Despite being a joke, I know it's the "Ha Ha Only Serious" [0] sort. I can't help but think this is severely biased by the trends of "enterprise software," where you eventually "give up", and clock your 9–5 writing if+for making a fine living, but erroneously pass that off as a mature, Jedi-like way of thinking about programming, like the meme suggests. (And, consequently, you spend no less time debugging hairy, nested, imperative conditionals with for-loops that are off-by-1.)

I have no beef with if+for, but a large part of the reason they're "goto tools", if you will, is because industry is slow to assimilate many state-of-the-art ideas, sometimes by as much as 40 years.

Simpler building blocks does not necessarily mean simpler solution. If only!

I think this is one of those features that was a bit preview in 5 and you should use the just-released v6 for PublishTrimmed. There are also situations where it doesn't work out of the box (e.g. Winui3!)
Scopes originally lost the trial too. It’s hard to see things as firmly settled in the US as well, “God says so” coming from another person’s lips is powerful to a great many people.

Sierra Leone is fascinating- it’s like the British version of Liberia, a settler state founded by an imperial power to repatriate emancipated freemen.

Sounds like this king was the ruler of one of the local kingdoms on the interior who had to contend with this new presence. Initially, relations with the Europeans were friendly. But over time, his descendants lost control of their kingdom to their own squabbling and the Europeans took over.

Same thing happened to the Kingdom of Kongo, which despite being a devoutly Catholic convert state, was eventually overrun by the Portuguese who were their original external contacts.
You do take a stand with your pumpdump comment, BTC is behaving differently and has been doing this for quite a long time so I don't really see similarities with shcoin scams
I don’t understand the use of “conflict of interest” here, the author is expressing an opinion, plainly explaining which “side” they are on, no other context required.

It’s not as if the author is trying to pass legislation or close a business deal without disclosing how they’ll benefit. Like my sibling says, that the author puts their money where their mouth is by placing bets against crypto only makes their opinion more credible.
Agreed, and that's just what we might end up doing btw. A bit more manual sysadmin work which we end up doing on EC2 instances currently anyway. And a lot of money can be saved by EU dedicated server hosting.
As a Canadian I am surprised to hear schools, "were highly invested in the Apple II". In Ontario and any other province I've heard about, Commodore PET, VIC-20 and 64 were nearly ubiquitous. What province were you living in?

Even if clocked higher, the IIgs didn't have the video power to compete with the Amiga. No blitter, sprites, or hardware scrolling.

What Apple product wasn't priced too high? Always have been, since day one.

As a marathon runner, people sometimes ask "How does a person run for 3 hours O.O" and well it's about the same as running for 5 minutes except you don't stop.

Simple != easy
you guys have for loops?
interesting perspective!
Hmm good question.

Let's say Bitcoin was strongly regulated globally. Anyone caught running mining software or transacting in Bitcoin has their hands cut off. Ouch.

I can still download mining software and run it on my computer, and connect through the network through Tor. Blocks are 1 MB every 15 minutes, it's noise. I don't need to know anyone or have anyone's identities. It's really really hard to catch me. Like, wayyyyy harder than the child pornography example.

Well, ok but what's the incentive then for me to use Bitcoin in such a world? Not sure there, like what's the "USD price" per Bitcoin. Ya this part seems tough. If all countries strongly ban Bitcoin with harsh penalties, that seems like it would put a kabosh on my ability to turn it into real world currency. But still could be used for digital goods.
Yes, the world is in flux.
>They are actually for work, just a better kind.

Then they seriously need a better slogan than "anti-work".
As silly and astonishing as it is, I've heard from some (mostly American) ISPs that a static IPv6 subnet is either not available for consumers or costs extra.

Yes, that's right, some ISPs rotate IPv6 subnets, negating many things IPv6 was invented for in the first place.

Tailscale, Nebula or any of the automagical VPN solutions you can run yourself (like Innernet, https://github.com/tonarino/innernet) will probably negate the issue as long as you can reach some server with a static IP.
It's NP-junctions all the way down.
Amateur. We do branchless coding and unroll every loop here.
The OP is asking more about how people are using the form factor.
Such a great idea. And you’re right, ebooks deserve to be more than just neglected lead magnets!
Amazing project used it to host 40 accounts on a server recently to host remote tutorials at a workshop recently :)
> The electrons absolutely do migrate through the wires;

That’s true. But very slowly in electrical terms. If I remember right the actual electronics in a reasonable circuit I read about was something like 1” per second. The vast majority of work done is an electron shuffle of bouncing into the next one in space.
The dot-com bubble lasted around 10 years, increasing almost exponentially in the last 2-3. Subsequently dropped 80% and took 15 years to return to those prices.
One thing this article misses are medical procedures that improve the quality of life, but have no bearing on life expectancy.

For example, if you knock out your front row of teeth, not only do you look weird to people (a pirate), but also you can no longer easily bite into a hamburger, and your speech is impacted. You will have trouble pronouncing words that contain 'v', 'th', or 'f'.

Getting implants is not going to increase your life expectancy, unless you live in a society devoid of knives (our external teeth). But the increase in quality of life is often worth it.

That being said, in the US dentists seem to take way too many X-rays. They take X-rays before the doctor even sees you. Then the doctor tells you what you could have told them.

Source: personal experience.
That is kind of mind-blowing.

The landing page and the video using Windows XP makes it look unappealing though

I'd still use 10/10
See PublishTrimmed: by default it includes all the standard library. "Trimming" is what almost all C-style linkers do by default, but C# doesn't because there are some reflection issues (e.g. you can reference types by strings and construct them at runtime, which would fail in a Trimmed environment unless you explicitly tell it not to trim those types).
That particular example may have been exaggerated or extreme, but I think the point still stands.

Someone just commented this "check out flat earth videos... they remove all comments that are critical and now with the dislike counter gone i guess the earth is flat.".

Indeed. In this case for example it should not be flagged, but down-voted by the community.
I’m not sure about the why, but it’s been that way for quite a while (since at least LLVM 5). You can explicitly override the optnone by passing `-disable-O0-optnone` to the underlying driver (i.e., you might need to pass `-Xclang` first.)

Edit: if I had to wager a guess, it’s because someone generated an IR module at some point with -O0 and then re-ran opt to perform a specific non-destructive analysis, at which point LLVM happily ran all of its default passes. So someone decided that initially building with -O0 is equivalent to saying “my code should never be optimized, even in subsequent invocations of the compiler.”
Computers are just thinking rocks.

I'm aware of the risks. That's why I said a culture of long-term relationships must be fostered if you want to pull such operations off.

Where I work right now people don't just quit two days later. They like the company and if they feel they want to go someplace else they're not being difficult about it. They cooperate in passing down their knowledge to colleagues before they go.
Not true nor guaranteed. Again your logic is faulty.
Seems to be mostly in the automative and industrial space, with some embedded stuff.

I could also see it being useful for door security (badge readers, latch control).
WSPR has nothing to do with any transmissions from the plane. He's effectively trying to use data from WSPR as a crude radar system.

I really am not a fan of Guacamole. I love the idea and convenience of having everything running in the browser from the client side, but I much prefer a real RDP session (via VPN) than having it in the browser. Why? Keyboard shortcuts! I am soooo much slower because browsers (not guacs fault - but at the same time it is its fault since I would love a native client) can’t catch all keys (e.g. Windows key). ALT-TAB? Yeah you just tabbed away from Guac. Or the new fancy WIN-TAB, no way that gets passed on to Guac. Also the file sharing experience is worse. RDP? Just drag an drop or Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V. That doesn’t always work in Guac…
Do you use both? I regularly use both and there is definitely some aspects that li is not better.
Remember, things are never as good or as bad as you think.

'Offline' internet can come back, we can put 32g of microsd cards in special locations so we can share content and /etc/hosts without anyone knowing, maybe go online from time to time to get the newest /etc/hosts from your friends and the new locations for microsd cards near you.

Math is just addition and subtraction.

We put an intermediary to them behind sso. Only the intermediary can get to the machine and forward guacamole traffic. Solves the no password / everyone in the company having access to test machines. We have a little script that registers endpoint machines with the intermediary and who can access the machine / when. We even log and do time block. The intermediary does password rotation with vault.
They were artists and musicians, so not quite laborers, but to be a part of that antiwork movement, one has to believe in a paternalistic company providing jobs as a reward for compliant behavior, where you've already inferiorized yourself, and that underlying belief creates a failed expectation, which creates the resentment we end up moralizing into an oppressed identity.

Religious or spiritually oriented people don't have this issue as much, as their primary relationship and identity is to something greater than their circumstances, and this gives them faith in alternatives, which means leverage in that bargaining relationship with the world.

They're not just tugging on a leash and calling it freedom, as for them faith itself means there is no leash. There's an underlying belief in the punk and antiwork mentality that unless someone has suffered like they have, we can't understand their truth, but this ignores that nobody would choose to suffer like they did unless they had first given up their identity as having been created by someone invested in their happiness (e.g. being actually loved). It produces some great music and culture, but it's based on a solvable problem.

The whole punk ethos is predicated on an appeal for dignity by people who first believe they don't have it because it was taken from them somehow. Someone made them rage, probably with shame or humiliation. The political beliefs that flow from it are a full psychosexual orientation. I'm not saying they're wrong, but I am saying it is a distinct experience that can't always be shared, and that's what makes reconciling it with opposition almost impossible. Didn't expect to go there, but it's all pretty Freudian.
> The bottom line for me was that fetching a couple thousand cells from Sheets as a JS array and then just processing them in JS without touching any of the Apps interfaces turned out to be a couple of orders of magnitude faster than trying to figure out exactly which cells I needed and fetching then individually, even if I only really needed a couple dozen in the end.

Weird, when I had worked with Google Apps Script, it had been significantly faster than working with the APIs by an order of magnitude or so. (although the feeback loop is still painfully slow)
Its DC. If you had to imagine it, think of it as a range of radio stations being broadcast down a wire instead of over the air and your router can tune in to all the radio stations at the same time and then piece together the different bits of data being broadcast.
Long Wave would be ADSL, ADSL2, Medium Wave ADSL2+, and FM would be higher forms of ADSL to give you your 40Mb, 80Mb, 100Mb download speeds.

With this broadcasting of signals down a wire now known, it becomes somewhat unsurprising anything capable of transmitting an electrical voltage & current would be capable of transmitting ADSL. Not knocking their effort though, Arnold and Arnold have always like to demonstrate their knowledge. One of them has a personal blog which can be quite interesting.

I wonder if they have considered trying to adapt an SDR dongle to become an ADSL transmitter?
Except it never can be that simple because many systems have millions of ifs when the entire system is considered. So architecture and parallel evolution of those millions of ifs becomes an entire field of study :)
I think the only place where there is no exploitation, is if you're self-sufficient and have no interaction with anyone else.

If there is a transaction, there is always a risk of exploitation. Someone has the upper hand and someone is the party under more duress --sometimes the little guy and sometimes the big gal. Even when working towards a communal goal as someone in the thread mentioned. Maybe I don't care if the communal canal doesn't get built. Maybe I'm okay with dying of thirst, etc.
All programs are by definition a combination of sequence ,selection and itteration.

This is the most insightful thing I've ever seen on Twitter.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania it was more like 3 years:

"contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels, with the major acceleration starting in 1634 and then dramatically collapsing in February 1637"
Strength training is equally simple. Just keep increasing the weight you lift.
The arguments I've read for or against undefined behavior are always:

1. fully binary: "[all] UB is nonsense" vs. "[all] UB is necessary for performance"

2. qualitative / anecdotic: "look at this compiler doing something unexpected" vs. "look at this optimizing compiler's transformation that would be impossible without UB".

Instead I would love to see a more fine-grained and quantitative study. There are many different types of UB. I'm sure every one of them is exploited by optimizing compilers. However, what would be the quantitative impact of disabling each of them on, say, SPECINT benchmarks? Of course some types of UB-related assumptions are deeply embedded in compilers, so it's clearly a question easier asked than answered. But I think simple things like signed-integer overflow handling can be changed (in clang at least?). Has anyone done benchmarking with this? Are you aware of any papers on the topic?
it's a chain. of blocks... hmmm.

Great, I was waiting for a recording to be posted on youtube or something.
I describe coding as similar to game of chess, in that it requires you to think several moves in advanced.

So you admit that your whole point about governments not being able to borrow was nonsense? Good.
I agree and do take time to ask others about this stuff.

Right now, I enjoy having a broad mix of people, young, old, men, women... to talk to. One thing I love is when they bring me stuff to discuss.

The trick is to express an interest and make those conversations fun, real gives and takes.

The numbers on people seeking news outside the established media are pretty high.

YT and the White House did that public beta and that was noticed! Brought to me by others who probably would not otherwise.

"Why hide dislikes for POTUS?"

Why indeed!

The people saying few care about the details like the HN crowd usually does are not wrong.

But there is more to this than that.

Discussing whether dislikes is useful to understand potential video quality is a mixed bag like proponents of that idea say. And in some instances, say for how to videos, it is a great metric, like those proponents say too.

A higher order look at this is more like what normies are into.

They ask how come this became an issue after POTUS, CNN and Fauci got ratioed non stop?

They ask, "who decides what is misinformation? Is it the same people getting RussiaGate wrong for years, and who always seem excited about endless wars?"

I can make a case for how hanging out here alters perceptions in like kind.

Maybe more people talking outside their comfort zone, with a more diverse set of people and contexts is a good thing. Having done it for a while, I sure think so.

People do not care too much about the details. They care a lot about being managed, essentially told they need to be guided in this way.
Don't throw around slurs like that.
NYSE and NASDAQ are regulated exchanges with stable transaction prices (ie- regulatory taxes and fees). Unscrupulous crypto exchanges can generate "volume" out of thin air without any repercussions.
And c++ is basically just c with classes.
Godfrey's claim is that he can detect the plane from reflections of these radio waves and the effect they have on signal strength, and to determine its position in three dimensions. Skeptics suspect he is seeing patterns in noise.
The acronym has nothing to do with average developer salaries, for there are lots of other contenders that pay more.
how does performance compare with x2go/freenx?
Just for reference, this was the discussion of the “Show HN” post from February, when I initially published the project: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25995838
One time I told someone I work on web apps and they said “oh that’s just html and css that’s easy.”
…how is efficiency different from scale? Right now Eth cannot accomodate the transactional demands of the world because it is extremely inefficient and costly (gas fees)

I don’t claim to be an eth or PoS expert, but is it not the case that the transition to PoS is to lower transaction fees and prepare the network for sharding? Maybe sharding for scale is a totally separate issue, but I don’t understand why they would prioritize PoS if it wasn’t necessary for the next step of becoming a “world computer”

I don’t want to come across as too flippant, I would like to understand the optimistic viewpoint.
You need a lot of people using the service for people to find it worth paying for. I saw this with Pillowfort; intended to be a place for the people who had been forced off of Tumblr to go. They require a one-time $5 payment to create an account because they don't want to bring in investors and be forced to exploit their users to maximize earnings. This payment stopped a lot of people from joining. They are used to being able to share their art and socialize online for free. And they had no guarantee that others would join and stick with the site.
It's not a fallacy of any kind. It's a form of logical argument. If A implies B and B is absurd then A is absurd.

My 2 cents

I've been an Elixir developer for years now, loved it immediately and still loving it after all this time.

About refactoring: I've been working as a Java developer for the past couple of years and I must admit thaat Intellij does a pretty impressive job at helping you refactoring code and their code sense is top notch.

But, there's a but.

I've never found myself having to make nuclear refactorings in Elixir, not because I don't refactor my code, but because modules are self contained and not tied with anything else, most of the times it is faster to abstract something over what you already have than to refactor all the things.

For example, if you decide that you need a struct instead of the old map, you advd a new function that pattern matches on the struct and pass it down.

If the struct has a different structure, you process it and pass it down.

The "treat data as something that is constantly transformed" mentality can take you a long way.

When I can code in java in a way similar to what I do in Elixir, things get easier in Java as well.

I miss symbol renaming in Elixir too, but it's never been a big stopper in the 6 years I've used it as a primary language.

edit: biggest strength of Elixir is Jose Valim himself.
If you watch his videos you can see him finding a bug while doing something, actually explaining why that's a bug in Elixir (or some library) open an issue and ask for PRs

All while showing you complex software patterns that I though I could never face before using Elixir.
