There are so many economical, livable cities in the West within a 2-4 hour flight of SFO or SJC. Seattle is already too expensive, and I find Phoenix quite unpleasant, but Portland, Eugene (go Ducks!), Corvallis (go Beavs!), Spokane/Pullman (go Cougs!), Boise, Reno are all civilized, attractive, and relatively economical places.
The cones aren't a placebo, they actually alter driver behavior. It's important when challenging an idea not to exaggerate its flaws. No practical number of orange cones will physically protect cyclists in a collision, but the psychological impact of well-designed infrastructure can have substantially better outcomes, which is why some places are much safer for cyclists than others.

That said, not all bike infrastructure is equal. Some of the new "protected" lanes in Seattle, for instance, are quite dangerous and I prefer to remain in general traffic.

You're right that cyclists should ride as if everyone driving a car is trying to kill them. But one effective way to do that, if designed well, is to actually separate car drivers from cyclists. Even an artificial separation can save lives, if it's done right.

One more bone to pick: making cyclists feel safer isn't necessarily dangerous. One of the reasons cycling is unsafe is because so few people do it, and one of the reasons so few do it is because they fear for their safety. There are even people who suggest that helmets are in aggregate counterproductive to bike safety for this reason (and I think they have a point, but I wear a helmet for other obvious reasons). Better perceived safety leading to more cyclists on the road will almost certainly result in better real safety outcomes.
Saying a large company has trouble innovating isn't necessarily a criticism of the executives. Large bureaucracies are cumbersome, certainly more so on average than a smaller company.

Let me offer the analogy of a big, old software project. It is far more difficult to make a major refactor of some 20-year-old, millions-of-lines system than a script you wrote yesterday. That's not saying the old project was incompetent. It could have been very elegant, the best engineering of its day.

Yeah, I don't think anyone can strongly disagree. At the end of the day it's mostly people trying and failing to get a fair shake and give others a fair shake. Along the way we tend to overestimate what a fair shake is for ourselves and those like us and underestimate similarly for "the other". There are some that take advantage of such a system by playing into those biases but by and large I genuinely believe most people are trying to do right.

Things that seem bizzaro from time to time may be the price for living in a plurality.

I specifically didn't reference the psychological effects that are also a huge problem. Those just have to be assumed by reasonable humans. Hostility creates material problems that we can actually analyze. We can form metrics for the utilization of goods and calculate their actual value to the human's that buy them. It's just a lot more complicated. Businesses do these sorts of things for themselves internally. They're not as deterministic as GDP is. The models change slightly over time. The signal gets noisy. GDP is easier to optimize against for this reason. It isn't jumping around when we're standing still. We know when we're actually moving. We don't know where but it's better than noise. We think. Besides, no one has proven that GDP is a terrible metric. That and these other systems are just so complicated... How do you ever know if they're "right"? You win. As in beat the market. Nobody is winning on behalf of the government. They're too busy winning elsewhere.

It's statements like these that put people off.

Making it clear (say, by painting them) would still cost money.
I certainly wouldn't say these are "simple features" in C++. Overload resolution in particular is one of the most complicated parts of the language. Default arguments can get weird since the right hand side of the default, more or less, just gets inlined at the call site; I do recall there were a couple bugs in the last year at work because of C++ default arguments, though I don't remember their details.

It's also fun when you don't realize a particular function has a default argument until you make a function pointer to it and assign/pass it to something that you mistakenly think is compatible. Depending on how nasty your codebase's use of templates and overloaded functions is, this can be a nightmare to debug.
It is reasonable to assume a government actor. Russia has a motive for punishing a traitor just as Western elites have a motive to further their Cold War 2.0 agenda.

Best Ways to Improve Your Credit Score
If you are serious about doing [1] and are willing to throw the hardware resources behind this initiative, I can probably work with you guys to make GitLab, a central point for searching all open source projects that are versioned by Git. I've probably indexed over 100,000 public repos from GitHub as part of testing, and to be honest, one of the biggest problem has always been finding repos worth indexing.

You can learn more about my search technology at https://gitsense.com/blog

However, it's worth noting that GitSense is not optimized for searching across 1000+ repositories at once and to be honest, this is never a good thing in my opinion. When it comes to code searches, I believe it should be curated, where some domain expert can say if you are working on release x, for open source project y, these are the branches/repos you will probably be interested in and so forth.

Until we have artificial intelligence, like we see in movies, nobody is going to produce relevant code search results, by searching tens of thousands of repos. Software development is completely context driven and what mattered for one release, can become completely irrelevant in the next.

What GitSense is optimized for, is searching across logical groupings of code at the branch level. This can be 1000 branches from 1000 repos or 1000 branches from the same repo/forks.

If GitLab is serious about being a central point for all open source code searches and are okay with providing logical searches at the branch level, let me know. You can contact me via my email in my HN profile. And it's probably worth noting, since the GitSense indexing engine/search engine are completely separate from the frontend, it'll be easy enough for GitLab add their own interface.

This assumption is challenged in David Benatar's provocative book "Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence"

https://www.amazon.com/Better-Never-Have-Been-Existence/dp/0...

The thesis (which seems absurd, and most will not accept it), is that coming into existence is an overall harm.

Whether one accepts that or not, human life is demonstrably not /good/ for almost all other life on this planet, since we compete with those resources and. As Elizabeth Kolbert points out, humans are causing the 6th great extinction.

>After all, Go ignores all progress in programming
languages for the last 40 years.

I've seen this meme being spouted so much every
time Go's mentioned it's ridiculous.

Is it a meme when it is true? To support this question, witness the statements of Rob Pike[0] below.

---

Regarding the utility of supporting first-order functions[1]:

I wanted to see how hard it was to implement this sort
of thing in Go, with as nice an API as I could manage.
It wasn't hard.

Having written it a couple of years ago, I haven't had
occasion to use it once. Instead, I just use "for" loops.

You shouldn't use it either.

---

Regarding progress in programming languages[2]:

One thing that is conspicuously absent is of course
a type hierarchy. Allow me to be rude about that for
a minute.

And[2]:

Programmers who come to Go from C++ and Java miss
the idea of programming with types, particularly
inheritance and subclassing and all that. Perhaps
I'm a philistine about types but I've never found
that model particularly expressive.

---

The part about "particularly inheritance and subclassing and all that" is ironically a meme spouted by Go's community so much it is, if you'll pardon my borrowing your description, ridiculous. For the curious, there are many community "Go-isms" explainable by the Pike talk[2].

Even a casual reading of the "list of significant simplifications in Go"[1] (35 in all) is enough to reasonably support the "ignoring all progress" position.

Of course, YMMV.

Yep, terrestrial AIS receivers can only receive messages from ships that are less than ~50 nautical miles off the coast. Further out than that and you need satellite-based AIS data.

Don't mistake the term "quote" here to refer only to quotations of speech; a gif can "quote" things that aren't dialogue. Body language; VFX; visual gags; animation styles. Add the sound back in—but keep the "short" and "looping" qualities†—and you can quote foley effects, "silly noise" gags, and acting tics.

In the same way that e.g. video games are at their best as an art-form when their interactivity is essential to their message, these visual quotations are at their best when they're "quoting" something that can't be reduced to static pictures and text.

I note that—where available—people seem to like using sub-second gif clips of old cartoon characters making very particular expressions, in place of emoji. These are quotations: quotations of body-language "acting" depicted in a TV show. We don't think of them that way because we're not "quoting" with rigour for the purpose of critical analysis, but it's still what's going on.

Although the technological aspect may cease to advance, I think for a lot longer after 3-6 years, things will continue to get cheaper, and this will hide what is happening for consumers for at least a decade.
Well, I agree partly with this, but keep in mind that FinFET is also too expensive for many of the applications you listed. 28nm was actually the last generation for quite a few architectures, especially embedded or otherwise cost-limited ones

That's a good story and an illustration of HN's influence at its best. There are many such stories, which is wonderful. Our job as caretakers is to optimize for curiosity, so we want as many of them as possible. People's visions of what HN should be are not all fully compatible, so going far in one direction would be to choose a local optimum over a global. In some ways the global optimum (or our best approximation thereof) satisfies no one, which is a little weird if you think about it.

I'm pretty sure this isn't true though:

> HN is pivoting slowly towards mainstream general tasteless news

That's one thing we're in a position to prevent and that we put a lot of effort into. Perceptions of how HN used to be in the past are pretty unreliable; there seems to be a strong nostalgia bias in most such reports.

Phoenix has great weather 7-8 months of the year. The summer sucks, no doubt, but the rest of the year is amazing. No natural disasters to worry about, the worst we get is a bit of flash flooding in low lying areas and dust storms.

Why is something like daemon() needed with systemd? Typically you just run your process as if it was in the foreground, and systemd handles the rest. What do you lose?
I see; so when you say things like 'Lisp is many things, syntactically elegant isn't one of them' you are taken seriously, whereas if I say the opposite I am not; and it's because I have tried to reflect over my biases, and quantify them in some sort of objectively evaluable terms.

> Open source software comes "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

As far as I'm aware, most proprietary licenses have the same disclaimer. Have you ever seen Oracle getting sued when their database segfaults and loses data (in a similar way that a contractor would get sued for building a bridge that crashes)? You usually pay for support contracts with big enterprises, which have external guarantees and experts on call. Luckily, free software companies provide the same services without taking the freedom from the users of that software.

Either us vs them, or jealous that others have made a decision they are unwilling to make? It's baffling.
