Clojure is wholly inadequate to meeting challenges of the industry today. Not just because it's dynamically typed (which means tooling for it is close to nonexistent and it has terrible performance), but also because its ecosystem is a ghost town.

It takes more than just a language to create a productive development environment in 2020, especially one which is so flawed by designed to the point of not even being statically typed.
I'd be interested in a list of all the terpenes, and maybe what they do, or at least how they smell and taste? Is there anything like this?

Wow. Links to twitter so often serve as a reminder that twitter is horrible and people are weird and noxious.

Of course you can, just ignore it, and pretend it isn't there. Don't even load its drivers. Because of dark silicon, you won't be able to fully light up the chip anyway. Use the GPU being off to clock other parts faster if you want. You still get an unaccelerated framebuffer if it has the same arch as every other chip I've seen with a PowerVR for the past twenty years (Dreamcast, BeagleBoard, iPhones, PSP Vita, the MIPS board they came out with that I'm forgetting the name of).
I believe JC was saying that individual investors make bad choices, on the whole. Institutional less so.

Consequently, as a market maker who wants to limit their risk if a trade goes sideways, optimal hedging for each looks different.

(Part of this is probably related to the distribution of orders. I've heard large enough individual flow tends to mostly self-average.)

Lol, oh well, it was a good idea.

In my own projects, I like to put the * on its own, like so:

int const * const i;

This is nice because you can naturally read the signature from right to left. "i" is a constant pointer to a constant integer. It's a little unconventional, but I think it's a really clear way to convey the types.
Was it the ANSI Std that did away with this style? Can't recall.

You're warranting that, but since you don't know people's secrets, how can you possibly make that determination? With some creativity I can think of many wonderful ways to find out and construct monsters of relatively minor things - the conversations people are willing to have in private are massively different from what they'll go on record saying. How can you not have encountered this difference? Can you really not imagine how even the most innocent of statements or criticisms can be construed by a paranoid power in the worst possible light?

Wow, tough crowd! I don't know that I -- or anyone that knows me -- would accuse me of "ever-evolving advocacy", but yes, I did see promise in node.js in 2010[1]. And yes, we at Joyent built systems on node.js -- but we also added unprecedented debuggability and observability along the way.[2]. While my views may not be "ever" evolving, they're also not incapable of it: by 2014, it was clear that node.js was diverging from my personal hopes for it -- that it was not going to become suitable for infrastructure software. While this was distressing at the time, I came to view this as a divergence in values -- a realization that I described at length in a talk in 2017.[3]

To the matter at hand: yes, I have fallen in love with Rust.[4] Yes, I think it is a good fit for system software.[5] And yes, this has served as a bonding force at Oxide -- but as much (if not more!) for the values that it reflects than for it itself.[6]

The type of a is

char *

. Some people (me included) find it clearer to write the type, followed by the variable name. So just as you’d write

int a

, you’d write

char* a

.

The fly in this ointment is that C type syntax doesn’t want to work that way. It’s designed to make the definition of the variable look like the use of the variable. A clever idea, but unlike nearly every other language, which BTW is why I think you should really use typedefs for any type at all complicated in C.

For example, the type-then-variable style falls down if you need to declare an array

int foo[4]

or a pointer to a function returning a pointer to an int

int *(*a)(void)

(...right?).

So I’m perfectly willing to do it the “C way”, I just find out more readable to do it the other way unless it just won’t work (and then prefer to use typedefs to make it work anyway).

Note that this was rethought for Go syntax.
Are there any services like this that do the job of a streaming pc too?
> Ever since then I have not been able to figure out why it is commonly taught next to the variable name.

C does this very cute (read: horrifyingly unintuitive) thing where the type reads how it's used. So "char ⋆a" is written so because "⋆a" is a "char", i.e. pointer declarations mimic dereferencing, and similarly, function pointer declarations mimic function application, and array declarations mimic indexing into the array.
Mind posting a picture of yourself, from the front, fully nude? And your home address, or at least zip code, too. Shouldn't take too long to do. Not picky about quality, either- a phone camera will be more than fine. But make sure your face is in the shot, of course.

If you don't want to post it publically, let me know and I'll create a temporary email to send it to. I'll be sure to delete it after verifying it.

...

Do you feel disgust in reaction to that request? I suspect most people would.

But why? It's not like it's anything sensitive, like a password. I mean...if you don't send the picture, what are you trying to hide? Are you a terrorist? I'm not even a government agent- I don't have the power to throw you in jail.

But, turns out, even when you don't have anything to hide, there's still some things you don't want to share. That's just human.
Assuming this scenario implies each needs to eat 1 banana and 1 apple, the Thomas Sowell outline still holds: Alice, having 2+ bananas, needs 1 apple more than the extra banana. And vice versa for Bob. Any bananas/apples beyond those needed to eat don't have any value at all.

I wouldn't say they are "truly atrocious". That makes them sound unusable. They're "slightly less good" than the Quest. They're very usable. They're not the best, but they get the job done.

On the other hand, I have had some headsets that were "truly atrocious". The Meta 2 was one. Never before or since have I had an AR headset give me simsickness. The PiMax 5K, with its nasty distortion at any view angle beyond the ~100° average of every other headset and its sole raison d'être, plus red image static, plus janky sidecar driver program. The Pico Neo 1, where the facial interface cut painfully into the bridge of my nose (I have it on good authority that the 2 corrects this issue for Western markets).

I was super disappointed when Google canned Daydream. I thought the Lenovo Mirage Solo was way ahead of the market.

The Vive Focus's controllers are a little flaky, but not unusable.

The original HoloLens was way too heavy, way to narrow of FoV, way underpowered, but hand tracking and built-in voice recognition, and MR desktop metaphor was quite something. I have yet to get hands on the 2, so I'm eager to get one. There's a quality of life experience with the software and the development lifecycle that is really, really missing from every other platform.

My point is that we should legitimately ignore the terrible headsets, but try to be a little more forgiving of the flaws of other the "not best-of-the-best" headsets. We absolutely need market competition in headsets. We must not allow Facebook to dominate VR. That is their end-goal, after all, and it would certainly be to the detriment of us all.
I did not mean to imply that GovCloud was a contract. I though it was the exclusive provider of isolated cloud services. I didn't realize Azure had its Government region. Glad that exists, I want to see that competition.

However FedRAMP is not relevant to what I was trying to say. My understanding is government itself directly uses just the AWS and now Azure isolated regions. What I was meaning to say was for the DoD, which I though was exclusively under AWS GovCloud, and AWS C2S, rather than the whole government. They could certainly be using Azure Government though.

I am glad to know there is more competition than I though. Thanks.

I know that when I came across an article where Wil Wheaton was complaining about CUPS and how bad printer drivers were in linux I was tickled pink.

Over time, as society became more aware of the value this industry brings, it's brought it more mainstream and also brought a lot more people into it (different types of people). But at the time I think the other posters assessment was spot on.

Like you, I never cared either, but I also think what they said is true.
It teaches declaration-mirrors-use

In this situation, the privacy violation of becoming a suspect via location history is an utterly negligible problem. What you describe could just as easily happen in a traffic stop (and in fact probably far more likely).
That does not make any sense. There are entire classes of XML parser that cannot implement getElementByID, such as streaming parsers. getElementByID is specified as part of the Document Object Model (DOM), not as part of XML. I don't think `id` even has a special meaning in XML.

Aha! Criminals don't deserve rights, that makes sense. Only law-abiding citizens do. Now, how do we tell the two apart? Well, we'll just watch everybody to see if they're a criminal or if they're not. But how do we know if we can watch somebody (and infringe on their right to privacy, if they're a law-abiding citizen) if we don't know whether they're a criminal or not? Hmmm....

Some people would say bitcoins are impossible to "own" and it's hard to argue against that (and that makes the concepts of "investing in bitcoin", "protecting your wealth", "bitcoin as store of value" moot).

You cannot prevent access to "your" bitcoins and they're by definition copied to computers all over world as that's how bitcoin works. Once you willingly put your digital property on the internet it's hard to argue it's your property that you meant to protect.

The FBI can't see what you searched for without a warrant. They can find out that somebody searched for dcleaks, but they can't find who searched for dcleaks unless they have a warrant for the specific user. This isn't my worst nightmare, not even close.
>In one of Lady Jo’s many anecdotes about Lady Jang, she describes how the noblewoman would look down at the village during dinnertime, to see which homes did not have smoke rising from the kitchen, meaning the household had no rice to cook. She would then invite families in need to work on her land so she could feed them. “Even the term ‘superwoman’ is not enough to describe Grandma Jang,” Lady Jo says.

I'm extremely confused by this take. Nobles have an obligation to not let their cattle starve to death. This excerpt makes it sound like she's being charitable by letting her peasants plant, grow, and harvest the food that is then used to compensate them for their labor.
No worries. I'm biased in favor of the Atlantic, so that's why it wasn't clearer to me.

My original gripe about your post is moot, anyways, since the comments did not, in fact, fill up with culture war nonsense.

He did get some compensation:

cheap·en

verb

reduce the price of.

synonyms: reduce, lower, lower in price, cut, mark down, discount, depreciate, devalue, depress, put down, keep down, slash, axe

So words cost money now? News to me.
>Wealth creation isn't zero-sum, just because someone builds a business and creates wealth doesn't mean they're taking it from others. We want a society where people are incentivized to create and grow wealth as much as they can (within bounds for environment protection and human rights), not just to some arbitrary cap before it gets taken by the government.

You're right that wealth creation isn't zero sum, but studies make this point a bit more nuanced than your argument would suggest.

Historical analysis of growth appears to indicate that equality and growth in America have been largely correlated on a decade by decade basis until the last 20-30 years. It was only in the most recent cycle of international growth that this link appears to have been broken.

So it's not simple enough to pretend that pro-wealth and pro-growth policies are one and the same; the opposite appears to have been the case until very recently.
>Because many on HN know and consciously recognize the facts here, my question would be: how do you all cope with surveillance?

I also had this "I've nothing to hide instance" - not that I don't have my own nudes on my phone/Google drive/WhatsApp/telegram but because I know there are very corrupt people whoes greed knows no limit.

Surveillance is obviously going to harm my privacy but I am prepared to give it away for greater good atleast the terrorists and other corrupt government officials will not be able to hide behind the privacy which commoners have demanded for themselves.
Sole sourcing requires very strict guidelines though. You have to justify why that specific vendor is the exclusive one that can meet your needs and that the end result of the bid process would end up leading to them. A sole source contract for JEDI would never have been acceptable. Its way too large, you have to compete it.
I find Twitter borderline unusable, and looking just now I can't find an RSS or similar way to receive his posts, so there's too much pain in following his Twitter feed for me. Alternative solutions would be welcomed.

The chronology of this subthread goes:

1) You claimed that COVID-19 is 10x more likely to kill an under-40-year-old than the flu. To me, having read many scientific papers (they are my primary source of information about the current pandemic), and also observing the world around me in several countries both in Asia and Europe (admittedly not the US), with a variety of approaches to the pandemic, including regular conversations with frontline medical staff due to my work, this appears to be a fantastical claim.

2) You provided an image of a graph as evidence, with only vague indication of the source data, making it virtually impossible to verify.

3) I asked for a more compelling source to back up what I perceive to be a fantastical claim.

4) You responded by pivoting to US politics (which I know very little about and don't consider particularly relevant to the topic at hand) and ignored my request for more evidence.

Edit: I have only just noticed that the poster of the graph and the you are not one and the same person. I apologise for making that assumption. While it was thus not a "pivot", I still think the US politics angle is ad hominem.
That's in your emails. Every email service provider has those records.
The US intelligence community agencies can access the data directly from Google via PRISM without a warrant, correlate it with their stored XKeyscore/MARINA data, and provide that to the FBI for parallel construction.

If you read a number of federal search warrant applications, you will see how flimsy and inaccurate they often are. Judges aren’t in the habit of saying no to the FBI very often.
Mining pools aren't inside the protocol. They collude outside the protocol.
> A password hash is a representation of your password that can't be reversed, but the original password may still be determined if someone hashes it again and gets the same result.

I love workshopping copy!

How about:

To mitigate events like this, we only store a scrambled version of your password. Though your actual password can’t be simply unscrambled from the leaked data, it is possible it could be deduced by a guess and check process - especially if you are using a weak or common password.
That's just a random rant.

It doesn't make any sense to open source everything.

It's like saying let's set up laws to ban any licenses except open source. Why? Because you think or feel this or that?

People should do what they want as long as they don't violate the rights of others. Who gives a crap what licenses they use as parties in consensual private transactions. Mind your own business.
Although there are a tremendous number of borrowings out of Chinese into both languages, there aren't many structural similarities between Chinese and Korean or Chinese and Japanese.

For example, Chinese has no system of verb conjugation, whereas Korean and Japanese both do, conjugating for the past and present, among other aspects. Chinese also does not have a system of adjective inflection, whereas Korean and Japanese do. Adjectives in these languages inflect to indicate speech level as well as to indicate tense (which is to say, adjectives have a "past form", kind of like verbs).

There are many other structural differences of note.

Beware of arguments based on things we don't know, technically "argument from ignorance". That we don't know which one they might have split from is no reason to believe that this is actually happened! What we don't know didn't happen can't go in place of what we do know did happen.

Yes, the Quest is better, that can't be denied, but I don't think it's head-and-shoulders better.

I suspect, given what I know from these parts (England), that women in East Asia had few opportunities to express themselves in any form, let alone a book that comes down through the centuries to today.

Although for Korea, you need to understand that women had much better treatment in the Goryeo Dynasty than in the Joseon Dynasty (which came after it, and is perhaps the most well-known because of its proximity to modern Korea and the cultural effects it has on today). Women had equal inheritance rights with men, and brothers/sisters had almost equal status within families. It is the Confucian ideals that came with the leaders of the Joseon dynasty that kinda ruined all this. This will probably blow your mind: women had more inheritance rights in the 10th century than in 1990 (until, the laws were amended in 1991)
