Adding one shared reference doesn't work because the number of shared references can be negative (if non-owning threads end up removing more references than they add: think of the owner storing objects in a collection and a bunch of consumers that pick them and replace them with None).

The meaning of the extra bit is "the object doesn't have an owning thread anymore, and the local refcount will always be zero; and the shared refcount cannot go negative anymore so a zero really means the object can be freed".

A second bit is used if a non-owning thread notices local+shared=0. In that case the object is placed on a list that the owning thread will go through every now and then. For all objects in the list, the owning thread transfers the local references to the shared refcount, disowns the object (by setting the first special bit). Then, according to the rules for the first social bit, if the resulting shared refcount is still zero the object can be freed.
I would really enjoy a proof that it is not!
I think car make is reasonable thing at least for coverage of the car itself. More expensive and more expensive to repair models should have higher premiums. And they should not be subsidised by owners of cheaper models.

The entire Python community was in pain over Python 3 for 10 years, even if migrating any particular program wasn't much trouble. If you want to contest the notion that there was pain, then fine: most of the community simply ignored Python 3 for 10 years, because there was no reason until quite late in the process to worry about it.

I myself never bothered migrating any of my Python 2 stuff. It might not be difficult to do so, but continuing to run it under Python 2 still works fine. If you migrated all of yours in 2 hours, you must not have had much to start with.

I do use Python 3 for new stuff most of the time by now, but I keep running into little snags, like the .decode() method not working on strings, or having some (but not all) of the codecs removed from the string module so you have to use the codecs module.

There's also the matter of stuff that is supposedly ported but isn't completely. For example, Beautiful Soup works nicely under py3, but it doesn't have a typeshed entry so its import needs a special annotation to stop mypy from complaining about it.

The real loss with Python 3 is that it could have been so much better than it is. I remember hearing that Go expected to pick up a lot of migrating C++ users, but it got migrating Python users instead.

Here's a pain story about a 2 to 3 migration though:

In a previous job many moons ago I was tasked with maintaining an application that used an Oracle DB with stored procedures written in Java.

The server backend was naturally in Java as well so as soon as possible I ripped it out of the db and ran it on the backend.

The code ran twice as fast.

It might have been partly due to the JVM in the db being 1.3 whereas the server had 1.4 but still, nobody bothered to measure and just assumed the code in the db running faster because it was closer to the db.

No one is buying NFTs expecting copyright ownership right now, that's just the nonsense people who are out of it think. There are NFTs that provide copyright with the purchase but that's optional. For now they are an alternative way to directly pay artists. An interesting idea that is gaining traction within the photographing community are people NFTing their photos and releasing them via CC when they are sold. If you buy the nft you get to fund the artist and this collectible has value afterwards.

Usually the more scummy ones you see are limited piece PFP collections with rarity traits etc. The OGs( cryptopunks) where interesting as the first NFTs to be ever made but the current churn is just hype. Besides that the more artistic generative collections like the art blocks curated are interesting. Most of the big pieces are in the collections of people that have no intention to ever sell them. Some are experimenting with online galleries of shorts.

Basically throughout the whole hype bubble with nonsensical projects( crypto is the definition of fuck around and find out) there are some who are exploring some cool artistic stuff. Personally I never understood high art so I'm staying out of it.

Also don't get caught up on the prices, these are priced in Eth, not $$. Eth was $80 a couple years ago and a few cents when it launched( and yes I do know people who have held eth since way back then). When something appreciates so fast it makes sense that some people are more willing to spend it in such ways.

I'm against mask mandates in principle, but it's hard to ignore that the strength of people listening to malevolent political figures has been much greater than the strength of people doing enlightened research. Maybe I'm just getting older and more conservative, shrug.

The best way of reconciling this seems to have been states issuing directives that didn't actually have the force of law. For example, the only "lockdowns" I know about the US were a few counties in CA. And yet people believed and acted as if there were such orders, even though they were really just strong suggestions to stay home.

FWIW the mask regime I was dealing with was being promulgated by a private company (the hospital), rather than the government. I'll critique any power structure regardless of its charter, but no political framework really has a good idea how to reel that type of thing in. To me the only real way to get past this is for people to become more intelligent so such top-down structure isn't seen as necessary in the first place.
There is a philosophical point I enjoyed, which doesn't generalize at all but is still interesting, about the idea that the past is a good guide to the future. (For example, "How do you know the sun will come up tomorrow? Well, it always has in the past.")

Someone pointed out that the relevance of the past to the future is a pure assumption. Even the usual argument that an otherwise unmotivated heuristic is valid -- "it's always worked in the past" -- can't legitimately be used for this point, since it assumes the truth of the question under consideration.

Making it illegal makes it vastly less useful for illegal purposes. Legitimate transactions provide cover, it’s like the difference between a sniper in a forest or an empty parking lot.

If bitcoin’s illegal you now need to find a buyer for the guns and another buyer for the bitcoins.

LuaJIT is x86, ARM, PPC and MIPS only.

However, Lua itself can run on anything with the C stdlib and a C99 compiler. Which means for realtime systems you're not generally going to be talking about LuaJIT.

The speed of Lua will depend on the GC in use. Whilst that is an incremental one be default, Lua is designed to allow you to disable it altogether, use the older reference counting one, replace it entirely with your own allocation system, and so on, so that it can meet hard realtime requirements.

I don’t think it’s a problem. It’s certainly not a problem unique to Slack.

Consider “internationalized domain names”, which are implemented via Punycode. The following URL does not go to Gmail: mail.goοgle.com

Note that this URL isn’t resolvable as of when I submitted this comment. Assuming no one has bought the domain and hosted something malicious there since then, you should be able to paste it into your browser to see what I’m talking about.

Depending on your font settings, that probably looks indistinguishable from the correct URL. Here it is again, followed by the correct URL:

mail.goοgle.com

mail.google.com

I created the above by substituting the first “o” with a lower-case Greek omicron (ο, Unicode U+03BF). The URL bar in your browser may or may not show the ASCII version - mail.xn--gogle-sce.com - once you navigate to it.

I suppose my point here is that if the domain name system in use by the entire Internet doesn’t consider this to be a bug that must be squashed, then I wouldn’t consider Slack’s lack of a uniqueness constraint for display names to be an issue :)

ETA: HN converts non-ASCII characters in URLs to Punycode upon submission. I had to omit the protocol portion of the URL to get it to display as entered. Good job, @dang :)

The last sentence of my last comment has a mistype. It should be "while they can only exercise naivety when formulating a course of action for themselves."

As for my point, it's pretty simple: the market moves away from tether on its own just as libertarian ideology suggests it would.

Those who use tether are aware of the risks and are choosing to use it anyway, and if they lose money no one will bail them out.

I suggest you reevaluate what you think a libertarian market, where adults are treated like adults and not like children who are subordinate to high up regulators, evolves into.

And really, that's what you're implying: that certain people, should control other people, for their own good, and I find it bizarre that any one would advocate for that when you can see the extreme inequality and dysfunction this approach has produced in traditional finance.

I think it's holding to your belief - not to the belief in a free society - that requires having ideological blinkers on.

I used to like D too.

At the time there was an alternative standard library called Tango that was more object oriented like Java or .NET, combined with a desktop UI library (desktop apps were my focus at the time) that was similar to .NET's Windows.Form (I think it was called DFL, and surprisingly the site seems to be still online [0]), plus the native speed & simple approach of D1 I really thought it was going to stay relevant for years.

Sadly, then D2 appeared, the community fragmented over time, then Tango was disbanded, and at some point I think I moved on to web development with Flash.

A few other thoughts:

1. Instead of hosting the images yourself, you're linking directly to Meredith Corp's image servers. They probably won't appreciate that; if you scaled this out enough they'd likely ban your referrer (and that's if copyright doesn't turn out to be a bigger issue first).

2. 199 recipes is too few. I'd say you don't really have anything to demo, or a good dataset to experiment with on your side, until you have tens of thousands.

3. Your search-by-ingredient and search-by-name both do the same thing; they just make a words list and set it as the query for MeiliSearch. Meaning it just fuzzy matches against all the attributes of every document in the database. That's not any more helpful than a generic search engine. I expect a purpose-specific search engine to take advantage of its domain knowledge; e.g. it should:

i. Know ingredient synonyms

ii. Recognize when an ingredient a trivial product of another ingredient (e.g. egg whites are trivial from eggs, but rice vinegar is not trivial from rice).

iii. Other than those two cases, ingredients matches should not be fuzzy. It's no good if baking power matches when all I have is baking soda, or if buttermilk matches when I have butter.

4. The documents in your database are not well curated (which will make #3 more difficult). You're actually leaning pretty heavily on fuzzy matching. For example, in the DB "vegetarian" is misspelled as "vegatarian". And many ingredients have leading whitespace, including newline characters. Keep your DB clean and you'll be able to take advantage of fuzzy matching when appropriate but still retain the ability to do exact matching.
