I started working on a project called Taaalk (taaalk.co). It's a website where people have have text based conversations that others can follow. It was down for the last eight months but it's live now. No content on it yet as I need to get the database back from a dump, but looking for someone to work on it with me. It's written in Rails
When I see someone that gained 35K followers in a year, I feel skeptical. How?

I’ve seen numbers even on viral tweets, and the number of followers gained is really low.

So there has to be more to to getting followers than just writing good content.
Aren't you reinventing ActivityPub?
In my experience, Rust's multiple named functions is usually (not always) more clear than multiple function overloads, and practically always better than constructor overloads (you'll never convince me that std::vector's constructors are sane). However (IIRC) I wish it was possible in Rust to abstract over arity, in the case of function forwarding and tuple overloading.
You are wrong. You do not need to acquire consent, either, when it is implicitly granted because the service is the same system as the IdP. I.e., consent is requested/granted when they sign up with your IdP.
I won't comment on the rest of the blog post, but I can fully relate to this point:

> Despite using golang, working with the absolute impenetrable monster that is kubernetes, taking on a helpdesk like on-call experience for one week at a time tending to configuration files over code, and not touching C++ at all, I feel more rewarded in my work than I ever did writing any amount of C++ in my entire life.

I actually experienced the same in the last couple of years. Doing ops work, and sometimes really tiny code changes which still help to improve a product and get recognized by people can feel really rewarding. Standardization work or any kind programming language / library development sometimes not that much (and that is independent of C++).

I think the reason for this is that in ops/support/etc environment one is working towards a known goal, which is well understood by people (peers, customers). If the goal has been reached everyone is happy, and one will likely get positive feedback. And even on the road towards the goal people will understand why it's important to get something done and help to get to the goal. E.g. code changes might not have to be perfect in order to get merged, and there might not be an extreme amount of bikeshedding.

Working on fundamentals can be different: In a setting like a standard library working group often a variety of people come together which do not share the same goal, and where goals are also not necessarily "customer driven". Instead of that, people more often have their personal goals they want to achieve, and they have their own set of motivations for it. This makes it harder to get buy-in from others. Goals are also not that quantifieable (like "fix a crash" or "improve latency by 10ms"), which makes it additionally harder to argument why something is important or less important.
Nobody really did. China does not have any kind of coherent regional policy, or, well, any kind of real economic policy.

The infamed communist 5 years plans barely mean anything for the real economy.

South China got ahead in manufacturing due to market economy reaching it first.

Shanghai got banks because Jiang Zemin lived there, and he wanted money like every proper communist.

Chongqing seen its development as the only inland China big city, and lack of any other alternative.

Beijing is now late to the party, and bureaucrats there basically ordered it to become another "center" through administrative fiat.
> That version yes, absolutely.

But in your alternate timeline the issue would only have been hit in 2043, and since in our timeline it was not noticed before it was hit, there is no reason to believe it would have been noticed in the alternate.

So the exact same issue would have occurred, a few years later.

I fail to see why that would be an improvement.

> Even more likely, we'll have new protocols the current version doesn't support, so the bug will have been long fixed or noticed.

That is a completely unsubstantiated assertion.
Right, because GPU's are expensive and scarce because of crypto, and all other inflation, demand and supply chain issues are a completely unrelated topic that just happens to be coinciding... /s

Yes, if you compare their functionality, performance and on a bunch of other attributes sure. But I'm not doing that, I'm comparing them on the attribute of "new programming language", which all of them have been at one point or another.

It might just have been that Vimscript didn't go the way it was intended to, or people moved towards different paradigms to doing modal editing in a sane(r) way, but maybe in some alternative universe, Vimscript became a popular scripting tool.
If you look at it more abstractly and ask if high demand and limited supply are driving up prices, it sounds like a dumb question.

Thanks! I'll update the article to say this.

Hopefully dang sees this. After a certain amount of time, the title of submissions cannot be changed (I didn't make the most recent changes.)

They can probably pay higher prices when mining rewards are high.
I don't think that is true. If you look at how larger residential areas looked in the States historically, you'll these placese were very livable, since there weee no cars.
The main issue in the US is that at some point the jobs of city and regional planners were hijacked by car industry lobbyists. The current state of affairs is what followed.
I also like this channel which has a series called "conlang critic" where the creator describes various conlangs and ranks them.

No, this is clearly not enough to get shit accepted into the C++ standard. As evident by the fact that none of OP's ideas made it into the standard. Why should any of that matter?

I'm sure OP is not alone here, by the way. I submit there must be thousands of amazing ideas proposed by amazing people that don't end up being accepted into the standard for a myriad of reasons. Get over it.
Xiaomi's business model is to sell good hardware with very little margin, and hopefully make a lot money on services (i.e. cloud, ad).

I log into LinkedIn a few times a week. The posts are a parade of fakery and insincerity. Compared to that, HN has much better discourse, because the focus is on your ideas, not on you personally. There is no careerist agenda at work on HN. I have not gotten the impression that HN is an existential crisis echo chamber (it's an echo chamber in many ways for sure).

Maybe you are clicking on posts that are of the existential crisis echo chamber kind. Or perhaps wading into debates in the comment section that heighten that feeling.

You could see if desisting from commenting (or even reading comments except on purely technical topics) and reading non-technical stories helps improve your experience here. It's really what you make of it, not just what the site provides.
> Except that I already agreed with the article before you commented [0], so it isn't Whataboutism.

Apologies but I really had a tough time parsing the last sentence in your initial comment for some reason. I see now that you agreed with the article. I'll concede that you were not technically using that strategy in its purest form. You were, however, deflecting to another issue.

> How can a regulated stablecoin like USDP or USDC, or even CBDCs sitting on a cryptocurrency technology like XRPL or the Stellar Network etc. be 'highly speculative'?

I said "cryptocurrencies" to refer to cryptocurrency broadly (so not just stablecoins). I had hoped that was obvious, apologies.

Machine learning has offered tangible benefits for natural language processing (GPT), semantic search (CLIP/faiss indices), digital art (GLIDE/DALL-E) and protein folding (AlphaFold).

Cryptocurrencies certainly promise to solve a lot of very severe issues in the world such as banking for the unbanked but it's less obvious when it accomplishes these goals. Could you list some tangible benefits that have been accomplished already in the crypto scene?
It still doesn’t help that the Ethereum hashrate limiter is not imposed on the highest-end card (it’s FHR not LHR). The 3090 (aka 30-series Titan cards) are still really hard to find. The the 24GB of double-sided GDDR6x gets super hot though and all implementations of the card did not take that into account.

The 3080ti’s are easier to find as they’re LHR and price per hashrate ratio isn’t good. What I mean by easier is that bots have a tendency of going after cards with price/ratio.

It doesn’t help either that DDR5 RAM is also highly scalped. PC memory is in direct competition to GPU memory and vice versa.
a simple tuple of appropriately-sized integer types would only need 8 bytes, which coincidentally is what MS will need come 2043.

That does mean rolling your own "greater-than-or-equal" operation though.
There's probably a bunch of overlap and fuzziness around the terms, but to me a spell is more "mechanical" in "you do/say X -> Y happens", vs a prayer is more "asking a higher being for some kind of support" (which it might grant or not). And in context of Abrahamic religions it's biased in that spells are "magic" and "bad" and thus what "the others" do that don't have the right religion.
My problem with it is not the content, it's the totalizing, evangelical approach. In tone it's about a half-step from the goggle-eyed people who want to talk about "international bankers" and how they control everything. I have never had a good conversation with anybody who starts out like that, because they are in the grip of a strongly self-reinforcing worldview.
When I go to France or England or India (city centers and countryside) people may not Love each-other but they seem to generally be ok with being together and cooperating a bit more. In America it’s a whole new level. Except for a few idyllic small towns and suburbs that are actually economically and racially exclusionary that seem to have a faux-community.
I'm surprised that GCP is claimed to have less than the third of Azure's market share. And AWS is still comfortably in first place.

It is amazing how much the first-mover advantage helped AWS. I signed up for AWS in 2009 after trying GoGrid and Rackspace Cloud and just never looked at any others later on. Just this week I tried GCP and I like it much better. And Azure has a nicer geographical footprint.
> sometimes I think of changing jobs just to see more of the world and gather experiences to be able to have more intellectually stimulating conversations. Learn about VC? Hear about more companies?

Not to write off an entire profession, but I doubt venture capitalists can hold a candle to journalists when it comes to interesting experiences or conversations. I had far more interesting stories to tell when I worked in retail than when I worked in tech. Perhaps status is getting conflated with "having good conversations at parties" a little bit here.

“French sociologists over the years have attributed the burnings to things like urban violence, insecurity caused by the financial crisis, and government policy that overlooks relatively poor and marginalized immigrant communities.”

Citizens will oppose immigration when immigrants and their offspring disproportionately cause such destruction.

For the small uncovered diode laser cutters, I'd recommend setting it up & running it remotely. If you use a laptop with a webcam & some remote desktop software, you can operate one safely it from a different room.

There are many covered desktop ones that I think are a bit safer though. Ventilation is also a big concern.
You can spread Covid to an entire roomful of people just by sitting in it. The two things aren’t even remotely comparable. To suggest otherwise is to repeat the homophobic prejudices of the original HIV pandemic.
For some definition of failure. Ever read a really old book - something from the 1800s? Ever listen to your old family stories? There are many variations of "Larry, he never leaves the farm". We have no idea what might be wrong with Larry, but it is clear there must have been a lot of people who failed to fit into society. We also know that are variations, in some cases Larry would leave the farm but only for specific and controlled situations because that is all he could handle.

Obvious she is getting out, but it is highly likely with some help she could function a lot better.

Your comment comes from a place of assuming the answer to the question, which is kind of twofold.

Does the profit from proof-of-work mining increase the acceptable GPU price for miners AND is there enough demand from these miners for GPUs due to the profit equation to significantly inflate those prices?

If you assume yes, you get yes as the answer without proving anything.

The version is not structured as a number, it's structured as a string of digits that incidentally resembles a number. There are no operations that take two version numbers and return a new version number, so they are not numbers.
Especially for committee work, it's quite clear once you go there that what matters is being sponsored to attend regularly and build up relationships so that you can get experienced people on your side.

People on the committee are not sufficiently good to just accept a proposition based on technical merit alone. The whole thing needs to be made accessible and easy to digest, and preferably integrate well in what others want to do.

It's political work, which is tedious and frustrating. Some people are good at this (especially if they can figure out a way to integrate that into their career), but for most people, it's just a waste of time and effort.
This is what is great about AOC there are so many ways to do it. I’m pretty sure I just did the standard DP solution with 2 passes, once down and right and then up and left which would be O(n) in number of nodes or O(n^2) in grid dimension.
Funny anecdotes: it’s relatively rare to see company led by “old fart Beijingers” who have been native to the city for 2-3 generations. Immigrants have been driving the leadership there. Native Beijingers tends to be more layback and they thrive in cultural related stuff like xiangsheng, comedy and movies.

It was built-in and called automatically, but since version 4.0 if I remember correctly linking was indeed a separate step. Units were each compiled into TPUs (or, later, DCUs) and then linked together, possibly with external OBJs.
Most people are implantation people, not academics, so that’s what you’ll usually meet. Speaking from the point of view of implementation, it’s hard to engage with academics who want to discuss objectively impossible flights of fancy. But it can be really neat to find the intersection of academic interests that are borderline implementable.

Some would call it narrow mindedness, some would call it focus.

I wore a dosimeter in my 20's on a nuclear submarine and received some radiation exposure working on the reactor, but the Navy explained to me that it was balanced out because I was underwater and not receiving radiation exposure from the sun. 40 years later, and still cancer free, knock on wood.

In a related note, I know someone who keeps bees and harvests honey. I recently visited the spot way out in the mountains where he does this and I asked why he chose a spot so far out. He explained that to get the organic label, the honey must contain no pesticides and if you keep bees around the property of other people they will ingest pesticides from flowers on those property, since pesticides are so commonly used.
That part actually scares me. Many anti-cheat softwares on Windows are basically rootkits. I don't want shit on my Linux machine.
The GPU pricing and availability has been a problem well before the current environment. Well before COVID even.
I moved to SF specifically to avoid having a car. Everything about owning a car pisses me off. Insurance and registration are a racket. Parking is either expensive or miserable. Traffic and seeing how other people behave makes me hate my fellow man. Every time I try to merge onto a crowded highway I realize I’m risking my life.

I’m angry that urban design for decades, almost a century, was planned around these machines. Obviously in rural areas they are incredibly freeing and useful. But having traveled the world I’ve come to realize and hate how peculiarly dependent we are on them in the US. We are heavy outliers among developed countries in how much we rely on cars and eschew public transit. They’re dangerous, expensive, and an annoying. In most cities in the developed world it’s normal to be able to get to a convenience store in a 5-10 minute walk.

They provide decently good evidence of causation, because of the lack of correlation with CPUs. Correlation doesn't prove causation, but it is evidence for it.
This is a wonderful idea! Some of my most meaningful professional connections have come out of side collaborations. I'm a big believer in self-organizing among interested individuals.

Is there a reasonable, not-for-profit platform that can be used to organize something like this? Running it out of the YCombinator domain would add a lot of credibility.
> Vim has supported Lua for a long time. Anyone who wants to really use Lua for Vim plugins already has the option of doing so.

How does that compare to writing Lua plugins for Neovim? Seemingly all search results for "write vim plugin in lua" are dominated by results for writing lua plugins for neovim. Does vanilla Vim have something like Neovim's "Remote Plugin" or how does it work?

The problem is that ipv6 advocates say "just have your network auto-renumber itself every time you change upstream provider", "run multiple IP addresses on every host" etc

I don't think I've ever seen anyone suggesting using a /48 in fd00:: and NAT66 at the edge, and NAT64 is discouraged rather than maintaining a dual stack solution (and if you need to maintain a working ipv4 solution, why even bother with ipv6)
Well, I vaguely knew, but what I learned today is that polls break the ‘Hacker News Enhancement Suite’ plugin.
It probably wouldn't deal with it "well enough". Although, any errors or validation failures would point the user to use git commands to restore peace and order before using the tool again.
Yes, a lot of GNAT studio behavior is actually written as command line tools that get called specifically so you can use them outside of the editor.

The dialogs for builds/proofs even show the exact command line that's going to be used, and updates as you configure it in the editor dialog. It's a great way to learn how the GNAT tools actually work.
ehhh if you are spending time commenting on hacker news you are a westerner
How do you think this would work differently? Blockchains are far too inefficient to store non-tiny content and in any scenario where access control is a problem the publisher isn’t going to put the files somewhere they don’t control. If they want to block you, they’ll block your account on the real servers no matter what the NFT receipt says.

The key misunderstanding you’re making is thinking that you own something either way. What you paid for is a limited license with a legal agreement which allows them to rescind it under certain conditions. If the publishers wanted to be more generous, or gamers were willing to stop paying for terms they don’t like, they could do that now with no need to pay a third party for a distraction.
