I took “no better than” to mean approximately equal. I feel otherwise the author would have added “and possibly worse than”. I think your assumption however is probably more correct.

Well, his perspective is well known in all Go threads on HN and this is not only my opinion (look here [1]). He is repeating the same things[2] again[3] and again[4] and again. About M:N in Go, about why Go is worse because it doesn't have generational GC but when asked if he reached to Go team about that there is no response. If you look at his comments from last month you will see how much downplaying of Go is there + other languages. It seems that he only praise one language (ahem) in his comments.

I covered this in an essay about security of various models of source sharing. It came down to talent and methods of developers and reviewers being what determines trustworthiness of a specific project/product. Although my stuff is text (old school), roryokane on Lobste.rs kindly made a better-formated, HTML version here:

https://gist.github.com/roryokane/d02addfa9329c579f15daef5b4...

EDIT: This also answers another commenter's question about when I'd trust closed-source software. Essentially if I trust the developer and/or reviewer. Then, I have to know I'm using the same thing. So, they have to publish signed hashes and so on of either the binary or source.
And thus validating my decision just this morning to sell call options on the remaining TSLA shares I own (bar 50, because you can't sell half a contract). This in no way eliminates my desire for Tesla as a company to succeed. But from the point of view of an investor, their CEO needs to STFU and go build cars.
In case anyone is curious about those radio experiments, OP is talking about Basicode:

They also invented a kind of internal DSL within BASIC to get around inconsistencies in various BASIC dialects used by different platforms at the time.

I guess it depends on your definition of "small projects". I agree with the article that if you are interested in getting something out there for people to use and see what kind of interest you get, then adding Kubernetes to the mix doesn't really get you there faster. If anything, I think it would slow you down, unless we are talking about a very trivial app.

I was responding more to the comments I had been reading, not the premise of the article.
If this were true Apple likely couldn't say it was, so I'd take this with a big grain of salt.

They have a lot to lose if the story is true; look at what happened to Super Micro today.

Bloomberg, on the other hand, has no incentive to lie. At worst they were misinformed by verified sources.
Apparently there is a C library for green (Go-like) threads called "libdill" or "libmill".
> * Are you going to admit to your customers and bosses that your products were faulty and you knew?

If you can't answer that with a yes, maybe you don't have the backbone to work in anything critical.

When you discover a fault in something, particularly a fault that might hurt someone, you have a moral obligation to speak up. To do otherwise is cowardice.

Failure to speak up when we see shit is how stuff like the VW emissions gate happen, and also why security professionals can make a career out of ferreting out your mistakes and engaging in responsible disclosure.

All this tells me is that Made in the USA is more valuable than I once believed.

Well, the top two comments say the study is fundamentally flawed and they make decent arguments for their case, rather than just spewing upvote-bait HN conventional wisdom...
Well, if you read the article, it traces back the op-eds to the people submitting them, who work for a PR firm, which has Boeing highlighted as one of their three big case studies on their website.

Hmm, I mentioned in another comment that I'm not even sure how much I "believe" this premise, but for the sake of discussion let's assume I do as I find it fun to think about from time to time.

Your post sounds very condescending, but I'm interested in what sounds like a completely different take on the topic than I've seen before. I don't know anything about semiotics and had to look up what the term meant before posting. What would be your abbreviated and distilled thesis for how semiotics relates to this topic and to your first paragraph? Phrase differently, if I were to study semiotics, what part of it in particular would be the most relevant to changing my answer/ideas related to the question "am I living in a simulation"?

Seems like a bit of an oversight that they are including third party tracking scripts like googletagmanager.com in the same context as the javascript doing encryption. If you need user tracking, at least put the tracking scripts in an iframe sandbox or something that can't accidentally grab the keys from the URL fragment and send them off to google.

Also they do call out that URL fragments get stored in browser history which is a big risk, but they should also mention that many browsers automatically "sync" history across devices (so keys will get sent to a cloud if you aren't using incognito/private browsing).
Yeah, the d2x-xl project has been around for a super long time.
I've heard this argument a lot, but I'm not sure it stands up to scrutiny. Since this is HN, I'll put my counterargument in the context of computer code complexity.

How much effort is required to build an entirely new 'modern' operating system from scratch?

How much effort can be saved in that effort of producing obscene amount of complexity if you start with a small idea that is fairly generic and is able to be incrementally grown?

The Boltzmann brains specifically relies on an argument of statistical mechanics, which is really a statement about the average energy costs. But brain neurons forming spontaneously to the hallucination-in-isolation kind require extreme amounts of hidden Joule fees in creating that structure compared to a slow ramp up of complexity lowering the next set of energy barrier costs at an increasing rate.

This just scratches the surface of the idea of _catalysts_, that there are huge barriers between highly structured states arising from the chaotic, and even if the absolute energy cost is smaller it's still very possible to be more unlikely to spontaneous form if the physical dynamics of the universe itself have caveats as to how the successive tiers of compounding catalysts are constrained in ability to form, rate of formation, and bottlenecking supply of input reagants and the expedient utilization of outputs.
I think this approach is doomed to fail because Learning is already hard. Increasing the cognitive load at the very beginning of the learning process seems like a non-starter to me.
Restricting firearms because people might hurt themselves and restricting them because they might hurt others are two very different things, and it is important to point out that the number include voluntary self harm.

Also, the method of suicide people use tends to be highly cultural, even with gender differences. In France, the methods of suicide primarily used by men - guns and hanging - tends to be much more deadly than the ones used by women - medication overdose, causing women to have a higher rate of suicide but men representing the majority of deaths.

> Goroutines are threads. So the idea the "Go has eliminated the distinction between synchronous and asynchronous code" is only vacuously true, because in Go, everything is synchronous.

Abstractly, I agree, but practically the distinction is important. In Go you don't have to use a frustrating async interface to get decent performance. You don't have to manage a threadpool or other tricks. You pretty much get the threadlike interface you want to use without the difficulty.
I like Go because everything is super simple. From dependency management to unit testing to performance profiling to its build/deploy story, everything just works. I don't need to learn a new configuration language and project configuration format and complex dependency management system just to build my project. I don't need to pick a unit test framework and test runner. I don't need to figure out how to wire said framework / test runner into my build tooling. I don't need to figure out how to ship my app along with its dependencies or make sure that my deployment target has the right version of a VM installed. I don't even need to worry about learning a new IDE. I could keep going, but it's things like this that matter to me even more than the language itself.
It's not CNP doesn't use the pin it uses the CVV2, you also can't use the chip and pin or track 2 swipe data for a CNP transaction.

I think the GP is confused on how a POS works, POS isn't a POI most of them don't touch the credit card they just talk to the reader, most readers today are P2PE closed loop solutions so the only thing the POS does is sends to the reader charge the next card $X the reader will then reply if the transaction went through or not and that's it.

The reader itself will talk to the acquiring bank or the payment provider in a point to point encrypted closed loop and the merchant would never see any credit card details.
I’m pretty sure that’s against the terms of the license.
Me too. I spend more time in hospitals than the average person my age due to a hereditary condition.

I try very hard to stay well and do precisely what I'm told by medical professionals.

Many people that I've met in the hospital do not. They're often older and should know better, but they'll hear "No foods or liquids", and sneak in beef jerky before surgery anyway.

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Universal healthcare will need to cover all of these people who don't listen to medical advice, and will return because of it.

From a private insurance or single payer insurance perspective there may not be a difference between the two.

All I know is that I must have good medical insurance at all times, otherwise I will be screwed in so many ways.

Back pain and the placebo effect: ‘I’ll keep taking the pills’
I'm not the GP, but here's my perspective learning programming in a 3-year technical high school program in Brazil (I had a little bit of exposure before, with Windows batch files and shell scripts).

We started with a language called Portugol or "structured Portuguese" which is something like a formalized pseudo-code language and was used to teach the basic concepts of structured programming: variables, control flow, subroutines.

We spent about three months working with Portugol exclusively, never actually running it on a computer, but just for understanding programming logic. After that we moved to C and eventually "C with classes" C++. Comments were still written in Portuguese.

The transition to C was fairly easy in my experience, because the actual English vocabulary you need to understand to program in C is very small, and because the concepts themselves were taught in Portuguese with Portugol, so you only had to do dictionary translation, really.

You may not know it, but there are studies backing this up. Whether you consider it a scientific truth or not is barely relevant. What is interesting to know is that not all disfluencies are created equal: blurring text and adding visual noise don't help, apparently because they don't engage the right part of the visual pathway.

Why not?
You have to pay them as much as it would cost to manufacture in the Western country doing the out-sourcing...so unless the cost of these extra quality checks outweighs the cost of on-shoring you might as well measure angular momentum.

You might do this if you didn't have the computational power to simulate the thing you wanted in real time. Games are hard locked to require the computation to be performed within the frame time of the gameplay, but much more detailed and complex computations are done all the time to pregenerate an animated movie or video that can then be "played" in real time. The generation of the content often takes many times as long as the content actually is, but the purpose of doing it this way is to generate more detail per frame than you would be able to compute in the time between each frame when played at the ideal speed.
Open Source crypto is no worse than closed source crypto. This is fantastic news and a strong validation of the open source development model for security systems.

Heh, okay that's a fair and valid counterpoint, but entertain the hypothetical-I'm genuinely curious how that could play out if someone took a prospective employer to court following a polygraph that disqualifies them from further interviews.

I was worried about exactly this when I was thinking about using it for company training materials. Apparently the benefit for dyslexics (if you believe this study) is even greater than for non-dyslexics.
People are already looking to replace RSA because it will be broken in a post-quantum world. But my understanding is that and perceived pattern in where primes are won't help in finding factors of a number. Largely speaking we already know where primes are. Determining if a number is prime is in P, and identifying numbers as prime or not prime doesn't help break RSA.

If you've found a pattern, make sure you document clearly that you're the one who found it and then announce it as quickly as as widely as you can to let people verify that you're right, or find the flaws in your reasoning.

Alternatively, get someone you trust to verify it first, and then make it widely known.

What's more, if by some chance it did help break RSA, it's likely the three (and four) letter agencies already know it and are exploiting it already. By announcing it widely you would then be helping to push a world away from a system that's already broken without people knowing it.
The better question is how did we stop manufacturing.
Back when I was trying to do a startup full-time, I avoided Kubernetes because of the steep learning curve. Now that I'm back to being a regular employee, I've learned Kubernetes out of necessity, and it's great. So if I go back to working on the startup, I'll do it on Kubernetes, because it will save me time and ops grief. But it will save time and grief because I already know it now.

Ansible + Docker play well together and are both a weekend effort to learn and use on side-project. Both work fine for me on cheap dedicated machine. Ansible is a good documentation of how the bare metal host is configured including Docker setup and compose like config[0]. Docker handles apps setup, isolation and local networking nicely.

Then playing with Kubernetes on private project would have only Résumé-value for me.

Let's be clear: the one-OS-thread-per-connection model does yield decent performance. We used to call async I/O "solving the C10K problem"—i.e. serving 10,000 clients simultaneously.

I'm speaking from experience here, having tried to implement M:N and abandoning it in favor of 1:1, which yielded better performance. Can M:N yield better performance than 1:1? Sure, in some circumstances. But I think that, ideally, we should be striving for 1:1 everywhere.
Just a quick calc. 130 is on the 97 percentile. So if you know 300 people then you know about 9 people with IQs >= 130. Probably more assume you tend to interact with smarter than average people.

>> I would be extremely surprised if you could pass of work of such low quality in journals of comparable impact factor in [math, computer science, physics and economics].

What about medicine, genetics and neuroscience? These are the fields investigated by John Ioannidis, whom you've probably heard of [1]. He's the guy that published that paper titled "Why most published research findings are false" [2]. From the abstract of which, I quote:

Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias.

Note that that's pretty much the claim of the hoax- that the hoaxed fields are dominated by bias and the majority of their research claims are absurd (so, false, I guess).

If that's true of medicine and genetics, it's true of most of the hard sciences, and no doubt, also CS and economics. So there is no good reason to single out gender studies or feminist philosophy for this kind of fault, or in any case, the hoaxers would have made a much more meaningful contribution if they had hoaxed a maths or physics journal, rather than the ones they did.

Btw- in maths, a recent HN article discussed the Mochizuki proof of the ABC conjecture, that his fellow maths experts consider to be very badly mistaken (if I got that right) [3].

You sound angry and resentful. And seem to assume 'what you like' = 'high quality'. It sounds like you're just having a nice whine, don't really want solutions. But anyway:

1. Well, you could make your own version that selects out the kind of stories you think are quality and quietly censors the rest. I might prefer that version too.

2. Or you could try changing the guidelines: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
