Love the github dark themes. Used to roll with my own theme, customized from 'Made of Code' theme from the wild days of typing out raw code with just Vim.

It's amazing what they have managed to create with web-based technologies, vscode is the best developer experience I've experienced, it feels like just editing text but with more power than I could ask for. In a good way reminds of the classical Borland Turbo-C environments, or like working in Linux in pure text mode.
> You CAN concatenate, assuming your inputs are valid the outputs will also be valid

Is that true even if you mix LTR and RTL text? I have a suspicion there could be problems there, but I'm happy to be wrong. I would still say that safe concatenation is a minor boon for the cost of enforced UTF-8 compliance.

> Most of the other issues you fault are shared by _any_ encoding of Unicode.

That is exactly my point - that UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, byte strings that could be invalid UTF-8 are all basically equally bad if you want to guarantee meaningful text. A text consisting of two valid UTF-8 code points representing combining characters is no more meaningful than a text consisting of 4 bytes that are invalid UTF-8 code points.

> searching for a given valid Unicode sequence and replacing it with another... (E.G. replace someone's name) you'll nearly always be able to do this in without issue.

I don't agree, unless you are talking about something extremely 'programmatic' like someone's username or email. For real text apps, you'd want something even more complex than Unicode, that could recognize that 'Ștefan' and 'Stefan' are the same name.
Why stop there? Let's add in Visa too. If we're gonna add Visa, let's add Mastercard. What about banks though? Maybe we add in JP Morgan?

If Coinbase has network effects, they're incredibly weak. I'll drop my Coinbase account tomorrow if I find a cheaper, safe place to buy coins. Schwab on the other hand has inarguably the best checking account out there, incredible customer service, and a great brokerage.

Coinbase is in a race to the bottom and they're gonna get smashed against the floor by established, defensible financial services. Grandma ain't making a Coinbase checking account. That's my thinking anyways.
Architecture of a Database System – Hellerstein, Stonebraker & Hamilton, 2007. Is a great paper focused on DBs design and architecture. From 2007 but still rocks. http://db.cs.berkeley.edu/papers/fntdb07-architecture.pdf

I was wondering the same thing. I've never even heard of PyType, but I use Pyright every day. I expect many developers are similar.

Does Pyright behave like MyPy or PyType? Or neither?

Also did Python really create a type annotation system without specifying the semantics of how it is supposed to work? That's crazy.
Many stores in my area have used the coin-in-cart thing for decades -- and only recently stopped doing that. I have yet to ask them why, but I am curious.

Maybe maintaining the locking mechanism costs more than paying people to collect carts?
Why do companies have so many confusing executive roles?
I agree with all that, but some central governments such as Turkey go to great lengths to make public transport a paid service. The best public transport is the free one indeed.
Now he charges 4% each way to buy and sell bitcoin..
Wow, so English sounded just like a Scandinavian language! I knew old English words are often similar to the equivalent modern Scandinavian languages in writing (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish) but I was not sure if they sounded similar.
One key difference between wxWidgets and Qt or GTK is that wxWidgets, as far as I know, uses native controls to create the UI, unlike Qt or GTK which draw everything themselves. Qt is really good at imitating a native feeling but wxWidgets provides a real native UX.

Having said that, for my Python projects, I am currently using Qt via PySide2 since that one worked without any problems with a simple pip installation while the other 2 gave some errors (I tried them about 2 years ago, maybe they work better now).

Another reason I currently use Qt is because I needed to do a lot of drawing and interact with these drawings on a canvas and Qt has QGraphicsView widget which is a really capable canvas widget where you can easily do transformations, interactivity with good performance and it also has a good documentation. GTK didn't have such a widget out of the box, I didn't look at wxWidgets, though, maybe that one has.
I advise you to approach life as if all advice is bad?
From what I've heard surrounding the Parler incident, AWS worked _with_ Parler staff to get their data off the platform. Sure, it's not a hot-swap to Azure or metal or whatever, but it was nice to see that they didn't hold Parler's data hostage or just plain delete it.

I'd assume the same courtesy would be extended to any customer, provided their ToS breaches aren't significantly worse (read: illegal) and it's not a billing-related suspension.
It’s also used by receiving parties that don’t want to accept calls but need a signal and/or those with toll free numbers that may receive numerous calls — voting on some competition shows uses this mechanism. Some campaigns have also used this to collect the number of people “signing a petition”.
This hits close to home. I always found user stories as a convoluted nonsense, especially when abstracted away to be as general as possible. When I feel that something is useless it doesn't go well, especially when I have use to it. I never complained to anyone because that is part of the job but why? I was told it was a common language and that's that. To me tasks make a whole lot of sense. Even the name 'user story' sounds dumb, I wonder why they had to call it like that. But that's my own opinion and I should keep it to myself if I want to be employed.
Is your comment discussing the HN discussion quadruple meta deep?
The same logic applies generally; the point is to apply the same things that have worked in every other field of human endeavour.
Exactly. Ultimately these problems must be addressed on a greater societal level: by policy designed specifically to target them.

Individual donation will only ever be a band aid. The funds required to alleviate hunger, poverty, etc., will come from redistributing the wealth of the super rich.
That's why in Germany at least we have two classes of ebikes. The ones assisting up to 25kph (i.e. moderate bike speeds but you can keep them up going uphill) and the ones supporting you up to 45kph. For the latter you need liability insurance and a scooter or car driving permit. They also have a numberplate.
An AWS customer who wants to prepare for such a scenario can do so. Regardless of whether most of their customers do, the point is that it’s possible—and quite reasonable.

That isn’t the case for PSTN. It’s outright impossible.
I'm not knowledgeable enough about corporate finance to run the numbers, but would that sustainable in practice?
What's being taxed is the market valuation of the company, which is based on the market's prediction of future cash flows. How common would it be for a company, particularly a startup, to have enough cash on hand to do that? It would be like asking you to pay the next 15 years of your income tax right now, in advance.
VSCode uses extensions to do language parsing and you can fairly easily use TreeSitter in a VSCode language extension. I have done and it works very well.
doesn't the halting problem only hold if you have infinite memory?
I think you are mischaracterising the argument. His argument is that effective altruism can not eliminate poverty, it's inherent in the concept. You also dis not show that he is the one who mischaracterises the "believes" (maybe you mean arguments here?). I think he gave a reasonably accurate description of effective altruism, what in the description do you believe is wrong?

You have not actually engaged with the actual argument, you simply assert that change through political activism is not the "obvious most powerful tool we have". I think you need to back that up, I would say history at least tells us that the largest changes in wealth distributions have come through (often violent) political action.

Regarding the bednet argument, you are simply nitpicking on the numbers. The argument still stands at some point you end up in a position of diminishing returns, i. e. When everyone has a net giving nets is not helping anyone.
Born and bred Australian here. In my ~10 year career I've never worked with nor worked for anyone who didn't advocate for (close to) complete code coverage.

Can I ask where you've learned this?
can't argue with your logic aside from (as someone who pushed carts for months at various Walmarts across South Dakota) the part where implementing coin-for-cart setups in thousands of retail locations across large geographical areas, where there previously weren't any, and customers weren't used to the situation, seems like a negligible corporate profit incentive, when you can always hire more cheap(ish)-labor cart-pushers (and/or enlist cashiers to push carts part-time as needed...)

I will say though that when I travelled to Sweden a few years ago, the coin-for-cart system was truly something to behold.
FIFO would mean that non-tainted funds added after tainted are also locked.
As a fellow Australian I have to agree with some of my fellow countrymen when they say that compared to the US, our tech industry is much more conservative and focused on banking, insurance and real-estate.

From my perspective, we have a number of great developers, its just that most of us (myself included), don't work in places where our tech and work is announced almost like an advertisement. Something that, at least for me, is a weird thing to watch happen so often from US tech companies.

I think a big contributing factor to such a conservative tech industry comes from a general lack of investment in start-up businesses either due to a lack of interest from the government, or from risk-adverse investors who would rather put their money into safe bets like real-estate.
There are other cryptocurrencies that have higher tps and lower per-transaction fees.

Bitcoin has low transaction fees compared to US domestic wire transfers or compared to using a credit card on a purchase of $1000 or more.
I hate this meme. HSBC used their judgement about something for which the law said they had to use their judgement. Then their judgement turned out to be wrong and apparently that's now a crime. Foreign exchange has legitimate use cases, it's not remotely comparable to cryptocurrencies.

This. I’m surprised at how many folks don’t realize you can do this and capture your changes in terraform by looking at the plan and making tf code changes until the plan doesn’t show a diff
Taxing the unrealized gains doesn't seem like a good idea, however, taxing stock used as collateral for loans would be appealing since that seems a loophole to access the gains without realizing them for tax purposes.
I used Google calendar to send free SMS to myself with information about my services running on my raspberry pi. Each service had a future calendar entry with SMS reminder. Under normal operation the service would move the entry forward in time. If it had crashed, I got a SMS.
I’m going to cluster HN news stories by topic and then write a script to filter the same content out.
Exactly. Capitalism is ultimately playing a key role in perpetuating poverty.
It's not about where it comes from, it's about what you do with it. If you put it to good use then it is perfectly fine.

The high corporate savings rate of the last decade tells us that most of that money is just sitting somewhere doing absolutely nothing.
Is it an ideology or is it just a growing consensus that Rust is really as good as everyone says it is? While I can see how it might look ideological, it doesn’t “feel” ideological to me at least. It feels like a few years ago we hit critical mass and crossed the point where enough people feel like Rust is never going away, that people began to really rely on it, and once they showed this work to other people those people liked what they saw and decided to give it a try and Rust is growing organically on the back of “doing the right things” and just generally being “a good language” for so many more things than people are used to.
Is this about the AI or about the use of regular technology that could hurt citizens? Facial recognition and pattern recognition both seem like tech that isn't necessarily AI but are mentioned in the article.

I'm not dismissing these concerns. The social harms of these platforms far outweigh whatever gains are wrung from them. They are a net negative to society and to public discourse, full stop. The longer we defend the legitimate reasons people have to stay netizens of these platforms, the darker their shadow weighs over our consciousness.

My country has a former prime minister on Facebook's oversight board because everyone here uses Facebook. That's not in anyone's interest but Facebook's because now it's convinced us that it can be brought to heel, as if it was Facebook, the company, that was the problem.

That's a treacherous misdiagnosis: the issue is the platform itself. It must be dismantled if society is going to heal from the psychic traumas unknowingly and knowingly caused by our participation.

With 8,000 employees, SpaceX has a payroll of almost $150 million/month, plus other operating costs. Sounds like they're in financial trouble and need to raise to continue operating.

Note that there's a very small world-wide market for satellite launches, which won't pay for the above. The reusable feature of SpaceX is a business mistake, as noted by both ULA and ESA.

Elon Musk is a welfare queen, as all of his businesses rely on govt. handouts and rebates.

I got this email from Twilio a few days back, it could be related:

As a current Twilio customer, we are notifying you that we are updating our Messaging Policy, available at https://www.twilio.com/legal/messaging-policy. We are sending this message to all customers, regardless of whether action is required to ensure compliance.
[...]
There are a few key sections we’d like to call out:
Applicability. We clarified that the Twilio Messaging Policy applies to all organizations using our services, and that Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are responsible for ensuring their users are in compliance.
Messaging Policy Evasion. We clarified that content or techniques designed to avoid mechanisms that detect policy violations are not permitted.
Usage Limitations - Content We Do Not Allow. We clarified that you may not send content that is illegal in the jurisdiction where the message recipient lives. For example, in the United States, this includes cannabis and CBD messages.
It seems the design of this study is questionable.

Since they couldn't blind the psylocybin group from the effect, they gave 1mg daily to the SSRI group.

Basically it's a study that compares psylocybin with SSRI + psylocybin micro dosing.

They claim that the micro dose don't have an effect, but there is not a large body of evidence to support that claim.
Coinbase charges a spread of about one-half of one percent (0.50%) for cryptocurrency purchases and cryptocurrency sales. However, the actual spread may be higher or lower due to market fluctuations in the price of cryptocurrency on Coinbase Pro between the time we quote a price and the time when the order executes.

We also charge a Coinbase Fee (in addition to the spread), which is the greater of (a) a flat fee or (b) a variable percentage fee determined by region, product feature, and payment type. The flat fees are set forth below:

If the total transaction amount is less than or equal to $10, the fee is $0.99
If the total transaction amount is more than $10 but less than or equal to $25, the fee is $1.49
If the total transaction amount is more than $25 but less than or equal to $50, the fee is $1.99
If the total transaction amount is more than $50 but less than or equal to $200, the fee is $2.99

Edit: There's another section about how they charge 4% to deposit dollars unless you use ACH (and wait 1 week) or wire transfer (then they charge you $10 to deposit or $25 to withdraw)
Europe is going to need to cut itself off from the rest of the world if it really wants a market with much stricter rules than its global competitors. It already has totally asymmetric relationships with its trading partners, where Europe sells mostly luxury goods which can easily be boycotted. Germany, of all countries, is unwilling to acknowledge a genocide to protect their auto industry.

It wont be a total segregation, but it will start to look something like the Amish. A functioning way of life, cottage industries and great donuts, Don't expect any rockets to Mars though.
But the question remains: if you're a customer at a store that doesn't use a coin system, should you return your cart?

Right; going from n=1 to n=2 is usually a lot of work, but going on to n=3 and beyond after that is usually much easier.

It's good this is finally been considered; there have been projects like this for decades but they never made much headway. I remember seeing this presentation about a memory safe driver framework over 10 years ago, and while it was functional (according to the authors) it never seemed to see much implementation (IIRC it generated C code, I can't recall the name of the project). There's also stuff like Cyclone[1], and I never understood why that never got any traction as it embodies more or less the same ideas as Rust (the homepage even recommends Rust now), and there's of course D, although the lack of adoption there can probably be explained by the licensing (D can run without a GC).

"Long COVID" is a thing, but is it something unique and specific? Probably not:

https://www.vox.com/22298751/long-term-side-effects-covid-19...

As for ME/CFS being psychosomatic, that's a bit more controversial, with doctors on either side. Nothing is proven either way. Still, symptoms such as fatigue and brain fog are consistent with ME/CFS.

We like to dismiss such symptoms when it is convenient, e.g. when it occurs as a side-effect of a vaccine, while taking it rather serious when it occurs after some hyped-up new illness such as COVID. In either cases, it could simply be the Nocebo effect at work.
Yeah, they changed their TOS 2 days ago... This seems likely.
But that assumes that
1. A significant portion of the people who want to get rich to help people actually get rich
2. Once they are rich they actually help
3. The process of getting rich doesn't make others poorer. (example does Bezos donating some portion of his wealth do better than him actually paying people more, or have the part owners of amazon?)

All these points are far from obviously true. In fact I can come up with many examples where they obviously are not.

That's probably correct. But any reasonable execution environment has so many states that doing a full enumeration is infeasible.
This isn't "dogma", this is based on my experience of doing this for 20 years.
Assuming a 6% wealth tax (as Elizabeth Warren proposed) and a founder(s) owning 50% of the company, the yearly tax would be 3% of the company's valuation, which might be, say, 30% of their most recent funding round. So that would be somewhere between devastating and disastrous.

And then you do it again next year.

Musk has recently been quite public about how the starlink project is going to need to go through a deep trough of high expenses/not much customer revenue, before the network is fully online.

I'm sitting here with a beta terminal that regularly does 310 Mbps down and 16-20 Mbps upstream, with 0.25% (1/4th of 1%) packet loss to seattle over a 3 hour period, so I'm fairly optimistic.
