Nope. I'm not conflating my personal experience, because I'm not denying that other people can have different experiences. All I am saying is that blogs posts created to generate buzz and SEO-driven-traffic are not indicative of what the ecosystem really is, let alone of what an individual experience can be.

You, on the other hand seems to be claiming that the only reality that matters is the one that matches your own biases about an ecosystem that yourself seems to only participate from the periphery of SEO-spam blog posts.

It's funny that you're started by calling me a gaslighter when it is exactly what you're doing.

Claiming that React looks like Crypto/NFT only makes sense from anyone taking advice from such blogs.

The core bits have definitely not been reinvented, as the library itself hasn't really changed much to the outside in eight years other than the adoption of hooks and a few incremental advances.

Please spare the condescending "I’m happy for you" part. You're clearly not part of the industry that is using React in a stable way, and you don't seem to want to be part of. Even if your description of the React ecosystem were true, you're clearly on a personal vendetta here and has no intention to see anything change for the better.
in 2020+, if you're designing a charger that doesn't stop charging when full, then you're just a cheap ass bastard that deserves to go out of business. unfortunately, the people buying things are even more cheap and would continue to buy the cheap one to complain later when their home burns down. The only solve is that these cheap chargers are regulated into oblivion

Obviously, but it's being mentioned in the context of global wheat supplies. Only a fraction of India's production is exported and thus relevant for the rest of the world.
I say it's safe. Volkswagen group should definitely ship more cars on big ships, and if their ship catches fire again, then they should stop beating about and call it what it at that point is: sabotage.
Not directed at you, but here we are in a post about a CLI for Go, discussing Rust. It seems like every discussion of something related to Go requires someone to screech about safety (again, not you) and how Go is a terrible choice.

I use both weekly, for different things. There are numerous people who don't use Go at all that are in Go specific forums. They read Go specific threads here on HN just to make their Rust points. I poke fun at them with my statement. You just gave me the hook.

> The C# of my day job often feels like banging rocks together with its c-style enums and lack of sum types.

Hah, I agree. I switched over to F# and never looked back. It plays nicely enough with C# that my colleagues couldn't stop me (but didn't join me either).

> But there is always an article about go that makes you appreciate what you do have.

Yes. Go seems like a time machine back to about 1985.
And how much of that is exported? You know, sold to other countries. You know, the thing they're preventing now as described in the article(s). https://www.indexmundi.com/agriculture/?commodity=wheat&grap...

If India produced 10x more than the rest of the world combined but didn't sell any of it to other countries, it would be misleading to mention in the context of global wheat supplies that they're the biggest producer.
Don't worry, I love it when an article does that and we inevitably get comic book guy in the HN comments. I only came into this thread for the little dopamine hit of confirming that that comment would be here.
Just switch to the prusa site. It's much better. Competition is good an all, but there's no reason to keep using thingiverse at this point.

> Yes, really. Those transactions are heavily regulated. You cannot send a 0.000001 USD Paypal transaction for example.

How is that due to regulations? There simply isn't much demand for those types of transactions.

> Observing that there is a high amount of regulated transactions doesn't account for the demand for unregulated transactions.

The growth of demand for regulated online transactions has far out stripped the demand for unregulated online transactions. People LIKE fraud protection and having recourse if something goes wrong.

There is no evidence that bitcoin allows me types of online businesses to flourish (that don't depend on breaking the law.

> Even the die-hard cryptocurrency hater featured in the interview admits that is the heavy cost of regulation which created the market demand for cryptocurrency.

Yes, cryptocurrencies primary use is as a way of breaking laws.

We can debate which laws should exist, but the effect of cryptocurrency isn't to avoid only bad laws, but all laws. So unless you are the type of hypothetical libertarian who thinks all government is bad while enjoying a standard of living that is only possible in a regulated economy, supporting cryptocurrency as a way of opposing bad laws is nonsensical.

How things scale matters, cash makes a good anti-authority hedge because it is harder to scale sketchy shit with it despite the anonymity it provides. Cryptocurrency scales too well, it allows massive flouting of laws at scale while providing little additional benefit.

> The one tiny drawback is that the globals have to be variables instead of constants, but that’s one of those problems that really only exists in the theoretical realm.

I'd argue that needing this enums safety so bad that you go out of your way to create a struct with a protected field also lies in the same category of something you need that is mostly in the theoretical realm too.

Don't get me wrong, sometimes you want that kind of protection indeed and it's easy to mess up if you need to add validation everywhere. However, most times you can get away with just rethinking your code.

More importantly, I think the downside of using variables rather than constants makes it less safe than the alternative of relying on you always having to do validation.
attracts -as if- all its mass is concentrated at its center

That's only 100% true for a radius _outside_ of the object.

At a radius _inside_ the object, only the mass closer to the origin counts so the "effective" mass of the object drops smoothly to zero.

> This assertion is nowhere in the Go spec, not even implicitly.

The first line explicitly defines their use for defining enums. The only way it could be more clear would be to define enum, but that should be unnecessary given that the definition is usually well established, although certainly a couple of languages have tried to muddy those waters in recent times.

> `iota` is a convenience sequence generator

More importantly, it defines a set of values. The set is what differentiates an enumeration from a general bag of constants. C reaches for a enum keyword instead, but they achieve the same result of establishing a set.

> Go still does not have enums

It has enums. It doesn't have sum types. Yes, some languages call sum types enums, which is no doubt where your confusion lies.
> but not for a high-level language for building applications, services, etc

That's wrong, otherwise dynamically typed languages like Python wouldn't be so popular.

I guess I wasn't clear, but I meant the difference between C and Luajit.

This is mostly false, except perhaps for the suggestion of my co-founder being a stud.

The company survived by becoming commercially focused and profitable, which happened after we recruited a leader with experience/connections in the airline industry, not to investors. The products the company pivoted to were not more "VC-legible" than what we started out doing; they were just products that could generate enough short-term revenue to enable survival. The company hasn't raised funds from VCs; its funding has been from angels, airline/travel tech companies and family offices.

It has unquestionably taken a ton of resilience to get the company to where it was before the pandemic, then to survive the pandemic, and to find a way to thrive on the other side of it.

No. It's literally backed by the threat of force.
Right, the builtin switch statement is not exhaustive but you can quite easily create a Switch method on your enum type in Go 1.18+ that is exhaustive.
I think I would need to write you a book to capture my feelings around this correctly and in an organized manner, so apologies if it’s disjointed or comes off flippant. I’m a scientist by education and I fundamentally recognize your correctness, but it’s difficult to reconcile the experience of what is happening. When we did the tortoise roundup last year, knowing there would be 50% mortality, to put in a new solar farm and when the bulldozers arrived and started clearing the Joshua Trees, it literally hurt to watch. Now there’s the push for lithium mining and hundreds of more acres of solar farms in areas that are socially important to us. The primary benefit from all of these projects first benefits others (we net export everything) and if often feels unappreciated. For example, I think we all have collective groans when the occasional article comes from California lamenting water limitations for lawn watering while we watch Lake Mead drop to the lowest level since it was created. At the same time, I know you’re right about this becoming some other poor schleps problem and I’d never want to wish that on anyone. I realized recently that this area is resource exploited and I never understood the notion of how resource exploitation harms people mentally, but I do now. I also might be getting the most important life lesson in my 40+ years on earth - I’m a high net worth, white, tech leader, that adopted this barren place. I wouldn’t have missed a beat in the past to just call for bulldozing the desert. Man, let me tell you about “shoe on the other foot” feelings when they kick you in the jaw like this. I guess my only ask to you, or anyone that reads this comment: maybe this is the right thing to do, but please have empathy when it happens.

I consume Reddit in generally the same way I consume Twitter - I completely ignore what's trending and only look at the people/subreddits that I've made an explicit choice to follow. Twitter's algorithm gives me more leakage than Reddit's, but I find it to be a tolerable amount.
The amount of bots on most social media is just staggering.

I had a weird one on Reddit the other day, and in thinking back, I rather wish I had saved it than just reporting it.

There were a comment under one post from 2 different users that was exactly the same. It was a somewhat well though out comment on the shorter side so it caught my eye. When I looked at both the accounts they had the exact same post history, but this was the only comment on the same thread. The other comments were dups of each other on different threads, and they didn't appear to post on the same posts anywhere else in their history.

There was otherwise no other information that would have pointed at them performing any bot like behavior.
Weird standards for “nice weather”.

- no snow

Yeah, some good picks but let's not put everyone in the same basket ... the richest man in the world has revolutionized the automotive industry along the airspace industry. That's more than any human has accomplished within the modern time, and that guy is still working harder than 99% of us, while he could just enjoy the rest of his life, like many other "retired" billionaires.

A couple of years ago on reddit, someone issued a challenge to find the destination of their private Zcash transaction. Someone won the challenege, not by tracing the transaction itself, but by recognizing it was the only transparent to private, and private to transparent transactions with in a timeframe. That's why privacy needs to be mandatory like it is with Monero.

Hmm, so instead of filling the bay with 50% Li-ions, they fill it up to 100% with LFPs? I guess that sort of works but with the added mass you must get even less range than you'd have with the partial capacity setup, not to mention worse handling.

Doesn't seem like too good of an option unless they're really like a quarter of the price, which I'm not exactly seeing. They seem rather on par, with maybe a 10% reduction in price.

Since the battery is larger, yes. But per unit, no.

Ask HN: How do you manage – and remember to manage – your to-do list in 2022?
Hey HN! I'm looking for new ways to keep track of my personal to-dos. I started using Google Tasks a few years ago and stuck with it for awhile but over time I fell out of the habit and now I'm ready to declare bankruptcy on the remaining tasks. I'm especially interested in finding something always-on (or always-on-top) and maybe with an intrusive reminder to make sure it's still accurate on some kind of schedule.

Thanks!

Republican who opposes funding the FDA complains they can’t do their job quickly enough.
This title reads like the whistleblower caused the outbreak and is different than the actual title "Former employee blows whistle on baby formula production plant tied to outbreak" which I feel is more clear. The article talks about how slow the FDA was to react to a report about issues at the plant and many issues at the plant outlined in the report.

Just a note. Unfortunately the Russian's have reestablished the garrison and anti-aircraft systems on Snake Island (https://twitter.com/ArtisanalAPT/status/1525220038914895872?...)

The cost to do this when the island will likely continue to flip flop in control is callous military incompetence.
If the numbers from other countries also come from the military then the point is still valid. I got tested for conscription in the Netherlands in the 90s and a lot of people were wondering if there was any point to it (conscription was abolished soon after). So I can see an earlier generation of conscripts being much more motivated to do well.

Correct. We know nothing about how to marry General Relativity with atomic-scale physics (quantum mechanics). That's why everyone and their dog are looking for a theory of quantum gravity.

> I would argue that the supply chain is the economy, and the rest is fantasy…

An increasing and rapidly growing part of the economy is Services and Services are not that dependent on supply chains.

Also supply chains were disrupted mainly due to the world economy being overly dependent on China and China being shutdown.

In the long run this might actually be bad for China as countries pass laws to not be so dependent on China.

An environmental cause appears likely, since this trend is being observed in many countries. Both the increase in IQ to 1975 and the drop thereafter could have environmental causes.

The increase could be due to improved nutrition following WW 2, such as better access to food overall and the iodization of salt.

For the decline, my money is on PFAS (https://www.sixclasses.org/videos/PFAS) and organohalogens more generally. Iodine is also a halogen, and all the other halogenated compounds we are pumping in the environment could interfere with iodine metabolism. These compounds are in nearly everything, and we're using ever larger quantities of them.

There is evidence this affects fetal development and cognitive functioning years later (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2799472/), which is also why jurisdictions are banning flame retardants (https://www.tuvsud.com/en/e-ssentials-newsletter/consumer-pr... https://www.sixclasses.org/videos/flame-retardants )

There's things that use much more power than crypto. The regular banking system apparently uses twice as much as bitcoin, but it actually does something. It's actually useful. We can try to trim power from other things for sure, and we should, but you tell me what other system we could focus on that uses so much power for such little value.

“The new company will be led by Nadav Goshen, current MakerBot CEO, and Jürgen von Hollen, current Ultimaker CEO, who will act as Co-CEOs, with Nadav managing operations and R&D and Jürgen managing the commercial functions.“

How well does this type of mergers-of-equals work out, generally? It seems like an inherently fraught arrangement, to have two CEOs, even if they nominally have different responsibilities.

The other problem is that Thingiverse is dated and not well maintained; it has received a lot of criticism from the maker community. Doesn’t bode well if their primary showcase is treated like an afterthought.

Array languages might make good maths notation. It's terse and easy to write, and there's a logical naming scheme (for instance, matrix multiplication is just (+/*)\: ). I suppose the trick is to think of (+/*)\: as one unit.
My solution to this was not to look at the front page and heavy RES filtering for my own personal preferences. It worked well.

But eventually the push to gentrify reddit from the venture capitalists demanding profit on their millions made reddit corporate start banning even completely legit, but unprofitably controversial, subreddits. I left after they banned r/gundeals for having the temerity to exist and post links to and discuss firearms and firearm accessory deals online.

All the bot stuff you're talking about came well after the gentrification and switch to user profile centered posting to absorb the Facebook refugees. It seems like the Facebook bots just followed the Facebook users to reddit.
