That is exactly my experience with imperial in woodworking!

I had no previous experience with imperial measurements, my country is metric for over a hundred years, but the majority of information on woodworking on the internet or in print comes from English speaking countries that use imperial units in woodworking almost exclusively.
So instead of trying to translate everything to metric I bought an imperial tape measure and a set of rulers. Since then I switched most of my woodworking measurements to imperial, because it just very convenient and makes much more sense when building items that will be used by humans. Chairs, tables, cabinets, chests, even guitars.
always sue in the UK lol, I love catching keyboard warriors off guard
That's the new, terrible interface. Replace the "www" with "old" in the URL, like "old.reddit.com". If you create an account, you can configure "old reddit" to be your default. There are also browser add-ons that will rewrite the URLs automatically. The difference is night and day.
308 comments at the time of this writing, and no one has talked about the fact that -- given the relative user counts and traffic -- all of normal subs are just a legitimacy-conferring facade over the NSFW content? Reddit is the largest non-MindGeek porn site on the internet. I would guess that the revenue from this side is what makes the whole thing work.
The game indeed includes both hacking and fighting antagonistic corporations.

(Also technically the game is called "Cyberpunk 2077". "Cyberpunk" is both name of the genre and name of the series of which it is a part of.)
I guess for small shops, a steady stream of income to pay a support person's salary is more important than the benefits of hourly billing like fairness and possible higher income.
Being german i had a very hard time figuring out what this comment is supposed to mean. Could you rephrase it so one might be able to answer your Question?
That would take a mind reader. You're simply guessing at intent, we all do.

But the problem in this case isn't intentions, but the mere mention of a word. Like Voldemort.
You might find [CS 6120: Advanced Compilers: The Self-Guided Online Course][1] interesting. I'm slowly working through it, but basically its focus is intermediate representations, optimizations, etc. A link to the course was on the first page of HN some time ago.

If you want to know more about LLVM IR specifically, check this [talk from 2019 EuroLLVM Developers’ Meeting][2]

Also -- and you knew it was coming -- I've written [a toy-compiler of a Scala subset][3] myself :)

I'm new to F# and writing compilers, so I'm sure the code is full of rookie mistakes. Still, it works and does generate assembly and executables for Linux and Windows.

Hello! Author here.

This book is a short, introductory guide for the Python programming language. This book is well suited:

* As a reference material for Python beginner workshops

* If you have prior experience with another programming language

* If you want a complement resource after reading a Python basics book, watching a video course, etc

I agree with some things. But on the other hand people started using npm (or bower) because they were tired of manually downloading and linking dependencies. Of course you had to do like 5, but now that everything is on npm it turns out that those 5 have 10, and those than have 20, so... CSS preprocessors I don't like that much either, but having an autoprefixer is actually nice. The alternative could be in the future to just not use it. Maybe we're already there?

It used to be difficult to get anything done. It was kind of, at first figure out how you will even get this complicated design to work. And every time you thought you had it, it turned out no, something broke in IE. This part got progressively better, to the point that I don't really test in multiple browsers anymore. But as things got easier, we found ways to make it complicated in other areas. And we can do nice things, but sometimes they don't add that much, yet cost a lot in terms of effort.

There is some pain and friction with colleagues that always want to do something new because others do it. When you get older you stop caring about that, and want to keep things simple and replace things that are an actual problem. As others have pointed out, this is the same in any area. We had a discussion what to do a couple years ago, and one colleague was dead bent on using GraphQL for an API. He's good at his job, but the answer to why was basically "because others do it". We didn't and we're fine -- we didn't need it. So you're going to get that pressure to learn new things everywhere. I don't have a good answer to this other than focusing on learning things that will last, even beyond this one area of work. But figuring out what that is can also be difficult.
ns.reddit.com is the same as old.reddit.com, I think ... and I use the Redirector addon to make sure that I never see the new reddit.
In my experience, they're just as likely to be read as a weird typo of mega/giga as not and I've seen SSDs advertised using the wrong prefixes a lot, so there's another layer of ambiguity we wouldn't have if those prefixes had been picked with relative laypeople in mind. Even people who should know about these use 1024 for a kilobyte, and I usually add (1024^3) or something like that if ambiguity is a potential issue. I've been burnt before by trusting that gibi will be understood.

My particular set of anecdata would strongly suggest it's not a very successful standard so far. That "nearest power of two to decimal kilo/mega/giga" is a weird concept in itself doesn't help, and the chosen prefixes are completely non-obvious and alien to me and apparently others as well. I don't think it's going to take hold anytime soon.

Besides, if ambiguity is all there is to worry about, just use 2^30 bytes. No ambiguity at all (I believe) – but it may be a lot less effective in actual communication in lots of situations.
crunchydata has in depth docs on postgres. Look for the pdfs, many have been linked here
> user's expectations for the web have grown astronomically.

Agree with everything you're saying, except for this.

I do user research as a job, which means that it is my day job to methodically interview and observe people using everything from web sites to apps to enterprise software. So far, I've had the privilege of doing so with more than 100 users.

What users expect is things that work quickly and reliably to get their job done, and then get out of the way. It doesn't matter whether they're booking a flight, buying cell phones or working in a complex workflow system.

Nobody, on the other hand, really wants bloated pictures, autoplaying videos, and dozens of different features without practical use - except for marketing people and managers.
Those companies want ML/DL ... today. You don't know what they will want by the time you finish your PhD. Do what interests you especially with a PhD. There will be times in your coming studies where you will question why you should even continue. Loving your topic will help you get through those times. If your goal is only to get a job with those companies guess what? They also like people with experience and you don't get that from a PhD.
Some people will always spite you. It's not open source either (hey, CDPR games might be, soon!).

To be fair here, their reasoning is that Factorio is worth the 25€ and that they don't want people to feel cheated because they missed out on a lower price. I don't think that's bad in any way.
> I'm not sure if you can read the 'accept 634 + another' options as opposed to 'accept 634'

However, I’d say that “accept 634 + another” is clearly opposed to “accept 634 & reject both others”, which is the decision that has been made.
Ahahaha hahaha hahah
How exactly do both parties sit down to discuss their grievances when the incumbent party is clearly banning the party with a different perspective?
“Why did it take you so long to answer my question” , “I just wanted a quick answer why are you charging me for 20 minutes of support”. Human time spent on support is not as cut and dry as hosting resources used, so I imagine it’s easier to not have that discussion. Also 5$ would be like 15 mins of any qualified persons time, so really you’re not paying much.
I wonder what it would be like to develop on an e-ink screen? It would have to update at least 15 frames per second or typing would feel too laggy. I'd like to see a 600dpi 256-colour screen.
Yes, the variable names in the case patterns are treated like variables on the left hand side of an assignment statement. Whatever value they may have had before is irrelevant. A pattern which consists solely of a variable name is a wildcard pattern that matches anything, just as it would be on the left side of an assignment.

Edit: It is possible to use constants or variables in a case pattern, but they have to be dotted names to not be treated like a capture pattern. So this would work for your example:

class HttpStatus(Enum):
NOT_FOUND = 404

match status:
case HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND:
return "Not found"
I don't mean that. I just like to construct any nontrivial query piecewise. SQL is about sets, when doing query you in fact make subsets and combine them using set operations. But the syntax makes this composition error prone and objection.js seems not to do much to improve it.

> Why can't the user just be expected to deal with their contact list?

They are; they let the user maintain their own list of phone numbers for their contacts, precisely like the phone company in your example.

> They require the phone number as an anti-spam/moderation measure and hide behind privacy.

This is (inaccurate) speculation from ignorance. Signal, unlike almost every other phone-number-using-service on the planet, does not block burner/disposable/voip numbers from being used with the service.

Not proving solutions to textbooks seems to be a common theme in mathematics and theoretical computer science. It makes it difficult for those outside of the traditional classroom to learn the material. Instead textbook writers seem to have this adversarial approach against readers, thinking they’ll “cheat themselves” if they look up solutions or attempt to verify their work. Experts make mistakes, beginners would presumably make even more mistakes. Without a feedback mechanism beginners can’t truly know whether their logic is impeccable or if they have a subtle error that they themselves cannot detect. They could easily fool themselves that they have correct understanding.

Due to that I will not recommend this current book to any colleagues.

> My worry would be that this is happening because Amazon, Google, and Microsoft want control over the foundation. (They are writing the checks, so no surprise they'd want to control how that money gets invested…)

I find this attitude surprising. They are paying for development, why they shouldn't have authority to dictate the priorities? If it was SFC, some other interests would be dictating the priorities anyway.
3D positional sound hardware acceleration was pretty much made incompatible with this change.

So yes, they did break compatibility.

There is no reason to treat "social liberalism" as practiced in western countries in 2020 as some inextricable bundle, where each change must be considered "progress" independently. For example, while the sexual revolution tries to ride the coat tails of equal legal rights for women, there is no reason a society can't have equal rights for women without embracing the premises of the sexual revolution. (Don’t forget that the sexual revolution has freed men to do a lot of socially harmful things that burden and hurt women.) Even in the west, it is far from the consensus view that the sexual revolution was a good thing: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/apr/07/sex-re.... Can a society have equal rights without, for example, the epidemic of fatherlessness that plagues the United States?

It’s impossible to deny that socially liberal societies today aren’t doing a great job at one of the fundamental functions of a society: raising children. North America and Western Europe suffer from birth rates so low they’d soon cease to exist if it wasn’t for immigrants from socially conservative countries (Latinos in America, Muslims in Europe).
Well, I still disagree. I've also played lots of games in my life so I also think I know what I'm talking about.

You view roguelikes and roguelites as positively addicting because of your personality and the fact that those games test for the traits you care about, not because they're objectively better than other games that focus on another trait.

You probably don't view MMORPGs where the entire point of the game is just grinding mindlessly for months or years as positively addicting because your personality isn't the type that would like that, but there are tons of people in the world who aren't like you and like the average HN reader who would agree with you.

I've written more extensively about this before so I feel like keeping arguing here might be pointless, but in case you're curious for a more full version of the argument: https://github.com/a327ex/blog/issues/66

Even if someone had access to compare it, I wouldn't put the probability at 0. Windows has a pretty specific way of naming types, fields and functions. Some of those leak through error messages and other methods of introspection. They're have to match on a few very esoteric private fields to support that argument.

I'm a few years older than the author, but otherwise have a largely similar history. But I love front-end! Yes, there's a lot of tooling, but I think the difference is that I see and appreciate everything that that tooling's brought me. It took many years for me to learn what I know now, but given what I know now, there's so much I can do now that I couldn't do before, or would've taken me a lot longer.

Perpetually magnifying the power of a specific word just gives the people who would be hateful anyway a much more efficient method of causing pain, and creates collateral damage among people who are specifically trying not to be hateful.
Dang, I never knew something like this existed! And now it doesn't..

Anyone know of any similar services one might procure?

Asking for a friend...
I don't think the word n-word is an alternative to the n-word. Which is kinda the point I made in the original post - a lady of the night is a prostitute is a whore, it's the same thing, the same meaning, if used in the same context.

Your last paragraph hints at this but:
What someone is really saying when they say the n-word is the word nigger. That's what I understand it as. And, if the n-word is so offensive it mustn't be said at all, in any context, then the word n-word mustn't be used either. For other sorts of words that can be used in a not-so-nice context, usually we deal with this fact by simply saying that it was "insulting language" or "offensive" or that it "bears not being repeated". That's the sensitive way to deal with slurs, I think.
I really hope this wouldn't end up like 95% of other "compiler" classes that usually just focus on parsing, rather than on emitting code, cpu architectures & optimizing

Your numbers are wrong, you can get 'developer support' for $29/mo or 3% of AWS cost (whichever is higher), and 'business support' at $100/mo or 10% of AWS cost. In my experience, the support reps are qualified engineers that take your issues seriously, and it's something that we gladly pay for (particularly since it's opt-in, and you can change your mind at any time).

all those cases are examples of how old institutions have managed to solve issues relevant to the smartcontract case.
But most people don't have access to such institutions, and it turns out building political institutions capable of providing such tools and trustworthy is really hard. Even worse, some people don't have as much trust in longterm longevity of governments.

for all those people, trust-less smart contracts is a replacement of institutions they don't have, available as long as its tech works.

Thank you. I'll give it a shot.
Gamers are such entitled brats. If we go by what the average NES game cost in the 80s, Factorio should be at least $120, probably a lot more due to having significantly more content and replay value.

And I didn't even like Factorio. I'm just sick gamer-brand bullshit.

One of three things has happened:

- the guy has been led astray by internet law and is some kind of "sovereign citizen" or similar lunatic, in which case nothing he says should be taken at face value

- he genuinely has been mistreated, and is now incredibly paranoid of lawyers and unwilling to seek representation

- he got a quote for representation and an estimate of the possible losses, probably in the six figure range, and decided to cut his losses as quickly as possible

Hey, unrelated, but you might want to check how your home page's moving headline behaves on different window sizes. For me at about 850px and 1470px, the words that change at the start of the headline cause the content below to pop up and down every few seconds (FF on Win).
They were almost certainly impacted by the recent sudo bug, considering how they offered cPanel hosting: https://archive.is/PCZ99 I've been trying to make contact with virtual hosting providers over the last few weeks to bring the weakness to their attention, but I've been ignored. cPanel hasn't even issued an update. It's heartbreaking watching websites get destroyed by the bad guys.
Is this legal? Don't they have to notify authorities about getting personal data hacked? And don't they have contracts in place with customers that they can't simply abandon? Just because you're cheap and don't offer support doesn't mean you don't have to follow the law.

> The fact that people like this die due to covid and that you have people who "don't care until affects them" is a sad condition in this country and I'm really past playing nice with even the memory of these fucks......

That is the whole sentence of which you quoted a part earlier. That sentence clearly specifies who "these fucks" are.

> The post I linked contains only a tweet from him criticizing the hypocrisy of allowing big stores to remain open while closing small businesses. Is that hate-worthy?

Is that hate-worthy? I don't think that pointing out hypocrisy is hate-worthy but I see no criticism of hypocrisy in that tweet. There is no hypocrisy, by default, in closing some businesses and not others.

I just noticed something. Ron did the same thing you did. You left out a part of the sentence that clearly show who "these fucks" are. Ron left out what these other small business are. He included restaurants but I don't see how anybody could claim that in this situation there is hypocrisy in closing restaurants and not closing general stores.

Was that on purpose on both your accounts I don't know but lying can be hate-worthy.
Business plan: Undercut Pymetrics by offering a free service. Dominate the market. Then, monetise it by selling optimisation to the applicants.
I dont think that is the claim...

The claim is that on any given case you may find a lawyer that is $100 or that is $1,000,000 for the same case

This is what creates the dual tiered legal system, if you can afford the High priced law firm, that has all the resources and talent to find every legal loop hole you win..

In the modern legal system, often times who ever has the deeper pockets wins.
