The US isn’t brutally repressive yet, but we’re constantly working on it!
An RPG game without gameified environments. eg: Cities are as big as real cities, even if it's only partly interactive. With Death Stranding's emphasis on the traversal through it. I want that feeling of actually travelling a huge distance. I know it's not for everyone, but a lot of people like Death Stranding and Elite Dangerous.
So Apple is... in the game?
Sure, but nobody is complaining about taxes on penny options.
They complain about a 100k tax bill for an asset that is not liquid and may never be worth anything.
Enshrined in the Constitution are the founding principles of the world's first liberal democracy. The men who wrote it and the electorate that ratified it were just a couple years removed from a horrifically bloody struggle for self-determination. The framers were well aware from personal experience that Liberalism could not have won had that generation allowed themselves to be disarmed.

I don't think guns are an identity thing (in general). I think individualism and self-sufficiency are part of a particularly American identity though, and guns can be a symbol or reflection of that. The loud minority that worships guns (to the extent that it is their identity) might be particularly loud, but they're not the main drivers of policy. For every 1 of that loud minority, there's 10 "regular people" with more nuanced and well-thought-out opinions that do drive policy, which is why you haven't seen sweeping legislation involving either side's favorite wedge issues.

The 1:10 ratio is made up... point being that like you said, "regular people" are obviously more numerous BUT what we see legislatively is their noticeable effect, not that of a loud minority. It's a common trope on the internet, mass media, and politicians that there's somehow some small pocket of psychos holding us back from utopia.

Don't know how close you follow US politics, but a good example is the talk around West Virgina's Senator Manchin, who's become a very convenient scapegoat for why the party in power can't pass their more controversial pieces of legislation. In reality, there's just much less solidarity amongst Democrats than politicians want you to believe. And that's fine- all lack of solidarity means is that there's some room for compromise, an absolute necessity in a melting pot of 330 million people.

You're 100% correct on the politicians and the shitty, un-nuanced civil discourse. It makes extremists on either end just scream louder and louder past each other while the rest of us are just more and more stressed out every day, worrying for the future of our communities and country.

> any proposed solutions to try and protect the vulnerable from violence, or ameliorate the situation, are met with outrage

This is tough, and there are huge historical factors to take into account. The history of gun control legislation in the US is rife with racism, classism, ignorance, incompetence, and dishonesty. Whenever the topic comes up, the outrage you see is a direct result of that history, whether those involved in the outrage are aware or not.

> Generously speaking, the US (and the American sense of identity) has seriously struggled to transition from a society that broadly depends on guns to function, into a more specialized and developed society.

I think this is part of a broader "crisis" on how individualism and self-sufficiency fits in modern, developed society.

I honestly hope we figure it out, because I enjoy individualism and being self-sufficient; on a personal level, it makes me feel good about myself, and I think (maybe counterintuitively?) that it makes for stronger communities where people feel better for doing their individual part.
I've been looking into creating a better MySQL fiddle. How do people go about doing that? Do you need to rewrite the whole database engine in wasm or something?
Thanks. I thought that may have been the case, but I wasn't sure if there were also some recent improvements or developments.
Ok boyz... we're going digging in the weekend then!
> has this happened with blockchain yet? I'm not seeing it.

No one wants to admit it for some reason, but Bitcoin is the killer app for Blockchain.

> The underlying tech sounds super promising and I hope someone figures something out. Not much luck so far.

Plenty of luck for me at least. Bitcoin solved exactly the problem it told me it would when it was created - permissionless digital "cash" transactions that cannot be reversed. It's a very specific use case, but one I am quite happy exists when I need it.

Those who have never had their money stolen by the banking system or denied the ability to use their money as they see fit likely won't understand my take. Those that do are using the currency today.

All the other crud around blockchain is line noise hype. Cryptocurrency already solved exactly the problem it set out to, it's just not easy to get rich off it.
The reserve requirement ratio does not do what you think it does. It is the amount of money that the bank is required to keep in its account at a Federal Reserve Bank as a ratio of deposits. Note that literal cash sitting in a vault does not count one iota towards satisfying this reserve ratio.

Bank regulations have moved one from having such a specific requirement. Nowadays, you essentially need a minimum amount of equity per risk-weighted assets. So you need something like $8 in cash for every $100 in loans you give out.
Most reasonable IMO would be a hypothetical AVX-256 that was AVX-512 minus ZMM registers. Intel chose against that.

So the only reasonable options for a big little system are:

1. Not have a big little system. But little cores are quite useful for power efficiency in laptops…

2. Don’t support AVX-512 on any cores. Everything beyond AVX2 becomes a dead extension outside of server chips.

3. The little cores support AVX-512 as best as is reasonable. Then thread director can weight AVX-512 usage even heavier than it already weights AVX2.

Also AVX2 performance on Alder Lake is already different between the cores enough that optimal implementations can be different.
That thesis is hard to square with the fact that it’s not that these unicorns are started in the US, it’s that they are almost all started in one metropolitan area.

The distinguishing factors here aren’t simply European regulations and taxes.
Absolutely amazing for when preexisting zigbee/etc devices and sensors just aren’t quite what you’re looking for.

Want to use a time of flight distance sensor to trigger something in an exact spot instead of a handwavey pir motion sensor going off anytime there’s motion in the room? ESPhome can do that.
I don't want a luxury car and I don't want a very basic car. I want something that exactly replicates the functionality of my 24-year-old Range Rover. No laser-eye-surgery-bright screens, no touch panels, no always-connected-phones-home telematics, just four big squashy seats, a really loud stereo, and the capability to be just as happy flat out on the motorway as climbing up a trackless mountain, pulling a 3.5 tonne trailer.

I don't give the tiniest amount of a shit about having the 0-60 time of a bomb going off. I never ever need to accelerate from a standstill to 60mph as fast as possible, and I can't imagine a situation outside of drag racing where I'd need to. I don't feel much of a need to ask Alexa to turn on the windscreen wipers. If you want to travel but not actually touch controls, take the train - a train ticket is far more of a Veblen good, ideal for a flash git.
Perl has a fast, powerful well-integrated regular expression engine, with full unicode support.

In general, Perl tends to be much faster than the competing scripting languages (which is why you never see people talk about benchmark numbers, they'd give you the wrong answer).
To add context the prior discussion the attack by the drug dealer/addict that I expressed concern about already happened a few hours ago. Because no lethal force was used in defense I now have to worry about the criminal coming back with a gun. If you see me stop posting in next week its probably because I got shot.
...interest rates rising meaning people seeking returns have safer places to park their money?
I see what you're saying (and the statistic has other problems, for example not measuring break-ins that were unsuccessful or not attempted because of the gun) but not everyone may be as responsible as you.

So, it can still be a net benefit to society to pass a law which reduces fatal accidents but increases break-ins. Also, I hope that you would sell your gun if you found yourself suffering from some symptoms of mental illness, or if you had children in the house. No one ever thinks that they will be the careless gun owner whose kid finds their gun, or the drunk gun owner who threatens their spouse.
What's your point? Do they need to complain about every single problem that exists simultaneously to be allowed to complain about anything?
And x86 is arguably a CISC layer on top of a RISC processor. I don’t think the divisions of the 90s any longer directly apply.
How did Mongolia compare to other places you have traveled? I have been eyeing going there for awhile now - I was mainly planning to maybe spend a few days in Ulaanbataar since I would need to fly in there and then make my way over to the Altai mountains to do some backpacking and mountaineering.
One trick I did in a company I worked for was start a spreadsheet where people would input not only the presentations they could give, but the ones they would love to see being given. The result was that people who never submitted talks found out they could and, even though we had a couple slots because of our sponsorship of the event, we got about twice as many from the grassroots effort.
I’m disappointed in the way this Perl 6 v Perl 7 debate is developing. Perl 6 modernizes Perl with e.g. concurrent and reactive programming, built-in grammars and a reimagined regex syntax superior to legacy PCRE, named function arguments, and gradual typing.

Perl 6 was designed to be the successor language to Perl 5.

The only technical grounds for Perl 6 being metaphorically sidelined was because Perl 6 lacked the startup and runtime performance characteristics of Perl 5 — fixable problems.

Proponents of Perl 5 often contend Perl could’ve escaped developer mindshare loss without Perl 6 in the picture. But to claim Python, Ruby on Rails, Clojure, Go, Rust and JS/TS never would’ve gained serious developer mindshare had _Perl 6_ not existed seems very myopic to me. All the brilliant new languages and web frameworks launching were bound to erode Perl’s early established dominance regardless.

Things would be different now if Perl 6 was at least as performant as Perl 5. Perhaps then it would’ve become popular years ago amongst Perl users to switch all greenfield Perl code to Perl 6. Then “Perl” would’ve become synonymous with modern language features.
Wild-assed guess:

I think it's trying to say that the way to sell the new thing, is first to say that you can do exactly the old thing except better (limitless storage, faster, or whatever). Then, once the customers have the new thing, they may find that they like some of the new features. But don't try to sell them on the new features, because that's not what they're looking for.
How'd they make it 50-100x faster than postgres? That's some serious innovation.
That makes sense and alludes to my feeling that the big-little thing has been a big mistake. If they come out with an all-big workstation CPU that enables AVX-512 then I am changing to that.
Since doomacs and spacemacs, the vi folks have discovered org-mode and stopped fighting.
Nubank is built exclusively in Clojure, proving large-scale projects can be developed with a Lisp. Same goes for Paul Graham and Viaweb.
I think the important observation of the "law" is that headlines are generally only phrased as a yes/no question when there isn't sufficient support for just stating them as a statement. "Can jellybeans cure cancer?" no, almost certainly not, or the headline would be "evidence jellybeans can cure cancer".

My approach to money has changed as I've come to better understand its purpose - the storage of a future promise to give me something I value.

This leads me to ask, "What do I value?"

I value my free time, being able to eat breakfast and coffee out on a daily basis, and simple things in life like just having a comfortable home, debts paid, bills paid, and a happy wife.

My approach to money has, therefore, become one of finding the maximum amount I need for the short term (six months), immediate term (two years), and extreme future (retirement; probably 60-ish), in order to meet those value driven targets.

Once the balance has been found between selling my time and labour for money, I don't exceed it, because I've attained my goals. I go from, "I could be earning $X in this moment if I worked on my book" to, "I should go for a walk and then come home and play a game."
And this “I’ll get rich!” statistical improbability is why thousand of employees are willing to work for less than their market value in exchange for Monopoly money. My former CTO who did have a lot to do with our former company having a 10x exit after I left (with very little equity that I didn’t exercise) tried to get me to work with him as a tech lead for what would have been a competitive local offer (mid 100s) - I work remotely - and “equity”. But couldn’t come near the base + RSUs at BigTech even with the recent 30% YTD drop.

They also have absolutely no idea how VC funding and the public markets for IPOs work during a bear market.

At least I can sell my RSUs for real money when they vest.

This is what did in one of my startups -- we did consulting to bring in revenue while we built the software, but the siren call of one more billable hour was always stronger than building the software, so we ended up making good money consulting but never built the product.

On an unregulated exchange where the operator: can see your stops, knows your margin/liquidation price, and can manipulate the price/order book to liquidate you and take your money? I think I’ll pass.
I hate that this thing exists and I hate the painfully unfunny SV dork architype that spent their free time making this instead of doing literally anything else. There's a lot going on here that just rubs me the wrong way. I must understand why I hate it so, and I must share that hatred.

What was your advice on how to answer?
To tie this back, your original point was that the relation was a stretch. The goal posts have now moved to accusations of support for destroying religious symbols.
He is clearly not very good with that billable hour craze. By doubling efficiancy you can sell the same hour to two customers.

This is normal and encouraged in law and the consulting world.
You’re not wrong but the last few years definitely feel worse than the years before it.

Ask HN: Insight on subroutine vs. global variable in modern PC
Anyone generous enough to share knowledge and insight on truthfulness on comparing efficiencies and speed between subroutine/function i.e. local and global variable being implemented to Hardware
Subroutine/function or local variable so commonly known, by some c/c++ experts, being inside the stack (frame) while global variable is in heap.

And they or some argue that the one in stack will be shoved into CPU's cache so get more efficient ie. faster than that of on DRAM

How true is the way really as expected above when c/c++ function/local and global variable have been compiled to assembly or CPU binary then go on implemented in such ?

How to prove and to measure the speed/efficiency advantage ? Thanks before
That assumes buyers are able to properly price shop, and can discover a law firm that is more efficient. Much rarer than one would assume.
So it is just a matter of how hard you like the boot stomping on your face, huh?
If anything the fact that DjangoCon is smaller than PyCon makes it more approachable in general. It’s feasible to actually meet everyone at DjangoCon if you really try which definitely isn’t the case with something as large as PyCon

I'm really curious at how everyone is approaching scalability/reliability/redundancy at scale.

We are in the midst of a 10k VM migration to AWS and GCP and it's definitely challenging.

Balancing the speed of the migration itself VS not ending up lift and shiftong workloads is difficult.
Wow! Super cool results.

This is just begging to be text-guided with the lyrics. Then you could put in the lyrics and have the model generate a clip it thinks would go with the lyrics. :)
It's an opaque field how's a client supposed to know this particular law firm is billing less hours than another would because they're using this software? Can't run the suit twice with two different firms blind to see which bills less hours.
Yeah this is the elephant in the room that no one talks about. And it’s not just about old guys going over there and picking up prostitutes, young guys will go over there and pick up regular girls on Tinder, just because it’s way easier to get laid there than in the West, for a bunch of controversial reasons that we aren’t allowed to talk about.
You misunderstand the meaning of volunteer in this context. It does not mean that the reason to run a full node is for "the greater benefit of society from the goodness of their hearts" (though the cost of running a Bitcoin full node is minuscule enough that many may do so according to those reasons), no - it means that full nodes are run unpaid for the good of the Bitcoin network; its actually crucial to the argument of the piece which your emotions distracted you from addressing.

But first your basic conception of Bitcoin will be addressed, since its all you opined on (why even respond if you aren't addressing the article?)

If Bitcoin only served miners it would not be around. Miners are paid indirectly by the rising price in Bitcoin, so those purchasing it are the ones who are setting that value - they are fully consenting to the simple and genius system for its economic and technological properties which they cannot get anywhere else. The Bitcoin system is very simple; if it was purely extractive as you claim people would not use it as a store of value and transaction layer. Considering large portions of users hold their coins through large price action, and have done so for the entire duration of its lifetime, they consider it useful beyond speculation. Who are you to tell them they are wrong in so few words? And if an invention is deemed valuable, why shouldn't it use energy?

And we haven't even gotten to the article yet, because you misunderstood the economic context for your preconception of a vocal subset of a community that the author is in disagreement with.
What do you mean by spy-coin?
The smell of a lot of laundry detergents makes me feel sick unless I go find the ones with no added scents. I assumed it was just an allergy at most.
For the first time since I started caring about the news, I've started to avoid it.

Yes, news programming sells itself with hysteria. But some things have unquestionably regressed, notably U.S. politics and the dignity and respectability of those who hold office in the USA. And, for that matter, the Supreme Court.

But all of that goes back to the deliberate, belligerent ignorance championed by millions of people in this country. The tragedy is that the Internet, once a conduit for scientific knowledge and research, has been turned into a clearinghouse for retrograde "thought," allowing stupidity to reach the critical mass required to bring down entire societies.
Google's most excellent customer service at play.
Great product positioning. I hope their follow-up is better than typical Google. The ML features are a good start, but I hope they get some BigQuery ML style model-definition-in-SQL features.

The list of supported extensions [1] is interesting and covers the biggies. Still, it always kills me that these hosted "Postgres+" solutions end up meaning no third party extensions. ZomboDB (easy ElasticSearch integration) is a PG extension I've always wanted to try, but haven't been able to.

> then autoconf could attempt to compile+run a program that splice(2)s from /dev/random to a known-working sink

And then the next day you, or your user, update your kernel, the result is out of date and your program crashes. That's just not how autoconf (or cmake or meson for that matter) are used.

> running autoconf checks inside a target-machine emulator

Run tests are quite rare. Older autoconf used to use printf to detect the size or alignment of a type, but for 15-20 years it has instead been doing binary search (basically "guess the number") so that only compilation tests are needed instead.

(I am a former autoconf developer and GCC build system maintainer).
