> God forbid people should have the unlicensed freedom to misinform.

At least you're being honest about what that freedom can actually mean in practice, rather than telling some fairy tale about the marketplace of ideas or something.

> Before, this privilege was only in the hands of the same major media giants that now rail about the supposed epidemic in misinformation of the type that they had no problem themselves creating however it suited their purposes or political alignments previously.

Even if there's truth to that, it has a big, big advantage: it maintains some consensus around something.

> No, the danger is explicitly much more so in the idea that some supposedly proper consensus of ideas should be enforced so that nobody does something silly, like voting for the "wrong" candidate, or viewing certain medical mandates in the "incorrect" way.

That's an over-the-top straw man. I don't think anyone serious wants something like that, certainly not me.

I'm honestly surprised at the response to this article. I'm not involved in the Rust or Go spaces enough to have any strong opinions. This article was, yes, a little aggressive in tone but presented very honest and accurate information about a language that the author clearly has experience in. It seems like a lot of the people complaining in the comments didn't actually read the article. The author even explains how those who have bought in to Go may not want to hear what they're saying and it's right. No one wants to hear that their baby is ugly but sometimes it's the truth.

To those who do use Go: someone can call your baby ugly and you can still love it.

> there's a difference between theorical ways to make bugs and bugs that happen in reality

On a large enough (time)scale, no there isn't.

But also, all this is rooted in years of running and/or watching someone run Go in production. These bugs aren't theoretical, they cause incidents and outages, and occasionally wake me up. I don't like being woken up.
Can you clarify further? Otherwise this seems like a shallow dismissal, which is against our HN community guidelines, and makes for uninteresting discussion.

> Operator overloading allows for things like complex numbers, arbitrary precision numeric types, etc., to be done with a library module.

Why is this desirable vs. implementing those types in the language itself?

I think we've gone down a weird path where implementing things "in userspace" is seen as an inherent good -- why?
I'm not sure I agree. With computers, people can literally teleport around the world which would have been ridiculed even 50 years ago. Probably something like "Haha, you think one day you'll be able to reach into the telephone and fix the thing on the other side, haha". I think it is an open question whether or not a sysadmin working on servers around the world is any different than paying the sysadmin to travel to each server and work locally while continuing to work on the global servers. The former is fine whereas the latter would legally require work authorization in each country.
Ask HN: System to capture personal notes on meetings and project progress
Does anyone have a system or software that they can suggest to track meetings & project progress? These would be for my personal notes.

Currently, I track progress in an Excel sheet with a row covering details of each meeting.
Separately I have a weekly log to track the trajectory of and thoughts on each project.

I'm looking for a system that is both simple and efficient.

As I understand it, he's talking about select/alt (i.e. guarded commands from CSP) being a native feature of the language rather than callback-based approaches. It's possible to implement CSP channels in most languages, but they're not first-class like go.

Take note of your own phrasing: it automatically excludes him from that group.
I'd like to be able to detect the truth in any formal statement. When I'm watching a youtube video and the presenter says "80% of the mass in the universe is made up of dark matter" I'd like the be able to know if that's true or false. This would be for everything I read or hear, from anyone, all the time.
The argument that things will work out in the end is not particularly reassuring when it still rests on the idea that I will have to spend most of my adult life in turbulent times.

Just as I wouldn't have liked to live through the Protestant Reformation and the wars of religion, I'd much rather have spent my adult life in the peace and prosperity of the late 1900s than on the trajectory people agree the world is headed for now.
mypy compiles itself with mypyc, for about a 3.5-4x speed up. black very recently started shipping mypyc compiled binaries, for about a 2x speed up (iirc).
You're being a little harsh, but essentially correct.

I worked at a newspaper for about five years, even wrote a weekly column for a couple. Lemme tell you, coming up with something interesting to say every week is really hard.

"CD sales are up a tick? Oh, something to write about, which incidentally is my job, thank god." That's it.
I'd argue that the greater risk of things falling apart is economic rather than political. We've built our society on two near-ponzi schemes that are in danger of falling apart. The first is pension funds which are paid into by current workers to pay out for past workers. Pension funds inherently depend on population growth to avoid shortfalls. They rely on the fact that more people pay into them then take out from them at any one time. This literally meets the definition of a ponzi scheme and it will be heartbreaking when it comes due.

The other near-ponzi scheme is the real estate market. In my city of Toronto, average real estate prices have gone from 2x average income in 1972 to 16x average income today. To continue growing at this pace they'd have to reach 128x average income by 2072. Those prices are absurd enough that it's clear there will be a slowdown in real estate prices before then. But much of our society is built on real estate growth and we aggressively encourage people to own real estate assets worth more than the entirety of their net worth. When these assets stop going up, or even worse start going down there will be major complications for society. I'm not talking about the adverse effects of a temporary market correction, I'm talking about a new normal in which real estate is flat or downward trending. When real estate is no longer an incredible investment opportunity it will have significant adverse effects on society. For instance, homes are currently a large part of people's retirement plans and selling a home is often used to pay for an extended stay in a nursing home (which is quite expensive). For many people the home represents over 60% of a retirement plan. In my parents lifetime, their home value increased to roughly 10x what it was worth. If my home increases 4x instead this is a substantial adverse impact. If my child's home increases 0x this is disastrous.

The things we fundamentally depend on to provide things as important in society as retirement are breaking badly. Meanwhile we're so obsessed with political differences that we barely talk about or work towards solving the slow economic crisis we are facing.
I finally got to try this... it's not very good. Voice quality takes a noticeable dive when screen sharing starts, the frame rate is very poor, and the image gets stuck a lot.

Better than nothing, but still pretty bad.
So you agree with me, that left and woke is not the same thing.

Whats odd thou is, (1) there is no clear definition of wokeism, like its an arbitrary stereotype used by demagogues and (2), that woke is often displayed on the other side of right/conservative. This makes it a strong indicator of propaganda. A surface, people can project their negative emotions to, which is another red flag in terms of populism. Even you used it indirectly, to refer to your peers "not liking woke", which is why i asked.

I am not defending wokeism too. One core value of the left is equality and solidarity. When you define wokeism as some LGBTQ-stuff, it would be just a subset of these values. So being woke does not make you left.

This is my answer to, what is the difference between woke and left.
Don’t forget that Qualcomm purchased Nuvia (ex Apple chip designers) last year.

Will they be playing catch-up with apple’s CPUs? Maybe.

But maybe there’s a connectivity/ communications and Qualcomm can play to its strengths - e.g. laptops with 5G? Laptops running android? I don’t know.

There definitely can be human civilizations that last indefinitely, so long as we stop keeping all our eggs in one basket, planet-wise.

Once we get humans living far enough apart that information about pandemics travels faster than pandemics do, then we should be largely invincible, barring suicide from ennui.

The larger our sub-galactic civilization, the more resilient it becomes to things like total war, total political revolution, etc.

It's really hard to be a galactic emperor at multi light-year distances. By the time you wipe out half the population of the empire, the other half will have doubled.

Why do you think that OWS was killed by new "social engineering algorithms"?

The US has had a strong anti-protest culture for decades. March in the street, for anything, and the response is near universal cynicism and derision of the "hippies". With OWS this was apparent with traditional news coverage that constantly focused on the most ridiculous looking protestors
Unfortunately all children are not created equals and some will crave sugar som much that Your method would fail miserably. I see this in children of my neighbours. Mine are almost same as Yours (especially older one) - they like sweets, but often they will leave them laying around not touching them for days. But if You do this with children of my neighbours they will behave like little addicts and they are like this since when they were like 3.
I think this works a bit like with drugs or somkes - some people just do not have addictive personality and it seems like they are born this way (maby its some chemistry in their brains working better or sth).

This is the thing that stood out to me as well. It sounds like they are moving to a single pay tier and if you are currently below that, you will receive an increase. I think that implies the single tier is the same as the current max salary since they did not mention a decrease. I'm interested to see how this plays out since it could indirectly effect me as I live in a low COL location and my company currently adjusts salary depending on your location.

This is not true, or at least not at larger conpanies. Company stock is just an investment; it gives you almost no say in decision-making unless you have a huge amount.

Employees get more influence (not control) over what happens by working at the company and contributing to internal discussions. That's mostly gone when you leave.
The reason people focus on definitions like “oh, it’s really about toxic masculinity!” is because admitting the truth would make them look bad:

Fascism is a collectivist authoritarian system with regulated commerce rather than direct state control, often co-occurring with systemic racism.

The reason people don’t want to be honest about the definition is that it’s the platform of modern Democrats, who are gaslighting by calling everyone else a “fascist”:

Democrats are collectivist authoritarian.

Democrats are pushing for regulated commerce.

Democrats are rebuilding systemic racism, from rationing healthcare [2] and government aid [1] based on race to attempting to repeal civil rights laws in WA [4] and CA [3].

Democrats took to the street in acts of arson, violence, and murder to terrorize the public ahead of an election — the modern Brownshirts. [5]

Democrats are fascist.

That's not the only/main reason to want a newtype though - it's also about restricting what the value can be, see something like NonZeroU64: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/num/struct.NonZeroU64.h...

numeric literals (mentioned by paskozdilar in a parent comment) being untyped is another footgun I hadn't even thought of including - it makes it impossible to achieve in TypeScript/Java-level enums.
That is the most damning thing I've seen lately.
I know about NASA Eyes. That's the greatest and most realistic illustration of the space I've ever seen in the browser. The Beta version of my project might look similar to NASA Eyes, but it'll start to differ soon once developed further.

One hint: just imagine using your digital signature (NFT or whatever you call it) and traveling in space with your VR devices in your browser? Sounds cool?! This is where this project is heading to.
In principle maybe, but remember that starlink is currently more of a synthetic ionosphere that a suitable receiver can bounce signals off to a base station that is still relatively regional.

He said if he’s successful, that both the far left and far right would be equally unhappy, has he made any kind of statement to suggest his goal is to “get people back on the same team”? I.E. his goal is to get people to trust the platform, not each other.

A few examples (though the reporting could be clearer):

https://www.dw.com/en/facebook-slammed-for-censoring-german-...

Fortunately for the defenders of that law, the notoriously opaque censorship of social media companies helps hide what is going on, so few examples surface. I could not find anything as convenient as a list of (wrongfully or not) censored content by this law. Often the censored party is not even told that the NetzDG was involved.

Silence on this issue should not be confused with a lack of problems, however. For example, in Germany:

“it can be a criminal offense in Germany to call another person a ‘jerk,’ or even to use the informal du, or ‘thou,’” to communicate a lack of respect for the recipient. German courts have penalized other similar “derogatory epithets,” including “asshole,” “bastard,” “old goat, “fathead,” “dope,” and “whore.” [..] German courts heard 26,757 criminal insult cases that year, leading to 21,454 convictions and 20,390 fines. - https://law.yale.edu/mfia/case-disclosed/germanys-netzdg-and...

To me this looks like a severe overreach of speech restrictions, even if one doesn't idealize the US 1st amendment, and accepts the need for some government censorship. Yet I've only learned about it just now, from a very obscure post.

In all seriousness, this isn't all that new. It's a sad state of affairs though and you have to wonder what the key differences are in policing. Chicago needs to revamp their departments, but I would be willing to bet with a decent chunk of change that the issues presented are a direct response to leadership within the City as a whole and this weird utopian dream of minimal arrests.

Three major hot spots (Humbolt park / North Lawndale), (Englewood) and (Pullman, West Pullman) average close to 3 homicides per 10000 people (Chicago Sun Times 2021 crime statistics). Gang violence is largely attributed, yet when the culture of gangs is brought up immediately everyone screams about everything but addressing that specific issues. I lived in inner-city Baltimore and I can tell you first hand, the excess amount of cash dumped into the city, rarely made it to the programs it was claimed to go to. Leadership for the city were all of the same ethnicities and many came from the city as well. So at some point we have to figure out A, how we can improve cultural to reduce the circumstances that push young people to the extremes (reduce poverty, increase opportunities, stabilize families) and B, address crime in a humane but effective manner (treat addicts like human beings and get them into long term care, hold violent offenders accountable and keep them locked up). There are many parts of the US that are extremely poor by standards, but the statistics and nature of crimes aren't repeated outside of a few major metropolitan areas. The main difference is localized cultures, and until people stop flailing arms and screaming that it's an affront to talk about it, things will continue to go down this path.

Finally, defunding the police as a slogan has always been a bad narrative. The issue of low funding leads to lower quality candidates. If anything increasing funding, establishing new training on de-escalation, and putting effort into community out-reach is far more important. Until people see the police with respect (which they have to earn rightfully so) their efforts to police will be more hampered.

I often wonder if a lot of the knee jerk reactions we've had the past 10 years have been seen as the quick answer emotionally, but as a whole have lead to far worse situations than prior. It seems the statistics rising would indicate that.
These CSS media queries will kill me one day -_- Sorry for the trouble you had there.
We're in the last 50 years of industrial civilization. Anyone who spends enough time with systems thinking and looking at the big picture of industrial society inevitably comes to the same conclusion.

I was a "doomer" back when everything seemed fine. Nothing since 2019 has surprised me at all.

Things will continue to break down at a faster rate and more severely. However, one of my earliest realizations upon waking up to this was that as things become more obvious, people's denial will be not chipped away but rather strengthened.

The collapse of industrial civilization (and the non-zero possibility of species extinction) isn't just scary for most people, it deeply cuts into existential crisis territory. The vast majority of our strategies of copping with existence and our deep rooted fear of our inevitable death is a system of meaning largely created around our hopes in the future of society. As society collapse we are forced to start confronting things that terrify us, and the natural psychological reaction is often to just double down on not seeing it.

There are already so many things that we've normalized that would be shocking to someone from 2012: Global pandemic, land war with Russia, lake Mead on track to stop water flowing through the Hoover dam in 10 years, crop failures, supply chain crises, etc.

In a very literal sense "everything is falling apart". We have destroyed vast portions of the biosphere, we're seriously looking at ecosystem devastating ocean acidification, most of us will live to see a blue ocean event. But people will be unlikely to ever recognize this, rather they will continue to double down on "this is fine" and the associates madness and extreme cognitive dissonance required to maintain this illusion.
Yes I have, and build systems without working PREFIX support are going to be really broken and need workarounds in a lot of scenarios, not just this one. It's always going to be quite some work. I actually recoil in pain now whenever I see someone ship something with a giant makefile or a big folder full of system-specific shell scripts.

For obscure packages with a weird build system they often aren't doing the work for me, specifically because those build systems are hard to manage and nobody wants to deal with them. If you want distros to not package your software that's a great way to do it. If you want to discourage contributors from sending you patches because they can't figure out your build system then that's also a great way to do it.

If you're a big popular package like Chromium or Firefox then you can get away with having a weird build system but even then packagers don't want to deal with it past a certain point, hence browsers packaged in Snap and Flatpak...
Great suggestion, I'll check it the indieweb link
I mean the comparison to car salespeople is a bit harsh but yeah anyone who is dealmaking plays some kind of games to varying degrees.

There is a broader narrative that they are trying to point to that is LP money isn't showing up in the same way now that there are other opportunities to generate returns in the macro market. Combine that with geopolitical risks and public tech companies valuations getting crushed - the market isn't as plush as it was say 3-6 months ago. Also - look at SPACs - complete collapse of that market.

He's saying what any reasonable market watcher would say: the market is in a very turbulent time - very rich deal flow and easy money from 2021 is not what you will find in 2022 in the current environment.

Whether you believe him or not - that's your prerogative. I have found many founders to be mostly unaware of macroeconomic and/or the fundraising market conditions until they need to get money (not a slight but rather they need to focus their time elsewhere). This is a PSA to those people who need a bit of a heads up - SPAC dead, fundraising is slowing down dramatically, IPO market crickets). Hopefully it changes soon as we get some indicators we are back in a bull market and valuations get a reset to a more reasonable range.
