MAC address randomization makes this harder.
By the way, while Go did initially have segmented stacjs, they've long abandoned it in favour of a contiguous one.
As long as you stumble forward with enough momentum, you’ll get there eventually. Even if you don’t, you’ll do so joyfully.
>Will the next optimisation be launching one thread per request?

That is what Cloudflare Workers do. One v8 isolate thread per request.
Unless you're thinking about large homes, these empty square meters are absolutely needed and healthy. You need space to walk in your home, it's much more pleasing psychologically than clutter (or even slabs of "organized" stuff), and reduces claustrophobia. So yeah, the space constraints can absolutely make some hobbies, or owning too many physical books and media etc., too costly.
You might be right about some subcultures of the cryptocurrency world but we're talking about NFT's right? They don't do anything that Diffie Hellman key exchange can't do already and have a lot of flaws making them ripe for abuse.
Your example here is a little on the absurd side don’t you think? While the lack of generics in a language can be annoying for some people it’s not a showstopper for most use cases. Whereas removing conditionals would make it a non-starter for most people. And the fact that Go does now have generics should demonstrate that the language is trying to be pragmatic rather than just trolling the community.

It’s worth noting that Go vetting tools do capture a few instances of “misusing” ‘if’ statements so taking your comment sincerely (which is more than it deserves imo), your worst case scenario is already covered.
There is pretty much no guarantee at all regarding what code a compiler will emit for bitfields. Per spec, the order and sizes can change.

The author does mention some of this but their conclusion is misguided: it’s not a portability problem, it’s a showstopper. Indeed, the next point release of the exact same compiler could very well decide to use a completely different behavior for bitfield.

Any seasoned low-level engineer would know: bitfields should never be used for register mapping, period. I wish the article made that more explicit.
That's super fucked up.

There is still a remote chance you qualify FYI:

I think one of the great takeaways is his quote:

> Maybe it’s overconfidence, but I have a mentality that another human figured it out, so I can too, even if maybe it takes me longer

Sometimes I explain what I do in software. "There is no magic. I don't like when there is magic. Some people do but it leaves me feeling unsure about what my code will do. Instead I tend to work very slowly at first, seeing what each little piece of code does and slowly seeing all the pieces work together. There's an important tool that I'm shocked to sometimes discover not all developers use - debugging. It's really just having the computer execute one line of code at a time and being able to see what the computer sees, and understand how things work at that level."

Lithography is a black box to me... but of course it doesn't have to be. So it's exciting to see someone invest time and assemble the physical tools to learn this dark art from the comfort of their garage.
> seeing a kid fresh out of college fearlessly writing performant code by leveraging the amazing Rust compiler

A nice (and very ridiculous) fantasy, but no.

As a person who hires developers to write performant code, I'd love it if there were these magical junior Rust developers who can write performant code.

But as the market exists right now, Rust developers are twice as expensive and the product they deliver is twice as bad.

The only way I can justify Rust to higher management is selling it as a vanity PR project.
This is pretty much how I live in London, and it's great!

* Several small shops and small-ish supermarkets in a 5 min walk, with bigger ones maybe 15 mins walk away
* Doctors, dentists, even a hospital within 10 mins walk
* Ditto for co-working spaces
* Gyms, swimming pool, coffee shops, even some theatres and a cinema within 5 mins walk too
Which coming back to the main subject isn't ISO C, rather a compiler extension.
Thats very interesting. When I lived in Europe, I lived in a town of 20k.

I could easily walk two towns over, and a major European town was a short train ride away.

We certainly didnt have night clubs we certainly had fancy restaurants everywhere catering to families who wanted a night out.

Europe is not very monolithic!
What is TC?
Note that the BLC self-interpreter mentioned in another comment does not get the reader for free, having to parse lambda terms (including numbers written in unary) from a stream of bits. It does get a garbage collector for free.
It is accompanied by a BLC interpreter written in 25 lines of obfuscated C that does include a reference counting garbage collector.
Benelux, but I saw them in Germany as well. Rad Wagon is the most popular, I guess this is because it can be used to transport kids but still costs under 2000€ while bakfietsen usually cost three times that.
The first paragraph of this is weird coming from someone who claims to think assembler and type C. Do you realize, or no, that Rust and Zig use LLVM for release code (Rust uses it for everything)? What are these risks you refer to, looking funny?

> Rust programs have to pay the price for runtime checks because Rust doesn't trust you to know what you're doing.

Buddy, you talk a lot of game about knowing your tools. Don't say obviously ignorant stuff about other peoples tools, it makes me think you're bluffing about C.
I actually tend to see anything I buy as a black hole that will suck more money into it.

A good example is when you get a bicycle, you do the equation and realize that within two years you will have saved in on the cost of public transportation. But it's when you start using it you realize that suddenly you always end up sweaty arriving to work so you need to buy good ventilated outdoor clothes and then a little bit later the winter arrives and you realize you need the same type of winter clothes, and then your first tier brakes and you realize you don't have any tools, so not only do you need to buy a new tier but also the tools. And here the initial smart calculation has fallen apart long time ago.

Don't get me wrong. There's a lot of benefits riding a bike to work so it may still be very much worth it. But once you have this realization you can apply the same logic to anything you buy or thinking of buying which may helps prioritizing because there's just so many black holes you can have in your life.
Re: the last part: I dislike the fact that carriers are getting involved in fog computing. It gives them a perverse incentive to do things like slow down VPNs or even disable privacy enhancing technologies (like how some ISPs have been caught disabling Apple's semi-Tor built into the OS.

Also, the vast majority of the world doesn't have an iPhone, so assuming everyone is spending over a thousand dollars on the latest and greatest cellphone will lead to even worse websites.
"Spanish from Spain ranking at 14 and Latin American Spanish landing at 32"

Interesting result.

I tries to learn Spanish a few years ago, and read that south american Spanish speakers were unhappy, that people from Spain would say their Spanish is the true and better one, and that Spain decide what is Spanish and what isn't.

If that experiment holds true, their decisions at least led to a more efficient Spanish, haha.
Yup... old habit of writing C/C++ :)
This is covered by the secondary cost already, isn't it?
>48 hours a week is the maximum in the UK and the EU.

That's blatantly false. In Austria the maximum is 60h/week since it's the maximum allowed in the EU.
This company had higher standards for their org chart than our modern production systems. Sheesh, what happened. Sad.
This is because of liquidity preference. A tenant or a building on a plot of land makes the property less liquid. Almost all property has liquidity preference, however it gets especially bad with money(buy food), land and housing because they are necessary to meet basic human needs.

If the return on the property is lower than the owners liquidity preference he will not rent it out and instead keep it liquid (empty).

This also applies to people. Training makes an employee less liquid so training will only be done if the return exceeds liquidity preference.

This basically means the employee has to carry the cost of liquidity (subsidized through unemployment benefits and paying for your own education).
Writing a Lisp interpreter in C/C++ is cheating. You get readable code and a standard library for free. Don't get me wrong, it's surely fun, but if you really wanna learn about things, you need to write a Lisp interpreter in Assembly. It's a much more satisfying experience.

Jokes aside, I'm hoping the author continues to feel free to spend their time implementing whatever idea they come across that is interesting. Sure, it's not as advanced as implementing something in C/C++, but maybe the authors goal was just to understand their preferred lisp (Clojure) better, rather than trying to understand C/C++ better?

> Bonus points if you get to optimize tail recursion. (I didn't, but I didn't try to, so I don't consider it a failure.)

Is this as complicated as people put it? I've never implemented my own lisp, but MAL (https://github.com/kanaka/mal) makes it seem like a relatively easy step in the process.
You don't seem to get it. If the borrower has to put up 100% collateral it means that their buying power remains the same. Borrowers borrow money in order to increase their present buying power (at the expense of future buying power). You can't do that with overcollateralised loans, smart contracts, or blockchain technology.
Was about to ask the same thing. There are ~280 resolutions to that initialism on a random website that I've found, none of which are easily applicable to the context.
> If that's you're trying imply.

That's just one piece of equipment, though. Plus it's one of the cheaper parts and let's not mention the fact that this "spare garage" is bigger than many apartments in other parts of the world...

So it's not insignificant at all. If you live in a rented apartment (e.g. about 60% of all Swiss people), not even money will make up for the fact that you simply cannot do something like that because there's just no space.

It's many things that have to come together to make this possible - "will" or "talent" alone just doesn't cut it.

I got my first serious start with hackerboxes. A monthly challenge to make something did much more to open my eyes to the small electronics world than many hours of blandly staring at the guts of old disassembled devices.
> utilitarianism is a form of deontology

Systems of morals can all be expressed as rules, outcomes, or goals, so each can be phrased to subsume the others.

> Utilitarianism ultimately rests on the ethical intuition that maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain is the only value that should be pursued.

That sounds more like hedonism. Utilitarians don't necessarily believe that pleasure is perfectly aligned with utility.

> You deny a general chilling effect that patents have on the market overall? That people will, companies, and insterors will simply avoid patent encumbered technology

So I can just simply say Microsoft has patents and therefore operating systems are not progressing because of that? You realize that's what you're claiming.

> You simply refuse to acknowledge that generally accepted reality

Your reality doesn't match mine. I work in the display industry.

Golang competes in exactly the same space as Java and C#. With a small twist, but the same space.

That put a huge burden of proof on the Golang designers as the design space had been studied extensively for 3+ decades. And they skirted around that burden of proof for a while, I never liked their reasoning.

They could have just come out and said the didn't like generics and don't need them for their use cases.

Zig and Rust are in whole 'nother ballgame so there's no point involving them here.
I don't know how rich you are, but minimalism is possibility.

Contrary to what a lot people believe, minimalism is not a thing for the poor or a way to get rich. It's a lifestyle for the people who can buy/rent anything whenever they want and those people usually have a lot of money. You'll end up with a lot of less things, physically and mentally.

About time, you have to think about time x money. Is there any way that you can pay for some thing or service that free up your time? For example, you can drive to your work or you can pay a taxi and have that time to do something else. When on vacation, you cay pay more for a hotel that is near the place you're interested. You can pay for a personal assistant to handle smaller things, etc.
That's not wrong, just like other colonial empires like France/USA have their own propaganda ecosystem. In the meantime, RT still is the only mainstream media in France covering popular protests from an angle that's not a priori despise.
I don't think that's necessarily correct. Music production software isn't as dystopian partially because of the absolute market dominance of Logic Pro - anything else can't compete with it, so the last thing those companies want is more reasons for their customers to not use them.

The other reason is people making money - the vast, vast majority of people will never make money from music production or guitar plugins (not because it is inherently worse, but because a lot more people do it for fun, v/s photo or video editing). Photoshop and Premier know that a substantial amount of customers use their products to make a living.

OTOH, what you're saying is definitely true to some extent for Guitar Plugins et al. Native Instruments has a bunch of free guitar plugins, and Tonebridge is amazing, and neither have any reason to be free.

Main reasons for normal pixel arrays is that UI elements are built predominantly from vertical and horizontal lines. And that is enough to bury the idea of hex arrays until you have so many pixels that it doesn't matter anymore at which point there is no more advantages from hex arrays.
>The best feeling on a bike is cruising down a hill, barely pedaling, and taking in the surroundings. E-bikes are like that all the time.

It only feels better because of the contrast to the upward side of the hill. Bicycles are primarily about reducing friction to basically nothing so that the rider can go ridiculously fast for little effort. The downside is that the rider really notices hills and wind.

If you take away the agony you don't get to experience the ecstasy.

SNAP doesn't have time limits like that.

I think you're thinking of TANF which does have time limits.

Absolutely. Still, over 10% of people in USA receive SNAP (including myself) and it's why poor people don't literally starve here anymore.

"The day of the flood" was the Rise of Worse is Better. https://www.dreamsongs.com/WorseIsBetter.html

80s - 90s where the era where quantity, volume and network externalities became more important than quality or even capabilities. There were good reason for that to happen, of course.
I recently had to take over a wordpress site for a volunteer project and it almost immediately got hacked with spam despite taking great pains to not have this happen.

Thousands of SEO pages showed up in the DB after installing some well known marketplace plugins. I was able to remove the hacked plugin and fortunately, it wasn't a big deal as this was just a temporary site for an event, but I would never work on wordpress again and I dissuade people from using it when I hear that they are considering it.

It was great for its day, but times have changed and it's just not a secure platform.

Any benefit given by all the plugins is outweighed by "hack roulette" you are playing when you install and customize them.

There are now many other solutions out there that will be more secure and fit the need for most people.

> From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United Kingdom (UK) government has made it a top priority to track key health metrics and to share those metrics with the public.

According to Dominic Cummings (ex-adviser to the PM), this isn't true at all - one of their biggest failings early on was to not have the data and not see the priority in getting it.[1]

[1] https://news.sky.com/story/dominic-cummings-hearing-the-insi... : He added later that there was no data system at that point, and he needed to use his iphone as a calculator to make predictions about the extent to which infections would spread, which he then wrote down on a white board.
I suggest this is the wrong conversation to have. I'd put it this way: I love Paris, with its buildings of 5 or 6 stories, and I love New York City (where I live) with its taller buildings. But both cites suffer the same problem, which is that the roads are used for all purposes. If you are a pedestrian, and you want to go into a store to buy bread and cheese and wine and coffee, the bread and cheese and wine and coffee need to be brought in by a truck that will be using the same streets that people use to get around on/in their cars or Vespas or bicycles or taxis. Only a few cities in the world have ever been serious about building a second level of walkways, for pedestrians, and typically these pedestrian walkways only cover a few blocks in the downtown area. Nor are the walkways truly fundamental to the architecture of the city, and by that I mean one rarely sees retail stores on the 2nd level, but rather, pedestrians are expected to go back down to the ground floor once they need to actually do something, like buy something at the store. Cities of the future will have to commit to that 2nd level, as well as a 3rd and 4th level. And at some point, these walkways need to be built not just for pedestrians but for any 2 wheel vehicles, including bikes and Vespas and mopeds. This issue is more important than whether the buildings should max out at 5 floors or 50.
Another HN user, tptacek, has made comments going back years now that point out how modern Android (at least Pixels) and iPhones all isolate the baseband behind a serial/USB peripheral interface. I'm not sure you would gain anything at all by going with your surmised setup above.

Hey Europe, want to stop being several decades behind in IT compared to US/China?

One simple trick:

Ban FAANG from public procurement in Europe!

It‘s a no-brainer really.

Buy locally, ideally giving small companies and startups a chance.

You will have to do it anyway very soon if you want your privacy laws to be taken seriously.

There might be a couple of months of friction while buerocrats have to find new procurement partners, but that's it.

And then the European tech scene will rise.
How does Nira compose you messages that can be adjusted via something resembling a form? This is the headline from their website:

> Protect company documents from unauthorized access

And the tagline:

> Nira is a real-time access control system that provides visibility and management over who has access to company documents in Google Workspace.

Not sure how that remotely resembles being able to have text macros.
One of the things I despise about these jobs is the overuse of initialisms and acronyms. It's literally gatekeeping even if done subconsciously. It also fucks with new hires quite a lot because they have no idea what AC, SOP, PR, NPS, etc mean
The author is right in principle, i I think Golangs async scheduler which automatically moves blocking code outside Golangs goroutine scheduler is amazing, but his code and explanations are all wrong. also "Java’s green threads" shows a deep lack of understanding.

The author shows a junior level of understanding which co tradicts "I’ve worked professionally with Go for a couple of years"
Clearly I overly simplified things, but the point was doubling a cities population should roughly double the number of restaurants. That doesn’t hold for towns, but you see multiple McDonalds in the same city because being the closest McDonalds is a useful difference. Similarly at scale you see more specialization such as Thai vs Chinese vs Pho etc etc.

Add cost and you can have almost unlimited density without inherently limiting the number of restaurants much like how a mall can have 100 stores all selling different kinds of clothing.
