I was quite enthusiastic about it, and don't see even now why using Rust for a UI-intensive app would be a bad idea in general. If doing an app with a "monolithic" design, the lack of good frameworks is a problem, but that's improving, so it wouldn't be a good idea if you want to see results right now, but I'm pretty comfident that's gonna change.

However, I fail to see how the choice of Rust is relevant in this particular project, as the UI part was meant to be programmed in any language, making Rust an irrelevant part of the equation.

On another note, I'm baffled why you are downvoted. I find your comment negative, but not unreasonable.
It never actually loads . . . it just says loading . . . .
Accurate, and in usage in technical circles already. But I've always found it awkward, and names based on what something is not are always unsettling to me.

Often startups are being hyped that show exponential growth. There is even books “The age for exponential” but I hypothesize some may have gotten the exponential curve wrong which has impact for growth. Ie I argue that growth may follow mathematical logistic curves/sigmoid s curves and not necessarily exponential hyper growth. Ie there is not an ifinit number of customers there is natural limits to growth. Nor is there infinite number of energy for example. This put some limit on growth which may shape on logistic curves. Has there been research on which types of exponential curves some startups grow with? I think it’s sound that there is demand from investors with income revenue generation.

It kind of matters which of these curves it is or other curve for that matter. And while you are in the middle of a logistic curve growth it can be confused for exponential curve. I recently confused these curves in another topic.

I'd assume another reason is that given that a small number of far-right threads/communities exist, you're going to have people leaving simply because people who are against, or at least frustrated with, your existence isn't a great place to be around.

I think parent meant that the schools that folks who work in ag go to tend to be "ag and mining" type schools, most of which are not state flagships.

IME that's true at least int he midwest. Most people I've met who work in ag in the midwest did not attend Madison/Ann Arbor/UIUC/etc. They attended places like SIU-E, UW-Whitewater, Minnesota @ Rochester, etc. Usually because those schools were like 1/2 of the price and closer to home.

And what parent said was also true -- those schools do teach a lot of useful skills; if you're selling machines to farmers, your clients probably know more about mech.e than even most of you software engineers.
Here’s another question: Would any of our lives be any worse — or would they be better? — if we simply chose to walk away and not be a part of any of these platforms, HN included? How much of our lives is made up of karma whoring, level grinding, and falling into the <https://xkcd.com/386/> trap?

I think there was a HN thread not that long ago about speculation that (at least some) viruses come to earth from space, so perhaps it is happening all the time.
Not sure what you are saying. We already pay for law enforcement, but their resources aren't infinite.

This would serve three purposes: help fund those things that are costly, deter the bad guys (since they can't ask for as much money if paying a ransom is going to be twice as costly to their victims), as well as to add additional incentivize people to secure their systems.

I don't know what you mean by ""catching bad guys" is just a pretense". Pretense for what? By who? That sounds very conspiracy minded.
Good recommendation. I should add that RSA is faster on verification but slower on signing than ECDSA. For most application, the amount of traffic is small enough that the difference doesn't matter but for large enough traffic, you should consider the difference. The performance of course depends on a lot of factors but

would give some reasonable idea on the practical difference on modern hardware.

The best way to stop an alternative becoming filled with extremists is to start it off as a community for a specific audience, then expand to a more general one later on.

Twitch and Discord did well there for instance. Started out as gaming focused, then became more mainstream.

By doing this, you bring in non extremists early on, and tilt the audience pecentages in such a way that most regulars aren't such extremists.

The problem is most 'alternative' platforms market themselves as 'Reddit/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube except with free speech and no rules' rather than 'an art/gaming/music/sports themed alternative to Reddit/Facebook/Twitter/YouTube with free speech'.

Former means you draw in the outcasts and extremists, latter means you draw in another audience that can then be made more mainstream by opening up support for more and more fields of interest.
You can ask the Secure Enclave or a smart card to perform operations using a key pair which is generated on and never leaves the device. In the case of SSH, you can use that directly as long as your SSH client and server support that algorithm: the client advertises the key fingerprint and just passes the server’s challenge through without modification. Apple has had native support built-in for using PIV/CAC tokens for years.

For storing arbitrary sized things, you’d typically use that key pair to sign an AES key used to encrypt the actual file so your device only needs to store the comparatively small keys.
With volume per distance, you just need to divide the fuel tank capacity by the volume and then multiply it by the distance to get that. With distance per volume, you have to multiply the distance by the total volume of the fuel tank. The first calculation isn't that much harder than the second.

Realistically though, once you've driven the vehicle for a while, you pretty much know the total distance it will get in a tank regardless of the way fuel usage is measured.
Wren seems like a really clean alternative to a language like Python, but it makes one mistake that really drives me nuts. In order to provide binary operators, you must implement a method on the left object. From the documentation [0]:

> The left operand is the receiver, and the right operand gets passed to it. So a + b is semantically interpreted as “invoke the +(_) method on a, passing it b“.

This means that if you want to implement complex numbers, or matrices, or a bunch of other useful stuff, you'd have to be able to extend the type on the left (which you didn't write). You really want to be able to do things like:

var z = Complex.new(1.0, 2.0)
var result = 3.0 - z

var A = Matrix.ident(3, 3)
var scaled = 4.0*A

Python hacks around this by having "right' versions of these methods too. It's kind of ugly - if the left object fails to support the operator method (__sub__ or __mul__) with the right type, the interpreter looks for a __rsub__ or __rmul__ operator on the right object to try. Ugly, but it works.

C++ works around this a much better way: You can either have the operator method on the left object, or have an overloaded operator function that isn't tied to either object.

Rust puts the operators on the left object too, but in some cases you can add methods/trait specializations to left classes. Unfortunately, Rust doesn't let you do this with generics, but that's a longer more complicated topic.

Maybe there's some way Wren lets you tack on additional methods to the builtin Num class (monkey patching), but I couldn't find it. I would love an elegant alternative to Python, but this is enough of an issue that it keeps me from using Wren.

By "you just use multiple", you mean I would have to generate extra private keys, add them to authorized_keys, and store them somewhere other than my mac, right?

Because just by using multiple keys I would still be locked out if all of them were stored in this 'Secretive' app.
From my analysis, there's around a 3.9% abnormal return associated with a L/S beta neutral low beta strategy (long low beta, short high beta). It's Sharpe ratio is ~1, though. 3.9% is pretty significant, especially since the beta correlation is less than 2%.

There's a reason why these factors are called "persistent." For systemic reasons, it is hard to arbitrage them away, mostly due to laws, and sometimes tax implications.
Btw, I looked at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.03808.pdf and I don’t understand this paragraph at the end of the first page:

“To simulate the system, waiting times w_kj are generated for all candidate states k, and the shortest waiting time i = argmin_k w_kj is chosen. We call this shortest waiting time the holding time. A transition is then performed to state i after a delay of length w_ij.”

Say there are three states A, B, C and the transition rate to C from A or B is low. Wouldn’t your “simulation” jump endlessly between A and B without ever (or never again) visiting C?

I may be missing something.

More like 10 miles on interstates and rural roads.

Perhaps mile markers could be re-used since the only have the number...

But yah, seems unlikely.
Without having read any of the Unreal Engine movement code, there's a complication here, and that is that "jump" might be influenced by the floor that the player is standing on. The force impulse might be related to the slope in some way. You have to figure out what "double jump" means in the context of there being no floor.

Placing a floor that has the influences you want under the player is, in a sense, a hack, but not an entirely misguided one. A better design might be not relying on whatever the "jump" button does, but writing your own, e.g. applying an impulse to the player directly.

If this sounds like semantics, consider a game like Super Mario Galaxy, which has spherical worlds. How do you determine the correct impulse for which way a "jump" goes? This is where these sorts of complications come from.
Of course life at a deep level is just physics. But given that the information content of this signal is relatively low (regular patterns of repeats) and that the amount of energy it requires is immense, I'd bet much more heavily on a natural phenomenon than life-directed activity.

As the person that hid those upvote/downvote counts, I definitely remember that uproar well.

A relatively small group "migrated" for a few days, but didn't stay. Here's Whoaverse one month after the up/down counts were removed from Reddit (notice that they added visible vote counts, which they didn't have before): http://web.archive.org/web/20140718134533/http://whoaverse.c...

Other than the stickied site announcement, almost all of the posts only have a handful of votes and only a few have any comments.

The banned users were the first group that actually stuck around on Whoaverse/Voat, because they didn't have the option of just going back to Reddit.
This looks amazing!!! Thank you for creating and sharing this!

This is replete with multiple levels of irony. Google pays apple billions to make Google the default search engine. Apple does not sell ads directly but they profit mightily from sale on those ads.

When the mafia breaking your legs is owned by your adversary or rented by them is a fig leaf of a distinction.
In the case of SSH keys, when you export the key fingerprint you can edit the comment. I like the convention of email address & hostname to disambiguate the entries in a centrally-managed authorized keys list – when you get a new device, update the list and push the new version out.

Unwrapping it puts the private key into memory, from which it can be extracted (it’s hard, of course, but looking at the state of Intel security, everything is possible). Secure Enclave is supposed to sign with non-extractable private key without putting it into RAM.
I've observed the same thing honestly, most default + biggest subs are pretty left leaning. Though reddit does tend to host some right wing subs for which you have you go out of your way to find. There's also some old hate subs they removed few years back, people tend to get the perception of reddit from that time.
I believe this language was originally the creation of the guy who wrote the crafting interpreters book, but it definitely looks like it has grown well beyond his influence.
It’s pretty clear this is from a lab. A number of well known scientists have said so, including the guy who got a Nobel prize for working on hiv has said so.
I have been using sekey for this for a while. Its pretty nice, I mean you do need to auth quite a bit if you use git clone over ssh a lot, but it does mean you know when keys are used.
I don't think it's arbitrary at all.

You want to pick strong, resilient leaders/trade partners/partners/employees. If you had some magical way to order people based on actual strength/resilience/grit, most people would (rightly) pick those highest on that scale.

Unfortunately, the only thing we have to go on is apparent strength. So everyone learns to pretend, to whatever degree they think is necessary.

Those who actually are that strong/resilient (for example, psychopaths monofocused on profit and power who don't care about working 80+ hour weeks) don't have to pretend so much. People who are more human (a euphemism for 'weaker', because everyone's terrified of the idea of someone actually being better than them) have to pretend more.

But you see how the solution here can't just be to lower the bar of apparent strength- or even how it's not clear how you could possibly do that? Everyone still innately prefers to work with the more confident person, all else being equal! And for good reason! It's an okay heuristic!

Even if you socially decree that 'it's okay to be weaker sometimes :) #behuman', people will just nod along and then go and reveal their preferences by who they choose to associate with anyway. And are they wrong? Do we want to rig things up so we select for CEOs who publicly show their weakness? I encourage you to try!
In previous years, when people wanted to cite an "anti-Fox" they would say MSNBC. Nowadays people say CNN.

Is the general perception that CNN is as left wing as Fox is right wing? I only see snippets of each but from that small sample, there is absolutely no comparison. CNN doesn't come across as left wing at all.
I'd like a "reddit" that wasn't a confusing mess to navigate on a browser on my phone and wasn't always trying to get me to use the app. It could do worse than take lessons from the design of HN.
A separate HN clone for each subreddit.
That's why I said there is a middle ground. In theory they could go further, and have options to make it increasingly hard to read the posts (i.e. you have to click through multiple warnings). But I'm not saying that they should never outright delete things if they are bad enough. They probably should never completely delete Presidential posts/tweets.

The nice thing is that then they aren't censoring. People are able to see what is being suppressed or hidden if they are interested. I think it is good to have nuance built into the tools.
I learn stuff on HN every time I visit. Reddit is (somewhat) entertaining, but I don’t usually learn anything important there.
Market neutral strategies really only work with significant access to leverage and favorable financing. Retail investors such as myself are unable to get the kind of juice necessary to run a L/S market neutral strat.

Of course, I suppose it would be possible if you discovered some amazing alpha factor. But if you did, you probably would be better just trying to get investors.

So in short, the answer is $0. For my personal portfolio, I run (only started recently) a variable leveraged beta strategy that can be described in my three part series:

You know it's not an either/or proposition, right? You can still use reddit even if you also have an account at the competitor.

But anyway: if you are someone that only cares about looking at whatever BigCorp allows you to look, then sure, keep using reddit.

If you'd like to have some form of control over the content you value, create and would like to promote, then your best bet is to fight for alternatives to the current big centralized systems.
Maybe to help manufacturing yield improvements? Sometimes a design change can improve part yield, and if you're already having to validate it for a die shrink anyway, it might be worth the cost of a redesign. Especially if the chip is composed of IP Blocks (or a similar analogue.)
Hilarious to make that comment on HackerNews. This site is undeniably a reddit competitor, but it doesn't feel like a cesspool to me.
Of course the default rate is artificially higher because only loans with high interest are available and a more widely available reasonable rates would likely lower those defaults.

"Noob gains" doesn't have anything to do with setting goals or quantitatively measuring progress. It refers to the speed at which unadapted athletes are able to progress (e.g. add weight to the bar, run farther) each workout when they first start training, compared to athletes who have been training longer, are more adapted, and progress slower.

Most professional and highly adapted athletes are extremely quantitative about their training programs, much more so at the advanced stages than in the early stages. They just progress much slower because it takes more training for their bodies to continue adapting.
If you choose to opt out of email then you also choose to opt out of email support and being able to reset passwords via email. Two factor auth solutions let you store a one time recovery code for example that you write down or store somewhere safe, that's one option if you care to support it but I wouldn't mind losing the email only features you mentioned either.

So again without taking sides, those in favor of affirmative action would point out that life in America does not offer a level play field and that there are clear systemic discrimination based on race and some aspects of ethnicity.

African Americans have a life expectancy that is more than 10 years less than Asian Americans

https://www.thebalance.com/the-racial-life-expectancy-gap-in...

African Americans have a median income that is less than half that of Asian Americans

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_U...

African Americans are incarcerated at more than 20 times the rate of Asian Americans.

https://www.prisonpolicy.org/graphs/raceinc.html

If one accepts that one race is not inherently better or worse than others then one must accept that other systemic factors are in play that clearly favor Asian Americans over African Americans.

Affirmative action seeks to re-level the play field and measure the potential for success for two given representatives of their respective groups.

I think the problem is that because reddit banned a lot of extremist communities there is pent up demand within those groups for a new host platform. If you start a new reddit competitor, users with those extemist views are looking for a home and will be the first to find and adopt it.

A large well formed community can survive a portion of its users with negative comments and posts, but I doubt you can build a community on the back of those users. Instead that negative group poisons the the platform for a more mainstream crowd. People won't join a plateform if the first thing they are exposed to supports extremist views.

You got to live in a poor country to understand the simple difference. These trivial sums are able to buy more capital goods than in a developed country.

A wheelbarrow is ~$2 vs ~$150. Microfinance is a game changer & its very visibly so.

Comments like yours are just so obviously from a developed country/western viewpoint because they basically assume the cost of life/goods/services is the same between the local market you live in vs the developing country with microfinance.

The basic refutation can come from a PPP basket of goods that goes even more basic to things people use every day. Flour, Chicken, i.e not a Big Mac index & not an equivalent goods-for goods comparison of the basket. There is no McDonalds in Nigeria fyi - the items of consumption are different too. The most expensive item in someone living in a developing country is typically phone airtime & never rent/mortgage which is probably your biggest outgoing in the developed world.
