Elm did it. :)

Elm isn't as big as Rust or other languages, but it's definitely production-grade (in that loads of companies are using it in production), and the only capital that's been put into it is approximately one full-time software engineer being paid to work on it for 5ish years.
This is some pure evil right here.
I am honestly a bit shocked how many folks are aware of China's digital currency push and nationalizing big fintech, and still don't see this is the endgame. Monetary policy and control of economies are power, why would you cede that control to civilians?

>Self-reported survey data is notoriously bad

This is my least favorite type of data to work with. It can be incorrect either deliberately or through poor survey design. When I have to work with surveys I insist that they tell me what they want to know, and I design it. Sometimes people come to me when they already have survey results, and sometimes I have to tell them there's nothing reliable that I can do with to. When I'm involved from the beginning, I have final veto. Even then I don't like it. Even a well designed survey with proper phrasing, unbiased likert scales, etc can have issues. Many things don't collapse nicely to a one-dimensional scale. Then there is the selection bias inherent when by definition you only receive responses from people willing to fill out the survey. There are ways to deal with that, but they're far from perfect.

Yes, it is. Austin is responsible for a disproportionate amount of the state's economy, and certainly well over-represented in areas like tech and VC funding [1]. I'd argue that for tech-specific entrepreneurship Austin is basically right after Bay Area and Seattle (Boston and NY are also obviously up there but a lot of their funding/new company formation is around the huge builtin base in those cities in finance and biotech).

Italian roads are mostly either tiny city streets or safe motorways. Deaths in vehicles I imagine are often on the intermediate roads where speed is high enough to kill but it’s not a motorway with on ramps and separators.

For example, it’s hard to find a large multi-lane 4-way intersection in Italy where both roads are over 70km/h (45mph) , meaning there is a risk of a T collision if a driver goes through the red light.

In the US this kind of intersection is pretty common, which surprises me when I drive there.

The conversion of intersections to safer roundabouts also seems to be stuck at a low % in the US compared to Europe, Italy included.
This is the count of people who have already been naturalized. There were 16000 applications and 12000 of those gained the French citizenship.
I think a lot of the confusion is due to a lack of clear evaluation model for runtime vs compile time code. Racket actually has a clear model for which code is available at compile vs runtime using phases. While what can be done at compile time is really broad, the message passing between phases is only done through code generation (macros). There are no surprises about what happens at compile time vs runtime. Limiting compile time code to macros enables really powerful tooling for debugging macros since you can step through how each macro gets expanded (with it being common to return more macros through the macro code itself).
Maybe it is not as low as it appears. Since most of the privacy settings are the default, installs and usage isn't counted?
Which, do you know how much way more advanced science go on inside of those chips in order to create them? The issues you mention are a logistical nightmare, and due to the costs involved it currently isn't lucrative to reclaim them from built devices. Let's say that someone was willing to pay $1,000 for one entirely boring, through-hole 74-series logic chip. Would that change the calculus on it being "too hard" to put them back in the supply chain? Junk VCRs in the garage would suddenly be potentially worth a several thousand dollars each! At a thousand dollars per chip, it would be worth my time,
personally, to do the testing and clean up, and for someone at the other end to verify I've actually done that, and that the chips are functional.

That astronomical price is obvious fantasy, but it's not too difficult as a task, it's that capitalism can't and won't care about the environment until after it's too late (which, it might already be).

I look for two things when I'm interviewing someone for a developer position. One, can they think logically enough to write a couple simple example problems in code (fizzbuzz level stuff). And two, do they clam up or try to bullshit me when they don't know the answer to a question, or do they just admit they don't know it. For me, just being able to comfortably say you don't know how to answer my question means you are humble enough to work on my team.
I tend to think Advance Wars was remarkably well balanced. It was designed to be a single player game so some strategies like rocket troops wasn't too bad. They were very slow however, which made them a really inefficient way to win.
As far as I understand it, I think the desire here is for diversity in backers; Steve (and Mozilla) wasn't comfortable with Mozilla being the strongest influence, and he just wants to make it clear he disagrees with Amazon replacing Mozilla in that respect. It sounds like he is totally appreciative of the support Rust's ecosystem has received already and will continue to receive.
I think GP has a good point, I took a slightly america-centric POV on the issue; topic is specifically about Dutch legal system. Nonetheless the end bit about 'strategies' is likely to be applicable across jurisdictions.

I actually don't think it is that rare. Especially for smaller companies. I don't want 100% of the market. I want 10%, but I want the best 20% that can easily afford my product and doesn't complain, cancel, chargeback, or need unnecessary handholding to use my software. Beyond that it's mostly diminishing returns.

Of course, I actually have a product that people want to pay for, I'm not giving it away for free and selling ads to fund it. If I was, I might be more interested in 80% of the market and still try to discourage that worst 20% from using it.

OP here.
Generally when you learn recursion you also learn about higher order functions. Most of the use cases of loops get replaced with map/filter/fold. What’s left are typically those “unintuitive” problems that need recursion, such as when you’re dealing with trees.

I've read on here about people running such hardware in DOSbox but it's not a problem I've needed to solve personally. However since DOSbox is an emulator (as opposed to FreeDOS which is a "just" an OS), I wouldn't be surprised if DOSbox handled those situations fine.
Most would agree that at least the richest in the US have better care than the lower percentile ms of Europeans. The outcomes according to the article suggests that even the richest don’t reach European longevity.

There could be multiple factors overlapping here though I suspect. For all but the richest, public healthcare helps, but for the richest the obesity gap closes any benefit in healthcare (diminishing returns in better care easily overshadowed by even slightly worse lifestyles).

On a similar note, I quit watching the news and reading the newspaper. It doesn't make me happy. It really doesn't make me "informed", it only makes me capable of parroting some soundbites my favorite pundit said. Lastly the news is terribly politicised nowadays and tends to focus only on the bad.

Plenty of research proving the link between anxiety/depression and news consumption. What is there to gain by watching the news anyways...

If I want to find out more about something, i'd rather listen to a long form podcast by a professor, than read something a journalist copypasted. Or maybe read an article here and find comments by so many people from so many different viewpoints and cultural backgrounds.
Yes, my edit was more meant to illustrate how 6 data points can yield a significant result. Paired t-test is all about the differences. So if all test subjects shift up by 0.01 (no variance in the differences) then the statistic will actually be infinite (i.e. very large) and so p is theoretically 0 (very small). I also agree that the paired testing needs more convincing from the researchers.

My family is doing this as we have 4th grader twins and a 6th grader that are not eligible for the vaccine yet. Homeschooling is a huge amount of work for the parents. As soon as we can vaccinate the kids they are going back to regular school. While I'm pretty sure the kids are learning more than they did last year, and maybe even more than they would have learned in regular school it's so much less efficient that it just doesn't feel worth it.

But the alternative is the kids get COVID. It's not a question of if but when. The schools here are just not taking it seriously enough, and frankly they probably couldn't given the number of kids in the building. Sure they'll probably be OK when they get it, most kids are, but it seems completely reckless to just send them with the hope that they won't get a bad case. We are hoping to send the 6th grader back for the second half of the semester, he'll be getting the vaccine right after his birthday this month so we have a waiting period, a second shot, and another waiting period before he goes back.
Are reproducible builds the solution? Seems like the fdroid folks would still have to build ("reproduce") the apk to verify that it matches the one provided by the developer. Then they'd sign it and distribute the double-signed apk.

I was under the impression that reproducible builds guard against the "fdroid build servers got compromised" attack vector, (or "developer got compromised", as compared to dev-signed releases) and nothing else.

Show HN: Tingy – search videos with natural language queries
First off, I want to make the disclaimer that this project is very much an MVP and the landing page/front end is quite ugly.

I'm sharing tingy - this is a service that allows you to upload a video and query it using a text description. For each upload, you can make two queries and they can be any text that you wish (in English).

Here's an example: You have 4 hours worth of security footage. During those 4 hours you know that someone stole a bike. You could query the video for "person riding bike".

I'm looking for some test users - please reach out here if you would like to trial tingy. I would be happy to set you up with a free account.
Great to see things are coming along!
> my very clichéd understanding is that the only parents that want to home school their children are those with extreme religious or political opinions they want to foist upon them.

In my anecdotal experience it is actually the opposite. Parents are concerned about political activist teachers forcing their beliefs onto children.

Recent examples are teachers in the US who have been captured on video in the classroom bullying children or telling them that any parents who disagree with the teacher’s beliefs are “stupid”, “anti-science”, etc.

Again, in my own experience there is some truth to this and some percentage of teachers purposely bring their politics (left or right) into the classroom with the intent to indoctrinate.

Interestingly, this behavior is completely out in the open in US higher education classrooms. Many teachers proudly and aggressively mix their personal political beliefs into their instruction. I suppose we just accept this as the students are technically no longer “children”?
I think the biggest takeaway from this ruling is being overlooked, read page 159

Apparently the Sherman Antitrust Act only applies to a service if it strictly cannot be replicated otherwise.

In other words, since iOS allows the installation of and does not control the distribution of "web apps", it therefore has the right to control the distribution of "native apps"

It doesn't matter that web apps don't have access to most of the iPhone's API, it doesn't matter that they can't send notifications or run in the background, it doesn't matter that they can't run fullscreen or in 64bit, what matters is that they get an icon on the homescreen, they thereby fit the definition of an "app" so technically Apple does not entirely control app distribution on iOS
The big reason for homeschooling is that you can push your own politics or religion on school more. Not everyone does it for that reason, but there are quite a few radicals in the movement who do exactly that.

Notably Christian radicals.

It is a huge win for Apple. They lost nothing and regardless if companies use IAP or not, Apple is still legally entitled to take the commission from the developers.

> Devs could, for example, charge a higher price if you buy it via the AppStore and a lower price if you complete the purchase on their website. It potentially removes a significant portion of Apple's cut for IAP.

Again, even if they charge a higher price on the IAP and lower on the website, Apple is still entitled to charge the commission regardless if they use IAP or not. The judgement clearly states that 'Under all models, Apple would be entitled to a commission or licensing fee, even if IAP was optional' [0] (p68)

On Epic's side they lost the antitrust argument which was the whole point of filing this lawsuit. Apple already made the changes to mentioning links for paying outside of the App Store before this ruling was made.

Nothing has changed on the commission side for Apple and Epic still cannot allow their own billing system in Fortnite, thus they are still banned on the App Store even after admitting being in breach of the App Store rules and must pay for those damages. Meaningless or not.

So actually, Apple still wins and it is a huge win.

Instead of going through all of what you just did here, why didn't you just directly state what the problem was, when someone asked?

That would be way easier. Instead of writing a paragraph, I don't know, attacking someone for not reading past threads or comments, you could just give a single sentence, that describes the issue.

That would be way faster, and then everyone is happy.

For a working professional, the amount of knowledge one needs to learn/retain for day-to-day work activities trumps 10x what 10-15 year old kids learn in school. So it's not too hard to go over basic chemistry/physics/biology textbook and explain it to your kids. In addition, if you have smart & interested kids, I think you could save your kids 4-6 hours of learning time every day, while only investing a minimal amount of time yourself (2-3 hours).
IANAL, but my understanding is: Double-billing hours is probably illegal, but many remote programmers likely have two "full time", salaried, jobs with no stipulation about "you must work X hours"... at the very least a legal grey area, and if you breach some contract clause, you are most likely in breach of contract, which is a civil suit, and most likely you'll just be dismissed, no severance will be offered, and they might try to take away any unexercised options grants.
