Yes, I hate that motivation. More trivially there are people who enjoy baiting and winding other people up. Why?

I don't know. However I think I know the reason it's permitted to exist: because it makes its victims more resilient. The troll knows this at some level so his conscience is relatively untroubled.

"That is why Madoff ended his life in jail"

That's an interesting point and probably true. The identity of your victim matters as much as the crime. It isn't like a serial car thief would receive the same sentence.

I've always wondered if jail was appropriate for purely financial crimes. Maybe simply pauperizing people is the right answer and keep them pauperized from some time.

Just imagine a prison system that doesn't contain financial criminals or drug cases. Transfer a certain amount of punishment to Singapore-style caning (probably a better mind-modifier than 6 months in the county clink) and you could shrink the whole industry to a tiny fraction of it's current size.
Society made the choice that stupidity should not come with a death penalty if we can prevent it. We will send several extremely highly trained people in a rescue helicopter to save a pedophile alcoholic in a car crash on that principle.

This may lead to more people doing very dangerous things, but this is a choice society has made, and frankly I think most of us have done things at one point or another we got away with only because we were lucky.

Some people take risks driving too fast, some people take risks having sex with more people. Why should we help the first group but not the last?
> Plenty of them who tell you from their own initiative, quite quickly

I wonder what are ways to trigger people to show off they have such opinions, during a job interview, but not come off as sexist oneself (in case instead they're kind and good judgement people)

> Linda Smith, 35, was allocated a hotel room at the end of November, grateful to have a place to shower and a bed in which to sleep. But the hotel has a 10pm curfew that she consistently has to miss if she wants to earn enough money making DoorDash deliveries. “I started working for DoorDash to get some kind of income to follow the steps to get permanent housing,” Smith said. “I tried to talk to my building manager about it and he said ‘nope, if you’re not back by 10 o’clock, you can’t get back in until 7 in the morning’. So what else can I do but pitch a tent?”

By what logic does this make any sense?
I think it might affect some languages more than others - perl is just line noise in any language, but I could see SQL "dialects" in various languages.

But even then I feel that in that case non-english speakers might have a bit of an advantage as they don't assume things about SQL because it doesn't look like their native language.

You can yell about it, concoct vindictive policies to punish people whose behavior you don't like, dress up these policies by describing them in purportedly scientific economic terms like "subsidizing," "externality," "free rider," etc., but ultimately, this is a futile position to take. People are going to do what they want.

If the effect of peoples' real aggregate behavior creates a negative effect that you might suffer from in the future, e.g. breeding antibiotic resistant bacteria, then the more effective position is to STFU with all of the moralizing and support policies that actually work, even if you have to pony up a bit to pay for them. It's cheaper for you in the long run -- you're not just paying to support risky behavior, you're paying so that behavior that is going to happen anyway doesn't put you at risk in the future.

Your options are to be angry today and sick or dead tomorrow, or to let it go, support effective policies today, and get a better shot at a successful tomorrow. Yelling at people doesn't work.
I agree regarding magic, but I've struggled to find the balance because if you have copy/pasted boilerplate, it's much harder to upgrade major versions because you have a lot of stuff to update/review. If you've modified the boilerplate, it may be impossible.

How do you balance that?
Not GP, here is my thesis.

Right now, on coinbase, rate of bitcoin purchases paid in dollars > rate of dollars purchased in bitcoin. Anyone who wants to exit bitcoin today is getting dollars from people buying into bitcoin.

When this changes (for whatever reason), coinbase and other exchanges have a limited capacity to buy back bitcoins for dollars, assuming they would even want to do that in the middle of a run on crypto exchanges.

If bitcoin was a viable currency, then people buying bitcoin today would never want to trade it back for dollars. But that’s not happening- everyone still buys groceries, coffee, gas, tools and computer software with dollars. A run on coinbase is a problem when bitcoin is an “investment” and not an actively used currency.

Finally, Monero has shown that there is still plenty of room for innovation beyond what bitcoin currently implements. If crypto currencies are the future, already Monero looks like a more viable option than btc (note that all the illegal stuff that used to happen with btc is now happening with xmr on the dark web). It’s very possible that even Monero isn’t the final incarnation of the ultimate crypto currency and something even better will replace it one day.

A new crypto doesn’t threaten people who want to transact with that currency. Everyone on the darkweb markets switched from btc to xmr and business continues as usual, and it will continue even when the next evolution arrives. But those who see it as a store of value are at the mercy of everyone else buying that currency more than how much everyone else is selling- a classic ponzi scheme.
> HN users shouldn't be downvoting due to disagreement or personal feelings of embarrassment

FWIW, this has been debated several times recently, and generally some one ends up quoting some PG comment about how downvoting as disagreements is fine.
In the examples I saw, I never saw one that did a "join". I guess I'm surprised that they positioned this as a replacement for SQL but gave examples like detecting if something is prime. Might be useful, but I didn't get a good sense for it by reading the article or nearby docs.
You can have a lot of different partners between tests. Seems like a huge gap.
With a code size reduction like this, I'd expect an icache hit ratio improvement. But to your point - do we have to add more trampolines to critical paths? If so it might not be a net performance improvement.

The fact that so many other architectures enable it seem to hint that it would likely pay off for arm-32 too.
Tell that to Libya.
I'm not sure I understand the benefit of this. With a growth factor < 2, you have a chance of getting back chunks of memory that were previously used. That doesn't affect fragmentation / cache hits since all your data is always in the current chunk. What am I missing?
Thanks for the feedback. I think there are many different types of magic. In my (biased) opinion I think the code generation we do is much more on the side of "how to do this is obvious but annoying" rather than on the "I don't know what's happening" side.

As for platform vs framework, my realization is that the traditional separation of frameworks/libraries from infrastructure means that it's almost impossible to improve many parts of the developer experience.

The annoying parts of building backends and distributed systems come from the integration between the two. Setting up databases, secrets, and so on all require bridging that gap. Another big area that we're investing in is providing insights about how your application works at runtime, in production, directly at your fingertips when you're writing code. That's also not something you can do without integrating across that gap.

As you pointed out in the edit, you can absolutely use Encore with your own cloud. We're working on making the deployment options much more flexible, but it's very much not another "let's make an infrastructure tool and then charge a premium on top of your cloud bill to manage it for you".

Our business model is much more about aligning the incentives with the developers. We want to provide the best developer experience out there, and by charging for that as opposed to for infrastructure, we'll happily invest time to reduce our users' and customers' cloud bills, rather than just selling them more servers they don't really need.

Regulation on a European Approach for AI - Leaked Draft
The "conservatives" seem to be prejudiced against casual sex behaviors for the wrong reasons: religious dogma, moral panic, personal bias etc...

The dollar cost of casual sex culture is not a reason I have heard cited as an argument against casual sex in pop conservatism. If you want to get into what costs society a greater amount, gay men getting syphilis is going to be way farther down the list than people having large numbers of children. We heavily subsidize that form of sexual activity.
To be clear, when using something like household consumption expenditure, Japan and the subset of European countries that match up end up looking quite “poor” and have been for some time, with the gap IIRC increasing.

That e.g. personal health costs are included in there obviously, uh, muddies things.
Private schools have always found seemingly-authoritarian measures to induce their students into proper thoughts and acts, from dictating how they dress, how they associate and date, what substances they may not use, perhaps how they worship as well.

If a school is trying to direct it's students in something other than its core competencies (of education and maybe athletics), you know it's going to be nonsense. This latest iteration of private schools wielding wokeness as a cudgel is likely to be no different.

Show hn posts are already self-promotion so isn't it reasonable for other people to also be able to promote similar things they've created?
Money goes in, with the promise that you will get more money out at the end. While this works in some cases (e.g. investing in a business that produces value), in this case the only other money in the system comes from other people buying into it. Therefore, I believe bitcoin to be equivalent to a ponzi scheme.

Implicit in this is the assumption that bitcoin does not provide value in itself, which is another discussion altogether.

Well, if they've paid it on time, they would have had an ability to use it. :)

Generally, taxes for public services are paid even if you don't use them — it's the nature of the beast. Many people with decent income in Serbia almost exclusively use private healthcare because of the annoying see-a-GP-to-be-scheduled-to-see-a-specialist-in-several-months dance, yet they are obligated to pay for it.

But sure, it still feels bad for whoever has to pay (it's like a car loan that you want to pay off, and you still owe more than what the car is worth at that point: feels terrible, but that's your legal obligation).

That's still not a Ponzi scheme unless you are also lying to investors by telling them that the returns are coming from some kind of business venture or something. Investors willingly speculating on commodities because they think they will rise isn't a Ponzi scheme.
...which is an entirely valid criticism of existing studies - unlike GP's post.
Maybe so, but let's be honest. The global pandemic is what caused the shift to WFH for companies that never even considered WFH as viable. Without that artificial push to WFH, the run on devices would not have happened.

Some things can be left unsaid, and still the meaning is conveyed just the same. However, there are people that are unable to read between the lines and need things spelled out explicitly for them. I'm sure those people thank you for clarifying the point.
I love that these type of apps are popping back up. However, I fear that the RIAA is going to ruin all the fun like they've done in the past. I used to run a site in which we just played random music with no ads/no revenue. We still got a cease and desist letter giving us no choice but to shut it down. I get why they exist, but they are more about stomping out sites rather than working them to figure out a path that is lucrative for everyone involved.
I wish people would stop saying things like this. Nothing against you, but no, pair programming is not the best way to learn. There are various learning styles and people fall in diverse ways to learn best. I hate visual and social learning. Just doesn't work for me. Youtube videos and pair programming is just the worst thing you can do for me if you want me to retain any information. While some say there is 8, others 4, others 6, (mainly some divide some items in 2 vs 1), people are different and learn in different ways. Heck, just the amount of teaching styles/methods should be a good hint that there is no size fits all when it comes to learning.

Why would you use a blockchain? Google “verifiable claims”.

I am talking about a completely private and voluntary MECHANISM to have a way to PROVE that you went to a clinic for X and got result Y. What cultural and subcultural norms arise from that is anyone’s guess but why not have that OPTION available? Right now every clinic has its own incompatible way to prove to yourself — and no one else — the results of a test you took a lot effort to get.
How is it the opposite? His claim is that women lack confidence, something I’m confident is false. Even giving the benefit of the doubt - that men are simply “more confident” - is sexist and frankly untrue, which is what I said originally. It’s people like you, and him, that make it difficult for women to with these damaging, blanket assumptions that you just take to be true.
You’re arguing we should move further in the wrong direction.
I started learning programming before I could speak English well. A programming language using English words isn't a barrier in any way. Those words aren't real English words, they are symbols. Instead of "and" you could very well have "/\" and it wouldn't make the slightest difference. As a non-English programmer you don't think of those as words, just symbols. And that's accidentally closer to the truth and probably even moulds your mind into a shape better suited for such an abstract task. Using "if" and "else" neither requires, nor is made easier by knowledge of what those words mean. (At the time when I learnt it, I knew what "if" meant, but not what "else" did. It didn't bother me in the slightest.)
Makes me wish I had a global enough reach to troll the Singaporean government.

I feel you on this. It's weird having to balance things between passion and necessity. Sometimes, I feel completely disconnected from what I work on as a career; I then contemplate what I'd like to do, and I'm either up against much lower pay or not caring about anything enough to want to do it. In my case, I probably need a solid, real vacation. Usually when I get some rest I can find some passion.

It's a struggle, and I think very few make it to the place where they can say the old "I love what I do, so I never work a day in my life!"

For me, I take joy from the fact that I'm providing for my family, and this really helps get me through the slumps. I also do different things in my spare time, some of which are completely orthogonal to my career (other than the problem solving aspect), and this gives me joy.

All the best in contemplating things! You'll make it.

It works, but has inferior efficacy compared to mRNA vaccines.
Same for J&J.

If you have a choice, why get AZ? More over second shot is 3 months away, for mRNA it is at most 42 days away.

J&J has one shot, that has efficacy lower event than AZ.

US is vaccinated mostly using mRNA (because AZ took long to approve and J&J came at that time, but is now blocked).

In my country we have the most amount of Pfizer vaccine, AZ screwed us and didn't deliver so why bother with almost non-existent vaccine that has lower efficacy?

J&J delivered todays some vaccines, but I assume it won't do it anymore as it waits to see what happens with clothing.

I don't understand how that is related to IAPs or subscriptions?

If the app has premium features gated behind a subscription, it needs to either use Apple's Subscriptions to check with Apple if your Apple ID has the subscription. Then, it can unlock the functionality.

If the app is using consumable IAPs then it would not be able to check with Apple and would need to store the flag in its own data, either locally or in the cloud. If in the cloud, it could tie this data to your device id so it could be restored if you uninstall & reinstall, but this is more difficult if you have tracking disabled.

Your content that you create could be stored in the cloud and restored the same way. But again, Apple makes it difficult to do this if you have tracking disabled since there isn't an easy "device ID" to get that is the same every time, to my knowledge.
Its a false report, so no worries (see other comment thread)
Like others in this thread with ADHD, I find this post to be rather minimizing to those with ADHD.

My problem isn't the actual reading of words or the investment of time. There are stimulants that work wonders for me and allow me to do it.

It's the parsing of all the unnecessary information to get to the point of the material. Part of that might be because I'm on the spectrum and struggle with understanding context, though.

Fun anecdote: 30% of people with ADHD/ADD are somewhere on the spectrum; 70% of those on the spectrum are ADHD/ADD.

Having read the spec and proposals recently when looking at web assembly as a cross-platform bytecode, I have to disagree, it seems very well designed to me. They started with an MVP, and are continuously working on and adding proposals to extend it with more features, including some of the ones you want, I think. Why do you think it's a hack job?

Additionally, I think optimized webassembly should normally be a big benefit, helping both startup time and optimizations the engine might miss (also helping the engine focus on other optimizations / making simpler engines performant).

edit: Indeed, optimization before webassembly makes a big difference in the article's benchmarks, as you can see with how C++/Rust was faster than the hand-crafted AssemblyScript, theoretically because C++/Rust is going through LLVM optimizations.

I learned a few years ago that I actually worked closely with one of the two programmers who worked with Madoff and was part of the "Madoff Five" the year before he started with Madoff. I feel the judge went too easy on the programmers involved as there is no way they did not understand what they were helping to orchestrate. I also worked closely with another programmer a couple of years later who wound up being a drug kingpin. I hope that it ended with those two!
