The real reason is the drive traffic to their site. You must be new to this. Apparently this is "the" way to drive traffic / growth now, i.e. by writing these sort of short blog posts now. It's the "growth hacking" way. I have a product in the Chinese market so I haven't really used these kinds of marketing techniques. Maybe someone else can chip in how well these methods work in driving traffic and subsequently conversions, I'm genuinely curious as well

IMO this article really does language learners a disservice by stopping before at least mentioning stringer, which is even more critical to cleaning this up than iota (which does get a mention). It doesn't only generate most of the boilerplate code but does so in a safer and more efficient manner.

On the other hand, the efficiency concern it presents is real, and just repeating "sum types" is not, alone, enough to address it. Many languages with sum types would still store, and even more still serialize, a string.
> I'd really prefer to see us move toward vms instead of containers, even if we kept the same k8s abstractions

1. For me containers are one of those abstractions, defined by exposing an application controlled userspace. Containers can be implemented by different isolation technologies, from simple chroot/cgroup/namespaces... to VMs.

2. I'd still use chroot&co to partially isolate containers within a pod, while using VMs to strongly isolate pods from each other. This enables features like shared block-devices, unix-domain-sockets and monitoring the processes in an application container from a separate diagnostics container.

> "doesn't police legal content."

What does that mean - what would it mean to "police legal content"?
It's worth remembering that many of these places were settled before electricity was even an option. The Tennessee River Valley was not settled in the 1960s. Many places prone to occasional flooding have compelling reasons to be settled. Arable land, navigable rivers, and more.

Choosing only to settle in places without flooding (or any other natural disaster) and with infrastructure already built out is what some might characterize as unreasonably limiting.
Serves you right for hotlinking ;-)
Ask HN: Launch accountability competitions similar to Startup School or Pioneer?
I find that participating in competitions where regular updates help accountability and also provide an opportunity to engage with a community that has similar goals - launching a product - is helping me a lot in my journey.

On the basis of "I don't know what I don't know" I'm curious if you can recommend any other places where I can participate in such communities?

Currently I am active on Startup School and Pioneer. Indiehackers and Makerlog also seems fine, but I feel like the regular, weekly update schedule is probably the best fit for me and the eventual reward at the end of the tournament is also a motivating factor.

I assume other funds / accelerators also host similar stuff.

Did you read the article? Apparently what is widely assumed to be a pro forma aspect of the legislative process has, in fact, been used to make substantive changes to legislature before it's even presented to parliament and this is done in a manner outside of public view.
Clearly this is a fun problem! I did this a few years ago too[1] and thought it might be a useful service, I made a naive solution in JS for my needs that takes a Boolean matrix specifying who can't give to another! I even made a code golf challenge for it!

You can turn on paged reading rather than scrolling (and fiddle with some of the other settings around color conversion which had bad defaults) and it's as good as any other app.

I read an endless stream of academic papers, which why I opted for the lumi. Most textbooks are less dense (in my experience), so would probably be fine on an Air.
These are great suggestions - thank you! I just copied it over to our company Slack and we'll see what we can do!
It seems like there are two groups of lords, one group has been heavily shown in the media(think Downton Abby or the aristocratic family having to sell or have tours of their estate). The other set of lords is not really shown in media and they are large landowners in London and other cities in Britain and are extremely wealthy and powerful, see the Grosvenor family - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Grosvenor,_7th_Duke_of_We...

It's actually sad to see that scale-up almost disappeared, especially considering the insanelly powerful HW we have now, just NVMe SSDs are game changer for anything I/O bound.
I remember how few years back there were some people in our company completely floored when they learned that StackOverflow ran on 1 SQL server (quite beefy though, 1TB RAM IIRC). Similar 'cloud' (aka 'someone else's datacenter') setup would cost significantly more, but that seems to be forgotten/forbidden knowledge these days. I guess people need to justify those cloud technologies certificates.
WOW! This was a really interesting read. I don't even know exactly where to start. I never looked into G+ (and was nowhere near as good as a programmer as I am now), but those were really cool findings.

Related to UUIDs, it does indeed protect privacy and protects the server from crapping and leaks. It is not enough for security, but it does make it harder. Internally you can still use sequential IDs for the PK so that speed is not impacted.
Thanks for your suggestions on better ways to support self hosting! I agree we need to do a much better job here.

We chose Kafka and Druid because:
1. Any company which reaches a decent scale invariably uses some form of Kafka. And it is a trusted system which scales upto huge scale.
2. Community adoption and support. When choosing datastore, we also evaluated Apache Pinot & Clickhouse, but Druid seemed to have the best community. Also, it was proven to use at scale in places like Lyft

I agree though that these are not simple systems, and may be too much for smaller orgs. We are also evaluating supporting simpler datastores, but that would depend on what the community demands. Our architecture is modular so we are not strictly tied to druid and we can support other datastores if there is interest.

I agree with your point around integrations. That is one of the moats of DataDog in my opinion. Agree to the usefulness of integrations for PagerDuty/Slack. I have added an issue for this - https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/issues/21#issue-804860212

Though we are hoping being an open source projects, our community would be able to create integrations. Have answered this in more detail in another comment - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26080530
I agree that they're not very good ones, but a container escape would be treated by everyone the same way a VM escape would be: instant patching, coordinated/embargoed disclosure, AWS finding out before you do, et c.

They didn't start out at the design phase that way, but they absolutely are today.

According to the only option I have for a "Broadband" (FCC 25mbit down 3mbit up) ISP... No, they're still happily giving me only a /64 IPv6 address.

IPv6 wants to reserve the lower 64 bits for RNG addresses (sure, fine), and the upper 32 bits for classification and global routing (also fine?); leaving 32 bits for inner-ISP subnet needs. In practice the ISPs seem intent on at _best_, for an actual business class connection (which I've seen) providing a /56 to that, but forcing stupid router firmware to eat /4 of that, leaving in practice a /60 on the business link.

"Stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) requires a /64 address block, as defined in RFC 4291. Local Internet registries are assigned at least /32 blocks, which they divide among subordinate networks.[42] The initial recommendation stated assignment of a /48 subnet to end-consumer sites (RFC 3177). This was replaced by RFC 6177, which "recommends giving home sites significantly more than a single /64, but does not recommend that every home site be given a /48 either". /56s are specifically considered. It remains to be seen whether ISPs will honor this recommendation. For example, during initial trials, Comcast customers were given a single /64 network.[43]"

> John McWhorter is not a MAGA hack.

From reading the piece, he seems more of a Friedman/Brooks hack (much more common in the mainstream media), but still a hack.

> This article is the very definition of a straw man. Absolutely no one subscribes to the position it critiques.

McWhorter seems to be really keen (not just in this piece) on adapting the old and problematic waves of feminism model and applying it, badly and without much basis, to “antiracism”.

> What no one has yet done is provide an actual reference to anyone going on the record to endorse the ten-point position that McWhorter calls "third-wave anti-racism."

I doubt you could find much support for people supporting any of them (except maybe #3, which is perfectly internally consistent without even superficial contradiction, and #10, in which the implication of contradiction is based entirely in the fallacy of division, like, come to think of it, much racism.)

Most of them have superficial resemblance to things people actually believe, but have been subtly twisted to make strawmen.

As one example, McWhorter’s number 2 is:

> Black people are a conglomeration of disparate individuals. “Black culture” is code for “pathological, primitive ghetto people.” But don’t expect black people to assimilate to “white” social norms because black people have a culture of their own.

An actual real thing many antiracists believe is:

> Black people are a conglomeration of disparate individuals. Reference to a singular “Black culture” is code for “pathological, primitive ghetto people.” But don’t expect black people to assimilate to “white” social norms because black people have cultures of their own.

The differences are subtle in terms of the change in words, but gigantic in terms of change of meaning.
Yes it has. More expensive in the US because the environmental standards are much higher here... but that's exactly why there should be more of this type of production here.
> the company that built the thing probably went out of business decades ago.

Aren't these things typically owned by a co-op or public organization? If they are privately owned and producing electricity I can't see how they went out of business. Once the dam is built and operational the damn thing prints money.

I used to work as a scholar of Britain (specifically executions in Early Modern England, but you pick up a lot along the way) and I've tried to explain to a lot of people the amount of influence and control that the monarch actually holds. I'm not sure that this is such a bad thing. The Queen can't create legislation, she can restrain it. She is purely a moderating influence in this sense. She could, in theory, name new people to the House of Lords, but the Lords is no longer a hereditary body and there is a mechanism for the House of Commons to override the Lords.

Parliament does have power over the monarch in some senses, of course, in that there is precedent for Parliament changing the order of succession or introducing a regency. This happened without the monarch's assent, though admittedly over a hundred years ago. But the British constitution is one that replies on precedence, not a formal document.

I've characterized the Queen's powers as "reserve powers" inasmuch as, if everything goes wrong and Parliament dies from a meteor strike, the government still legally operate provided there is a monarch (even if you have to reach deep into the line of succession to find that person). By law she has to call elections within a certain amount of time. Obviously there's nothing to force her to follow the laws, but that's true of any country. She (or her heirs) are the leaders of last resort.

I think you have misunderstood my point about the influence of the memetic apparatus on the promulgation of ideas. I'm not taking a particular stance on whether or not the Thinker himself would say X; I'm saying X is the version of the idea that is widely ascribed to the thinker because of memetic selection, and X is usually a version of what the thinker actually thinks.

To say that X is a "strawman" implies some degree of disingenuousness, some intentionality, as if you could only possibly believe that Robin Hanson thinks people don't really care about their children if you are actively trying to misrepresent his real stance, which you secretly know deep down. In reality, Robin Hanson actually does think that people don't care about their children nearly as much as they say they do, add six more pages of caveats. This gets rhetorically rounded off to "Robin Hanson thinks people don't care about their children." The result is endless stupid conversations. This may or not be partly Robin Hanson's fault for making his blog post titles intentionally inflammatory and attention-grabby ("Healthcare is not about health", etc.). I am agnostic was to whether Foucalt has intentionally turned into the skid on this; but I do personally suspect that many big thinkers lean into obscurantism because they don't want to be nailed down.

Another way of phrasing the above: What you just posted is actually my point. On reflection, I'm not actually sure whether you read beyond the second paragraph.
The 0.x stability is news to me. I would suggest the community would get wider adoption by moving to 1.0 for components that others can build on, such as web servers.

To me, that Tokio hit 1.0 is a significant milestone, one that encourages its use for new projects. I personally look forward to the first web server widely adopted that hits 1.0 and relies on an async implementation that’s also 1.0…

I agree that Rust is very attractive, but it’s hard for me to argue for Rust against Go’s stability if you can live with Go’s more limited syntax. If Rust could promise the same stability as you’d have writing a JSON API or HTML-templates website in Go, I’d start picking Rust for new projects.

My perspective, to be clear, is that the heisenbugs likely still exist in Rust servers but have been mostly ironed out in Go ones. I’m reminded of Hyrum’s Law - https://www.hyrumslaw.com/ - under the assumption that as libraries hit 1.0, their behaviour can be more reasonably relied upon than pre-1.0…
I don't think the core point does stand.

1. To deanonymise a hidden service connection you need to observe the traffic of all of the nodes in the circuit.

2. OK, let's say your adversary controls all of the nodes in the circuit and deanonymises the endpoints. Now what? You're no worse off than you would be if you weren't using Tor in the first place, so it's not an argument against Tor at all. All it's saying is "the absolute worst case of using Tor is no worse than the best case of not using Tor".
> Why would that be? Who would want that and has the ability to exert such force?

Essentially every country ever has desired to have an "unbreakable" cipher for its own use and breakable ciphers for everyone else. Only in the modern era has the general cryptographic security of civilian communications become a concern.

You can't prevent other nations from independently implementing or inventing better ciphers, but in the modern era where only a limited number of vendors implementing a given technology exist, those vendors are constrained by export restrictions in their countries of origin.

"In April 2020, a whistleblower complaint by former Head of US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) Rick Bright revealed concerns over providing funding for the further development of molnupiravir due to similar drugs having mutagenic properties (producing birth defects).[4] A previous company, Pharmasset, that had investigated the drug's active ingredient had abandoned it. These claims were denied by George Painter, CEO of DRIVE, noting that toxicity studies on molnupiravir had been carried out and data provided to regulators in the US and UK, who permitted safety studies in humans to move forward in the spring of 2020. Also at this time, DRIVE and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics stated they planned future safety studies in animals.[5]"

It's somewhat disingenuous to link only clang/lib/Parse/Parser.cpp--a lot of the parsing code isn't in Parser.cpp, but other files in lib/Parser. Look at the entire directory, and you get about 1 commit per few days (somewhere between daily and weekly).

Are you going to deploy more copies of your binary than rows in your database? Or points in an event stream?

Plenty of problem spaces still wish to repeat the same value many times and give it a more human readable name when necessary and not coordinate a shared DB connection or even a dynamic string pool.

Stealth Mode is meant to give you some buffer against competitors who agree with the kernel of your idea and want to copy it. If the idea is obvious, someone else might beat you to market while you're faffing about. If there is no danger of a competitor having the same idea, then customers might not 'get it' either, at which point waiting has cost you a fortune.

Yes, this is very true. The Crown plays a useful and vital role in the Westminster system. (I'm in Canada.) It can't just be tossed without something to replace it. But I'm not sure the monarchy offers anything not provided by a nonpartisan and mostly ceremonial presidency, similar to Ireland or Germany.
This is a good reminder of just how young of a field compsci still is. Sorting is one of those fundamental things you don't usually think about these days in your day-to-day work. Unless you're an academic, for most practical uses it's a solved problem. Of course there are edge cases like sorting all of Twitter and whatnot, but for most situations, that holds. It's then both exciting and refreshing to see new work still being done on these fundamentals, pushing the envelope where you might've not even known there was anything left to push.
