I don't know Python, Go, or nodejs, but with regard to general purpose programming, you can look at some of the free tools and libraries on AdaIC (https://www.adaic.org/ada-resources/tools-libraries/). There is a man named Gautier, who actively develops a variety of tools (e.g. 3D gfx, Excel file producer, games, code editors, etc). Check out his blog page: https://gautiersblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Ada

In addition, I know for a fact that Rapita Systems (https://www.rapitasystems.com/) uses Ada a lot in their products.
> Is it really 64k then?

There are significantly more than 64k possible codepoints (the total codepoint space has about 1.1 million possible values) so why not? In baseX the "X" is the number of symbols in the encoded output e.g. base32 uses 32 separate output symbols and base64 uses 64.

The problem was finding 64k codepoints which are mapped, tweet-safe (e.g. not control characters), and which twitter only counts for 1.

It might be increasing injuries the same way helmets did when they were introduced during the first world war. All those head injuries would have been fatalities. Instead their wearers survived and their head injuries were recorded.
AMD would like to produce and sell mobile CPUs, which are a very important market for chip makers, and which rely very much on betting on the smallest possible node, to minimize power consumption.

I didn't say Google didn't care about security, just that they have shown almost no interest in static analysis, and have shown a clear preference for runtime mechanisms like sandboxing and garbage collection for memory safety. That's why I find it weird that you're bringing them up here as some sort of leader in C++ static analysis, they very much aren't and have been quite dismissive of related work like verification as well.

I'm also not sure what you mean by "exposing Rust in the userland SDK." Rust doesn't have a stable ABI, how would that even work? It's not like they're exposing system calls as C++ classes or anything like that, either. The choice of programming language for an operating system is, at least from the perspective of API design, mostly an implementation detail.
Was this on the article that was about the complicated nature of do helmets make people safe? For hints to people searching I remember it was something about drivers acting differently around people with helmets and non-helmeted cyclists (I don't think the article made hard assertions of what was safer, but boy did the comments. It definitely suggested you should wear one). What I do remember is that the comment section was a complete and utter shit show with people saying cyclists deserve to get hit by cars (but isn't that always true for comment sections including cyclists?)

I'd expect the compute flavour to expose the PCIe bus, so SATA or NVMe would be easily added as no USB3 chip hogging it. Indeed I'd say that is not only a given avenue, but the angle Mr Upton was hinting towards given the I/O side of things currently from the SOC.

Like many - pre Pi4, was wishing for a SATA port, but overall, if they did do some upgrade to the Pi4 in another B+ or 5 flavour - then I'd be more interested in a faster USB flavour, like 3.2 or USB-C. Reason being is that it would be more flexible and those who want SATA or NVMe would be able to tap into that. Certainly more flexible in usage and that does seem to be key.
Dutch feelings about bike helmets are close to American feelings about the second amendment.
Hmm I am not sure! To be honest, I have spent the time since posting my comment above googling for the post... but no luck yet.

The problem is, I think I myself might not have even commented in the thread, so it is hard to search for... anyway, I think it is unlikely to be you, because I wouldn't have laughed at a demand for evidence if it was about legislating a helmet mandate (sure better have real evidence in that case!) but it was more like "I crashed and hit my head on the curb, thank god I was wearing a helmet!").

(I myself mainly get around Tokyo on my VanMoof X2 ebike and almost never wear a helmet...)

You've motivated me to keep searching for the comment now, though... ;-)

I think, for QAnon, this is especially relevant. Some people feel that they have no way to make a significant contribution. Child abuse is significant, and there's enough real child abuse for this part of the theory to hide in.

Also QAnon is "fun." Q drops are puzzles, and followers have to "do the work" to figure them out. "Researching" the drops only requires you to sit in front of your computer and scroll blogs and social media, and listen to podcasts.

The treatment of AVX-512 as some sort of weird benchmarketing trick is probably well deserved (given Intel's misfires in this area) but I'm not sure it's 100% reasonable.

Anything that can be sped up with AVX2 can likely be further sped up with AVX-512, and some aspects of the ABI make it more likely that AVX-512 (especially in its ICL/TGL flavor) will be able to be more broadly applicable. Notably, masked operations and a reasonable scatter/gather implementation make it more likely that an algorithm can be rewritten as SIMD.

The clock license penalties with AVX-512 are also mitigated on ICL/TGL.

Don't get me wrong: I still think it's an uphill battle for Intel to get broader acceptance for AVX-512 (and they are their own worst enemy with many decisions, like fusing off everything beyond SSE4.2 on Celeron/Pentium branded products), and some (not all) of the workloads that are nice on AVX-512 are also pretty nice on GPGPU.

I suspect the lockdowns and such have led to a large amplification of our political divisions.
They seem to share the same goals and philosophy, and it looks like the authors have complementary skills: mrDimas' technical achievements are super impressive (rg3d already has a scene editor, its own UI kit and a working example game!!), while _cart's ability to create hype and foster a large community in no time is just stunning. I'd love to see those two join efforts somehow.
I don't know if you realise it or not but "PITA" is almost the perfect expression to use for networking equipment by the name of "Arris":

"
Jonathon Green, a British slang lexicographer who authored The Vulgar Tongue: Green's History of Slang, told me that his favorite rhyming slang word is "arris," which means ass, because it actually goes through more than one round of partially-dropped rhyming. "Arris," he said, is short for "Aristotle," which rhymes with "bottle," which itself is the first half of the phrase "bottles and glass," which rhymes with "ass." So in rhyming slang, "I'll put my foot up your arris" means "I'll put my foot up your ass"

No, no, I like HN, and have derived a great deal of value from it over the past 15 years or so (even made meatspace friends from it; the HN Tokyo meetup basically became my entire social life after I had kids).

That comment is one of my favorites because it was funny... it was "soooooo Hacker News". It might only have been so funny because I've spent so much time on HN over the years.

I don't really use any other websites like this (reddit or whatever). HN is a kind of unique thing for me.
Since you mentioned a 120 Hz display, I assume you’re talking about using the second generation Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro? A sibling comment pointed out the much cheaper price of the regular iPad (which only supports the first generation Apple Pencil) so I thought I should chime in to say that my experience with the first generation Pencil does not reflect yours. Writing is laggy and imprecise (I can write legibly at about half the size on paper), charging with a Lightning connector is extremely awkward, and it needs to be done almost daily because the battery drains continuously [1]. I‘m still a big fan of the iPad, but I gave up on the Pencil after two months and switched back to paper.

There is a difference between "real constants", like the value of pi, and "runtime constants or almost-constants", such as "liftoff time" in software that runs onboard a rocket going to space. While preparing for launch, the latter value may be changed, but once the vehicle is on its way, it becomes a constant until the end of mission.

It would be nice to protect such variable from modification, "lock its value" somehow.
The performance of DuckDB's predecessor, MonetDBLite, was/is stellar. DuckDB, when I tried in 6 months ago, was a bit behind in terms of csv parsing or aggregation by groups and didn't seem much faster than regular sqlite so I didn't really jump at it. Does anyone here know if the performance improved since then and how it compares to MonetDBLite?
Break your unhealthy relationships. Ie. find new team, boss, job before they tear you down. If you stay, find allies, go out in nature, learn to not give a f. It can take 1-2 weeks to wind down. Do it! You can find something physical, like swimming, jogging, exert your body and mind. At work, stop doing everything that doesn't have clear goals and expectations. Just wait and spend time on what you must do or direction that is for you. Make sure you've resolved what you have agreed to do, but nothing more!
"To encode one additional bit per code point, we need to double the number of code points we use from 65,536 to 131,072."

And why is that an issue?

The most that can happen is that there is no saving of the Baht or the Rand outside the taxation area of those currencies. Assuming they are fully floating.

In which case the central bank will be doing nothing other than offsetting the domestic savings in the currency of issue. Because sector balances have to balance.

The concept of "reserve" is utterly flawed. People hold balances of all sorts of currencies for very many reasons - largely working capital, but also for insurance and for prestige.
IMO, figures of authority have abused public trust to an excess.

Combined with the Internet, this has resulted in wide-spread distrust, which forms the basis for belief in false conspiracy theories.

The most easy to believe lies are those that are rooted in partial truth. Its too rich for politicans, elites, or social media giants to complain about conspiracy theories when they so regularly lie, cheat, or gain advantage behind firmly closed doors. The dissymmetry breeds mistrust.
I've been wondering how that kind of thing could be productized.

Like if take-off is the most energy intensive part, can you have a magnetically connected cable that detaches once it get pulled to full length? Of not, what is the problem and can we work around it?

Or auxiliary batteries that detach and return as parachute drones to be recharged for the next takeoff?

Similarly, hydrogen fueling stations in the middle of the ocean seem like an interesting way to decarbonise shipping.
I ran 5 USB drivers (4x USB3 and 1x USB2) of a powered USB3 hub attached to a RPi4 a few weeks back as was clearing up some drives and data juggling between them. Had that running for few days with no issues at all and was thrashed a few times with moves/copies across all the drives.

So indications are good, and the drives in this case was a WD SSD, 3x Toshiba bus powered drives and an ancient 320gb usb externally powered WD affair. So a but of a mix. Though I did have it plugged into a UPS, which like all things tech - kinda helps smooth out the random chaos of electricity and tech.

Eh? What on earth are you talking about? The morality of the various gay people I know is, not coincidentally, the morality of everyone else. If you're talking about BDSM then if it's consensual it's fine (and if not, it's a crime of violence). If you mean other than BDSM then I've no idea what.

"The contrarian dynamic" by dang, from around a month ago.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24215601

> The "contrarian dynamic" is that HN threads (and internet comments generally) are largely propelled by people making objections. Cunningham's Law touches on this [1].
The objections come in waves. In the earliest stage of a thread, they tend to be rapid negative reactions to the article. It's not that these are a community consensus, it's that they're the fastest reactions to feel, and the fastest comments to write—especially when the topic is provocative, when most of us are reacting from cache [2].

> Then a second wave of objections is generated by the first wave. Readers come to the thread, see the comment section dominated by those initial 'triggered' responses, and feel some version of surprised-shocked-dismayed at how the commenters all seem to be reacting in that way. This propels them to write defenses of the article, often carefully expressing more moderate or balanced views than the first wave—but they probably wouldn't have been motivated to post anything if there hadn't been the first wave of comments to object to!

> These second-wave comments tend to get more upvotes, perhaps because more people tend to share the more moderate view, but also because those comments tend to be more reflective [2] and therefore better written.

> This explains why the top comment in a thread so often begins (ironically) with "Wow, I can't believe the comments here"—or from the current thread: "All of these comments make me think HN has never interacted with a 5 year old" [3]—followed by a defense of whatever those objections were objecting to. Eventually you get objections to the objections to the objections—which reminds me of the line "My complication had a little complication" from Brazil [4], and also epicycles.
Mayflower anniversary: The replica ship that never set sail
A base Linux system has relatively few services (just SSH in simple distributions) so to begin targeting Linux the same way you’d have to decide to go after RHEL or something

Not sure why it shuold be REHL, there are linux counterparts for most bundled software you mention so a comparison against a base linux system + e.g. samba/vnc/nginx/... still seems fair. All of those have had (sometimes severe i.e. root escalation) vulnerabilities in the past, but answering the question whether it's 'as frequent' is pretty hard to answer. I would also guess towards 'no' though.
I avoided it from the start. I never checked if it was available for Linux, but in general I prefer software that is free from the start.

Sort of a "Show your work" kind of attitude. Theoretically I could assemble my software stack (almost) without any external licenses or closed source code.
Brave New World (circa 1930) is set in the twenty-sixth century, and despite things having moved a great deal in the direction given by the delta (1920s xor 1900s), the people living in it (although no longer viviparous) are still meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly, just as they were in Marcus Aurelius' second century.

What is the natural mathematical abstraction to describe object oriented programming? I always feel object oriented languages are some sort of poor approximation to some sophisticated functional programming concepts (lenses, comonads, etc), or havent realised what they are actually describing.

That is not the comment I was referring to — sounds reasonable to me!

(The comment I am looking for also started rather emotionally, something like "Ugh I hate — HATE — when people... (make assumptions like this without evidence, something something)". And then possibly invoked the names of a couple of logical fallacies.

>Getting rejected any number times means nothing at all. People interviewing candidates are no better than the candidate, and in many cases not even as good as the candidate. Even if they were better it wouldn't matter, 1 hour is barely any time to judge any one and any decision you are likely to make even a 'yes' decision will never be 100% right. Even a hire decision doesn't mean you are awesome.

>Plus a person measuring their worth based on job interviews is totally wrong. We like to think that people wish to hire people at least as good as them, if not better. In reality no one likes people better than them, and they'd rather not have some one better than them at work. They will be hiring competition responsible for them not getting raises, bonuses, promotions or RSU's. You are more likely to get rejected being good than bad.

I am sure this happens, but it hasn't matched my general experience. I've been on both sides of the interviewing process, and have met people with better skills on the other side.

I also haven't worked any place so dysfunctional that skilled candidates' applications were torpedoed because they were potential competition.
