"Lack of garbage collection was a problem but runtimes are more troublesome...Linux signal handling becomes very complicated...Runtimes also often force layout of data structures be tuned to the needs of the garbage collector..."

https://github.com/sidkshatriya/me/blob/master/002-why-rust....

That sums up my experience using a lot of higher-level languages. The pitch is always that language X should replace C because it's just as fast in most practical cases but much easier and safer. But the reason I use C is because of the pain of complex runtimes, especially when interoperating with other languages.

And that's also why I'm interested in Rust. It's the first high-level language (I use the term loosely) that doesn't interfere with anything you're trying to do. It can even do dynamic dispatch on ordinary pointers to structures with a C memory layout, because it doesn't add a vtable pointer to structs (like C++ does).

"I don't know much about dlang -- it could have been the best of both worlds"

Yeah, I skipped over dlang, too. And I don't have a good reason for that, aside from a lack of time to really explore both. I hope dlang keeps growing and eventually I'll look into what it has to offer.
I'm a millennial and have never heard anyone younger than my parents use this phrase.

I've always hated it for similar reasons, the "digital natives" are mostly just used to being slaves to cooperate software publishers/authors and don't understand the freedom that a properly configured PC provides.

The really annoying thing is that the service here is only available to US residents, even though much of the bulk mail I receive as a Canadian comes from US businesses that only bother to check the DMA list (and not the Canadian equivalent) even for the operations of their Canadian subsidiaries.

Given that it's a list for companies to obey, the service shouldn't care what country I live in, but only where the company sending the mail is headquartered, no?
Well, there goes Tesla's Dogecoin adoption as well. Proof-of-Work is here to stay for both of those cryptos.

This is optimistic, to say the least. I think ETH2 is a great idea, and is headed in a great direction; but if you take a look at any of the client implementations (Prysm being the most popular), it's not exactly rock-solid software that I would stake $135,000 on. Not to mention that many of the proposed benefits of ETH2 are not in Phase 0. I mean hell, you can't even withdraw your validator's balance yet.
Yes, they're called rollups and several are already in production on the public chain.
Ask HN: My dentist prescribed me a toothbrush that wants to track me forever
Hi HN. I'm writing you because I'm a bit miffed about my first electric toothbrush that my dentist prescribed me. It's called a Philips Sonicare DiamondClean and it cost me $180. When you're at the dentist, it's customary to pay at the time of services rendered....I already regret this. The problem is that this toothbrush requires the Philips Sonicare Android/Apple app. I gave it a whirl, but during the setup process I've noticed so many dark patterns. For starters, it requires that Bluetooth and Location be on all the time. Secondly, the app does _not_ allow screenshots to be made of it! It just disables that on Android for me. Third, the manufacturer does not state any of this on the package, and probably has no necessity to do so.
Or even just type out the alphabet. But labeling it from left to right, top to bottom, would indeed be tricky once you got past 'qwerty'.
> Honestly, I think LoC-shaming originated in languages like Java and Python, where more lines of code almost guaranteed more complexity. Rust's focus on zero cost abstraction ultimately means that even massive programs can run with minimal overhead.

Zero-cost abstractions are meant to be zero physical cost, not zero mental cost. LoC still translate to mental overhead and "LoC shaming" is appropriate for any language, not just verbose like Java or Python.
Long term oriented tech companies and workplaces?
I spent first 6 years of my career in a company which had mostly long term bent, core technology creation was in the forefront. there were deadlines and releases, but not a crazy number/business metric race. moved to couple of large-ish companies after, and now completely fed-up with myopic culture, full of Agile gurus and performance metric seeking middle managers. Nothing of any permanence is ever prioritised and built. Question is how does one find places with permanence and long term thinking cultures? my first experience was a lucky break, but I now want to search for one, any help appreciated
He just suddenly realized this? Its not like a new discovery... I'm confused why people still hang on his every word - he's impulsive, and a dick, two big warning flags. Meaning, either this isn't eco-conscience but rather some effort to move the market, or scarier, he's just a dope, who happened to have made some good bets in his career.
> I'm not convinced nuclear needs to be part of that solution though.

That's cool. But just recognize that the scientific community disagrees. Though many have given up on even trying to push nuclear as being a minimal part due to these types of responses. I just want you to be aware of how your personal and non-expertise stance stands compared to the scientific community.
I think it's the fact that it's a stop gap that worries me the most.

Imagine being alive in thousands of years, having to mind the 'very little waste' that stopgap produced.

I think I'd consider the generations that produced it pretty negatively.
I really doubt anyone is going to revive those old legacy widgets. That style of widget is flawed and predates MVC-style design, you'll find it becomes very impossible to present non-string data with that tree. Most applications now will want to show arbitrary widgets within the table, and for that they'll use the standard HTML/CSS. I would expect you can do something comparably fast by using a virtualized list in HTML, along with IndexedDB.
I would probably not use this at my workstation, but I have several times thought about a VR solution when traveling. I do travel for extended periods of time, and have brought my 27" 1440p with me, but it would be nice to not have to drag that thing around. Replacing it with a VR headset could be an interesting solution.

Look at the spike in 2010.

Then tell me about the runaway food inflation that happened then.

EDIT: Just to be clear on my point: Yes I agree that people are hedging inflation via commodity futures (like they do after most recessions), but that doesn't mean they're right. In the same way stock prices are often a bad indication of a company's actual value.
> All of this reveals a surprising lack of sophistication in the approach taken by both Tesla and Musk.

Tesla's engineering team received experienced in supporting Bitcoin for payments and treasury management. Tesla received quite a bit of PR for accepting Bitcoin. Selling Bitcoin also net Tesla a substantial ($101 million) profit. It is said Tesla does not have a marketing department, but it is marketing itself just fine. You don't give Musk enough credit, he knows what he's doing.
Thanks, did not know about this!
Since when can you not judge a person on what they write in a published book?

This isn’t “crime”, nobody is claiming it’s illegal. But it’s still sexist and flat out wrong to essentially say that most women are worthless, and it’s perfectly reasonable not to want to work with or for someone who demonstrates such sexist thinking and poor judgement.
Where did you get these numbers? I assume this is a post-hoc rationalization?
Did a little searching but did not see a specific version of the old ASCII Star Trek game for CP/M. I see BASIC for CP/M so I presume you could enter Star Trek that way....
Now it seems to be going down. When bitcoin continues to steadily go down, it is a significant concern because Tesla will have to take losses on the cars it sells and will have reduced gross margins, which will result in their stock price tanking.

Doesn't compute. If Euro/USD goes down by few basis points would one stop selling cars priced in euro?

They can always price cars based on BTC's price and liquidate it to fiat or cryptocurrency of their choice.
You would think so, but there have not actually been any meaningful scaling improvements that don’t boil down to “trust a centralized authority”. Taking all factors into account, Lightning is currently the best known option (although it is fairly complicated).
It’s the same here in Sweden, about 3k€ net/mo will cost the employer at least 7k€/mo, and then there’s other costs associated such as paying for book-keeping, business insurance, pension etc. Billing 11k€/mo would barely cover the costs of a single employed developer with a medium salary here in Sweden.

I suppose every country is different but at least here in Sweden you would have to incorporate as a business and tax the money as one, you can be a sole proprietor but then the tax situation is usually even worse. And I’ve not even covered for things like vacation and sick days here. There’s quite a difference between what income you get into the business and what you can expect as a salary.
> women should be forced to work under a known misogynist

How do you know he's a misogynist? You read a small, absolutely marginal excerpt from a book that is clearly written in a literary style. In it, he draws a comparison between a particular woman, who is praised for her talent and resourcefulness, and "most Bay Area women", who are definitely not all women, in the Bay Area and much less in general. "Most Americans" is not a judgement on human beings, "most American men" is not a judgement on all men, so why should "most Bay Area women" be a judgement on all women? And this is even assuming that that remark corresponds to some deep conviction, which is a silly assumption given the style and the context.
The best performance this year will be SiFive's "HiFive Unmatched" with four cores more or less equivalent to an ARM A55. Raw speed should be a little quicker than a Raspberry Pi 3, but the user experience will be better because it has an M.2 slot for a modern SSD, a PCIe slot that Radeon graphics cards work in (they demonstrate it with an RX 580), and 16 GB RAM. Pricey at $665 for the Mini-ITX motherboard with CPU and RAM, but it will give the best user experience. Production version is due to ship at the end of this month.

Next is the BeagleV "StarLight". It uses the same SiFive cpu cores but in an SoC from a different company, and with a built in PowerVR GPU. It runs off SD card, but once booted can use USB3 disks. At $119 for 4 GB or $149 for 8 GB it's not a lot worse of a computer than the Unmatched. Due to ship September, I have a beta developer board now.

Allwinner have their D1 chip in mass production right now. It has a single core running at 1.0 GHz with a draft version 0.7.1 128 bit RISC-V Vector unit, which improves the speed often 2-3x. Sipeed and Pine64 have promised Linux boards using the chip in the next couple of months starting at $10 or $12. Probably with only 256 MB or 512 MB RAM at that price. That's very competitive against Raspberry Pi Zero. I've had access to an Allwinner Evaluation Board for a couple of weeks and it's very very nice is they can get boards out at those prices.

All the above are 64 bit and run Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu (I recommend Ubuntu as they have 21.04 images for RISC-V) and others coming.

If you want a full featured desktop experience with web browser loading heavy sites, watching YouTube etc then you'll want the Unmatched, but the BeagleV will be close. Note: such a web browser isn't available yet, but once developers have these boards themselves as daily drivers it will happen.

While the Unmatched / BeagleV CPU is similar to a Pi 3, with more RAM and better peripherals (especially in the Unmatched) I expect the overall experience to be like a Core 2 Duo from the mid 2000s, maybe better for many things with a decent video card. Think: original MacBook Air.

People don't need "to be fooled" in order to get them to try highly processed plant products. Truth in advertising and all that.

If you're selling processed plants or insects, great, market it and label it as such. If it's yummy, people will lap it up.
> All three points are really just the same point repeated three times

Absolutely not. Having worked with Mercurial LFS and Git LFS, the differences seem subtle but they are there. Basically,

In Mercurial, LFS is (to an extent) an implementation detail of how you check out a repository. It doesn't mean altering the repository contents itself (the data), it just means altering how you get that data. Contrast with Git LFS, where the data itself must be altered in order to become LFS data, and the "LFS flag" is recorded in history.

This is not something that you would solve by upstreaming LFS. You would need to redesign LFS.

I was thinking about it and the issue is really the "if there's no compatible hardware llvmpipe will just take care of it" attitude. If you watch these software rendered graphics carefully (or read the code) they make trade-offs that allow everything to work with low input latency and render in real time and sometimes that means "corrupt" looking graphics on the screen which the OpenGL style graphics won't generate (the frame is either done or it gets skipped.)
>hearing jargon like “alpha waves” or “beta waves”. Participants would learn to move cursors by learning to create the neurological activity that was being listened for.

Previous efforts included moving a cursor with the implanted Utah array, which I don't think was just based on broad brain waves was it?

Are you thinking of non-invasive devices? Neuralink didn't invent implanted microelectrode arrays. Some of their press has been around being the first one wirelessly connected to a receiver, but it wasn't first there either. Mainly their roadmap for scaling to more and more electrodes and their custom chip for processing is what's new I think, but they aren't sure if the polymer coating they are using for will hold up long term.

We have designs now that are vastly safer than Chernobyl.

> Fukushima is going to release the waste water into the sea

Why are you even bringing that up? They're going to filter out basically everything, and the released water will be completely safe.

Anyone that complains about the trace amounts of tritium had better be thousands of times more upset at coal power. Even more, they should see intentional radiation release numbers as a motivator to use tons of nuclear in the short to medium term just to get off coal faster. Coal releases so much radioactive material into the air.
Ah very cool I built something like this for our application and used a web worker to offload validation etc… did you do something similar?

That economic analysis is clearly facile. If it worked, miners would want there to be 1 transaction per block.
> All of this reveals a surprising lack of sophistication in the approach taken by both Tesla and Musk.

Unless it was a pump and dump scheme. Granted, he says they won't be selling it until later, but they can just say they've decided it'll never be viable later, then sell it. This tracks with your statement that mining transactions using more sustainable energy doesn't make sense.

Since crypto isn't regulated by the SEC, it seems like leveraging Tesla for a pump and dumb to generate capital is _not illegal_.

I wanted to love Docusaurus because I'm more of a React guy and I like MDX, but I think Vuepress is better for writing a good documentation.

Something in Docusaurus feels off. When you install it, you're not ready to go, there are a lot of things to clean and remove because it seems to be very tied to Facebook's use.

Maybe it's just me though.
That's not what has happened. The coins are now owned by India Covid Relief fund and they can sell it however they want. Crashing the price would be against their interests since the whole point is to use the money for a humanitarian cause.
Around 1984, I worked for a Unix workstation manufacturer named Callan Data Systems [1]. Our workstations were 68k based and ran System V.

Except for one that was sitting in a corner of the main office, which I noticed was running CP/M-68K.

I asked around and found out that this was for the accounting people. It wasn't because they needed some accounting software that wasn't available for Unix. Everything they were interested in could easily be done on Unix.

So why did accounting choose CP/M-68K?

Because they assumed (correctly, it turned out) that in a company where all the engineers were Unix kernel hackers, running CP/M would keep all the engineers from messing with accounting's computer.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callan_Data_Systems (BTW, Wikipedia says Callan was founded by Dave Callan. That's only partially correct. There were actually three equal founders. They could not agree on a name for the company, and it got to the point where the only thing stopping them from starting was having a name to put on the paperwork. One weekend the other two founders went away on a hunting trip, and when they came back Callan told them he'd picked a temporary name and filed the paperwork, and they could change it to the real name later when they came up with one. They never did agree on a "real" name, and so the company retained Callan's "temporary" name, Callan Data Systems).

> I'm no fan of the man, but banning Trump, in retrospect, will be a mistake. From now on

This precedent was set in the late 2000s when Facebook, Google, and Twitter started massive campaigns to investigate, report and remove Islamic extremist content on their platforms. A lot of legitimate non-extremist Islamic content and users got caught up in the censorship.
> The Palestinian identity is historically bound up with opposition to Israel

Yeah, I wonder why is that. It's not like they have any valid reason to be against Israel, like having their land being taken away from them in what is basically a lebensraum, so it's surely has to be just some kind of irrational hatred towards Jews.
Why do you think Internet media is different? News outlets have political agenda, so do people who comment on reddit or create websites, it's inherently biased.

Great job! Looks like there’s a layout issue on mobile for your homepage. The content is squished to the left side of the screen in portrait mode. Switching to landscape mode fixes it.
Definitely not unrestricted, but it won't run in the first place and you'll end up with a broken page. You need to first load the worklets from JS that runs in the context of the page itself.
They also have the advantage of controlling the compiler used by effectively the entire development ecosystem. And have groomed that ecosystem through carrots and sticks to upgrade their compilers and rebuild their applications regularly (or use bitcode!)

A compiler code generator that knows about a hypothetical two divide units (or just a much more efficient single unit) could be much more effective statically scheduling around them.

I’d guess that the bulk of the software running on the highest margin Intel Xeons was compiled some years ago and tuned for microarchitectures even older.
the context of my remark is:

2. what if both sides are?

3. then consider which side is killing people

>This is a TUNING problem and it seems like social media companies have to find a way to balance on this

OK -- to play nice, let's say it's a tuning problem.

Why didn't this 'tuning problem' get fixed the first few times politically motivated messages got 'disappeared'?

At what point does the responsibility lie on those massaging the tuning methods?

my personal view is that social media is heavily gamed by the three-letter-agencies and all of their equivalents abroad. The existence of internal 'squads' within most of these groups that focus on social media networks reinforces that personal view -- if it wasn't an important battle ground then why form squadrons to seize and control it?
> If John Oliver dedicates a whole episode to that problem

I'm not sure. He also got a lot wrong. Here's a response from an environmental scientist that specializes in nuclear waste disposal[0]. Honestly that episode caused me to be more critical of him. Of course it is always easy to fall victim to the Murray Gellman effect, but we should try our best not to and if some authoritative source is incorrectly characterizing a field you're intimately familiar with, you should be more careful with that source in the future. I mean he is a comedian first and foremost and the conclusion does essentially come down to "experts are dumb" which is a little insane to hear and rather insulting. Especially with a topic that is extremely complex and difficult to understand.
