Economic liberalism is an economic system organized on individual lines, which means that the greatest possible number of economic decisions are made by individuals or households rather than by collective institutions or organizations.

It includes a spectrum of different economic policies, such as freedom of movement, but it is always based on strong support for a market economy and private property in the means of production. Although economic liberalism can also be supportive of government regulation to a certain degree, it tends to oppose government intervention in the free market when it inhibits free trade and open competition.

Yeah, I assume the value of the sand is on par with at least a decade or two of the lease value, for the land owners. It still strikes me as a poor decision for the city, though. The renaissance festival employs hundreds of locals every summer, has for decades, would for decades. It also supports a caste of roaming professional performers who live there for a few months every year, spending money in town. That's a lot of economic activity! Instead, it'll be exchanged for money to go to a probably out-of-town mining operation, and the land will be permanently worthless after that - just a big hole in the ground, filling up with water.

Nim doesn't have a JVM backend, but it does C, C++, Objective-C, JavaScript, LLVM (not yet ready for prime time, but almost there), iOS, Android, and more.

Lisps have been doing this since forever (including the now defunct LinJ for Java which compiled into code that was very often mistaken for hand-written Java).

Hell, Emscripten takes everything LLVMable and gives it that ability.

Well, if you just weren't considering Python and Ruby, then aren't they counter-examples to your point? They're terser than Perl in that regard; if that's a major reason people moved away from Perl, then why did so many of them move to those languages?

Powers of two satisfy Benford's law. In order for powers of an integer k to not satisfy Benford's law, k would have to be a rational power of 10; in fact it would have to be an integer power of 10 because if 10^(m/n) is rational then it's an integer.

But a quick calculation makes it look like powers of two don't satisfy Benford's law, For example the first power of 2 which begins with 7 is 2^46, and the first power of 2 which begins with 9 is 2^53. This takes so long, roughly speaking, because 2^10 = 1024 is so close to a power of ten.
I believe it, because 1,000 days is a long time. The baseline rate for people being homeless for so long is already pretty low.

Is it? (I honestly have no idea about Lisp.) It isn't just about being able to do stuff at compile time: In Perl's case, as I understand it, you can't determine if a string of text is a valid (in the sense of generating an AST!) Perl program without executing it. This precludes things like reliable syntax highlighting.

Languages can include meta-programming/macro facilities without effecting whether or not the parser can do its job; I am fairly certain that Rust's macros are an example of this. Python, as a more dynamic language, also includes metaprogramming facilities (metaclasses, decorators) but IIRC, can still be parsed without needing to simulate a Turing machine.
> the US has lower population density than most of Europe, but Canada doesn't

Population maps of the US [1] and Canada [2] highlight the problem with this argument, though. Canada has low total density, but it's overwhelmingly concentrated around the southern border of the country. The US concentrates population along three coastlines and the Great Lakes, and has more population to support in the low-concentration areas. (For example, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas exist.)

So southern Canada has better-than-US infrastructure at higher-than-US population density, while much of northern Canada has exceedingly limited infrastructure. Outside of Alaska, there's no territory in the US comparably written-off to much of Nunavut and the Northwest Territories.

An example: US highways are nationwide [3], while Canadian highways simply stop [4]. And despite the look of that projection, that's more than a quarter of Canada which is further from a highway than any point in the continental US.

Muchnik covers a lot of ground, so is pretty dense. Cooper & Torczon's book is more approachable, though it covers less ground. In some cases, Cooper & Torczon choose which algorithms to present because they're easier to understand. (E.g., they don't cover partitioning-based value numbering, but rather a simpler hash-based technique.)
It's not unusual either, afaik rapidly increasing x in x.y.z was very unfashionable before initial Chrome release.

True, the Apple A-series chips are large, but the A10 was built on TSMC's 16nm process, not 14nm. Even TSMC's 10nm process (used for the A11) is barely smaller than Intel's 14nm, these numbers contain a lot of marketing as you surely know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14_nanometer#Comparison_of_pro... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_nanometer#10_nm_process_nod...

The A11 is only 88mm², with 8MB of cache, compared to the Skylake quad-core i7 CPUs with 122mm² and the same amount of cache (using Intel's 14nm process).

The Snapdragon 820 (Samsung 14nm process) also clocked in at 144mm² with only 1.5 MB of cache. Apple's chips aren't the only large ARM chips.

Ironically the last ‘huge breach’ was that there is not enough granularity, you could only share everything or nothing. Here you can share one item explicitly and it’s a huge breach again.
When you install an extension in chrome it's by default set to be disabled in incognito mode (supposedly since some extensions don't respect privacy). From the extensions page you can easily set UO, or any other extensions for that matter, to remain enabled in incognito mode windows.

Last time I checked chrome does not by itself offer any tracking protection while in incognito mode (supposedly since this would make it easier to detect when a user is in incognito mode). So you probably want UO enabled for that.
Switched our entire native app stack to a redux backend (Swift and Kotlin), never been happier. Sure there is more code in the end, but the decoupling and simplicity to use is just too good.
Especially on iOS when you know how complex it is to maintain a controller hierarchy with a (now dead) dependency chain.
I think chrome does a similar thing as is it possible to track through certain extensions so they default to off. If you know that extension isn’t tracking then you should be able to turn it back on.
I think the word "big" above is often overlooked when discussing Perl (5). For a scripting language, there are an incredibly huge number of core language features. Even compared to something like Ruby or a lisp-like language with a true templating/macro system. It's easily up there with c++ in terms of "number of (sometimes crazy) things you can do with the core language/distribution out of the box".

And that's not even a statement about how many ways there are to the same/similar things things; these features all are intended to facilitate different stuff. I think it is the biggest language I've ever programmed in, fighting for top spot with C++.

I think core-language-feature counts are something it's better to have in moderation. JavaScript of ~2010 was far too small a language, so it had crazy library/cargo-cult utility bloat. Lisp is somewhat similar: it's elegance in its small size and simplicity, but that results in a lot of beginners (re)writing a lot of unnecessary code. Perl and C++ have too many core-language features; everything else is somewhere in the middle.

...and all that is without even getting into some of the insane language extensions you can find in third-party libraries. There's an on-after-module-load hook someone wrote that's implemented in terms of a syntax extension to the language, that isn't quite an operator or a statement. There's a coroutine library which is written mostly inside to the fatal-killsignal core dump handler I think (or something similar). And the list goes on.

And meanwhile, we have Equifax losing tons of valuable data due to a breach caused largely by how slowly they deploy, and how difficult it is for them to get rid of antiquated technology.

After many years in big enterprise, I've learned something important - the appearance of risk is more important than the existence of risk. Continuous delivery looks "risky". Slow, deliberate release cycles on a quarterly or even yearly basis look "safe", because "testing".

In practice, those quarterly deployments have far too many changes embedded in them all at once. Worse, teams race to get their features in under the deadline, knowing it can be months before they'll get another chance, leading to careless coding and inadequate testing. So, based on both my experience and a little beyond-common-sense logic, slow release cycles are more risky than fast ones.

As I see it, Facebook and Google actually do one better than a social contract. They have a real contract with every individual user in the form of the EULA. I think you could even say they have a social contract too, that being the public's general understanding of what Facebook/Google offer and what they give in return. The argument for societal consent to Google/Facebook seems very easy compared to societal consent to government authority, even in a democracy. But I don't put much stock in social contracts as an ethical argument anyway. I tend to agree with Lysander Spooner's arguments, e.g. on the Constitution: "No one's consent could be presumed against him, without his actual consent being given, any more than in the case of any other contract to pay money, or render service."

Concurrent Kubectl Commands with ckube
I find Python's list comprehensions unusable because they're backwards from how I'd expect. Thankfully in Scala the syntax is almost exactly the same; you write

for {
a <- list1
b <- list2
} { do something}

for an imperative for loop, and

for {
a <- whatever1
b <- whatever2
} yield { ... }

for the general comprehension. In Python you have to put the equivalent of the yield right at the start, which is just so different from how everything else in the language works.

A bit of background: I've done thousands of hours of driving in rolloff trucks. They're semi's that load debris containers onto rails mounted over the chassis, haul the load to the transfer station/landfill, and deliver containers to job sites. Now I write software for the industry that I used to labor in.

I completely sympathize with the concerns in the article, but I have faith that Tesla will be able to overcome the challenges and some of them are perhaps not looking at the trucking industry "of the future" here's a good example:

The concern about a roll down window isn't that big of a deal. Doing rolloff meant crossing a scale multiple times per day where you'd exchange paperwork with the scale house attendant. I just completed a project that will keep drivers in the cab while at a landfill/transfer station if they have a tablet and the site is connected with our scale software. All of the interaction is done on a tablet while the truck is on the scale, the driver never leaves their seat or rolls down a window. If we're doing stuff like this for garbage, surely other trucking is going to be be digitizing these types of interactions and there are some nice big screens in the truck to make it easy.

The biggest concern that I share is the passing issue with a center seat, but that should be easily solved with a camera that shows a forward view when a turn signal is engaged. Two big screens mean you'd get a forward and all the blind spot views necessary to make a safe pass.

Side note: If Tesla wants to make a version for hauling trash, they could have an enormous impact on local emissions.

Ask HN: Hyperthreading and tracendental functions
I do scientific computing and raw number crunching is very important (i.e. number of FPU units)

I've always wondered if there was any use of hyperthreading for me. I understand it as just a way to avoid pipeline stalls and that there are no extra execution units (i.e. no extra FADD or the like). So I always thought it useless for my use.

But I was hacking around today reveled that my early 2015 MBP was using 380 % of the CPU. The code is simple C using OpenMP to test for all floats that cos(x)^2 + sin(x)^2 == 1 (Inspired by an early HN post - there are only 4 billion floats).

I speculate that the reason I get more than 200% CPU usage is because tracendental functions are complicated enough and involve different FPU instructions. Therefore hyper-threading can actually boost my speed by having two threads calculating different parts of the cos/sin function.

Is this correct? Could I get faster code by unrolling my loops (shouldn't the compiler do that?).

Is there a good tutorial/reference with code examples where HT shines?
The deployment of ARM in the data center has been more words/vapor than reality for years. And if you try one of Scaleway’s baremetal ARM offerings, you realize that using Intel CPUs is similar to using an SSD. Once you use it, it’s difficult to use something far slower. I’m not holding my breath on ARM in the Server, and I think we will see ARM desktops become widespread much sooner than ARM servers.

All that being said, I really want ARM servers to happen. One because a lifetime of x86 monoculture makes me curious about other platforms, and two because like AMD when they’re pushing hard, it’ll drive Intel out of their slumber. Intel’s major advancements come when they’re at least challenged if not threatened. Otherwise they do the equivalent of the old +25Mhz SKUs.

Still if I could have one wish, and it had to be CPU related, I would prefer to see an open ISA like RISC-V delivered by multiple vendors competing become widespread.

Something but not much. It works on JVM, talk to all Java libs and tooling is taken care by Intellij. It is low or little effort from Google to support.
