1. Most people don’t even understand how a gun mechanically functions. It lives in the realm of magic for most people, despite being mechanically very simple. This base ignorance of the function of a firearm is one of the biggest reasons why firearm-related accidents happen. You might not want a gun, and fine—that’s your stance—but you should know how it works and how to use it.

2. We don’t nuke each other all the time either. But “God made man and Colt made ‘em equal”—the gun is an equalizer.

I think people in America think we’re some united hegemony, believing all the same thing. No. We don’t. We all have different views and are pursuing happiness differently. Sometimes this pursuit leads to injury of someone else’s pursuit of happiness. Guns, along with education, give people the means of preventing and give meaningful deterrence to those who would disrupt their rightful pursuit of happiness.

Also, guns in the US are used nearly a million times a year to prevent violence (CDC, https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/firearms/fastfact.htm...)

Finally, regarding unintentional killings: that’s why I said education on guns in necessary. Regarding unlawfulness: you must have your head in the sand to think a criminal isn’t already committed to breaking the law.

Guns for everyone.
Given that the smart way is to not ask for phone numbers in the first place, I wouldn't assume anything.
Isn't this a bit like the ecom thing?

Like - I want to buy a "Philips Electric Toothbrush". I could go and buy it on their own site. But I'll probably (sorry) go straight to Amazon.

Searching and checking out on Amazon is just so much mentally more efficient than navigating and buying from a site I'm not used to.

I agree bands should definitely upload their own lyrics, but comparatively, if I'm listening to a record and I want to know song lyrics or (sometimes) check what they're singing about - I'll just go straight to Genius because I know how it's likely to be there and it's easy to use (especially compared to lots of other lyrics sites). Band websites are not what they were in the 90s - if they have them at all.
This is very cool. The splitting of logic between startup/warmup and execution is crucial here, to be able to get all that type inference and those speculative optimisations without hitting the limits of static analysis of the JS code. I wonder if the speculative optimisations could be further strengthened by taking advantage of e.g. Typescript type annotations.
Is he really though? His non-spec-house videos talk about allowable tolerances and he free hands beveled cuts on a Skilsaw. Granted, those free hand cuts look better than my 90deg ones done with a saw guide but still, would a "perfectionist" do that? I'm specifically thinking of that weird looking shed video.

I think he only really goes over the top with concrete.
I love Mullvad, I've been a happy user of theirs for many years!
> I searched "plumber Austin TX" in Google and got a map and list of company websites near me.

I think you could have done this historically in a Yellow Pages phone book. My OP used "boring". A list of plumbers is boring, been done on dead wood. I'm not saying boring != !useful.

> There are a lot of "top x y in z" list sites

This is an understatement. I actually want to know the top x in y, to do that I need "rational discourse". Rational discourse is recognizable as well written, insightful, humble, reflective, self-countering, anecdotal etc. By "search is terrible" I mean with respect to finding this.

> OP's project isn't optimized for relevance, it's optimized for nostalgia

Nostalgia is highly relevant if it's on topic, but agreeing with you as to what this engine is about.
They don't show up much elsewhere even in research-level mathematics. Unless you're doing something related to algebraic geometry or algebraic topology, there's a 95% chance they're a waste of time. The stuff in the linked article is relevant mainly to homotopy theorists.

The importance of category theory in mathematics seems wildly overestimated by HN, judging by the number of stories about it.
Yeah I wonder whether they'd go SSPL if AWS started offering hosted Discourse.
The problem with ascribing China's success to being a market economy is India.

India shared similar population size, geography and wealth to China initially.

India had something closer to a market economy that was less interventionist/communist and for far longer and yet it has grown at a far slower pace.

Austrian predictions from the 90s presumed that China keeping tight control of the economy/currency/inward flows of investment and high level of state ownership was shooting itself in the foot.
Yeah right. DDR3 memory is more expensive than DDR4, even used one, and runs at half the frequency. A six year old mobo doesn't support thunderbolt or usb 3.1 connectors. An i7-4790 runs hotter and doesn't support more than 32GB while a 10th gen i3 goes up to 128GB.
The only way is the way that I've been forced to work, my entire life.

I'm a high school dropout with a GED, and some rather spotty tech training.

That means that I have had to fight, claw, and prove myself at every single step. No easy slopes for me. Double-black-diamond, the whole way. Very darwinian. Exhausting.

Fortunately, I don't have to prove myself to anyone, anymore. I am working with a bunch of folks that have known me for years, and are quite aware that I'm "for real." I don't make a dime, and don't really care. I enjoy the work.

Kind of a relief, really.
Genius's lack of execution is precisely the embodiment of the SV trope of bro culture:

Depends on where you live in the US; I don't think this is true for most of the country, but that's not clear to most people because the MSM is very anti-gun and very rarely reports on self-defense cases unless they're twisted into claimed crimes. Since there are millions of these every year, that statistic first gleaned from data collected by an anti-gun group....

Agree with all.

Yes and:

I'm mostly against voice tech. Just feels weird. Still frustrating to use, after 30+ years.

My skepticism that voice would ever become a normal thing was mooted by observing my son play a Living Books CD-ROM adaptation of a Mercer Meyer's Little Critter book. https://archive.org/details/littlecrittergames

Critter asked a question. My son answered. Then nothing happened. My son was hurt, disappointed, confused. No different than if a human child ignored him.

My totally obvious prediction:

Voice UI will become normal for the generation that grows up with a Critter that understands verbal responses.

And to your point, those Alexa style agents will remain their life long companions (pacifiers) into old age. Just like my 84 yo mom's relationship with the TV.

Hmm, if someone says “I already know that” that’s cool, I can just ask them “How do you do it then?” and if the next sentence is anywhere close to “something something modulo” we can skip the coding part.

Not if you regularly get one from your doc when you had another laceration. Although I am not sure if they still do that when they are unsure about your vaccination status. It is recommended to get a booster every 10 years.

Bacteria can be everywhere in the earth and if you do garden work I would heavily recommend that. A tiny cut you don't even notice is enough. I know someone who survived Tetanus. Barely and with lasting problems.

No, this is not an endorsement to get a booster shot for Covid and it isn't comparable.
I agree with the sentmient of doxxing neo-nazis, but leaking the data of millions of innocents who just use Epik as their regular DNS provider seems unnecessary
The previous messages don't list recipients. Someone likely emailed SJ at both his personal and professional email at the same time and it just remained due to reply-all.

Rich and powerful people deliberately separate personal and work emails (e.g. Hillary Clinton). It helps create privacy, control, and legal protection.

Even for Google logins, would you consider using a token-based authentication system (like Spotify, Postman, etc. do)... i.e., your default browser opens, Google logs you in there (or you already are), and that sends a backend auth token to your service to connect your Google and Replay accounts.

I would like to try your product, but am wary of typing in my Google credentials into an unknown, black-box browser. It's too easy to MITM, especially if someone redistributes a copy with a keylogger shimmed in.

The token-based auth means you can still log in with Google but never have to share your Google password with the proprietary Replay browser. Probably many of the multi-login vendors support something similar already if you don't want to deal with it yourself.
Eh.

ASM is a good start for people who already know how to program. Manually implementing a linked list by syscalling mmap is something everyone should do. OTOH the main stumbling block for students who can't already code is "thinking algorithmically" i.e. breaking down the steps you need to perform in a precise way. At that level, ASM is just getting in the way.

I'm partial to Scheme because that's what my intro course used and I loved it, but I can see an argument for both another high level language, C, or ASM.

Java is just a terrible idea FFS. At an introductory level you won't even understand what kinds of problems Java is supposed to solve: are they teaching what's a virtual method too? I assume it's a misguided attempt at teaching something "relevant for the job market".

The biggest tragedy that humanity faces today is that we still think that we are living in small communities of 500-1000 individuals.

So every move has to be planned to perfection as if we were still living in such small communities and public failure or embarassment is a social death sentence.

In reality there are 8 billion of us! 8.000.000.000, the formula to succeed in this environment is to be very conservative with one finances (you need those money to eat and live after all) but very aggressive socially.

If you are not getting laughed at publicly or getting drinks spilled in your face on a regular basis, you are really not putting in the work necessary to be socially successful.

People on here think they can buy social success with money, in reality that gives the same feeling of paying a hooker.

There is no substitute for hard work, the price to pay to acquire meaningful interpersonal relationships is being laughed at and rejected in a brutal manner.

Not another Russian anti-vax propaganda article!
According to the article, yes.

"Even though it happens rarely, people can still get tetanus and experience serious or deadly effects. There is no cure for tetanus, and no definitive proof that you will have lifelong immunity with childhood vaccinations alone. So for now, the CDC continues to recommend booster vaccines every 10 years to help your immune system protect against these infections. If you have questions about the tetanus and diphtheria vaccine, talk to your doctor."
> A world where a regular person in their everyday life do not need firearms exists all over the world. Are you the police? are you the military? and if so are you currently working? If not then you do not need a gun.

Someone upthread made a good point: a regular person in their everyday life does not need a fire extinguisher. Most people go their whole lives without ever using one.

Several months ago I listened to a story about Myanmar on (I think) NPR's The World. After the coup and after the military started shooting protesters, many urban pro-democracy activists sensibly realized that nonviolent action wasn't going to work, and headed out of the city to get trained by some ethic rebel groups in the countryside.

However, when they were done with their training they had to do back home unarmed. Myanmar has strict gun control, and the rebels didn't have any guns to spare.

So, in summary: you don't need a gun until you do.

Edit: I think this is the story: https://www.pri.org/stories/2021-06-02/souring-peace-marches...

Not angry in the least. I'm thrilled someone is working on a search competitor to Google.

I understand you're attempting to dismiss my pointing out the bad results by calling me angry though. You're focusing your content on me personally, instead of what I pointed out.

The parent was far overhyping the results in a way that was very misleading (look, it's better than Google!). I tried various searches, they were not great results. The parent was very clearly implying something a lot better than that by what they said. The product isn't close to being at that level at this point, overhyping it to such an absurd degree isn't reasonable or fair to the person that is working on it.

I would specifically suggest people not compare it to Google. Let it be its own thing, at least for a good while. Google (Alphabet) is a trillion dollar company. Don't press the expectations so far and stage it to compete with Google at this point. I wouldn't even reference Google in relation to this search engine, let it be its own thing and find its own mindshare.
Instead of whining it would be a good idea to make people aware of the stuff we care about and help them take better decisions.

I have available weapons and drugs. zmI do not use either. I am convinced it is a bad decision except in probably very extreme conditions.

We cannot be blaming others just for doing ads. No demand, no offer. Got it? Easy as that.

We all like a world we do not have, we always find problems. But that is not a reason to say what is bad or good. The market will decide :D

I do not get stressed at all with all these Betting houses (now fashionable in Spain) or drugs or anything: just need to be responsible.
Nice article!

Any way to check in the devtools which src/image is used for the picture element? I checked for the Computed Style of "src", but nothing is shown.
Though, I don't see any discussion here on failed speculation / deoptimisation, and I do see discussion of disabling individual optimisation passes. I guess the generated optimized code assumes that all the speculative types collected during startup stay stable? This makes sense in a highly controlled environment like a game engine, though it makes the project less amenable for general purpose use (which is fine).
Then perhaps we're approaching the collapse of an unsustainable system? The global supply chain has always seemed too fragile to me.

Prior to Covid it would take several months to get transformers used in substations. I'd hate to see where that stands now.
