We've banned this account for using HN primarily (exclusively? I skimmed your history and didn't see a single exception) for political and ideological battle. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for, so we ban accounts that do it regardless of which side they're battling for.

You've also broken the site guidelines frequently with snark and attacks on other users. Not cool.

I think you're underestimating the amount of latency that the human ear can detect. If the audio is as little as 10 ms out of sync, either way, someone will notice that.

Lessons learned from building my own crypto trading bot
Nobody asks you not to talk about American laws. We outsiders love to do that. Many of us know American criminal law better than our own, just because of television shows and lack of experience with criminal law in our real lives.

And incidentally, the FAQ don't mention the United States, either.

But what's really obvious on this site is that many Americans cannot discuss other choices.

I theorize it is because America is so big and powerful and there isn't a visible friendly society with different cultural views in the neighborhood that matters. Large societies that matter are far away, and rivals at best, enemies at worst.

There is a strong sense of "the American way is obviously the best, and everybody who disagrees or has been socialized on different norms is an idiot and must be destroyed".

Every "by the way, in X we don't have Y, we do Z" on this site is a recipe for confrontation.

It's a minority of posters, I'm sure, but they downvote and flag just about everything that isn't "America's way or the highway".

Nobody asks them to declare the Finnish, German or Japanese way to be better. But they simply cannot accept that other societies might be happy with other choices.

And those threads are really garbage.
If your beliefs are telling you to kill people, including yourself, take a step back. Maybe two. In fact, run as far and fast as you can, until you can cover your beliefs with your thumb. Find a room and sit down for a long while. Longer than you think you need to...however long you ponder, it’s shorter than death.

Ask yourself whether your beliefs are making you more kind and loving to everyone you meet, including yourself. There is no reason why they can’t. If they are aren’t, well, I think you should tell your beliefs your soul and spirit need more space and you want to start seeing other beliefs. It’s not them, the beliefs, it’s you. Whatever makes it easy on them.

But try not to die. At the end of the day, beliefs are just a few neurons with an overinflated sense of their own importance. Causes can be noble, or they can just be some personal egos scribbled on a poster. You are more than your brain and those scribbles, and the rest gets a vote too.

This assumes, of course, meaningful freedom to choose.

> In my view Glenn has integrity. That means something. I don't doubt he would have written a similar story if the facts related to any powerful politician. Trump, McConnell, Pelosi, anyone. Do you?

I've read Greenwald since his pre-Snowden Salon days. Yes, I absolutely doubt that he would have written such an article against Trump.

As can be seen on his Twitter, he will occasionally post something mildly critical of Trump so that he can later point to it repeatedly as cover, with the rest of his US political energies devoted to ignoring and downplaying the administration's actions while attacking Democrats and liberals.
Well, I don't know about how fast electrons travel in copper, but I imagine it's well below c. In optical fiber, the speed of light is about 2/3 c. So, you should probably at least multiply your numbers by 2/3. In that case, you can only get 4/9 of the way between LA and NYC.
I agree with you that this is p-hacking, but this makes me curious. Could p-hacking be used in a positive way to find obscure correlations which can be used to generate novel hypotheses which can then be replicated/tested independently?

It's a good thing that FIFO isn't the only Memory & Cache Replacement Strategy [0]. Way back when, I wrote a Cache Simulator in HTML+JS [1][2]. Hasn't aged well; you used to be able to drag and drop a list a file containing a list of addresses. I ought to clean it up and make it functional again.

I've sometimes wondered if a Cache Line Size-aware Strategy could significantly improve Garbage Collection. I've mentally toyed with the idea of a Linked List of bitmaps of Arenas (made of Cache Line Sized chunks) with a Reference Counter bitlist could improve GC performance. It could even be extended for use in non-OOP languages with the GCC RAII Cleanup Extension [3], even for primitive and other non-OOP types.

I am working on building a free / open source tax filing website focused on filling the Federal 1040 form https://ustaxes.org/w2employerinfo

I am building the site to be client-side only using React, Redux-persist, and Netlify to respect user privacy, make the site a little faster, and save on hosting costs. I am filling the federal 1040 form using pdf-lib, which is the only javascript pdf filling npm package that I could find that even remotely works.

The site is still very much a work in progress but if there are others who want to work on this with me or suggest improvements that would be appreciated! The GitHub repo for the website is

This is a point worth exploring. There is a part of the world, the Eurasian steppe, where folks still practice nomadic herding precisely because the geography discourages trying to defend stationary encampments. Today, cities dot the North American plains, another region traditionally inhabited by nomads; this is because of strong social institutions. If those social institutions fail, then the nomadic way of life will become preferable again.

I wonder whether these bunker-builders would get more bang for their buck if they were to build inside a city instead of outside. Investments in infrastructure around them could improve security at a structural level. (A distant relative thread notes that bunkers could not possibly have full hospital service.) A castle does not have just a keep, but an entire town inside its walls, or else it could not support its keep.
> HN is an American website hosted on American servers catering to Americans

That's not accurate. HN is an American website hosted on American servers catering to everybody. The only prerequisite is intellectual curiosity: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Intellectual curiosity exists everywhere, HN's userbase is 50% outside the US, and at least 90% outside of Silicon Valley. That's important for people to understand.

Thanks for writing this. I made the exact same point in another subthread, that 10ms is enough to mess with your brain. My only experience of it is when the audio and the visual out of sync by only about 10ms while watching something (I forget what). I can't watch anything like that for any real length of time, and I'm not even trying to play along.
I just typed 'news' into google(in Australia), and said commercial news sites weren't buried or hidden.

Pretty disappointing the distinction between directly linking to news articles on news sites, and the news sites themselves isn't made.

I wonder how efficient this would be for mass transit? One light rail line for short distances, heavy rail for longer ones and high speed rail for really long distance would be able to get you to every home in the country. Cities already grow a bit like this organically.
It does lead to gentrification, instant conflicts between newcomers and old residents, pushes up prices, etc.

Plus having that more money means one can invest a bit, and a generation later dad can give a big gift to help seed the kid's startup.
True, but the number of people who focus on non-indo-european languages is a lot smaller than people who focus on languages "closer to home". Probably just comes down to numbers.

It would be interesting to see how culture impacts story/book. Russia seems to have so many amazing works of literature, but is that a function of their culture, or because of the intense focus the USA/UK put on Russia and learning their mindset during the Cold War, or because of something else?

Abito Da Ballo Moderno Seducente Con Piega Cappellino in Pizzo – Gillne.it
I am building a macOS kanban board manager, as I am sick of Trello's lack of native app and lack of native, supported apps with a great set of features. I want it to be as easiest to migrate (both in and out) and the most extendable experience for a Mac user (I also consider features like plugins, but I guess Apple will throw my app out of the App Store with that feature release, so I'll do that when I'll reach some bigger audience via App Store).

I don't have any releases yet, because it's my first that huge app. Also I've never been digging that deep into AppKit framework, so I enjoy writing this, but I also see a lot of downsides where I know that in future I will have to rewrite a few of complex core components of AppKit on my own.
It's worth mentioning that app will operate on files (like Pages, Mindnode), not on the internal database, that would be hard to reach for an user that would like to open this file with some other apps (files are SQLite databases for now), like some SQLite manager.

These things fluctuate. Political stuff has been more intense lately, for obvious reasons—we can't expect HN to be immune from macro trends in society at large.
I guess my analogy would be, I could draw a very short line between all of those topics and burritos - make a slideshow of NFL players with burritos in their mouths, argue about what kinds of fillings Orwell would have put in his burrito, build a little trans pride burrito with a blue corn tortilla. But it'd be both frustrating and bizarre if I insisted on redirecting every conversation to burritos. Burritos are great, sure, but sometimes they're just not what we're talking about!

That's about my feelings towards (partisan) politics. I totally understand the impulse towards politics; I have a preferred political camp too, and I think it'd be great if they achieved more power and influence. But I don't think my camp is so important that it ought to go around intruding on every discussion in the world.
Don't jinx it, I don't like the guy but I'm looking forward to an Australian prime minister lasting a full term in office. 2007-2016 aus politics was a blood sport, make politics boring again.
There is no general implicit currying. I suppose if we are exact with CS terminology, currying means converting to 1-argument functions, so that's out.

But the threading macros do partial application in that they put the threaded-through value as an implicit argument. Look at the first examples in https://clojure.org/guides/threading_macros - the -> (thread-first) macro needs functions like assoc and update to take the map as the first argument.

And of course explicit use of partial application is also pretty common and argument order matters similarly there, just like it would eg in Python.

I run my home automation on atom. Considering that cost of asus eee pc is around $70 it still is a lucrative option of a complete system compared to raspberry.
Interesting idea. Unfortunately, and maybe it is my loss, but any link (on any topic) using wordings such as "Greatest" and "of all time" I always cautiously read comments first before clicking. I already feel the headline cannot be true based on so many other experiences - Awesome lists are another.

Would it fuel more interest if simply Greatest was italicized thus emphasizing the method over the list?
> Parallels Desktop Lite which to my understanding is a GUI to VF

No, Parallels has its own hypervisor as a kernel module (mainly used pre-Big Sur) and can use Hypervisor Framework (mainly used with Big Sur). It also emulates a lot of hardware.

Virtualization Framework only supports booting Linux VMs with minimal hardware emulation at the moment. It is only available on Big Sur.
I was not aware of Unlicense when I decided to use MIT but it sounds interesting. I will have to read more about it to see if it is a better fit for the project. I appreciate any help to improve the licensing since I want it to be open and free for anyone to use.

I assume you are being sarcastic.

I am not the author you are replying to but the grandparent. I thought of pricing for my system the same way.

If your productivity isn't worth 45 a month then this isn't the app for you. On the flip side, if this app makes you one percent more efficient then you generate thousands or millions of dollars in additional value, the price is well worth it.

As multiple news reports will tell you -- if you have the courage to read -- D’Antuono is not the only person within the DOJ who has said that there is no evidence linking antifa to the insurrection.

You can't trust Fox News journalists, or any journalism from NBC, ABC, CBS, Forbes, WSJ... what's left?
Commented in the post linking to the ABC article about it, but I'll post in this thread too, since it's being reported by news outlets somewhat inaccurately.

Searching for 'news' in google in Australia absolutely does not return results without the commercial news sites as most headlines may lead people to believe.

Directly linking to news _articles_ on those news sites may be hidden, but it's an important distinction that nobody appears to be making.

Maybe, maybe not. If the goal of both people in that discussion is to convert the other to their point of view, then yes, often times these discussions are not worth having. But we're not having private conversations here. The views of both sides can educate others who are participating in the discussion or even merely observing it. Sometimes it is good to watch a discussion on a topic you feel passionate about play out without participating. While you still might get irritated by those with opposing views, it's easier to digest what they are writing/saying when it's not directed to you individually. This helps with understanding why they have a differing view and in some cases, might even help you see a weakness in your own position that you never realized was there.

I built a primitive Mac/Swift prototype a year ago and still use it every day. I just finished doing wireframes for a redesign and Figma prototyping. Next is high-fidelity designs, some Firebase tests, and then I'll be coding again.

There was some interesting stuff in that, like the 3D graphics in a terminal. But the guy also had some problems haha, not the mental but the racial profanity stuff.

I don't know enough about OS layer to say but it seems like he knew his stuff.
I'm (slowly!) working towards an OS where every user-invoked application is a GUI, most applications are many processes (more like Erlang than Unix), and every interprocess interaction, including GUI programs asking the OS to be drawn, is message-passing of data.

My theory is that if applications are written as servers that do message-passing, one can have a shell language that orchestrates the passing of messages between servers instead of the flow of bytes between CLI programs; the semantics of the shell language still need to worked out, though. e.g. does it need session types, or can one get reasonable behavior by structuring data specially to indicate "this is only part of a response that's being streamed."

On the GUI side, the idea of describing a UI in pure data (like HTML) seems very reasonable, and seems like it would make it much easier to quickly throw together small GUI programs. So the drawing part of an application would just be a process that sends the screen/compositor process a message describing the state of its window as a tree, and receives messages for events in response.

A big advantage is it makes the semantics of composing GUIs a lot more reasonable "replace this leaf of my tree with this other process' tree" is a simple-to-implement and simple-to-understand operation, but seems like it'd make sharing widgets way easier: widgets are just processes that render without the "this is a window" flag set, and you ask the compositor to put them into your window's tree. Events flow back to the widget, and each side can send the other messages easily. An application could also "proxy" for a widget, including over a network link, so you get fairly simple network transparency this way too.
A p value close to the significance level ought to mean we need more data. Journals should start to reject papers that do experiments with bad designs.

If there's a real effect, with more data the p value will decrease, or the signal will go away. Uncertainty decreases.

Here is a previous discussion of a similar tool that also lists some of the limitations (like inability to use bridged networking without Apple's permission) of using Virtualization.framework: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25382529

I am personally more interested in tools that are based on Hypervisor.framework (which as I understand offers lower-level support for virtualization). Anyone knows what is the current state of Qemu support for M1 (last time I heard there were some out-of-tree patches)?

Does anyone have recommendations for interesting communities or people to follow?
Very true. I think I recently deliberated on this point about ideas being cheap because they can so deceptively sit in the realm of the ideal where everything is unconstrained and unchallenged. Grounding ideas and putting them to the test is where you begin to discover all the boundaries and tradeoffs and messy details that must be sorted through. Real work has a way of illuminating all those sticky messy points that must line up first for an idea to have a legging in the real world. Our imaginations are free to come up with all sorts of inconsistent and conflicting ideas that just never come to the foreground because of the centration on the beautiful perfect idea.
My Linux-fu might just be to weak but I haven't yet managed to get the Symbolics VM to run. I was wondering, if there exists a Linux VM were someone already got it to work or if you could do it inside a container?
