Why does there need to be a company affiliation at all? Do you feel this JEP is motivated by a company's interests?

"Nice glossy look" is very Vista-era: it's has fallen out of fashion since then.

Do you browse new? None of these have had more than a couple points since https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9294622 in 2015.

It seems very reasonable that most visitors simply never saw any of those submissions.

I find I occasionally look at "huge" text files in my day job, but they're almost never source files -- so I don't need syntax highlighting, jump to definition, etc.

Is this something you do often in your C++ development?

Do note that this project isn't open source: for something like an editor, this is a bit of a negative for me since it significantly reduces how it can be customized if need be.

What prevents a more general solution like using @flagfiles instead of literally specifying them as arguments?

The Bazel documentation does tend to repeat them in multiple sections, though.

It also doesn't include many "undocumented"/experimental flags, which are hidden in release notes or only mentioned in the source code.

Mosh doesn't work with SSH bastions (kind of obviously, but admittedly a bummer indeed), which Uber's blog post shows they use (as do many other similarly-sized companies).

Does anyone have experience using this at Meta who can compare to https://github.com/uber/NullAway ?

It's a small piece of plastic. A damaged car is generally expensive to repair, and "disagree with something being displayed" is very different than "intentionally obscures license plate".

You can't "both sides" and pretend to be neutral when your argument equates two incredibly different scenarios.

What does this mean?

The same engineers who staffed the IRC channel staff the Discord. Unfortunately it moved to a proprietary platform when Freenode was taken over in 2021. As _engineers_, though, they're never going to be a point of escalation for a support concern related to disputes, supportability, or issues involving personal information.

It's probably a typo of USB-C? 0 and - are next to each other on many keyboard layouts.

This may be true, but you've missed the point that this is about aiding autocompletion while you're writing the query the first time.

What interpreter? Why do you assert that it's "not how Bazel would want to do it"?

No, it's not chroot -- it uses a tree of symlinks, created specifically for each process being run, that assumes the process isn't trying to escape the 'sandbox' too much.

At the end of the day, a _strong_ sandbox is going to require some OS-specific support, and this could be seen as a kind of graceful degradation when there's not a better OS-provided sandboxing tool.

(As an aside, your comments seem rather combative and I don't really understand why; we can discuss the merits of this tool without declaring it'll never catch on and won't _do enough_ for your standards.)

Bazel uses "sandbox-exec" on macOS, and has a more generic POSIX compatible sandbox if you can't use the Linux sandboxing tool too.

> And it _is_ possible to do something like this on Windows.

Are you able to point to any open source examples of this? Bazel supports Windows, and I'm sure they'd love to be able to support sandboxing on Windows as well.

It's (also?) used for self-checkout: put all of the items in a box, and it tallies up your total automatically, without scanning individual items.

If you consider the context of Carbon (Google having a _lot_ of C++), solving for "interop with C++ is hard" might be considered worth the price.

Whether that's true in practice...? I guess we'll need a few more years to tell.

Can you say more about what GCL does better than all of the open source ones?

Anecdotally, I've heard a lot of GCL horror stories, and many Xooglers have chosen to create things like Jsonnet or Skycfg (https://github.com/stripe/skycfg) instead.

I haven't used this particular framework, but having type safety in React through writing TypeScript, generating bindings to the backend so those are typed as well.

There's also a _ton_ of preexisting React components you can generally drop in and use, which is less true these days with something like a Django template.

You also have the option of doing SSR and then doing more dynamic stuff on the client side, as a sort of optimization (and plain better user experience than making _more_ server requests to get the initial page state loaded).

Does it require karabiner-elements even? The Keyboard pane in System Preferences lets you rebind all of the modifier keys -- I use it to make the Caps Lock key a Control key.

If you use an identity provider like Okta or OneLogin, then you're not tied to any "contentful" services like GitHub or a Google account that "historically" seem to have more problems of this type.

As far as threat models go, I can't really say I understand this one too much.

Like what? It's become a semi-public endorsement in some ways, at this point -- Twitter frequently recommends tweets in the feed because someone you follow liked it.

If you use Twitter, you probably know that. So, liking a tweet is not very similar to up-or down-voting on Reddit or HN, which is private.

It's easy to make this mistake, still: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/722d639fad2e4fc6eb2aabd4...

In practice, how often are you interested in it? C# has `Object.referenceEquals()` because you _may_ want this sometimes. But to have reference equality be the default for something like `==` is a design flaw. Not one that can be fixed now, of course, but it will continue to cause bugs for years to come.

Sometimes, it happens in core Java libraries themselves: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8274779

How can you legitimately compare this to the colors.js thing? This is a language evolving, and warning you of something that in Ruby 3 will be a _breaking change_.

This is a good change, too, and if you're just writing small one-off Ruby scripts, why not start writing compliant Ruby?

I go to amazon.com to search for and buy a specific thing. The occasional time I'd stop by a 4 Star or Books store, it was to _browse_, and.. honestly, probably buy things I didn't need.

before the pandemic, we used to gamify that at work -- who could go to the store, buy $x, and get out in the least amount of time!

definitely a gimmicky thing to put on the receipt, but I do miss these little "fun" things

I still find my M1 to be a way better experience: the M1 is quick, the fans virtually never come on, and battery life is a total game changer.

I also never use the "Spaces" feature; why not just use 'maximized' windows? I use https://rectangleapp.com/ to easily resize windows with keyboard shortcuts, which works well.

I get trying something new and not really liking it, but if you're going to comment, you should make an attempt to actually try it...
