This is the first I've heard of the incident but it sounds terrible. Even the original post on this matter, which sounds sympathetic to the motorist, says he "sped through the crowd, running over several individuals" - as I understand it, well before any shots were fired. How is that not really bad? Depending on intent that could be way worse than shooting him.
I was curious about this as well. The issue appears to be lack of scatter-gather support. See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/875#issuecomment...
I think it’s worth clarifying that I said I would “generally trust {author} more than {random internet person who hasn’t even tested author’s library}”. Are you saying that you trust random internet person more by default?

Trusting one more than the other is not the same as blindly trusting one and never running my own tests. The author who put in the effort to develop and benchmark their library deserves more benefit of the doubt than some drive-by commenter, in my opinion.

If I needed a high performance JSON parsing library, I would definitely set up a benchmark representative of my use case, and test a few different libraries. JSON libraries are usually pretty ergonomic and easy to swap between, so it shouldn’t be an arduous task.

Your very first two comments in this thread were far more insightful than {random internet person} just saying over and over that simdjson can’t possibly be slower, and those comments of yours on their own merit would have removed the need for me to leave any comments whatsoever to defend the original HN post, even without needing to observe that you’re an expert in this field, which just lends further credibility to your comments.

I think the rest of the discussion that occurred was really interesting to watch!
Agreed. Add to that separation of powers, federalism, limited government, protection of private property, gun rights, free speech, religious freedom, etc. Because those are also principles that the country is built upon.

The framers didn't believe in limited government. They didn't even incorporate their own bill of rights into the states! Their successors had to do it for them! The framers were concerned about limiting the federal government. And the people concerned about making sure the Constitution affirmatively protected religion? Yeah, those'd be the antifederalists. The only thing the Constitution says about religion is that the government should be kept the hell away from it.

These are nitpicks, but I think they're important, because the argument you're constructing uses terms that are used by American conservatives, and in that context they mean very different things. The American right seeks to limit all government, laboratories of democracy be damned. Would the framers wouldn't have batted an eyelash at the idea that a state constitution might impinge on the second amendment? Was it unusual for locales to prohibit firearms at the time?
> I know of no social space on the internet that has light moderation, no moderation, or primarily user-driven moderation that isn't also a dumpster fire.

The cypherpunks list comes pretty close. I don't believe that anyone has ever been banned, and there's no censorship. But yes, there are no ~modern social media like that. Perhaps Notabug could become that, once peers exist.

Dumpster fires aren't problematic if you can filter well enough. And sometimes they're good for lulz :)

He “supported gay marriage” but then tried to take away rights from the transgender.

Clinton never campaigned on an outright ban legal immigration for all Muslims. This was far to the right of all of the Republican candidates who actually disagreed with him.
> Their [Marc Porat, Bill Atkinson, Andy Hertzfeld] vision was now more ambitious: they wanted to put the power of a real computer into the hands of a casual mobile user. At the time this was technologically impossible, so they thought of creating a "cloud" of services running on interconnected devices: by roaming the cloud, even a simple, weak device could muster the computing power of a real computer.
But that work isn’t only magically able to be done by corporations. If pharmaceutical corps like Gilead and others didn’t rake in billions per year and were taxed properly (i.e. no more rentier incomes), that same work could be done in the open by NIH and others. Why are people so keen on state granted monopolies (patents) when it can be done open source?
Two questions (related to each other):

1) Why don't they just make it an even further graduated tax going all the way up the billionaires? Instead of having to spread a 2.4% tax on everyone, why not make it start at 1% and go up to 10% for billionaires, raising the same amount of money? Save us all some tax and boo hoo, the billionaires have to pay a little more.

2) What sets the limit of what % a city can tax? I.e. what would stop a city from imposing a 50% tax on billionaires? Just what the public wants to stomach? Or is there a legal limit?
This is one of the many events that show that you literally cannot trust the media.

And another reason that mob justice is not justice.
How often does covid leave people that type of damage? I've heard of individual cases but haven't seen how rare or common it is.
to answer a few questions I've seen in the thread

-no, faculty are not unionized

-nominally the concept of self governance and faculty roles in governance still exists at GT. However, when this began I'll be honest and saw a minimum amount (or role) of faculty governance involvement...which at the time didn't strike me as bad, until I saw how utterly unprepared the nominally professional management was to deal with things.

- We have gotten very mixed communication on fall instructional planning. By mixed I specifically mean what we have been told has changed AND is insufficient to make decisions about research, classes, or other things.

- We are also expected to support online only courses for international students and students with ADA accommodations who cannot attend classes in person.

May I suggest donating it to Engineers Without Borders? They can and will surely put it to good use generating electricity in an impoverished nation. A good friend of mine spent some months in Malawi building clean water infrastructure. EWB is a good charity.
> not want to associate with the employer anymore

How many of the people contacting an employer demanding someone be fired (a) actually have any association with that employer (e.g. Amy Cooper being fired from Franklin Templeton), or (b) have any intent of actually changing their behavior if the employee is not fired (stop using Google, stop going to Starbucks, etc.)?
> Why should I subsidize bad drivers?

You realize you still share the same roads with bad drivers, right? Insurance pool is the wrong level of abstraction to isolate bad driving. If anything, it puts our skin in the game to advocate for better education, prevention, licensing and enforcement on bad driving.

This is almost the same for healthcare. Covid demonstrated one more time, state of public health is tightly connected to your individual health. There is no rugged individualism as far as the virus is concerned.
Solving climate change of course!

I am partly obsessed with and researching / writing about how you could make carbon-free heating cheaper than fossil fuel based heating. If you can make geothermal systems cheaper than a natural gas furnace, then homeowners would have the same economic incentives as drivers, where operating an EVs is far cheaper and cleaner than ICEVs.

Related thought experiment: What if the aliens were 1000 years ahead in patenting everything (in a way which didn't expire), then forced their IP regime on Earth, extracting IP rent for everything, since it would _only_ make sense to trade with them?

> (3) insurers can punish you for witholding information by revoking coverage when they find out

I keep saying this over and over, read your policy. Make changes before you sign. My life insurance policy has verbiage that specifically says “anything found to be inaccurate after the second year cannot disqualify the insurance”

My advisor was explicit in the search for a provider that allowed this. I also may have given up way too much of my information for the privilege, but... worth it.
Sorry! My answer was certainly not very clear.

I use Terraform “under the hood” for this project.

What I was trying to explain is that the "hard part" is not the creation of the architecture components but the user-friendly features.
You and like-minded peers could have that, for sure. I can see the value for professional networks. Otherwise it'd arguably be far too dangerous.
Quite interesting since american coke and the rest of the world is quite different due to the sweetener used which is adapted to the local market.
In the US being HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup), and honestly when I lived in the US I could really taste the HFCS, something not really right with the products from my perspective.

The rest of the world tends to use either cane sugar or sugar beets as their goto sweetener depending on location.

From what I have seen (I’m at Tulane but have friends at Emory), they seem to have detailed plans and attention to making sure research labs have strict occupancy limits.
Document software design 10x better.

The foundation is flowcharts, with support for individual layers distinguishing levels of abstraction, and scenarios for exploring use-cases. From there:

- Live data. We look at metrics on dashboards but it doesn't put into perspective how they relate to each other. Imagine seeing on your flowchart of servers, that one worker has an anomalous CPU reading, and you can click into that to see the individual readings of the running services on it. (rudimentary version: https://app.terrastruct.com/diagrams/1404897320)

- Automatic generation and sync of diagrams. Having access to sources like AWS account and version control to create and keep in sync diagrams of your infra, db schemas, UML classes, etc.

- Collaborative editing, seamless integrations with written documentation, linking directly to code where appropriate, version control, etc.

So much of software can be better understood visually. Still early on, if you're interested in learning more, https://terrastruct.com. And would love to chat (email in profile) with anyone with ideas.

Well there's hydropower (gravity) or tidal power (celestial bodies). Otherwise I don't think water can be focused the way wind can.
For the purposes of copyright, the author is whoever translates/compiles it.

This isn’t just an issue for the bible; if you want the uncensored version of Samuel Pepys’ diary, for instance, you have to pay for it; it needs translation from shorthand, and the 19th century translations are censored.
I think Google already tried it with circles
I've worked on the same problem and came up with the same solution. My password was "Teapot Dome" from 2016-2018, and it's been "Cottage Cheese" since then. I have just come up with a new password, which I obviously won't share.

This solution doesn't actually work. Maybe the people are mind readers rather than time travelers. Maybe they beat the password out of you and then wiped your memory. Maybe they are time travelers, but it's like Groundhog's Day rather than Back to the Future and they've guessed ten billion passwords until getting it right. Maybe they have an Infinite Improbability Drive and just got really lucky.

Your test can prove that something funky is going on. It can't prove that the something funky is time travel.
In my experience Free Pascal, that is what the article refers to as "modern pascal", is a great language and compiler. It compiles to native code, to JVM bytecode, and there is even a tool to transpile to Javascript.

Unfortunately it suffers from a stigma inherited from it's origins as an old "teaching you how to code" language rather than a real language. Never mind the fact that Delphi (the precursor to "modern pascal") was the brain child of Anders Hejlsberg before he was snatched from Borland by Microsoft, when Anders had remade Turbo Pascal (already great) into a fantastic product. Bill Gates said "The only thing wrong with Delphi is that it's not made by Microsoft".

In short, Free Pascal a fantastic multi platform language and compiler, but suffers from a lack of popularity due to being considered something old and not very modern, even though it has all the modern features one might need.
The subtitle is "How can you process more data quicker?"

NumPy. It scores an A in Maturity and Popularity, and either an A or a B in Ease of Adoption depending on which Pandas features you use (e.g. GroupBy).

When you're using NumPy as the main show instead of an implementation detail inside Pandas, it is easier to adopt Numba or Cython, and there are huge gains to be made there. Most Pandas workloads on small clusters of say 10 machines or fewer could be implemented on a single machine.

Even simple operations on smallish data sets are often much faster in NumPy than Pandas.

You don't have to leave Pandas behind, just try using NumPy and Numba for the hot parts of your code. Numba even lets you write Python code that works with the GIL released, which can lead to linear speedup in the number of cores with much less work than multiprocessing without the overhead of copying data to multiple processes.
The US Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that faculty at private universities can be classified as managers, and hence denied the right to unionize. This probably isn’t relevant for GATech as it is a public school, but it does mean at many universities faculty are at the relative mercy of the administration.
We don't have public notaries as such and it would still 1. be a system that places trust in humans (which is easily exploitable) and 2. not free for the end users.

I mean, I think it's some ten cents per auth through a bank, if you'd have to invite a notary or visit them every time you want to auth, it'd definitely cost more than that.

I was thinking of a combination of biometric ID, physical card with NFC or USB and a pin or a password. Biometric info is hard to spoof, but not entirely impossible which is why ust stealing the ID card or biometric info shouldn't be enough, you'd need some type of password. Once the user provides all three, you'll know that physically that person carries the aforementioned identifications and is like whom they claim. These would be used to encrypt and unencrypt hashes, meaning that other individuals can also use the hashes to make sure they're contacted by or contacting themselves the correct person they meant to.

We'd also need to implement a way to manage permissions for other users to manage our own data. If you're for example physically incapacitated and want your caretaker to be able to access some services, you could add their hashed identity as an allowed entity and decide over which services and features they can see and/or edit.
While there are sects that consider certain translations to be special, or even divinely inspired, it’s usually pretty old ones which are out of copyright anyway.
Why have you chosen to express this point in such a trollish way? We've already received complaints about it.

It sounds like you're trying to say something about the danger of such systems being abused by the state in holocaust-like situations, but the wording is so odd that it's unclear what your real intent is.
The slight change in world oil prices is entirely due to the cost of burning fuel to transport oil around a continent. There is literally no upside here.

Skipping meals doesn't help you lose weight in most cases. Your body optimizes for the expectation of not having food and stores more energy.

Eating smaller, filling meals helps more. I actually don't know of anyone who's lost weight from salads. Usually they're just left feeling hungry and usually add dressing to compensate (which just gives you completely unfilling calories).
Maybe you could use a tamper-evident security token along with the password. Could be as simple as a fortune cookie. Keep it safe and crack it open at the end of the year to write the fortune next to your password. In the case of a probable time traveler who tells you your password, challenge them to tell you your fortune and open it afterwards to verify.
It doesn't really phase in. It steps in with discrete jumps.
I totally agree with the extreme example of nazism or something like that, or most less extreme examples of prejudicial behavior, especially when that person is managing or just in any way talking to others. The problem is that it isn't so cut and dry. Too many of these people either aren't actually doing anything wrong (Some truck driver with his hand out the window) or have done something that is comparatively minimal to what they received (Justine Sacco, for instance). It's not that these people shouldn't be reprimanded, just that it shouldn't be the default for it to happen in this public, permanent, and very often dangerous way.

The narcissism is real, if you're not closing your eyes to it. It's especially obvious when these people doing it have done what they're complaining about themselves. It gets back to the main idea, that you don't have to harass people to get your point across. Even the most egregious reaction, trying to take someone's employment (and most often the ability to support themselves and their dependents) can be done in a way that isn't public and permanent.
What if we generate a random number every, say, 5 minutes and maintain a log of them along with their timestamp. Then the time traveler could just look up a few entries immediately after their destination time and convince people by predicting them in advance. Not immediate but pretty quick.
When has there ever been a seriously fiscally conservative Presidential Candidate?

Buchanan was considered one of the most right wing candidates in modern politics and he was very much pro tariffs.

Trump is also very friendly with the NRA. Reagan was all about gun control - at least when Black folks were exercising their rights (the Muliford Act)

He might support gay marriage but he also tried to remove health care from the transgender.

All Republican candidates pander to the religious right without being actually religious.
Is it not? The win criteria is well specified so just iterate downwards from the highest priority win until you find a match?
I don’t see US voters complaining about Medicare, which is basically taxpayer funded healthcare for hospitals after you’re 65.

Medicaid is intentionally handicapped since it’s a poor person program and poor people don’t have good political representation.
I've worked with some very good programmers who happen to be devout Christians. I got over my prejudices quickly - it doesn't make sense to me but I don't have to understand it, just accept it.

If it hadn't been aes-ni, it would have been chacha, which is much faster than unaccelerated aes and close to the speed of accelerated aes.

This is one of the points of geohash, right?
I disagree. I think debugging is the most expensive activity a programmer ever does. Refactoring is a luxury that you have when you don't have bugs or time pressure to ship/fix something. Debugging potentially requires you to load the entire context of the (incorrect) program into your head, including irrelevant parts, as you grope around to figure out a.) what actually went wrong, b.) why it went wrong, and c.) how to modify the existing system in a way that doesn't make it worse.

Debugging is reverse-engineering under the gun. It has huge cognitive load. Especially debugging a production system with a difficult to reproduce bug in a deep dark part of the code. It's a nightmare scenario.

Refactoring, on the other hand, often happens with incomplete knowledge, and can be quite local. I've seen zillions of refactorings that are done with incomplete knowledge that are local improvements (and many that were not global improvements).
You're right, too late to edit but the "easily" was wrong. More like "theoretically".
Can confirm this works on android. Thanks!

On a side note, this "feature" really annoys me. If I want to lose my contacts etc when I switch devices, I should be allowed to. I don't want to store anything on their servers, encrypted or otherwise.
I didn't know it existed until ~October(?) last year. My $lastEmployer (animation studio) had a demo day where in-house people would demo some personal projects they were working as well as exhibit entrants' works to the actual demo scene. It was insane, I would never dream of being able to produce most of the things I saw. If I remember correctly we watched demos from the 4K category to the 1 or 4M category. Procedural graphics, audio, emulation, it truly is an art form.
I don't think that's right. You can always turn it into a greedy iterable (e.g. convert it to a list) if you need the certainty that you can modify the underlying thing, while still reaping some performance benefits from the maybe-lazy iterator in the rest of your use cases. Assuming the iterator wasn't infinite, of course, but in that case you already knew it was lazy.
This is pure speculation, but I wonder if the verse structure helped with copying, like some sort of primitive coding standard.
This guy is apparently "alt-right", though I don't know exactly what that means these days, but someone mentioned him here on HN the other day which led me down the rabbit hole.

I thought this video [1] was interesting and it introduced me to the difference between rhetoric and dialectic. Rhetoric is using emotion to convince people. Dialectic is using reason. He points out that you need to know how to read your audience to choose the correct angle of argument. Some people get hung up on, for example, always persuading through facts (dialectic), when what they really need to do is reach for emotion (rhetoric).

Anyway, I thought it was an interesting intro to the topic.

I also had a recent install that was unbearably slow. It turns out that the SD card was corrupted. Raspberry Pi OS comes with a SD card checking utility you can use to check. Replacing it with a new class 10 card made it fast again.
