I often observe there’s a reason the first amendment was put before the second. A man with a rifle can cause dozens of deaths. A man with a big enough megaphone can cause millions of deaths.

It’s funny that the specious argument that the second amendment doesn’t protect arms the framers didn’t have available isn’t applied to the first amendment. The Internet and mass persuasion is way more unforeseeable than a rifle that shoots faster. Perhaps it’s time for common sense speech control? This isn’t unconstitutional, freedom of speech is not unlimited under the constitution it’s just a matter of where to draw the lines.
FWIW I had an e-commerce product offering one click buying from dynamic banner ads (!) before Amazon had one click buying.

I think it was obvious at the time, and cannot fathom why other stores didn’t try it earlier except perhaps fraud fears.

Separately, Amazon is often no longer one-click, which will bite you when you think you ordered but were instead on a supplemental question page you clicked back from without reading. Super annoying when the product doesn’t show up 2 days later.

I can't say I choose based on values, but I can give you an example of what people may mean by choosing based on values.

Apparently a Nestlé representative recently declared that if a law that requires large corporations to disclose and to stop getting raw materials from suppliers which use forced labor (i.e. slavery) passes, coffee customers might be impacted, probably by higher coffee prices. It's at best a clumsy statement and at worst an endorsement of slavery (!), all for reducing coffee costs by probably a few percent.

A moral choice, based on values, would be to never buy coffee from Nestlé brands and instead buy from companies that guarantee that their suppliers don't use forced labor.

Is this case all they have when they accuse Florida of falsifying covid data? I assumed there was more but never looked into it.
It's kind of funny, because the last laptop I purchased (and the one I am still using) was Apple's first retina MacBook Pro as soon as it was released in 2012. I've refused to upgrade since then because I felt that all of the newer MacBook's were inferior in some way. Now I'm finally thinking of upgrading again once the 16" is released, and it's sounding like the new laptop will look exactly like mine from 10 years ago.

I'm not a fan of MagSafe though. It's always falling out whenever I slightly move my laptop around. And my thought with the touchbar is that they should replace it with physical keys, however, the keys should have tiny OLED displays beneath them. That way, if you want the function keys back, it will look at exactly like the rest of the keys on the keyboard, but if you want some other type of button, that's possible too.
That's interesting. I also use SD cards to transfer data from my phone (I make tons of photos). I used to do it by connecting via USB cable, but after a couple of months the USB-C port worn out and no longer works, so for me the only reasonable way to get the data out is through an SD card.
I tried things like setting up network server and sending files wirelessly but that was flaky.
If it was just for his audience why does he say "that blows my mind" or something to that effect?
I understand where you're coming from. I hear the "bigger fish to fry" sentiment often. The point about distributed data races is a good one.

At one point I did a comparison between a mono/Nancy web service and the same web service, feature for feature, built in NodeJS, Rust/rocket, and Go. I built a few different endpoints that did different types of work and load tested them, profiled memory usage, etc. I know mono and perhaps Nancy weren't the best point of comparison, and it's been some time since, but Rust/rocket really impressed me then, including on axes like ease of development and code readability. The perf deltas I saw could matter quite a bit at scale, allowing for fewer/cheaper servers.

I've enjoyed using Rust for a few things since, personally, and am so far pretty unbothered by its shortcomings.
I have only been listening to Lex's podcast for a few months, so I don't know a lot about its history. When did this rebranding take place?

Considering the otherwise thoughtful and considerate tone of HN, why do you think comments such as yours belong here?
Here is a good one, using Eclipse EMF for code generation having as input UML data files generated from Rational Rose.
It's a little hard to follow you but it still sounds like this to me: there's a problem I am seeing, others are "bad" for not fixing it but I am "justified" in doing nothing. So it's not surprising nothing gets done.

For what it's worth, my strategy has always been to grapple with these situations. Sometimes you get to have impact and learn in the process: eg how do I communicate about this problem in a way that gets traction? If you can do it, you will "level up" in your career.

Alternatively you may learn why things being as they are is a reasonable trade-off for the situation you are in. This may also level you up by helping you think on "what makes sense for the business" rathe than simply "I don't like it" level.

At worst, you'll have a story for your next interview about how you tried and failed to make a big improvement like this. I have a similar story and it resonates really well for senior roles.
Why the Canadian Tech Scene Doesn't Work
You somehow managed to turn other people's dislike of you in to dismissal and insult. It isn't an observation, it is a protection mechanism you have to avoid introspection because maybe ... just maybe ... you are an arsehole.
From a recent HN discussion, I learned that emacs has had a sampling profiler built in — not on MELPA or something, first-party! — since about 2013. How many widely-used applications these days contain a facility for asking "why is the command I just issued executing slowly?" and for _doing something about it?_ As far as I'm concerned, that's now table stakes for a programming environment: you should be able to not just run a profiler on whatever program you're using the editor to interact with, but to do robust profiling on your editor itself.
Gatekeeping HN comments is beyond silly.
A nitpick because this is an accepted notation, but as others mentioned in the thread: when someone writes 2n+3 = O(n) they mean 2n+3 \in O(n) (\in is little epsilon in latex, that is “element of set”), since O(f) is the set of all functions that has “f as an upper bound”.
Above all Lex makes his guests feel safe. That may be the main reason he can manage to get so special guests.

I recall his podcast with Stephen Wolfram. His reputation as a human being is not great and he often shows up defensive. With Lex he is not afraid to be vulnerable and is able to share a lot.
It’s my primary editor. It’s a better text editor than VsCode, but VsCode is a better IDE.
As an example, Adobe Acrobat. It's obvious why it needs 3 services, a persistent update checker, a couple shell extensions, 2 non services set to run at startup, and always running extensions for Outlook, Excel, and Word. All totally necessary things that a restrictive app model would unjustly break.
If you have few hard facts, how are you evaluating the justification for raiding her home?
Yes, but mega-corps are exploiting free software and killing it in a way. Personally I believe it would be in everyone’s interest to fight back. Maybe we could have “human-scale free software” alongside the traditional model.
If you look at the android sandbox architecture (I m guessing ios is similar but I m less familiar with it) there are intentional "holes" in the sandbox that are managed by the user permissions (hence the user does have a say). I don't think a lot of people are arguing about 100% sandbox or nothing. I know that depending on where one stands they have feedback to give about how android permissions could be better, but still the ecosystem is better with it than without it.
> and why it's important to keep costs low (maybe wait until after you sell the startup), is because when you are profitable, then you are in control of your time and get to set your own schedule

This presupposes that you can get to high marketshare profitability while keeping costs low. That's not always realistic. A more growth-minded competitor can push you out of the market entirely by willing to execute where you won't.
we don't have anything like that with photos and things have turned out ok

I'm genuinely interested in why you think he is a creep?
Have you found that other extension authors have this in mind? Most extensions don't seem to be built with hooks in mind so you're kinda stuck with either the existing extension or rolling your own. There also aren't very good primitives for most use cases because of this. I assume VSCode will get there though.
I think sublime is a fantastic text editor. But it just doesn't cut it for me as a development environment. Getting productive in vscode is easy. It just works. Though Sublime hq's sublime merge git client is fantastic. I don't really care about sublime text anymore, but I'm a devoted user of sublime merge.
The comment doesn't strike me as particularly hostile, but the "creep" characterisation is questionable.

Funny to see you getting downvotes when you’re entirely correct.

Monte Carlo simulation shows that this actually produces an empty galaxy 21.45 % of the time.

Isn't that just elaborated way of saying that some of the parameters of the Drake equation have to be much smaller than we think?

Your opinion is in this case based on your ignorance and misunderstandings. The main threat model U2F key protects against is phishing, and phishing is the largest threat currently. The password is sufficient to protect you for opportunistic offline attacks like theft or loss.
In most cases, I fully agree.

But there's the hefty edge case (for developers at least) of showing off a piece of code that essentially requires a developer environment to be running. It's simply not possible to create a developer environment quickly enough in a meeting room for it to be practical.
The Dan Carlin interview was a big disappointment and snoozefest for me. I LOVE Dan Carlin and would have liked to see him answer questions about current events and how he sees things playing out. Instead, the first question was about the "nature of evil".

I have to admit though, Dan Carlin on Joe Rogan isn't a good interview either. His podcasts are incredible, but maybe he just doesn't interview well.
Ditto on the request to retain USB-C charging. The ability to charge phones + Chromebooks + a MacBook in my house with interchangeable power blocks and cables is a huge benefit. MagSafe just isn't worth it.
I have found this mostly good enough that it gives me hope for VSCode. I wish more extensions took inspiration from Emacs and were implemented in texty ways as editor windows though.
Agreed on MagSafe + USB-C. What I find interesting is the interpretation of this bit:

- There will be additional I/O ports

I’m pretty sure that simply more USB-C ports also fits that description. I don’t know why someone would assume that means SD card slots are coming back. I don’t see a future where Apple has SD slots on notebooks.
Doom is not really better than spacemacs. It's just the same pain in a different flavor. Sure, in the micro-cosm of emacs it's pretty good, but in the macro-cosm it's still a pain and can't lift the limitations and problems of emacs.
Or perhaps it's more about synchronizing, like a musical orchestra under a conductor's lead. Whichever piece they play, it matters most that they play the same piece to the same beat and pulse, instead of everyone trying to play their own favorite melody.

Often among roughly equally talented people what matters is to have a clear vision, any vision and to orient a whole group towards the same direction. It's really hard to judge in advance who is better in long term vision and strategy. Experts don't have a great track record in this and CEOs also don't seem to have a great sense of direction (ie their track record quickly regresses to the mean).

Leadership is to a large degree about crafting a convincing narrative and fostering acting in unison. "To make people long for the sea" etc.
Research, and academia in particular, are very status/authority oriented, for better or worse. People with no credentials succeeding is not unheard of, but is extremely rare. Especially these days, when you’ll be competing with hordes of PhDs being pumped out by universities every year.

If we still had journalists, the most obvious follow up question is, "what are the moderation standards you've set that they need to meet, after which you will allow them back in?"

I think most people (fairly in my opinion) see that as PR/legal talk and that the bar (much like AWS) is set so high that they'll never make it (nor could Twitter/Facebook/etc).

If they want to go beyond PR/legal empty talk, they could provide a specific written standard. We could then evaluate it on its merits and compare it to other platforms to see if it's being evenly applied.
Most of the stuff you are citing are ON TOP of the launch costs you are talking about.

Software. People become accustomed to the closed ecosystem of OSX, which you can't duplicate on others' hardware. This is a key facet of Apple's business model and as GP poster illustrates, it works. Apple can screw up the hardware for 7 years, and GP poster will simply wait for them to come back to doing it right.
Wow that is what I thought OP meant but I thought surely they don't spend that much on dating apps? I have nothing against meeting online, but paying that much to? Do people not meeting organically anymore, be it online or IRL?
That's the whole point of this thing: You're pointing to Florida's numbers and assuming "no bungling".

This person arrested is alleging that Florida has been fudging the numbers to make their situation look much better than it is.
Libro.fm also sells DRM free audiobooks, has a nice app, and will work with indie bookstores to be their audiobook provider as well as turn over a percentage of sales..
My interpretation is that she's not the whistleblower she claims to be, and in fact has unfairly cast a dark shadow over the work of everyone else involved in Florida's Covid-19 dashboard through her accusations.

Honestly, I think she was just attributing sinister motives to fairly inane bureaucratic decisions about data and reporting. But once she decided to go on CNN and lob accusations, this whole fiasco turned into a political Rorschach test that is completely unmoored from the underlying reality.
I think Yubikey (and similar physical solutions) will eventually gain popularity. Carrying a key is pretty much a standard practice across the globe and benefit is more than negligible because it forces physical attack versus remote/virtual.

Here are some news, we are already in C17, with ongoing work for C2X.
Cameras are used for multiple professional purposes, including videography and commercial photography. SD cards are also used in devices such as Zoom audio recorders, which I often use for recording music. Especially right now, I'll loan a Zoom and a nice mic to a musician so that they can record tracks for me remotely.

They're also the standard boot device for computers like the Raspberry Pi. Basically, they're a professional tool which one might expect in a professional laptop.
I agree. I think many of the extremes, like "be yourself [despite all others]" comes from a lack of self confidence. Hearing what others feel about you, empathising and deciding what _you_ feel about it takes a lot of self confidence.
Branch prediction as a concept is not a finer point of a CPU design - sure it's up to you to learn about it or not, but understanding the basics of writing CPU friendly code is really not hard in the slightest. AI workloads are some of the heaviest around at the moment, so a little can go a long way.

I am entirely self-taught in CS and I know what I know, I'm not inflicting it on anyone else I'm just saying Jim Keller doesn't do these very often and I want to hear him in more depth.
Oh yes. Especially with the chill institute.
Audio captchas don't really solve the underlying problem. Yes, they make things easier for english-speaking blind people with no hearing problems, but that's about it.

From an accessibility perspective, the only solution that makes sense is pervasive surveillance to determine if you're human or not.
Yup, that makes a lot of sense - I didn't realize Python cached so many previous regex's, which is nice!

I did use cprofile a while back and I think at the time it showed a lot of time in the regexp matching. (I don't think I posted about it though) Honestly, once I implemented the parallelism I got less motivated to make it faster. But now I am kinda curious what the speed difference is between Rust and Python if I spend time trying to optimize both.

Thanks for the suggestions!

> What a crappy attitude that leads nowhere:)

Erm, so we're mandating what people should do now? Yours seems to be a rather black/white view of such events, when (since it involves humans) it's on a spectrum:

There are people who do not want to spend their time with their work colleagues.

There are people who do not want to be forced to spend with their work colleagues.

There are people who dislike that unless you spend time with their work colleagues in corporate sponsored events you will be sidelines.

And that's assuming that the corporate event is good at all. Which, quite frankly, most aren't.
Nothing to add - just a great article that provides an objective and humanistic review of the field which is extremely refreshing to me.

It invites the reader to consider their values and its mapping to the tooling we use (instead of working backward by having a gut feel of what they like and trying to justify why a specific feature is The Best)
You're an outlier. Most people don't take and process as many photos as you, and if they do, the processing is Instagram filters :-) Also the need to transfer photos around has decreased drastically with social media sharing and cloud storage.

You'll see in the next few years that smartphones, tablets, laptops will cater less and less to your needs. Sad... But probably inevitable.
VSCode has great and convenient language support, but the trade-off is reduced text editing efficiency, slower speed and more bloat. It is a worthy trade-off in many situations, I use it often when working on projects that are written in languages I am not too familiar with.

I would like to emphasize how big of a game changer the next release of Neovim 0.5.0 will be. With builtin LSP support it will get code navigation, auto-completion and refactoring support on the level of VSCode out of the box, while being way more efficient and faster. I will likely still keep VSCode installed just in case, but only expect it to use it in rare occasions in the future.

Emacs is really powerful, but its age is showing and there are some serious technical deficiencies under the hood. I would challenge the idea from the post that the need for "Neoemacs" is not that great. From the history it appears to me more like that many people tried, but due to complexity of Emacs nobody has been able to successfully pull it off yet.
It fits with the OP theory of "an expensive jobs program for Alabama, Texas and Florida."

If you think of that as the actual purpose, this is a successful project.
