?

If not, I’m happy to put you in contact.

Do you have any (formerly?) incarcerated members on your leadership team?
Arguably the information is not public until it is available to more than just twitter employees. And trading on non public info can be securities fraud.
With respect, I’m not seeing how your first addOne example returns an integer one greater than its integer argument.

Am I missing something?
People don’t need new cars we need horse and buggies; they have low carbon emissions and high safety ratings.
> It’s an interesting outcome: it doesn’t matter how counter cyclical your business is, if you have a runway and it’s less than two years, you’re impacted.

Not if you're profitable.
Because of losing my backups of my WordPress website this is a great solution I can just have a static website for my clients

After BASIC, POV-Ray was the next programming language I learned. Lots of fond memories.
Horses actually have incredibly high emissions, and they produce a great deal of waste. Take a look at what major cities were like before the car became common.
Being profitable rather implies more than two years' runway.
What's wrong with List.of(1,2,3) or Map.of("a", 1, "b", 2)?

Switch expressions can do what if expressions do.
I've seen my industry's "shovel sellers" and they've done moderately well. Definitely more consistent than the rest of the industry but in the end they suffer from the same issue as the gold miners: timing. If you don't time your exit from your industry's bubble you can get swept away.
Build a mobile app to save info about books I read already. Scanning bar code in the book should save it in my "read" library. Useful for folks who go to library & not sure whether they read a book or not. For eg. picture books of my kids. Also creating multiple profiles is another bonus feature. So I can store books by name of the kid
Pretty much. There are components of systemd I really like. systemd-logind is really neat, it makes dealing with drm (direct rendering) devices nice by having a service where you can request access to GPUs without bumping into the problem of one process opened the endpoint and has exclusive control. It also makes dealing with machine events like closing your laptop's screen simple if you use a minimalistic window manager like i3.

systemd-resolved is nice if you're using systemd's network configuration system, but it's a pain when you're trying to run your own DNS server.

udev really shouldn't hard depend on systemd. I perfectly understand having some systemd specific integration, but why make it mandatory?

There being said, various people have been working to cut it into separate components (eudev, elogind, etc.)
Mostly positive based in previous questions "Ask HN: Has anyone ever been hired from “Who wants to be hired?” threads?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20330818 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19062296
You're discovering the regressiveness of the sales tax.

Instead of a sales tax, let that person spend that money on other products and services. And to raise revenue, use a progressive tax such as income.

This is a great intro; I have the GNU Awk user's manual bookmarked because there are a lot of features in gawk you will only rarely use but are quite useful.
> overpriced by any reasonable standard

Except of course the standard that has historically proven to be the best one, ie the market.

I have some stock to but I'm not an idiot and check every day and freak out how much up and down and freak out about it, its a deliberate long decision. Elon has made comments like this before, quite often in fact.
> 1. Names are more important than types

I can't really agree with this at all. With type aliasing the new typename can render the variable name pretty much redundant.
Not sure where you work but youre lucky to be at a company that has a team thats taking that kind of action. Massive props.

Then shouldn't that be the problem everybody is working on? Forget about construction projects and car dealerships, would there be a huge objection into research funding for how to most effectively combat political corruption? Or a voting system change like range voting? [1]

The latest round of controversy is probably because They're pushing the new 'homed' component, which is supposed to change up how home directories (and user accounts) are managed.

It's supposed to enable easier encryption of home directories, but breaks ssh logins.

Therefore it's probably only suitable for multi-user systems (which need to protect home directoried from other users) that are also never accessed remotely - a subset consisting of approximately 0 systems.
So, I don't use awk right now. This answers "how to awk" more than "why use awk" for me (understandable given the 20 min claim).

Does anyone have concrete, practical examples of use cases where awk made your life much easier?
thanks, good to know
You can start a “news” organization, but would it be recognized? You keep saying “people are clever,” but somehow don’t seem to realize that legislators and judges are people, too. And, they’re the ones with the power here.
the problem is how integrated it is with everything. it is hard to have a choice in your init(not that there was much a choice to begin with). it takes away from modularity.
How Does a Newly Approved Drug Remdesivir Inhibit the Novel Coronavirus?
On the other hand doesn’t forward declaration make sense? The code is declaring it depends on the forward declaration defined “somewhere else”. In a sense it is documenting the the classes/structs better.
It feels like you don't really understand how the laws work, perhaps?

Intent is very very important.

If I'm hosting stuff for the express purpose of allowing people to download what I have, download what someone else has, and then do math with the two parts to get a copyrighted work, a judge (& jury) will have more than enough to rule against all of the people involved.

> You can laugh all you want, but you can't convict anyone.

That is an incredibly naive and incorrect view of how the (US, at least) legal system works.

Also consider that in a civil suit, the burden of proof is much, much lower than in a criminal case. So the word "convict" does not apply here.

The only thing here unique to OFFSystem is that if you have hundreds or thousands of nodes, it's (theoretically) not possible to prove who "owns" A and who owns B, so who do you take to court?

But then we get back to intent. The current legal consensus is that if a tool has legitimate non-infringing uses that are actually realistically happening in practice, then it gets very muddy and a plaintiff has to work hard to prove that any particular user is responsible for infringement. But in the case of OFFSystem, its express purpose is to enable copyright infringement. That is literally the stated purpose of the entire thing. Legally, anyone who participates in that system is assumed to be there to enable copyright infringement, and can be held liable, if not for direct infringement, then contributory infringement.

That's how the law actually works, for better or worse. And even if you're in the clear, do you want to be dragged through court and be responsible for legal fees, and the general uncertainty of what's going to happen to you?
If Trump announces the US is at war, for most purposes in the short term (until congress steps in to assert their power) the US is at war. It is not a false alarm.

If twitter had some reason to believe that the tweet was a false alarm about going to war, and not an official announcement by the US military's commander in chief, that might be a reasonable to take. Perhaps if they also believed the account had been hacked or that a staffer had been duped into thinking that they were supposed to announce a war when they weren't. That's not the hypothetical situation here though.
This is just Zoom. The partners and sponsors almost all conspicuously mention Zoom meetings and Zoom Celebrations on their websites. Especially because of the major WSJ story today on Zoom and the origins of the Coronavirus, it seems very implausible that anyone mentions Zoom anymore overtly without having an agenda.

The co-founders are all from Yale, and have the best of intentions, but don't realize they have to some extent been manipulated.

I think this phrase was a little concerning as well. There is a decent historical record that has been built up over the last 10 years of stuff like this being abused: "We also use machine learning tools to make predictions". What are they trying to forecast? When did talking and letter writing necessarily need machine learning? I'm not at all saying it is dumb...but we should approach all of this with caution and hesitancy.
Wouldn’t that be illegal?
I feel like I am far from a conspiracy theorist, but I don’t get how this Epstein fiasco is not the ongoing story of the century. Millionaire pedophile-playboy, who has no clear records of how he obtained his wealth, with ties to worldwide nobility ends up dead by purported suicide... with no real apparent followup by law enforcement. It is so weird.
My pet-bitch is that it's far too large and convoluted to audit properly for most-sized teams.
Reducing transistor size yields a quadratic increase in transistor density, reducing cost per chip. [1]

Chips with smaller transistors use less power. [2]

Therefore foundries with the smallest transistors get more orders than competitors. They use the revenue to develop the next generation of tech. The revenues are huge. For example, TSMC earned USD 35,000,000,000 in revenue in 2019 [3, 4]. Starting a new company to compete with TSMC would require possibly the largest investment in history.

Google created this a while ago, was very cool.

And I also had played this game on Steam like 10 years ago and loved it. Very basic, very simple. You started out as a small speck of dust in space and as you flew threw space, your gravity would begin to absorb the elements and you would get bigger, becoming a planet, a bigger planet, a sun, a black hole... while it was mostly simuluation and you had no real enemies, gravity is always our biggest enemy and you could be ripped apart by another black hole or even a giant sun, which made the game so enjoyable. You could drift and float and control it.. you flew through space and moved the arrow keys to avoid objects. You could change your speed too.

Let me see if i can find it and i only bring it up since I can't answer your exact answer, but can show you an idea. Looks like it got a massive upgrade as it used to be 2D.

That's got a real Apocalypse Now feel to it doesn't it?
Awk '{ print $2 }' does LWSP gobbling.. cut -d' ' -f2 doesn't and this difference alone makes awk useful to me on a daily basis.

Awk has a hash like perl which is very efficient. I use an awk expression to print uniq as they come in counted through the hash insert on new instead of uniq which prints at end.

Awk count unique over 300,000,000 ips was as fast as perl and python and smaller memory footprint
I find the opposite, I can't stand it. Give me curly braces over arbitrary indentation any day.
Nothing's wrong with that or with `String.format`. I just find it less ergonomic. Like I said, no complaints anywhere. You can just as well use `ExecutorService`s instead of async/await and all that.
> Films don’t model in “polygons”

I can promise you they do. They are treated as the same thing. Everyone uses polygons knowing they will be smoothed/subdivided/declared as subdivision surfaces. Sharp edges, cusps and bevels are typically made by creating more subdivisions in the actual model instead of using extra subdiv data on the geometry, though pixar might be the exception.

> Some people still use NURBS too.

I think this is very rare. Maybe blue sky never transitioned away.
I also work at a theoretically counter-cyclical company, which is a brilliant selling point these days, and business has been very good. Our experience has been a little different than yours. While investors are suddenly poor and conserving capital, the fact that we are closing big deals right now when every other startup they see is clinging to life and big deals are evaporating makes the company relatively attractive in the current environment. That is almost literally our pitch —- how many deals do you see that are doing this kind of business in our current environment?

We have been cautious but we are actively growing our headcount. The quality of candidates we see has also spiked. It is a very rough time for many of my friends but this is a market where strong counter-cyclicals can do extraordinarily well.
> I wish this site would allow me to self-detach my own sub-thread. There are things I'd like to say which might not be wholly aligned with the site guidelines. At least most people seem to be ignoring our conversation. :) I'll just say that I don't disagree with this sentiment.

Personally, I do not feel no anger or the need to move away from the guidelines; I disagree with you, but that's okay :) Honestly, I was hoping to understand your point of view, while presenting mine.

So far, your point of view comes across as: "yes, he may be a buffoon, but the media overplay it, and every new action must be taken on its own merit".

I think that's fair enough argument, but you cannot gloss over the "he is a buffoon" bit by defending it using the "the media overplay it, and every new action must be taken on its own merit" bit.

I guess what I'm saying is that the US P should not be/come across as a buffoon.

Only reason I have a Twitter account is apparently it is the BEST way to deal with TMobile's T-Force, to really get shit done. Otherwise, I consider Twitter a cesspool...a sideshow for the truly bored.
Very well written post.
I contribute to a niche game server project and used awk to generate c# class files from an org mode document that I wrote to specify them.
You have to give wardens/politicians money to put any kind of technology in their prisons, so free video chat/messaging isn't going to happen unless some benevolent billionaire prince is funding you.

However you could do some kind of distance education via letters, remember math can be learned with just pen and paper and not the kind of shit we learn in highschool but the Terrence Tao Analysis from scratch kind. There's an old book called the Schemer's Guide by Iain Ferguson (spelling?) which is programming with pen and paper. Many opportunities here besides just communications, just an idea, I have no clue how it would work in practice.

Another idea is create social media or pen pal profiles for prisoners where they fill out a template and you just launch it for them, so they can find other people to talk to, many people inside have nobody on the outside, this is why facebook groups like Jail Mail exists and the like. Of course legal problems here, if some maniac uses your service who should be in jail.

Wikipedia search is also something I've always thought should exist via snail mail. 'What is <subject>' should return the entire wikipedia page or other encyclopedia page for convicts.

A marketplace for anonymous convicts would also be interesting that nobody has done, many of these guys/girls are experts in fitness since there's nothing else to do inside, they should be able to make some kind of money (again, depending on societal heinousness of crime) by being a motivational coach or something. I have plenty of other ideas, many of them require money/political connections which I don't have but just things I observed while in lockup wondering why are these petty criminals just rotting away in here when there's so much opportunity not just for them, but people they can personally effect to make amends for whatever they have done. I even met a few hundred song writers inside that wanted to be 'producers' and sell their rhythms or lyrics with no way to do this. Anyway good luck
If you're building real systems, it is not the case that complexity of the problem is obvious. I've just spent several years in an organization where inherent complexity was discounted by important technical decision makers in the organization.

The result is a mess since the system was not designed to cope with the operational complexity involved.
You lose your freedom of speech when you willingly sign it away in exchange for power and responsibility.
Generally, the more difficult problem is to design the power-sipping, energy-efficient cpu that runs on a battery with passive cooling, than the relative power hog that plugs into the wall and has active cooling.
Part of it is that it is a more or less monolithic package that started as an init system and now does more than some people would like.

This results in certain packages switching to require systemd modules(gnome & udev) and essentially locking systems without systemd out of using said software. Communities supporting non-systemd init systems now have to maintain forks of these modules so that they can keep these packages supported on their distros.

The other issue, which is the issue I care more about is that it does these things in a way that breaks compatibility with existing workflows and exposes it to a number of different issues due to its increased complexity.

Don't get me wrong, systemd is excellent in many ways but like many others, I am not a fan of it overall and choose not to use it where possible.

An example of something very controversal about systemd: journald.

journald is a replacement for the system journaling daemon and is a generally very good journaling daemon. It is in many ways more performant than other journaling daemons and can be easier to use as well. The issues however come largely from the fact that it uses a binary log format. This breaks the ability for other tools access logs nearly as easily unless explicit support for the interaction is added by either journald or the tool in question.
That was kind... to Elon.
I didn't call names it was general note. There is nothing unkind in this type of swearing, its just honestlly expressed thought.
It depends on the scale I guess, but if you just have a handful of horses on a farm you use the horse shit as fertilizer for growing hay.

High risk,high reward
If someone is able to create something that is half as good as systemd then distros will switch time it.

The thing is that systemd solves a lot of problems for distros in a good enough way (frankly, currently in a way that is better than any existing alternative) that they are happy to have systemd deal with those issues while they focus on the stuff the distro makers are interested in.
Exactly. I don't feel bad about them not being able to move inventory during this time if they're unwilling to alter pricing.

Dealers are effectively rent-seeking, and nobody but those profiting from it will mind them disappearing overnight. It won't happen, but one can dream.
A pointer to an int "should" be &int, not int*. That we use *, the
dereference operator, to indicate pointers is wrong. * in a type means it's an
address, but * in a value means it's not an address. That's nuts! Make it
consistent and use & both places. If you need to have a distinction between
refs and pointers, it should be that pointers are nullable refs: &int? or some
such.

Edit: How to escape asterisks in HN?
At what point is it just systemdOS?
Slackware. Now and forever.
It's much worse; it's very difficult to debug complex pipelines (you can never get "inside" the runner), there are no services or reuse etc.

Due to lack of features you can really only use codepipeline in very simple cases for builds. Just too painful.

So it's better to stick to codepipeline for deployments only; but if you do, your deployment ci is now different than your build ci.

Really wanted to like it (the security benefits are real) but now avoid and use "full" ci for everything.

Obviously org, team and situation dependent, but we got the most velocity benefit from using 1 tool everywhere. If you had to use 1 tool I can almost guarantee you would not choose codepipeline after using it.
I know states get sales tax, but they'd get that regardless. What other taxes or fees do states and cities get from car sales?
Great idea. Will add it to my list. Simple enough to do in a short span of time.
Love passion projects, and love Clojure and its syntax, but wish some folks would pick up on Spec and on predicate-based data flow definitions. That is what I miss most in other languages.
The guy who sold me my brand new Tesla was definitely a salesman.
What about awk makes that easier than, say, a Python script?
Should it? Like everything else, there are:

* Information Asymmetries: I don't know anything about you or any other org working to combat this so I'm not comfortable spending money on you.

* Coordination Problems: Where do we act, on what scale, etc.

* Value Assignation Problems: How do I benefit from this for the effort I need to put in?

* Risk Problems: What is the chance of success solving a problem of this scale?

Essentially, I'm only seeking to explain. Personally, I have no problem with the system existing as it does. I would prefer other systems out of an inner desire for elegance. But I'm pretty proficient in acting within these to my own benefit so I won't tear it down. Perhaps part of the problem is getting folks like me to care to change this. I'm happy to cheer you on, though. Good luck!
