The incoming Q1 earning reports will show if these actions are mainstream enough to make a visible dent in companies quarterly earnings. For now, the already reported Tesla sales numbers in Europe are substantially down, but Tesla is the strongest target of the boycott. It will be interesting to see if consumer companies such as Coca Cola, Nike, Amazon also report a substantial drop in EU sales.

Sounds like you're dealing with a case of impostor syndrome.

My advice is just write more code until you make enough mistakes that have consequences that make you understand why it's better to "write less code".

If you consider how people get better at other skills, let's say 3d printing or carpentry; they make a ton of useless stuff for reasons that might only make sense to them - they 3d print figurines of stuff from games or movies they like, they craft things just to test out a new machine or to give them a reason to buy some gear.

Maybe don't look at your self as a "programmer", look at yourself as a "person who knows programming".
If you like video games you might develop a tool that helps you generate strategies for that game or if it's an online game you can make a tool that queries some of the APIs of the game so you can run analysis or alerts on what happens in the game.

All in all we are people who write code that serves other people in the end, so being "good enough" is just about finding people that need the level of code you are able to write.

I think 6 months of experience is a very short time to reach conclusions about what does or doesn't work for you, maybe 6 years might be enough.

Try not to develop an emotional attachment to your job, you will end up earning more and learning more if you switch companies every 1-2 years and that's hard if you let your current position define who you are.

Also check out this list[0] and read about some of the biases if you're not aware of them, it helped me to deal with the way I feel about myself and others.

The idea is that you do not install packages, at all. Instead, you would use Flatpak and the like, plus mutable containers (Distrobox or whatever) if needed.

Like the Soviet Union, the European Union operates at a scale where it can feasibly create a nearly full suite of goods/services in parallel to the market alternative.
Love the fact that hacker news comments are absolutely pulling up on this website.

They are blatantly lying in many of their offerings ( zero cost egress see the rustc comment) and so much more.

Wha? Why are you lying. Why are you being deceptive.

How can I trust a company which is this level of deceptive.
This is missing the point. Everything they offer is storage, VPS, Load balancer, one managed key-value store and two managed databases. For the price a little higher than, say, Digital Ocean. But where is managed cache, message broker, e-mail service. It is not enough to be European, they need to offer something competitive.

I guess they can win some clients, given current hostility of Europe against Trump, but what if in two years Trump will be off the news, people would not care anymore about being anti_USA or what if in 4 year Dems will figure out why they lost in 2024 and find someone less lame, who will win election, whom Europe will like again?

This is really interesting! You mention using LLMs to parse sentences in strongly typed prompts, but how would this work with the prevalence of tolerated grammatical errors in most languages? Would such a parsing always be "pass/fail" or would you be able to get a degree of correctness?

> least some part of the populace is well armed enough to overthrow t

What a naive fantasy.

Organization of people is much more important than guns. You don't even need guns when you organize. You can stop the state just by collective action. See color revolutions.

When it is guns, you need RGP's, detonators and TNT (and drones), a good underground insurgent logistic chains. You also need commit to life in poverty and eventual death.

United States, Hungary, Turkey, Russia, Serbia have plenty of independent weapons, yet there is no fear of effective armed resistance. Everybody is a rebel in the Internet. When things go tough it's "I have to go to work and eat. My family needs me."

Akshually... According to Wikipédia FR, the French equivalent of Sight Reading is "Lecture à vue" [1].

Notes:

- I'm French;
- I learnt to play the piano as a teenager, and I'm trying to get back to it again as at 45+;
- I too discovered the "sight reading" term online, but that was long ago (as I recall, through a video of an adult piano player doing "live sight-reading" versions of songs he didn't know beforehand, such as the Mario theme [2];

... and YET neither have I ever heard of nor used "Lecture à vue" (that I remember of). I too would use "apprendre le solfège" (EN: learn solfège) when saying that I'm learning to read the notes on sheet music while playing at the same time.

> So what's the deterrent but for Europe to buy its own umbrella?

We already have an umbrella and it costs 3 times as much as Russia's umbrella, while being much less effective. So before burning another €800 billions Iwish we'd put some effort in finding ways to make our current $450 billions of yearly expense work.

Seriously, if we need 10x Russia's budget to keep up with them we've already lost.

On the other hand, if the ultimate goal isn't to make Europe safer, but just to enrich a bunch of weapon manufacturers, then I'd say this plan works perfectly.
It should be said that in no way is anyone at fault for walking on a mountain at night using a headlamp.

They're isolated by website but the tabs are not isolated from each other, like in Safari (in private browsing).

This distinction matters, if you primarily use private browsing, and have lots of tabs open from a site (say, Wikipedia, or Reddit, or pick a social networking service you don't want to track you by cookie[1]) - that particular website will know all the different tabs are from the same user potentially over a long stretch of time if at least one of those tabs remains open.

I started switching. Email was pretty easy to set up a new account with a different provider and to change on the main websites I use. Good way to "unsubscribe" to a load of spam as well. Switching apps or uninstalling where possible on the phone helped. No more google maps for example, and removing or switching things like gmail or chrome from the home screen also helped break the habit of checking them.
why would Europeans not like it?

edit: aha, misread the comment, i read it as, roughly: "europeans would not like it if americans start looking at the european alternatives", not "looking at alternatives to european products" - yes, i agree, Europeans would not like that.
"Privacy" went down the drain long time ago. It's good to be aware of the worst offending policies of specific countries and providers. UK and Germany take inglorious lead. Is it worth considering the alternative is consolidated abuse by oligopoly of US providers? Your choice.
In seL4's virtualization support, VM exceptions are turned into messages and handled by VMM, a task running in unprivileged mode.

GitAuto is a QA coding agent. The GitAuto's Coverage Dashboard is a new tool that displays test coverage data for repositories where GitAuto is installed. It helps users create GitHub issues for improving test coverage.

The help content outlines four main steps:

1. Select Repository: Users need to choose an Organization and Repository to begin.

2. Refresh Coverage: First-time users should click the "Refresh Coverage" button in the Actions menu.

3. Wait for Analysis: The system takes 5-10 minutes to:
- Clone the repo
- Install packages
- Build the project
- Run tests
- Generate and analyze test reports
- Show coverage data
(This process doesn't use any credits)

4. Create Issues: Users can create GitHub issues for files that have low test coverage, particularly for important functions or classes. GitAuto can be assigned to these issues, and creating them doesn't consume credits.
Just do it! The trust has been broken. I am sure we will be just fine in Europe.
Does it definitely do that? You could easily avoid it by making the "resize" really a move if you don't actually need more space.

I feel like they're over-selling it anyway by comparing to `std::deque` (which is not hard to beat). The only advantage this has over a standard ring buffer (like Rust's VecDeque) is that the data is completely contiguous, but you'll pay a small performance cost for that (regular memmove's when used as a queue), and I'm not sure how useful it is anyway.
We remember the stupid "freedom fries" era. Besides, the whole reason this started was the US president trying to "encourage" Americans not to buy EU products with tariffs.

As with Chinese manufacturing, the US may find it harder than it expects. Especially as the trade surplus includes a lot of pharmaceuticals and B2B products.

Hey! Not sure how modern your codebase is, but you can consider the following tsconfig settings:

- rewriteRelativeImportExtensions: this will allow you to write `import foo from './foo.ts'` and have tsc transform it to `import foo from './foo.js'`

- erasableSyntaxOnly: this will error on non "erasable" syntax, that is, TypeScript code that has a runtime output (e.g. enums)

With these two settings enabled, you'd be able to run TypeScript code directly with Node: `node src/index.ts`, and cut boot up time substantially

The fastest single threaded, non overclocked, commercially available cpu was the Intel i3 7350k.

I haven't seen anything bench faster than a system set up for that machine on a business board.

I think now with advancements such as AVX (the newer versions that chips like atoms don't have) the 7350k can be viewed as a power hungry pig.

I'm not sure though. The systems I purpose built using those CPUs still work great, no real significant performance issues even with current software and web. And they can use a single battery UPS.

I still have a 16 core 5950x, that is 10% faster than the 40 core xeon box it replaced, at 1/4 the wattage at the wall as my main machine.

We should not be bragging about that "security", those cookie pop-ups are just a pointless annoyance. At least I guess we can all agree that there is far more to data security :-)
> There seems to be a huge opportunity here, since everything in the cloud computing category are plain old server hosts, nothing like "real clouds".

I don't know for all options in the category but Scaleway offers a viable alternative to EC2, EBS, Lambda, S3, EKS, ECR, CloudFront and many more (although IAM is still lacking depth). OVHCloud also has a Public Cloud offer than differ from their baremetal offer (the plain old server one) but IMO it's lacking compared to Scaleway. I've heard good about UpCloud and Exoscale but never tried them myself.

I do think integration with compliance vendors and marketplace offers are two things where these providers are lacking but I'd be curious what you find is lacking to qualify them as "real clouds".
For me, I enjoy solving complex problems as simply as possible. Also, in my career I've worked with devs for whom the complexity of their solution is a badge of honour.
Not sure how much it gets consumed, but many places in Germany rather sell Fritz-Kola only.
Presumably a bunch of Europeans would lose their jobs if the Americans stop buying cars and machine tools and whatnot from Europe.
Obviously the EU wont like it, so where does your curiosity come from?

That is right, but while I have found it very useful even today to read in original the works of Georg Bauer, Newton, von Linné, Gauss and the like, there is much less interest in reading the many ecclesiastic documents that treated subjects with only a limited temporal relevance (unless you are a historian of that time period).

In general, I strongly recommend to read carefully in original the scientific literature of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, even if that requires the ability to read at least Latin, German, French and English, because by reading the original sources you can find frequently that the authors have said things quite different (and wiser) than what it is claimed that they have said in many university textbooks or popular science books.

In science and technology, there is very little that becomes truly obsolete, because the optimal solutions for solving practical problems often cycle through the space of solutions during the years, depending on how the balance between various advantages and disadvantages changes with the evolution of the available technologies. So those who believe that it is enough to read the up-to-date literature are typically wrong, because the miracle new solution of tomorrow is frequently again the same that was best 50 years ago, or even earlier, but which had become forgotten in recent years.
My guess is because less money flows to Europe when less Americans use european services?

Had a hard time parsing that comment as well..

But the services thing cuts both ways and afaik Europe uses more US services than vice versa in terms of revenue.
> seL4 is the only microkernel that has a proof of correctness

ProvenCore (https://provenrun.com/provencore/) has a proof that covers correctness (memory safety, and more generally absence of UB, termination, etc.), functional properties (e.g. the fork() system call is a refinement of an abstract "clone" operation of abstract machines), and security properties (memory isolation).
This is the most Dutch comment ever on HN
To be honest , most developers would much prefer to write containers or flatpak if it just works on any linux machine.

There is no free lunch , the developer might feel that his package just got into apt magically without him doing effort but the maintainer would need to do these efforts and it might not be streamlined for the developer as much as a container created by the dev himself.

It also provides more security. Flatpaks are really neat but they aren't that used in cli world in my opinion, I wanted to make a flatpak cli and I just couldn't , so I gave up

Appimage are also nice but they also have some issues , I had created appseed which basically created a static binary from dynamic binaries automatically using zapps.app but it has some issues and i am too lazy

Well that's interesting, I'd have thought they would work with Scaleway for "the cat", is there some Swedish company offering cheap GPU instances?
I don't think it's fair to say that Europeans started. Danes always bought US hardware over European arms, went to war when US called and lost soldiers. Now they are threatened with imperial invasion and called a 'bad ally' by their 'ally'. This was one of the most pro-US countries in the world.
European services and products are not the dominant and default solution for most people, nor are they becoming increasingly entangled with controversial political views and activities. So your curiosity may have to wait a while.
> In Europe we have less and less people.

Sorry, what Europe are you talking about ? I don't think that's true.
I don't think helping to make the world a more dangerous, unstable place is a good trade for that.
Only for companies who are profitable or might be profitable in the future.

If the company has no chance at future profit, it becomes a simple share of assets. There are plenty of companies with assets only and no revenue or employees.
This post also sounds way too passive aggressive to me . I don't know. Just my 2 cents

I think the touchpads are the reason why many (like me) chose the Steam Deck instead - and I use them for controller games!
It feels like there's always somebody campaigning for a boycott of some megacorp or other, but this time there's likely to be a breakout from the narrow activist circles (who already weren't buying Coca Cola, Nike, Amazon) into the mainstream public.

Tesla in particular are so easily targeted for "secondary picketing": people making it embarrasing to own a Tesla or just straight up targeting them for vandalism.

It does have a distinctive visual look and physical feel. And while it’s not as sleek or ergonomic as the latest Logitech mouse (who gave him an office at their headquarters from 1992 to 2007), it’s pretty great to actually touch and hold -- just to grasp firsthand how far input devices have come.

i really really don't understand how americans don't realize that their president is sabotaging their economy. They were number 1 everywhere, and yet he destroyed all relationships with their main economical and military allies.

It's totally impossible to understand, except with some hollywoodest scenario. But the fact that some american support this is borderline crazy.
We are seeing uptick off traffic on Wide Angle Analytics. Not just from the aforementioned directory.
You cannot really compare dedi to VPS pricing. Upcloud is similar to DO etc.
Unfortunately yes. Our biggest company is Novo Nordisk, a company that sells weightloss drugs to Americans. It narrowly beats out LVMH, a company that sells luxury goods to Americans.
well, that is for the americans to sort out their issues. clearly they have a lot of them.
