I've had the same thoughts. Roads are basically moving around cars, which move people and resources. This is the same function as red blood cells. This analogy includes white blood cells-- highway patrol police. People are perhaps the oxygen which is the catalyst for everything to work, and the resources like food, materials, etc., are like the nutrients the human body needs. Buildings are also individual cells of different kinds, and you can see different buildings have different functions as well, just like cells.

I think cities are clusters of cells, and just like clusters of cells in the body, they perform functions that could, in turn, categorize them as "organs", because there is a dominant industry in that city, and the buildings in that city serve specific functions that get exported out to the rest of the cities in the country or the world.

I think the paper's analysis is interesting, but I also think the starting point for the analysis should be function and not hierarchical structure, which is mostly static.
It's very easy to justify doing something to benefit yourself while writing it off as justified, and getting massively offended when someone does the same thing to your perceived detriment.

Ask HN: Why Rust?
Yes, WoLF is a TERF hate group.
As someone who has had to deal with legacy C++ compilers from multiple platforms, I didn't have the luxury of dropping compilers I didn't like but instead had to program to the lowest common (working) denominator of those frontends.

For a frontend to be taken seriously, I see the following questions needing to be addressed:

- How long until the frontend is viable?

- What will it take to keep the frontend is viable?

- How far will each frontend lag in shipping lang/lib features?

- What is the relative user upgrade cadence of each frontend?

- How do developers test multiple frontend versions?

- How do developers workaround frontend bugs?

- How do we communicate out frontend support for crates, especially if crate authors take the approach of this person and drop support as they become a problem for them?

A GCC backend for rustc is a smaller, well scoped target that can more easily be kept up-to-date (I would hope, upstreamed in Rust) that resolves a lot of the pressing needs (platform support).

For any finite resource allocation, I see getting a GCC backend to be a priority for quick wins and then focus on gcc-rs as an experimental hedge against future problems.

No option is universal (not one of my kids' friends uses WhatsApp or Instagram, for example), although Zoom is near-universal in my family's world. FaceTime is a great option for friends/family who use iOS, and I'm glad to see Android and Windows support. It wouldn't surprise me to see it join Apple Music and Apple TV as an Android-native app.

Great question!

All existing online eye exams focus on prescription renewals and omit the eye health checks that you would get in an in-person visit. (An optometrist can catch all sorts of issues - eye tumors, early signs of glaucoma etc.) We're working to build a better and safer way to access the full spectrum of eye care online, going beyond just prescription renewals.

The current exam has some eye health maneuvers that flag unusual symptoms and intake answers that should be investigated more closely. This is just the start though - much more in the works!
I already have trust issues with stuff like Replit and similar products that try to move everything off my computer that I own and control and on to their server. I see the value in it but I would never trust it. Good to see their CEO show his true colors.

I'm far from an expert on these matters but my understanding is that using capital letters to start sentences is done because it helps anchor the reader's place in the text. When capital letters are excluded, it's easier for a person to lose their place while reading. There are other ways this could be accomplished such as returning to the old custom of using two spaces between sentences or making sentence ending punctuation marks larger or heavier, but initial capital letters is the one English has settled on and is almost universally used.
There must be some kind of exploit available, with that domain up for grabs and millions of dev environments pointing at it?

Just as a note - it is trivial to register a domain like `foobar.test` and have `foobar.test` and `*.foobar.test` all resolve to 127.0.0.1. And it is under your control.
I think Zoom is more "For everyone" than just for business. At least until they decide to start charging for it.
You tell the employees that they are working for a HDD factory. A small number of people at the top of the company are in on it and keep sales limited to one or a small number of clients, all of whom are the clandestine buyer.

That would be similar to the way in which the fake Swiss cryptographic machine manufacturer was run. Their only leak risks were from employees who realized that their cryptosystem was easily broken. An HDD manufacturer would not have that problem because all of its work would be perfectly legitimate.

The lack of education or at least lack of willingness to read and educate oneself in this thread shouldn’t surprise me yet again.

I can only come to the conclusion that social media is a net negative on society, since I can’t help educate ignorance, and people are unwilling to educate themselves when they have firmly held beliefs.

Social media simply allows people to become more entrenched. And some people will view this comment as the same, a form of relativism. The difference that social media comments gloss over, is there are often truths vs falsehoods. Facts vs prejudice. Social media makes it too easy to confuse the two.

HN... you are more of the same. Like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc etc. Unless these websites take measures to actively mod dis-information, they will be a net negative.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s definitely debatable how China’s socialism has evolved, what elements of Capitalism it now uses. What it’s future path holds. But no textbook, no Encyclopedia will claim that China is not socialist. To do so is not only ignorant, but in the current climate aids a propaganda narrative that continues to allow massive human rights violations.

It’s time social media sites say that user base size, absolute profits, etc are not more important than facts. More people get their information from social media than textbooks, educational systems, and primary sources than ever before.

Democracies which require informed citizenship cannot survive in such circumstances.

The writing is on the wall all around us. Let’s educate ourselves before we fall into darkness

“The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.” — Carl Sagan
The emails from the company make it clear that at least one party to the dispute believed that they did use Replit's internal design decisions. Commercial companies approaching the same problem certainly would offer similar feature sets. But an employee reading the source code and then starting a git repo that makes a working version of the product freely available is a pretty big deal. It doesn't have to be copy-pasted to be valuable intellectual property. (though, I do agree that THIS was unlikely to actually be valuable IP haha)
Some people enjoy harassing other people with lawyers. Saying it’s not in their interest is meaningless when someone is willing to spend 100k on a neighborhood fence dispute.
> They have come out AGAINST various other free speech that "negatively impacts" folks whose voices are less strong.

I'm not sure what speech you're driving at specifically, but I want to make sure we're distinguishing between "voices of minority communities" (ignoring for the moment that racial/ethnic communities aren't homogeneous blocks) and "progressive voices that purport to speak on behalf of minority communities". In the latter case, we often find that the progressive caricature of minorities differs a lot from reality--e.g., the narrative that the black community wants to abolish/defund the police, an opinion which only represents something like 20-30% of the black community.

To be clear, I don't think you're necessarily conflating anything, but this is a common point of misunderstanding and I want to make sure we clarify up front to avoid predictable misunderstandings.

As an individual, absolutely.

As an organization with a purpose (among others) to defend all legal speech, no. Their credibility is completely undermined.

As a very bad analogy, let's pretend the ACLU also explicitly expressed the belief that all drug use is bad and immoral (even legal drugs). Do you think they could credibly claim to equally defend people's rights in drug cases? Do you think they could avoid internal bias when choosing which cases to defend?

BTW Covid most likely would have killed many of CCP's elders unless they had a vaccine or a preventative drug before Covid was released. How much of the CCP ruling bureaucracy died off during the Covid pandemic? If none, it would support the argument that Covid was an intentional release.

Ask HN: Has it suddenly become exceedingly hard to attract full-time employees?
If you're a hiring manager, have you felt the burn trying to find and attract people to full-time roles? And if so, what are you seeing?

Sourcing has become near impossible with most candidates bombarded by recruiters, so even as hiring manager, your message is likely being ignored. Inbound applications are down and convincing experienced folks to switch jobs has become harder than ever.

The pandemic has also made moonlighting more universal and more people looking for remote/part-time/fractional work.

I wonder if anyone else is noticing this too. On the flip side, I wonder how folks looking for full-time roles are faring.

True - I am excluding historical events and looking only at current state. I'm excluding the american genocide of the natives for the same reason i'm excluding historical Chinese atrocities. While these are important events and did influence the cultures and societies of their respective countries I think it's more important to examine what the current generation of living people is actually doing to understand the structure of both systems.

[edit] - I incorrectly identified China as the bad guy in a historical event where they were the victim. My bad. Point still stands.

I think your understanding is incorrect. That site says specifically says without qualification:

Perhaps you can cite something to add additional context. You amy or may not be aware that there are already laws designed to prevent discrimination against protected classes, and one sort of civil liberty is being able to enjoy the protection of the laws.

This is unfortunate misunderstanding. It's the deconstructive postmodernism that did the discreditation of Stage 4. Author in the paragraphs after "Deconstructive postmodernism" explains that first postmodernists were okay because they understood stage 4 rationality and they actually made forays toward stage 5. But their most vocal followers did not understood stage 4 at all and so they bastardized it.
Thanks for your story. I hear what you are saying and I do plan to get a second opinion. Apparently here in the US there are some people who have had their glaucoma un-diagnosed.

But I have some confidence that its real. First, my doc wasn't eager to do it, she just suspected it at first, and we did some tests and waited for a while. But later, a followup visual field test did show some actual loss in one of my eyes, but not something I noticed.

The whole business with the drops is annoying, but its not unexpected. Still, that would be a business model worth disrupting.

> mrustc is not the solution [...] as it’s only capable of building rustc 1.39

This seems like an odd point. Instead of updating mrustc to support a couple of more features every once and a while we should write a whole new frontend? It seems like they are basically solving the same problem, except mrustc has chosen a subset of it (it assumes correct code). Of course GCC-rs also has a subset in a way as most of the codegen is handled by the GCC core.

To be clear I'm not saying that mrustc is a better approach to bootstrapping, but for this specific point is seems that the two approaches are basically equivalent.

> the ethics of trying to open source a similar project to your old employers product is morally ambiguous at best

I don't think it's bad at all, considering replit is itself built on open-source software, and the CEO is a loud champion of open-source software, and the intern's project only explores one relatively small aspect (number of languages supported) of the problem space while purposefully ignoring all the other stuff necessary to build a competing product
From my perspective, screen technology was still being developed. As shown in that archive.org video, CRTs were still dominant at that time because they were much cheaper than large full color LCDs. Those who could afford a large color LCD generally preferred a laptop. Only after the price of color LCDs came down did it make sense for people to buy tablets. Precision multi-touch sensitivity also turned out to be a turning point in adoption.

Sounds like you know the language-specific AST tooling for your stack well, but if you are looking for AST patching that uses a generic approach across many languages, I'm a maintainer for a project named Semgrep (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semgrep#History) which was created by one of the original coccinelle authors.

It supports many more languages (~17 at various stages of development) and being able to do AST patching as in the original is one of the capabilities we're experimenting with: https://semgrep.dev/docs/experiments/overview/#autofix
