Hey, don't talk about yourself that way. It is really hard working in an industry and learning in an environment where we are surrounded by people who are invariably much smarter than us. Don't let it result in self-hatred. I know I can't solve your problems in a HN comment, but please know that these feelings you have are common among many of us, and we need to take an active role in fighting them. You have worth as a person in so many more ways than you imagine.
It seems unlikely considering the other 3 were more drastically different and yet seen as pretty equally easy.
Hi, author here, let me know if t here are any questions. The core logic of this library is implemented in https://github.com/kristoff-it/zig-cuckoofilter so that it can be used also outside of Redis.
i like how easy it is to use.

it did not work for me in microsoft edgeHTML 17.17134, in chrome worked well.

In fact (AFAIK) in some countries outside of the US it's not even uncommon/surprising. That's what I thought was weird: the director was Korean. IIRC there's Asian cultures that eat scorpions or other similar stuff.
The phrase was meant to illustrate that the fund isn't for the legislators to spend regardless of its size. It is the people's money. The whole thing looks like the Grasshopper and the Ant. The ant(people) established investments to benefit themselves and their descendants. The grasshopper(legislators) spent damn near every penny of oil revenue. Now the grasshopper has stolen part of the ant's cache and is begging for more.

You also cut my quote in a bad spot. There are two parts of how Alaska residents get a check. There is an investment account that by constitution gets 25% of oil revenue to invest. Part of investment gains are rolled back in to the investment account. The other portion are put in the earnings fund that checks are paid from. The earnings fund is not constitutionally protected.

Correction, the amount of a check is in statue not constitution. The fund itself is in constitution.

> there was nothing stopping a company from opening every memo that came through the mail room

I hope I'm misunderstanding this, because I read it as saying they can open your mail...which I thought was a felony taken very seriously.
I was one of the many who argued strenuously that they not add try(). I spent an entire day writing up my reasons who I posted to the ticket on GitHub.

Bottom line, try() had too many flaws — especially related to consistency with the rest of Go — to be an appropriate addition to the Go language.

Adding try() to Go would be like adding a disco ball to the Sistine Chapel. Sure, disco balls have their place, but some places are just not appropriate for disco balls.

Or as Yoda says:

"Do or do not. There is no try." (Fortunately!)
So it is doable. QED.

I would be interested in a comparison with BoringSSL.
It tells you how they got from A to B. The Groom of the Stool was the most intimate job to the king and therefor you were naturally privy to royal secrets. Did you even read this?
They do a serious amount of pure research. If you haven't before, it's interesting to browse https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research and see just how broad it is.

Look, my point is this: If I open my text editor and type some text, save the file and sign it with GPG with my private key to prove authorship, then I don't see how you are going to break this. In that specific sense GPG is not broken.

There are countless online puzzles or cryptography use cases based on this. I am asserting that since GPG is not broken in this specific sense, you can't just say GPG is broken "in its entirety".
Very simple to fix - ban H1B for contracted staff. I.e. each recipient works for his org and only for this org. None of this 3rd party placement crap.
Last time I checked the sounds from Half Life were still copyrighted, no? It's still neat!
> annoying to write

That's subjective and it seems plenty of people have the opposite opinion.

> unsafe to parse

Is this based on theoretical concerns or practical experience?

> comes with a lot of overhead

Keep in mind the alternatives it is largely replacing. XML, text-based email protocols each with their own unique grammars, etc.

> I'd prefer s-expressions.

Ah yes, the plaintive cry of the lisper in the desert. ;-)

I'm afraid in the 60+ years that s-exps have had to catch on in the mainstream, they haven't.

I can't explain this result but nonetheless it seems irrational to expect it to suddenly change.
It wont be cut too much.

Making new apple breeds is mostly creating a bunch of variations/hybrids, and waiting 5 years for it to produce fruit.

I find Pink Ladies rather bland. IMHO Braeburns are the best of the industrial apple varieties (the modern ones which are tasty, sweet, and unchallenging); Fuji and Gala are somewhere behind, and Pink Lady behind that.

Cox is still the best, though!
Wonder if they obtained any people's financial data or social security numbers. Probably mostly self employed people and small businesses. Pretty scary how people use their SSN for everything. Seems so insecure to have a number you just openly pass around... Need to get a ID or license, credit card, bank account, your doctor, dentist asks for them, your phone company, cable company, of course when getting paid, and even police officers ask for them sometimes and write down in a notepad if your name happens to match someone else's name who has a warrant. Many other uses probably too I didn't think of off the top of my head.

I was randomly one day looking at dentist new patient forms and one even wanted to know your relationship status, not sure how that's relevant if a single or married guy gets a cleaning... I know home alone when the internet went out, so called the local cable company to see if an outage and the lady wanted the social security number on the account before continuing, which I didn't know. Just insane how many things use the same number, it's like single sign on for real life.

Same issue with bank account numbers. To pay someone with direct deposit, they can use the same number to withdraw from your account. I'm surprised banks haven't figured out a way to offer deposit only option... Just create a new account number but linked to another account, where deposits to account 4321 goes to account 1234 instead, but can't ever withdraw from 4321.

I got a feeling Facebook's account system is probably more secure than my local bank. Pretty sad when someone's hobby blockchain project has more technology in it than banks with billions of dollars of assets under management.
I would say you can't know if it will cause you pain until you try it. Using the metaphor, some people actually like certain types of pain, and pain is something that is very hard to understand simply by listening to the complaints of others.
Chromium uses NSS too, at least on some platforms. I've also seen it in embedded Linux contexts, it's more common than you think it is.

Currently you could use kotlin/native for such effort.
Yeah, these points are constantly brought up with self driving car tech and are honestly extremely boring. The cars will just slam on the brakes as the most effective way to avoid an accident. No software is going to look at the number of passengers or the value of passengers and decide which car needs to be sacrificed for the greater good.

Self-driving cars don't need to be programmed to be the ultimate moral arbiters of life. They just need to be safer than human drivers. What would optimal human drivers do in the instance that a family jumps out into the middle of the road? Probably just slam on the brakes. Not send their car head first into a semi trailer moving in the opposite direction.
Why would someone use a third party to host Quickbooks? Won’t Intuit host it?
This happened to me as well when I recently tried to make an account with an email address and no phone number. It was frozen almost immediately after creation, and when I requested it be unfrozen, twitter sent a message to my main email (NOT the one I signed up with!!) and required me to respond and say I had access in order to get the account back up.
Made me very uncomfortable and virtually destroyed any desire I had to use their service.
If people are always engaged in videos like TV and movies, they are generally less engaged in their own life - which is generally pretty unhealthy. I think people have come to realize that they don't need to watch stuff streaming all the time. They can read a book, or go outside, and even interact with real people.

Several online offerings offer zilch in the way of true health benefits.
Regarding music apps, VLC did that for me. No need to ever buy a music player when the best is available for free...
I learned, that working in a cutting edge field in a huge well known/respected company (europe) is most of the time really not that exciting and the actual work not that cutting edge.

My feeling is, that we were doing more complex problem solving at university and my personal projects are much more challenging than most things we do at work.

It's honestly quite a bit frustrating. And makes me want to build something up myself. Problem is, I am just not an idea-person...
The Strange Appeal of Perverse Actions
I'm sorry, but if you were forced to accept your initial H1B offer to immigrate to this country, then I believe there are authorities you can report this to.

However, it sounds like you came here voluntarily on an H1B and are now disappointed that you still don't have a green card, even though H1B and GC are separate things and no one ever promised you one. Nor does the US govt owes you one.
These are all good ideas. It seems to me part of the problem with these ransom attacks is the intruders aren't pouncing the minute they get inside the victim's network. They take their time, figure out where everything is (including backups) and then only force-spread the ransom malware after they have staged everything just-so.

As someone who started Go when Modules were already available, I don't think you'll run into it (unless you try to use older packages.)
Given that there's hardly anything to watch and customers are leaving because of it, I expect the prices to go down. They need to focus, produce at least something GoT/Breaking Bad-grade, and sustain it for a few years.
Would also be curious to understand how this compares. They seem to account for recursion and if-branches as well.
Basically a summary:

1. Focuses mostly on Nashville

1. Cities that have a young urban population with job creation that isn't tied to old industries are thriving.

2. Nashville has no State Income tax, and most cities and states that have no State Income tax are doing well as remote work takes over and tech workers relocate to take advantage.

3. Mention building a convention center for $600MM but no real numbers on what that had to do with the cities expansion. Uncorrelated at best.

4. One major change was the overhaul in zoning regulations that allowed developers to build vertically to accommodate a growing population. Perhaps an parallel to what is happening in San Francisco.

----

Summary: The economic turnaround from the recession has unevenly favored cities that are tied to non failing industries in decline. Seems pretty obvious.
If you know my problem, why are you even asking? Unless you know how to solve it...
The original post appeared to be suggesting just using HTML Canvas (since it's backed by Skia). Was it suggesting something else?
I wonder if the performance gains are due to BoringSSL being faster than OpenSSL?
"Why would anyone put film in their camera, take a picture, have it developed, scan it, email it, all so that I can print it on a dot matrix? That's so complicated; I could just put it in a manilla envelope and send it through the postal service. Why do I need a new way to send information?"

If you want to continue using legacy technology, that's fine. If you're not comfortable with your bits being in a computer, that's fine. But it'll be slower, more expensive, and less transnational etc.
Not sure why you had to insult me but you do you :)

There was an article from Microsoft on why they're adopting Rust that was posted a little bit ago. The gist of it is that even with a skilled staff, 70% of their CVEs were due to memory errors.

I kind of wanted to downvote you for being non-constructive, but instead, I'll ask you a question to try to make this a concrete discussion. Can you give a concrete example of "no language can even come close to doing what C can"?

Based upon community responses (and someone from the organization being in the Slack group and responding as well), we ended up going with SearchStax.

I work at a state university (with the associated purchasing ... issues :)) and we had some staffing issues, which they were very accommodating of from initial quote to subscription.

If we end up running into issues as/if we expand our usage (we're essentially only using Solr for the mandatory bits) I'll keep Coveo in mind. :)
Also how do you prove integrity of your backups if you don’t have certainty of initial perhaps temporarily dormant breach? I mean your backups to tape could still have bad data.
Creating Physical Objects with Racket (Phil Hagelberg, RacketCon 2019)
> Conservative, anti-Communist Poland leads the pack: only 9% Poles “have confidence” in the leadership of President Xi. 11% of Greeks, 14% of Italians and 15% of Spaniards. That says something about Europe, as even in Canada, the number is 42%, and in the United States – 39%.

To me it seems like list of European countries where people generally do not have much trust in politicians and the state.

As for Poland - we have lived through and experienced communism ourselves for 50 years. Thanks, not again.

Also translations are horrible for such a big project. “Like” for me (danish) is translated to something like “send a heart” but even more gibberish.

Notifications are also wonky.
I'm over 6' tall, upper 30s age, and have never had a back problem. I also squat and deadlift frequently, which a lot of people don't do.
I’ve become a recent convert to Envy. They seem more robust than Fuji and taste at least as good. With other varieties, I’d always go though a cycle where I liked them for a few weeks, then got a few gross ones and I’d give them up for a few weeks, and repeat. I haven’t had a gross Envy yet despite going for several months. The price is decent too!
If you're willing to put in a little work, Seafile fits the bill. For less than 5 users, you can access the "professional" version for free.

I run it on a cheap Azure VM, backed with with Azure blob storage. It's $15/m for "cool" tier storage (not too far off your target), or $1/m for the "archive" tier.

Unlike Dropbox etc, you can also sync files from anywhere on any disk - you're not limited to a single "Dropbox" folder.

You get a nice web UI that let's you upload/download from there if you want, and you can also stuff with others if you want.

Right - the whole point of having computers / machines is to reliably and efficiently do things that humans are bad at doing at scale. I honestly don't understand people who are excited about programming and also excited about doing things by hand that computers can do better and faster.

Again, subjective. I enjoyed Breaking Bad, but did not enjoy GoT. Other people liked the vice-versa. Other people liked neither.

Management isn't dumb. They understand the worker-employer balance at play. They're not going to come out directly and say they're doing this because they want ass-in-seats, they always have an official cover story. In this case, it's to "increase office retention".

There is no tone-deafness going on; they know exactly what it means and what they want, and how to sell it down the chain. Think of it this way, every time management tells you that there's no raise because of budget reasons, are you really going to take that at face value?

Business is business, and we are workers. If we want serious change, it's no use complaining about this... they'll do whatever anyways. We should engaging in politics, out on the streets kind of stuff.
A sales rep is not middle management.

The people in the warehouse don't report to Stanley. His job is to get sales from customers. He has no one reporting to him.

Michael is the chief clueless person in the show. Dwight and Andy are aspiring clueless.

The losers are the people who do the day-to-day work that keeps the company in business. The sociopaths are the people at the top who view the company as a board game with pawns that can be moved around or sacrificed at will.

The purpose of the clueless is to put a buffer between the sociopaths and the losers so that the sociopaths don't have to consider that their pawns are real people with real feelings and real families to take care of.

There are three classes of losers according to his system:

1. Over-performing losers, who are prime candidates for promotion to the clueless ranks

2. Average losers, who know they have a raw deal but don't have the ambition or coldness to do anything about it.

3. Under-performing losers, who are prime sociopath candidates because they have a lack of "give a damn" about what they do and are willing to push the boundaries because they know the deal is not in their favor.

Note that the over-under here is relative to ability. Jim is an under-performing loser, while still being very good at his job, because he doesn't put in his best effort.

Kevin is an average loser because even though he's not that good at his job, he's giving a good-faith effort to what he does.

Dwight is over-performing because he's always attempting to go above and beyond, even when it is inconvenient to him.
