Maybe you should have a look at the Microblog extension over XMPP https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0277.html.

It allows you to publish Blog articles on your XMPP accounts and let your contacts receive and comment them :)
It has been successfully implemented in clients such as https://movim.eu/ or https://salut-a-toi.org/.

On Movim we also generate static pages and Atom feeds out of it (for example https://nl.movim.eu/?blog/edhelas@movim.eu).

So if I want to harm a competitor's product on ReviewMeta, review it a bunch of times, then delete the reviews. Got it.

This is a crappy game of cat and mouse, and if producers are willing to exploit Amazon's system, they'll exploit ReviewMeta. The only thing that protects ReviewMeta at this point is that it's a niche service.

It'd be nice to see a mechanism that recognizes trusted reviewers, but even that can be exploited I suppose.

It's pretty important to note this is about how to teach C, not why. Should schools be teaching C at all? I would say yes, not as an introductory language but as a precursor to studying kernels or databases or compilers. Real-life examples of these are mostly written in C, and studying such systems is IMO a necessary part of a CS curriculum. Therefore, at some point students need to learn C. They should certainly have the option, so we still need to address the question of how it should be taught.

With regard to that question, the OP seems pretty spot one. The identification of certain codebases as good or bad matches my own experience with most of them. The advice to use static analysis and to avoid preprocessor abuse is sound. There are only a few things I'd add.

* You can't really learn C without also learning to use a debugger - probably gdb. That must be part of the lesson plan.

* A more in-depth discussion of good error-handling and memory-management practices would be worthwhile, since C itself doesn't provide these.

* It can be very informative to implement some of the features found in other languages in C. Examples might include a simple form of object orientation, or a map/dict/hash, or a regex parser. Besides their value as a form of practice, this would expose students to some of the issues and decisions involved in making these a built-in part of a higher level language.

Even in the best schools, it’s impossible to have eyes on what every kid is watching all day. You can ban technology, but even then clever kids will figure out a way to get them in.

I also don’t believe the viewing was done in school, but the kids were classmates who met in school.
Description of the issue from the original thread [0]:

The processor in a modern, high volume device typically has its main clock driven by what's known as a MEMS oscillator. These are barely visible mechanical systems that resonate at some designed frequency, and include packaging to convert this resonance into a useful electrical clock signal. These devices are extraordinarily cheap ways to produce a steady clock, but they have a number of drawbacks. Most relevant, in order for these types of devices to function properly, the mechanical resonator must be inside a tiny hermetically sealed chamber with either a controlled gas inside or a vacuum, as the gas composition in the chamber can affect the output frequency.

For both cost and physics reasons, these hermetic seals are not perfect, and are somewhat commonly permeable to small atomic gasses such as helium.

...

For this specific case, Apple devices probably share a common family of MEMS resonator to reduce manufacturing costs. This clock likely leaks in helium rich atmospheres, pushing the output frequency outside of the bounds that the main processors are designed to handle, rendering them non-functional. If left idle long enough, the devices may begin to function again, but depending on the concentration of helium which leaked in, this could take anywhere from weeks to years to occur in natural atmosphere and temperatures.

I was very pleased to see how easy and quickly I could set up an account and attach the feed from my actual site. (I note that this is all free, which is nice).

I find the $5 fee for someone to set up their own site to be perhaps reasonable on the face of it, but I fear that this won't work. I think those who care about decentralization and the decline of walled gardens are also technologically literate enough to know that they could host their own microblog for $5/month and have complete control. On the other hand, people who don't care probably wouldn't want to pay $5/month.

I would be very happy if it turns out that there are a large number of people willing to pay, and if RSS-based models flourished. Overall, I like the idea, it was easy to jump in, and good luck.

Except that is yet another folklore, as C wasn't there first in any form or fashion.

Had Bell Labs been allowed to sell UNIX, instead of giving it away for a symbolic price and C would have been a footnote on history of system languages.

>The email shows two big misunderstandings in how SwiftDemand works.

Well, since an HN comment isn't under the pressure of a 10-minute speed date and you can take control of your own narrative right here in this forum... Can you gather your thoughts and explain in 1 or 2 concise sentences how SwiftDemand works?

Your concise sentences should basically answer:

+ What's the revenue model? Is it memberships/subscriptions or ad revenue? Why would the buyers (consumers or businesses) pay money into the SwiftDemand ecosystem?

+ how SwiftDemands YC's $150k seed investment at 7% equity turns into ~$50 million. (Those example numbers assume YC's 7% being diluted twice down to ~4% with subsequent investments, and a ~$1+ billion dollar exit valuation.)

Your webpage mentioning "everyone gets 100 Swifts a day" and "3% fee" doesn't really explain the commercial _value_ of the UBI blockchain. This would also explain the motivation of _why_ people would pay non-Swifts currency like $USD to convert it into Swifts UBI blockchain.

Your other comment summarizing it to "to become a global currency that focuses on social economic good in the form of UBI" doesn't really connect the dots of how YC gets a ~$50 million return on their investment.

You can only afford to run Java on an embedded system when you are making limited-run devices, i.e. where the cost of the processor & RAM etc are negligible.

For most embedded devices, this is not true.

When you're paying for every device the code runs on... and that code wastes 80% of your cycles in abstractions and indirections then forces you to have 200% more RAM than the equivalent C code, that changes your mind.

Saving a tiny amount on a processor adds up when the multiplier is (say) 1 million units.

> People keep saying this, but the difference is comparable to Perl5/6 or Python2/3 - you can construct programs that are valid in both, and there's a big overlap of concepts and syntax.

There's more overlap wrt mental models between C#, Java and C++ than there is betwern C and C++. Being able to compile code in both languages means close to nothing if a developer can't understand how a project is structured and how a component is supposed to work.

> playing games where your only goal is to kill (oops, eliminate) people from the other team for hundreds of hours must have some kind of effect on you.

People really tie "kills" in games to murder in real life way too casually. When I play a game it's about strategy, team work, and winning.

A lot like Football (Soccer). It has little to do with the terms or animations used in the game -- those are just for entertainment.

I don't play a game because of how violent it is, I play it if my friends have it and/or it has good/fun game mechanics.
I agree, these are the relevant questions. In order to assert that a simulated brain cannot feel pain, you'd have to define simulation to mean... somehow something that excludes certain phenomena, like subjective experience, which is at odds with a basically materialist worldview. If subjective experience arises solely from physical systems like a brain, then you'd have to somehow prove that a fully simulated brain differs from a natural brain in some fundamental way, which seems hard.

If things like pain can't be simulated, if subjective experience can't be simulated, you then have to have some alternative explanation for its source in natural animals, which is wandering into metaphysical territory I think most of HN would be uncomfortable with.

I'm on the far end of this spectrum. I intend to say please and thank you to AI sooner or later. :P

Word. I like the idea of a desktop with no internet! What's the best offline encyclopedia in 2018 these days?

Our family has a TV on wheels that gets put in the closet and brought out primarily on weekends. Just an Apple TV with a few ad-free channels. When my 7 yo comes home from school and discovers the TV has been put away, he just goes and plays with his legos!

I couldn't see whether they have ruled out that ML is clustering based on the image noise and lighting.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same clustering is achieved after masking big/essential chunks of the fly from all the images (for training and testing sets). If indeed the 'imaging features' are the driving weights in clustering, that means the flies should be able to recognize that they are in a different room.

I think this is more the case when the messaging is that people must lower their standard of living. The desire of people to maximise their level of comfort and convenience is difficult/impossible to counter.

But if the messaging is that people can increase their standard of living but do so in a way that has neutral or positive environmental effects, that will be far more persuasive.

This has been the key to Tesla's initial success, and is also the key to roof-mounted domestic solar panels in many cases: they position environmentally-beneficial purchases/investments as luxury and/or fashion items.

Really?

"Scientists estimate we're now losing species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the background rate ... as many as 30 to 50 percent of all species possibly heading toward extinction by mid-century"[1].

I'm sure estimates vary widely, but that sounds rapid to me.

A few years ago I remember trying out twitter and following John Gruber. Back then I was interested in what he had to say about Apple, but instead I got a mix of Apple stuff and, IIRC, inane baseball updates. I remember thinking that it felt like a real step back to have such a mixed feed, compared to just subscribing to his daringfireball.net RSS feed.

John Darnielle, on why he listens to metal: "I mean, it’s music that I enjoy. I enjoy the playing, I enjoy the compositional approaches to musical expression. It’s weird, nobody ever asks. ‘What does listening to this type of music do for you?’ about any other kind of music, but with metal there seems to be this ‘justify your connection to it’ vibe out there. It’s a unique mode of musical expression that challenges the listener and transports me to different realms. I’d say the same of the rap I listen to, or the classical music, or the ambient music—but I guess I find a lot of different headspace to explore in metal, a lot of different moods to enjoy and ways to enjoy them."

Father of 10 years old. Technology is everywhere. Pixels, Gaming laptops, Youtube. I think my son have not seen an ad in a long time. TV is replaced with Youtube (mainly kind of stupid local streamers), all Chromes (phone, laptop, tv) are equipped with ad blockers. The time spend on these devices is not limited at all.

The trick is my son spends a lot of time on all kind of outside activities. Like playing with friends, language courses, math courses. When at home, I purposely try to find activities outside tech - like just chatting, lego before, currently doing random house projects. Also he is wikipedia expert - name a unknown topic and he is on wikipedia reading about it.

At the end he has like 2,3 hours free a day. He can do whatever he want - mainly playing games with his friends, when he is not installing all kinds of software he finds on internet.

So to sum it up - nothing is forbidden, time on devices looks healthy to me. I see some of his friends spending quite a lot time online though.

As for the ads, this streamer was advertising a stupid PC mouse. We bought it knowing it will be a disaster. His monthly budget was spend on it, it sucked and now he knows firsthand about the ads and as a bonus - he doubts the streamer and online content in general.

Genuinely curious here, I don't know much Lisp, but dont Lisp macros tend to be powerful in the sense that they expand to more statements for runtime, whereas the purpose of C++ constexpr is to compile it down to one constant at runtime?
That's an informative article.

Last time I took a look at TensorFlow Lite, they had a vision where you would export your model into a .tflite file (which is FlatBuffer encoded execution graph with weights) and then use it on mobile for inference like this, in pseudo-code :

model = tflite.interpreter().load_model("my_model.tflite")
model.set_input_data(my_input_buffer)
model.execute()
model.get_result(my_output_buffer)

Which is nice, since you can easily update the model by simply distributing a new file "my_model.tflite". The TFLite interpreter library would use whatever capability (SIMD instructions, DSP cores, etc) is available on the device to accelerate inference, so the application developer doesnt have to worry about writing different code for different platforms or even understand how the prediction works under the hood.

Is Qnnpack a library directly competing with TFLite? Are the file formats used for the model the same between tflite and this? Does it support TensorFlow Cores created by Google for inference, and/or more generally specialized cores like Qualcomm's DSP?
If microblog people are reading this, I have a few other comments. I'd like to emphasize that it's a very clean UI and experience.

1. I wish it were more obvious that I could check out a variety of microblogs at micro.blog/discover --- giving essentially a twitter feed. I somehow missed this entirely on my first go-through, initial setup, and checking of the site.

2. I associated the RSS feed to my own site to microblog. And I expected these posts to show up on davidlowryduda.micro.blog. They don't, it turns out --- those posts are just the ones I made on microblog. They do appear on micro.blog/davidlowryduda. This behavior surprised me.

3. While looking at micro.blog/discover, I replied to a comment. After clicking, poof, the UI didn't give me any sort of feedback that I'd affected the world. I think it should both be more gratifying to reply (if this is a functionality that microblog is encouraging) and that it should be more visually obvious that there are replies to a micropost. Right now, I only see that there does or doesn't exist a "conversation" link --- I wish it were more obviously distinguished.
