Good to see IDE support for TypeProf type hints[1]. I've been doing a lot of work in statically typed languages lately, and spoiled by how good IDE integration is with the compiler. Ruby has been moving towards static types for a while, but the lack of IDE support has always been the dealbreaker for me to go back to Ruby. The ecosystem needs more tooling like this.

Thanks for the link. I also suggest reading Rory Stewart’s book about his public service in this region of Iraq as part of the invading armies’ custodial government, the CPA.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_Hazards

The book explains a lot about the underlying political forces and cost of war.

Also notable, he’s the guy who walked across Afghanistan just prior to the invasion. He wrote a book about that too which has to be my favorite travel writing.
Can anyone share their experiences using YJIT or RBS in Rails?

I’m curious how the impact affects development, deployment, etc.
On one hand, I completely agree, we need more ornamentation. Buildings should not be this bland.

On the other hand, there's the high maintenance cost.
That's fair. Their revenue is up, and the projections might have been just wishful thinking. But I see many examples like these, e.g. BMW ditching touchscreens on their cars because they can't find them etc.
Why don't they work?
That is a complete wrong stereotype in my opinion. While there are such people, there are as many that talk your ear off if you don't stop them. Perhaps I belong to the former group and perceive it this way, but it certainly isn't seen as rude or anything.
Ask HN: Which tech stacks and business domains are more age-friendly in IT?
I'm afraid that IT is quite aversive to devs of older ages. I do not seek to understand why and to what extent that is true but I am starting to bump into it.

I think though that there might be specific tech stacks, business domains and roles that might be less aversive to older age and even actively seeking employees in age brackets of > 40 yrs old.

So, the question is, you have seen such patterns?

Thanks
> NFT can be exchanged without the original artist doing anything and the artist can still get a provision from that.

Which only goes to prove that NFTs don't provide ownership. The doctrine of first sale limits the power of IP by giving consumers ownership. This mechanism eliminates the doctrine of first sale, giving even more power to IP holders and destroying the concept of ownership.
Reading the development story and just how long they worked on this, with would-be competitors falling by the wayside the whole time, I'm less surprised than I was that Intel missed the boat on this technology. Intel, and apparently almost everyone else other than TSMC, were skeptical this would work.

But now that it does, Intel has some catch-up to do to build fabs using these things to match what TSMC is doing with them.
I have the opposite experience, but maybe it's just because you and me know the quirks of each system.

People buy funny hats to use them in games. Currently, the scope of NFTs is quite similar to that. That doesn't mean that we won't see better uses of them in the future.

> That is the whole point, I donate to the artist and the artist shows me gratitude by performing an action for me, like including my name in his videos!

If that's what you want that's fine. But there are artists that don't do videos and some people want other kinds of rewards.

Also imagine if e.g. Twitter would implement support for profile pics with NFTs. Then as an owner of a NFT you'd have something unique to display.
I certainly get having some kind of searchable log of a Discord server, but turning that into an actual forum with separate discussion threads and everything strikes me as something that probably doesn't work all that well.

>I have no idea why you wouldn't run a full-blown VM software like Fusion or VitualBox

Integration etc. It's just much faster and easier to pop up a terminal window straight into a shell on WSL than it is doing the same through a third party virtualization system.

>Who here is writing software which runs on Linux, yet needs to be running Windows while they do it?

Me ? Enough people that it justifies putting time into WSL and adjunct software (Windows Terminal) ?

There's certainly enough software on Windows that I need, especially on the audio/video front but also stuff like Visual Studio for my C# code. And there's UNIX software I equally need (headless vim and anything that runs on the CLI). It's a near perfect fit for me.
Damn I didn't know any of the Futamura Projections where actually implemented in practice.

> You can launch into a WSL shell in seconds without having to wait for a VM to spin up.

Start VM in background at boot time and ssh in milliseconds when necessary.

> WSL doesn't run the full slew of linux processes

I don't know what linux processes are you talking about, but minimal Linux ram consumption is something like 50 MB, that's hardly noticeable.

> uses the same memory space

RAM ballooning is available in VirtualBox or Vmware for years.

> CPU utilisation is much lower than a VM

I don't think that's true. There's no inherent CPU utilization in Linux (and WSL2 is VM).

> You don't need to contend with all the fiddly configuration parameters and config of VM software, and it integrates into the Windows environment by default, again without fiddly configuration.

And that's probably the main reason why WSL is so popular. Installing VM software, creating virtual machine with proper configuration, installing guest tools, configuring it to start/stop at host OS boot/shutdown, configuring shortcuts for ssh is out of reach for most developers and power users. WSL just simplified that process. Probably could be implemented with some wrappers around VBoxManage years ago, but nobody understood the problem.
My understanding is that people don't even mint whole files due to the cost of minting scaling with the size of the data, so they are minting links to the files, which you then have to hope always point to that file.
I'm not sure I can follow.

The "legit" transaction (NFT<->Money) would be declared and taxes would be paid on any gains.

The "real" product would be delivered off chain and without anybody knowing.

From an outsiders perspective it looks like a high value art purchase.
I use WSL2 daily for work. It's much better then using a fullblown VM, because it's much much faster to open and is completely integrated into Windows, and works seamlessly with Docker for Windows, which is now an order of magnitude faster compared to before. Soon, using VM applications like VirtualBox will make no sense at all for most use cases.

The difference is that nVidia would not be able to remove your NFT from its db of serial numbers, because the association between the number and you, instead of being in a DB it is in the blockchain itself, and the only one that can change that association is the holder of the NFT.

I agree, cryptocurrencies and nfts are built on FOSS and CO-OP philosophy, thats what it is all about. But I also dont think we should continue sacrificing artists and musicians for a vision of a star-trek post-scarcity world that doesnt exist (yet/ever?).

I think a lot of the backlash against nfts(and crypto in general) is that people have an abusive relationship to money, it is a point of pain and stress in everyones lives. So the idea of bringing that financialization and tokenization into more of our lives feels wrong. But the problem is we are already suffering under the system that does exists, with other people profiting off it. Doesn't it make sense to build systems for collective ownership, for supporting public goods, and for paying people for the work (art,music,foss) they do.
Maybe it wont work. maybe it will be co-opted by others. Maybe it will be better. Cant we at least try without a hysterical group calling us scammers and thieves in a new anti-nft article every single day. because they read some other bad take and made assumptions about "the kind of people involved".

It doesnt go unnoticed that the critics seem to be offering nothing more than "we can already pay for art". Great. Such a useful response. Thats going shift power in the world. Keep things as they are.

Yeah, the real magic is being able to bring a lot of the conventions of my actual desk into the virtual world in a more useful form.

The idea of a whiteboard can go away and be replaced with a 3D structure I can walk/zoom through - which for complicated systems design is actually a much better solution anyway (short version: you basically never need to have linking lines overlapping or colliding).

My desk can then basically go away - all I need is a chair with a keyboard support so I can spin around, and that means I don't need to dedicate a wall to "office space" at all.

Dashboards, alerts, "control centers" - all these things can be implemented in optimally efficient ways in a virtual office, shared amongst team mates, overlaid or augmented in different ways.
Yep. I keep my eyes out for the well-dressed people on Dutch style bikes.

I wasn't talking about his death specifically, although the fact that so many people wrote about how they felt personally affected definitely says something. Name one CEO who would trigger the same reaction.

Also, I also wasn't talking about the legacy of the company he founded, or about the fact that Tim Cook managed to create more shareholder value than he did.

I was only thinking about the influence he had, and keeps having, on tech products and companies today.
> 2) speaking of stimulus, despite the claim that it's a demand shock, the article makes this claim early on: The MP3 response we saw in response to the pandemic more than made up for the incomes lost to widespread shutdowns without making up for the supply that those incomes had been producing.

Most American workers just produce local services, they aren't a part of the supply chain for consumer goods. When they work the money just goes around in the economy, they neither add nor remove anything. So before another person paid them to do a job, and then they bought some good. Now the another person buys a good, the state prints dollars for the worker so the worker can buy a good without working, meaning the good now got bought twice when before it would only have been bought once.
NFTs do not solve a problem, period.

This has been said time and time again about each and every "blockchain/defi" project for the past 10+ years: all the guarantees of blockchain protocols are within the blockchain. The very moment you try to put literally anything relating to outside of blockchain all you have is extremely inefficient append-only database - nothing more, nothing less.

NFTs are datums with an URL. That is all there is to an NFT. It's not a receipt for art, it has absolutely nothing to do with an art in question. To translate it to business it is a receipt for an entry to the Louvre with a URL pointing to an image of Mona Lisa. It does not prove your ownership of Mona Lisa. Anyone can access said URL without the receipt. There can be unlimited number of different unique receipts with same/similar URLs to same/similar image on Mona Lisa.

It is merely an overly complicated way of transferring cryptotokens.

> Elisp is a really poor language compared to almost anything else

What makes Elisp a "poor language" in your opinion?

Elisp is actually a really good language. Especially compared to other languages used for scripting, like Lua or JS. In some areas Elisp is significantly more advanced than either: pattern matching (pcase, dash), object orientation (multimethods, multiple inheritance), iteration (loop), data types (Lua has 3, JS a bit more, while Elisp gives you lists (pairs, proplists, assoc lists, trees), vectors, maps, unicode strings with optional metadata, queues, rings, and more. While the lack of reader macros is unfortunate, the macro system along with hooks and advice allow for writing libraries that integrate seamlessly into the environment, and ones that cleanly hide a lot of complexity (ie. use-package). Additionally, Elisp performance is not very bad (though of course worse than JITed languages) and it got AOT native compiler recently, which should help improve upon it.

Namespaces are the only lacking feature at this point. I mean, there are lots of places where Elisp could and should be improved, but it's in quite good shape already. Definitely not "really poor", especially compared to the other scripting languages.

I do, because desktop Linux is a pile of burning garbage. Do we really have to reiterate this point every time?

Ask HN: How do you manage your personal documents?
As I get older, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to manage the seemingly constant influx of 'important' documents.

Fortunately, most documents are sent to me digitally, where I can easily file them on my computer and back them up.

For non-digital documents like auto lease paperwork, home-related legal documents, major bills that I want to keep around, etc, my filing system is incredibly poor. By 'poor', I mean: it takes far too long to find the document I'm looking for, it's difficult to decide where to file something, and it's too difficult to find things.

Every few years, we take a stab at reorganizing our files, but the lack of searchability and the other affordances of digital documents leaves me wanting more.

How do you organize your personal documents? Do you digitze them somehow? Do you have a great filing system? I want to know.
I wouldn’t use that headline.

I worked at a startup that had 10 or 12 groupware tools when I started. Every two weeks or so the problem that people couldn’t find anything would come up in an all-hands and they’d suggest we add another tool and management would say yes and then we would have 11 or 13 groupware tools.

We don’t need another place to have discussions, we need ‘one ring to rule them all’ that brings them together, curated them, makes them findable.

That’s the direction where you are going. It is immensely valuable but it is also going against the flow.

Two swindlers arrive at the capital city of an emperor who spends lavishly on clothing at the expense of state matters. Posing as art dealers, they offer to provide him magnificent clothes that would be backed by a digital token which proves value to those smart folks who understand digital. The emperor hires them, and they go to work in a special minting room. A succession of officials, and then the emperor himself, visit them to check their progress. Each sees that the room is empty but pretends otherwise to avoid being thought a fool.

Finally, art dealers report that the emperor's suit and its token are ready for release. They mime dressing him and he sets off in a procession before the whole city. The townsfolk uncomfortably go along with the pretense, not wanting to appear inept or stupid, until a child blurts out that the emperor is wearing nothing at all. The people then realize that child is very stupid, not understanding simple principles of digital DeFi-fueled web3.0 economy. Still smirking at the child, the emperor continues the procession, walking more proudly than ever.
