> I wonder why that rule exists and what benefit it provides. The first couple presidents couldn't have met it, so I wonder when it was introduced.

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President" from section 1, Article 2 of the US Constitution (adopted 1789).

There is some legal debate about what "natural born Citizen" means now, but that has not fully been testing in court IIUC.
Having only one person doing everything reduces office politics but is highly risky.
I use Vue 3 without the new composition api. It looks and feels more or less like the old Vue.

I actually think things are pretty great these days. Even amongst the different frameworks and tools, things are settling into a common set of ideas and concepts.

If you made the choice to build an app on React/Vue a year or two ago, that decision is still valid today and I think that speaks a lot for how far things have come.
It sounds like you’re being sarcastic, but it will be vastly preferable to avoid the bureaucracy that comes with all those programs. Not to mention the cognitive burden that comes from constantly being means tested.
Yeah, that federal deficit surely doesn't need any help getting paid down /s

However, this isn't to say that someone doesn't get the bright idea that they could fund some sort of slush fund with this.
I think the real question is what "usernames" will look like. There were hints dropped that this could be stronger than a typical username (like what HN has). I took a poll on reddit[0][1] to see what people wanted. I was rather surprised at how many wanted strong anonymity. I expected that the top choice would be the weak anonymity, where people just have an alternative to phone numbers. But I think if that's what Signal was rolling out then it would have been here already. So I hope they make anonymous communication available to everyone. I don't expect strong anonymity in the initial rollout, but I hope that is what they are working towards.

As I see it, there are three aspects to protected communication: privacy (no one sees what you're saying), anonymity (no one sees who's communication), and censorship prevention (no one can shut down communication). If we get strong anonymity in Signal then that is 2/3 and would be a great leap forward for free speech _everywhere_. I expect censorship prevention to be the hardest of these to tackle, even with decentralization.

only opened this to find out what the hell sanewashing is. Still not sure/can't find a clear definition. Use real words in titles. (like, even urbandictionary entries acceptable of course)
I'm pretty sure they do that because it's better to send you 1 email with a link to the current state of the item rather than 5 emails with hardcoded and soon to be outdated information.
It would have had to pass through a major news organization's in-house fact checking apparatus.

I know CNN is pretty liberally biased, and blind trust in news organizations is a bad idea.

But I think it's disingenuous to say that "government documents and quotes from primary sources" on a tiny Substack hold the same weight as information that goes out on the nightly news.
I meant the @gmail.com versions of those apps.
I never down voted or flagged the post where you defended rape. Stop being triggered and posting false narratives.
How does one store data with Unikraft? This is the problem I hit with other unikernel projects. OSv seemed to support ZFS or NFS somehow but I couldn't quite figure out the documentation. I can't find any references to storage at all for Unikraft.
Right. I agree. Some people here have no idea how politics work. It's rife with theater, pantomime, misdirection, and mis-framing debate in order to win.

People with this much wealth start competing to up their position in the world's richest ranking. And, when you're #1 in the ranking you work hard to keep that ranking .. and so on and on ..

Me, I would just retire if I had a fraction of that, or so I think since I'm nowhere there ..
I have this non-scientific intuition that interest rates should generally be slightly above the dividend payment rate of the S&P 500 (or maybe Russell 2K). That way there's less of a clear choice between equities, bonds, and other assets.
Yes in "Galois Field" arithmetic. But GF(2^8) (or whatever) arithmetic is only in AES and a few other ciphers/hash functions. SHA-256 looks like an XOR / Add / Rotate kinda cipher.
CZI's meta home page says that meta - the research arm - is sunsetting in March. Not clear how that will affect their funding plans.
It wasn't luck, it was a well researched and well played short squeeze with a gamma squeeze before that. I made my money on the gamma.

I used to be a trader (series 7 and 63) and knew what I was doing.
Yes, exactly this. All that's needed is to tell senders when a message wasn't received after X hours.

You don't have to figure out if the user uninstalled. This also happens if they get a new phone and don't re-install on it, so relying on uninstalls wouldn't work anyway.
It’s somewhat true in the sense that banks need to keep some fraction of their deposits in cash as reserves (the “reserve ratio”). So if they lend money it needs to be backed to that extent by their deposits.
Worth noting that major frameworks have yet to update for Vue 3. Make sure you check all your dependencies before embarking on that course. I like Vue 3 so am finding this seemingly slow adoption to be a real pain.
You continue to make some good points, but at the end of the day, this is a government function and responsibility, not that of a private company. Login.gov can use the same AWS services in GovCloud as ID.me uses (Rekognition, available since 2017 in GovCloud). With USDS and 18F, it cannot be argued GSA (which Login.gov falls under) doesn’t have the skills available to build this capability.

This is a call to enhance Login.gov’s identity abilities, and US government citizen identity management in general. Login.gov (and perhaps USPS for in person proofing) should be funded to do this, not ID.me. Higher level, this is about building strong public goods and defending them.
I think it’s a bit of an outdated stereotype from back in the day when this kind of frameworks started popping up left and right.
It was a major shift from jquery-based sites/apps which scared many people away from diving deeper into front end. Nowadays you can stick to one of the major three and you’ll be fine for the foreseeable future. This new Vue version is the most disruptive change we’ve had since a long time ago in the fe framework space and it’s still ok to get used to.

Well, there's a reason why civilisation is built upon private contracts and the rule of law, and not upon unenforceable agreements between individuals. It's because, even though none of the solutions may be perfect, one is clearly better than than the other.
Oh yes I pay for Colab - didn't see this linked from the other page, or rather wasn't sure where to find it in the various notebooks. This is exactly what I was looking for - setting up to do a run now. Thanks very much.
If you're talking about the Q3 net loss figure, I already mentioned downthread that a good chunk of it was due to the Didi stake write-off. This is kinda why I mentioned the rideshare industry talks so much about ebitda; the equity side is so leveraged and volatile that it overshadows the operations numbers at this point, despite not actually having all that much impact in day-to-day operations.

I think a lot of people got a bad taste from webpack, gulp, etc. projects ~5 years ago that immediately mired you in deep config complexity to do anything. Nowadays there's a lot more documentation and emphasis on zero config / convention / CLI tooling to remove a lot of that complexity. Things are a lot better nowadays, especially if you're doing something greenfield and can use the latest tooling like vite, esbuild, etc.
> What's worse is that I fear there are incentives (mostly political/security interests) to keep the field small and to keep many people far away from this very practical use for all these beautiful, elegant, simple (but extremely abstract) mathematics (refering to the entire cryptography field).

I mean, everything you want to learn about crypto is available online, in libraries, in textbooks. Including differential cryptoanalysis, the theory behind these mathematical forms (Galois Field makes things _EASIER_, not harder actually. That's why CRC-checks and Reed-Solomon codes were based off of Galois Fields, and AES being based on GF(2^8) is to take advantage of those same properties).

What has happened is that the "old generation" of programmers is dying out / retiring. And they aren't passing on their knowledge to the new generation. The "old generation" of programmers were high-math, abstract algebra and more, while "new generation" programmers just never bothered to learn this stuff.
I haven't tried this yet but I'm sure you could coax GPT3 into describing images as part of an illustrated book, then feed those into one of these generators.

Vue 3 perhaps is ready but not its ecosystem. Important libraries (like form management) port to v3 is still in alpha. It was one of the most painful development experiences because of that.
I recently had to sign up for login.gov (to renew my Global Entry, after they moved away from their own one-off CBP login system) and was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. Hopefully the TreasuryDirect.gov folks migrate some day
I sent you an email, but all I can say is please come to Switzerland so I can work with you guys :-) Everything I've seen so far looks quite awesome.

Two questions:

1. Are you implying you are using deep learning heuristics for weighted set packing? Assuming you can't share too much about your IP, did you have a regulatory or business need to deal with worst-case performance guarantees and (how) did you manage this if you did?

2. It sounds like a lot of your stack is OCaml (I'm a fan, 2nd most fanboyed language after Rust and it's a pity it's not more used), is this a deliberate choice or a "grew out of a research project in formal verification where they like ML" consequence?
The whole matter is about the recent developments in discourse norms, not gender per se. It's not like males are really any less likely to appeal to emotion as part of political argument; they just frame the appeal differently, as pointless machismo rather than 'tears' (which can at least be post-hoc rationalized in many cases as an appeal to the norms of care and empathy, popular on the 'left' according to Haidt's research on moral foundations). Much of Trumpism is ultimately an appeal to emotion.

(Edit: And this comment has just gone into negative territory because I dared point out that conservative politics also appeals to emotion. Way to prove the point, I guess.)

I'm appalled because it depicts the Chinese deliberately hurling the virus towards us. Considering the context of the other posters, widespread Covid conspiracy theories, and asian hate crimes skyrocketing, do you see a more benign message in that poster?
True, but possibly it's everyday for people who use it for commute in the morning. It's avoidable by choosing where to live but sometimes it's hard to move from bought house, or move entire family. I wish remote work getting popular even after covid.

I think it's entirely possible and really not even that hard to "fix" Facebook. Zuckerberg seems more intent on pivoting to nonsense like Portal and Metaverse with no actual foundations. It's Zuck getting bored and letting his ego ruin a cash cow that can easily be a force for good in the world if they just tried. I think the only way this ends is with Zuck losing his job as CEO. He tripped up the stairs for 15 years and now thinks he is a visionary.
Ask HN: Where do you save interesting links?
I've tried Pocket, which kinda sucked. I've tried maintaining a .txt on my laptop, but that makes things hard to search, format, and transfer onto my phone. I've even tried making my own app, but there are a bunch of features that I want which I don't want to spent time coding up.

What do you guys use to save links?
It's interesting because the US also has unconditional jus soli citizenship (if you are born on American soil, no matter what your circumstances, you are granted citizenship). Nearly all major countries in the Americas have jus soli citizenship, but very few countries outside the Americas do.
Unless there is some language in the purchase agreement/terms of service that specifically prohibits extracting the ROM, you are in the clear. I highly doubt such language exists.

But who cares? You purchased the software, you can do whatever you want with it, and going this route is already going above and beyond what most normal people do, which is pirating the ROMs.
And then it will become "old", exactly like Django/Rails feels today and the wheel will be reinvented with something "better" and more complex.
Interesting. I take a protein supplement with a lot of L-glutamine which I need to fast for, as I believe is traditional for amino acid supplements, so I'd have to carve out another time of day to make sure I'd take it on an empty stomach. Is that right, is that what you do? Worth considering anyway, though, thank you
As someone who programs on backend, frontend, and Android apps, I can't agree more. Javascript frameworks and NPM hell is terrible. You rarely have the problems in Go/Kotlin/Java world that are considered normal in the NPM world.
Greece could claim copyright, in the same way that France claims exclusivity on Champagne.
This might have been useful to me in early eighties high school, I had a class in which I had to write book reports, once per week I think, and there was a sort of template as to how they had to be written with analysis of character motivations etc.

It's been a long time but I found something about the critical methodology used just extremely insulting to any piece of literature it was applied to, reductive and harmful to actually appreciating anything, so despite reading a minimum of 4 books a week I decided to write fake book reports. Generally crappy science fiction and fantasy was the genre.

I only remember one fake book I wrote a review of - The Hinterlands of Horlon - a crappy Tolkien rip off with a quest and everything, written by James R. Canton which was also a role playing character name I had for some occult spy game I was in at the time. Fake cover art would have been a nice topper to the fraud.
Ask HN: How to create, run and grow a community?
HN is filled with people from different walks of life who have done various stuff, so thought of asking here :)

To give you a background, I am a second year CS student and I am thinking of starting a community (probably in discord) for catering to people who are interested in open source and hackathons (and development in general). I have seen too many people in engineering getting intimidated by development in first year and hence they only work on their leetcoding skills (and poor projects down the line). So the aim is to have a community that welcomes newcomers to the hackathon space and also open source space.

How would you have started? And if you have experience in building communities that are non-technical, you can still chime in, it would be amazing to listen to you.

Also can any kind of service be built around this community?
He wants to become chancellor of Austria? Or just parlay that relationship into another citizenship for his collection?

But that Hetzner storage box isn't redundant, doesn't do revisions, automatic sync and backups, etc. without some time spent on it.

Hands down, the best Flexbox tutorial I've ever done.
I feel the same way about Angular. There some minor bugs that have had open issues for 5+ years and may well never get fixed, but by and large the day-to-day experience of writing and maintaining code is pretty great.

I just don't get the concept of people being like, I'm going to start a project that's likely going to take the ten years to become successful, but I'm not willing to spend the twenty hours to read the documentation so that it will be successful.
That looks like a great app. Thanks.

Thank you, that’s very kind to say.

So many good books in this thread already. I could suggest though:

Hagakure - Yamamoto Tsunetomo

Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind - Shunryu Suzuk

For something lighter I like anything by William Gibson or Neal Stephenson. The Quicksilver trilogy is great as is Anatheme.
Also highly recommend the sibling game Grid Garden for working with CSS grid layout: https://cssgridgarden.com/
Mathematics & philosophy aren’t sciences because there are no hypotheses, experiments, and results; it’s just thinking and logic.

It’s still incredibly valuable and the basis of many good things.

I would also add that engineering isn’t only working with existing scientific knowledge; we were building steam trains and optimizing them long before we started doing scientific thermodynamics.
"number go up", they are obsessed with a high score and having more than others playing the same game.

It would be sad if it were just that, but the fallout effects so many.

I like the idea someone had that beyond a certain point you get a big party to say you won capitalism then the rest of the money you earn goes back into society.
Wait—when you're using Signal, it resorts to using your whole-phone contact list when, say, you want send a direct message? That would be... not great UX, with my personal use of my phone contact list (mostly for people I barely ever message, contacts I'd never message but want to have a phone number and/or address down, or relatives who don't/can't use anything but SMS)
I generally agree with you. However:

Real ID validates that you are the person you are at the time of issuance, but does not guarantee that the possessor of the ID is that person. This stems from the fact that an ID is "something you have". Like any secure system, you should use multifactor authentication. The facial scan is "something you are", so the combination of ID and scan provides that. One might also use "something you know", such as your adjusted gross income (AGI) that the IRS used before.
Melvin and 2 other institutional investors held almost all of the shorted contracts. They were extremely over-promised and got caught out doing it. That's why the squeeze worked in the first place. They could have exited early, taken the initial loss and walked away. The WSB crowd would have picked up a small profit and it would have been done. Instead, the smaller institutional shorts tried to hold and got crushed.
But that is very different, every company owned by shareholders starts behaving in exactly the same predictable manner. However as long as the founders controls everything the company behaves as the founder wishes, it could be good or even worse than what you'd get with shareholders. On average it is probably the same but for an individual company it still matters a lot.

> By everyone's understanding of the words, C does not have a runtime

What? But we both just agreed it did.

The way I understand these words are that C is a language, and a language is different from its implementation, and implementation is dependent on hardware. I understand that a runtime is code that runs when a program starts, in order to enable its execution. Is this not your understanding?

Let me put it this way: if C is inherently fast as you, why can you take the same C source, put it into two different compilers, and get two different binaries with different performance profiles?

The answer is because the language itself has no bearing on speed, and it all comes down to how a language is compiled. So I still wouldn't say C is inherently fast, but I would say that C's design lends itself to compiling fast binaries for Von Neumann style machines. That of course doesn't preclude compiling just-as-fast or even faster binaries from other languages, e.g. Rust or C++.

> You can play with definitions and hypotheticals; it does not change the facts.

I'm not playing with hypotheticals. JPUs are a thing; I linked to the Wiki page. Natively compiled Java is basically GraalVM: https://www.graalvm.org, which I think pretty much proves the point -- it all comes down to the compiler. Garbage checking is also an implementation detail. You can even run a garbage collector for C if you want.
The ecosystem largely settled out in 2014 when everybody was "javascript fatigue" complaining. The developments since have mostly been refinements on details of the development setup or state management. There's new stuff but I'm pretty sure anybody who wrote React at the time would be comfortable with the slight modifications in the patterns of how things fit together.

We're kind of into the next generation of frameworks (Solid, Svelte 3, Vue 3) and that's more about how much JS is getting delivered to the client. The current area of exploration is "partial hydration" where the goal is to write stuff using the component model but do server rendering and only send JS for the parts of the page that'll change client side. For quite a few classes of application this would substantially reduce the size of JS over the wire. All this is less of a benefit than the state control React brought so I expect slower/partial adoption.

More broadly, there's been a resurgence of the render everything on the server and send html diffs approach in the form of alpine and htmx. The other potential area for change on the horizon is web assembly getting host bindings support so it doesn't have to bridge through JS to affect the DOM and other browser APIs.
