I am on the right. Those on the right aren't changing their views on Warren because she discusses big tech. Really they aren't suddenly decicding they don't like her anymore.

Besides this the reasons for regulation are pretty damn compelling. Clear cut case of market failure. You cannot take your business elsewhere to deal with the failings of big tech. It is an industry with a long run decreasing average total cost curve and has network externalities. (Hence why there aren't 27 similar magnitude businesses competiung in the facebook space, for example).

Indeed even if you have no facebook account and have taken your business elsewhere they have a shadow profile of you from your firends and from web trackers and so on. Google have your mail and analyze it even if you run your own server and have no google account. The list goes on from there. The case for regulation is overwhelming, what many of those of us of a libertarian bent want is /sensible/ regulation rather than the idiotic variety that is so prevalent. There aren't many on the right who think you should be able to poison the water or, switch off the taps and increase prices by a factor of 100. There aren't many on the right who think national defence payment should be "opt in"

Anyway these are also esoteric arguments just as their counterarguments are and unlikely to get a groundswell of support either way without a splashy push. The election of Donald Trump was that push for a large number of people on all sides of politics. The counter to that push? Where is that?
Can I use this on behalf my @company users HIBP has just emailed me about?
While I realise that FPGAs are much closer to hardware design that programming is: delivering FPGA code to an FPGA to reconfigure it is still open-source software in my opinion. You've simply shifted what it is you're programming.

Actual open-source hardware (if you can indeed even use the phrase "open source" for this) would be distributing schematics of silicon chips online, so that anybody with the means to fabricate them could do so. I see this more akin to the "openess" of the 3D printing community. If technology to "3D print" silicon chips becomes available, that will be the turning point.
What makes you return there each year over other things you could reach with the same amount of driving? If you're near California or Florida, you are a day or so from a huge range of amazing places. Is it ease and familiarity?

I'm Australian but have been to Disneyland (CA) twice and Disney World (FL) once; twice with kids, once without. It's a polished experience for sure, but we spent a lot of time baffled by people in themed t-shirts, spending days there or returning year after year in place of other holiday options.
Apparently, running "uuidgen" is too difficult for them. Which, shouldn't be a surprise for someone who already decided to use XOR "encryption".

I'm working on a text adventure that is simply hyperlinked HTML pages with some snippets of JS for state management (just a bunch of localstorage get/put) and fancy effects. It's refreshing to go back to using the "kiddie" tools to make things.
you're absolutely right. it seems like a huge number of comilers have had 'global optimization' on their todo list, but never got around to it.

i think this paper (cant find a non-paywalled copy) https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/12276.13338 got around 10% just by attempting to align the allocation of the callers and the callee.

maybe memories are large enough now, and the whole proprietary binary-only library business model is gone, that we should really be abandoning the idea of seperate compilation units as the default.
Isn’t the text segment actually the machine instructions?

I'm trying to write an online clone of tichu, a card game that's famous in greece! :D

It's fun to play around with this game lib I found, maybe some state machines, some firebase deployments etc.
I'm responding to your comment. Scroll up to see my initial interest in this thread. Yes, State as in New Jersey. As in, you're in the United States. Where there are far better WIC-like programs than many other countries. You are better off than people who are happier than you are. Poverty is relative. It sucks, but if you are eating when there's no pandemic, a very slight change over a long time will prepare you for pandemics, job loss, other such events. You will have more freedom, more well-being.

If you don't like that, great, be unprepared in the next pandemic if you insist, but I actually do a lot of work with and donate a huge amount of money to various shelters, kitchens, and other assistance programs. But every time I comment with actual common sense advice, there is always some comment like, "well ACKTUALLY... there's just people who make less money than you do now, so clearly you lack compassion and understanding".
Soft reboot should work. I think leaving it crashed for 60 seconds was up to the discretion of the user. He never tried soft rebooting. Of course not, since it was a demo of the hack. But soft reboot would be my go-to thing here and I would also at the same time start looking for safe places to pull over just in case the soft reboot didn't fix it.

But yeah this is an annoying hack if it hits an average driver. I'd say whether it's dangerous or not depends on how the driver responds. Just as you say, if any important part of the dash fails, the actions to take are largely the same as for a regular car, except I'm adding that there is that additional option of the soft reboot, in the meantime, which may fix it completely before a pullover can even happen.

If they are not aware of soft reboot, they should just drive safely and pull over to call service to ask what to do. If they don't do this, it's just like anyone in any car driving with something non-functional; the responsibility falls on the driver.

>I'm not "forming an opinion" about Tesla

OK, fair enough. If not for you, it can stand as a general comment about the nature of comments often seen in discussions about Tesla.
This is a failure of the executive branch. Congress did its job long ago. The executive branch already had the legal means it needed but the administration chose to abdicate its responsibility.
This is what I found from their job posting for a backend engineer, ”You have deep expertise in building, deploying, monitoring and scaling systems on AWS. You understand the ins and outs of Python, Postgres, Redis and more.”

I also found out there’s a project management app called Clubhouse, so that’s a little weird.

Humor is an integral part of the human experience and connecting with someone else. Saying “ban humor” leaves the community very sterile.
In the dark offline ages there were also those things called "books" :-)

> The pace at which my yearly expenses inflate is much more correlated to CPI than money supply. My expenses haven’t changed much between 2019, 2020 and 2021 (projected), despite the large money printing, and my consumption pattern has been the same.

What were the changes in your health insurance premiums(employer+employee)/deductible/oop max?

As an example, my parents’ deductible went from $3,450 to $6k, monthly premium from $1,137 to $1,232 between 2020 and 2021.

My expenses consistently go up quite a bit, far more than any government number. Both for my businesses and at home. My taxes also reliably go up more than CPI figures. Land has especially gone up.

Also, if you were planning on purchasing a home in any popular area of the past 10+ years, the lack of price increase in food or tech would have been meaningless in the face of land price increases.
Enlightened or not, it's accurate. Trump was actually president and now Biden's administration is raising 'deep concerns'.

We knew or should have known the virus was coming for months before it was a problem in the US. It would take an incredibly enlightened politician not to try and scapegoat China for our failures, and they know this. Why gamble on our goodwill amidst all this rhetoric?
I found a conceptual way to do manage my mental workflow that really does seem to help. I don't really know how to phrase the details, but I started thinking of my brain as an information processing system - in the absence of bugs, throughput depends on managing caches, threads/concurrency, and queues. if you think about your brain that way, you can kind of sense where there are issues with these three things as you think through problems.
So, the people who are flushing the world down the toilet with finance and adtech will finally use their powers for good... if we'd just give them a meager stipend? Ha!

Material isn't the problem. Hasn't been for a long time. Most of us in the west who've been professionally employed for any length of time have enough savings right now to go play gentleman artist/scientist in parts of India, Southeast Asia, or South America, but we don't. I wonder why that is...
If you have a long expression, you can break it into multiple ones by storing some intermediate results in another cell. You can also hide such cells or put them in another sheet.

This might sound like a hack, but being able to see intermediate results makes debugging complex expressions easier too, so in a sense it is working as intended.
Given that the gold price has increased by a factor of 8 in the last 20 years it's hard to see how that could be true. Even if it happens that there's an equivalence between today and 1450, a shoemaker in 2000 would be earning 8 times more.

EDIT: To put it another way, over the last 20 years the Dollar, Euro and Pound have all approximately averaged out to their target 2% inflation rate. Prices in gold terms have averaged to 9% deflation per year. Since 9 > 2, gold is less stable than modern fiat currencies.
Honest question, are we sure he didn't make a difference? Dude usually shows up, does the work with the team, leaves.. only year, two or plus we see the results.
It's tough to come to any conclusion from looking at eBay listings.

Does eBay still let you search closed listings if you're logged in?
>> For example, one can remove a clause and thereby make the program more specific. One can remove a goal and thus make the program more general.

Woa. I'm pretty sure that the subsumption order and the implication order are not common knowledge among Prolog programmers. Have you been reading Plotkin by any chance? :)
You could do all that without involving the world's largest advertising corporation. Use the data you already receive with each request. You know, count how many pages you've served, use a GeoIP database on visitors' IP addresses, parse their user agents, all that kind of stuff.
It happens to me as well. I sometimes think : 'oh I already did this. That was very well thought'. Unfortunately I can't share this feeling with me 6 months ago.

The times when the code is painful to read is when I write scripts that are supposed to be used once and turn out to be reused several times (but not very often) and when the specs were not really well defined at the beginning of the project.

Admittedly I am data scientist not SWE and it is hard to compare the complexity of SQL code to the one of a programming language.
I don't know if I will be more impressed if that is parody or real sites.
Do you want SI units or not?

Changing to gibibytes does very little - the users confused by 1024 do not know about the alternate prefixes.

Furthermore, if you just add the "i" to all measurements, then you have accomplished nothing with regards to SI prefix proliferation. Everything but one dialog in a single OS will still use 1024, and HDD manufacturers will still use 1000.
People use analytics to decide where to focus there efforts. For example, if most of your users are on mobile, invest more in the mobile experience. The unintended consequence of this change is people looking at which browsers are hitting their website, finding that it’s mostly Chrome and therefore testing only with Chrome. This would degrade the experience for Firefox users as subtle breakages start appearing.

Folks advocating for the use of hosted analytics instead of GA are correct ... but that’s not what most people will do. It’s just simpler to add a one line GA tracker to your code and call it a day. And these people will see Firefox usage drop to 0.

We have already seen “this site works best/only on Chrome”, especially on Google products like Inbox. Expect to see more of that as the web becomes a Chromium/Safari duopoly, according to analytics.
Absolutely. My 2017 Audi A4 is a far nicer, higher quality build than the last (similar era) Model S that I was in. And it's not even close.
Then presumably some people would have been disappointed.

So instead they decided to crunch and deliver a buggy game with the result that other people were so disappointed that they didn’t buy it.

I don’t know which is the bigger group, but I wish they would have delayed it.
Disagreeing and punishing are two different things.

One is fundamental to freedom of expression, the other is antithetical.
I think the missing step is likely the many millions dollars it takes to defend yourself in patent court.

Even if you're likely to win, it brings a generic offering below profitability.

Have you ever actually looked at the Schrödinger equation? [1] It's pretty simple. If you've had freshman physics, you can learn enough to derive it in a matter of days or at most weeks. There's not a lot of room in there for the kind of thing you are suggesting.

It's much more plausible that the uncomfortable human-centric thing we need to let go is the idea that our perceptions about macroscopic reality should be indicative of how things actually are.

This seems to deliberately ignore the pretty reasonable argument being made.

If you can't address the argument the other person makes, it seems like the more reasonable thing to do is acknowledge that fact, rather than just ignore their point entirely.
Question - if that's possible, why couldn't a competitor do the same?
It seems completely reasonable to include terms preventing this type of behavior on their service.
Well, you're better off not doing joins at all in ClickHouse, beyond small dimension tables. Don't do joins between two or more big tables at all, is generally the rule in analytics databases; instead, pre-join your data at insert time.

CH supports optimizations for low-cardinality columns, so you can efficiently store things like enums directly as strings, rather than needing a separate table for them.
I recently wrote a Rust PNG decoder mostly for use in no_std contexts, and it was motivated out of wanting to decode emoji for a font rasterizer.

I didn't really put any effort into optimizing it yet, though it does use miniz_oxide and it decompresses the entire image at once instead of per-scanline.

I'm curious if it is at all competitive with the Wuffs decoder, I'm guessing probably not because I haven't put any effort into using SIMD.

But overall the implementation was pretty straightforward, I just read the RFC and wrote it out over a few weeks. One quirk of my library currently is it always returns an RGBA buffer, instead of potentially letting you save memory on a grayscale or RGB image.
"Citation needed": every article mention the EU in "The Sun", "Daily Express", "Daily Mail" multiple times and also "The Telegraph" for the posh version of most of the same crap.

"Media was quite anti-brexit" not really. Unless you really think the GDPR prevents kids from writing letters to Santa Claus
I'm not surprised at all. 3 out of 4 big message apps (Line, WhatsApp and Wechat) don't support full message sync, it's clearly not a showstopper for mass adoption. 99% of the people don't need it and it's hard to implement correctly. Not importing old messages could be a security feature.

Stickers on the other hand are something that does attract many casual users and has no security implications.

Payment features... I think it's a bad idea for many different reasons but it might attract many users if it's not too complex.
Yes, but competition between business can be good for consumers and employees. So not sure if your comment about "so bad for business" is all that clear cut.

And whether or not Amazon creates HQ2 to NYC, does that impact their competitiveness with local NYC businesses? I doubt it.
Exactly, that's how it is. The library has never been a happening spot. The happening kids, if forced to the library by an authority figure, would just spend the time whispering, gossiping, and playing around with their friends.

I bet you were one of those nerds who actually USED the library. :D I was too.
For example you can calculate how many percent of their revenue a company made in a given country and then how much tax they paid there and demand them to pay the difference.
I think that is an interesting way to phrase that question haha. Of course it is hard to verify is climate science is real without becoming a climate scientist, I think most belief in science rests on the question "do you believe that if you would study the field you would agree with the scientific consensus of that field (the climate is changing due to human activity, which is probably bad for the earth's ability to support our current way of living)".
Politicians in Europe expects the market to take care of it. Businesses won't hurt their profit margins unless they have to (because IPv6 does mean additional costs).

We need something that increases consumer demand for IPv6 if we wantbthis to be dealt with now.
Actually a little different. In chinese, the term "tu hao" can be also used with a humorous context, not entirely critical.
Sorry libertarianism may be popular on HN, but it's almost undoubtedly not the solution to our education problems.

I am all for standards, but never once brought up government controlled education or defended it. Please don't attribute an argument to me that I didn't make, which is exactly what the OP did by inferring that I defend liberal education policies.

There are massive problems in our education system, my mom's a teacher and tells me about them almost every time we talk, but they aren't problems that will be solved by the government stepping back and letting the locals take control. In fact, that'd make things much worse. Teachers are barely accountable for teaching and are pretty much glorified baby sitters for the most part (my mom says this). The kids who do well go to charter schools, or have parents who give them homework, or go to tutors, or go to private school. The kids who don't do well or perform below grade-level have single-parent families, probably living in poverty, and for the most part slip through the cracks in the "system."

I think the first step to the problem is stop throwing away money on things that don't work-- STAR, SAT9, etc standardized testing. The only people benefiting from this are the people who make/sell the tests. Teachers end up forming their curriculum around the tests and it becomes their singular goal to meet/exceed expectations which are based around the last years results. So what you lose are art, music, PE, auto-shop, computer lab classes-- anything that isn't specifically tested. So what happens? Kids hate school because all they're doing is memorizing a bunch of stuff that won't help them in life.

I think some steps in the right direction would be:

-make teachers more accountable for their students success and make tenure based on that

-bring back vocational schools or specialized school (people in the 70s who went to these types of schools could get jobs at Lockheed Martin and Boeing building planes)

-quit wasting time on standardized tests
-make school fun -- music, art, photography, PE, computer lab are the classes I remember looking forward to, it keeps you going to school instead of ditching. Possibly even use these classes as an incentive.

-get rid of GATE, it's a self-fulfilling prophesy.

-Teachers should be paid according to how well their students perform/improvements made. This way the best teachers would have an incentive to take on those students struggling instead of the way it currently is where the best teachers teach "honors classes" and have kids with parents who also help teach them while at home or hire tutors.

That's my two-cents and I'll get off my soapbox, but I still think standards are generally a good thing and do more good than harm.
Ad hominems are totally alright in my book, especially since everyone loves doing them to me and then bitching when they're done back.

For example, your post doesn't have a single link giving counter evidence. You'd think you could bring some of that out but so far, in this entire thread, there hasn't been one link with counter evidence. There's been links to our twitter conversation, links to things supporting Tor is crap, links to discussions of Steganography, but so far I can't see 1, not ONE link with counter evidence proving me wrong.

I actually would love some, and was hoping I'd get some since I provided references, but nope. Just bullshit rhetoric and ad hominem from people who claim to hate bullshit rhetoric and ad hominem. So don't go acting like you're all above the drama.

I don't use OpenSSL in software I wrote if I don't have to. :-)
Whoa, that's a pretty fundamental misunderstanding. While oil supply is not infinite, it's unlikely for it to be unaffordable, because before that point, people would have implemented measures to reduce their use, lower demand, and drive down prices.
What were your successes this year?
Went from not exercising at all to walking 10 miles. Wrote a super cool data extraction service.

What did you learn?
Life is short, do something you like.

What do you hope to achieve next year?
The impossible.
Thanks! You guys rock, I love your posts and product.
Yes, and Oculus Rift is now less relevant as well (good timing for selling it to Facebook). Why buy a dedicated heavy wired non-see-throw helmet? To shit yourself when someone is tapping your shoulder?
Back when the rules placing criminal records in public were drafted, these records were usually kept at a courthouse, thus greatly restricting their use to those who actually traveled to the courthouse/archive and manually searched.

These days, everything can be searched online and especially copied and stored everywhere, far after expiration. And this is not a good development at all.
