This is amazing. LOVE how you did the Street View integration!

I think it's interesting that they say all the participants are right handed. I'm guessing left handed people (like me) would make it complicated to compare brain strcutures since the structures are cross-wired and therefore slightly different for left handed and right handed people? But not all structures are reversed.

Kind of like the medical literature focusing on using males for test studies [1] it makes me wonder if left handed people would have some kind of different result in these types of brain studies.

The paper you cite is dated 2013 and says SLR has been 3mm/year since the 1990s. It mentions the possibilities of more dramatic rises by 2100 but doesn't go into much detail.

If we're talking about a meter of SLR in the next 80 years, thats 12.5mm/year.

Nearly TWO DECADES before Boeing’s MCAS system crashed two of the plane-maker’s brand-new 737 MAX jets, Stan Sorscher knew his company’s increasingly toxic mode of operating would create a disaster of some kind. A long and proud “safety culture” was rapidly being replaced, he argued, with “a culture of financial bullshit, a culture of groupthink.” (Emphasis added).

But, the situation is that US air travel got safer during a lot of those two decades. Indeed, the two crashes world aren't enough to push air travel back two decades and safety standards and the rarity of crashes were enough catch the problem.

The 737 Max is a huge problem for Boeing in particular, creating a situation where the endgame is hard to see. But not as much for air travel generally, which continues to be cheap and safe. And Boeing made a lot of planes and lot of money in the last two decades.

Which is to say when things are "pushed to boards", it's hard to say exactly when they give out. The 737 Max system was about minimizing costs everywhere in the system - costs in testing, costs in training and costs in operation. The multilevel Rube Goldberg approach finally failed but it's had a long run, the 737 800 is a workhorse of air travel.

Still, I suppose the lesson is multilevel optimization can result in a catastrophic systems failure. There are probably much processes where this could happen - just think when all the cars are Internet connected.
You’ve never been addicted to a drug, have you.
By game programmers you probably mean AAA console game programmers. I was once one, and I know that those games have to account for every byte of memory. Garbage collection has not only cpu overhead which can be unpredictable, it also requires memory to potentially sit around unused waiting for the next cycle. Your question is what is our budget for gc in terms of cpu work and memory overhead, and the answer is zero for both.
> they'll say they have a 200us "stop the world" time, but then individual threads can still be blocked for 10ms+

As far as I know this is still true of the Go GC. Write barriers are also there and impact performance vs. a fixed size arena allocator that games often use that has basically zero cost.
> AKA: the poor and middle class get poorer and the rich get richer.

Yes, that's what I said. If the rich control apartments, they can always arrange to get richer. I cannot cheat them out of that.
Quake 3 has 230.000 lines of code. If Quake 3 is considered basic, then any studio with less than 100 developers can probably reach for C.

The Unreal Engine is far more than a modern game. You wouldn't call Clang and editor just because Vi was compiled with it.
One of them was, yes.
Such a neat idea! I wonder if you would mind a suggestion?

The bright orange color really hurts my eyes. When I open the site on either a desktop or mobile device, the entire screen is filled with bright orange with a white heading, and a bunch of white buttons with bright orange labels.

I realize that is probably the "official" HN color, but on HN it's just a tiny strip of bright orange at the top, not an entire screenful.

And on my HN, the only bright orange I see is the Y logo. A long time ago I set my "topcolor" to "d0c8b5", which makes the top bar just a darker shade of the body background. The only time I see the bright orange top bar is on a non-logged-in device. For anyone else who finds the bright orange bar unpleasant, try that topcolor setting for some eye relief.

So my suggestion is to get rid of this bright orange completely, other than perhaps a small logo. Once I scroll down to the article listings, it looks fine, it's just that top section that is hard to look at. Thanks!
What's racist about it? I chose my language pretty carefully.
Weld is a compiler/JIT/runtime though, something Rust is very well suited for, and which is very different code from data analysis/ML.

I think Julia is a more interesting language for this space, with the built in matrix support, easier prototyping, a REPL, etc...
I'm fuzzy on the particulars, but I think the big thing's that a trillion-dollar coin is a loophole to bypass Congress, allowed because Congress has already authorized the laws that contain the loophole.

Bypassing Congress seems to be the main thrust of the plan since, if Congress wanted to, they could pass whatever laws they like. This is, Congress could get a similar effect without actually printing a coin if they wanted to.

The issue seems to involve some complicated interactions. For example, Congress likely doesn't want such printing as it may weaken America's reputation for economic integrity. Also, it seems that a lot of modern politics centers around Congress having regular battles over the budget, such that breaking that paradigm would seem to shift American politics away from the current status-quo.
Yeah, there is even a whole academic-grade sociology book about this, called Moral Mazes.
IT does depend on how the USW is structured internally but its probably not the best $110 is high I am paying abut $24 for Prospect /BECTU UK as that's the main union for tech.

I live in a city of ~200k (Grand Rapids, MI). We need a few more permits than you (structural plans, foundation...), but there's nothing prohibiting DIY work. I've found the building department to be fairly DIY-friendly.
If the government failed to hold corporations that emitted greenhouse gasses accountable for their externalities then I'd say that it becomes the government's responsibility.
I use the Firefox Focus blocker on iOS and while it’s not perfect, a few minutes with it disabled is sufficient to say that “simply suck” is grossly inaccurate. It’s a good compromise for something which normal users have a hard time evaluating — 90% of the benefits with zero risk of a security compromise.
That's a good point, and my comment was intended more to point out ambiguity than to imply something specific.

Still, it doesn't really prove or disprove that the spending is going to where it does the most good.
Seems to me capital is not just ordinary resources.

More like when preservation or a positive return is intended in a businesslike situation, even though negative returns are often encountered.

Other people's money can be used to leverage some amazing outcomes.

When capitalism is dominated by greedy capitalists, basic needs are not intended to be taken care of, since no return on that type investment can be recognized.

When capitalism is dominated by benevolent capitalists, basic needs are intended to be taken care of, since huge return on that type investment can be recognized.
I take your point, it might have been interesting to talk about how a lot of relativity and quantum mechanics can be thought of in terms of propagation and destruction of information. And for many students, talking about codes is a lot more interesting than pressure gradients in ideal gasses. A missed opportunity, perhaps.
If it affects WeWork's ability to pay for maintenance and management personnel for their properties, then that would definitely hurt their tenants.
It is (or should be) read as slightly hyperbolic, as there isn't to my knowledge a language that actually works that well. I could water down my message by saying "it mostly works", but then I fail to convey the main reason why I posted in the first place.

I could also instead spend a lot of time and words to explain things about Rust's design that I presume anyone who is slightly interested in the language would already know (specifically: lack of null, strict ownership checking, having to explicitly deal with errors), in order to explain that the language succeeds at solving some of the problems it was specifically designed to solve. But then I would just be repeating things that HN readers presumably already know. Instead I can use a shortcut in my communication which is perfectly understandable if you assume minimal intelligence, and take the other person's comment in good faith.

See, by the time we've reached the bottom of this wall of text, anyone who read this far through my intentional rambling has presumably forgotten my initial point: I had a positive experience with the language.
D doesn't seem to be popular in any field, unfortunately.
The lack of exposure to role models for girls is a load of carefully crafted dishonesty. It gives the impression that role models are the reason for gender differences in inventing without actually saying that. Instead, it uses the same weasel word "can" as cosmetics advertising telling you that some chemical "can" reduce wrinkles. It also doesn't quantify the effect because that would probably be embarrassing. Of course role models will have some effect but it's not the only one - sexual dimorphism is there too and all the role models in the world won't change that. I wish people would stop lying to themselves and others about gender differences. Men and women are not cognitively equal on average. We have different strengths and weaknesses. There's nothing wrong with that. You don't have to pretend that women would be just as good as men if only society would stop misunderstanding them. It's trying to pull girls under a spell of delusion to fool them into behaving like boys, perhaps so that more of those who can do so will fulfill their potential. Why not be honest and help people understand that their own individual qualities are not the same as their group average?
I love the Street view integration, as people have already said.

However, I plugged in an address that I know will be accurate when put into Google Maps, but it put me at the generic center of my zip code. That is still close enough to figure things out, but I'm curious why an address would work on Maps, but not this site?

I’ve shipped C++ games and Unity games. I have never spent more time managing memory than in C#. You have to jump through twisted, painful hoops to avoid the GC.

Memory management is ultimately far simpler and easier in C++ than in C#.
OpenWrt run's on 4mb flash / 32mb memory devices. If you disable IPv6 / Wireless drivers and tune some more knobs you get probably something that boots a recent 4.14 kernel / musl / busybox from a 3mb squashfs and runs in 16mb memory.
Thanks! The problem is street view is expensive. I would love to load it at startup but I would run out my free Maps API quota more quickly. (That may happen anyway if this gets popular.) I'm hoping that this way people who aren't that interested bounce before loading street view so that the quota is reserved for people who are really interested.
I haven't seen yet anyone eating internet advertising, living in it, heating with it, driving it etc.
> Look at the logo of other distributions, what do they have to do with Linux, other than being the logo of a Linux distribution?

They all have to do with the name of the distribution: Red Hat has a red hat, Alpine has the Alps, Ubuntu (a term having to do with solidarity) has people holding hands.

Kiss doesn't have a logo that shows kissing or lips. It has disembodied boobs.

Again: If Kiss had a stove as its logo, or diapers, or a half empty box of chocolates, someone would post here "that's a strange logo for something called Kiss", and you would probably more likely upvote them than bother to argue against them. Only sexualized women are always considered appropriate by some people, completely without any context.
This is neat. The obvious comparison is glog's DLOG feature.
> Deflation will destabilize the economy if there is massive borrowing, and since most Western government owe about 100 % of GDP, they will prevent deflation for the very reasons you describe. But the middle class should embrace deflation and so should the general economy as it encourages savings which encourages investments which is where the growth in productivity comes from.

You're right. Deflation is not always a bad thing. But runaway deflation is. And runaway deflation is especially likely when there is no increased productivity (like their was in the period you mention) combined with massive debts (which didn't exist in the period you mention, because there was not fractional reserve banking like we have now and value of currencies where intrinsically backed by scarcity of gold).

A little deflation shouldn't be bad for a healthy economy with "sound money", but as you describe yourself: that's not what we're working with here.

It's not just governments who have massive amounts of debt. It's also large businesses and most real estate owners. The middle class should definitely not embrace deflation right now, because deflation could very quickly spiral into runaway deflation.

Runaway deflation = lower wages, lower housing prices, less government budget (less absolute taxes coming in). Less government budget = greater inequality, worse educational quality, leading to decrease in productivity, more crime, more corruption, more waste of resources and aside from government issues: less investments by companies, lower stock market prices, insufficient pension fund reserves due to investments going down (= lower pensions), people losing their house (lower wage = some people can't afford payments on house credit and are foreclosed), housing prices going down more because of foreclosures and bad economy, people increasingly start selling their house at an increasing loss, housing prices go down further, more people start losing and so on.

End result: Japan. Or perhaps worse: the 1930's crash (a prime example of runaway deflation), subsequent poverty, social unrest and wars.

I feel this is not a great explanation though, perhaps someone else can do better.
Surely that's just a layer of indirection over whatever the real reason is? What prevents Google from having GCC/binutils developers on staff (whether by hiring or training)?
The real benefit of meditation from my perspective is proving to yourself that you're not the voices in your head. I mean, you can't be; since you're obviously capable of observing them from the outside while they go on with their business. What takes practice is staying aware and not feeding them energy by identifying.

Once the spell is broken, the conserved energy and improved focus and control changes everything.

The mind is indeed a wonderful servant but a terrible master.
I'm using a free geocoding service instead of Google Maps, to preserve my free quota for Street View. If you load it on your phone you'll get GPS location instead of geocoding which should work better.
See my edits, couldn't reply earlier. We agree in the end. :)
This is the opposite of alarmist. A 3mm/year SLR is pretty much the best-case scenario. An alarmist but still possible scenario would be 3 meter SLR from the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.

> gumming up the negotiating process

The negotiation process is the workers trying to keep more of the wealth they themselves create. "Gumming up" is when the people parasitically appropriating surplus labor time from those workers demand more.

> insulating low performing employees at the expense of high performing employees

Who will insulate us from the heirs expropiating dividend profits from high (and low) performing employees? What hubris that the heirs who do not work want those of us who do work in some Hunger Games competition against one another.

I'd be interested in that data - I have colleagues with wives / husbands doing union shift work - even if you are 100% gung-ho it seems to be 100% seniority based still or has that changed?

Things like UBI, higher minimum wage, reduce exempt classification loopholes etc all seem like ways that rules could change to benefit everyone.

I would LOVE to see the data that says a seniority based union system results in better retention of high performers and their continued push to perform well.

So I dug some more, and it turns out that while he does have something to say about Rust, I'm not sure I'm convinced by his conclusion about safety:

"Safety. Yes, Rust is more safe. I don’t really care. In light of all of these problems, I’ll take my segfaults and buffer overflows. I especially refuse to “rewrite it in Rust” - because no matter what, rewriting an entire program from scratch is always going to introduce more bugs than maintaining the C program ever would. I don’t care what language you rewrite it in."

From https://drewdevault.com/2019/03/25/Rust-is-not-a-good-C-repl...

(I think it's a bit mean to downvote me for not knowing that he addressed that point in a separate page of his. He didn't link to this Rust review at all!)
Yes, there are many success stories of people using the healthcare system in Europe (EU, more precisely), more than people winning the lottery, but there are also many stories of people dying because of the failures. In a few countries (especially Germany) the system still works pretty well, but in the majority it does not, it is in various degrees of failure.
Even if designs are done in house for outsourced production, it's stealing a great resource away from the designers: feedback.

They never see the process it takes to be created, the communication pipeline between the designer and builder is throttled, their designs are only tweaked when large or obvious flaws are found.
That is a good point, particularly your ending that it's for those who control the world currency... Until they fail.

But did that really improve the lives for people globally? Couldn't it be seen as a global redistribution of wealth, from countries who used the USD to the U.S? If you were cynical you might even say the U.S. robbed the other countries.

I wouldn't be so sure to conclude that inflation has allowed economic growth from your example, but more a redistribution of one.
No one has suggested that people "expect the same UI between mobile & desktop apps".

The point under discussion is that it's desirable for apps to have "coherence and familiarity" across platforms.

It's important that there be coherence and familiarity between Slack and Spotify's mobile, desktop, and web apps, for example, because most of their customers will use at least 2 of the 3 in any given week, which likely contributed to their choice to use Electron for their desktop apps.

> Go garbage collector clears heaps of 18gb in sub-millisecond latencies

At the expense of a lot of work from the GC. In production we had 30% of the usage coming from the GC alone…

But for game development the problem isn't going to be the GC anyway: cgo is just not adapted to this kind of tasks (and you cannot avoid cgo here).
I would say that there is a pervasive anti-free-market ideology in the US. Otherwise there's no way the laws that blatantly violate people's contract rights in order to empower union action would be tolerated by society.
A common problem when people with different backgrounds discuss primary colors is that they associate different notions with the term "primary color". There are at least four different concepts regarding "primary color":

1. a set of real colorants or colored lights that can be combined to produce a gamut of colors -> "real" primaries like RGB or CMYK

2. a set of imaginary colors that can be combined to produce the whole gamut of colors a human with normal vision can see -> color space primaries like XYZ or LMS

3. a set of colors that an observer perceives as pure -> psychological primaries or more precisely unique hues like those used in NCS or CIECAM02

4. the colors that are best examples of the (considered to be universal) basic color terms -> psychological primaries or more precisely focal colors (focal colors are a different concept than unique hues but empirically they seem to coincide with the unique hues, so the primaries from NCS or CIECAM02 are good examples here too.)

> (My vague and possibly-incorrect understanding is that any three hues can be used as "primary hues", but different choices will result in different hue spaces, and it's just that CMY and RBY produce spaces that are useful in printing and painting, respectively.)

If you are happy spanning any arbitrary gamut than any three hues will do. If your ambition is to cover the whole gamut of normal human vision no three real colors will do. You will either have to use more than three or allow imaginary colors. On the other hand there are infinitely many sets of primaries to span a certain gamut. Wikipedia expresses this probably much better than I can[2]:

> All sets of real and color-space primaries are arbitrary, in the sense that there is no one set of primaries that can be considered the canonical set. Primary pigments or light sources selected for a given application on the basis of subjective preferences as well as practical factors such as cost, stability, availability etc. Color-space primaries can be subjected to meaningful one-to-one transformations so that the transformed space is still complete and each color is specified with a unique sum.

Fair point regarding mobile Safari, though there aren't many better options on iOS. Extensions have never been supported there.
