The problem is that the "most natural sized number for the platform" was 32-bits for so long on major platforms, that now everyone assumes that changing that will break too much for it to be worth switching
The really useful 'print' debug lines might be kept at additional 'debug' flag levels. This is particularly useful for tracing the behavior of programs that no longer have debug symbols and are running in real environments.
It was criticized quite heavily on the relevant hn thread.

But basically, go can get away with a less advanced GC due to having and relying on value types quite often. But Java and certain workloads do require the state-of-the-art GCs that the JVM provides. And a search engine likely constitutes such a one.
News reports about Avena Horton conveniently neglect to mention that she works for an AVM (automated valuation modeling) company that sells products that replace human appraisers.

> Abena Horton’s employer Black Knight Inc. Who is her employer? Black Knight, Inc., formerly known as Black Knight Financial Services, is an American corporation that provides integrated technology, services, data, and analytics to the mortgage and real estate industries. Black Knight is one of the leaders in AVMs (Automated Valuation Models), which uses algorithms, much like Zillow and others, to estimate a home’s value based on public record data

My guess is that only the paste is broken, not the copy.

If the box you were pasting into supported annotations then it would paste perfectly. Pasting into a plain text text-area field leaves the browser with a hard choice to make on how to interpret the data in the clipboard when transliterating it into plain text.
Radio waves down a wire are by definition AC. Otherwise they don't work. The voltage must change, thus the current must change, thus it is AC. Just because it's not 50/60Hz AC like a powerline doesn't change that.

There might be a DC component, but ultimately all the ADSL modem cares about is the AC part.
Most longevity biotech companies are following a completely wrong course. At best they might develop some compounds which provide marginal lifespan gains for a subset of people along with negative side effects.

The most effective way to actually increase longevity is by delaying the onset of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, sarcopenia, and arteriosclerosis. If you look at people who actually live past 100 they don't live any longer than others once they have chronic disease. Instead they experience disease onset later in life.

And we actually already know how to delay most chronic diseases fairly well. However the interventions aren't consistently applied and patient compliance is often poor.

My brother and I used to build space fighters with a pilot inside who could see outside, with the goal of being able to throw them at the wall as hard as possible without them coming apart - our parents were not fans lol. It's perfectly doable if you build around the pilot using nothing but flat grey bricks, wings and horizontal boosters, and ensure almost every piece is reinforced by multiple overlapping pieces above and below.
The party lines I’m talking about are shared loops between a group of residents in a rural area.

Some of the first-hand accounts I’ve read talked about neighbours listening in on conversations. People could tell a snooper was on the line because the volume of the other caller would drop. There was a social aspect to the whole enterprise because you could tell the one nosy neighbour to get off the line and the volume would magically raise.

You can check the previous incidents and see which services go down together? Just an idea.
Except now you can't update the contents of a page not even one tiny bit without also changing its URL, which is equally useless.

While I concede that the ability to retrieve the previous version of a page by visiting the old URL (provided anybody actually still has that old content) might come in handy sometimes, I posit that in the majority of cases people will want to visit the current version of a page by default. Even more so, I as the author of my homepage will want the internal page navigation to always point to the latest version of each page, too.

So then you need an additional translation layer for transforming an "always give me the latest version of this resource"-style link into an "this particular version of this resource" IPFS link (I gather IPNS is supposed to fill that role?), which will then suffer from the same problem as URLs do today.

> It would be absolutely shocking if a non-UB-based compiler were able to come anywhere close to modern C compilers on either real-world programs or toy benchmarks, because almost every avenue of optimization would be closed to them.

Modern C# has next to no undefined behavior, you can disregard the managed features and write low level code with it, and it JIT-compiles nearly as efficiently as C.

Unity has an LLVM-based compiler for a subset of C# that emits extremely clean native assembly.

These days there's no real reason for languages to be as ugly as C.

Not sure why this comment was dead but I vouched to resurrect it since atkailash has the right answer here. Whether a group (family, band, or entire corporation) is treated as singular or plural differs between US and UK English.

By the time it comes naturally, around 80 y/o 90 tops it would be a relief...you'd be so tired after a lifetime of fighting and you'd be such a second class citizen and excluded from all the fun and the social relevance that you'd be looking forward to checking out.

People who worry about death due to old age in their future are always the type who live in such luxury or are at their apex , having exhausted all other worries (and also wrongly project that they'll be in that frame of mind 50 or 60 years down the road).

I have no interest in just existing, I want to thrive. Considering that pragmatically speaking it's not possible to thrive at 90, I have no interest in watching other people thrive, so checking out seems like a natural way of solving the issue.

Charging PhD students tuition after they are finished taking classes (which typically accounts for the majority of their years) is racket that allows the university to double dip into research grants. The first dip comes from 50% "overhead" they skim off every grant.

Further, in my experience, few professors actually do any research nor write papers. The vast majority of this work is done by PhD students and to a lesser extent post docs. Thus, PhD students are the linchpin that holds the entire "do research to publish papers to write grants to do more research" cycle together. If all PhD went on strike, the research output of a university would dry to a trickle, which would make obtaining further grants difficult to impossible, thereby depriving the university of that luscious 50% overhead.

Said another way, PhD student are net value producers for the university. Forcing PhD students to enroll in "thesis hours" that cost 45k per year is simply a cleverly worded scam to pilfer even more off the grants.

I see no reason to doubt her story. When someone says "something bad happened to me" then "I don't think it did, prove it" is quite rude in my opinion.

On the other hand, I also see no direct connection to Google. The victim also said in the comment chain:

> also to be clear I have been on Google support and Pixel support dozens of time all week BEFORE the hack happened, asking them to investigate why my phone marked delivered by FedEx 'disappeared' at the warehouse. At any time someone could have offered me any security advice?!

This could just as easily be a delivery driver or warehouse worker stealing the phone and putting fake info on the website. I don't think Google's workers would be dumb enough to do this to their customers' phones, my suspicion is that it went wrong somewhere in the supply chain.

Either way, Google is responsible for their warranty and return policy. If the delivery driver stole her phone or if someone broke into the delivery warehouse, that's on Google picking bad logistics partners. If the repair company Google partners with is doing this, the problem is with Google. If someone over at Google itself is doing this than that's an even bigger problem.

Either way, I hope the victim can get the help she needs and that Google finds the problem and prevents it from happening to anyone else. Not that I have high hopes for Google's support team taking this seriously…

The parent of your comment is not confused about the difference between people who are Black and the color black. They are referring to the inconsistency in the media wherein stories that discuss race will typically have uppercase "B" in "Black", yet lowercase "w" in "white", where they both refer to a specific group of people. One could argue that, for the sake of consistency, they should both be capitalized or not, yet it is indeed unusual to see capitalized "White" in the media, as in, "The White community" or "A White teenager". It is more common to see "The white community" or "A white teenager". However, it's perfectly normal to see "The Black community" or "A Black teenager". And that's aside from how often each group is mentioned in the media.
Trying to explain Zen by starting with "basically" is a bit ambitious of your part haha :)

there are more real estate agents than there are houses for sale [0].

The average house price is $374,900 [1].

The most common real estate agent commission is 6%.

6% of $374,900 is $22,494.

That is how much income a real estate agent can make on average if they buy and sell one home. Of course they have expenses, so it's not all profit.

Real estate agents have to network and advertise to get the higher value houses, and those are going to skew the average, so most real estate agents make less income than that on average.

This may be some of the cultural divide that's flummoxing this conversation. In the US, many if not most of us have lost faith that this process is even remotely reliable. We have studies that back this up - policy decisions are made in favor of the wealthy very reliably, but for the rest of us, it's luck of the draw when we get what we want.

The Rise and Fall of American Growth’ by Robert J. Gordon, an entire book of empirical data on the slowdown of both technological progress and economic growth (in the United States in particular, but applies in much of the developed world).

The parent never said "criminal" charges against Google.

Thats not just bad service. If the third party is an official agent of Google, then Google can be liable (monetary penalties). Now, proving that in practice is a question for the civil courts.

Spending years of your life rearing a child is your decision and obligation as a parent. It’s not fair to put that on children to care for their parents, particularly when they’re stubborn and when childhood trauma is involved. We didn’t all grow up in good environments.
You may as well tell us that you've decided to take up flying by flapping your arms.

How is having and deciding to live by a set of personal principals, even if there isn’t an outcome on “market forces” in any remote way comparable to believing you’re a bird?
The mainstream media's job is to create and reinforce narratives. There are millions of newsworthy things going on in the world and only those things that help prove certain narratives are reported. Same goes for the interviews with "random" people on the street. They interview a lot of people, but only if the answer matches the narrative they are trying to push is it aired.
That’s still offical google as far as I’m concerned. It’s under the control of google. The customer went through google.

Ask HN: How do you measure your own personal progress?
Not asking for any specific tool, unless you've found a really good one. I usually measure progress for what I've done project/startup wise through startupschool.org that holds me accountable to those shared on it and daily check-ins with myself that I revisit weekly seeing what I did week over week. Wanted to see how you see yourself progress over time. Its awesome to see "snapshots" of your thought process in the past.
summary of the OA: note taking is helpful

reaction: agreed. best practice and known as such for a long time

I write notes in a plain text file for every project I work on. As I start to see things accumulate around a particular tool, technology or service (or any other common or cross-cutting concern), I eventually carve those note portions out of my per-project notes, clean them up and merge them into a notes file dedicated to that thing.

I also look for portions of my notes worth extracting and transforming into executable scripts, complete with variables or templates where makes sense.

Plain text notes are also easy to search, version and replicate around. Can upgrade some to Markdown or another structured text format where yields net value. Rinse and repeat.

These habits yield increasing ROIs over one's life and career.
