Would you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News? You've been doing it a lot, and that's not cool.

I get that you're frustrated by the comments that appear here on China, but it's not ok to respond by making the site worse. The skew here follows from the fact that the community, while international, is mostly Western. Therefore it reflects Western perspectives. Being in a minority position makes it tempting to lash out against the majority, but doing that breaks the site guidelines and just reinforces the imbalance. What's helpful, if you want to, is to provide a different perspective in a neutral, factual way.

Incredible work.

Back in the 90's I traded with TradeStation, yes, always running my various algo's on "historical data" - - - which was ALWAYS just curve fitting.

I once had formula that made ton's of $$$$ on 4 years of backtested historical data, S&P futures, but once I started paper trading it it failed within one month.
You're reading too much into it - it's just a funny/relaxed/informal way of signing off.
iMessage is far more reliable, has richer features, never needs app updates (bc they come with the OS), E2E by default, and media attachments send faster and more reliably than SMS.

I don't blame them. SMS is terrible. And most of the other apps suck or are from untrustworthy companies.

Apple's being rewarded for good behavior.
I sometimes go between Inkscape and Blender with that exact process. I could do it all in Blender, but I am used to Inkscape for 2d curve drawing.
He openly states he has no trouble with interest from investors: https://www.toptal.com/investors

And I can't see why his existing investors wouldn't be interested - although they would perhaps take more care with the terms.

His ethics don't seem to be weird, compared against stories about some other founders.

I can't see why you make predictions about how he should act or how VCs would act (what's your expertise?)
I think the point is that "colored" functions only existed because Rust did not previously have async support. Now that it has async support, new code can be one color: async, while maintaining ergonomics.

Maybe new code will be exclusively async and existing code will switch over.

> async-std has the equivalent of std::net::TcpListener, however it does not appear to actually impl AsyncRead / AsyncWrite. So as of now you can't do anything with it. TcpStream does impl them, at least.

It does implement AsyncRead and Write, because anything with `Read` and `Write` implements it: https://docs.rs/async-std/0.99.3/async_std/io/trait.Read.htm... (that's sadly a little backwards by rustdoc)

The problem is that tokio has their _own_ versions of the AsyncRead and Write traits.

Hyper can best be used with `async_std` through `surf`: https://github.com/rustasync/surf
>Your comment is so full of fallacies it isn't even worth a reply.

And yet here you are.

>I've actually provided sources, and discussion points.

You provided a book review. For the sake of civility I'm going to assume you've actually read the book.

But since you mentioned it, here are some articles [0,1] claiming that deplatforming actually does work to prevent the spread of hate speech[0] and of course the inevitable HN thread[2].

I actually do sympathize with the free speech position, I just don't believe that unfettered free speech is particularly effective at combating extremism. The web is saturated with arguments against hate speech, fake news and bullshit, yet all of it flourishes, and they flourish most strongly on platforms that censor the least.

I haven't actually seen a credible defense of the premise that the government being able to censor hate speech is worse than the effect of unchecked hate speech itself, that seems to be taken for granted by free speech advocates, it's one of those things you're not allowed to question.

But you're clearly triggered so I won't bother to continue.

Of course it might just be that we're seeing it from the reverse direction. (Unlikely though, IMHO)

Reverse direction? The universe is curved. Eventually you get back to your starting place. To use an Earthly analogy, Chicago is roughly 500 miles WEST of New York, but it's nearly 25,000 miles EAST of New York.
You're a good sport.

I was mainly trying to predict and counteract a cost of living rebuttal.

I need to make $200,000+ per year for 2+ years, OR have $1 million in assets not including my house, just to be able to attempt joining the capital class in a private equity homerun. Otherwise I'm stuck with shitty common stock options (except where you live), public markets and bitcoin. Cost of living reduction means nothing to this reality. Only coastal companies are going to pay coastal employees this much without hemming and hawing and making you jump through a bunch of hoops to prove you are so exceptional.

Places aren't going to prevent the brain drain from anyone that understands that. All they do is get selective evolution of people who are stuck due to chronic problem (financial, health, likely both over time) of their own or their loved ones.

I'm saying you should just disengage, and not stress yourself out by overthinking and overreacting. Your life will be simpler and better for doing so. :)
I am lost at how we as a society are so quick to attack someone who has a difference in opinion. Just because someone doesn't agree with your solution, it doesn't mean they are opposed to resolving the problem.

The OP, in my opinion, does have a lot of internal anger they need to resolve. e.g., how he expresses clenching his fist and not feeding into the rage.

After reading the memo, it's my personal opinion the OP has a lot of unresolved issues and should consider speaking to a therapist. I feel like they are projecting their hate those nearby him. That's unhealthy and also very counterproductive.

I genuinely worry that socially, people are overly sensitive, and it's hurting social progress. Instead of people learning to communicate with one another, they label the "opposition". Instead of understanding someone's perspective, they project onto them what they want to "fight against."

Now is this a direct result of social behaviors bleeding into "real-world" interactions?

I don't blame Google at all. I blame the behavior of the OP and his lack of effort to communicate with his peers in a mature, healthy, and positive way. It just feels like he doesn't care to understand the position of those around him. Instead, he wants everyone just to accept his perspective.

All this being said, it's time for people to cut back on social media. I had to do that because it's too easy to get sucked into arguments with angry people. It's also easy and honestly fun to insult and trigger pointless arguments to entertain yourself. Regardless, it's unhealthy.
> The mechanism is that the propensity to have more children is partly genetic. So as people with those genes out-breed the rest of the population, those genes come to predominate in the population. Thus overcoming the demographic transition.

Is this entirely a genetic thing or are there also cultural components? I’ve long entertained a crackpot theory that North America will be almost entirely Mormon or Roman Catholic in 200 years, partially for this reason. The only reservation being that secular-humanist culture seems to convert people from more traditional cultures even faster than they reproduce....
That's for unencrypted credentials captured going across the wire by the ops team. That's to highlight insecure comms not hack people.

There was an instance where someone used a wifi pineapple 0day to brick pineapples, which are considered script kiddie tools in many circles.

Generally nobody will waste a valuable 0day at defcon to attack a personal device. If you get popped it's probably because you're running known vulnerable software.

I'm seeing significant migration to basically any liberal city with a decent quality of life. I've lost friends to Boulder, Toronto, Boston, Raleigh/Durham, Seattle, and Sydney (Australia).
Before moving to the EU I mostly used Hangouts/SMS, but now that I'm back in the US I use a mixture of Hangouts/WhatsApp. I knew a few people in school with iPhones but only a few of them used iMessage over Hangouts.

I think the most popular apps in school for group messages were apps specifically for group messaging, and I can't even remember the names of any because they were so short-lived. The one I used most had a blue speech bubble icon with a # in the middle. I'd put big money that Facebook Messenger fills that void now.

My guess is the majority of SMS usage in the US nowadays is just 2fa and automated messages, with the occasional text to an acquaintance until you add them somewhere else.

The evidence is yes. Assuming the developing world also provides access to birth control, allows women to access education and jobs, etc. then it seems that cultures naturally reach a point where the birthrate lowers.
> Also, in case you were concerned for the safety of the penguins like me, they don’t weigh enough to trigger the mines so they walk over them all the time without issue.

Sounds like the perfect setup for penguins then - hard(er) for humans to destroy your nests if they can't safely walk over to them. Sort of like Chernobyl.

> I don't blame Google at all. I blame the behavior of the OP and his lack of effort to communicate with his peers in a mature, healthy, and positive way.

What's mature, healthy, and positive? Maybe it's society that is the failure? Maybe the unending docility of modern life is creating emotional volcanoes. Maybe some people like hostility, and maybe some people like confrontation. Not everyone and everything needs to be 'nice'; this is an ideal that needs to die.
Here's an example of something really adorable made collaboratively by two people. The first person sent the first part to the second person, who used the Doodle-on-Doodle feature to add to it and make an even cuter story out of it.

I think 9× is the best speed to watch it at. (I'm still thinking of adding a way for the author of a Doodle to change its default speed.)
And if you do manage, it's granting the ability to intercept/modify traffic, right?

If so, this won't lead to RCE on a host mobile unless other exploits are used. There's probably some interesting stuff that can be done against shitty IOT-type devices, but they should be assumed vulnerable anyway...
There is an art culture in the Bay Area and not everyone likes hip hop or country culture either.
Seems like most write-ups on Erlang now come via its relation to Elixir. Every other section manages to include an Elixir contrast.

There's a lot of bad faith on both sides there.

The embodied carbon footprint of just the concrete for a conventional nuclear plant is truly breathtaking.

And there are designs that use bodies of water for cooling and cause thermal pollution problems. Clinton power plant, for example, made the lake unfit for recreation due to an amoeba that causes encephalitis. The locals tried for decades to block that getting built and it was a huge case of 'I told you so.'
Maybe casual readers will find new things here, but if your target audience is people in energy industry, everyone is already deluged all day long with Reuters and Bloomberg articles. Sorry, but I must say there was nothing in the front page+ that looked unique or novel. Digging up truly niche or obscure news that is closer to being a primary source than a commentary on markets would have more unique value.
> SF is popular because the weather is incredible

Well.. it's more like the weather is constant. It's always foggy, with random periods where the "marine layer" is not present.

However, drive 30 minutes and you can get away from the annoying fog.
>It does implement AsyncRead and Write, because anything with `Read` and `Write` implements it: https://docs.rs/async-std/0.99.3/async_std/io/trait.Read.htm... (that's sadly a little backwards by rustdoc)

>impl<T: AsyncRead + Unpin + ?Sized> Read for T {

That's saying that anything that impls futures::AsyncRead impls async_std::io::Read. async_std::net::TcpListener does not impl AsyncRead. (Compare with TcpStream and File which do.)

>Hyper can best be used with `async_std` through `surf`: https://github.com/rustasync/surf

Sure. You also don't need surf since you can directly use futures's compat executor wrapper around tokio's. The point is that you can't use stuff like hyper without the tokio executor being involved.
That wasn't the point. The point was, contrary to your claims, CNNs are indeed all about statistical correlation.
> Is this author suggesting that you couldn't have made money by shorting Enron stocks milliseconds after the scandal was made public?

No, he's claiming that any of the actual published systems, if they would correctly have made money on that one special event, would not do so on enough other events to make up for those they would lose money on plus transaction costs on all the trades they would make to actually beat a broad market index.

It's pretty easy to (with hindsight) design a system that would make money on Enron or any other isolated event. It's harder to build a system that will consistently beat the market on future events that it's not designed against.
I think I've seen a few on HN over the years.

Regardless, absolutely terrible experience here myself.
Are we sure this is true? I would be curious to see the current conviction ratio (convicted / arrested) for driving while impaired by alcohol vs marijuana. If there is a lower conviction rate for marijuana currently, you might be right... but it could be that courts simply choose to believe the cops word when there is no hard evidence.
> I can't help but feel like the continuing rise of situations like this will end up in a return to a professionalized work environment, one in which sociopolitical and personal opinions are kept to oneself and the focus is purely on the work.

We tried this already. People just kept moving the goal posts. Political correctness and microaggressions. The battle is never over because some people refuse to quit fighting it.
> Because with sufficiently complicated UI you will simply at some point have to start writing abstractions and libraries to help you handle all that mess, and then you'll basically end up building a good part of those "thousands of dependencies" yourself - reinventing the wheel.

And oh lord have I seen the result of these home brew “not a framework but actually is a framework” frameworks. They are all a rats nest nightmare for anybody but the original developer to work on.

The first thing that happens when the original developer moves on is the whole thing gets rewritten using the framework du joir.
I think one of Rails' biggest strengths is:

> In fact, GitHub, Shopify, and Basecamp, as well as plenty of other companies and applications, have been running the pre-release version of Rails 6 for months and months in production.

Test suites are nice and all but nothing beats having tons of real world production workloads thrown at something to really test it and iron out a good developer API. There's just a massive amount of confidence you have that you won't be the one having to pioneer some weird edge case bug.

Can someone list at least 1 other popular web framework that has multiple individual sites pushing billions of page views through it before it hits a stable release?
This is a disengenuous argument. Even people who genuinely like diversity are not obligated to want to live near all possible kinds of people. I like diversity, but I don't want to live next to neo-Nazis, anti-vaxxers, serial killers, etc.

> "Writing a hash table from scratch" is a programming 101 problem just slightly harder than FizzBuzz, but not by much.

No, it's bloody not.

What's your hash function? Why? What do you do on hash collisions. How many buckets and how big? Does your hash function map to identity or not? Do you exclude certain fields from hashing? How do you handle contention from multiple threads? I can go on and on.

The fact that you think writing a hash is easy betrays a stunning amount of ignorance.
Yes, if I remember correctly from an interview I saw with the founder he mentioned that the barrier to entry used to be high and that commodities markets 'used to' trend.
> but that would still remind a human viewer of the EAS tone?

That's what authorized tests are for.
This really means nothing. There are people who drive drunk all the time who can say the same, but that doesn’t mean it is not dangerous.
Actually, I'm just being dumb. TcpListener isn't supposed to impl AsyncRead / AsyncWrite in the first place. std::net's one doesn't impl Read / Write either.
As soon as people stop treating the physical layer as a security control, the better.

Encrypt your damn comms.

> Maybe it's society that is the failure?

That implies you have no self-control and require the government to tell you how to think/behave.

Who said people need to be nice? I recall me saying:

The first chart is difficult to understand because it flips the curve to preserve the parallelism between "less" and "more"... which the last chart forgoes anyway.

Also: why an "arc" as opposed to another kind of curve?
Right? Just like how you could have made money shorting Facebook right after their recent FCC fines came down. Oh wait.

To the extent that this is a conversation centered around google and other big tech companies, do you think 1/3 of FAANG employees attend church?

As someone who has attended several churches in Silicon Valley over the last decade, I would put the percentage closer to 5%.
Never thought about it, but some of the first erasers were just a sharp edged tool.
Yes I snapped mine within an hour after delivery. It may have been too tightly tensed (tho I did check with the app and it was fine), or it may have experienced stress during shipment. Whatever the case, did not instill confidence. Never rode the bike enough to have much experience with long term reliability, but found the 11-speed IGH didn’t have enough range to cover SF hills appropriately, and shifting wasn’t reliable even after tuning several times - why they chose to implement as a mechanical pulley instead of precise internal system is beyond me. Big purchase regret all around.
Then I imagine they are quite happy since their desire for less diversity would be met by (the imagined policy) excluding those who want less diversity.

Unless of course the objection is not to diversity per-se but some particular groups.

If the anti-diversity crowd are under represented in tech, it's probably for they same reason the highest productivity areas are the most liberal in their countries and formed mostly from those that left other areas.
yes exactly.

I don't know why the article title (and therefore this post's title, currently) says "House prices drop" as the article specifically says the opposite:

Java services have managed for a long time to do just fine. Usually you just have dedicated threadpools for those db/ whatever calls.

But yes, eventually, for very heavy cases (more than what I would call "high") you will want async/await.
I lived in Noe Valley for 14 years in a rent controlled apartment that quadrupled in value during that time. I was eventually evicted with an owner move-in but during that period I saw all of the useful local businesses close and be replaced with ...
1. Doctor/Dentist offices
2. Real-estate agencies
3. Banking and financial institutions
3. Doomed boutiques riding off the areas old reputation - these always closed within 6 months.
4. Expensive date restaurants or bars serving just enough food to count as a restaurant.

Off the top of my head, we lost the newspaper/magazine shop, hardware store, a few cheap restaurants, the glass blowing shop, the running store, a bunch of nice boutiques, the local butcher and most (but not all) of the businesses that made someone want to live in Noe in the first place. We gained a ton of financial and real-estate frontage (useless for day-to-day life) a couple of nice but expensive upgrades like a Whole Foods. All this money and no-one seems to actually spend it on local business, so nothing stays open for long.
you are right about the limit of ten. but it may be part of the sms specification itself. at least that’s what i remember from looking it up a couple years ago.
I agree with you. Atlanta is a really interesting, underrated city. It feels both southern and urban in ways that few other cities do. My impression is also that it has not just a lot of racial diversity, but at all economic levels. I grew up in the South in cities with many black people, but Atlanta was the first place where I got a sense of what it felt like to be around a significant number of middle-class and wealthy black people.

Problems with the surrounding culture of the state are real, though. Being in a progressive city in a regressive state sucks, because those state laws still affect you.

I didn't literally mean "How is that possible?"

I meant: is that a real thing? Is there a database binding out on crates.io that uses no_std ?
This brings an interesting point regarding reproducibility in economics. It's possible for a paper to be legit and be good science, but the moment it's published it becomes irreproducible because other actors are going to use the published approach from now on and the balance in a game theoretic way is not the same. By publishing a paper you can change the thing you are studying.
