Nim, D, or possibly Python with Cython/Pythran/Nuitka/etc. acceleration (maaaaybe Go). These all have shallow learning curves and easy FFIs to C. That allows you can do easy things first and worry about hard things later/gradually.

Of course, you really need to be more precise than "systems prog.lang" as I would say there isn't great agreement on what that means. Giving a set of task categories would be better. E.g., if you want to write kernel modules for OS? then you should learn whatever language OS? is written in.
> And then try to join credits and debits together by updating_tx.

You can't join on updating_tx because the credits and debits per account are disjoint sets of transactions - that join will never produce output.

I did try something similar with timestamps - https://github.com/jamii/streaming-consistency/blob/main/fli.... This is also wrong (because the timestamps don't have to match between credits and debits) but it at least produces output. It had a very similar error distribution to the original.

Plus the join is only one of the problems here - the sum in `total` also needs to at minimum process all the balance updates from a single transaction atomically.

Totally understandable that you would think that. Cloudflare also provides server analytics if you use them as a CDN. That doesn't work for single page apps which don't necessarily make server requests when the URL changes, so they introduced a new product ("Web Analytics") to handle this.
I was speaking in the context of the society under discussion, that employs all of these things that result in supply and demand affecting prices being "natural":

* privately owned/controlled real property

* market-based pricing

You have mischaracterized my views ("right-wing libertarian"), and seem to have misunderstood what I was pointing out. It isn't my view that prices should naturally increase as demand does: that is the view of the society and housing market under discussion, as that is how it operates today, and the system that both the hotels and AirBnB services in those markets operate within.
I don't want to be that guy, but.... We should probably appreciate a modern IRCd, but why, why, why wasn't this written in a memory safe language like Rust or Go? Seriously wtf, if you are starting from scratch in 2021 on a remotely accessible application why would you choose C?

I believe the giant misconception in 'cardio calories burned' is the fact that exercise affects your resting metabolism quite a lot and people that exercise burn calories throughout the day.

While diet is a 'major factor' - for people who are sedentary, then walking 2 miles a day can be a huge step up.
They generally are. The prices are related to the earnings. The current P/E ratio of the S&P500 is about 2x the historical average of the past 200 years. High, yes, (which is driven by low interest rates), but definitely linked to an underlying value.

In other words, the price of a company is the present value of its future earnings. There is some speculation on what future earnings will be, but generally the valuation is about 20x last year's earnings, right now it's about double that.

If a company earns profits it can pay it out as dividend, or it can accumulate it as cash and gain equity.

Bitcoin doesn't have such a thing. There's no profit that bitcoin makes that gets paid out to its owners in dividend. And the price increases aren't related to its profits, either, it's really pure speculation, no different from tulip mania.

Bitcoins potential technical uses are real, but have no real world use case so far after 13 years. There's no killer app. And if there was, it still does not require bitcoin to have a trillion dollar market cap to function. The blockchain can function just fine at a fraction of it. You can write data to the blockchain with a millionth fraction of one coin, a tiny fraction of a cent.

As a store of value sure it has proved itself across what is a very short span of time in human history, but only because its speculative. It's not an argument that its a good store of value. In the end, its only based on a mutual fashionable agreement. Technically you can fork bitcoin and create infinite tokens. The scarcity is akin to every human on earth being an alchemist and and being able to make infinite variations of a gold metal, slightly different, and us artificially choosing on one (the first one) being valuable, and the rest not. For now... and then claiming it to be a good store of value. Time will tell. In any case, there's nothing but FOMO/speculation driving bitcoin valuations atm.
Half of it is how they answer. If you say "tell me about someone you are proud of," you're looking for someone genuinely excited about someone they work with. I've had one-on-ones with managers where everything is fine, but I still say "do what you can to keep X because they're that good."
It’s humbling to trace these kinds of intellectual lineages. Makes you appreciate the millennia of accumulated knowledge we’ve inherited/how everyone seems to be standing on the shoulders of the past.
if you want to build a saas, go with elixir. Its got a great batteries included web framework thats built to scale and an emerging suit of ml and linear algebra software coming out.

That would be a reasonable argument if we were all mostly unconstrained in terms of amount of money. In practice most people do not have the ability to express how much they care. Often they are instead directly harmed by high prices in terms of being forced out of communities they can no longer live in, or suffer lengthy commutes etc.. We can not accommodate the needs of everyone perfectly, but in a democracy we certainly can allow people to set rules for how their community should function in ways that seeks to balance different considerations.

Votes are an expression of how much people care too. That's the whole point of having votes.

I have also never once come across this argument without it turning out that the person making it have not thought it through or are disingenuous. Pretty much nobody wants all constraints taken away and everything left to the free market.

Put another way: If I bought all the land around your place and denied you passage, you'd starve to death soon enough. Or I could just store open vats of toxic chemicals on the neighbouring property. Or a million other things that we regulate away because society have seen the harm that allowing price to control everything does.
The NFL cartel is dead serious about breaking up the UEFA (and its federations) local monopolies.

I think it is brilliant to introduce more competition into the mix, but i also fear this will have the outcome to create 2 parallel tournaments and thus, take money out of the merit based system... into the franchise system.

I fear the goal of this initiative is to derisk sport ownership by private funds. This is a serious play at business oriented takeover of sports
Microsoft made an announcement recently that the next major version of Office Access will use the Monaco editor for the SQL editor (with auto-complete and intellisense) instead of the horribly broken black+white editor presently in Access.

Their choice of Monaco is interesting because it's a HTML+JS-based editor - this hints that Access might be transitioning its entire UI over to HTML+CSS+JS - this might be a good thing - or it might be a very bad thing.

I wonder if the attempt to "replicate" our eyes in this approach is not misguided. Why not have a set of small electromagnetic wires, a magnetic ferrous-fluid, some distributed optical sensor + orientation and allow a NN to manipulate these "optics" until it "sees" a reference picture.
Given enough training, the optics should be able to out-wiggle nearly all traditional optic setups without moving parts and expensive lenses.

Maybe that says something about the company culture.

I interview a LOT of candidates, and I make sure that there is always time at the end of the interview for the candidate to ask questions (even if that means running over on my time). Regardless of how well/poorly the interview went, I try to answer honestly and openly, to the best of my abilities. It's not in my best interest (or the company I work for) to hire someone who won't be happy working at the company - they won't be performing their best, and they won't last long.
Aside:

>Musk says that autopilot is safer than human driven miles

Is there a breakdown for income with road safety? The best I could find is that poorer countries have higher road deaths / km, but I couldn't find any data on road safety within a country.
Conventional closing-doors elevators are just absurdly safe, even stairs (moving or non-moving) are more dangerous. People die around elevators when climbing onto the roof when it gets stuck or forcing the doors open instead of staying put. Once it gets moving again bad things can happen.

But as hinted at in the safety section, with modern sensors and some brains behind them paternoster can be made safe. You can even make them wheelchair accessible by gradually stopping a cabin and informing all other passengers about that.

And when a department in a large and busy office building is spread across a few floors then a paternoster is the most efficient way of moving between floors.
That doesn't apply to cars, which have the potential to kill anyone who shares the road with you (or people on crosswalks, the sidewalk, cafés, inside shops, etc). So it is my business that you drive safely.
That depends.

If the extra money is enough you may have enough to become your own boss after some time spent being miserable.

I've been quite miserable whenever I worked as an employee (I carefully picked the companies I worked for and I don't really have many complaints - I just can't stand company politics, power plays and stupid decisions from above) but I used my time as an employee to save some money and use paternity leave to build a family. Also, as a sleepless parent, my brain is not in top shape and I'm ok with doing what I need to do to collect a paycheck.

Now, those 5 years being miserable will translate to buying a property in cash somewhere with nice weather, lowering our expenses tremendously (more than half is rent right now) and allowing us to live off some almost passive revenue stream (think, 1 man micro-saas). We're planning to use the free time to build more products and edge ourselves against the risk of not being able to afford our lifestyle and have to go the employee route again.
Now put a raspi in it, and mechanical key switches in the keyboard!
I typically write my Lambda functions as Nest apps, develop locally, and then deploy with the aws-serverless-express (or fastify) NPM package, and I enable The ability to trigger a kinesis/s3/etc events locally as well. The fact that my app gets deployed to Lambda doesn't really have any impact on my developer experience. What stops you from working locally?
I stole this, I think from someone here:

I don't think there are any rewards for running Time Lords or any vulnerabilities inherent in them. Chia relies on VDFs and I think its just "altruistic" to run a Time Lord. I think Chia Inc. does and will continue to run most of them.

Chia is pretty complicated but I'm not sure its much more complicated than other cryptocurrencies. The complexity seems pretty inherent in them.

I'm surprised at the pollyanna-ish dismay on display here that this type of behavior is NOT common place. It's literally the way the world works, and has worked forever. Every middling manager, bureaucrat, or supervisor over anyone has always lorded it over others and used their influence to build little fiefdoms. Hell I deal with three of them in my job everyday. I personally think the reaction here, to your story, is a manifestation of techs exaltation of "meritocracy" and a rejection of the notion that, their ability, skills, technical knowledge maybe don't really matter that much in the end. Horrifying thought to many technologist. Just my opinion.
Every place I've interviewed at, and my current company as well, gives candidates all the time they want to learn about the company and usually the most competent hires are very selective, have multiple job offers, and use the information they gain about company culture to determine where they want to work.

There is absolutely no benefit to a potential employee or the employer not to be up front about these things to good hires. A good hire can easily find another job in a matter of weeks and given the cost to the company to train new hires and get them familiar with the project, it would be a colossal waste to hide these things until after they are hired only to have them leave and have to repeat the entire hiring process all over again.

I’m a WordPress committer and (somewhat former) owner of some large parts of WordPress. This is correct; the Make blogs can be posted to by many members of the project, and this does not indicate a decision or “official” word by any means. (I could create a Make post right now with a counter-proposal if I wanted.) It’s not a proposal by the WordPress Foundation, nor by any of the project’s leads.

However, this does have more gravitas than a random blog post elsewhere, as those with the ability to publish are contributors to the project who have made significant contributions.

Take this post as if it’s an emailed proposal to a project’s mailing list.
They’re moving slowly (they get their efficiency from as good as eliminating waiting times, not from moving at high speed), and (typically) are only used in areas where most of the riders are healthy adults (personnel lifts in office buildings)

I imagine that such a solution would be a public package/extension with eyes on it.
The only time that it is inconvenient to have it enabled all the time is when a page wants to react to some keys in which case I need to manually disable it. I do not like to have to press a key to start searching during normal web browsing as "/" requires either two keys or reaching for the number pad in my keyboard layout, making it no better than Ctrl+F in my opinion (something, something, "Falsehoods programmers believe about keyboard layouts/shortcuts"? ;) See also [0]).
It is simply a personal preference, I guess.

When two people strongly hold the opposite opinions on the same team, it can be a massive hassle for absolutely zero benefit.

On teams, or in life in general, IMO when there is no consensus, or even an anti-consensus, the only rational global decision is not to make a global decision.
One example is taxing the billionaire. They are telling shouting shaming.

Then, Dems will actually tax salaried employees who earn more 400k a year.

Now this doesn't impact average American, sure. But they could have been upfront about taxing salaried employees.

Another example is exactly this news. They are shaming yelling at the companies for not paying more tax.

Yet they don't codify the tax law to get companies to pay more tax.

Based on their yelling, they could have just added "no double Irish practice" into the tax law. No? There are many similar laws that handle extreme complex situation like "no money laundering", "no market manipulation". It's not perfect, but we still manage to handle them.

At best, Dems are misleading the public. My guess is that they can't close that loophole without negative impact on other areas. But Dems never explain this at all. They try hard to say companies are evil. Yet they are the ones with power who do nothing.

This is like you starting a new job, and nobody codifies your responsibility, and you are constantly yelled at for not fulfilling your obligation.

Sure, Dems is the lesser of the two evils when comparing to Republicans. But let's not act like they are not deceptive here.
> Front and back end teams work together to make changes and don’t have to maintain a stable API for any other consumers.

So you agree that they already have to maintain stable APIs for each other? Meaning the mandate would be just adding a requirement for external visibility into the existing internal process, not anything significantly different from what they're already doing.

> If I was interviewing someone for a technical role and they told me that APIs were like charging connectors, I would say ‘no hire’, and complain to the recruiter.

So are you closed minded to analogies in general, don't appreciate that the physical layer has its own complexity, or what? The same type of arguments you're making were also levied at micro USB, by companies trying to keep their bespoke proprietary connectors so they could charge $50 for a spare phone charger. In the end they lost and the market benefited.

> Your argument seems to be that supporting external API clients in addition to an in-house UI imposes no burden

I agree there's a "burden". It's a small burden. One easy bound on this burden is that it is much less effort than developing a mobile app or another whole website specifically for mobile users. And most companies have eagerly done both.

> If you could accept that there are architectural constraints imposed by your demand

You keep using this word architecture. The current de facto deliverable includes XML or JSON documents. The deliverable for the mandate would be differently-formatted XML or JSON documents. Calling a second formatting an "architectural constraint" is a stretch.

I wouldn't be able to answer this. This is too dramatic of a question and has some implicit assumptions that I don't think applies to many well established and organized companies.

The best I could do, and I'm the owner of the company, is give a vague and overly general answer that doesn't really help anyone.

1. "My company isn't organized around a single dimension that can be used to measure one problem in absolute terms against all others. Every team is working on a series of problems on a month to month basis and in turn every individual is working on problems of their own."

2. "The biggest threat to our company is the one we don't know about."

3. "Nothing keeps me up at night, I sleep fairly well."

Am I alone in this or are people responsible for hiring able to give an actual informative answer rather than some canned response?

“Core Contributor” indicates they have contributed patches to WordPress previously and received acknowledgement (props) in the commit message, or have otherwise contributed to the Core component (i.e. the codebase, as opposed to Support/etc). It doesn’t indicate commit access or project leadership necessarily.

That said, only significant contributors get access to post to Make.
Yeah I've heard that Bitwig could be a good solution, and is made by the original developers of Ableton.

They measure torque on the wheel from the drivers hand. It is possible to fool via defeat devices etc (ex www dot autopilotbuddy dot com).

You're right that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26824383 was completely derailed by its title, which often happens with sensational titles, especially about universal topics like housing, food, health, transportation.

But I don't think https://www.planetizen.com/features/110948-affordable-city-o... (the URL you submitted here) is a very good alternative—it seems kind of boring (mostly platitudes and cheerleading), and doesn't seem to cover the interesting bit, which is the specific proposal that you reference. So I've changed the URL back to the Atlantic article for now, with a variation of the subtitle which references that specific idea.

If there's a third article which is even better, we can change it again.

This probably could explain most people's accounts of this, but I've been approached by companies who offered large lump sums to include their SDK which required microphone access in our mobile app, in order to fingerprint what our users were watching on TV while it was open, nominally to see what ads they were seeing. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they or others were going a good bit further than that and trying to run speech recognition on overheard conversations, unless it's illegal somehow.
