I have been in plenty of hills since I wrote those first BASIC lines on a Timex 2068.

Just like consumers don't care if their favourite music application is written in Electron, as long it plays their favourite album on their newly acquired speakers, they also don't care what type system was used to deliver such experience.

With Go finally getting generics, it will be pretty alright, 99% of distributed computing applications need not care about zero GC code, only proper use of value types.

I've tried to use "orthogonal" in a vernacular context a few times, on each occasion causing wrinkled brows. It's not tech jargon, it's a perfectly good word. OK, maybe it's really maths jargon?
Honestly, this is the only proof I'm willing to accept for the survival of any low-revenue service that Google provides! But still, google code didn't live.

Signed updates (which they already have) that are not designed to spy on their customers and bog-standard E2E would achieve that.

But then they couldn't even scan the stuff on icloud.
Rdio's app was stunning compared to Spotify imo.
The benefits that many people enjoy in California are not provided by the government, eg climate and nature.
> The flu will bind you to your bed for at least a week and you will need 3-6 weeks to recover.

It can, but this isn't a given. Tens of millions of people get influenza yearly in the USA, and there's a wide range of estimates of asymptomatic cases, with 50% being a reasonable baseline to work from.

See, e.g. Seasonal Incidence of Symptomatic Influenza in the United States: https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/66/10/1511/4682599

> Estimates of the percentage of influenza infections that are asymptomatic include a common approximation of 50% [33], 33% in 1 review [34] and 4%–28%, 0–100%, and 65%–85% in another review [35]. Both asymptomatic and symptomatic infections are captured in serological studies. The commonly cited “5%–20%” figure came from a serological study [5], and so represents both symptomatic and asymptomatic disease among a mix of vaccinated and unvaccinated persons. If 50% of influenza were symptomatic, this would correspond to “2.5%–10%” with symptomatic disease, which is very similar to the range that we report.
> People do tend to conflate all sorts of "coughs" together as the "flu", including many illnesses that are a lot more mild than the flu.

People do, but if you look at CDC estimates, tens of millions of people get influenza in any given year, so it's fairly like that any given adult individual has contracted influenza multiple times in their life.

Blue Origin has become a pathetic attempt at being a pseudo-tradinational aerospace company “funded” by the government. Jeffs become an obnoxious capital hoarder who doesn’t want to put his money where is mouth is to get the job done. He’s touted around like some sort of management genius but by most relative measures Blue Origin is, in its current state, a failure.

I mean, Gödel told us that we can't have a system that proves its own consistency while being consistent, so we shouldn't expect to get closer than "we have proofs in other systems and also the axioms seem so dang simple and obvious and also people have been banging on them and haven't found any inconsistencies..."

But moreover, if Gödel's proof had gone the other way I'm not sure the situation is all that much changed. If I hold in my hand a proof of the consistency of a system of axioms within that system of axioms then... either the system is consistent or, by being inconsistent, could prove anything including its own consistency.
Spotify should pay this guy to make their official native client or at least license the software from him.
It was on mainstream news here in Australia.
Personally, services that ask for your bank account credentials are a “no go” for me. The passwords themselves are likely stored securely, but the fact they are stored at all is concerning.

All it takes is a bad actor within the company to re-write the screen scraping to then impersonate the users and have them wire out money to a foreign bank account. Some anti-fraud systems might catch this activity but for people that use the wire system on a frequent basis it might go unnoticed.

Or they may screen scrape the information and sell it on the black market. Wouldn’t be too hard to target a specific group (elderly, retired) since you already have their bank credentials which subsequently has reliable/verified demographic information and account balances.

That is a misconception, RAII like code can be achieved in two ways:

- defer (possibly add a go vet check for when missing it)

- when Go 1.18 brings generics, the withFunc pattern from FP where lambdas get given a resource released on function exist, thus having regions/arena like resource management

But California doesn’t have a tax treaty with other jurisdictions and doesn’t recognize the foreign earned income exclusion (first 100k is tax free federally). This means that even if you don’t owe anything federally (as you earned less than 100k and/or worked in a country with a tax treaty and can offset all your federal tax liabilities) you will still owe the state of California money.
I agree.

> There's no circumstance where it is considered acceptable to hit a pedestrian, no matter how difficult the predestrian is being…

Obviously drivers are not permitted to simply run into pedestrians either deliberately or negligently no matter how obnoxious their behavior might be, though it is understood that pedestrians are perfectly capable of unilaterally creating situations where a collision cannot reasonably be avoided. However, that does not mean pedestrians cannot also be at fault for intentionally obstructing traffic. Pedestrians have priority due to their fragility, and with that comes a responsibility not to abuse said priority to the detriment of other users of the roads.
Yeah, I hear ya. But maybe having made a decision and some concrete plans will make you feel a bit better?

Also, maybe doing more things outside of work will help? Try to talk with family more often or spend more time on hobbies you enjoy?

The key is not to let the job define your life. When all is said and done, work is only one (small) part of your life. Give yourself something to look forward to at the end of the day.

Whatever you do, I hope it brings you joy :-D
Good Luck!
Those are marked on that page as "Aboriginal subsistence catches":

"In some parts of the world, whale products play an important role in the nutritional and cultural life of native peoples. Four IWC member countries conduct aboriginal subistence hunts today: Denmark (Greenland), Russia (Chukotka), St Vincent and the Grenadines (Bequia) and the United States (Alaska and also potentially a resumption of hunts previously undertaken by the Makah Tribe of Washington State)."

Looks like they manage allocations based on whale populations. The gray whale's conservation status is marked as "Least Concern".

The article submitted to HN notes that grey whales are fairly numerous, and I'd say these recent incidents are a canary-in-coal-mine scenario.
From my understanding, this is total message size, but packet. If a receiver has two incoming messages, a batch upload and a query for a list, the batch upload may have 10MiB to transmit while the other message may only have 1KiB. This, to improve latency, the smaller message should be prioritized.

I think this is a really good example to point to in discussions of ‘cargo-cult’-ing. GP is merely reciting the standard ‘best’ practice for development in C, and on a more complex project or in another use case, they may be correct to do so. However, as you pointed out, in this case the globals are true single instance ‘objects’ and the use is semantically sensible and justified. It dovetails nicely with some of the DoD vs ECS discussion from the front page earlier today. Do what makes the most sense for your use case for reasons that apply to your project, everything else is abstraction.

He's right about the excitement. I've been on the internet since 1991. It does feel like the early 90's, 20's, etc... love or hate crypto, good or bad, things are certainly exciting.
In my country the two best economics are offered by a leftwing/socialist and a rightwing/free-market university, respectively.

What always astounded me was that even though the faculties are nuanced and respect both sides, the students are just blindly leftist or rightist when they graduate. For instance, teachers at the pro-markets university know that markets have failures so blindly free markets is usually not the answer. But students? Hell no.

So universities are indeed effective at imparting not just tools and teaching people how to learn, but at brainwashing maybe 90% of the students into following the beliefs they teach them. How do you break that? No clue. But I see the same thing with people consuming media, etc. so I guess it's just a human trait.
My understanding is that this is only if you intend to move back to the state of California. I don’t know how you go about proving that that isn’t the case if they ask though.
What was the feedback/further reading that made you decide not to use it?
Lack of generics kept most of us away.

I don't think this is quite true. I started reading shortly after my third birthday, and I don't think I just missed the cutoff for "legend".

Ask HN: How to build a good looking SaaS landing page?
I have a SaaS webpage that has poor aesthetics and want to change it asap. I know basic CSS and html and have experience using frameworks like uikit. But at the end of the day I'm an engineer with a sense of aesthetic appreciation but not aesthetic creation.

To use the most recent example I've come across, how do I go about building something like the linktree.com landing page?

I'm eager to learn whatever is necessary to design a beautiful webpage.

Coincidentally, I was just reading something related to this debacle here - https://workplace.stackexchange.com/a/177611 - too. And I do wonder how Nokia's future would have been different if they had fully focused on Meego / Sailfish OS instead of adopting Windows Mobile Platform. (Sailfish OS was developed by ex-Nokia developers).
I don't know if it is rare thing, but I also have loved making scripts and automated bits during software dev; and making jigs in woodwork took 50% of my time because that was such fun.

Also, thanks for this comment - it sums up the fun of jig making and also gave me a light bulb moment in games. The fun doesn't have to be killing the orc, it can be organising your weapons and potions ready to kill the orc.
I've done a couple of projects for clients with google maps - what's the advantages/disadvantages of using this?
The outrage around these supposedly egregious performance issues is more understandable when you consider that developers who spend a lot of time tuning performance in their work would naturally develop a 'selective attention bias,' magnifying the significance of what to others are negligible if not imperceptible differences.

Imagine the frustration of someone who, for example, did work on sound insulation for cooling systems: they sit out on a patio for dinner with friends and the sound of an inexpertly designed air conditioner appears to them as intolerably intrusive; meanwhile, no one else at the meal notices until it's pointed out.
What JFK (and others) did is why Congress passed an anti-nepotism law ( 5 U.S.C. § 3110) in 1967.
The proper order to pull out is to:

1. Remove the diplomats, embassy staff, translators and other Afghani helpers who were promised safety in return of helping the Americans first.

2. Remove the military equipment - guns, drones, choppers, humvees etc second so that it doesn't fall in the Taliban's hands. At least destroy these equipment if it can't be logistically brought back. Destroy the bases so Taliban can't use them.

3. Lastly pull out the droops as all the important soft targets have already been taken out.

These 3 should have been done in winter before May (original deal was for May) because the Taliban has problems in the winter weather.

Instead of this order, they did the exact opposite. US sat on its ass, didn't remove the soft targets or even take care of those who helped the US. US just pulled out the troops and we ended up with videos of Afghanis running and falling off of aeroplanes and Taliban getting hold of humvees and choppers. And now to take out the soft targets, they have sent 9000 troops back in along with the UK. The Afghanis who had helped Americans for 2 decades got abandoned. And since summer time is when Taliban is at its easiest to move around, the airports have also been taken over.

We are not talking about the likely outcome or whether US should have stayed longer. Obviously this was the likely outcome and leaving was the right move. But the way they left is a complete disaster.

The proper order to pull out is to:

I think part of it might be nostalgia as well. If they kill google groups then they are killing yet another part of the old internet they sought to embrace and improve upon but the bean counters have mostly taken over and only a few holdouts in upper management keep this sort of stuff alive.

There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. - smedley butler

War is just a racket... I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. - smedley butler

Major General Smedley Darlington Butler (July 30, 1881 – June 21, 1940), nicknamed "Old Gimlet Eye",[1] was a senior United States Marine Corps officer who fought in both the Mexican Revolution and World War I. During his 34-year career as a Marine, he participated in military actions in the Philippines, China, and Central America; the Caribbean during the Banana Wars; and France in World War I. Butler was, at the time of his death, the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. By the end of his career, Butler had received 16 medals, five for heroism. He is one of 19 men to receive the Medal of Honor twice, one of three to be awarded both the Marine Corps Brevet Medal (along with Wendell Neville and David Porter) and the Medal of Honor, and the only Marine to be awarded the Brevet Medal and two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions.

In 1933, he became involved in a controversy known as the Business Plot, when he told a congressional committee that a group of wealthy industrialists were planning a military coup to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt, with Butler selected to lead a march of veterans to become dictator, similar to fascist regimes at that time. The individuals involved all denied the existence of a plot, and the media ridiculed the allegations, but a final report by a special House of Representatives Committee confirmed some of Butler's testimony.

Butler later became an outspoken critic of American wars and their consequences. In 1935, Butler wrote a book titled War Is a Racket, where he describes and criticizes the workings of the United States in its foreign actions and wars, such as those in which he had been involved, including the American corporations and other imperialist motivations behind them.

I would highly recommend the audiobook of his book from 1920s:

I moved from California overseas.

I haven’t gotten rid of my state id as I would like an American one to use when I’m in the US.

I haven’t switched my voter registration (other than to say I’m overseas) as I have the legal right to vote at my last US address.

I haven’t switched my official address registration (not sure what that is, presume you mean via usps) as it is a pain internationally and someone living at my old address can still send me any mail (lots of services won’t even take a non-us address).

I don’t spend much time in California (less than a month so far in 2021) but I still have some income there.

I don’t think my situation is unique, I just worry that one day the franchise tax board will attempt to collect taxes which they don’t deserve (I live in a country with a higher tax rate than California, I don’t think I’m trying to avoid any taxes).
I believe yearly booster shots was on the conspiracy theory bingo card.

If immunity is waning after ~1 year, will people who supported passports continue to support them when told they need to be triple vaccinated?

Probably not, and any credibility health authorities had left with the vaccinated population will be gone.
It's worth noting that at least in recent versions, the in game formulas have been getting simplified. For instance armor used to give you both AC and GDR (guaranteed damage resistance), whereas now GDR is a direct function of AC regardless of its source. Similarly DEX now more directly influences Evasion, whereas before it was artificially capped to give very diminishing returns past ~25 DEX, and now allows you to get very high Evasion.
So the highlight of this article is speculating whether Google actively removed an unpopular technology from their service or that the technology was so unpopular that it broke without Google noticing.
