> The rules change frequently and are badly communicated

Same in France. I really wonder who takes decisions and on what basis. Some rules are ridiculous. Right now, there's a curfew in most of the country. There are exceptions though. For instance, you need to sign a document if you want to walk your dog after 9 pm (the document attests you're indeed walking your dog). And of course, you have to wear a mask, even though the streets are empty.
Holy moly! This is pretty amazing. I was playing with terrarium the other day and it looks pretty cool https://wasm.fastlylabs.com/
Up to you, but the benefit of the bittorrent protocol is downloading pieces from multiple peers at once, and then seeding that content back out to support other peers accomplishing the first part. That makes its use in a two peer, download-only, setup kind of weird.

I could imagine that being a good setup if your home machine is already managing linux isos, and you want to download ... uh, your own linux iso ... from a VPS (i.e. a concession to the existing process, and not the BT protocol itself)
I don't think cloudflare does WASM @ edge no?
If Twitter were held liable for user's posts they would probably ban all right-wing content since that's were most of the libel I see comes from. For example reddit tried hard to keep /r/TheDonald around but it turned out to be an impossible task. Especially in online right-wing youth culture there's a strong anything goes, ends justify the means, trolling for the lulz, strain where they find it more acceptable to spread deliberate misinformation.
Pretty cool app and idea. I always struggle remembering little details before meetings and just in general about people..

Small typo in one of your images ( exec.png ) reads: "lastest notes about Marvin"
> They were hostile and cult-ish.

Hostile to whom? People who deny the existence of systemic and institutional racism?

> As a non-white person I would have been extremely uncomfortable sitting through that.

Why? I ask because I'm also a non-white person who has sat through just those kind of discussions. They weren't "comfortable" - no introspective discussion of racism is - but they certainly were not hostile because the participants came with charity and a desire to understand themselves and the context better.

The tone of any conversation, defined by the attitudes of those who participate, has a great deal to do with the way people experience it.
I miss when ZH was an investment blog.
This works for the basics of RISC-V assembly, but fails for a lot of assembly code that GCC accepts. It should be fine for most human written code, but machine generated code is also common.

Most notably, labels starting with a period are not accepted, but gcc generated assembly has tons of labels like that.
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. I've lived in Chicago for almost 10 years and this is exactly correct.
> I would expect a company with more diverse leadership to outperform, because they are able to access more talent.

You implicitly assume that the performance of a leadership team is the sum of the talent of its members.

I'm sure that's important, but the more direct variable to study (somehow) would be how similar people's backgrounds are. If they are all precisely alike, then they'll miss perspectives and be blindsided. But if they are totally different, then they will struggle to communicate their assumptions, and also won't perform well.

So I'd expect honest research to show a U-shaped loss curve. Or more realistically, to have gathered cautionary tales of companies that fell apart for both of these reasons.
I think that's observation is fair, but I would also argue it is neither unusual (e.g. Python doesn't have one and it's probably one of the most popular language on the planet at the moment) nor a bad thing. In programming language design, you need to implement things and try out how they feel to use in practice. Programming language design is mostly about interfacing with humans, not computers. Something that has a beatiful proof on paper, but feels clumsy to use is bad programming language design. Eventually one of the efforts to make Julia an ISO standard will win and we'll be doing language design by committee and have a formal specification, but until then we'll try to build the best language we can ;).
Is there — as Julian Baumgartner would say — an “archival-grade reversible isolation-layer varnish” that could be applied in place of poly sealant? Silicone, maybe?
Wait what? You are telling me the ESP's are actually FPGA's with a preconfigured core?
I'm replying here as a total independant, because you asked for a response :)

Honestly, a logo for a project is both a huge thing, and a massive timesink. Your responses read that you just want to take over choosing the logo ("I'm happy to take on the responsibility of organizing it."). Then you seem to want to make this a whole issue encapsulating the problems with wasm (I am of course just reading one issue, not the many related problems)
That’s really interesting, thanks!

That's what pushed me away in 2015. Someone said it was fixed in... 2018 I think, but I tried and it wasn't. It still isn't? Ouch.

If it comes to pushing binaries into the package manager, that's what it comes to, but waiting for a minute for the graphing library to load just isn't OK in this day and age.

What I have learned in 5 days working with Kubernetes
Control.

Intellectual property law is about controlling what you can see, and do, with your own eyes, ears, and hardware.

If you stream a video on YouTube, YouTube can arbitrarily take it away from you whenever they want. If you download a video from YouTube, it's yours to keep. Tools like youtube-dl take away the power YouTube has over you, and that's an unacceptable loss to the ownership class even if they suffer no financial losses.
As an example, this app (Apache Helix) implements MBeans, which means that you can connect to the running application to observe its state and manage it. You can do this with the standard JMX toolchain, without having to implement anything else in the app other than the MBeans.

I realize, writing this, that for someone unfamiliar with the ecosystem this sounds very abstract, but MBeans (managed beans) are simply counters, operations, stats, faults that the app makes available to other apps/users via a standard protocol.
Some examples:

* Exceptions for error handling

* Streams (map/filter/etc.)

* Generics

* Superior collections library (Set, ConcurrentHashMap, LinkedHashMap, etc.)

* Records

* Enums

* Upcoming feature: pattern matching
> Sexpr makes expressions easier for computers to parse. That is all there is to it.

I would _strenuously_ disagree with that claim, but as previously stated I find the explanation of why I disagree to be surprisingly difficult to articulate. Nonetheless, I find that in practice sexprs are an incredibly effective tool for the task of programming as a whole.
Ah, the statefulness foot-gun. It'll solve all your problems... if your problem is having feet!

Ok, that's a little mean, there's nothing quite as convenient and simple as a REPL or notebook for ad-hoc caching, but sometimes you need the opposite and the language really needs to support that.
I don't follow the argument that the procedural invalidity makes Github more culpable.

In a normal, procedurally valid, DMCA the only harm to the host for not following the procedure is that they lose the safe harbor.

In this case because it isn't a question of infringement there isn't a safe harbor at all.

In either case a company can choose to take something down because it wants to reduce its exposure to litigation.

I'm disappointed that even after acquisition github has continued with the beyond-industry-standard level of aggressiveness with takedowns. But I don't see how you conclude that the anti-circumvention complaint makes github more in the wrong for complying.
SunOS paper about shared libraries, 1987

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.37.9...

SunOS 4.0 lists "dynamic linking" as new feature, released 1988

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SunOS

AT&T System V Release 3 got shared libraries in 1986

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_V_Release_4#SVR3

While the first X11 release was in 1987, the fundamental architecture was designed already since 1984, and this architecture includes a heavyweight server that implements things that in most other window systems are done client-side.
My understanding is that because stimulus packages are good for the stock market. When hopes are up about a vaccine, the possibility of a stimulus drops, hence the market comes down.

I've only been following the market for about a year, but its a weird thing.
The whole aspect and shift in interest rates over the decades has been a major part in the whole housing market. You had high interest rates, people saved for a lifestyle. The shift to lower interest rates has changed all that and shifted towards a a lifestyle today on credit. That shift alone has had much impact upon society - some good, some bad and I'd learn towards the later in more areas than not, though that whole debate can be subjective.

So here we are today, with interest rate buffers mostly eaten up and QE left with no more room due to that, the next thing will be negative interest rates. How that will impact the whole housing market will be interesting.

But one other aspect about housing. Culture factors do come into play and some countries tend to rent and others tend to buy. Though would need a chart of countries and the rent/ownership to over time to get a better grasp upon that and not aware of anything that shows that at hand. Though a good insight into that at https://www.rentcafe.com/blog/rental-market/renting-landscap...

Though with the whole motivation to embrace the digital age with work from home, there will imho be a shift from buying into large cities for the commute and a shift into the countrysides. But then, the best data for that would probably be Amazon and a heatmap of deliveries over time - which would be fascinating to see.

But signs to look for would be office towers owners in cities applying for planning permission to convert into residential. Which will be needed if the shift is to save some of the many many city based food outlets/resturants/arts etc that need the volume of people that cities offer and without those numbers, will domino.

But many area's have been overdue a reality in prices, New york rental market is the next financial timebomb and all due to how finances are worked out, so if you can have high rent, you can value that place more and mortgage/finance accordingly. Indeed it gets to the stage that the legal finances mean that if you set a high rent, you have to charge that rent as no leeway to charge lower due to the financial contracts in-place and how financed. But many housing/building values have been riding the wave of financial hype as much as supply and demand. So COVID if anything, won't cause any issues, just speed them up and that in itself is the issue as a slow shift more palatable over an almost instant overnight shift.

Though even with COVID, the human population still grows and grows, so always that aspect for the whole supply and demand factor.
Lenovo now offers the X1 Carbon and some other models with Linux, either Fedora or Ubuntu, out of the box. Maybe the author was unaware or ordered shortly before that became available.

Well done.

The best study that I know of on student evaluation of teaching was done at the Air Force Academy, where they assign students to teachers at random. Bottom line is that student performance in later classes is negatively correlated with student evaluation of teaching.

There is a reason we don't just give people books and tell them to learn it themselves. Engaging, likable teachers help people learn. Swaying their sentiment with parlor tricks apparently helps gain favor, but the real question is, does this translate to them learning more?

Distributing a tool whose primary purpose is circumventing DRM is forbidden by the DMCA. The DMCA was signed long after the home-taping precedent, so that precedent doesn't really speak to what is and isn't allowed under the DMCA. Fair Use rights exist but if a law says "this isn't fair use", then it's not.

Not necessarily. It is true that most websites today are JavaScript heavy. However, they are server-side rendered more often than not. Mostly for performance reasons. Also, not all search engines are as good as Google at indexing dynamic JS websites, so it's better to serve pre-rendered HTML for that reason as well.

The Hardest CTF (Capture the Flag) for Web 3.0
These success stories don’t prove that it’s feasible to create a widely used social network, just that it’s possible. And that’s a pretty obvious statement, seeing that widely used social networks exist at all. What’s important is how many failures are there?

There’s no physical issue preventing competition like with power companies, but to a social media startup, getting enough users is a similarly hard challenge as constructing a new power grid.

And you’re not actually a social network until you reach some critical mass of users. The cost of entering the market is low as you point out, but that doesn’t imply that you can realistically compete. So I think it’s fair to call social networks a natural monopoly. Even if they don’t strictly fit the definition they’re still monopolies in practice.

The Martin Luther King quote that begins:
"I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate," should be read in full.

If you define a centrist as someone who finds the status quo a reasonable compromise,

and you recognise that the history of the United States (among others) and its status quo is infused with white supremacy,

then it's unsurprising that a self-declared "centrist" would often hold views that more closely align with the right-wing than the left.
You are comparing injury rates, while the report only compares murder rates.
Less information density = more time required to read the same amount of content = more "engagement". This is the exact same reason behind the algorithmic timeline: since you can't easily tell whether you've reached the end (up to where you left off last time), you keep scrolling more, thus more time spent and more opportunities for ads to show up.

This trend will continue until users revolt against this by refusing to use engagement-funded services in favor of service they actually pay for, so that the incentive is no longer to waste the user's time to generate engagement but to give the user what they want in the most efficient way possible in order to keep them paying for the product.
Some context from that thread I find important (I’m a bystander not involved in any way):

> We would need to work with a lawyer to determine the IP issues around this. It’s possible that just using the same policy as for the WebAssembly logo works, but I know that various organizations have grown more concerned about IP in this space since then.

> This is in no small part because your company, Wasmer, attempted to register “WebAssembly” and “Wasm” as trademarks. The USPTO rejected the application, but I don’t think we can assume that attempts to register a brandmark for a WASI logo would be similarly rejected.

This doesn’t seem to be a he said she said situation; gp had the chance to defend himself and all he could come up was a very weak “The trademark requests were driven by our lawyers” (and what came after that was even more shameless if you ask me): https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/issues/3#issuecomment-71...

Given that context, I’d say the gp comment (especially the “personal bias” part) is likely motivated smearing.

Bottom line: don’t make up your mind just because it’s the top comment of an HN thread, or because the discrimination/racism card is played (racism card isn’t played here, it’s in the linked GH issue). If you want to form an opinion, read the other side first.

> most probably in a large code base, you'll en up with 'unless', 'if-not' and depending on how creative others are probably also 'negat-if'.

In Clojure, "if-not" is part of clojure.core (the equivalent of java.lang in Java), so a decent programmer would almost certainly be familiar with it; and if not, it would be pointed out at a code review.

People use Lisp for a while, so the obvious simple ideas were probably already noticed and implemented.

With less frequent things, implementing the same thing twice under two different names is a problem that happens regardless of the language.
CORRECTION: I am mistaken. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html

Python is a pretty poor glue language, in my experience.

Calling C APIs from Python is not pleasant. This is how one
might import the libm "error function" from Julia:

const libm = "/lib64/libm.so.6"
erf(x) = @ccall libm.erf(x::Float64)::Float64

Python requires writing/compiling a separate dll written in C (see [^1]). Python extensions are (reasonably) fast, sure. But they are not pleasant at all to write.

> How many doctors would still do the job if they got paid a middle class salary?

Nearly all of them. The most common specialties do pay middle-class salaries.

I don't think a 30 year loan is really intended to last 30 years. At some point you will refinance, or overpay to get it paid quicker. The longer loan term gives you flexibility to not be forced to pay as much principle, but anyone taking a 30 year loan should have a plan to increase their income or something (or reduce their lifestyle) and knock some chunks out of that.

If you can "handle" it, and most people can't, maybe me included - it is logically better to have the money as an effective LOC in an offset than paid off the loan. That gives you more flexibility. (Unless you want to take out other loans, say for a business, then it might work against you).

In theory the best loan would be interest only. Assuming you have the discipline to do something better with that money you were going to pay back - and assuming you get as good a rate (which you wont). So in practice NO but if you have discipline and get a good rate, a loan that you are not forced to pay back (other than interest) is a good thing!

Hard for me to pick a favorite.

Lisps:

Clojure(Script) - Very productive language with a great ecosystem of libraries available. My favorite libraries are re-frame and cljfx.

Janet - Borrows from Clojure in terms of syntax. Super small package (1mb). Produces small, statically linked binaries. The ecosystem is in its infancy but I see it as having a lot of potential.

Games:

GDScript (for Godot) - A lot of people agonize over using C#, Rust, C++, when writing for Godot. I find GDScript to be very intuitive and productive though.

Embedded/Micro Controllers:

Forth - Makes an appearance on HN pretty regularly. I describe it as a backwards Lisp without parens. Being able to develop interactively on something like an Arduino Uno using FlashForth is lots of fun.
