> You can just ignore what’s being said in “free speech circles”

The irony here is hilarious. This is the exact point people arguing against social media censorship are pointing out: if you don’t like it and the speech is protected under law, use your little block button and ignore it (rather than asking a social media company to ban it because it hurts your feelings).

Firefox Android here: the page loads with the top and bottom bar and the grayed out placeholder page. Then nothing happens. The FAQ link works but the accordion (?) doesn't open.

Hints:

1. Maybe it breaks because there is more JavaScript than there should be and it makes the site brittle across browsers.

2. Both top and bottom sticky bars. I routinely use uBlock Origin to hide them on all the sites that use one of them. Both is rare but it won't be the first time. Rationale: I never subscribe to those sites and I get there either by search results or by HN posts so I'm not interested in their menus.

> people have never been happier

I always have trouble with this assertion. How do we actually know this? Do we feel that the surveys that are being given can even accurately measure happiness, and that the responses are comparable over time? It feels these questions are difficult to definitively answer, but I see all the time the tendency to reach for references to the World Happiness Report as if it should be taken automatically as an accurate measurement.

As far as I know, we don't even have measurements going back that far -- the earliest I've generally been able to find is from the mid/late 1900s. I think it's a bold statement to say people are the happiest ever right now.

Isn't that somewhat possible with @embedFile? Then you get the content of the file as a null terminated byte array / normal zig string. I would think you could do further comptime things to it after that no? I haven't tried it myself so maybe I am missing something.

I get that this differs from normal file io, but I could argue that is in line with Zig motto of clarity.

Also you would of course suddenly have to have the file content as part of your binary. Maybe you were hoping to be able to throw that away after you generated what you wanted...?
Has the author confused M-Expressions and F-Expressions or am I misreading this?
I'm not even sure what 'puppets for Putin' means? Or puppets for anything would really mean.

Are they having zoom chats with Putin, and he's telling them what to tweet/say, and then they are doing exactly as he directs? Or is there a different arrangement?

I'm assuming that being critical of the US military & security complex is your evidence of being a puppet for Putin? Since Putin also is critical of the US military & security complex, therefore criticizing the US = puppeting for Putin?

If I have this wrong, please do correct me.

It has little to do with Twitter and everything to do with India announcing that they will not import cars from Giga Sanghai.

The announcement of Giga Sanghai had increased Tesla's stock price by 15% in a few days, back in February. India was supposed to be one of the biggest markets that Giga Sanghai would serve... but India has decided they don't want Teslas from China... which explains the drop in stock prices now.

You know a news site is fake if it peddles obvious lies. For example, Bezos compost does reports the same lies:

He divulged some stuff that was of little consequence except giving Greenwald a career. The government simply responded by changing things up. So now you have a bunch of leaked stuff that is dated. Whistleblowers never seem that effective. either they are too late, or the stuff revealed is not that important, or nothing happens/changes. IF a whistleblower reveals a corporate fraud, for example, the revelation of the fraud will hurt shareholders. The ideal solution is to tell the shareholders before the info is public without impacting the stock price, so investors do not lose money, which is not possible. Someone has to lose. Justice may be served but shareholders still lose.
Still strikes me as cowardly since the program was/is grossly unconstitutional.

And I think Snowden has proven the constitution can survive the disclosure that the government had an illegal, poorly overseen dragnet. Clapper is ultimately responsible for what is considered classified. Feels like circular logic to say he was forced to lie to the public and non-committee representatives about things he had authority to disclose.

> but note that JIT work on Erlang has been under active develop since at least 2014

Kind of, but that work (BEAM JIT, HiPE, etc.) was done by third-party academic researchers and then contributed to Erlang, where it languished, because none of the core developers were academic researchers with the knowledge to improve or even really change what had been contributed. HiPE was disabled in Erlang 22 simply because some new instructions were added and nobody knew how to extend HiPE with support for them. You might call this previous work "false starts" at optimization.

The work going on since Erlang 24, however, is being done in-tree by the core maintainers themselves. It will stick around, and be gradually improved upon.

Alongside this work, comes a number of recent features in the last few Erlang releases, all with the specific aim of supporting performance-oriented code — e.g. atomic counters, persistent_term, ETS high-read-concurrency improvements, etc.

Basically, the Erlang devs have seemingly shifted from their previous "enterprise embedded use-case enablement" posture, more toward a "high-performance OLTP use-case enablement" posture.
Go is among the lowest barrier-to-entry programming languages but most entry-level tutorials don't even get into testing, So a test focused entry-level Go tutorial is indeed a fresh take and an useful one.

Probably, yeah. Their earnings call is later this week and it's reasonable to assume that layoffs signal bad earnings.
Actually a pretty cool approach for general intelligence. Aggregate platforms like mashape could be set to go this way too. I could see programs of the future contributing to an open knowledge map on how to interact with their interfaces rather then just the data. Smart stuff.
That is exactly what I’m asking! Is it unusual to have these types of swings?
It’s fair to criticize the whole US intelligence establishment (and their congressional overseers, and every president of both parties for the past 40+ years) without thinking that Clapper should be personally criminally liable for following standard practice here.

* * *

While we are talking about cowardly though, why has Edward Snowden, president of the Freedom of the Press Foundation (!), neither said anything publicly nor resigned after 2 months of Russian crackdown on journalists and dissidents (in Russia they are now arresting people holding up invisible signs based on the imagined anti-government messages on them, and arresting journalists for no reason at all), explicit orders to the Russian military to murder journalists in Ukraine, etc.?

I was generally a fan of Snowden (with some reservations) before the past 2 months, considering him a flawed but courageous man of principle, but wow is he letting us all down this time.

It wanted to take over the body. They were one and the same."

I had no idea what she was talking about. I knew how hard it had been for me to stay out of my host, I did not know how difficult it was to pull free. She looked at me with eyes that shone like black glass. She was going to tell me something. I could feel it. I reached out, brushing her hand as I had with the others, and that was when I heard it.

Footsteps.

I spun and dropped into a crouch. I listened, but the steps had stopped. They had been close enough that I should have been able to hear them, but they were gone. There was a soft click as the door opened. My breath hissed in, a cold, whistling exhale of air, and the woman was there, before I was ready. I knew it was her.

Sure... you kind of left off the rest of the sentence there...In this case, what is the "it"? Ie, what specifically are the assets and liabilities?

In this case the loans are largely balanced by deposits. That was the point, and it does refute the parent claim.

If money was made up like folks are suggesting in this thread, then the items making the balance sheet balance would be... something else. I don't know, because it's such a stupid idea.
> LXR takes a very different approach to existing production collectors, using advanced reference counting for prompt reclamation, carefully avoiding the overhead of concurrent copying.

Curious, why hasn't this been done before, like in Objective-C? Java has some of most advanced garbage collection of any language with fancy escape analysis and a plethora of collectors available, including some unique ones like G1 and Shenandoah.
I think even back then a Rolex would run you at least 1-2 months salary. Granted money went further back then... but if you consider the median tech salary, a lot of Rolexes are still 1-2 months salary away.

<<Oh, thank heaven for>> the good old days when the CIA did all the spying and the NSA did all the wiretapping for a reasonable fee.

“What happened?” “Well, I think it must have been the CIA.” “And did they pay you well for that?” “Well, no. They were just a bit too high-handed for my liking.”

The CIA was a lot of things, but it was not high-handed. It was not imperious or arrogant or even arrogant. The CIA was just a really good espionage service. And of course the NSA did all the wiretapping and eavesdropping, but the National Security Agency, which now exists to spy on Americans, was not very useful at all for spying.

On February 20, the New York Times published a story about the fact that the National Security Agency (NSA) was breaking privacy rules, violating Americans’ privacy, and the United States Senate and House
The OPs comment was deleted when I read it, so the following is based on your reply.

The OP seems to have made a bad choice of words, paranoid and conspiratory. However, the sentiment, in a milder form, is something I can relate to. The adverse impact of TikTok, Reels and Shorts are being studied and the early findings are alarming. It will have a civilisation level impact by the end of the decade. Even with the learning channels. They can add to the addiction of the nerds.

Go searching for a shirt, find one, click "buy" and you're done.

But if you click "add to cart" and you're presented with similar items, related suggestions, etc. Then maybe you shop around more, add a half dozen items to your cart as you go.

On the other hand maybe you add it to your cart, look around a bit more, but have time to rethink the purchase and bail before completion.

I'd guess some research has been done to shed light on the behavioral patterns, but they're also going to be highly specific to different product segments. If you're shopping for 2 or 3 new shirts you might be easily be persuaded into a 4th. But if it's cell phones then you're done after the first one, and you already know if you want a case or not so accessory upsells above & beyond the buyer's original intentions are probably more limited.
In interviews I just tell the truth, which is that I'm a consultant, I usually have more than a single client, as otherwise it puts them at risk of me being classed as an employee.

My observations were from how to manage multiple clients together using the extra time from remote work, as the experience is close. The actual mechanics of the moonlighting employee part sounds like a lot of grey to me, but it was common even before covid and I saw it a lot in unionized environments. Typical calls I'd overhear would be people running charities, managing other consultants on other gigs, doing side of the desk startups, etc. It seems pretty normal.
What do people think of this line?

> Use the imperative mood in the subject line

The only rationales I've seen for using imperative ("fix bug") over the indicative ("fixed bug") are that it's what git does by default anyways.

Is it really that big of a deal to use the indicative sometimes and imperative other times?

For what it's worth, I always write commit messages in the imperative, out of habit. When others write commit messages in the indicative tense, part of me notices, but I move on because I can still understand the message if it adheres to the other guidelines.
It may be heretical but I tend to agree with this. Also at my workplace we tend to be standardized around PRs doing squash merges so there’s not really much point in having detailed interim commit messages anyway. As long as the PR has good information (and of course is linked to useful work items with good information) that’s usually good enough for me.

(Of course more often than not people have empty/useless linked work items, and PRs with useless titles and descriptions but that’s a whole different kind of problem.)
Capacitive or optical switch are the best for this. Some keyboards like Realforce supports changing actuation point as you like.
Being able to integrate and differentiate is less important than understanding that P(B|A) does not, in general, equal P(A|B), and you can learn that latter fact without learning how a probability distribution is defined. Wikipedia has a proof of Bayes' Theorem without calculus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes%27_theorem

Yes, it is ultimately founded on calculus. But we don't teach numbers to kindergarteners starting from Peano's axioms, and we don't need to gate the essentials of conditional probability behind calculus. In fact, doing so is positively harmful to society at large.
For example, Daniel Ellsberg, leaking Pentagon Papers - basically everyone now agrees that was legitimate whistleblowing as it proved leading government figures were lying through their teeth to the American public about the reality on the ground in Vietnam. In contrast, Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen were CIA and FBI employees who sold all kinds of secrets to the Soviet Union for several decades - pretty sure we can safely call that espionage.

I am surprised that Ellsberg was let off. I think Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen were punished because they betrayed their oaths and the material was more important or pertinent.
Yes, that would be, as that would align with my fuzzy idea of someone being a 'puppet' for someone else.

To repeat my question one last time of how you determine the 'Putin puppetness' of someone:

> I'm assuming that being critical of the US military & security complex is your evidence of being a puppet for Putin? Since Putin also is critical of the US military & security complex, therefore criticizing the US = puppeting for Putin?

If I have this wrong, please do correct me.
That's good feedback and thanks for sharing.

The primary driver in building this was first to create a way to easily hop into a live conversation around a topic with anyone.

This has been a bootstrapped one-person project so far and it also comes down to how much I can handle building at a time, and what to prioritize to walk the fine line from 0 -> 1.

I def agree and plan to add ways to add context to conversations and make it easier to navigate through the history of ones already in progress.

This paragraph is quite interesting:

Years later Richard Ledgett, who oversaw the NSA’s media-leaks task force and went on to become the agency’s deputy director, told me matter-of-factly to assume that my defenses had been breached. “My take is, whatever you guys had was pretty immediately in the hands of any foreign intelligence service that wanted it,” he said, “whether it was Russians, Chinese, French, the Israelis, the Brits. Between you, Poitras, and Greenwald, pretty sure you guys can’t stand up to a full-fledged nation-state attempt to exploit your IT. To include not just remote stuff, but hands-on, sneak-into-your-house-at-night kind of stuff. That’s my guess.” Because I’d been one of Snowden’s principal interlocutors, Ledgett told me he was sure there was “a nice dossier” on me in both Russia and China.

It comes off to me as fear mongering and an attempt to dissuade any future involvement with such sensitive materials. An understandable approach from someone with the specified role. However, it just sounds so defeatist given how much of the article up to that point had detailed the layers of effort that had gone into avoiding exactly that.

It also means that the NSA is capable of that as well: they've got it before you even realise what it is that you've got.

Any of James Clapper's words must be filtered through his laser-focused tunnel vision; black and white, good and bad, scorched earth for middle ground. ie. discard it, but be aware that's how those people view the world, and therefore that's what you'll be up against if you step into the ring. Zealots. Cattle to be protected by the Dogs from the Wolves, and into those three categories fit all.

I don't like it much, and find it difficult to relate to, but they couldn't do the important stuff that they do if they didn't have that attitude. But that's exactly why "congress", or whoever the appropriate leash-holders are, need to yoink on the leash every now and then, rather than letting it out for two straight decades.

Interesting the Fairseq GPT 13B pricing is cheaper than GPT-3 curie model (which is 6.7B).

GPT-3 Curie 6.7B (1k tokens) = $0.0060
Are these for a single person, or for many people?

The individual commits aren’t interesting until you need them. They should be organized such that they remove the desire to squash them together.

Yeah, heaven forbid 17 year olds decide they want to take on a career in STEM later in High School. They must be real dummies. REAL engineers decide to be engineers as HS Freshmen and never waver from, struggle on, or doubt the One True Path.

Colleges should only admit those who pledge themselves to the Guild of Software Engineering at 13, so we can keep the noble profession of building CRUD apps in JavaScript free of riffraff.
