So, if you explore the site a bit more, you'll come across a page on racial issues, which among other things includes this fun tidbit:

> Apes, on the contrary, can grasp in this way with the hind-foot as well as the fore-foot, and were therefore regarded as four-handed. Many tribes, however, among the lower races of men, especially many negro tribes, use the foot in the same way as the hand.

Can you explain to me why they'd include such a "fact"?

To be fair, the actual "fact" they claim is that an evolutionary biologist in the 1800s said that, but 1800s evolutionary biologists said many things, so why include that statement specifically as a fact? Especially as I'm sure if I asked them, they'd claim not to endorse such views. But if they don't endorse those views, why bring that fact to the forefront, instead of some other?
> I'm never going to be an attractive man, so I'll never have love, or a wife and kids.

This pops out to me.

I don't know your full circumstances but I don't think this is true.

If we focus only on the attractiveness aspect: I've known plenty of people of both genders who I thought were "unattractive" people (a very subjective term!) and they were partnered. If your desire is to find a partner, don't give up on it or consider it an inevitable failure! You are worthy.

Then it makes me consider if there's some other health issue preventing finding a partner or having a kid? Surely, a few of those exist, and I can imagine them being very sad.

Sending the post-work population to a nice quiet farm upstate doesn't sound so bad to me...

It's hard for me to have much sympathy for the dream of keeping your home forever when the great majority of people I know have basically no hope of ever owning a home in the area.
When you put it that way, the solution is obvious - the state government needs to spend less money.

Note well: I said "obvious", not "easy" or even "politically possible". But I think it's useful to note that, in important ways, California is doing this to itself.

I like my tiling WM because I use it without a Desktop Environment. DEs are bloat.

I use my tiling WM with "focus follows mouse" because even though I use the keyboard "exclusively", being able to fling the cursor across the screen with your palm (from trackpad) and highlight a window without clicking is great.

My remote idler and my daily driver laptops have 512MB and 1GB of RAM, respectively. I've used these every day for 8 years. If I installed a fuller-featured DE\WM either would be downright unusable.
Thank you for the appreciation, I appreciate it :) Please feel free to take it and create some cool Alexa thing with it... that'd be awesome.

For obvious reasons, the US government was never an authorized CA in firefox, and the application to be put on the list of trusted CAs was denied. The DoD root cert (for .mil addresses) is similarly distrusted. AFAIK most other browsers operate similarly. If you so desire, you can simply add the FCPCA and DoD certs to your trust store. Or... you know.. not.

It clearly is a Western Slavonic language relexified into Romance - the orthography has the characteristic Slavic 1 symbol/1 sound and is distinctly Hussite (ie accents on a short Latin). The core case system has 4 cases (down from the 6/7 of Polish) - except with remnants of more in the Correlatives.

Modern Hebrew - created by a colleague of Zamenhof is also a Western Slavonic - except relexified into Semintic (so I believe - I have no Hebrew).

It all makes the Western Slavonics a super interesting language group...
I seem to recall at least one Logo I used as a kid had an "advanced mode" that in hindsight boiled down to S-Expressions and several more Lisp functions added to its standard library. Wish I could recall which Logo that was. Maybe one of the later LCSI builds (Apple Logo or IBM Logo), but possibly some version of Lego's TC Logo?
A couple years ago, I sat down to check out Esperanto the same way that any of us programming language nerds check out another programming language.

Polyglot Benny Lewis recommends that if you don't know any foreign language, the best place to start is Esperanto, because it's so easy. See https://www.fluentin3months.com/2-weeks-of-esperanto/

I intended to give it about an hour, one Sunday, so I sat down in my chair at 4pm, and went to the most recommended tutorial:

https://lernu.net/

I had so many “whoa!” and “wow!” and “this is amazing!” moments while checking it out that I didn't get out of my chair until almost midnight. I didn't even notice the house had grown dark around me.

It's a really fun, simple, easy language to learn. I ended up learning it for six months to a conversational level. I found someone fluent in https://www.italki.com/ and we talked by Skype for three hours per week. I used Anki flashcards to memorize vocabulary. I slowly read a few books in Esperanto.

After six months, I attended the international Esperanto conference in Seoul, Korea, and spoke only Esperanto for a few days. I was glad I was doing it, and somewhat glad I did it, but in hindsight maybe should have used that time to learn Mandarin or another language where I can communicate with people that don't speak English.

Still, I miss it. Esperanto is wonderfully designed. I highly recommend anyone curious go to https://lernu.net/ and work their way through the course there, even if that's all you do.
This is basically Cyclone, a "dialect" of C (but, effectively, its own language) which was a major influence on Rust. See https://cyclone.thelanguage.org/ and http://www.cs.umd.edu/~mwh/papers/cyclone-cuj.pdf for details. Cyclone primarily provides memory safety (bounds-checked pointer dereferences, lifetimes) and also provides things like type-safe tagged unions.

But Cyclone is a separate language (and so is Rust) because in order for memory or type safety to be useful, you need to carry information that cannot be represented in the C type system. The only information a C pointer carries, besides the pointer address, is the C type. You can't have it carry a lifetime, a bound, or a type that isn't a valid C type. So you lose your safety properties at the boundary between C and Cyclone/Rust. You can't pass a tagged union from Cyclone/Rust into C, because the C compiler isn't going to enforce that C code updates the tag properly - if it did, it would start rejecting valid C code. At that point it's just a matter of style/taste whether you have a language that looks like C but isn't (Cyclone) or looks less like C (Rust).

(Come to think of it, C++ also has the same property of being built from C and being mostly backwards-compatible, but being a separate language.)

Both Rust and Cyclone make it easy to call into C for interoperating with existing code, even though such calls cannot be guaranteed safe at the language level. So it's quite feasible to take a large C project and start converting parts of the code to Rust one at a time, ensuring that you can maintain safety within the parts that you've already converted. (Rust in particular is the unique memory-safe language at the intersection of "actively developed and popular" and "can be used as a drop-in replacement for C and export C-compatible binary interfaces back to any calling code, without overhead" - there are a number of neat languages, not just Cyclone, if you don't have the former requirement, and there are a number of great languages like Go or Java if you don't have the latter requirement.)

>Does this mean that the use of the language is more important than the language itself?

The answer is a resounding yes. C became popular because it is the native language of Unix. It was Rails that made Ruby popular. JavaScript is popular because it is implemented by all the browsers. Objective-C became popular because of iOS, and similarly with Swift. Visual Basic was one of the most popular languages for a time because it made Windows GUI programming easier. The ecosystem and use of a language is far more important than the language itself.
That premise only holds water if you ignore the bottom 50% of Europe, which includes Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, Belarus, etc.

Between Russia and Ukraine there are 190 million people. The bottom half of those people are living in third world conditions. Russia is Europe's largest nation.

In the villages of Western Russia, you've got a lack of access to even basic medical supplies. Doctors are earning $200-$300 per month, they're aging out of the system, and they can't find nurses period -

Are you proposing that there is something safer than your house to put your savings in that would either allow you to outpace property taxes if prop 13 was abolished, or trivially move if it were?

It’s not meaningful to say something is a bad strategy if you can’t articulate an alternative.
Comparing it to social credit is disingenuous even though there are real problems with existing and proposed ratings and their applications.

Social Credit is a wrong-headed authoritarian tool of control that is enforced and has jack and shit to do with actual creditworthiness. It only "works" from being pressures because otherwise the companies shouldn't give a shit if they want to optimize for profits. If you tried to sell a loan evaluation system for banks based upon how they treated their parents in the US or Europe they would tell you to not waste their time again.

There are problems with the current scoring systems of course - the burden of proof for identity theft is utterly backwards, credit scores have major "how good of a cash cow are you" aspects mixed in to what should be pure reliability, and idiots in recruiting use it for employement evaluation when it is utterly irrelevant.

Even if the system winds up unjust and stupid there are large differences - the comparison isn't helpful.

Yes, absolutely. What you fail to realise is that I'd be praising the art, not the artist. I don't believe this makes me a hypocrite, I think this makes me objective. Praising a piece of art on its own merits in no way condones unrelated character traits of the artist.

I don't think this is about lost sales from the small amount of people who buy both the audio-book and e-book. I think that publishers are just using this new feature to pressure Amazon into paying them more for the audio-book licensing,.
For objects with trivial constructors and destructors, that's certainly a possibility. But anything with non-trivial move constructor or destructor, e.g. anything that allocates memory, is going to be much harder to optimise in C++.

The problem is, "moving" a C++ object means executing an arbitrary function, which at the very least needs to put the object to a "do nothing on destruction" state. The moved-from object still exists and has to have its destructor run (which is also an arbitrary function). In Rust, even an unoptimised move is just a bitwise copy, and the moved-from object doesn't need a destructor run because its lifetime ends completely when it is moved from.

To clarify, the exhaustion doctrine allows the owner of the licensed work (ebook, etc) to access/display/use the work except as disallowed by the license.

This includes viewing it on a computer monitor. It's irrelevant that the computer monitor maker does not have a license to the work, since the viewer does.

In the case of the audiobook speech-to-text argument: the licensee has a license to the audiobook but not the prose version of the work, which is a legally distinct creation under many decades of international and domestic IP law.

So Amazon or the customer needs to have the license to the prose work for speech-to-text to be defensible, but neither do.

Ask HN: I am looking for a C and Assembly mentor
I am a college student trying to learn low-level CS concepts, such as bit manipulation, memory and runtime performance, code compilation techniques, etc. for a CS course I will be taking in the fall. I already plan on attending office hours and taking advantage of online resources such as Stack Overflow. However, I learn best via 1:1 tutoring so I am trying to find someone I can meet, either online or preferably, in person who I can work with. However, I am having some difficulty finding someone who is 1) extremely knowledgeable in this area of CS and 2) would take the time to meet up with me. I find this website invaluable and was hoping that perhaps someone reading this would be interested in my offer, or at least would know someone who might be interested. However, beyond HN, what would be the most efficient way to go about searching for this type of tutor? What other resources am I not considering? How else can I go about learning about low-level machine code?

Some more information: I live near Mountain View and am free in the afternoons to meet-up, and I will also pay a generous amount as well for anyone who is an expert in these areas. For those interested, please feel free to message me - my email is provided in my profile.

Not arguing about the quality of meat, but how these organizations source their meats are also an important differentiation. Sure, maybe it is 100% chicken meat, but I don't particularly want to eat meat from animals that were essentially tortured and abused their entire lives, and I imagine that has some kind of negative affect on the quality/healthfulness. KFC has been accused of animal cruelty multiple times, and the videos of the factory farms they source meats from are pretty disgustingly shocking.
I had a system boot loop on a Intel core-i system because a microcode update "disallowed" overclocking (this happened well before the spectre/meltdown debacle).

False. Medicaid eligibility requirements vary by state. In Mississippi, for example, they cover children and pregnant women at roughly the same income level as other states... but the parents of those children aren't covered if the household makes more than $227/mo (+78/mo for each additional household member).

If you don't have children? No coverage unless you're in a very specific category (disabled, covered by medicare, etc)... no matter how poor and destitute you are.

Missouri: no medicaid if you aren't disabled or have children (and you're below 381/mo for a family of 3):

History is a never ending see-saw, and we are now sawing back towards protectionism, big government, and less freedoms for the individual.

The reason we are moving back toward regulation is that we forgot how irresponsible and destructive corporations can be when they are underregulated. The notion that as long as people can express their preference by buying stuff no regulation is necessary is a libertarian fantasy, completely unsupported by the historical record. The reality is that as corporate power and reach increase, corporations cause more and more destruction when left to short-term profit motive as their only control system. Corporations are all publicly chartered, and their continued existence should always be conditional on a broader conception of the public good than can be captured in a balance sheet.
> Prop 13 was a reaction against confiscatory taxes that broke an important social contract.

> The contract: If you save, invest, and pay off your home mortgage so that you own it free and clear, later in life when you are retired and living on a fixed income no one can come along and confiscate the property that you bought and paid for fair and square.

That doesn't explain why Prop 13 applies to commercial, industrial, and rental properties.
Specifically, you could use a reverse mortgage to pay property tax. A similar solution that has been proposed is that unpaid property taxes could accumulate as a lien and thus be paid when the house is sold.
