How do you propose to do this? We have a lot of trouble doing it with old people already.

This. From what I understand, raising taxes goes over better most places than in America. It's also worth pointing out that Norway, a country with an incredibly generous entitlement program, funds a huge amount of it via oil productio

If you give people everything, they just won't work as hard. At least, I don't think they will over the long term. It's like retirement: some may learn a skill, volunteer, etc., but most just watch TV and wait to die. This

Part of the problem with starting that here is that many railroads have to just stop roads dead for 5-10 minutes every time they go by. Even if it's a fast train and it's 2-4 minutes, that would cause a crazy traffic increase her

That's a good point; you're right that it's helpful to be able to interface with such a ubiquitous program natively in a language of choice. I did see a mention on the page of deploying as a crate and using in another progra

Upgrades are basically decided by the user by updating their cmake config. It can check a specific page on the server and compare with a page in the repo to see if an update is necessary. The central server doesn't have to do anythin

I meant the latest I have pushed to a specific server I run. This means I can push up and everyone working on the project can fetch them easily. It requires intervention, and I wouldn't push until I've tested thoroughly and made

What would you suggest instead? This is honest, not sarcastic. Cmake can be very powerful, and I don't know of a better option. For instance, it can even be set up to download the latest binary dependencies, which is very useful.

That sounds awful. How do they not have problems with people boosting above maximum allowed signal strength? I probably would have tried that by now.

Yes, pretty much exactly as opposed to that. That's why I'm giving them credit for it; maybe they've realized their users want a really high-quality product. This might even indicate that they're going to actually get

Can somebody tell me what is behind the recent rewrite-all-the-things-in-rust craze? I get it can have some benefits in terms of security, but it seems rewriting so many things in it just for the sake of it is a bit excessive. I understand

The worst part is that it's not just OpenAI, the politicians figured out this is a good way to draw votes. The right does it to draw the rust belt, and the left to draw the urban poor.

Maybe we just shoudln't have self driving cars. The bias of the HN crows seems to be that "oh, technology will advance and solve the problems; just give it time". No code is perfect; no system is 100% secure. This isn&#x27

Seeing as this is a server, is there any way to run it over the network? This seems like the sort of thing a shared codebase could benefit from, with everyone sharing the same, custom-tweaked auto-completion.

Maybe this is part of the benefit of the whole micro-service trend? I've largely dismissed the idea until now as impractical in many cases, but this seems like a case where a team of between three and six developers could work in some

Whether or not you agree with the direction in which they are taking their product, making a keyboard so thin that types as well as it does is quite difficult. The problem they have is literally because of stray dust specks.

This kind of stinks, but it's good to see Apple doing right by its customers. Telling them something will come that won't isn't right. And if they simply can't deliver a product, then they shouldn't make a half-ba

I'd guess that max bluetooth transmission strength is less than the maximum allowed by the FCC's spec for the 2.4ghz band (bluetooth and many other things use this). We'll probably just end up in an arms race of transmission

Can we all just agree there are places in which computers do not belong? Or if they do, they ought to be minimized. Implanted devices, nuclear plants, etc.

Yes, and I would say that might be a good middle ground. I personally really like having the freedom to customize the software I run on the device. However, there's always the security question, and it's true that not being able
