After reading the responses I don't see yet why the non-transport bits of WebSub can't be done with ActivityStreams and ActivityPub. That said, I haven't put the kind of time into it like the W3C Social Group has, nor am I recognized expert on it, so I'll hold further comment until I can finish and publish to Show HN a related proof-of-concept involving Peer-to-Peer topic based publish/subscribe using ActivityPub, that I've had on the back-burner for a while.
> Most high performance projects use vector and little else.

Right. And then it is actually a lot simpler to simply use pointer + size pairs [1] instead of std::vector. Changing to explicit allocation was the best decision I've made. I now find myself not longing for any C++ features anymore at all.
I haven't needed anything besides a little allocation wrapper [2] and maybe a string-to-hash map since.

[1] Or n pointers + 1 size for parallel arrays, indicating that it's a bad idea to glue pointer + size in the first place.

Fantastic article!

I want to point out that the essence of these systems, Anki and the others, is that you are teaching your brain what you value.

Your brain is an organ, a kind of gland for thought, and it uses a huge amount of energy (in the form of calories and oxygen, your brain uses something like 20%-- one fifth --of all the oxygen you breath) to do its job.

The brain is only going to spend as much energy as it has to for you to survive, because evolution made it that way. It's only going to spend its energy budget on memory of "facts" if it's convinced there's important survival value to do that.

This budget is largely automatic, but you can influence it, and these flash-card systems work by doing that.

The time and attention you put into setting this up and then being able to successfully answer the questions that pop up, exactly mimic the time, attention, and reward of hunting small game.

Think about how a cat studies anything mouse-like, and compare that to the way most students treat studying...

Anki, et. al., set up a scenario where your brain is being trained to regard memory and recall of facts as a fun and easy way to scratch that survival itch.

Your brain can actually remember things instantly and permanently and without conscious effort (in the extreme, pathological case we get phobias) but it won't bother unless it's convinced you care.

Watch Biobots: Snakebot, Batbot and More Fantastical Machines Inspired by Nature
Note that I'm addressing the Snopes conclusion more than the comments of the HN poster, except insofar as he/she used Snopes as a source.

The key elements of the Snopes article are these:

-Victim was crushed by machinery.

-Victim is still alive.

-Victim is not in much pain.

-If the machinery is removed the victim will probably die quickly.

-There's time to have them communicate with loved ones, a priest, whoever.

There are literally videos of this situation on liveleak. It happens with trains, with elevators, with forklifts and freight, and most commonly with car accidents.

The reason you don't remove the person at first is that they'll bleed out. The crushing material is an effective tourniquet so the person just sits there, alive and moving.

By the time that emergency responders get there to address the blood loss crush syndrome is a definite possibility. The person is generally going to faint the moment the equipment is removed because of the sudden loss of blood pressure. If they don't die of blood loss then they may have kidney failure and die on the way to treatment.

Everything about this is shockingly common except bringing the victim's family down to say goodbye or bringing in a priest.

To suggest that this has not happened in any of the hundreds or thousands of crushing cases since the industrial revolution occurred is ludicrous. It used to be that companies provided housing for workers near the factory/trainyard/loading dock. It would often have been the case that the victim's family could get there before an emergency responder.

The sense in which this is a "legend" is that people claim it happened to a friend-of-a-friend or whatever, and it's true that's an urban legend channel, but the actual events are documented except for the dramatic last kiss. I wouldn't even be sure that isn't documented. I just haven't seen it.

Dunno about bloodbourne but demon/dark souls were notable to me in that they didnt require death to learn; they just required patience and care, and failing to do so meant a quick death. Death taught nothing; it just punishes for not learning.

And afaicr, none of the bosses weren't mostly clear from the get-go, with most moves being pretty heavily telegraphed.

Still not easy, mind you, but imo they were never so cruel as to hide their intent, and not provide hints as to what was coming.
You'll find all the colleges have an outreach programme where they send the undergrads around to various schools to encourage the kids to apply.

I'm not sure the dons themselves can do much about it, it seems like they only get to see a small sample of the total pool of applicants. I only met a couple of them when I was applying, and after I got in it didn't look like they had a full view.

As for data, it's not obvious what data would tell you whether they did or didn't try.

4.7 mhz is probably not correct. That was the speed of the original 8088/8086 machines (IBM PC 5150 class, etc.)

You would need at least a 386 to support 32 megs of RAM.
Those were at least 16 mhz.

I think you're making a good point that doesn't deserve the downvotes. There is no need to see vendor lock-in and efforts by companies to create it as anything more sinister than the free market at work. The network effect is a double edged sword. The world switched from Myspace, and it happened pretty fast. Switching has only become easier and easier since then.
And the negative side: eternal damnation in hell (which he valued at -infinity) times a very very small chance, still means it's worth putting in whatever work to be righteous.

I use Ublock origin w/ dynamic blocking (i.e. I decide for each site the domains they can load stuff from), and only enable a handful domains to load only first party JS (or some trustable 3rd party for a couple web sites), so I don't think I need the ad blocker too. Also, browsing YT from the website and watcing from mpv is way more convenient and less resource intensive. But thanks for the info!

One thing that would be super nice, in theory, would be compiling WASM modules on-the-fly from the text format.

In a sense, it would be like a JIT for the Web, and one possibility for bringing existing JIT-based languages to WASM.
Why? It specifically chooses to drop one piece of OO, object inheritance, but it does have functional inheritance. It even has Deref which gives back a form of object inheritance.

It supports polymorphic functions like other OO languages.

While I find functional patterns more useful in Rust, that doesn’t prevent OO design where it’s desirable.
Lately, they have been compromising on quality and focusing on quantity. I don't think the fact that they are producing more movies than the other Hollywood production companies should be seen as a good sign.

This is all subjective but, I do believe that the 10 movies that Disney produce will be far superior than any of the 73 movies that come from Netflix.
Ah true, they're just billed as Amazon Originals in the UK. I think The Expanse is going to be Amazon all the way down from season 4, though.
"Eventually" but to get to that point you have to endure years of getting half the time off that a burger flipper gets in McDonalds UK. Honestly it's a bit humiliating.
Kotlin is fundamentally a nicer Java. Clojure is a Lisp-like language on the JVM. They fulfil very different roles and promote wildly different styles. If you're genuinely happy with either, the other is unlikely to offer what you're looking for.
Nonsense. Its mainly cat pictures and porn. If you're interested in learning how things work, read a lot of books. (non-fiction obviously)

Would recommend to use an external device for Netflix (Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, etc) and just block internet entirely from the TV.
Well, I read about one instance where it happened, and the brakes didn't apply. (Not sure how that could happen other than a mess-up in building the train. You'd just about have to have both angle cocks closed.) Both fragments continued, for miles.

Can't cite a source (I think I read about it on the Altamont Press discussion board). And that's only one instance. And it could have been reported incorrectly. But it appears to be possible for this to happen.
difficulty can be a powerful game mechanic if it's treated carefully.
However, the previous cowritten papers are openly accessible and linked from there.
> he client software being open source is irrelevant if it relies on a single proprietary server.

At least you can make sure it doesn't send information it isn't supposed to send to that server - say, audio when you weren't intending, or screenshots.

It's not good enough for server independence, but it is way better than closed everything.

This is just my situation, but I gave up on Cython when I started moving forward with it (distributed graph algorithms). I found that I had more things to learn. With Nim, it took me half a day (after seeing the language for the first time) to get a basic numerical process going and another few days for distributed data communication involving messaging and postgres/mongo (Nim has a modern JavaScript (ES6) promise/async/await like concurrency model that is powerful and succinct like the language itself)
alright, if you're going to resort to nitpicking and being wilfully insulting then I see there's not much point discussing this further with you.
It seems that visibility into these tech careers is very low amongst lower-income groups. I don't say that to expand your statement past black communities, but rather as a coincidental point--I am a white man and grew up in a fairly poor, overwhelmingly white area, and it was certainly the case there. What's been related to me (and maybe you can speak to this) is that it's similar in lower-income black communities, yeah? It's ingrained because it's ingrained, and it's what people think about because it's what they're shown. (Perhaps the aspirational targets are different--where I grew up it was not NBA players or rappers. Rather, reality-TV stars and the like. But the idea is similar.)

If anything, seeing more and more NBA players (who tend to be extremely savvy businessmen, at the high end) getting into tech as investors--Steph Curry as a founding investor of Slyce, as an example--might bring visibility into that. A few years after the NBA dress code implementation--and there are things to talk about with regards to that, but that's kind of orthogonal--you saw players like Kevin Durant consciously dress "nerdy", with glasses and sweater vests and the like. I thought Wesley Morris wrote a beautiful piece[0] on the topic, and how, reluctantly or not, those NBA players who are themselves aspirational targets are trying to redefine the possibility space for the people watching them. Maybe that'll help.

Beyond just incumbents - this would favor whatever the party favors, since it still let's you pack and crack anti-establishment forces in your primaries. Though I think primaries are a real cause of our polarisation.
That makes sense, yes. If you're allocating blocks of uniform size, a bitmap works just fine.
Of course they do! China has 4x the people. I don't understand these kinds of articles when they dont adjust per capita.

IMO this is the meat of the article:

The U.S. can’t continue to look inward and expect the high
rates of growth we have seen in the tech sector over the
past two decades. Only new, global markets are going to be
the driver of prosperity, and right now, China has its
money where the action is.
Waymo seems to be the only question mark in my mind making me doubt my bet that we're a decade or more away from usable self-driving cars.

If Waymo has truly solved the problem while everybody else is just trying to catch up and/or bluffing, I guess I wouldn't be that surprised.

Edited to add: The reason is that they've apparently ordered 10's of thousands of these cars. Can they really use that many only in good-weather places with perfect roads? It seems unlikely that they are just that stupid to spend that much money without being confident that their plan will work. One last option would be that they intend to put 10's of thousands of them on the road just to exponentially speed up the data collection that they've decided is necessary to truly get the system up to par.
A lot of people watch physical TVs, even if they don't watch "TV". This is about tracking what people are watching on the physical device, no matter the source.

If I watch a Blu-ray or Netflix, my smart TV will still send a fingerprint of that content to their servers for analytics.

As far as not connecting your TV you the Internet: (1) The default setup says you need to, so most people will since they want to watch Netflix. (2) There's so much free wifi around these days I wouldn't be surprised if TVs try to connect to any open wifi for "automatic updates".

> In particular I see no preventing publication, and the rightholder has to actively take part to indicate/identify the matter.

Sorry, that's inaccurate.

The rightholder has to provide the service provider with a list of content and the service provider has to prevent anything on the list from becoming available. How do you propose to do this except by filtering content before publication? As soon as something that is infringing is published, the service provider is on the hook. So either you filter or you're in violation.

As a proposal of a proportional way to do the same without opening the door to active censorship, there could be a content identification system that identifies content to the rightholder on upload, and then allows them to file a takedown request. This solves the problem of automated blocking of misidentified uploads, and leaves room for fair use by the mechanisms of existing takedown claim and counter-claim processes. But that's not what the law requires - it requires preventing availability.

There's an argument to be made that F#'s place in the .NET ecosystem is to be a feature sandbox for C#.

When F# first dropped, I was instantly in love. It was just so much nicer than C#, which was already nice. But, in the intervening years, C# has been adding new features at such a steady clip that it's hard for me to have such strong feelings anymore. Stylistically I like to have algebraic types and pattern matching, but from a practical perspective I think the two languages probably offer about the same level of productivity.
The article talks much about how Kotlin is picked up disproportionally by younger developers. In addition to the obvious Android connection, this might also be because older Java developers are not only more content with Java (self selection: those not locked into Android development would have left Java for good a long before Kotlin came along if they wanted to), but also because many of those open for new languages but still tied to the JVM have already been spoiled and/or burnt by Scala.

Spoiled and burnt? I see a lot of potential overlap where one would have learnt enough Scala to perceive Kotlin as a step back, but not enough to permanently leave Java behind. From that perspective, Kotlin looks just like a pragmatic compromise. Immensely useful, perhaps, but not exciting at all.
That's never how it works, though. Instead of offering a cheaper TV, they will instead offer a TV priced at what they can sell it for, and make money on the data sale as well. If they WERE to increase the price in exchange for not selling the data, someone would likely ask them why they weren't selling the data anyway, along with the price increase, if sales weren't negatively affected. To not do so would be leaving the money on the table, theoretically. The safest thing to do would be to not have the data at all, avoiding the temptation to sell.
Unfortunately, better sets all include smart features. Just don't setup network connectivity and you'll be fine. Doing so also blocks the annoying new(er) "feature" many manufacturers have introduced -- injecting ads into the UI.

As far as I know, Sony is the only high end mfg that doesn't put ads in their current TV offerings.
The reset password button should send an email, there just isn't currently a modal giving any indication that it did anything. The front end is currently in a feature freeze until we finish the React re-write, but then we'll fix this.

The term paedophile means an adult (of any gender) who is sexually attracted to prepubescent children of any gender. Lolicon (when applied to a person) means an adult (again, of any gender) who is sexually attracted specifically to prepubescent girls (not boys). Hence the terms are not equivalent.

A term used for the latter is shotacon, but it is not as common a word as the above.
They’re hard to look up but you need to check “commercial” series. I bought a 55” 4k LG dumb tv a year ago and I’m quite happy with it. Simple remote, no hassle. The downsides are that it only has two HDMI inputs and afaik no antenna for over-the-air channels. Also it doesn’t do HDR and I don’t know if they have a “commercial series” dumb-tv that does.

I’ll link you to the model when I’m back at my desktop.
"We need to understand, too, that our capacity for storing to-be-learned information or procedures is essentially unlimited. In fact, storing information in human memory appears to create capacity—that is, opportunities for additional linkages and storage—rather than use it up." (page 420)

This is fairly well settled science. If you have conflicting data then by all means, share, but you can't just write off decades of _real_ work in the field based upon your own musings and expect to be taken seriously.
You can't compare small/micro-benchmarks that call into WebAssembly and then get the result with a larger full-stack application where parts are in JS and parts in WASM - both are highly interlinked. This is much more reflective of real products. We couldn't find a benchmark that shows such end-to-end usage, so we built one.
Coming from Java - learning Kotlin is borderline trivial. I think having the huge audience of Java (+Android) (+IntelliJ) developers to draw from was a huge advantage for Kotlin.
