>>We go there to make noise about how the world could and should be a “better place.” We go on Twitter to noisily call out strangers...

>Do "we"? I certainly don't. A few product updates, feature previews, giveaways and that's it for me.

Yeah, this is really a self-inflicted problem. I'm personally a left-wing partisan but I still don't see this problem on my timeline because I curate it. It's maybe 10-20% political topics, but it's ones I care about like war and apartheid, not constant noisy call-outs. The rest is people talking about work, media they enjoy, what happened in their day, etc.

While there's a lot wrong with Facebook and Twitter (especially the things the algorithm decides to force on you), if you use the Twitter chronological timeline, you're seeing the people you chose to follow and the content they post. You can even disable retweets if you find that someone you value is RTing stuff you don't want to see. People need to learn to do everything they can to avoid pointing the toxicity firehose at their own faces.
Well if a billionaire controls a public square, I wouldn't consider it a public square.

Edit: one thing that bothers me about HN is the context-less downvoting. I wish people would reply with why they're downvoting. For me, it wouldn't be a public square because it is privately owned, it would be more like a shopping mall or an amusement park. Just because a shopping mall has free admission to the public doesn't mean it is a public space.

Complicated or not, it's necessary that optimizations do not break correct code.

There doesn't seem to be a problem (UB or otherwise) in the first function at the top of the article, but the second one has a clear aliasing problem that violates the promise the `strict` makes. That translation was invalid.
It’s funny to me seeing everyone in this thread acting like tinnitus is the worst shit ever and they’re suffering everyday. Look up Meniere’s disease. It can be so much worse.

And yes, I understand that suffering is relative and that there are worse things than Meniere’s disease, thank you.
Why is it acceptable for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to own and control online speech, but not Elon Musk?
I am confused by how an impatient driver would put you in danger with this law… the law says that you should treat stop signs as yield signs, which means if there is already a car stopped ready to go forward, you would have to let them go first anyway to yield to them.
They keep raising money. Might as well hire more and pay better. I'm blown away that after nearly 2 decades, search is effectively unfunded at this company.
I had pretty severe tinnitus. Getting religious about earplug usage at music performances plus getting musician-specific hearing protection pretty well put it into remission. Cymbals with no earplugs are specifically the worst.

There is a weird new trend of redefining "free speech" to mean "speech that doesn't offend me".
Some psychedelics are more unpredictable than others, and incidentally these seem to be the ones that are hyped the most. LSD is much more predictable than mushrooms for instance, and is well researched partially because of that. The seems generally true for synthetic vs naturally occurring substances across the board, though there are plenty of horrible synthetic drugs like bath salts, synthetic weed. Advocates seem favor this as it allows them a no true Scotsman defense. “You didn’t get real ayauasca”, or with cannabis the hand wavey talk of the “entourage effect.” The biggest problem facing psychedelic research are the researchers involved. They have little credibility, almost like that’s their intention.

Went through something similar. Here are a few things that helped;
1. Drink plenty of water when you wake up.
2. I had muscle stress issues and I got a PT and chiro to help with that. Surprisingly once the muscle issues got better, so did my mental state.
3. Walking around 1-2 miles a day. It clears up your mind and if you don’t have a working exercise routine this can be a great way to get you to go out.
It can be ruled out, but most scientists (especially in social sciences) suck at statistics, so they don't know how.
Given that some of his products are state subsidized, it seems a bit reckless on his part to upset partisans. On the other hand, he's made it this far in life without my advice. Either way, it is popcorn worthy Internet drama.

If you’re asking us here in HN, then it’s very unlikely that you have the sort of negotiating power required to get any sizable company to approve a customized set of legal documents relating to your hire. Changes to the standard set of hiring paperwork often require multiple managers and lawyers to sign off on it. For most positions and candidates, the effort isn’t considered worth it. You can certainly ask, but don’t be surprised if you get a hard “sorry, but no” in response.

If you were being hired in as a VP or CxO and were extremely well known, that’d be one thing. But only a few people have that sort of privilege and clout.

(Disclaimer: I work for AWS but am not involved in the hiring process other than interviewing. My views may not represent those of my employer. Opinions are my own.)
Being “not lazy” isn’t the same thing as being “fine.” What it means is that the problem is with the game, not the players.
I've never heard an anti stop sign opinion before. I don't know what to think.
Can we write a law where cyclists cant ride on a main thoroughfare when there's a perfectly good side street a block away?

The amount of times I've seen traffic backed up for miles behind one exercise man, on a MAIN ROAD, when there's a perfectly good barely used road, literally ONE BLOCK away.

I'm all for being considerate of bicyclists but that goes both ways.
Ukraine is at war with Russia? Surely not, do you really think this 'special military operation' might escalate that badly? In any case I don't believe there are any NATO troops currently in Ukraine, not officially anyway.

Western military aims in Syria are not to change the regime, they're just to support allies and suppress enemies like IS. There is no way US operations in Syria could possible be described as seriously attempting to topple Assad or drive Russia out of the country, that's simply not tenable. As you point out, US and Russian forces, when in the same vicinity, backed off from each other.

As Ukraine amply shows when one side, either the west or Russia, heavily commits militarily to a country the other side limits itself to interference operations only. That's been true ever since the Cuban missile crisis. Nobody wants a repeat of that.
One approach some recommend is single file headers, which are self contained libraries that require nothing more than an include most of the time. Search "single file headers" for more info.

Package managers (haven't tried them) and vendoring (checking into source) are the other approaches I know of.
1) I don't recall much outrage over Amazon's Jeff Bezos, a billionaire, buying the Washington Post; nor that the Atlantic is owned by Steve Jobs' widow. Nor the many other cases of rich and powerful people owning media properties.

2) Is it really that much of a "public square"? Since only about 22% of USA adults are on Twitter; and 80 percent of the tweets come from 10 percent of users (thus 2.2% of the USA population). see https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2019/04/24/sizing-up-tw...

Could it be more that the noisy journalists are on Twitter, but the rest of us don't really care all that much ... ?
Point 2 is a simplification that borders on wrong: you don't "wrap around if it's too big" - the point operation will always cross the curve (except for the zero point)!

You "wrap around" because you're using a finite field. As far as I understand, the finite field of the scalars allows you to have an inverse for the multiplication, and the finite field of the points is there to make the calculation easier.
> Get a box somewhere, serve you static content

Good luck having a VPS 'box' that has an uptime record of 10 years. I know through personal experience that your VPS instance will go down, no matter how much you try to mitigate that. There will be bots and bad actors either trying to DDOS it, or trying to brute force `/wp-admin`.

You could go for some obscure CMS to try and thwart that, but you run the risk of having vulns in that software because it doesn't have the eyeballs of vanilla Wordpress. You could always go for the shared hosting approach but the caveat being: there is no guarantee the shared provider will provide 100% uptime either. (And it will go down at the worst possible moment, like during a HN hug of death)

Your best bet is to have your content distributed and mirrored across multiple services such that any attempt to take it down is impossible. I would go into details about that, but due to op-sec reasons I won't. Tip: Plaster your content all over the web such that a removal of one piece of content does not affect the others.
I disagree. This will be one of Silicon Valley's missed opportunities. Anyone who unlocks the potential of those users and of developing economies has the potential to create immense value.

By the way, my point is not that they will contribute to crypto, but rather that their integration into the Internet ecosystem will require new technologies, new platforms, and new solutions to social problems so far divorced from what SV is used to dealing with... that there will be a market and a need for platforms and technology in those regions/demographics. To ignore that is to ignore billions, potentially trillions, of dollars of value.
Surprisingly, endowedhosting.com was available, so I bought it. If IA or comparable ever decided to offer such a service, I’d happily hand the name over to them.
Yes, roundabouts make a lot of sense and I support them. However, how do you deal with the last mile?

For example, here is a stop sign. Would we convert this to a roundabout as well?

Maybe the problem is we have too many intersections?

It happens with any subgroup. Bad apples spoil the bunch and all that. Heck, a lot of bicyclists in this very thread make the same complaint about car drivers and act as if they're all a monolith who only care about running down as many bikes as possible, even though at least some percentage of us do try very hard to be safe and considerate while driving.

Somewhere else in this thread, bicyclists are complaining about cars who specifically try to wave them on to go first. While I can understand why this might not always be what they want, this seems like a generally good situation - the car driver is aware of the bicyclist and is attempting to do the right thing by indicating that they've noted the presence of the bicyclist and also trying to be courteous. I've done this myself from time to time and I assumed I was being a good driving citizen, but perhaps I was wrong.

I would hope that we can all agree that there are a subset of drivers who are reckless and dangerous, and there are a subset of bicyclists who are also reckless and dangerous. We have the same issue with boaters, personal watercraft, etc. Aircraft might be slightly better because of the high barrier to entry, but reckless pilots exist too. In each of these cases, the bad ones tarnish the rest.
Really? That's amazing - how does that happen? You just happen to do it right in front of a cop who then flags you down?

Just curious: you mentioned SSH. What is currently the optimal way to setup vim/neovim over SSH and carry all your configuration over with you to different servers?
I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago in the 70s. Our house was on a corner.

The city decided that just about every uncontrolled intersection should have a stop sign, and for busy intersections, a 4-way stop. It happened that they put in the stop signs in the winter. We had a few weeks of entertainment watching out the front window as car after car was caught off-guard by the new stop sign. They'd try to panic stop at the last second and of course slide right into the intersection.
I'm happy this is the case for you, but this is not everyone's reality. If you have no friends and family post-college, socializing during work is the only thing preventing you from going into deep depression.

Very common example of how this can happen: Moving to another country for work.
> If it were taxed only when realized, that would make sense.

The tax man does not like this. They like wealthy people to always pay something, each year. Hence, property taxes, so it can siphon off something at least. Also, why we have the alternative minimum tax schedule to prevent stock compensation to be used as a means to avoid taxes.

The little old lady _is_ wealthy, a speculator effectively. She owns a valuable asset, the land her home sits on. The fact that she moved there 30 years ago, in your scenario, gives her an inherent claim to that asset. It's because of that same view we basically have Prop 13.

Land value tax is a radical statement, in that people should not be able to profit from the value created by the community, of speculation basically.

Your scenario highlights nicely how that causes friction with some of our innate sense of right and wrong. Deferring taxes to sale, may be a way to address this, but if history is a guide, it will instead create avenues for tax dodging.
The video gives a great explanation and demonstration of the problem and solution. At first I was thinking "Now bicyclists are allowed to not follow the rules of the road?" After watching the video, it makes much more sense and I'm on board with it.
Well, effectively looking at human history that's seems to be a common pattern, but since we have evolved from caves to the stars... I hope things might be different now that we can have far more wealthy people and far more people of culture than before.

Surely a certain cohort of citizens will always be unable to improve much, that's part of natural selection, but the size and nature of such cohort vary, actual regimes, both westerns formal (not substantial) democracies and classic eastern/southern dictatorships seems to consider 99% of humans as farming animals...

I have encountered various kind of people, some really hopeless by nature, and NOT necessary poor (just yesterday a friend, reasonably middle class, with a comfortable life and a nice job asked me what I think about a "revolutionary investment scheme", a classic Ponzi's one so badly presented even a little child smell the stench miles away) but others are just trapped in social organization while having a formal potential the society fails to let them develop. Nothing is perfect, of course, but from perfection to the actual state of things...........
Depends how young you look, and carry yourself, is the honest truth.

Washington State (where Amazon is based) has a law invalidating non-competes in situations where the employee's W-2 compensation is $100k or lower. I would assume that this means lawmakers intend for them to be enforceable in situations where earnings exceed $100k.

I wish new drivers were taught that making unexpected moves is a safety issue. Maybe they are-- it has been nearly 30 years since I had any drivers education. Given the wildly unexpected stuff I see other drivers doing, though, it doesn't seem like they are. (I guess this falls under the heading "defensive driving"...)

I assume assume all other drivers are drunk / sleeping / texting / etc. I'm very alert when I do anything conflicting with the "default" behavior other drivers. My suspicion of drivers goes up about 10X when I'm riding a bicycle on roads.

Point being: We've got a bike path here that crosses a fairly busy state route at the edge of a town. Drivers coming into town don't slow down (even though the speed limit changes way back at the city limits and well before the bike path crossing).

When I'm waiting to cross, invariably, some "do gooder" driver coming into town will stop and motion me on. Meanwhile some driver behind them, not expecting someone to be stopped in the road (and going too fast), ends up braking hard to get stopped. I'm not going to put myself in front of that.

The "do gooder" usually doesn't want to "take no for an answer", either, so I end up having to sit for much longer than if they'd just done the correct thing. In some cases I've even gotten exasperated gestures from drivers, apparently miffed that I didn't take advantage of their "charity".

(I'm actually surprised at the amount of squealing tires I've heard, given that anti-lock brakes are on virtually every car on the road.)
I expect post-2020 is the majority of the data given Reddit's exponential growth. But definitely pre-2020 is more valuable.
> They're a relic since Russia's war in Chechnya where those cages could protect against RPGs fired from buildings in narrow city streets.

USA sent IIRC 3x as many "dumb" RPGs (the AT4) as Javelins, assuming that the Ukrainians would be fighting in narrow city streets.

Turned out that urban warfare didn't really happen much. But... I think everyone's plan was for urban combat, and then everybody turned out to be wrong. On the USA side, not a big deal, we sent the wrong mix of weapons but we're fixing that with lend-lease / additional aid packages.
Amazon are struggling for engineers lately. There's a good chance if you just don't sign it they won't bat an eyelid.
> Because only a psychopath kills or poisons political opposition.

Poisoning opponents is actually customary in Russian politics. This isn't one man's psychiatric condition; it was Soviet policy. Stalin created units dedicated to the practice.

Rasputin apparently survived a cyanide attempt.

Ivan The Terrible poisoned three of his wives to death.

Putin is an admirer of Russian customs; it's not surprising that he favours poison.

It's easy for a layman to bandy-around terms like "psychopath". He may be a psychopath, for all I know; but I think it's much more likely that he's just a boring bureaucrat, promoted far beyond his abilities, and obsessed with a perverse view of Russian imperial history.
Not only I wouldn't trust that, I'm sure they wouldn't if they think the only reason is lack of VC money.

There's no need for VC money to unleash creativity and create cool things, this is just the author blaming others for their inability to hit whatever weird creative standard they set for themselves. "If only they'd let me I'd change the world". The things that cognitive dissonance can make you believe are incredible.
What, where is this? That seems crazy to tell two people they have the right of way when their paths cross.

Here in Los Angeles they solved this problem by just never giving turning cars the right of way with a protected arrow. You just have to wait in the intersection until the light turns red and then turn.
> This gets really interesting in the blockchain space, because Miners (Validators) decide the order of transactions

Traders use exchanges. I always thought *coin transactions are too slow to execute at trading speeds, so exchanges somehow buffer transactions using their own pools without ever sending your request to the network at large.

This seems like a great way to get cyclists run over.
Some Land value taxers would exempt improvements. however, in practice, it is very difficult separate the hypothetical pre-improvement value from market value.

Imagine trying to asses the value of a modern farm today for the hypothetical where a connecting aqueduct had not been built 70 years ago.

Exempting improvements also undermines the argument that LVT puts the land to it's best possible use.

When you improve land, the best possible use is now different. ostensibly, that's why you improved it in the first place.
Disclosing such a non-compete to a potential employer is such a dumb move that it’s pretty obvious why they would withdraw their offer.

Not because the non-compete is scary, but because the potential new hire is clearly an idiot.
So what are the uncivilized countries you're talking about?
Not at all! I use a "gravel bike", which is sort of made for this kind of stuff (slightly relaxed road riding position, more aggressive weight balance towards rear, wide tires, beefier frame, plenty hardpoints for water). A road bike would suffice with wide enough tires (probably at least 38mm). The surface is mostly packed pea gravel, but there is some clay dirt streches and some spots that are "Kansas Road" grade... meaning chipped/rutted chert/limestone.

A mountain bike would certainly work but is overkill. The upright riding position of a mountain bike catches a lot of wind and you'll expend a lot of calories/water inefficiently, and they're not made for low rolling resistance.
Seriously, there's no benefit to sticking with one environment. The right tool for the job. If you're doing Java for instance, no version of vim or emacs comes close to the functionality of the popular IDEs. With vi perhaps you can type more efficiently. With a good IDE, you can develop far more efficiently. For modifying bash scripts on remote machines, vim all the way.

There may not be many “big and professional” operating system projects but, at the hobby level, it seems that there is a lot of interest in kernel dev actually.

HaikuOS, SerenityOS, Redox, and ReactOS are all going strong. The BSDs continue to advance as well. Redox is written in Rust even.

I believe Google sees Fuschia as a true Linux competitor.

When you say “we should just throw away the kernel entirely”, what are you suggesting?
Being rear-ended is one of the most common accidents for cyclists and motorcycles. When I rode in California, it was less of an issue because I was between cars side to side, not front to back. I felt much safer there than I do in Iowa where I'm forced to queue behind cars and hope the people behind me see me and stop for me. That combined with the much shortened riding season means drivers also aren't as aware of motorcycles and cyclists as they are in areas where people ride year round. I literally rode everywhere in SoCal. It was my primary means of transportation. I ended up getting rid of my motorcycle not long after I moved back to Iowa because of those safety reasons.
