Seriously, who cares?

First, the idiosyncrasies of the rich and powerful are way less important than the amount of space given to them in the press, even for this extremely short article. Very few of these "Jack doesn't use a computer" and "Tim Cook wakes up at 4 o'clock" are actually useful, aside from the voyeur aspect. For all we know Jack has some pretty brutal RSI and Siri is the only way that he can actually type, or whatever.

It's pointless, is what I'm saying.

And with more snark: it's not like he's running all those companies well. Twitter is a garbage fire that's probably propped up by bots that Twitter is ignoring for their ad revenue. Everyone I know resents what Twitter does to their mental health and wants to spend less time on it and talking about it, myself certainly included.

I think the core lesson of this article isn't whether the author's right or I'm right (below), but rather that a lack of rigor and specificity should set off alarm bells in our head and evoke the questions "how does he know that?" and "what does that really mean?"

About the subject matter:

My understanding is that, in general, software's winner-take-all economics has joined forces with globalization, robotics, and machine learning to usher in a historically unprecedented era of extremely high competitive pressure. As a result, a growing population of tens of millions of Americans aren't that competitive in the economy, which is Really Bad.

The author says UBI "showers the cash down on the people so they can continue to spend. As a result, more and more capital accumulates at the top. And with that capital comes more power to dictate the terms governing human existence. Meanwhile, UBI also obviates the need for people to consider true alternatives to living lives as passive consumers."

To me, this is not a rigorous or convincing argument that UBI will exacerbate the challenges of our modern economy. Or that UBI will have the effects he claims. Or that those effects are well-defined and make sense at all.
Wow, you cherry-picked parts of that out and left out the part where they admit their science was wrong and say there is no way to prove/disprove. Re-read the last paragraph of that 2005 criticism section to see the authors admitting it was bad.
Everything old is new again, and the Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the third age by some, an Age yet to come, an age long past, a virtual machine specification was created in an attempt to achieve the goal of write-once, run everywhere code. The specification was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.

They recently open sourced a component of Minecraft which was less than 1% of the total source code.

Wintel was successful because it was affordable. The alternatives (e.g. our lovely UNIX) were very expensive, fractured, and lacked a good GUI (the fact IRIX was known for its user-friendly GUI says a lot).

That Wintel dominance is coming to an end for a myriad of reasons (the desktop is far less relevant these days because its 'finished' and the innovation lies in other fields such as mobile). Microsoft had market adoption in mobile with Windows Mobile; but it lost that marketshare and its successors (Windows Phone or whatever) didn't catch on. So Microsoft ends up using Android as their target development platform, they end up cloud (Office 365, Azure) and made Xbox cross-platform. Now Microsoft needs goodwill due to what I mentioned above; they hired a bunch of Linux developers, open sourced a bunch of stuff.

It is OK to applaud the actions of your (former) opponent when you agree with these actions as long as you also still hold them accountable for the actions you don't agree with.

If anyone else saw the headline and thought "wow I wonder how much it went down", the answer is 3%.

For reference, Netflix is down 8%. Amazon is down 6%. Microsoft is down 5%. Google and Apple are down 4%.
After re-reading your comment above, I'm actually confused. You think you should never store a big-endian int? That is ridiculous. Some architectures are big-endian. You should not be using custom bitswapping as part of application code, because you cannot know the endianness of your architecture.

The ntoh* functions are the right approach, and your claim is not only strong, it's wrong. The ntoh* functions exist to transform network byte-order to host byte-order. Depending on your architecture endianness, their functionality will change.
I need the concrete before the abstract just so my mind knows that what I’m seeing is not BS. Because in finance, 95% of the math is BS formulas that have no connection to reality.

The register hint is a bit of a semi-unrelated sidetrack, which you would only ever use in a really hot location when proven necessary by profiling + inspection of the generated code, and the compiler is more often than not smarter than you anyway so it's rarely necessary. It's not relevant to GPs point about regular locals being stored on the stack. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_syntax#Storage_class_specifi... for a better overview.
The mishandling part comes from Grab's misguided plan to make the traumatized sexual harassment victim with the sexual harasser. A commenter even said

"It’s like you are trying to form a public opinion on this. Just report it to the police to be investigated. Don’t make it look like the victim doesn’t want to fix the problem.”

This is also not the first time Grab's driver has sexually harassed their passengers. From kissing, sexually testing their passengers, and more.
I think the point is that if you're juggling integers open you up to the huge correctness messes from before, even if theoretically you've gotten rid of your memory mess.

Granted, you could `Option`-up all your operations, but the dynamic GC languages (or even C++) will let you operate on stuff "correctly", so long as your implementation is right.

You can go `unsafe` and implement correct stuff and still be better than C++. I really feel like reference IDs aren't a great way to solve something like a doubly-linked list. Reference IDs make you lose almost all guarantees of correctness, unsafe + a good API will at least give you a fighting chance.

There are problems (like entity system stuff) where reference IDs are just the way to go, though
Exactly! Corporations should be free to do pretty much anything to increase value (except for a few obvious things like causing environmental damage), but also they will need to be taxed heavily, and those taxes should be spread out via basic income to everyone.

This needs to be done in a global scale, otherwise those companies will just tax optimize all the income away.

It's straightforwards knowing when deals exist when you're actually allowed to invest in them. Then you can just get to know your neighbors and they will be able to raise money from you.

More importantly, these regulations mainly impact poor communities. If you are a potential business owner in a poor community, you are forced to secure funding from people outside your community, even if you could probably find enough investors within it, who you already know, who could contribute a bit.

Thus, imagine a kid growing up in a poor minority community. When they grow up and want to start a business, will they be able to exploit relationships with the older people they already know? No, because securities law limits the number of such investors they can take on to 35, and requires that these 35 be intimately familiar with the business. Instead, this minority child will have to request funding from rich people who may be culturally slightly different than they are and who they do not know.

People with job anxiety right now typically aren't investing in robot manufacturers or buying stocks at all. If they're not doing it now, why will they do it in 10 years or 50 years?
Sure you can.

If my index 2 now contains the contents of lets say index 5, due to array rearrangement after deletion of the element at 2, whatever happens with data[idx].is_data_valid() is not what the developer would be expecting.
Is there data to support that idea though? Or is it just your gut feeling based on popular opinion?

As shocking as Churchill's apparent regimen of barbiturates and amphetamines might seem, aside from the transition for barbiturates to benzos (which the article mentions), that's not too different from some of the more common psychiatric medications prescribed today. Sure, there's more of a formalized mental health process, where you have to be diagnosed with "anxiety" or "ADD", but that's largely because we now have, perhaps, a more systemic understanding of what conditions can be effectively treated this way. To name another well-known user of prescription stimulants, Paul Erdos seems like a perfect example of someone with adult ADD decades before adult ADD was recognized as a real condition.

This is interesting. What I like about it is that it tries to remove any criteria unrelated to a student's outcomes. Too often we see esoteric ranking methodologies that, unfortunately, not many people bother to look at very closely.

I'm the founder of PolarisList (https://www.polarislist.com), a high school ranking based on the number of students sent to Harvard, Princeton, and MIT.

This prompted us to take a stab at generating state rankings based on our own dataset, and came up with the following list. We calculated this by looking at the number of students in a state who matriculated to the aforementioned colleges from public high schools divided by the estimated 2017 population:

1	Massachusetts
2	New Jersey
3	Connecticut
4	New York
5	Vermont
6	Maryland
7	Maine
8	New Hampshire
9	California
10	Virginia
11	Alaska
12	Rhode Island
13	Illinois
14	Delaware
15	Pennsylvania
16	Colorado
17	Minnesota
18	Washington
19	Michigan
20	Oregon
21	Florida
22	Georgia
23	Nebraska
24	North Dakota
25	South Dakota
26	Texas
27	Montana
28	Arizona
29	Wisconsin
30	Missouri
31	Idaho
32	West Virginia
33	Indiana
34	North Carolina
35	New Mexico
36	Ohio
37	Kansas
38	Iowa
39	Hawaii
40	Nevada
41	Kentucky
42	Wyoming
43	Oklahoma
44	Utah
45	Tennessee
46	Arkansas
47	South Carolina
48	Washington DC
49	Louisiana
50	Mississippi
51	Alabama

A couple thing stand out to me:
- All 3 rankings have Massachusetts and New Jersey within the top 10
- All 3 rankings have Oklahoma and Louisiana in the bottom 10
- Our numbers differ from the other datasets the most on:
- New York (#4 on our ranking, #30 on Liebowitz/Kelly, #31 on US News)
- California (#9 on our ranking, #34 on Liebowitz/Kelly, #44 on US News)
- Alaska (#11 on our ranking, #42 on Liebowitz/Kelly, #46 on US News)

Technically yes, but practically no.

It'd be a very inefficient and slow way to "clean the air. The materials still need to be invested with whatever energy (e.g. glucose) is going to be consumed by the process, and once it finishes you're stuck with some hardened inert lumps which may not be cheaply recycle-able.

Pound of cure, ounce of prevention -- the cheapest and easiest way to clean the air is top stop putting schmutz in it.

That said, if you're really interested in using biotech to pull carbon out of the air, probably the best approach involves reusing existing plant or algae species. and simply harvesting them to bury in such a way that they won't be uncovered for a couple hundred million years.

After all, they're far more robust, feature-packed, and battle-tested than any grey-goo we can make for ourselves in the near future.
CEOing is about making business decisions, not inventing and creating stuff, so why would you need a computer.
Downvoted for writing a generally ill-considered response.

Regarding whether or not Jack Dorsey is running these companies well: Square is up a nice 5x over the last five years. That's a $32b market cap now. It's a big company. Their credit card readers are _everywhere_.

Twitter is more controversial, sure, but it's certainly been improved over the last two years. I actually quite like using it.
≥ I'm not of the opinion that this automation will create an equal number of jobs for the ones they replace.

Increasing productivity is kind of the point with automation. So unless demand drastically increases, it seems highly unlikely.
I was really impressed with Dai and Daiwa in the alley behind.
Hmm… that would work, but at the cost of requiring the data to be immutable or use interior mutability. It also removes the size advantage of storing indices over pointers, unless you only make SmartRefs temporarily rather than storing them in your data structures.
As a thought experiment, we release 40 billion tons of co2 per year. An average skyscraper weights around 250,000 tons. So that would be the equivalent of 160,000 skyscrapers worth of this stuff. Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers current at 317. So it would be the equivalent of building the skyscrapers for a city that is 500 x the size of Hong Kong every year.

Not that you'd have to build skyscrapers with the material, but just to put this idea in some sort of perspective.
Former securities lawyer Louis Cammarosano claimed back in July 2017 that 1. token sales are a threat to Silicon Valley and Wall Street, 2. that the SEC doesn't want to bring an enforcement action because they fear that a court will disagree with their interpretation:

I guess time will tell.
I think the comparison is quite apt (and may be deliberate). Automatic memory management for locals in C/C++ uses the scope of a variable to determine when reclamation should occur. Likewise, ownership-based automatic memory management in Rust also simply leverages scope to determine when memory should be freed (though you can pass the memory into other scopes, but at the end of the day it's all just lexical scoping). It's RAII for memory.

I'm increasingly only using my phone for everything, with a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard for coding or typing. My PC is quickly becoming just a gaming console and will probably soon be put into a car sim style setup then my phone will be my only computer for everything else.

Nothing fancy phone wise, S7 Edge. It can take USB sticks, wireless keyboard and mouse, and almost everything I do is just in Firefox or Dropbox.
Similar experience. I did the blind tests as well, and surprisingly often chose 320 kbps mp3s that I thought were FLACs because they sounded "crisper" (I mostly listen to electronic club tunes). I did and also witnessed other DJs play out tracks I know for sure were 192kbps mp3s on huge sound systems (sadly no other version ever exported), the place went 100% wild because it's all about the music in the end...that said, would be great to ditch mp3s for OPUS in streaming and have catalogues in FLAC/AIFF.

Edit: a LOT if not most of new music at this point contains samples ripped from Youtube. Something to consider also.

Ask HN: Who needs a free mobile app dev service?
I am relatively new in developing mobile apps and I want to improve my skills by accepting mobile app development requests for free.

* Will only accept development for Android because I don't own a Mac.
Computers are pretty useful for communicating.
Whenever someone has brought up the topic, someone has piped up with "but pg said", linking to that post (or alluding to it) and conveniently never mentioning that even he realised it was a mistake a couple of years later
The main principle here is to reuse as less infra as possible: different dns provider, different hosting, different cert authority, etc. So, debug.github.com is probably worse, than github-debug.com (github.debug should be fine though, and even slightly better than github-debug.com)
The discussion culture here is disgusting.

I get downvotes for FACTS? Seriously people?
I'm very skeptical that one can transition a team to another language and have everything go perfectly.

To summarize:

* learning curve successfully flattened to a week by... reading two books.

* painlessly interacting with a large C++ code base

* no team member dislikes the change, instead they're feeling energized and this has even brought back some from near-burnout.

* Rust is extremely productive

I can accept that the tooling's good, community's nice and type system's a pleasure to use, sure. But people don't change so easily and such drastic changes in large code bases don't go right by default.

If all of what you said above were true, every C++ codebase would have been switched yesterday.
People have run companies without computers for centuries!
> I just want society to let scientists actually figure out all the details before we use that knowledge to drive policy

Science doesn't work like that. Our understandings constantly change, and most of the time that change is an improvement. But there never is an end point where scientists have figured out all the details.

Also, policy needs to be implemented continuously. Policy makers use (or disregard) the current state of knowledge, whatever that state may be.
For "consuming" yes, not for "producing"
> then C has a GC (stack)

IIUC the C11 standards etc actually just say "automatic storage" and stacks are never specifically mentioned.
Feels like they may be taking a leaf out of the Russo-Skripal handbook here, and making barely any effort to cover their tracks as a show of brazeness to other potential defectors/dissidents.

I've been looking at this, too, after the recent surge in HN Prolog headlines.

You're probably looking for Datalog. The Wikipedia topic has a list of systems that support it:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalog

Also, I found that AllegroGraph is a production graph database that supports Prolog queries... I don't think you load it with Prolog syntax, though--probably RDF triples instead.
Guix provides build system abstractions like `gnu-build-system` for traditional build systems, but you can easily override or extend the build phases. You can run scripts with `(invoke "my-script.sh")`.

The bigger problem, in my opinion, is that packages that use custom build systems often have strange ideas about what is desirable in a build system. Sometimes they prefer to download things during the build (that's not permitted in Guix) or they will make assumptions about the layout of directories or the discovery of dependencies.

Patching away all of these invalid assumptions can be annoying, but it is possible as is demonstrated in many package definitions in the `(gnu packages bioinformatics)` module.
That's pretty much the same nowadays, you look & reply to emails, you browse the web, you open company documents, you have the same company chat as on a pc... From a company point of view it's essentially the same thing, that's why you have company phones.
Your point about global failure modes is well-taken. Even still, one could reasonably expect inter-region networking not to be so difficult.

As for the instances I tested, they were m4 and r4. To get full 10GE out of either, I needed to use m4.10xl and r4.8xl, both roughly around $900 per month.

By comparison an n1-standard-8 is about $60/mo and the n1-highcpu-8 is $50/mo. I've tested the former and got something like 15.8 or 15.9gbps using iperf.

IMHO, that's pretty significant.
Anyone in the field that can say as to when this is actually feasible? It says that they have investigated production by the ton but went back to improving its properties. Are we talking 10 years? 20? 50? I just want a ballpark estimate.
