Many of us think that that freer markets do buoy up the poorer, I think Schumpeter put it well:

>"Electric lighting is no great boon to anyone who has money enough to buy a sufficient number of candles and to pay servants to attend them. It is the cheap cloth, the cheap cotton and rayon fabric, boots, motorcars and so on that are the typical achievements of capitalist production, and not as a rule improvements that would mean much to a rich man. Queen Elizabeth owned silk stockings. The capitalist achievement does not typically consist in providing more silk stockings for queens but in bringing them within the reach of factory girls in return for steadily decreasing amounts of effort."

Exactly. This article doesn't even take the latest beta into account, let alone the GM.

I've looked at that game hoping it would be like a more polished space engineers, but a major dealbreaker for me is the combat mechanics. the rpg combat model and the lack of player-made weapons seems like a missed opportunity when you have voxels and a physics simulation. I guess I can see why they did this. allowing players to create arbitrary weapons out of physics props systems could cause a lot of balance problems for an mmo. not everyone is willing to program their own missile guidance system. unfortunate though, one of my favorite parts of space engineers is designing complicated weapons and enjoying the chaos that ensues.
Isn't it in the vanilla game, though?
You can still give a name to the interface. However, interfaces apply to modules, not to types. In Ocaml you'd say "this module implements the Comparable interface" while in an OO languague you'd say "this type is a subtype of Comparable". Sorry for the confusion.

> The US created the Taliban to fight the Russians,

This is false. The US created (or funded, armed, and strengthened, whatever) the Mujahedeen to fight the Russians. I think most of the warring groups that were fighting for control after the Russians left trace back the Mujahedeen in some way, there's nothing special about the Taliban in that regard.

> Well The Playbook was used by members of the Taliban to create ISIS

ISIS wasn't created by members of the Taliban, it grew out of an unrelated Iraqi islamist opposition group (the connection it had with the Taliban was distant; the Taliban and al-Qaeda had a deep relationship for a while, and later the group that became ISIS spent a while branded as an al-Qaeda affiliate.)

Here are all the differences between the M1 Air and M1 Pro, from [1]:

Brighter screen (500 nits vs. 400)
Bigger battery (58 watt-hours vs. 50)
Fan (increasing thermal headroom)
Better speakers and microphones
Touch Bar
0.2 pounds of weight (3.0 pounds vs. 2.8 — not much)

The SoC is the same (although the entry-level Air gets 7-core GPUs, that’s probably chip binning). The screen is the same (Retina, P3 color gamut), both have 2 USB-C ports, both have a fingerprint reader.

Point. It's easy to assume that the alternative to bad_job is better_job, when in fact it's no_job.

It's good to fight for better working conditions for all, but not without remembering the lowest-end of the wage ladder.

(Which isn't to be interpreted as an argument against minimum wage increases, but rather that there needs to be an on-ramp for those who didn't grow up with privilege)
Workers KV is still better in many use cases. Durable Objects are the right choice when you need strong consistency. KV is the right choice when you want world-wide low latency access to the same data. Note that these two advantages are fundamentally opposed; it is physically impossible to simultaneously have strong consistency and worldwide low-latency access to a single piece of data. So, this will always be a trade-off.

Note that you could build KV on top of Durable Objects, by implementing your own caching and replication in application logic running in Durable Objects. On the other hand, you can't implement Durable Objects on top of KV; once you've lost strong consistency, it's hard (impossible?) to get it back. So in that sense, Durable Objects are "strictly superior". But in a practical sense, you probably don't really want to do the work to implement your own KV store on top of Durable Objects; it's probably better to just use KV.
You're probably right. I've been reading HN for 10+ years now and just assume it's still the best location for hackers.

Or using an electronics analogy, text is wire and objects are connectors.

Sometimes all you need is to temporarily connect things together, the environment is benign, and your requirements are not demanding.

But Mouser.com shows over 2 000 000 entries (over 390 000 datasheets) in "Connectors". High current, high voltage, high frequency, environmental extremes, safety requirements, ...

There are all sorts of situations where crimping wires together won't do the job. Same with text. By the same token, there are all sorts of situations where text will do the job, but people are tempted to over-engineer things.

You realize this goes both ways. There are tons and tons of election irregularities. The presidential legal team has several lawsuits that are going forward and recounts going forward. There are literally tens of thousands of dead people who have voted in areas with very small margins.

So your statement ... you're making a truth. You're saying what you want it to be, even though there is tons and tons of evidence against that point (that the main stream media is intentionally ignoring and refusing to cover).

It goes both ways and our social psyche is now fragmented.

People are rightly downvoting and flagging garden-variety political flamewar posts because they're off topic here.

Australia doesn’t have rolling lockdowns “as the virus spreads”. It does have a law-abiding population, geographic isolation and luck.

In most states, life is almost normal, and has been for months. In New South Wales, for political reasons, they aren’t going all-out against Covid, but even there, they’ve managed to control the virus through effective contact tracing.

Victoria, which became the worst affected state because of the second wave (from foreign arrivals), seems to have recovered well after a stringent lockdown, and is on track for full reopening.

Ultimately, Eurasia is probably too interconnected, and the US is too individualistic to make a dent in Covid, but Australia is not a good example of failed lockdowns, since lockdowns actually worked extremely well there.
Given 20 years difference and the known reasons why the EV1 leases were ended on time, it doesn’t really seem relevant to compare to Bolts that have been sold to customers.
I think I'd agree, especially with regards to the article's Step 3.

Admitting fault can open one to liability (sometimes legally). Although perhaps it depends on how one defines a mistake versus, say, an outright fault that people could find morally wrong.

An example that's not perfect (and I'm not arguing/defending one way or another) is Louis CK with the #metoo movement.

It seemed to me that his response was sincere and correct on the personal level. He acknowledged those he'd wronged, made clear the victims were in the right, apologized, and expressed a desire to improve his behavior. For all that, he was demonized.

To some extent, it felt like people were saying: "My god, you admitted it. You're worse than Harvey Weinstein - at least he had the decency to deny his actions."
I'll admit it's not exactly a straightforward comparison. And it's on each of us to weigh the costs and likelihood of becoming ill versus big tech causing pain. I have my weighting, you have yours.

On my scale, between their various meats, the pollutants they use, and the various spills (plenty listed in the article and online) I'd come down harder on Cargill than tech.

It's been a while since I've used macOS but its firewall is one of the worst I've ever used, it might as well not even exist. It lets everything through by default, prevents you from restricting Apple software and doesn't include any kind of cafe mode for hotels and airports so everyone's devices are always visible and communicating.
I think lockdowns have driven a high-level of interest in this type of technology, which is why I was surprised to see TC being shutdown.

I've never tried IDA Pro's decompiler, but my most recent experience with the Ghidra decompiler had me going back to my tried-and-true hand decompilation steps. (Admittedly, the function in question had a switch statement that had sparse and dense cases (with holes in the dense block!), which is definitely going to do a decent job of confusing native decompilers).
And we know with absolute certainly that fraud is occurring at scale and rarely prosecuted, so it doesn't follow that illegality results in absense of activity.

If you've tried hosting a simple HTML file, be it for sharing with someone or just for the kicks. You know it's a time consuming task. There are some solutions out there but requires registration, or is just tedious and some are on the way of becoming a great experience but not yet there. At least for me, none of the existing solutions worked, and I had a very specific usecase as well!

So I was out setting up custom error pages on Cloudflare. If you've used their service and have setup custom erorr pages, you know they require a URL where your template is hosted, and won't accept the HTML as is. And that's where my journey started, after searching around and trying to use some of the services, finally I hosted it as a Github page. For me it turned out to be a time consuming endeavour and I didn't think it was worth it, and thus HTMLHost.live!

I think we are considering the situation where a mistake was made.

In both situations, apology wouldn't solve anything.

Another example is the 1920 pandemic, where the weirdly high mortality in young adults prompted theories that the dominant strains of influenza changed around 1890, and people born after that would be naive for H1N1. There've been some interesting calls for tailoring seasonal flu vaccines not just for currently or expected circulating strains, but for the age of the recipient.

I remember when people said that about Falcon Heavy and people were defending SLS by saying 'Falcon Heavy is not real, SLS is real and exists'. 2017 was a simpler time.

You don't need SLS for a moon program, Starship or not. Its a major waste of money and only needed because the whole architecture was designed to need it. It makes neither economic, nor infrastructural sense considering the rest of the infrastructure and American space industry.

Starship will very likely fly, even at 100x over its target price, its a bargain. Putting in 30+ billion into a project, even if we assume complete 100% success from now on, will not succeed in the mission 'going to the moon and staying'. At a same-time invest basically 0 in a system that could literally revolutionize human space travel, is beyond nonsensical.

I would bet a fair amount of money on Starship transporting humans before SLS. SLS Core stage just spent almost a year preparing for a single static fire test, and has already fallen behind again.
Yes, I've looked at all the pictures in the author's story. And it never occurred to me to assume those are pictures of a ghetto the author lives in, as implied by the words "the real solution to the author's angst is to go study the field more broadly and get out of whatever ghetto they are living in" (emphasis mine).

But after I read your comment, I went back to the story and did a Google image search for a few (but not all) of those pictures. And guess what? They all come from other sources.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not like I was looking for hostility. I was reading the comment and nodding along and then the hostility came out of nowhere and smacked me in the face.

there's a gif that illustrates the issue in the linked article.

but belts, like any other entity in factorio, have their orientation set before they are placed. so if you have an up belt and you click and drag left-to-right, you get a long line of parallel belts that don't connect. this is useful when you're trying to create a parallel bus, but very annoying when you just wanted to make a long belt.

the new behavior is that the game will ignore any mouse movement that's perpendicular to the direction of the belt being placed.
The biggest mistake we have been making is in thinking we can exploit the land and plants without also exploiting the rest of the food chain. Those large fields of grain exist only because virtually nothing else lives there, trying to eat it. That's not even exploitation really, it's genocide. Suicidal genocide.

We remove the entire food web and then essentially grow crops hydroponically (all nutrients provided externally, the main value of the substrate is in supporting the plant structurally and not being particularly biologically active). Losing the biodiversity is a crime, but the biggest waste is in losing all of the services that food web provides, from aeration to pest control to fertilizer, then burning fossil fuels by the supertanker-full to emulate them.

Currently we are the only apex predator we will tolerate, so whatever we put back together underneath us needs to be something we know how to work with (you don't have to eat herd animals to get them to behave like a herd, but they need to believe you will).

> We don't need to be opportunistic now.

I struggled with which parts of your reply to call out directly. Thought about not doing it at all, but this statement is, after a fashion, the fulcrum of an extremely important disagreement. We need to do this most of all. We've become intellectually, emotionally, and thus ethically divorced from the source of our food. It's a big part of why people are so cavalier about all of the sins you've stated and most you've inferred. Eating locally and seasonally is unequivocally 'opportunistic' eating, and one of the few ways we know of getting people to think about the food they eat. Properly think, not merely react to being lectured at by the same people you're parroting. Shame never works, but it very much isn't going to work here, and the stakes are far too high to waste time on people who don't understand this.

Those Chilean strawberries aren't just a carbon footprint problem. They are poster children to a system of magic, detached thinking about food, and a complete disregard for nature and our place - no, membership - in it. If you have kids, get them excited about foods in the season that Nature usually makes them available. For me, I started with mandarin oranges. "Oh November is almost here. You know what that means? SATSUMAS!" Build from there. Teaching is a great opportunity to learn things yourself.

Why exactly do you think the US has a dozen carriers?
Well, that depends on a situation. If you're in an environment where people are united by a common goal and assume good faith, then admitting you done goofed up (when you did) is the best way - everybody knows you realized your mistake and will try to do better, and people can move on - and usually will be glad to offer you to help fixing it. And they'd know they can count on you to own up to your mistakes - so they'd be ready to listen if you say something isn't a mistake.

If you are in a "cancel culture" situation, then people that surround you are not you friends, and they do not have common goals with you. You can not win. Best thing is to get out of that situation ASAP, if you can not - minimize your losses in any way you can. And continue looking to get out of this situation, because you can not win, and you will surely lose sooner or later. Try to still be kind to others - you won't fix the broken culture, but at least you can have a little island of non-awfulness around you.
Sorry I went on a tangent that I thought was more-relevant to what is happening in the world.

I am open to the possibility that it may be acceptable, under some conditions, to consume animal flesh. As you are trying to point out, I think, it's not the act of consumption that is problematic, but the process of getting the animal flesh to your mouth. My biggest problem with the current system is the welfare of animals, not the fact that someone is chewing this bit of matter rather than that piece of matter.

I am trying to point out that the scenario of treating animals well while desiring to consume them is counter to maintaining a system of care. There is also something problematic with ending a life that is full of enjoyment short, just so that some other individuals have a meal that is slightly different than another (similarly-tasty) meal.

I hope all these discussions will become obsolete / moot when meat alternatives become more-available and cheaper.

We on HN likely have more resources to choose; I hope that more of us choose less meat.

That makes no sense either. My 1 year old dog is definitely not a 31 year old adult as far as behavior goes (incidentally, I am myself ~31,).

Seems like it, but typeclasses are inherently anti-modular,
they provide a globally coherent unique instance.
consider the Ord typeclass giving a single ordering for a specific type. To reverse the order you need to create a new type with a new instance of ord which reverses it.

Where in a module system its perfectly fine to have multiple instances of Ord for a given type. One gives global consistency where the other gives local consistency.
