I wonder how similar it's going to be to the Snapdragon XR2 reference design.
It's not just copyright law that causes unnecessary damage, but how private companies often overreact to it.

I took a multiday cross country road trip a few years ago and installed a dashcam before I left. I put together a timelapse video, complete with some of my favorite music that I felt was appropriate given the purpose of my trip and the landscape in view. Those friends and family who have seen it think it's pretty cool.

But good luck sharing it anywhere online because Content ID and the like are everywhere.
Disagreed. The app has access to a much more granular device fingerprint containing carrier name, battery status, accelerometer/magnetometer data (I've seen at least one nasty company exfiltrate such data in their SDK), etc which can directly be correlated by data collected by the malicious Facebook SDK that contaminates pretty much every other mainstream app. In contrast, the mapping between browser fingerprint and device fingerprint isn't a 1-to-1 and is a bit more fuzzy.
Parallelism is too hard in C, easier in Go, but Rust makes it too easy and is therefore poorly designed? What kind of an argument is this?
How many people are in the C-suite?

We have a bit over 100 employees and about 30% are PoC.
If you curate your home page there it works pretty well. Turn off the popular subreddits that are the "default" and it works well enough. I mean it -is- free. I'm not sure why anyone would expect academic level journal topic curation from something as anarchic as reddit.
And notice how regional that is, stemming from a history/land divisions that again were regional. Imagine if people were bombing for the IRA world-wide... that is materially different.
Grupa.io is hiring blockchain teams to build full scale products
Hey there! We’re looking for teams that want to work on cutting edge of development. Get paid to complete end to end products; working with the best teams in the start-up industry.

Why not use your expertise to be a part of something bigger? Email me at royce@grupa.io or register on our website at Grupa.io
The link is the usual... stuff, so it's obvious why I cannot treat seriously any words of this "opinion contributor". So I don't have anything better than to ask HN: for those unaware of the situation, what can be considered the real reason to shut down this newspaper?

It seems like unusual thing to do, and considering the circumstances will surely cause some discontent (and, what's more importantly, if I'm not mistaken: discontent of some subset of Trump's supporters), so there must be some important reason to issue such an order. So what is it?

Thanks for this. As is often the case, webdev seemingly seems to suck the air out of the room at times in discussions of programming, and there are a lot of other super interesting domains out there.
I like that. I saw a cookie jar and I took one. I didn't bake them myself, and it's not my fault they stole your recipe and gave the cookies away for free.
It's not really a success. Nobody thinks of music piracy as more serious because of the word. If anything, they think of nautical piracy as less serious, because music piracy is the phenomenon they're familiar with.
This boils down to the community you are a part of.

One of the games I like to play has its own forums and they are still the best source of info compared to reddit. Discussions are surprisingly readable, though that may have something to do with the older target audience.
I wonder how the author views Zig as a C replacement.
Poisoning StackOverflow posts that some developers will easily detect, report and have removed seems like a “stupid” hypothetical that this “brilliant” hacker has sold to a reporter.
Well, yes, this bridge is built out of LEGO, and yes, it does bend a lot and make concerning noises every time a car drives over it, but it hasn't actually come apart yet, so we'll keep sending traffic over it.

> Cargo is mandatory. On a similar line of thought, Rust’s compiler flags are not stable. Attempts to integrate it with other build systems have been met with hostility from the Rust & Cargo teams. The outside world exists, and us systems programmers spend a lot of our time integrating things. Rust refuses to play along.

Linux kernel maintainers doesn't want to use Cargo in the kernel ("Agreed, I wrote one ~half a year ago that compiled TUs through rustc mimicking what we do with cc to some degree (i.e. no cargo etc.), and it was quite pleasant." [1]), and there hasn't really been much opposition to that by the Rust team.

> However, nearly all programs needn’t be parallel. A program which uses poll effectively is going to be simpler, reasonably performant, and have orders of magnitude fewer bugs. “Fearless concurrency” allows you to fearlessly employ bad software design 9 times out of 10.

Sure, if you don't care about performance, which may very well be the case in many situations. However, the reality is that modern CPUs get their performance from multi-core workloads, requiring you to do things in parallel. Go does have some nice bits (e.g. no fragmentation between Tokio and smol, no need to separate code between async and non-async versions), but you don't explain what those are in depth.

> I especially refuse to “rewrite it in Rust”

Sure—that's mostly just a meme[2], which many people in the Rust world acknowledge is a bad thing[3].

“Cultural reasons” is often a “dog whistle” term. I don’t believe that’s the case here, and am responding in that spirit.

Why does “Black culture” in the US differ from “White culture”?

I believe it’s because their experiences differ. Blacks in the US are disproportionately poor, urban, and from unstable home environments. While I don’t have facts to back this up, I expect that if we compared groups segmented by these factors we would find the racial/ethnic disparities to be much less pronounced. That difference could be reasonably attributed to culture.

What shaped those cultures? That’s the important piece of information, and the root cause here. Looking back over American history, I’m aware of no point in which Whites and Blacks had even roughly equivalent conditions as a whole. At best, I would expect that the Black experience today is somewhere close to first-generation Irish or Italian immigrants in during their initial surges. Perhaps a closer fit would be Chinese immigrants during the railroad boom of westward expansion. It took generations for those groups to be fully integrated into our society.

I fully expect it to take generations to solve this problem. There’s much to do that can speed it up - like ensuring legislation does not discriminate either explicitly or implicitly - but it’s going to take time.

Changing hiring practices alone will not solve this.
Black people are not systematically stopped from succeeding.

Here in the UK Indians 'succeed' because, as I mentioned, they invest massively in education. If you look at the grammar schools (selective state schools) exam, quite often the majority of children in the room are Asians.

The same route is open to black people, to white people, to anyone. The issue is much more complex than claiming that a specific group is victimised.

People are, in the vast majority, hired on merit. If you have an opening for a software engineer you can only hire someone who applied for that job. Few black people in tech starts at 6 years old.
Thirty years ago today and I was in Saudi Arabia getting ready to go to Iraq. It would be another 4 years before I started using my first computer and a year after that my first Linux OS.
That's my point. We should discuss the specifics and stop generalizing.

For example, OO has polymorphism as a core idea. TypeClasses are an implementation of ad-hoc polymorphism. This concept is a core part of OOP as well as all practical FP languages.

Now if we talk about OOP being bad, and we start talking about ad-hoc polymorphism. That's actually a great concept. It's one of the best concepts to appear in programming languages. So here we are talking about something great which most OOP languages have and make a core part of their offering. Something which Haskell also has and makes a core part of its offering.

Now you can try to move the goalpost, say nah, OOP doesn't mean ad-hoc polymorphism... okay what does it mean then? And maybe you mention class inheritance. Okay, is that it? What about abstraction, data encapsulation, overloading, access scopes, data instantiation, polymorphism, message passing, information hiding, actor-concurency, user defined types, etc. ?

So if you meant to say that inheritance is bad, then say that inheritance is bad. But even here, TypeClasses support inheritance?

> Haskell also supports a notion of class extension. For example, we may wish to define a class Ord which inherits all of the operations in Eq. [...] Note the context in the class declaration. We say that Eq is a superclass of Ord (conversely, Ord is a subclass of Eq), and any type which is an instance of Ord must also be an instance of Eq.

From: https://www.haskell.org/tutorial/classes.html

So what now? Maybe we actually mean that field inheritance is bad? Or what is it? And that's the kind of technicalities we should be discussing, not just say OOP bad, FP good.
It's funny how I've been labelled an alt-right troll and was banned from the UK subreddit for a while, because I stated that Gandhi's statue should not have been toppled, that he wasn't a racist, that Sadiq Khan and the London mayoralty is partly responsible for high rents, etc etc. Incidentally, at the time, I was a Labour member, with a whole ton of MPs in my phone book, including the current leader, and some of whom I was so close that we invited each other to our homes. It was laughable.

But that experience and the constant name-calling against people not expressing a far-left opinion kind of soured the whole reddit experience for me. I barely look at country subs or any of the major subs now, and focus instead on niche subs, only because reddit is also a good way to get some questions answered. Especially when stackoverflow comes up short and I get downvoted to oblivion for asking supposedly noob questions, I get much more help from the respective reddit sub.
Would love to hear your best guess/rationalization for how nothing is being taken.
Yeah I used to use a couple other ones (reddit is fun?) and sync is far above them.
If that’s a clear line, how does zoning work? If there isn’t anything residential within ten minutes, your clear line flips: you cannot choose to live closer, so does everyone get paid an extra 20 minutes per day for the minimum commute? I don’t think it’s such a clear line.

It’s even fuzzier with the common situation of nothing remotely affordable within X minutes commute. You can’t choose a $3M home on minimum wage, so the delineation of what is and isn’t forced on you to do this job is very fuzzy.
It's like an amateur poker player sitting down with WPT pros.

The pros don't know how to read the amateurs, who make nominally suboptimal plays, and can be disrupted briefly.

This seems like sheer dumb luck. For every one of him (or you, if you're reading this) there's a lot of people who thrash and struggle. I went through 80+ job applications before I got one offer last search, and that's less than I thought I would need

> You don't need experience to get started

This one seems situational. Best example I saw recently (and I can't find the twitter thread, I'm sorry) was weirdly shaped food startups. The large point was that there are stores for oddly shaped food, they're just ones rich people don't normally shop at (WinCo anybody?). And there are uses for damaged food, like juice. Sometimes you think you've found a niche, but you should still research it a bit

> Silicon Valley doesn't care about your background

Sure it cares less than other places. It still cares a lot. It's not everywhere people would support you that way. My silicon valley high school wouldn't have allowed folks to try and make scheduling software for them, not a chance.

> Failure is acceptable

This one, I somewhat like. Avoiding failure is definitely prioritized. I think maybe we should emphasize fallback plans maybe? Some people just can't afford to fail completely unless they have people who will support them through it

I think we're talking about a different kind of tracking. It's one thing if the data is collected for the purpose of billing (the telco needs to know who I called so they can charge me the correct price) or for exceptional circumstances (law enforcement, debugging logs for engineering, etc). It's another thing if this data is explicitly used against you to manipulate you better and waste your time with ads.

Most of the tracking you mentioned is done for purely functional purposes (the product/service can't work without knowing who you are, etc) where as the majority of online tracking is purely there for wasting people's time with ads.
If you self host your searches likely won't be as anonymous as going through somethinglike duckduckgo or startpage unless you have a dedicated VPN 24/7

I'm amazed that convection alone provides enough flow. I mean this is compared to the massive pumps that previous reactors needed. An innovation of the AP1000 was that the massive pump was fully inside the containment (actually attached to the steam generator) and they had to show that it would work without service forever.

https://www.neimagazine.com/features/featurethe-world-s-larg...

Anyway, what if the valves to the backup containment open while it's running at full power? I mean the electronics fail so the valves open. I suppose the steam generator is still running, but even so lots of heat would be dumped into the pool. Maybe there is an interlock so that the reactor scrams in this case.
Truancy: the action of staying away from school without good reason; absenteeism. (Had to google it! Thanks for a new word)

Truancy can be dealt with by providing food to the kid at the end of the school day, food meant to be brought home.

There are of course arguments against this, e.g., school are not meant for this. Well, schools are not meant to operate with absent students and whatever can fix should be considered.
Yes I think these are points we have to accept but many are not willing to. I myself come from a lower caste, although not Dalit. But I'm lucky to come from a region where caste system wasn't strong many decades back even (Bengal). But I can imagine, from news and other sources, what it might have done to my social existence if applied to me. I'm thankful to say the least.
1. No it's not open source, but I'm not excluding it from the roadmap :) The selling point is really the easiness of it.

2. Yes! We will be releasing tokens soon so that anyone can interact with the API.

3. Models can be up to 1GB, each model gets their own server , we only do real-time predictions for now. Meaning the models are constantly running waiting for a request
Time to compile is a hard to gauge metric. I’d rather just be transparent that the instance type has changed.

It’s presumably in a big standardized DC. They don’t have a continuum of instance configurations, they probably upgrade rarely and systematically. If they are mid upgrade just have 2 instance types available then sunset the older one. Since the upgraded instance is a new instance type it can have new (or same) pricing. In addition, they could publish benchmarks for each instance type if they want.

It is literally what we see with cloud providers having v1/v2/v3 names for some instance types.
I have been such an Apple fan over the years. The recent negative press Apple is getting doesn't affect me in any meaningful way. At the same time it does hit home that a device I use for many hours of the day is heavily controlled by their internal company policies.

I always felt like free software was a nice concept I didn't really care about day to day, my opinion is changing on that. I am really excited by a usable Linux on mobile offering.
I think you may still have to flip a switch in settings saying you're OK with seeing that–but really you don't have to go very far to find content like that anyways, just click on the comments for any post and you'll find something questionable quite quickly.
If you're talking about serving many requests cost-effectively, then really the problem is not the servers (except over-provisioning, which is rampant. Learn to use tools like AWS' auto-scaling system instead) - it's the code.

If you understand the basics of algorithmic time complexity (that's your Big-O notation) and profiling your code then you're ahead of 98% of other developers in practice. I'm constantly amazed at how many developers think adding more libraries, newer frameworks, or more layers of tooling will magically speed up their code because "it's so fast". If you actually time things you'll find out doing it the "slow" way is frequently an order of magnitude faster.

I've heard this sentiment, but I'm not sure if it's real.

Republicans are just as adept at constructing things as deconstructing things. Look at No Child Left Behind (fundamental reconstruction of education), the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA (large new bureaucracies), or the TCJA (fundamental reconstruction of the tax system).

I think what we actually witness in government is two different phenomenons. First, Republicans act as a largely cohesive block that requires less coalition building. Second, Republican governing philosophy has as a central tenet the idea that government is inefficient and market-based solutions are better, from Reagan's "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help." to Grover Norquist's Starve the Beast theory "My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."

And the inverse of this is also true, there is an aphorism about the two parties voters, "Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line." It seeks to explain why getting voters that agree with Democratic policies to the polls seems to be more difficult than getting voters that agree with Republican policies to the polls. This extends to the politicians, who pick largely from the same menu of issues but at different priority levels. This leads to the Democrats having to expend more effort to build coalitions, an example would be something like healthcare reform. Market-based solutions like the ACA have as much a home in the Democratic party as government-based solutions like Medicare For All (M4A). With a wider gamut of policy positions, more effort inevitably must be spent getting people to consensus.

This means that Republican governments get more of their goals done, and because of their governing philosophy many of those things are deconstructing existing programs. They are capable of putting new programs into place, I named a few but there are others, so it doesn't seem to me that the main difference is constructing new thing vs deconstructing existing things, but the amount of effort it requires to get your coalition to take action.

This all is an analysis of the efficacy of the two parties in accomplishing their goals, without really treading on the more dangerous ground of "who has the better goals?" I, like everyone else, have some opinion no this matter, but to try to keep the inevitable angry responses when discussing politics to a minimum, I'm going to just avoid discussing that altogether.

And not just generational material wealth, but generational intellectual wealth as well. What % of black people have parents they can go to ask complex financial questions about investing, mortgages, loans, retirement, etc. vs white people? Or even just basic cooking/diet/physical health questions? People vastly underestimate the value of intellectual wealth passed from successful, educated parents to their offspring.

"Belongs to the unit interval" is correct, but I like to think most of us have gotten enough exposure to cognitive science to know that the brain prefers to have a word or adjective for everything, and that's the problem here.

Also, Unit Interval is only an answer to this exact question, not a class of questions to which this one belongs. If the range was [0,5] then you couldn't even shorten it with Unit Interval.
