Because programming languages are different from regular software: for a programming language to be useful, it needs an ecosystem of libraries, package management, and IDE support. It's not the 80s anymore, when everyone wrote their own libraries anyway, maybe shared them with friends or colleagues, and didn't expect anything beyond a small standard library.

Today, a new language has a small window of a few years, after which it either achieves escape velocity, or re-enters the atmosphere and burns up. A new language which hasn't received major updates for two years, is effectively dead. It's a social phenomenon, not a technical one.
There are so many attack vectors now on phones ranging from the SIM Card (which has an OS as well) to all the baseband chips to the actual OS and the different app privileges (like the old SMS listening port).

What's interesting to me about the Taiwanese tech industry is their nimbleness and how MediaTek pivoted from a primarily DVD chip maker to dumb phone chip provider running on Pluto OS to now a smartphone chipmaker. Surprised the folks at Intel never tried to acquire them.

Not the ability, but mostly the desire. It’s tremendously liberating to just have a good EA, travel agent or concierge service taking care of everything for you.

Looking for flights and arranging other practical stuff is work, no reason to do it yourself if you’re filthy rich.

I’m still not really sure why this particular package costs 30k, Black Tomato seems to have some unusually high margins for luxury travel. We’d probably arrange this kind of an excursion for much less money (as a part of a larger holiday, which would cost at least 30k), but I’m not sure about the full extent of the support team they offer.
Ah, yes. I remember the time when I saw someone write something vaguely like the following

[0,ξ[={x|0<=x<ξ}

Which was fun trying to figure out when written in handwriting where ξ,{,} all look the same.

If you can't figure out what it's supposed to be, this equation starts with a half-open interval denoted: [ξ,0[. This notation has some advantages but can be make things hard to read.

It's already here. Politics and culture are first. There are now 2 sides. Both sides can't score Punch's on the topics they desire, so everything is merged. Take your shots where you can.

An example is using the Covid shot as a proxy for dissent. And if you don't believe in the shot, but take it anyways, can make up for it in another arena. Maybe boycotting a virtue signalling leftist organization.

My view of the singularity is we are already in it because everything is linked, and everyone is on a side. There is no such thing as apolitical. Your either playing the game, or you are a pawn. There is no out. The singularity is here, and it's winner take all.
Exactly. I think some people complain about Go's limitations. But this gives back in readability.
The "'rape allegation' narrative" is your imagination. Most news reports did not use the word "rape". "sexual assault" is commonly used in reporting this case. The Economist does not use rape either. "coercive sexual relationship" appeared in the first sentence. Stop making strawman attack.
Shouldn't there be some anti-trust limitation on that?
I think it is perfectly correct. It is a great thing to be an observer and I'm thankful I can be subject to the effects of observer selection bias. :)

I dont understand this notion that the literal Government is building and flying all of these things and that private companies achievements mean nothing.

Ingenuity was build with multiple non Government contractors.

The Lunar Module was developed and built by Grumman under Government contract.
Rocketdyne developed the J2

Boeing/North American/Douglas designed and built the Saturn 5. Why do people attribute all of these vehicles to the Government when they are were contracted to private companies to be built?

Its very strange that people deny that SpaceX created modern reusable boosters and they fall back on the damn DC-X project when a) McDonnel Douglas was the manufacturer of it b) it was a prototype that never made it to orbit, c) is widely considered a failure

Meanwhile SpaceX is absolutely trouncing every other company with Launching ability while Beoing, given every single possible kickback from the Government can't launch their Starliner for another year after already a year of delays.

They have developed the only full flow staged combustion cycle rocket that has ever gotten off the ground, something even the Soviets couldn't manage.
"Initial investment"

It's not an 'investment', it's just playing 'trading cards' with invented numbers, based on nothing.

"having a technical understanding "

No, having a 'technical understanding' just enables the obfuscation of the Giant Scam even more.

"having enough sophistication as an investor "

If you think it's 'sophistication' then you're in the 'fish' category being fed to sharks. Markets crash when the leads/powerful decide to make their moves (which includes the central bank actions, regulatory apparatus).

The magic numbers may continue to trade for a long time but it's still a scam.

I've always wanted to get into emacs, but I only have enough room in my life for a single set of keybinds, and vim has taken that spot. A lot of the emacs-for-vim-people projects are these huge distributions and when something breaks I have no idea how to fix it. Do any of you have a good resource for learning emacs from the ground up, but with vim keybinds?

Sub-domain takeover attack. The sub-domain was CNAME'ed to a S3 bucket and the S3 bucket had likely been deleted. The porn purveyor, re-created a new S3 bucket with pr0n.

I can make a guess why this might matter. For something that's not already widely used, we start with the premise that it is not finished in that it hasn't been exercised enough to know it is. With that a lack of activity indicates that edges are not being found and fixed. There could be an argument made that the way the software is developed and tested finds and fixes inconsistencies but that would have to be illustrated and not accepted as a given by statement alone.
Why doesn't it make sense?

Can you please emphasise to your management chain how important the need for less terrible support and developer relations vis GitHub is. They can close support questions but basically anything in these repos gets closed as fast as possible even feature requests and other things that should be left open.

I doubt they have the funding to meaningfully impact the overall hardware and software support matrix but if they could just make the GitHub repo feel less like I’m back in my days working at a call centre raising tickets to a second level support team in a foreign country who’s only business KPI was tickets closed per day.

Agreed. The crypto market will win eventually, the tech is better. Today though, there’re more bubbles in the crypto market than a roll of bubble wrap. I’m just hoping the government doesn’t bail out the losers.
Brewing typically involves boiling. That can kill a germ or two, or so I've read. That's true for brewing tea as well.

I think FFI, as you mention with OpenSSL, would be the better approach. And I think this would be a good idea in general. But most languages don't make FFI easy on either side.
There will 100% be generous carveouts for the government and the security state by the time this is signed. Bet money on it. I'm sure it'll be "for the children" or "against terrorism" or "against COVID" or whatever, but the capability will remain. No government has ever willingly relinquished a capability like this.
Vi mode was not good enough: first thing I do in a new shell is `set -o vi` and then try to do simple things: replace parts of words, copy/paste, search history. Fish in my experience was way worse than zsh and bash. Maybe things changed in the meantime?
> Is this true in most European countries?

Sort of. For an example that's not exactly worker rights, Hungary has a fertility rate of 1.52 births/woman, far below the replacement rate of 2.1. Yet when the right-wing government enacted policies to increase it, it was attacked as "xenophobic" [1] and that it "reeks of the 1930s" [2].

It is part of a trend of delegitimizing any kind of favoritism of a country toward its own people.

“ Neither of these guys were "slackers" and were brilliant men”

Actually, it is because of their status and the opportunity to be idle that they were able to nurture their creativity and become known as brilliant men.

And so seeing, they became proponents of idleness, both because they saw the benefit for creative minds, but also because they did not the consequence of idleness for the vast majority or people (nor how the idleness of the oppressed masses would — in the end — rob them of their own (profitable) leisure time.

Yes Clojure is all about first-order functions working on simple, concrete data structures.

Pervasive use of protocols and custom, user-defined higher-order functions I would argue is unidiomatic Clojure and creates long-term pain as you end up with opaque functions being passed around that can't be inspected at the REPL and a lot of tricky "fitting functions together" that is made difficult without a static type system. You sometimes need them, but you should reach for them very judiciously.

There's a reason Clojure emphasizes data over functions (and both over macros).

I respectfully disagree. No matter how arbitrary or obliquely bad of a decision Apple makes (supporting mass-surveillance, adding a notch to a laptop, buying out the entire 5nm node from TSMC), there are people on this site that will defend it. These people represent the majority of interactions I've had on the subject over the past year, because anyone who criticizes the dominant culture of the site gets run out of town on a rail. Every attempt I make at good-faith discussion around Apple ends with accusations, dogpiled downvotes and completely off-topic flamewars. I'm not the sort of person who cares about those things, but denying that they happen? It's in every $BigCo thread, every day. Without healthy skepticism to balance blind support, meaningful conversations cannot happen. When we fail to hold companies accountable for their actions, innovation dies. As this is a site made for entrepreneurs and starry-eyed startup jockeys, I think fostering discussions around the shortcomings of bigger companies opens the dialogue around creative solutions and novel products. Some people treat this site as a place to do battle for their favorite companies though, which ultimately harms the quality of discourse and reduces us to nothing more than tribal warfare.
So you think we can do without trust?

This can be done via a Telegram bot. Advantages include.

* Completely free, for any number of users. Great if you want i.e. internal notifications in a small, underfunded organization, or even 2FA codes. This might not be the best option security-wise, but has a lot of advantages if you want to prevent intentional account sharing, for example.

* Syncs across all platforms, including your own (the Telegram client API is available free of charge, although it is not easy to use)

* Extremely simple API, to the point of being able to play with it in a browser or via CURL. This is in contrast to the client API, which doesn't even use HTTP and runs on top of custom crypto protocols.

* All the features you might expect from a messaging service, including file attachments, receiving user input (for quickly dealing with alerts from your phone), muting specific notification bots, including for specific amounts of time, full message history etc.

The other thing worse than pagination is broken pagination.

The initial query of all rows might be slow, but once I have a snapshot speed is not the issue. I regularly do ctrl+a ctrl+c alt+tab to Excel and ctrl+j to run a program that gives me the result I am looking for.

Where I have control over the back-end, I like to provide static dated snapshots of queries.

I can be stingy but I would look at: Time to run the query vs. Value of having all the data.
Update: I dug into your example, and you're right about `readonly` on objects, which is really unfortunate (but I'm glad to learn about it!). Looks like it's on the community's radar at least, so hopefully they fix it some day: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/13347

Arrays are treated correctly though, at least:
https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/C4TwDgpgBAShCGATA9...

And despite the above, I still don't think `readonly` is useless or harmful. I benefit from it and I'm glad it exists, even if it could be better.

This extraordinary claim that it's easy to raise 200BN is backed up by no argument or evidence?

I wrote one math paper before I went into programming. It is a lot of work, like code reviewing but much much longer. It isn't fun. A big reason I got into programming is because that process is so much work. Of course I, the professor who reviewed it and the professors who looked at it afterwards understood it, but I can't guarantee that someone who hasn't read a lot about research level topology or combinatorics will easily understand much at all. However I doubt that anyone who didn't do those things will ever read it since it is an uninteresting niche topic. I'd be surprised if even 10 people read it fully.
I doubt it. They wouldn't punish a lapdog for obedience.
It's not Reuters, but the submitter.

Current Reuter's headline: Long COVID risk no lower with breakthrough infection; COVID-19 survival improves for European cancer patients

Current url: Current submitted url: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/...

The agreement between the submitted url and current headline make me believe the HN submitter intentionally edited the submission title.

(It's not entirely impossible the submitter is innocent in this, but it would require a rather specific sequence of events and some seriously unfortunate timing.)
It's also great that WTA does not depend on Chinese market, so they won't sustain too much of loss by antagonizing Chinese authority. On the other hand, look at NBA. The righteous American conscience, the one and the only King James, kisses up to China to no end.
> Did you just use an example from 2600 years ago to make a point?

Yes? What's wrong with that?

I'm pointing out the most widely known example, to make a point, which is: "it is possible to design notation specifically for keeping outsiders out". I'm not saying that modern math notation is like that. I think, as a layman, that it probably evolved over a long time and so is full of idiosyncrasies that made perfect sense back when they were introduced (my GP seems to describe it in similar terms, so I hope I'm not that far removed from reality).

Looks like he actually said something similar about wine though:

We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana, as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy!

This is a very well timed post, it being Thanksgiving here in the US :). Intrigued by this project but I don't see it supports the scale I just purchased (Eufy by Anker P1 smart scale). Will have to dive a bit deeper to see if it can be made compatible.

I think it's important to note the limitations of these kinds of scales for tracking body fat percentage. From what I remember reading, the technique they use is a measuring of electrical current though the body and then it calculates body fat percentage based on the resistance it detects.

The problem I've read about is that these scales tend to only send electricity the legs and not the entire body, which does not give a great reading on many body types. (I'm not an expert, so please correct me if I'm wrong here)

I think I've seen some other devices that incorporate electrodes on the hands in addition to the feet for a more accurate read. Would be great to see this kind of device added to the project if not already done.

I have always been more interested in measuring body fat % than body weight personally, as there is nothing more depressing to me than standing on a scale befuddled by my random weight fluctuations :).
