Why would I want to go to a movie theater? I have a better screen at home that shows what I want when I want.
I wonder what it's like to have such a naive black and white view of the world. You speak of left and right like it's a fantasy movie with some long narrative about good and evil. And you speak as though the concept of right and left has been an unchanging thing ("the right has been doing this for centuries"). Do you believe you are some stoic warrior engaged in a centuries long battle for some ideal?
TLDR: Across the few dozen different workloads tested, switching Raspberry Pi OS 11 for the 64-bit version improved the performance on average by about 48%

That's quite impressive!
Seems pretty easy to me to differentiate someone's personal spending from their business values.
Depends on the language. Many FP languages use persistent data structures, sharing some memory with derived/updated values.
like amonia or something, sour, no ammount of deodorant can mask it, and the smell can't be removed from clothes. When u wash the clothes you can smell it right when it leaves the washing mashine, it dissappears when it dries but the moment it gets a little moist, like water or sweat the smell is back.

I've tried baking soda, different brands of washing detergent, strong vinegar (25%) to no avail.

The smell goes away about 3 days after I go back to a diet of meat and animal fat. Comes back a bit when I drink strong coffee, so I think it's something like a stress hormone. Energy seems more stable without coffee, but coffee doesn't seem to make me depressed (as much as plant based food does).

I've started suffering from that when puberty hit, but I think depression started earlier (i can remember that colors seemed to have vanished from the world one day)
I think he means Steam on PC.
Signal is opensource-ish. The fact you can't compile the code and federate with the main Signal network means having some version of source online is mostly meaningless. They proved this when they developed the crypto functionality behind everyone's back with no commits to the public source code for months. Who is to know if they are really running the source code they publish?

Matrix is the only one where you can be sure that the source code matches what you are running on both the client and (your) server.

I enjoy modern Legos (with my now 7 year old) but only because I have them a giant bin, unsorted. I managed to get an enormous collection for $150 from a kid that I guess was growing out of them and wanted the money. And I immediately disassembled all the "kits" (like the Slave I ship now known as "Boba Fett's Firespray gunship") so they were just random pieces. Yes it is fun that there are a ton of weird minifigures, some recognizable and some not. There are all kinds of interesting pieces in there.

But I really hate the idea that you should approach it like an airplane model or the like, where you put it together the one correct way. That is boring. I don't expect to ever buy a kit like that.
Maybe I should have put a disclaimer in my comment to stave off this kind of reply.

I am well aware of the CRT. I don't think its worth mentioning because it is a
"run time" in name only. It literally doesn't do anything at run time. The only thing crt0 does is call your main(). From that point on, only your actual code is executing.

Contrast with Java or Python, where your code is executing inside a runtime which eats up cpu cycles at runtime.

I initial wrote this as the same comment but you didn't ask how to secure your identity in your question so here's a bonus on how to mitigate your risk if you care:

Deal with a broker that will back you up. Here’s Schwab’s policy https://www.schwab.com/schwabsafe/security-guarantee. Talk to them about what security they have for high-net worth individuals. And don’t feel like you have to have just one broker. Do the same for your bank and credit card companies. They have additional security options if you request them.

You’re focused on your passport, but have you secured your medical records? Talk to you doctor about getting a flag put on those records so they need to call you before they send them somewhere—you don’t need someone getting those by faxing your doctor a form saying they’re a specialist. Medical records have information like birthdates and ssns that don’t change so they go for more money on the black market.

Use your credit card for everything. Handing over an AmEx doesn’t give someone info about what bank you use. If you fill up at the gas station, you don’t have to worry about a skimmer draining your bank account cause you can just dispute any fraudulent activity.

Secure your financial info. Unenroll in credit card offers, put fraud alerts on your 3 credit reports, your Chex report, your Innovis report, and your NCTUE report. Renew that fraud alert annually—put it on your calendar. Also freeze those reports.
https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/how-do-i-stop-re...

Many states let your hide your voter registration info which is how websites like mylife get your name and address.

Don’t give out your ssn except to jobs and the government—really no one else needs it. Your passport is perfect to establish identity and citizenship. If you think your passport has been compromised, get a new one which will have a new number. If someone demands your ssn, really push back and make it clear you’re worried about identity theft and what else can you give them to establish your identity?

If you use gmail, enroll in advanced security protection and use some physical token like a yubikey https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/ I probably don’t have to tell you to keep your devices up-to-date

You can get a pin for your cell phone account if you’re worried about a sim-swapping attack. Again, talk to your phone company. If you have to do phone 2fa, a burner phone could be good.

And finally, monitor. I get pings every time money comes out of my bank account, my 401k, my investment account. I get push notifications when someone hits my credit report (that’s how I stopped the second identity theft incident).
you actually have to be close-minded to read this favorably, an open-minded reading would be to consider the "slaves" as people whose rights are being violated
This is mostly for US, particularly in the Bay Area. There, fresh grads (SDE1s) are making $175k total comp, with $133,500 base salary. The base hardly increased for higher levels (SDE2/SDE3) before today, only being able to rise $26,500 before hitting the old cap.
Perhaps in the FAANG community there's room for this kind of introspection. There are many accomplishments and accolades you can point to that carry a great deal of weight.

The mid-career midwestern enterprise line of business developer working for companies no one's ever heard of should cling to the Senior title for dear life. Losing it would signal a spectacular flame out.
> Proponents of self-sustainment as the way forward advocate off-grid lifestyle that provides energy and large amount of food/materials internally / within family or homestead. A house and a plot of land, and some fruit/veggies/animals, with solar or geothermal, etc.

Yes but this isn't possible with current population levels so it's a non-started from a practical standpoint. It also has downsides as you can't build things like hospitals or universities, particle colliders, or hardware/electronics to do self-sustainment. All and I mean all who advocate for this specific way of life only do so and are able to do so because it's subsidized by technological innovation throughout the rest of the world. To be clear I support people doing this. I think it’s really cool and good for society, but it’s important to be aware of how you’re actually able to do it.

> In my mind then, a 5,000 people town is as much on the other side of the spectrum from that, as a 5,000,000 people town.

I think this would be a great opportunity to recalibrate, because those are not even remotely the same thing in any way, shape, or form. Even ancient peoples who were undoubtedly more self-sustaining than anyone who exists today had settlements larger than 5,000 people.

> In fact, in North America, small and medium towns in my experience (Minnesota, Manitoba, Ontario) are quaint and lovely, but worst possible compromise - no self-sustaining benefits of independent homestead, but with limited to no public transit, no high density dwelling, spread out infrastructure. You cannot live without a car in a small north american town - modern or old. They are beautiful lovely historic worst parts of sub-urban without the urban/core.

I agree that this is the experience but you need to look to Europe for better examples. I'm also advocating for things like train service, majority of your experience being walking or biking (i.e. a 15-minute town), and very reduced car ownership. Having a car isn't that bad, it's having 2 or 4 cars and using them for everything under the sun. Europeans have cars, and they also have infrastructure, and farms, and self-sustaining areas. It's a great blueprint to improve upon. I'm not advocating for what is, but what could be.
It's weird though. I would say I shifted right recently after seeing homeless everywhere, crime in front of my face in many places I go, my laundry smelling like MJ at a public laundromat. I wouldn't stop gays from marrying at all, but there are a lot of issues that make me feel like democrats have been pulled into some weird pro-crime or anti-society movement.

It's all falling apart and I feel like democrats have been asking for it and continue to do so.
That's a very broad brush statement. Many US tech companies have pretty reasonable work/life balance, less vacation than is typical in Europe but still in the 3-4 week range, and you'd probably be hard pressed to find a large or even not-so-large employer that didn't offer healthcare (albeit you may have to pay half the premiums or so).
You are trying to disagree here.

Otherwise, you’d have looked at other comparable economic powers worldwide that provide a more socialist alternative and see that they are nowhere near the inflation rate you’re describing, e.g. France.

Granted, it’s not $30K a year, but $7.5K for a single person, with free healthcare & education that could be considered a form of income.
Doing the same maths as you did, round it $10K per person and you’re at 30% of GDP.

It’s been running for years and debt levels didn’t skyrocket much higher than the US.
It's possible to run Unikraft unikernels via kubernetes with minimal interference to the ecosystem, check out the talk at CNCF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV-xawN9_cg

yes, but fecal transplants are not a thing where I live, it would be pretty expensive to do it here.
Wanting to build something is not the same is building something people want to use.

Do you want to use what you have built?
That is a fair point, and looking back I misread the context of the comment I replied to. You should not expect free performance gains from transpiling to C.
The obvious answer is Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Abelson and Sussman, often called SICP. It is often discussed on HN and is generally regarded as a classic with great staying power. It appeared in 1985 so it already has a good start on a hundred years.

It has some features in common with The Feynman Lectures: It presents a very personal, not always mainstream, view of its subject. It was originally written as a first-year textbook (for MIT instead of Caltech) but many in its orginal intended audience found it too difficult or just too weird, and it is most appreciated now by experienced programmers and computer scientists.
This is basically what I've done.

1. Buy a Fujitsu ScanSnap.

2. Buy a wall mounted folder rack (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Klickpick-Office-Organizer-Multipurpo...) and mount it near the scanner.

3. All paper, put in the folder when it comes in.

4. Once a week, scan everything in the folders. Scanner turns paper into OCR'd PDF.

5. Set the scanner to scan to a Dropbox folder.

6. I name my files YYYY.MM.DD_Organization_DocTitle. The rest can be searched for since it's OCR'd.
Personally, the only GUI I have ever used is GitKraken during my studies. Since then I do a lot of my work on remote servers so CLI has been much more convenient.

I know that some people say using CLI from the beginning is best for learning git but the visualisation from a GUI definitely helped me get to grips with the concepts.
>that a lot of people go around saying "yeah, engineers go around thinking they can just walk into field X and study it without context".

That's sorta the point of a degree in the sciences rather than going to a vocational school, right?

It's amusing that people find it arrogant. It is that they're showing a level of competence we're all claiming and maybe only pretending to have? Is it "swim in your own lane" union-style isolation? Is it sneering at nerds for not having the good sense to shut it? Is it inflated egos that still think the things they learned in undergrad were hard?
Can a $310M startup avoid due diligence?
It wouldn't, but I'm not sure that would happen (everyone deciding not to work). Especially if UBI is only enough to live ~reasonably comfortably. I'd imagine a wide spectrum of people, some of which are fine with that level of income and don't really work much for money at all, some people who work part time, and others that keep working because they enjoy it/really want more money.

It feels TBD how stable something like this would be, but feels fundamentally workable. I think you could at the least tune the amount of the UBI until it does become stable; I don't think the only stable value would be $0.
Ask HN: Why do so many geniuses work for evil companies?
I'm talking about most FAANGs, banks, finance...

Why is it that so many incredibly smart people who could literally do anything they want, work anywhere they want, build anything they want, maybe even the next revolutionary unicorns/decacorns, on their own terms, choose to work for companies who are actively choosing to destroy society and have a net negative impact on everyone?

Do they just don't care?

UCEPROTECT-2 and 3 aren't blocklists, they're reputation lists. Anyone straight blocking off those lists has most likely misconfigured their filtering and should expect to be missing mails.

NOTE: By using Level 2 blocking, be prepared to lose a few mails too. DO NOT BLAME US, YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED!
> https://www.uceprotect.net/en/index.php?m=3&s=4

Use of Level 3 for blocking is recommended only if you are a HARDLINER and you want to cause service providers and carriers that have spammer / abusive clients to be quickly and effectively blocked and it does not matter to you if regular email is also occasionally rejected.
> https://www.uceprotect.net/en/index.php?m=3&s=5

This has been the subject of hot debate on one of the popular mailing list operator's lists, and the providers that find themselves in Level 2/3 reliably are working on strategies to deal with that but it becomes complicated to do anything that affects thousands of customers. You'll find the providers that aren't on these lists are the ones that have an equally strict policy for allowing outbound Port 25 from their customers and a severely punitive abuse desk.

IMO, I run a personal mail server and deliver directly and if my mail is rejected or lost then I use another mechanism to contact that person (usually telephone) and inform them of the failure. I also provide usable feedback to senders for why I may have chosen to reject their message. And when it really matters, I also have a relay I can use for troublesome transports.
Sadly this is not nearly as effective as one might like, even with soundex hacks (or Levenshtein distance hacks). When I joined Google they had a class/project for new hires that taught the map reduce system which was to process the complete works of Shakespeare (it is an easy corpus to get online) and come up with an index to extract interesting information or find specific quotes etc. It was a good way to develop an intuition for some of the challenges. Some things that bite you are of course spelling errors and OCR errors and sometimes formatting things (like where a line break ended up). There are strategies for overcoming those (some more effective than others) but as you dig into the problem you can develop a good feel for the complexity.
If you like programming languages content, I link to a lot of excellent papers and blogs from https://bernsteinbear.com/pl-resources/
I think this is a fantastic example of how a) anyone can call bullshit on science if it doesn't make sense and b) there are more and less correct ways of calling bullshit on established science.

You don't need to hop on a podcast or radio show in order to question the orthodoxy of a scientific claim, and in fact you shouldn't if you want to be taken seriously. Nick Brown would have hurt his case had he done that, and instead found a path that actually knocked down a faulty concept in a way that has lasting effects.

This is the process working. This is all okay, and welcome, IMO, though possibly not by everyone involved.
I don’t think this was this simple. This might be true of folk artists (and it still is), but a lot of artists were sponsored either by the religious institution or by patronage. I personally favor state sponsored artists and I do think that our taxes should go into supporting artists way more then they currently do.

However as it stands our current economy does mandate that artists make a living for them self, and while we still live in a world of 40 hour per week minimum wage where most people have little energy and time to work on art/hobby in spare time, artists selling their art with artificial scarcity follows logically.

All that being said, this is not what we were talking about with the Wu-Tang Clan record. Their piece was a unique piece that works as a commentary on how the rest of musicians distribute their art. I look at this more like a fine art piece (or even performance art piece) then music. A lot of fine artists incorporate music with their art pieces and nobody expects them to distribute it digitally (though many do). This is kind of like the reverse of that.

Finally, by allowing our artists this freedom of distribution, we get nice things, including a diverse and healthy art world.
If this generalizes, seems like someone with a graph database, some basic calculus, and an archive of papers citation data could pull the rug out from under entire disciplines, specifically ones that are informing public policy these days. These "data thugs," they seem like what we hoped hackers would be.
You're twisting my words. No one is arguing "for" slavery here.
Are you comparing educations or careers?

It's about opportunity. STEM education providers more career opportunity. Sales and marketing are great examples of careers that STEM educations and technical experience enhance.
I can't imagine poor people affording what would presumably be higher taxes in sprawling suburbs (though perhaps the issue is that there are suburbs in the middle of your city?).

Of course, taxing people based off their cost while also forbidding densification would just be a sick joke.
Some of them are gated, some are just high-value. Remembering visiting some smaller cities in Russia I don't really recall gated communities at all.
OK, I did "for i in {1..10}; do o//examples/rusage.com o//examples/hello.com; done" and the lowest wall time I got was 1,140us, which is a lot more than your 90us for some reason. There's probably something wrong with my setup. Maybe it takes my machine that long to come out of some P-state or C-state sleep mode I don't understand.

Then for my musl-gcc hello world, I did, "for i in {1..10}; do o//examples/rusage.com ../hello" and the lowest wall time I got was 120us. But most of the runs were closer to 350us.

So, my attempt to answer your, "Why does hello world take 1.8ms to run?" question is: a) they timed it with "time" which measures lots of overhead, b) there's something wrong with their setup that means they are mostly timing the time taken for a CPU core to wake up.
I have always been skeptical of religion and think the service that it provided is now obvious and religions are obsolete and no longer needed. At its core is a way to understand the “why” and the “how”. Why should we be moral? Why should I be honest? How did we get here? All of those are can be answered much more precisely and to a much better approximation with philosophy and science without the need for woo-woo beliefs. Sure we should all understand and tolerate religions to an extent but by and large the service they pride is served much better by other sources.
Which doesn't even make sense. Some smartphones have the same specs as laptops and you can do, essentially, everything you could on a laptop or desktop on your smartphone. There's more reasons to include the smartphone in the category of computer than not to.
Salvator Tuesday
I get where you're coming from. But my company issues laptops because that's what developers want. I personally like being able to pick up my laptop and go work in a common area, or a cafe, or take the thing home with me and work from home whenever I want.

> because leaving hardware at the office translates to much higher insurance costs and makes them a bigger target for theft.

Not sure I buy that. Laptop loss and thefts resulting from being out in public must be way higher than the incidence of thieves breaking into locked and alarmed commercial office buildings just to steal computers.

relief packages did not follow one of M.M.T.’s key tenets —
they did not try to account for resource constraints ahead of
time. In an M.M.T. world, the Congressional Budget Office
would have carefully analyzed possible inflation ahead of
time, and lawmakers would have tried to offset any strain on
available workers and widgets with stabilizing measures and
tax increases.

How do you "account for resource constraints"? Decide to not print as much money?

Sounds a lot like afterwards knowing everything better but unfortunately only afterwards .. and then promising to hopefully do better next time. Vague.
