To summarize: the post is phrased in terms of an existing controversy about whether Gorbachev was "powerless" in the face of the bureaucracy (and how much he feared a coup), but concludes he wasn't. Instead, the author thinks Gorbachev was quite powerful, but focused on the wrong things, specifically on political reform instead of economic reform. Critical economic reforms like price reform was abandoned, and at the same time state enterprise reform caused fiscal problems that left the center weak. At the same time, political reform ended up empowering regions ("republics" meaning nationalities), which ended up wrestling fiscal control of the center. Eventually (this part is uncontroversial) the RSFSR ended up with more power than the center and dissolved the USSR.

Anyone paying $5m for a gold card will have a higher standard of living in the US than Thailand or Vietnam. Even if you make just a bit above the US average salary your life will be better in the US than Thailand at least. In Thailand from my experience living there it is great if you're broke/low income but actual luxuries are a premium to western countries.

Why would you expect someone to be spending all their money on this? It's clearly for wealthy people. I'm Canadian/Australian so you can probably guess my opinions on Trump and the current US government but I don't have any problem with this type of program and most countries already have a similar one just at a lower price point(I think Canadas in like $2m in venture investing instead of a straight payment to the government but same difference).
> My absolute favorite Fermi's Paradox theory is that life on Earth was evolving too slowly to survive, so aliens sped up the process while hiding themselves, but that came with a variety of problems that humanity bumps into, and the aliens are trying to clean up the mess without destroying humanity's potential for a unique identity.

As a mentor is the security field I found curiosity is key - I have absolutely no problem someone having 0 clue about something but with a good foundation they need to kick into 5th gear.

Few are able to do it in a reasonable amount of time - During these situations the ressource ain't the problem - it's the person who took them in that didn't make the right choice...

But yeah I'm with you 100% - having no clue about XML is kinda of scary tbh.
The key is “unmodified” and how APFS knows or doesn’t know whether they are modified. How many apps write on block boundaries or even mutate just in disk data that has changed vs overwriting or replacing atomically? For most applications there is no benefit and a significant risk of corruption.

So APFS supports it, but there is no way to control what an app is going to do, and after it’s done it, no way to know what APFS has done.
> "Boiling it down to an art is not reductionist. It’s true. Where is the scientific method in programming? How was a pattern deduced using the scientific method? If it was not deduced using the method then was it created from axioms and logic like math? Is it a theorem?

No. It’s all just made up. And we have no quantitative way of verifying why one design is better than another design. That’s why software technology often moves horizontally. There’s no way to verify the current design was better than the last."

Thanks for saying this. I've never stopped rolling my eyes at the assertion that web programming is an engineering discipline.
I don't know, I think the kind of person that comments on hacker news is not the average sort of programmer. I mentioned Clean Code to a more experienced colleague today and he had no idea what I was talking about, and when I mentioned the ideas to him he laughed at them. So I don't think there's some sort of pendulum swinging the other way and people are going to start writing massive functions. You'll probably just see small subcultures come up with some new idea that's obnoxious.

There have been some pendulum swinging around things like monoliths/microservices, but even then the amount of people that those things effected is actually much less than the larger community of programmers as a whole.

The incitement to violence came later, at the climax, after the hatred was distilled via the type of hate speech we are discussing here. This is the etiology of all internal genocides. They all follow the same pattern. Attempting to inderdict the genocide just as the calls to violence are happening is too late, because the population is too radicalized by that point.

What makes you pick the mid-20th century as the high point of repressive christian moralism? That doesn't seem even close to the high point if you look back further in history.

Go back and read what I said about subject nouns and object nouns. When converting OO concepts to English for non-programmers, it is indeed confusing to say “the order decided not to”—you say “the order couldn’t be” instead.

I highly recommend reading the two books I recommended for further perspective on the topic. OO is predicated not on the idea that data is a bag of dead bits on which operations are performed, but that data is embodied within and encapsulated by anthropomorphic objects with their own behavior.

It is possible to get to that world of thinking from where you are now. But it is a different world. A different way of thinking.
You're saying that my argument that "8 engines is not simple" is invalid because... it would not be simple to replace them with modern efficient engines... because there are 8 of them.

Yes. We agree: the setup is not standard, not simple, and requires 2x the maintenance that 1/2 the engines would for decades and decades.

Older and established isn't necessarily "simpler" or "cheaper".

The average annual maintenance cost of a B-52 is $70 million.

The maintenance cost of a 747 or a similar sized plane is more like $4 million, and they operate far more hours than the B-52 fleet.

A commercial plane equivalent to a B-52 costs something like $200M to purchase new, which is just three years of maintenance for a B-52!

Sure, sure, the out-of-the-box default for a commercial wide-body airliner is not immediately usable as a strategic bomber, but it's not that hard to add a bomb bay, in-air fuel port, etc...

"There is something kind of wrong about watching a bald eagle eat a road kill raccoon."

Why? The bald eagle is a ... bird wot eats meat. If the meat dies by other means and involves no effort then cool - dive in and tuck in. I'll grant you - its not for me!

Look at the constraints and restrictions and opportunities for birds. Yes they can fly (why do they fly). Flying requires huge amounts of energy. It needs the body to be "light" which isn't helpful for a predator that might encounter resistance - feathers turn out to be quite a good armour, along with some fancy footwork and some very fancy bone structures help with the weight issue.

The talons and beak are superb adaptations too. Horrid to watch in action but that's what they do.

Try and imagine yourself in the place of your hero bird. It has a sodding hard and quite short life. Now try and imagine how it strives to stay alive and be that symbol you love to think of - it does not care what you think about its diet! It strives to stay alive and that is really hard - even for an apex predator.

The collapse of the Soviet Union as it was was inevitable. Gorbachev recognized it and tried to do something about it. Given the gargantuan challenge, Gorbachev's odds of success were not great to begin with. At least he was wise enough to shepherd its demise peacefully. In any case, the world without the Soviet Union is undoubtedly a better place.
It's the law of the land. Just like in "Islamic Republic of Iran" where you hail from, "it is the law of the land" of strictly secular France that students must adhere to a very strict dress code.

That would be against the separation of powers doctrine inherent in all Western democracies. The job of the legislature is to write the law. The job of the judiciary is to interpret the law.

Besides, when the law is ambiguous, it's very often because the legislature themselves weren't sure what they intended, and/or because the legislature had deeply divided views and arrived at ambiguous wording as a compromise, and/or because the legislature used their "somebody else's problem" prerogative i.e. they said "let's leave that for the courts to decide". Ambiguously worded laws isn't a bug, it's a feature!

Or perhaps you've got it backwards: there's no reason for browsers to prevent anyone from implementing any language they want.

JS and backwards compatibility gave me a chuckle...try hanging out on the web in IE11.
RFC 1738 and 2396 both say schemes are lowercase but implementers "should" treat uppercase as equivalent.

RFC 3986 explicitly says schemes can have uppercase letters but are canonically lowercase, and says that they are case-insensitive. But it also still says that implementations "should" accept uppercase letters as equivalent.

WHATWG's URL standard mandates case-insensitive matching.

In practice anything you scan a QR code with will probably not have a problem with the uppercase scheme.

Scott from Gel here. I suspect for everyone we talked to in the "So, this is a database for Edge computing?" camp there were a dozen people who thought that and just kept moving even if they were our target audience. It's hard to quantify just what the cost have having a name with such a strong connotation (which has arguably gone up and down in the hype cycle over the lifetime of EdgeDB) has been.

Gel doesn't have any really strong existing computing connotations, so maybe people might make a stretch that it's about some non-computing-related domain and maybe we miss reaching them. But that just seems far less likely than trying to continue to push against the overwhelming feeling that "Edge" just has too much baggage and was working against us.

Personally, I think it's fine if people find the name confounding or just personally dislike it. I think products like Supabase, Neon, Drizzle, CockroachDB, Django, Flask, Express, etc etc kind of prove that if your name is general enough, you'll overcome that reaction eventually via recognition for the value of the product itself.

Measles: The race to understand 'immune amnesia' (2024)
The corporate veil can be pierced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil. From the Wikipedia page, it sounds like this is most common in the United Kingdom when a corporation "is established to avoid an existing obligation" - which is exactly what you're suggesting. I am not licensed to practice law anywhere, but particularly not in the United Kingdom, where I have never been.

To my understanding working at American non-profits, however, corporations are most helpful as a liability shield when they are clearly distinct entities, with distinct goals, and distinct decision making. In practice, that means having multiple people, writing some sort of charter / statement of purpose, and having quarterly meetings of a board of directors with quorums where notes are written and votes are taken. This can all be a fair bit of work, where before nothing was required.

Not to put you off investigating alternative shells (I've spent time with rc shell, xonsh (and tako), and even turned gauche scheme & tcl into a commandline shell), but isn't your bash problem solved by using $PS1 to launch your own functions to do whatever?

At least, you can use $PS1 for the "after command" bit. For pre-command, just use a simple 1 letter wrapped script which does whatever, and then exec's the remaining arguments (aka "Bernstein chaining")
