"a lot of people that criticize debuggers..." But what really making me think is that big giants like Torvalds, Rob Pike, Guido van Rossum. Rober C Martin, John Graham they don't like using debuggers (https://lemire.me/blog/2016/06/21/i-do-not-use-a-debugger).
To be fair, the kind of ads social media companies have been most criticized for (those masquerading as real posts) are exactly the sort adblockers don't effect.
If discussing the gender of the crab is politics, then surely assuming the crab is one gender or another is also politics. The idea that you can avoid politics in anything is a lie told by people whose beliefs conform to mainstream society. What you're really asking for is everyone to agree with the mainstream view.

It's kinda like the old military policy of "don't ask don't tell" - the policy wasn't actually don't ask don't tell - the actual policy was "pretend to be straight". Guys didn't get in trouble for talking about their girlfriend.

Beyond that, as someone that doesn't care about politics, I just skip the thread. There are dozens I don't care to read about. It's just another one. No big deal.

I'm pretty sure I have bad judgment of the sort that would make me a bad angel investor.

I'm too trusting of people and too motivated to invest in things I would find technically interesting rather than those that could be viable businesses.

The crux of the matter is information.

Man, lots of critics here. I think this is great and even with the security of owning a home, it's still a big leap to go your own way.

Where are you finding businesses to buy? I've been considering something similar and have been keeping an eye on Quiet Light Brokerage, which has some interesting ones. Also, are you looking at Amazon FBA or doing your own selling/logistics? How much time are you putting into the businesses? I have lots of questions about how one does this effectively :)

The reason fb wont do this is because there is so little to show on the friends and family front, it will do nothing but drive users away and solidify its market positioning as a political news reader.

To pull off separate feed fb needs to fix trust so people actually posts friends and family content as much as before.
This presumes that people have infinite time and motivation both to debate, and to read the ensuing infinite debate.

Rhetoric works to win debates because debates are time-limited (and the audience's attention is both time- and attention-limited), and so you can win just by e.g. preventing your opponent from ever getting a word in edge-wise, or forcing them to answer for trivial side-issues and therefore never have time to say what they really want to say; etc.

What I'm railing against here is the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_balance: the rhetorical rearrangement of non-equal evidence into a debate presented to the audience as if each side had equal support behind it.

And, make no mistake, that sort of rhetorical rearrangement is what discussion forums with comment voting are doing when the community rearranges the comments with upvotes/downvotes: they're curating which comments appear first (and thus which comments appear at all, to those without interest in reading the whole page.) They're changing the impression of aggregate weight-of-evidence someone gets by skimming the debate.

But my claim is that this is not a bad thing, when it is done in the goal of presenting the debate accurately. If one side of a debate has little evidence, but more voices, those voices should be rhetorically damped down to compensate, until the force of their combined voice matches the volume of the evidence on their side. That is the proper goal of editorial curation in e.g. news journalism: to let authoritative primary sources speak loudly, secondary sources quietly, and kooks and rumormongers not-at-all. And it should, IMHO, be the proper goal of a community's editorial curation of a comments section, as well.
Hello guys studying at UoPeople has really helped me a lot especially academically. When i first heard about this great online learning plartform from a friend i was not really serious about it because i taught it was not possible for there to exist a tuition free university but my friend then i should just give it a try since there was nothing to loose by trying and that was how i registered at UoPeople .I just finished my 2nd term at UoPeople and trust me its be absolutely amazing from the instructors to the students from different parts of the world to the beautiful and easy to move around learning environment . I do not regrit ever considering registering on this learning plartform at all and i can recommend this plartform to anyone at anytime. thanks a lot UoPeople am really grateful.

You can sometimes find used Steelcase chairs (very high-end and ergonomic, often $600-$1000+ new) used at auctions for very cheap. I got a Steelcase Think for around $55 from one auction, and later on scored a lot of four Steelcase Criterion chairs for $16 total. Prices on Craigslist looked a bit worse than my local auction sites, but still much cheaper than buying new.
It's not surprising. A hack is still a hack, even you apply industry best practices in testing. There are two major security entry points, and none of them were closed since.

no seriously. you are right. however that never had been a problem. mostly weird langauge choices also attract pretty capable developers.

Often times it's more about compatibility with existing libraries or programmers experience then about speed.

I often feel that many very experienced C++ devs have fallen into one of tree fallacies: The sunken (learning) cost fallacy (I include sentimental attachment here). The speed fallacy. And the being totally hypnotised/fascinated by C++-complexity fallacy (I include the you can turn C++ into whatever you like fallacy in this one).

And it should be posted in the discussion of any research paper. Especially every preprint. Especially ones of significant public interest. Preprint sites and preprint contain the disclaimer for a reason, and everyone sharing or reporting on them should feel obligated to include a disclaimer like that because people often think science paper = fact proven when that couldn't be further from the truth. Because it's not just that things are "sometimes " proven wrong, but that you have entire fields suffering from reproducibility crises. Including "hard" science fields like oncology.

Maybe having a way to architect complexity in a way that preserves the author's intent for input data restriction is one way?

Can code be built such that a sql query input could be declared such that it can only be processed in a control flow that ends up interacting with data on disk and return output? I don't mean things like control flow guard that precompute control flow, but an input oriented control flow whitelist enforced by the processor. Programming languages would declare input and explicitly declare what functions can execute as a result of or against that input. So, ideally, each input declaration would have a precomputed control flow graph, the processor will need to register memory as "input" (like NX/DEP) and the program will need to load the control flow graph with an interrupt that causes the processor to track operation resulting from control flow that interacted with the input in memory that is not accessible to the OS. The technology to do this and make it practical exists today but it did't at the advent of modern computing.
I don't understand why you would want to bring this attitude of tearing people down into a community centered on building things up.
In the context of the recent discussion[1] about using an SQLite database as an application file format, is there a way to mitigate these problems?

Ask HN: Credit cards being revoked, lowering limits
I just got a letter from Chase about an Amazon branded credit card that said they are reducing my credit limit because I haven't been using it enough in the past year. BofA also sent me a letter a few months ago saying they were going to close a card due to insufficient use. Although I have been unemployed, nothing like this happened when I was.

I'm wondering if this is a trend, if it's happening to other people, if it's related to COVID and what impact it might have on others. It seems like a new thing from my perspective.
Delaware companies do. See, e.g., Frederick Hsu Living Tr. v. ODN Hldg. Corp., 2017 WL 1437308, at *18 (Del. Ch.

Have you seen the news show "Rising"? They have been staking out this space for about a year now. Taibbi and Greenwald appear there regularly. This show is probably the most interesting new development in American political media. The hosts have jokingly described their philosophy as "let's hate each other less and elites more", and present as a mostly-friendly pair of left and right populists.

They were on Joe Rogan recently (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA9Tpf5Uuxs), so their audience will probably spike. I find that even when I don't agree with them, their smartness is usually a breath of fresh air from the fetid stupidities of the mainstream (both left and right) media. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts, and whether they will continue to be able to work together. Regardless of whether one agrees, they're managing to host a freer discussion for the time being.
Interesting blog post! not sure I agree with the premise though, you can have autonomy and good work life balance without working for yourself.

I'm pretty hype to try the Keychron K1: https://www.keychron.com/

I think the "tenkeyless" layout is great: it's "full keyboard" size including the separated arrows block and correctly spaced F keys, it's just missing the numpad section that I rarely use.

It's also the "chiclet" style keys like a laptop keyboard, but with "low profile" switches that I'm hoping will feel good but be less painful than full-on cherry/gaming switches. I grew up on Model-M's, I used to love hammering away, but I guess I'm one of the weirdos that grew to love the feel of chiclet, where I can tell if I've pressed a key but don't need to press it so hard. But most chiclet keyboards are too low-quality with not quite enough travel. Balancing act.
> How do you know that more aggressive driving causes more collisions?

I don’t, but insurance companies employ some pretty smart people who can figure that out. If they offer discounts for certain driving characteristics, I’m willing to bet that they reduce the insurer’s expenses. Otherwise they won’t be in business for long.
That's fine--all of the criticisms were predictable. I never expected this to be for everyone.

Quiet Light is great--there's a number of other brokers out there too, Empire Flippers and FEInternational are two other major players. I use those + sourcing off market deals which are generally the most advantageous to acquire. Off market takes a ton of time to source until you have a big enough reputation that people know you and just bring opportunities to you. Those happen occasionally for me, but still represents a small percentage of the deals I assess.

Part of my screening criteria is to only acquire businesses with high automation in place, or high potential to automate.

My first reaction was: why is a non-gender-binary crab mascot considered "political"? I'm assuming this came up incidentally in the context of its name and pronouns?

By this implied definition of political, more or less any human social interaction is political in the broader view.
Through only if has high usability.

You currently can bend C++ into ways to have such a type system. The usability this introduced through additional complexity is just very very bad. So no one does it because bad usability means bad productivity and getting a project done with bugs is often better then getting it not done at all (sure there are exceptions!).
“Memory is not very useful (modulo filesystem caches) when you're not using it, and has a very low cost when you are (extremely tiny power consumption”

One problem is that CPUs have various ways to use less power or even switch off parts when not in use, but you always pay the same for RAM.

For battery-operated devices that sleep most of the time such as smartphones, that means being careful with memory usage is the way to go. I think that’s part of the reason iPhones ship with less RAM then Android devices (reference counting needs less RAM than garbage collection for the same performance level)

That article is a great example: It defines "debugger" as "single-stepping through code", and then argues against that. It's fine to argue against "single-stepping through code" as a default technique, but artificially limiting the scope.

EDIT: one of the comments by the author makes it very clear: they don't consider lots of things you can do with e.g. gdb as "using a debugger": https://lemire.me/blog/2016/06/21/i-do-not-use-a-debugger/#c... </EDIT>

The submitted article here is similar, by opening with that ridiculous example and pretending that's what using a debugger means. Debuggers don't make you bad at finding problems. Not knowing when to use which tool makes you bad at it. (And knowing how to make new tools out of your existing ones is also quite helpful)
We do this _all the time_ as we write almost all of our software in Rust, but lots of it is for use with/in embedded systems developed in C.

It's true that you can mate up to C by exporting the C ABI everywhere. This isn't a free lunch though. There are annoying and/or weird side-effects you sometimes have to deal with when leaning heavily into doing this.
I heard the Rust API changes between versions such that it’s a bit of a pain upgrading systems. Is this true?

Also, I’ve read traits can be used as invariants for a pseudo-dependent type system. Has anyone had experience with this?

I’m considering learning it instead of C++ for some systems work.
A combo of the above. I have several close friends who were also colleagues at one point and have since left to pursue their own entrepreneurial paths as well.

The leaks accomplished nothing of concrete positive value. He was perfectly free to leave government work and become a political activist without leaking classified information.
But that doesn't mean voting for Donald Trump automatically makes someone a Nazi either.

Doesn't it make them a Nazi enabler, though? Is that really much better than carrying the card and wearing the pin?

C and Ada variations have done so for many years, way before Rust was a thing.

Ada and D are also in the process of adding memory safety to the base language too.

The actual question is why nobody cared that much until now to put it in mainstream languages. The answer is, as you know, browsers.
Wear sunscreen?
I think 'best chance' at safe programming is the advances in chip design. I expect PMMU to become more sophisticated and solve more of the memory safety problems in hardware than in software. Then, the programming model will evolve and safety features will become more language agnostic and broadly available. Then, I fully expect compiler+runtime+os to evolve to take advantage of these hardware features for software written in any language.
