It depends on your goal, and how you define your target readers.

I assume your goal would be to post an article you wrote here and achieve some level of engagement (as you noted dev.to is blocked).

So, if you are planning to post on HN, the problem I assume you are trying to solve is finding an online url that carries some credibility in order to not turn off potential engagement.

Looking at https://hntrending.com/ and clicking “domains”, filtering to last week, I was surprised to see that 90% of the domains were well-known (GitHub, twitter, WhatsApp.com). Scrolling to less popular domains, we start to see some substack links and then I saw “interestingengineering.com”

Maybe I’m just a sucker for a good domain, but I would probably click a link to Christine.website or Christine.IO instead of christine.blogger.com.

Also, if a link isn’t to Bloomberg.com or nasa.gov, I’m going to assume the article is from someone’s personal, less journalistic-oriented position. So, an interesting domain like buildruntest.site or improving.code adds to my perception that I may hear an interesting perspective that isn’t covered in the news.

I recently switched companies, and having an interesting domain with some content on it was helpful to show employers. When I was hired at Apple, my manager noted he had glanced at my twitter feed and seemed to believe I was clued into the space I was hired for.

I assume you aren’t seeking monetization. The amount of work and advertising required to reach traffic needed for that level can be pretty massive (differing by topic, of course).

A lot has been said about writing as a way to self-reflect and also improve internal thought. So, if your goal is self-reflection or practicing the craft of writing, the “where” doesn’t matter as much.

One last thing: I was surprised at getting SOME engagement on a youtube video I posted about a server issue I figured out (HP DL360). I rarely ever post on youtube and haven’t blogged frequently in years…but I regularly get 100+ views each month. So, with all the talk about algorithms rarely helping small-fry content creators…perhaps my anecdote can encourage you that someone, somewhere may find value from what you post.

Let us know what you decide!
I'd rather have a service that is down one day per year, rather than death by thousand papercuts of a slow UI every day.

Imagine some frustratingly slow app like Jira for example, i would be much happier with a snappy UI there, where one could theoretically still work for a downtime of week or more without updating your task status.

If we are talking about shaving the last milliseconds, it could be something very interactive like autocompletion. Which is something with a graceful fallback of typing in the whole thing manually.

The problem with this is this is that it assumes the programming language is the last world in the developer experience.

I am certainly a language person, and you cannot get anywhere with a bad language, but merely having a good language is not enough.

Working on github.com/obsidiansystems/obelisk/ we have very very many things we would like to work on, but not super much of it involves "adding new features" to Haskell. And yet the libraries are so richly layered e.g. the frontend feels more different from regular effectful code in Haskell, than regular effectful code in Haskell feels different from that in other languages.

The one feature we would like in Haskell is arguably a "removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary" thing, which is something like https://github.com/conal/concat and https://arxiv.org/abs/1007.2885. This would be a way to make some categorical DSL stuff less annoying to write because you have to make it point-free.
Leaving the most pictoresque one in operation as a tourist magnet (not for daily commute) would definitely work, though. It works in many European countries, especially where the landscape is beautiful, and the Levant has no shortage of stunning landscapes.
People are genuinely evil. And will do worst possible things, if they don't see enough consequences.

This extends not just to violence, but actively doing things to harm other people or people's interest.

And when dealing with people one must be always be suspicious, and expect the absolute worst from them. This I say not just for friends and colleagues, but even the closest family relationships.

Goodness however is rare, and when it happens must appreciated and celebrated. Given the rarity.

> My reasoning is internally and externally consistent.

I don’t think you should be so confident that everyone else sees it this way.
If you tell me you work in a dev role of some description, I assume you at least like programming somewhat.

If you then tell me you write Java or C#, that gives me very little additional information. They’re super mainstream languages used by whole armies of “drones” who have no particular passion for the craft, but there’s also some truly passionate people out there, and I don’t know which bucket you fall into.

If you tell me you write D, or Lisp, or Haskell, that’s different. You don’t end up writing any of those by accident, so you either sought them out deliberately or you saw an oddball language and weren’t scared off. That’s definitely strong signal for “actually likes programming”.
DSLRs have been replaced with mirrorless cameras, some of which are full frame and no less capable.
> By that logic the only cause of death in GA is "plane hit the ground."

Here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29731719 it seems like you are essentially saying "engine failure is not too dangerous; one of the leading causes of death is running out of fuel".

I did not say running out of fuel should be formally classified as an engine failure. It was more that I supposed that the effect on the airworthiness of their airplane should be approximately the same whether the engine stops due to failure or running out of fuel. So that makes your comment appear contradictory. Hence my prompting for an explanation, I'm quite willing to believe I misunderstood something of your post or about aviation so I didn't intend for it to sound glib.

I think the issue might be the huge amount of VC cash invested, and the need for such a player to have explosive growth to a huge valuation.

Open standards of federated systems could lead to slow sustainable growth with a spot for the original designers and pushers of the protocol. But open standards won't let you fully dominate the market, they don't allow you to leverage all the VC cash, and so they don't pay back on massive investment. Because quite a lot of the benefits are shared.

Moreover, slow growth can't compete with VC cash investment. The VC backed competition will have a better UX, more features, aggressive marketing, and in general be more developed. All because they can develop their product a lot faster because they have more money behind them.

This is entirely a false premise. Market power accrues to the popular, no matter how structured.

An update to the previous comment. It is true that typing `nohup emacs &` directly into the shell does not help, i.e., Emacs dies when the shell dies. Example:

$ cat /etc/debian_version
10.0

$ $SHELL --version | head -n 1
GNU bash, version 5.0.3(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

$ nohup emacs &

$ ps -ef | grep emacs | grep -v grep
susam 22210 22046 2 13:59 pts/0 00:00:00 emacs

$ ps -ef | grep 22046 | grep -v grep
susam 22046 22042 0 13:45 pts/0 00:00:00 bash
susam 22210 22046 0 13:59 pts/0 00:00:00 emacs
susam 22224 22046 0 14:00 pts/0 00:00:00 ps -ef

The parent of the emacs process is still bash, so when bash dies, Emacs dies too.

However, invoking `nohup emacs &` from another shell script does work. The PPID of Emacs gets assigned to 1 and Emacs continues to keep running even after killing the shell. Example:

$ bash -c 'nohup emacs &'

$ ps -ef | grep emacs | grep -v grep
susam 22229 1 2 14:02 pts/0 00:00:00 emacs

$ dash -c 'nohup emacs &'

$ ps -ef | grep emacs | grep -v grep
susam 22229 1 0 14:02 pts/0 00:00:00 emacs
susam 22238 1 2 14:03 pts/0 00:00:00 emacs

$ ps -ef | head -n 2
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
root 1 0 0 Dec29 ? 00:00:01 /sbin/init

In the second experiment, the parent of the emacs process is the init process, to it continues to run successfully even after the shell or terminal exits.

To summarize, yes, we can use nohup in the startup script and make it POSIX compliant.

> Largely agree with this. The big promise of defi was to “bank the unbanked”

The un-banked aren't un-banked because there are no banks, or even because banks are inaccessible. They are un-banked because they do not have money. This is a social problem characterized by folks falling through the cracks. It's a lack of social safety net, a lack of unionization, a lack of inflation-adjusted minimum wage, a lack of healthcare. Broadly, a lack of of social programs.

I've never met a single person who had money but couldn't get a bank account* - have you? What good is a bank account to someone with no money anyways? What are they going to put into it? Just opening a bank account doesn't make you magically any less poor. You can grab one at ally.com free of charge right now with no minimum deposit. They'll even pay interest on your checking accounts which of course stablecoins will not unless you put them at massive risk.

Not to mention for the poor, a massively volatile speculative asset with astronomical fees is literally the worst thing they could put all their money into.

Did anybody here ever use the ISDN data ports in payphones in Japan? I remember seeing them here and there in 1998 (IIRC). At the time I wondered about popping over to one and getting on the web just to see how it would work. ISDN was serious biz to my mind at that time, compared to rural USA dialup.
The submission is a tweet which doesn't really have a title, so the submitter was forced to make up one. Unfortunately the assertion in the chosen title is not correct. In Python the mod operator returns a number with the same sign as the second argument:

Define “functioning”. An engine with one bad cylinder may still get a plane off the ground. An engine that explodes backwards at the right time might momentarily achieve flight also.

For LEO missions, the source is now typically a GNSS receiver outputting a PPS line. Otherwise, you try to have a precise clock (TCXO, OCXO, and now CSAC are available) as a reference distributing the time to all the subsystems, and you correct the satellite time offset from the ground (similar to NTP).

I feel like the author is maybe making subtler points than I'm able to understand, or something. At one place they're arguing against inversion on control and somewhere else they're praising Phoenix' Plugs, which are basically callbacks that take and return a connection.

They say at the end that some of these requirements might be conflicting, but then what's there to learn from the article? Everyone can list their pet-peeves with most languages/frameworks they've ever touched.
The whole point here is not to mindlessly replace words but to be able to find words that more accurately describe what you are trying to convey. The expanded definitions and examples are great starting points for digging deeper into both the language and the underlying motivation.

> Yeah... I played a few rounds and after getting my butt kicked incredibly fast, (side note: I love Tetris and am the household champion in comp. games), I thought there was something fishy going on.

Being good in your household means basically nothing for an online game, especially one like Tetris. Games like this, the skill ceiling is insanely high, if you haven't seen high level play before then you're probably drastically underestimating what humans are capable of.

Other competitive game genres are like this too. Compared to 'good in my family' players for FPS games, top tier pros will basically look like they're running an aimbot. I'm big into Starcraft and the pros for that game look similarly insane when you watch from their perspective, with how fast they are at context switching.
Beautiful! Look forward to giving it a spin when i can.
If I understand you correctly, you'd apply the fact-checking to very obvious issues ("The president is a reptile", "X has said Y", though I guess that gets fuzzy quickly unless you're limiting yourself to quote-checking), but not "mostly opinion based" things? Would the case of this article fall in the "needs fact-checking" basket or the "mostly opinion based"?

I agree about society being less split at some point. My pet theory is 1) lack of leisure time to find out, b) needing more cooperation to make things work, enforcing more homogeneity c) no social media/forums to question the official view at scale.
It's less the specifics of the article itself (which, as the author himself notes, not everyone agrees with), and more the fact that he took it upon himself to write an article like this to begin with.

It's tone-deaf in the sense that this type of activism is unbelievably unpopular amongst Autistics, self-aggrandising in the sense that he has declared himself a representative for the (loosely defined) Autistic community without actually earning the respect, and unproductive in the sense that he's making communication between Autistics and neurotypicals harder, not easier, which limits opportunities for the culture to actually develop and become accepted more broadly.

I don't agree with defi but this is absolutely a problem in a lot of rural america. People with money, who get paid, but without a bank so they have to take their checks to gas stations who take huge fees.

Why can't they open an online checking account like Ally which will allow them to deposit a photo of their check free of charge? My understanding is a lot of low-income folks have smartphones as desktop replacements. Is this not a strictly better solution than anything in crypto?

I'm also open to postal banking as a solution to this problem, but I'm not really clear on where the system is actually currently failing folks who have money. Are they banned by ChexSystems or something?

I get it, "Bank the Unbanked!" is a compelling narrative, but folks seem not to be asking the relevant questions: (1) who are the unbanked exactly and (2) why aren't they banked - specifically - when there's a ton of banks out there, a bunch of which charge nothing.
In this case, you'd want the sending client to do some POW. Verified either by the sending server (to prevent it being blacklisted) or by the recipient (as a much wider anti-spam system).

I still would expect this breaks down from ASICS and generally the price not being high enough.
As a decently active player in the community, it's actually really hard to make a convincing bot. there's a lot of subtle tells (timing, handling, types of setups, response to pressure) that make bots really obvious to an experienced eye.

More importantly, there's just a lot of people who are really good at Tetris. Once someone practices enough, they naturally become faster because of muscle memory, up to levels that seem superhuman to beginners[1].

In short, it's far more likely that the people you played are just players who have practiced a good amount, rather than bots that have somehow remained undetected.

Memcpying and executing code could also surface micro-architectural realities of the underlying CPU and memory subsystem micro-architecture that may need attention from the programmer.

For example:

- On most RISCy Arm CPUs with Harvard style split instruction and data caches special architecture specific actions would need to be taken to ensure that after the memcpy any code still lingering in the data cache was cleaned/pushed out to the intended destination memory immediately (instead of at the next cache line eviction).

- Any stale code that happened to be cached from the destination (either by design or coincidence) needs to be invalidated in the instruction cache.

- Depending on the CPU micro architecture, programmer unknown speculative prefetching into caches as a result of the previous two actions may also need attention.
