That already happened once with OpenSSL 1.1 which also wasn’t really backwards compatible.

It was messy then, it will be messy now, though when you took the 1.1 opportunity to modernize your code to current best-practice as requested by the library rather than just fixing the minimum, you might be pretty ok this time around

Ternaries don't discard results that are generated, they are just special short-circuiting operators;

x if y else z

Is effectively syntax sugar for:

y and x or z

Nothing is discarded after evaluation, one of three arms is never evaluated, just as one of two arms of a common short-circuiting Boolean operator often (but not always) is not. That's essentially the opposite of executing and producing possible side effects and then discarding the results.

You're not old. Or maybe a little.

Music on the charts is absolutely getting worse due to globalization, attention span, production, competitive marketing, margins, video/image/brand before song, definitely removal of the 'gatekeepers', lower barriers to entry, mass-market/direct audience.

Yes, yes, a lot of pop music has always been crap, but 'this time it's different'. Truly. It's more derivative, fewer chords, lyrics that don't make sense or inspire, overproduced, repetitive.

'Popular Music' is dead - it's just memes.

Think of these artists as just people 'wanting to be famous' and doing image, memes, publicity, fake celeb fights, TV show appearances - it's all the same thing. Some of it might have a song.

You know the 'processed food magicians' who manipulate ingredients to find the 'sweet spot' of sweetness/bitterness whatever ... that drives a lot of food to taste bland? Same thing. You have mega producers behind most artists' hits. The artist is a brand, the label does the marketing. That's it.

There is quite a bit of good stuff but it just doesn't get much publicity.

Also - one big difference - most 'good music' today is not very 'up' or 'hit' oriented.

Think of Van Halen 'Jump' - big, loud, stadium 'rock' sound, but also very accessible. Huge energy. Alpha chords! Most good music these days is much more subtle, it doesn't 'grab you' - which is totally fine, but it means maybe it's not as radio playable.

There's a lot of really interesting and weird artifacts of pop culture music, but most of it is totally unlistenable.

Tons of kids these days don't listen to Hot 100 either.

> YC once tried an experiment of funding seemingly good founders with no ideas. I think every company in this no-idea track failed.

We were a no-idea company in the S12 batch. We ended up starting Streem [1], which was acquired by Box in 2014 [2] and ended up integrating and becoming Box Drive [3]. While we didn't build an enduring company, I'd say it was a moderate success by some metrics.

YC had two no-ideas in S12 and another one or two in W13 before they shut the track down. Unclear if that's enough data to spot a trend, but YC is smart and likely had other data to back up the decision. Looking back, it was a painful process to go from "no idea" to what eventually became Streem. I don't think I'd ever go and decide to start another company without an idea in the future.

At 2:50 the person puts the level on the book, and it's clearly not level. It's not badly off, but then again, the phone doesn't move really fast.

When the phone is on the level table, it's also not moving, but maybe the surface is not as smooth as the book.

In addition, putting on a bunch of cards that are extremely light showing they don't move doesn't prove anything, even if you stack them up.

It would have been better if the video started out with the level on the book at all times, and showed an item of similar weight on the book that doesn't move. This feels manipulated.
Realistic hardware emulation is way cheaper than actual hardware. You can buy yourself 32 GB of RAM or you can buy dozens of test devices.

I had that same issue. I hate using fans in the “pull” orientation rather than “push,” but with this cooler, I had to. I left the space above the RAM free, and put one fan in the middle, between the two heatsink stacks, pulling air from the front toward rear side of case. The second fan was on the rear side of the case, also pulling from the front toward rear side. My case had a rear case fan, which I left in place in the push orientation.

Next time I would use low-profile memory or just memory with a shorter heatsinks, so I can have the fans push. All in all no thermal problems, so good enough works. It was not a personal build, just a work for hire, and not meant to break records, just a stable high performance gaming PC.

Yes but:

1) Chart toppers from previous eras are still listenable. Almost nothing on the charts today will be listenable in 2 years. Out-of-touch grandparents in the 1960s could have been convinced to listen to the Beatles. Nobody of a certain age will put up with Top 40 today.

2) It's not quite as democratic as you'd imagine. There are promotions, placements, trends, people sucking kids into clicks in big herds.

A major issue is that today music is more global, and there is a much wider, much lower common denominator.

It used to be 200M Americans, now it's 4B global listeners, Americans are a tiny fraction of that.

It took them a while to release GOT-2 full model because of the implications for things like spambots. The GPT-3 paper indicates that they have been monitoring forums and noticed that bad actors haven't really been using GPT-2 for their own devices. That's unsurprising because GPT-2 takes a lot of hardware to run and I assume it messes with the economics of spamming.

GPT-3 will take significantly more resources to run. However, part of me doesn't want it released ever because of the implications of what bad actors could do with it.

A part of me is happy to see these types of tools introduced to python, but another part makes me wonder why people continue to use python when they see the value of things like `Option`/`Maybe`'s, `Result`'s, instead of just using a language with the features included from the start.

In my experience, the initial ease and speed of development when using python doesn't nearly outweigh the medium to long-term costs of maintaining it and developing the codebase further - at least for codebases that are more than a simple tool or something like a django app. Writing things like go, rust, scala, java etc. isn't that much more difficult or slower, but it does require more up front planning and understanding of your problem domain.

This always reminds me of the passage about the bank in Grapes of Wrath.

> Some of the owner men were kind because they hated what they had to do, and some of them were angry because they hated to be cruel, and some of them were cold because they had long ago found that one could not be an owner unless one were cold. And all of them were caught in something larger than themselves. Some of them hated the mathematics that drove them, and some were afraid, and some worshiped the mathematics because it provided a refuge from thought and from feeling. If a bank or a finance company owned the land, the owner man said, The Bank- or the Company- needs- wants- insists- must have- as though the Bank or the Company were a monster, with thought and feeling, which had ensnared them. These last would take no responsibility for the banks or the companies because they were men and slaves, while the banks were machines and masters all at the same time. Some of the owner men were a little proud to be slaves to such cold and powerful masters. The owner men sat in the cars and explained. You know the land is poor. You've scrabbled at it long enough, God knows.

You can extract sections (as mp3 by selecting, and then File > Extract mp3 > current selection). Or File > Save Local Draft (and you can open the selection as a standalone audio project).

It seems it has (rudimentarily) learned concepts general enough to be logic itself. That is general intelligence. Now hook it up to reinforcement circuitry and make it even larger and it will mark the end to life as we know it.

GTP-3 has 175 billion parameters, but the human brain has 100 trillion synapses, so 0.175%. NN model capacity currently has a 3.4 month doubling time.[1] In 7-10 doublings we'll be in a similar ballpark, i.e. 2-3 years.

> Python is interpretted, not compiled, and completly dynamic. You cannot check much statically.

The existence of mypy and other static type checkers for Python disproves that; given their existence, warning of an expression producing a type other than “any” or strictly “None” was used in a position where it would neither be passed to another function or assigned to a variable that is used later should be possible. Heck, you could be stricter and only allow strictly “None” in that position.
Relatedly, here is a sample of uncurated and unconditional (all “topics”—not just poetry): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/gpt-3/master/175b_s...

Scanning through these, the text seems significantly less zany than the random GPT-2 samples. It’s genuinely difficult to spot the signs that these were generated, even with the knowledge that they were.

> I am always surprised by the negativity that surrounds AIX by layperson UNIX users

I've never been particularly negative about AIX at all, but I've been burned before by some of its ugly warts [1]. In particular, the fact that (unlike other platforms) errno isn't thread-local by default, and you have to -D_THREAD_SAFE_ERRNO to get a thread-safe errno.

It's wrong because naming is hard. When writing inline, it is possible that not having a name does not impact readability. When defining the function out of line, naming it casually may confuse readers.

Yeah. He/she probably has a point if Japan or India has the same song as Top 1.

Funny enough, I used to be saddened by the fact most of my country's people basically only listen to local music instead of "good stuff" from the world (to be fair, the language/culture barrier is higher in my case).
Maybe I'm mis-understanding the definition of class or object but isn't a "File" in even Haskell an example of a class. Files have state which is either the read head or write head and in most languages you can change the head using seek.

I don't think the fact that you call `file.seek` vs `seek(file)` the difference between functional and object oriented. functional people say "state = evil, side effects = evil" and yet that version of `seek` has both.

The functional version of files would have to move the head out of the file

newWritePosition = write(file, currrentWritePosition)

And there would be no need for seek since you're holding your own write and/or read position.

If you close over a bunch of state and pass back a function or functions to work with that closed state you've just created an object with state and side effects. That's exactly what FP people say is bad.

Ask HN: Resources for learning Computer Networking ?
I am looking for resources for getting a good background in computer networking. I did some research and the best thing I found is class cs144 from Stanford (https://cs144.github.io/): Introduction to Computer Networking.

Since the class is not open for enrollment right now, my plan is to watch the Youtube classes (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvFG2xYBrYAQCyz4Wx3NPoYJOFjvU7g2Z) and to complete the labs and assignments.
The priority being to do the labs and assignments since I learn by doing. Now here are my questions:

- Is it a good approach?
- Any other relevant resources I should check?
- I did not find any labs/assignments solutions to verify my code for cs144. Anyone aware of some clean solutions?

Thanks for the help!

Yeah, to add to this: the best year of my working life, I got an average review. I just happened to be an expert in a bunch of tech that my team had forced on them, ramped them all up, and generally contributed a bunch. And I failed to communicate with my manager - as in, I went three months without meeting him. He had no real idea how much I'd contributed. Now obviously, that's on my manager as well, but ultimately it was me it affected. Since then I've made an effort to own the communication with my manager more, and it's had much better results career-wise.

Ditto - I remember the spraying and other control efforts but nothing about it being intentional, which is odd since it seems like a detail which would have gotten a lot of attention.

I don't have an opinion on Deno per se, but I quibble with this part of your point:

> Code, specifically library code, which is what npm mostly consists of, in its most ideal state should not have a never-ending variety. On the contrary, we do want to all arrive at one good way of doing a thing.

This implies that there is in fact one good way to do most things, but in practice different people want different trade-offs and forcing them into a single codebase isn't possible when the options are mutually exclusive. You can't have a library that is simultaneously strict about types (panics if you pass a string instead of a number, say) and forgiving about types (automatically coerces strings to integers or vice versa).

Since America has no problem with authoritarian measures that are meant to 'protect' us from ourselves and each other, at this point we should just forcibly take away everyone's vehicles and make them ride bicycles.

It is illegal for me to do things far less dangerous to myself and others compared to driving a car, and as someone who has no plans to own a car again, I neither want to breathe in exhaust fumes or risk getting hit by a vehicle just because others feel entitled to drive. If we're going to live in a nanny state, let's actually maintain a consistent framework for measuring harm and stick to it.
