I generally tend to use enumer[0] to generate some boilerplate code that can help with addressing this, e.g. the below would compile, but would error at runtime. There are probably linters out there that could catch this. With Go, linters are generally pretty good at catching this kind of stuff.

package main

import "fmt"

type Test int

const (
T1 Test = 0
T2 = 1
)

func main() {
t, err := TestString("T1")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}

TestSomething(t)
}

func TestSomething(t Test) {
fmt.Println(t.String())
}

Having said that, it seems weird to have to mimic enums, as opposed to actually having it. Doesn't feel like it would add much complexity, if at all.

Like Dennett in "Consciousness Explained", both of these authors seem almost entirely focused on what we are conscious of rather than the fact that we are conscious of anything at all. Their descriptions of their work are all centered on the question of what it is that we actually experience. This is is a fascinating question, and entirely worthy of investigation.

But it is not the same question as: how is it possible that we have any experience at all?
No. Did any democratic society take the concentration camp approach for HIV? Or COVID, for that matter?

Again, the UDHR asserts a variety of rights. You're correct that Article 23 asserts a right to employment, but the apparent desire to read that as the only provision in the document appears to be a motivated one. The document lays out other rights, which naturally may be in conflict with each other at times, a fact that is explicitly acknowledged in Article 29.

I don't object to disagreeing with Victoria's balancing of the various rights, but I do object to the assertion that it's somehow a clear violation of human rights for them to prioritize the rights to life and health over the right to employment.
First four are solid, the last one though forgets that you can call your CC company and have the transaction canceled. So the upside of finality with cash is a downside here, be it damage/loss/theft all your cash you had ($10-$10,0000) is gone.
Where I come from, eating bear was not considered taboo. Many places also with sharks. I'm not sure what kind of response you are looking for, but "thou shall not kill" is a pretty universal rule in all societies around the world. I think the onus is on you to explain why that rule should be broken. For instance, going to war to stop tyranny could be a justification.
My favorite read on this topic is Consciousness Explained by Daniel C. Dennett

He's a philosopher who has spent a lifetime thinking about this problem, informed by the latest science of the day. Plus he's an excellent, lucid writer. He is a materialist, optimistic about being able to have as-satisfactory of an explanation of consciousness in the future as we do for life (no "élan vital" needed).

You can make notable compression gains by using a simple 7z self-extracting PE file on your already-static golang binary. In some cases this can yield another 10-50% savings in binary size. For environments where fresh startup time are important, then I would skip that as it does add some unnecessary overhead before your app comes to life. If you need something smaller than that, you're looking at writing c and building for your target arch.
> And you can use scare words like “3000 corpses a day” but that is propaganda.

You're confusing emotionally charged, high-impact words with propaganda. Having a policy of talking about the dead in a sterile detached way is also a rhetoric choice that affects perception and is just as much "propaganda" by your own standard.

What you're calling "propaganda" is "using words that make something sound more serious than I think it is" or "using words to make something sound less serious than I think it is."

> Only reason I got the vaccine was I had no reason not to.

That's the reason I wear a mask.

> You are free to continue hunkering down in fear. But kindly stop forcing others to cater to your fear.

The only thing that's being asked of anyone is to get vaccinated, wear a mask indoors, and stay home if you're sick. The first two cost you nothing and you should be staying home with any illness anyway.

> Get your vaccine and move on.

I have moved on, except for wearing a mask when in close contact and having to show proof of it for large events, life has literally gone back to normal.
I see your point. My personal opinion is that sure the bot can't be trusted, but that when GME will give the updated numbers of registered shares, there will at least be 2 official data points on this subject... Depending on how high it is (only a minority of outside-of-the-US holders had been able to DRS as of October 30th, not the case anymore), we'll either get an estimation on when a full lock-up of the float would happen, or a new cycle of trying to find the next catalyst ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yea and no - companies don't mention every possible risk they can imagine, they mention risks they have thought of that seem credible - everything else is covered in more generic clauses that amount to "life is unpredictable". If they called it out, someone believes it to be a potential risk, but
does not mean they think it is likely to come to fruition.
I think both are expected to have empathy. It goes south when one of them doesn’t have empathy for their -1 because they get the benefit of the doubt from their +1 in general.
Look at it from the merchant's perspective: If chargebacks are easy and the middleman (PayPal, etc.) tends to side with the buyer, would you take the risk of putting up your goods for sale? There is a tradeoff here.

This is a large reason why many cryptocurrency vendors online require you to use irreversible payments (cash, wire transfer) to buy crypto, in order to match the finality of crypto transactions.
That wasn't exactly what I meant. What I meant was

- as of right now they are different, and clearly distinct, and it's actually important to unlearn thinking of a const as a var, because they don't do the same thing in practical terms

- that proposal would muddy the distinction.
Not sure if you're trolling or not, but it's hard to say really, given that their current stance is to just agree with tory policies and not really have any of their own. It's more the fact that any socialist policies they did have prior to Starmer have gone.
You have to be careful to distinguish between freedom for distinct communities and freedom for individuals within communities. Pluralism doesn’t necessarily go hand in hand with individualism. Quaker society was quite rigid when it came to enforcing norms and social order within communities, against individuals.

Similarly, Singapore has broad freedoms for its distinct ethnic and religious groups. But it aggressively enforces social order as to individuals.
Similarly, "Be your own bank" gets construed with "run your own checking account". Banking is much more than a checking account. Banking is interest, loans, credit, investments, and other systems that are far more complex.

I do not get the joke. What do you mean?

Suppose now somebody threw in that expression seriously. Would not that be an admonition to learn the tables and learn each element properly (do, check, memorize; do, check, memorize, check, check, check)?
The problem description is as big or even bigger then the code ouput. What happens when you dont describe the problem correctly, isnt that a big pitfall?
> Otherwise, why not create a little coop bank with like-minded people?

The problem isn't the bank organization itself: it's the money that you deal in. Regardless of your bank structure, whether it's some typical commercial bank or some kind of cooperative association, you're still left holding a fiat currency that is inflated on a whim.

The beauty of crypto (and especially Bitcoin) is that there's either a fixed amount, or at least the rate of change of the money supply (inflation) is at least perfectly transparent and mathematically provable.
I've been studying consciousness recently, specifically the question of how physics can explain it. It turns out there is a Strong Emergence theory, which physics shows only consciousness as proof. I find it a fascinating theory. It is strong emergence if "The whole is other than the sum of its parts."
So far I've not seen any comments that consider the wider context of the location in speculating what the aircraft may be.

Specifically, this aircraft is on the D1 taxi-way of the isolated EXTREMELY tall hanger 25 (H25) [2] at the south end of the runways, away from almost all other facilities.

Hanger 25 and the E1/D1 taxi-ways connecting it can be fully appreciated in aerial photographs [3] looking north published by dreamlandresort (DR). The hanger has direct links to both runways - the primary 14/32 (via taxi-way E1) and the short secondary (unmarked) 12/30 that only serves category A or B aircraft (via taxi-way D1).

Back in 2014 as hanger 25 was being constructed there were ground and aerial photographs that revealed the hanger's large size and especially its height which could accommodate a Boeing 747 tail rudder. There was much speculation [4] that it may support a project that has a mothership with 'parasite' aircraft attached.

It may be what we're seeing in this new imagery from Planet Labs is a 'parasite' flying-wing aircraft.

It's possible, based on remote location on the airfield, that this facility is supporting an ultra-high altitude or space launch system (think Virgin Galactic style). Mothership carries the parasite aircraft to a high altitude (taking off from runway 14/32) before it is released to climb to a higher altitude or possibly into very low earth orbit (100km+ altitude).

I earned my stripes continuously installing various Linux distributions and breaking MBR on the shared family computer. There is an infinite amount of things to explore, from the different distro’s and window managers, to all the various open source apps. Lots of open source graphics tools and games.

Old hardware is fun too. You can build a “top of the line” rig from hardware that’s a few years old and continue to iterate and play with it. Then again, I find things like setting up a ZFS pool to be fun and therapeutic, most kids might not share this sentiment :)
The interesting bit is not the sensory input. We mostly know how the sensors work and how they are triggered.

The fun question is, what exactly is connected to those sensors and experiences them and where is the location of that thing?

It's like we're sitting with a VR headset in our brain, playing that game we call life. But, where exactly are we and how is that headset connected to our sensors?
Respectfully, you have a new account on HN and if it lasts another month before dang shadowbans you I’ll be shocked.

You’ll know it happens when people just stop responding to you.

I have showdead turned on and I shake my head as people post comments for years never knowing that 99.99% of people don’t see their posts and comments.

As for my cryptocurrency background I mined BTC with a GPU when it was very profitable. My ETH mining rigs are doing their job while I’m posting on the Internet as you say. I have no problem profiting from it while recognizing it’s a total and complete scam.
Dear HN,

This is a simple benchmark to compare SIMD and non-SIMD WebAssembly performance using showcqt-js [1]. Please wait a moment until the benchmark completes, indicated by avg entry (w = avg, h = avg, r = avg).

name = standard, calc = 450 us, render = 1692 us, total = 2141 us
name = simd, calc = 244 us, render = 484 us, total = 728 us
firefox:
name = reference, calc = 508 us, render = 2522 us, total = 3030 us

The viruses listed by parent aren't spread sexually, though they are all herpes viruses.

EBV is also known as HSV-4 and gets to 60% plus prevalence in children, 90% in US adults. If there are populations with especially low prevalence I'm not aware of it.

HSV-1 which causes mouth cold sores is present in 50-80% of people, also easily acquired in childhood. Only 20-40% of infected people get cold sores so most infected people don't realize they have it.

Chicken pox/shingles is also a type of herpes virus with well known massive prevalence!

Genital herpes is just one of many types of herpes viruses that affect humans.
`-f 'bestaudio[ext=m4a]'` is also an option - m4a is somewhat more widely supported than opus.
I wonder if it might be because US datacenters are older and were not built to the same scales as newer datacenters.

I can also imagine that the local datacenters are just the equivalent of 'last mile', serving only that which needs to be handled directly, and data is passed asynchronously to the US for larger scale processing and analysis. Makes more sense if they have better (or cheaper) datacenter personnel in the US, or if things like equipment, electricity are cheaper over there.
It's one thing to rebuke. It's entirely another to purposefully belittle motivations. It's worse still to do so based on nationality, which is absolutely what was done here. It was crass IMHO
I think the person you are replying to agrees with you.
Mostly agreed - they went bust and/or withdrew from contracts, and yes pandemic was an issue, but these companies were also getting huge amounts of public money (Gov was typically buying the trains), and the infrastructure/rail element has been properly nationalised for a few years now.

The idea that competition can have any real meaning on a highly constrained and contended single resource - like railways - is a bit laughable, so the market doesn't really offer much opportunity for optimization. Equally though, the old British Rail was nothing to get excited about. We just don't seem to have a decent economic model for running loss-making services with positive general externalities for the benefit of society.
In the past few years, McDonald's (and some,
but not all, other fast food restaurants)
really seems to have gone all-in on the
price-discrimination approach of setting
list prices high and offering all kinds of
discounts if you know where to look.

Not that this is exactly some secret but a while back, it was explained to us (by somebody reasonably high up the org chart at McDonalds) is that the sandwiches themselves were money-losers, but that fries and drinks were essentially pure profit. (Thus, the birth of the infamous "super size it!" promotion)

They reallllly don't want you going in there and just buying sandwiches.
It's true that there are many more choices to make for a JS SPA compared to RoR but isn't this just a fixed cost? Pick once and then stick to it. Use the same things for your next project. Done.

I'd venture to guess that for a RoR newbie, it takes just as much time to understand the 'glue' (I've heard people refer to it as 'magic') that makes it all work together behind the scenes.

The energy sector is already dominated by the government. They set the market, set regulations, and determine if new power stations can be built. For offshore wind they own the seabed and give development rights. Any nationalisation would still have to depend on the same kind of expertise that already exists in the industry. They could how new developments are financed and use national debt. But beyond that I am not sure it would actually make much difference.
I know this isn't the point, but you do realize that the IQ is rearranged to fit a bell curve with 100 being the exact middle average, right? By literally the definition of IQ, 100 IQ is not "an idiot".
> To put a finer point on it, unless physicists can provide a materialistic explanation for entanglement or wavefunction collapse, we're still very much in an ethereal, immaterial world.

Maybe the lesson of physics is that the material world is not like how we might imagine it, based on our everyday intuitions. If you accept that the world is not moving and not flat, that bodies continue in motion unless acted on by a force, and that Lorentz transformations represent the relationship between different inertial frames, then you already accept things that are counter to everyday intuitions. Hopes for explanations that are not ultimately grounded in "that, as far as we know, is just how things are" might be wishful thinking.
I agree with other posts that it's unlikely, but hey - they really are good at shooting themselves in the foot. At the moment to comply with laws requiring "account deletion", I suspect they are doing some kind of automated reading of developers/advertisers privacy policies (or having them poorly read by humans) which results in false positives, which would be fine if it were just a first filter. But they're then disabling the apps on that basis, which is insane. This happened to us yesterday:

Hearing that this distribution of parties exists somewhere is great to hear. It's a proper baseplate for improvement.
Good timing. Outlook decided today to switch me into dark mode, presumably because it detected I have a dark-ish theme set in my Windows Desktop, for quite a long time now. Outlook must have updated itself and added this "auto-detect" dark theme thing.

Outlook didn't ask me, and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off normally. Instead, I had to set it to the "white" theme, which I don't think is the same as "disable auto-switch to dark mode".
Actually, yes. [0]

I have a simplistic view of such things: follow the money. Does Goldman Sachs really feel that Clinton speeches are worth the tens of millions they have paid for them? The reasonable explanation in my mind is that it is a quid pro quo. People don’t spend that kind of money without getting something in return.

Tom Delay and K Street are proof enough of high level corruption and paybacks for enacting certain policies. Obama wouldn’t have ever afforded a $5 million house in D.C. until he became President. I might be overly cynical though.

So then rather than it being the EU that shrugs its shoulders, it'll be the US that says "meh", and continues on its merry way of surveiling any and all it feels necessary.
That's definitely not why they pay Mozilla. Being the default search engine in a browser that a minuscule percentage of the market uses, and then the vast majority of those only use because they're hostile to Google, isn't worth shit.

If I go to my bodega once a month to spend $80 on sticks of $2 incense, it's because I'm buying drugs.
Agreed. As I said in an above comment, getting 100X of resources and choices is NOT a good thing. You need VERY knowledgeable adults to guide the kids. TBH most parents are not prepared for this, let alone many of them are deep into the rabit hole themselves.
US Income vs US Cost of Living tells a different story. The income rose 55% more than the cost of living:

It isn't handwaving. I'm saying the act of observation is not special. It's matter knowing it's matter. "Observation" and "knowing" are simply emergent behaviors of the matter. There is no divine step between matter and consciousness. I'm saying there is nothing to explain because consciousness should not be viewed through the lens of it being special.
If you're thinking about an edge where you have less than 3MB of storage space, and likely very limited in-memory space, you'd probably still be better to go with C. These kinds of environments are becoming very small % of use case over time. Usually such resource-constrained devices & systems have their own build system or crutch libraries built in to help reduce binary sizes to this scale. It is against golang's design principle to make a language that requires external frameworks/libraries to run. As it is, you can build your golang app, send it over an ssh tunnel and have it running on the remote system without much thought at all.
> * Transactions are final. The merchant has no risk of chargebacks.

To be fair, all of these are American oddities. In Europe where people mostly use debit cards and neither chargebacks nor returns for functional goods bought in store exist, all of these are true for card transactions. Only the privacy point remains.
> Javascript has such a minimal standard library, you will need to get one or three third-party libraries to augment its core

Maybe 5-10 years ago, there is no need anymore

> React is an excellent view library and nothing more. You will need to get one or three third-party system to turn it into a fully fledged web framework.

Depends on your needs. Small app? React on its own is enough. Larger app? Add a router. That’s basically it. If you want a centralized state store, you can pick one of those up. It’s really not that difficult.

> Frameworks like Next.js are good enough to create a static page, but as requirements grow more complex, its limited feature-set and lack of in-depth documentation will feel like a prison

I don’t find any of this to be true.

> Dev tooling is non existent, so it's on you to get and _configure_ a linter, type checker, testing framework, bundler, etc

You mean there is nothing built in to the language itself? Yeah, that’s a feature in this case. We wouldn’t have the amazing 3rd party tooling if it did. The JS tooling ecosystem is amazing and getting things setup nowadays just takes one command.
At least you have the choice to do a non-standard transaction where you give the cash without having received the product. Standard cash transactions involve receiving the product at the same time as the payment, or before.
Or as some like to call it Consciousness Denied :)

Because the guy who was Treasury Secretary at the time was given a job at Citi Group a short while after the repeal, and Citi was the company that a) violated the law, and b) benefited most by its repeal. They were also the ones putting enormous lobby pressure on everyone, throwing around a ton of money. The repeal was bought and paid for.
