I’m amazed at how much faster Rider seems to be than Visual Studio at its own game. Intellisense is way slower than the C# IDE made by the people who make Resharper. Resharper in visual studio is always really slow though.
I am really hoping TC-39 starts considering optional static types (similar to python), using a simpler syntax then TypeScript (e.g. no enums). However I don’t have high hopes they will any time soon.
What would be an inconspicuous name in this scenario? Unannounced typo-squatting is at best a greyhat activity - as the urban legend goes, better to be caught shagging the sheep than rustling it.
I completely agree. The irony for me has been how immensely helpful toolchains (PRs, awesome unit test harnesses, powerful CI systems, etc etc) actually kind of make things worse and support everyone missing the forest for the trees.

Everything has become dislocated from reality. "Issues" and "tickets" does not capture actual work to do. Unit tests and CI do not capture whether something is truly functional. Peer-reviews do not mean a given commit is stronger than otherwise... At the end of the day there's just no replacement for good judgment and experience, despite all the fancy tools that want to try to "gamify" it.

Not sure what you mean -- but I've never used Qt. I gather it's a controversial topic because I've heard exactly the opposite feedback than yours about it.

Still, I bet if more people used it then its community would have an incentive -- or a kick in the butt -- to quickly fix its deficiencies and it could become the de facto native GUI toolkit? Who knows.
Thanks for the suggestion, I have done that. If you know of other communities that might enjoy the article, please do feel free to pass it along anywhere you like.
Indeed. I am sincerely confused as to why people are so enamored with this.
Absolutely - AWS is this generation's IBM, no one was ever fired for buying services from them, so to speak.

US citizen here who followed the situation: they're not crying wolf.
Which is a performative act of solidarity with warehouse workers. What happens if those in right-to-work states unionize and get sacked? Biden isn't shouldering any of the risks they are.

Actions matter more than words. At this time, it's not even clear if Biden will go to the mat for a nationwide $15/hr minimum. That would do far more to incentivize Amazon to improve working conditions, as its $15/hr starting rates would no longer be competitive.
Short article, felt like what has been said before numerous times. I will opine why I was hesitant at first. The biggest reason was I didn't want to start writing a bunch of not-js (as in not a "strict superset" of js) and also having to deal with writing my own type definitions. I remember trying things like flow and reasonml and got quickly annoyed bending over backwards to use non-reason/flow code.

It seems like as of 2021 though that typescript has sort of won and the community has done great work in covering virtually every package I seem to use. npm helpfully points out which libraries have typescript definitions or a @types/<package>.
I'm still not entirely sold on the strengths of strong typing in terms of bug avoidance, but the IDE like features are enormous. For me personally I see typescript more as a forced, never stale or mostly-incorrect, JSDoc.
Two kinds of interior flooring trends in the house
In the field of home decoration, we think of the floor covering from the architectural construction phase, especially when it comes to surfaces that we do not want to put carpets. With that, homeowners find it very difficult to choose the type of coverings to consider in the home.
Ask HN: Are new graph algorithms actively developed
I don't mean traversal ones like bfs and dfs but ones like matching, shortest path etc. I suppose algo will be developed only when a problem is found that's not solvable with preexisting algo but I am really curious. Reading graph chapters in CS textbooks looks like reading Newtonian physics where everything is settled.

Ah yes, the teacher who only listens to their students' feelings. The greatest wisdom of all comes from letting a bunch of kids steamroll you.

This is the issue. What teenagers think about someone should not be a field of landmines. Teenagers are constantly whiplashed by emotion, easily offended, self-important, and constantly trying to impress and one-up each other.

The last thing we need to do with teenagers is shut up and let them speak. Yet now we've given a handful of them the power to fire someone based on their feelings. What message does this send?

I use type annotations in Python no matter what. It really helps skim the code faster and mentally understand what values I am expecting. Its very useful to know which var is a List[dict] and so on.

I don't like TS because javascript is just a silly language to do anything serious with (besides front end), and its so stringent it takes forever to write quickly.
I figure this is because they're trying to make it accessible. As a somewhat mathematically literate non-mathematician I doubt I'd get much out of the real formulae that stump today's researchers. Quanta do a good job at dumbing it down enough to make sense to someone like me without making it completely empty. More specifically, Erica Klarreich does a good job of it - she seems to write most if not all of the Quanta articles that end up on the HN front page.

If Chinese companies place servers in US, then these servers would just be a proxy to feed data to Chinese servers.

To each there own, but I think China will have to fundamentally change at this point for me to have any trust in any Chinese companies. Just look at Alibaba. If they are not safe from CCP influence, then it is safe to assume that all Chinese companies are just shells, or under influence of, the CCP.
This is an amazingly refined definition.
I see the ideological foundation for a theoretical 51% attack more aligned with causing mass disruption & chaos than some kind of financial gain. Yes, it would likely be detected. But it would undermine BTC, lots of people would lose lots of money, lots of businesses would go under, portions of the global banking system would be disrupted and likely pushed back to more centralized alternatives. The most likely threat actor for such an attack would therefore be a nation-state.

China is the only country pushing that kind of hash rate at the moment, so we should analyze whether the move would be beneficial to them in order to determine the risk.

Honestly can you even trust something like an HN comment? How many times do you see someone spouting corporate-favored opinions as if they were truth? Sure, they could just be delusional libertarians, but there are times when it stretches credulity.

Sounds more like HN users.
Do these people also like to be tracked all the time and have their data sold to third parties who use that data to manipulate the people?
I remember those times. To be fair though, there wasn't much of anything else back then...
> The RAD750 has a 150nm to 250nm minimum feature sizes, a Ryzen Zen 3 chip has a feature size of 7nm,

Yup. And while the transistor sizes haven't really shrunk by the 35x that this suggests, they've still shrunk by a lot. And, of course, the area has shrunk by this amount squared.

> causing all kinds of interesting and exciting problems

Sometimes super exciting. Latchup can turn the whole package into a white-hot parasitic transistor connecting Vcore to ground at low impedance. Rad-hard variants can largely eliminate this possibility.
>Sad to say, $200k is not middle class. $300k is the line, nowadays. Very few of us are middle class, in the sense that our grandparents could be even on a regular wage. That is, there is essentially no middle class in the US anymore. Income is distributed strictly bimodally.

If you think <300k/yr is not middle class, I think we are coming from such different places that we cant have a meaningful discussion.

In practical terms it dilutes the value of 4 and 5 star reviews for other restaurants. There's some cognitive dissonance involved when McDonald's gets a 4.6/5 and a mom and pop haute-cuisine restaurant gets a 4.6/5 as well. These are two very different dining experiences but they are being judged using the same system and feels inaccurate.
I think this is a rosy-eyed view. Money is a formalised manifestation of debt, which previously was an informal system of reciprocity and altruism. But formalising this debt with financial and monetary systems destroyed the altruistic part of the arrangement.

Graeber explains how money was created by states to enforce its authority and basically coerce people into participation. The anonymity of monetary debt and the fact that the system is controlled by the "powers that be" make it kind of the opposite of altruism.
Is it really getting this easy to create a shill account and bot it on hnews?
DP does not require buffering the entire frame. Data is sent as "micro packets". Each micro packet may include a maximum of 64 link symbols, and each link symbol is made up of 8 bits encoded as 8b/10b. The slowest supported link symbol clock is 1.62Gb/s, so even considering protocol overhead there are always millions of micro packets per second.

If the required video data rate is lower than the link symbol rate the micro packets are stuffed with dummy data to make up the difference, and up to four micro packets may be sent in parallel over separate lanes, so some buffering is required, but this need only add a few microseconds of latency, which is not perceptible. Of course it's possible for bad implementations to add more, but the protocol was designed to support low latency.

Such a horrific, unproductive use of energy is definitely a bug from a scientific perspective, maybe not for a financier.
To answer your question about tape and cable ties, BestBuy will offer rewards points for writing reviews and sometimes offers bonus points for certain products.

Im sure they're also doing some review cleaning like Amazon does where if the review is negative they will moderate it more aggressively. After all, badly rated products hurt the entire storefront so it is in their best interest to keep "bad" products off.

But that said I still will trust BestBuy over Amazon. I know items from BestBuy are not being co-mingled with potential knockoffs and returns are pretty easy for items that are terrible.
There’s plenty of string libraries, although ultimately no answer is perfect. It’s totally OK to use the libc string routines when learning C, but it would be good to keep in mind that it is not necessarily easy to write safe and correct software using it.

(Languages with more advanced string types and slicing mechanics are not impacted; C++, Rust, Go, etc. They do have their own issues of course.)

Nickelytics – Building the future of out-of-home advertising
>Which people are using it inappropriately and corrupting it?

Journalists who misrepresent the results of a study to get clicks. Companies that purposely design erroneous experiments to get the results they want (a la the tobacco example elsewhere in this thread). Individual scientists who corrupt their own studies or falsify data to advance their own careers.

>Also, science, the classical definition, has no meaning on its own. It’s simply way to describe reality. It’s usually up to engineers and people to put into practice.

This makes no sense. Science is the process of refining the model of the world by testing hypotheses by performing experiments and then revising the model as new data is collected. This is in contrast to something like religion, where the model is not to be altered regardless of the data.

well #1 would be Charles Hoskinson and his history...

but more meaningful opposition would be in why use a DPoS network now that we can have PoS networks without the delegation?
if you value decentralisation and think it has a future why would you go for a DPoS network that can so far just send tokens, there are better dpos networks like cosmos or polkadot, and ethereum is moving to pos. What is cardano actually (still attempting) to solve that hasnt already been solved by polkadot/cosmos?

Why use haskell as the contract language? do you think in the limited pool of blockchain developers there are many people are wanting to write haskell? and that they are going to port all the existing tokens/defi/contracts made over the past few years to a haskell+utxo model? who is expected to build on this. in 15 years of dev work ive met a handful of haskell devs, they are all in academia and dont make production software.

And alongside that, and why i refer to it being pumped, is that it is getting so much publicity but barely being used. i just looked at the block explorer and in the past ten blocks three are empty and the rest have a top of 10 transactions being processed.
Where are the supposed network effects driving it? shouldnt the blockspace be in demand? especially with the recent price surge, if the price is going up but it has empty blocks surely that is a bad sign?
Show HN: Student Loan API – build anything in student loans
Just had an Amazon vendor offer me the full value of my purchase (in Amazon gift cards) to change my review from 3 stars to four. On one hand, it's great customer service, but on the other the product is still really a three star product.
good points. maybe that makes all the difference between Doordash compared to Google/Yelp, where McDonalds is more along the lines of 1 or 2 out of 5.

it means Doordash ratings are useless for discovery, but if you already know the restaurant, it might have utility in terms of delivery.
Anyone knows a good replacement?
I agree that getting more people involved (by crowdsourcing or other ways) will be beneficial to the project. But it'll depend on how the effort will be organized.

My experience with the website is that the original uploader can edit some part of the "metadata" (not all) of the uploaded document like title, description, topics/tags ..., but they can't move it to a different collection (initially the document is uploaded the "community" collection).

If they want to put it in a different collection they have to contact archive.org's staff.

Sometimes the staff notice the new files and move them to the correct collection or even create a new one for them (the latter case happened to me).

My First Week of Librem 5 Convergence
I think just today (or yesterday), Twitch had to backtrack on a statement celebrating "Womxn's History Month"

For the understanding of the 90% of people who didn't take Gender Studies in an elite coastal university (like I did), the term "womxn" used to be radical and super PC, a way to "reclaim" the word "woman" and both remove the word "man" (yes, as silly as it sounds, serious academics did this) and signify that "woman" as a term was more inclusive than just biological gender, including transgender people as well.

Nowadays, apparently the term "womxn" which was invented and used solely by extreme feminists is problematic and using it can lead to your public shaming on Twitter. Why? Because if you use "womxn" to signify that you are inclusive of non-biological women, then you are implying that the term "women" is not enough for non-biological women, and therefore, you are "othering" them and therefore you are transphobic.

Just imagine a door with a breeze blowing through it. You can feel the wind if you stand on one side. When stuff goes through the door it blocks the air going through the door. You can learn about stuff by putting it through such doors and seeing how much air different stuff blocks.

The Console at the link above lets you do nanotech, by playing games to put lots of tiny stuff through lots of tiny doors, and thus get big data about tiny stuff. With more data, the sensors can get smart enough to be useful for various applications, like detecting viruses or measuring your poo. Truly, we live in the future
Lazy people who don't read an article and comment becomes a proof point that Bitcoin is onto something? That's an extremely weak argument point.

And arguably there's a much larger mob of people who haven't critically thought through any of Bitcoin - who own Bitcoin - but that are financially incentivized to promote Bitcoin or are biased to want Bitcoin to become something.

Convincing yourself that someone commenting negatively about Bitcoin is simply jealous is also a common thing I've seen many Bitcoin owners use to justify ignoring legitimate counter-narratives of a lot of propaganda.
New iOS versions get bigger and run more services and more complex software, so since Apple makes new OS versions available to as many older models as possible, this is inevitable. It's not a problem on Android, because new OS versions rarely make it to older phone models.

That doesn't mean this isn't a real problem. My wife's old iPhone 6 was noticeably slower than even my 6s, to the point where I dislike using it, but she just got used to it until we got her a new phone for Christmas.
What is also strange is when comparing "different" offerings they sometime turn out to be exactly the same product, just with a slightly different picture/text and a (sometimes substantial) price difference.

For products like iPhone cases it feels like there is one factory in China which produces a few different models, which lead to the 200 offerings you'll see when searching for one at Amazon.
That's good nuance; not what I'd understand as "not storing it on their servers", but really the best you could want, IMHO.
Not sure how you got that from the link. The iPhone devices have 20%+ lower latency.

Version pinning does not compose.

We keep treating things like lock files as if there is only one kind of use for code and it's just madness.

"Is peer review also the assumption or implication of their role?

If not, should it be,"

This is what I was responding to assuming you were implying that in general should 'researchers also be paid to review, implied as part of their job description'.

As if to say 'reviewing should go hand in hand with publishing' as part of the normal paid activity of researchers.

That probably makes the most sense but would require a lot of institutions getting on board.
