I don’t understand the point you’re making. You asserted that that v3 is inconsistent with the historical intent of the gnu project; I argued that it was not, based in part on my involvement going back into the 90s.

Of course you can disagree with me, but the choice various developers might make is unrelated to that. It merely shows that various people don’t agree with the goals of the FSF. Which may be interesting but has nothing to do with the licence’s fidelity to the FSF’s objectives.

I feel for you. I don't know if there is a good equivalent nowadays to the feedback you got.

When it comes to low stakes, wide range presentations, an approximation I've seen was a side "reaction" channel on Slack or Discord to share random thoughts during the presentation. It gets very memey and you need an audience that is used to random chats, but there is an actual feeling of back and forth between the presenter and the audience. You'll see emojis and reaction gifs flying around when people get engaged, questions that you can scoop along the way or keep for the Q&A section afterward, etc.
Honestly though it's all a moot point for us, since no matter how we encapsulate, all our server-server traffic (TCP, UDP, or otherwise) is over WireGuard, which is itself UDP.

Honest question: suppose Artemis was created by a small game studio.

man I gotta get the F out of here...
Ask HN: What does database (internals) development look like?
I'm considering trying to move towards working as a developer for a database product. I'd like to get some info on what the day-to-day tasks are like for a developer of something like MongoDB, FoundationDB, CockroachDB, NoSQL alternatives... any type of data store really.

Some things in particular I'm trying to figure out:
* As with all dev work, a large portion of work is bug hunting, but what kind of bugs do DBs usually have to deal with?

* Do developers spend a lot of time on optimization or is this mostly just a concern that's figured out during initial development?

* What educational prereqs are there? Do employers (strongly) prefer a Masters or even PhD?

* How is the job market for this kind of work? Obviously demand is going to be much lower that your standard webdev job, but how is the demand/supply imbalance?

* What employers hire these developers? Is it basically just FAANG and specialty companies a la Cockroach Labs?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond!
There's probably decent economic models to prevent "scalping" or at least make it way harder.

For instance, you make the property less alienable so the "seller" in a transfer is still just as legally liable if the new "owner" gets in court somehow due to the new content at the domain.

Then people wouldn't sell it, that's the point. They may transfer it in an acquisition or name change and in those cases, such legal liability is redundant. If company A buys B then company B Is company A

Another example: for abandonment it's not the first person that sees it snatching it up. Instead say, the first 60 days after lapse, interested parties register in a pool and then one is randomly selected.

There's vastly superior ways to do this then relying on naive price signals

That probably depends on targets.

The Z generation is used to explore the UI by themselves.
For example, if they saw something partially reveal on the left, they try to swipe it / click it / or press left arrow if you are using a remote control.

But previous generation isn't really used to it. My mom sometimes(actually happens a lot) have difficulties for such ui and asks me how to use it.(she don't really realize she can just go left to reveal it) The declarative design here outright didn't work as far as I see. A touring could be really helpful for such recipients.

I guess there should be a global toggle somewhere to change between `Just let me explore` and `Tell me how to use it`.
And if one day you no longer need tours on new software, you can just toggle it off yourself.

Young people (say under <20, those that actually don't use FB[1]) have no need for FB in the first place - they see their friends every day in school, in parascholar activities and social gatherings. Once you are out of school is when the model gets sticky, FB becomes the bridge between you and your social life for most people - it really is between FB (+Insta/WA), phones and e-mails, and guess which holds the most contacts for most people [speculation/projection]. Snapchat and TikTok and great competitors for their share of online time-spent, but they won't be able to replace FB's utility for keeping in touch with people you've met once they need such a SM.

> Right, that's why I said "Many Chinese".

No offense but I used to do this and I now think of it as a means of lying to myself that I have covered myself from the "edge cases" that don't support my obviously non-neutral arguments.

> And this process doesn't strike me as being super different from the way our democratically elected representatives bring up new bills.

This is the reason that I disagree with the rest of what you said.

There are no democratic elections in China, and the people who often end up making decisions for everyone else are selected and groomed to do that *according to the party's values* early on in life. What that means is that you won't be making any decisions in the first place if they feel that your values and motives do not, or have a chance that they will not, align with the part's interest.

So who gets in? It's people who are truly patriotic (and probably getting exploited for that), people with the relevant lineage, or mostly people who are just in it for career progression, power and money because the states control so much that you just simply can't advance without being part of the party.

In non-authoritarian countries you often have some means of recourse, including putting pressure on the government with media, if the government screws up. You can't even disagree with the CCP to begin with because the means of communication for most people are censored by the government. There are literally laws that the government can punish you with even if you just remotely disagree with the government.

Most people just want to live a normal life and value their assets and family above all. The country is generally growing well economically, so there are no real reasons for them to risk what they have in exchange for some intangible idealistic things that they have never experienced. This is literally the citizens self-policing themselves because control is deliberately built into every layer.

It is super different.

People literally do not dare to speak up, it's not anti-CCP people making up antagonistic stories.

> because there are in fact supporters, just like there are both supporters and detractors to controversial government decisions on this side of the pond.

I'm sure there are in fact supporters for pervasive control and surveillance in the name of protecting children and society. However, at least on "this side of the pond" we can oppose it without fearing any repercussions from the government. I can trash the policy all I like on any social media platform I want, I can write opinion pieces and submit to newspapers, I can organize groups to oppose the policy — all without fearing repercussions from the government. Can you do any of that under the CCP?

Get a piece of paper, divide it into acceptable and unacceptable, write down the things that fall into each category that align with your core values, then come back to read your arguments.

If you don't think there are any contradictions, great. If there are, perhaps there is nothing wrong with "the general tone" that you find problems with.

> The fix is to properly document your code.

I disagree that is the fix. I've seen horrible code that has extremely extensive documentation, and nice code with minimal documentation. I know which I would rather work with.

Documentation has its place, particularly for high level concepts and shared data and interfaces, and tricky, exceptional, or surprising things in the code itself. But it's a poor crutch for bad design or code.

Does anyone know, with the scope of fires over the last couple years, is California on track to naturally normalize by burning through the most vulnerable forests or is this still not on that scale?
I dunno, I’ve conducted about 100 dev interviews over the years. Have tried various combinations of whiteboarding, architecture/design questions, take home problems, talking about past projects/experience, and sitting down together with the interviewee and pair coding on bugs or small features. I don’t know that any approach was clearly more effective than another, and for all of them I think the ability of myself and other interviewers to predict performance at the company was decent, but far from excellent. The clearest signal is probably a super enthusiastic referral (from a highly trustworthy source), but it’s rare to be able to get that.

It’s just really tough to figure out in 2-3 hours how someone is going to perform in a given role over the next few years. Interviewing is an inexact art, not an exact science, and it’s very much my experience that companies compensate for this by favouring false negatives (not hiring possibly strong candidates) over false positives (hiring weak candidates).
There's an implicit trust assumption in the upstream data sources provided to such that goes unmentioned…

With regards to 1, I wonder: why would calculating the Hamming distance be slow? In python you can easily do it like this:

hamming_dist = bin(a^b).count("1")

It relies on a string operations, but takes ~1 microsecond on an old i5 7200u to compare 32bit numbers. In python 3.10 we'll get int.bit_count() to get the same result without having to do these kind of things (and a ~6x speedup on the operation, but I suspect the XOR and integer handling of python might already be a large part of the running time for this calculation).

If you need to go faster, you can basically pull hamming distance with just two assembly instructions: XOR and POPCNT. I haven't gone so low level for a long time, but you should be able to get into the nanosecond speed range using those.
One way to do this is to raise prices for everybody.

> My dad asks me why I waste so much time in useless hobbies when I could be investing that time working towards next promotion and pay raise

There’s something to be said about a narrow focus on “tangible” benefits. Life is meant to be… lived. Such a comment can be made by someone who lives on the assumption that they have figured out all there is to be figured out in life - so much so that they are qualified to call anything that doesn’t yield an immediately tangible benefit as a “waste”.

My hobbies play a strange role in my day job - one that would never have made sense in hindsight. They keep me content too, of course. But they also help me understand the subject matter in strange new ways (through the lens of the hobby).

> But 10 years out it's not entirely implausible that if Rust had stuck with fibers that it may have driven the required OS improvements ...

Rust would've been a language nobody had heard of. It wouldn't have driven anyone to do anything because it wouldn't have had widespread adoption in the first place. As-is I'm using it in embedded programming and loving it. I certainly would never have picked Go for that.

I think you're not really understanding Rust's approach here. Green threads would be much too heavyweight to build into the language itself, and would mostly preclude it from being seriously used in interesting domains like embedded programming.

Just to add another layer to this, the somewhat cynical take is that - at least in the US - the system is actually a republican democracy, meaning that even people over 18 don't typically have a direct voice in the matter. At best people can do things like write to their representative or organize protests, but most people don't bother, and even if they did, representatives may not listen (either because your elected representative belongs to the opposite party as yours, or because they are detached from reality or they don't consider your concern a priority or they are being swayed by lobbyists etc)

It's mentioned in the "Overloading existing stdlib functions" section.

>One issue to be aware of is that unlike Swift we cannot immediately fail if a synchronous overload is selected in an async function. Rust's async models allows for delayed `.await`ing, which means we cannot error at the call-site. Instead we'll likely need to hook into the machinery that enables `#[must_use]`; allowing us to validate whether the returned future is actually awaited — and warn if it's not. Even though this is slightly different from Swift appears to do things, it should not present an insurmountable hurdle.

It's a bit confusing that it mentions selecting "a synchronous overload" but then goes on to talk about it returning a future. I assume it means selecting "(what looks like) a synchronous overload".
I can't think of any Western country in which software is not copyrightable as-is. There are some where software is not patentable, but that is a very different thing that is not relevant to this story.
Not much to burn now on the fed forest lands....
Winds can carry burning debris hundreds of feet through the air, so it'd need to be more like a village in the middle of a lake. Though it wouldn't have to be a lake, just a barren field that has no (or limited) combustables. But would still need to be quite large for protection, and buildings would still need to be fire resistant to protect against burning embers.
