Because the teaching isn’t just about the syntax. It’s the concepts. How to Design Programs, does exactly what your says, and it also teaches test driven development. A guide to Racket with pictures allows you to leverage DrRacket’s ability to display graphics inline to become familiar with programming in a more visual way, Making a language in an hour shows you how languages are parsed, and how Racket makes it easier to design your own. All of these things introduce you to concepts and ideas that are useful even if you forget everything about Racket the Language later on.
GDP growth is not indicative of a higher standard of living. It just means more things are part of the economy.

If I grow my own food and play board games with my family, it doesn't boost the GDP. However, if I go to MacDonald's and then send my kids to daycare while I go to the movies (3 economic transactions), it increases the GDP since those services are now commoditized.

Increasing the GDP might boost the standard of living in really poor countries, but there's a healthy ceiling until it becomes growth for the sake of growth.

I met with someone recently who offered 4-day workweek as a benefit, but it wasn't a 32-hour week over 4 days, it was just 4 longer days with the same number of total hours. It would be great to have 1 less commute, a 3 day weekend etc but where are the benefits of these computers that were supposed to save us all time?
All privacy constraints violate free speech. HIPAA? Free speech violation. Banking privacy/secrecy regulations? Free speech violation. Protecting the identity of crime victims? Free speech violation.

For that matter, laws against slander? Free speech violation. Laws against false accusation? Free speech violation. Laws against false advertising? Free speech violation. Laws against filing false tax returns? Free speech violation. Laws against perjury? Free speech violation.

So, if free speech is your only lens through which you view the legal system, there are a lot of free speech violations that are currently (and correctly) encoded into law. Privacy violations are one major area. So this violates the ISPs free speech, in order to protect their customers' privacy? Sounds perfectly fine (and normal) to me...
ISPs are often given franchises by local governments. They agree to make service available to a certain % of residents, even if they are not individually profitable, and provide decent speeds to schools etc. In exchange they get access to rights-of-way to run cables and other things that make competition difficult. It's kind of a natural monopoly anyway since keeping up all the physical plant is expensive and there's no reason for multiple companies to do it, kind of like water or power companies.
like, QR codes containing information about a bitcoin. You can actually print out these codes and then delete information on your computer allowing anyone to access them, effectively turning them into paper money.
maybe i'm just a jerk, but it bothers me when someone posts a project and doesn't link to an example of give a full description. i have no idea what anki cards are so i googled it and it's a pretty cool little open source flash card program. most people aren't going to do the research so it's best to have an explanation what all the components are. you don't have to be overly verbose, just a one liner explanation is fine most of the time.
I also had in mind branch prediction units, and stuff like Intel's TSX. I assume these days the former bleeds into many other parts of the architecture, including the microcode; I'm certain (but can't say authoritatively) that the latter does.

From a wholistic viewpoint I think it's fair to characterize modern CPUs as JIT-like. It's easy to trivialize individual aspects of the whole. You can do the same for software JITs. They're not magic (notwithstanding the breathless claims and river of thesis papers), and often simpler is better, anyhow (e.g. LuaJIT). For obvious reasons the tactics employed by CPUs will tend toward the simpler end of the spectrum.
Yeah -- it's frustrating that the privacy concerns brought up in the article are just blantantly wrong. Especially because there a legitimately interesting issues in the security write-up [1].

On the other hand, I suspect they probably won't get the mitigations for those real issues right the first time. It's a complicated system they're building, and I think someone will find a clever way to break it.

The article is clearly discussing E2E encryption between consumers of email and quite clearly uses PGP as a relevant example.

It even mentions hop-to-hop TLS of email as an obviously good idea (and presumably would likewise say at rest encryption is a good idea). None of this matters to the author's fundamental point. End to end encryption in email is silly and can't work because it isn't enforced at the protocol level.

You either haven't read the article or haven't understood it.

Edit: or disagree with its fundamental claim, but are talking about irrelevant issues instead for some reason.
I wonder whether the benefits decrease when the whole team does 4X10 - I found when I did 4X10 that I was much more productive for the two hours I was alone in the office. Of course, no saying everyone has to work the same 4X10.
RAM has always been my "go to" "I bet this is it" problem, but I've debugged my own machines and other people's machines and I haven't seen bad RAM in ages.

I avoid XMP, however, and typically manually specify the voltage that is listed in the RAM's spec sheet and run at the speed that the CPU manufacturer recommends. (So the RAM might be sold as 3200 but Intel says 2400 is the max, so I run it at 2400.)

I'm not an expert at all, but I follow news about fusion energy with keen interest. Getting to conditions where fusion reactions can take place requires modeling the physics with supercomputers. I think the physicists have a handle on the software required to do that modeling; they also have access to the computers.

I think if you have a software background and want to contribute, you should consider applying for a job with one of the projects themselves. General Atomics lists 135 software jobs (https://www.ga-careers.com/search-jobs/software/499/1) for instance.
But it still shows up on the balance sheet, so it doesn't look like you're bleeding money the same way an operating expense like a raise does.
Stripe is awesome, but not for worldwide SaaS licensing
Hello. It's not terrible; I think most of it makes sense but it is a bit hard to read at times. Maybe a proof reader could help make it less heavy (i.e. more simple english.) There's quite a lot of content on the front page and a modern users attention span is quite short.

HN wants to make everything seem and feel exactly the same but I personally like the flow of words and information - you can tell you've invested yourself into the software.

Ooooh, you're right. I didn't think of SNI.
I agree that IRC encryption is kind of moot, the issue with IRC is that most channels usually don't enforce SSL-only clients, meaning that you have both encrypted and unencrypted traffic going through, effectively making it unencrypted altogether as all it takes is snooping on a single unencrypted client. It's a shame too, honestly with Let's Encrypt being a thing nowadays I feel like IRC networks should be SSL only.

Something like spacemacs or Emacs Live, that takes care of all the configuration work to give a solid basis out of the box.

I've been dragging my feet on switching everything to nvim because I don't have 'awhile to get things configured properly' these days.

> Why would the carbon split? Why not stay carbon?

Don't know — I'm not knowledgeable enough in this area to do more than take WAGs about it. The sequence might be different: For example, the 1H proton might not ever fuse with the 5B11 to form 6C12; instead, the fusion reaction might be that the 5B11 fissions into two 2He4 and one tritium 1H3, after which the 1H proton fuses to the tritium to form the third 2He4.

> And wouldn't this technically be fission energy then?

See the explanation in this thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22383199 — it makes as much sense as anything.
Criticizing someone for making demands, or pointing out that not making demands is more likely to actually accomplish what they want, is not tone policing.

Hey, I commute by train to work (about an hour each way once you factor in trotting to the station, waiting for commuter shuttles, etc.), and I'm happy as a clam because I can draw on my iPad or play on my Switch for much of that time.

Now, if you're DRIVING that same hour, then yeah, you're nuts.
From experience I can say Vent was (is?) pretty horrible. You had to run your own or pay for a server too, which was a huge deterrent to adoption. Skype is fine, but not focused around rooms / channels.

Basically it was a ripe market with extremely bad products. I don't think Discord is anything amazing (seems fine for the most part), but they're clearly significantly better than what existed when they launched.
Yeah. Second one would be shorter as XOR EBX, EBX, because EAX is always zero after that AND.
Weird to stop short in the supply chain. Why don't they blame manufacturers and producers who use the oil and gas, or the consumers who burn the gasoline or use plastics, rubbers and other petroleum products.

You are more than welcome to not participate in any group that uses Discord, that is your choice not something that someone else is making you do. It isn't discrimination for a project to be using a tool that you don't want to use.
> A more realistic example IMO is the twitter friend leak one provided in the Github thread. Send an anchor like "twitter.com#:~:text=@handle" and see if their page-load matches the standard twitter homepage load, or did their browser scroll them halfway down the page and load additional stuff? If so, you can assume these 2 users are friends.,

It's still not realistic at all unless you can already snoop on them in some way.

The starting assumption here is "I assume I already violated someone's privacy in a massive way." Like, ok, sure you can violate it a little more in some situations maybe. But does this introduce any new risks in situations where user privacy hasn't already been so massively hijacked?

And since Chrome, along with others, are moving towards encrypted DNS, the feasibility of getting these DNS lookups is even less plausible than it is today. You need to actually be able to snoop on all the target's network traffic.
People required to use encrypted email may well be majority of users using encrypted email. In that context its for sure not corner case. But in context of all people using email and people looking for more privacy it is for sure corner case.

I think author is advocating for all of communications to be encrypted and it cant be email because its just bad. People should stop advocating for it.
This type of schedule is called a 9/80 and you work 80 hours every 2 work weeks.

Your Fridays "on" you work 8 hours instead of 9. And you get every other Friday off.

At my company, we have the option between the standard 5x8, the 9/80, and the 4x10 schedules. Surprisingly (at least to me), the 9/80 is by far the most popular (the 4x10 being the 2nd most popular and the standard schedule being the rarest option).
Thanks. In retrospect it's kind of funny that I ended up making one of those mistaken remarks that the original essay explicitly recommends against.

Damaging the processor? A CPU being unstable while overclocked doesn't mean it is damaging the CPU.
1) Your citizenship is not easily accessible over the internet anonymously. You would need to hand over personal data to prove that your personal data needs to be handled different. This doesn't work.

2) The point of location data not identifying you is in response to the parent comment saying that location could also be considered personal data. It can, but only if used in conjunction with enough other data to uniquely identify you; not to just check if you're currently in the EU.

3) Using a VPN prevents GDPR enforcement if your location is inaccurate. Again it comes down to the law preventing your personal data from being used before you consent, so whether your location is a fact or not doesn't matter when the service provider isn't allowed to use it in the first place and must rely on network lookup for a best guess.
A huge example/problem is the recent case against Girls Do Porn, where it turned out a huge number of performers had been lied to about whether or not their videos would go on the Internet, pressured into staying through shoots that fell outside the bounds of what they'd been agreed to, and in at least a few instances, raped.

It's likely a big part of the interest in requiring education/licensing prior to entering the business would be to make sure everyone knows the rules and what they can do about companies falling outside it. Sites based on getting first-time performers would have a much harder time sticking around without proving they were meeting all expectations.

So it's probably less about keeping women out of the industry than ensuring they're not taken advantage of. It's the same reason legalizing and then regulating prostitution would be safer for prostitutes than what we have now. Adult filmmaking isn't illegal (solely because of first amendment decisions), but it's also pretty poorly regulated.

(This comment is meant to add context, it's not support of the bill. There's huge privacy concerns, because government databases tend to not be super private, and a lot of families pretty much disown adult performers if they find out. But I wouldn't assume this bill has malicious intent, there's good reasons to add regulation too.)

The old school solution to lack of scrollback support in IRC, and similar, is to run a persistent irc client (bitchx or irssi) inside screen or similar software, on a linux or bsd shell system, which has 24x7x365 uptime and network connectivity. And then to connect and disconnect to the screen session as needed.

Properly implemented, I've had much better availability with this sort of solution than with Slack. I've seen multiple hour outages of Slack services just within the past 6 months, it's well below four or five nines reliability.

Something felt fishy about their claim that number of hours worked has been climbing in the United States so I checked their source. It turns out that "average annual hours worked" has changed from 1,780 in 2011 to 1,786 last year. This seems like barely a rounding error...

On the other hand, if you look at the FRED website it shows that average annual hours worked has massively decreased in the last 50 years: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/AVHWPEUSA065NRUG

1951, for example, shows 2,030 hours worked on average. That's the equivalent of more than six additional weeks of full time work.

I would say that Keynes's prediction that economic growth could get to the point where we would only need to work 15 hours a week (750 hours per year, assuming 2 weeks vacation) is ... trending towards becoming true? At current trends, it will take another ~280 years.

(Obviously this is a silly prediction but, an interesting thought experiment.)

I work from 7-5 each day, so even when I go to the gym or run a quick errand after work I can be home by 6, which strikes me as a "decent hour", although I suppose that's subjective.

> Signal can't work on an air gapped system

If this is the kind of thing you're resorting to claiming, we're well beyond reasonable forms of argument, and so I think it's safe to say that you agree that signal is better.

No communication protocol works on an air gapped system, and a modern Android or iOS device is going to be secure enough that you really don't need to use a special device for your messaging.

The riseup article doesn't mention anything about using a special device for your secure messaging, so I'm not sure why you think it's so important all of a sudden.

I used to take the Path trail from Jersey City and then transfer to the F trail to Queens. I let my boss think I love my job so much that I arrive at work pretty early on most days when in fact, I was just trying to account for the inevitable delays on some days.

I understand worker safety is important. Even if we didn't care about the workers, accidents can get very expensive and budget is tight. However, there has to be a better way than slowing ALL tracks to a crawl every time there is track work on ANY of the tracks.

I basically ruined myself for Anki. I started like gangbusters, and also created some really cool jazz music theory decks for myself that have lilypond notation snippets and sound samples of various chord qualities and advanced jazz modes. And this is on top of other subjects like ML, scala, logarithms, etc.

And then... I hit this mathematical limit where I just couldn't keep up. You can't add 20 new cards a day for any length of time without the review cycle getting overwhelming. I'm not sure it's even physically possible to Anki full recall of everything learned in a college course - each class would need to be much longer than a term to keep up with the review.

One solution is to just keep plugging away, reviewing what you can and hoping the things you answer correctly will relieve the pressure as they come up less frequently. But since you're late on many card, recall sucks and I never really made much headway.

I also have a really hard time retiring cards. It's like deciding to cross things off your TODO list that you'll never do, you always want to keep it on thinking you might do it someday. Same with a not very relevant piece of info, it's right in front of you, it still feels like it might be useful to know...

This article does a great job answering the question "why don't compilers use AH/AL/etc. like DOS compilers did in the good old days?" Short answer: it causes unnecessary dependencies because the other parts of the register are preserved.

It also answers the question "why don't compilers emit INC and DEC?" Short answer: they don't set the carry, so on some CPUs that means that they cause an unnecessary dependency on the previous instruction that sets EFLAGS.

The x86 ISA really is a mess!
