But how did you decide that this is what you wanted? It is a big, life-changing decision to make. Did you wake up one morning and think, 'you know what, having a child would really make my life a lot better'? Or had you been looking forward to becoming a parent from an early age, and were just looking for the right time?

E.g. I certainly didn't even think of it when I was 16 - I was dreaming of other things. Nothing much changed at 25. In my 30s, I am only considering it because it is part of the 'life script' and 'now or never' kind of situation, not because I can't wait to do it. Was it different for you? In an ideal world, I would maybe do it when I'm retired in my late 50s and 60s. I.e. I would prefer to skip children and go straight to grandchildren.
I love being able to use anonymous payments and I don't do anything malicious.
I don't know anything about formal correctness proofs but my imagination tells me it is bounded by the description of the task. Aren't we just shifting the bugs toward the task description? Or is it about being able to specify a task with a very simple program (e.g. brute force) that is unfeasible to run but can be somehow used to verify that simpler (in terms of runtime complexity) programs provide the same outputs?
Given that the first North American settlers were basically fugitives from Great Britain, and all other colonies were there to exploit local resources and people, the US was first and foremost a money thing. Also for the Boston tea party, which was as much about independence as it was about taxes.

And how enlightened can a nation be that is among the last to abolish slavery, and that had to fight a civil war about that very question.
So, now I need to buy Gregory Stock’s The Book of Questions.
On Rust’s pointer-sized integer types, the design was subject to much agonising in 2013–2014. If you’re interested in the history, the end point is https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/0544-rename-int-uint.html, and the GitHub comments on that RFC and earlier proposals, and earlier discussions on discuss.rust-lang.org as it was at the time (now renamed without redirect (grr!), change any links to internals.rust-lang.org).

Beyond this, I speak as one who hasn’t done any embedded work or touched a platform where what this article calls “data width” and “address width” differ.

I suspect that the key here for Rust is that it simply doesn’t have a type for what this article calls “data width”, because it wasn’t found to be useful. I’m not certain why you’d actually need such a type; I’m guessing that the only place it matters is the size of registers, which surface-level Rust doesn’t need to worry about, though I’m not sure if asm! has anything to do with it. I can imagine that things like GPIO pins which might need data width? will be done in a library for a specific board, and can thus define the type themselves.

I also have a vague feeling that there’s also a third concept here, not just the two: that what I’ve called “data width” in the previous paragraph is actually “word size”, which could potentially be smaller again. Something about an 8-bit architecture with 16-bit address space and 32-bit pointers. Can’t remember if register sizes are consistent, either.

I’m writing fairly incoherently and inaccurately here because I really don’t know what I’m talking about. :-)

> Let's agree that copy/paste from stack overflow is bad

I think context is important. It's not inherently bad. If you are inexperienced or don't know what the code/command is doing then yes that's not ideal.

But competent developers using Stack Overflow (and all other external memory devices) appropriately to aid their workflow is perfectly valid.

I rarely copy/paste verbatim from Stack Overflow (apart from perhaps bash commands where the answer is literally the exact command I need - and in that case, why would I not use it?). But I do copy/paste, as long as I understand the code, and then adjust it accordingly.

In my experience of coaching junior devs. The number one skill I've had to train them in, above all else, is the ability to efficiently search for and find answers to their questions/unknowns quickly. (As well as digest those answers and incorporate the knowledge into their understanding - not just blind copy/paste).

I'd go as far as to say that If you are a developer in 2021 and not constantly looking up things for reference (whether to jog your memory or to quickly learn new concepts) then you're either a genius with a photographic memory, working in a very constrained domain that isn't stretching you or you're just plain doing it wrong. :-)

Free market economics is the idea of humans having a Right to Property. It isn't a thing, let alone capable of "telling" you something.

You're confusing advertising with a philosophical concept of freedom.

Oh god, they're awful. Every other year the state supreme court slaps down the state legislature for trying to go cheap on the schools, especially in western Kansas where it's most needed. It's not as bad as Oklahoma in this regard but it's still awful. It's one of the reasons why it's next to impossible to get anyone that comes out of KU or KSU or even WSU (Wichita State) to stick around if their degree is in demand. For example, aerospace engineers move out to Denver quite early since that's where all the offices seem to be (so much for Wichita being the "air capital of the world" hah).
Really? I mean, you don't think Real America also has a problem with coexistence? It's all the fault of the hippies?

This kind of rhetoric is everywhere among the Trumpist right, not just among shitposters on the internet but coming out of the mouths of media figures, elected officials and thought leaders.

I guess it's a highly personal path.

What has always been important to me was to realize:

Good outcomes for society do not require a handful of geniuses. Good outcomes for society require thousands of risk-takers who are willing to throw themselves at hard problems. Almost all will fail. But it's necessary that they try, or no progress will be made.

So whatever your ambition is or was: It matters that you tried.
The problem is, that previously, if you wrote a book about a poster, you put the photo of the poster directly in your book, and the reader could see the poster there.

Now you write an article about a poster, and instead of a photo, there is an embedded instagram photo from the artist, who then removed their account, and the content is missing. Or a hotlink to the authors website, and it's missing there too.

Yes, if the book was destroyed too, all info about the poster was lost, but atleast the book didn't say "go to the corner of X and Y street, and hope it wasn't removed or destroyed by the weather".
My interpretation is that they don't want users to go to a specific URL, Google wants users to search for it (and click an ad) on Google.

2FA is more to protect users from phishing attempts than for securing a database, at least in my view. If you fall for a phishing attempt, it means your attacker will need to take the extra step of breaching/replicating your 2FA setup, and the service provider can note the login attempts and notify you (giving you a chance to change your password, rendering the result of the initial attack unusable).

2FA is not for securing a database -- salted+hashed passwords do that.
These look very interesting, and probably aren't that hard to come by where I live. I'll try them. Thanks!
To close, let me say that this post ended up being more negative than I expected and, like Nessie, my opinion may rise in the future when I understand the implications of the Prophet generative model better, and either modify it or find better ways to identify its strengths. The unanswered question here is why Prophet is so popular, and this surely merits a better explanation than I have given. I think there are probably statistical angles I am not seeing - something reflecting the fact that people are voting with their eyeballs when they use Prophet.

When I visit SO, I generally read all the answers and can pretty immediately judge "I think this approach is good" or "I don't think this approach is good" just by reading the code. I can't see why these suggestions would be any different. And in the perhaps more common case where I already know exactly what I want to do it can still save time to have the plug-in autocomplete it (I make heavy use of tab completion today after all).
Well, I had a toilet problem a week ago. Looking it up on YouTube, I found a plumber who demonstrated a solution. Five minutes of work and the problem was resolved.

IDK how much I saved, but at least 2000 CZK (approx. 80 dollars). Not to mention that I didn't have to wait for the plumber to arrive, which would take a few days, probably.
The surprising/interesting thing about this article is the notion that insertion order is the order that you want to iterate through a hash map.

In my experience, I'm doing either (A) using them as associative memory (I want the value for a key) and I don't ever iterate, or (B) I don't care about order when I iterate (I'm summing values, say) or (C) I want the keys in some sorted order, that probably has nothing whatsoever to do with insertion order (counting keywords, then showing them in alphabetical order).

So I'm curious why the insertion order is preferred, in your experience.
Also, it's ironic that they're advertising a VPN through this injected ad. A VPN would do absolutely nothing to help you in this case, since the SMS message would be passed from Google to the telco unencrypted; the VPN wouldn't change the SMS protocol to let Google send you the message directly.
They're working on fixing that in a way that explicitly excludes white people, and ignores 'real' properties of IQ.

There's a point to be made that we are pushing the vaccine into millions of arms without knowing the long-term effects of them. Having studied them for over a year, all of the data points to the vaccines being safe for 99.999% of people who take them. It would be great to have some kind of time compression machine and be able to see the long-term effects -- say 10 years out -- but at some point the evidence of safety is strong enough that we decide pandemic risk >> vaccine risk.

> companies that are unwilling to hire across language or timezone boundaries

Companies might still be reluctant to hire across language or time zone boundaries. It might be explicit, but more likely it'll be less conscious resistance among interviewers and attrition among the "odd ones out" themselves. The result's practically the same. And if the bulk of the team is in US/Pacific, then same time zone doesn't include many other countries.

I think the job market is going to soften, but not totally collapse. Some jobs will shift to other countries for much less money (as has been going on for decades BTW). Some will shift outside SV but still within the US for slightly less money.

This impacts ssh sessions too, you can set ServerAliveInterval N (/home/user/.ssh/config on the ssh client machine) to some reasonable number to keep it alive.
Except that's not how it's stored on the disk itself. All of the sectors on your drives are in base 2.

2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 sector sizes...

So even if your files are 200GB, the actual space they consume are not base 10 as you count on your storage cluster, but 200GB plus the last remaining sector that is used but unfilled as the rest of that sector cannot be used by another file.

You can count your sizes in Base 10 but the actual use of space is still Base 2.

If a file is exactly 1000 bits and your sector sizes are 1024... that 1000 bit file is using 1024 bits of space on that drive.

And no, just because they advertise or display drives as having 1,000,000 Bytes = 1MB... it doesn't change how space is sectored out on that drive itself.

Is that why German cars are selling so well in the US, because US cars are better? I also doubt that on average US housing is better than European housing. Don't get even started with health care. All numbers I know show, that consumer debt is way lower in the EU than the US.

A country is much more than just one of its higher paying industries, especially if that industry is such an outlier like SV.

> I think your broader thesis, while amusing, is ignoring some of the biggest and most valuable brands ever created... Apple, Rolex, Mercedes...

Hey, thanks for the condescension. I thought we didn't do things like that on HN, but I am often wrong.

I actually worked for one of them "biggest and most valuable brands" for a couple of decades, so there's a good chance that my "thesis" might have legs.

Look, I actually agree with a lot of what you wrote, but I wasn't deliberately calling your baby ugly, and don't really appreciate the reaction. I did not mean to attack you, and am actually sorry that my comment was perceived as such. If I could delete the first line of my comment, I would. It's accurate, but I can see it as being inflammatory.

Few years ago, I thought the same, that "old PC motherboards are under-appreciated", but trying to use them is just not very practical.

The whole thing is so big -- you need the PC itself (with huge PSU), plus a monitor, plus a keyboard. It takes a lot of power, too, and any sort of battery-powered device is out of the question. And the inputs are not even that well protected -- while the audio i/o is pretty robust, internal headers are not.

Compare them to chinese Arduino clones or esp8266 board -- for $3, the price of a sandwich, you get a tiny board with excellent (or at least decent) documentation and lots of protected inputs and outputs. You can do hard real time too, with a bit of effort. And since all data/code is stored on your main laptop and PC you don't have to worry about backups or data loss from destroyed devices.

(Note: if you want to support reusing old items, then raw atmega chips + serial-usb cables from old cell phones work as well, but require a bit more soldering)

(Note: and if you really want to use old motherboards, don't forget about serial and parallel ports! Lots of pins, pretty protected, and very easy to programs)

North American settlers were far from uniform historically. Some were first and foremost after money and power (e.g. the first Southern plantation owners were quite unapologetically so). Other "fugitives" were rather more concerned about pursuing various combinations of public-mindedness, radical autonomy and broad-based opportunity. North American settlement was a rather complex story.

The first problematic thing with this statement is the notion that a nation can be defined by some ideal or ideology. This really isn't it. A nation is defined by it's people, language, customs, social organization, individual values etc. Those may have little do do with stated ideals.

I'm the last person to support CRT mostly because I think it gets out of hand quickly - but you can use CRT to deconstruct your statement pretty quickly: Slavery, which is antithetical to 'Enlightenment and Classical Liberal Values' - is a core aspect of the American historical reality.

You can't have 25% of your population as slaves and then say 'We're based on Enlightenment Ideals!'. That's an irreconcilable dissonance.

This what I was hinting at in my opening paragraph: 'what you say you are isn't really want you are' ... and also 'what you are is not an idea'.

I think it would be useful to dismiss most of the 'ideals' people think they have or had and just look at the people involved and what happened.

What specifically do you hash?

How do you hash content which is programmatically determined and changes on every page load?

How do you account for the same work in multiple versions, translations, or updates, strictly using hashes?

"So someone who makes a truly groundbreaking invention but for some reason (e.g. it requires huge capital) does not want to create a company for manufacturing it, should not be able to use patents?"

Correct. A patent is for protecting your profits after you invent something, right? So if you aren't making anything then all you are doing is fruitlessly locking up some novel insight for a period of time. You also aren't experiencing a damage to your zero profit. Worse, what we are seeing is questionably novel patents being used years after their time to browbeat people that actually do things and actually make things.

I would not weep if we were to abolish patent laws. I've been told they are there to help and support inventors but I've seen little evidence that this is the case.

Yes. Figuring out what a program SHOULD do is often as hard as figuring out how to actually do it. The relative difficulty shifts depending how far you are from the real world. The closer your project is to actual people doing actual work, the harder it is to define the requirements precisely.
