Just out of curiosity, have you verified in some way that your alternative is legitimate? (Like maybe there are some contexts you haven't considered where other aspects of Nock are necessary.)

If so, are you sure the Urbit folks just didn't happen to discover this simpler/clearer way of doing it? Or do they have some motivation for making it obscure?
Sorry my moralizing in characterizing the bad Ad Hominem fallacy wasn’t strong enough for you. In the future I will try my best to moralize in a way that involves something more akin to feeling the Holy Spirit as per fundamentalist Christian churches.

I think C++/WinRT is more of a "modern C++" projection than C++/CX, and they aren't an also-known-as, although they meet similar goals. For example, with the ^ reference:

"Have you ever had a software update break your computer or an app you used, or have you ever had a website you love disappear from the internet? Imagine if that could never happen again."
I think launch demands might expand to fit the capacity. It’s hard to predict what uses people will put a new technology to.

I'm not sure there's a big population of people who want to inject anything or that 5G transmits covid - in fact, even in those quarantined subs on Reddit, those aren't mentioned.

Many of them were called "conspiracy nuts" when they accused China of mass burning bodies and lying about death rates - something the US intelligence community has now confirmed.
In fairness, Stripe also kind of brushed this off until it got more attention.

There are StackOverflow posts going back to 2017[0] and Github issues with direct acknowledgement from Stripe employees with no solution offered.[1]

I even reached out to Stripe support before publishing my first post, and they told me that the collection behavior was by design and in my users' best interest.[2]

I've been very impressed by Stripe's response here, but it's demonstrably not the same response they deliver to customers who go through normal support channels.

I used to tell my friend this and she was positive she'd never earn more than $50K CAD/year, and always said I was overpaid as a developer making ~$70K/year at the time. These days she has advanced far more than I have, and she'll continue to. Even as a developer with no education or particularly special skills, your ceiling in Canada isn't all that high. I'm the epitome of a 1xer though, so I can't speak for everyone. I can earn around $90k, but she's earning $120k now – that only took about 7 years for a 240% increase. Having an education can be a huge asset to your career, and she couldn't have her career without hers.

> I don't see the problem. It's Amazon's money; they are entitled to spend it however they want.

If they actually were selling products at a loss to put competitors out of business, that would be considered predatory pricing. Imagine Apple using their iPhone profits to sell MacBooks for $200 - it would distort the market and eliminate competition. It might be good for consumers in the short run, but much worse when they were the only game left in town.
Not with Magisk.
My record consists of a felony drug charge from over 10 years ago.

I only ever bring up my record if I'm asked about it or right as I'm submitting my background check forms. Seems to have worked out well so far. Once I didn't even bother mentioning it, did the background check, no questions were ever asked.

There was another time (7 years ago) where I was offered a job and then had the offer revoked due to the background check where I marked the dreaded box. This was for a public transportation authority in a major
US city.

Unfortunately for you, my research on this topic seems to indicate crimes of dishonesty (like theft) are more frowned upon.
One of SpaceX's customers is NASA; SpaceX launches satellites for many government and corporate clients.[1] NASA and the USAF have definitely been good customers for them, but SpaceX was started in 2002, with no government seed funding, and it didn't receive any government money for ~5 years.

I'm not so impressed. Instead of contacting authorities and privacy organizations, they decided that they had to design, implement and run this system by themselves. And instead of informing users, we had to find out from the work of a researcher. It's just bad. In their communication they are asking for forgiveness, but they should have asked for permission.

This is not how companies should deal with privacy.
Multigig switches are expensive because they're new. The products have NRE expense to pay off and so do the chips inside them. There's not yet the volume to make them really cheap. They will get cheaper.

The question is will they get cheaper faster than 10G? Perhaps. Despite being 14 years old 10G is just starting to get put into reasonably priced prosumer switches so it doesn't have that much of a head start practically.
With some fleshing out, this is an excellent rendition of the { DRM, malware, spyware } evolutionary path, pretty close to what was described to me by RealNetworks back in the dotcom era.

Need to add anti-reverse-engineering techniques - obfuscation, self-modifying code, custom and hard to reason about embedded VMs, etc. other than anti-debugger and test harness detection. I think earlier on.
Bailouts are public. But that doesn't mean there aren't bailouts of private sector.

If government doesn't bailout idiots like e.g. private banks, their entire economy can collapse. That means no pensions, no jobs, and destroyed economy.
Hey HN:

We are launching a product that we have been working for awhile. We were frustrated with the current scheduling solutions which were difficult to get users up and running with. We are taking beta testers and would LOVE your feedback.

We were inspired by Airflow but felt Airflow was missing many features and is often a nuisance to deploy and maintain. We wanted to build a solution that works out of the box so even the less technical users can get started quickly.

With Particle, you can build, deploy, and manage your DAGs all from a UI. It also comes with first class support for backfilling and manual running. It is also built on top of OSS so you can avoid vendor lock in and take your DAGs elsewhere.
Not only that, but one of my favourite and most comfortable t-shirts is a Redis Labs shirt. Kudos all round

I am using a Google Pixel device. I have no idea whether Magisk works on Samsung phones.
Are you glad to kill blacks for the sake of old whites?
Because the objects are products of the US gov't research.

Most likely, IMO, guided MRVs being tested. ...that's why the folks at ArmsControlWonk are suggesting as well.
And now Google do the same in the browser. They're regularly being called out by Mozilian but most people dismiss it as "the coders are human".
As a Brit, I feel I should point out we definitely do have credit ratings. The three main ratings agencies are Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.
Quote: "...more business with the U.S. government is the best “disinfectant” to the FUD around its connection with China."

This cracked me up so hard that I've woken my wife and kids (it's ~3AM for me).
Primary business is selling products, and we have been building off an existing solution because of regulatory requirements.

Fortunately when everything is complete we would only need to focus on upkeep and maintenance, but it would be nice if we set a system in place now to avoid pain down the road.
What about cross datacenter replication.
I’d be interested to know from someone knowledgeable whether Apple can recognize the revenue from a sale before the product has been delivered to the customer. It’s not clear to me that they can/do.

This is a reply to both you and OP, but I don't see what Urbit has to do with any government, its inventor's political opinions notwithstanding.
> I see some hype just there. Is there any study on what the world will look without William Shakespeare influence? Or it is Shakespeare so famous like the Mona Lisa is (It has its merits and place in history, but, not the one that the press has given)?

Did you not encounter Shakespeare in school? He is the literal center of the Western canon. Calling attention to Shakespeare’s origins (which we will never be sure about) a “trendy obsession” is laughable.
You might be fully aware, but containers doesn't have to be docker/kubernetes. Previously OpenVZ, and now LXC/LXD is great for replacing full VMs in a lot of scenarios. The isolation is great and it's way less resource intensive than full containers.
I once read a setting resource for an RPG system set in a multidimensional university which cut out the middleman and offered its own student loans. Predatory as Illuminati University was, it seems like a better system than what we have now.
In the UK the electoral register can be purchased by advertisers, etc. You can opt out of this.

The electoral register is also given to the big credit reference agencies. This is obligatory. If you want a vote then Experian (and the rest) get your data.

Credit reference agencies most definitely operate in the UK.
Yea I think it's part status quo (from a narrow perspective) and also an example of, "if all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail."

For people involved in the energy sector, but only really know coal, the only way they can comprehend maintaining and expanding business is to maintain and expand coal operations. The industry may pivot, but the dinosaurs (har har) of coal will often just maintain their current course until they become extinct (har har again).

If you want a Turing complete combinator VM with transparent serialization of all values, there it is. Nock is not a serious language, I would love to hear what aspects you think it has that could be relevant in whatever context.

I'm pretty sure Yarvin's motivation for making the project obscure was just trolling.
this is awesome, I have previously been looking for something like this - where I wanted to learn more about a topic/discover podcasts on this sort of thing.

when I was looking at the cost to transcribe it just didn't make sense to do it for myself.

hope this works out well!
The consensus within the nuclear proliferation community (at least the community or researchers at the Arms Control Wonk slack channel) believe these to be a test of guided MRVs after a re-entry test.

It seems pretty plausible. The hyper-speed, flying in formation, and the shape of the objects - all seem to be plausible for guided re-entry vehicles for a MRV nuclear missile test.
I think he's talking about all deaths, not the death's of positively tested, which allows you to guess the number of corona deaths even if you have few tests. This is also known as mortality displacement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortality_displacement
Cutaneous Manifestations of Covid‐19
The most important thing I ever learned from Professor Norvig was how to not get fat at Google. He said, "Never take a tray. If it won't fit on one plate, it's too much".

A wise man.

I mean I suppose some of the stuff I learned from his textbook was pretty useful too.
Smartphones became popular in Asia long before the USA too, and there was a big market for flip phone apps there too while those never caught on in the US. This model seems more than even US-centric or Anglo-centric. Its Valley-centric.

I don't know what their reasoning is, but I suspect it's a mix of everything discussed on this thread: ancap/right-libertarian ideology, an affinity for sexy tech regardless of usefulness, faulty reasoning by historical analogy, reality distortion due to having made money off the crypto bubble, and a bit of sunk cost fallacy.

I am willing to be proven wrong. Show me growing uses of cryptocurrency that are not one of: niche wire transfer applications, black/grey market commerce, cryptocurrency aficionados nerding out, gambling, speculation, fraud, or solutions in search of a problem. Those are all (except the last two) real applications to varying degrees, but they're not large, rapidly growing, mainstream, or of that much interest to business customers.

In other words show me something someone that doesn't care about cryptocurrency would use. The Internet in the mid-90s offered a ton of things people wanted to use even if those people didn't know what an IP packet was.

I have asked the above in various forums, Twitter, etc. for years and so far nobody can produce anything. The closest I've ever seen is this:

It's the only ICO project I know of that has actually shipped something usable and possibly useful. Still that's one singular example and it's not like they're going to displace Amazon S3 or Backblaze any time soon.
This is a very interesting article, especially since I can now appreciate the meaning, having spent the last year doing both SQL schema design and backend development that works off that schema.

The main point here is that Language null is a possible value, whereas Database NULL is a composite with several different meanings, which can often trip up people who are not familiar with how some SQL systems treat it (NULL <> NULL, etc)

The important takeaway from this article is that DB NULL can arise for a variety of reasons (taken from the article):

1. The field has a value but it isn't known.

2. The field has no value because it isn't applicable.

3. A field value could have been inferred but was not inferred, because of an overriding requirement.

4. The field has a value but it is not within the domain.

5. The field value cannot be determined due to an exception.

As the author suggested, "NOT SET" does a good job carrying the meaning behind what NULL is used to accomplish (I also think "NOT GIVEN" or "NOT AVAILABLE" could work and keep the idea.
"Sell me on X vs. Y." is a colloquialism. It's just a different way of asking "what are the benefits of X over Y."
On top of that a few of the FAANGs have central hiring committees which might overturn what any single hiring manager would care to do.
Golden State Lockdown
Show some evidence that the misinformation actually had a significant effect. I know it’s been widely discussed, but I haven’t seen any significant efforts to quantify the impact.
nmcli is a NetworkManager command.
I also feel like this is the “wrong” vertical. You should be competing with Amazon and Google in the general cloud business if you’ve achieved breakthrough efficiency. This doesn’t necessarily help because often the issue isn’t server efficiency, it’s that people haven’t properly setup 1 button builds or there’s unmocked dependencies with shared state
Many comments here boil down to “if you want privacy, buy an iPhone.” While true, this is another exhibit of privacy now being only for people who can afford it.
I love being able to take a break while working and do something relaxing - like cooking, or strolling outside in the nice weather. I used to find it difficult to enjoy my breaks at office since others would be working and most of the rec activities (ping pong, foosball etc) are multi-person activities which require bigger time investment.
Extremely wealthy people have a tax-shell liability-shielded offshore trust operating company buy things for their benefit using leveraged debt secured on junk assets.

In the rare case where for some compliance reason they must have a more direct link to the asset, they’ll transfer the item to a holding entity (in which they have indirect but controlling interest) and then lease it back.

If the unthinkable occurs and a very wealthy person commits to actually buying something directly themselves by mistake, they (or rather, their staff) will demand delivery before payment and then either stiff you on the bill or pay at most 70% of it, six to eighteen months later.

These are practices established centuries ago by the British aristocracy and remain alive today.
The Russian campaign has been widely discussed, yes. Little has been done to establish whether it actually worked.

The mere existence of such a campaign does not suggest that it actually impacted election results.
Compile-time function evaluation is quite a different feature from macros. Most of what you would do with macros (e.g. output entirely new definitions of functions, types, etc) can't be done with constexpr at all.
The awkward name is an immediate turnoff IMO.

Just take a look at all the variations in this HN thread on the spelling of it. "Pop", "PopOS", "Pop OS"... I only counted two that used the full name "Pop!_OS".
I'm using Cloudflare Workers but I made a little demo with Node and Fastify here:

Of course it’s appropriate! From the docs this service doesn’t even meet the “viable” part of MVP! Ok a user can post some json that’s public (no authentication) and doesn’t even work across domains (CORS).

Suppose adding those things and targeting “mobile backend as a service” or even more general “backend as service” there is still a lot to be desired. Like static html, ok you’re competition is Firebase.

How’s Firebase doing these days?
If it's all or nothing like you're expecting, I expect it will never happen. If the public majority holds your opinion (I suspect it might) then Amazon will continue to operate lawfully but unethically since there's nothing to gain unless they effectively cease existing. The current modus operandi seems to be working for them so I don't see that changing just to have the public spit in their face for not doing enough overnight.
So you don't support any big company?
Which company is supporting unionisation? Hell, most big tech companies don't even employ non professional workers directly, instead as a contractor.

So which is the noble big company you support? Which has sold of all diversified businesses? A company doing what you are suggesting will not even survive for long.

Totally. We were making massive amounts of progress on our own and virtual school curriculum mostly gets in the way. We've largely stopped going to the video sessions and are just doing some of the school work on top of our own. Thankfully the teacher has been accommodating / letting it go so far and the school work itself has been minor.
Somewhat agreed, but Facebook is also not doing anything to curb the stupidity. They could very well ban whoever posts obvious misinformation or scams and anyone who is repeatedly caught sharing such content, but they don't because behind the scenes these same stupid users are probably the most profitable for Facebook because they're more likely to click on ads.
Updated my post - I had forgotten C++/WinRT discarded the ^ syntax as we skipped C++/WinRT for our development as it suffers from many of the same problems of C++/CX.

Not at all. Huevos is the preferred term in Argentina/Uruguay.
It's actually a bit of a chicken and egg problem. ISPs can't offer it as there is no real way to push it to the customers from the router to the end user devices. Virgin Media in the UK's 1gigabit package is actually 1.2gbit after docsis overheads (they always overprovision it slightly for various reasons), but the router only has 1gig ethernet.
> “but why not start small as well”
Starting small is fine, when potential for impact is high. Otherwise it’s pointless, especially when the primary KPI is efficiency.

Unlike in construction or transportation, carbon footprint and potential efficiency gains for software are tiny. There’re are plenty reasons why iMessage and co don’t appear on the Project Drawdown list. There are much more effective leverage points that demand the attention of developers and designers. Check them out: https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions

The best thing small interventions can do, is raising awareness. But raising awareness won’t save our planet. A developer who codes for example a parametric design tool for CNC-made houses that can be disassembled after their end of life to reduce construction waste can achieve a magnitude more than the one who optimises a website to use 700KB less data or adds artificial friction to a communication tool.

Kohler makes a great kids seat. Probably not small enough for initial potty training, but it worked quite well for our household toilet until our child was about 6. Now it's on a toilet near the rec room, for guest kiddies.
