And as a result of this, you can't have a 3GB byte array in C#. I think there needs to be a big benefit to make hard-coding a restriction like that into the language worth it.

Unfortunately I've read every comment in this HN thread (so far) and I haven't found any specific one mentioned, just people calling it "crazy" and "confusing" over and over.

Go is a language that has explicit pointers! And of course those can be 32 or 64 bits and change struct sizes, field offsets etc. There are certainly things about Go that are confusing but I've never thought this was one of them.

Just FYI Go has int8, int16, int32, int64, and int types. Only the 'int' type is the machine-native one. It's always been obvious to me that 'int' is the one without a fixed size, but I think this would be less obvious if the naming convention was different using short, int, long etc.

The illicit nature of street ketamine is what sets it apart from SSRIs, for mainstream society. A random primary care physician (PCP) isn't going to send a prescription for it over to the local CVS/Walgreens pharmacy for convenient pickup over lunch. Which often means resorting to desperate measures, at heavy markup, in order to procure any amount, with an unreliable supply.

Self-medication can be problematic because it's non-objective, but it can easily lead to (psychological) addiction. The brain optimizes/skips a step - not-being-depressed looks a lot like actually being happy when compared to being depressed, so then there emerges this belief that the user needs to be high on ketamine constantly, which is when it becomes a problem.

GP post isn't arguing that no one should use ketamine, or any other medication that works. They are giving first-hand perspective that ketamine addiction is real, and having heard stories myself, I'm inclined to believe GP. It would be great if ketamine had to be prescribed by a doctor to avoid addiction, and that such a requirement didn't end up excluding those outside of mainstream society (often because of mental problems like, say, depression).

FDA approval of ketamine for depression will go a long way to improving the situation but for now one choice is to pay some $1500/session (not covered by insurance), to a clinic run by medical professionals risking their license. (Each session uses less than $20 of ketamine, so it's quite the markup!)

The other option is to buy street ketamine, which is a move of desperation, but looks a lot better than committing suicide.

I don't understand the objection int the article about the possible necessity of "booster" treatments though.

While that’s a step in the right direction, it would likely be better to allow mixed zoning, so we could mix more multi-family into existing urban and semi-urban areas.
The killer feature of Hangouts and Talk before it was always that people didn't need to sign up for or install anything if they already had a Google account. That was lightyears ahead in 2006 when most people were using a desktop mail client and one or more desktop chat clients and SMS to talk on the go.

Fast forward to 2018 and the probability of convincing any non-tech person to sign up for a new service just to talk to you is even lower than in 2006 when new services at least had novelty.

The singular point of blockchain is to establish a paper trail. The singular point of Tor is not to have a paper trail.

Those are literally opposites. Blockchain + Tor would be the sort of complete nonsense the article is talking about.

Blockchain has nothing to do with security. It's not a security technology. It's a permanence technology. It ensures that something is never modified in the absence of a trusted authority which it does with security technology and distributed proof of work.

Samsung's $130 million investment over years, sold out to Chinese firms for $14 million.

To the Chinese, theft of IP is just business as usual.

Every single firm I've personally encountered that has done biz in China has either already had their IP stolen and sold in competition with it (or just products sold out the back door w/o label), or fully expects that it would happen and takes strong defensive strategies, e.g., sending pre-mixed materials to China where they only do the final process.

This is not sustainable. While the West thinks that we were exploiting China for it's cheap labor, the Chinese had a much longer range view -- they were exploiting our myopic lust for short-term profits to get our most valuable assets and gain long-term strategic advantage, both in both commercial and military technology.

This is likely to go down as one of history's greatest strategic blunders.

I wonder if it has already gone too far for us to recover.

You can make a Messenger-only account with just a phone number, provided that phone number has never been linked to a 'real' Facebook account.

"In emails, state and county Republican officials lobbied members of at least 17 county election boards to keep early-voting sites open for shorter hours on weekends and in evenings – times that usually see disproportionately high turnout by Democratic voters. Reuters obtained the emails through a public records request."

"The officials also urged county election boards to open fewer sites for residents to cast ballots during early voting that began on Oct. 20 and ends on Saturday."

The reason inconsistencies existed is because there was a coordinated campaign in 2016 that made the holdouts appear inconsistent.

This is classic voter suppression. There will always be different voting patterns among different groups. Identifying the patterns of your preferred group and then normalizing just those patterns is how suppression is accomplished, period.

What blows my mind is that Republicans have been discussing these strategies freely and openly for years, and yet for some reason people still feel compelled to believe post hoc rationalizations.

The Republican Party is morally bankrupt. America is an intrinsically conservative nation and conservatism will live on. But apologizing for the Republican Party and its politics... I find it inexcusable.

Except the thing about all of the items you've mentioned is that you can get stupidly low rates, and in some cases no interest loans, my savings account interest rate is higher than that of my car loan.

Nah, git retains its commit history, so it's actually closer to a blockchain approach than what I'm describing. Plus, with git, the syncs [with git-push and git-fetch] are async, such that a "cluster" of git-using nodes is never "in consensus" as a whole.

Picture instead, something more like a document synced in realtime using Operational Transformations (via SubEthaEdit, Etherpad, Google Docs, etc.), purely peer-to-peer (so specifically like SubEthaEdit) and without any peer expected to retain any history of the OT sync process itself (so you can't "wind back" the document like you can on Google Docs.) Except, now, also picture that if you try to broadcast any OT events other than an insert OT, the other nodes will just ignore those OT events, causing your document to fall out of sync with everyone else's. So the document itself can only ever grow, and nothing can be redacted or changed once it has been inserted.

So now you've got this single document that everyone can "write" to (but never change anything that's already been "written.") Now just make everyone always put their new writes at the end, so they're not breaking up anyone else's message. Now you've got a durable, distributed message bus.

(If you've ever used a wiki Talk page—or the old original C2 wiki where every page was a Talk page—the rule there for posting a new "chat message" to a page, is that you should append them onto the end of the existing "chat messages" of everyone else. If you put it anywhere else, another editor will revert your edit. This rule by itself is enough to allow for a functional chat system/forum with a complete logical "conversation" history! Same idea here—just that it's the database-node software that's automatically "reverting" bad edits. In all other senses, it's just a regular distributed file.)
Actually, you should not be relying on any social networks, if you want to keep history reliably.
At least you can export all your data now.

Arch used to be more BSD-like but since it’s adopted systemd it’s felt very much more mainstream Linux than it used to when it had a BSD-inspired rc.conf. That said, it’s still my preferred desktop OS.

FreeBSD definitely supports binary packages as well. It’s a great system to use too. In fact if there wasn’t a few Linux-specific tools I needed and FreeBSDs hardware support was on a par with Linux, then I would use FreeBSD as my primary system - without a doubt. But as it is I still run FreeBSD for all of my personal servers.
That's what I use at work, I just wrapped it with Vue and did some moderately horrible stuff internally to allow reactive rendering (and by moderately I mean horribly).

It's interesting. You and other commenters refer to MDMA as providing an experience of being anxiety free, but the few times SWIM's rolled, I've experienced part of the time with a high level of anxiety (in fact, the first time I got a panic attack was while rolling). They still were amazing experiences that made me feel great afterwards.

Democracy isn't too popular with Azimov, I think.

And now that I think of it, Banks also doesn't like it. Humans and AI Minds have equal rights. And they exist in a state of benevolent anarchy. There are organizations, but decision making is not at all democratic. Maybe closer to consensus-based.

Also, humans and other organic beings come off as limited and irresponsible. Needing guidance. So the Minds are really running things.

Indeed, the Culture is rather a civilization of Minds, which keeps humans around for moral and sentimental reasons. It creates stuff for them without effective limit. For example, any Culture citizen can have their own planet, orbital, ship or whatever. Abundance has destroyed the concept of money. And the Minds keep them safe, from themselves and from others.
The EU has taken the position that all of these vertical specific search engines are industries that should be treated separately from "general search". I think this is faulty as
- from a customer perspective, I just want an answer to my question regardless of the vertical
- from an industry perspective every small competitor is of course going to complain that big bad X is taking their business

So we just end up with arbitrary enforcement of the rules based on which companies the EU is angriest at.

How about you rent a VPS, build your packages there, and set up the VPS as your own binary package repository? A $5/month ($0.0075/hr) Linode VPS comes with an SSD, and they're absurdly fast with the network. If it helps (I'm not sure where the bottleneck is most of the time), you can rent a more powerful VPS for a few hours for the build and then copy the built packages to a cheap $5/month VPS for hosting. Just don't forget to destroy the more powerful VPS once you're done. Turned off VPSes are still reserved for you so they would continue charging you for it until the hour you destroy it.

I haven't used Gentoo, but you say it can use binary packages. If it's too complicated, another option could be Archlinux. Building packages is really easy. It's just `asp export $package; cd $package; makepkg` and you'll get a $package-$version.pkg.tar.xz in the directory. If you want to modify something, just edit the PKGBUILD that asp downloaded. It's just a simple bash script with standard conventions. Once you're done modifying PKGBUILD, `makepkg` will make the package.

To make a repository, it's just a matter of putting all the .pkg.tar.xz in a directory and running `repose -J $repo .pkg.tar.xz; gpg -b $repo.db`, then hosting that directory with an http server.

Configuring the package manager to use your repo is just a matter of doing something like:

cat >> /etc/pacman.conf << EOF
[$repo]
Server = $url
EOF

EDIT: Anyone know how we can escape asterisks? The .pkg.tar.xz above is supposed to be a glob.

> I think it's more because sorting is all about "efficiency", and sorting things without allocating a ton of intermediate data structures is viewed as more efficient.

I agree that probably explains a lot of it.

However the cost to efficiency is not that large and may be worth the gains in conceptual clarity. First, the traditional implementation of QuickSort has an implicit (or virtual?) intermediate data structure, the function call tree. Second, I have limited understanding of lazy evaluation, but in a lazy language I believe ‘flatten’ would begin consuming the tree as it is still being built by ‘build’.
The article talks about Tokyo being designed to handle 5 cm/hr of rain. That's extreme but not record breaking.

The rate given for the Edo Discharge Channel pumps in the article is 200 tons per second. At 5cm/hr, that's enough to drain a region 150km x 100 km, or the whole Tokyo metropolitan area.

There are other drains (like the Edo River itself) and other sources of rainfall, but based on that calculation 200 tons per second is a huge contributor to draining even a megacity.

The WTO riots in Seattle were partly because this was an obviously dumb strategy that sold out the well-being of the public for the enrichment of a few elites.
There's also the issue of rent-seeking hoarders. If "everyone" can pay more for the same thing, the cost of that thing rises to what the market will tolerate. It's basic Econ-101.

"A place to live" is only elastic in the number of people that want to live there. Right now more people want to live in cities than there are places in cities (particularly well built, noise and odd smell insulated places), so even though the quality of housing is lower than alternatives the cost to rent or buy is not reflective of that lack in quality.

The cost of building, in terms of land, approvals, delays in construction, etc is also not favorable.

At least to me as an outside observer, it seems EXTREMELY LIKELY that the 'market' is misaligned to the needs of the people and in need of a deep systemic overhaul including a review of regulations that encourage / discourage various activities.
I've had OpenBSD on my laptop for a couple of years now, but I recently installed Void and have been very happy with it. It maintains a lot of the simplicity you get from a BSD. Although it doesn't have a lot of the advantages of OpenBSD security-wise, the performance is better and software compatibility is higher.

Void also has forgone systemd which I find to be a mandatory requirement for a linux system. It's why I left Arch for OpenBSD in the first place. I love the simplicity of runit (the init system Void uses) and their package manager is top notch.
