Great question firethief! I think both approaches -- a) sticking close to rust and supporting beautiful interop, or b) creating our own GC and using interesting data structures (I've wanted to implement persistent vector tries for a while) -- could be very cool.

For now, this was more of a toy project. If you have an interest in pushing either of these directions, would love to talk!

This is spot on. People who've never had to deal with the administrative overhead of having to accommodate a new locale per employee don't realize how difficult it can be. There is substantial tooling on the front office side with respect to remote work, but the back office is sorely lacking and one of the key inhibiters of more companies doing this at sufficient scale.

@stupidcar we've reached the depth-limit, so I'm responding here.

> In the case of "trust but verify", how does this trust manifest in a provable way?

Good point. "provable" is the problem here since we don't know eachother, and frankly I can't prove you're trustworthy initially; that's why the question this addresses (namely "trust-or-misstrust?") arises in the first place. Assuming we don't have dossiers on everyone we're going to meet and work with, we have to decide on an initial point on the trust-scale you mentioned with which to begin interaction.

"Trust but verify" is about having faith that people are generally good, and treating strangers that way while protecting yourself. It indicates balance between treating strangers like data-points and getting walked all over is important, and it provides a suggestion about how to approach the situation.

A friend described his bolt as 'a car'. As in it's a car. That's it.

Correct, it is also important to recognize that they could have exploited their user base (500 million iPhones sold) to serve ads or collect data and sell it - that is a real business expansion idea. "They don't need to make money as a hardware company" sidesteps the investor-company relationship: Public companies are obligated to expand under investor pressure, but the strategy is always in the hands of the executives. Apple didn't succumb under the pressure.
And you think the dollars spent on the wars have actually done anything to prevent future attacks such as the ones you mention?
I love the article, I actually tinkered with something like this a few moths ago.

I tried to navigate back to HN using the back button, however it was inoperable. I found that passing every section heading on this article adds a line in your browsing history. Please don't mess with my browser history while I'm just scrolling. If I click on something that's fine, but not while I'm scrolling. I already have a history of where I am in your article, it's called the SCROLLBAR!
Great idea, but the trained model is still a little bit lacking. Many times the choices didn't make much sense coming from the question. That being said this is a super ambitious chatbot and I love seeing this type of thing implemented
There's nothing wrong with signals per se. The problem is the signals API. Why do signals handlers need to be process-global? Why do we need to live with global signal handler registration clobbering any previous registration? We can change these things!

These problems are all fixable without "replac[ing] signals" as the mechanism. Ultimately, as long as processors have traps (which they will, as long as we have virtual memory) and as long as you want to give userspace to do something in response to these traps other than immediately die (an ability that's tremendously useful) you need some kind of stop-the-thread-that-trapped-and-call-a-callback mechanism, and whatever shape that mechanism takes, it's going to end up looking at least somewhat like signals.

Instead of just saying "signals are awful" and burying our heads in the sand, we should talk about what a better signals API should look like. I've already written a detailed proposal that I've linked elsewhere.

The real problem here is that the glibc people are completely uninterested in actually improving the signals API. Instead, they've taken the radical, unhelpful, and realistic stance that nobody should be using signals. As long as they think that way, people will keep using sigaction(2), and the world will remain in a half-broken and awful state.

The bar Facebook has set is not that they will improve the situation of all trans women everywhere. The bar set is that Facebook will removing people known for dangerous speech. The question is "has Milo committed dangerous speech?". I answered "yes, I believe so, I recall incidents that can be interpreted as such".

Why coal or nuclear? Baseload is incompatible with renewables. During peak production of renewables, coal and nuclear can't simply shut down. They are too slow. What happens is that they have to keep running but sell their electricity at a huge loss. Producing energy when you need it the least is bad economics. It's just that simple.
If those people are having a moment, and not to be dismissed out of hand because in their moment they happen to be staring at their phone, it can be a lost opportunity.

Recently, I've observed that you're more likely to meet someone, and end up in a long conversation, close to the point where either you, or they, show up. So, you could strike up a conversation with someone after sitting next to them for 30 minutes, each doing your own thing... but it's been my experience that when you show up, or when they show up, there's more of an incidental openness that can be exploited with a "hello" (or whatever suits the occasion).

We run as many benefits as we can take on for members of small businesses, so that businesses can rely on us as a partner to run their membership program. They can focus on their core business.

To date, this includes: discounts, first access to event tickets for members, members-only merch (hoodies, shirts, pins), members only events - as the benefits we built-in/are prototyping.

First-access to events, members-only gatherings, and discounts, are the most common member benefits running on Withfriends. Those are built in.

On top of built-in benefits - businesses can take more control and write in benefits. To help them, we have a member-lookup/scanning app in beta for staff (a member side is coming soon). That makes it easy for staff to handle benefits off platform, or simply treat members well.

Members of North Brooklyn Farms (more about them here: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/59xwjx/diy-spaces-go-main...), members get a bag of veggies every time they visit (https://withfriends.co/north_brooklyn_farms)

Members of Bluestockings (by the way, what an honor to work my lifelong legends) get discount benefits at the store, even before automate them. (https://withfriends.co/bluestockings/join)

Members of AdHoc (also legends) get a zine delivered to their door, and a curated playlist. (https://withfriends.co/adhocfm/join)

Members of Chicago Meat Collective ... get extra meat (https://withfriends.co/chicago_meat_collective)

When you sign up Withfriends, you get a simple, effective membership program - we encourage businesses to be as minimal as possible and just turn it on. We've found that members want to support the small businesses they love. You don't need to overthink it.

The website has been refreshed. The feature highlights section on the front page gives many examples of the features with code samples.

Even as someone who follows zig closely (from a distance), I was glad to read that front page again to day to refresh my memory about:

* Cross-compiling is a first-class use case

* Zig Build system

Also, IMO Zig has some of the most exciting WASM related stuff going on in my limited experience as an outsider (to WASM). Following Zig's development of WASM capabilities has taught me more things with less confusion.

Basically anywhere not unusually rich? They're no longer Maserati-uncommon around here like they were a few years ago (Maseratis: also rare most places) but they're still pretty uncommon. Might see one, maybe two a day on the road on a commute into the city and back. Some days a couple more, lots of days zero. I think I've seen one ever in my neighborhood of 100+ houses, and I'm not sure it belonged to anyone who lives here. And this is not an actually poor neighborhood, or even close. Just not rich.

> - 9/11 was an inside job

And yet the opposing simplistic narrative of "Terrorists hate our freedom" has caused orders of magnitude more harm. Hundreds of thousands of lives lost! But since that is the power-structure-approved message, it was/is heartily repeated (along side yellow cake, aluminum tubes, etc).

If someone can't grasp the bigger ideas of multiple independent actors each with their own divergent motivations, suicide attackers acting out of desperation for long term grievances, etc, I'd rather them end up at "inside job" instead of the officially sanctioned propaganda that ended up mobilizing so much death.
Whether or not the uninformed masses care is a pretty poor measure of a problem's importance.

MS was basically making money no matter what given the highly lucrative office + windows franchise that Bill Gates left behind. I wouldn't credit Balmer with that too much he just basically kept on milking that. The problem by the time he left was that there was increasingly less to squeeze.

Shareholders tend to look forward rather than backward and it was getting very clear that windows and office were increasingly less critical to users and that there were some serious revenue issues around that going forward. Windows on the server was basically getting less relevant by the day. Windows desktop was feeling a lot of pressure from Apple and increasingly Google. Office sales were suffering when companies started using alternative office tools from e.g. Google. Windows Phone was not working that great either and struggled to gain market share on Apple and Google. The Nokia acquisition that Balmer pushed through was sort of the nail in the coffin here. That was an expensive failure and that is 100% on Balmer.

The keyword in those strategies was windows. Under Balmer it absolutely had to be windows everywhere. Server, desktop, mobile, IOT, and all the rest. It wasn't working. That's why Balmer 'left' (i.e. was pretty much fired but in a nice face saving way).

Nadella killed that windows everything strategy and turned things around. Office is now liberated from Windows and making a lot of money for MS again. Cloud is growing more important as well, courtesy of mostly non windows software running on Linux in Azure. Meanwhile windows on the desktop seems pretty cool now that MS has added Linux integration, a non MS browser, and a few other things that make it a lot more attractive for developers and users and now that they are no longer forced to be in this windows everything walled garden. Even mobile is doing great for MS now that they can focus on treating IOS and Android as first class citizens.
Not all arguments are valid, but all people are valid. That's the reason for listening.
>I'm not a fan of either of these people, but how exactly are Milo Yiannopolous and Paul Joseph Watson "dangerous"?

They don't adhere 100% to the established views of the 10% of "good people". Hence, they are, if not dangerous, bad.
This could be easily resolved by making all insider trades happen at the worst price during the preceding and succeeding quarters. Or two quarters before and after the trade. Just make sure that the pricing and the criminal charge for failing to disclose windows overlap.

I realize that there is a buyer or seller for every trade and this could be harmful to them, so perhaps just fine the insider for the difference between the worst prior/successive price and the price on the day of the trade.

Here's a nice video: https://answerswithjoe.com/lidar-vs-computer-vision-waymo-be...

It's a little more compelling on the data side but also goes into Lidar vs vision.

It might be controversial at this point to assert that vision is better. But I don't think it's controversial any longer to assert that vision is sufficient.

Given that driving and roads are currently set up for vision and Lidar will never be able to "see", it seems very reasonable to think vision could ultimately be better.
>Third, the college application undermines my value as an individual. Over the past seventeen years, I pursued my passions, excelled at every task I set my mind to, and tried to give back to the community that got me to where I am today. I should be in demand.

You're conflating your value as an individual with your value to other people. Pursuing passions and giving back is great for your value as an individual, but most of the world doesn't actually care. Unless your passion is something that other people can use to make money, it's not going to be relevant to anyone else. I don't care if someone I hire to do a job is the world's greatest amateur ichthyologist if I'm hiring them to do a job that doesn't involve fish.

The sooner you learn this, the better off you will be. I used to believe similarly that if I worked hard, went to school, and got a degree, that would be enough to get me a decent job. I was wrong. Nobody cared about any of that. All they wanted to know was could I do anything for them that would make them more money than it cost to hire me.

By all means, pursue whatever passions you want, but don't think it's necessarily going to get you anywhere in the world.

There's nothing abnormal about you Ryan. I hope you find something interesting and educational to do. I'm excited to see where you end up.
Someone comes to your house. Your private property. They proceed to call your daughter a whore.

Do you and your daughter kick them out?

Or

Do you and your daughter try to explain to them why your daughter's not a whore while you all sit in your living room?

It's a personal dilemma. I'll admit it.

But for my part, the guy's getting thrown out on his rear if he insults my daughters, significant other, or my mother or grand mother.

As a token concession, if he insults my father or any of my uncles, I'll let him have an, uh... "discussion"... with them while they "...work out their disagreements..." But that's not gonna end well for him either. They're all Vietnam Vets. The pissed off enlisted kind. Not the contemplative commissioned kind.
It seems to me that the range of human error is rarely smaller than that of malice, so again I'm not sure there will be much apparent difference between an exhaustive verification of either sort.
It would have seemed like a natural thing to add, say, injuries per 100k car trips, for comparison. Or injuries per 100k bicycle trips. Is 20 injuries per 100k way more than other modes of transport? If people don't take scooters, they won't just stay home, they'll make the trip some other way; it would have been nice to get some context. Disappointing article.
That's not fair of you to say I am being disingenuous. Please think before jumping to conclusions.

I really don't want to get into nitty gritty debate over people like PJW, but most of what you bring up plays into my point.

What's your threshold for considering an idea to be dangerous? It could be argued that there are ideas that can cause harmful effects on society, but people also have a right to be stupid. I don't see how believing in the illuminati, chemtrails, soy causing feminization, or that 9/11 was an inside Job are dangerous in the same objective sense that promoting racial violence is.

If you have a problem with people believing bogus things, then think about considering issues around education to be a priority, as people who grow up in societies that don't value critical thinking, science, skepticism, etc., are probably prone to believing dumb things. People won't stop talking about chemtrails because platforms consider it dangerous, and restricting speech around "fringe" topics only validates people's beliefs that the authorities are hiding the truth.

I don't know enough about what PJW has said about Muslims. Can you elaborate?
