Significantly better, yes, I've never felt like String methods were missing while using Elixir, they've also got some goodies like Jaro distance right in the stdlib. Docs on Elixir strings are here, plenty of methods: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/1.12/String.html

This getting started guide also covers some more examples of working with strings (vs. charlists, the erlang string type, which are described at the end): https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/binaries-strings-and...

Basic math right, so if you're 20% of the industry, earning 20% of the industry profits at that scale, and the industry grows 10x, then you have a smaller piece of the industry but your earnings remain the same as the profits grew as well.
You probably underestimate how hard it is to escape their "watchful eye". It would have to be at night and covert, it would only work for a very small amount of people at once, and the Taliban would notice and make sure that it doesn't happen again pretty quickly.

Proportionally, a greater area of San Diego can still be more expensive than a similarly proportional area of NYC Metro.

For example, NYC Metro would have cheaper housing 60min from work than San Diego. I generally find land in coastal CA to be more expensive than everywhere else in the US.
It's not a person requesting data about themselves under GDPR, it's the dutch prosecutors and courts requesting data from Tesla for a criminal investigation. "they" is not the driver but the dutch authorities; GDPR simply is not relevant at all for this case (e.g. GDPR article 2.d explicitly states that GDPR does not apply to activities like these), general rules of criminal process and court orders apply.
Same here, turnip was the tradition in Ireland in the 80s/90s, pumpkins were an American import.

Yes and no - the term was used early to describe the native register size of a microprocessor. Later on, when microprocessors began offering instructions that could deal with varying data size, it became one of several terms used, e.g. the Motorola 680x0 which uses the terms bytes (8 bits), words (16 bits) and longwords (32 bits).
I agree!

... But I do wish I had some knobs in stable to hint the compiler in rust.

Mark a condition as unpredictable, a branch as likely, a loop as likely to be long, etc.

Some of it exists as intrinsics but this is not accessible in stable rust.

Swiftui was heavily inspired by React (https://twitter.com/jckarter/status/1135666944273571840)

It depends on what they consider "collecting information". Does your server log IP addresses? Do you know the age of the person behind each IP address? Does that count as "collecting information" about them? You know an IP, the time and date they accessed the site, what pages they viewed, you can infer a general location. If the law is not clear enough, it can be interpreted to make basically any website infringing.

If you want to have a newsletter, or offer a service where people log in and want to recover their password, you'll need at least an email address. Can you verify that every email address is exclusively used by people 13+?

Well, more precisely, they didn't trust that the private company was providing everything, presumably:

They asked for data, were given data, when they looked further they found it was incomplete.

This. I've Interviewed multiple senior engineer and dev manager candidates who couldn't tell me anything about software licensing, anything.
My comment is not about the best way to organise society. It’s pointing out that if you believe that view, you still have a bias. The OP’s comment sounded like “I’m not biased, because my view is objectively correct”.
I trust people (as a group; individuals can be real dicks) more than a literal black-box that can’t really audited because the software is proprietary.

Close. Smart people are _willing_ to take actions with short term benefits at the cost of long term detriments.

Smart people understand that there are multiple correct answers to the same problem depending on what timeframe you are operating under, and that the long timeframe is less controllable.

TLM L6 here. I completely disagree. "Be a manager" is sufficient only to L5. Simply managing a team, even a large team, is not going to build a case to L6 at all. The primary challenge that L5->L6 TLMs and EngManagers face is finding time for doing the other stuff beyond just the baseline of management to build a case for L6.

Contrary to what the author suggests, 8 bits / 1 byte is the most common specification since 45 years now, not just "the last 30 years or so". MOS 6502, Z80, Motorola 6800/6809/680x0 and Intel 8080 were the most popular CPUs of the 70s and most of the 1980s.
Stop insulting people. It breaks site guidelines and it is irresponsible. Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they are "confused" or "missing the point".

If you have a good faith argument to make, you can do it without personal attacks and lies. You can certainly do it without trying to gaslight others into thinking that complaining about personal attacks itself constitutes a personal attack.

Just beyond the pale. For shame.
For hooks done right I recommend people look into SolidJs https://www.solidjs.com/.

Very similar API to React but the reactivity system is nicer. There's no hooks rules like not putting them in if statements or inside other hooks.

Very cool and I think this is the future. It also helps that the performance is crazy good and it doesn't re-render everything all of the time like React.

By “conservative” do you mean: one book, one news channel, one social media platform?

I hate terms liberal and conservative they don’t mean anything anymore.

Stop identifying with some label and ask yourself: am I learned? Do I try to understand? Do I empathize? Do I sympathize? Do I produce? Do I consume? Do I consume more than I produce? Do I take action? Do I blame others? Do I litter in the park? Do I take care of myself and others?

If you think about it, communism is all about: one book, one news channel, one social media controlled by the government. How do these “conservatives” who pride themselves patriots think living in a moderated cesspool of misinformation is any better than a government controlled one?
I remember when EVs where a pointless toy for rich people to flaunt their wealth, now they're causing problems by letting poor people drive more. That's some remarkble progress they've made while still somehow remaining vaguely problematic.
That sounds about right, that it costs more to ameliorate the problem than can be earned by causing it.
I will give you an answer. The average system won't encounter the drawbacks of not using this model until they have the good problems of too much success and too many users. At that point you can throw warm bodies into cold chairs and mostly solve the problem. To conclude, Node and Python are good enough, and VC bucks will iron out the kinks.

That being said, having learned Elixir, I struggle to imagine using anything else for a greenfield web application. However, I have some curiosity about programming languages and was willing to take a leap of faith based on a few enthusiastic HN posts. Not everyone is like this.

> transformative global popular movements in recent times. E.g. Arab Spring

This illustrates the benefits and the hazards nicely; open comms can give you a revolution, but it's not sufficient to produce a functioning democracy.

Egypt in particular speedran the transition back to totalitarianism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood_in_Egypt

> ollowing the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, it first had great success. It launched a civic political party—the Freedom and Justice Party—to contest elections, which it described as having "the same mission and goals, but different roles" than the Brotherhood,[8] and agreeing to honor all Egypt's international agreements.[9] The party won almost half the seats in the 2011–12 parliamentary elections, and its candidate, Mohamed Morsi, won the June 2012 presidential election.[10] However President Mohammad Morsi was overthrown after mass protests within a year[11] and a crackdown ensued that some have called more damaging to the movement than any "in eight decades".[12] Hundreds of members were killed, and hundreds—including Morsi and most of the Brotherhood's leadership—were imprisoned. Among the general Egyptian population, a "huge hostility" was felt towards the MB.[13] In September 2013, an Egyptian court banned the Brotherhood and its associations,[14] and ordered that its assets be seized;[15] and in December the military-backed interim government declared the movement a terrorist group following the bombing of security directorate building in Mansoura

The people got democracy back briefly, and the first party they elected was an even more repressive Islamist government that had to be overthrown again.
CO2 will be elevated in a stuffy room, but that's not actually what you're noticing. It's humidity and VOCs.

If CO2 was actually high enough to be a problem, the first symptoms would be an increase in heart rate and rate of respiration. Kinda the opposite of lethargy.

> C++ is what it should replace, except it’s not clear that Rust is as fast for performance-oriented applications

I don't think that's true, at least not in a way that matters in practice. Sure, from time to time there's an article about a micro-benchmark in which carefully optimized C++ is 10% faster than carefully optimized Rust. Well, my users don't run micro-benchmarks, they run applications, and with Rust it's much easier and faster to experiment with macro-scale optimizations, which have a real impact on performance.

Case in point, recently I took a single-threaded CLI program and made it multi-threaded by spawning some threads and adding a work queue. There, instant 300% speedup, just add water. Yes, I could have done the same with C++, but it would have taken much longer to make sure I didn't introduce some concurrency bug in my code – and only on the condition that the libraries I was using could be used from multiple threads simultaneously, which is far from certain in the C and C++ ecosystems.

While this is kinda weird, I didn't find the dependence on the order of the hooks problematic. The most natural way to use hooks is also the correct one, at least for me.

What is a bit tricky is useEffect, but I found that in many cases I either didn't actually need it, or I can use libraries for common tasks that hide the more complex parts. Using react query for data fetching simplified those parts considerably, and I never have to write a useEffect to fetch data from the server.
I don't see how this follows as a response to the previous comment.

(The time required by home charging is not particularly relevant if it's happening while you're sleeping or the car is otherwise idle, anyway).
I think that websites generally do this based on whether the content is primarily intended for children (e.g. youtube doesn't collect this type of data when users are viewing videos marked as being for children).
Most languages have a built in parser these days, pulling in a c dep can be painful in many build tools and languages. The csimdjson api is sufficiently different to not as idiomatic. Most language json parsers are very fast already.

Personally I’m using csimdjson in a project with 100s of TB of json to burn through. This data should not be json formatted, but migrating away from json would require modifications to hundreds of different systems.

What competence?

The US surrendered to the Taliban (intentionally leaving the Afghani govt out of negotiations) in the March of 2020 with a planned pull out date of the next year and the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners (including the current leader). Right after these negotiations were signed the Taliban broke the deals of agreement, continued to increase hostilities, and gained ground in the rural regions of Afghanistan all throughout 2020 and 2021. All the while, the visa/refugee process was hamstrung so claims were not processed.
I don't think it's a good model. User interfaces go beyond using native controls. Every platform does things differently, users have different expectations. Trying to create a single application for all users leads to lowest common denominator software that never feels quite right for any user. Like Qt applications.

The right thing is separate user interfaces for each platform. More work and more expensive but it's the right way.

Exactly. The tax haven aspect is mostly the level of transparency with other countries. If you're from a non-Western country (because there is data sharing among EU and US/Canada to some extent) have $10M and decide to invest it in the Netherlands or another tax haven, it's pretty unlikely the Netherlands is going to be all that helpful in sharing that relevant information with your home country so they can actually collect taxes.

If you're actually a legal resident of the Netherlands well that doesn't help you at all since the Netherlands gov't has complete visibility into financial transactions within the country.

Same with the US. Great place to hide money if you're from certain countries since Uncle Sam doesn't give two shits if some countries can't collect taxes.
I agree with Jimmy Dore —- real whistleblowers are imprisoned and hunted (Snowden, Assange). This is a fake whistleblower. “I’m blowing the whistle that Facebook didn’t censor enough!” The government wants to transfer the massive power to shape speech (by blocking posts and adding clever little Orwellian “misinformation” tags) from SV to itself directly.
That was also a significant takeaway from this for me! How cool!
