I haven't touched OCaml in a while, but the things it has and F# doesn't that I can remember include: Functors (in the ML sense), camlp4, polymorphic variant types, multiple inheritance, class interfaces.

Things F# has that OCaml lacks: Extension methods, units of measure, type providers, quotations, computation expressions, active patterns, overloading.

Probably most of the F# things could be (and perhaps have been) added to OCaml with camlp4, which is more powerful than F#'s quotations. Versus, F# may never be able to have all of OCaml's ad-hoc polymorphism features. So there's that. But I'm mainly meaning to compare what's actually built into the language.

I have a document for myself where I note down what I believe to be future industries — trying to time the market. In the same way you might've timed the market in the early part of the previous decade by betting on remote working becoming a pretty viable option (hindsight is 20/20 tho!)

Self-hosted for privacy reasons, to me, is like a bomb waiting to explode. Just like covid accelerated our habits around healthcare (Perhaps future generations will look down on those who don't wear a mask when one catches a cold, the same way we look down on those who don't wash their hands after using the toilet... but in the 17th century that wasn't a thing), I believe mass privacy-awareness will come with a major leak/event.

There are some really smart ideas in here, and some really smart assessments of existing policies.

The thing I was most taken aback by was Sam's suggestion to tax privately held land, and capital (as opposed to labor tax).

I would love to have Sam and PG go toe to toe and discuss how Sam's proposal is different from the wealth tax post PG made. I don't immediately see how Sam's idea avoids the "wealth tax compounds" problem (his words not mine) that PG is worried about.

Ask HN: What Are Your Idiosyncrasies?
What kinds on interesting things do you do that out most people don't, even among the HN audience?

I've seen examples range from

- building a log cabin and spending under 1k a month

- running all webpages through text only browsers, not using smartphones

- long term traveling for years in end

- living separately from romantic partners, or polyamory

- watching shows, movies at high speed

- bio hacking, lucid dreaming, polyphasic sleep

And more. It can be anything from tech, lifestyle, relationships or other categories.

> There's absolutely no reason why the client software can't do the calculations that the server is doing to "optimize" cutting...

Well, there is one reason: the cloud is more powerful. A computationally heavy task can run locally, but if uploading to the cloud and sending the results back is 10x faster, most users would probably prefer that. However, the best way to solve that (IMO) is to by default do local computation and have a subscription for cloud access.
For this sort of contractual work they'll probably bill and pay in an algorithmic stablecoin which is intended to track the dollar.

Regardless of the taxable nature of such a thing (which may or may not be a security because it's designed not to change value based on the actions of others) it should simplify the issue by at least not changing wildly from day to day.

Do you run your mac at native res? The default is 900p with pixel doubling (and some fonts at native res). Basically anything other than doubled or native has a performance and battery life penalty relative to those two modes.

This has less space than 4k at 200% (normal for 15") or 1080p at 100%.

I'm not sure how you could have a unifying vision for something as broad and diverse as "the future," or "the good parts of the future," without projecting it down into a simplistic, synthesized work of very fictional storytelling where all resemblance to reality (and consequently all authority) has been sacrificed in favor of comprehensibility and persuasiveness.

In other words, the clearest route to getting people excited about a World Fair involves sacrificing the reason you'd want people excited about a World Fair.

It's not an elaborate insult.

To a much greater extent than in other security protocols, implementation security is a goal of WireGuard. The protocol itself was designed to support secure kernel implementations; for instance, it's designed in such a way as to not require on-demand dynamic memory allocation.

It's part of the premise of the security model of WireGuard that it has secure kernel implementations. If you're building a kernel WireGuard implementation for a major open source OS without taking advantage of the WireGuard implementation design concepts, you're not really building WireGuard; you're building a compatible fork and calling it "WireGuard".

The "ask" here from Jason was for everyone to slow their roll, take the flawed WireGuard implementation out of the tree, and give everyone a chance to make it more resilient. Considering the amount of work Jason had to go through to get WireGuard into the Linux tree, that seems like a very reasonable request.

Instead, the WireGuard project seems to have been put into a position where they had to scramble to fix up an implementation that was being pushed into FreeBSD, as WireGuard qua WireGuard. I can imagine that being a frustrating experience. It certainly didn't generate the most political response ever, but I think you'd be reaching to call it a deliberate insult.

At the FS layer, I think that's better. Makes things simpler for programs. For non-techie humans, unicode can be normalized at upper levels, like the GUI file manager or toolkit library that does save dialogs, etc.

That's if humans being confused because of lack of normalization of unicode is a real practical issue and not just something that can happen but never does.
Great question. We're planning to compile the most compelling vision of the future that we can. We'll shape the content to suit the technologies available, but also need to ensure we paint a picture of where we can go.

Most Fairs struggle with this because the organizing body has no control over the content of most of the Pavilions. By privately organizing and operating it, the new World's Fair will function more like Epcot where we craft the experience pulling in corporations, countries, and ngo's as we see fit.

Lastly, the Fairgrounds are generally split up into themes with each of the companies/countries hosting their own Pavilion. The map from the 1964 New York World's Fair is a pretty good example of this: http://www.nywf64.com/maps01.shtml

To be fair, Einstein changed the world by coming up with two or more hugely revolutionary theories before the age of 40. He became a celebrity after General Relativity. If he hadn't done extra thing after GR and just sat around eating cake all day, he still would've been a fucking legend. On par with Newton.

He deserved his celebrity status and it detracts nothing away from his status as a top notch scientist.
I think he was. :)
Naysayers always complain that these fairs cost too much money and are entirely fluff events. History shows that's not true.

For example, over a hundred years later, Chicago is still making money from the economic, social, and infrastructure benefits of its fairs.
It's certainly not necessary. A lot of apps are literally just the web site packaged up with a call to the built-in browser.

Apps like that are always a little clunky, especially if you want to use native features like the GPS or the camera -- both of which a dating app will want. They are accessible in the browser, but it's not quite seamless.

The experience isn't a forum. You want something a bit more tailored to dating. But it's entirely within the realm of a browser.

So why package it as an app? More than anything I think it's because people expect it. The experience is tuned towards interactions on a mobile device. That isn't a huge difference, but you're trying to compete in a tough market, and they want to feel perfect.

Like the difference between Tinder's "swipe" interaction (left for no, right for yes) versus a couple of buttons. The usability difference is small, but it's iconic. You could mimic it with a browser, but you really want to nail it.

Similarly, having the app right on your front screen rather than as just another bookmark... it makes it feel important. Small things that make a big difference when you're trying to sell an experience.

Experience is critical for a dating app. It's kind of a winner-take-all (or most) situation: the more users you have, the more likely a user will find somebody they want and who wants them. The better it looks, the more likely you'll be the one people want to spend time on.
See that's exactly the thing. We can point to excess today and say "How could that be sustainable" but it seems like the novelty would wear off, no? Like in some hypothetical future where resources are 1000x more available, would people launch 1000 cars into space? It seems unlikely. Somehow I feel like there is some inelasticity to consumption that we just haven't reached yet. I'm not quite sure why I feel like that though.

What Is Cloud-Native Computing?
I agree with you, but for a different reason. I struggle to put a value on how much money he "should" get, since I have no way of knowing how much money his work will save, or make, for Rockstar.

Loading times in GTAO have been slow for years, and despite that it's been hugely successful. People (e.g. me) have bought multiple copies of the game, on multiple platforms, despite knowing it loads slowly in multiplayer. I'm not sure I would have bought more copies, or more DLC, if it were any faster. It's entirely possible that people don't care enough about load times enough to not give Rockstar their money. So how much is it actually worth to them?

I'm not saying $0. I'm not saying $10k. I'm saying I don't know, and I suspect nobody else does either, as of right now. So, for people saying he should get more money, what is the basis for determining that value?
The other half of needing to use a build system that understands the dependency graph like Bazel is that Bazel _keeps state_, so that it knows which part of the graph does not need to be re-built when you push commit B because it was already built in commit A.
For me, it's a minor hassle and I move on. I think for many people, it's an easy thing to rebel against, and generates conflict where there is no need for it.

Instead of people correcting mistaken assumptions about themselves and moving on (which happens to everyone in many ways, not just trans peoples' gender), we have this stupid culture war about the topic.

How do you avoid a situation where companies making ethical choices are bought or outspent by companies (or in fact by shareholders) that got rich by exploiting every profitable opportunity that is legally available to them, including unethical ones?

From the point of view of any particular company the choice you're talking about may well exist, especially where the company is founder-led. But that doesn't mean the outcome you're hoping for can be achieved on a purely voluntary basis.

It may work in exceptional cases though, Apple being one of them.

Using k8s to deploy is easy, setting up a cluster with the 'new' admin command is also straightforward...

Doing maintenance on the cluster isn't. Debugging routing issues with it isn't either, configuring a production worthy routing to begin with isn't easy either. it's only quick if you deploy weave-net and call it a day.

I would strongly discourage anyone using k8s in production unless it's hosted or you have a full team whose only responsibility is it's maintenance, provisioning and configuration
