Close. Some is not though. DAWs, AAA games, other hardware intensive things.
that's the same thing as asking people in europe to please do whatever they can to influence NATO's behavior...

or asking somebody in Colombia to please help stop all that cocaine (or dunno)

there's something deeply flawed in the assumptions of how the world works when pleading to a random person in a country to please please influence the actions of the international institutions controlling the country.

> The rest of the wealthy western world has national health insurance and it works really well.

If you talk to people who immigrate to US from those countries with national health insurance, you’ll find that what you claim above is by no means a consensus.

For example, I immigrated to US from Poland, and in my opinion, US healthcare is much superior to Polish socialized healthcare, in terms of quality and availability. Cost wise, it’s more expensive, but my out of pocket costs are too small for me to care about: my employer pays for health insurance, which is a benefit on top of my wages, instead of being subtracted from my wages like in Poland. My deductible is low, and so are my copays and out of pocket maximums. This is opinion shared by most of my Polish friends in US.

Back in Poland, socialized healthcare is held in low regard, lines are long, quality is low, and a lot of people, especially in cities, pay for healthcare from private providers anyway.
At this point half of the internet doesn't seem to have functioning contact points.

I sometimes wonder if I could do chargebacks for almost everything I buy online, since some companies don't even bother to answer the credit card company or PayPal to dispute or authorise the chargeback.
That's pretty clever though. "everything goes" is appropriate for an application that lets you root your vacuum and gain full control of it.

The JSON parser was not "exceptionally dumb": it just used sscanf(s, "%d", ...) for parsing numbers. But most implementations of C's standard library (yes, including BSD and Linux's) implement sscanf() by converting the source string into a dummy FILE* object (which involves calling strlen() to set the stream's size) and calling fscanf() on it. Apparently most people who use sscanf() are unaware of this "lovely" implementation quirk and I can't really blame them.

> JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE BREYER and JUSTICE KAGAN join, concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part.

> Respondent Robert Boule alleges that petitioner Erik Egbert, a U. S. Customs and Border Patrol agent, violated the Fourth Amendment by entering Boule’s property without a warrant and assaulting him. Existing precedent permits Boule to seek compensation for his injuries in federal court. See Bivens v. Six Unknown Fed. Narcotics Agents, 403 U. S. 388 (1971); Ziglar v. Abbasi, 582 U. S. 120 (2017). The Court goes to extraordinary lengths to avoid this result: It rewrites a legal standard it established just five years ago, stretches national-security concerns beyond recognition, and discerns an alternative remedial structure where none exists. The Court’s innovations, taken together, enable it to close the door to Boule’s claim and, presumably, to others that fall squarely within Bivens’ ambit.

> Today’s decision does not overrule Bivens. It nevertheless contravenes precedent and will strip many more individuals who suffer injuries at the hands of other federal officers, and whose circumstances are materially indistinguishable from those in Bivens, of an important remedy. I therefore dissent from the Court’s disposition of Boule’s Fourth Amendment claim. I concur in the Court’s judgment that Boule’s First Amendment retaliation claim may not proceed under Bivens, but for reasons grounded in precedent rather than this Court’s newly announced test.

For the last couple years I've wondered if people would like something that combined the sleek, text-focused front end of HN with the ability to make subreddit-like moderated communities.

The "boringness" of the front end would keep the riff-raff out - why would they bother when Reddit et al give them a much bigger and more meme-addled audience - and it'd be more like the second coming of old-school Usenet that so many older techies seem to long for.

If only I were a software engineer rather than a data scientist.

While I've always understood overtime for startups, or to solve an unexpected problem, I simply do not understand why people put up with systemic overtime for large companies making large amount of money. They are simply abusing your time, you should refuse. They are saving money by not hiring enough people. It's management saving money, or being incompetent, but then it's management's problem, not yours. Of course, during difficult times one may have no other choice, but I'd just run asap.

I don't know the exact issue they are referencing, but if I had to guess... these sorts of multiplayer games typically have respawning enemies that are shared with everyone in the world. If you respawn them too slowly, then you will have tons of people standing around waiting for an enemy to respawn. A quest might require you to kill 10 of those enemies. You can see how this might be a problem. Smart games do this dynamically based on current populations.

The guys over at Lockheed weren't in charge of one of the leading academic fusion programs in the US. ARC in 2014 was just a design created by students in one of Whyte's classes.

At this point, as a woefully ignorant layman, I'm forced to weigh two contrary claims. One is by the head of MIT's fusion program. The other is by a commenter on HN, helpfully linking an impressive-looking paper I don't understand, which does not appear to say with layman-friendly clarity that higher magnetic fields make fusion plasmas less stable.

> The Republican party is vastly more anti-abortion and anti-gun control now than in the past

The converse of that statement is true too. The Democratic Party is vastly more pro-abortion and pro-gun control than in the past.

The two parties mirror their rhetoric on those two issues intentionally. Its literally impossible for one party to criticize the other on them, as they are both chosen as firebrands issues for their base. So if the GOP moves to the extreme on one, they are the cause for the democrats to move to the opposite extreme on the same issue and vice versa.

DAWs use XML, to the author's point. I'm not familiar enough with AAA development but I wouldn't be surprised at all if JSON and XML make a showing there as well. That's not to mention that if the game is online, it certainly uses some combination of HTTP and sockets.

Ask HN: Where are all of the slow websites people are talking about?
I think the developer community makes a big deal about websites taking a tenth of a second more. As if it causes some torturous unbearable moment that users have to sit through. See partial hydration and other related topics.

However, I can't even think of any websites that are so slow that this is an issue. Can someone please link below the websites that are causing this great outcry?
Depends on the use case :)
Yes, I agree. My point is just that the asymmetry in market strength is not based purely on the size of the company relative to the consumer. In many competitive fields, it is the providers that are in a precarious situations instead of the customers, even if the providers are large corporations. Consider, for example, McDonalds: it’s a huge company, but it would be ridiculous to suggest that it enjoys significant market power over customers. Many such examples.

Dropbox, quite frankly, sucks.

I had an account there. Didnt use it much. Then I had a friend share a few videos for me to check for quality and content. They were on paid and I wasn't. The simple act of "sharing from their account" put *my* account over storage quota. I couldn't do ANYTHING with my account, including downloading any of the videos.

Basically my only option was to pay them for more "storage", even though my friend paid. They're effectively infinitely double-dipping for what amounts to a link.

I abandoned the account after that crap.

> And, in large part due to the Electoral College and a malapportioned Senate that gives Republicans an unfair advantage in the fight for control over the judiciary

This is biased and wrong. The Senate is no more malapportioned than is the Council of Europe, which likewise gives equal weight to each member state. The U.S. Senate is meant to represent the states. This reinforces my opinion that the Seventeenth Amendment (which mandates a popular vote for senators) was a mistake.

Honestly, I kinda feel that state legislatures should appoint some or all of their states' electors, too.

As a result of severe air pollution in the 1960s, then-California Governor and future Republican hero Ronald Reagan created the California Air Resources Board to set a statewide approach to managing air quality.

The plan to create these regulations began almost 60 years ago, and I believe the future 2020s regulations were known by everyone in the mid 1990s.

If this is the case I hope it gets better because the standards process seems to be failing these days. I need to keep at least two browsers on a machine in case a site I use doesn't work with one of them. It seems that since the standards process is largely controlled by commercial vendors we're regressing back to that era of the web where vendors largely ignored standards and touted their own tech/extensions/etc.

Update: Not to mention how often buggy they can be and how terrible the performance is in terms of energy usage, responsiveness, etc.

You are factually wrong. Not only that, you're conflating several different processes and team rules.

Many googlers use brew to install applications on their laptops. This not against policy. Other googlers work with code stored directly on their laptop. There may even be developers who are obtaining deps (for their own builds) from brew.

The problem with the brew author is that he had every opportunity to make himself look hirable at Google but instead chose to write an incorrect screed and publish it on the internet.

I just want to say there are mountains of research on this, and recent development is exciting, but some of the techniques (like stack switching and moving) are very old. Project Loom is very intriguing because of how it solves the practical problems of introducing old concurrency techniques into existing language implementations that were not designed around them.

A lot of this stuff is intriguing from the implementation side, but where we're really lacking is in the syntax and semantic side to make concurrency "make sense" to programmers. I don't think we're close to solving that problem (for example, call/cc isn't the answer, it's the problem).

imho the issue isn't function coloring, threads, whatever. It's a compiler that defaults to async code in the calling convention and then optimization passes to de-async-ify (remove unnecessary yield points) the code at compile time. The result would be code that looks synchronous but is async where it matters (i/o).

A lot of the symptoms of the sync/async problem are caused by the explicit decoupling of sync/async APIs in source code. If you remove that and force it to be implicit internal to the language implementation, the issue goes away. It would take a lot of work to determine if that was worth it.

Basically as we've now accepted garbage collection to be an acceptable part of language implementation, one day I think we'll accept async executors to be a part of that too. We're halfway there on the impl side (Go, Java through Loom, NodeJS, etc). The other half is removing the explicit syntax for it.

Don't you think that claim of anonymity in bitcoin was already busted since the days of CryptoNote decades ago, [0] where we now have privacy coins like Monero, Zcash, Grin and especially MobileCoin (The one that is used in the Signal app, allow users private p2p payments) that are around? Is that why they are getting delisted and not Bitcoin?

I don't see the privacy guarantees Bitcoin is claiming to offer, unless it has achieved its utopian intention to dismantle and replace the whole financial system with everyone only using Bitcoin to transact with. Given that it hasn't, you can trace everything up to the exchanges and you'll be gladly met with KYC to associate your custodial wallets with the addresses you interacted with, for everyone to see.

Now, can the same researchers blow up the claims of the top privacy coins that actually guarantee anonymity and privacy with both the sender's and receiver's transactions and wallet info being hidden?

I'll wait.

The Chinese backstabbing story seems more farfetched the more I dig into it. A lot of it might just have been Nehru's misreading from his self-indentified perch as an "elder statesman" and "bhai bhai" thing was a delusion manufactured in his head. In his defense, it seems that other PMs like Modi don't seem immune to a special feeling towards the Chinese. Both Doklam and the recent skirmishes at Pagong lake have proved that in Modi's case.

Condescension was also a specialty of Nehru given his upbringing and that might have played a role. Nehru condescended to those he did not considered polished enough - be they Indian or Chinese. In Gentlemen Spymaster,
RN Kao's quotes an interesting incident which lends credence to this:

"‘This was my first presence at an international meet and I was impressed with the solemnity of the occasion and the gravity which seemed to hang in the air. At that time, China had not widely been accepted as a respectable member of the international comity of nations, and as we (India) were one of the few countries that had established diplomatic relations with China, Prime Minister Nehru had taken upon himself the responsibility of introducing Zhou Enlai on the world scene. Or, at least, so he thought. In later years, I learned that Zhou Enlai had mentioned to some reporter that he had not met anyone as arrogant as Jawaharlal Nehru and in support of his statement, he had said that it was incredibly presumptuous on the part of the Prime Minister of India to have introduced the Prime Minister of China on the world scene. Well, whatever Zhou’s ego might have been, the fact of the matter is Nehru did help China to gain recognition in the international field. In fact, in that process, we (India) earned a lot of odium,’ Kao observed."
