What is the advantage of this design? Its disadvantages are quite obvious, but what use case do they buy?

It would be a different story if append() always returned a new slice and never updated the original data - then, yes, having to assign is the price you pay for immutability and its benefits (as in e.g. F# or Clojure).

But this is not the case here - it's the way it is simply because Go designers didn't see it fit to have a proper abstraction for a dynamically resizable list, and punted it all down to slices (a lower-level abstraction) instead, which the users are then expected to apply in correct order.

I've always wondered how people build such clean interface. One of the best UIs I've seen in a while. Nice work!
Did I say they weren’t? What you’re advocating is for the west to initiate policies that could directly lead to conflict between nuclear powers. The state of war that exists today would be between the breakaway regions backed by Russia and Ukraine. I’m not naive and arrogant enough to think the west attempting to blockade Russia and punishing her citizens abroad is a proportional response to that.
The 'Broader Impacts' section the proposal is a required element for all National Science Foundation proposals (like this one). It need not be about diversity but you need to articulate how your proposed work has "potential to benefit society and contribute to the achievement of specific, desired societal outcomes." So certainly it's forced. In the same way demonstrating the Intellectual Merit of your work is also forced (that being the other criteria against which the proposal is going to be judged).
Having written NSF grants and other grants - DARPA etc. I have won some and lost many. I compiled a few non obvious takeaways:

- Story telling is everything. It seems this is a huge lesson never taught in grad school.

- Technical details sometimes work against you. The author is absolutely right that getting the general thought process across is crucial.

- Who you get on your review committee tends to significantly skew the outcome. Can make or break your chances.

- I have known a lot of groundbreaking work funded by other money for these exact reasons. Sometimes good science is too far afield for people to understand. An anecdote i like from recent times is how Eric Betzig built the super res microscope. Here's the background.

The sad truth is $500k for a career grant seems like a lot when you're in the university, but when you get out and see where else money is being spent you realize how poor academia really is.

That is true of human generated content as well, so I think that makes this a good thing in the long run.
Right, but only political extremists pick and choose the parts that they think can promote hate and ignore the rest - which is what she’s doing by not keeping the Sabbath and not killing those who do not.
I'll preface this by saying that I'm not a medievalist, so I won't try to opine too much on the workings of medieval society. That being said, I think the key difference here isn't between a theist/non-theist basis for rule and law, it's a difference between a conception of a god that is transcendental (a la Christianity), and a conception of (a bunch of) ancient Gods that are immanent (i.e. dwelling within the world). The way you interact with a transcendental god who you primarily know about from religious/philosophical texts is fundamentally different from the way you interact with an immanent god that you primarily know about from ritual practice. In the former case, rules and laws come from attempting to carry out the will of the divine as epitomized by philosophy and scripture. In the latter case, rules and laws and decisions (including decisions like going to war!) are made in concert with gods through the practices of ritual and divination. Is this the only input into the way that societies worked in the ancient world? Of course not. But I would argue the same is true of medieval societies - not everything was motivated by religion either.
I have removed it, thank you.
I want to live near extended family for a while and have another life experience. Living abroad doesn't mean it's better than Canada but that I want to experience something different for a while.

I'll be back ... None of the issues you listed stand out at all to someone born in Canada but who has lived in 5 countries (mix of very rich, middle income and poor). Ok, I admit the housing price situation bothers me.
Are the environments so compelling? before WoW there was MUDs (or MOOs) and they were super compelling and addictive with no gfx, lets call it the "MUD effect". So do the environments of WoW feeling compelling because of the environment, or because of the "MUD effect", and hence everything built on that feels more compelling, including the environments?
Effect systems just arrived in languages beyond research. So it's no wonder that there is research like experimenting in the few real-world languages that try to implement an effect system. Nobody did implement it on a large scale until now!

Scala is mostly only including well known features. At least well known in the research space. Odersky does not experiment much, and is, I would say, actually quite "conservative" regarding language features.

This addition is quite innovative indeed. But there aren't much alternatives matching Scala's needs as this whole topic is quite "new" even in research, and just matured enough to be included in real-world languages. (Effect systems are about 20 years old; which is an age where ideas form research just start to surface beyond research for the first time. Most of Scala's other features—even those unknown to mainstream by the time Scala introduced them—were already tried out elsewhere and well know in contrast).

I'm really looking forward to this feature and hope it will make all the presented use-cases (and some more!) truly possible. Even if I still don't get the whole picture; as capture checking isn't really so useful on its own but instead a kind of enabler that needs to be combined with other features to unfold its whole potential. So I'm already very curious about the new patterns and emergent features capture checking will make possible in Scala which I didn't thought of until now.
Exactly. As I like to say: medics have just discovered calculus. This by itself is actually good, but being completely ignorant of integration is sad. They live in another world.
Yes, there's no way that the EV version should cost $30k more than the ICE version. It's possible to buy a whole EV for that price. It's not like you need a large battery to cover a 45 mile rural route.
I wonder about World of Warcraft and can't help but think its success and place in our culture can't be replicated for a variety of reasons:

-It had a very popular RTS game series that built up the lore, graphical template of the world, and did a lot of world/character building.

-It released in 2004 which was at a time when the internet was becoming more and more accessible such that kids could reasonably get online. (All MMO's are related to internet access but I would argue that the rollout of the internet has no two time periods that were the same)

-It blended the right amount grind/accessibility being more accessible than competitors like everquest but more enthralling and entrapping that successors.

-The appetite for MMO's may never be the same: revenues for mobile games and their ilk with micrcotransactions vastly outweight the market for MMO's. With how gaming has changed, many customers may not give the time to an MMO the way they used to and companies may not see the point.

WoW was a truly unique game in its time IMO
Thanks, it's a bit of an experiment.

I do think the filesystem metaphor can be pretty powerful, and backlinks are also amazing.
I already said s-band (which is 2-4ghz) specifically. BRS/EBS (2.5-2.7ghz) has no meaningful guard band to protect s-band radar, and the radars, at least when used on military vessels, are actually dramatically more sensitive than aviation radar altimeters. And not only has EBS/BRS been operating for decades without any problems, but a) the maritime radar emission/detection patterns are horizontal, just like telecom/television, which should produce more interference than the perpendicular patterns of radar altimeters, and b) EBS has operated for 3 decades using television broadcast power levels...1000s of watts as opposed to the 100s of watts that telecom uses. If interference was actually a problem, the DoD would have shut down those two bands back in the 80s.

Franky speaking, everybody here is talking out of their asses, and just rehashing bullshit that they get told. I'll lowbrow dismissal that all day long because it doesn't deserve and inch more of effort.

Very good point. The prejudice against military people is very real, especially in tech. I took my military service off my resume and unless directly asked about it I try to avoid disclosing it.

Very interesting. I didn't know about these layers, and it's very different to how I conceptualized and tried to use bitmap graphics on my home computer.

I spent a big part of my childhood both playing coinops and also envying their awesome -- to me -- graphics. They looked so far beyond what my C64 and even my first PCs were capable of! To learn they actually ran on quite underpowered hardware was such a big reveal. Underpowered but dedicated, I guess that was the secret.
I think that is a fair summary, but if I can speak for why I personally enjoy Rust, it's because I don't find

>Ease of development tend to suffer

to be true. I'm sure it is true in certain contexts, such as building certain types of data structures, or making GUIs, but for normal day-to-day development work it feels like I'm getting performance, security, and ease of development.
FWIW this was not a remark on relative values of Go and Rust, but rather public perception of them, and how it affected their adoption rates. Personally, I'm mildly positive on Rust, but view Go as a step back in PL evolution.

But also, as far as adoption goes, things are changing. My work environment - which is Microsoft, so "big serious company" - is embracing Rust. There's production code written in it, and there's public support (see e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/rus...). So at this point I would say that Rust should be considered as having equivalent corporate backing and expected longevity.
This is very interesting. I’ve been building an internal system that looks a lot like this for the current startup I’m at.

That's quite different. In criminal law, ignorance of the law is explicitly not a defence.

In contract law, you have to sign up to the contract. One side can not just assert that the other side agreed to some terms unless they can show that this happened.
Although HN has had its share of heated discussion, I think it’s especially prone to discussions derailing due to pedantry. It’s a curious, technical crowd and people in general like being right.

I think both sites have groupthink dynamics to a point that isn’t pretty, HN markedly less so but it’s still present. This is likely a byproduct of downvoting having such an outsized effect on comment visibility.
WoW was basically a Diablo MMO for me, and it had dwarves (and lots of content).
Appreciate the feedback, and totally understand why you would want to see reviews before making any deposits. We are targeting to have review units in a few months, which hopefully will provide some useful commentary on these issues from people besides us. For now:

RE cameras: we're pushing for high-resolution RGB cameras (a lot of existing headsets have pretty low quality/low fidelity cameras). If you aren't able to go for longish periods without taking the headset off (when needing to see your surroundings at least), then we are definitely doing something wrong. For latency considerations, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30445428

RE headset ergonomics & sweatiness: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30442745

Over the coming days/weeks, we're pushing out blog updates which discuss the technical details of these issues (leading up to review units). If you're interested, you can sign up at newsletter.simulavr.com.

Consulting Advice I Gave Myself
They already are. Are you implying otherwise?

The entire aviation community has been aware of this issue and the manufacturers have been working on it.

It's not an exaggeration to say these things take time. "Move fast and break things" doesn't work well with aircraft.
No refunds. You can't demand a refund from a movie theater because you hated a movie, and you can't return a new game to Best Buy because you hated the game. I don't understand why you'd imply YouTube content comes with any "satisfaction guarantee."
Point is the same
CTIA is a lobbyist organization, whereas the technical assessment done by the aviation industry was done by a research consortium. The aviation industry has produced data to show 5G is a problem. What data has CTIA shared to prove that it's safe? To date, they haven't shared any.
You made me laugh - but it is a good idea.
The speed of chemical reactions are usually proportional to surface area. If a fiber with a Li Ion core is exposed to air, the area will be limited to 2 tiny circles from each side of the broken fiber. So, we're not talking about explosions here.

What would be interesting to see, if the fibers work as a slow match or not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_match (basically, whether they keep burning at a slow rate, or self-extinguishing)
Yes WoW definitely was at the right place at the right time. Blizzard was basically the biggest name in gaming at the time. When everyone could get online, it’s natural they would all pick up WoW. It’s unlikely anything with similar network effects would happen now.
Soldering heavy gauge wire is more about having thermal mass in the iron tip than high temperature. That is part of why you can buy different tips - selecting the tip with the right thermal mass will allow you to quickly get the workpiece up to temp without overheating anything nearby.

You can hack it by just turning the temperature way up, but there are a number of drawbacks to doing so. It's better to use the right tip.
Are you arguing that this is an inherent part of human nature? Your comment doesn’t make any sense otherwise.

Could you provide some evidence to support that claim?

I am claiming is that this isn’t an inherent part of human nature, and therefore we can do better.

If you are instead making a statement regarding current state of things, you’ve failed to read the comment you’re replying to
"Up to" is the keyword here. Max hourly rate comes out to be $175/Hour but since it is upto, I assume they could get someone who may want to settle for less.
To be fair, by what I recall 007 and Turok both ran like garbage on any emulator... Unsure if that has changed any.
A lot of the work involves training PhD students to do the research, it’s a big component particularly for NSF funding. So it’s not just the raw research output

And yeah, most professors try to have multiple programs going. This one would have funded one student for a few years

Oh! I should read more carefully.
There is not a boarding time on any airline ticket; you can book a flight for yourself and look at the issued eTicket. Your ticket will only have a departure (and perhaps arrival) time.

Some airlines print a boarding time for their flights onto their boarding passes, or show it in their app. This is often a fake number simply computed by deducting 30 or 40 minutes from your flight's departure time; it's certainly not adhered to very closely or involved in most contract of carriages.

One reason for this is that an airline is usually not involved in issuing all of its boarding passes, and so many boarding passes simply do not have a "boarding time" on them. Air India is perfectly capable of issuing boarding passes for United, but are unlikely to have easy access a "boarding time" from United (since it's not very important).

United makes passenger obligations clear -- arrive 15/30 minutes before a domestic/international departure. Otherwise, it's an IDB.
It would be nice to have a tool that would cross-post
Oh, nobody is praising the other apps? That's true but these are very basic expectations. If you're a chef and you burn every tenth meal then either you or your management are making very bad decisions, even if the other 90% are fine. And app and website bloat seems to be significantly more widespread than that.

The idea isn't that nobody ever tries, it's that the typical amount of trying is really bad.
that's a really interesting find, esp. given the location
Wow, that's a really great point. If we have these sorts of drones helping to contain and manage the allowed fires, in an automated fashion, we can reduce the effort needed to do so, or perhaps even control larger fires.

Maybe I was too pessimistic.
Well, 100% of the emitted radiation hits the ground in terms of total power, but the radar is looking for the _closest_ reflection, which is some relatively small solid angle straight down. It doesn't change your conclusion though, that solid angle is independent of the distance to the ground.
I disagree. I think this is going to be like other work life balance questions. Yes the tone is set from the top but each team is going to interact with each other in different ways. I think it will be difficult for an entire organization to make a hard and fast rule.
Wish I could take a peek at any part of the df source. I just want to see the style and organization.
According to what? To me "boarding time" doesn't mean anything other than the time they plan to begin boarding. Is there actually a policy that passengers must be present by that time?

What the parent quoted seems to be United's actual policy, i.e. that they'll accept any (domestic) passengers who arrive 15+ minutes before departure.
What you’re saying still doesn’t make any sense in context unless you’ve misinterpreted me very badly.

Bad Bunny did some WWE things last year (and this year) and some of my very different friend groups merged for a brief time. Weird stuff.
I’m not arguing with the idea most of the signal gets to the ground, but, I’m worried that you get specifics quite wrong. Planes don’t want a reflection from 50% of the sphere. They want it from directly below. Other land is further from the plane and obscures the measurement.

But they’re not broadcasting to the whole sphere either, because the radar instrument is not an isotropic radiator. That antenna has gain. It’s louder / more sensitive in a specific direction. Probably by a lot. You can’t make perfect antennas, but you don’t need any signal at all from most of the sphere, so you can gain many decibels.

The angle of the beam you do have is probably fixed, and being fixed would imply that the area swept by the core of the beam is indeed proportional to the square of the altitude. But I don’t think two trips through an n^2 distance is n^4 unless I’m missing some of the physics. Shouldn’t it be (2n)^2 and this still proportional to the square of the altitude not to the hypercube? (And affected by scattering and bad reflectivity from the terrain, which seems likely to be independent of altitude?) This is different for detecting random entities in free space where most of the first n^2 trip really is lost.

So it’s like you say but for different reasons??!?!
Eh. Modern political cleavages map very poorly onto seventeenth century religious divisions.

I'm a Quaker. Early Quakers were radical (rejecting the religious authority of priests and the fighting of wars), conservative (looking backwards to a partially-imagined better, more wholesome Christianity of the past), obnoxious (turning up to Anglican churches to heckle the sermon), and disciplined (strong structures in place for the support of families of those imprisoned for their faith, and a communal discernment process that rejected 'do as thou wilt').

Puritans rejected catholic influence on the church, yes, but their focus on individual piety, and their association with the rising merchant class, puts them a long way from freaky liberalism. One of their critiques was that others were insufficiently sober and God-fearing!
Any company with a culture that causes vets to hide thier service should look long hard at their diversity program. If they cannot tolerate a former soldier they are probably pretty intolerant of all sorts of other groups too.

I was walking home one day, in uniform through a rural area, when i helped push a car out of a ditch. The lady driving seemed to recoil at me. But then her husband explained that i was not a hunter, that the camo was a uniform. She was vegan. She has seen me walking through the area in early mornings and thought i was scouting for deer.
I remember waiting years for the RPG they planned and then for WoW.

But I never played it, because of the subscription. I was very poor back then.

In the end I was happy that I didn't. I saw many people fail their relationships and careers because of it.
There’s a parable about a mechanic that spends a couple minutes finding a screw to tighten and charges a large sum once they’re done. It was a few minutes of work for them, yes, but it took a lifetime for them to get to the point where it’s a few minutes of work. Of course, the situation here is not quite that extreme, but acquiring the skills needed to know where problems are is uncommon and nontrivial.
