I agree that's an optimization and an important litmus test, but calling any TCO that doesn't also handle mutual recursion (but does naive fib just fine) not "real" feels like a stretch. At least we agree on the facts: if you want mutual recursion in Clojure you need to write it with letfn + trampoline. That feels like it's only a hop away from recur to me, as in: if recur doesn't feel like real TCO to you I imagine letfn + trampoline won't either, but letfn+trampoline means that I can write all the mutual recursion things I want to write almost exactly the way I want to write them, so it's close enough for me.
Yup... also, it rules out competition.

They’re very good lately at PR. the pr released about not using the double Irish Dutch sandwich tax route read like something good. In reality the route is not a valid route anymore since this year.
I see no argument why, for example, the NYC subway/bus shouldn't be free for all.

Literally everybody needs to get around the city. But a one-size-fits-all fare hits the poor far harder than the rich.

Just fund it with city taxes that can be made progressive, so each billionaire can subsidize the cost of 1,000 others, who are probably their employees anyways.

And for those who ask "what about visitors/foreigners?!", the answer is easy -- just build it into the hotel tax. Raise it by $10/day, which will cover close to 2 round-trips.

For a company that claims not to do evil, they sure are going in that direction.

They are essentially closing the door behind them on tracking, to keep competitors out of the game..while continuing to use their own proprietary technology and data to track our habits and show us ads.

I'm not sure how this monopolistic behavior is much different than Microsoft in the 90s. I guess the main difference is that to the average person, it's not as obvious, and they can use the misdirection of 'privacy' to make it seem like they are improving things.

I stopped using Chrome this year. It suddenly started randomly freezing on me in Ubuntu after the last update.
I started on the D front end in 1999. It was attached to the NorthwestC/Datalight/Zortech/Symantec/DigitalMars backend (for DMD), to gcc (for GDC) and to LLVM (for LDC). The backend was originally written for my C compiler, then my C++ compiler. The source code can be found here:

https://github.com/DigitalMars/Compiler

The editor I use is https://github.com/DigitalMars/med which is translated to D from the older C version https://github.com/DigitalMars/me

I don't care for IDEs because they only work on one machine (I develop on several). ME works identically on all of them, and is easy to port.

I keep thinking of transitioning to vim, but never get around to it. The text editor is not the gating factor to my productivity, anyway. Most of my coding sessions consist of simply staring at the code. What helps most is lots of windows open on a BFM (Big Frackin Monitor). I want a wall sized monitor with a retina display.
well, you'll be glad to know that I'm working on a project that helps children eat healthier food and exercise. I'm using machine learning to provide a custom experience for parents and children alike (not all children have access to the same type of food - strawberries, for example, are expensive and hard to find on some parts of Brazil so the app must not indicate that kind of food to people from that area)
> Clojure doesn't because it's a Lisp in Java, and Java doesn't.

I keep hearing this and I have no idea where it comes from. x86_64 doesn't either, Clojure has recur, and prefers consistent var semantics to silently specialcasing some tail calls. There's no particularly good reason the compiler couldn't just do it.
With Wireguard you set DNS server IP directly in the config file, it is not negotiable over the connection. So you can edit the config to set it to your pihole's ip. Or remove the DNS line altogether and then it won't touch your DNS settings at all.
Huh? They’re completely unrelated.
Yup I got it too.
You should open a diner: TZIF

When I lived in the Middle East, I imagined a chain of dry bars called: TAIT

(Up until about 6 years ago, the Omani and Saudi outlets would have been called TAIW)
Officially practiced doesn't mean ideas are current and common. Government forms tend to be fossilized examples of culture and conventional wisdom from (sometimes many) decades ago. This is not unique to the US.
Agreed, 30 mins is not enough time to get into "deep work" for programming. At best you could do some business-y tasks.
Recent release of Firefox, on a developer laptop.

Edit: add more details.
It says salary, tuition & vacation. So I wouldn't be surprised if that's a $160k estimation for the whole thing for the 4 years!
But yeah, either way, better than $60k/y in tuition you end up owing!
Holocaust denial is offensive and frequently a precursor to Nazi ideology. Antivax leads to children not getting medicated.

Flat Earth though seems pretty valuable to me. It's an intellectual exercise to argue a challenging position, and to do so you must learn the evidence you're arguing against. Until flat Earth advocates start getting into NASA or something I can't see how they're doing any harm.

In general, I tend to think that even if some ideas are toxic and should be kept from children or the mentally disturbed, there's nothing wrong with discussing ideas of any kind between people speaking peacefully and consensually.
Fewer, more expensive ads are preferable in some cases. It tends to push out bottom feeding advertisers and leads to higher quality ads from bigger brands. It also allows for fewer ad placements which can sometimes be more profitable if it sufficiently improves user engagement and stickiness.
'A tour of C++' by Stroustrup is a good overview of modern C++.

I recently got back into C++ after big hiatus, just like you, and for me the things that changed are:

- definitely the things you mentioned: much safer constructs (unique_ptr, move semantics)
- the use of CMake as a build system
- much less focus on arcane templates and libraries like Boost
- new tools like sanitizers
- new IDEs (CLion)
I also don't see what has changed if businesses using 3rd party cookies to identify and track users switch to fingerprinting to identify and track users. My privacy is still being invaded in exactly the same way. Forcing companies to fall back to more bizarre and costly tactics seems to be the only path to victory.
That seems really high. The entirely unsubsidized tuition rate for Ivies is between 45-50k per year. With room and board and all other school related fees that usually rises to 65-70k per year.

That is entirely without subsidy. It leaves out other living expenses that can come with various club activities and other activities of that nature. But 300k would leave about 5k per year for other incidentals. Again this is entirely unsubsidized.

The only other factor here is summer breaks, but those are usually filled in by paid internships/research positions at Ivy schools.

Comparing genetic ancestry and self-reported race/ethnicity in a multiethnic population in New York City

Self-reported race/ethnicity is frequently used in epidemiological studies to assess an individual’s background origin. How- ever, in admixed populations such as Hispanic, self-reported race/ethnicity may not accurately represent them genetically because they are admixed with European, African and Native American ancestry. We estimated the proportions of genetic admixture in an ethnically diverse population of 396 mothers and 188 of their children with 35 ancestry informative mark- ers (AIMs) using the STRUCTURE version 2.2 program. The majority of the markers showed significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in our study population. In mothers self-identified as Black and White, the imputed ancestry proportions were 77.6% African and 75.1% European respectively, while the racial composition among self-identified His- panics was 29.2% European, 26.0% African, and 44.8% Native American. We also investigated the utility of AIMs by showing the improved fitness of models in paraoxanase-1 genotype–phenotype associations after incorporating AIMs; however, the im- provement was moderate at best. In summary, a minimal set of 35 AIMs is sufficient to detect population stratification and estimate the proportion of individual genetic admixture; however, the utility of these markers remains questionable.
I have a couple of questions.

1. What type of product/service has your team been building?

2. What did you do when 10 non-permission-seeking engineers went off in different directions doing their own things?
Yes, these things can work. I think Plain TeX would be more likely to work better in fifty years than LaTeX; I use Plain TeX myself. I think TSV is also good.

I think PDF is complicated, though. (However, there are simpler subsets defined which omit some complicated stuff.) (If you really need to store the contents of a page, PNG might do.)

The SQLite version 3 database format is also unlikely to change I think and it is documented. (SQLite is also in the public domain, which also helps. You can avoid WAL and that other stuff if you want to ensure working in future, I suppose.) (If it does change a lot, probably it won't be called version 3, any more, I think.)
Well done.

You showed yourself that you were a worthy programmer when you decided to code a lot of cool projects for fun.

You showed the world once you put them online.

I find the #1 measurable determinant of great programmers is enough true joy from programming that they create many sub-projects just for fun. I'm so glad you found a venue to show it.

I hope you enjoy your new role and an amazing career to come. You earned them.
Funny how environment is continually dropped from the conversation of race in favor of heritability. You note that there is now East African dominance in marathon running. That has not always been the case however. As East Africans were provided opportunity to compete on a level playing field their talents whether inherited, conditioned by demand, and/or environmental were demonstrated. Now there is intense competition and selection pressure for the fastest East African runners. West Africans and East African are of the same race, but differ in the case of marathon outcomes. Why can’t this be true for intellect?

Discrimination is not some leftist fantasy. Black Americans have been systematically deprived of quality environments for over 400 years. I am talking about truly horrific intellectual deprivation from making it illegal to read during slavery to living in highly polluted sections of segregated cities today.

When we talk about intellectual disparities history needs to be part of the conversation.
I disagree - it was a really great product, something to be emulated. When it came out, there was nothing like it, and it truly felt like a step change compared to the existing sites. It was not quite the same impact, but felt like a shadow of the feeling when you first used Google instead of Altavista.

One thing the HN community values is really good, well-executed products, and it's instructive to learn what killed this great one. I'm sorry to see that it was mostly antitrust shenanigans and competitors catching up (flights.google.com is very good now) that made the gap between Hipmunk and others fade.

Hipmunk however has made searching for flights better than if it had never existed at all, and I am thankful for that. I still don't think the UI of Google flights is quite as good as it TBH.
I heard somewhere, don’t remember where, but the easiest route to wealth, I heard, was simply to be born with it.
Congratulations, man! Your story is super positive I love it.
It's very polished. I was expecting something much more rougher looking.
I agree that this is too messy, including cars, airplanes, also stereo systems, computer instruction sets, TV sets, and more. Don't make it so complicated that it cannot be worked so well.

It is the reason to continue to have phonograph records; sound quality has nothing to do with it.
Would be nice for (a) company/ies to do the same and allow for remote work while partnering with online program(s) (a la udemey & co or even some Harvard online). That way, it would let people all over the world access it and pool some really dope talent for the company(ies)!
The students would be thrilled for the free or subsidized education while having some real world practice from real world companies.
I remember hating how dumb some of the projects were in school and how going out of your way to make the project really awesome didn't really earn you much.
Functionality is similar, but containers are a lot easier to manage than profiles in FF for me. Everything is right in the container icon and you don't have to re-login like when setting up profiles. You can create new containers and remove unused ones in a couple of seconds vs profiles which are much slower to manage.

I don't bother with profiles any more, especially since there's a one click option to open all the container tabs in a new window as well.

The huge downside with them is they don't sync across devices. If/When this comes they will be perfect.
It could be released as free & open source software. That would be valuable.
Did those companies go out of business? An ad company in its death throws is going to be annoying right up until someone puts it out of its misery.
User authentication would be handled somewhere :)

But ya, I bet they're going to push hard on "provide us openid connect" in future contract negotiations to solve the security problem.
The codeless way of doing it: Set up a daily recurring event on Google Calendar, with an email reminder saying "Wazzaaaap?" then you reply to it. To accumulate, use Gmails search functionality.
Famously commented on by Damon Runyan:

One example is unconscious bias training. Modern meta-analyses strongly suggest that it doesn't work at all, that whatever the IAT is measuring is unrelated to patterns of discriminatory behavior. This is well-documented in the literature, and by a subset of news sites including some left leaning ones. But it would be completely impossible for a big company's HR department to say "we are cancelling our unconscious bias training because it doesn't do anything".
But the English languages also change over time. (I think Latin is less changing though these days, although they do continue to add new words, I think old words remain the same.)
Why were you trying to use a wire transfer for that? Maybe the bank incorrectly steered you towards that? If you consider a check an option for a transaction, a wire transfer doesn’t make sense.

Brian (the author of this article) used to live in the next town over from me in Japan :-) Super nice guy. Nice to see his work.

I've done my fair share of solo drinking in Japan. I tend to bring Japanese manga or books with me and read at the bar. This is kind of a flag that says, "I speak Japanese". I've never failed to spend the evening chatting with people :-) So I don't think people are necessarily looking for solitude.

I also often see young women sitting by themselves in cafes. Sitting at a table by yourself sends a really different message. However, even then usually I find that regulars get to know the staff and that usually results in people getting to know each other. It's a bit like going to a local pub in the UK -- the staff introduces you to other people if you are a regular.

The absolute biggest thing that I find different is young women going on trips alone. This is incredibly popular and obviously a departure from older culture. My friends who were young when I met them (been here long enough that I don't have any young friends left!) often specifically wanted to travel alone. It was a kind of spirit of adventure. If you have only yourself to depend on, then it's more exciting. And they don't just go to safe places. I've had friends go camping in literal war zones! Maybe I just have crazy friends :-) For me, though, it's one of the biggest surprises of the current Japanese culture.
Hopefully not, but it sounds like a damn good reason to see what's going on inside your house if some were so inclined
"...I don't think governments should have to pay costs associated with fixing bad rules or addressing an injustice."

AZ's POFA 2006 (and equiv in other states) sounds like Investor-State Dispute Settlement provision in NAFTA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investor-state_dispute_settlem...

Fortunately, it appears most of those cases, like when Methanex sued the USA for $970m when California banned MTBE, were dismissed on the basis that democratic governments should be able to decide things.
MinIO just made migrating data to/from AWS via Snowball simple and easy
Yea, but I don't think it's accurate to describe it as "market influence being removed": the responsibility just shifts from the lender to the borrower (who is better-positioned to make the call, from an informational standpoint).

> specifically because 18 year old don’t make good decisions.

I'm sympathetic to this argument because there are _some_ 18 year olds making these huge decisions without any reasonable guidance, but for a big chunk of the population, we're talking about 18 y/os + their parents + their college counselors.

And I'm also not claiming it's black-and-white: people (even adults) do very stupid things all the time, so it may be rational to have insurance cos bear part of the responsibility for measuring risk of a given student trying for a given degree. But

1) Given the extremely asymmetric information, this is an extremely blunt instrument, which will lead to countless hot takes about seemingly-ludicrous-but-inevitable false positives and negatives where a student is charged an absurd rate for something that makes sense in his case

2) It's simply not accurate to claim, as GP comment did, that the market influence is being removed: it's just being shifted from insurance co to student+advisors (who again, is much more equipped from an informational perspective to make this call)
For junior, particularly first job, candidates their GitHub (if they have one) is something I look at very closely.

They get points for knowing what a VCS is, points for creating an account, having anything on it, more if the stuff is any good, and they also get points for community activity like filing issues.

It really establishes whether the candidate has ever touched the technology and it shows initiative. There are other ways they can show this but GitHub is really easy. I find it generally more informative than whiteboards which I have rarely ever done.

For more senior candidates, I still look, still like to see at least a little activity (for instance, do you keep an eye on the repos of critical dependencies for your current project?), but generally there is less differentiation unless there is something truly impressive.

I haven't ever penalized a candidate for the low quantity or quality of what they put there. I think it would be stifling. For me I just collect the positives (unless there is anything truly alarming, which I've never encountered).
Well, they already run the world's largest infrastructure for hardware tokens with crypto processors in them.
Would you consider using neural nets to solve integration and differential equations as it doing system 2 reasoning?

Or what tasks are in the domain of system 2?
If it's in the budget, I would highly recommend the Macchina M2[1], especially if you need to access more than one bus at a time. It's based on the Arduino Due, with dual CAN transceivers (and LIN). It has a lot of bells and whistles - but can be simplified down to just a can sniffer if needed. I'm currently using one with SavvyCan to reverse engineer a vehicle for a project, and it has no problem keeping up with the high-speed network.

Are you comparing WW revenue with USA??
Yes, intelligence is 100% environmental and cultural factor, that’s why genetic affliction such as the Down syndrome has absolutely no effect whatsoever on the subject intelligence... It’s incredible how far some people will bury their head from evidences because of their ideological beliefs.

On the contrary, when some facts put a positive light on certain groups (for instance the better maximal physical performance) there is magically no taboo about it at all, and no pressure groups asking for "affirmation action".
> - Simple "records" : GNU Recutils format (https://www.gnu.org/software/recutils/)

Wow thanks for this recommendation. I've got a few things lying around that I've been using awk/bash for and where even sqlite is overkill but it looks like this solves the same issues in a much better and more concise way. I might try converting these this afternoon. Can't wait to give the csv conversion a try too.
My social anxiety story and some simple tips that may help you
No, they're two different things.
An appropriate free market solution would be to construct an easy way to search only the ad-supported web, or only the non-ad-supported web and let people choose.

The problem right now is that it's all mingled together.
I suspect your example is only meaningful to people who already share your view. Knowing nothing about the NFL I barely know what you're talking about here and have no idea what point it's supposed to be making.
Right, the taxation mechanism is typical, but it's the amount that's onerous. CA has the highest state income tax rate in the nation. If states are going to tax capital gains as income anyway, it's all the more reason to move to a state with low or non-existent state income tax.
That sounds like quite literally hell on earth. Thanks but no thanks (never mind the legal pandoras box of running your startup at your day job.)
Graduated from an unrelated degree more recently, but had the opportunity to write a whole lot of code while there. Got my first dev job right out of school.

There are much more opportunities nowaday to use coding in almost every major, sadly, the schools haven't changed, ending up imo ruining a lot of career.
Just saw this in your class this morning!
