> This is a canned argument for any criticism of older programming languages

No, its a an argument that applies to the ease of making disruptive changes to languages with less legacy in the ecosystem (age is a factor, but not the only one; its also a reason why Ruby, which was a similar age with the disruptive 1.8 to 1.9 transition had an easier time than Python did with 2 -> 3).

It doesn't apply to all criticism, or even to “older languages” generally (at least not equally, though survivorship bias means it is likely at least somewhat applicable to older languages that it is interesting to discuss in the first place.)
What is the fix if employers ('the rich') are to employ and not exploit? For cases in the news like Amazon drivers etc it is clear but many people just want jobs and do not feel exploited even though their boss is making a killing?
It's time to have a big talk about transparency.

Some of the people who defend the ultra-rich are also the ones who claim to be in favour of free markets. A small bit of economic orthodoxy is that for free markets to work, parties need to be informed (and externalities priced in, but that's another story). This is not just in terms of "this is the price of bananas" but also in terms of knowing eg what various salaries are, which businesses are profitable, etc.

How can we have free markets when we don't even know who owns what?

As for taxation, there needs to be an overhaul. Things need to be simpler, and I say this as someone who has used international tax advisors. There's no reason the tax guy's diagram of your business should be more complicated than your own diagram. Moving profits to other countries shouldn't be possible, or rather, it should be more fixed by the nature of the business than by the desires of the CFO. We simply hear too much about "selling IP rights" to subsidiaries and similar schemes that are clearly meant to lower tax rather than increase revenue. Granted some things will be legitimate, but it's important that some vague concept of fairness is adhered to. This again goes back to transparency. We invented corporations to help improve society, so we ought to know what kinds of things people are doing with them.

Edit:

Perhaps the way to see it is, if you say "we make money by selling coffees in the UK" you would expect that entity to report a tax structure that contains a bunch of coffee and UK related entries. Reporting to investors ought to mirror reporting to the taxman.
That's a straw man. The problem is tons of research and development won't happen without the state, but the main avenue the state funds development (as opposed to research) is the military.

There are many possible futures, and the world is highly non-ergodic, so there is a real cost here to biasing the development of technology in this matter. "Opportunity cost" doesn't do the concept justice.

We don't have to stop military research, but we should bring up the Arpa-E and other such things to bring balance to the situation.
Every time I hear someone say "life is hard, just push through it, embrace the difficulty", I hope they understand there are different levels of hard.

It's absolutely true that if you want to accomplish almost anything you need to endure some levels of suffering. There are a lot of people who just need to hear "quit complaining, quit trying to make it easier, and actually try". There are a lot of people who fail to achieve their goals because they don't try, they're too lazy and they're too nervous to push themselves.

But if you just try to push yourself as hard as you can for the sake of it, you'll waste your effort and burn out. Success requires effort but it's only means to an end: e.g. the success from releasing a product isn't the crunch time you put into it, it's the actual product. Hard work alone won't get you far, you also have to work smart. This is why IMO "embrace the pain" sends the wrong message, "accept the pain" might be better.

Furthermore, everyone has a limit and you have to understand yours. Too much suffering won't make you stronger, it will actually break you. A cruel realization is that there are poor people and laborers who've went through more suffering than you can imagine, and they don't have anything to show for it.

Instead of shelling out a ton of money ($1,000+) for custom molded in ear monitor headphones, check out the subReddit DIY In Ear Monitors: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIEMs/

By the way, you can even 3D print your in ear monitors, but this is absolutely not necessary, and especially so if you are cheap.

Getting ear impressions from an audiologist generally costs $50-100 but I prefer to do it myself.

It is also not difficult to make proper ear impressions, too. See this for example: http://static.speedwaymotors.com/pdf/910150509.pdf

However, this was my basic search technique to find this document about making your own ear impressions: "impressions" AND "ear" AND "bite block" AND "make" filetype:pdf (I hope this allows you to do more research)

There is a great guide on making basically perfect DIY in ear monitors, pay attention to the first comment (however it involves 3D printing...also I much prefer clear shells for the in ear monitors...) on this Reddit page: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIEMs/comments/kfdwf5/made_my_first...

Anyways, one should really take a look.

When it comes to audio quality and listening on a Bluetooth phone without a 3.5 mm jack, you use a DAC (digital to analog converter) which allows you to enjoy the music on a totally new level. I would recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-Balanced-Amplifier-Windows-Porta...

There are also Bluetooth DACs that may be preferable too. I recommend the FiiO brand. Here is an example of a Bluetooth DAC: https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-BTR3K-Bluetooth-Headphone-Unbala...

If you enjoy music a ton just in general and love wired headphones, I strongly recommend getting a DAC that is compatible with mobile phones even if you are not interested in DIY in ear monitors...

When it comes to making phone calls (or even microphone use) with DIY in ear monitors, you need to be observant of the type of 3.5 mm plug that you use. ONLY plugs with 3 indentation lines (NOT 2!!!) are capable of microphone use. Anyways, here is an example of what I am talking about so we are clear on this issue: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=3.5.+mm+plug+microphone&t=fpas&iax...

When it comes to using your in ear monitors for phone calls or microphone use you need to:

1. Get a Bluetooth transceiver that is mic capable, such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-RollingStone-Headphones-Str...

2. Get an in-line microphone which plugs in directly to your DAC and gives it instant microphone capabilities

* Android version: https://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Headphones-Samsung-...

* iPhone version: https://www.amazon.com/Bose-Comfort-Headphones-Inline-device...

I hope this post helps.

Productivity is a funtion of destination. If that destination isn't clear, if it isn't communicated then any short term gains will most certainly be lost over the long term. Or worse, you'll be looking to fill a position that you just filled weeks/months prior.

Suggestion: Consolidate the websites/names. I see two:

- JavaScript Restrictor: https://polcak.github.io/jsrestrictor/

It was slightly off-putting to click on the JShelter Chrome link only to be greeted with a "different" extension. I assume the project was originally called "JavaScript Restrictor" and is undergoing a rename (which is fine), but I could see new users being wary of installing it because of this.

Hi Humans of HN,

This is a little experiment in syntax hacking to try to get "Enums" in JavaScript. I'm quite happy with the first one, besides the first character of each value being silent but necessary in the definition (but not in the usage). Second one is workable, but less syntactically semantic. This just comes out a bit of exploration I was thinking of tonight about how to get enums in JavaScript. Thinking about C or Java flavored enums, but it would be possible to extend (the first one, anyway) to give go-flavored enumerator functions to customize the assigned numeric values for the constants. This is the only comment I'll make in this thread. I hope you enjoy. I'm sharing it as way to maybe give you ideas, bonce off something about syntax for you. :) ;p xx
There was a Joe Rogan interview with Tulsi Gabbard that degenerated into a doom-loop like this, of them both enthusiastically agreeing over and over that "nobody talks about the issues". They were so obviously set up perfectly for a segue to a discussion about... any issue... and their conspicuous, almost panicked, refusal to do that really stood out to me. The reason, it seemed clear to me, is that this was exactly as deep as either could venture.

btw based on that page that there were some processors submitted, yes.
I think you missed the point of the example. Lemire's example isn't "the use-case" for this optimization, it's just a trivial motivating example. The use-case is more like, "assume you're currently using a Bloom filter in an appropriate context, here's a way that might be more efficient".

The point of the post is the optimization technique, not trying to describe when a Bloom filter would be appropriate.

True, but there's plenty of low-hanging fruit in areas like embryo selection, enough to increase population-level intelligence by several standard deviations.

One downside of both hierarchical and network (graph) models that is not mentioned either in the post or parent comment is, "access path dependence". Network model allows multiple paths but basically just forestalls the issue.

As to sibling comment question about how to keep up on this stuff, the preceding info was in the "tar pit" paper that has been discussed a lot here on HN. So I'd say, your already doing it. Continuing education is part of any profession and this is probably a better way than some.
Yes, that is usually the barrier to entry. My go to example is how the Bezos of the world fund their lifestyles by taking out low interest loans backed by their stocks. The loans are rolled forward continually and only paid off once they die. This avoids capital gains, which is higher than the loan interest. This technique is legal for anyone, but good luck convincing Goldman Sachs to loan you money based on 0.001% of Facebook’s outstanding shares.

GP’s argument, I believe, is that if these techniques were usable by you and I they’d close the loop holes quickly. The reason why they’re not usable by the plebs is immaterial to the basic point. Tax code is very much a “rules for thee and not for me” area of the law.

I really enjoy using FastAPI[0], but I miss the power of Django's admin panel, and Flask's tight integration with Jinja[1].

There's a number of "full-stack templates" available for FastAPI, but they all seem to favor javascript-based clients over server-side templates. I decided to cobble together my own FastAPI "template", with some nice improvements. It tries to mimic the experience of starting a new Django or Flask app. The main feature is likely the integration of Flask-Admin[2], using FastAPI's WSGI interface. Authentication and authorization might get hairy, but I've provided the basic implementation for the user to build upon.

I hope to one day rewrite Flask-Admin from scratch for ASGI apps (and FastAPI in particular, for its wonderful dependency injection).

Let me know what you'd like to see added or improved upon in this boilerplate!

> we had to depend on DevOps for things I could whip up in Docker and bash in minutes

I absolutely believe you (Nix has a bit of a learning curve), but just as a counterpoint I'd like to mention that I've been using Nix with all sorts of languages (compiled and interpreted), for various projects (local applications, cloud services, static HTML sites, etc.), on Ubuntu, NixOS and macOS.

I recently had to interact with Docker for the first time and found it very bizzare (annoyingly, lots of documentation (e.g. that of AWS ECS) assumes its readers are already familiar with Docker!). It took many attempts to install it, using various different guides, versions, etc., many of which turned out to be obsolete (e.g. "docker machine" was recommended, but that's apparently replaced by "docker desktop", but now I'm hearing I should use "docker compose"?).

After I eventually figured out how Docker works, I ditched it completely since I found it easier and more reliable to build container images using Nix and run them directly.
That fact that it can happen at all when a time-proven solution has already existed for centuries is telling. I don't know why people think having irreversible transactions where no recourse, even legal, can force a reversal of the transaction, is a good thing.

For the record? I'm totally fine with that. As I'm basically one of the static linking group, or "use dynamic libraries in a way non-distinguishable from static linking".

If I'm relying on it, it's getting tested and I'm not going to dork with it without good reason once it is.

that kind of optimization requires you to know your machine architecture quite well. SIMD optimizations aren't new. but it's always amazing to see these performance increases on a single machine!

My guess is that it'd be twice as much. It uses about 3 times more fuel than a modern widebody, but flies about 3 times faster than them too, so they'd be able to fly at least twice as frequently. All things considered, I'd expect ticket prices at twice the price of coach, perhaps less, but the added convenience of extra departure times and shorter flights would enable a lot of elasticity.
Even Linux isn't really the outlier. The syscall convention is stable, but you're not statically linking the kernel into your binary.

A "library OS" like FreeRTOS does exactly that: the kernel is just another library, with functions that you call like any other static dependency. You can only run one process (the OS & your userspace code are that process).

Really the "fully static" side is only seen in practice in RTOSes and similar embedded systems work. Being able to dynamically load more than a single process is just too handy to give up entirely. I don't think the opposite extreme has even been tried (every single symbol in its own .so, even within the kernel), the overhead would be ridiculous.
