Totally agree. One side constantly levels wild accusations of racism, supremacism, insurrection, attempted murder, etc, while for the most part the other side just rolls its eyes and cracks jokes to “own the libs.”

One side thinks the other is evil, the other lot just think they’re foolish.

One side invents stuff like Critical Race Theory and works with their media allies to overhaul the education system and infuse everything with divisive/polarising concepts like “privilege” and “systemic racism”, while the other side just continues writing stuffy journal articles about old economic theory.

Of course you can find fringe lunatics on either side saying anything, but I’m talking about that which is mainstreamed in Congress, in the NYT, on the big TV networks.
I guess it depends on your goals. I had a whole house humidifier, and it leaked just enough to cause long term damage. And that's as good as it gets for humidifying your entire house.

Now, I don't care. I just want to sleep well, and my bedroom is the only room that actually really matters for my skin not to be dry and sleep comfortable.

I don't need to add any treatments, chemicals to my bucket system, so I would say it's far and above safer and more effective than all the other systems I've tried.
Building a new gecko-based browser is not the same thing as "embedding gecko", at least on desktop platforms.

Creating a new gecko-based product is not very hard, even if you will hit some cases of the platform depending on firefox that you'll have to workaround or borrow.

Creating a full new blink-based product is as difficult actually. Most chromium derivatives take the simpler road of forking chromium, not building a new blink-based browser (eg. Brave maintains a pile of patches).

I don't understand why you would expect a "firefoxium": there is no such thing because there is no proprietary version of the open source Firefox. If you fork Firefox, you're in the same boat as people forking chromium in terms of complexity.
Doesn’t that already happen? Chrome currently survives thanks to advertising either way. Splitting Google would just make it a little more indirect.
How is this any better than something like flatbuffers though?

I wasn't aware of the difference in terminology, thanks.

In this case, despite the different terminology, the study efficacy and real world effectiveness should be very similar, because they're measuring the same thing - number of infections and serious disease.

Well, I don't think the feedback of people that don't use (or, more specifically, who don't feel the pain of not having) generics is all that relevant. In my mind, the trade-off is between potential runtime performance improvements via monomorphization vs the compile time cost of figuring out how to emit said code.

I also think there's an important consideration in terms of community and ecosystem. There are plenty of examples elsewhere where splitting on some core aspect of a language had some long lasting damaging effects (python 2 vs 3, perl vs raku, D v1 phobos vs tango, etc). I don't necessarily anticipate that this would be the case here, but it'd be unfortunate if the community split into different go flavors based on similar-but-incompatible ways of doing similar types of tasks.
Same here. Just wish fraidy cat worked on mobile.

Not true at all, labour costs only make few percents of high value goods you import from third world countries.

Even if they were to go up tenfold, it will not make that much of difference.

People who moan about labour costs making any difference to modern manufacturing are just keeping regurgitating a myth.

In fact, trained manufacturing labour costs in coastal China are now significantly passing that of US averages, and even more so of US flyover states.
Well said! I'm going to use this and other people should as well.
What's a major Go project that had to be ported, or maintained in two separate versions or branches, in order to target two different versions of the Go language itself? I don't think the Python comparison is particularly apt, whatever our other concerns about Go stability might be.

not really. Email companies and ISPs have made great strides in stopping spam but the crypto spam and hacks of verified accounts persists and is as bad now as it was 3 years ago. I hardly get any email spam. Just in the past hour 4 verified accounts were hacked, so probably 30+ get hacked daily. This suggests weak password hashing, poor security standards.
Yeah, just looking at my RSS list, most of them I discovered from just checking the usual /rss endpoints that are completely unadvertised on the website where you see in the XML it's generated by Wordrpress.

I have no doubt that it's the only reason most feeds exist.

Any RSS reader really needs to be able to crawl websites to create its own feed as only consuming websites that support RSS is a pretty weak prospect.
>As an example, any time Homebrew ships a new update I run “pipx reinstall-all” and, for local projects, I let pipenv / poetry rebuild the virtualenv the next time I use it. This is automated and takes far less of my time than, say, managing dependency updates.

So, giving up (and re-installing everything from scratch or rebuilding virtualenvs, using several third party tools (pipx on top of pip, pipenv and/or poetry in lieu/in place of virtualenv) is your argument to how "it's not complicated" and people merely "arbitrarily complicate their personal workflows"?

Oh, the irony!
People share quite a bit of HN content via RSS on newsblur, hell I’m posting this from inside Newsblur right now.

A single flow cell contains a few thousand pores (I think this is what you mean by "holes") that are all at different stages of passing different molecules, with signal data being captured from a few hundred at any given time. In practice you'd never expect (nor could you arrange) for two pores to be at the same stage of processing the same (or any pre-determined) molecule at the same time, so correlation information like that is out. The "clock rate" is determined by the so-called motor protein that "pulls" the nucleic acid molecule through the pore, if you fancy going down the reading rabbit-hole...
> Did you just compare Stadia to a console plugged directly into to your T.V. with a hardwired controller?

I mean... yes. This is what Stadia is competing with. It's in their marketing materials.

> perfectly adequate for a multiplayer game

If you're referring to the latency that traditional gaming machines have to contend with during online multiplayer, there's still a difference here

For many years now, online multiplayer games have used a technique called Client-side prediction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-side_prediction) to deal with the fact that tens of milliseconds of latency in a game feels terrible. They can't fix the latency itself, but what they can do is apply short-term changes to things like character movement and camera rotation on the client side, with the assumption that those changes will happen regardless of what the server responds with after handling the multi-client inputs. They effectively front-load the little stuff where tiny differences in latency are noticeable, and leave the server to handle the longer-term stuff like collisions and scorekeeping. This keeps interactions instantaneous, even though the shared game state can't be, and maintains a smooth game-feel.

This is impossible to do for cloud gaming, because the "client" itself lives across the network. The actual client sitting in front of you in this case knows nothing about how to render any aspect of the game, it just mirrors a video feed.

It's great that Stadia is working well for you. It's working well for some people. Nothing wrong with enjoying it. I just remain highly skeptical that it's ever going to work well enough for a large enough number of people to be a long-term success.
If I have many tabs open that I need to review and sift through and I want to put that process on hold, I use the OneTab extension that will collapse all the tabs and save all the urls as a group on the OneTab app page. You can name each group, click on a button to launch tabs for all the links in the group, etc.

Big picture though, for each project or endeavor I'm working on I create a folder in google drive with a document named journal where I journal my thoughts, ideas, meanderings on the project. I start collecting important links relevant to the project there. Over time I add more documents and folders to organize my work on the project and save/document any important resources.
I'm not sure I buy the "security cost" argument.

I feel like my allignment towards tech has been a big boon to my career. I am proficient in Excel but obviously could be better. I have been using python for data science and have published a lot, mainly because I feel like other doctors still find this stuff mystical.

You are right. I will probably end up buying resources or even someone's services to help me along the way.
I only know about the whole Tan Suit thing because Reddit keeps mentioning how big of a deal it was. They will never let it go.

Yes.

Painfully enough, Democrats are largely unsympathetic or deliberately unaware. Every racial equality discourse and minority suppression is about “black and latino”.

Asians are apparently non-existent.

Republicans know this very well.
> I would like to make a shout out to quickcheck (Haskell, https://hackage.haskell.org/package/QuickCheck) as it was my first introduction to property based testing

As far as I know the Haskell Quickcheck library by John Hughes was in fact the first library to lay out property-based testing. He then went on to create a paid and expanded version of the library in Erlang. And then as Quickcheck rose in popularity it's been re-implemented in many many different languages.
"Ultimate attribution error is the tendency to internally attribute negative outgroup and positive ingroup behaviour and to externally attribute positive outgroup and negative ingroup behaviour. So in other words, ultimate attribution error arises as a way to explain an outgroup's negative behaviour as flaws in their personality, and to explain an outgroup's positive behaviour as a result of chance or circumstance."

First off we don't know that it was Russian and PRC hackers and secondly pointing fingers at every opportunity is bad for everyone except those that thrive on people having an Us versus Them world-view. Just... don't. Take the high road for once.
> "I should spend less time fucking around on the Internet mindlessly consuming media."

How do you know that is the target audience? To me it's people who are research focused, which doesn't necessarily mean they're fucking around at all. Academics, scientists, etc, often spend a ton of time reading papers and researching things + taking notes. You're making a big assumption here.
Oh, wow, you're right. OK, that'd be a huge win.
This is not an appropriate article or discussion for HN. There's lots of other places to "be political". Not so many to "be technical"... It would be a great disappointment to see HN turn into, say, Slashdot.
Brave does not inject their own ads into websites.

I would not consider it a solution to mistrust, but rather a way to obviate it altogether.

Bitcoin is simply a way to achieve consensus about value that is secure and decentralized. Many people consider it a currency, and certainly that is true, but I think it best to consider it a network, or even better, a form of communication. You can 'speak' on the Bitcoin network in very powerful ways. You can broadcast transactions and transfer value with extraordinary security and robustness. Statements like this, without Bitcoin, require enormous effort: legal systems, governments, and ultimately armies.

This result is obviously not a technical one, but a social one. It is mediated by technology, but the rules and incentives of participation are social. You trust Bitcoin 'speech' because you understand what motivates network participants and conclude that fraud is phenomenally unlikely.

But a society that uses Bitcoin is not suddenly without trust, or even diminished in trust. It simply no longer requires trust for certain things.

____

> Societies with higher levels of trust tend to do better than others

Trust, in this sense, could be considered as a resource. More trust lets you do more things. But if you don't require trust for a function, that trust may be used for other purposes. It is in this sense that trust can be considered a liability: you have to 'spend' trust to achieve an end, and thus must maintain its supply.

A society that cooperates well can achieve more, but may also be more vulnerable if that trust should wane. To whatever extent trust and cooperation are self-reinforcing, I think history has plenty of examples of such systems collapsing to make this a worthwhile consideration.

Some demoscene hacker filing a copyright claim against this would be incredibly lame though.
My very, very loose understanding is that bitmap fonts in the US have a bit of a special protection against copyright, with the logic being that their public utility outweighs the benefit of enforcing these restrictions. Vector fonts not so much, but as these are all in PNG form, they seem exempt:

IANAL, this is a US-based understanding and other countries have different rules, clarification welcome, other usual disclaimers, etc.
A race to the bottom of decency is exactly what is currently happening. One side continuing to "take the high road" will do absolutely NOTHING to stop it.

It is delusional to think that the Republicans will ever be shamed into cooperation. They don't care, their voters don't care, and high-minded speeches about the need for civility are the stuff of a comedy sketch if delivered while the listener is in the process of hacking you to pieces.
I'd say there's a big difference between having one primary customer and literally being owned by that customer. I would bet that a significant part Chrome's development is built around feeding data to other parts of Google, which would be more difficult and less appealing as a separate company.

Plus, there's no rule that says a browser has to get most of its revenue from selling Google Search placement. That just happens to be the case for the single independent browser that exists right now, one which isn't exactly renowned for great business leadership. I think if the Chrome team had a reason to explore self sustaining revenue models there's a good chance they would come up with some solid innovations.

>I'd hazard a guess that it is because Python is so old. It was literally created in the 80s. Package management, explosion of dependencies, multiple implementations of the interpreter, being added to the base operating system, and all that fancy stuff came after.

So? You can still create nice tools for it, even decades after a language has been created...

59-41 is an 18% swing, and would be considered an overwhelming majority in most political endeavors. Both modern and contemporaneous accounts of that particular election refer to the results as such, but feel free to attach whatever modifier you wish.
“MTG” is the exception that proves the rule.
I think you're projecting the HN crowd a bit here.

The majority of normal people probably don't care as much about "privacy" as some of the vocal folks here do.

I'm not making a value judgement on that, it's simply how it is.

People want to use services like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram or Google search/Gmail/Google Maps that have the functionality they enjoy.

If those companies can show them targeted ads vs random useless ads, the majority of people seem to be fine with that tradeoff.

I want it to be the year of the Linus desktop for a long while but I've made peace with the fact that's not the majority view. Most people are happy with a proprietary desktop that just works.
"The professional...must fight to preserve the naiveté that the layman already possesses" - a genius quote by Bill Evans that applies to more than just music.
A []int doesn’t have the same layout in memory as a []interface{}. You could copy the values to a new slice, but that’s expensive and it breaks anything relying on slices being mutable in place (this and covariance vs. contravariance is why Java won’t cast from int[] to Object[]).

You are suffering under the common delusion that you should be paid according to your value. Employees are labor and are paid as such. In tech companies that might involve equity but primarily you are the labor. In capitalist society, labor is paid at a market rate vs other equivalent labor, not by value.

Your earning power is thus determined by what the next company is willing to offer. Again, this is disconnected from value.

You can see prevailing wages for established companies at levels.fyi . I've no idea how big "small" is but in silicon valley, middle stage startups pretty consistently pay about $175-$225k plus equity.

Very nice!

I was going to do something like this for contactless transfer (ideally live) for a box of old cylinder records that I have. I still have the DVD head and fiber optics, for the confocal setup. Cylinder records are nice because they only have one channel of audio, with the waveform represented as a vertical displacement, perfect for something like this, on a screw drive, that just has to read depth and correct some slight tracking error.
