If we can't secure internet connected devices, then what assurance does anyone have that this will be secure and private? Will companies put up billion dollar warranties? Asking because recently there have been security vulnerabilities in pacemakers. This is not where you want RCE's (remote code execution), or in this case, remote patient execution.
That may be true.

Speaking of syntax, sure. Otherwise, this is as far from C as it gets. (Not saying that it’s not a useful representation, especially for substrings.)
In a way. Consider a Turing machine that enumerates all proofs in ZFC and halts iff it finds a proof of 0=1 (i.e. a contradiction). The statement that this Turing machine halts (like the statement that any given Turing machine halts) is what’s called a Sigma_1 statement, which lies at the bottom of the arithmetic hierarchy (right above bounded-quantifier statements). ZFC + ~Con(ZFC) is consistent but Sigma_1-unsound and therefore omega-inconsistent [1].

When I try and communicate to others this idea that death is actually truly a blessing, I generally begin by asking someone whether - if they really thought about it - they would choose to be immortal if given the option.

For one meaning of 'auditable by anyone', this is definitional for open-source systems.

Perhaps you mean 'if there's anyone with the domain-specific knowledge to audit the software successfully', well, the first kind of audit should determine that. If there isn't anyone who can evaluate the security claims, that's a pretty strong signal not to use it, no?

Your comment mistakes the nature of your work. As a software developer you don’t get paid to provide code. You are paid to provide enhancements to business products. Changes to a product should be tested before they are shipped to the customer regardless of who makes them.

Avoiding writing original code is primarily an excuse to limit personal liability through diverting blame. Organizations that care about product quality would blame that developer/team for poor product quality regardless of who wrote the code.
Patent on Burrows-Wheel Transform Range Encoding Compression Expired in 2017
Range Encoding, also known as arithmetic encoding, is the practical extension of arithmetic encoding https://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/data-compression-with-arithmetic-encodin/240169251 to arbitrary data sets.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_encoding

The most well known range encoding algorithm is probably the one used in 7zip https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lempel%E2%80%93Ziv%E2%80%93Markov_chain_algorithm

however burrows wheel transform based compression appears to improve over Lempel-Ziv.

Do you have data for this? Everywhere I look puts the US among the very best.

For example, here [1] is UK by quintile:
In 2017/18, the average UK household income before housing costs was:

top quintile: £52,000
second highest quintile: £34,700
middle quintile: £26,400
second lowest quintile: £20,000
bottom quintile: £13,100
The average UK household income after housing costs was:

top quintile: £47,700
second highest quintile: £30,900
middle quintile: £22,800
second lowest quintile: £16,100
bottom quintile: £9,200

Here [2] is the US, 2018 quntiles: 13,775; 37,293; 63,572 ; 101,570; 233,895

PPP Adjusted means adjusted to cost of living [3]. Adjusting the incomes above gives for the bottom 20% of US $13.7K income, for UK $13.1K.

From all the data I can see over many countries, the US poor and lower middle class are doing much better than almost any place in the world.

When I was around 10 years old I made Use Map Settings (UMS) maps for Starcraft. Freeze tag, Aeon of Strife clones etc. I lost them all and don't think I'll find them again.

I also made maps for Half-Life and Counter Strike. I had them uploaded to my Geocities page but have since lost them. Never found my webpage (cool_kirby77) in the various Geocities archives either.

Those creations only exist in my memory now (and maybe others who played them at the time). Sometimes I wonder if what I created was really as spectacular as I thought it was.

The only thing I have saved from my childhood is a single-player map I made for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. The only reason I have it is because I searched years later, and apparently someone took many of the custom maps from the community over the years and uploaded them to some German website. So I could download the .bsp, but the original .map was lost so I couldn't make changes if I wanted to.

I downloaded the map, installed MOHAA and recorded a playthrough so I'd never have to worry about losing it again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhPK__EgsC4

I made that map because I hated how in MOHAA (and most other games like Quake, Soldier of Fortune etc) you were 1 man vs a million. I wanted an FPS where you actually had (useful) allies that helped you throughout the game. Not much longer after I released the map, a number of employees left "2015" (the company that made MOHAA) and started a new company, Infinity Ward. Their first game, Call of Duty, was very similar to MOHAA, but you were actually surrounded by friendly troops that fought with you!

So I like to think that my map was a pioneer that launched a multi-million dollar franchise and cultural phenomenon ;)
I remember watching a documentary about ex-members of an insular religious community. One of the ex-members who was deprived from all sorts of modernity, commented with extreme emotion how angry he was once he discovered Wikipedia. Of all the things he was deprived of, that one stood out... being able to find out factual information about almost any topic in an instant.

That stuck with me. For all of its faults, Wikipedia is amazing, and yes, it feels like depriving people of such a tool is a violation of human rights.

Importing it was banned for several decades from 1968 to 2005, and then until 2017 it had to be heated to a high temperature to be importable (which could damage the culinary properties). Source: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/10/why-its-so-hard-...

Yes, it was due to a concern over the huajiao’s potential to carry citrus diseases into the US. I think it’s fair to say it was banned for quite a long time and restricted thereafter.
Reality check: Most of those at FAANG companies are writing CRUD apps or fixing trivial bugs or improving the performance of selling ads by .1%. Yes, the code is deployed widely, but most of what people are doing is still menial. Additionally, if you follow HN news, you might realize that while FAANGs are having a "real impact on the world", that impact is largely negative.

I wouldn't build your life satisfaction on your job/career. Do what makes you money, clock in your time and get your check. Then put your real mental investment into a side project that intrigues you. And if you're lucky, someday someone will pay you for it.
> Probably because you are from Britain, Canada, Australia or New Zealand.

Nope.

> The commonwealth is the british empire rebranded

I wasn't aware the Commonwealth suppresses industry in nations outside Britain with tariffs, uses them as a source of cheap raw materials for British manufacturing, and as captive markets for those manufactures. Or that Britain sends gunboats to enforce treaties and blockade ports of members that don't comply. Or that India, Nigeria, Pakistan and all the other Commonwealth members still have their laws made for them by the British Parliament and have no representation.

> But queen elizabeth is the head of the commonwealth. The commonwealth is headquartered in london. The official language is english.

Yeah, because these are the only things that all the members have in common.

> Because canada and australia are descendent nations of britain.

So you yourself are admitting that a lady with a crown and a golden stick makes no difference to whether a former British colony progresses or not. It depends purely on the treatment they received from Britain.

> A cultural and educational reminder of their humiliating past? If the indian elites do not have the requisite national pride needed for india "to be great", how will the nation become great?

The past is the past - there's little point in holding grudges. India parted from Britain on relatively friendly terms. Pride is toxic, destructive, unproductive. Grownups do not stew over historical insults. They try to build a better future.

> I don't think you understand what I am saying. A truly great nation. A nation that aspires to be important. Cannot think like a colonial nation.

I don't think you understand that for member nations such as India, Pakistan, Nigeria, the Commonwealth is a glorified tea club. There are no political, trade, or military implications whatsoever. They swap stories, make friends, have a good time. I don't even know what "think like a colonial nation" means.

"Commonwealth citizen" is only a meaningful term for nations in the Caribbean and British Isles.[1]

It's crazy to say you shouldn't ever establish cordial relations with your former colonizer. The US was scrambling to do exactly that immediately after winning the Revolutionary War, when they lost their only friends in the French Revolution.

> Do you think south korea or taiwan would join a japanese empire rebranded as commonwealth of nations?

And yet South Korea has managed in the recent past to cooperate with Japan to co-host important international events. They also had a rather more bitter parting than India and Britain.

> China has improved drastically while india lags behind. Why is that?

There are many reasons for this. None have anything to do with membership in a social club of nations.

The sad reality is that similar shenanigans are employed by health insurance companies in the US. Every year millions of claims are denied for frivolous reasons by health insurance companies and often times, the denier is a person with no or very little medical knowledge compared to their doctor. Just that there are human lives instead of pet lives on the line.

Turo includes insurance for the rental period, so I don't see where there'd be significant additional insurance costs.

Hey gus_massa!
If you click on the link and watch the video of the prototype you'll see that consumers have the option of setting the price of items to $0 if they choose. Since they are selling off items from their own Pantry (2nd hand groceries) it would be entirely possible that., for example, certain college students could give away their semi-drank Coke away for free since they don't have much use for it anyway!
Cost seems to be the thing, and the reporting doesn't drill deeply enough into this. The cost of the electricity is mentioned, as well as some sensitive ports where shore power is used. Does the Regal Princess fit the apparently-fixed arrangement that the QM2 uses? How much time would the ship be hooked to shore power compared to how long it is berthed? Does it take costly shore personnel hours to hook up the power?

Using GPU Accelerators from Python
I had that exact experience. I was playing Half-Life (1998) and I learned that you could download the source and modify it (I was not a programmer, just some little kid with a computer). I somehow figured out how to download a free/trial of Borland C++, setup my dev environment, and recompile the entirety of the source code after making a one-character change (changed the friendtype of grunts from one integer value to another) so that they would treat the player as "friendly" and focus on shooting aliens instead. It was a very painful process.

This was before Half-Life: Opposing Force was released.
> Sure, but in a better language, the second version already does the exact same thing as the first one. Your `return fmt.Errorf` is not exception handling, it is simply manual exception bubbling.

You look at what I'm doing as a more tedious and error-prone version of exception bubbling, but that misses the forest for the trees. The whole point of doing it this way is to lift errors out of the shadows of the exception control flow path, and put them front-and-center in the actual logic of the application. Programming (in many domains) is error handling, the error handling is at least and arguably more important than the business logic.

I don't want exceptions. I do want this (or something like it).

> Even worse, with this style of programming, someone up the stack who would actually want to handle these errors has no mechanism to do, since you're returning the same type from both error cases.

As the author of this module, I get to decide what my callers are able to see. What I've written is (IMO) the most straightforward and best general-purpose example, where callers can still test for the wrapped errors if they need to. If it were important for callers to distinguish between Read and Certificate errors, I would use sentinel errors e.g. var ErrCert (if the details weren't important) or custom error types e.g. type CertificateError struct (if they were).

Adding this stuff isn't bloat. Again, it's just as important as the business code itself.

> Go's error handling strategy is its weakest aspect, and it is annoying to hear advocates pretend that Go is doing it right

In industry, considering languages an organization can conceivably hire for, and considering the general level of industry programmers -- programs written in Go are consistently in the top tier for reliability, i.e. fewest bugs in logic, and fewest crashes. Certainly more reliable than languages with similar productivity like Python, Ruby, Node, etc.

There are plenty of flaws in Go's approach to error handling -- I would love to have Option or Result types, for example -- but I think, judging by outcomes, it's pretty clear that Go is definitely doing something right.

Huajiao are actually of the citrus family (they aren’t true peppercorns), and for a long time it was feared that they could harbour citrus canker. Since the US has a huge citrus farming industry, an imported disease could be devastating.
I don't know of anything like this for Windows, Mac, or Linux, but there should be. For years, I used a truly excellent Palm app called MathPad. One great thing about it was that it had a magic integrated solver: you just entered the relevant equations and whatever variables and constants you had, and if you put in enough, it would solve for whatever hadn't been defined with the press of a "solve" button. This is way better than a spreadsheet that can't support ad hoc calculation of any term.

It could handle at least moderately complex systems of equations: I entered all the formulae for the algorithm of Oudin (used to calculate the date of Easter), and it traversed all the equations to reach a correct result. I'd still love to have something like that today, without paying $200! Sadly, I don't think it was open source.

I'm not sure why you're comparing Crystal to Python here, but just in case you've misunderstood something, Nim is a completely different language from Python. It borrows some bits of syntax (like I suppose Crystal does with Ruby, but I haven't used either of them), but otherwise it has nothing to do with Python, so a performance comparison of Crystal vs. Python doesn't say anything about Crystal vs. Nim.
Of course. I suspect if it had said $8250 and the price was $12250 your typical Bitcoiner would do the same :-)
