wasm functions must have a fixed number of results[1]. Lisp functions may have variadic results. A wasm function call must explicitly pop every result off of the stack[2].

These rules add significant overhead to implementing:

(foo (bar))

Which calls foo with just the first result of bar, and the number of results yielded by bar is possibly unknown.

In psuedo-assembly for a register machine, implementing this is roughly:

CALL bar
MOVE ResultReg1 -> ArgumentReg1
CALL foo

And this works regardless of how many values the function bar happens to return[3].

Any implementation that is correct for any number of results of "bar" will be slow for the common case of bar yielding one or two results.

2: https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/exec/instructions.ht...

3: Showing only the caller side of things, when the caller doesn't care about extra values hides some complexity of implementation of returning values because you also need to be able to detect at run-time how many values were actually returned. e.g. SBCL on x86 uses a condition flag to indicate if there are multiple values, because branching on a condition flag lets you handle the only-1 value case efficiently.
It's hard to tell sometimes what the right group is, though. My grandmother moved in with us. We all got on so well it seemed like the obvious thing to do. But she became depressed and just felt like she was living in someone else's house (which she was, really). Living together is a tricky thing and in my experience it's hard to know what will work. Worth a shot, though. They might love it.

This is the perfect compromise.

Forcing your employees to commute to the office 5 days a week just isn't a tenable proposition anymore. Hell, even the 40 hour workweek is becoming less and less acceptable.

1-2 days a week is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to put up with in office bullshit and still get most of the benefit that comes with it.

> Are you 100% sure the thing you're making #000000 is the absolute darkest thing on your site/app you'll ever need to declare?

Assuming you have a well-managed CSS architecture, you could use black for the darkest thing on your site now and change it later if it absolutely becomes necessary! I don't quite follow the logic of not using pure black now because you might need it in the future, since that same argument will apply just as much at that future time! Besides, there are only 256 shades of neutral gray (black #000000 to white #FFFFFF), so even if your "black" background is #333333 one could still argue "Are you 100% sure there won't be more than 50 darker shades of grey on your site you'll ever need to declare?"
I see the spending limits are still configurable on the new cards.

Does the switch from a pre-paid cards to a charge cards affect the ability for a merchant to collect on balances over the configured limit in some way? Or will those still be declined as it currently is?

Unlike an M-16, hacks can be conducted remotely, they can be used to plant evidence, conduct blackmail, and lots of other things where most people would never know a hack was involved.

Also, there's outrage towards NSO because Israel is supposedly an American ally. Israel needs American support, and yet Israel freely allows Israeli corporations to sell services American enemies. And this isn't an isolated company--there are other Israeli hacking companies that target Americans, such as Black Cube.
Heh, that showdown sounds like it would make for a hell of a book decades later.
For once there's something to really harshly critique and attack Israel about that isn't "It's a Jewish state in a neighborhood of unreconstructed Arab nationalists who don't want to admit they invaded Jewish land." And of course, no, you can't just let us attack the actual bad things Israel really did do. You have to change the goddamn topic to "Jew state bad."

> Only if you count general American military spending

Of course I do. Europe has no real army. France kinda has an army and the U.K got out. If America didn't provide a military umbrella Europe would need to actually build a real army (Europe's contributions to NATO are pitiful). How much would it cost the Europeans to do that? Going back since WW2 that's easily in the trillions.
Public education in the US sits at a difficult nexus of political will, cultural ideology, public opinion, and educational 'theory'. It rarely goes well, because everyone vehemently believes they know the 'purpose' of public education.

And so, we get posts like this: public ed as a 'pipeline to STEM careers'.

The reductionist view of public education-as-career-training is one of those contentious topics. I myself find it absurd. An ed system driven by vocations and political/ideological nation-state goals has been so genuinely harmful to people it's hard to know where to begin.
> In this light, it becomes apparent that the crisis crosses contested political boundaries (although it is admittedly progressives who currently have the upper hand)

Is it? At least in the US, I'm not sure what progressive political victories compare with, say, the long-lasting effects of the Trump administration, especially in the judicial area. More broadly, many progressive causes have been getting weaker in US politics for decades. How many of the places that enacted strong rent control decades ago would be able to do so today, for instance, vs those where it's been weakened?

I don't understand how you can remove algebra from middle-school curricula without exacerbating inequality.

Supplementary math education in our area costs about $1500-$2500/year (looking at Russian School of Math list prices). The exemplary private schools in the area I grew up charge $30k-$35k annual tuition (with financial aid available for some families). And you can DIY home instruction -- I've been working through the Moebius Noodles play with our 4yo, and I guess you could try to see if there's a Math Circle to sign up for.

But not every household can afford the time or money to coordinate extracurricular instruction. The kids whose parents are hyper-prepared and able to spend the time and money will end up with better math background, maybe a better shot at the AHSME/AIME/USAMO, and I guess maybe better career outcomes, versus their peers. Is that a fair outcome? Is it a good thing to do?

I'm very willing to be wrong here … I just don't understand how this plan promotes equity.

p.s. saw this in the news and tried introducing algebra to the 4yo. We're not quite ready yet.

"Hey kid -- if I have four of something but I want to have six of them, how many do I need to add?"

He holds up a fist, empty. "Four." Then he starts counting out fingers. One finger: "Five!". Two fingers: "Six!". He says, "Two!"

"That's right, kid. Sometimes we say 4+x=6, so x=2."

He gives a sly grin. "But I know my numbers so well that I don't need to use x!"

I expect it to be true but not very meaningful. Clock efficiency in isolation isn't any more useful a figure of merit than clock frequency in isolation. The fact that they're using a metric like that makes me pessimistic about the chip.

"Americans or Westerners to generalize can simply put their aging parents in elderly care and call it the day - life moves on."
That's quite a dismissal. Reading it sound like 'westerners and Americans just don't care about their elderly ones'.
I assure you that's not the case and in general every generalization it's wrong almost by definition. Be well.

Most (non-alcoholic) eggnog is pasteurized, I'd say it's a rarity to have 'cooked' eggs.

I am sorry for this situation. My brother-in-law’s parents were also super stubborn and it cost my sister dearly until they passed away. I am very lucky that my own parents usually are very reasonable and accept that they are getting old. My mom stopped driving and they also moved into a smaller, easier to maintain place.

I don’t think there is an easy solution for your situation other than learning acceptance and tolerance so this doesn’t affect you too much. I bet people who live with alcoholics have a lot of lessons for how to deal with irresponsible people while maintaining your own mental health.
Up to about 1990 pirate legos had shooting cannons. Then there were a few years in the early 1990s where the cannons had the necessary plastic parts to fire cannonballs, but you had to first disassemble them and add your own ballpoint pen spring. I’m not sure when they switched to non-shooting cannons. From a web search it seems like they have since switched back to shooting cannons.
Man, I have my opinions on Spinlaunch, too, but I find thunderf*t’s videos (especially the BUSTED ones) unenlightening & unhelpful to rationally discussing the pros and cons of some technology.

Scott Manley’s video (if video is the format you prefer) on Spinlaunch was much better. Scott Manley also has a much better understanding of rockets and space technology than thunderf*t.

I don't think Sam is wrong, exactly -- and that second thread does add some of the missing nuance -- but I do think there's a key missing piece here.

He's absolutely right that you shouldn't couple directly to the underlying representation. But Postgres lets you transparently define views that can be queried (and, with a little more elbow grease, updated) just like any other table. You can provide decoupling from within the database, and do so on-demand as your domain and your data model evolve.

I don't enjoy planting a separate bespoke API server on top of the database. Usually you end up lifting many of the same capabilities the database already has (auth, batching, ...) to your custom API, so a lot of the server is just boilerplate. Many API operations are natural consequences of your data model; there's little business or engineering value-add once you've settled on the latter, you're just writing glorified FFI bindings.

Lazy engineering will cause problems no matter what architectural stack you end up using. But a state-first architecture doesn't have to mean a complete loss of loose coupling -- it just means different techniques for achieving it.

I think it is somewhere in between. All the things you listed are true, but Amazon will still say things like "Sold by ...", and there is still the option for drop shipping (or something very close to it).

I am fairly sure that if Amazon had started the marketplace by promoting it just as an online department store, with all the "selling to retail" elements in the GP, it would have been much less successful than it was given their actual promotion of it as a marketplace.
Sure, but plenty of those jobs still around. In fact they've been struggling with the rest of the market in filling positions. AmEx travel is constantly recruiting.
I really like that this allows people to finally break free from the box design and try something new. Of course there will be challenges like accessibility along the way but those can be solved.

I just happened to launch a similar product today on product hunt (https://moos.app) that also allows people to build pages from SVG files but I take a more hybrid approach and focus more on animation (and the render actually uses WEBGL for performance reasons).

Will we still have the same boxy design in 5 years or will we have a completely new experience?
Yediot is literally a tabloid. It is published in tabloid format. That's all that's meant. Every Israeli paper except for Haaretz is in tablet format rather than broadsheet, so the American assumption that "tabloid = trash and fake news" while "broadsheet = real journalism" doesn't port over at all.

So the processing fees (called interchange) are capped at a $0.21+0.05% low rate for most banks, but very small banks and credit unions are exempt from this cap, and charge ~2% similar to credit cards. Fintechs always partner with a small bank to issue their cards and split the revenue.

So the thing is, most of their customers are going to be connecting a debit card from a large bank (they don't allow credit cards as a funding source). A few will come from a Durbin-exempt institution like a small credit union or a community bank (including one issued by another fintech/bank partnership such as Chime). But on the whole, they will mostly be paying the low interchange and charging the high interchange.

Since the new cards are considered credit cards, not debit cards, they won't have to worry about Durbin amendment at all.
The manufactured outrage over the California math recommendations keep getting posted on HN. Read the actual text of the plans here [1]. The FAQ is at [2] and directly responds to these characterizations. They are not banning gifted & talented programs or advanced students taking accelerated courses. They are not taking algebra out of the curriculum, although they are cutting geometry a bit, which doesn't make as much sense today as it did 100 years ago when far more people grew up to be farmers or ranchers. They are adding more statistics and probability, which I think are crucial in today's society.

What they are fundamentally doing is breaking up the classic U.S. staged path where you learn algebra for a year, then geometry for a year, then back to algebra / pre-calc for a year, then maybe take statistics or calculus as an elective, etc. Instead, all branches of math will be taught in an integrated approach focused around applied problems.

This is how a lot of European math courses are taught. In fact, I think HN would appreciate the shift from focusing on pure numbers and classic formulas to more applied uses of math, including algorithms, probability, data collected and analyzed in charts, etc. Students also forget a lot of algebra when they do a year of geometry by itself, then have to go back to algebra / pre-calc.

It also does mean that in the transition, it will be harder for students to "test out" of the classic algebra I/II, geometry, pre-calc sequence, because it will just be "year X integrated math." But the framework does not forbid gifted and talented programs or anything like that. There will just be a few awkward years while the curriculum shifts.

Now, there are some on the left who advocated for the elimination of gifted and talented programs altogether, for equity reasons. They did not get what they wanted in the new California framework. That hasn't stopped a lot of people from looking at what California is doing and imagining it is actually some kind of Harrison Bergeron dystopia, when that is absolutely not the case.

Have you watched the entire testimony? On cross, he contradicts almost everything he said on direct questioning.

2:11:20 -- Grosskreutz denies he was chasing Rittenhouse.

2:23:30 -- he establishes that when he saw Rittenhouse, he was just helping people

2:27:00 -- he says he believed there was an active shooter, but had no information about who it was and apparently had no way to say why he believed this to be the case.

On the video Grosskreutz was taking with his camera, it is shown that Rittenhouse says that he is going to the police. Grosskreutz claims he though Rittenhouse said "he shot first" even though they sound absolutely nothing alike.

2:30:00 -- he says he was NOT chasing Rittenhouse. Instead, he just happened to be coincidentally pulling his gun while he happened running in the same direction. At the same time, he says he was running that direction because Rittenhouse was. Make of this inconsistency what you will.

2:31:00 -- he sees people mobbing Rittenhouse

2:32:00 -- he says he was concerned about Rittenhouse's safety. This DIRECTLY argues against the idea he believed Rittenhouse was an active shooter.

2:35:00 -- he believed Rittenhouse was in physical danger (even though he just denied seeing jump kick man kick Rittenhouse)

2:36:00 -- he says Huber was slinging his skateboard by the trucks (note: a skateboard is 11 pounds while a baseball bat is only 2 pounds). He says that as a medic, this concerned him. He says he believed Rittenhouse was in danger of head trauma and being seriously hurt. He even claimed in his police report that he told Huber to stop hitting Rittenhouse (though he says in hindsight this was untrue). Once again, there is no reason for concern if he believed Rittenhouse was a dangerous active shooter.

2:37:30 -- he claimed to the police that Rittenhouse just shot him. He completely left out that he had a gun and was advancing and that no shots were fired when he put his hands up.

2:38:30 -- he claims the anesthesia somehow made him forget about the gun while still allowing him to remember everything else with perfect clarity.

2:44:00 -- delving into prosecutorial misconduct where the prosecutors suddenly decided to tell the detectives not to execute a search warrant (they don't want Brady evidence is my read given all the other misconduct allegations).

2:48:00 -- he testifies that EVERYONE who put up their hands and backed off -- even the guy with a club -- do NOT get shot. Once again, this is not what an active shooter does.

2:51:30 -- the point where the prosecution lost case. He contradicts his testimony to the prosecutor in the face of an image of his bicep being vaporized (his word) while his gun is pointed directly at Rittenhouse's head.

Costco is not traditional retail. If you compare Amazon's margins to Costco it will look bad, if you compare it to a cosmetics store, it will probably look good. The (now old fashioned) rule of thumb was 50% margins, but as GP pointed out margins are lower now. 34% is within the ballpark of a brick-and-mortar store.
