That has been the case for years now. I genuinely thought it had already happened because last I heard of it the merge was supposed to happen mid-last year or something.

At this point this merge will occur when HL3 is released, that is, never.
To define a custom style in a word processing context means to define "a group of settings that I can apply at will to parts of the text".

That is, I should be able to define a "Code block" style that should appear in the same dropdown where google docs lets you select heading levels. When I select that "Code block" style, the app should format the selected bit of text according to the syte's definition. For instance: use a monospace typeface, apply some margins to this paragraph and paint a gray background on it.

Likewise, I should be able to update the style definition and all code blocks should update accordingly.

This is very basic functionality that has existed in word processors since... forever. Large and/or more complex documents are simply much much more painful to maintain/evolve without this feature.
Only electric vehicles that support unlock via BLE proximity.

However, it will impact all electric locks that support this very same functionality as its a fundamental limitation of how BLE is implemented on cell phones. Trying to be more prescriptive on the latency or other parameters under the locks control will make the user experience significantly more frustrating and unreliable, crippling the feature.

Even Torvalds seems open to Rust. I think the whole world is paying attention.

There's inertia, and some people don't think Rust is ready, but it seems like more and more people want to see that C++ gets replaced.

Most of the arguments I see for C are ecosystem or legacy related, purely based on a preference for simplicity or an assumption that it's always better, or not technical at all("Real programmers" feeling insulted by languages that try to hold your hand, or preferring the challenge of C).
Dunning-Kruger is the relevant theory here: Maybe we have too many self-assessed smart people, and too few self-doubting ones.
I wish I had your experience with Kaiser. I've hit that conflict of interest multiple times. Most recently, after going through triage and waiting six weeks for an appointment, and after half way through it with [specialist], I learn that they're actually not the specialist I thought I was getting and just performing triage. This person lacked even basic knowledge on the topic, and none of the classes or groups she can find actually address the issue in question. When our time is almost up she finally decides to lookup a specialist. There's only one available with only one date available in another couple months. But she's only looking in one geographical region because she doesn't have access to data for the other region that can also serve us. If I book this appointment, she informs me I won't be able to find another specialist in the other region because a patient can be assigned to only one specialist. So it seems data actually is integrated across Kaiser's "regions", but only so far as to support their bottom line.

Unsure about that.. I don't think Australia has been isolated from the rippling effects of price increases of grain and energy, that is one effect of the war in Ukraine. Probably not as much affected as many other countries, but I think you would still import products from countries where these effects are significant, and which have had to raise their prices due to it.
> a law that requires discrimination based on race/gender/etc

This is a semantic matter that largely depends on context, but more typically, it is not considered "discrimination" in the legal or usual common sense when it's in reality a form of "affirmative action".

I'm just pointing this out to distinguish the case where "discrimination" can have positive meaning with that where it has pejorative meaning. When making value judgments either way, overloaded word choices can cause more harm than good.

I'd still give some time. People will most likely be more inclined towards crypto when they start understanding having power in their hands instead of authorities is much more important than they envisioned.

I'm seeing it now. All one needs is a heavily corrupted government.
I think I agree with your claim that writing tests would be a super set in terms of covering the use cases of interfaces. But

1) Testing is such a PAIN in Julia. You HAVE to run all the tests every time. You HAVE to write tests in a separate folder. Multiple dispatch and composibility prevent having confidence that your tests cover all the cases.

2) In a lot of cases, interfaces improve readability of the code. Being able to just look at code in a large code base and know which interfaces are implemented + need to be implemented is such an advantage

3) Static analysis tooling can provide linting. This doesn't even have to be implemented by the core team at the moment. The lack of interface limits any kind of tooling to be developed.

All in all, when I write Julia code, I know I have to write EXTENSIVE tests. Even more tests than I have to write with Python (with mypy). Almost an order of magnitude more tests than I have to write with Rust.

Sometimes it feels like I spend more time writing / running tests than adding features to our packages. And that is honestly just not fun for me, let alone for other scientists and researchers on my team.

I’m familiar with some of these, and yes they are the less scammy and more serious projects.

Bitcoin itself was a genuine attempt at peer to peer cash too.

Problem is the technology sucks and can’t scale. The trade offs are immense. DNS works great and is decentralised in all the meaningful ways. Nano network is currently struggling cos of one script kiddie, and puts everyone’s bank balance out there for the world to see.

Honest intentions and even innovative ideas are all well and good. But replacing the current financial system, or DNS or whatever is a massive technical challenge.

The trade offs in efficiency, scalability, even privacy with blockchain solutions, just to get decentralisation, are far too high.

That part is not economy-related, so I really don’t see how is it different than under capitalism. It all depends on the democracy axis, and how well minorities are represented.
Eh, one could argue that this is similar to the short term/long term memory divide in humans. We tend to suck at new things until we sleep on it and update our weights...

The point was, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Someone is paying one way or the other. Comparing a few volunteers to trillion dollar organizations or VC projects is a little silly, is it not?

Not to mention "modern design" is often worse in a number of ways.

Inkscape is an incredible achievement with the amount of resources it has had available. If you can do better, do so. I'm willing to bet a comparable program is 1000x more work than you anticipate.

I agree. As far as I understood the issue was not with the money spent on energy but with the energy spent, no?

> So, $1.5 billion per month of fresh money needed to offset this pressure on Bitcoin price.

If I understand correctly, you're saying that BTC inflation is a problem and I believe this is true, both in the economic and ecological sense.

But there was no way in 2009 to foresee the optimal inflation rate (halving every 4 years isn't too bad actually) and modifying it now defeats the founding principles of BTC, so it'd be a big no no. So it was kind of a trade off and will continue to be, every 4 years a bit less though unless we hit hyperbitcoinization.

From an economic point of view the investment into bitcoin is only ever relative to other assets and most of them inflate far more (relative to their mcap).

It's a commendable piece in a practical sense because data you haven't collected is data you cannot harm someone with in general, not just on this front, but make no mistake: A government that does not respect the bodily autonomy of women isn't going to respect privacy for too long if it enables the former.

When communications security gets into the way of authority it's the next thing on the chopping block, which has already been the case over the last two decades.

* attention hoarding

Of course, forums and HN are social media and can be toxic as well.

> $3.5 Billion annually

This number really needs to be scrutinized and should be public how it is calculated and what assumptions were used to compute it.

I've worked in several giant corporations which function like a small government – given the right political posture and networking, you can get pretty much any program approved. Numbers get skewed to support a number of incentives.

I've also worked in the government sector and have witnessed how $MM projects are managed, costed and approved. None of it inspires any confidence.

Does anyone have details of how this $3.5B ROI? Really, this is the meat of their argument and the people that voted for it. Often things like opportunity costs are ignored because they're difficult to calculate.
This is has been a popular topic for decades and I feel like most people get two fundamentals always twisted. Syntax and semantics. Syntax != Semantics.

Code readability = syntax that make semantics obvious.

If a block of code is written in an imperative style or functional style doesn't matter. Ask yourself instead, are the semantics clear? Are we coping or moving the values? Are we cloning the references? Are we iterating over mutable references or copies of the value?

A good language, with good code readability, makes semantics obvious. A good programmer, encourages good readability. With good readability we don't have doubts about what a piece of code is doing.

Inkscape is not for basic tasks, and shouldn't be dumbed-down imho. Yes, (you're about to say) software can always be improved.

As a mostly web/app programmer Inkscape is a great tool to do minor alterations to icons, logos etc.

Change an icon to use fills instead of strokes? No problem. Change colours? No problem. Align the image in the middle of viewport? Remove excessive spacing? Make icons from different sources the same size? Grab a logo from a PDF? No problem.

Though my days as an aspiring graphics designer are long past, I would think that Inkscape is also a good tool for creating logos and icons. The node editor really is quite good.

For web/app design there are a lot of shortcomings though. There's no dynamic snapping, filters on groups (e.g. drop shadows), reusable components. The text editor is also very basic and counter-intuitive.
I prefer to have more monitors connected that Integrated GPUs will support.

I don’t think it is because I can’t follow people (can I??). At least my use of it is only hitting the homepage and the occasional search. More similar to a newspaper with better comments. I agree that HN is social as in community but “social media” has a very tainted definition in my mind that mostly involves following a predefined set of people, creating all kinds of positive and negative side effects. HN belongs more to forums in my mind. I wouldn’t consider forums or IRC social media, at the same time I understand other persons might see it differently.
Not many Toronto datapoints on levels.fyi for Microsoft, but it looks like their median Canadian comp is $146k cad for data points in the last year. Which is probably enough to afford living in Toronto. The higher end (90th percentile) is $262k cad, which is definitely enough. However, that is lower than you’d probably get in Redmond, though I’m not sure by how much exactly.
Crypto is funny in this regard.

It has decentralised nodes but the protocol and software development is often very centralised to a small team. Bitcoin’s been upgraded many times.

There’s no meaningful attempt at an open, IETF style approach to reaching consensus on changes to the protocol. Forks are more common.
Is all that is going on in DeFi just self-referential?

I mean, there is money moved around all the time, there are more and more clever and complex systems.

But are they connected to the real world in some way?

For example, the stock market is. It lets people with savings invest those savings in companies that produce real world goods and services.

Another example is a bank. A bank can loan money to people who want to spend now what they will earn later.

But DeFi? Is anything happening there that has value to mankind? Or is it all a zero-sum game between crypto traders?

I may as well throw my hat into the ring: https://github.com/lelanthran/libds

I decided that I wanted to be able to simply drop a single .h file and a single .c file into any project without have to build a `libBlah.so` and link it to every project that needed (for example) a hashmap.

The practical result is that using the hashmap only requires me to copy the header and source files into the calling project.

It does build as a standalone library too, so you can link it if you want.

My primary reason for starting this is that I was pretty unsatisfied with all of the string libraries for C. When all I want to do is concatenate multiple strings together, I don't want to have to convert between `char *` and `struct stringtype *` everywhere.

The string functions are very useful as they all operate on the standard `char *` (nul-terminated) type.

Unless we are talking about something like Z80, 6502, PIC, AVR and similar low end CPUs, which hardly full support even C89, all modern CPUs have C++ compilers available.

Even if they aren't, people absolutely should be able to bootstrap new platforms from scratch. It's important to have confidence in our tools, in our ability to rebuild from scratch, and to be safe against the "trusting trust" attack among other things.

Lately I've been catching up on the state of the art in bootstrapping. Check out the live-bootstrap project. stage0 starts with a seed "compiler" of a couple hundred bytes that basically turns hex codes into bytes while stripping comments. A series of such text files per architecture work their way up to a full macro assembler, which is then used to write a mostly architecture-independent minimal C compiler, which then builds a larger compiler written in this subset of C. This then bootstraps a Scheme in which a full C compiler (mescc) is written, which then builds TinyCC, which then builds GCC 4, which works its way up to modern GCC for C++... It's a fascinating read:

Even if no one is "using" this it should still be a primary motivator for keeping C simple.
