Didn't that recent critique of this project say that they've already imported some Rust code, so that wouldn't be true.
I'm curious about the neck piece of it. I grind at night, too, but I have neck and upper back issues despite everything I do to prevent, including years of PT exercises.
Just FYI, Zurich is a much smaller city than people think. It has a population of only 400k.
An Hydro plant doesn't have the same security requirements as a nuclear one. You may think for example to shielding for ionizing radiation. It all adds up to the count.
GraphQL makes sense for building user experience. Not so much for server side. gRPC is way better for server-server
Consumers didn't enthusiastically abandon cash. Credit cards were introduced in the 60s, it took several decades for credit cards to overtake cash and it only happened because of the convenience factor for credit vs carrying cash as well as alternative debit cards that work just like credit cards. Credit was regularly rejected by stores and businesses as recently as one decade ago.

I don't use dispute resolution unless someone actually stole my credit card number like when my card info was jacked at a gas pump one time. Credit cards are quite insecure and we still have to type in all our personal info online every single transaction which is dangerous and dumb and makes the whole system vulnerable to credit card fraud in a way that crypto isn't. When you use crypto you simply sign a transaction message, you don't have to give away your private keys to make the transaction occur.
How about forced sterilization, forced abortions, and the interplay between the one child policy and culture that led to massive numbers of sex-targeted abortions and infanticide? Calling it "population control" euphemizes away the horrible human cost of the enforcement methods and the collateral damage.

I'd agree it's not the worst thing they've done so far, but given that they're actively committing genocide that's a pretty high bar.

> What about the Iranian approach to the U.S.? What if Iran stopped development of nuclear weapons and attacking U.S. forces in Iraq and elsewhere, or sponsoring organizations that are destabilizing the Middle East? It's not like they're not also agitating the situation. It's in their best interest because that way they can maintain power.

It takes threee to tango in this situation

Provocations and aggressions that maybe the US should perhaps stop doing:

- presidential candidates gleefully parodying beach boy songs about bombing Iran. [1]

- spending many 10s of billions of America’s hard earned tax dollars surroinsing Iran with several dozen military bases. [2]

- Assassinating or supporting Israel in assassinating Iranian scientists abroad.[3]

- or assassinating Iranian military leaders [4]

- Organizing violent military coups to replace democratically elected governments with Radical Islamist puppet dictatorships [5], [6]

- Gatekeeping nuclear power by releasing destructive viruses into the world to destroy Iranian Nuclear research labs [7]

I would really like a collection of open source and privacy-aware web based language tools, preferably supported directly by the browser or as a plugin. It's crazy that the only language tool browsers support by default is a mediocre spellchecker enabled for the textarea, the most basic of input elements.
You're right, that is big issue. Anyway, it's a matter of a lot of things that adds up together.
If you pass up Czech Stop for a Buc-ees, you should be tried for treason. At the least, driven to the border and asked not to come back.

Yes and biofuels will refine themselves. Plastics will be recycled themselves. Chemicals will be produced from software. And ships will be sailing powered by pure love.

This notion of comparing chemical manufacturing to an addiction is insane. Don't know who came up with this idea, but it is not good even as a joke.
Amazing. Is this x86 ? http://mikeos.sourceforge.net/
A major challenge is that there is an enormous disincentive to choose the best solutions, since advocates tend to own a lot of coins. If you’ve got a considerable portion of your wealth wrapped up in btc then something showing up and eating btc’s lunch is bad for you. This is very different than many other fields of innovation, where friction to move to better options is far far lower.

Not much need to (or benefit in doing so). If you're somebody like AnalogMan, building pedals with careful selection of NOS transistors wired point-to-point, this is so utterly not a threat to you.

I've seen entirely analog circuits designed and built with the PCB parts and techniques used in these devices, that are miles away from the quality of good pedals, without even being digital or modeling at all. I'm sure the problem circuits measure completely fine, and then you A/B them with a truly great pedal and it's chalk and cheese.

If you try to argue the point, people committed to the digital modeling model get quite fierce, so tone hounds learn to just roll their eyes and not engage. You can also think of it as learning to rely on secret weapons.
Yes, any PII that you obtain for a user for the express and sole purpose of something that the user asks of you (like a delivery address or a session cookie or a name to be printed on a business card) requires no further explicit approval

if you are going to use it for something else, like sending a weekly brochure after the delivery you do have to ask permission for that additional action

I did! Just last night. Was excited to see this post!
SPAC is Special-purpose Acquisition Company. From wikipedia,

> ... a shell corporation listed on a stock exchange with the purpose of acquiring a private company, thus making it public without going through the traditional initial public offering process.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special-purpose_acquisition_co...

From the article:

> Palihapitiya promotes the SPAC as an innovation that “democratizes access to high-growth companies” while “dismantling” the “traditional capital market.” But he has sometimes acknowledged a simpler allegiance. “I want the fucking money,” he told students at Stanford’s business school, in 2017. “I will play the goddam game, and I will win.”
> then I saw everyone was playing corporate chess in the background and complaining about me to my managers for reasons I'm yet to comprehend.

Exactly! and with safety net they have, they're able to afford to play political games without the risk of losing their job. I put years of effort into building products only to be discredited because I didn't pay attention on politics & just focused on building stuff.

Then there is also favoritism. They tend to stick with each other. They sometimes openly hire their past-colleagues/friends.

reference; I worked at a couple corporations here, some of the biggest ones.
Very much so. All addictions even the chemical ones are happening in the brain. Whether the condition is present with or without the initial introduction of chemicals is moot.

I'm glad the comments here are quoting addiction to social media rather than technology. If the tech wasn't connected to real people providing input I don't think these people would care.

I'm probably an outlier (though maybe not so much on HN) that I'm more addicted to computers as an extension of myself and can easily go without touching my phone or social media for a day and much less so my PC/laptop.
That's not necessary. And FPGA doesn't have lower latency (I mean on the ms scale) compared to a Pi because of hardware. It has lower latency because it doesn't run a non-realtime OS.

You can just use a Pi with bare metal code or a real time OS.
IMO every technology have some minimal accepted level of code quality. Usually it depends on the community or ecosystem, not the tech per say. I.e. usually the code quality of Matlab code will be lower than of C++.

IMO code quality of projects using REST-like HTTP APIs is usually lower than the corresponding projects using GraphQL APIs. Just like some people do not care to learn Javascript properly because of its perceived simplicity, for the same reason they are also don't care to learn REST properly.

How many of HTTP APIs have a corresponding OpenAPI spec?
And if they have, is it actually kept in sync with the code?
Does it have proper type definitions, or everything is of a type "string"?

If you are a Stripe you can design a perfect RESTful HTTP API, but for a smaller shop it's much easier to build a moderately good GraphQL API than a corresponding quality HTTP API.

GraphQL forces you:

1. to learn it, instead of blindly using code generated by your web framework
2. to think about your schema
3. to think about backward and forward compatibility, how you your schema will evolve
3. to apply CQS (Command/Query separation)
4. to think how to properly do pagination
5. to think about security
6. to think about error handling, error retries and idempotency of your mutations
etc.

EDIT: For me personally GraphQL was one of the triggers to start serious research on Software Engineering, Software Correctness and Code Quality.

"Combi boiler" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating#Combina...). Are these not common elsewhere in the world? We got rid of our old tank and central heating system and replaced it with a combi a few years ago. We simultaneously gained lots of extra space - a whole walk-in cupboard and a lot of loft space - while gaining a new device which requires hundreds of pounds of replacement parts every year. Really the most unreliable of technologies, but also very convenient when it's working.

MMP by definition guarantees a direct representative for each district.

You can think of it as FPTP (per district) and a party-list election at the same time. The FPTP winner in each district gets a guaranteed seat, but the remaining seats are filled (based on the party lists) such that the final proportions in parlament match the party-list election.

In theory, you get the best of both worlds: a direct representative for everyone and parlament according to popular vote.

The 2 who were elected were a former Tesoro executive (oil refiner) and a Neste (another oil refiner) busdev person who helped develop their industry leading biofuels business. You can see why a vanguard or Blackrock would sign up for that as they actually make sense for an oil company. Really, we should be asking who the heck the other, existing board members are and why were either of these picks were controversial to management?
I can only second this. I entered software because I enjoyed making things with little computing devices. It was unlocking many new possibilities compared to a non-IT job that I could never do otherwise, since we had not much resources in our disposal.

It definitely has nutty energy. I think if you survive the lengthy virtual reality sequence near the beginning it has some bits that are okay. I was actually quite impressed by Rihanna playing the shapeshifting Glamopod entertainer.

And interesting to see a French rather than a Hollywood sci-fi film.
Honestly, not that much higher...i think? I'm a data science person so not dev, but feel like salaries above 65k or so not hugely common?
A junior engineer (with a Masters) in most of western Europe makes 30-40k€/year before taxes. After 10 years, he'll make 50-70k€/year.
There are 3 or 4 non-tech or semi-tech people around every dev in most operations. It is easy to make the case that the devs are worth at least 5x and great ones worth 10x
> An algorithm (pronounced AL-go-rith-um) is a procedure or formula for solving a problem, based on conducting a sequence of specified actions

As far as I'm concerned all the cookie-cutter blockbuster movies of the past 10 years have been written according to an algorithm and they were all terrible.
By far the most common solution for tragedy of the commons is property rights and that also what works the best in most cases. Solving tragedy of the commons in Britain is literally a major step in development of capitalism.

Modern economists have since done a huge amount of work on this topic and multiple noble prices have been given to work on the subject.

The idea that it is inherently a capitalist problem is nonsense, its a universal problem that exists in all human societies from hunter-gather to soviet socialism and all forms of capitalism. It can not be 'fully patched' in any system of human interaction. Humans have found millions of solution for the problem in a million different ways, there is no universal solution.

I would recommend Elinor Ostrom work to illustrate this and how such situation can be solved. She had worked on this problem for 40+ and got a noble price for it.

Other things to read are, Ronald Coase, Armen Alchian, Douglass North.
Technically trickle-down economics is a myth that is being propagated to support supply side economics. There is nothing wrong with supply side economics if your economy has supply side problems.

If your economy has demand side problems then supply side economics will do absolutely nothing.

But this doesn’t make sense. Sure in some vague sense I’m paying for the shipping but in my area the total price, everything included, on Amazon is cheaper then other online retailers before shipping and about 10-20% cheaper then brick-and-mortar stores.

I’ve stopped buying anything other than food at my local grocery store because it’s cheaper to have Amazon ship it to my door then to pick it up off the shelf.

Philosophically, I think the view is that two independent implementations will give the language more long term stability by helping it avoid the trap of a single implementation, with its bugs, being the definitive version of the language.

On the practical level, rustc is written in rust and self-hosting, so reusing code from it in gcc would mean that you needed a rust compiler as well as a c compiler to compile gcc.

Also, rustc and gcc have incompatible licenses.
It seems like a poor HN title for a very interesting article (which has a perfectly serviceable actual title btw).

The saddest thing is that there are apparently technical solutions to this that could have potentially saved the species. The article mentions fish ladders and bypasses for dams. I'm not sure if the ladders are suitable for a huge fish like this, or whether it has the necessary jumping ability, but some sort of fish bypass seems like a good idea. Hopefully this can be implemented in the future for other similarly endangered species.
Every additional mount can be considered as extra failure in design in terms of security or just being considered as laziness. Those all increase the attack vector. Even though containers are not designed in terms of isolation, every mount and volume are one step closer to break this isolation. Of course, the total risk depends on where from you are mounting.
The truth is that throughout history most people have been born as either wealth generating workers or undesired pregnancies. Children are no longer profitable in modern economies, and not a reliable retirement plan, so there is no longer an economic incentive to having them. Unwanted pregnancies can now be prevented or resolved quite easily so there are many fewer of those. All that remains today are those people who wish to have children for the url love of children and childrearing. While there are more of those now than ever -both in proportion and in total number- it is nothing in the face of the other two factors.

The problem is that any incentive to have children will. likely encourage those least capable of raising them effectively, and do nothing for those who can best be role models (because child educational achievement correlates strongly with that of their parents)... but something like free childcare but only for those couples where both have post-secondary education will go over like a lead balloon.
It's the same for crossfit and vapers. For reference I vape, but don't go telling... wait... damn.
What the Internet is enabling is folie a deux at scale.

Folie a deux is a term that basically means when you have multiple people with mental illness living together, such as a husband and wife with schizophrenia, and they reinforce each other’s delusions.

The Incels and Qanon are only two of a great many examples of Internet based cults and mental illness reinforcing echo chambers. Get used to it. I don’t think it’s going away.
I agree. For me native English speaking and number of annual sunlight hours are the two metrics I care about.
An oversimplified but useful model is that, internationally, any country's money is, in the eyes of another country, just a promise to repay. If one country sends goods to another and receives money for it, the exporting country has effectively received a bunch of promises that the importing country will eventually (repatriate the money and) give them stuff in return.

It's more complicated because the exporting country could instead give the (say) dollars to a third country in return for real stuff. But still what gives those dollars is the reasonable expectation that others will continue to value them enough to give you actual useful stuff for them.
I was hoping it would be a decent spiritual sequel to The Fifth Element... I was severely disappointed :(
Glassdoor's tool is not very useful I've found. It only even somewhat works for salary, since it doesn't require bonus or equity incentives (which is sufficient in some markets, not others), leading to deflation of total comp. It also doesn't track things like overall years of experience, or how long a person has been in a position. All of those matter, as internal raises have tended not to match the market's increase; the lower end of the market is filled with people who have been in their position a long time, the upper end of the market is people who have job hopped recently, style of thing.

The past couple of jobs I've had I came in at the upper end of Glassdoor's reported salary, for the specific company even, even when I had relatively few years in the role, and without negotiation on my part. And Glassdoor didn't at all represent bonus and equity properly. Levels.fyi did a much better job of it (but has fewer data points for non-tech companies).

I have never worked extra hours to come up to speed (and in general haven't put in extra hours, though I've sometimes had to work weird schedules due to working with people across timezones), and have pretty consistently been a high performer.

I'd still recommend just doing some searching. Worst case, you validate that your current comp is the best you can get. Mediocre case, you find you could get paid better, but not doing anything you feel comfortable taking. Best case, you find something that is interesting and exciting and will pay you better.
The argument is let's ban cryptocurrency that'll stop ransomware, which doesn't hold true. All you need is a fake identity or corrupt banking system to siphon off the funds you stole with your ransomware.

I would think they're significantly lower than what you get in the south where all the major German companies are.
Indeed. It is very important. When you do not speak the native language; the first question always will be "Where are you from?"...then the prejudice that comes with it.
Credit cards didn't exist 1000 years ago. We aren't debating about credit systems. And yes, people walked around with shiny pieces of metal in their pocket that they used for transactions for thousands of years. At some point after the printing press was invented, the move to paper currency occurred.
