also I figured out how to have safe recursion, taking advantage of the stackless coroutines: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1006

this is relatively straightforward to solve in a non-llvm backend. The LLVM abstraction gets leaky fast when you try to tackle this problem.
That assumes the amount each individual person "works" remains the same. Why not full-time employment at 15 hours a week, with 30% of people making stuff we need?

Most of our efficiency gains are presently being funneled into a glut of overproduction of nonsensical "goods" (eg overfinancialization and overadministration) rather than direct quality of life improvements of everyone being able to work less.
Or what would be also interesting is if PG replied to comments two ways and choose randomly his identity (by flip of a coin). He'd write a comment. Then flip a coin. One side he posts his comment (he doesn't comment anymore but let's say he got back to doing that) as 'PG'. Another with another stealth handle. Not about anything substantive where he has authority. Then see how people react (upvotes or argumentative) to what he says. At the end of a time period (call it months) write a blog post on the 'results' of that 'test'.

Further the replies could not be with the same handle (other than the PG handle). So nobody would upvote just for the reputation (positive or negative). (Or perhaps three handles PG, Anon same handle, Anon unique handle).
What I Learned from Rewatching ‘Magnum, P.I.’ (2019)
If a doctor tells you to get a Tonsillectomy on Sunday, don't push back too hard. Get the Tonsillectomy. You probably really need it.

The law prohibits upfront pricing unless the drivers are employees of uber.

The law requires you (the rider) to be the customer of the driver. So the pricing / payment between driver and rider need to be linked.

If you are a customer of uber transit services (instead of uber ride finding and safety platform) they can offer flat rate prices and eat difference, but the drivers then need to be employees.

That's very interesting. I just called their endpoint:

curl -d '{"onlineId":"zeta0134","reserveIfAvailable":true}' \
-X POST https://accounts.api.playstation.com/api/v1/accounts/onlineIds \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

And got a response indicating that the name was both valid (i.e. not "improper") and available. Maybe at one particular time the word was flagged, but I can't imagine why.

edit: As other repliers have said, I did think that it could have something to do with Los Zetas, and maybe that was the case in the past. However, as of now, `zeta0134`, `zetas0134`, and `loszetas0134` are all valid and available names, according to the endpoint.

Interestingly, `pabloescobar0134` is considered improper. However, `elchapo0134` is not – which supports the argument that Sony's blacklist is (obviously) manually curated and perhaps subject to change. Maybe enough people who wanted "Zeta" complained for Sony to realize it was a word that had many more uses than in Los Zetas

> Health records ARE a big part of the product of a doctor

I long for practices that would keep no record of my issues, except what I volunteer to them at the beginning of the consult. Many countries do that just fine, but for some reason in the US I am asked to fill pages on insignificant trivia to cover their ass or follow some weird law or tradition maybe?

I don't want perfect healthcare. Good enough is fine!

So now I just see doctors when traveling. Simpler, faster, and cheaper too.
Islam is almost a branch off Christianity considering Muhammad knew many Christians and was likely inspired by them. Muslims also view Jesus as a holy person.

This is easy to explain and doesn't have much to do with hungry judges.

A morning docket will have a variety of types of hearings. The judge doesn't have to do them in a particular order, so they typically get the easily resolved cases out of the way first. This means that the guys who get fines or probation are done before the ones who are facing hard time.

Also, bailiffs usually bring the group of offenders in together and by getting the fast cases out first, it lets bailiffs take offenders back to the holding cell and clear the courtroom of the majority of them sooner.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I read a couple of further posts on Ruben’s site and found that he holds very very similar views on data privacy and decentralisation as I do. Very worthwhile time spent.

You're arguing the same point in another thread, and we're talking about two different things there too.

You're making a moral argument for why it shouldn't be so. I'm making an ammoral, logical argument for why it should.
All the music I'm listening to nowadays is the songs I buy on Bandcamp, and I'm far from being a hardcore music fan. I do see music as commodity, and that's why I don't mind limiting the selection available to me. I download the songs I buy to my laptop, and stream them to my phone via Bandcamp app. It has bugs and imperfect UI, but so does every Subsonic or Plex client I've tested.

The main problem with streaming off Youtube is that, unless you stick to popular songs (>100M views), it's just a matter of time before some songs in your playlists become unavailable ("video is not available in your country", or unofficial upload gets deleted). I've been using NewPipe (Android) and Ivory (iOS) to play YT videos in background, so I'm not as annoyed with that as I would've been if I had been paying for Youtube Music, but it's still a deal breaker. Meanwhile on Bandcamp, some songs I bought have been deleted since that time, but I still have them in my library and can stream them in the app (I can't share link to these, though, as it's 404 unless you're logged into an account that has these in the library). Of course I could have been downloading YT videos to my PC, and stream them via Subsonic, and I was doing exactly this for many years, but I kept having weird issues with that (and it's metadata hell).

If I were to switch to Spotify, I would have to leave my music collection behind, as the songs I have on Bandcamp are not on Spotify, and vice versa. But I don't see a reason to, as Spotify would also be more expensive option vs buying 1-2 $2 albums per month. And the money I would be paying to Spotify wouldn't even go to the artist I listen to afaik, since the only thing that matters when it comes to Spotify payouts is the total number of times your songs have been played, which is determined in a large part by what the recommendation algorithm has been recommending to hairdressers and drivers, as well as what the current mainstream trends are.
A [2008] tag may be appropriate here.

To me, this post didn’t age well. From what I recall, entrepreneurship is at something like a 50 year low in the US. Even in tech, where startups are seemingly plentiful, large companies are buying up promising young startups just to eliminate competition. If one believes competition breads resiliency and creativity, more people need to be starting companies and seeing those companies through.

From a different angle, Paul Graham to me always has evangelized over much else the virtue of freedom over schedule. Zoo metaphors, terms like “wage slavery” are poignant terms used well before Paul Graham to refer to the troublesome aspects of working for another person. In many ways most careers working for others have very little freedom over schedule—one works when one’s manager expects them to work. Freedom over schedule doesn’t mean freedom from consequences either—when one has control over their own schedule, the real consequences of one’s actions are much more visible.
I have better luck buying from aliexpress than Amazon. I've taken some really sketchy bets on some SSDs from brands I've never heard of and they have all worked out so far.
Los Zetas?
Sure, agreed, and Lyft's apparent priorities are a big part of why I'm not in a relationship with them or part of their "community" (read: "customer base." Community is a lie and therefore offensive, despite being totally a "clean" word... great and unexpected example... I digress).

Edit: sorry, digressed so far that I forgot to finish. By "priorities" I mean, Lyft, pull your people off of pointless projects like messing with people's identities, and put them on QA of basic functionality like accepting a credit card payment via your website. Last and only time I tried it, it failed utterly. Now I don't know how much anti-sales other people need to de-persuade them before they'll not-buy, but in my case that was enough. The person for whom I was trying to buy a gift card, got something nicer with a lifecycle that doesn't burn such an obscene/offensive quantity of fossil fuels.

Bilingual Peptide Nucleic Acids Encode NA&Proteins in Self-Assembling Biopolymer
You need both. It's unfortunate that we separate out the two. It wasn't until the second semester of my third year of my accounting degree that we actually had a project where we would get fake checks we had to enter into the books, fill out, and put in a folder called "mailed." This should have been day 1 and we should have learned what it was we were doing as we were doing it. And this should have prepared us for some sort of internship.

On the other hand, I've met coders who somehow have managed to completely miss very basic CS concepts because they learned the entire thing ad hoc as they needed it and they never realized that they needed Big O, or that they needed to learn how modulo works.

For me, I flunked out of math my entire life until I learned coding and was able to find the answers to "what is this used for?" so I could put it into context. Book learning is good, but it's easier (at least for me) if you have a scaffolding of experience to know where to put each new thing you're learning.

Never neglect either!

I didn't get his diss of Joel Spolsky... I thought Jeff Atwood and Joel worked together?
Not so sure given the current temporal context we are discussing about. Paul Graham has some interests in Lambda School (YC S17), has also personally promoted it (e.g. https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1175434253741580289 ), and might be trying to deflect some criticism by implying through extremely weak generalized pseudo-philosophical considerations that they are not valid criticism, and even that who is emitting the criticisms might be "less than man." (weird, he knows about the Streisand effect, no?)

Or it might be just a curious coincidence, and not indicative of anything else.

Last time I saw a pg blog post on here there was a lengthy discussion about whether it belonged on HN. One of the comments was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21894583

On one hand, you gotta hand it to pg (insert dril tweet about not having to “hand it” to anyone). According to his own writing, he knew he was in danger of sliding into something he didn’t want to be.

On the other hand, he expressed in his own writing he knew he was in danger of sliding into something he didn’t want to be, but he doesn’t seem to have adapted.

For the record I don’t have any feelings on pg as a person. Like everyone else his history is a mixed bag. Just saying: to me, his writing often seems to emanate from a place where his empathy for others & technocapitalist value system are having an argument he doesn’t hear. Again, not a knock on pg’s skill as a writer or worth as a person. We all have blind spots. I just think that’s his, and we’ve entered an age where patience for people who dwell in that blind spot is running very thin.

I could be wrong, but it is my understanding that it was a deliberate policy of the French government after WW2 to invite them in. It is also natural that French-speaking people of the world would prefer to migrate to France.

But if French governments wanted to limit migration from Algeria or elsewhere, they could have done so. It was certainly not an inevitable consequence of colonialism.
this is an indian problem. not a softbank issue.

having said that, businesses must change. capitalism must change. the future is not business as usual ..global and across shores, but small compact city state economies. the future is sustainable city-states.

the sooner governments and businesses and investors realise this, the less painful the transition will be..because the world is literally burning and climate change is a reality and banning plastic straws wont make life on earth better.
> Since inter-process communication in Amiga OS was based on message passing with memory-sharing, it was impossible to add MMU-based memory protection later.

Why can't you do shared memory message passing with MMU protection? There is no reason an application in a modern memory protected OS can't voluntarily share pages when the use case is appropriate. This happens today. You can mmap the same pages, you can use posix shm, X has the shm extension...
Well, we (the Pijul team) are trying to learn from Darcs and not disregard that aspect. Darcs maintainers have been super busy fixing the performance issues, but since Pijul doesn't have those, we can invest more time in the tooling.

I've been ripped off by taxis twice in Bogota, though never in any other city and never one of these boogeyman "millionaire rides"

The first time was my very first taxi in Colombia: I arrived at the airport and naively thought the guy asking me if I needed a taxi was being helpful. Little did I know, that was code for "are you new around here" and then he not only charged me 70k for a 23k ride, but also stole my harmonica and then came back 15 mins later having "found" it and asking for a reward. I was blindsighted.

The second time, the guy took me from the airport though some ridiculous route around the city and when he arrived asked me for about 3x the actual cost. I gave him what the ride should have cost, he followed me into where I was going and I just ignored him; he left.

I've had bad taxi experiences in other countries, but I concede Colombia, or at least Bogota (I lived in Medellin over a year and never had a problem) has some very unethical drivers.

OTOH, I have never had, nor heard of, any problem with a driver that came via EasyTaxi, Beat, or any of the other apps that compete with Uber.

I also think it's in the country's best interests to push foreign rent-seeking companies out of the country.

If Beat gets hit with these lawsuits my opinion will change.
There is another big reason that Apple didn't buy Be and was right not to -- and I say that although BeOS is my favourite x86 OS ever.

Dev tools.

Remember Steve Ballmer's "Developers! Developers! Developers!" dance? https://youtu.be/I14b-C67EXY?t=10

He was right. Without developers for a new OS, you are dead in the water. Which is my MS has fought so hard to keep compatibility.

Apple had to switch OS. That meant it had to persuade all its devs to switch OS. That meant it had to offer the devs something very special, and that something was NeXTstep and Interface Builder. NeXT's dev tools were the best in the software business and _that_ offered trad Mac devs a good enough reason to come across.

Be had nothing like that.

BeOS was wonderful, but it was not a replacement for NeXTstep as a replacement for MacOS.

But there was another company out there.

BeOS was a natively multiprocessor OS, when that was very rare. One of the reasons is that in fast x86 computers, the x86 chip is one of the most expensive single components in the machine, and it puts out most of the heat.

Especially at the end of the 1990s and early 2000s, the era of big fat Slot 2 Pentium IIIs and worse still Pentium 4s.

But there was one company making powerful desktops with the cheapest, coolest-running CPUs in the world, where making a dual-processor machine _in 1998_ was barely more expensive than making a uniprocessor one.

That company's CPUs are the best-selling CPUs ever designed and outsell all x86 chips put together (Intel + AMD + Via etc.) by well over 10 to 1.

And it needed a lightweight, SMP-capable OS very badly, right at the time Be was porting BeOS from PowerPC to x86...

> What matters is whether y is a fraud, not why x is calling them a fraud. The way to discover whether y is a fraud is to look at any evidence x provides, and/or think about any questions x proposes.

If x is a hater, they may indeed bring forward useful evidence. Even their silence can be useful evidence: if a Courtney Cobain hater doesn't think she killed Kurt, that's pretty good evidence that there isn't even the flimsiest case that she did, since if there was, the hater would have obsessively investigated it and presented the best case.

However, the existence of a hater, or many haters, doesn't provide any real evidence that y is a fraud. It's just evidence that y is famous. In the same way, a defense attorney questioning the actions of the police doesn't in itself provide any real evidence that the police acted questionably. It provides evidence that they are a defense attorney.

It probably isn't a good strategy for finding the truth to carefully consider all the claims that y is a fraud if they are famous. That's because any famous person will have many thousands of haters, and so there will be many thousands of such claims to review. Maybe if a friend of yours is such a hater, talking to them is worthwhile. Or maybe it's worth reading one or two antifan diatribes. But at some point you probably want to plow your attention into more fertile fields.

Speaking of which, I have appreciated and admired your thinking for many years, having learned a great deal from you, and I even thought of you as a friend. So it came as a shock when you blocked me on Twitter. What did I do?
This is all bullshit anyway. A word is just a word and whenever it insults somebody it's their own problem. I would rather change my actual name to Fuck if I wasn't too lazy to deal with problems like that.
