A complete debug, unoptimized build of LLVM/Clang requires about 50GB of disk space. And LLVM/Clang is on the smaller end of large projects; the Linux kernel, OpenJDK, and Mozilla are larger open source projects, and the private repositories of people like Microsoft, Facebook, and Google are an order of magnitude, or two, above those.

Keeping the entire program string in memory doesn't really buy you anything. You still need your AST and other IR representations, and location information that is stored as a compressed 32-bit integer is going to be more memory-efficient than a 64-bit pointer anyways. Furthermore, scanning and parsing is very inherently a process that requires proceeding through your string linearly, so building them on an iterator that implements next() and peek() (or unget()) doesn't limit you.
While homelessness might be in decline and shelters have more capacity, you can still find people sleeping on the floors of public pay-per-use toilets in Finland. So no, homelessness is not ended and probably never will be.
For the most part I just thought it was interesting.

You asked in relation to what modern farming is among the worst culprits regarding carbon emissions. I suppose that merits a comparison to other know ways to grow food? Most of the crops "we" grow use to grow just fine on their own. We've cultivated them to be dependent. It doesn't seem unreasonable to think we can cut carbon emissions beyond 100% (eventually)

To add a funny: We wont optimize the Nodejs to the point it changes into ERLANG. It takes a whole new approach.
Haha reminds me of a story a psychiatrist once told about how he/she would generalize people's problems that happen to all sorts of patients and yet would routinely be accused of sharing a unique and deeply embarrassing story by their patients, who don't realize it but all face the same problems.
I really wish people would try making original names for their products. Not only am I now going to have to sift through Steven Universe stuff when I look up corundum for people, now I'll have to filter this out as well.

Very annoying for geology-hobbyists.
For some perspective:

Finalnd's military budget: 300 million

US military budget: 700 BILLION

The US could dump a lot of money into these social services to address people who are homeless, drug addicts, and other people on the fringes of society.

We are however, constantly put in a place where other nations depend on us for their security. As such, they don't have to have a massive defensive budget when they can rely on us to take care of them.

If we had a military budget that was more inline with simply keeping our own country safe, we would have a ton more money to take care of the people who really need it.
Isn't that like saying we should stop calling people "ill" because there are multiple kinds of illness? I think you're just offended by the term and as such want to stop using it to describe people, instead of seeing it as a descriptor of a problem that needs solving.
:) I am just quoting their about page verbatim. Personally, I think the statement undersells its value considerably.
I take a hybrid approach and try to build view backed models for complex queries. Then the rest of the team can use those models with ActiveRecord like they normally would.
nitpick: apt-x hd is a lossy audio codec and is almost never the source encoding of the music. most people are streaming aac, vorbis, or mp3, which is transcoded on the fly to apt-x hd. this is a lossy-to-lossy transcode which is basically never going to be transparent. apt-x hd is not a "quality signal" unless you happen to have a bunch of flacs on your phone.
The English version is really good. A lot of work went into it when it came over to Adult Swim.
This looks very interesting. If this were included in the Linux kernel, would it read and utilize existing sysctl memory and qlen values as well as have it's own sysctl settings, or would all the settings be derived at module load in the modprobe parameters? Why I am asking is that I current disable TOE (TCP offload engine) on all my nic's as they have their own buffer and retry settings and ignore the OS network settings.
I kind of misspoke; Clojure has had difficulties in past supporting the latest versions of the JVM; it's possible that it works ok with Shenandoah...admittedly I haven't tried it yet.
That seems odd, you reset it after encountering that? I still have an S8 in my drawer but upgraded to the S10 when it came out last year and I honestly can barely tell the difference in their performance (I don't really mobile game so no idea there). I was actually really disappointed that it didn't feel like I'd just upgraded to a new model Corvette but felt like I got a car wash, which is how I'm sure all my phone upgrades will feel after the S7 now.

I had a big performance problem on my s7 way after putting in a high speed SDcard that apparently was corrupted or damaged. I was only, as far as I know, who knows what Android was storing on it, putting podcasts/images on it and it still brought my entire OS to its knees until I removed it. That was a huge trial in my Android loyalty because I went months with this incredibly slow phone until I finally was packing it up to sell, remembered "oh I don't want the buyer to have my SDcard!" pulled it out and it felt like a new phone again, I got another 2-3 years out of it. Eventually tossed it at the ground on accident thus the s8..
I didn't dismiss other people's technical choices or ignore the existence of a certain technical possibility. 802.11x is obviously a way of locking down a LAN to authorized devices. I assumed every network administrator would be familiar with that.
You can do that on Twitter.
I believe dang pruned it due to not enough information being out in order to foster anything beyond the wildest of speculations. Such as people thinking it was another MAX 8 at some points.

While I don't agree with the course of action; I can see the temptation to doing so.

Often at least waiting til the CVR and black box data is found is necessary to really know for sure what ended up transpiring. Though there were apparently some mobile phone videos of things of dubious provenance/quality in the original threads that I was aware of and are still searchable. Of which there are at least 2 currently via https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
"Roofless" is also a useful term to distinguish people actually sleeping rough from people crashing on friends' couches or in sketchy hostels or maybe squats. It's commonly used in the UK, dunno about elsewhere.
Why can't the issue be looked at a state level then?

This is objectively false. Schizoaffective disorders, bipolar disorder, and most other serious mental illnesses are not treated with diet and exercise, nor is bad diet or poor exercise the cause of serious mental illnesses.
every time there's a hopeful article about a progressive policy on hn there's some kind of backwards libertarian hottake in the comments. it's simultaneously offensive and demoralizing. the finnish program (according to the article) has been running since 2008. do you really think your hottake (op to whom you responded) is a novel insight? that you in the 30s of writing that comment cut to the core flaw of the program? do you really think they haven't considered all edges cases by now? or do you think they're incompetent in there assessment? the reality is much simpler: Finland is more progressive and egalitarian than the US and so their measures/metrics for success are informed by a different value system.

Thiel’s point is on the extreme end if you have hyper-competition, firms will have no money leftover to invest in moonshots (self driving cars, cloud computing, etc. ) instead they focus on pure survival.

I don’t see how a company that’s in a life or death struggle could pour hundreds of millions/billions of dollars into R&D but perhaps I’m missing something

> Correct, and generally speaking, economic of scale should apply to social sector programs. In theory, it should be 60x easier for the US to house everyone, simply because we have more resources to aggregate.

People always like to rush to talk about economies of scale, completely forgetting that diseconomies of scale are also a thing.

(And even that's all assuming that you think Finland's demographics are comparable to the US's and that causes of homelessness and poverty in Finland are representative of the causes of homelessness and poverty in the US.)
With wired headphones, people can keep them for years, decades even. Many of the popular sets of 'serious' headphones have been around for over a decade.

So it goes hand in hand with removing the headphone jack. Remove the ability to not require a battery, and then don't allow people to replace the battery.
What's a better way to take notes for that case?
You should try them. They are a great product. I didn't get it, and now I do.

Yes, people will be happy to get free money. Once its gone, they wont be as happy depending what they bought. For example a new car would make them happier longer. Money does not equal happiness. That is my hypothesis.

I think you are conflating two separate events. Iran shot volleys of missiles at two different bases in Iraq. Separately, but on the same day, aUkraine-bound Boeing 737 800 crashed hear Tehran[1]. Some articles are reporting that it had technical problems. But it may take a while to verify because Iran is withholding the black box from Boeing.

The US citizen sees a fraction of their tax dollar ever actually reach the ground. The rest gets caught up in people's pockets on the way down. We would need to adjust for this but it's unclear how to create a heuristic.
In the past big news often made its way to HN. I don't really care about trivial world news so I don't search tons of alternative news sources.

If a nuke was launched and exploded somewhere I'd still expect it to end up on HN despite not being tech news. So the requirement of significance for unrelated news to make it here has gone way up.
For marketing purposes, nm is the new Hz.

Once, clock speed 'mattered' and was used in marketing to indicate a CPU that did work faster. There was a period of time where Hz was still used by marketing, yet it had stop reflecting how much work the CPU actually performed in a given amount of time. The public caught on that Hz mattered less.

Now, they're hoping nm matters in marketing (no as 'this is a faster chip' but 'this chip uses 'better' technology than TheOtherGuys/ThePreviousGeneration/WhatEver) for at least a few moments before the marketing team has to come up with some other differentiator.

It's precisely because I'm not oversensitive that I see disrespect as a normal and at times productive human response.

You can define "disrespect" however you wish. It matters little to the recipient who undoubtedly feels slighted at the "arrogant" characterization.

There's several popular ARM cores around these days. You would need to pick a specific processor family, at least.

That said, I have seen plenty of ARM powered Chromebooks and I don't think any of them had more than four cpus or were known for high performance. It's not impossible to make a high performance ARM chromebook, but it's not the market people are building for. High performance x86 Chromebooks happen because once you've built for a dual core mainstream x86 laptop processor, you can also easily solder in a higher performance processor with the same footprint.

In the short term they will make money yes, but someone used to make money selling smallpox vaccine. :-)

Having spent some time at a Fortune 500 company I cannot imagine a day where someone voluntarily creates a plan to eliminate billions of dollars of sales in monthly doses of medicine in exchange for a single or double dose per patient product. Corporations just don't think like that. Some might say it's even illegal for them to value the patients over the shareholders under current regulations.

I take your point on the complexity of HIV. However there are creative strategies that can be used like targeting surface proteins (?) perhaps. There are a great many intelligent people in the field. I have dim memories of work showing promise in the early years of the disease. It seems to have gone silent after the introduction of the drug cocktail approach. Coincidence? Perhaps...
What relevant measure would you use to support your claim that 'science is hold back'? And what arguments support your claim that scientists are by far the root cause to this?

'scientific progress' is a paradox. There is no absolute way of measuring the velocity at which science advances. You can't translate this into a value on a speed-o-meter and then make assertions based on what the dial says.

The entire point of science is the discovery of new knowledge and insights about reality. It's the pursuit of trying to know the unknown. Inherently, it's not possible to know up front (a) how long it will take to validate your thesis and (b) whether validating your thesis will yield the result you hoped to find (i.e. a cure for cancer)

Looking back at science in the past and then comparing that to today's state of affairs is hindsight bias.

"But, it used to be that scientists got more funding to do research. Think about the Race to the Moon!"

But then you forget that science isn't practiced in a vacuum. Never has. Scientists happen to work in earnest on particular questions because the external circumstances are aligned in a way that enables - or disenfranchises - them to work on those questions.

Older research always predicates current research. For example, there would have been little point to assume that machine learning could have been a thing in the late 1800's as neither Von Neumann nor Turing had come around to set the stage. Science begets science, and you can't rush that retroactively.

Then there's politics and economics. Full time science comes at a premium. Science happens where there's money. Either through public grants, in academic institutions or large institutions with a sizable R&D section. As such, the type of science that dominates an era depends largely on the zeitgeist.

Reducing science to pure quantitative research or the empirical method is intellectual dishonest as well. Any research is based on a foundation of need, curiosity and imagination.

As such, the number of papers published or conferences attended are very much skewed reflection of the generated value.

Would the definition be based on possessing or owning? What if one does possess a place they choose not to use (run away teen)? What about being able to stay in a place but only for a short term?

I know a guy who recently sold his old house and bought a new one, but because of some confusion, ended up not having a home for two weeks. It would seem odd to call him homeless.
That's a neat trick. It even has kaomoji and useful symbols ╰(°▽°)╯
Edit: the airports noted aren’t along the same magnetic declination, so maybe not that.

Given that this applies to a few US airports and some S. American ones, maybe it has to do with magnetic declination calculations gone awry.

Maybe only airports along one of these lines gets impacted:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_declination#/media/...

And magnetic declination changes all the time. Maybe different systems are using different sources of truth?

Maybe when they did initial testing, they included some airports at the extremes, but when the declinations got updated, they were no longer good test cases?
Logically, your argument is baffling on its face: homelessness is literally the condition of not having a home. Giving someone a home literally solves the problem.

All that said, "Housing First" is the most effective, lowest cost, evidence based program we have to substantially lower homelessness. It works, and it's vastly cheaper than both the status quo ( https://www.centerforhealthjournalism.org/resources/lessons/... ) and just about everything else we've tried.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_First#Evidence_and_out...
While I'd say it's generally been successful, the experiments with housing first programs here in Canada have failed some specific categories of people pretty badly.

In Calgary and London, people with serious mental illness in particular would get an apartment, only to end up facing eviction before long because of conflicts with neighbours or property damage. Some were housed for less than a month before eviction.

Someone with active psychosis, someone with substantial market income but fleeing an abusive partner, and someone with a stable social and personal situation but who simply can't afford rent on their fixed pension, all require different interventions to keep them stably housed in the long run.

"Housing first" has a habit of being "housing only" support, which works for many people but not for everyone.
Check out the manual for Loudness Penalty. It has a table that says what the different services do.

So, for example, Spotify enables normalization by default, they target -14 LUFS, use limiters, normalize both tracks and albums, and will turn up quiet tracks. Amazon, by contrast, does not use limiters, does not turn quiet tracks up, only normalizes at the track level, and so forth . . .
When will people learn its not about what you do its how you brag. Nobody is going to come to your house and check your hobby stuff just have something on github and/or something to take to an interview.

Braggarts succeed. All others perish.

I don't really get what's libertarian about a claim that the term "homelessness" conflates issues which are best handled separately. Can you elaborate?
I don’t see the connection. What is the point you are trying to make here?
Do you have evidence that there's more friction/graft in the US than, say, Finland?
That's almost what the Finnish system requires: https://helda.helsinki.fi/bitstream/handle/10138/231986/comp...

"The current Finnish Mental Health Act stipulates thefollowing criteria for compulsory admission:

.a person should be found to have a psychotic illness,and

.because of this psychosis, they are

(.in need of psychiatric care as their condition would otherwise worsen [this is the main different criterion], or

.a danger to their own health or welfare, or

.a danger to the health or welfare of others)

.no other mental health services are suitable or adequate

(Finland of course has proper free at the point of use healthcare for all residents, a far more important point for mental health than involuntary commitment.)

What's with all the downvotes? HN has gotten ridiculously polarized in the last few years.
The sentiment here is that for the game industry Unions would be a benefit to put an end to unfair working conditions. Game companies have a lot of leverage because the demand for jobs in gaming for out weighs the supply.

Your bargaining power comes from leverage, and your only real leverage is that you can go work for some other company.

A labor union's bargaining power comes from numbers of it's members.

Certainly that can and has lead to abuse, but that is no different than what can happen with business.
my understanding was they are non-replaceable batteries, period. Apple doesn't replace the batteries on AirPods, just recycles the AirPod and provides a new one.
What a ridiculous headline indeed. Yes, homelessness is under control and declining compared to 1990s, among other thanks to free harm reduction based housing for drug users (read: free housing for drug users and drunks in municipal facility where using drugs and drinking is not forbidden.)

But it's not gone. Homelessness is not really possible to solve definitely.
Tips to tighten up your grammar skills
It still amazes me that we closed down virtually all mental istitutions in the US, and then we’re surprised to see mentally ill people struggling on the streets?

According to research almost half of the homeless have a mental illness, with about 25% having a very serious one[1].

If you’ve ever been walking down SF you know exactly who that 25% is. They’re on the street and they need an institution not a needle exchange or free boarding.

There is temporary homeless. Some people may not be seeking home. People still drunk or under influence of drugs you may be denied access to temporary shelters and don't want to go into those who let them in because they are full of drunks and people out of their mind (hard to sleep).

One problem facing the social system is that people in need are not seeking all the support they need. This is the reason why assigned social worker who sees the whole picture is important.
Bad analogy. If the fins were actively rounding up homeless and forcing them into shelters, or disposing of them, then you'd have a case.
There was a massive change from institutional care to ambulatory care at the start of the 90:s, coinciding with the severe recession. Basically a big resource cut. I don't think it was ever reversed. (Don't know much about the sector.)
