It enjoyed previous periods of stability, between bubbles, as well.

The profile of ownership hasn't changed that much in the last year, even though there was a ton of price movement a year ago. There just hasn't been much in the way of the news that drives the feeding frenzy.
Japan...has pretty high moral standards

Well.... that depends on your morals, Japanese pop culture still sexualizes young girls... and the trains have dedicated "female cars" so woman can avoid groping in the regular cars. Women are distinctly in a lower class than men.

Japan is a very clean and safe country, but I wouldn't hold it up as a beacon of morality.
The benefit of Poetry is that it is a single tool for apps and libs, like npm.
Ah, sorry; I didn't realize. I think a lot of people here don't know what it's like.
The reason I'm so interested in Direct Air Capture is:

- It's primarily a tech solution which allows for scale. If you build one Machine you can build a million. It won't actually require very much space, it need access to cheap energy and abilities to store/sequester the CO2 captured.

- Technology have the benefit that can be optimized and optimized and optimized to the point where the cost is not very high. The less tech the less changes for optimization

- There is a big risk many countries won't meet their responsibility. Getting wealthy democracies onboard is hard enough. We need a scalable way to solve this that doesn't require everyone to help because they prob won't after all

- Any negative emission solution that requires a large land-mass will create other problems (dealing with land-owners etc).

Yup, if you're interested in a recent example look at Mellanox vs Starboard capital. We need to break out of the vice-grip Wall Street has on public companies. The Long Term Stock Exchange is one such initiative but I think co-operatives are another way that should be popularized further. Problem is, it becomes really hard to capitalize without Wall Street money.
I enjoyed the discussion of how to accelerate computation of 'a×b' using just a single lookup table of 'x^2/4'. So far beyond what I could understand when the Commodore 64 was current technology [i.e., my teens], and so archaic and unnecessary in the present day.

Pretty excited by these features. Great work!

I still need to go find my "aha!" moment for contexts. I get them but I haven't developed that intimacy where I know when I should use them.

Also I'm finding it trickier to know which method for component definition to reach for. I love that we have freedom of choice. But I struggle to pick between classes (pure and not), class methods (perhaps to clean up big render() methods or define class-relevant subcomponents), and functional components (memoized or not). I had someone getting into React asking me about it and I didn't have a really solid answer. I think I just confused them. This is probably just a tutorial/documentation/examples kind of problem.
While it wouldn’t be my first go to, I have to wonder if complete 100% deregulation would be better than what we have today.
I am not an American and I obviously have no right to meddle in your affairs. But only today Trump tweeted out Obama being against immigration and then from their the rabbit hole went deeper and there was a video of gasp, bernie sanders calling open borders a "Koch brother" conspiracy.

I'm beginning to wonder if anyone high up in America really has any integrity? I fail to see anyone who is consistent in their views and actions.

Google cooperating with Chinese censors knowing fully well how China persecutes Muslims (and that is something I do get emotional over), and Schmidt talking about bifurcation of internet soundbyte to make a case when its clear that the so called bifurcation is because of language.

It just all seems so staged at this point. And I don't mean to insult my America brothers here but I just want to know who actually is on the "right" side?

Part of it is because consumers are completely detached from the price aspect of medical care. Getting an estimate, shopping around? Forget it. It’s a black box.

And, frankly, part of it is because hospitals can’t refuse care to anyone and if they can’t pay, someone else has to.
Anecdata, but I spent about $30K in attorney and court fees during my divorce, and I got a reduced hourly rate and retainer because I was buddies with a guy that clerked for him.

It definitely didn't feel like a bargain, but so much of what you are paying for is the knowledge of what needs to be filled, when, maintaining the case docket, serving discovery, filing motions, etc. and all of these can be incredibly puzzling for someone not familiar with proceedings of the court.
While acknowledging that your claims about his claims may well be 100% correct, I find it hard to believe that Bryan Cantrill would be "intentionally duplicitous". People, even very smart people, can occasionally be very wrong (btw, I'm not making a claim either way here), and that doesn't mean there is an agenda/intent that is malicious in nature.

> Your reasoning is kind of like saying we only need a 6502 and a large bank of ram because, hey, that is turing equivalent, and a modern x86 with the same amount of ram is turing equivalent, so it should be complete.

Yes, this is literally the case, I didn't say it would be easy or that it should be done. Maybe I should have been more clear, but it was just a silly joke, lighten up.

Also, analogging perl and c/c++ style languages to the modern x86 and 6502 is a bit hyperbolic.

If I'm understanding your point correctly, you're saying that dynamic interpretation (via code loading or `eval`) is an important perl feature you want to retain. In a world in which someone was crazy enough to write a perl->rust transpiler, they could just not support eval for v0.1, and figure out how they want to deal with it in the future. One option is to compile in a runtime + interpreter that could be used if the code being built uses eval.

Any other difficulties you can forsee? or areas where there's a 6502-x86 style feature disparity?
Let's see, Republicans are for denying healthcare to people who can't afford it (a free market). Democrats are for ensuring access to healthcare for everyone, including those who can't afford it (using taxes, so everyone who can pay pays and the rich cover the poor).

It's pretty fucking cut and dry at this point. We can dispense with the philosophical grandstanding.

Yes but that’s not really news. I think the article’s elucidation is that Cryptocurrency, like money, is comprised of humans and thus has all the same baggage (as opposed to being a non-human solution that avoids issues of trust or governance).

> I really don't understand the west's fascination with these codes and statements. Why not just do your work and avoid drama?

And you will never understand it if you look at "the west" as a single organism. Its millions of people with different opinions. They don't have to be consistent with each other.

CoCs exist to promote desired (usually understood as "professional") communication and collaboration standards in open source projects. People who want to bring their political or religious agenda into those CoCs are indeed largely undesired even in "the west", that's why this particular CoC riled up so much attention.

> Why not just do your work and avoid drama?

I'd love that, and I'm doing that. But I'm not a "turn the other cheek" kind of person, and I'll call out bullshit when I see it. This here is bullshit.

> If Joseph Stalin or bin Laden wrote a great patch, I'd want it. We'd all be better for it.

That theoretical programmer-Bin-Laden would never contribute a patch to a project with SQLite's new CoC because it is incompatible with his faith. You said we would be better off if he did, so by your own logic such a religious CoC is detrimental to us, which is why it is a problem.

> It doesn't have to be the SQLite mailing list. It is not a sensible place to have these other types of ideological battles.

Indeed, it is not a sensible place because SQLite itself is not a sensible place for religion. But its author made it a place for religion, with very predictable consequences.

> Here in the third world life is hard.

> I find perhaps the greatest "white privilege" [...], is having the luxury of debating CoCs instead of supporting yourself and your family.

That's perhaps a bit of an overstatement, and definitely a false dichotomy. Moreover, here you are enjoying the same white privilege in the third world. A bit hypocritical to accuse others of something you yourself are engaging in, don't you think?
> Did nature defeat nurture when I wasn't looking?

Yes, some people are convinced nature trumps nurture:

Such people are why we can't have adult conversations without an exhaustive, preambulatory ritual re-establishing baseline assumptions. And even then people (of all stripes) will willfully misconstrue you, especially if you don't pepper your assertions with limiting and contextualizing language.
Thanks for the thoughtful post. I do have a question, that maybe you can answer?

> The languages are all turing-compatible anyway, so it's not about what can be done, it's about what approaches does the language make easy and promote.

Turing completeness is kinda besides the point. We probably wouldn't be talking about it on HN if it wasn't. :)

I guess what I'm wondering is does Rust encourage simpler but possibly slower data structures, or are there some complex data structures which are simpler to ensure safety than other simpler ones?

In other words, does Rust encourage simplicity at the cost of speed?

> JITs can accelerate slow languages, at a stiff RAM penalty, but they still remain noticeably slower than faster languages.

The Julia language would like a word.

It compiles to native machine code via LLVM, which is the same backend that a lot of statically typed languages use, and bar it's very first run, it can run blindingly fast: I've been using it instead of Python at work for Data Science things and it's been great.
Your dignity? Americans may think that anything goes if you're broke, but in other countries (Japan for example) suicide is an acceptable way to save yourself and your family and your legacy from complete ruination.
klib could do with a bit more documentation for what the abbpreviated argument and function names do.
Apart from that, I just have praise for this. It's succinct, performance-oriented and comparatively portable. From what I reversed for the purpose of grasping the effect of parameters, I like the interface/API, but the scope over which I am speaking is pretty much limited to basic kbtree, due to the lack of documentation.
Thanks for the very interesting references and discussion. GPUs are hard, huh? AFAIK, this sort of validation isn't necessary for NICs. (Question: why is parsing necessary to ensure security, instead of say relying on the IO-MMU?)

This is basically the reason I have Kaiser and have stuck with them for over a decade. The quality of service is shaky sometimes, and there is doctor turnover, and sometimes I have to travel relatively far to see a specialist - but if a KP physician refers me for something, I get scheduled to see someone, then I get it done, and I pay a reasonable copay that I know about immediately. I've never had to haggle with insurance or been surprised with fees later, even for relatively complex surgeries.
I've got apps where I am passing props down a few levels (perhaps three components deep). What I don't completely understand if Context is a _better_ solution for what I am doing or if it is just another way to accomplish the same thing.

Are you saying that the most reviled, despised, and shamed group in America "picks fights" against the juggernaut of believers? The mere act of stating we're a non-believer is considered militant. Attending a gathering of other non-believers is considered aggressive and obnoxious. Why would that be?

Treat others with respect? Do atheists get any respect from the religious? From our own government? Is it respectful to get religion (theistic or not) and god shoved down my throat everywhere I turn?
I hear you. I usually use Redux and I find myself `connect`ing a lot more things than I used to. So far I haven't found any seriously painful reasons to do so. Like each tab of my phone app is connected. Each major "concept" in my app is connected. Generally everything above connected components are purely layout/app navigation and it seems to work. I'm betting Dan would suggest it's not necessarily a bad idea and might be fine.

I suppose context is a way of doing that. But I'm just don't grok it yet. I should experiment a lot more.
It's the pervasive requirement of a dynamically typed language, not the JIT per say.
This is awesome, and (since it looks like he came up with the setup) I declare Tim Wheeler personally to be awesome.

The thing kind of reminds me of the setup that Robert Sedgewick used for his algorithms textbooks. They've got code snippets, plus a ridiculous number of diagrams that visualize the algorithms step by step on toy inputs. They're an incredible aid to understanding, and nobody would possibly have the patience to draw all those. The book even has extra-wide margins to hold them all!

Somewhere in the book (the preface?) he explains how the hell he drew all of those, and it's a real story. He wrote the code snippets as full self-contained programs that `printf()` some algorithm visualization data as they go along. Then he used some literate programming tool to chop out the inessential parts for the book -- but he runs the programs also, somewhere in his makefile, and gets them to spit out their big list of numbers. He then converts this to a diagram using a widely-known command-line tool called "cat": he wrote a bunch of diagram-drawing programs in PostScript, and they'll have the necessary data waiting on the stack if he just appends them to the output of the code snippets.

Amazon realized that they kept getting a black eye because of their wages so of course they pivoted. Now some workers are probably worse off. I blame the media for only caring about sensationalist headlines.
1) a car that truly gets fantastic gas mileage is small and aerodynamic to the point it loses many practical features of a traditional car

2) If the packaging results in greater spoilage, reduces stimulated demand, or is more expensive to produce than cheap plastic

3) more time to do things, less ability to transport equipment and goods

4) you're being moronic at this point

Perl was considered as the defacto scripting language in Windows until they settled on PowerShell.
The difference is that I can add braces in the middle of multiple lines, just need to get my changes to match up, and then I can tell it to reformat the changed section/the whole file.
For block indenting, I have to select each block I want to operate on before issuing the block indent command.
Braces let me skip the selecting, requiring the same cursor movement but allowing batch insertion of selection begin/end markers, in a sense.
There are two distinct areas of online advertising: performance marketing, and brand advertising. I'm a performance marketer. I make a profit only when ads result in conversions - usually sales or signups for trial offers, but in some cases we do lead generation campaigns for clients as well. We spend high 5/low 6 figures per month, mostly on Facebook ads, with a monthly ROAS (return on ad spend) that beats Berkshire Hathaway's annual returns. The idea that online advertising cannot work is absurd.

The schemes mentioned in articles like this are almost exclusively targeted at brand marketers. My guess is the problem lies in the way that large brands incentivize the people running their campaigns, because the technology exists to knock out the vast majority of this type of fraud. Companies like Coke hire ad firms that send them reports about impressions, and they are thus incentivized to not pay attention to traffic quality, and just maximize impressions. That has to be the problem, because just my internal traffic quality tools that I have written would have shutdown ad delivery on the sites sending such obviously bad traffic within a few clicks from each referrer - and I don't claim to have written the most sophisticated filter out there. There are many ways to do reality checks on traffic, on a per-referrer basis, and cut out much of this stuff. Webview traffic (the kind being taken advantage of here) is among the easiest to detect.

As to your question about measuring ROAS it's simple for performance marketers. Take your ad spend and compare it to revenue. I'm not sure that brand marketers have a reasonable way of determining ROAS, either online or in the physical world. I suppose they could take brand recognition surveys and compare before/after a given campaign, but that is hardly an exact science.

I remember seeing this a while ago, but its always stuck with me:

For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives.

People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learnt never to underestimate someone's capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:
