Shader language squabbles and throwaway accusations aside (for my own purposes I don't really care about WGSL, since there are transpilers back and forth to other shader languages for native use, but loop/continue is not exactly an example of some crazy unprecedented language construct), Metal isn't a cross-platform standard of any sort. It pretty much explicitly exists so Apple can control it (it would be nice if it was Metal-on-Vulkan instead, but I think that ship has sailed). I don't really see how the existence of Metal is a relevant example of what I'm talking about: a portable modern graphics abstraction that is efficient on modern hardware. It's just not true that there are a bunch of those out there, when you're talking about production-quality stuff there's basically just WebGPU.

Even if your argument was that Vulkan was supposed to be that standard (which it isn't in practice), Vulkan is pretty much impossible to use safely without building a higher-level abstraction on top. It was desperately in need of a standard higher level API that programmers with limited resources (i.e. not Epic, browser vendors, etc.), or programmers who need to run in sandboxed environments (mostly browsers) can reasonably target, and I think WebGPU serves that purpose nicely. Exposing Vulkan (or DirectX 12, or any similarly low-level API) directly to browsers would have been pretty much a non-starter from a memory safety perspective, WebGPU does not exist solely because Apple didn't like Vulkan.
The "cabin overheat" is the thing I'm surprised hasn't become standard requirements, it can be as simple as rolling down the windows or as complex as a system of fans.
While there have been a couple of good replies to your perspective already, I’ll just point out it appears you forgot to introduce a novel mutation in them first.

Yeah, "crypto is great because it allowed me and my co conspirators to do illegal things" isn't gonna be the most persuasive to governments or above-board businesses -- love the rebellious spirit though.
Hi. A combo of Enterprise CRUD software and SaaS.

I use Docker/asdf to run 3 different projects so the memory and hard disk space I use add up to quite a bit.
I just want to say that I really appreciate the writing style in this article. I consider crypto a highly-politicized subject, but there are ways of talking about such things without getting political. Specifically:

But I also think that these proposed solutions are enormously attractive to people who see them as a tangible option in a world where these problems are not being solved—where we are being failed by our political establishments in so, so many ways.

I may disagree with the author about where to place blame, but I think saying "political establishments" is more authentic than "the government". At least in the US, it's We the People. We're the government. So when I hear anti-government sentiments, I generally start to discount whatever it is that the person is saying. Especially in this era, when the main problem is concentrated wealth in private institutions and corporations, who unlike the government, operate outside of election oversight. Meaning we can't throw them out of office when they do wrong.

And that's been my main concern with stuff like crypto. I feel the sentiment that the political establishment often lets us all down. But rather than creating an anarchist playground in crypto to get mathematically free of regulation, maybe it might have been good to put some energy into getting involved politically and solving the actual problems. Vote, raise money for non-establishment candidates, run for office, all that stuff.

The long game for crypto looks like any other unregulated game: winner takes all. Perfect wealth inequality. Whatever edge I think I may have to skim a little capital out of that pool, would only end up being used to exacerbate inequality as I take from someone else. Which is why I feel that the original goal of crypto to empower people (by bypassing the rules of the system) is only going to backfire and make things worse. Just like with trickle-down economics, the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act or any other policy that claimed it would enrich all but only enriched some.

We don't fix the evils of the system by feeding from it. We fix them by paying into the good, getting involved and doing the work.

So says the marketing, usually pushed by those with an agenda with WebAssembly, forgetting about all those that trace back to the early 1960's and mainframe language environments with capabilities.

Lets sell old stuff as something new, never done before, rewriting history.

Just realised this will make it easier for tools like caniuse. Instead of listing all features, they can just have "webgpu 2.0 availability"
You are basically saying "these GNU people only produce things that are interesting for people into software stuff. Don't give me a C compiler, give me Visicalc."

It's not because this is not "real-life" enough for you that it means that it is not worthy of being done.

Depends enormously on a persons tolerance. Lemmy (from Motörhead) used to drink a bottle of Jack a day with no noticeable effects. This is probably not recommended though.

I think though if you get severe side effects from drinking a bottle of wine (beyond a hangover) then you should probably not do that, speak to a doctor and continue to not do that until a doctor tells you otherwise.
Bingo. The fact that performing routine errands such as food shopping requires a multi ton machine accompanying each human indicates the contributing failures here started long before the specific incidents. Another good book on the topic is Normal Accidents by Charles Perrow.
Your position isn't in a good place if your argumentative strategy is to search out bad motivations in those who disagree with you, rather than laying out a positive case for the position itself.
I think the point is, if it's generally accepted culture in the community then others will be mindful as well because they know what's going on.

I don't think they said they've had problems with Macs. They simply said their intention is not to use Windows or Mac OS. To me, that still leaves room to recommend a Mac.

You can also still run godoc locally. It's deprecated but they at least upgraded it to work with generics.

It still does a couple of things better locally than the replacement does, which can also be run locally. godoc provides an index of all your packages within a project, which can be helpful rather than having to remember what it's called (browser find is very helpful), and if you change the godoc for a given package, godoc updates upon refresh whereas pkgsite either requires a restart or the passage of some timeout I've never waited for.

There is also certainly something to be said for godoc producing just... a page. No expand/collapse type hierarchy, nothing that interferes with browser find, nothing that breaks your spatial intuition about where things are. Just a page.
Forget anyone who says just use a Mac or Windows. They probably haven't used Linux in awhile because most of their "issues" don't exist anymore.

My experience: Ubuntu and Fedora "just work" on almost any machine. If your hardware is super new use the newest version or beta for the first release cycle.

I used to have a ThinkPad, now have an Acer Swift 3, both "just worked". Dells seem to be good. System76 of course. Razer sells a dev machine these days. And so on.

Tip on maintaining battery life: charge from 20% to 90% and don't leave it plugged in, use appropriate brightness, realize that GPU heavy stuff, multiple monitors, etc... all use more battery. Stay away from discrete GPUs unless you know you need/want them, integrated is fine for most gaming these days.
Only drawback of P14s is battery which you can't upgrade, otherwise great to have an AMD Ryzen with 16 cores and 48 gigs or RAM.
How do we know stories like these are not made up for the thrills of those posting them, or "internet points"?
If you listen to the police scanner in towns with casinos (or even just video poker machines in convenience stores), you'll quickly learn that people lock their kids in cars all the time so they can get in a few minutes of "gaming," which too often turns into many many hours with the child locked in the car alone. And yes, often they die.

I worry that if "dog mode" as it is becomes widespread, it will give the negligent parents an excuse and means to feed their addictions.

I'd be happier if dog mode automatically called 911 after xx minutes of a living creature being left in the car.
> collapsed tunnel / ocean rescue / rehab

Two of those things are something society can choose to not do. Can't necessarily ignore a collapsed tunnel in certain areas, but the alternative of banning an activity can be removing responsibility of rescue.
Honest question. I have made some changes lately and get the feeling that I probably could have multiple casual partners. I would like to see what it's like, but always abandon the effort due to concern for potential partners' feelings. Even if there's no explicit commitment beforehand, there could be unstated hopes for escalation to a monogamous relationship, or even just mismatched expectations about sleeping together on a regular basis or PDA's.

I have heard womens' accounts of sleeping with "highly connected nodes" like you, and their tone is generally casual to the point of being almost dismissive, as if they could clearly see in advance that there would be no escalation. However, the one time in my life when I did have a one-night stand, even though we had an explicit conversation about expectations beforehand, my partner harbored hopes for an escalation and the whole thing ended in a really devastating way.

Do you do anything intentional to prevent hurt feelings, eg have a frank conversation or look for or send certain emotional signals? I probably am "on the spectrum," so more pedantry than normal would be helpful.
The driver was pretty simple. When a CD was inserted, it checked for a watermark and if there, returned pseudo random sectors of data. To play the CD on PC required using their software player. The software player had the ability to rip the CD to .wma files and this was how you were supposed to use the CDs. This only affected playback on PCs. CD audio players played the discs as normal CDs.

I never thought it would prevent piracy. They said it was a success even if only a small percentage are stopped by it. I didn't believe in the software but I do believe in copyright so I took the job. The software was put together by 4 guys on a shoestring budget. It's amazing it worked at all. People read into this and think big Sony/BMG money but in reality it's tiny contractors. Some of us were doxxed back then and was a pretty horrible experience all around.
> Do people not regularly question what language to use when starting a project?

Nope. We've pretty much settled on Go for backend, js/react for frontend.

When you have a team of people all on the same page, randomly picking languages is a nightmare. Johnny wrote service X in Rust/Zig/D before he left for FB, now go fix it. That's a lot of developer time wasted for probably zero gain. Plus we have mountains of old code examples, modules, etc you lose in switching.

In fairness, if however I were a solo dev, I probably would more often explore and evaluate new languages.
They mean the output of JIT compiler, not the binary itself.
I think I can see what you're getting at with your last post, but you might also want to work on the coherence of your written English. You are writing based on the spoken word, which doesn't lend itself to reader comprehension (in English).

As an example:

> You think of a term, that's what you may think of, this is the realm in which you are supposed to think.

That's more of a series of phrases than a sentence, which is also a common characteristic of computer-generated text.

All this is combined with the allusive nature of your posts, which will set off "conspiracy theorist troll" or "AI-generated" alarms everywhere it goes.
> This is, in my opinion, a product of personal vehicle dependant society.

Because no children would ever die in an accident involving public transportation?

We could just call it an accident and not try to dig too deeply into societal problems to explain it. A little perspective: 3.6M babies/year are born in the US every year. 15-20 accidents like this occur each year. Tragic, yes, but it's not even remotely close to a trend that needs some underlying explanation.

A better solution would be to queue and cron it.
I also consider the field of languages, but I’ve worked at places where it’s just Python or bust because the “senior” engineers only knew Python and were intimidated at the prospect of learning other languages. I think they had a C++ class in college and thought that all other languages must be similarly complicated. “Pointer” is a curse word in some circles. These projects did not go well because they were computationally intensive and “rewrite the slow parts in C/pandas/multiprocessing/etc” predictably doesn’t work (spend more time marshaling data than you save from C/parallelism).
Require? I thought in most US states it was a recommendation, not a regulation.

Admittedly, CA is one of the states where it is a regulation, and there are a decent number of people on HN from CA.
Active signal blocking / jamming with electrical devices are illegal in the US, but passive devices like signal-blocking wallpaper and windows are entirely legal.
backwards-facing car seats for small children are way worse if an airbag triggers, because the airbag basically directly hits it and fires the seat backwards. They should only ever be used if the airbag is deactivated.
This has been done to death in other threads.. mozilla's raison d'etre today is as a lighting rod to prevent real competition to google. Follow the money, and why the mozilla ceo gets big bucks for performance that's against mozilla's public goals - they are instead meeting mozilla's private goals.

Your raising a discussion about mozilla in a brave thread plays right into mozilla's purpose of muddying the waters for actual competition against google. Please don't derail brave discussions with off topic stuff.
Thank you. I figured there was a more official list out there.
Some vehicles have a specific method of disabling the passenger seat air bag. Outside of the desire to place a baby seat there, some passengers may have a medical condition such that their risk of death is higher if the airbag deploys than if it doesn't.

In most jurisdictions, it is still illegal to put a baby or very small child in the passenger seat. I can't speak for anyone else, but in my own case, I think the risk of forgetting to turn it off when a child is riding in the front seat is going to be much higher than the risk of forgetting my child in the rear seat.

That's really the calculus: How is it that we think we could forget that our child is in the back seat, but remember to disengage the air bag every time we put their seat in the front?
> The organizations I've worked with has usually judged a language based on itself, not what the current developers know, as learning a new language tends to not be overly difficult

Can you say more about these companies, and their long term successes with these tools?

For example, I worked in the same place for 5 years now, and we picked a new language for a project someone wrote largely themselves. I supported them on it, they left, and now I am stuck maintaining a deprecated version of a language I don't know, on a program of middling code quality written in a non-idiomatic fashion without many useful comments because the author themself was learning and hacking along the way.

I think for someone like you to say something like this and also say "freelancing/consulting" is a red flag, it's really easy to recommend "this language will work for this project", have the prototype work, get paid, leave, and not see the long term effects of throwing another area of required expertise onto the laps of the poor people stuck to maintain your decisions.

This could probably be mitigated by a combination of algebraic effect handlers and session types for effects.

Algebraic effect handlers let you dynamically (re)define how effects are handled for a given piece of code.

and

- session types for effects, that would let one specify protocols for effects (i.e. a HTTP response handler would not be granted access to the socket, but would be allowed to use dedicated effects: `statusCode`, `header`, body` and `trailer` effects and would not be allowed to use them in a way that violates HTTP. Session types let you check that at compile time.
> gold standard would force governments to be financially disciplined, right?

This is such a weird belief. Is the claim that prior to the 20th century there were no wars of conquest or colonies? No kings and countries running up ruinous debt?
At least they got rid of the BLM advert (or I’m not seeing it on mobile anyway).

EDIT: Looks like they quietly pulled the banner back in November https://github.com/golang/website/commit/8a86c4a6dbe5e8bdf59...

EDIT: People are downvoting this, so presumably I’ve offended someone. For what it’s worth, my grievance isn’t that I disagree with the advertised politics (although I emphatically do) as much as I disagree with advertising any politics on programming language websites.
Yes, the backend fetched places from Google whenever there are none listed on Workmode. Had to turn it off because Hackernews slowed down the system OOPS
Good luck with that on anything GPU or HPC related, or industries with language standards.

Also until Rust compilers are bootstraped, they will always rely on a C++ infrastructure.

There are forums outside of reddit almost dedicated to do exactly that (post fake stories on reddit). Honestly, the posts (not this one, I think this is actually real) are sometimes so outlandish and "baity", yet reddit almost always fall for it. There's this bizarre pattern of always suggesting divorce, calling the cops or other very... "reddit" advice that comes off as unadjusted.

And while the posts might be fake, the disturbing thing is that the comments/advices usually are not.

I really don't think anybody is forgetting anything since people like you keep writing about it in every Wasm discussion thread since at least 2015. At this point, literally everybody involved with Wasm knows.

And people have seen what was in the past and created a modern, well-composed solution that is accepted by all major players. Excellent if you ask me. Yeah nobody has invented a new wheel here - but that's not necessary, actually it might be counter-productive to the goals of Wasm. Wasm wants to take stable, well-known ideas, improve upon the warts of previous tech like CLR and JVM and put it on 100 billion devices.

Obviously not on the surface in the vacuum and frozen ice but down in the liquid interior you're protected from the radiation by all those kilometres of water. On Earth we had kemosynthetic life for hundreds of millions of years before photosynthesis was evolved so the lack of sunlight isn't a problem, provided Europa has undersea vents or the equivalent. Scientists seem to think it has some volcanism down there but of course More Research Is Needed.
This is what I mean. Obviously anyone can keep believing what they want..contraception is available all around the world..compare how many countries have normalized the made up word term ‘cis-women’ and have high fertility rates.

Facts are staring right at our faces. And we..women..are telling you that this isn’t working for us and the same tired old textbook mumble excuse echoes here on elite intelligent circles on the interwebs.

A lack of respect and dignity and equality for women is what started the first wave of feminism. Nobody participated and walked by us in our struggles. But this battle that we are going to lose…everyone is going to lose too. Because our identity is being erased.

This is how at least a certain portion of humanity will become extinct. Not an asteroid hitting us or a virus or famine. I hope this western woke virus doesn't spread to the rest of the world.

Would you reconsider this wording, so that we can focus on your story rather than a flippant mention of their gender?

“Some girl” is definitely not nice phrasing and only furthers gender stereotypes.
