The parallels with the JVM are obvious on multiple levels.

In case of WASM I'm curious specifically about cross-language portability. We have learned from the JVM that while technically possible it may not be a popular choice. Java/Kotlin/Scala ecosystems diverged quickly.

So WASM could become a browser technology the way JVM became a strictly server-side thing. Or allow backend developers build frontend applications in a language they are used to.

On a related note, there's something funny about everyone stacking on top of each other. At some point Java will be probably compiled to WASM. You already can go in the other direction with https://www.graalvm.org/22.0/reference-manual/wasm/ . And GraalVM itself is designed to support a wide range of programming languages.
Back when I was working on location for Google Maps navigation, we explicitly disabled the wifi-based location service, because it was less accurate, and occasionally started giving locations from several seconds ago.

So to me it's kind of a baffling decision.
While all the while dangling that "And won't this program be awesome when you're one of the rich ones?" cookie in front of everyone. "Sure I might be poor now, but I am fully against any sort of wealth or inheritance taxes because it harms my fantasy that I'll be living on a private island by the time I die."

We give money to the rich and advertise it to the rich and hopefully temporarily poor.

Maybe it's just me, but I can no longer live without those.
How do you know maintenance is required in a completely automated fashion?
That's crazy, I've never seen anybody get a ticket for 1-2mph over the limit. Problems with that: cops would be wasting resources because 1-2mph over the limit isn't significantly dangerous. Also, the radar guns can't be easily calibrated to that level of accuracy.

If our local cops did this, I'd just make an online post about it so everybody knew the cops were doing it and then it would stop.

My experience (based on a few tickets and observing many cops) is that they don't really care unless you're about 10+ MPH over the limit and also doing unsafe things. That's not to say they don't snag people just driving 5MPH over the limit, but it's not a core activity unless the department is using tickets as a revenue source or trying to make some sort of weird point.
I don't see any available openings for Japan on the greenhouse page, too.
This is the same problem as with overfishing.
It still blows my mind that you have to pay for Wirecutter nowadays. They ultimately end their articles with an affiliate link to their recommendation. I guess perhaps requiring a paid subscription quells any question of incentives, as in they're in it for the subscription money rather than the affiliate links. Still, it's odd, you could say the same thing about Consumer Reports but for some reason, I don't equate them in my mind - maybe it's because of how Wirecutter came up and the fact they have a deals page.
Ultimately though it doesn't matter. I'll never subscribe to any NYT service again until they make it easy to cancel. Talk about dark pattern... yeesh.
It just looks ugly. A slightly larger misalignment could cause shorts on pads above, which would impair the device function, but if it isn't, it isn't.
Is this the same as exposing a folder to the network? I've done that before but it had always been quite cumbersome to set up and at least in my experience quite flaky in performance. I wouldn't want to guide a person over the phone on how to set it up. And the person I was trying to help is really really not tech savvy.

With the help of fellow HN people I've found Resilio which works perfectly! And is moderately easy to set up.
Wikipedia has a decent breakdown with multiple metrics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r...

Looks to me like the US is still on the highish side for deaths per vehicle-mile compared to the EU and Canada, although not that high by worldwide standards.
Probably not since she donates all of it.
It's far too simplistic to say UBI would go to homeowners.

In a supply-constrained environment, it's true that a higher capacity to pay would lead to higher prices, but that's not some general truth. If it were, you could say the same thing about wage increases. Any policy goal seeking higher incomes would be useless: it will all just go to homeowners.

Why bother with public education? Sure, it will increase incomes, but it's all just going to go to homeowners.
Aluminum foil reflects about 85% of visible light. Gold reflects 98% of visible light. Neither of these materials would be effective in protecting against a 100kW laser. That remaining 2% is 2kW of light energy directed at a small target. It’ll rapidly ablate the gold foil and then the target will begin to absorb the full power.
I've never had trouble maintaining 1-2 mph under the limit. I just use less gas and look at the speedometer at times.
I’ve got a specific LinkedIn hack - my name on it is Firstname “Nickname” Lastname. If I get a message addressed to Firstname or to Nickname, I know someone actually read it before sending and I’ll respond. If it’s to Firstname “Nickname”, then I know it’s an automated shotgun blast and I generally ignore it.
If I ask Google Maps to provide my cycling directions, I get multiple options depending on destination. If I ask Apple Maps, I get an apology that directions are not available in my area. I don't think Googs is using openstreetmaps data
It sounds like the bank was doing to you what people are complaining about landlords doing to tenants.
Can you walk me through why that's relevant? Is the implication that it's because we (or some) think the stablecoins are lying about their reserve levels, and we let banks hold fractional reserves approaching zero because they just admit this outright?
I'm sure the few elites who own the vast majority of the wealth will agree and implement UBI in a way that doesn't enrich them or hollow out the poor and middle class. /s

To be fair, I at least agree in the sense that we need to reexamine this idea of creating/saving jobs as something virtuous in and of itself. I just don't see how there's a lick of chance in overriding human behavior that turns the powerful into opportunists.
I’m assuming well equipped means more capable data processing and bandwidth needs, is this the case?

If so, do you have a sense for how many orders of magnitude more bits of data your sensors are acquiring versus Tesla?
Facebook recently used a version of this song in their first ad for the Meta rebrand:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2W9YVkkn9U

"Way in my brain"
> As commercial banks engage in fractional-reserve banking with stablecoin deposits, their balance sheet expands with expansions in credit and security holdings accounting for most of the expansion. The central bank shrinks its balance sheet on the net, as reserves increase slightly while cash liabilities decrease significantly. Households accumulate more assets, funded by the expansion in bank loans.

This is basically saying everyone can get more money because the Fed is less bound by its cash liabilities. This could allow them more direct control over the money supply which is less tied to physical cash deposits. Cautiously optimistic here but this seems like a good thing overall.

One problem scenario: banks invest more with larger balance sheets. What if those investments fail? Now they have liabilities for their deposits which are backed by stable coins which, in turn, are backed by the Fed, which has slightly more cash than before (due to households replacing cash with stable coins) but likely not enough to cover the difference. Could this be a problem or would the Fed simply print more stable coins?
Yeah that’s the author’s argument. That’s why I called it stupid.

The idea of forestalling competition by buying non-competitors doesn’t make any sense at all. NYT would have to buy all kinds of things, spending orders of magnitudes more money than they have.

I have a non-business game… is there any question why the NYT isn’t offerings me low-seven figures for it?
Umlaut | Power grid, energy experts | Full-Time | Dallas, Detroit, Seattle, Bay Area | https://umlaut.com/

Umlaut solves problems in the transportation and utility industries. Personally I work on prototype cars, but right now when I look at the job board, we have a bunch of open positions for energy-sector engineers and project managers. I suspect it's EV-charging-related.

Plus other stuff; my own group needs Detroit-area embedded software and hardware engineers, for instance. Data-science analysts, cybersecurity engineers, the list goes on!

The listings are here: https://www.umlaut.com/career

If you want to apply for any of these, you can go through that site and be anonymous, or email me (see profile) and I'll generate a tracked link for you, which skips you past the first step and gets you straight to the hiring manager.
> In the US public transit is impossible

No sarcasm. Why it's impossible to have public transit like every other country in the world but it's possible to pour tons of money on driverless cars development?
This is great but I think it's always good to be aware of the consequences of stopping quickly (rear ending which might cause its own problems of the same magnitude)
I can see why running Docker daemon on the browser can be seen as excessive.

But running docker container does not need to use dockerd. One can flatten the filesystem and have systemd run the container directly.

I did not meant it as criticism. And I can imagine that situation, which is why I choose a different path, to not be in that position in the first place.

Not saying that my path is better, definitely not money wise, but I knew early, that I do not get along with a culture, that is focused on assigning oversimplificated numbers to people, which is what MBA's seems to be mainly about.
Our discord got hit by the same shit, targeted at our game admins.

We are the largest open source multiplayer video game on github, so (compromised) discord friends sending admins messages about "games they made" with exes in them was more effective then it should have been until news and announcements went out.
Ah, so there are many things that it is hard to be absolutely certain of in geology, but changing Earth's orbit is at least very very hard; even the kinetic energy from things like the Chixulub impact are far too small to have a significant effect. The "moon-forming impact" in the most common model of the origin of the moon might be more on the right order of magnitude, but there don't seem to have been any of those more recently than about 4.51 Ga. An astronomer could say more, but solar luminosity is also relatively well understood from studying other main-sequence stars of various ages.

The most common solutions involve high concentrations of organic greenhouse gases like methane as well as high CO2, but it's always possible there are other possibilities that have not yet been considered.

Loved seeing him at Otakon in 2013. Beagle is a giant of high fantasy. The Last Unicorn is a classic, and some of his other works (The Innkeeper's Song) is not too bad.
Your reading comprehension needs some serious improvement.
I like this. Your messaging is a little weird to me.

The product seems less ‘the web has gotten boring’ and more ‘we are low code development’ — a happy fun place between no code development and the normal overly complex web development of today.

Which funny enough, I think your audience/clients are best for actually big boring development via some enterprise clients who require stricter security rules or giant less skilled employees with occasional custom requirement (imagine a big painful US gov type organization). I don’t see this getting hobbyists but easily could be wrong.

Cheers and congrats. Really cool stuff! Excited to see where you land.

It's a popular fallacy to consider the lives lost you see but not the lifetimes lost from wasteful practices. Think of the children is a nice trope to strut around to scared soccer moms during the elections, though.

You can't make the presupposition that a rolling 'stop' is always more dangerous than a full stop, either.
Aren't they doing two different things? Bank reserves are (broadly speaking) against loan defaults. Also, the risk of what banks do is very well known; the risk of cryptocurrencies is the opposite.

I've been interested in conversational bots and how they might be used for purposes that are more fun than customer service. I'm specifically interested in ideas that are silly, or emotionally salient, or weird, or anything that's not productive and not commercial.

I have been poking around with some stuff, but mostly just ideas in my head. So for "collaboration" I mostly imagine getting ideas from each other, trying each other's stuff out, all very low commitment. Like you know when you find someone who when you talk about ideas together and you both come away more excited than when you started? If there's any community where people do hang out like this that would be cool, though the tedious and tired commercial chatbot discussion seems to dominate.

Some thoughts I've had:

1. How do you make a really creepy bot? (Barring profanity, racism, etc) Sometimes people worry about creepy bots but I honestly am not sure how a bot would be creepy. Making one on purpose might be a way to find out

2. Bots are often very reactive without any will of their own. What kind of personality or (imagined) motivation might make a bot proactive? Would that solve some of the "I don't know what you mean" problem of a chatbot? Like instead of a bland response when the bot doesn't understand, it can instead push back on what it cares about.

3. In this vein I've thought about a depressed bot, and your job is to find a way to cheer it up.

4. User-programmable bots. I've been thinking about this in user-buildable VR worlds. The worlds are all so empty. Can we make it feasible for a person to create their own NPCs?

5. Can a bot be loving and supportive? If it's just a façade, how good of a façade is enough to generate emotional response?

6. How do mediums like text vs voice impact this stuff?
I find the NYT to be extremely consistent in how they choose to cover and editorialize things. But by that I mean internally self-consistent, not that they behave as if they do not have a worldview that informs and shapes their work.
Instagram had raised nearly $60mm* and had 13 employees when it was sold. Wordle was a single person, part-time. They are not remotely similar for the purposes of antitrust discussion.

Show HN: MastermindWord – Wordle more than once a day
Crypto isn't for purchases, but if you decide to do that you should use an anonymous cryptocurrency.
Quoted in that article:

> Creator of Wordle: I can’t keep running this thing; I love the NYT puzzle peeps, they inspired me to make this thing you love, so I sold it to them! Twitter: How dare you give this thing we love a sustaining home!

> Honestly, people. The choice isn’t between Wordle as it exists today and NYT Wordle. It is between no Wordle and NYT Wordle, or even worse, a much crummier acquirer.

Absolute horseshit. Wordle requires nothing more than static hosting for a single small page. Maintenance costs (and effort) are literally zero.
This depends on how powerful your antenna are, $200 wigig transmitters will struggle with much range over those distances.
> That obviously could be replaced by crypto

Could.

So far you've been using the present tense, "the [dumb] contract replaces the solicitor", or such.

Obviously it doesn't. Or could you tell me in which countries in the world you won't, at present, have to pay the government to register real estate ownership changes in its ledger just because you paid the seller in a crypto-"currency"?

What do you mean "no evidence"? The companies testing self-driving cars now have hundreds of millions of miles driven and I haven't seen any reliable report showing they have higher kill rates than human drivers.

It would seem entirely possible that large amounts of highway driving can be handled by self-driving cars with slightly lower rates of accidents (tired and drunk people kill a lot of people!)
The last time I saw Israel doing something like this it was an infrared laser, each laser used a massive "chemical reaction battery" to power the laser. But each burst of shots used a big sea container looking battery that churned out some truly hideous chemical waste.

I wonder how they plan on powering this new system.
Not really. That accuracy is not done with RSSI measurements from far away SSIDs.

I've been working on a project for deduplicating version control written in Go
https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver
I've been a bit frustrated with existing binary version control systems which I've found to be either too centralized, not cross-platform. Right now I'm looking at ways to add special handling for compressed archive files which tend to not deduplicate well. Check out the repo if you're interested.
Of course, though giving yourself an advantage over competitors in a market you control is also illegal, so they should at least try to keep up the appearances.
This is a bad example. Students are tied geographically to their respective campuses. With a UBI, individuals would be incentivized to relocate to lower cost of living areas to stretch their UBI farther.

The fact that housing is in such tight demand in certain areas is not an argument against UBI. To solve that problem we need to build more houses.
I've been out of the job market for almost 18 years and I still get a few attempted contacts a year.
This advice is too generic to be useful.

There are two types of recruiters. Relationship based recruiters and “numbers game” recruiters.

As a recruiter that works primarily with programmers I can usually tell within moments of meeting another recruiter which type they are.

Relationship based recruiters can be a huge asset to your career.

Here are a couple tips

1. A relationship based recruiter is almost never a general recruiter, they specialize in a specific industry.
2. The best type of recruiter is one that has intimate knowledge of your field. So ask probing questions. If they know the jargon and that’s it, pass.

Depends on your use case. PostgreSQL is better if you actually USE any of its more advanced features (e.g. PL/pgSQL, JSON support, etc). But if your data model is simple and your need for scale is high, then MySQL is FAR easier to cluster and scale. Especially if you're working with Percona or another MySQL variant.

Unless you have odd ideas about healthcare and hospitals, I think you overlooked a key part of OP’s question. Have you forgotten the horror that went down in NYC, Italy, etc? Hospitals were overwhelmed, patients piled up all over the place, the dead packed into refrigerated trucks, staff working endless hours, equipment shortages… and you suggest not locking down would have been the better course of action?! Wow.
Random commenters on HN are not smarter than the Palestinians nor the Israelis involved in this conflict. I am sure that 'tin foil' (by which I believe you mean aluminum foil) will not work.

> backed by fiat centralized stablecoins will be used by governments and banks to further their control over people.

Democratic government is the people; it is the people having power over things. Other sources of power, like big business and wealthy people, like to spread ideas deriding government (e.g., the Koch Brothers), so that the power shifts to them.

Who has power over your favorite cryptocurrency? If government gives up regulatory power, who gets that power?

Reasonably, the American people want control over the currency and money supply in their own country.

Blame the developer who spread data specs in many places, not the database.

The application should have a single interface to interact with the database, hiding the implementation. All data specs should do in a single place, inside this interface.
If you think DeFi with USDT/USDC is decentralized then DeFi using FedCoin would be no worse. It might be better since with USDT you have to trust Tether and the Federal Reserve but with FedCoin you only have to trust one.
I use the Gmail + plus symbol trick when I have to provide an email address directly to a recruiter/questionable application form:

Gaza used to be the most prosperous Arab nation that didn't have oil. That's not good for recruiting cannon fodder so they launched the second intifada to destroy the economy.

I see so many people complaining about it and I wonder if it is a US thing. I'm a FAANG engineer in Europe with a small LinkedIn network (less than a 100) and I rarely get contacted unless I open my LinkedIn profile to be seen by recruiters.
"VSCode’s Python support works fine with or without type hints in user code. Obviously, you get more value with them, but that's because there is more information to work with."

How can I avoid type hints when my IDE is "smarter" now with them? When they changed it's linter to look for type hints and ignore the rest of the code in functions in order to determine types?

Sure, it is easier for IDE developers to just leverage type hints and ignore the context of the entire script. But, what does that mean? Am I now required to type hint my functions just to make use of my IDE's features? It is certainly implied.

Sure, you can use VS Code without type hints. But that would be like playing Guild Wars 2 without in-game purchases. Possible, but much harder and you would be outplayed by a lot of top ranked players.
In my experience, expensive doesn’t necessarily mean more reliable, it could just mean higher fidelity, higher resolution (and possibly less reliable due to the utilization of parts ‘less’ produced on the global supply chain), etc.

This improved resolution don’t necessarily help an AI grok the situation in real time with >20 Hz response time though.
