You're right, I just don't care for the author's notes on language design because they're all on syntax design, which is an impossible task to do in morsels without knowing anything about the rest of the language or how it is supposed to work.

I do prefer postfix because I think it flows very nicely "this is-a thing assigned-to that" is nicer than "thing called this assigned-to that."

In terms of the impact on the language, optional postfix annotation makes it a bit trickier if you want to make the identifier optional, and in languages that support it you tend to see special syntax to deal with that case (which breaks the author's fetish for self consistency).

Personally I think ordering of the trio of "alias" "thing" "value" should be consistent across the language, which extends far past variable assignment, and any one of the trio can be left out.
That has been the case for the last 250 years and somehow the republic survived that pretty well. Surely there were some absurd SCOTUS decisions, but there were also some absurd laws, absurd executive orders and absurd government actions on all levels. Nothing changed there, SCOTUS haven't become any different than it was and is as capable of handling complexities of life as it ever was. I don't think there's any need to specifically single out journalists as special protected class that have different rights form all other people and need special care from SCOUS who otherwise will be unable to figure out such thing as destroying privacy on the internet.
Just a tip upon first glance...

You might want to make the homepage a bit more politically correct by changing up the first (and only?) two incarcerated ethnicities from being Black and Hispanic.

I am aware they make up the majority of the American prison population, but they really shouldn't.

Seems like a worthwhile project though. Good luck!
Lol if only SEC actually had any way of having strong enforcement.

I love how white collar crimes which involve stealing money get punished by.....requiring them to pay money.

Someone can probably minmax the right amount to steal to make sure they make a profit at the end of it all.
The grammar of C++ is not a context-sensitive grammar. It's Turing-complete, on account of its template metaprogramming capabilities.

At this point, I'm fairly sure he either has a cyclic mental illness causing him to be reckless in waves; is incredibly sleep-deprived to the point of executive function broadly going sideways; or has a serious problem with tweeting (and apparently earnings calls) while on stuff.

It's possibly all three.

Whatever the case, it resembles a lot what my ADHD did when it was completely unmanaged and at peak. But I didn't have a few billion dollars to make people have to put up with me. It definitely smells like impulse control/executive function in some way or the other.

Many of such rules when applied would have put half the wall street in jail after 2008. Instead they got bailouts. Many things that Trump has done would have got presidents impeached 50 years ago.
Not really. Was just using max average upload speed at. Test was done on my laptop, my firewall uses fq-codel so max bufferbloat delay would be below 50ms in most cases.
Sure, if you're not trying to serve with low latency then this doesn't matter to you. But if you're happy with hundreds of milliseconds of tail latency you also don't need SSDs, 64-core CPUs, 100g ethernet, or anything else newer than ten years old. It's only interesting to evaluate the software on the frontier of performance.
The "imo" he added at the end clarifies it's his personal opinion.

The market deserves this for being so irrational; the people who sold probably all made profit because they bought it far lower, and then it'll bounce back up - where the long-gamers will repurchase it at a discount taking a risk/gamble that they'd expect irrational dump of stock for the opportunity to buy when it's low.

Stock market games aren't as obvious as people make them out to be - and they wouldn't be happening if Elon wasn't convinced by someone to not take Tesla private like he wanted to.
Serious question, but why doesn't the same apply for Trump? Why is he allowed to tweet any old crazy thing but Elon isn't?
This is a bit off-topic but I really love POV-Ray and I think it is a fun fact people reading this thread might like:

In that case perhaps the wording on the front page should be:

"Sitesauce publishes your static sites to Vercel (formerly ZEIT), offering unlimited bandwidth and their world-class CDN for no additional cost."

That makes it clear that you aren't the one hosting and that it is actually Vercel. My initial understanding was that you would pull my data and host it yourself using Vercel as your host. Since you are using the host's API do you have any plans to integrate with other hosts, such as AWS?

We are in the most privacy-focused time in history. You can live your life without interaction, and requiring people/govt to respect your privacy more than ever before, relying on fewer and fewer others in the community. Everything is moving towards the individual. All your examples are minor tech-focused small matters in life that have little to do with fundamental shifts in society.
How is that an insane deal? Like someone in a sister thread mentioned, the interest rates are so low that paying later has very little benefit since you can barely invest the money anywhere else. All this does is make you pay the same amount a little bit later.

additionally, it's hard to overstate how impressive modern javascript JITs are, as well as GPUs.

I would like to re-balance out your balancing:

If you ride a bike every day, you probably won't be obese for long. Decent e-bikes do fine even with obese people, the motor is not the primary motor, it is only meant to assist your pedaling.

Powerful LED-based lights for bikes exist, and will absolutely both make you visible to anyone, and let you see any potholes etc.

You can carry plenty on a bike. For instance there are panniers and pannier bags front and back, bike trailers, backpacks made specifically for biking. Go further and you have cargo bikes, both trikes, reverse trikes and bakfiets/Long Johns. Beyond that, there are specialized moving "van" e-bikes, which I've seen used in the Netherlands.

Toddlers can ride trailer bikes, which attach to your own bike, and lets them pedal and help out, preparing them to ride their own bikes.

Bikes don't toss people over the handlebars "all the time", only when people have absolutely no feeling with the front brake and just jam it on as hard as they can. Learning a bit of basic motor skill completely prevents it from happening.

In 30+ years of cycling, I have never lost traction once. It's basically impossible to force the rear wheel to slip unless you jam the brake for a sweet powerslide. For the front wheel, just steer around any gravel or other loose material in corners, it's a very basic bike-riding skill.

Distance is a factor, that is a tradeoff you make for a less expensive house, but also a significantly longer commute. This is where bikes work great in tandem with public transit. You ride the bike to the station and bring it with you and ride the proverbial last mile. It does take a little bit of effort to optimize for better cycling conditions, but the payoff is absolutely worth it. And it won't be a perfect solution for 100% of people, because it doesn't have to be. As long as we get a significant percentage of people to bike, that's a victory!

The bicycle is one of the greatest mobility-increasing inventions of human history. It put entire populations on wheels, let them transport their produce much easier and much farther than simply carrying it. They're inexpensive, simple to repair and DIY.

Millions of Americans in cities like NYC, LA, SF, Seattle love their bikes. The reason they are not more popular is due to the overall infrastructure in the US being hardcore focused almost entirely on cars and cars only.

His tweet is literally a "projection, forecast, or estimate" of "numbers regarding Tesla’s business" (the stock price) "that have not been previously published in official company guidance".

It's also absolutely "any information about the company’s financial condition or guidance".

I don't see any way this doesn't fall in the list of bullets. Saying the stock price is too high is nothing but a guidance as to the company's financial condition.
I doubt that most mass-market auto manufacturers want to move away from the franchise dealer model. It's tremendously capital intensive. Tesla can make it work since their cost of capital is so low. Where would Ford or GM get the billions in funding to run thousands of dealerships across the country?
It is my belief that Elon has Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disor... ) I was involved with an organization where the leader had NPD. Their actions made little sense until I did a little reading on NPD and then it all made sense. The most disconcerting thing about NPD, IMO, is that many folks who have it tend to end up with little (or large) groups of people who latch on to them defend them even when there's no logical reason to do so.

> how fast you can move heat into the working fluid and how fast the radiator can move it out of the working fluid.

Nitpick: "working fluid" here implies that cooling has to involve a liquid. But there are solid-state (e.g. peltier) CPU coolers, which of course have no "working fluid." They suck, but they exist!

(I think the suckiness of the existing peltier CPU coolers might be due to their small size, though. If you gave one of them as much solid-state thermal mass to work with as a water-cooling setup has fluid thermal mass, it might be rather efficient, for the same reason a chest freezer is efficient.)
I was hopping this followed his retarded "FREE AMERICA NOW" tweet, but of course, how naive of me.

Or like listening to a description of a song. The speaker might tell you the lyrics, even hum the various parts. If the song is simple (corresponding to perhaps simple and interesting facts about our solar system), vocals will give a good rendition of it. But if the song is intricate (like quantum mechanics), without the full band, all you are listening to is a hollow echo of the song.

The children is a smoke screen. The government wants control. Encryption threatens that control, because now citizen communications can not be snooped onto, so nobody knows what those sneaky bastards are up to. The government hates being in that position. So they invent plausibly sounding excuse (which is usually protecting children, because it's politically impossible to be against protecting children unless you're a crazy libertarian and nobody listens to crazy libertarians) to change this. It didn't take long for surveillance which was sold under the guise of fighting terrorism to be abused for every government purpose they liked, from drug war to getting dirt on political opponents. Same will happen immediately with this law, if it gets passed.

Sure, use whatever material information you like to decide your estimate of what you think the company is worth.

But if one tweet is worth 1/9th as much as all the other public information you've used to arrive at that estimate, then I don't have a whole lot of faith in your number.
One of the items, of many, that worries me about this wild west season of ventilator innovation is that many of these new ventilators lack a common interface. Users are trained a long time on how best to use a ventilator using a very limited variety of user interfaces. I think it's very dangerous to expect a respiratory therapist to handle all the varieties of respirator interfaces that I'm sure are being created. New interfaces always mean mistakes, it's part of the learning process. We see it in software all the time. A user gets a brand new interface so it takes time for the user to acclimate to it. When you are dealing with a wordprocessor it's no big deal to make a mistake but a machine that can save or kill a patient depending on how it's being used is a whole different situation.

I wonder, what is being done about that?
Ah got it. I hope there is some level of scrutiny on what gets posted. But agreed on not offthread comments.
Yeah, for sure. I was including sales tax etc in "what you consume". And there's actually a good argument to be made that countries that are popular digital nomad destinations could benefit greatly from setting up a specific visa class for remote workers. Most visa laws do not take remote work into account, or else unenforceably prohibit other sources of income, and a country that took a careful look at the up and downsides and set something up accordingly could reap serious benefits.

Morally it's a bit hazy at the moment. But if we think we'd be OK with someone living in our own country in three month chunks, while all the income they generate that is not spent on local goods/services essentially goes offshore, then no problem I guess. Add to that the fact that for the analogy to be accurate, our hypothetical person would likely speak our country's language at an extremely basic level, or not at all.

edit: just saw your edit and now I will have to edit accordingly >_<

edit:

>Working visas allow people to take jobs from locals, which not what “digital nomads” are doing.

This is getting into slightly different ground than my OP. In the Asian countries I'm familiar with, almost all visas for foreigners do not take jobs from locals--they are for jobs locals can't do for whatever reason.

I agree with some of what you wrote about NZ and digital nomads' spending generally, but I still think it's reasonable to expect tax revenues from someone who is employed and in a country longer than 180 days. That's when the NZ government starts to consider NZ citizens as NZ tax residents--after 180 days in country. "Wanna stick around? Gotta contribute." is just my basic view I think, but thanks for your input.

It absolutely should apply for Trump.

But Trump already had a public history of crazy tweets (global warming is a Chinese hoax) and statements (grab them by the pussy) and he got elected anyway, so I guess the bar for sanity and impulse control is higher for a CEO in the eyes of the American public than for a President.

Or maybe not, since it doesn't seem like either has actually suffered any material, significant consequences for their actions.
a few things:

- the data is flat arrays of numbers

- there is no per-datapoint memory allocation beyond whatever is necessary for the browser to construct the canvas Path2D object. this keeps the memory pressure low and the GC nearly silent.

- the amount of draw commands is reduced by accumulating the min/max data values per pixel

- uPlot does not generate axis ticks by walking the data. it only uses min/max of the x and y ranges and finds the divisions from that.

- there is no mass-creation of Date objects, data is kept in timestamp format except when hovered.

- the date/time formatting is done by pre-compiling templates and not re-parsing them all the time.

- the cursor interaction uses a binary search over the x array

I think a critical skill for a developer is to be able to realize when you are frustrated, distance yourself from the problem and ask what is going on, 5 Why's style.

Developers know about the Boiled Frog problem. But we sometimes don't know when we are the frog. We keep hill-climbing one solution because we are only trying to do one little thing so of course I should be able to do a small to medium thing to accomplish it.

We also send out mixed messages on rewrites, and I'm guilty of it too. But there's gotta be some litmus test where we compare the number of interacting states in the requirements versus the number of interacting states in the code and just call Time of Death.
First I'd like to thank you for the comment. You made me realize a mistake I made in mentioning JPay and Securus when I meant to say Global Tel Link and Securus.

As far as pushback from other companies, we haven't received any so far. There's nothing they can really do besides make their services more appealing. Currently, with Letters (our first app), it allows users to sign up, add their contacts (inmates), and then type out a letter and also are given the option to attach an image. Then we use a third party service, Lob, to print off the letter and send it. Given that we're just working with physical mail, there's absolutely nothing they can do to stop us.

One type of pushback we can receive is from facilities themselves. One facility returned one of our letters and said that you can't have anything in the letter that could be some form of encrypted message or symbol. In our case, that happened to be the bar code used by the third party service to manage their letters.

In the future, we'd like to also offer services like free video chat/messaging. In my opinion, we're not far from being able to offer those kinds of services. I can definitely imagine some sort of pushback happening in that space, but what kind specifically is TBD. I'm excited though, because if we can get to that point, we'll be literally transforming the system.
