There are many cases where such analysis quickly becomes exponentially expensive (e.g. nested loops or ifs) and/or requires analyzing whole program at once (to know whether anything anywhere might be holding a reference to the value you're checking), and there are patterns of code that are provably impossible to analyze (halting problem).

There are static analyzers that try their best getting this data, but with arbitrary references without clearly annotated lifetimes that can very often become a stack of "well, it depends" to the point the analysis has to give up.

Deduction of lifetimes in statically-typed languages without a borrow checker is very similar to deduction of types in dynamically-typed programs.
I'd like a well researched blog post on this, outlining when/where this does or doesn't happen.

So if a savvy writer is reading my comment, here is my hope in that it'll be picked up! :)

In fairness were it the meaning of synchronous that engineers are familiar with now that would be truly astounding.

I’m happy to accept the more liberal interpretation of the term as not all knowledge of merit need be readily appreciated by the technical eye.

> Talking to people in-person at meetups, being curious about what they are working on, listening attentively and following up.

What if the company you're interested in doesn't present at meetups? What if you don't attend meetups? What if you do but you're rarely interested in the speakers? What if you're interested but you don't establish rapport? If all things align well, how many relationship like this can you realistically maintain and rely on when you need a job? How many people can realistically do this in parallel for the same contact at the company?

It really sounds like the advice is to be constantly schmoozing so that you have contacts when you need them. I don't get how that's a more productive way to match company with employee than sending your details to companies that are looking for people. Getting a job through your network clearly works for many people. I just don't think it works for everyone and wish that we had something more honest and efficient.
Yes! To the UI developers: Please don't let optimizing for a single platform become a lost art. Not saying cross-platform should not be done or anything like that, but using an application that's 100% tailored to my device is nice to experience, from time to time.
Interestingly, a lot of recent developments in warhead design (e.g. the non-spherical primaries of the W-88) are actually about primary design - so I guess its possible this kind of research also feeds into the fusion boosting component of primaries.

Does prisoner's dilemma really apply in your typical command and control scenario? When enough of person's future wages, wellbeing and so is being held hostage by single party, the choice is obvious.

The article doesn't dive much into complexity of problem. Prisoner's dilemma doesn't have much place in traditional organisations. It is more subtle than that.

Don’t the economics work the other way though? The bigger the workload the bigger the saving and the easier it will be to justify moving. Probably a degree of flexibility in pricing to keep the biggest customers though!

First off, great job on the design, I can't say I'd be able to do as good a job. You put me to shame after years of web development.

> I would like fellow hackers to give me some constructive feedback

I also like how you see yourself as a hacker. Hacking is probably the most important thing as a programmer to get good at. It's not following best practices or reading the manuals that everyone else is reading. It's about finding creative solutions to mundane problems, this is what programming is to me.

"Upcoming classes" section was empty for me when I joined as a tutor. So maybe if that section is empty have some placeholder or some sort of instruction to let the user know what's happening.

Asking for banking details is also something that probably be handed off to a provider like Stripe for security/compliance reasons. And also to make your users more comfortable sharing that information with you.

Otherwise, great job and I can only imagine what your skills will look like in 10 years.
If you want the latest and greatest Org Mode functionality, then you really want to use it in Emacs. If you want a limited subset, then an implementation in another editor (or a mobile app) might do.

I find that it works best when integrated with other Emacs-based workflows, like checking my email in mu4e.

As someone who's set up Gnus in the past you'll be easily able to dive back in!
Couple of big things missing/brushed aside, really.

1) Uncertainty. On larger things, success is often uncertain (e.g., on new products, etc.), so the final consequences of the decisions are not known in advance

2) Generally, running processes well across an organization is not something that comes naturally. It needs investment in skills. For example, most meetings should have an agenda and should end with next steps as well as agreed and assigned actions. Tracking and planning similarly need effort and skill.

It might very well be that on top of it the incentives are wrong for people to take risks in (1) or developed skills for (2) or even to cooperate in the first place, but most people are not naturally good at administration to start with.

First of all, congratulations on shipping it! It's pretty cool.

Some feelings I had while using it, just in case it's useful to you:

- To me is a bit strange than when I'm focused on comments, by pressing Enter it opens the URL of the article (that it's not my focus right now).

- Also I would like to add comments, but I think in this version is still not possible.

- As others mention, it wouldn't hurt that those actions can be both done by mouse and keys (or maybe the title of the submission should be "HN with keyboard")

I like the colors and the blur effect, nice touch :)

This is great! For stories with 100s of comments it's nice to start browsing from a collapsed view of top-level comments.

- Why is the Comments count shown only for the highlighted story?

- On Firefox Windows, pressing the Enter key on an item triggers a popup warning at the top of the page. Took me a few tries to notice what was going on.

- Alt + H triggers the Firefox Help menu for me :| Can you change that shortcut key to "?" instead? GMail, Github etc use "?".

- The green background for the comment text is a bit too dark.

- Is it just me or is the comment text not showing paragraph breaks?

- The zoom in transition when the comment text modal shows up just slows things down. If I'm going to load many comments in that view I'd rather it load instantly. Also, what's the purpose of this modal? There's a "Space -> Read" for the comment that I'm already reading. I don't get it.
That's a pretty poetic way to say you're fine with letting 600 000 people have zero freedom. Australia will be opened up and 90% vaccinated with maybe 3k deaths. Unfortunately Little Caesars went bankrupt here, during that time, but I guess that's liberty dying on the altar of public safety.

I'm not saying that's wrong, of course working with a large team creates overhead. But giving the headcount of amazon and google as evidence for this is a bit misleading.

I've found the Eufy option with local storage and it looks great, but still I have some privacy concerns. Also some people is complaining about delay with the notifications. If possible I would like it to run with battery but I guess I could install a cable one.

Another feature that I find interesting is to be able to switch off the internet access and only allow within the local network when I'm at home.

In the future I would like to setup more home automation devices like the thermostat and an alarm system. So I guess I should go for an open source approach. The problem I see too many options out there and the hardware part is even more confusing to me. That's why I was looking in ready to use products. My developer skills are also very limited but I think I could learn this part.

But for now I would like to start with a good choice for my first device since my regular doorbell stopped working.

If I promise an interest rate of 100% in a week, and I convince a lot of people to deposit coins in my node, who will force me to pay the interest?

I'm not sure if this applies to all PoS, but IIRC in the Ethereum proposal, if the node misbehave the coins in the stack are frozen/lost forever. What happens in this case? Are the coins deposited in the node also frozen/lost? Can I make a fake account and deposit the coins from my fake account into my official node, so my node can misbehave and my coins are safe?
And remove Rust.
I would argue that in enterprise it is a good thing. In direct to consumer business it is not, because consumer does not have much power. But in the enterprise, the consumer has lot of cash and they can dictate lot of the rules.

In legaltech in general, the landscape is still very fragmented that result in painful acquisition, sales, procurement cycles.

From my perspective, consolidation is exciting because for the first time there camps have been built - one vendor platform vs marketplace kind of setup. Now, we have to wait and watch what strategy works the best and which camp executes better.
I worked for such a fragmented company before. The team I joined was effectively still the startup that had been acquired by that company 7-8 years prior to my joining. Since the group continued to make profits that were growing most of the time, they were largely left autonomous by head office for 90% of their work even over such a large time period. There were people in some of the US offices which formerly had belonged to that startup that would describe themselves as working for that startup despite joining after the startup had already been absorbed into the parent company. This division wasn't the only such division in the company.

There were certainly negatives, an internal transfer was effectively a new hire, just one who already had their email/git/vpn access sorted and probably already spoken to a few of the cross org teams like IT or security, but overall I never felt as much organisational friction as other teams I've worked in large companies.

Anyway, the parent company was acquired by a much larger one, that much larger one acquired a similar size company with a much more top down/unified approach to direction, and given that unified approach they were much more effective at selling a vision to our parent companies execs, so a lot of them were put in charge despite the original parent company being profitable and the new acquisition not being so.

There was a big push to standardise/centralise/etc. and in that time a few products stagnated and we lost customers. The newly acquired company has a pretty poor track record in dead/broken acquisitions from this pattern, so it shouldn't have been news that prioritizing this has costs. There was a lot of grumbling at being made move to "standardised" solutions that were suboptimal in meaningful ways, but were preferred at high levels because they were homegrown.

Everything certainly took longer in the new company, dealing with centralised, barely informed non-stakeholders who still had red tape in place to get anything done, along with a strong impulse to just copy other teams rather than come up with a solution that cleanly and effectively solves the problem. I left during this process, and a lot of the people who were the core of the startup-turned-business-unit also left, the largest group now at a rapidly growing competitor.

I don't think you tried very hard. Org-babel alone is enough, but maybe if you're not a programmer.
The architecture of GPUs is less exotic than people would have you believe. A given graphics card will have a couple dozen relatively slow cores (arranged in a NUMA hierarchy) each with 10 logical threads and 32 or 64-wide SIMD. The 10 logical threads/core enables many concurrent memory operations to be in flight at the same time, while the wide SIMD enables massive parallelism.

There's some cleverness in the programming model however: the code the programmer writes is executed on a single SIMD lane so 32 or 64 copies of it can be run in lockstep. In total, to keep every lane of every logical thread of every core busy requires thousands of concurrent threads.

(There is also some special purpose hardware for graphics related tasks, but that is less relevant to GPGPU workloads)
I've heard this effect put into more positive terms: If the ship is on a good course, making it hard to steer also makes it hard to sink.
Professional writing for publication is usually about number of words. The emotional fluff is a version of double-spacing and large font. It's there to stretch an idea that could be stated in a single sentence into an essay. Writing classes teach people to indulge in that sort of thing under the pretense of being interesting or persuasive. But classes aren't necessary. If you're writing for the web or glossies, you'll pick it up through osmosis. It's just what you say when you don't have anything to say but need to say a lot of it.
If anyone reading this picked Python for your AWS Lambda runtime, do you mind telling why? I would love to hear your rationale as I'm sure I'm missing an important take.

Libraries and code reuse. Python has libraries for everything, and we have written a whole host of Python libraries of our own. We know how to do what we want to do in Python and many of our lambda functions started their life in either python CLI scripts or as part of a Flask app. "Copy pasting" working code into AWS Lambda is much quicker and easier than rewriting in Node or Go.

If we're 'moving' to anything it would be moving some functions to C(++)

The exact same is true for political communities that aren't declared as a hate communities. So no, banning hate does not work. It does work if you define work as this study did, which has problems to say the least.

Today reddit is even more hateful than before, although that is a subjective meassure, but 5-10 years ago you at least had standards to not wish death on people you disagree with for the most part. There were exceptions, today it is very common.

I would argue the study is wrong.

I find your two quoted lines as vastly different. The first is accurate and the second is not. Synchronized means to happen at the same time. For a rate to be synchronized, I expect the same rate value at the same time (each person at say 65bpm). If the rate change is in sync, I expect the same rate of change value for each person (everyone is slowing their heart rate at 2bpm per minute). In unison means at the same time (but not the same value).

One headline means we are excited at the same time, the other says we mysteriously communicate the state of our heart to our neighbors.

Edit; a concrete example. Let's synchronize watches, you move yours forward quickly and I'll move mine forward quickly. Even though we moved in unison, we are not synchronized and showing the same time together.
When people have a common shared experience they have similar responses, who would have thought!!!
Dynadot

About a year ago I compared all of the top registrars by number of domains registered, for domain registration prices and feature pricing (like paying extra for whois privacy and ssl certs), and Dynadot just about tied with NameCheap, but I liked Dynadot's interface a lot better. Dynadot supports token-based MFA, free whois privacy, and free ssl certs. They also pass on the domain registration "tasting" period to the customer (if you purchase a domain name but change your mind in X hours, you can cancel and get your money back, in credits I think).
Ask HN: Google Search vs. GitHub Issues
The Googlebot has a crawl budget which limits how deep into a website it'll traverse relative to a given entrypoint. This can lead to unexpected omissions, for example Github issues with a high number and few or no cross-references.

For example: apache airflow issue 9939.

This issue wasn't indexed by the Googlebot and can't be found using Google Search.

And yet, stumbling upon such bits of information can be important and there's an expectation that Google can find everything on the public internet.

How can internet users demand that big tech companies invest in such long tail problems and not just mainstream content which might be easier to sell ads for?
