What do you consider secrets people genuinely need to keep? And who determines what is considered genuinely need to keep? Also telling you jump directly from genuinely need to keep straight to being terrorists.

Secrets don’t just need to be incriminating, they can also just be embarrassing. People don’t want the world to know they are secretly seeing a lover, or watch a specific type of porn or spend half their time at work browsing HN. Some of those will have real life ramifications.
I think it's clear that it is harmful to be LGBT (especially T). This is obvious in the clearly higher rates of suicide of these demographics.

I'm not arguing that we shouldn't be inclusive, but lets also make sure we're not pretending that there aren't problems there. You can't try to fix a problem you won't acknowledge.

Now, perhaps you meant something else when you said harmful, I just interpreted it that way because I would have expected you to say 'bad' if it was the case that the articles were judging the people themselves (much like a religious person might).
I think there is a bias for that, but I always love hearing of others who’ve used IDL. You should ask her if she knows of the coyote guide to IDL - I lived by it around 2008. Not sure if it was niche to my field or more general, or if it wasn’t a great resource before or after it was great for me :)
"turn clown"? I tried searching and using context. Nothing.

Does it mean, "make a lot of money", "write fantastical stories", or "become like someone else (the clown)"?
> could just as easily happen in a traffic stop

Well it clearly does....

But I think the point being made is that part of the issue is lazy policing/detective work. The concern about privacy is really about the concern of __abuse__ of data. Why many of us want to protect our data is that we do not trust those in power, nor current nor potential future rulers (a big concern). Such instances as the above example are abuse of that data, as well as abuse of power. The thought is that if they are going to abuse us, we're going to make it more difficult. Dragnet operations make the above easier, not the same level of difficulty.
DKIM is great but the keys need to be rotated at some interval. Most services will setup a CNAME so they can do this for you at least these days.
Your Google skills must be short. Clojure community is on fire with open-source and it’s IDE and build support is copious and stellar. Also it’s not statically typed on purpose; the reasons for this have been described & analyzed at length. I’d recommend you get out more.
I'd like to see polls on that. From what I've seen, people who worry about their privacy do things about it (like avoid google, pay cash, etc.) while people who don't care about privacy put evidence of their own crimes on facebook like idiots. Painting everyone with this giant brush of hypocrisy is over-simplifying a complex mix of people.
Insider trading drives prices closer to fair value. A CEO dumping shares before reporting a bad quarter saved money for unknowing purchasers buying the stock. If the CEO buys shares before reporting a huge new government contract, they get a better price for clueless sellers.

Now public companies could still restrict CEOs and other employees from profiting from insider knowledge. It could even be as simple as requiring employees to file disclosure filings before any stock transaction to level thevplayomg field.
This isn’t proof that those measures will stay in place after the pandemic subsides, as they have for travel. Since you brought up political parties, it’s worth noting that the party who lead that round of fear is the one in power.

> One of the presidential candidates promises a nationwide mask mandate

Fearing polls, Biden has run away from his position (made multiple times on record) of a national mask requirement. The other day he lied and said he never said it in the first place, claimed he's a constitutionalist and wouldn't seek a mask requirement because of that. This was all on video. So who knows what to believe from these clowns.

> is quite likely going to become a massive liability to my freedom

Compounding this is the advent of “hate crimes”, or rather the utterance of forbidden words. Now a days you can be hauled off in jail in many countries simply by expressing a wrong opinion, let alone hosting a service where others are allowed to do the same.
I live in Texas. I know a few coworkers who have had it but don’t know anyone who has died and I don’t know anyone who knows someone who has died. Don’t know anyone who has been hospitalized either.

I think we reacted appropriately at the beginning given the lack of knowledge about it but now that we have flattened the curve we are overreacting in a big way.

I’m a bit afraid of covid as there could be long term health effects we don’t fully understand but I know I won’t die from it. At the same time we have to live our lives and repair all the livelihoods we destroyed with the lockdown. We need to wear masks and be cautious but try to get back to normal.
"provide enough thermal and abrasion protection for most activities aside from those which need more thermal or abrasion protection"

> increasingly fascist world

You mean authoritarian world. Most people couldn’t name one tenet of fascism regarding finance, labor, etc.
Fascism is financially left wing but socially right, which is the opposite of liberal capitalism—regardless of whether the capitalistic govt is authoritarian.
yes I realize most people use it as a buzzword. And no I don’t want an authoritarian govt.
To add some flavor to the other answers, in K&R C the parameter passing was very uniform: everything (save doubles) got promoted to word-size and pushed on the stack. chars (and shorts) became ints. You couldn't pass aggregates. doubles were a problem, but were rare.

Because the parameter passing was uniform, you didn't need to inspect anything at the call site. All functions get called the same, so just push your params and call it. Types were for the callee and were optional. This is what powered printf, surely the highest expression of K&R C.

In modern C-lineage style, we enumerate our formal parameters, and variadic functions are awkward and rare. But LISP and JavaScript embrace them; perhaps C could have gone down a different path.

I wonder if it’s mostly about the cardinality of the options.

Songs are made up of only a few discrete notes, but strung together, but visual memory doesn’t really have a good analog. Pixels? That’s not how we think. Maybe there is a way to remember a visual scene, the closest I can think of is the memory palace technique, and it’s just damn hard to hone, but it really is effective.

I think the trickiest thing is error correction. In a song, a missed note is a riff, and likely close to the real note, in memory palace, there’s a risk it’s just way off and even that being way off fucks up the next step in recall, with no way to repair it.
I fail to see how this is "health theater", especially mask mandates, which show high effectiveness and relatively low imposition on personal freedoms, considering the pandemic is currently ongoing.
Something I was going to mention but “cut for time” was the idea of a royalty threshold.

Sure, charge influencers a royalty or collect a portion of advertising revenue for influencers with over some number of thousand followers.

But for individuals, the labels should be encouraging sharing.

Also, it seems somewhat obvious in retrospect that it’d be smart for the big labels to own a social network, with deep music features and integration with major music streaming services (E.g. “add this song this person is dancing to to your Spotify”). Now would be a great time for them to clone TikTok.
Seems very interesting. I checked out the site and I want to find out why lessons need to be dished out weekly via Reddit. I'm curious. What is the rationale/history behind this? And why Reddit?

When I learn a new subject I prefer having everything available so I could go through it at my own pace. I understand people learn differently so I wonder if this kind of approach works well for other people who learn differently from me.

Wish this project the best.
Emerson's Essays, First and Second Series.

I came across it aged about 19. He speaks about 10,000 things I'd experienced but assumed couldn't be put into words. And he's always very inspirational. I read in him daily for 10 years or so, this and his other writings, and still never go long without, although by now it's in my blood. John Jay Chapman said it well:

It is nothing for any man sitting in his chair to be overcome with the sense of the immediacy of life, to feel the spur of courage, the victory of good over evil, the value, now and forever, of all great-hearted endeavor. Such moments come to us all. But for a man to sit in his chair and write what shall call up these forces in the bosoms of others – that is desert, that is greatness. To do this was the gift of Emerson. The whole earth is enriched by every moment of converse with him. The shows and shams of life become transparent, the lost kingdoms are brought back, the shutters of the spirit are opened, and provinces and realms of our own existence lie gleaming before us.
their BABA success is due to luck, but they won't admit it, and instead attempt to replicate it with "skill". This is what happens to people who aren't humble enough to know their success wasn't really due to their own abilities.

Give a bad cop a club and they'll beat someone.

Give a bad cop a gun and they'll shoot someone.

Give a bad cop a swat van and they'll raid a teenager's home, kill their dog and brother.

I'm tired of this binary perspective. It is common but in bad faith. The tools matter. Different tools enable different levels of abuse. Yes, cops shouldn't abuse citizens and we should do our best to stop that. But do you expect to find a perfect solution? If not, then we should also ensure that when a bad cop slips through, they are limited in the damage they can do.

It's prone to boom and bust which has been devastating. Hayek describes a type of money that adjusts it's supply to maintain a stable price. Until now this wasn't technically possible.

There are a number of videos of the Starship "serial number 6" or SN6 test hop but this is the official SpaceX one. As such it is shot by a drone and has some shots of the Raptor engine during the flight.

I have always been a rocket/space enthusiast (was planning to be an Astronaut until my vision stopped being 20/20) and one of my favorite books on the subject is Sutton's "Rocket Propulsion Elements." One of the things that was clear from this text was just how difficult it is to manage the thrust of a rocket engine. Many engines had 2 or maybe 3 "settings" but the continuously variable thrust of the Raptor was pretty much considered "impossible" for a long time.

i don't want to watch everything. i watch about one hour of tv per day. maybe a movie once a week.

i have a very specific list of things i do want to see. favourite shows, certain actors, prefered genres. but what i want to see is spread over half a dozen services.

for $30 i get a lot of content that i don't want, and with every additional service i get more content that i don't want. and yet i'd have to spend more than $100 just to get 40 hours of the content that i do want.

you are effectively suggesting that i should not be picky and just watch what i am offered.

if i needed more content than i can watch in my lifetime, i could just watch youtube for free.

no thanks.

Call me a cynic, but this is noisy garbage.

I immediately caught myself, because I worked on a project that made great use of noise to do science. Hmm.

I’m not convinced more because there is no public, long term effort to save this information outside of closed warehouses.

I have a hard time finding proof that I existed and worked in tech in the 90s, if Google is any standard for the persistence of data, and tbh, I’m not sure what else would be. Archive.org is not super accessible for exploring - I can’t find my old site because it was on a sub domain I forget. Anyways, I think humans will mine our convos, but won’t need the prior, maybe because the social context doesn’t apply in the future as well I dunno.

Shit, what if someone puts this comment into whatever they call textbooks in the future.

In fact, Greek and English, being both Indo-European languages, are more closely related than Korean and the various Chinese languages.

There is a controversial theory that Korean, Mongolian, and Machurian, are all a part of an Altaic superfamily — along with Japanese, Turkish, and a number of others. This was broadly accepted fifty years ago, and less so today.

Hooks aren't always comparable to lifecycle methods. At my company every GraphQL query/mutation has a corresponding hook. There are frequently times when devs are tempted to use them, especially the mutations, in for loops.
I don't think it's that simple.

I left /r/patientgamers after the mods came out and declared they were going to be LGTBQ friendly, which meant any discussion about those issues, even if they were related to a game (for example the remake of Baldurs Gate) would result in a ban. The argument made by a lot of people is that the community should get to decide if that's something they want to discuss, not the moderators (and I agree).

I also left /r/fitness when they decided what they needed was a female moderator. They specifically decided they wanted a new moderator and that moderator had to be female. As if male moderators are unable to identify sexual harassment.

I don't want to be moderated by people who have a political agenda. Fullstop.

I didn't go to /r/fitness because it had a 'diverse' moderation team, I wanted to go there to discuss with fellow fitness enthusiasts. I didn't want to go to /r/patientgamers because it was a "safe space", I went there to discuss with others who also mostly refused to buy games for $60+ USD.

Too often moderators forget why they're there, and think that just because they have the power to means they should. There is absolutely a time and place to let upvotes make the decision of what stays and what goes. Not always, but very often it's true.
Communicating through channels is completely orthogonal to the type of coroutines (stackless or stackful). I would argue that Kotlin does channels strictly better than Go, since Kotlin channels do not have any of the problem of Go channels[1]:

1. No blocking forever on nil channels (WTF?)
2. Close is idempotent: No panic when closing a channel twice. Now you don't require 1 or 2 extra channels to measure proper closing of every channel :)
3. Send and receive behavior on closed channel is consistent - a easy-to-handle exception on both cases. Go panics on one case and returns a nil value in the other.
4. You can check the closed status of channel.
5. There are non-blocking versions of send and receive.

I haven't tried Rust channels yet, but I assume they also deal with these issues by having a sane API.

Go was not a pioneer at all here - it just had a Google-level PR to push its "revolutionary" ideas. The concepts of channels is much older than Go. It's not a secret that channels are based on the CSP model by Tony Hoare, and Rob Pike has a long history of researching CSP and integrating CSP constructs into his languages while he was at Bell Labs[2].

Channels are not the possible construct here. I'd argue that earlier languages implemented channel-like constructs in a much safer and saner way: e.g. Erlang's actors or Ada's Rendezvous (which dates all the way bac to 1983!).

Most of the large law firms in the US advertise specialisation in "crypto/blockchain", though they might categorise it under something even more general, like "fintech".

> 2. What's the future of what we now call journalism? Is it all Substack (a YC company)? Can we run the global-scale world with that model?

I'm new to HN and was interested to read PG's answer, because I like the civility and on-pointedness of HN, which I think is a result of its rules of engagement. So, first I looked at Substack, which I hadn't heard of before.

PG's answer suggests he values journalism, but I was surprised that Substack doesn't address the main problem of journalism, which is not a lack of "individual domain experts" - it's a lack of a viable business model to support people who practice journalism.

Advertising is what used to pay for journalism when journalism was published on newsprint. Since advertising went to online, journalism has been decoupled from the business model. Now less than half the number of journalists are employed in USA and Australia than at the peak, less than 20 years ago.

Can anyone point me towards attempts to find a new business model to sustain journalism?

If you have the money for the premium, you can get just about any kind of coverage you want. There are coverage types that protect a company from an honest mistake ruining the company. While the payout may not be able to keep the company intact, it could at least keep from total collapse. Insurance to protect if you get sued for mistakes. These are not the types of things you worry about as an employee of bigCorp, but in a start up, you learn about these things quickly if you find good business advisors.
I agree with the GP, but I also think it is poorly phrased. It's not that the engineers should be willing to say they'd go to jail, it's that they should be able to.

Right now, the conversation goes, management: "I want x". Engineer: "X is insecure, we should do y instead". M: "Y will cost us X more than x, and it's never going to matter for us, anyway."

This puts the engineer in a position where they need to argue and justify the cost. Compared to "Sorry, I can't do that; it's illegal and I'd go to jail if I did that and was found out." Now the engineer doesn't have to justify anything. The law isn't a burden on the engineer here, it's a shield.

Yes, there are still some scenarios in which management insists. In my limited experience, that's in gray scenarioa where it's arguable whether the law applies. But the point is, it's much easier for an engineer to argue whether the law applies, than whether it is worth the money.

I think you can see these effects in the lengths companies go to protect healthcare data (hipaa) vs any other random personal data.

I sure wish the US had rules around coupling.

I wish this concept went further, too. Hardware products like this should have to demonstrate a good reason to eschew a no-login option.
I never really got the outrage for that subreddit. Minors are sexualized in society all the time, especially by various magazines, and it's completely, 100% legal and accepted.

IIRC there were accusations of CP being put up and not taken down in a timely manner. For that reason I'm ok with the subreddit not being there, but the whole "sexualization of a minor" thing is a red herring.

just imagine if someone got up in arms about a magazine putting a picture of a 16 y/o with big tits on their cover. No one does unless she's explicitly in a sexual position.
From the detailed notes:

> "A pointer to a function serves to hide the name and source code of that function. Muddying the waters is not normally a purposeful routine in C programming, but with the security placed on software these days, there is an element of misdirection that seems to be growing." (p. 109)

It’s like a book by Calvin’s dad.
Perhaps some, and I think the examples you give of staying home when sick are great ones. I also hope wearing masks when sick stays socially acceptable.

That said, this "hyper sterilization" mindset is not appropriate if we're not in a pandemic. Copious hand sanitizer, social distancing, masks when not sick, limiting crowds, etc. are not needed when we're not in a pandemic and they have huge downsides for society.
Please remember the approach is "every context switch should go through a centralized channel". This including waiting on all other channels.

I need to see some benchmark to this level to be proven the overhead is negligible.

And of course, there is still the question of WHY would you ever want to do that. What can be gained from simulating an async-await model on top of a channel.
I was under the impression that reading hands was amateur. You should be playing the expected value of hands. If you do that you will fold often but get huge payouts from that guy when you have something playable.
I used to teach. Some students can be left alone and learn at good pace, on their own. Others need the regular cadence and guidance. EG: we meet every Monday, next we talks about X.

There are many different learning styles. Your style (mine too) (perhaps autodidact) does terrible in rigid structure, others need it - even for subjects they are enthusiastic about.
