In this case, it was precisely the act of "allow nazis" that led Google to its current situation.

People aren't stupid, but the fact that Google is in this situation proves that we should have been less naive.


I don’t understand your point. It sounds like you think someone is making Google take unwanted actions.


> LVMH owner Bernard Arnault, who could take €1bn hit, says proposed 2% levy ‘aims to destroy liberal economy’

I don't know why what Bernard Arnault says is on HN, he has no competencies in economy.

No dumb rich-hate here, simply that Bernard Arnault is definitely not best person to talk about the subject.


To argue that Bernard Arnault is clueless in economics is beyond absurd. He did not inherit this wealth. He did start with a family operating business, yes, but nowhere near his life result (and "the job" not even complete yet). He grew his group entirely in one generation - and so, yeah he has a pretty good grasp of economics.

Biased, sure - like most of the french population where being opinionated is normal. Clueless, no.


I don't know anything about him personally, but if he's that rich then I'm certain he has a highly paid team of extremely expert and well-informed people that are giving him his information. I take what he has to say with a grain of salt since he has such a massive self-interest in this, but still worthy of examining his arguments


The second sentence is also very good to see:

> Our aim is to produce timeless code that will be readable, understandable, and maintainable by programmers who have not yet been born.


I’ve never been a fan on ThinkPad looks, until I get a second hand one, in 2014. It had 4GB or RAM and starts to have hard time with browsing, so few month ago, I bought 16GB for 20€. I’m almost sure It could live for 5 or 10 years.

My only complain is Ctrl cap sensor having some inconsistencies, I have to push strong on it.

For the rest I consider ThinkPad as the way to go for second hand.


One of my most educational personal project has been to update a ten y/o mupen64plus OpenGL plugin (Rice) to OpenGLES for RPi.

So much code that looks weird that I had dig in a lot and finally understood why this tiny piece of non-sense code is actually what make the whole system working, and think about how smart the previous dev was and how dumb I would have solve the problem myself.


> Friends have told me that they’re relieved I seem “like myself” even after everything that’s happened. I don’t understand how that’s possible when I frequently don’t feel like I have a self to be. Jake and I became so entangled in these last few years that it still seems like many of my thoughts belong to both of us.

I can only recommend to read « Éloge de l'amour » from Alain Badiou (and Nicolas Truong). It defends love as a conscientious and willing alterity of yourself, but a non-controlled alterity, an alterity puts in the hands of another.

That’s why, I think, people does not help that much someone that lost a love saying him/her will be more focused on them-self. Because the lost was absolute part of them-self, and not something they actually suffer from.


I had the chance to work with Léo at its first job (Princes et Princesses from Michel Ocelot). It’s a wonderful guy, very fun and pleasant to work with.

TBH, the rest of the Ocelot’s team was the smoother peoples I had opportunity to work with.


To continue the analogy: Rock stars want to rock, not to teach music.


> Rock stars want to rock, not to teach music.

Even rock stars do not do that alone. Somebody has to put the equipment together, sell tickets, record their music, play bass.


So you mean rock star should leave music and teach people how to sell tickets and mix tracks?


And yet if you want to build an empire of rock music, the person who teaches stars to rock is vastly more important than any one star.

Even the 5x dev who teaches just 2 others to be 5x devs is more impactful than the lone 10x dev that ignores their team, and always will be.


All of this is weird. Leaving a SSL CA open to anyone ~~the day official servers are close~~.

EDIT: Bug exists since 1 march 2021.

At first, it seems nice. But its impossible that Nintendo being nice in anyway, and even less more by adding a bug. This, and Pretendo that seems to expect the bug before the release.

I find this really suspicious.


I would assume they sat on this until Nintendo shut down service to ensure they wouldn't push a fix.


Indeed, from their blog post

> We've been holding on to this exploit for this day for quite some time, in case Nintendo decided to issue patches for it.

Before anybody asks why Nintendo would patch exploits for such an old system, they've been regularly patching exploits for the 3DS up until May 2023.

I'm somewhat skeptical that Nintendo won't end up fixing this one too. The eShop is still running so users can continue to download their purchased games: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/...

> For the foreseeable future, it is still possible to download update data and redownload purchased software and downloadable content from Nintendo eShop.


Yeah, this community prefers that these kinds of exploits (that require physical possession of the device to recover power over it) aren't patched. I don't see anything morally wrong with it. If security comes to the cost of the user losing control over the device, it is not security, it's abusive DRM.
