Maybe I'm the wrong target audience then. I'm a Java developer and I only dabble in writing some C with GCC or MSVC depending on my OS.

The compiler page has a lot more details than I remember [0]. It says: For beginners you should use dmd, but the next sentence says that LDC/GDC produce substantially faster binaries. So why would I ever choose dmd? What are the trade offs? Compile time? What is substantial? And then when you scroll down it doesn't say what version of the D language spec is supported by each compiler, imagine getting started with LDC and then it only supports D 2.02, when dmd is up to D 2.12 or something.

I guess for me there were a lot of questions to getting started.

Leave a tourniquet on for far too long and you risk losing a limb. And a limbless person will have a much lower quality of life. Likewise with capital controls, it might serve to treat the problem now but it does nothing to tackle the causes and all you're doing in the end is consolidating power for an authoritarian government and crippling your economy for decades to come.

If you mmap'd a file, how do you keep its maximum memory usage to 64KB? I actually don't know the answer to that question. It's definitely not the default. You don't get to control it. The OS does.

> It's fine to fail over to a stream, but often mmap is faster, as I know you know.

But that's exactly the point. You literally cannot use mmap in all cases, either because you just can't or because it's actually slower. And in those cases, you need to fail over to a streaming implementation. And that streaming implementation needs to be fast too. And that's what this benchmark is.

If you submitted a program that only used mmaps, and I sent a stream into that program, it would fail. So then you would need to modify the program to handle streams. And your strategy for dealing with mmaps couldn't be used. So then you'd need to optimize your handling of streams. Which is exactly what the programs in the OP are doing. So in the end, mmaps are a distraction for a benchmark like this, and I suspect that's why the OP didn't bother with them.

Let's say that the youngest you could be (without being some sort of child prodigy) interested in this content is ~8, that would make the youngest person with an account that old maybe 21 years old.

When lives are on the line, it's dangerous to wait for peer-reviewed papers or solid evidence to come out. Think of how many years the NSA spied on everything before Snowden leaked it. There were rumors for years, but no solid proof. It's better to be more paranoid and have good OPSEC.

I'm not saying I don't use Signal, because I do. It would work fine against cops or the federal government as a citizen. But if lives depended on it, it would merely be part of my communications toolbelt.
You're right. My apologies. It is problematic and didn't think of the repercussions of translating my thoughts like that. I am capable of making mistakes, but don't mistake that for unwilling to do good or willfully being exclusionary or being hurtful on purpose.

Right. To claim that Lisp is more flexible than any other programming language is like claiming that you are much more flexible at the atomic level than at the molecular level. Flexibility has its price. It's always a trade-off.

Why is the default always to blame poorer countries?

The US is one of the largest contributors of CO2 in the world. The per capita argument is silly: They're a single, centralised source of pollution. Just regulate it already. The impact would be phenomenal.

As for the poorer countries: How about the wealthier nations that outright stole the mineral resources from us start paying that money back in the form of a solution rather than having their denizens pointing obese fingers at us?

I'm not saying give the money back (would be nice though), but how about spending that ill-gotten gain on progress for a change?
That just won't work. I see your point regarding laptops and mobile phones, but what about embedded devices and things like smart speakers? What's next? Amazon gets sued because a customer can't run Windows Vista on their Alexa. I'm being hyperbolic here but you get my point.
Exactly this.

We have our own personal accounts and then one shared joint account for things we decide to buy together.

When we buy property, we buy it together or if one chooses to buy it alone that’s OK as well.

We also have a loose relationship document that we have created and regularly review to discuss things important to us.

- death
- children
- retirement
- house chores
- parenting
- sex
- commitments

Whatever style of relationship model you have overcommunication and active listening are extremely important especially as it deals with ones feelings, needs and fears.

ALWAYS handle tough conversations the same day (preferably) or week to avoid spiraling negativity and resentment.
Right, plenty of places around the world have seasonal hours anyway, regardless of the DST changes. There is no reason you couldn't have more a of tradition of making similar changes when needed. The benefit of having your regional government declare the change at the time-level rather than the business/school/organization level is universal coordination. But the downside is that you necessarily live with a one-size fits all solution that organizations will work around to suit anyway.

Almost certainly true, but would they pass the coding interview?
That doesn't matter, DST-related events can still break TOTP.

Example: Device is set to the wrong timezone. It’s nearby, but the difference between the two timezones is that one has DST and one doesn’t. DST comes along, either the time changes by an hour when it isn’t supposed to, or it doesn’t change when it is supposed to. The most visible thing that looks broken to the user is not the timezone, but the time. So they adjust the time. The user-visible clock is now “correct” for the next six months as far as the user sees, but the system clock – including UNIX timestamps – is incorrect by an hour. This results in broken TOTP.
First time I have heard of this. I joined, thanks!
Yes some of the tech giants are guilty of this. And some aren't. And also some non-giants are guilty of this. And some non-giants aren't.
This is a possible kick in the nuts for Facebook and Google. It's not so much for Apple or Netflix, for example.

I don't think it's fair to make the grouping "tech giants " here. It's the "ad-giants". It's the companies whose business model is personal information. It's a small subset of the tech giants. In fact, much smaller adtech companies probably have a lot more to lose from GDPR than fb and google have.

Facebook, unlike a lot of online services, would still be able to target ads just because they know what people like without using any information people haven't consented to. A random news website on the other hand has to start showing me (a man) ads for women's clothing because news sites can't be as sure about my gender (or taste in fashion) as facebook is. So as weith so many things, I think the GDPR is just serving to reinforce the position of facebook, not the other way around.
> There was less percentage of covid in his plant than in the state the plant is.

I'm not comparing the plant's infection rate to the state's infection rate. That makes no sense.

I'm comparing the plant's infection rate to 0%, which is the infection rate for a plant that is complying with the law and shut down.

> Teslas are still less dangerous than other cars and im pretty sure tesla drivers also drink less while driving. Its just not more dangerous.

Again, I'm not comparing Tesla safety rate to general safety rate.

In both of these cases, I'm comparing the results to what they would be if Elon Musk didn't do something anti-social and irresponsible.

Testing self-driving technology in the real world using non-professional drivers is incredibly irresponsible. Even a single death caused by that technology is preventable and completely under Musk's control.
Why should they be? Next step is pentesting, which massively benefits overall security.
As others have said, every other request is a 504 at the moment.

But for the platform itself-- pretty cool that you have file separations and visual renderings, going beyond simple code execution. I like it. I tried build something similar on algodaily.com a while back, but found that my audience wasn't that interested in creating tutorials.

Some feedback:

1) I wasn't immediately sure there were multiple steps at first.

2) Execution time is a bit slow.

3) I was monitoring the network calls and saw no requests when code executed -- are you doing this in the client? Just a heads up that there's some security vulnerabilities to be aware of.

4) The UI could use some polishing. Maybe look for a color palette that blends colors together better.

Apple could make it easier on themselves and let us use imessage from the web and relax their ridiculous license for the iOS headers. I don't think it's crazy to say that most people doing this don't actually want to run OSX in a VM since everything about that is pretty unpleasant.
I made a similar piece of software to Hacker News about a year ago and I found what was probably an earlier copy of the source code for hacker news somewhere.

I seem to remember that the score that items are sorted by was a weighted sum of the inverse of the age and the votes. I don't remember if the votes themselves were assigned different values based on some context.

As a history buff and occasional amateur explorer of ruins in the U.S. I think that if a thing that has any value is left lying about humans will loot it. The majority of people don't care much about history at all in my experience. They have their own pressing daily concerns, and one person's sacred history is another's material resource. A fortification becomes a source of building stones, an old barn yields timbers for a new floor, and relics are a source of cash. In New Jersey there is a place where archaeologists uncovered a colonial-era iron furnace and then had to re-bury it to prevent people from carting it off piece by piece.

Given all this I suspect the French will now have no choice but to excavate and inter the remains in the Winterburg tunnel. It would certainly have been better if the location had remained undisclosed, but I think that is really too much to hope for.

>Paul Mitchell spends his days researching WWI; his quiet life in the library can hardly be in greater contrast to the carnage he studies. Until, that is, the present catches up with him in the shape of Dr Audley of the MOD. Why does Audley want to know what really happened during the battle for Hameau Ridge on the Somme in 1916? The answer is complex and dangerous.

This cold-war era spy novel brought some of the WWI archaeology/research to life for me. I was totally unfamiliar and surprised how much remains unknown about these battlefields.
> For example, New York’s social clock closely matches the sun clock in winter during Standard Time: when the social clock says it is noon, it is very close to midday, the sun’s highest point in the sky. During DST, however, New York’s social clock shows noon when it is only 1100 h by the sun clock. People who have to get up at 0600 h by the sun clock in winter have to get up at 0500 h by the sun clock under DST, despite the social clock showing 0600 h. Essentially, they have to go to work in 1 time zone further to the east. This means that people in Chicago have to work during the office hours of New York, and people in Berlin have the office hours of St. Petersburg. Instead of seeing DST as working according to one time zone to the east, one can also think of it as people’s body clocks being pushed further west within their time zone (or social clock). Since the body clock follows the sun clock, these changes can affect our health.

> Although DST has always been a political issue, we need to discuss the biology associated with these decisions because the circadian clock plays a crucial role in how the outcome of these discussions potentially impacts our health and performance. Here, we give the necessary background to understand how the circadian clock, the social clock, the sun clock, time zones, and DST interact.

Sure, but data.table also fits those criteria.
OP here. I don't know if anyone reads old HN threads but thought I'd clarify some things:

1. My scraper runs every 5 minutes, with a randomly-generated user-agent and never sends cookie headers

2. The charts are bucketed by half-hour periods, so even if the headline flips back and forth many times in half an hour, the colors are grouped together

3. Agreed that in the SpaceX situation (and maybe the Cuomo situation) the headlines change because the stories change. But, e.g., in the Meghan Markle situation, the first headline appears _after_ the interview is over. But that's something to watch out for!

And charts like this one[0] look (to me) like a clear example of A/B testing. But would be interested to hear other explanations!

> How to Buy a Gaming PC in 2021 Best Gaming PCs, GPUs, and more

I clicked on this in my Feedly expecting a "how to build" guide, but it's a "how to buy" guide!

For the builders, motherboards seem to have returned to Earth, and some Ryzen 5xxx desktop CPUs are starting to show availability at MSRP. It's only GPUs that still sting (stink?), though depending on what you have now, you may be able to reuse it and wait for GPU markets to also come back to Earth.

Anecdote: Built my most recent PC two years ago with slightly aging stuff... X470 + Ryzen 2700X. Held off on video card and got that one year ago... RX 5600XT. Kind of itching to get an RX 6800 which is nearly double the performance of my card, but $290 is the most I've ever spent on a video card.

RAM and storage are both pretty good value purchases these days!

“Huffman's original algorithm is optimal for a symbol-by-symbol coding with a known input probability distribution, i.e., separately encoding unrelated symbols in such a data stream” -wikipedia

So being pedantic, it is optimal in this specific meaning, but I don’t know about this stagnation.
I'm sure all that is true. That's exactly why competition is so strong in the low end and why it's a race to the bottom for quality and price. The most accessible ways of making a product cheaper are mass production, and replacing the expensive components with something you can mass produce cheaply.

The bar for entry at the high end is impossibly high. And those who are already up there have to offer something that cannot be cheaply obtained. A unique natural taste, the image (and protected brand), tradition, etc.

On the other end of the spectrum you have the cheap wines that have no choice but to try to replicate some of that by artificial means while competing with an almost literal flood of competition doing the exact same. The target there is to stay as cheap as humanly possible while minimally meeting regulation in the food sector, and offering wine-like taste.

See the wine like a battery. The cheapest and the most expensive ones look the same and might superficially act the same. And they'll certainly feel the same if you just test them with your tongue. They're on the same spectrum of products but there's a reason why they're at different ends.

I would expect our spread out nature to contribute to that a lot. We drive a lot (and often environmentally unfriendly vehicles). Our food chain also involves shipping food substantial distances (not sure how true that is of Europe).
We don't use Gitlab CI, but only their hosted git. Just thought I'd throw in our sterling experience over the past three years. We've really not noticed whatever downtime they've had.
I love the thought that went into this proposal and think the feedback mechanism to incentivize legislators thinking more concretely about the future (or give them a means to vote their conscience) is very interesting. I think two concerns haven't been raised yet by other comments.
First, this proposal still doesn't seem to resolve the central problem: popularity or perceived future popularity of a policy are not necessarily linked to them being 'good' for the nation. Two examples: 1) What prevents a firm from buying LFPs close to maturity and running massive public relations campaigns to boost their popularity at the time of the vote? Larger corporations/industries lobby now with significant effect on legislative popularity, so this seems likely. The less confidence a legislator has that the "true" popularity will be reflected at the time of settlement, the more it incentivizes maximizing short term industry rent seeking/regulatory capture/etc.
2) There are a host of issues where I think the electorate is durably trending in a particular direction and that direction is bad. In contrast to your meat example, I don't want to buy LFPs in these because it endorses those views. If I believe popularity beyond the time horizon (eg 60 years) will be very different than before the time horizon I'm stuck with an incentive to buy (and thus lend support) to something I think is bad.

The second concern is: why doesn't this incentivize large wealth transfer programs that benefit the generation at t+40? Rather than create sustainability, it seems like you'd get escalating wealth transfers that would disadvantage current citizens to pay future ones.
I have a 2008 account. I do think HN was a bit better earlier on, but I still enjoy using it.

However, HN is also effectively a monopoly. There's really nowhere else to go to find the same type of discussions.
The argument about increased productivity is a fallacy. Only the primary and secondary sectors have a long track record of increased productivity, in services on the other hands -which represent an ever growing share of the working population in western countries- productivity has been stagnating for multiple decades (in some industries it's actually receding, thankfully compensated by the few industries that have good growth).

Glad that Urbit agrees that they don't need a blockchain. Disappointed that they chose to use one. There are real downsides to using one (currently one of those is speed and another is wasted electricity) and no unique benefits.
Hmm, where do you see that information? I admittedly am not reading the entire article, but this section seems to be in agreement with my original comment. In any case, I'm not sure why we should be excluding energy used for heating from the discussion.

> In 2014, world primary energy supply amounted to 155,481 terawatt-hour (TWh) or 13,541 million tonne of oil equivalent (Mtoe), while the world final energy consumption was 109,613 TWh or about 29.5% less than the total supply.[12] World final energy consumption includes products as lubricants, asphalt and petrochemicals which have chemical energy content but are not used as fuel. This non-energy use amounted to 9,723 TWh (836 Mtoe) in 2015.[13]
