I have to work at keeping my mouth closed, and some nights don't work out well, but most do. I also use alternating combinations of sedatives, and take them in stages (e.g. sometimes a partial pill embedded in a softgel taken after 3 hours of sleep).

As a longtime JS dev, I sometimes cringe for this reason when I see new features in ES. Even though I'm excited about them, when I think about experiencing them as a learner I feel intimidated. One good point the article makes that I wish more language designers accounted for is the fact that in a shared language you can't just pick and choose - to reach a level of expertise you basically have to know all of it.

Starbucks has always been sugar with a side of coffee. That's its appeal.
I've been learning Elixir, which is really good for creating concurrent and scalable systems. Concurrency has always been something that has fascinated me and I see in Elixir a chance to make very concurrent code without having to deal with locks, race conditions, and all the other icky low-level stuff. Elixir is also a functional language, making this is the first functional language I've learned, which is another reason I'm enjoying it.

Over the past couple years, I've heard from developers who were very satisfied with Elixir, so I finally sat down and started to learn it.

As I've been learning Elixir, I've been writing a series called "Learn with Me: Elixir" at https://inquisitivedeveloper.com. The idea is that anyone else who's also interested in Elixir can follow along as I learn it and learn it for themselves as well.

Of course, playing around with it has also helped me learn far more than just reading about it. Writing about it has helped me learn a lot better, and my hope is that someone else will also find my writing useful.

I would be very surprised if Apple’s frameworks ended up becoming Swift-only any time in the next decade. While Swift is the spiritual sucessor to Objective-C, there is far too much Objective-C already written that would be costly to obsolete, even if Swift had the facilities to do everything Objective-C can (and, as I’m sure you’re aware, it is not at that point yet).

As a thought experiment, I wonder what the reactions would be if, instead of barring objectionable creators, they instead forego their 5% cut and instead donate it to a charity or cause that is opposite to the creator's ideology.

In the interests of full transparency, they would have to include a notice on the top of the creator's page...
No, this is not on the "ok side of the guidelines"—it's a gross violation. They say, and for good reason: "Please don't impute astroturfing or shillage. That degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about it, email us and we'll look at the data." (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) You did just the opposite. We've warned you about this before. We ban accounts that keep breaking the site guidelines, and if you keep doing this we will ban you.

No one is resisting discussion of abuse. We work against the abuse of Hacker News every day. When people raise concerns we look into it every time. The problem here is that you're inventing it out of whole cloth. What is the evidence? Some "pro-China comments" that "sound reasonable"? Someone expressing views you don't like is not evidence. People here have a wide range of backgrounds and therefore views.

In one sentence you project astroturfers out of purest imagination, and in the next are already talking about them as if they've been substantiated. That's the cheapest of internet cheap shots, it's poison to the community, and you can't post like this here.

General remark:

In the last few months this class of posts has migrated from "You're a Russian spy" and "how much did Putin pay you to post that" to "You're a Chinese shill". It's obviously the same phenomenon, and the fact that it swings so dramatically with political fashion already shows that this phenomenon is not factual, but mass-psychological.

There's an internet law that the probability of users accusing someone of astroturfing rises with the intensity with which they disagree with their view. I hope someone comes up with a pithy formulation and snappy name for it. Anyone?

I'm hoping you have a 256 GB ssd. In any case lots of bad stuff is common and hoping the universe changes seems like a bad strategy seeing as a 500GB ssd is about $85 and a 500GB hd is like $30.

If you want more future proof a 1TB ssd can be found for around $150.
It's also staggered by grade level. My elementary school started 8am, middle school started 9am, and highschool - the one with the longest commute for most due to there being less and larger schools - started at 7:40am. On that last one, buses dropped us off around 7am, so I had to be out the door by 6:25am.

Where can I read more about that? My google searches have not been fruitful.
I'm not sure that's an important comparison. They're not saying that there's no good reason for the current state of C++, or that they can't understand why it's like that. They're just saying that it'd be nice if Rust didn't disintegrate into the same morass of new syntax, primitives, idioms and pitfalls that C++ has become.
> It's mind boggling how much sugar is in everything

I remember traveling to Western Europe a couple of years ago (I live further East) and trying to buy plain yogurt from a supermarket, I mean yogurt which should have tasted as close as possible to the one my peasant grandma used to make. It was close to impossible to find such a product, as even the yogurt labeled as "plain" had a sweetish taste, you could definitely tell that they had put sugar in it. I imagine that in the US the state of affairs regarding sugary foods is even worse.
I see, so is that an indication that Zircon might eventually migrate to Rust?

> to prevent an angry mob from taking away someone's platform

What? My reply had nothing to do with defending platforms from angry mobs. To reiterate in case you are misunderstanding something, if a company fits the criteria I stated in my previous reply (aka companies like Google/Alphabet) then it should be either regulated or nationalized.

So no, nothing about preventing angry mobs from taking over someone's platform. Unless you consider the government regulating businesses who are abusing their monopoly on public discourse to be an angry mob.

Honestly can't tell if you are trying to make a weird gotcha here or flat out replied to the wrong post.
Again, this seems to have been the norm. There have always been venue operators or publishers who have a significantly larger audience than their tiny similars. If Emma the Anarchist wanted to be published in the early 20th century, she wasn’t being published by the era’s Wall Street Journal, she was published in small homegrown publications.

I mean, I do recognize the scalability and network effects, but I’m still not convinced it is any different from the distant past or the recent past.

I did intentionally want this to be inflammatory.

ICOs,crapcoins have took money from the general public without any regulation and funneled into shady, dodgy ventures. So yes of course my comments come out to be inflammatory.
I never go there so I don't know their products. But I always had the impression that they are riding on a reputation of being a 'responsible' business compared to for example Coca-Cola. But based on the nutrition label of the Chai I guess Starbucks is really just another sugar water manufacturer.
Let's also come back to it when Rust is older than C++.

Why is starbucks supposed to be good? Isn't this the company that makes the double pump vanilla frappe, and almost certainly started a viral instagram marketing campaign targeting teenagers with their rainbow unicorn drinks? They're in the business of selling addictive fast food just as much as all the other players.

They were functional, but gasoline cars quickly became much cheaper/much faster/and had greater range.

Also with highways, gasoline cars could make do with less infrastructure required to actually use them.
It is antisemitic in universe, and it's obviously a parody of antisemitic behavior. Comedy and parody typically get a pass on offensive behavior, particularly when the offender is being mocked and the language is being used as criticism (see racist and antisemitic content in Mel Brooks films, for example.) Some people probably do find Borat offensive, and Mel Brooks, regardless.

But I think the mistake your comment makes is trying to find an objective definition to judge a subjective behavior, trying to determine whether people should find something antisemitic, regardless of the context. But sometimes context does matter and you can't really control who gets offended at what, or judge what offense is "legitimate" and what isn't, based on some arbitrary criteria.

This just doesn't work for making fast software in my experience. It's very rare that 90% of your execution time is in 10% of your code because that code is obvious low hanging fruit and will have already been optimised.

Selective optimisation of hot code will always lead to execution time being spread evenly through your code.

>He says some people misunderstand the aim of his research; he doesn’t suggest that African Americans undergo plastic surgery to look more baby-faced, or wear glasses if they have 20/20 vision, or make an effort to speak softly. He’s not warning mature-looking black men away from C-suite roles. “I think we should focus on dismantling the hierarchical structures and systems that keep people out and produce phenomena like the Teddy Bear Effect,” he explains. “I want people to realize that we don’t live in a meritocracy, that we are judged by different standards. A quality that could be an asset in one group could be a liability in another.” And because people make many choices and decisions “outside of awareness, intent, or control,” prompted by cues they often don’t notice consciously, Livingston says it might be helpful to change hiring and promotion practices to avoid such blind spots involving physical appearance.

And how did he come to the conclusion that these effects and psychological biases are undesirable and we should find mechanisms to avoid them? The journalist either skipped it, or Livingston jumped to state his opinion without explaining himself.

I could also interpret the data presented in the completely opposite way: these psychological biases have helped us choose people more apt for these positions and we should create an AI that chooses people based on these facial characteristics, but well, as long as I don't provide a rationale, I'm just spewing bullshit, as the second part of this article does.

I'm sorry for the diatribe, but I'm a little tired of these articles trying to push their political agenda.
To be clear - I'd prefer not to see a new wave of regulation online. I'd much rather see the tech industry clean up its own house and fix its own problems. But since the big companies still seem to be dragging their feet on this after all that's happened I'm pretty sure we're about to get dragged kicking and screaming into the sausage factory that is government regulation.

Yes, these were carrier boards with numerous (8-16?) sub-boards each of which had an RK3399 CPU, each of which has 6 CPU cores (2xCortex-A72 cores, 4xCortex-A53 cores) plus a NEON coprocessor and Mali T860 MP4 GPU. The article discusses 24 cores. The Firefly hardware I saw would therefore have at least 6x8 = 48 CPU cores, or double the ARM64 CPU cores discussed in the article, before even counting the coprocessor or the 8-16 GPUs also included.

The problem is with bad power supplies and USB cables.

Make sure the USB port can pump out enough current. Make sure you use a short, thick USB cable. Once you do that, stability issues are gone.

I also put a heat sink on the CPU, but it probably has no effect on stability. It reduces the amount of time the CPU spends in thermal throttling.

"The bottom line is that an online service can ban any user for any reason, period. "

Agreed.

And the govt (US and EU) can break them up whenever they they attain market monopoly. Or governments (every other one) can decide they've had enough with arbitrary content control by foreigners and ban their service within their borders.

Which is fine, really. I dont b%^h about FB and friends kicking someone out of their service. I expect the enlightened not to b^&h when countries ban services they like.

They say you can't time the market. I am trying to prove that statement incorrect. This downturn actually was caught by my algo on both sides. It was signalling a high top, and it also signaled a fake sell-off. Today seemed to show that the fake sell of existed, however, I didn't turn to puts early enough. Next time, I should be able to capitalize more.

However, not running for cover during December definitely helps my marketing.

While I'd deplore everything about it, I would note that the most well American fascist website was online when I checked a moment ago. And I'd note that the effort deplatform that site occurred because it was quite well known and truly obscure publications are much less likely to get that treatment (for good or ill).

Which is to say that net now certainly makes a wider range of views available to those interested than ever before. There's still individual apathy or skepticism keeping people from sample this Niagara but that doesn't seem like the worst. Many people like their platform filtering out racist garbage and hey, that seems like not entirely terrible.

But the contrast is that in a small city in the US in the 1950s, a person would have to physically leave their location to get more "risque" or "extreme" publications of any political stripe.
> She could go back on that, but it's too late now that she's known by it.

Interesting. I read the first Harry Potter novel (i.e. the german translation) as a kid about 3 or 4 years after it was released. I'm pretty sure I knew the "J" stood for Joanne from the get go.

OTOH, I still can't remember what H.G. Wells' first name was, although I must've looked it up a couple of times by now…

You are confusing me with someone else. I posted none of those things.

> We've warned you about this before.

I don't think so, but maybe a long time ago. Again, I think you're confusing me with another user.

You mischaracterize my comment in many ways; specifically, I didn't ask you to address astroturfing in this discussion, but instead was making a point about my user experience; I wouldn't have a reason to follow the guideline about emailing you as I understood it (though I'm not an HN lawyer and don't want to be one). But more than that, I spoke politely and tried to address problems I have as a user, and tried to avoid violating any guidelines by not accusing anyone. I don't think I deserve attacks and unfounded personal accusations about my motivations introduced into my day; I don't see how the latter is ever appropriate or necessary. Just say, 'that's not allowed here, here is why, please don't do it.' If I make a mistake, I'll apologize and try not to do it again.

Happy holidays.

P.S. I'll edit my other recent comment, which in this context might be inflammatory.

To be honest, I'm right with you. But I enjoyed it thoroughly, and actually already started to turn it into a blog post, haha. Also a new thing for me, but also fun.

I just find psychology interesting. And if you look around, it's actually some kind of quotation, instead of the kindly forgotten weak moment which it would be in a world that doesn't need even such silly blog posts. I didn't bring it up, I did my part to put it to rest, and you're welcome :P
Glad to hear, that's a plus for me for German foods then. It was actually the French-speaking part of Switzerland, the Coop stores (which is strange because otherwise they sell great cheese). What's even worse is that after two or three days I was getting accustomed to that sweetish yogurt and I was starting to think that that was its natural taste.
