At the risk of projection, that comment reads to me as an attempt at playing gotcha.

It's not necessarily that unsafe code is categorically bad and nobody should ever use software that is written without strong static guarantees. It's that, in a language like Rust that has such a high level of compile-time checking, and whose community places such a high premium on it, relying heavily on unsafe becomes a red flag. It implies that the author of the code has a tendency to play fast and loose in a way that you might not want to welcome into your own codebase if you don't have to.

Where unsafe is supposed to be treated as a sort of pinky swear that says, "The compiler couldn't guarantee that this is safe, so I did," that starts to get scary, because any errors will undercut the safety guarantees that the compiler is supposed to be enforcing on your own code. And a large volume of unsafe code implies a large manual verification burden, and a larger volume of code that's easy to accidentally break. And the more of it that should be manually verified there is, the lower the chances that it is actually being manually verified. So it threatens to defeat the ostensible purpose of choosing a language like Rust in the first place.

That's not to say that programming Rust that way is wrong or evil in any objective sense. But it's something that needs to play into a decision on whether to take a dependency on such code. When you link code, you're inviting it into your process space, and you now have to accept responsibility for anything it does while it's in there.
Today it allows you to define data models and then auto generates views that you can use to perform CRUD operations.

This is a view of the app editor creating a simple Blog app:

After you define your data models, then you can create and edit live views of the data model.

Here is a screenshot of the Blog app where I am creating a new post:

I need to create a video of this to make it easier to show off.

The UX is still a bit rough, but the core pieces are there for building CRUD apps.

Thanks for asking!
Californians arent all moving just due to housing costs, overall cost of living there is pretty nuts and unless you work in big tech, your salary is not that great. State plus federal income tax alone was a deal breaker for me when I was there.
Cost of living is real. Weather is real. Outside of a few highly nomadic ultra-high net worth types the tax advantages of moving states is just too trivial in absolute terms for most people to bother with. The idea that masses of people are moving for lower taxes seems like a rhetorical invention of the WSJ editorial page versus anything rooted in reality.
he's walking away, but before he does he decides to brick up the door he was holding. that's ok though because the house has lots of other doors that are based on the door he was holding open, all people have to do is to go through the effort to find the best version of the door that is most like the door he was holding open before that he's bricked up and thus is not available for comparison anymore.

I certainly think he had the right to do what he did, and the people who were rude deserved to have the door bricked up, but the people who read the notices he put up before hand about how he was holding open the door and it was a good way into the house might feel he is sort of a jerk.
On of my favorites in this kind of contests (what they funnily enough have an entry for) is HQ9+.

Since it doesn't seem to have a regular English wiki article: It is an esotieric language that is not turing complete but can do pretty much anything that people usually do with esoteric languages. It has 4 opcodes:

H prints "Hello World!".

Q prints the source text of the input program (quine).

9 prints 99 bottles of beer.

+ increments the accumulator.
If we imagine that the work of women was craft work that could be safely and comfortably be done in the presence of children, then we can compare that to the places and conditions of the workplace of todays woman.

If yesterdays woman could bring her kids to work and todays cant, then we are pressuring women to have fewer children, and dumping the blame on them to boot.

What does todays idealized woman look like? Who are the role models we assign to our daughters?
I believe you're mostly correct in terms of current legal situation in the USA.

Downvotes are primarily going to be from people who would prefer that wasn't the case.

However, I believe most accessibility improvements must be "reasonable" accomodations and generally I think aren't intended to be onerous costs (unreasonable).

So there's room for debate on whether accessibility should NO LONGER be a right in the USA. And also room for debate on what's reasonable.

But I don't think this statement: "accessibility is a right" should be downvoted on HN. Its a fact of law, due to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Haven’t noticed any difference. They’re still my absolute favourite bit of technology I’ve bought in ages, despite their ridiculous price tag.

> Maybe this article was purposefully released to spread lies and defame COMAC’s reputation?

I don't think so. I would guess 90+% of the people clicking on this had no idea what COMAC is. What does seem weird is that the HN headline "Comac engineers miscalculated the forces that would be placed on the engines" does support defaming COMAC narrative, while the actual Reuter's headline
"China's bid to challenge Boeing and Airbus falters" reads like the dozens of articles that were written about delays the Dreamliner [1] and the A380 [2]. Compared to some of those articles COMAC is getting off easy.

I don't disagree. But a tool can be successful in adoption and still not be correct from a technical point of view.

"Who cares about correctness or safety?" one could ask. Well, Rust's designers for one. It's why they created the language.
The tech job market in Dallas and Houston is pretty hot.
Yes it's very weird... but it's great when you're talking on the phone in a noisy place!
> more robust programs

And by “more robust programs”, you mean more related confiscatory taxation. Meaning that, again, men must surrender even more, and accept even less, to accommodate women.
If you want to edit it out, I've reopened the comment for editing.
Illinoisan here, have a lot of family and friends that have escaped. Escape is literally how they talk about it too. Most of the complaints I hear is about cost of living and property taxes. All the costs and taxes of a state like California, without any of the beautiful weather (except for 3 months of the year during summer). It's a big issue, and part of the reason, I believe, that they just legalized recreational cannabis.
> Many economists do not like the minimum wage at all for many reasons.

Usually it boils down to simply believing that "standard of living" is a silly concept.

It's true, the demand for labor is essentially infinite, but having a minimum wage effectively puts a cap on the number of actual jobs. If people could hire maid services for $1 per hour, there'd be a lot of maid service jobs and nearly everyone would have clean homes.

But the standard of living would hit the floor.

Eliminating minimum wage would eliminate unemployment, for sure. But it would also mean rising homelessness or people cramming 5+ people into 400 sq foot studio apartments as the people at the bottom could no longer afford to pay rents on their own. And let's not pretend that only minimum wage workers would be affected, people near minimum would likely wage cuts as well.

Eliminating minimum wage creates a race to the bottom for low-skill jobs as people become more and more desperate for money.
You can live off $60K pre tax as a single person even in a high cost city. I don’t spend more than $3.5K a month total right now in a normal month in SF.

Taxes are not that high at that level of income.

i will say that if someone wants to pay me to sit in a corner and play games all day, that's fine by me. as i've stated before, a job is a job now-a-days. i'm not looking to change the world, i just want a paycheck.
Renting COTS tunneling machine, digging a plain old and quite unimpressive 1-mile-long tunnel, and calling it something fantastic and extraordinary is a good example of said reality distortion field.

Let's put it in perspective: London is covered by a network of small tunnels dedicated to cart mail around by autonomous vehicles. The tunnels were opened almost a century ago.

There's a difference between leaving poisoned but attractive looking food on a sidewalk, and putting code on github. You're losing perspective regarding open source programming -- it's supposed to be fun. There seems to be a political / ideological dimension to this disagreement. Your nanny state would be correct to punish someone for leaving poisoned food out. But we don't need your nanny state in open source software. People can choose to use or not use free software. Anyone whose software has life or death implications would indeed be culpable if they make those choices rashly. But the responsibility does not lie with the maintainer.
For starters, "man i'm glad there are identifying details about you in your profile so i can avoid working with you" is an egregious personal attack, certainly something we'd ban accounts for, especially when they have a history of breaking the site guidelines.

> what is the point of a voting system if you can unilaterally censor and censure?

HN is a constitutional democracy. I can see why you'd find it annoying if you're assuming otherwise. We can't go by upvotes alone—if comments break the site guidelines, it doesn't matter how upvoted they are.

The voting system alone doesn't regulate itself—it leads to flamewars because indignant and unsubstantive comments frequently get upvoted. That's why there need to be countervailing mechanisms like flagging and moderation.

Maybe Stanford too, but the case I know was Berkeley.
Yeah but COMAC has maybe 2 commercial jets that have entered service, Boeing has shuttled millions of people around the world safely for decades. We're riding an aviation news scare wave right now, so every burp and fart from the industry is getting reported. That said, there's no question that COMAC doesn't have the experience of Boeing or Airbus in designing production airliners. It's like trying to throw a bunch of money at a new software team to replace Windows 10, and then get Big Corp to start replacing their machines with that.
I seem to recall from my C64 days that "monitor" was a term for a type of utility program that would let you view memory contents and load data into memory. That seems to be similar to what this project is doing.

Actually only by surname you can only guess; there are some demographic distribution which some name are more common among. But this is not very accurate as people have moved around and with marriages and such, it's not always the case any more. (Japanese law still requires wives to convert to husband's in a conventional marriage.)

Source of information that often cited as is a 本籍 (honseki -- a location of where national registry is filed and hence, stored.) This information used to be required for a lot of the places (including driver's license, job application, among others) but because of this abuse, this is no longer a commonly collected information unless it is required. (And also you can change honseki, too.)
Anybody who is doing this is going to loose his woman or at least makes her resent him and loose any attraction to him.

You can write stupid articles and researches and whatever, it is not going to change the basic nature of men and women. Women job is to bring children and raise them, men job is todo the rest and until biology changes in some magical way it is not going to change.

Women are still mainly attracted to care taking and value transference jobs, they don't like stem and not very good with creating value, whether it is physical or theoretical jobs, how many women music bands do you know? Even art they don't create much.

Whoever wrote the article didn't ask themselves why women doctors don't leave their jobs, it is also very hard and demanding, but they like what they do because it is care taking and care taking was always the traditional job of a woman.

Modern thinking demand us to ignore those simple facts and just pretend that things are different, it is just a stupid phase that will eventually disappear like communism or any another stupid ideology
Wow, hello. I’m about to clock In the for the day so I’m afraid I can’t address your sources until later tonight. But in the meantime, saying that other people think this is true doesn’t advance your argument in my mind. I don’t care what “experts” say, although I have no problem picking it apart, because there are no experts in AI that doesn’t exist yet. Nobody has first hand experience studying a real world example of what we are talking about. High level signal processing is the only thing that humans monopolize. The more of that that gets automated, culminating with AGI, the closer we are to the obsolescence of humans. It’s just blindingly simple. And please don’t call me an alarmist. I’m genuinely concerned here. I don’t ruminate in this because it’s fun.

And of the SWEs at FAANG, the ones making $400k in their 20s are yet another tiny slice. So we are comparing a tiny slice of a tiny slice of STEM professionals.
While I don't think there's going to be an AI winter either, I don't think GPT-2 will achieve sentience or anything close to it.

And that's for the same reason that no matter how much data they feed Tesla's self-driving AI, it will still try to kill you now and then. The problem space is just too big. All the people I know in this space don't think it will be solved for at least a decade and maybe not even then.

But I do suspect the 2020s will see the creation of agents combining classical algorithms with deep neural networks to do amazing things in domains that are closed and constant. But they're all going to be glorified (yet wonderful) unitaskers.

The only thing that worries me is that I don't trust FAANG to do the right thing ever anymore, and it's amazing to me that so many have opted into the panopticon of things in exchange for the ability to order stuff and turn their gadgets on and off.
That is an entirely specious analogy. This code will not cause someone to get sick or die. And "contaminated" vs. "not contaminated" is a binary result for food -- one is the case and one is not the case. With code, there's nearly always room for reasonable disagreement as to what is the right/good or wrong/bad way to do things, and often people argue over two (or more) perfectly fine ways of doing things that just come down to a matter of style.

Not sure I follow. Given two mothers (gonna leave aside some of the baggage here, fathers can do child care, not all women/people are straight or fit in the conventional framework): Amanda wants to have kids but also wants to be a Supreme Court litigator. Jane wants kids and wants to stay at home to raise them. Why is giving Amanda the option hurting Jane’s ability to chose her preferred outcome?

Should we force Amanda to chose? How is that empowering?

I believe that the author fundamentally misunderstands the apotheosis and ongoing nature of the traditionalist mindset. In his description of, and reasoning about traditionalism, he's attempted to understand it as an ill-fitted treatment for the pathologies of the progressive commentariat (this is especially obvious when he emphasizes the performativity of consciously embracing traditionalist values, and conflates, trad with a paleo diet).

I do agree with him that oversocialization is a component of the mindset. But he describes the adoption of traditionalist (Catholic) values as an attempt to achieve some form of moral certitude in order to escape the judgement of one's peers, the the fickle nature of the broader communal concensus.

This doesn't track with the traditionalists know, especially when he himself admits that the religious component of it is almost certainly ironic, or an aesthetic choice. The religious component may be percormatively observed, or authetically observed. In either case, it serves as pre-existing standard base from-which they rally that already broadly aligns with their values, and extracts only minor concessions from them.

Traditionalists aren't especially concerned with how society writ large percieves them, even when they're willing to acknowledge the subjectivity of values. In fact, there is an assumption they bear that they are an anachronism in an increasingly liberalizing world, even if they believe it's their duty to push against it.

The traditionalist instead, fixates upon diminishing social capital, blaming the individuization of morality, and anti-normative-value sentiment of the predominant cultural narrative for society's woes.

They likely already held their principals long before they'd ever heard the word "traditionalist". For them, traditionalism isn't an escape from collective judgement (their beliefs are out of vogue, and will certainly be the subject to judgement and ridicule). It is a label through-which to collectivise, in order to hold one-another to account, and receive feedback from those who share similar first principals to them (something progressives don't do).

The company also exists of employees and shareholders. The PAC is administered by the corporation, has meetings on corporate grounds, is contributed to by the corporation, and has its contribution list published by the corporation. In anything other than a legal sense, the corporation runs the PAC.
I believe that's an open question currently and badly needs legal clarification.

One standard proposed at HN from time to time is that maybe websites with high revenue should be required to conform with a specific standard such as W3C's WCAG 2.1 AA.

But it's an open question and I don't know if lawmakers are even aware of WCAG, that would be nice.

Ten Problems for Artificial Intelligence in the 2020s
I’m not sure why people are so fork-shy. Forking is the greatest gift of open source. It’s basically the point and the core of what it means to have software freedom. I think the anxiety around forking is unwarranted, especially in scenarios where the author clearly has divergent goals and values from a large number of people.

It seems the forest has been lost from the trees: exercise your freedom, fork, and let diversity lead to longevity. I think a lot of the aversion is because forking and fragmentation is messy. It doesn’t surprise me that the Rust community in particular would abhor such disorder :) (see the JS community for a counter example.) But such disorder is a key element of so many good human systems, like democracy and free markets. Better to embrace them and relish the freedom they bring, than dive deep into conflict with others only due to imagined chains binding you together, chains deliberately lacking due to the selfless altruism of the project creators who bound their work to a free software license, to whom you should be thankful, not resentful.

Well, to be fair, some (or even most) small niche ideas won't be that profitable (if they are profitable at all). That is the reason why I feel that the market for those small investments will never really flourish. The downside is the same, you lose all your investment. The upside is completely underwhelming, you recoup your investment after 4 or 5 years after which hopefully you see a profit.

This is traditionally the space for friends-and-family investment or bank loans. If I was an investor then I don't think it is a space I would get into.

It also explains why the article I mentioned is focused on established and profitable SaaS businesses. That means the filter for crash-and-burn has already taken place allowing investors to change their ROI calculation enough to make it viable.
