Look to individual people's motives, not the US' interests. US Sec of State Pompeo knows Trump, who fires cabinet members that don't tow the line and act loyally to him, wants the US to appear no worse impacted by COVID than other countries to prevent general election weakness. Pompeo therefore does whatever he can to generate news articles about how much worse other countries are.
I had read the book, but not the Wikipedia article.
Because I have better programming languages which, despite being able to interact with the system and its commands, don't pretend to be one with the system. As a result, the core high-level language constructs mesh better, because they're not trying to serve two goals at once.

The power and usefulness of a given language is often the ability to serve multiple goals at once. Python as tool is cool specifically because of a large-ish but accessible-ish library covering a everything from regex-ex to a web-server.

This project might not serve the goal of writing high level programs and interacting effortless with the command line/system. But I don't one should automatically dismiss the goal of making stuff-glued-together look like a coherent whole.

A lot of apps have a mix of executing logic locally and remotely.

A “streaming” app just means more of it is executing remotely.

It’s hard to see why the App Store review criteria should be different for an app depending on its internal execution architecture.

Now, I don’t agree with various App Store policies. But that’s a separate issue. I think they should revise those policies for everyone, not just have a loophole for some apps that run more of their logic remotely than others.
If you are an addict and want to get clean, there are very few resources at your disposal (unless you are wealthy). Many addicts start out being prescribed drugs by a legitimate doctor, but are left without resources to break their addictions when the prescription runs out.
Most if not all addicts do not want to be addicted. While there may be some small group of people who commit crime for fun to go buy drugs, typically it is an act of desperation. Nobody ever says "I want to be a junkie when I grow up".
There are plenty of paper launch systems that engineers have run numbers on showing they could work, that won’t work in practice. This and VentureStar are two examples.

In this case it’s not the shape as much as carrying way too much extra/dead mass, jet engines, aero spikes, and using a LH2 means much more massive tankage requirements.

Tecra 500CDT for me. Dual booted Windows largely for DOS gaming, and Debian.

But what I really wanted (and still occasionally look up on eBay) was one of the tiny Librettos. Never took the dive though and as the years passed the spec became harder and harder to justify.
I don‘t know that much about how the standardization in machine building is done, just from using this standards when working in this industry. However, I would assume a lot of those standards took very long to establish but they are stable, work basically everywhere and are easy to understand.

A lot of standards coming from Google are - so it seems - here to solve things just Google likes to solve and nobody else mostly does not care about. And it‘s not standardization if you‘re the only one caring about it and forcing it onto other.
I hope those now remote employees have access to some good issue tracking, repo hosting, and collaboration/documentation tools.

Else they'll be forced to use something like Jira, Confluence, Bit Bucket, and such, which suck...
My theory is that Google is notably worse at this because their core advertising business is so profitable. Most companies would have been forced to become good at managing projects by necessity but until ad revenues substantially decline Google can subsidize a ton of inefficiency and still report good numbers to Wall Street, just like Microsoft's various write-offs in the 90s and 2000s.
S-process is still endothermic, though, right?

I'm not sure if endothermic is the best word. IANAP. It seems to usually be used when discussing fusion-based neutron generation. But AFAICT neutron generation, especially as it relates to the s-process, is still largely a thermal process--the greater the temperature, the more neutrons are generated, the faster the s-process evolves. (If you go back to the beginning of the universe all nuclear synthesis represents an endothermic process, right? Though, maybe such semantic games aren't particularly helpful when distinguishing nuclear synthesis processes.)
It seems to me that this is what linkers and static/dynamic libs are for. Why does it also then have to exist in the compiler?

I suppose there's the problem of optimization across module boundaries, but if you solve that problem for compilers, might as well solve it for linkers.

What you're describing sounds like my current best practice for developing iOS apps. I have multiple static libraries for separate logical code units that don't have to be recompiled when unrelated code is changed. This is for C, C++, ObjC and Swift. All iOS package managers have the option to download compiled binaries, as well.

Agreed, the Toshiba Chromebook 2 is nice, 4GB RAM, good keyboard, beautiful screen. But the web has become so slow and bloated, it's not very usable anymore. It now works as dedicated recipe terminal in the kitchen. It is still getting ChromeOS updates, until next year I think.

Yea - I see it as weird too. The only reason I'm still an advocate for WordPress are the self-host-ability/full customization aspects. Otherwise, you're just another Medium that's going to take my data and use it against me.

Honestly, I wouldn't touch this until Automattic publishes the code. To a old-timer who's been leveraging WP for well over a decade: ew.
Sounds great. These days we only get the Google or the MS batches of results.
Not defending it, but in regards to the PS app, the guidelines specifically allow streaming of the users own personal devices.
> actually configure the Rust compiler with a promising set of optimizations and evaluate the results.

LLVM lets you configure an optimization pipeline of passes. I'd hack up my own -O flag and pipeline. It would be cool to see these suggestions tested out.
Lucky they aren't building a new headquarters in Sydney or anything LOL.
I have HIBP alerts setup for client domains and it quickly notifies me, shows me what user emails were in the breach, and a general idea of what data was in the breach (usernames, passwords, financial info). Maybe if you're reviewing old breaches it's pointless, and if you're using a pw manager and taking security seriously you don't need it. But most users will use the same password for work as they do with some stupid app so at least with these alerts I can go and remind them not to use work email to signup for a free hamburger or whatever
It's true for all countries and not just Europe from what I know. However, for people who espouse these ideas, being paid well is irrelevant. Their concern is that nobody else is being paid more than them. I think it's a type of personality: some people measure success in absolute terms ("I have a nice house, nice food and my children get bright future, I am happy") and others measure success only in relation to their "rivals" ("I live in trailer but my neighbors live in mud huts, I eat cat food but my neighbors eat actual cats, my children go to community college but my neighbor's go to prison, I am happy").

The highest-earners pay a lower effective tax rate than the median earner.

Combine this with Linus's recent rant about how avoiding the kernel during thread synchronization is counter-productive leads me to think that threads + a synchronized queue built with a mutex and a condition variable is simply the simplest and most effective way to go wide.

Trying to liquify that into dollars all at once would show the world how valuable BTC really is.
But most of those billions of lines are not the low-level infrastructure relied on by many projects. To split out a single product would only require creating external versions of a much smaller subset of the code (and once that had been done once, other products being split out could build on that effort).

How does the IETF manages it? It operates by seeking broad consensus. That might work. Also getting a good compromise done should be in the interest of everyone. Plus there could be iterations every few years. (Like there's with JS/ECMAScript via TC39.)
True, but what I meant to say is that there is nothing revolutionary. It's not providing capabilities that we didn't have before. It's simply establishing a standard for a tiny subset of what a modern web framework does- roughly equivalent to those 3kb of code- by doing the equivalent of incorporating it natively inside the browser.

Yes, now you can use components without a framework (you could use them without a build step also before). But if you want to do anything more complex than a static page with jquery, you still need both.

To me it feels like the dream of 2005. It's cool, but we've been able to do the same for at least ten years at this point, and with the tools of our choice.
I had a Toshiba laptop that weighed 80 pounds, a quarter of that was the power adapter and an external drive. The backpack I carried it in could fit a folded yurt. It permanently altered my gait. Good times.

This is basically how Singapore operates, and their government is an extremely well-oiled machine. I doubt most countries could pull it off, though.
Mass accelerators aren’t useful because the atmosphere limits their final velocity. You’d need to have an enclosed vacuum tube with an exit north of 20,000 feet.

There have been proposals to build something just like that with a “plasma” door at the end that can snap open and closed to keep the atmosphere out of the tube. It still can’t get anywhere near orbital velocity, so the plan is to use it to accelerate a second stage that uses rocket engines after it is released to provide the rest of the orbital DeltaV.

The Problem is rockets are relatively fragile and the high gees and hitting an even thin atmosphere at Mach 6 would destroy them.

Look up “spin launch” for an even crazier idea that’s actually funded.
Not to mention getting pinky syndromes from using ctrl so much.

It feels that command being close to thumb (macOS) is a much better design than using pinky with control (Windows)
Off the top of my head, the Cato human freedom index isn't the same thing as "free speech" the OP mentioned, and while Europe I think strikes a balance very well its rights to guarantee its citizens a happy life, the US in particular is also known for having a kind of extreme position on free speech owing to the original constitution.

Google "freedom of speech in us vs europe" to see some of the differences.

These differences aren't common enough in day-to-day life to affect quality of life, but in certain controversial situations it leads to different laws being passed. I think that's what OP is getting at.
> Lynching is a premeditated extrajudicial killing by a group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor, punish a convicted transgressor, or intimidate. (Wikipedia)

These deaths can hardly be called premeditated extrajudicial mob executions, with the sole exception of Ahmoud Arbery.
I'm also interested in the packaging/deployment story. Can you easily make a zip with everything built-in and 0 OS dependencies? Can you ship a single, statically linked binary?
The Toshiba T1000 was the first portable computer I ever used, touched, or saw. It was a miracle: LCD screen, battery power, real keyboard. It felt like something snatched from a time traveler. (Except it booted from MS-DOS 2.1 hard-coded in ROM. I had to boot DOS 3.2 from a floppy.)

Fascinating, I had never encountered this. Stellar core all electron-positron pairs, momentarily.

So we get all the elements heavier than iron from these insane-o-novas and from ordinary supernovas, often by decay from even heavier isotopes. Do we know how much of each is from which? E.g., did all the platinum or something start from pop iii output?

Thank you for your detailed response. Here are two things you can do today:

1. Be significantly less tolerant towards transphobic comments on this site, such as this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23937722

2. Send very clear and very loud signals that transphobia is not welcome here, such as by making a clear, pinned front page post about it. There are going to be a number of people who are going to complain about this policy and talk about "free speech" and "marketplace of ideas" &c, and to them make it very clear that either they get with the program or are no longer welcome here.

If you personally want to check your password wouldn't it help to curl more queries? Probably also taking care to make not too much per some unit of time?
This is a good pitch and I think composability is the major selling point for programming in the large. Time will tell though if the ecosystem doesn’t fragment as different approches or competing packages appear, for political if not technical reasons. The Torch vs TensorFlow choice could have been in Julia.

> I think Julia will someday eat Python for scientific computing, but it may be a while before that becomes obvious to Python users.

I can’t say I understand this rather pervasive attitude. If you have well tested code in a language which you can easily interface with, why bother rewriting it except for reasons of performance or compositionality? Or perhaps you mean that we’ll all be writing Julia even if some algorithms still sit in Python?
Web search engines generally are also full text search engines.

This project is useless for people who have their own private text to search.
I don't know about him, but I come from a somewhat weird angle, I'd want to use Julia to replace Python for command line, Opsy/DevOps type tools. Go has quite a few things I'm not a big fan of, at the moment, so Julia seems the perfect candidate. But right now its deployment situation is too complicated, I just want a static binary or a self contained zip.
The added weight of every aero spike engine ever made obviated its performance benefits, even for SSTO. SpaceX has always focused on super high thrust to weight ratio engines (Merlin and Raptor) and that (along with lighter tanks) has more than offset the lower ISP of their propellants.
I am directly responsible for Jira and Confluence admin/infrastructure on an enterprise level and once you know how at least Jira works, its a fairly powerful tool for PM's. I haven't run into many issues except during a migration where we knew we were going to run into issues.

Atlassian's documentation isn't that good however.
First, it's not just this move, but it certainly contributes. I think it's fine to label state-influenced accounts, but why not do it across the board and label all state-influenced accounts? BBC is state media. NPR is state media and is constantly accused of bias, as is the CPB.

Twitter also does not specify how they make the determination other than to say that it consulted some unnamed members of their Trust & Safety Council. That thing is a mess in itself, and counts the ridiculous Dangerous Speech Project among its members.

All of this is to say Twitter is not only opining on the content, but clearly exercising control over what is published.
What? That’s exactly what it does - it pipes controls to the server where it’s executed. Nothing runs on the phone other than a streaming agent.
Show HN: Custom Ipsum Generator for my team
I'm an SEO for a startup and I got tired of Lorem Ipsum and due to my company's dev/design process, more times than I'd like it makes it to a live webpage and goes unnoticed for weeks or months. So I figured if it'll sometimes make it to a live webpage for Google to index, might as well have some keywords of value in it (I know, keyword stuffing is bad, blah blah). I decided to make a Landscape Ipsum generator to use and publish it on the web in case anyone else ever needs this niche Ipsum content for websites they're making/mocking up. It was only like an hour of PHP but I don't ever really code custom stuff, so yes I am a little proud of it.

You are forgetting about how shell scripts start. "I don't want to keep writing these 5 shell commands, I'll put them in a file. Ok that is useful, I'll add some parameters. This shell script works great, I'll add more functionality."

And before you know it you have a buggy monster written in a batshit insane language that nobody is going to want to touch.

If your shell is at least vaguely sane, the situation is a lot better. I don't really get why you would argue against something that fixes the many many many mistakes of Bash.

The Seduction of Bad Posts
Federal criminal defense attorneys must pay for PACER access out of their own pockets (in theory, they are reimbursed, often years later, often at less than the full cost). Nor can they access records in criminal cases in other districts.

Meanwhile, prosecutors don’t pay and have nationwide access.

It’s fair of course. Completely. The Rule of law™.

Yes, I agree that the fair default assumption is I just don't understand the true complexity of the problem. And this is certainly true.

However, I don't accept this answer. I think most of the time the government's plan is so bad, so glaringly flawed, that even from my position of ignorance, I'm confident I can beat it without hardly trying.

When I said "incompatible at the physical level" I meant it in the OSI sense of an issue at physical protocol level. An electrical specification mismatch could easily cause hardware damage (but would be very hard to achieve unless you were using your own PHY or literally connecting a power supply to the PCIe lines).

Is there actually any at all? I can't really see how this could lead to any damage.
Here's my pacer story: When the Microsoft antitrust case was on, I made a pacer account to follow it; and kept using it during the SCO vs linux debacle. It was a bit worrying to look at things which cost $0.10/page, but I knew that if I didn't actually go over $10 (or something), I wouldn't get charged. I never did go over the chargeable amount, but nevertheless for a few years I used to get an invoice for $0.00 - sent by airmail to the UK.

Given they never bothered to fix that bug, I guess they were raking it in.
Right - it does appear the browser title is the latter. The subtitle is "And how to make it think differently."

The second paragraph begins to focus on this: "And it can be vastly consequential when people are divided into Us and Them"

So they are both important to this article - why it is this way, and how we can improve upon it, or work around it.
If my drivers license user fee is funding projects unrelated to issuing me a license, yes. The issue is with soaking PACER users for court costs unrelated to PACER.
