Ask HN: What's the fastest way to get updated on what's trending on Hacker News?
I want to know apart from visiting the website quite often is there any other way to consume hacker news data as and when new things are up?

Is there any app recommendations which does help in this process?

Despite how much I love technology and innovation, that 2 minute video made me a bit nauseous. It reminded me of the last part of the Koyaanisqatsi movie.
Drivers often call you and ask you where your drop location is. Depending on your answer, they often cancel. Or worse, ask you to cancel. I've even had cancellations after I've sat in the car.
People aren't exactly buying these boards (and boards like it, such as the Raspberry Pi) to fold proteins or something.
Think to the future my friend. In time the technology will get better.
People eating lots of meat is a fairly recent thing. In many cultures meat used to be at most a once or twice a week kind of thing as opposed to a big part of one or more meals you have every day these days. E.g. traditional Italian or Indian diets do not actually include a lot of meat. It's their popularized modern variations that tend to have a lot of meat.

Insects are popular in places where meat is still relatively scarce/expensive. I'm sure it's a great source of protein if you are in need of protein and there's nothing else around. However, I prefer to eat things because they are delicious. I could probably feed myself on a shoe string budget by giving up most of the things I enjoy eating/drinking. But why would I want to?

The trick is going to be feeding 11 Billion people in a way that is actually enjoyable. Insects are going to be a hard sell to someone who can afford a steak. On the other hand, shrimps, lobsters, etc. are just under water insects (or at least closely related). I don't particularly enjoy them but for lots of people they are kind of a delicacy and a completely normal part of their diet. A lot of these kind of things are learned behavior.

Science giving us options is a good thing. But I'd say they need to focus more on the eating experience than on just the protein content/nutritional value. Things like texture, juiciness, umami, maillard reaction etc. All the reasons people like steaks basically. The kind of things that get foodies excited.
> What do you do when highly wealthy people buy property and then never sell?

Tax them. Inefficient use of land is a good sign that the property tax is too low. If the government charged a property tax rate that roughly matched the property value increase, there would be no gain just by sitting on the property. You'd have to put the land to productive use to actually make a profit.

How do you create an image for LXC?

> Or -- much better -- use DoT instead of DoH so port 443 isn't getting misused for DNS.

DNS over TLS has other issues. There's a nice comparison there https://dnscrypt.info/faq/ I have been using local resolver on 53, that forwards all requests from my LAN into DNSCrypt (and sends that over a VPN tunnel). That way I maintain privacy, and decentralization as well as being able to simply use the DNS resolver built into my OS.

I have to wonder though with HTTP/3 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP/3 being QUIC based, will we see DNS over QUIC? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC

Seems like Firefox doesn't even support QUIC at the moment. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1158011

I was going to suggest the Commodore64, which I'd hope would be at minimum twice as slow as an iPad
IPsec worked best for me too, until recently. Suddenly, I couldn’t send e-mail while on VPN, but I could when I was off VPN. I did an nmap of the mail server provided by my ISP, and ports 465 and 587 simply weren’t open to me while I was on VPN, but were when I was off. Oddly, when I was on VPN, that server also appeared to be open on ports 22 and 80 but not when off VPN. That machine definitely should not be open on 22 and 80, so something really strange is going on.

So, I had to find an alternative. So far, I’ve tried WireGuard, ZeroTier, and now OpenVPN via Mullvad.

I just couldn’t get reliable connectivity with WireGuard and ZeroTier on all my devices, regardless of the configuration I used. OpenVPN is known to be slow and a CPU hog, but at least it seems to work. And I’ve done speed tests with fast.com and DSLReports, and both show me getting ~20-30 mbps or faster download speeds while on VPN, and that’s not much slower than what I was getting when off VPN. And “wehe” shows that I was getting throttled by the carrier even when on WiFi, not just on cell. Now, I’m not throttled at all.

I have not yet noticed any problems with extreme battery loss or high CPU, but we will just have to wait and see.
This is usually studied as Information Asymmetry problems -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_asymmetry

In the modern info overload context, the asymmetries between people are amplified and just telling people they "should" reduce the asymmetry is not enough.

It's a very hard problem and most people don't know how to do it, or do it well enough to produce good outcomes.
Good news is as data on people's behavior and thinking pours in fields like sociology, psychology, communication, network theory etc are all coming up with experiments on how to do this stuff better.
The BCM2835 was already a few years old when the Raspberry Pi first came out, and it's still part of the Pi Zero.
> every voter should be an informed voter that can at least understand the basic impact of their actions

I get a feeling you think you are one of these voters. But are you, indeed? Are you really sure you can predict the impact of the actions in a system as complex as 300 million people inside trillion dollar economy? Before you answer that, remember that many people with advanced degrees tried and failed to predict things about economy, and even more people with advanced degrees are in constant and complete disagreement about what would be effect of that or this policy and what should be done to achieve this or that effect. And "unintended consequences" appears in virtually every article describing the aftermath of any serious government decision. If all those people aren't really able to figure out how things work, are you confident you are?

> should at least be able to pass an ECON101 test

Why ECON101? That course probably provides very basic knowledge (depending on the curriculum) which is next to useless when dealing with enormous and complex systems because it ignores myriad of details. It's ok for a 101 course, but if after taking this course you think that you know enough to make informed decisions about the whole US economy, then this course actually decreased the amount of your actionable knowledge. And yes, voting is making decisions about the whole US economy, ultimately.

> I would really prefer a local, national, geo-political, basic law, and economics (including some light math) test as a pre-requisite for being able to vote

Are you sure you would pass? What if I will be writing the test and make every effort to make you not pass (you don't think politicians would ignore an opportunity as juicy as disenfranchasing a huge number of their opponents' base?)?

You understand also that making decisions for people that can not vote is the reverse of what representative democracy is, and a just cause for rebellion? If any situation justifies violent overthrowing of a government, it is a situation where the government denies participation in vote to a class of citizens which committed no crime, did nothing wrong but failed to satisfy an arbitrary criteria somebody instituted to not let them vote because they didn't like what they might choose. Who would consider such a government a legitimate one? You probably wouldn't, if you were one of the disenfranchised people. But somehow nobody thinks they will fail the test.
In Australia I have always respectfully told the truth. It is no secret some companies have terrible management and IMO It can come across well to the type of employers you might want to work for. In this situation I might say something like - "Well I had some great ideas on ways that we might improve our technology stack but unfortunately the manager there seemed threatened by my ideas and shot them down without further discussion. In the end this friction seems to have lead to them deciding to let me go. I learnt a lot from my time there and look forward thriving in a more constructive environment!"

Why should I care about the woes of landlords as opposed to renters?
The top 0.1% very much enjoy their iphones, yachts, entertainment options, and the other products of a strong economy. They don't have much incentive to tear it all down.

Automation has overall improved quality of life significantly. We can now grow so much food that we can easily feed the world many times over. Clothing has become so cheap that many items are practically free. And trips around the world are no longer accessible to only that top 0.1-1%. It's not all gloom and doom.

> Actually, I have a wild fantasy. I build a startup like Lambda School but it is not supervised. So I give money to motivated students. This money cover their living cost for 2 or 3 years, internet, and a decent laptop. They have to spend 10 hours per day, 6 days per week to learn CS. After finishing the study, they can repay back my money with some interest (capped to a number) only if they find a proper job.

That was exactly the notion of modern labor, in Y Combinator last year. It lasted six months until it learned that teaching yourself CS is much more difficult than it sounds, almost everyone had given up, then they pivoted.

There's a similar pattern in rust:

fn loop(a: &[u8]) {
assert!(a.len >= 20);
for x in (0..20) {
let y = a[i];
//Do something with y
}
}

Adding the assert before the loop will remove the bounds checks happening on each iteration.
Downvoters should actually explain why they think this comment doesn't add value or violate guidelines rather than just get butthurt about it and react. How typical.
I suppose if people suffer less and love more, they reproduce more. I believe the world can sustain many times more people than it currently does, but only if we spread out. Cities are not good places for people who can't sustain it.
C absolutely has them, you can opt out of aliasing on an individual basis but aliasing flaws are the default.

So much so that rustc regularly has to disable their noalias annotations because its pervasive noaliasing exercises rarely used LLVM paths and leads to miscompilation. Outputting noalias is currently disabled again in IR generation[0][1].

Note from downthread comments in [1] that it's completely possible to create valid C code which miscompiles on both GCC and LLVM (though GCC has been fixed since), it's just unlikely that a regular C dev would write the mix of unrolled loops, inlined functions and restrict annotations which triggers the issue.

Neat business, do you use twillio elixir api?

You're missing a trick I think ... Why not do an IKEA style build-it-yourself burger operation, where food is cooked and deposited into a box with how-to-build-your-burger instructions printed on top. The perfect personalised burger experience! We might even get websites that sell McD hacks that you can add to your self build burger experience!

I mean, what is the real MVP for McD? It's sourcing, uni-forming, storing and then cooking food. Assembly doesn't really need to be part of it.
> It doesn't "cheat"; the semantics of the C standard library are just as much a part of the language as the rest.

As I read K&R, strcpy, etc., where there, in a library of external functions, as a convenience and optional for the user, and NOT part of the definition of the C language. Your YMMV.

The situation definitely is "cheating": In K&R,
strcpy is clearly, syntax, semantics, original implementation, an external library function. K&R has the definition of the language. One of the most important parts of C is that it doesn't change. It was clear in K&R that strcpy could be implemented by any user in their own external code.

So, a compiler that implements strcpy with its own in-line, not with external names, code is cheating on the language definition.

C as in K&R was designed to run in a DEC computer with 8 KB of main memory. So, the K&R definition of C was primitive.

Since strings in C as in K&R are so primitive, really a disaster, a situation well understood when K&R was written, some programmers might have done a much better string implementation via external function calls. So, given some old C code, they could have linked in their own external calls not mentioned in K&R and for parts of the old code that called strcpy linked in their own version of that function that worked with the new string functionality. All to have been expected.

So, some compiler writers have gotten more performance from C by cheating some on the language and put in compiler options to justify the cheating.

With this cheating, the compiler writers are
making my main point: Functionality defined in the language and implemented in the compiler via in-line code can be faster than functionality implemented in external function calls. That is, the more recent C compiler writers so strongly agreed with this point that they cheated on the language definition to get the gains. This point was made very clearly by IBM as they pointed out that the string functionality in the PL/I language and the IBM compilers was faster than the many Fortran string packages implemented by external functions.

Being faster than K&R style C is easy. So, here I was struck by the point that Rust is not always a LOT faster than C, that is, K&R C. But, maybe Rust IS a lot faster than C with a compiler that does no cheating!
Lots have people have talked about how to conduct yourself. With regard to references, I'm not sure if this is right for your situation, but consider the following:

If you got on with the CTO, I would reach out to them and ask if they could be your reference. Since they outrank your manager, most companies will happily take a reference from them, especially if you worked with them directly a bit.

It might be a tricky political conversation, but if you suggest that you were disappointed how things ended, and you know how sometimes your manager can, how shall we say, put things in a negative light, they really ought to be willing.

(If you're somewhere with labour laws, consider talking to a lawyer, and be willing to threaten to get a good reference and a resignation, not a firing.)

Any new company, just give the CTO as the reference. If asked about it, just say something like they were best placed to assess you during your time at the company where you worked with a variety of people.
That’s about as corporate-speak blasé as you can get for a hidden message. Impressive work.

„The atrophy [of the thymus] is due to the increased circulating level of sex hormones, and chemical or physical castration of an adult results in the thymus increasing in size and activity.“ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymus )

So the study might simply have show, that by decreasing sex hormones the thymus is stimulated to grow. But the side effects of no sex hormones might be much greater than the advantages of a younger immune system.
Just sell your house without a broker. No one is forcing you to use one. But there are a few caveats, the big one is not being in the MLS system, so buyers may never know about your house. Also, other brokers will not tell their buyers about your house. But if you're not in a rush to sell your house, try it out for a few weeks to see if you can get a buyer.
I don't see why it's that surprising. We've been stuck on 1Gbps for the better part of 20 years. What's surprising to me is that wired networking was sorta left behind the tech wave, sure 10Gbps exists but it's still not that affordable or widespread.
Spaced repetition does not necessitate spending few hours learning per day. That’s not what the research says at all.
Honestly, I made that comment without fully thinking through how to implement my suggestion, and now I realize that I've stumped myself. However, let me explain what I meant anyway:

First of all, you're right that this won't really impact your answer at insignificant fractions of light speed. You mentioned that using the 4.72% growth rate, the equation tells you to wait until you've passed the speed of light, and I thought it might be interesting to more accurately model the energy required at relativistic speeds.

So the same way that you used the classical mechanics equation for kinetic energy, E=mv^2/2, ignoring mass and solving for v, to get v=sqrt(2E) and approximating to v=sqrt(E), I thought you could manipulate the relativistic equation similarly.

Now, having gotten a solution from WA, I'm starting to think that I overestimated the effect on accuracy that changing the equation would have. I want to approximate the solution by ignoring some terms or changing an nE to an E^2 or something, but I think that might negate any gain in accuracy.

So to answer your questions more directly, I was attempting to address the error you get when the calculation tells you to wait until you can travel above or near the speed of light, and I only included mass in my equation to try to communicate it to you more accurately, with the assumption that when actually using it you would ignore the mass.

Anyway, I hope I at least clarified my previous comment, even if it turned out not to be very useful! If anyone has a better understanding of how to better model relativistic speeds I'd love to hear their explanation.
Pam and Angela from The Office have a podcast together
You're essentially right. The grandparent may be meaning that they're using a lot of raw pointers (which requires unsafe), and raw pointers means less aliasing information, and so less precise optimisations. This can affect bounds checks, because a raw pointer could potentially alias the length field of a slice or vector, and so LLVM has to be conservative around writes to them.
restrict is so rarely used that optimizations based on non-aliasing data are broken in both major compilers. A fact which has bitten Rust repeatedly.

I'm not following you... What did you believe, and what has it changed to?
Thanks CrazyStat. "sigma and mu are independent". But "s and x-bar are independent" is an assumption which does not hold in practice. It should also be noted that X and x are different. I defined p(x|mu) to be a Normal distribution but p(X|mu) was never defined to be normal.

However, I did make a mistake, I should have said p(x-bar|mu), instead of p(X|mu), follows normal distribution, when N->infty. This means that p(x-bar|mu) only approximates normal distribution but it will never be the exact normal distribution. This also matches the conclusion from central limit theorem.

I am going to fix the "p(x-bar|mu)" typo. Thanks for the discussion.
