Dense cities make the problems more visible and makes decentralised solutions less effective, but the problems aren’t inherent. There are plenty of well functioning cities with high population density. And there are plenty of low density urban environments that suck hard.

So It was just a far right wing talk loop. Oh I’m so surprised.
It's the kind of place you can learn some good enemy skills.
I'd love a good literature class where we intersperse classic and contemporary writing. Often times I wonder how much of the subtext I am missing due to my ignorance of the classics. It'd be a lot of fun to read some Ralph Ellison, then a Chang Rae Lee novel.

After all in film, an area I'm a little better with the classics (although not entirely—I have massive gaps), it's really fun to point out the allusions and inspirations. The deep focus multi-narrative comedy of errors that is The Rules of the Game begets the combinatorial explosion of country music that is Nashville begets the post modern family drama of Yi Yi begets the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Or how non-linear editing in Hiroshima, Mon Amour could lead to Petulia.
Redditors are not real people
I don’t necessarily doubt them, but it still just feel off. Why can’t just anyone enter their on-campus program and prove themselves the same way? If they had some more courses focused in certain areas I’d take a more serious look at it though.
Satya Nadella's vision at Ignite: What it means for Microsoft and the cloud
One good thing about the age we live in is that it is easier than ever for readers to discover those “lost narratives” that didn’t find their way into the Canon. The Internet Archive, for example, hosts scans of millions of older books that can be read online and downloaded for free. Among the genres I’ve explored to my own benefit and enjoyment over the past decade have been travel narratives [1], the humor and sports writing of Pierce Egan (1772–1849) [2], and 19th-century novels [3].

The novels, I thought, have been a particularly unfortunate victim of the filter of the “classics.” In the 19th century, they played a role similar to that of television dramas in the streaming era: immersive, commercial, produced in large numbers, intended primarily as entertainment, and ranging in quality from junk to great art. Most have been completely forgotten, but many are still worth reading.

There's nuance to what it mean to "sell one of your tweets". What does it mean to own a tweet? What rights are you selling?

Ignoring NFTs you could define selling your tweet as:

* Selling the copyright to your tweet

* Selling the right to delete your tweet

Digital ownership is a new and nuanced concept that doesn't have good analogues. Ownership through public/private keys has no analogue and also feel absurd in any analogy using safes and keys.

I was pretty clear that it wasn’t possible while maintaining the side quest that your average computer can run a full node, yeah? I don’t think that matters but clearly the core team does. I don’t think any of this matters though. I still don’t think you’ve demonstrated meaningful scale, visa alone supports 50,000tx/sec.
That doesn’t work for lots of people (including myself). If you’re spending a lot of time on details that don’t actually matter for the topic at hand, it takes away mental bandwidth that should be spent on the topic being covered.
Windows Terminal also readily works with tmux and mouse over ssh. It's the panacea.

I said this in another comment. A small open source project I love is https://Nomie.app. Every iteration has been made so the creator can’t see any data. It has been handled well enough that two friends were able to set it up before. Though they used hosted couchdb services to store their data.
What law are you referring to? Prop 47?

There is no law which allows robberies.
I switched from VSCode to CLion (IDEA variant) and its Rust plugin because... well... it actually works for complex C++ code. VSCode requires a restart every 10 minutes while working with a moderately complex C++ code base with some complex template logic.

Since I switched I've really come to like the polish and completeness of the thing. I have confidence that it will actually work, and it almost always does. It's fatter than VSCode in some ways (especially RAM) but that's what 16G or more of RAM on a laptop is for.

There's something to be said about fiction tapping into a zeitgeist, and how fleeting that is. Even if the fiction remains relevant and interesting, it can still lose the emotional resonance it had when it was first released.

I share your skepticism about the "arrow of progress" however, so don't interpret this as an argument against what you're saying, just offering a counterpoint. Many classics have left me cold on reading them, even ones that I recognize are structurally excellent.
Police take reports from victims then what? How do police protect you from a site hosted outside their jurisdiction?

I think tech companies deciding what people can access is the most likely endgame no matter what. People will demand protection. Whether it's a great firewall, a whitelist-only internet, ...or just automated filtering like this, which may be the most liberal option we can realistically expect.
No intent to “told you so”, I hardly care about my reputation reading Apple tea leaves. But maybe this was unwarranted:

This idea assumes that one I am familiar with grep and vim or nano and two that I was using my terminal already. Which can be true or wrong. But, the discussion is not about whats the best way for searching for text in a file set. I am just talking about whats the use case in which I prefer VSCode over IntelliJ.
I tried Terminus but it's built on Electron so consumes GB instead of KB.
Survivorship bias. Specifically, they have generally become classics over their peers because they captured something timeless.

Except anything Bronte related. I can only assume there was some deal with the devil to extend the life of any of those books.
Been following the creators for awhile and very much happy to see them democratizing their difficult skillset.

Most designers -- think anyone using figma -- are effectively locked out of modern interactive and animated visuals due to not knowing hardcore shaders + effective js coding. To get a feel for how hard that is, look at the public timeline of Shirley Wu, another wonderful award-winning designer and experienced js coder, to pick this kind of stuff up. Nodes makes it a lot more accessible, similar to Max/msp for musicians. Once you look beyond the over-claiming, which is clearly nails-on-chalkboard for most engineers and scientists as you are seeing in the comments -- this is a wonderful and enabling project.

Extra impressive is they do not seem to try to 'dumb it down'. They are a consultancy and (seem to) try to use it for their own bespoke advanced installations. I don't know how well this will translate to others, but the success of Max msp and super collider make me optimistic that it can grow to those levels. Cycling 74 supports 20+ employees and empowers many musicians, and as Nodes can be used for commercial art (web+tv ads, music videos, landing pages, ...), I can see them being even bigger.
Valid points, but lest one thinks the canon is just some sort of unanimous, homogeneous cohort of writers, one shouldn't forget that this particular western canon is built itself as a conversation between authors, often contradicting each other, over the span of centuries.

Its value is in the breadth of that conversation and the fact that new authors, whether trying to inscribe their works inside the canon, or trying to break away from it, can hardly escape being positioned relative to it (partly the point of Bloom's "anxiety of influence").

There can however certainly be competing canons, and canons that are more single-minded, and should be recognized as such.
I don't think people will ever use this on serious work. It's not even close to python or javascript, so there is no reason to use this instead of those. You can name variables with english characters or any other utf8 characters (including emojis).

Its not a serious project, i worked on it during pandemic when all of our educational institutes were closed.
The reason it is made vague is because there are people who will set their site up so it technically passes the rules but it certainly does not pass the spirit of what was trying to be done by the rules. By making it opaque they do get to cast a wider net and keep those a$$hats from harming others but they certainly catch other fish with that net.

> For example, Standard requires all string literals be double-quoted. Single-quotes don’t support interpolation but aren’t any more performant, so mixing single & double quoted strings adds a bit of cognitive overhead with zero discernible benefit

The discernible benefit is the reduction of cognitive overhead in understanding if there is any interpolation in the string. At a glance you know whether there are any variables or escape codes to consider.
Yes, i think i can have it support hindi language probably in a day
Albeit, now it makes me wonder how much of the functionality of dolt is possible to be replicated with CockroachDB. The internal data structures of both databases are mostly similar.

You can have infinite point-time-querying by setting the TTL of data to forever.

You have the ability to do distributed BACKUP/IMPORT of data (Which is mostly a file copy, and also includes historical data)

A transaction would be the equivalent of a commit, but I do not think there is a way to list out all transactions on CRDB, so that would have to be done separately.

And gain other benefits, such as distributed querying, and high availability.

I just find interesting that both databases (CockroachDB and Dolt) share the same principal of immutable B-Trees.
My takeaway from Drew's argument is that buying and selling location data was mostly viewed as harmless but now we can see that it's not. This makes yet another case for GDPR-like regulation to rein in such practices.

Prop 47 makes theft, not robbery a misdemeanor. Big difference.
It's hard to overestimate the impact of this technique, though it is 5-10 years too soon. :)

What this does is lets people reason about change in massively multivariate data sets. Like GPT level multi-variate. I look forward to seeing this applied to the state of ML models, as this is what we're going to need to express the complexity of a lot of techs we will all depend on.

There is a casting pearls before swine problem they will need to overcome, as the level of management understanding to interpret and respond to the changes this framework expresses is going to take some years to get people with that level of technical sophistication into decision making positions.

Near term, my impression is it will be amazing for getting funding for scientists of all kinds, and being used in hyper-competitive data fields like americas cup sailing, F1 racing, and spooky intelligence/social media company social engineering analysis, and I could see it being used in a new hybrid of quant trading funds, as any sufficiently advanced data vis is essentially arbitrage. All very rarefied niches with a high degree of autonomy. It may be too cool for making policy or lower level decisions in the near term, but this is super epic.

When you look at the recent history of how data viz has impacted fields, it has always been way out ahead of the industries it served. I hacked around with 3D "coral" graph viz back around 99-01 (early CAIDA stuff) for internet security analysis in govt, and in spite of its incredible analytic power, the anecdata was it didn't get traction because it was unmanageably powerful. However, I think we're just entering a data viz renaissance, and this is the bar. Amazing.

Except the OP even said someone uploaded a malicious file that was put in a place publicly accessible. Google was not being libelous. There was a malicious file.
> People of San Francisco passed a law to allow any robbery under $1000

That’s just not true at all, come on, you’re intentionally spreading misinformation.

It raised the limit to $950 for the felony threshold for simple theft. Robbery is still a felony.

“Prop 47 doesn’t cover robberies, theft by the use of force or fear. It doesn’t cover burglaries,” Gascón said. “If you break into a structure with the intent to commit theft or another felony, that continues to be a felony. If someone breaks into your car to steal even a pack of cigarettes, that’s still a felony.”

Thanks for correction, I was wrong. I've corrected the post.
It's ok, they're going to relocate and keep pushing the same culture with their votes, slowly destroying the next place.

I left 8 years ago, couldn't have been happier. SF is beautiful, but the lack of political diversity (ironic for a city so outspoken on diversity) is what pushes these crazy ideas and policies that will ultimately end up with this outcome.
They’re intelligent, not bright.
Santa Barbara as well. Never thought Santa Barbara would be a place people moved to save money...
We just got done dealing with four years of leadership by a (possibly unwitting) agent of a foreign power, installed with the help of holes in our IT infrastructure. Our sovereignty and capacity for effective self-governance are severely compromised, at this point. That's more important than loss of territory or people, in the long run.
I may as well represent a different perspective here.

I am not leaving San Francisco. It's beautiful here. I'm excited to see it get weirder. I will always choose to live somewhere that is exciting over somewhere that will be the same forever. Everything about San Francisco has always been "temporary." This city is boom/bust, constantly changing. It's interesting, having a front-row seat to the ways that people and culture change over time.

Some of the most interesting, most cherished times for native San Franciscans was the 60s/70s, when crime was way higher than today, there was no real tech presence, and the art scene here was booming. It was expensive then, too. It's probably always going to be expensive to live here.

If you're here, you can probably already feel the city starting to get into the bust times, the times when the culture really starts to get shaken up and things start evolving into something new. It's not for everyone, but for a certain kind of person — it's better than anywhere else.

You probably won't agree with me, and that's okay. I don't expect, or want, everyone to. But the changes I've seen in SF recently — personally, I like them. There's so much potential.

EDIT: The level of hostility in the comments here is a little staggering. Please, readers, consider that others may have a different perspective than you. Obviously, I am not condoning any further human suffering. If that's all that you can see in my comment, consider if the cynicism in your comment may effect others.

As someone that is meticulous about writing neatly formatted code without using one of these. I started a new job where they had a medium sized app that had no style guide in place at all, and wow....some people like to add their own “personal touch” to the way they format and style their code but this was just....wow.

It makes such a big difference when you just set it and forget it. It’s not my ideal preference, but holy hell it’s a million times better then what we had before.
Ask HN: Are you over 40 and looking to learning music?
I have programmed for over 20 years (mainly Python) and after turning 40 (43 to be precise) started learning music with little or no background to playing. I heard that it is good to learn a language after 40 and also heard that music is a language. Hence I felt it would be a good thing to work on.

Pretty soon I realized that music is not just about picking up an instrument and start playing. There are many topics one might need to take side by side to get to a reasonable state.

It has been 4 years now and I am thinking of making some introductory lessons on starting music after 40 and challenges of beginning a little late (nearly everywhere one hears that learning music should start as early as possible). The topics I am currently thinking of covering are shown -- https://www.viewpedia.org/musicCourse-map.png

So I wanted to know from Hacker news community, if there is interest in such a course and if there are already courses like these out there that are specifically tarageted for programmers, engineers, etc... over 40 to learn music from the ground up.

Note : https://www.viewpedia.org is a website I am building to try and collect youtube videos of all Nepali dances and music as I am very much interested in folk music and culture.
Not intentionally. I corrected the post before you posted.

It's not really tighter coupling than in any other ultra portable laptops. It's just located on the package instead of on the mainboard, because they can. Shorter traces are better, but they don't magically make an incredible difference in performance. The newest x86 laptops run >4000 MT/s just fine through the board. Overclocked desktops run more through a socket, a big ass board, connectors, and full size DIMMs.
One handy idiom I like to use after typing out a long command that I might want to save is

> I just find it so ironic that San Francisco is a bastion of liberalism, yet in Tenderloin every day for decades tech bros step over needles and homeless people on their way to make their 200k a year

Why's that ironic? Isn't that exactly liberalism? Accepting and tolerating different people behaving in different ways and not forcing them to change? Individual rights and responsibilities, limited government intervention, freedom of way of living, rejecting authoritarianism and the nanny state?

I feel like tons of people don't know what the word 'liberalism' means.
I never understood why companies paid the living costs of SF instead of locating in the Midwest or smaller cities. Someone told me it’s because SF is where all the talent goes so it would be unwise to locate elsewhere.

Maybe COVID has revealed that geography is not as important to success as people believed.
Okay thanks Jira, sometimes people are just making stuff to learn, or explore, or experiment, or share something that addressed their own needs or wants.
I've been having pretty bad luck with autocarrot lately (yes, my phone has learned that word). The word "the" has come out as all kinds of weird things that barely resemble what I meant to type on my phone. It seems partially age related, as it seems to happen more often the older I get.

For the graphically oriented, TextMate has had columnar cursor and clipboard operations since 2005, IIRC, and recent versions of Xcode also have a good implementation.
There is no chance SF will change in time. It's just not how the city works.

I can imagine it gets lucky, and things fix themselves.
Last I checked, California cost per inmate was more than double the national average. Interestingly, from what I remember, 20 years ago the same cost in California was about national average.

California should investigate contracting the prison service to Oklahoma: Oklahoma spends per prisoner something like a quarter of California spends, so California could save lots of money this way, and Oklahoma would make a lot of money, a great example of positive sum trade.

Of course, that’s not going to happen, because California rulers don’t want to incarcerate all these people, and from this perspective, high cost is a feature, not a bug: it helps in arguing against incarceration.
