Thanks, I could not really articulate what was my problem with Mars, but you did a great job! Of course NASA and the like should definitely not shut down, but this marketing scam around Mars being habitable is hurtful to Earth and climate change.
If we are willing to lose 7 billion people we might as well forget about climate change entirely.

I'm not sure that line cleaves along political affiliation, but I'm willing to be convinced.

In what way are you “forced”? I assume you aren’t tenured - but I do know several tenured academics who got off the treadmill and are doing just that.
That is fascinating, thanks for sharing. What part of pointers is it that makes it so hard for you to grasp, if you have any thoughts?

Do you have any experience in other programming languages? How familiar are you with low-level computer architecture, at the CPU/memory level?

I guess one important part is to realize that in C, variables are basically names for memory locations, that in turn hold values. In other languages variables can be more abstract, and you have no idea how the value(s) are being associated with the variable name.

I started writing an example here, but I ran out of time and it wasn't good enough. :) Sorry.

EDIT: Now I've taken a loo at the relevant pages in the guide itself, and it seemed to explain the concepts very clearly and easily, so ... I'm not sure how to help. :)
This is arguably dangerous because I imagine tractor ownership is a strong prior for prediction of political affiliation. Just one of the many exploitable dangers of mass privacy invasion.
It is indeed obvious that an external force can apply energy to a system to reduce entropy.

The trick is that, if you ignore the thermodynamics of information processing, Maxwell's demon can work with arbitrarily little energy (the only physical work it is doing is opening/closing a door with arbitrarily little mass). In fact Maxwell's demon can perform any amount of thermodynamic work with essentially zero physical work. It really does seem to be a violation of energy conservation.

The only way to solve this is by considering the thermodynamics of Maxwell's demon's brain (creating and destroying state as it determines whether or not to let a given molecule pass the door) - and in particular understanding that there is a fundamental thermodynamic cost to storing or deleting information, it is not just a consequence of imperfect circuit/neuron design.
While you are correct, I don't think that's at all the point the website is making. I don't know if the point the site is trying to make is an effective one, but it's about focusing attention and inspiration, not direct financial resources.

Just learn C by reading and working through the K&R book. (It's one of the best CS books ever written.)

https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-2nd-Brian-Kernig...

Also, there's nothing magical about pointers - scripting languages use "handles", which is the same thing except they're read-only to the end-user programmer.

The real challenge with C is multi-threaded programming, so don't do that if you don't need it.
What pointers basically are is not particularly hard to grasp. What is harder to grasp it what can be done with them and how you can shoot yourself in the foot with them in non-obvious ways.

I think I only understood much of it once I learned Rust, because you realize: Ah, that thing I once did in C is something that maybe ahouldn't be possible at all without extra steps. Even if I were to nwver use Rust again, this definitly helped to understand how to use pointers more safely.
People caused all these problems on Earth, and we will inevitably take them with us to Mars and everywhere else.
Given the fact that teams like Bayern Munich, who also win the champions league regularly, have zero debt, I am less sympathetic to teams like Real Madrid, Barca or Juventus.

It's simply mismanagement. You do not need to buy every promising player to be successful.

It is also not the job of all other European teams to bail you out.
it actually has working examples for all of the C library calls even math routines. Not sure if it's complete but it seems so. This seriously helps bridging the gap between man (2) pages and putting things into working code and only beef I have is that I didn't have it 25 years ago. Very cool.

Can you prove if a program is running it’s open source code?
With lot’s of open source startups out there, I don’t see any way to guarantee that they are running the same open source code. I’m a building a product in open source and want to ensure that my customers can validate that I’m running the same program. This is a large vague problem but if you know any constrained solutions like in any specific programming language that works too!

As you say, that line is at about the midpoint of the article.

Your phrasing leaves it a little up in the air as to whether that is what the article is about, which I don’t think it is.

“That is literally what’s written in the article” is quite a different statement from, “That’s literally mentioned in the article.”

Yes, that’s mentioned in the article. Fine.
I don't think anyone is arguing against space exploration or developing technologies to aid us in that endeavor. It's the idea that it's a viable solution to our immediate problems here on Earth, problems we're currently experiencing. I'm all for space exploration and the advancement of science in general but I'm also pretty keen on this whole having food, water and breathable air thing too. I have to say I've grown somewhat accustom to it. Besides if we can't solve the sustainability problem here on Earth with all the natural resources we have what chance would we have someplace markedly worse? If we can't even figure out how to make our current situation work here we're not going to stand a chance anyplace else in our solar system.
Style-agnostic is probably what I would go with.
Just another integral data type which supports not only arithmetic (adding or removing an integral value), but also "dereferencing" which means getting a value of the pointed-to type at the pointed-to address.

The quantities added or removed in arithmetic operations are the same as the size of the type that is being pointed to.

It's like a boxing match. The formations are constantly jockeying for tactical advantage, taking calculated risks, outplaying and outsmarting each other on a micro scale etc. [1] Perhaps it's boring for someone who doesn't care about that and only wants to see goals scored.

[1] Of course, this is most true in a match of two top teams, the less skill involved the more the match starts to remind a pinball game - i.e. with much less tactics and control, and much more of just reacting and randomness.
Gold has this mythical reputation of stability, but if you look at the data, that's not true. It can swing by a factor of 2x one way, then swing all the way back, within ten years: https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=XAU&to=USD&view=10Y It's a speculative asset like anything else. It might make sense as part of a portfolio, but don't expect it to perform miracles.

I use an investment company that invests for me in a mix of ethical stocks, bonds, and yes, unfortunately, some gold. None of this will do me any good if the current stock market highs turn out to be a bubble.
Perhaps it's not that simple, true. What I meant was that there are people who need to heat a room, but are hobby IT people. So instead of getting a radiator they put a mining rig in the room. It won't mine in any substantial amount and won't generate a massive profit, perhaps just pays for the electricity. What I'm just saying is that people do mine in a situation where heat is primary and the rest is hobby.

Also, as the sibling says, miners are just as efficient as radiators for the same amount of electricity. Heat pumps are another story, they don't generate heat from electricity but transfer it from somewhere else.
If the cap is per-team, it would stop top clubs from building “galactico” teams packed with superstars: if you spend a ton on Ronaldo you then have to pay peanuts for other team members. This is basically the NBA model, where any franchise can typically afford a superstar only in one or two roles. Hence why very few NBA franchises have historically managed to win back-to-back titles for several years: every season you have to cut corners somewhere.
You are right, of course. But isn't "cultural significance" just another way of saying "stuff people remember?"

Please don't muddy the waters like that. I'm sure you understand perfectly well that when a job asks you to do X, they just want to get X done, whereas when a school asks you to do X, they want to test your skills or make you practice.
I don't think any European football fan thinks your leagues are positive. So owners can move AC Milan to Budapest when they see a market (since you can't qualify) and call it AC Budapest Raiders? It's not competitive sport, it's cheap showbiz with hot dogs.

If you own a wind farm, bitcoin is great because you can use excess energy to mine bitcoins when demand is low.

That doesn't help the environment directly of course, it only helps you.

But I suppose you could argue that it drives down the cost of operating a wind farm, which in principle makes you able to sell renewable energy cheaper.
I too look back at old ads with fondness and reminisce about the simple times of late 80s and early 90s. However when I recollect how I felt at that time about those ads it's no different from today.

The fondness that I associate with those ads are because they are a window to a world that was simpler and in someways beautiful. Do I miss those times? Somewhat. Do I want those days back? Probably not, because for me (and my generation) the progress has been stupendous.
> There are even some companies with no advertisement spending because their product is so essentially useful that people will seek it out themselves

Even then, in my experience the set of people who are enthusiastic about Mars/space exploration fully overlaps with those who strongly care about climate change and the environment in general. It has never been about picking one over the other.

They should instead invest the time and money in reaching out to people and corporations who don't give a shit about either one.
Always good to see. (I’m tired of seeing ads everywhere too!) Bravo.

Though, I disagree on the restaurant analogy. Not being open-source isn’t the lack of willingness to share the ingredients. It’s choosing not to share the recipe, which is almost every restaurant.
This is a bummer. As much as I love lichess, I think there's a beautiful array of opportunities of monetisation which I believe would be nothing short of wrong incentives. Value-based monetisation (instead of restriction / ad based monetisation) might as well motivate the team to maximise that value for the user.

Just a couple of examples (for which I'd be actually willing to pay for)

1. Stockfish, server-side game analysis, learning from mistakes 2. Deep individual analysis based on XY games, practicing on weak spots, openings etc. with stockfish
3. Their practice library

Again, all of these are super valuable to those who want to take their game to the next level, don't see why anyone in that segment wouldn't pay for this. The "entertainment" feature of lichess which is the chess itself should be free indeed.

Show HN: A community for music lovers. Let's record your music memories
What's difficult to understand about pointers isn't the concept of a pointer itself, or even * and &, it's the fact that working with pointers requires you to simultaneously understand different abstraction levels. While it's not unique to pointers, and it's in fact the case for most nontrivial programming tasks, what's unique about C is that pointers are so pervasive you can't really do anything if you don't understand how to work with them.

IME languages like Python aren't any easier than C to work with (ignoring UB issues of course), but it's certainly the case that you can probably kinda sorta get your job done with Python even without understanding the first thing of what you're doing, and that's not happening if you write in C.
> It’s especially insidious because once you grok pointers, they’re suddenly easy. But up until that moment, they’re slippery eels.

I'm sort of a C beginner myself. I understand pointers, and I do remember they clicked in my mind suddenly. The moment before, I didn't understand at all. I also love the quirkiness of this guide. Definitely going to give this a read.

This is like the basic thing of giving your users power over the product they purchased.

"Researchers concluded that with a mild flick of the wrist, any driver could flatten 40 children in a preschool yard. Activists have called for wrist flick regulation over the years but their appeals have been ignored by all manufacturers except Daewoo - whose cars do not respond to steering input at all"

Are there any specific aspects you'd like to improve around your code?

A few classics that focus on improving "general code style" would be:

- "Clean Code" (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/clean-code-a/9780136083...)

- "The Pragmatic Programmer" (https://pragprog.com/titles/tpp20/the-pragmatic-programmer-2...)

EDIT: Since you are talking about coding like at a top company, one book that has been sitting on my shelf for a while, but I haven't gotten around to reading yet is "Software Engineering at Google: Lessons Learned from Programming Over Time" (https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/software-engineeri...)

What disgusts me perhaps even more than seeing all those people in the US flinging hatred at each other is just how thoroughly they've armed themselves in all sorts of logic(?) to justify that flinging more and more intense hatred is the only correct course of action, that there simply is no other way, and that all alternative routes are not only worthless but just as evil as their enemies are.

It's a pretty depressing sight to see.

My mortgage is fixed rate. The higher inflation gets, the smaller the real value of what I owe.
I love Lichess (13k+ games and counting).

It is a worthy alternative to chess.com model . There should be room for both.(chessbase.com, ICC, FICS are lesser alternatives now)

That said this low pressure model only works when you are a lean shop(single developer proficient in Scala) AND have millions of users.

Running a lean shop might be an admirable goal but millions of users is not for every project.

There are thousands of worthy open source projects which struggle to give their creator sustenance through donations.

The exceptions are few(Vue comes to mind).
There's little performance advantage to SSDs over hard-disks since the proof of space only requires a few blocks to be read every (on avg) 5 minutes. This leaves them unable to compete against the much cheaper hard-disks.
Furthermore, the ROI on hard-disks bought just to mine this may be decades as there is already a glut of unused hard disk space. So there's no hard disk shortage to be expected.

As downsides to chia I see

1) the huge premine.

2) the large complexity of the proof of time + proof of space system.

3) the fact that the mining chain cannot commit to the tx history (instead the miner's private key signs for a block of txs as belonging to the mined header)

real estate; you can buy out right and property value will rise with inflation. Or you can get a fixed mortgage which means you will owe less if inflation kicks in.

Alternatively owning regular assets should help; stocks, gold, crypto, art, etc

I reckon 95% of people are also in it for speculation, and then you must have your coins always at the exchange, cause you never know when Elon Musk decides to pump, or when the FED or China or the EU decide to make a move.

They might be returning different results depending on the user-agent because:

I think streaming-first systems like Flink are best positioned to answer your need.

You might need to abstract the query or subscription infrastructure into your data model though:

Subscriptions:

INSERT INTO user_orders_total_feed(user_id, data)
SELECT
uo.user_id,
SUM(o.price) total
FROM user_order uo
JOIN order o ON uo.user_id = o.user_id
JOIN user_live_subscription uls ON uo.user_id = uls.user_id
GROUP BY uo.user_id
WHERE uls.subscription_topic = 'orders_total'

And for queries you would join on a temporal snapshot using 'FOR SYSTEM TIME AS OF' [1]

You could have your data fully stored in Kafka or Pulsar, Kappa-architecture-style ; or you could have it in regular rdbms but with Change Data Capture on top [2] (basically shipping your WAL to Kafka/Pulsar)

The good thing about Kafka and Flink is that they scale. Your regular db might not sustain the query rate if every query needs a write to a table, but Kafka/Flink will.

A pointer is a variable whose value is the address of another variable.

I don't think there is great risk of getting disrupted by next-gen codecs because the gen-to-gen improvements for stills will be so marginal, especially compared to the improvement from jpeg to avif/heif. So there is little motivation to iterate there, especially considering the computational costs.

I see whatever we settle on will probably last next 20 years. So taking few years to settle feels fine in my books
