Account Deletion
I don't want my HN account anymore and leaving a dead account hanging around like a bad toenail is simply untidy.

Am I missing the delete button somewhere or has the most straightforward DELETE operation in history still not been implemented on hacker news?
Do they seriously do that? Seems so obviously counterproductive.

Agreed on the ternary operator.
No, they are more like a 200-car freight train than a sportscar that can turn on a dime. I suspect just getting the problem into the backlog could chew up weeks.
Technically passing and returning function pointers is very different from passing and returning functions. This has implications for things like closures.

I created a new language [0] that is very similar to Go, but it fixes many things people often complain about, including all of the points in this article (except #2, but I don't think it's a drawback, really).

It got lots of attention in a couple of months since the public release, and I often hear people say that they feel like this is "Go done right".

It'll be open sourced by June 20.

> What you said was like saying "There's already a carbon tax! That is, there's already a very visceral cost imposed in terms of the climate change we're already seeing."

If engaging in greenhouse-magnifying activities resulted in the same immediacy of frustration and discomfort that getting on a crowded freeway does, then sure, I'd not only contend that a carbon tax would be unnecessary, I'd go so far as to say as global warming wouldn't be a policy conversation at all until roughly the time the total waste heat output of human activity started raising the average temps.

Instead when I turn on a light or fill up a gas tank or type an argument on a computer, all I get is useful activity. There's no inherent negative feedback. Additional cost is one of the few signals that could be added.

When you get on the freeway, even in the absence of a fee or tax for your marginal contribution to everyone else's more arduous travel, you are immediately experiencing the aggregated marginal costs contributed by everyone else, in a way that you don't even have to calculate (though you could), you can feel.

And yet people do it anyway. Why? Certainly not because there aren't immediately apparent costs.

A solution that's incurious about why people are willing to bear existing costs isn't likely to be particularly effective at changing behavior. Or at predicting second-order effects even if it does find a price point at which it does.
Ha ha, I know how a Yagi works; 25 years of RF/Microwave circuit and antenna design. I don't see how you are going to get FM modulation out of this thing. This is akin to passing a CW tone through a filter at it's cutoff, then modulating the filter response. You get AM sidebands as the passband varies with modulation. The frequency does not change.

In order to get FM modulation from a passive resonator, the decay time of that resonator has to be much longer than the modulation; i.e. the resonator Q has to be very high, much narrower bandwidth than the modulation.

A back of the envelope calculation, for 3 kHz audio bandwidth, and a 300 MHz resonator, that sets the unloaded Q=100E3, which you can't get even close with a passive resonator, short of a superconductor. Not to mention the loaded Q from the monopole radiation is going to lower it even more.

You can get FM modulation out of an oscillator because the feedback is generating a negative resistance to compensate for the resonator resistance; the active circuit is a Q multiplier, getting you that massive Q.

The interrogator would have to set up not only a standing wave, but provide coherent feedback. Sort of a stand-off oscillator. Even if you had low-level FM modulation, it's still going to have the spectrum of DSB AM as the Bessel components are pretty far down.

Maybe it is doing that stand-off oscillator, but my hunch is the receiver is a coherent AM demodulator. You have the carrier available , so might as well use it.
Agreed on the future being lots of drones and missiles but I don't see how throwing a human or two into the middle of that chaos will help much. And the plane is either stealthy (but not as much as a smaller drone) or a powerful EW/CC antenna (but but as much as a purpose-built AWACS), but not both (unless they're using point-to-point laser comms already).

I realize this will sound cold and callous, but we need to stop trying to help. It is clearly not working. Birth rates are unsustainable (6.11 births per woman!), education is practically non-existent and not wanted, ritualistic rape of babies to cure HIV, abduction of children for soldiers... and the list goes on and on.

Because they signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-British_Joint_Declaration
I think that’s unfairly dismissive to the data scientists, statisticians, analysts and engineers who work at the New York Times and other major publications (as well as smaller, but crucially important places like Pro Publica).

The purpose of this material isn’t to suddenly turn normal reporters into data scientists, it’s to give them a better grasp and understanding how how to evaluate different types of information that become important when reporting.

I don’t know how good or bad this material is — a cursory glance shows that it’s very low-level, the type of stuff I learned in my 100 level accounting and stats classes as an undergrad. But I won’t dismiss this material being made available and potentially augmented for all — tho I wish it was stored in GitHub or GitLab.

If you look through the material, there is nothing that actually says that someone who goes through this training will be a skilled data journalist. But it might just prevent poorly-interpreted articles like this [1] from being written.

And for the record, I’ve worked with data journalists who were more skilled in math and computer science than the engineers I work with at giant tech companies.

Sorry, but I strongly disagree with you. Reading the cited book (Smart and gets thing done) was an absolute eye opener for me, and for every person that I have recommended it to.

Really, you should read it (unless you were only trolling). It is a very fast read and full of insight.

Also, "tech Q&A site " is a huge mischaracterization of Joel's blog. He has really insightful articles like "Evidence based Scheduling", or the ones about (not) rewriting-code.
Some x470 boards support it to via an addin card and thunderbolt header. To get displayport passed through you need to run a cable from your graphics card output to the addin card input. It's not very tidy and doesn't work 100%.

I'm hoping someone eventually just does the needful and sticks a thunderbolt chipset on a PCIE4 graphics card and makes it work somehow.

> Capitalization also restricts visiblity to two levels (package and completely public). I frequently want file-private identifiers for functions and constants, but there isn’t even a nice way for Go to introduce such a thing now.

To me this is more of an issue with not understanding some of the conventions the language pushes you towards. An example of this common stylistic mistake is when some repos will have a `lib` package with a large number of utility functions spread across different files. It runs into the author's issue of function and constant collisions. The solution is to group together utility functions into many small packages, which has the added benefit of changing the code at the call site from something like this:

lib.NewUUID()

To something terse like this:

uuid.New()

I've found that Go has lots of these sorts of nudges — dependency cycles generating a compiler error, for example — where the language enforces good style and organization.

However, if the Go compiler is going to enforce these rules, maybe it could be more helpful by suggesting the design tweaks that would help to avoid them, rather than forcing developers new to Golang to go through a kind of trial and error process.
Experts: Spy used AI-generated face to connect with targets
Book Review: Albion's Seed (2016)
By the fact that lmm said "You can pass functions", they probably meant "function pointers", since that's the only way you can pass in something that could be referred to as a function in C.

EDIT: At least last I heard. The example I gave is C89, and I know C99 and some GNU extensions. I don't know if a new standard introduced something else that could be referred to as a function that can be passed in but not returned.

A quick google for "c lambda" and "c closure" as well as looking for those keywords in the Wikipedia articles of C11 and C18 turned up nothing, so I guess not.
It's a surprisingly complex legal situation. It's very clear that using a domestic Sky subscription in a pub is a breach of copyright, but it's less clear if using a foreign satellite subscription is legal - recent court cases have gone both ways and involve both British and EU law. The fact that a pub is showing a football match without a suitable license from Sky isn't necessarily evidence of wrongdoing.

The glass provides an instant clue for inspectors, but also the general public. A busybody (or a rival publican) can instantly spot if a pub is using a dodgy satellite feed.

There's also the underlying tension between Sky Television and the English Premier League, who both have slightly different incentives around rights enforcement. The pint glass allows Sky to easily audit pub landlords, but it also allows the Premier League to audit Sky.

It's not a comprehensive anti-piracy system in itself, but it's a really useful and really simple tool.

Writing Collaboration with OpenAI: Context and Constraints – Stephen Downes
The problem with lasers in the optical spectrum is the scattering of the light by tissue.

More penetrating radiation is far less scattered and retains its energy density deep into the body. By concentrating several high energy (x-ray, positrons) sources at the same point, the combined energy at that point can be high enough to cause tumor destruction, while the energy along the path of the individual beams is not high enough to damage healthy tissues.

The technique can be applied to optical sources, but it's much more difficult because of the scattering.

> They want someone to do something about it, but it's not clear at all what that something really is or who would do it

> it's just absolutely nuts to think that decriminalizing usage has done anything but make this problem worse

From reading these two statements and others in this thread, it's hard for me to see how you're the one arguing against criminalizing people, and yet that's how you're describing yourself. What does "enforcing norms against anti-social behavior" mean in this context, if not putting people in prison or issuing citations (which eventually lead to prison)? I'm genuinely unsure if there's some third option I'm not thinking of.

The thesis seems to be that if you just do that enough, those people will go somewhere else or decide to stop being homeless. The problem is, that's what we used to do and it didn't work. Those people are from here, and they're not homeless by choice. Even if some do move on, they'll just end up homeless somewhere else.

The frustrating thing is that there is a solution to this, which is called housing first. The basic idea is that you give people housing they can live in, and then provide services like addiction counseling and job training to get them into a better place. But you start with the housing, because without stability in your life, it's hard to tackle challenges like this, and not having housing results in all kinds of other social problems. The problem with housing first of course is that it's expensive, which requires taxation.

To me the real problem is that the council has insisted on sticking to ineffective half-measures. We had the beginnings of a tax for affordable housing last year, although it was still too small, but the council backed down when Amazon and other large companies raised hell. What this ended up doing is making it clear that the council has no solution to this that they're willing to pursue, which has lead to this impasse.
I just witnessed a very similar situation, on a smaller scale, but there are many of these in my company, and they add up.

Boss: "We need access to the database of our primary application that you wrote for us so that we can pull the data into this new tool to track progress."

IT: "No. Not only can we not give you access to YOUR data in YOUR application that we wrote on YOUR dime, we will not allow you to have this new application written by someone who isn't in our group. If you wanted something like this, why didn't you just ask us? We would have written this for you."

Boss: "We had a meeting about this over a year and a half ago, and you told me that you didn't even have the time to discuss it further."

IT: "... Well, we're still not going to let you do this."

IT is effectively holding the rest of the company hostage, and the corporate technical debt is becoming epic. So skunkworks solutions will continue to be developed.

> You can't steal information

We already have legal terms for information that is property, namely intellectual property, the theft of which is routinely prosecuted (regardless of ideological beliefs on the nature of information).

If they bust you with an unopened package, they will try to get you to admit that you ordered it. And here's where it gets tricky.

If you ordered from a police honeypot seller, they have some reason to think that you did order. So if you at first deny ordering, and later admit that you did, you've just admitted to lying to them. Penalties for that can be worse than ordering illegal drugs ;)
> But would the alternative of designing and manufacturing many different aircraft be cheaper? And would it be as effective?

Yes. The military has tried the multi service aircraft idea in the past, wasted a lot of money, and failed completely to develop one of the desired variants. That was the F-111, which was supposed to have a Navy and Air Force version.

The F-35 was supposed to feature 80% parts commonality between the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps versions. Instead, it ended up being 20%.

With that little parts commonality, the different services should've just developed their own planes. All three services would've ended up with a more capable aircraft for their requirements that wasn't so heavily compromised. And it in all likelihood would have been cheaper.

> For it's faults, the F-35 is a weapon that can be configured and deployed at the drop of a hat for just about anything. That's a very powerful capability to have as a defensive and offensive weapon

It can fly a multitude of roles but it is not as good at many of them as a more focused aircraft would be. Considering the massive costs it was a bad trade off.

The best way to create reusable formulas in your workbooks is to add your table to the data model (which creates an in-memory tabular cube) and write measures using the DAX formula language. This has the added benefit that a single formula can be written to aggregate data at different levels, for example, a sum can be calculated over days, months, or years. This will only allow you to share formulas in a single workbook. The data model in Excel is powerful and under utilized.
Sky Credit Solution and How I Fixed My Credit
This came as a surprise to me, my home was about to be foreclosed, and my bills piled up. I was told by my realtor that I was not eligible for a home due to my poor credit condition. I had a couple late payments, 1 eviction, 2 inquiries and 4 items in collections. My credit score was 402. Getting a loan was impossible so I had to research on how to fix my credit, I came across a review about SKY CREDIT SOLUTION, I became curious and made some investigations which made me contact them. We had an agreement and they began working on my credit. After 8 days my credit changed totally. My score increased to 796, late payments, eviction, inquiries, and collections were ultimately removed from my report. I’m very grateful and I hereby recommend them to anyone who is going through troubles due to poor credit. This is their contact info SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM/ (620) 399 6316.
Elixir along with OTP and BEAM is sitting at a significantly higher abstraction level than Go. Everything is built around the distributed stateful soft-real time problem domain. While maintaining fault-tolerance.

You can have that in Go as well, you just need to build all the clustering mechanisms, OTP behaviors, tooling, actor model, embedded monitoring services and such from the scratch. You may well see Go significantly slower than Elixir at this point when you finish baking all that into it.

Developer hours are significantly more expensive than hosting. I'd happily pay double for hosting if it meant I could need half the people to accomplish the same task.
> But I cannot really support, in good conscience, punishing drug users to the point where they are pushed to become homeless.

To a large extent I agree with your point here, but these cities are well beyond simply not punishing drug users.

Mobile safe injection sites, needle exchange programs, cash handouts, unfettered defecation in streets, naloxone handouts, lack of enforcement of petty crimes like vehicle break-ins and theft. There are plenty of policy decisions being made here that affect the choices people make, and none of that even touches on actually enforcing drug laws.

Moral and financial cases can be made for any of the above, and we can debate that, but to me it's really drinking the Kool-Aid to claim these don't encourage homelessness. They certainly make it easier to make bad decisions that can start or keep you on the track of homelessness.
