> I don't agree it's a good indication of competence

my statement was that it's "a proxy, however weak and indirect, for your competence"
You're being sarky? Maybe it's too obvious advice, especially my emphasis on a 'good' project but I've seen some pretty pathetic ones inc. someone here who complained no-one was impressed with his work. I looked at his github and it was crap and bulked up with 100s of megs of quite pointless (and uncompressed!) textual test data.

Maybe mine's a poor suggestion but I really do wish you the best, it's hard being in that position.
Can a state make something a felony?? I thought that only applied to federal laws.

I've never visited the US but I thought a felony meant breaking federal laws.
> All this stuff is mentioned in the blog post itself, some of it even in the opening TLDR.

Yes. And...it was a surprise, people found the blog post's contents inconsistent with the HN title "Uber Uses Zig". People identify Zig as the language, not the toolchain, in part for the reasons I just described. You mentioned the website describes the toolchain, but I don't think it did it as well as it could.

As the VP of community for Zig, do you want to be telling everyone on HN that they're wrong? Or do you want to be welcoming, to build a Zig website that helps people quickly understand what Zig is, etc.?

Interesting, this comment is the first I've learned/noticed that Apple Cash switched to the Visa network. As an Apple Cash user for some time (via the Apple Card and its Daily Cash), previously the Apple Cash card was on the Discover network and that limited its usefulness somewhat because Discover as a network is accepted by a lot fewer vendors than the top 2 of Visa/Mastercard. It's nice to know that it switched to the more common network.

(Also a neat part of a virtual card: checking in the Apple Wallet I can see that the card already switched numbers/networks for me. I don't need to wait for a replacement card. If not for this comment I wouldn't have even thought to check if it had switched, just transparent in the background. I probably got an email on it I ignored if I had wanted to know sooner, but there are so many emails.)

> I don't say this because I think we should just take the venerable professor's word for it, but because accusations in general, if they're vague enough, are impossible to defend against.

I have my doubts on this, because widespread use of sealed recommendation letters already make blackballing/indefensible accusations sort of the norm in academia, but in this case biased against students. When a student gets the courage to complain in the open, I tend to see it as making the playing field more even.

I think a Glassdoor-like site, but for academic advisors and research groups would be quite popular.
So you dispute the information about abortion laws by country, or are you just going to devolve into a argumentum ad verecundiam fallacy?

FWIW, the SPLC is an extremist hate group from my perspective.

But neither of these things changes the fact that the USA has extraordinarily permissive abortion laws.
Thanks for publishing this, it was an interesting look into the topic!

Can you explain at a higher level why Uber has the need to go to such a lower level with its programming? What services need the kind of speed that Go, Zig, and the like provide in particular? I guess I was kind of surprised to see a conversation about low-level compilation of programs being super related to Uber's core mission(s)?
Probably the first thing to call out is that solving cross-plat UI in the general case is a non-goal for Adaptive Cards. It's not intended to replace e.g. ReactNative. Adaptive Cards exists to allow small snippets of card-like UI to be defined and shared across platforms.

The problem with using HTML (or a subset thereof) to solve this problem is that it necessarily requires HTML rendering on every platform you want to support.

If your intent as a dev is to integrate card-like experiences into an existing app, requiring a web rendering surface might be too heavyweight... and even if apps chose to adopt web rendering, there would still be the issue of getting styling to line up.

The goal of Adaptive Cards is to use a platform's native rendering and controls. Apps should get native performance with native styling.

Of note, these cards may not be originating from within your team, so there's no way to guarantee that card authors will make design choices that fit within the design language of your app. The solution is to only allow for semantic styling choices (e.g. card author can't specify "Ubuntu Mono" as the font, but can specify "monospace"). The app hosting the card gets to define how these semantic choices are actually implemented.

> Liberals have extremist wings (like Antifa) just like conservatives do.

OK where's the anti-fascist extremism here in the US (which is the relevant region of this discussion) that's shutting down discussions?

If you look at Wikipedia's extensive (but non-exhaustive) page about Terrorism in the United States there's just a single entry for an Antifa activist:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States

...but there's a number of entries for:

* Anti-abortion violence
* Antisemitism
* Right-wing and anti-government extremism
* White nationalism and white supremacy

There's other topics covered as well but I chose those because they seem to be most aligned with today's conservatives. There's not really, "both sides" here. Today's conservatives (aka "the right") seem to have a monopoly on violence as well as "shutting down discussion" of various topics...

https://www.advocate.com/law/2022/3/29/16-states-pushing-don...

So again, definitely not a "both sides" issue. Bringing up Antifa as some sort of equivalency is absolutely ridiculous.

A commercial company founded by pirates!

The incident seems actually pretty typical to me. There's often an element of provocation, a degree of legal ambiguity, often a degree of moral ambiguity about the laws themselves (extraterritoriality etc). My guess would be that the Nationalists would have seen it as fully within their rights to seize a merchant vessel in China for military purposes.

The attack stands out because it comes in just in the tail of the first world war, and it's a naval bombardment of the civilian city of an allied power. It's unlikely (but possible) that a chinese person who had served on the western front alongside the british might have returned home only to be blown up by a british shell! It's also recent enough that it's presumably within living memory for some people who live in the area.

It's also an odd time, because at that point, the british and japanese were close allies, and were mentioned in the same breath by the chinese.

Wait. Aren't tags immutable?
Suppose that an omniscient moral Oracle decided to reveal that the correct point before which abortions should be allowed was indeed somewhere strictly between the two bookends you mention. (Let's say that a super-majority of the public are indeed somewhere in this "middle ground", and, in a secular democracy, that's as close to an omniscient moral Oracle as you might be able to find).

Now suppose that you are asked to decide where exactly that line is, taking into account this knowledge from the Oracle. But, imagine that at some point in the future, the Oracle might reveal where the line should have been drawn, and if your guess is a higher number than the Oracle's, then you are retrospectively guilty of manslaughter of all the zygotes/babies that were aborted at an age between your number and the Oracle's.

I suspect that in this hypothetical scenario, you would pick "a five-cell zygote should be protected from abortion" as the line.

>Liberals have extremist wings (like Antifa)

Antifa[1] generally aren't Liberals, except in the overly-broad definition where anyone who opposed fascism is antifa. American Antifa is based on the German Antifa, which is explicitly leftist and anticapitalist, and the majority of self-identified American Antifa are the same.

GP is talking about political Liberalism[2], of which open discussion is a core tenet. US politics has muddied the term "liberalism" to be essentially meaningless, but as far as words have actual meanings, GP is correct.

(The word you're looking for might be "progressives", if you're trying to describe "people left of what the US calls conservatives")

Yeah, a friend of mine has a PhD in Economics, that he got while working full-time at FDIC. I know a number of people working full-time at government research labs in various math and science fields that are PhD candidates. The part-time PhD seems like it's extremely common as long as there is real, employment-market demand for that PhD, too.

On the other hand, all the history PhDs I know can't even get work at their own university.

I think CBinding.jl could be helpful if one wanted to write a target-specific shim library in C and link against it. I would expect that some of the glue is going to be easier to write in C than in Julia, and you can play some tricks with macros to create bare modules [1] within some kind of `@arduino_setup`/`@arduino_loop`-style blocks.

Edit: By the way, those target-specific shims might already exist as part of the Arduino IDE. PlatformIO [2] is also another possible collider of these types of platform-specific glues.

This works 10x with government.

You'd be amazed how many things you can do - physical things you do with your hands, like, say, turning a storage room into an office, a thing I actually did - if you just ignore people telling you you aren't allowed to. If you ask the question "what will happen if I ignore this policy", and the answer is not "I will get a pay cut" or "I will get fired," then the policy in question isn't actually a policy. It's just a suggestion.

Figuring your management's pain points is also very very helpful. I work in a building with metal walls and no windows. As a consequence we get no cell service in the building. We've been asking for cell repeaters for nearly fifteen years; we were always told "we can't do that, it's a personal service provided to employees, we can't pay for personal services."

Eventually the fire alarm went out - for 18 MONTHS. During a lab wide conference call I pointed out that in case of a fire there was no way to alert employees in the building. They said "we'll send cell phone alerts", and I replied that as they knew, because I had been telling them every year for fifteen years, there was no cell service in the building, and that this was a lawsuit waiting for the next building fire.

Guess what is being installed as we speak?
It takes a lot of time and education to understand the necessary parts. A bit of economics, a bit of history, a bit of social psychology.

> Homelessness among U.S. military veterans, for example, has been cut nearly in half over the past decade through a combination of housing subsidies and social services.

Yep, about a decade ago I was technically homeless but the VA found me a veteran’s shelter so I could get back on my feet. You only have to ask and they will help you.

Though… three or four years ago the woman who my landlord hired got tired of my late rent shenanigans and forced me out (I say forced because the owner honestly didn’t care and had no idea what she was doing). The VA has programs to keep you from becoming homeless but it is impossible to access them. Homeless? They will help. Going to be homeless? Come back when you haven’t had a roof over your head for at least one night.

You still have 386 karma, and after -4 the other downvotes don't change your karma. Is that a total of -5? So you can still post more than 70 times, and get heavily donwvoted, and still have positive karma.

IIRC you can still post with negative karma. It's unusual, but I think it's possible.

Dang may still decide to ban you, even if you have positive karma. It's usually due to personal aggressions or lot of silly oneliners. I don't see anything like that in your comment history, but I didn't check too much.

How is that of any use? It's not like people are going to drop what they're doing and change their morals because ethics professors said so. That would be ridiculous.

You can say that against anything, really.
>I definitely disagree with you and you're being extremely condescending, patronizing and dismissive.

Yes, we do disagree. But there's no reason to attack me for not agreeing with you.

I don't know you and don't care about you (except in a general, wishing all sentient life a positive experience, sense), nor do I care about your friends or family.

I related my experience and the views those experiences have engendered in me.

There was no intent to be any of the things you ascribe to me and it appears that you take offense to my point of view. Fair enough.

And since I want to be around folks who want to be around me and you're clearly not one of those, we can avoid the dishonesty of false pleasantries (which, it seems, you've already decided to do) and get on with our lives.

I wish you a good day and much success in whatever endeavours you undertake.

Are there any profitable players in this space yet? As far as I can tell, the business model seems like extending credit to people who are too risky for credit card companies.

Sometimes, the hubris of fintech is so blatant it's almost comedic. Tech people thought that the wall street and the financial industry, the greediest of the greedy, were leaving billions on the table because the thought hadn't yet occurred to them to lend money to subprime borrowers for the purpose of consumption spending.

I'll never forget one of my bosses who told me early on in my career, "Always be suspicious of fast growing lending companies".
Right, and part of why we're talking about Apple Cash right now is that Apple is expanding the reasons to use Apple Cash even without Apple Card. New features like person to person payments and Family Apple Cash accounts don't require Apple Card at all and are Apple Cash-focused features.

A central bank is a financial institution given privileged control over the production and distribution of money and credit for a nation or a group of nations. In modern economies, the central bank is usually responsible for the formulation of monetary policy and the regulation of member banks.

That report presents clearly the reasons why entities like the CDC must be eliminated.

They have demonstrated that it is unsafe for freedom to have such entities.

To be clear, I’m observing these things first hand as a professor. Students are asking about blockchain at info sessions more than any other tech. Many students see CS education as a fast track to blockchain tech, coins, and nfts they’ve been hearing turning people into millionaires overnight. That’s what they are interested in!

Parents want to know what blockchain classes we offer. And in fact we do have blockchain 101 and a single faculty member in the space, but there is a lot of pressure from market forces (influenced heavily by FAANG) to hire more.

If there is no company then why don't individuals become felons when a company is convicted of a felony? Why aren't individuals typically liable when the company goes bankrupt; wouldn't you hold the employees to pay the debt if they were ? Why don't the non-equity holding individuals of the 'company' capture the capital gains and post-operating-expenses profits?

It's important to remember when you are an individual you aren't the company. You typically hold no equity in the company, unless you are lucky enough to have it included in the benefits of certain professional and executive positions.

No the company is carefully constructed to make sure you aren't in it. You are a resource FOR the company, not part of the company.
