It's not just how easy it is to embed, it's also really small in both code + runtime size. I've shipped it on systems with sub 8mb of total system memory(we used a preallocated 400kb block), until quickjs came along there really wasn't anything comparable. It was also much faster than anything else at the time and regularly beat v8 in the benchmarks I ran.

Unity+Unreal are the public engines out there but there's plenty of in-house engines and tool chains you don't really hear about. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still deployed in quite a few contexts.
My fellow HN-ers that's simple: Finnish and Scandinavians have historical reasons to be anti-Russians and to have a more or less deep inferiority sense due to demography and resources, they have choose neutrality in the past because that was their best option to remain in peace and prosper as much as possible, being tied mostly to UK.

No UK and USA have demanded local neoliberal rulers to join or being considered not much friend anymore, and then their government, as for instance Italian Gov. choose to betray their Citizens interest for their own economical ones, choosing to apply, of course without any public debate and vote.

IF their Citizens decide that's time to remember what Democracy means they'll organize a quick massive general strike ordering immediate resignation of their own government to go to vote and after with a new government starting the debate, if not they'll get the consequences and we from the EU as well since so far not so many Citizens start acting to going out of NATO...

Oh, no, I'm not pro-Putin, I'm a Citizen who came from a WWII Partisans family and so I recognize and can't support nor original nazis nor new one, no dictators included so while I can't support Putin being a dictator who also choose religion as a way to stay in power, I can't support as well and more (since they are here, not in another country) anglo-neoliberals and their subjects, local neoliberals traitors of their own people and countries for the sake of someone else.

I understand that neoliberals need a war to remain in power and committing a mass murder crime to make their new dream society, a copy of actual Chines one with minor variations (choosing suite&tie + black color instead of uniform and red color) but us the people need the exact opposite and seeing actual effect of propaganda... Well... I understand that due to the extreme vulnerability of many I can't live myself in a democracy, a thing that behind anger push me toward not really nice sentiments and considerations about old-classic government model with a deeply divided population and the historic outcome of such division.

I think Portuguese and French have a better expression for this: "good", not "common" sense. I'm mentioning it because this sense for design is not that common. You may not be formally trained, but you're a designer.
Yeah, I might question that line about "more risky behavior", too. [citation needed], as they say. Unless you mean "being trans" is the risky behavior?
Yup, one reason why I am no longer a manager, I switched tracks to research many years back. I felt it had become untenable with so many other people they started inserting into the process it was no longer really my call who I hired.

Also, I sort of shortened the story above, but the other intangible thing I saw others maybe would not have picked up on is when I gave all the candidates a tour around our set up, we had these Symbolics computers to do some back end AI stuff (early days stuff) and we needed a Symbolics slayer. I just saw the look in his face when he saw those things, you could tell he was truly excited about working on them. They all said they wanted to work on them of course but just how he looked at them.... I just felt like that was going to make a difference.

In today's world it would not fly if I told HR that I was choosing this guy because he looked at the computer equipment they way a dude looks at a sexy lady.
What I love about Java though, is that this new syntax is very clear and its intentions are obvious when you're reading someone else's code. It doesn't require you to hold a mountain of context in your head at all times like Swift and Kotlin do. Yes, it's verbose at times. But verbosity is a good property for a programming language because it allows the code to be read and understood with ease outside of an IDE.
I’ve been using Emacs since the early 90s. I recently started developing in TypeScript for a big project. Found out about TIDE and company-mode and it’s been absolutely mind blowing. I now have all (of maybe most?) of the capabilities that my intelij colleagues have but frankly I feel I’m way more efficient.

Bringing emacs into the 21st century with this technology is life changing. Still run it in full screen terminal mode.

My team can’t comprehend how I can ssh into a box that’s running tmux which had all my shells a full-screen eMacs instance, tons of context, history etc all waiting.

I can reboot my laptop and not loose any of that. I can ssh in with tmux and I can instantly pick up where I left off. And from any host. My laptop, work desktop, etc.

Attacking education has been bipartisan. It was absurd to attack Amway princess DeVos for pushing the same dismantling of public education that was accelerated by Arne Duncan under Obama. Democratic Party darling and shooting-concealer Rahm Emanuel closed down half of Chicago's public schools, whose entire white enrollment had already left with their vouchers to charters and privates so it didn't affect anyone who mattered. Hell, you could sell the buildings to the charters.

The US is a mostly monolingual "country of countries." They are called states because they were envisioned as separate nation-states who shared an army for purposes of self defense.

The original charter was a sort that historically never really worked anywhere and it was failing to provide funds, iirc, for paying for defense. So they gave the federal government more teeth and it became some weird beast of a sort the world had not seen before.

And here we are, with this strange beast still behaving strangely all these years later.
When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

If you ask techies to describe education, it consists of memorizing trivia. And that fits perfectly well into computerized education.

It doesn't help that so many school systems do in fact look at it that way. That's why we've gotten more and more standardized testing. They want to know they're getting value for money, so they define value in ways they can measure cheaply.
In comparison to some other places I've been to, yes, absolutely. There is a much, much greater assumption in the US that the person you're talking to is actually being honest with you than there is in some other countries. As an example, take the "dishonest used car salesman" stock character - in many other places, that is the default expected behavior of anyone selling you anything. Like going to a bazaar; the price you get will be an absolute rip-off, and you are expected to know this and argue with the store owner. That lack of trust feeds into all levels of a society. Americans might have some high-level trust issues regarding political differences, but nothing like the bone-deep understanding that everyone outside of your family or tribe is actively and constantly trying to deceive, manipulate, and take advantage of you that people who grew up in real low-trust societies have ingrained in themselves. (exceptions might be people growing up in low-trust enclaves within the greater US society - as I understand it, this is part of the reason why some inner city communities struggle to cohere and advocate for themselves effectively, under the term "crabs in a bucket syndrome"). Stuff like the Theranos revelations or that a high percentage of programming jobs applicants can't actually program is shocking to most Americans; it's par for the course in some of the places I've lived.

It's still very hard for me to design a _good_ looking website from scratch as that takes actual creativity and imagination, but after reading Refactoring UI I at least have a bunch of tactics to stop myself from designing _bad_ looking websites, because I now know exactly _what_ makes them look bad.
How exactly? Sure, space is astronomically big, but maybe life is equally astronomically unlikely. We just don't know
Yes, maybe.

I am not totally sure the green/yellow circle makes any sense though. I consider removing it.
Reproduction. It’s THE game. It always has been.
I don't have any insight on the culture side of US and I will refrain from making any conclusions.

So let's take culture aside, you have to consider power imbalance between workers in both of those countries.

In India, 10 people will line up to take your job at a moment's notice regardless of the city and conditions.

Management won't begrudgingly agree to remote work if they have options and distrust workers (usually the case here).
This looks like a really good resource, but why is it so difficult to find a somewhat up-to-date description of networking in the Linux kernel?

It seems like the least documented (at a high level, anyway) part of the kernel - if anyone knows a good resource I'd love to hear it.
It’s because of changing demographics
Same with C#, it only benchmarks an old version of mono and not .NET Core, which has received several big performance boosts in recent releases.
For me that's the only interesting discussion to be had here. Separation into female and male leagues were installed partially because of sex (so that it's fairer), but initially mainly because of gender (women must not do the same fun things we do).

Then again, it is 'unfair' that Simone Biles has the physique she has that fits to her chosen sport better than mine; Michael Phelps likewise; Alex Honnold processes fear differently from most of us, etc.
> The hurdles for starting up in the US market are astronomical, and there's only one contract manufacturer Perrigo Nutritionals which not surprisingly has a large minimum order size. ByHeart became the 4th brand to have its own factory, first in 15 years.

The regulatory hurdles for starting a brewery are even more intense (likely one of the most regulated of any consumable product short of marijuana), yet there's not been a shortage of new ones of those starting even during this current pandemic.

I think the article leans too heavily on "heavily regulated" as a blame for lack of new players in the game and ignores the economic aspects are probably the bigger player.

That division of a mature market seems fairly standard for a consumer food product. I suspect you could say much the same about peanut butter or cream cheese (both of which have had some shortages).
on trans issues:

one thing that struck me is how different views on transgenderism are in the US, for example, than my country.

In my country, transgender actually FOUGHT for the right to NOT be counted as a man or a women, and finally won the right to be counted as a third gender, with the rights that follow it.

That mean that, the slogans here are NOT, for example, that "Transwomen are Women" but instead, "transwomen are TRANSwomen" (i.e. don't lump them with man/women, labels which are considered cis-specific.) or that they demanded SEPERATE bathrooms for their gender, and DON'T want to be forced to be use men/women bathrooms.

Such opinions would be considered extremely transphobic in the US, but are what trans-people actively fought for here.

I'm not saying my country is a beacon for LGBTQ+ rights, simply pointing out that issues that the western Transgender community face (Gender Identifications issues from TERFs, or bathroom related panics) would simply be a non-issue here because the clash simply doesn't arise in the first place!

Women wouldn't feel threatened by transwomen, because they would never want to step into each other's territories in anyway.

I am not sure what the ideal is, just that western trans community might need to look at a global view and realize that perhaps what they consider transphobic, are actually sought-for rights by members of their own community in the East, and how they can better move forwards in this regards.

also, I do need to highlight that rules do not translate into ground realities, which are often bleak regardless of legislation. Discrimination and violent attacks are rampant here, we are in no way a utopia.

I recommend to any programmer, no matter how sucky is at design, to start using your program. As in enter at least 1000 times data in it, or click on tools you offer. I bet after 50 tries, you'd start redesign it, then after another 100 you'd improve its performance. By 1000 tries, even if it's still ugly at least will be easy to work with. And that will have appreciation of your users. Then you give it to an UX designer to make it beautiful. Oh, and when you get it back from said UX designer go again with data entering, to check if the designer didn't screw your previous awesomeness.

Boy, where do you get off?

>can't believe that there might be people who want to live another way

As it apparently goes for you as well. The fact that someone that would like to live outside of the city, but not want to adopt the "small town limited life experience while--knowing--their way is the only way". Anyone coming from other experiences is always a threat to these small towns so they are labeled as outsiders and always treated suspiciously instead of welcoming like they like to preach.

In Toronto, a driver took their eyes off the road, reached for a water bottle on the floor, hopped the curb, hit and killed a pedestrian, and was found not guilty.

do they have more granular says that allows for nutrition programs, teacher salaries, physical plant, materials, transportation, admin overhead (it infrastructure, elearning platforms, superintendent salary, etc)? that breakdown would go more to help understand the educational endeavor over against the political or developmental endeavors
Question for people who've implemented these kind of compression schemes: some of these mechanisms require local context (rle and s8b) how do you handle random access in these cases? Is the metadata embedded as a sort of key frame to which we have to advance before decoding the value? Or as a separate block in the headers?

RLE especially sounds like it could degenerate into a binary search per lookup, maybe aided by caching the bounds of the last run and assuming locality and linear-ish usage?

This might sound obvious, but wasn't mentioned in the article, you can also apply integer based compression schemes on dictionary encoded data.

And floating point values don't always need those 64bits when the use case and input data don't require that level of precision.
Yeah, I feel like we were just starting to make some progress towards a generation of kids that might not bully its nerds, but everything kinda went to shit.

Children make the selection. They have an impulse to inflict lasting psychological trauma on kids who are smarter than they are. Like bright feathers in the wrong forest, IQ is a detriment in an environment that's hostile to it.
I'm just being facetious about the tradeoffs some people (not you necessarily) make. Yes smalltown America doesn't have Michelin star restaurants but that's OK (and you can travel to the city for that). I've seen people say $4k rent is worth "the food". I mean come on. Cooking at home is a great skill
I am an old school java developer. Can someone explain me why this is a "feature"? I can remember by counting my fingers the times I had to use "instanceof", and it was some classical reflection/injection/instantiation framework 'vodu'. If you are using instanceof in a normal java program, you are just making it wrong. It looks like some new javascript guys arrived in the block and are trying to make java look something messy like Scala. What real world problem is this trying to solve? Are you just fucking bored because you are all out of ideas and every JDK release we need "something"? Why these JEPs only have "boxes,rectangles,A,B,I" class examples and not a simple real world class scenario? Why we need to make java "friendly" to work with generic objects? it should be hell! I cant wait for JDK 50.
I agree with your points. Right or wrong, it seems plainly evident that the reputation of a company will rub off on the workers. It's logically in the interests of workers to protest against company decisions that will harm their own reputations. But it's also logically in the interest of management to maintain control over the direction of a company, so they're going to push back whenever workers try to have their way.

My point above is simply: This isn't a battle of censors vs anticensors; it's a power struggle between workers vs managers. Workers want power to guide content, but Netflix management wants to keep that power for themselves. Netflix management are not anticensors. The power to censor is being contested, not opposed.
The problem with computers is that they can point you at a mistake, but they cannot understand why you made this mistake and explain the part that you didn't know.

This is another WaPo hit piece. Bots don't generate the same amount of revenue as regular users. In addition, if Twitter knowingly underestimated the amount of bots by tweaking their algo to undercount them, that certainly would be a reason to end the deal.

Edit: Also, does anyone else think that the bots only represent 5% of the accounts? I would be surprised if the number wasn't closer to 30%.

If they knowingly lied, that's also fraud to the shareholders/stock market.

> Before any international agreement may be ratified, [our country] must pass all the laws needed to comply with that agreement ahead of time, through regular democratic processes.

In the US it must go through the Senate, the President, and depending on things the House may have some say in the funding:

> Treaty power is a coordinated effort between the Executive branch and the Senate. The President may form and negotiate, but the treaty must be advised and consented to by a two-thirds vote in the Senate. Only after the Senate approves the treaty can the President ratify it. Once it is ratified, it becomes binding on all the states under the Supremacy Clause. While the House of Representatives does not vote on it at all, the supermajority requirement for the Senate's advice and consent to ratification makes it considerably more difficult to rally enough political support for international treaties. Also, if implementation of the treaty requires the expenditure of funds, the House of Representatives may be able to block or at least impede such implementation by refusing to vote for the appropriation of the necessary funds.

"you can't exclude half the political spectrum (either half)"

That is a changing dynamic. For one, the "halves" keep changing, sometimes it's more polarized and sometimes more moderate.

And during a lot of the 2010's, it was perfectly viable to exclude the conservative "half". They just didn't push back much, at least when it came to spending.

But now things are changing. In Florida, Disney World may be losing their special political status due to Disney's political posturing. That would have been unthinkable 5 years ago. Now, as you say, large companies have to worry about alienating anyone.

Whether this will cause further fracturing, or we go back to "drab and boring", I don't know.

There's also a young/old dynamic. Some companies feel safe appealing to young people, who they perceive as progressive. That may work, but young people are also unpredictable, so it's not necessarily a good long-term strategy.
