It really is a great article and truly interesting techniques to get the size down.
before I say more, I just want to clarify I meant no ill direction or intent your way. I genuinely think there is a fine balance to be struck between a good stdlib & just moving things into the broader module ecosystem for any language. Some get it more right than others (Go Lang, for instance, I think is cool, in that it has the stdlib, but if I understand it correctly the stdlib is maintained as separate installable libs)

Microsoft hasn't move much out of the core C#/.NET libaries, rather they made it easier to interop the SDKs/runtimes. The actual libaries themselves haven't changed much in respect to this issue.
Thanks for the tips. Where do you live now?

Governance can be set up in a number of ways, depending on the charter, with power allocated to different stakeholders in different configurations. See slide 42 from Chris's presentation. As a Rust user, I would follow the creation of such a charter with great interest.

Moving away from Mozilla, regardless of destination, presents an opportunity for the most powerful stakeholders within the community to exert greater influence, many of whom I would be less comfortable with than Mozilla.

That's what they said about 90s VR too. I mean, I guess "eventually" can technically still mean 30-40 years from now.

Boeing employees frightening internal messages released in 737 Max investigation
I put a PS4 VR set on my head at my relatives over the holidays and I could not have been more disappointed.

They had just been gifted it for Christmas and were trying out all of the demos.

I put it on and while I could rotate my head in any direction like I was living inside some google maps experiment almost...

The picture was extremely blurry and the entire experience gave me a headache... after probably only 10 minutes of use.

I am not surprised that experience hasn't "taken off" yet. It was terrible.

I can't believe somebody paid good money for that.

As soon as I put it on all I could think was "damnit, we're still 20 years out from this actually working like we expect it to".
Ya I tend to agree actually, but in the real world I keep getting scolded for being too "functional". I think that it might come down to the easy != simple argument, which the whole CS industry is still grappling with in other areas as well.
Thanks for the correction, they decided to go that route in 2018, seems like it’s not live yet.
A kid I knew from boy scouts in the '70s was a huge Mel Brooks fan. He would quote dialogues from Brooks' movies at length. He was always trying to make other people laugh and usually succeeded, because he had all of Brooks best material to work with. It was a task to get a serious word out of him. I got to know him better in the scouts, sleeping in the same tent on hikes and such. Turns out he was about the most miserable person I knew. When he killed himself at age 18 I was horrified if not greatly surprised.

Like Robin Williams, but less brilliant and with a shorter arc.

So yes, I've always thought that there was a connection between inner depression and outer zanyness.
I have an Oculus Quest. I like beat saber, but my office doesn't have enough room for it. The kids like Job/Vacation simulator, which sort of works seated, but is much better if you give it some room.

We have enough space if we move a table in the living room, but we have to do that every time we want to play. So to me it seems worse than the 5.1 setup, because you only have to do that once.

(Additionally, I don't want the lenses to get dusty, so I keep the Quest in a travel case -- so I have to remember to take it out of its case and charge it during the day if I plan to use it in the evening. The whole thing feels like a bunch of hassle)
The PhD Octopus
We're in the process of evaluating tools to get away from 90% identical yaml files across environments and this seems like a good alternative to kustomize or helm.

Do you have a good pattern on how to use it with CI/CD for deployments? The biggest challenge we've had after writing deployments is getting it setup to work with something like Jenkins (right now we have a custom bash script that does a bunch kubectl things).

(PS any way this would help with static IPs on hosted Grafana.com Cloud to make access to firewalled datasources easier?)
I've always disliked pdfs - they just seem too, i don't know, obscure or scrambly/messy, maybe? However, i have recently seriously considered beginning to archive instead of bookmarking. I would prefer archiving as plain text (for easier searching and compressing, etc.)...but enough content that i consume (and wish to archive) contains media (mostly imagery, not really much video), so i guess printing to pdf is more convenient for the "capture" phase. The one concern i have is storage...I mean how much storage would bloated pdfs have to use up i wonder (as opposed to, say, leaner plain text)?? Legitimate concern, not trying to be facetious. I've also heard there's some sort of web archive file format - .warc or something? If so, i hope that becomes an established thing - maybe bst of all worlds...at least for this archiving use-case.
Super nice. Here's an issue: why when you search the cursor is not the first in the line ? it makes no sense when you make enter when you already know the path and want to go fast

Intent is a method of predicting the probability of repeat offense on one hand and on the other hand the magnitude of sin.

Sin and moralism is an instinctive feeling that presumably corresponds to risk management.

With an AI, intent (meaning reasoning or modelling) is also measurable.

So taking 737MAX again, because the software will reliably and consistently lethally fail, all planes globally were grounded.

If it was the case of metal fatigue in one aileron then the entire worldwide fleet would less likely be grounded.

This just looks like typical game dev code to me. You treat the code like a scratchpad, exploring the space and looking for things that work well. Lots of things written once and never touched again, lots of things written with magic numbers because that makes it easier to delete.

Ask HN: What book changed your life in 2019?
I'm interested in what book(s) changed your life in 2014. I ask because I'm going through something of a personal and professional renaissance.

Thanks for a great community and I look forward to your suggestions.
General question to HN because i don't know the answer.

Has anyone ever tried de-duplicating and matching up records between multiple leaks to build user/person profiles?

I guess with enough unique keys, compute power and time you could build a reasonably accurate profile of a person by matching up email addresses, phone number or SN numbers?

Would probably make identify thief and fraud a lot easier going forwards.
This is cool.

I've wanted to see a Merkle tree based AST for faster incremental compilation (and incremental static analysis).

I wonder if the source manager interface makes this easier to use than editing source files?

AST can still be the source of truth. To edit need to generate source text from AST, edit as text, parse to AST, save.

In other words, I think most of the benefits of this can live behind the scenes for other languages.
You definitely should NOT do this.

As the interviewee, dodging a question with a fake trite answer because you think it's dumb is a great way to signal that you're abnormally uncooperative and/or bad at communicating. And this is a question largely meant to determine your communication skills.

It boggles my mind that people think an interview is a great place to display smug, passive-aggressive hostility. But then again, this is why we have interviews…

The big question that is not answered is whether HAL is capable of ignoring direct orders. If not, then no matter the sentience he cannot be guilty of obeying bad orders.

That one bit literally deprives him off free will in this matter.

We can argue that HAL was too dumb to find other alternate solution. If that is the case, he would be tried in this matter like a child or intellectually deficient person, perhaps an unusually smart animal.
Law determines if that applies by reference group and expert opinion.

There is a very fundamental difference. The Tesla autopilot is a mere driving assist system. Like with plain cruise control, the driver is still fully in charge and needs to pay enough attention to take over at any moment. All accidents happened because drivers were not paying attention at all.

With the Boeing, the MCAS system put the 737 in a flight state which trained pilots couldn't recover from.
There is just no incentive for this that I can see. Linux is an open source effort. Linus had said that he considers open source "the only right way to do software". Out of tree drivers are tolerated, but the preferred outcome is for drivers to be open sourced and merged to the main Linux tree.

The idea that Linux needs better support for out of tree drivers is like someone going to church and saying to the priest "I don't care about this Jesus stuff but can I have some free wine and cookies please".

Full disclosure my day job is to write out of tree drivers for Linux :)
> The features this offers over the popular requests library do not seem to require httpx to be a competitor

Yes it has to be. Requests is not as great as everyone thinks it is. It's API is simple, sure, but when you need more advanced features (doesn't even support HTTP/2 AFAIK) like timeouts, proper exception handling (which you cannot do in requests)) it actually sucks.

httpx is a far superior library already!
It's really good. Had a real 80s vibe and nice gameplay.
I'm not sure how it would work with this, since I've never used it, but Dhall does have some kind of recursive merge operator that might work https://docs.dhall-lang.org/references/Built-in-types.html#i....

You might have to overload it somehow to make it work the way you're describing though.
I've been using httpx 0.9.3 in production now for a couple months. I switched from requests when I realized I needed async support and it has been a dream to use.

The only issue I've run into has been with my attempt to reuse the same AsyncClient to make multiple concurrent requests to the same remote host. It looks like this issue may have been fixed in 0.10 or 0.11 so I'll be upgrading soon to check.

Also, be sure to check out the other fantastic projects by Encode. https://github.com/encode I stumbled upon httpx after using Starlette and Uvicorn for one of our microservices and and been pleasantly surprised by how easy to set up and use they are.
Flight/Driving Sims are another amazing genre for VR.

Counterintuitively, I think large-scale strategy games are pretty awesome candidates for VR.

Third person games are also pretty amazing. If you have VR and haven't tried the free VR mode released for Hellblade, you're missing out.

The phrasing may unfortunately mislead the less technical readers of their audience.

JavaScript always runs “on the host computer”, this should be described as a sandbox escape.
Oh, I see. I assumed that an advanced directive is a more comprehensive DNR, since even if you’re healthy, you can still suddenly become unable to communicate, at which point you can’t make a DNR, so it doesn’t make any sense to wait until you’re unhealthy to make a DNR.
I don't want small code samples. I want well defined problems that this particular language is well suited for, as demonstrated by a dozen (or a few dozen) line program which uses the core features of the language to elegantly solve that problem. That gives me a feel for what the language is, and if interested, I'll learn about the foundations.
I would have preferred a phased in requirement to make the engines more fuel efficient.
> In the case of home ownership, the only choice you have for privacy is to register an LLC under a paid attorney as a proxy, and have the LLC buy the home.

Note you can achieve a lot of this privacy benefit much more easily by transferring ownership of your house to a living trust (where your name isn't on the name of the trust). For companies that just scrape and correlate info (as opposed to doing a targeted search), that is good enough.
With the exception that current VR devices are actually pretty good and much better than the first PC/Touchscreen phone.

It will probably be closer to 5 years than 10 year for the first mass adopted rig.
The best form of a maximum wage would be a simple wealth tax in place of the income tax. It doesn't discourage entrepreneurs continuing to work, but it doesn't allow wealth to accumulate in idle hands.
>No one considers Windows drivers a derivative of Windows, or Mac kernel extensions a derivative of Darwin.

Perhaps they do, but the difference is that their licensing does not regard their status of derivative works as being important. Those platforms have their own restrictions on what drivers they want to allow. In particular, Mac doesn't even allow unsigned drivers anymore, and any signed drivers have to go through a manual approval process. And don't forget iOS, which doesn't even support user-loadable drivers at all.

>Should the currently-in-development Windows ZFS port reach maturity and gain widespread adoption (which feels possible!), do you foresee a possibility of Oracle suing? If not, why is Linux different?

I'm not sure, I haven't used Windows in many years and I don't know their policies. But see what I said earlier: the simple answer is that the license is different from the license of Linux. For more details, the question you should be asking is: Is the CDDL incompatible with Windows licensing?
Proper async support was the big selling point for me.

I have to admit, a vr space sim could be pretty awesome. I've played a lot of oolite and I used to play another space Sim pretty heavily the name which escapes me right now.

>surface exploration and you can have friends join you on your ship as either a gunner or ship-launched fighter pilot.

This seems like it would be pretty fun. I find space Sims get boring though, they tend to get really repetitive. How does elite dangerous do with mission and system variety? I find in the end, with most games like that, different systems tend to boil down to different numbers on the trade screen, maybe a random event or two and a lot of flying around empty space to get to a planet or stations, load up on some trade goods or get a mission, head to the next system, repeat. Maybe mine an asteroid or two for minerals in between.

These things would definitely be prettier and more immersive in VR, but are they any more fun?

Since I own an Omron wrist BP monitor and it, as a dedicated medical device, is nowhere near the precision of mercury sphygmomanometers that doctors use, I seriously doubt their claims of "clinical accuracy" for a watch... it's probably just something that marketing department thought to sound cool
That's something for which we might want to see the raw data: to sort by region, see other percentiles, analyze whether it's bunnycdn's connectivity ?

Also, it might be nice to be able to re-do the tests; better yet: have a website that's auto-updated so that we see results today (maybe TLD X had an incident when they were measuring?). Of course, that's not something you can ask a random stranger on the internet to do for you.

Your first paragraph has been the goto defense for VR for a decade now. I used it myself five years ago. But it's gotten old now. Tech is supposed to solve these problems faster than this.

The Valve index sold out because it is the only way to play one of the most anticipated games of all time.
Not really. I can't just speak to communicator expecting it to understand me and only me in a fraction of a second and connect me to the right person. At least not without "ok google" or "alexa" or "hey siri".

The wealth tax is the best way to fight inequality. A maximum wage would just discourage our best entrepreneurs. I agree that raising the floor without changing anything else doesn't do much.

The first sentient AI won't immediately be acknowledged as equal to people before the law until they are.
I’d say “allowing the code to run on the host computer” is way less confusing for the less technical people than “allowing the code to run outside the sandbox”. Most people have absolutely no idea what sandboxing means.
> It doesn't handle video/bookmark/pdf. If I have to save those, I put them in a separate directory and make a note of it in the text file...

I've used a similar system in the past (though not based on org mode), but was too brittle if/when "links" broke or were altered. For an over simplistic example, if the references that you made to a video within your master text file(s) breaks because the video's containing folder name has changed even slightly, well that becomes annoying. For a small number of references, types of destination media types, etc., maybe not an issue, but after some point, it can become too much maintenance/annoyance. Is this an issue that you encounter? If so, do you have mitigations for avoiding/resolving the broken links? Just curious.

Flash left a huge void in the indie community that has yet to be filled by something. Remember Newgrounds.
Flash was awesome and it's can't be overstated how much it empowered the indie game community in the aughts.

Seems like people crap on it not because of the tool itself but because Adobe dropped the ball and let it become a crashy, resource-hogging mess, aligning powerful people (like Steve Jobs) against it.
Rarely, it's a novelty and he loves it. But he gets an upset stomach, so I've gone back to (best quality I could find, no grain etc) dry food.

Hmmm would be interesting to do the benchmarks on different machines and see if you are right.
I have the Quest and an empty basement set up for it. The games are all still too indie feeling but with the focus dialed in the experience is truly remarkable. Oculus is pushing in the right places too - standalone device with PC support, hands free capability (for older/elderly), and hopefully guardian-less mode (outside play).

I've had a number of friends and family members of different ages try it. The older ones struggled with the controls but once they got into Beat Saber they enjoyed it. With better content and games I see it finally taking off. I dream of the day we have parking lots/warehouses where people play MMOs on VR and stay fit.

Well, we're talking about mass market adoption. If they make 1% of people feel sick, that's tens if not hundreds of millions of people who will be actively campaigning against your product. This is definitely into early adopter territory.
