You could say the same about OOP though. Just like FP, OOP doesn't make new things possible, it just makes some things much easier.
The results are better when the products are more common/famous (Nvidia card, instapot) since there will likely be reviews from The Verge or something that rank highly.

It's less common stuff that tends to give you mostly crap.
This comes from my experience building a prototype cli application,
the language itself fells very productive, and the stdlib is robust fast and useful.

Compiling isn't fast. By the language design it won't ever be possible to be in the same ballpark as golang.
It's common for us that our 5k lines app, take >1m to build in release mode as we added more and more dependencies for integrations with different nosql databases (elastic, rocksdb etc).

Using LLVM as backend is great for getting top notch performance, but to generate multiple IR methods for each type signature consumes a lot of time, especially when doing optimisation in release mode builds. I guess it's a similar problem that cranelift is trying to fix in Rust.

Open classes makes it hard to cache compilation results from dependencies / libraries.
Last I checked Mr. Stallman was working primarily in the western/American situation and isn't abiding by those standards by respecting other people's right to be female and not verbally abused, amongst other situations. So why is okay for him to abuse the "culture" which by the way will also get you fired from just about any place that I've worked or kicked out of any group I've worked in.
I've only heard "Molex" used for the connectors for power on (pre SATA) hard disks.
I worked for a newspaper group back in the 1990s. I did all their programming in dBase III & IV LAN. I was putting in 80+ hours a week. I wasn't getting paid squat, but then they wanted to put me on salary (at less than I was currently making) and I said no way I'd give my notice first. So that's what I ended up doing.

They didn't believe me. But I left. After a few months of haggling I went back at $50 an hour on contract. I did this for a few weeks (about 25 hours a week), then started to not want to pay me. So I quit for good. Unless they made an upfront deposit.
Which they wouldn't do.

They ended up spending close to $250,000 on equipment and programmers and still couldn't do what I could. They were duplicating and tripling everything. Wasted so much money. Now I'm going to college for my BS in Computer Science with a specialty in Software Engineering. I'm currently running Windows 10 Pro Insiders Edition DEV and VMware with Kali Linux.
This is based on structured/coded light and as such is basically useless for most surfaces that will not reflect light (think most black things) or very reflective things (think metal). I have an SR300 which was intended for face scans and it works very nicely for humans but I tried to scan other surfaces for a school project[1] and the limitations became obvious very fast.

The only direction we should be wasting time with is lab grown meat.

If you are in high school or above you should also ask, how does reducing methane, which seems like a big chemical reaction change, effect growth.

If growth is reduced by 1%, then you better start cutting down forests to grow more cattle. If it is better then you get to save forests and ecosystems.

Stop cargo culting Global Warming. What you should care about is the environment and people, not reducing CO2 and methane. We need to make growing meat more efficient. (And Jevons paradox's isn't real is just another scripture from the environmental cult)

CSIRO has a good FAQ on seaweed for cattle which they own IP for - https://www.future-feed.com/faqs

Let's say you outlaw encryption, what would be the impact on ransomware criminals? They will continue not following the law and do their criminal things, using "illegal encryption" (aka non-backdoored encryption).

For software, it’s the maintenance task that’s helped by documentation not building. They still need to know how to build but it’s a lot easier with documentation. I know that when we use software packages we all rely on the documentation to understand how to use it and code our desired behaviors. It’s obvious that our own code can benefit from documentation in the same way.
Amazon has built a LoRa transmitter (Amazon Sidewalk) in their Echo and Ring devices since 2017, it seems.

They’re not hiding it though. It’s marketed as something you might want to keep enabled and “help your neighbors” by sharing its location.

- “customer support can still troubleshoot problems even if your devices lose their wifi connection”

- you “support community extended coverage benefits such as locating pets”
Borderline quack in my opinion
The thing that really lends credibility to this theory is that nation states have been suspicious of this from the first few months. These are not ding bat facebook groups but countries that have a fair amount at stake by voicing these concerns and yet they still brought it up. I'm 7/10 that the lab leak theory has legs.

A covered call by definition means you own 100 shares for every contract you sell. Even if you own some of that stock on margin you are not increasing your risk by selling the calls.
Thanks Bryce! Small world for sure. :) Appreciate the pricing comment. We subscribe a bit to the Amazon philosophy around value-generating: i.e. we want it to be no-brainer great value, and for every client that would be fine paying more, we have some who would struggle (given the fragmentation of gov agencies and their widely different priorities/budgets).
what's the point of a contract that's not enforceable? if EU has to resort to export bans after the fact, sounds like someone somewhere didn't do basic due diligence. companies aren't going to deliver just out of the goodness of their hearts.
The world isn't that simple. It also seems a little self-serving to lay the blame for materialism at the feet of women. Someone else might argue capitalism is just a testosterone fueled pissing contest, men competing to see who has the largest...bank account. Both accounts are reductive and wrong.
You can spend $80k a year for 35 years and keep your investment in any vehicle that just barely keeps up with inflation. If that nut achieves just 3% annual gain over inflation, you'll still have the same nut in 35 years...

Syntax wise:
Nim is to python what Crystal is to Ruby

capability wise both are incredibly powerful genral purpose languages

For system language use, Nim is a better choice as you can use it with its Arc GC or no GC at all.

Perf wise, Crystal seems to be marginably faster in most benchmarks. Though at that level the difference isn't much.

crossplat wise, Crystal has no windows support while Nim has.

Tooling wise; crystal IDE tools are pretty far behind that of Nim.

Personally I like Crystal a lot due to its type system and syntax but you can't go wrong with either language.
I doubt it, my guess is it will (understandably) be used as the scapegoat to kill cryptocurrency and/or put it under a central authority controlled by governments.

The article says 10bn was the budget of project Warpspeed not the spend. I also would call into doubt the 3.2bn figure. The UK alone spent 2.9bn pounds on vaccines.

Also compare: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/12/03/9423037...
We had Pfizer and Moderna approved. We had JJ in the final steps. I think there wasn't a huge urgency behind the fourth vaccine when all signs pointed to three good vaccines.
This question (and the one above right now) are good points. GPG isn't really a killer feature right now. I likewise haven't needed secure e-mail in a while. I just happened to notice it when it migrated stuff over. I stopped using my Yubikey with gpg a while back.

All of that said - I'm replying to this message and not the other because there is one use for secure e-mail that may make a difference: DeltaChat. Deltachat uses autocrypt which includes your public key in headers. With autocrypt in place, Thunderbird can still read DeltaChat messages.

I'm not sure if DeltaChat will ever take off in large numbers but it seems like a decent option for secure chat/IM.
Perfect timing! This morning I was wondering what sort of verification service existed for these. Yet again, hacker news delivers.

Hi. SimpleR State makes use of selectors without creating a new entity (unlike atoms in Recoil, for example). It uses the more classic paradigm used by popular libs like React Redux where you just use selectors to filter/transform the "received" state to the format required by the component, and not to "create" a derived state per se. I hope it makes sense.
> Trials often last a year or more and involve several thousand patients.

Agreed. Though not all last a year, and the COVID trials had large numbers of volunteers.

I defer to someone that works in the industry to say whether vaccine trials last longer than regular medicine (e.g. Parkinsons or Alzheimers drugs).

But I suspect that vaccines need less time for trials because vaccines are made using standardised processes that are tweaked to produce the expected responses, vs. novel drugs that have never been synthesized before.

This one [0] in the UK famously went wrong: "The German company that developed the drug hoped it would revolutionise treatment of leukaemia and rheumatoid arthritis.

When we were buying about 8 years ago in the Bay area, we probably wrote 50 offers, all above asking, and finally got one home. It was a total nightmare as a buyer. One home got 40 written offers, according to the listing agent, and sold for 2X its asking price--all cash, no contingencies.
This is not true - if the other party is using a real estate agent, they might refuse to work with you if you are operating independently.

This is how collusion in the real-estate market functions.

* Dealing with sensitive data is their core business, not a side concern. i.e. their customer base is security-conscious enough that they know incompetence on that front will kill their business

* Both of those specific services omit lots of specific identifiers in their data collection, and require you to go out of your way to send truly sensitive stuff to their servers

* By necessity, a technical analytics service gives you lots more control over where exactly it hooks in to your code.
You absolutely can. Eating less calories than your basal metabolic rate (calories burned just to stay alive) means stored energy will be burnt and body weight will reduce.
"To assault" means "to make a physical attack on". You can rape someone or deal harm otherwise without assaulting them.

Thanks for explicitly spelling this out then. This is a pretty standard way of thinking for many neurodivergents. You're just saying "people of your kind cannot be public figures, and if they are they have to be taken down".
This is probably true. There are things definitely less conscious than us. It'll be interesting if it is possible for us to comprehend higher consciousness or if its like a never ending race to the top. Creatures so intelligent they are just beyond our comprehension.

Crystal is one of my most productive language for small project web oriented (Slack bot): a cleanup Ruby with added benefits (performance, type safety, null safety, proper concurrency).

My only complaints:
* compilation speed
* type inference is sometimes not intuitive (class members
* too OOP oriented (no constness, no UFCS/pipeline, no general monad operator,...etc)
> I don't much care if people around me feel...make me feel comfortable

This doesn't seem consistent with the commonly accepted meaning of "comfortable." By their very nature things that make someone uncomfortable are things they care about. If they truly didn't care they would not experience discomfort.

Are there really cultures where inflicting suffering on others is not "within their cultural frame and value system"?

Yes, different failure cases (purely vision can't tell the depth of a plain white wall) but there are orders of magnitude more pixels in regular cameras. Apple's LiDAR produces a 256x192 depth map, but its RGB cameras run at 1920x1440. You get much more detail, but passive stereo is orders of magnitude slower (ToF sensors are 60 Hz, photogrammetry takes minutes.)

They complement each other well, which is the basis of our approach at Abound: combine the detail of multi-view stereo for short-range with the robustness of ToF out to 5m.
> Yes. But given the choice, in non life or death situation. Between sex and food. People would pick way more sex than food.

Ever notice how folks have sex less frequently when they're in relationships and as they grow older? Where the opportunities for sex exist in multitudes? Yet they never stop eating. You can live without sex, you can't live without food. The drive for the two are not comparable.
I’m curious what are some products that successfully do this? I honestly can’t think of any at the top of my head.

To me, more features and ease of usability can’t coexist. There must be compromises. I’ve heard the argument that it’s possible by hiding the advanced features, and I would agree in the short term. But internally, as teams grow and have to maintain multiple documentations noting depreciations, it creeps on the user’s end. It becomes harder to read documentation and there’s also the burden of trying to understand what it’s for because it was something that replaced a previous feature which I don’t have context for.

Please add features responsibly, and stop rewarding new features that seem helpful in a handful of use cases. But who am I kidding here
Only if you know what a filter is and how the condition is parsed.

> No, they use supply and demand for their services to collect 6% commission. And it’s very negotiable, also showing that the amount a real estate agent charges is due to supply and demand.

Actually, no. There is extensive evidence that real estate commissions are not tied to supply & demand due to collusion in the marketplace.

I have found that they want the sale as quick as possible. No matter what side of the table they are on they will never tell you to offer lower nor will they bring up anything that will slow the sale. It is a perverse relationship indeed. They only do the things they need to do to be in compliance with all the regulation that was enacted after people were swindled by realtors enmass.

It is an outdated monopoly that preserves itself by laws they have lobbied for and by bullying people with lawyers. They used to offer an advantageous network effect that we needed before we had stuff like zillow.
Being steady state is what matters about the boivne methane production, rather than if it's natural.

Our problem isn't the steady state processes, it's the growth ones, and we won't be able to solve our growth problems by reducing the steady state ones.
I don't think the "problem" here is bad search results -- I think the lack of clicks is thanks to search results becoming much richer. The "card" style answers that show up more and more often mean I don't have to actually visit the site where the information originated (which publishers despise, for good reason). Take a common search I made last year as an example, "covid king county" -- I almost never ended up visiting the county's coronavirus dashboard because Google had the graphs I wanted in the search results.

I think it's a popular opinion on HN that Google search sucks, but I just don't agree. I used DDG on all my devices for the better part of last year, and bailed when I noticed by g! usage ratcheting up.
The USA negociated more slowly than the EU. The UK signed a research deal before the EU but didn't order until a week later.

The only difference is that the EU remained truthful to the free market while both the USA and the UK put country first closes.

> Crying now it's too late and a trade war can go both ways.

There are no trade wars. Both the USA and the UK have shown themselves to be extremely unreliable partners which will not respect the rules they profess to believe in as soon as it doesn't favor them. That was already obvious with Trump and is only more obvious now.

I fully expect the USA to lose its place as the main global power in the next decade if not sooner. The UK will probably pay the price a lot sooner as the EU is not going to forget and they have no other reliable ally.
...and you asses something by comparison. Having different starting points isn't a comparison, it's a bias. I don't have an issue with people having a bias (we all have our own preferences, our own strengths and weaknesses, and stuff we just enjoy more than other stuff). But lets not pretend it's anything more than a bias if you're not willing to compare things from an even starting point.

Not following. The inspector is generally out of the picture after the inspection, however it goes. If they identify problems, specialized contractors (e.g., plumber, electrician, carpenter) will be contacted to get more detail on the problem. Besides which, inspectors rely on word-of-mouth referrals from real estate agents even if they're always employed directly by buyers. If an inspector frequently blows up deals with overly critical inspections, their referrals will dry up.
@chefkoch: "Yes, but why would that help?"

Most/all of these ransomware attacks use the built-in Windows encryption.
Always read the documentation of your libraries to see if they give any thread-safety assurances - if they don't mention thread-safety, assume they do not have it.

Concurrency in general, is really hard: hard to express and hard to debug - none of the languages I know do it perfectly. However, I like Go's concurrency primitives & tooling the most. Javascript and Erlang are runners up - for the record, the languages I'm familiar with are Erlang, Go, Python, Java, Javascript and C. I wouldn't know where C# or Rust would fit.
Which is exactly why you shouldn't do worry about why until later.
Rust also has a very slow compiler but I also see ex-rubyists using it?
Not necessarily. From the article:

The encryption process ensues over days, weeks, or months, normally progressing through hard drives, attached drives, and network devices. The C&C server decrypts files as they are needed. Along the way, crooks place a ransom note in every folder that has encrypted files; they might also plant other types of malware on systems. During the final stage of an attack, the ransomware uninstalls itself, the thieves remove the encryption key from the infected system and the victim sees a ransom note on the computer screen.

If the encryption goes on over a long enough period, recovery would be a nightmare or even impossible, especially if the tape rotation period is exceeded.
Google has always respected robots.txt and has well documented how to restrict crawling.

I don’t see it as anticompetitive so much as copyright violations. The fact that Google makes advert revenue using this strategy just contributes to damages.

Anticompetitive would likely require Alphabet (and potentially other companies) from preventing users from accessing the original web page (which might be possible but more difficult to prove).
How much are you willing to bet that consciousness is not a computation? What else could it be? If we don't live in a world organized by physics and causality, then it would extremely unlikely life could even emerge altogether. The fact that the world is ultimately predictable makes it more likely we emerge, not less.
Wouldn't the natural solution to this be real-estate agents accepting lower commissions? Or transition to a non-commissioned pay rate?

RE agents historically provided massive value because they were the market-makers. Nowadays, they are glorified paper pushers and it's baffling they're still demanding a percentage of a massive purchase.
