Yeah but it depends on the structure of the program right? Many swift programs might have a handful of reference counted objects which are not used in the performance-critical section of the program so the ARC penalty is negligible.

I agree that ARC is probably an obstacle for Swift to overcome in the long term. There have been some interesting discussions in the Swift forums around this, and there may be some solutions, like for instance the compiler being smarter about knowing when ARC is truly necessary, and replacing it with simple RC when, for instance, an object never leaves the thread where it was created, which is probably true of a majority of objects.

Probably this can be addressed when Swift's ownership model is more mature, and when the concurrency model has been formally defined.
I personally think they should rename the sub. /r/science is way too generic of a name, and unless folks study the sidebar as they are coming in from /r/popular or /r/all, they have no indication that their questions and anecdotes are completely unwelcome and will be deleted. It's an incredibly frustrating experience and I think it just damages the perception of 'science' by those that are trying to wade into it.
Replacing an addiction with a void won't work. So instead of focusing on "how do I stop doing this?" focus on finding a different activity. If it's something you're truly interested in, then you'll spend your time doing that and you won't have time or a desire to check your phone.

In other words, you're only checking your phone because that is more interesting than whatever else you were doing at that moment. So the key is to replace that boring activity with a more interesting one.

Purchasing a new phone is only a small subset of the scenarios where a backup is useful, for example, in the last two years Apple support has requested that I reset my phone and reinstall iOS twice. Having to buy a second phone to temporarily store my data is not a viable alternative.

Or losing your phone.

Or accidentally breaking it.

Or having it stolen.

A backup protects my data in these situations where a transfer utility does not.

Backups disabled by default would be a sensible approach, but is very much being childish not to let users access their own data.
That's crazy. It cannot possibly be one person harassing him, or this person is a true sociopath.

I guess it could be a bug, in some common system that restaurants use to register adresses ?
Maybe the shops are laundering money, and pretend they are loosing money with their "victims", while actually registering a sale to allow dirty money to come in.

This solves the problem you get when laundering money with a food joint: you need customers.

It is independent from fossil fuels, runs silently on modest amount of electricity. The emphasis is not on cutting-edge tech but on self-sufficiency and on improving the quality of the soil.

> disregard for other platforms (Linux/Windows are very much second/third class citizens)

It's worth noting that improved and cross-platform support is a stated priority for the next Swift version. It's already quite usable on Ubuntu, and Windows and other Linux distros beyond Ubuntu have been added to the CI pipeline for Swift development.
Several possibilities I can imagine:

- they don't handle ordering and delivery: those are outsourced, and so they don't get the address. Or they do manage ordering, but not delivery, and the ordering system has a bug.

- they benefit from those fake sales because they are laundering money through their restaurant

- they benefit from those fake sales because they have an insurance that pays for those

- they are using those addresses, that they know don't cause problems, to test something.

- they use the pizza delivery as an excuse to be here, and do something illegal (surveillance, delivering drugs, territorial presence, etc).

- it's a fake/exagerated article/testimony

Don't get me wrong here. I hold a similar frame of reference towards my own mental state and my own thinking.

But at the same time, it's important to recognize that there's far to the story then this. Mental health is just as much rooted and so many other factors not in the least social and economic circumstances.

This just half the story. The other half is actually the difficult part of addressing root causes. Such as growing up in a dysfunctional or abusive family situation. Or having a disposition towards addiction. Or being the butt of systemic discrimination i.e gender, physical appearance, disabilities, cultural background, skin colour, income level,...

Sure, you could tell someone "the cause of your fatigue and latent depression is your 4 hour daily commute." but that's not something you can readily change if that individual doesn't have the affordances - degree, income, dependents,... - that allows them to either get a job closer to home or move closer to their job.

Neither does it do to tell someone "Your lack of self-confidence and anxiety is a matter of stress management and lack of sleep" if they are under tremendous peer pressure compelling them to conform to particular culture or mentality at school, among friends, at work or at home which is at odds with their personality and who they are.

The entire picture matters.

My gripe with the article isn't that it dispenses advice in line with what you're saying - advice I wholeheartedly agree with in it's own right - my gripe is that the article simply doesn't even begin to address the complex reality that underpins mental health issues. Instead it deprecates entire fields of study because either "they don't know what they're talking about" and "it's been in stasis for decades now without any new insights" and then substitutes that by launching new concepts called "mental wealth" making bold claims about "investing" and "durability" rather then "fixing".

Putting your shoes on, no thinking, start walking. I can get behind that. It helps to clear the air and get in the present moment. And I'm sure a part of the audience will take that advice and apply it tot heir own betterment. But it shouldn't detract from the real hard work up ahead.

eBay has a big fraud headache. They have a bunch of algorithms (from the pre-ML-hype days) that take a variety of inputs to determine whether a given transaction is fraudulent or not. Presence of remote login service on the user’s computer may tip the scale heavily in this calculation. Fraud detection is a necessary evil for all financial transaction companies in order to keep costs low for everyone else.

If you’re worried about privacy, use CCPA’s right to information and ask them for a dump of everything they have on you. They are supposed to give you info that other SPs like Threatmetrix have on you as well if they really are transmitting it to 3rd parties.
But if their product is mediocre then it doesn't matter how many investors they pull in. In the long term, would they actually make a significant amount of money when customers aren't that attracted or satisfied?
Why would they not just randomize the addresses? Or just deliver to an office where they could claim 100€+ deliveries?

If they can correlate you with rows in the database, and they can correlate me with rows in the database, they can correlate you with me.

Never had the screen issue, gotta imagine that's the os and emacs.

As for the file rename issue, certainly if that's part of your workflow, it's helpful to figure out why it happens. I suspect it's due to the way filesystems work on Linux /Unix.
This is one thing which makes it almost unbearable for me to go back to programming in Javascript. The signature gives precisely zero information about the types being used, so if a library is not well documented, you often have to go to the source to figure out what's being expected and returned.
The key to breaking the cycle is stopping the start of it. It's often easier to create bright line zones of complete abstinence than it is to regulate usage to 'reasonable' amounts.

The post suggested going on walks without the phone.

Setup your charging location for the phone outside of your bedroom and have a no phone in the bedroom rule. No phone at the dinner table rule. A no phone in <wherever the phone is usually leading to unwanted outcomes> rule.

If you actually have to allow the phone to interrupt you (do you _really_?) designate a space where you'll take those interruptions, rather than allowing the phone usage to spill into spaces where you've designated the phone off limits.

Take activities that you might otherwise do on the phone but could do on a regular computer and stop doing them on the phone. At least you can't be doing them all the time. (e.g. I've never logged in to HN or Reddit from a phone, and it's been >10 years since I've done email on a mobile device...).

As a (former) young male on reddit (and I started out on reddit when it had about 4 subs), I am not seeing much over radicalization done to people. Reddit is big enough that there are many radicals on there.

I am definitely seeing opinions that aren't mainstream, and I have seen some subs self-radicalize. Self-radicalization seems mostly a consequence of more egregious things being upvoted more (e.g I don't even dare think what r/badcopnodonut looks like now) and a refusal to discuss things people see as issues. There is no reason on earth that gamegate went right wing, but the mainstream media sent hate their way and so they shifted away from those.
I liked the list. It’s easy to read.
I have a friend of mine that has been beaten up badly, twice.

10 years ago by his neighbours, in front of a witness. He got his jaw broken.

5 years ago by a random guy in the street, in front of a security camera that caught the dude car's plate. He got his nose broken.

In both cases, the police at best did nothing, at worst tried to activaly prevent action (loosing the case file, not registering it, not passing it around, or asking my friend to not go further).

So I'm expecting that for an old guy receiving pizzas, they have zero incentive to even think about it.
`Copy` implies that an object can be bitwise copied while preserving desired semantics; Rust has no exact equivalent to copy construction or move semantics in C++, which can be entirely implicit while involving custom code. (There's a 3rd-party `transfer` crate that enables a `Clone`-like marker for custom moves, however. It's used together with the Pin feature, so these moves are also explicit.)
As mentioned elsewhere it all about the threatmodel. I have a group where others like to be anonymous, at least to ppl they do not know (yet). They will very likely not care about authorities to see our messages as they have nothing to hide from that perspective.
There are constant discussions on online security on HN, but do not forget that accepting and eating food that way is a big security risk for your actual health.

It's basically like knocking on a door at random and asking the person who opens it to eat something you're giving them... Accepting sounds like playing Russian roulette.
It’s discussed in the article but that quality kind of ‘games’ the metric SO are using - what % of people using it want to keep using it? If people were forced to use it for work then you’d likely see a lower number regardless how good it is just because it wouldn’t be every single person’s preference.

It’s not a bad thing - a new language that doesn’t reach that point probably dies - but it does make it easier to score highly on their metric.
I'm an author of this study (and long time lurker), happy and surprised to see it posted here.

Some findings HN readers might find interesting, I'm referring to figures in the manuscript[1] and it's appendix.

- R0 has started to decrease before the government measures (Fig 2). It even reaches 1 simultaneously to the main "lockdown" measure.

- Mobility (from google mobility reports) also started to decrease before the measures (Fig. 3), but R0 also started to decrease before even mobility (Fig. 3).

- People awareness seemed to rise before government measures and mobility decrease, consistent with google trends (Appendix Fig. 14). Might explain why R0 starts to decrease so early.

- The appendix contains an interesting data analysis of hospitalization processes, with data on env. 1'000 patients. The length of stay in ICU are incredibly long. To answer the question: How long ?, we performed a survival analysis. It's necessary as estimates (such as the mean) are biased towards shorter stays.

- A serology study is conducted at the moment in Geneva. It seems that our estimates of seroprevalence (Fig. 5: only 3% country wide by April 24) are consistent with the study (Appendix Fig. 7). We were quite proud of that, as these results were unknown to us at the time.

- Method wise: There is different way of estimating R0 given hospitalization, death, cases:

(i) Most estimates are done with methods "deconvoluting" the data using the distributions (Cori et al, Wallinga and Teunis, implemented in the EpiEstim R package). It can works very well, but it's tricky to have unbiased estimates (see [2]).

(ii) Other methods involve choosing a breakpoint and calibrating to R0: before and after breakpoint. Variations of this method involve calibrating the breakpoint date, choosing a shape (e.g spline) and calibrating all the parameters. These method rely on some assumptions on the decrease. A incorrect assumption leads to biased estimates. E.g it would seem reasonable to assume R0 to decrease on the day of the government measures. But from what we estimated it wasn't the case in Switzerland. So your estimate of R0 post-measure would be lower than what it is really (to catch-up).

The method used here uses the full timeserie and no assumptions. First we built an hidden-markov model of COVID-19 transmission and hospitalization (see diagram Appendix Fig. 4). We performed frequentist inference (using [3]) of relevant parameters. Last, we "filter" R0 as a state of our model: R0 is a random walk, with calibrated variance and using particle filter we keep only R0 timeseries that support the underlying data. Therefore we impose no assumption on R0.

He says he doesn’t pay and sends them away, which implies the orders aren’t prepaid, as they would be if card testing
So that’s why there’s no sound in space.
A strange story. I cannot understand why the police isn't looking into it. At minimum, there would be a credit card number for each order which could be traced. There should be phone records. If this goes via a payment processor, they should flag the addresses.
The fact that the orders happen to two persons in parallel basically rules out any randomness in the process.

Swift got stable ABI in version 5, that’s bit late IMO. Also the community efforts to improve Rust interop (e.g. Rustler/Elixer) are way ahead when compared to Swift. That being said, I personally am happy that both languages to have first class FFI

I'm still not sure I understand the logic of that; the only rotation I see is in the supine in the 'correct' version. The 'wrong' version doesn't require any rotation at all, even using the illustrations. It's simply lifting the front limbs up, allowing the hands to rest.
It's the only production-ready language that is both memory safe and has zero-cost abstractions (i.e. for any C code you have Rust code that compiles to equivalent assembly, and using more abstractions in Rust does not make the assembly less efficient unless the abstraction can't be implemented otherwise).

Also as long as you accept not having dependent types (at least for the short and mid-term) and several currently unimplemented features, Rust is the optimal way a programming language can be designed other than assorted minor warts.
Sorry but why is this on HN? I kept reading and I was expecting some programming, off by one, Unicode, or whatever error that caused the problem. Or Some online Credit Card Fraud operation that used Food Delivery as whatever tools it may be.

But no, Nothing.

So again, why is this on HN? I am generally curious.
I’m wondering how this works actually. Are they actually delivering pizzas or are those pizzas with expired ingredients or just fake boxes? I guess the latter doesn’t make sense since you’d notice more registered sales than what your raw materials are able to yield.
They are meant to be paid cash at the door as far as I understand. What I don’t understand is why the pizza places can’t just stop taking orders for that address. There must be a finite number of pizza places within delivery range.

Something stinks about this
>They will very likely not care about authorities to see our messages as they have nothing to hide from that perspective.

`Nothing to hide` isn't the point of my message but the willingness of Telegram to collaborate with 3rd parties be that for a good or bad cause is what concerned me. I already own a tool to get unsolicited messages — email.
In the article the man mentioned he always refused to pay, so the payment is probably done at delivery. In Europe this is quite common.
OK. Where is the argument then? You've asserted, but not argued.

Today, Signal is claiming their encryption means the only data they have to give to government is date of install and last use. In the past they also claimed WhatsApp uses the same cryptography as them, at least for messages. These two claims cannot both be true. If there's some incredibly subtle detail that means deliberately exposing forwarding metadata in WhatsApp but not Signal they should really clarify that because it's not something I've ever seen a discussion of, and it doesn't follow from the cryptography they're using.
At some places, you can just order them w/o creditcard data and pay with cash when they're at your door.

A person using this to harass someone will certainly not use their own money to do it.

Same. When I was 28, I presented with terrible TMJ pain. Turns out my sleep apnea led to grinding my teeth at night, putting horrible strain on my TMJ all night. Got a mandibular advancement device (MAD) and fixed both issues in like day. Changed my life, slept great, felt great. But, these devices only work for 8-10 years before your jaw permanently changes and your bit starts misaligning your teeth. So I slowly transitioned over to CPAP when I felt my teeth no longer snapped back into place in the morning. After 3 years of CPAP and no MAD, my jaw is 95% back to normal. So keep that in mind. I'd also recommend getting a back-up dental appliance in case yours breaks, or learning how to use CPAP now while you don't need it. Some of the worst stress of my life was when my MAD broke and it took months to get a new one...ugh, I still have latent traumatic responses thinking about that point in my life. I had moved jobs and insurance so finding someone who would do it required significant searching. Medical insurance hates paying for MADs, you gotta make sure you have a solid TMJ disorder diagnosis from an MD and then find a dentist that will do it.

I looked up Google Maps and zip code for Turnhout where the house in the article is is 2300. So the address must be like [number] [street] 2300(Turnhout), Antwerp, Belgium.

I don’t know why it’s not Albania or Andorra but makes sense it’s not Zambia.
I don’t actually have an opinion on the matter. I’m just saying this is what I think the person was saying.
I doubt there are credit cards involved; the article mentions that he refuses delivery each time so he's never had to pay for anything, so I assume they're cash-on-delivery.

Europe doesn't do the credit card thing to the same degree as in the US; cash purchases, especially for things like this, are much more the norm.

Having written a few toy VMs in the past (and some in production!), there are always avenues to "make it weird."

Sol's yield/end instruction pair looks super abusable if you want to write somethiing obfuscated.

My favourite alteration has always been to not have any control flow instructions in the provided ISA, but allow the programmer direct write access to the program counter register, or force them to write self modifying code.

After all, programming is fun.
