You have a program. It has input and output, and is either running or done. With abstraction, you can have a view of the program that is just a bidirectional data pipe. You give it information, you request information back. At some point you're done talking to it and drop the reference. The entire idea of 'halting' is gone.
or.. we look at the number of people who have been killed in terrorist attacks, and compare it to _everything_else_. Then spend the money on the more important stuff first.
Well, at least it is progress from no fines at all or 1000$ fines.

Still, should be 10 or 100 times more.
I'm sorry to hear about your father, but that doesn't change the facts of NZ's situation.

The good news is that the chance of an outbreak occurring that would somehow affect your father is unbelievably low. We've had no such outbreak since the initial one last March. Since then the systems we have put in place to prevent, detect and eliminate outbreaks have (all together) worked, and they have only gotten better, especially in the last couple of months as almost all our border/MIQ workers are now fully vaccinated. Australia's have too.
On the other hand, if we consider the hotels as just a "user", why would they have access to full CC details, including security code.

As someone booking a hotel on the site, I would expect booking.com to take responsibility for keeping my payment details secure (or, if they want to operate like a marketplace, make it clear that they're not taking responsibility, but in that case it looses a lot of value toe as an end user)
maybe this website isn't even legit and just about harvesting phone numbers. I mean - who knows?
One big benefit of Kallithea is that it supports Mercurial repositories.
The first paragraph,

> Over the last few years, the software development community’s love affair with the popular open-source relational database has reached a bit of a fever pitch. This Hacker News thread covering a piece titled “PostgreSQL is the worlds’ best database”, busting at the seams with fawning sycophants lavishing unconditional praise, is a perfect example of this phenomenon.

is exactly the kind of gratuitous over the top statement that makes me immediately lose respect for the author.

And the skimming the rest of the article, most the the "points" are just complaints about the tradeoffs made in various design decisions like MVCC, heap tables with indexes on the side, etc. The author is basically complaining "it's not MySQL".

Don't waste your time with this article.
I'm pretty sure that AWS' service quotas exist more as a guardrail to prevent customers from accidentally spinning up 1000 instances instead of 10, which would not only leave you with an eye-watering bill, but affect resource availability for other customers.

They're usually quite happy to increate the quote if you contact support.
> Your phone number has not been found in the leak. This is good, but you should be worried anyway.

I, too, am wary of Facebook but to other people, without reasoning provided, this sounds like FUD. Maybe at least link to an article explaining why they should be concerned anyway.
Not many new drivers have new cars. I don't know how many of them are leasing cars. I've never heard any complaints on any driver groups about being forced to drive to pay off the car.
Where are all those investors coming from?!? Oh right...

>The housing market would look very different if everybody had to live in their property instead of engaging in transparently parasitic activity like speculation/landlording.

Sarcasm on. Yes, I think we should ban renting out properties. Everyone should live in their own property. Sarcasm off.
The feature I'm talking about: "Related problems View" is from last year but I think it is a strong innovation as it dramatically reduce the feedback loop of refactoring
https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2020/06/intellij-idea-2020-2...
It's hard for startups everywhere to hire developers. SF, Boston, London, Cambridge, etc. There's a huge global shortage of developers.

I don't think people realize how fast the global demand for software developers is growing. In the UK it's now the 16th most common full-time occupation for men. The UK simply isn't producing developers anywhere fast enough to keep up with growth. I doubt any other country can either.
Yeah, and that's the main reason I'd support making the obstruction of major roads into a very mild ticketable offense -- the slightly lesser other reasons being that some unfortunate people might lose their job as a result of the traffic jam or that the jam increases the chances of a serious accident.

Weighing the needs of the protesters to be heard vs. the financial needs of lower income workers is a big grey area that I'm totally unresolved on, but obstructing emergency vehicles is pretty cut-and-dried (for me).
If people are not equipped to deal with opposing viewpoints and critical thought, then perhaps the social organs of education have failed.

Yes, arguably because certain political elements have made it their business to make damned sure those organs fail.

When educated people consistently vote for one party over the other, it's absurd to expect the losing party to support improvements to education. You'd have to be, well, poorly educated to think that.

And we all know who loves the poorly educated...
It's maintained, but by one dev in their spare time as near as I can tell. The parent libui project is in the midst of a refactoring.

We're considering using it for some simple client UI stuff and if we do we plan to make a donation.

This would take a lot of work to be powerful enough for a complex rich UI, but the world needs a basic cross platform UI lib for doing simple interfaces. It's absurd for things like file sync clients and VPN clients to spin up f'ing Electron to provide a UI, but they often do.
You're more likely to luck into the behaviour you want with x86 than a more relaxed memory model. I think the Alpha takes the pip for the latter, but I was only something like 3 months old when the IP was sold to Intel let alone in widespread use, so I could be wrong.
> We are slowly squeezing a significant segment of the population out of public debate, and they are powerless to stop it. Is it surprising that they are furious about it, and explode in unpredictable ways? Wouldn't you do the same?

Everyone is being subjected to the same standards here. Fundamentally Parler was banned because they wouldn't enforce their own policies.

From Apple's post:

> Your app enables the display of user-generated content but does not have sufficient precautions in place to effectively manage objectionable content present in your app.

All Parler needs to do is not allow people to plot violence on their platform. This is against Parler's policies, it's against Apple's App Store policies, the actual conversations are often against the law.

It isn't as if Apple is banning Parler because people are debating the second amendment. They are literally being banned for allowing people to openly plots against multiple government entities and individuals.
Yes, sorry, I phrased that badly. I meant N501 and Y501 when I said both variants here.
Oh, of course news should be reported. But a week straight of panic mongering headlines? That does people a disservice and spreads fear for $. Big Tech and corporate media have a profit incentive in spreading terror.
The left used to defend free speech in the public square. Such as when neo-nazis marched in Skokie where many Jewish Holocaust survivors lived: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Party_of_Am...

There's nothing wrong with the opinion of being against free speech, it's just quite sad how far we've fallen. Only allowing the speech you agree with is not free speech.
Ha! had no idea it was a Michael Moore movie. Plenty of people have seen Canadian Bacon. It used to play on TV all the time too(early 00s?). I've fairly sure most of my generation knows it... (as a kid in the 90s)
No it is not obvious. There are entirely different governing laws (Outer Space Treaty vs whatever land or sea treaty applied to T-3, which wasn't clear).

Had this happened in space, with the details otherwise the same, it would be 100% clear which jurisdiction applied: that of the nation which was registered under the OST as responsible for the hab/trailer in which the murder occurred.

Had the murder happened outside of a hab, in EVA suits for example, it would be a bit more complicated. But it is our general understanding that in those circumstances the Law of the High Seas would apply. The specific caveat of the article that was discussed (is a long-lived arctic iceberg a island or international waters?) probably wouldn't apply. All of space is generally assumed to be international waters, for the moment.

I realize this might be wrong and based on not reading enough history about it, but I’ve always understood that the Holocaust was not well documented until after the war.

Obviously many people fleeing Germany and the occupied countries during that period, knew something bad was happening, but overall, it’s my understanding that before and during the war, the rest of the world really wasn’t aware, or at least not aware about how bad it was.

It was the invasion of other countries that was cause to fight Germany. It was much less of a humanitarian act, though after the war it’s easy to paint it as one.
If there's no support for Uighurs, who leaked the documents?

This is how triple scripts are designed[1] to work.

One proof-of-concept just so happens to be a minimalist static site generator called triickl[2]. You can drop it onto (virtually) any machine, double click, and point it at a source directory for your site—subject to the expectation that it follows a certain jekyll-like structure—and then you're off to the races. I'm using it as the build step for the triplescripts.org home page itself and my personal site.

Matters what you're using the language for more than which language is being used I would imagine.

Scala users make more than .NET users, but that isn't because Scala is more in-demand, it's because that's the language of choice for a lot of Machine Learning / Big Data folks using spark who are highly sought after. I would bet that average Scala and Java compensation is very different, with Scala being much higher, due to the Java average compensations getting watered down by salaries of Java developers that just make CRUD applications but at the top of the scale they're likely similar and they both map back to Spark developers that are Machine Learning / Data Scientist / Big Data engineers.

Same with SQL- in general it isn't highly compensated because "everyone" knows/uses SQL (rarely well, though)- however there are also tons of Data Engineers whose core competency is SQL and they make great money.
As a new grad who recently completed a job search, I'm really feeling the "randomness" aspect now. There were so many things that could have changed along the way, with a drastic impact on my future. Some of them were within my control and some weren't, but overall it feels like a job search is akin to spinning the wheel of fortune.

>One can only imagine what he could have done with a modern computer.

The historical anecdote my thesis advisor was telling about origins of his (i mean founded by him) branch of the science was along the lines "Americans had computers and could get good numerical solutions, while we didn't have computers and thus were forced to work on analytical solution". Well, that analytical solution he produced happened to be a great insight into the problem space and still continues to be the key tool for the research in that area almost 60 years later.
Sure, the policeman becomes a surveillance tool of sorts, but I'll trade the minuscule amount of time I'd ever be in view of such a camera for a guarantee that 100% of every officer's activity is recorded.
> Nowhere in the Constitution does it say the government can't hamfistedly accuse you of a crime. All it says is that they have to charge you or let you go in 24 hours, give you a trial, and punish you in a consistent way. They did that here; they asked some questions and they let him go.

They also broke into his apartment while doing that, and detained him for the better part of a day with no real probable cause other than "this machine said something".
It would be awesome if they next look at Lit Motors or a similar safe 1-2 person pod. Lit Motors + Über + Self-driving cars is total win. Once you get rid of the driver all you really need are 1-2 seats for most black car service and taxi rides
They obviously want to give it away for your info. Even fake info =P
This is an angel investment. Google is bolstering Uber, not competing directly.
It has negative effects, sure, but they're diffuse, not acute, like a nuclear meltdown is.

So killing or having adverse health effects on far more people is OK, as long as the effects are diffuse? I'm not following the logic here. The number of people affected by Fukushima, even on the worst-case estimates, is less than the number of people affected in a year by the various aspects of coal plants that posters here have mentioned.
It probably was born as a practical academic experiment. It will be/has been used as an appealing alternative to cortex microcontrollers that are embedded in SoCs, storage devices, and add-in cards. But there's real commercial work trying to scale it up to bigger workloads too. I think these products are pretty early stage.

I think Google is reluctant to push for Android support for a RISC-V applications processor. The nature of the different ISA extensions would mean that they would need to bet on the set of extensions that should be embraced (or a bunch of work to do some 'fat' binaries - or maybe 'obese' if there's a lot of supported combos).

Regardless of Android's fate, yes, you can buy a RISC-V board that will boot linux. That's a pretty good bellwether for 'real applications'. But the performance likely pales in comparison with modern ARM or x86_64 alternatives.

EDIT: see SiFive's "HiFive Unmatched" [1] for an example - DDR4, gigabit ethernet, 8 lanes of PCIe g3. It wouldn't surprise me if that's one of the best performing generally available RISC-V systems.

Unpopular opinion, but I would like HN mods to take action against comments like this.

Every time that this topic comes up, where the discussion is about the right and wrong of censorship, about finding a moral balance for safety and justice and expression, trolls like these jump in and give the "well it's not illegal so suck it" argument. It's tiresome, it's in bad faith, and it incites an emotional response from the reader.
A lot of ridiculously expensive VPN routers out there but none are simple enough for grandma to use and watch her Netflix show.

This is a VPN router that connect all devices to a single VPN. They use surfshark, nordVPN, expressVPN, all top-tier vpn providers.

The UI is super minimalistic.
The hardware is based on tp-link and Linksys leaders in routers manufacturing.
I want to understand you correctly. Do you believe that but for one or two Democratic Senators, all of these things would transpire?
coming to the thread 5 hours after its posting, and seeing this, the first sensible take (comment #140 or so), in a shade of grey is thoroughly disheartening.

we need more of this on-the-ground reasonableness to overtake the tribal bullshit we're all wading in up to our eyeballs. it's not simply the media (though they in general are complicit), or just politicians (also complicit), or social tech (super-cash-grabbing complicit), or "the people" (most aren't playing that game, but the 'influentials' certainly are). it's power, consolidating and exerting its will, to subjugate people by any means necessary.

Best? 'Best' means many things to many people. If you think 'Best' means ownership of the code and server, install WordPress. If 'best' means quicker Google Rankings, some suggest Blogger as the choice. If you want easy-to-use and quick-to-deploy, others might suggest Posterous.

I've used and demoed them all. Your mileage may vary.

Exactly.

An easy way to think about solving the exactly-once problem, on top of an at-least-once message layer, is to use the at-least-once layer to write idempotently (eg, HTTP PUT) into a sequence of numbered messages.

There is no possibility that the receiver will execute message 18 before message 17. Each PUT retries until an acknowledgment is received, and the sender maintains a sliding window of sequence numbers it's trying to write.

All the Two Generals problem tells you, in this situation, is that the sender does not know whether the receiver got the last message. It's an important issue and I agree with the general sentiment of the OP, but perhaps it can be overstated.
Blue Apron maybe?

This is a great coup for GNUStep, back in 2006 when Greg took over as maintainer he posted a blog entry about future plans. Lots of people on slashdot pretty much mocked him and the project.

ie: "by Psychotria (953670) ...I think this dude is a complete moron..."

Looks like Greg proved them wrong. As they say: "Living well (or rather: doing well in this case) is the best revenge."
Kazinator's comment struck me as a lucid definition. APIs and ADTs let the thing's behavior define the thing, and subtyping and substitutability emerge from thinking about generic operators defined on more than one kind of datum.

My bet is even Smalltalk programmers don't think of eggs as knowing how to scramble themselves; but eggs do have an API, a behavior, that makes them distinct from other kinds of objects and at the same time shares characteristics with other objects, such as weight and dimensions.

I can assemble a list of eggs, elephants, and cars, and write "take the sum of the weights of all the objects". Although these objects are of different kind, they share a common characteristic that would be exploited naturally by any language user. Exploiting multiple "views of a thing" is a feature of English ("natural language") and to my mind is a feature of any successful "generic programming" computer language.

Processes communicating by asynchronous message passing is a better simulation of the familiar world; but that vision is not realized by Smalltalk, wherein messages are passed synchronously. What we want from language is the ability to write powerful sentences and have them mean something to the machine -- as long as the computer and human agree on the meaning. The better part of this power comes from a sophisticated treatment of type and generic operators.
Very nice work. Interesting what can be done with this.

One question though, does anyone have any idea what the copyright for this would be? If you happen to use X dictionary (one for each implemented language for example, or even maybe as a selectable source), would say, the Oxford Dictionary could sue because you are using their data? AFAIK, facts are not copyrightable, are they? where would this stand?
I wasn’t talking about your Einstein portion. Your whole comment was cynical.

If you don’t want to discuss it, that’s fine. But it’s not up to everyone else.

I think joining a YC startup to disrupt the food industry is a pretty interesting thing. Most people spend their lives not disrupting anything at all. It doesn’t make them worse people, but it would be nice if they’d not snipe at people who do those things.
