Reminds me of what they say about Formula 1 racing: The most important thing for a driver is to beat the other driver on their own team (there are 2 drivers per team).

And arguably this principle holds for most team members in any organization - since it’s only very few at the very top that actually get held accountable for overall team success.
I miss the old days when we had 1000+ HP monsters driven with one hand on the wheel the other on the shifter through the crazy tight turns at Monaco. Yes it was insane and dangerous but it was incredible.

This argument has been used against every environmental regulation since the 70s. It wasn't a good argument then and it still isn't. Yes, obviously it would be better if we could get every country to agree on reducing pollution. That doesn't mean it's pointless to reduce emissions even if it's localized to only certain countries.

I also hope we stop doing this to people.

But on the topic of hanging, just out of curiosity, I'd like to mention: I've been reading about the benefits of dead hangs for shoulder health, and I've seen a few comments from people who claim that dead hangs actually did make them taller. I wonder whether it's true.
A lot of men who say they don't like makeup actually do like it without knowing. They just know so little about the makeup world that they don't recognize the "natural" look (while still preferring it). So I would take statements like "I don't like makeup" with a grain of salt, and parse them as "I like the natural look but don't like strong makeup" (what you said basically). Which isn't an uncommon preference at all.

Ask HN: Modern Alternatives to C
Recently with a group of friends I decided to start creating a web browser from the ground up using as few libraries as possible and I wanted to do it in C. I persuaded everyone to learn and start using C, because I personally had a sweet spot for C and I've seen many great applications written in C so I wanted to pay homage to the great developers who coded great software in C.

But none of us were familiar with C and graphical libraries such as Xlib and Cairo so it was and is a big learning experience for all of us. However, learning C and Xlib has become a massive hurdle for us. The problem is that C is a remarkably old language and the available learning resources are very old. Most of the information in books have become obsolete as standards and libraries have changed and and updated. The C communities have turned into ghost-towns with the latest posts being from several years ago. And worst of all, an unbelievably large chunk of C code on the internet cannot be compiled due to changes in standards and changes in libraries.

I think while it was a novel attempt to try to do the whole project in C with the bare minimums, it is very unproductive. It took out the confidence and fire in all of us so now I'm looking at some of the modern languages as a replacement for C. I still would like to keep it relatively low leveled and be in control. From my knowledge GO and Rust seem to be a modern take on C.

GO and Rust have caught my attention because they seem to have an active community, both allow the programmer to be in charge, and they perform quite well.

I'm asking you for advice and really like to hear your thoughts. Do you think Rust or GO would be suitable? Do you recommend other languages? What do you think?

I am interested to read your thoughts.

On the one hand, I don't like notebooks, because they make it hard to reorganize notes and I prefer electronic notes, because they take less space. However, I use notebooks when I have to think and they help me concentrate. So while I prefer to organize things electronically, I feel that the thinking process actually works better for me, with pen and paper in front of me.

Usually, I make some notes while thinking things through and return to the PC to implement them afterward (Code as well as PowerPoint).

So I can't emphasize this enough:

> They aren’t a record of my thinking process. They are my thinking process.
"On themselves". If anyone believes that, they could tell them that they're free to contribute more on top of what they're forced to pay.

As usual, "Patriotic" is used when the opposite is true.
Of course, this is a part of public relations for a corporation.

But usually when we people talk about "corporate pr" they talk about weasel words, non-committal statements, and deflecting blame away from them. I think this PIR does a decent job of acknowledging the mistakes they make and how they can improve.
>append is the opposite of magic

You cannot write the append function in pre-go 1.18. That is what I mean by magic. The reason it's given to you because it would be painful to build a function like append for every slice type. That's also why it gets to have blessed nil properties.
Just date taller women. The fixation on this is a cope mainly found in middle-height American white women, nobody else cares.
What about Zig?
I looked up these studies as these numbers didn't seem and I think there's some bias in the way they were done. These are based off of bra sizes sold, rather than actual breast size. There are a number of reasons why that would bias the numbers towards a larger size. Some studies that focus on self assessments rather than bras sold seems to target the average for the US at a C cup.
I'm not denying there's a preference. I'm saying dating apps amplify them by putting them front in centre. Where as you meet and have a good rapport with someone IRL you're not probably not sitting there thinking "Wait is he an inch shorter than my minimum height on tinder?"
Fair enough, I'd then rephrase that women generally attempt to select at equal or higher level (in wealth, status, strength) and will at times settle for the closest match to that ambition. Men are far more lax in their criteria.

We could just accept that as "the way it is", but modern developments in this dynamic create horrendous imbalances. There was an excellent article about it a while ago, but I don't have the link, so I'll try to reproduce the gist of it.

Assume the behavior that women select "above" them. Now add the trend where women are rapidly rising in their economic status. The logical outcome is that a growing number of women are basically selecting for a "super man", that are in very short supply. They need to be even more economically successful than before, and of course easy on the eyes and able to do male chores. And emotionally mature/advanced. And....and.....and....and.

This dynamic is often confirmed by research on dating sites where the vast majority of female attention goes to the "top" 10% of men, whilst everybody else is pretty much ignored. This in turn creates a counter-reaction where the ignored men basically just use a drag net, posting many low effort messages (any love is good love) that confirm to the women that those men are of a poor quality.

For sure, a lot of settlement and compromises will happen to match more than just 10%, but the point of the article was that the elevated criteria leaves behind an enormous group of men, in the US running into the millions.

These men might be low wage workers with average looks, and not much else going for them. This used to be enough, but it isn't anymore. They get no match. Ever. Many run into depression, start drinking, end up on the streets, kill themselves.

The reason I'm mentioning this is because it's worthy to know this, it's a fairly new development that few talk about. And I say it to highlight how cruel our society is towards men at the bottom. If as a man you don't make it on your own, there's zero empathy.

I'll be hated for saying it, but women play a decisive role in this dynamic. Whilst for sure they can date whoever they want, the stubborn refusal to even consider vast groups of men based on their wealth or height is inhumane. I find it particularly hypocritical in light of modern feminism where it's often expressed how household and childcare tasks should be more equally divided.

These men would be an ideal fit. They'd have the less important job, thus more ability to do it. I'm sure that amidst millions of such men, one can find a nice guy with reasonable looks.

But no. They're not even considered. I guess the point wasn't equality after all. The patriarchy is powered by women.
No where in this does the NYT call for banning Mr.Carlson. The slides are simply an in depth data analysis of the words that come directly out of his mouth.
Just don't go for girls who want tall guys? It is not that hard?

People like what they like. You can't force girls to like short men or ugly men or poor men or <insert whatever> here.

I'm speaking as 5'3" Asian man living in Western country where the majority are taller than me.

Hear me out, in my country there's this dude who's tall, relatively good looking. Married someone who's not only short, but lack of 4 limbs, and not good looking (actually people said she's ugly). They are living happily.

There's also a tall white girl who met this dude who's brown skinned, ugly, short, and only work as a poor fisherman. They got married, to the point that the white girl converted into his religion (Islam). Of course, the dude got mocked like crazy. They are living happily.

There are many fish in the sea. There are many examples of girls who date/marry shorter/uglier guys and not just for money. There are also things you can work on to compensate your height.

Or just don't think about height at all. You do you. Eventually you'll find someone with your charisma.

If you are worried about your height that much, even me as a man find it cringy and pathetic.
It's funny, I purposely avoid this so each period of my life using it has a memberable notebook style I can look at on the shelf and reference quickly if I need to.

Best to limit corticosteroids if you can. Azelastine was approved to go OTC last year and is a half-decent antihistamine nasal spray. Hopefully it will be available stores this summer.

Nothing works quite as good as a corticosteroid of course, but azelastine controls my symptoms without having to rely on steroids.

"Basically this means that in modern dating, if you are short, you are very likely to die alone and this trend will only get worse in the future."

You're being overly dramatic and don't have any to support your claim. It is not really necessary to date dozens of women before getting married.

Dating many women in the first place is only the norm in a few western countries.

Also, I believe the dating apps are mostly used for casual sex, so the statistics there are not really relevant in the end.

Well, yes, but he was short, so who cares what he says? (/s, obviously)

Incidentally, A. T. Great is maybe evidence that this is a modern fixation, not something that's always been with us. It's fairly clear that he was unusually short, but there's little indication that anyone thought much of it; by contrast, the idea that Napoleon (who wasn't even short!) was short was a propaganda point for the UK.
Everyone is now paying in rubles.
The selective pressure is actually for shorter people as all the taller people were killed in WW1.
Ok. Everyone now paying in rubles.
These are outliers, and no, not everyone "finds someone" with their charisma. Life is a brutal game and good on these men for trying to find advantages to allow them to play more fairly.
I am designing a microchip for gravitational wave measurements, at the same time trying to understand and model the problems not showing in the simulations of the previously designed chips. We will soon begin with the design of new chips for the next generation Large Hadron Collider. In my opinion, in addition to what I am working on, the freedom in the working environment and colleagues' love for what they are doing is one of the main reasons I am having a lot of fun at work.
There is a common misconception that being willing to market products at LGBT people is "ideological leftism". Even worse is if they think supporting a center-right candidate like Hillary Clinton is "ideological leftism".

> Is Valve really going to file a lawsuit against him and argue in court whether this actually happened or not?

They most likely won't, you are correct. But it just simply doesn't seem to be worth the trouble on the off-chance that they will decide to do it.

The whole thing is just a situation where you risk a lot (even if the chance of that risk materializing is very small), but you aren't really gaining anything by taking the risk. What's the point of taking the risk of naming the company, if you can tell the entire story just as fine without naming them and reducing the risk to zero?
In life or death situations where seconds count, it’s best to not have to think about a decision tree.

Actually python fails hard and fast. This is very different from javascript. It actually makes python safer then C++ even though python is dynamically typed.

It is far easier to debug a error caused by out of bounds memory writing/reading in python then it is in a strictly typed language like C++.

This is because C++ doesn't actually fail hard and fast when you do this.

If you ever programmed extensively in both languages you will actually see that python is by far less error prone then C++ despite being untyped. Javascript is actually the same, though a little worse then python because how an undefined can get propagated deep into a program.

Still even though an undefined is hard to debug in javascript, it's still traceable through a step by step methodology. A C++ seg fault is not always so straight forward.

I would argue that it doesn't depend on whether the language is dynamically typed, but more on the traceability of crashes.

That's not true at all. He talks a lot about land rent, and argues that at the end of the day a farmer who rents crappy land and a farmer that rents good land should make about the same, since the difference in rents will about balance the difference in yields. A tenant farmer is a small businessman, not an employee.

Obligatory HN comment about the mobile site being bad:

It's almost impressive how bad it is on my phone.

The content takes up 2/3 of the page horizontally to make room for the logo on the side.

I get GNU and it's culture are less about mobile and more about *nixy desktops/laptops/servers, but it takes more effort to break things like this than letting the browser do it's natural thing most of the time.
> Google is running an app store. Why should they have any right to involvement whatsoever after the app has been installed?

Running a store means deciding what goes on the shelves. The only features that Google could use to decide whether they want to sell an app are the features that are apparent after installation. Your argument would suggest that they shouldn't be allowed to curate their content at all.
Move to India! You’ll be average height and being white will be a big plus.

Also, I'll observe that the median Hispanic man in America is a hair under 5' 7" (66.7"), yet Hispanic couples account for almost a quarter of births in America. Just a data point!
I think most industries could do way better by cutting exec and management pay during hard times than laying people off entirely.

The layoff, rehire cycle is a clear demonstration of how management wants to have their cake, eat it too, succeeding at it for a short time and then complaining that they can't find any workers.

I once wrote about using GnuCash as a freelance solo developer at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/using-gnucash-as-a-freelancer....

I started using it in 2017 and still use it today. It's still really solid and makes filing quarterly taxes not too painful. In my opinion it's one of the best tools out there if you like your privacy and don't want to link your bank accounts to a third party service.

Don't be surprised if a later law piggybacks onto this and requires similar filters for preventing the spread of "terrorist" content, then "foreign disinformation".

Like with the Snowden leaks, it would probably be decades before we found out that such a law created a system of blackboxes and secret warrants that were used in unconstitutional ways against law-abiding citizens.
In my case it was tied to how many shares or options you held.

I guess your description of the product omitted the "one must use a special build of Firefox" part because when I go to https://app.replay.io with a non-magic browser, it is a white page. However, after downloading your copy of Firefox, it seems to default to app.replay.io and presents a login page

Confusingly, however, clicking on the "Sign in" button launches a link in my system's browser. Fascinating.

> The data privacy and security approach is described at https://www.replay.io/security-privacy

Fine, but my experience with these time traveling session recording frameworks is that they exfiltrate all events to The Cloud, so I wondered how any user of a website that uses that technology would give consent to being monitored in that way. However, after hearing you say "download the browser," maybe that's where the misunderstanding happened

Is it a development time tool, or a sniffer that is designed to be included in a "script" tag on random websites and record all interactions? because those are entirely different threat models

> If you're seeing a bug in our client app, could you either try using it again and see if it's fixed now?

I dunno if "client app" means your rebrand of Firefox, or https://app.replay.io. If the former, well, that's not at all what I was testing. If the latter, no, definitely not fixed

Yes, I’ve noticed you can’t meet a rationalist without them trying to recruit you to scientific racism in the first 10 minutes. Mostly because they don’t know what “heritable” means and think all evidence should be believed just because it’s passed in front of their eyes and someone called it evidence.
The difference is that, unless you’re using a SQL database with direct/extended support for write-once immutability or a data model designed for it, once the transaction exits every successful committed change is ~final.

A write-once immutability design (whether in the DB itself, or an extension, or a userspace implementation) lets you reconsider and rework mistakes after they’re committed, not unlike how you might do with git rebase etc.
