C++ evolution since Rust came along has been amusing. Finally, the C++ designers take safety seriously, now that there's a competitive threat. Until a decade ago, they didn't. I used to argue with some of the committee members over that.

The trouble is, C++ does safety by using templates to paper over the underlying C memory model. This never quite works. The mold always seeps through the wallpaper. Raw pointers are needed for too many APIs.

What you refer to is people relocating for work or study. It happens but it's uncommon.

Much more common is boarding a low cost flight on Friday night or Saturday morning, flying between 60 to 120 minutes and coming back on Sunday night. Add to that a two/three weeks vacation once per year.
Yeah, seems insane to me. When I find a piece I like I often buy it in multiple colors. Best of both worlds: Same great clothing and still some variation.

If people could buy cocaine at Starbucks (or get cheap stuff at a dollar store), would supply be such a problem for users that they resort to crime?

The only way to perceive actual reality and truth is to be magically endowed with this ability? The author of this quote can't imagine how this ability might result from evolution? Personal incredulity does not count as proof. Naturalism is our only chance for understanding this world, everything else is just magical thinking without proof.
So assuming the scheme only works when everyone is in on it, would you be the one who reports it and gets punished and vilified? And who would you report it to? I'm not from thw US, and it brings a hopeful smile that conspiraces seem solvable over there.
Was thinking the same. How do they know that they really are communists? Did they teach them to shout "death to capitalist pigs"? :)

Jokes aside and looking at it from other perspective, perhaps they all really are communists? As in the ideal, written-in-books, case - sharing resources equally, being equal to each other?

This doesn't work. Even if you assume sqrt(a) + sqrt(b) > sqrt(c) + sqrt(d), that doesn't necessarily mean that log(sqrt(a)) + log(sqrt(b)) > log(sqrt(c)) + log(sqrt(d)). For example, let a = 1, b = 100, c = 25, d = 25. Then

> sqrt(1) + sqrt(100)

11.0

> sqrt(25) + sqrt(25)

10.0

> log(sqrt(1)) + log(sqrt(100))

That's kind of the killer for laptop usage. Even if there was support for just the most popular broadcom chip or something that would be workable; but, as it is it's unusable on a modern laptop.

Linux had had this part sorted for about 10 years which is one of the main reasons why FreeBSD will continue to be forgotten as a desktop OS.
This is where Merlot is a good choice. Its a more mellow taste usually.
If your data is composite (i.e. a JavaScript object or array) and you have several Promise-based flows of execution (technically not a virtual thread by most definitions of the term, but still a scheduled flow of execution) that end up reading/writing sub-parts of your piece of data in unpredictable order. That's basically a data race, in JavaScript. I've had to debug some of those.

As a side-note, some forms of data races (for perhaps a slightly looser definition of the term) can even happen without explicit asynchronicity, just with callbacks/synchronous events.
Very few of those companies seem to be truly competing with Stripe. Most of them are specific to a non-US country, or target a very specific demographic.

The problem with doing that is that you've now created a substantial dependency for your commercial product, and not a dependency that's merely the "requires npm package foo" kind of dependency. Because Nova is not VSCode, being compatible with Code's extensions API means:

- committing to implementing every new documented Code API function as quickly, completely, and transparently as possible, because if you don't, extensions will break;

- resolving mismatches between how Electron apps do things and how AppKit apps do things, which may be easier said than done;

- possibly choosing not to support functionality in extensions that Code doesn't have;

- putting control of your flagship product in someone else's hands.

So I'm not really surprised Panic hasn't done that. If there were a way to create a basic converter that takes a Code extension as input and spits out a likely-needs-work Nova extension, kind of like there's a converter for TextMate syntax definition files to Code's format, that would be great, although that would almost certainly be easier said than done.
> Striped of the hyperbole, the underlying premise is why accelerators exist ? YC is just the best at it and more visible ?

Yes, but it would be nice to dispense with the mythology that what is going on is the best technology is winning. YC might as well be the alumni association at Harvard.

The whole culture in SV / YC / HN / FAANG (and I understand the differences between those) is a value capture mechanism. It simply could not exist without extreme VC funding and pushing market entrants out via capitalization and size. Additionally, 20 years of this has proved that only certain types of low-hanging fruit can succeed with that model: (1) low cost-of-capital software industries, with (2) relatively known risks and favorable governance (see SF politics), and (3) an endless supply of knowledge workers who don't need domain experience.

Make the technology physical, requiring real science or engineering experience, have to pay the taxes that every other company in America pays, and not be able to push out market entrants from capitalization, and this whole world would collapse. Personally, I think it's obvious it's collapsing right now.

I have no dog in the Stripe vs Bolt fight, but the idea that this forum and the VC network culture of the Bay Area are talented underdogs as opposed to the extremely privileged is a deliberately concocted fiction.

What plugin(s) exactly are you using in VSCode for Python support?

I don’t mean finish FreeBSD forever and go home - I mean finish a release.

Set some goals, release software that achieves those goals, and keep fixing bugs that are found.

If you have some new goals (support new hardware, add new feature), work on those in the next release. But don’t abandon the old release, because it still works to achieve the original goals.

What I’m suggesting to avoid is the situation where a bug is found and the user is told “it’s fixed in the next release”. If the bug compromises the goals of a release, it should be fixed in that release!

Sure you’d have to support old releases for much longer, but that’s not the hard part.

The hard part is deciding what the goals are in a precise and coherent way (for this purpose, goals should be the set of promises made to the user, which when broken give rise to a bug). I don’t think any large software project has good discipline here. I don’t think it’s been done before for an OS. But I’m talking about differentiation here.

To stay in your metaphor, moving faster is not a guarantee to arrive at your target earlier. As long as everything works fine, using k8s is great. When you have to dig deep to solve a problem, a stack with less layers might be a huge advantage.

The entire thing is a good read.
Ultimately it's all experiences!

But I agree with the author that the current trend of renting everything is difficult to understand. I can rent a kayaking experience for $70 a pop, or just buy a kayak for ~$1K. I've certainly used my kayak more than 15 times so I'm already ahead. And eventually I'll sell it for a reasonable percentage of purchase price. And meanwhile I can use it without restrictions which is a much more enjoyable experience (at the rental place need to return it before they close, can't use it at night, can't go to some areas, etc.)

For anything I expect to use more than once, I'd rather buy it to enjoy freely.
You’re very old school… I love it.

I think I can believe most but that part is really weird:

> For protection against enemy divers, dolphins will swim up to the infiltrator, bump into them and place a buoy device on their back or a limb using their mouth. The buoy then drags the outed diver to the surface for easy capture. When trained sea lions perform the same maneuver, they use a kind of handcuff with their mouths to attach the buoy

Imagine if we did this on land: monkeys or dogs handcuffing or tasing people! Surely they wouldn't be deployed against civilians and I know there have been exotic animals travelling with military (like bears) but training animals to fight humans with TOOLS looks incredibly hard.
So we hope that customers eventually stop using their services, hurting their bottom line.

I've been following some drama in chat/user interaction in modern games. People are getting banned in Forza Horizon 5 for funny decals. One guy got an 8,000 year ban for a Kim Jong-un KFC paint job (https://i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk/incoming/article25686363.ece...).

EA is banning entire accounts - access to ALL games on an account - for swearing in Apex Legends. All of the major studios are in the process of severely restricting and even removing chat in their games.

The latest Battlefield 2042 game doesn't even have voice chat, and they removed the global scoreboard altogether because they didn't want poorly performing players to know how poorly they were performing.

The list goes on and on. To me, this is all a serious reduction in the enjoyment I have in games. I grew up playing Counter Strike, and s**-talking and competing was a big part of the experience. I just won't play games where I'm not allowed to interact with other players.
Think it this way. If Google is this dumb, any account can be flagged for no reason so it doesn't increase the risk even further than it currently is.

> IBM has been around for serious time.

Tata is nearly half a century older than IBM. IBM is older than the TCS subsidiary, sure - TCS is "only" 54 years old. But I have no idea why that matters to your argument as it's still not clear to me why you were making the comparison.

That said, IBM does today have more employees in India than in the US, and IBMs current CEO is Indian-American, born in India and educated in part at an IIT so I can see why some would describe it that way. To me at least there's no value judgement - positive or negative - attached to that. It seems like you took offence at the comparison of IBM to an Indian company, and I can see why you'd think so in context, but I don't see why that justifies downplaying the success of companies like TCS.

> Like I said show me an Indian company that was a tech giant for analysis on the way down.

I still have no idea what you intend this to mean. TCS is a tech giant. It's the largest IT service company in the world.

As for Tata being no IBM, you're right, Tata Group is older and several times the size of IBM. The Tata Consultancy Services subsidiary alone is larger than IBM, and Tata as a whole employs about twice as many people as IBM, most in TCS. IBMs original business was thematically closer to what they still do today, I guess, but only marginally.

First of all I am sorry for your loss.

I don't disagree that your natural antibodies probably gave you more or less the equivalent benefit of the vaccine (depending on the strain). However, there are plenty of bad actors saying they had it when they didn't just to bypass any sort of mandate for work, travel, etc. Because of that it's hard to trust folks at their word.

Finally your natural immunity will eventually wear off though I am not sure if there is consensus on when that happens. I acknowledge that there is some risk and hand waving "it's a one in a million chances" doesn't help when it's someone you love.

There are also lots of people that have had bad experiences with the medical field, the government, etc. so don't trust the vaccine. I don't agree with them but I can't blame them for their conclusions. It for sure doesn't help to berate them or you.
I believe that declarative is typically better at letting the db compile it to something efficient while imperative is typically better when the author of the request knows exactly what they're doing.

Yes, I'm purely talking syntax. I find the syntax of SQL to be arbitrary. Do I need a single quote or two? Do I need parentheses here? Or double parentheses? What does this bind, exactly?

I believe that there is lots to be gained by making the syntax more regular, without affecting semantics.

Beautifully put.

The meditation / Buddhist phrase often used is that of "two darts".

The first dart is the "real" affliction. So an easy example is - you wake up with a migraine.

The first dart is real. It's an actual thing.

The second dart though is your response. So in the case of a migraine you might feel all sorts of things: anger that it's happening again, irritation that it's today when you've got so much to do; worry that you've got a brain tumour; sadness that you're going to miss lunch... Insert a hundred similar responses here...

What a meditation practice can do - and what Jung was sort of talking about - is make yourself much more aware of your responses. Although the first "dart" may be "real" and (in our example) you're gunna have a headache no matter what you do, you can relieve the suffering by lessening or even removing altogether the second darts.

There's an often used quote which is attributed to Viktor Frankl (I'm not sure it was actually him...), but:

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

This is where some (only some in my experience and opinion) of the power of meditation is realised.

Stripe doesn't expose post times and the Bolt announcement appears to be dead. So, Stripe posted before Bolt - at least on HN.

I really doubt the investors know the fundraising strategy Stripe was using internally. I doubt this strategy is even legal and is doubly against any good judgement that YC could exercise - profiting off of competitors as an incubator would be fantastic. This statement is as good as speculation and is on the reader to determine Ryan's investors credibility.

sum(gross_salary) as sum_gross_salary,

from
employees,
lateral ( select

(salary + payroll_tax + healthcare_cost) as gross_cost

where
country = 'usa'
