When working on some platforms (e.g. BeagleBoneBlack), the compilation time of C++ is a huge turnoff. Sure, you can cross-compile, but that feels like even more friction.
Templates suck because they're the wrong abstraction. Or rather, they pretend to be an abstraction when in reality they're leaky as hell.

Rust's traits are generics done right. I haven't looked at Concepts too much, I hope that they'll be better than templates.
You're right. Although it looks like they're hyping it purely on the idea the bitcoin will go up. So maybe buying bitcoin is still a good hedge.

Gamestop is a bit different. Gamestop was hyped based on I don't know what, maybe hype alone. The point is there was nothing to hedge with. With RIOT and MARA, they're hyped based on the idea that bitcoin will go up, which gives an obvious hedge.
My Twitter feed is basically the news. The first 4 of 5 posts are from established news organizations or about current events. Social media vs news media is a distinction without a difference.

What happens if I use this drug to switch to burning fat but keep eating carbohydrates? Where do they go?
I really don't agree. I think loading a bunch of client-side crud from a random web server and storing it in opaque browser buckets is super untrustworthy. I think to some degree modern web app development has gone off the rails a bit.
I meant they can actively veto it and say it seems unconstitutional. Although there is a "pocket veto" at the US presidential level. If the President doesn't sign it in 10 working days, it's considered vetoed as if he had actively done so.
I don't suppose you're saying that correlation is causation, right?
And you learned of reality, and what did you do to change it. What did you personally gain? What did you personally contribute to the collective?
I write MEV bots for a living. I can tell you that the Beanstalk "hack" was evidence of extremely poor design. One of the key security aspects of designing a DAO is that you are not supposed to let the results of a vote take effect in the same transaction or even the same block. This was entirely on the designers of that protocol. It's so negligent and downright stupid that I would be quite surprised if it weren't an inside job. The fact that it took more than a day for anyone to notice this is truly shocking.
What industry is it?
It's weird to me that so many Musk critics (not all mind, not myself..) seem so confident in the Raptor 2 / Starship program, seemingly for little reason other than 'believe the opposite of everything Elon says'

The way I see it, that project is in trouble. The last time it flew it caught fire after landing, and the time before that it blew up. I know rockets in development blowing up is nothing new for SpaceX or the industry generally, but even so things don't look so rosey to me. In one of the tests the engine was plainly seen to be burning its copper lining, which is exactly the problem with engine cycles using oxygen-rich mixtures, and this precise difficulty is why nobody has ever succeeded in making an engine like Raptor 2 before. This isn't like Merlins, there was nothing particularly novel about the Merlin engines. Gas generator cycle burning LOX / RP-1 is 1950s technology. Raptor is a new kind of engine and success is by no means a foregone conclusion; it may fail no matter how much money is thrown at it. Extant material and/or manufacturing technology may not be sufficient for this sort of engine.

As for bankrupting SpaceX; if the Raptor engines don't work, then Starship doesn't work. And if Starship doesn't work, then Starlink probably makes no economic sense (even with Starship working, it seems questionable to me.) If they can't make any of that work, they're stuck doing satellite launches on Falcon 9. Is that enough to keep SpaceX in business? I think they've already been using Starlink to buy launches from themselves to cook their books, so if Starlink is on the precipice of failure, I think the whole enterprise is at risk.

As for Elon Musk still having a lot of money, that's technically not SpaceX's money and SpaceX could go bankrupt without Elon Musk ever being at risk of bankruptcy. And would he even continue to fund SpaceX if Raptor fails?

> If his dream truly is Mars

I don't believe it is (I know he claims it, I just don't believe him. I think the whole business is about Defense contracts, particularly for massive constellations.) But assuming for the sake of argument that Mars is earnestly his plan: for that to make any sense at all he'd need a rocket like Starship. And if the Raptor 2 can't be made to work properly, then his Mars plan is kaput anyway. Why would he bail out the company if his idea for the company is a technical failure?

Your opinion can be unuseful for the simple reason it's off topic.

If you aren't American, you simply cannot understand our political issues and to dismiss them as if they aren't important (because they aren't important to you) is disrespectful.
There are some news sources that are less click baity and partisan, such as Axios, DW, or Reuters. If you can read French, courrier international is decent too.
I guess if they aren’t diligent with encoding urls that could be an attack vector because it separates query parameters.
I mean, Putin's an expansionistic genocidal gangster all on his own, but it's incontrovertible that Bush Jr. reneged on a very important anti-ballistic missile treaty with Russia and tried to position anti-missile systems in former Warsaw countries like Poland, thereby greatly aggravating the nuclear detente.

It doesn't take all that much empathy to see it from a Russian POV - your main geopolitical rival abandons a treaty with you, and begins placing military assets near your borders? Sure, it's definitely threatening, especially if you don't trust them.

It's nothing to do with their war in Ukraine, but is nevertheless real.
I’m all for engagement in news, world events and deliberate conversations.

Social media seems different in that increased feed engagement (read: revenue) for these companies can be to feed into insecurities. That’s not informational, that’s predatory.

Offering Cloud backup that is just a bit too small, due to videos and photos is a smart move by Apple.

Payment for more storage makes sure that subscription apps have an easier time getting paid.

And the high recurring cost of these apps just makes it worse.

While this position might be comfortable, I would worry about cardiovascular deseases over the long-term. Emulating bedridden people sounds even worse than sitting (for healthy people).

A standing/walking desk seems like a better direction to explore. It's much more natural to do a couple of push-ups or hang from a pull-up bar every 30 mins when you are upright already.

That's less comfortable, but certainly closer to what our bodies need to function well for decades. Lying should be reserved for evenings & nights.
That'd make him one of the last of the old-line ethologists, before the dark interregnum of the behaviorist scum began - I respect Kropotkin considerably more now than I did five minutes ago. Perhaps I'll read him after all.
P4merge is my favorite merge tool for this reason. It's also really good at solving whitespace conflicts for you.

I became familiar with it at a previous job that used perforce, and I have just kept using it with git. It's free to download, although you have to fill out an annoying form.
Personally I realised that trying to economise too much on desks is actually kinda crazy when you work out how much time one spends using the desk (like a mattress), so I went and bought a standing desk which is definitely easier than stacking cardboard boxes etc.

Still, whatever works for you.
It scares me so much that there are people out there trusting this garbage in a vehicle on public roads.
Let's make it clear that the dollar lost more often 99% of its value than bitcoin. And it never recovered.

I think this will hold in the future as well.

Or are you rather concerned with the volatility?

Because surely bitcoin crashed more often 80% than the dollar...

Twitter in chaos – Elon Musk who offered to buy Twitter turns out to a bot
> The key is SFC can now sue folks making and distributing devices with OSS software WITHOUT any permission or input from the creators and copyright holders of the software, that is what is so huge. And this is particularly important because many authors and copyright holders have different views on these issues compared to the SFC.

Sure, its easier to get standing to enforce GPL, but the legal requirements of abiding by GPL have not changed due to this decision. The only change is that GPL violations that were hard to pursue are now easier and people that have been violating GPL will be more likely to face consequences.

If this that GPL projects have lower adoption rates then that is because fewer people who would have violated the license will bow avoid it. Similarly, if fewer projects areadr available as under GPL, it is because they are adopting licenses that have fewer restrictions.

I don't personally see the advantage of having a more difficult to enforce license. Either your license accurately matches your intent in a court of law and should be enforced rigorously, or it doesn't match your intent and you should use a different license.

Selectively enforced licenses seems like selectively enforced laws: ripe for corruption.
A subset of us still use plan9, usually in the form of 9front.

Every time I think of Plan9, I get a little misty eyed and wistful. I'm just old enough to remembering time sharing systems and mainframes. These days looking at whats called cloud, I'm seeing a lot of the old architecture coming back, loosely speaking. Mobile devices are like the new dumb terminals, the browser is the shell, and the cloud is our mainframe. If you want to extend the analogy further we even pay for time in a convenient monthly subscription, whether that be Netflix's cloud or your favorite remote music service.

Circling back to plan9, it really was the ideal system, and for the way things are going these days, it's really only a matter of time before we see the return of Plan9 or something built in effigy of it. I say this with a straight face, from the filesystem to the network model, from top to bottom Plan9 was a new paradigm that extended on the original Unix system in ways we still haven't replicated today in a mainstream environment the way it was then. The way the network layer and system layer intertwined to form an actual everythings-a-file system was bonkers the first time I tried it, coming from the Linux world where this claim is often made and isn't always true.

Now that the 9 system is back in the community's hands it's just going to take one group to be the next Inferno, similar to redhat, and put on the suits and ask for money and youll see the rest of the industry start to join in. It might just be my tainted opinion as a Gopher, but we're letting good stuff go to waste, we should be evolving this technology while the creators are still around to give input about their vision.

Glenda will ride again, I just hope I'm alive to see it.
$5 of Bitcoin, if purchased five years ago, is worth like $80 now. Hardly a lotto ticket.

Obvious follow-up: why do you need to automate it? You get decent precision by sampling just 10 % of what's going on. Depending on team size, that's manageable by just one person spending half an hour on it here and there.

And in the process of asking questions and poking around this person learns a lot about what's happening.
The history and downfall of Symbolics is generally kind of tragic, but the fate of their domain being bought and turned into an SEO-optimized piece of spam by a domain squatter trying to make a quick buck on it is incredibly depressing to look at. It even mentions blockchains ffs.
Depends on the news source. There is a noticeable difference between Tweets and unverified Facebook posts, news media from Buzzfeed or Salon, articles from a local newspaper, articles from The New York Times/Washington Post, and articles from the Financial Times or The Wall Street Journal.

Not all news is designed for outrage. Several publications publish in-depth articles in a neutral way, where you can actually learn something. Investigations are also often genuinely useful for a better society. Zuckerberg's position therefore doesn't hold true for all news media.

Separately, depending on how your social media feed is set up, you can be feel jealous/lesser due to seeing the high points of the lives of people you know (depending on your personality type), seeing news on your feed, or seeing neither due to subscribing to accounts in niche fields.
The first of the three primary testnets will execute the merge next month. Current projections have the mainnet merge (the final merge) occurring around August.

Knowing your future child will develop a debilitating disease during it's productive years will be valid grounds to terminate the pregnancy, regardless of ongoing trials.

The question is, will they be able to find causal predictors with high enough certainty before essentially erasing a number of genes from future generations?

If a gene is associated with lower intelligence, will that be because it causes lower intelligence or because it's usually carried by people living in lead-polluted areas? If a gene causes an autoimmune disease, is this because the gene causes dysregulation in the immune system or is it actually sensitizing the immune system to protect the carrier from another disease that may arise with too lax immune responses, such as cancer?

These are hard questions with no answer for the majority of cases. What will end up happening is someone will throw a ML solution and claim saving lives, with no ability to repudiate the claims long-term since nobody will have children the predictor deems likely to be sick. We need to do better statistics and more sequencing, and we should leave the choice up to the parents, but this can go very wrong very fast. Nobody will blame a parent for doing an abortion when you know that the chances for something like down's syndrome are very high, but there's a very fine line to cross before we venture into designer-baby realm.
The sibling comment is correct. Lupus gets you access to all kinds of schedule 2 drugs that some people really get a kick out of. Not to mention, there's often no outside "proof" that someone's immune system is attacking them. A normal looking person walks in and says "hey I have Lupus" and the docs can't really do anything but give them pain pills.
What I find frustrating when I use C instead of C# is that I have to hunt for libraries and include them in the project or write my own implementation, even for most popular things like data structures, search algorithms, sorting algorithms, serialization, http calls. Whereas in C# the framework will provide them for me. If something is not in the standard library, I can use a directive or just reference a method from a package and the IDE will help to install the package and reference it in the project.

Go and Rust are similar in that aspect.
I stopped reading twitter and the boredom is only helping me find more interesting things to read (Kindle mainly)

But I miss being snarky with a small circuit of online acquaintances. It was ego fulfilling, dropping one liners on almost-famous people (in context) and getting some degree of recognition.

I'm getting some flak from family glued on, who want to know "where I went" but thats survivable.

On the whole, agree with the premise. Its trash. USENET pre great-re-org was slow trash, ML are trashy only in very minor ways. Fast trash is worserer.

HN is not that bad. I think it goes to moderation (Good job Dan!) which is done carefully. A blog I like has the byline "my blog my rules" and you know, for anything short of speakers corner I think this is fine: its not the commons.

Wonder how it works in Wine.
I can't think of the last time I thought about a Mapsco book. Actually, the most recent reference was a few weeks ago when I was rewatching The Wire which the particular episode was shot in 2006 or 2007. Mapsco was probably on it's way out by then. GoogMaps was out in 2005, so MapQuest and others were even available before then. (wow, mapquest was available online in '96)
Cronometer won me for the crisp UX
I'm somewhat new to gardening, but I have had pretty good luck over the last year or two saving seeds from veggies I buy at the store and then planting. Peppers (bell and hot), cantaloupe, pumpkin, etc. I went to a class about saving seeds and that worked out, though I've found that saving tomato seeds is even harder than people say it is.

I've planted some berries in the hopes of having some perennial fruit, and they are doing really well this spring!

It's too late to plant spring wheat, but I will be planning ahead for September-ish and getting a winter wheat "crop" in.

I am thinking that this weekend I will try to plant some sweet corn - perhaps a single seed packet if I can still find one at a garden shop.

My approach has been to try something, learn, get better. That's the best advice I can give.
Hm I did fine the EMP shield to be silly and sorta mentally edited it out. Maybe you're right. I still think this project is more practical than most.

>3. I'm not under the impression that Raspberry Pi's are especially durable, though the SD-card storage is probably the weakest link (though both those things probably have benefits of being common things that allow for the scavenging of replacement parts).

With as much space is available in that case, you could have a stack of spare SD cards pre-imaged ready to go in case the one in the Pi gets corrupted

>"Snark aside, why is this a recurring obsession of HN posters?"

The topic is related to technology (and thus easier to justify as relevant to the forum) and has a low barrier of entry to discuss. A significant majority of people in Western countries use social media and it doesn't require technical knowledge, so it's easier to share opinions about it.

Reading HN threads on social media is almost like consuming junk food: the arguments are predictable but comfortable and easy to digest. It's enjoyable in a perverse way, though not a real source of growth as the ideas aren't as hard to struggle with (versus threads on more technical topics).

The answer as far as I can see is to write integration tests when you want to use composability (and/or just check that the packages in question already have integration tests against each other -- increasingly many do). It's not especially hard or anything, but you need to know to do it.

In print form. That comes to your physical mailbox.

Newspapers are OK, but magazines are better, if you want "State of the world, processed and digested, after the fact, without the outrage of the moment leaking in."

I subscribe to... honestly more than I get around to reading fully, but part of it is to simply say, "Yes, I value this type of writing and information, please keep producing it."
Just imagining working in this way seems to induce a feeling of queasiness/nausea within me. Perhaps it's because I've just had a big breakfast!
Since when is Sandboxie open source?

edit: 2020. Awesome. I remember having to rely on reverse engineering to understand wtf it was doing. Now I can check!

When I was younger I wanted to start a company around automatic sandboxing very similar to Sandboxie, but dealing with Windows Kernel Drivers was miserable. Having something open source to derive inspiration and design from would have been so helpful.
Possibly, but if Codex is like similar AI text generation tools, complex systems or large software architectures with many interacting components are going to specifically be the corner cases where results are less reliable.
