In theory once Graal adds support for it, any Graal/Truffle-compatible language can benefit.

IMHO it's only JVM+Graal that can bring this to other languages. Loom relies very heavily on some fairly unique aspects of the Java ecosystem (Go has these things too though). One is that lots of important bits of code are implemented in pure Java, like the IO and SSL stacks. Most languages rely heavily on FFI to C libraries. That's especially true of dynamic scripting languages but is also true of things like Rust. The Java world has more of a culture of writing their own implementations of things.

For the Loom approach to work you need:

a. Very tight and difficult integration between the compiler, threading subsystem and garbage collector.

b. The compiler/runtime to control all code being used. The moment you cross the FFI into code generated by another compiler (i.e. a native library) you have to pin the thread and the scalability degrades or is lost completely.

But! Graal has a trick up its sleeve. It can JIT compile lots of languages, and those languages can call into each other without a classical FFI. Instead the compiler sees both call site and destination site, and can inline them together to optimize as one. Moreover those languages include binary languages like LLVM bitcode and WASM. In turn that means that e.g. Python calling into a C extension can still work, because the C extension will be compiled to LLVM bitcode and then the JVM will take over from there. So there's one compiler for the entire process, even when mixing code from multiple languages. That's what Loom needs.

At least in theory. Perhaps pron will contradict me here because I have a feeling Loom also needs the invariant that there are no pointers into the stack. True for most languages but not once C gets involved. I don't know to what extent you could "fix" C programs at the compiler level to respect that invariant, even if you have LLVM bitcode. But at least the one-compiler aspect is not getting in the way.
For me, I like the idea of having time for complete immersion into each subject. I never felt like I had that when juggling multiple classes.
Wouldn’t the best way to do congestion pricing be to simply optimize for maximum revenue (which you then mostly redistribute either equally or progressively)?

I feel like the way to maximize revenue would just be to try either raising or lowering the price (by say 20%?) every n (5-10?) minutes, and see if your revenue goes up or down. If it goes up, continue what you’re doing, and if it goes down, reverse it?
It gives you a lot (aside from the ability to use existing libraries and APIs): observability and debuggabillity.

Supporting tooling has been one of the most important aspects of this project, because even those who were willing to write asynchronous code, and even the few who actually enjoyed it, constantly complained — and rightly so — that they cannot easily observe, debug and profile such programs. When it comes to "serious" applications, observability is one of the most important aspects and requirements of a system.

Instead of introducing new kind of sequenatial code unit through all layers of tooling — which would have been a huge project anyway, we abstracted the existing thread concept.
Would you say more about the connection between black snot and ICE taxis?

The reason I ask is that I was under the impression people commonly get black snot from the the tube (eg. https://www.reddit.com/r/london/comments/16jjgt/london_why_d... ).
Around me, there's a lot of fields that are "due" to be planted in cotton this year, which are instead getting soybeans. The "Cotton Grower's Association" has been running heavy advertising on local TV.

I'm seeing fields that have been plowed and disked instead of the usual herbicide required "no till" routine that has been popular here since the 90s. A couple of them at least are going to regret that; the erosion control levees and terracing aren't there anymore, they reshaped the land for bigger machines and "no till" levels of erosion.

The wheat all got plenty of fertilizer and is growing up green and lush, I've got doubts about how much feeding the corn will get this year. There's a couple places out there with seedlings peeking up that are so weedy and scraggly i cannot see why they even bothered planting; must have something to do with crop failure insurance.
So the roads were not paved after the 4th century due to plague and not a failed civilized administration? Would you consider the Merovingians as civilized as the Phoenicians?
There is a chapter by Hank Warren all about popcount in the Beautiful Code book, https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/beautiful-code/97805965... and there is much more along similar lines in Warren’s book Hacker’s Delight https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker's_Delight

My favourite use of popcount is for packing sparse vectors.
Yeah I wondering the same think.
All my screen are FullHD, however they are smaller (21" / 23").

I could like a smaller screen - e.g. 21". This could also be cheaper and more affordable.

This line, a comment from one of the riders on his women's team, says a lot:

> he needed to be adored and respected

He does have some sort of narcissistic personality disorder going on, aided and abetted by the ease of publishing or telling lies that few people will ever check.

Makes me wonder about the breathless bios and claims in VC and CEO bios, or hinted at in interviews. Military service, elite university backgrounds, and sole founder status seem to pop up a lot.
You're missing the point

He can return it, or he can consent

Nothing here is illegal. This structure is common, even though you guys are saying "that's absurd"

Your indignation and lack of familiarity does not change that this is well accepted in international law
It seems like there are a fair few coding "ideologies" around which sort of interact with different paradigms and languages, but sometimes multiple exist within those spaces... and every other ideology's code is "crap" to the others. So don't worry, your code is definitely crap to somebody!
It is not, timing matters. It takes some time for starches to break into sugar therefore the release of sugars is not spiking. Glycemic index was created to show a difference between good and bad carbs.

Dutch has something similar: “ de soep wordt nooit zo heet gegeten, als zij wordt opgediend” (The soup is never eaten as hot as it was served).
There are ghostly individual isolated hydrogen atoms drifting in interstellar space whose effective diameters are about 0.5 mm, while hydrogen atoms in our local environment are more like 1.1 angstrom (1e-7 mm) in diameter.

These are called Rydberg atoms and exist because the electon bound to the nucleus of the these atoms has climbed up to very high excitation levels, a state that is very unstable as any collision with another particle or interaction with electromagnetic fields will cause it to collapse down to lower energy levels. The extreme emptiness of interstellar space allows such atoms to persist for long periods.

The density of interstellar hydrogen clouds is much lower than what can be achieved with the best vacuum systems on Earth, but laser cooling techniques have now made the production and maintenance of such atoms possible, to the point where they can be used as delicate sensors, and have possible applications in quantum computing.
Honestly I wouldn't even consider installing this because there is zero information about how it works and what it does with the data I type into it.

Are my search terms sent to some random server to be "processed" and/or logged for analytics purposes, or is everything done locally?

But the outcomes are skewed heavily too

In a tiny percentage of cases intercourse produces a baby

The woman has to carry the baby to term for 9 months, take care of her body, eat well, rest enough, don’t drink alcohol, stop working, go through a painful delivery that will change her body forever, doctors are involved, life or death situations then the baby needs food and clothing…

Privacy policy seems to imply that data is being collected - would be good to clarify that. Does it rely on a server/API?

In IE languages, the words for water basically follow either "aqua" or "water". Finnish (it's Ugric, not IE) follows the latter, with "vesi" (combining form "vete-").

Spot on! Is there a full open source analytics solution (with web frontend) without such proprietary dependencies?
Interesting! I recall being taught that it was the electromagnetic repulsion between the electron shells of atoms, but that was probably in high school. I took quantum mechanics in college but don't remember touching on the particular question of stellar collapse. Somewhat surprising that this question wasn't really answered until the late 60s.
Yeah I liked it. They also made a TV show but I never watched that. Thought about how to include references to it but it didn't quite fit so I dropped it.
I'm curious whether the people who designed those old buildings back in the day really thought about cooling or it was just a welcome (as long as heatwaves don't last too long, as mentioned in other comments) side effect of making those buildings with long lasting materials (lots of large bricks and rocks) of those days.
Ask HN: Have TV ads changed?
i don't know why, but recently many TV ads give me an uncanny feeling

every other ad is what i would describe as "dancing happy diverse young people in colourful clothes"

when i'm watching TV ads i feel like i'm watching a corporate-monster version TikTok

the difference is with TikTok this is the content, but with TV ads it isn't even clear what the product they are advertising

how effective is the "dancing happy teenagers in colourful clothes" strategy in TV ads? teenagers typically don't watch TV

have you noticed this with TV ads in your country?
I haven’t implied any of the things that you’ve asserted.
I get what you’re saying but is the track record of terrorism any better at causing constructive change? Really we need to engage a lot of people’s minds, and that just turns out to be really hard in our current culture no matter what angle you come at it from.

Short answer, it's a solid hunk of rock.
Stars are not. Stars are a mass of incandescent gasses; a gigantic nuclear furnace where hydrogen is smelt into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.

Gaseous planets and stars will collapse into something solid (or explode). Not all stars collapse to explode though. They have to be 1.4 times the size of our Sun to do that.

Similarly in Dutch, de soep wordt niet zo heet gegeten als ze wordt opgediend. In this case it's soup that's not eaten as hot as it is served.
What the hell is this islamophobic crap.

Just fyi for other readers, that has nothing to do with Islam beliefs.
The Navy pays officers very generously across all fields, EXCEPT medicine and JAG. URL JOs will take a pay cut for the first several years (at least) after leaving for the civilian sector. I never, ever heard a URL peer get out because of financial reasons.

FWIW, BAH (pay for housing that is tax-free) is $4000 for an O-6 in Point Loma v. $2777 in Offut, NE. Seems to be aggressive adjustment, no?

Enlisted pay might be another story…

EDIT: I know one guy who griped about pay once…kind of in passing. Went on to be a YC founder haha.
One additional - as noted, it's been 26 years since Java's founding. Project Loom has been around since at least 2018 and still has no release date. It'll be cool for Java projects whenever it comes out, but I just...have a hard time caring right now. I can't use it for old codebases currently, and new codebases I'm not using one request per Java thread anyway (tbh - when it's my choice I'm not choosing the JVM at all). The space has moved, and continues to move. In no way to say the JVM shouldn't be adopting the good ideas that come along the way, that is one of the benefits of being as conservative and glacial in adoption as it is, but I just...don't get excited about them, or find myself in any position in relation to the JVM (Java specifically, but the fundamentals affect other languages) other than "ugh, this again".
I’ve been focused on mechanical building the last 2 years. I learned Solidworks, Blender, 3d printing, cnc, and resin casting. Now I am taking woodshop, and trying to learn more about mechanism design. Learning more about materials is always ongoing in the background. My goal is to be able prototype whatever zainy physical product idea I might have quickly and at a high quality.

Is it so far stretched to say that a person who is in good shape, takes proper care about his hygiene and stuff like hair/beard might be a more self disciplined and organized person compared to someone that is lazy about his hygiene, physical condition and appearance?
Is this not just because most rapists are men (and sexual assaulters more generally are men), and the only people they can rape in a prison environment are other men?

Which is also why prisons are segregated by sex, to avoid women prisoners being sexually assaulted, raped and impregnated by deviant men. If prisons had no such sex segregation, it would overwhelmingly be the women being raped, not the men.
Wood is also corrosion resistant, maybe they could make the ships out of wood. /s

Technical Documentation: What to Write
You're making an assumption that the actresses are chosen on whether or not they can twerk, and then an assumption that the producers of the show (or the audience) see it with a pedophilic gaze. Are parents who read shop catalogues showing children in underwear pedophiles, or looking at the image in that way? How about the people who take the photos?

I really can't see why it would be disturbing, unless the person watching is doing so in service of a pedophilic desire - and you still have to prove that.
And comfort. Streetcars on rails are so smooooth, compared to buses where it's always a bumpy ride.
The military ones would usually get away with it if they didn’t wear fake medals from every conflict and operation from WW2 onwards and always declare they were such and such SF unit.
I use !$ multiple times every day but you just helped me make the connection to try !^ for the first argument and I think I'm going to start using that as well. Thanks!
If they were both the same version, things should technically work, at least on disk.

> Racist or not?

Your example hinges on the definition of the word “racist”. There are credible definitions where the answer would be yes or no.

If I had to guess how I’d answer after reading three pages of explanation on this opinion of yours, it would probably be “yes”.
> and especially one where the wrapper for file descriptors had good prevention of race conditions closing a file

This is an ownership issue is my point. It's not exactly memory safety but the same concept applied to an integer rather than a pointer.
Russia aligned cyber criminals attack everything in the internet. Everyday. All the time. This isn't news. 40% of attacks on our networks come from Russian IPs.
Hmm, I found it uplifting. I'm not in the startup space, but I feel like I have been struggling with prioritization, without really understanding what I was struggling with. In my case, the constant tugging from one operational crisis to another has made it difficult to focus on long-term goals, and I need to learn to let others fight their own fires from time to time so I can prioritize tasks I know will have an out-sized effect later. Guess it's just a matter of perspective!
Hey sorry for the late reply and I can tell you my stack.

I'm a Django backend developer and I built this service using the Django tech stack. Frontend is favourite Bulma and I am using htmx for calling the backend API.

And I have deployed in render.com. And also one more thing it is still in free plan and it can take care of the HN it seems.
The version from Hacker's delight is fun and does not branch:

int popcount32(unsigned i) {
i = i - ((i >> 1) & 0x55555555);
i = (i & 0x33333333) + ((i >> 2) & 0x33333333);
i = ((i + (i >> 4)) & 0x0F0F0F0F);
return (i * 0x01010101) >> 24;
}

Pretty interesting point, didn’t think of that. The casualty of it.

It is rather intimidating to see someone piloting with a large controller, as opposed to just whipping out their phone like any other time. Definitely makes for a more low-risk social interaction.
My bad. I didn't lookup the Author name. I am a fan of his Mars trilogy. I don't know why the writing style is so crappy in this one. I tried pushing forward but its just hard. Its actually a lot similar to the Red faction in the Mars trilogy. That rabid faction never made any sense to me in those novels and the same pre assumed moral superiority didn't make much sense in the new novel.

I prized the trilogy for its vivid descriptions of the Mars in the beginning to how it was transformed using technology. The pace was good and never boring. Not so in this latest one - some characters and their feelings are given so much space in the book without moving the plot - like that character who survived the heat wave - by the 3rd of the book, you would wish he didn't - just chapters and chapters of PTSD descriptions.
Ask HN: What’s it like moving to NYC today?
I’ve been sensing a trend of techies making moves to NYC. I’ve also heard of insane rent increases by the order of $500 - $1000, and a huge scarcity of available properties.

Has anyone recently made the move to NYC? How was your experience?
It's worth mentioning that in a typical pedalboard you're probably going to see zero linear effects. The closest ones are probably an EQ and pure digital Reverbs and Delays. Almost all other effects have tons of saturation.
Loglan and Lojban give entirely too much weight to Chinese and other large languages (in terms of numbers of speakers) that have zero relationship to IE (unless you're heavily into Nostratic). I'd like to see someone combine an exemplary form of Romance languages (like, Latin or early French) with an exemplary form of Germanic languages (like modern Icelandic or reconstructed proto-Germanic) to form a new lingua franca [insert corresponding Germanic term here] for use among language enthusiasts in Europe. Call it Frankenlingua ?
Within f-droid, though they're also on google store I assume, I can recommend Simple Mobile Tools. Just one Slovakian dev but the apps can replace various stock and non-stock apps and work fantastic. The names are a bit generic though, like Simple Gallery or Simple File Manager.

They're powerful enough for me, and simple enough that I install them for my mom and grandma (grandpa can't read, dad chose the dark side), and my brother apparently also discovered them independently. Few months ago I figured I should take stock of how many of these apps we use together and did a donation for us collectively. One benefit for family members is that now they don't have to get used to a new interface if they get a new phone, so they're less locked into one brand. Android UI always changes and just gets worse imo, and unfortunately you need the stock camera for good quality pictures, but at least things like their gallery always looks the same.
>How would a carbon cap and trade be much different or more effective than a carbon 'sin' tax?

Sin taxes dont necessarily solve any problems, but raise revenue that officials can spend on pet projects and caviar. They aren't morally or financially based in the damage done, and don't compensate those harmed.

Money from Cap and trade doesn't have to go to the government. Private manufacturers buy them, and individuals can sell them. one example is every American gets a 1 carbon credit and they can sell it on an exchange to manufacturers (or not).

>It's a little beyond time for that, now isn't it?

Take that up with people who don't believe in climate change. perhaps the "someone" upthread, not me.
Spanish houses are made of ventilated brick without insulation so they stay really nice even when outside temps are touching 40C.

You must consider other factors as well. The grass where cows are feeding is also a home and food for many other species. Making the land arable makes that void. Add pesticides, add other things to fight animals eating crops and the picture you get is just another extreme.
What? No. As was known by Homer already, water is wine-coloured: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine-dark_sea_(Homer)
Regarding modern AI approaches not being great at what Prolog does, I'm curious if this will ever translate into an uptick in job postings for Prolog (or, at least, rule-based/declarative) jobs. One would expect hybrid systems in which the old school approach played some significant role, but I haven't noticed that happening in the market.

It touches upon the composite nature of sight and other senses and functions.

It's ultimate goal is putting forth a theory of how self naturally arises from the composite.

For U.S. tax deductible charitable donations (501(c)(3)), it is mandatory to have in your hands, before the earlier of filing your tax return or the original filing deadline, a written acknowledgement of your donation from the donee including amount, date, and a statement that you received nothing of value in return. If not, it is not tax deductible.
> Instead in the corporate world we have layers of layers of management demanding progress reports and skill assessments and performance rankings and velocity audits and what have you. I'm sure this eats way more time than if they just spent a couple of hours every now and then working with and asking things of the people who do the actual work.

This rings very true in my experience. Every new layer, every new TPM organization adds more overhead. They start off with “were gonna boost productivity and get things done faster!” but when that doesn’t happen the result is a demand of more process, more bureaucracy, more JIRA/story point blah blah all of which ultimately falls on the engineers who still have to do the actual work but now have to learn how to bullshit the bureaucracy.
