Whether you call it a step or slice doesn’t matter, tick is another common term for the same concept. Fabien’s solution is mentioned in Glenn’s. Glenn just takes it a stage further afterward and allows the fractional time remaining to be accounted for when rendering.
Looks cool. I'm honestly curious as to why a lot of new web languages/frameworks are mixing logic and content in the same file again though. The distinction between HTML, JS and CSS always made perfect sense to me. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Integers are valid representations of the IP address. Why is this a shock to anyone? Most IPv4 software also still accepts dotted quads in a string...
Too late for me I found a tick on my shoulder and I tested positive for the Lyme disease. It was treated with antibiotics but my understanding is it can come back.
Nice drone footage
So you can interact with IPv4 adresses using their integer representation. And seems like HN actually accept it as valid address.
good ol’ print statements are still the best tools for the job

Apart from breakpoints debuggers (just not lldb if I'm not mistaken) can also support 'tracepoints' i.e. register a certain code location for having a custom string being printed. Can be better and more convenient than print statetemnts especially because it doesn't change the program. Also great when you have bugs which disappear after adding print statements.
The prices the EU, at least, is paying are public. IIRC they range from about 2 eur for AZ to about 30 for the MRNAs.

Today, there are no particularly effective treatments. Monoclonal antibodies might do something, and cost a few thousand quid, but you wouldn’t want to be relying on them as an alternative to a vaccine.
Linux. I have never been able to afford Macs (they are already expensive and command hefty premiums in my country), and Linux performs way better than Windows in almost every one of my use cases.

I enjoy the customization and don't mind the occasional hiccup that needs some searching and wiki-ing to navigate. Finally, I guess I'm lucky to have used devices with very good compatibility out of the box so I've never had to fiddle too much to get things to work. I don't really have any reason or incentive to look elsewhere at the moment.
Well, my 7 years old Mercedes A 180 CDI 2012 model (Diesel engine) averages 53 mpg (4.4 l/100Km) still today (see my old comment with all the details for the these numbers at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14552816). The manufacturer-supplied official numbers are even better (3.3 to 3.6 l/100Km, or about 65 to 71 mpg).

NB: the above mpg numbers are computed using US gallons (3.785 litres)
They do care if they have a comparison.

To qualify as a donation under German tax law, a donation needs to be voluntary (freiwillig) and altruistic (uneigennützig).[1] Where exactly the boundary between altruism and personal benefit lies would have to be judged by the courts in each individual case. For example, engraving the name of a donor on an altar, naming her in intercessions and inviting her to a dedication ceremony was interpreted as an "outflow of charitable funds" (Ausfluss der gemeinnützigen Mittelvergabe) and entitled to a tax deduction.[2]

Impossible and fruitless? Contact tracing has been quite effective in Taiwan unless I’ve been completely fooled by propaganda. And contact tracing apps don’t require you to accept general location tracking. They anonymously exchange temporary tokens and, when you report yourself as a positive case, the tokens you’ve used in the past two weeks get uploaded to a central authority so that anyone who has received them can see that they represent contact with an infected person.
It did seem strong, I edited it out. Generalising isn't my intention, but honestly, I don't know how to avoid it entirely without losing points worth making, and I'm not sure anybody does.

The point I was trying to make, in this case, is that in every culture you'll find some unpleasant sentiment condoned not just in the spaces you expect, but in the sort of cosy middle class spaces that are perceived (if they don't actively market themselves) as being inclusive and enlightened.
Banks have worse hours than hedge funds just due to tradition, and you have to wear proper attire to work, and the upside is not as large as in hedge funds.

Great! I am interested in trying out the language and learning more but there would be a lot less friction and mental confusion on my side if I can get started and apply tailwind classes and use something I'm familiar with.
Some US chip-enabled ATMs still insist on reading the magstripe first, and then tell you to reinsert if the card tells it that it's a chip card. If the ATM doesn't swallow your card, you can often swipe ANY chip-enabled card and then insert your preferred card when it tells you to reinsert.
One of the things you need to remember when thinking about the London Underground, is that it was a scheme that was ultimately unfinished. There were great plans between the world wars to extend it in size and functionality but ultimately these were all stopped by WW2 and an impoverished UK couldn’t afford to do them afterwards. It was planned to extend the network well into Surrey, Kent and other places.

Absolutely, but the thought that a 3,5mm jack makes everything always compatible is nonsense. Sure, it will work with most consumer products in some way, but it is not a given that it is working as intended.
I have been kind of unimpressed with vimwiki, so I used to just use my own folder structure for categories and create markdown/rst files for somewhat-formatted notes.

At the moment I'm using Zim wiki, which is a graphical program.
Asynchronous code can sometimes be difficult to write efficiently so having implicit awaits might help with avoiding accidentally made fire and forget calls. An interesting concept might be to explicitly call a function as asynchronous with a new keyword flipping the typical usage of ‘await’. I’d still advocate for the usage of ‘async’ in function signatures though as it helps when reasoning through an asynchronous code base.
Looks great! Congrats for being a YC alumni. One day myself perhaps...
The document is from 2007. It doesn’t talk about contact tracing because phones were still using rotary dials at the time. It does mention, for example, quarantines for family members and work colleagues, which is just contact tracing by another name.

Contact tracing, as currently implemented in iOS and Android, does not reveal location data to third parties. There are many widespread uses of location data that are far worse for privacy.

For contact tracing to be useful, you need to:

- believe in the germ theory of disease

- believe in the ability to trace contacts at any level than pure randomness

These requirements are so low, it makes contact tracing at least theoretically useful at a level close to a tautology.

I find your document quite interesting in that it seems to recommend a lot of measures that we are using now.

You mean title case?

It’s got nothing to do with click-bait. It’s part of English grammar.

From experience in construction (both open air and underground) the key difference is not about something being underground, but rather with something being "in use" while the building site is doing the whatever work is needed.

Particularly when it is something of public use, be it a highway or a railway, the amount of precautions, limitations and safety risks (in some cases for both the public and the workers) grows incredibly, slowing down considerably any intervention.

I somehow like this a lot. This looks kind of what Windows NT would have been if NT 4.0 never happened, or if OS/2 survived, or if MacOS or Windows went to a Unix kernel in the early 90s. It's a bit like the Nissan Figaro of desktop operating systems. That said, going back to an alternative past can be useful beyond an art project, it could evolve into helping along the vision for better lightweight desktop operating systems of the future. For example this might work very well as a remote desktop living on virtual infrastructure, or work well as the base for a remote desktop client.
A project like this cant come fast enough. Spotify desktop on Linux is a bloated mess that regularly crashes and takes down the display server with it.

We’re buying 60 per cent more clothes now than we did 15 years ago.

This is something I find baffling. I have a clothes closet and a chest of drawers. They comfortably hold more than enough for me to go a week or two without doing laundry. When I've worn too many holes in something for me to patch and use as outdoor work wear it goes in the garbage.

That people have such an addiction to buying new clothes they have to throw away or donate intact clothes is utterly perverse.
>Once you restrict what others can say there's no freedom of speech anymore.

If you go by that definition then there is no country on Earth that has freedom of speech.

And that's a good thing because that definition is completely and utterly insane; Absolute freedom of speech would be a catastrophe.

> determine whether information they come across online is trustworthy or not

Who gets to determine what is trustworthy or not? Is it a central authority, or a WoT? The former is a very dangerous tool of social control, the latter does not usually address concerns of misinformation, as the WoT forms information bubbles with their confirmation biases.

> the project will allow users to vote on content trustworthiness. The number of votes appears as an indicator that may assist others in assessing trustworthiness

How are these votes stored? Are they part of the ActivityPub protocol, or a third-party centralized layer, or some kind of blockchain/DHT? Do you get to see the votes of your contacts, or the overall votes? How do you prevent misinformation campaign to try and hijack the votes? If they are stored in a WoT/blockchain, what kind of measures can you take to protect the social graph?

I agree with the general point that diversifying our vaccine targets is important for robust immunity, but you are sort of coming close to advocating that we not use the particular somewhat limited vaccine tech we have at our disposal now.

The best strategy against escape variants available to us right now is to reduce transmission rates (especially to immunocompromised people) as much as possible with high vaccination rates.

A feature usually consists of all three HTML/CSS/JS.

Freedom of speech isn't freedom to be a bigot. You can say whatever you want, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world has to listen.
I think it's closely linked to the notions of semantics as approached in CS (ie. PLT) v.s. in linguistics where we are mostly concerned with the "micro-structures" and "meso-structures" that gave rise to qualia we humans experience (e.g. therefore languages with different structural systems such as English vs Chinese encode concepts (as well as intentions) very differently; (for an illustration, see Interality as a Key to Deciphering Guiguzi: A Challenge to Critics [1])), and not so much about how evaluation and execution came about (e.g. as studied from a compiler's persective in denotational semantics, or a more functional perspective in
operational semantics, where things like natural transformations are ubiquitous)

[1]: https://cjc-online.ca/index.php/journal/article/view/3187/32...

And so categories naturally come in as a way to bridge and compose these two worlds, and that's just the beginning. There're so much more we don't understand yet, such as what understanding really is given a certain set of contexts and constraints as well as in regards to their relaxations.

What is understanding if there are no doings? And what is doing with no understandings? How do things compose? These are great mysteries.
China may be happy to see the end of an American military presence and protectorate at its Western border but they are certainly worried about the Taliban as well.

They don't want any interference with Xinjiang and the very last thing they want is to see Afghanistan harbouring groups plotting against China because they absolutely don't want to have to intervene.

So, pragmatically, they will try to do business with the Taliban with development aid and infrastructure projects (perhaps linked with belt and road) in the hope that this will be enough of an incentive for them to stay well clear of China, but China does not 'like' the Taliban.

so they would lose a legal challenge to the product's safety....but it's safe? How does that follow?

Liability is just a cost of doing business.

You ever had D&O insurance? Right now in blockchain businesses some get quoted 10+% for coverage, i.e. 100k+ for 1 mil in coverage. Many simply forego the insurance because it's too expensive, and assume the risk.

The product in question had too little upside to offset the liability, that's all.

> It seems pretty simple to me if we're talking about compute. The MI-cards are AMD's line of compute GPUs. Buy an MI-card if you want to use ROCm with full support. That's MI25, MI50, or MI100.

For tasks which require that much GPU, I'm using cloud machines. My dev desktop would like a working GPU 24/7, but it doesn't need to be nearly that big.

If I had my druthers, I would have bought an NVidia 3050, since it has adequate compute, and will run once available <$300. Of course, anything from the NVidia consumer line is impossible to buy right now, except at scalper prices.

I just did a web search. The only card from that series I can find for sale, new, was the MI100, which runs $13k. The MI50 doesn't exist, and the MI25 can only be bought used on eBay. Corporate won't do eBay. Even the MI100 would require an exception, since it's an unauthorized vendor (Amazon doesn't have it).

Combine that with poor software support, and an unknown EOL, and it's a pretty bad deal.

> I think you're right, but the #1 use of these devices is running video games (aka: DirectX and Vulkan). Compute capabilities are quite secondary at the moment.

Companies should maximize shareholder value. Right now:

- NVidia is building an insurmountable moat. I already bought an NVidia card, and our software already has CUDA dependencies. I started with ROCm. I dropped it. I'm building developer tools, and if they pick up, they'll carry a lot of people.

- It will be years before I'm interested in trying ROCm again. I was oversold, and AMD underdelivered.

- Broad adoption is limited by lack of standards and mature software.

It's fine to day compute capabilities are secondary right now, but I think that will limit AMD in the long term. And I think lack of standards is to NVidia's advantage right now, but it will hinder long-term adoption.

If I were NVidia, I'd make:

- A reference CUDA open-source implementation which makes CUDA coda 100% compatible with Xe and Radeon

- License it under GPL with a CLA, so any Intel and AMD enhancements are open and flow back

- Have nominal optimizations in the open-source reference implementation, while keeping the high-performance proprietary optimizations NVidia proprietary (and only for NVidia GPUs)

This would encourage broad adoption of GPGPU, since any code I wrote would work on any customer machine, Intel, AMD, or NVidia. On the other hand, it would create an unlevel playing field for NVidia, since as the copyright holder, only NVidia could have proprietary optimizations. HPC would go to NVidia, as would markets like video editing or CAD.
> That only happens in 30% of cases though.

According to the CDC, its 70-80%[0].

That's definitely some IANAL advice that should be supercede by one's lawyers advice. For example, it's well known for those moving to Puerto Rico under Act 20/22 that the safest bet in case you would ever get audited is to close your USA bank accounts to cleanly sever the connection. This applies even if you get new ones from Puerto Rican branches of the same. Once you're being audited, all of these factors are plugged into the formula and this is definitely is one of the factors used in determining if you are still substantially connected to the United States.

The IRS also looks at if you have joined a church or other social organization in PR. That's a rough one for me if I get audited. While I didn't end up going to PR, I left the country two years ago and during an audit I would not fare well not being able to point to any social organizations, relationships with the opposite gender, or friendships I have overseas even though lawyers suggest setting all of these up. I'm not that social so I'm at risk and hope I don't face an audit. (Covid was a big factor in avoiding social contact too.)

Although all the about is IRS related, I think it's well established that states often work with the IRS procedures as inspiration for their own

That’s a great answer. My observation (watching from a card issuer across the pond) has been that it’s also integrated checkout/POS infrastructure at a number of large retailers - supermarkets, department stores, pharmacies as well as automated fuel dispensers and ATM†. The USA lagged for probably 15 years before there was any significant penetration of chip + PIN and contactless payments. Once the first large retailer replaced its fleet in ~2017 it’s been accelerating.

Since the USA makes up fully half of global card payments, MC and Visa were never going to ditch mag stripe until there was 80% penetration.

†Many AFDs seem to be configured to reject international cards which may explain why they’re not well represented in my sample set.
Thank you for saying this. I’m currently an engineering manager at a “fun” and “interesting” company in SV, and I absolutely hate it. It took me a while to figure out why - but in retrospect, it’s pretty obvious. Writing Jira epics and doing code reviews for someone else’s vision is, for me at least, deeply unfulfilling, no matter how ambitious that vision is.
Math Cows
I’m not a gamedev at all so I never really dug into it, but the issue I’ve always had there was how to handle input when executing multiple simulation steps within a single “execution frame”.
For web apps, you often want your content/HTML to dynamically render different elements depending on application state. Using a separate template file and having your logic plug into the template is often more complicated than just having your flow logic (if/else chains checking application state) return bits of relevant HTML/content inline.
