I'm actually not super clear on wat you are saying, but I'll try to respond.

> You'd actually have to accumulate everything before being able to make an absolute statement such as "Young people look around and think things are harder now than they've ever been and it's simply not true"

That's not an absolute. I did not say "All young people". I said "Young people". There are definitely young people who believe the US, and some the western world in general, is on some wild decline from a golden age where everyone with an entry level job owned a house at 25. Just look at Reddit (assuming it isn't trolls astroturfing that is).

> I don't know how people can make this statement in such absolute terms, while at best their arguments are "well Y is worse, but X is better!"

I'm actually not sure what you're saying here.

> Let's not forget "young people" still have to live to see their retirement years.

Here too. Are you pointing out young people need to save for retirement? That isn't new. My grandfather was employed his entire adult life and only one of his (out of 6 or 7) jobs came with a pension (which he didn't get). Likewise with my mother.

No one in my extended family, old or middle aged, has a pension, and very few have significant savings.

> At least for someone outside the US, I don't expect to see most of my taxes funding the elderly's retirement returned by future generations (nor do I want that, for that matter).

It's not really feasible even if we wanted it. And it shouldn't be necessary. That is a very long, very separate conversation though, as my the point of my comment lies elsewhere.

> Nor is it very fruitful to have this measuring contest when it is evident several things have gotten worse for no other reason than greed.

This was the intent of statement actually. Calling work indentured servitude is drawing a comparison with the human rights dark ages which isn't apt.
Wow, was this ever public knowledge prior to this post? Also, is this even legal:

Recognise how you feel, recognise how she feels (really, truly rather than what serves you) and think about how a dysfunctional relationship will affect your kids. Getting dumped sucks but there are loads of future relationships out there.
Ask HN: How do parents hide the war in Ukraine from their young children?
Young children may not even know about death yet, so it seems that parents worldwide would try hard to hide this war from them.
The more interesting or sensitive stuff seems to be getting taken down increasingly quickly. At this point, I'd prefer not to watch something in the first place than to watch it and be unable to refer back to it later when I'm reminded of it by something else. I'm also motivated by the more general issue of cultural vandalism and activist agendas being pursued by tech and media companies, and I think that a system of decentralised offline backups provides the basis for a longer-term solution to this problem. Also, storage is incredibly cheap.
Takedowns. If certain videos are important to you, make copies and store in your local drives, make encrypted backups and store in the cloud.

Too many forces want to change history, gaslight the masses and disinform them.

For example, how long do you think this video will be around: https://youtu.be/jiBXmbkwiSw

Not for long, that's for sure.
Exactly. If this group of folks is saying “we won’t even show you the things we are seeming is evil” why would they have any credibility in your mind?
"...Machine Learning (ML) workloads have rapidly grown in importance, but raised concerns about their carbon footprint. Four best practices can reduce ML training energy by up to 100x and CO2 emissions up to 1000x. By following best practices, overall ML energy use (across research, development, and production) held steady at <15% of Google's total energy use for the past three years. If the whole ML field were to adopt best practices, total carbon emissions from training would reduce..."

Realizing that audiobooks are superior to YouTube if I'm trying to sleep.

Apart from the obvious reasons, in the former case you typically make 1 decision in a finite set (pick 1 audiobook among your collection).

In the latter case you're typically making multiple decisions in an infinite set (Video will probably end before you fall asleep and there are practically infinite videos).
> If you want to win at life, you “save money” by purchasing non-cash assets like stocks.

"Win at life" == "save money" == "owning stocks" ???

Winning at life is about everything that is not about money. Winning at life is being able to be happy no matter how much or how little money you have. Sure, up until one point, more money can help you get happier, but if you don't have the baseline happiness, you will never become happy and "win at life" no matter what. And up until a certain point, not even more money can make you happier if you're already miserable.
> The definition of “food security” is a propagandistic construct.

Not necessarily. Families that rely on food stamps to survive could be considered to have poor food security. How exactly is that propaganda?

If this is the kind of protection you want you should be running everything in seperate VMs and containers. Preferably you would run the hypervisor (perhaps a hardened bare-metal hypervisor) on your server and remotely connect to the instances with your client. The client is solely used for connecting to those instances.

The hypervisor itself will need to be well protected and you do not want that accessible from your client or the VMs and containers - use a seperate NIC or VLAN. This is the reason why you want a seperate server - the only things the client will see are the shared containers. Let's assume here that VMs and containers are secure - if they aren't, you can replicate this with seperate physical machines.

On the server you can set firewall rules to control access between the different containers. Network storage etc. can also be setup for the containers that need it, with different permissions depending on the situation.

Depending on the stuff you are running, you may want to go the VDI or SSH route. Also there are other options like XPRA, etc. depending on your requirements. The more segmentation you do (i.e. one VM for the dev envionment for a specific app, another for chat and email, etc.), your security will increase at the cost of usability.

I personally do this in a limited fashion (I have secure workstations and VDIs for handling of private/financial information), but do not go the full route of seperating everything out for day-to-day computing.

Thanks for your trigger warning. I did not read your message. I am replying notwithstanding. I actually had to write this in a different application because when I tried replying to your comment, I couldn't actually hide it from view, and I saw the words 'special interests' and others, couldn't resize the window right, so opened another app to write.

Dude so in Chile, most of the world, a guardian can pay a shrink (a malpracticing psychiatrist, that's what that means) $400.000 (like $500) and he or she will 100% accuse him of any condition desired. Will. In United States the price is higher, depends on the state, basically on the chance of getting caught, and good psychs will just refuse. But they won't turn the guardian in, the good psychs are not in charge, the shrinks are in charge (like the Sacklers, being a shrink can make you a billionaire[1]). But a shrink can diagnose bipolar, schizophrenia, cannot take care of himself, retardation[2], what are the others...autism...paranoia...early-onset dementia...um...I read so many books about these things, why am I having a hard time rattling them all off...but at any rate, these are not diagnoses. They are also accusations. If false and public, they are slander. They justify harm, you can justify brain surgery, like a lobotomy but with better marketing. Same as an accusation can justify harm, putting someone in prison. And turns out, they all make the pretense of being scientific, but none of them are falsifiable (you have no way of proving them false), so why bother calling psychs who use them doctors if they're not even scientists? (Psychs is a more neutral term than shrink, psychiatrist is too big a word, takes too long to say, and means 'attendant of the soul' which is innacurate.)

And there are some great psychs. Just a minority by design.

[1] If you actually do the math, the three Sackler brothers are each a trillionaire debtor because that's the poverty value of the suffering they inflicted. Thousands of 13th amendment violations, making people addicts means making them slaves, they made hundreds of thousands of Americans slaves. Just through psychiatric malpractice, by definition being a shrink.

[2] This one is dangerous because if you diagnose retardation and the retard gets the best score in the country on the SAT, you might not look so smart yourself.

I don't think God the Father and the Holy Spirit are considered "people" though they are considered "persons". "People" seems to imply "human beings" to me, and only God the Son is considered to have been a human being by most Christians (as Jesus, of course).

32 bits is 4 bytes, 64 bits is bytes. With 32 bits you can code about 4 billion distinct values

In the case of LEB128 and VLQ you are breaking up a single byte (8 bits) into a 1 bit flag (are there any more?) and 7 bits for the actual data, so that is 128 possible values.

If you split up the byte so 2 bits were used for one purpose and 6 bits were used for another purpose you would get have 64 possible values for the second part and lastly out of 5 bits you would have 32 possible values.

Base64/Base32 encoding is something a little different. Let's consider Base 32, between the 26 letters and 10 digits we have 36 symbols, we can leave some of them out and have 32 symbols left.

We can encode some stream of bits 5 bits at a time using Base 32 and it is pretty efficient because we can just shift the bits. If, however, we were desperate to encode data at as high density as possible we might look at all the characters available in a particular place, say the 45 characters in here

https://www.thonky.com/qr-code-tutorial/alphanumeric-table

You could encode a bitstream "base-45" by treating it as a big number, taking the remainder against 45, picking the corresponding character, dividing by 45 until you get to 0.

The 32 in base 32 is just coincidentally the same number as the 32 in 32 bits.

It has been clear to us for years that Samsung has baaad internal communication issues. When you're at the forefront of technology, you're bound to trip up as bets and explorations don't pan out. Humans being humans, mistakes will happen, but they must be recognized to be corrected and prevented in the future.

It's clear that Samsung culture prevents people from admitting mistakes, which of course only leads to more of them as stress builds up.

I remember the Samsung Galaxy Note battery problems, and how apparently it was clear to people outside Samsung what the problem was (too tight a clearance a the corners in the case for the batteries, causing bending of the internal electrodes, leading to short-circuits) before Samsung themselves recognized it.

You can't always be at the top, a sign of good culture is what happens when you slip.

Samsung keeps slipping.

Build it the stupid way first is short sighted imo but this might just be an exaggerated way of saying premature optimisation is wasteful.

Just putting it out there, but I think Knuth’s aphorism is being used and abused to the point that some folk believe system qualities are second to functional requirements when it’s not the case.
Certainly but it would only invalidate my point if I had stated it as universally true.
I agree. I have a vivid imagination (visual and otherwise) and like reading. When I imagined this scene, it was rich in detail (colors, textures, lighting etc.), but the person's hair wasn't a part of it, because I had "zoomed in" too close to the action.
This is not necessarily true. It’s trivial for an isp to exempt Speedtest.net traffic so it doesn’t get throttled while the rest of your traffic does.

It’s unlikely they would do something more complex like lifting all traffic limits once a connection to Speedtest.net opens.
Another case of Zachary Comstock if you ask me
Yeah thanks.
Completely anecdotal, but my maternal grandfather was a first-generation immigrant at the turn of the 20th century, speaking no English, no family, no job - the whole cliché. He did various jobs - fireman, train conductor, court stenographer - none of which would be particularly high-income or high-prestige today. But by the 1960s he had managed to raise 12 children with my grandmother, a stay-at-home mother, and to pay off both a 10-room home in the suburbs of NYC and an 80-acre vacation place in the Catskills.

The heroic labor of immigrants notwithstanding, I strongly doubt that would be possible for a fresh-off-the-boater today. I told my 20-something kids about it and they just laughed, like hearing about someone who stumbled across a pot of gold or a magic goose in a fairytale. I can't say I blame them.
Obviously, you've been correct the whole way.

This kind of revisionist interpretation, that a poster will engage in to make an altogether different assertion, is not uncommon on HN.

- No null

Then what is `voidptr(0)`?

- No global variables

https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md#global-va...

At least add "by default" to the web site.

- No undefined values

Which is done by initializing all values to 0. Probably not a good idea to do that for references though. (See also "no null values")

- No undefined behavior

`*voidptr(0)` is accepted by the compiler. Unsigned integer overflow is accepted by the compiler and UB in the generated C. How can V generate C code free of UB when it can't even generate C code that compiles all the time?

- Pure functions by default

Excluding I/O, one of the biggest sources of impurity, from your definition of pure is useless.

- Generics

You don't actually have generics, you have templates. Kind of ironic since Go has actually added generics before V has managed to get a 0.3 release out. The distinction is this: with generics the compiler is able to validate that the generic code type checks prior to substitution/monomorphization. With templated code, it's not possible to perform type checking until the concrete types have been instantiated. V implements templates with all the drawbacks including code bloat and inflated compile times that comes with it.
> from noting that inflation is driven by “printing money”

It's not. Or it can be, in the case of the linked article referencing Argentine hyperinflation. But what we're seeing right now isn't. The US government does not, as a rule, "print money" to create funds. That happens in the banking system. Like for example the government can sell a bond; existing holders of statically invested dollars (foreign governments who sold stuff here, say) give the federal government a bunch of cash in exchange for the promise of interest paid over time. Now the government spends that money (on a pandemic relief bill, say), putting it into circulation among a different demographic (poorer people and not money market investors) who do different things with it (buy consumer goods). Well, now demand for those consumer goods is higher than it would have been. If you're in a pandemic trying to keep the economy afloat, that's a good thing. But if you overshoot by a bit, then there's too much money for the goods available. Inflation! Despite no money having been created; it just changed hands.

Now do the same thing for a supply shock: if manufacturers scale back production (due to a pandemic) and then can't scale it back up fast enough (chip shortage!) then prices... go up! Inflation again!

Likewise trade goods can create supply shocks too. Maybe some product (Russian petroleum) can't be obtained anymore. Less fuel to go around, but all the existing consumers have the same requirements and start bidding against each other for it. Yup, inflation!

People who repeat this "bitcoin can't inflate because mining" idea are selling you a line, basically. And the proof is, in fact, that crypto has been basically flat vs. traditional currencies at this very moment where we're seeing global inflation. If you could ever see this effect, this would be the time to measure it. And it's not there.
There are plenty of feasible wireless ISP technologies. They have a directional antenna on the subscriber side, pointed at a shared tower.

I've had mixed experiences with them. The wireless link itself tends to be 100% uptime with no bandwidth contention. The quality of the network between the tower and the internet backbone varies wildly depending on the ISP.

Anyway, last mile of 10's to 100's MBit symmetric over multiple miles is a solved problem these days.

The remaining problems are mostly political. Sadly, that's been true since dial up modems became obsolete.

Sorry, but you didn't answer the question you set out to answer. What does mathematics or the way its taught have to do with white supremacy?

> After years and years of social science study of what prevents people of color from getting into STEM fields (if you don't believe these studies exist, that is ok, but only encourage your own investigation), the argument of "white supremacy culture in math" is providing points of how to center the experiences of people in color within the curriculum of teaching math to increase the thing we all seem to claim we want: the pipeline.

"Prevents"? Surely there are physicists and mathematicians graduating in majority non-white countries. Somehow I doubt they teach mathematics in a radically different way. If that's the case then I don't see how doing anything to the curriculum could have any effect.
My comment is pointing out that people often have room mates, and always have often had room mates. Especially in high cost of living areas. Especially if they are young. Even if they have high paying jobs. A friend of mine is a quite experienced physician, and I've known her for a couple decades. She had room mates as an internist, and for awhile afterwards. It made financial sense.

If your argument is that a meaningful number of people who historically would not have had room mates, now do, not because of a different set of choices they are choosing to make, but rather due to economic situations requiring radically different choices then maybe some data would be useful?

I know a lot of people who are clearly choosing to live in a city who probably don't need to. I know of many people choosing to have room mates because of economics, but would historically likely have made other choices (cohabitating with a boyfriend/girlfriend, moving to a different location, getting a different job, etc.).
When I was younger, I would always skip over those kinds of long, windy paragraphs full of visual descriptions. It’s like noise to me.

I do have a sort of movie playing in my head, but it’s not really a visual or auditory experience. It’s more like a running list of bullet points; a stream of facts. Visual descriptions are chock full of these facts, but they’re all usually inconsequential to the plot so I tune them out.

I find aphantasia very strange. I don’t lack a mind’s eye, but I do lack the ability to use it while conscious. My dreams are extremely visual and movie-like, but my conscious experience isn’t really visual at all. It wasn’t until recently that I learned “day dreams” are named that way because for most people they resemble dreams, but mine don’t at all.
Even among people who seem financially stable, I've been surprised how many of my peers spend money as soon as they see it and have never had more than $X000 at the same time ever. The lesson of delayed gratification is actually a pretty big factor in being able to save up money as an adult.
The problem statement was unity projects are hard to maintain due to accumulation of tech debt. The answer is to give dev engine source access... I failed to see the connection here.
The piece is exactly right. Uber is effectively an instrument to shift economic gains from labour to capital by atomizing the workforce. From a macroeconomic perspective this is terrible because turning taxi firms into countless of one man businesses provides no efficiency gains, it's basically reverse economic development.

There is a version of Uber that actually makes sense. As a lean SaaS company that sells its software to ordinary taxi companies, takes a cut and makes a profit. Which is basically how they operate in Spain because Spanish law has not tolerated Ubers attempts to capture markets.
Most likely unvested shares
That is not the argument. The argument is that Uber business model is more cost-effective than Slavery. (And without trying to sound insensitive here)...the "slave owner" still bears the costs of his "slaves".
