> * Selecting first and then specifying an action works way better than the other way around, as it is done in the Vim family.

There is visual mode in vim too you know. That's for doing exactly what you describe. I use that when I'm unsure about the movement I need for an action.

Good luck with that.

A language does not need to be considered Turing complete to be considered code.

As if LoC was a usable metric when it comes to a language as verbose as java.

Plus all the boilerplate coming not from the language but the OOP design patterns.

Guaranteed upgrade cadence is not enough. I think what would be regulated is that they MUST open source afther that 3-5 years.

Just as we have with pharma patents, after a protection period it should be free game, and they should open-source if they don't intend to continue pushing updates, say evety 6 months or so.

It's not about 'who's going to do it' but about 'if I want to do it, I can'.

I would really like to hack on a tablet I have that's 5 years old, but I can't because the firmware and drivers are both closed source.

I think when I buy a device, I should get the source code to it once the manufacturer decides it's not worth it for them to continue patching the software for the device I've bought.

A former colleague of mine did something similar several years ago for Java, intended to be used for failing unit tests: https://github.com/dodie/scott

That's how I've been doing presentations for years!

Made me really excited and happy when I discovered it.

I'd just use parinfer/paredit and forget about the whole formatting 90% of the time.

What you get in return is somebody (the government) took the risk of a blind faith payment to have a university develop a vaccine.

That's what you paid for, not for production, not for distribution, not for anything else.

You didn't pay taxes for a free vaccine, because you don't pay remotely enough taxes for that to be viable at all. Unless every country on earth takes their fair share of blind-faith financing a single company.

The possibility of them 'being able to do that' is because of laws that got passed by democratically elected officials.

If you don't like that, vote someone in power who regulates that more.

The problem with these discussions is that nobody tells their opinions to their representative, they just blurt it out into the 'aether' on a rando internet forum.

True change starts with calling your representative. If they don't do what you ask them to, then have other people ask as well. Finally, have them vote them out of office if a sufficient ammount of people want the same thing that the representative won't do (eg. represent their constituents).

They belong to a publicly funded research institute that was given the right by the public to sell it's research to private enterprise.

The 'public' wanted that by voting in the lawmakers making that possible.

That's how democracy works.

Also we're not talking about physical things, but something 'intellectual' like software, so the comparison is inaccurate.

More accurate would be IT research done in a publicly funded university.

No, we're only paying for part of 'it'. The cure isn't just research, it's also logistics and there does not exist a capable non-profit to do the logistics part of it in such a short time. Also you underestimate how much it costs to build such a supply chain capable of producing and shipping that many vaccines around the world. Hint: the research costs are just a fraction of the logistics cost, you just don't see that up front because it's also used to ship other stuff besides vaccines.

These things cost money, and you assume your taxes are covering them in full. They don't.

My comment might be read as 'Nothing will EVER compare to nuclear'. While in fact what I meant was 'CURRENTLY nothing scientifically viable compares to nuclear.'

I do have high hopes about fusion and molten salt thorium is also up there as something I'd like to be further explored.

But currently nothing up and coming seems to compare to nuclear.

I just did a quick skim of the wikipedia page of that 'hydrino' stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brilliant_Light_Power#Criticis....

I'm not an expert, but reading those criticisms makes me think this is nothing more than a money grab scheme without delivering anything usable for the past 30 years.

Also, this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24423103

I regularly use git add -p. Also git rebase -i.

I get the feeling that people don't really know about the interactive git commands.

TBQH most people don't explore git beyond the pull-add-commit-push flow, the ones that do immediately feel like they need a GUI where a TUI would do just as well.

Oh, talking about TUI, I also use https://jonas.github.io/tig/ sometimes.

Exactly.

Most people just don't want to accept the fact that when it comes to energy density, nothing compares to nuclear. Nothing even comes close.

When will we have a proper LSP implementation for Kotlin that is maintained not by a single person but a full blown team?

JetBrains is very short-sighted about this[1], putting their own IDE-s success over the success of Kotlin: not healthy for the language if you ask me.

A lot of developers using Kotlin are also gaslighting everyone who doesn't want to use IntelliJ for Kotlin as if using the editor of your choosing is some sort of madness.

Kotlin needs to be a foundation, it clearly has a big community to drive the language and its accompanying tooling and integrations. Kotlin needs to be completely decoupled from JetBrains to succeed outside the JVM/java legacy areas.
