I generally, in my daily life, have more things to worry about than a couple of random people expressing their dislike of something myself or the people I live with, own. If you spend most of your time worrying about whether other people like your car you must have an extremely easy life and should absolutely donate a large percentage of your money to charities that help those who are not as well off as you.
What will be probably most interesting to watch: the collision between hardware constraints and ever-increasing complexity of standards like Unicode and HTTP.
This kind of posturing is nauseating but I find it to be bizarrely common.

I think if you are not an overly literal person it makes more sense though. It's social posturing which is meant to mean "I don't like the most extreme elements of consumer culture like designer belt buckles and luxury automobiles". To many people "believing in material things" means that and not what they are literally saying.

It seems like many people find this type of exaggerated speech to be really charismatic which I find really annoying.
Paris is a big city, that's all. The Eiffel Tower and Moulin Rouge are not among the most interesting things to see in Paris. People are not like in a Disney movie.
If you look at the volume of software that needs to be produced, and at the trend to include software in more products, and at the entrepreneurial imperative that risk capital is the most expensive resource, it looks very unlikely that handcrafted machine instructions will play a greater role in the future.

Cloud computing and SaaS have extended the deadline for coming up with an answer to "What comes after Moore's Law." But it is much more likely to not be based on every coder learning what us olds learned 40 years ago. Instead, optimization is more likely to get automated. Even what we call "architecture" will become automated. People don't scale well, and the problem is larger than un-automated people can solve.

Core reasons perhaps people are haters?

1) The person who they hate to them (the hater) appears to have more luck than talent. There are others with the same or more talent (maybe even the hater or someone they know) who get no attention at all and toil in obscurity.

Of course luck is a sliding scale (there is always luck) but someone in theory would be less likely to hate someone who ran a race and was the fastest (low on the luck scale high on the skill scale) but more likely to hate a startup founder or a singer or actor who had fame but it didn't appear related as much to talent but to luck. Someone can imagine 'I could do that' but not 'I can beat that person in a marathon' (easy to quantify).

2) There are fanboys and that enhances the annoyance by the hater. So it's the constant attention (which they feel is undeserved and quite frankly it probably is) that drives the hater. Not the person themselves. The media attention the fawning articles the fawning comments.

3) They get attention for things that the same activity would not get attention by a non famous person. Example is PG wrote this essay and everyone here (including me) are feasting on it.

4) They are unapproachable. They wouldn't give you the time of day (because of course they don't have time to give everyone attention). If you wrote to them they might write back a quick reply but they would never engage in a discussion or invite you to go out or be their friend. They would give you some trivial brush off (if they replied at all). You are not important to them and they know that. That bugs people even if they know there is a legit reason for the brush off. People react negatively to lack of courtesy and to have it in their face that they are not important even if rationally they understand why it's happening to them.

So at the core it's not the actual famous person that is hated so much as the attention that is given to the famous person that drives the hate. The hater feels it's undeserved and over the top.

And it is 'over the top' when it just becomes to much in the mind of the hater.

It's often the product team's decision. Anybody can spin up a Git repo when they need one. There's freedom there, but you miss out on a lot of tooling and healthy discipline by doing so.

Once you're in the mono repo, you have to play by its rules (well...should anyway). Like in the case of npm packages I mentioned above.
Theoretically, some bacteria could have died overnight, which would be good. In general, simple instruments constructed of stainless steel or other solid non-porous materials are easy to wash off and autoclave. Complicated constructions in which multiple parts fit precisely inside other parts constructed of different materials are not easy to wash and autoclave. Scope manufacturers would be encouraged to design more sensibly if physicians could be held accountable for cross-contamination. This would require a more aggressive regulatory regime.

Monorepos are cool but I hate perforce with a passion. How can we use git?

A lot of work is going into making git scale better which is nice but there will always be small open source repos. You could mirror them but it seems like it would be nice to not have to do that.

Is there any research going into figuring out how to keep many repos in sync with a single commit? Maybe you could use submodules across your company...have a single master repo that essentially just keeps track of working version sets. That might work but it sounds torturous. Is anything on the horizon to solve this problem with git?

dokuwikis RSS feed will list recent changes - and does as of writing not show the 19.07 release post. I'm not intimate with the feed.php if it can be used to list the frontpage with the exact post. I remember I searched for ways to know about new releases in the past and came out to list the top posts of r/openwrt now and then as the forum and openwrt-devel list are high-frequency.

This is not a complaint - the wiki is big, the lede/openwrt division very likely incurred a cost that the project still has to recover from.

Interesting. I have not been to Europe so did not have that context, but thank you very much for explaining.
> Doctors are not customers, patients with their expectation of privacy are.

In the US system, is the patient the customer, or the insurance company?

I work in healthcare outside the US and I’d argue that the system I’m in is also quite skewed. In private healthcare where I am, the patient is the person who turns up and pays, but their doctor holds the power to send their patients elsewhere, and so must be kept happy too.

I take issue with the idea that we have some intrinsic essentialist self/soul/atman that constitutes "who we are" — such that it could be changed. If taking antidepressants makes one less neurotic, does that mean we have been fundamentally changed? Doubtful.

The illusion of the self is socially useful and pervasive, but there isn't much to support it.
I agree, it's immature. But I'm not the one who wrote an article calling critics haters and losers.

I mean, the article literally says the calling card of a hater is the use of the word "fraud". Meanwhile, we see actual fraud in Silicon Valley (and beyond, of course) all the time. God forbid it gets called out.

I'm old enough to remember the flak people took on these very forums for calling Theranos a fraud: thoughtful people obviously did due diligence on the company, critics (losers?) couldn't stand seeing a woman be so successful.
I think you missed the word "elective", I guess the whole point was to remove emergency surgery from the study.

On your point of commercial interests, as though there's a distinction from trade policy, Saddam and Gadaffi had the poor sense to seriously propose abandoning petrodollars, sealing their fates.
Yes, they do mention this - though it can be challenging to account for all factors. You can't quite correct for variables that are not collected/known.
> The conventional mixture is usually three- quarters gold and one- quarter copper, with a density of about 15 g/cm3.

That’s not true for this new lightweight gold: its density is just 1.7 g/cm3. And nonetheless it is still 18- carat gold.

Imagine comparing jewelry that is all “18 carat”, but some of it has 10x less actual gold. Seems like there will be a lot of fraud happening during a period when customers are not yet aware that the minimum amount of gold in an 18 carat piece has been reduced 10x. People will just hear “18 carat” and assume it means the same thing it meant before.
It seems to me that if we can merge https://github.com/Syniurge/Calypso into LDC, we can get a language that is easier to understand and compiles faster than C++, Dlang.
This looks interesting — would be cool if the author called out what hardware this was tested on specifically since they mention drivers to support various things like Chromebooks and microboards.
The article is a slow burn with a hilariously clickbait title but damn, those are some fascinating and significant consequences.

> An interesting question comes to mind: which programming features, apart from the ones we mentioned above, allow us to program [computably continuous integer streams]? In terms of Haskell, the same question is which monads allow us to program [these streams]?

> Can we do it without any extra features and use just “pure” functional programming?

> If by pure functional programming we understand a functional programming language with natural numbers, booleans and recusive definitions, also known as PCF, the answer is no. The proof of this uses denotational semantics and domain theory, and I will not go into it now. You may entertain yourself by trying and failing to define [computably continuous integer streams] in pure Haskell or ML, i.e., no side effects, no exceptions, no mutable store, no parallelism, no monads.

> ... The lesson is for those “experts” who “know” that all reasonable models of computation are equivalent to Turing machines. This is true if one looks just at functions from N to N. However, at higher types, such as the type of our function m, questions of representation become important, and it does matter which model of computation is used.

It takes a hit on the trend that was in vogue in early 2010s to do AI and metaphysics on top of Kolmogorov Complexity, Solmonoff Induction, information physics... people took the Turing Equivalence as a carte blanche to say whatever willy-nilly thing you want about the (potentially) computable nature of reality without being informed by more naturalistic methods.

This is harshed even further given that these information-theoretic arguments often used non-computable notions.
Interesting, GCC has '-fstack-usage' to output the stack usage of each function into .su files, I didn't realise LLVM was lacking this feature.

There is a tool in rust[1] I just found that makes LLVM emit this information for rust code, but it stores it within[2] the .stack_sizes section in the emitted .elf instead. Possibly a similar trick could be added to Zig

You’re forgetting that people actually have to upvote submissions. Presumably not everyone sees every submission on HN every time thus are candidates to upvote it.

Sure, write that karma farming bot. Seems like a good service to those of us who want to see good content we may have missed, generate new discussions on classic content.

Complaining about “karma farming” has always seemed like a weird jealousy thing to me. Where you presumably care so much about karma that you’re annoyed over your arbitrary concept of karma-fairness. Who cares? If someone can get karma by reposting classic content for HNers who missed it the other times, more power to them. They reposted the content to an audience that wanted to see it. You can’t always take it personally or lash out at others just because you’re not part of that audience.

He says he’s surfed 1000 hours. I think I surf about that much in two years and I’m still pretty bad. 50 hours a year means maybe only 20 days a year which is not many.

Also, I think they’re doing what most surfers don’t do and showing their worst waves. For those that don’t recognize the band, Tom Sachs is an internationally known artist that makes large installations (such as a larger than scale replica of that Apollo Lunar Module) out of scrap and junk. This video is very much in his style.
Every few years something like this gets written. I remember similar things being written in 2004-2005 before the Core 2 line of processors came out.

There is still improvements being made to the current tech or new takes on the current tech that aren't incorporated yet in the current bunch of consumer processors.

Also I happen to think that what makes a computer fast is the removal of bottlenecks in the hardware. You can take quite an old machine (I have a Core 2 Quad machine under my desk) slap in an SSD and suddenly it doesn't feel much slower than my Ryzen 3 machine.

But that's also true for those who call Elon Musk a fraud. Disputes such as "funding secured" (securities fraud), "full self driving coming later this year" (false advertising), booking warranty expenses as goodwill (accounting fraud), Musk's claim he had "recused himself" from the SolarCity acquisition when he hadn't (securities fraud).

These accusations of fraud are all truth-claims about the world. They are provable, or they may turn out to be false. But what cannot be disputed is that these are claims of substance.

pg argues that accusations of fraud are simply playground style insults lobbed towards those who are too successful by spiteful and bitter haters, who are mediocre and unaccomplished, and therefore not worth paying any attention to. I think that's way too dismissive.
Did you ever read about the obsessive determination with which Harry Markopolos worked to expose Bernie Madoff? He had a visceral obsession with Madoff, working for almost a decade to expose Madoff's scam. John Carreyrou likewise had a longterm fixation on exposing the Theranos scam. These weren't mere "disputes" over technicalities- they were all-consuming endeavors that became core to the identifies of the whistleblowers. They were most definitely "haters".
> Rust is a very complex language; it's essentially a modern take on C++, and it fully adopts C++'s design philosophy.

This is a false and inflammatory statement, and unhelpful. It's more complex than C, but has very different set of features and type capabilities from C++ that makes it far simpler. Even for C, I would say it really is a different set of complexity. Rust brings that complexity to the fore-front, whereas C and C++ both have a significant amount of hidden complexity.

> It appeals to those who already like C++

Perhaps, but I absolutely abhor C++ (after years of working with it) and completely love Rust, so :shrug:

> Zig is a very simple language

It is. It also doesn't make many of the same safety guarantees as Rust. So there are trade-offs.

I really don't know how you live your life acting like that.

Is it your belief that response somehow changed the point? Or maybe you think that response changed human nature? That somehow reacting in that manner changes mankind such that no one would ever be flattered that a rich and powerful person thinks they're interesting enough to have lunch with.

What about their wives? Are the wives pedophiles too? They sometimes went to the island with whomever. How many degrees of separation is necessary before you become just a person who wasn't aware of this rich and powerful persons predilections?

Lets call it Pedophile Bacon. Everyone is at most 6 degrees of separation from Epstein, therefore it has to be a number between 1 and 6, otherwise everyone is a pedophile due to Epstein.

I think what kills me the most is the implication through all of this that Epstein was so important that everyone should have been aware. I certainly wasn't. Until all this shit came out, I had _no idea_ who he was, or that he had been convicted. I don't spend my time tracking pedophile, and I would consider it a bit strange for anyone who does.

Imagine if someone like me is asked to go to lunch by their employer. And then this shit hits the fan, and suddenly you're being accused of being a pedophile because the Pedophile Bacon is 3 or less and you're at 2.

Maybe the guy is a pedophile. But him having lunch with Epstein says nothing about his status of being a pedophile. Because having lunch with a pedophile is not, by definition, what makes a pedophile a pedophile.

But you come in here with this snide ass comment as if it changes any of that. I don't personally understand. Help me understand why you would muddy the waters surrounding pedophiles. How many Pedophile Bacon's does it take before someone once again is presumed innocent until proven otherwise?
I just don't buy this. I cut my teeth as a HPC programmer working with C and writing no-lock algorithms. There will always be a need for that, but realistically the vast majority of software being developed is simply not performance-critical. It's designed to work at human speed.

Advances in language, compiler, and runtime implementations will continue to keep up with any growth in the need for performant applications for the foreseeable future, despite the looming collapse of Moore's Law.

I notice this effect all the time when cooking, and the maddening part is how hard it can be to even figure out the right details.

Like, the best sausages I ever cooked were at a barbecue in park, on a random public grill with no particular attention to the heat (I think the sausages caught fire briefly), and yet they were amazing. Juicy and delicious, with just the right amount of char on the outside. Over my home grill, with careful regulation of the grill temperature and a pro quality instant read thermometer, I’ve never quite managed to do better than “pretty good.”

(I highly suspect one of the details is “undercook your sausages” which is easier to do when you’re blissfully ignorant of the actual temperature.)
