Thank you very much for for detailed response. Now I understand where you are going with it. It seems very powerful and would illicit endless expandability. Because I have not thought about modelling it on such abstract level before I am left with some questions as to how complex a model this leaves. I do not know if I am too locked in OOP-land but I like that with this thinking, you can have a SSN table for instance that references this ID and limit access to it on that level instead of having to scramble parts of tables for instance. I can also see it being useful for endless additions of tables that can relate to that ID.

But I cannot fully comprehend in which scenarios this would be a clear winner and which it would add too much overhead. There is something to it though, so thanks for opening my eyes.
It's a generally good idea though, website screenshots (and thinking about it now, animations) from test automation is another similar task.

Not quite standard practice, though some people do bits of it here and there, but both probably should become so which would amortize the cost over lots of cli tools.
Funny, never had a problem with it, even across countries
> The C11 and C++11 programming languages expose a weak software memory model which was in many ways influenced by the Alpha.

What this doesn't mention is that the software memory model for systems languages like C++ should pretty much be as weak as possible, to be able to generate good code on platforms that range from strong to weak. If the software memory model is weaker that your hardware's, it just works, because the compiler will know whether hardware reordering is possible. If it's stronger, getting optimal code generation is pretty much impossible, because you're forced to take the stronger semantics, even in places where you don't need them.

My understanding is Y Combinator was always about people, on both sides, it’s also far more than just PG. if you haven’t read it, read this that Paul wrote about Jessica Livingston, it’s a brilliant insight into how they invest and how important the people around PG are at informing their investment decisions:

http://paulgraham.com/jessica.html

The point is he doesn’t make investment decisions based on a traditional business plan or balance sheets. That’s all he is really saying in his tweet, for a popper insight read that post.

The only feature I would pay for is a cloud sync service, at maybe a few bucks a month, I don't use proprietary stuff much.

My minimal feature set would be:

* Android and Linux support
* Sync
* Open Source
* 100% reliability. No lost notes because you switched to a different app without saving.
* Heirachal organization, bookmarks
* Markdown or equivalent power

I'm currently using Drayer Journal, a custom app I built in Kivy when I got the bad idea to build a notes app in Kivy with a P2P sync engine, before remembering how much I hate small time "One author one user" software.

I think the P2P sync engine protocol part has a lot of potential, and it's very hard to find anything equivalent, but Kivy is not the best choice, it's a bit hard to work with, slow to open, and still pretty new.

> Some of the happiest people I know have dropped out only a short distance.

One of the greatest problems with the concept of “just dropping out” is the attachment to the idea of happiness. Happiness being one of the most oppressive demands of society and yet the narrowest of requirements.

Would be interesting to live in an environment where happiness wasn’t the primary goal. That seems like true freedom and entirely compatible with dropping-in or out.
I think that is an important fact to know considering the confusion in this thread.
There are people commenting that pg surely can't be a genius because this or that he engages in isn't ethical (to them).

But that's the thing, the IQ says absolutely nothing about ones ethical responsibility or the amount of empathy one has.

It is purely measuring "logical thinking ability". Things like "continue this sequence", "recognize a pattern", etc.

I also often see this dangerous assumption that ones political opponents or everyone with a different opinion than the one which seems most rational to ones own must be "stupid". In reality, the problem is that we focus on something as (arguably) unimportant as the IQ, which measures only something very narrow.

Another misconception about IQ is that those who are more poor or have less favourable job positions must have a lower IQ. To give just one counter example to that, very often, people who have some sort of handicap (ASD, ADHD, etc.) are also "gifted", have a high IQ, are good when it comes to logical thinking. But their handicaps still make their lives more difficult in general, so they face more adversity than someone who is "normal".

Sorry that i wrote a wall of text, was just thinking out loud.

In my personal opinion, the IQ is already a little dangerous, because it assigns a "value" to a human life, but that is an entirely different discussion.

Huh? How does that follow? I don't think so. Seems at least as likely that "the government" is just collecting and codifying some of the populace's pre-existing norms.

Large amounts of the standard library are deliberately lazy so don't actually allocate at all.
Exceptions however do end up using the GC, but there is a flag to work around that.

Libraries that don't use it at all are available. At work we have a large library, being a hedge fund, that must be consumed from Excel. This means it cannot use the GC because [reasons], it's not a particularly big issue.

Garbage collection is not a bug, by the way. It's one of biggest productivity wins D has over C++. Performance is often as near as makes no difference identical, only you now eliminate all memory safety issues without thinking about lifetimes.

D also has very nice composable allocators in the standard library
I don't see how this affects their reliability? It is a community sourced overview, that partially relies on info given by virus scanners etc. It just shows the info it has, which in this case seems useful and correct?

The linked report says 30 "scanners" found an issue. That site in turn has community comments explaining about being careful with the installer because of adware being bundled.

Right below the warning about the report is a notice saying:
"Bundleware
The default installer contains Opencandy. A version without it is available in the Download page."

I use alternativeto.net mostly as a way to not google "alternative to x", and have to go through the junk results. I check out the top free / open source alternatives, read the comments, and visit their pages to make up my own mind.

Yes. The proof of block n's validity proves both that the state transition from block n-1 to block n is valid and that the previous block's proof was valid. The arithmetic circuit for a state transition proof actually encodes a program which verifies SNARK proofs (in addition to the less academically interesting "doesn't create $ out of thin air" sort of rules). The proof of the latest block at any height (which is all the state you need to know you're on at least a valid chain history) remains constant size because of the indirection of proving that a verifier accepts the last block's proof without actually including it (taking advantage of the fact that a zero-knowledge proof doesn't have to include or even reveal the data it's proving something about).
Cool experiment and a good demonstration of why neural networks are not a good fit for problems that have a discrete logical structure.
> it's pretty clear to me ... deficient intellect

What?!?!?!? I clearly stated it: sound amplitude has nothing to do with it - that can be a source of torture, or may not: it is the shape and duration of the sound.

If you thought that this 'torture' can be compared to other experiences through a dB value, you are not entitled to write about deficiency.

Be informed: certain noise is a nuisance with one wearing white noise inside earmuffs over earpugs. That abates decibels, yet can make the effect even worse.

They have not «went on to explain how the particular sound profile of the wind turbines» because it's not needed at all, you do not normally need to convince the public: if you yourself do not believe that those things are a nuisance, go listen to one! And even if someone played "bearable", you know: that's your feeling, go live or just stay near one if you want; others have passed by them, remained in shock, and now avoid them, with some relative difficulty, because there are territories around the world that do not offer that much space left, which increases the fear as "deficient intellects" are all around and many voices has raised lately "let us multiply those turbines", which translates to some as "let us adopt silver bullet solutions which are popular: let us give the public what they want", "careful what you wish for" for "deficient intellects".

If a speaker is naive in thinking that the public can receive a message, that is not even 'intellect' at fault - it's 'outellect'. The inside may work very well, it's the outside that does not duly reflect expectations.
I don't think they're public - it was just a narrative business plan (under a section titled business plan) required when an insurance company submitted an application for a license to sell insurance in the state of Alaska. Each state has similar requirements (NAIC model law).

For the task of building there aren't many cross-platform abstractions which :

- is easily boostrappable

- works on OS without any kind of POSIX shell

- allow to extract, download, create file / directories in a cross-platform way (cmake extracts 7z, zip, .tar.gz and friends on every platform with a single command)

- allow to quickly parse and generate code with regexps without having to fight with whatever difference between versions of perl, rename, etc. there are on the host system

- does not require "quoting" every flag or source file (seriously, this is just a pain in most more recent BS)

- just works with everything that can be thrown at it and accommodates the project's way of handling dependencies instead of trying to impose its own

- easily allows to find dependencies on systems with no canonical path to look for them

Suddenly xonsh from a sibling thread doesn’t sound outrageous anymore
There are actually practical uses for ed in shell scripting. For example recently I had to recover my entire website from the internet archive because covid reasons it's a long story.

So I went to the internet archive, downloaded almost all of it (all of the stuff that was there), put it through lynx, to text and from there created markdown.

So at some point I had 100-ish files and I wanted to put some yaml at the top of every markdown file. While playing around with how I wanted to do this at some point I needed to make some changes. I was faced with needing to do certain simple edits in the yaml front-matter of every one of a very large number of files.

Now you could just make a vim/emacs macro and run it on every file and that would be fine, or you could use ed in a shellscript. Something like this:

find . -type f -name "*.md" | while read f ; do
ed "${f}" <<__DONE
1,^--g/^foo/d
wq
__DONE

done

So what have we achieved? We deleted lines which start with "foo" but only from the top until the first line that starts with "--". (ie in the yaml). That range address wouldn't work in sed, or not as easily. We can also do things like insert a line just after something or whatever. These are tricks that are worth learning, and everyone who does unix shellscripting should have "ed with a heredoc" in their bag of tricks.
I think it's a phase.

I remember there were a lot of powerpoint presentations that did this back in the day as well, along with "clipart" cartoon noises with every transition. It's really fun to produce a presentation like that, but everyone collectively agreed that it was pretty tedious relatively quickly.

That's not what the Snowden leaks showed, nor what scandals about e.g. some $BIG_CORP employees stalking their acquaintances via their privileged accesses demonstrated. E2EE on Signal means I don't have to trust that some employees won't abuse their rights to access my data. Do you even know how many people could access your Telegram chats if they wanted to? Just look up "stalker facebook employee", this is not some theoretical scenario.

You're basically saying you and others have "nothing to hide". This argument has been repeated and debunked ad nauseam, if the whole literature against this stance hasn't convinced you yet I don't have more to convince you now.
I, for one, hope that HN never becomes this unmoderated hellscape many people seem to want it to be.

Unfortunately, only the worst members of society seem to frequent these types of forums, and that isn't a coincidence.
That's a good point IMO and that's why I still find nomnoml my favorite https://nomnoml.com/.

However, nomnoml is more like UML tool than diagramming tool like OneModel. So a big issue could be how to keep all the icons in the text format. With SVGs, the file would be big/or would include some extra assets folder, or with the links directly hosted on OneModel, the file would be tightly coupled.
Good catch, forgot about Zig. Although it doesn’t have a fast bytecode VM dedicated for running comptime, Andrew has stated that it will achieve CPython-level performance once the self-hosted compiler is finished, so things might become better.
