interesting, so it is async, and has no garbage collection(good for real-time), mainly for video games(to replace Lua?)

can this work like micropython for mcu or low-end chips but does true real-time control(e.g. controlling a motor or something at milli or micro seconds granularity)? the real-time term can mean so many use scenarios.
What has "the left" done that pushed you away to support a part that says LGBTQ people should be able to get married, that their version of the Christian god deserves special protections in law, etc? Those are explicate positions documented in the GOP platform that members of the GOP are required to support.
No offense, but don’t get addicted to success. It’s very transient in our lives and doesn’t help you sustain through all the hills and valleys life brings.

Diversify in more areas than finance. Work on yourself. Get healthy, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Turn off the news and get off the devices begetting your anxiety and stress. Don’t worry, be happy.

Worrying about the past or future gets you stuck. Focus on the present, this moment in time. Believe in your own thoughts and you’ll find your own genius.
There are literally "a lot of people saying" it isn't a myth, I've heard them, and one guy saying it is a myth and is an expert ... so, seems like that expert could straighten the issue out for us?

I mean, the burden is on both sides here but one has "been in SEO for a while".
Another relevent consideration here is that SpaceX and Tesla are both fundamentally manufacturing businesses, which developed their processes via rapid iteration. I assume that means the managers and engineers are expected to be closer to the factory floor than in other businesses. So WFH for Musk's businesses might actually be very impractical.
What JS library is used to produce this scrolling effect?
No functional languages do that.

OCaml parses a b c as ((a b) c). In case the compiler can determine that a is a function taking 2 arguments, it will optimise the code, so that it’s effectively a(b, c). But in general, that’s not possible, especially in the case where the compiler determines that a is a function with a single argument (in which case, it’s return value must be another function, which is in turn called with c) or when a is a first-class function (e.g. passed as an argument)
Doesn't your example support his/her position though? Dump the stock now, wait till the price drops, buy at a reduced price ... profit! I know, timing the market and all that, but this seems like a sensible move now.
What's it called when "free speech in all settings [is enjoyed] by everyone"?
Years ago, I had a partner that was a highly trained symphony musician (studied musicology and performance at a major university, PhD etc). After all these years of training and having incredible skills, she was unable to support herself.

The fundamental problem is that there are maybe 30 symphony jobs in North America for her instrument that pay enough, and there is a world of new players being churned out by Fine Arts departments all competing for the one or two spots where someone is retiring. The university departments know there are no good jobs for these students they produce, but like other university departments they compete for funds by enticing students to peruse almost useless degrees.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUvcdKGD-FM <-- What it's like be hit by 130mm artillery.

One thing that the video can't simulate is how loud those explosions are. You don't just hear the sound wave, even from a safe distance you feel the pressure wave in your entire body.
I'll grant that it's expensive and on an old chip, but I don't think you can compare "multiple times the cost in hardware value" if nobody else has the hardware that is their headline feature (hardware keyboard).
If it's anything like retail, a lot of these places work on the assumption that there are enough people who too desperate for a job that they'll come regardless of the working conditions.
LOL. Yeah, that's the "free speech" advocate you're thinking of.
This is one reason why these types of megacorps support mass immigration, it provides a steady stream of desperate people they can exploit. Those from other countries also might lack the collective cultural knowledge to stay away.
The concern is propagation. If margin calls blow up individual organizations or institutions, that's bad but not a fundamental threat. The issue is that things are connected.
The letter was about how rooms
Elon's tweets impacted working conditions.

Eg
Individuals and groups of employees at SpaceX have spent significant effort beyond their technical scope to make the company a more inclusive space via conference recruiting, open forums, feedback to leadership, outreach, and more.
How this would also work in the real world is that you need to go back to a 1950s living standard to save the planet.

Me? My current living standard is essential to saving the planet so it would be a mistake for me to join you.
So it turns out that people are fungible after all. At least at the scale that Amazon operates at.
> I have no idea why the price increases so much.

They probably realized they either do this or go out of business. My guess is that bandwidth is eating their earnings.
You still get the regular PGP integrity protection even in a case where there is no authentication. I just tried it and pass just sent along the GPG error:

... instead of the password file I modified.
> There was this vague concern about splitting the ecosystem. The concern is understandable - to an ecosystem that has been "in control" by a central implementation for a decade. I would file it under growing pains. Rust can't, when it grows up, always be a single-implementation language.

This is why formal specifications matter.

The Rust community say languages like C and C++ didn't have specifications for a while. That's true, but it's a flimsy argument because the development velocity of both C and C++ prior to formalization were a fraction of Rust's current velocity. C and C++ also had fewer features pre-specification than Rust has pre-specification. Rust is also continuing to add features.

Without a specification how do we know which Rust implementation is correct and which has bugs? It's easy to point to the reference implementation in 2022, but that could change in five or ten years. What happens if drama from within the reference project causes a fork? People like to imagine forks as easy to differentiate, but it's never that simple. It's almost always very nuanced, gray, and muddy with very good arguments on both sides. Which implementation is the correct Rust in that case? None of this is clear or obvious.
Same here, loving all things fermented! I am surprised people actually spend on probiotics, while kefir cultures (et alli) are so easy to buy.
Which is the outcome of potential self-builders not usually being able to secure the funding necessary.
Working conditions is a legal term and you can't redefine it to mean whatever you think affects you.
Data and system visualization tools to boost your productivity
They're annoying, but once/if they get good you'll get to write what amounts to a CLI versus a (crossplatform) GUI.
Wouldn't the early iterations of something generally be pretty lame?

Seems possible in 50 years or so things could be more mobile or advanced in other manners.

Either way, certainly interested in seeing what the USAF will be doing to get to 0 emissions. I have a sense they may be able to harness resources towards goal a bit more effectively than some of our more fractured systems of governance.
A weird defence you say? How about publishing a newspaper article about how certain aspects of communism make sense in the US back in the McCarthy era.

Heck, back then just a word from a disgruntled neighbour could land you a visit from the feds and potential jailtime. Today, it's getting banned from some oh-so-irrelevant social media platform that gets people all riled up.

You want to know what high consequences are? Outing yourself as homosexual in Iraq, Suda, Saudi-Arabia, or Jemen. All these countries can have you sentenced to death for just expressing your love to an individual of the same gender - or worse, just being accused of doing so.

It's truly fascinating how whiny some folks are about potentially facing negative consequences for trouble they voluntarily and willingly getting themselves into for no reason and over miniscule BS they just want to rage about.

Instead of doing the grown-up thing and writing letters to their representatives - you know, the people you elected to care about such issues and pass legislation that reflects your interests - they instead want to stand on a pedestal and shout their opinions for all the world to hear.

If you want to try and convince people, go talk to them. Do it in a context where it actually matters, like a school board meeting where rules are discussed that go against your conviction. No one's stopping you and no one's going to "cancel" you for doing so.

Honest to god question: what did people do in the early 1990s, 1980s, 1970s, etc.? Did they all spend their free time writing angry letters to newspapers, TV- and radio stations and have heated discussions in the middle of time square shouting their opinion at every passer by?
So everything else that the internet offers is worthless because you can't have a particular subjective experience in the past? People can't benefit from computers because you don't approve?

Everytime this particular subject comes up, commenters are quick to chime with their experiences or actual messages, and I don't think the quality of the posts was as good on average as you think. Usenet had weirdos, trolls, crazy people, political nutjobs, racists, and plenty of inane posts too. I think you're nostalgic for something that never existed.
So one issue I see here is that you are against gay marriage?

This isn't "the left" it's "the US" that had a change of view. The poll numbers are through the roof. And when it's such a personal thing with the very families that are our friends, it's not hard to see why gay marriage is so popular. That you feel "hated" by others for rejecting their friends families is a weird way to put it.

Obama was a centrist for his time, and often times after society opens up to more people it's hard to go back to closing it off to our new members.

As for James Damore, somebody disparaging their colleagues, publicly, and not even their leader for specific actions, but an entire gender, based on bad reading of biology... do you have similar sympathy for the people fired here, or it only when somebody is expressing beliefs that are hurtful to those not at the top?

Gay marriage was a major shift in culture, but bad sexism has been out of vogue for decades, even if overall sexism hasn't decreased a huge amount.

I have all sorts of politically unacceptable views that I don't share. But I don't play the victim for being "hated" just because I don't get my way.
I was there too and clearly remember two things:

First. "Web dev" positions evaporated & I actually took a "stable" job at a university vs. staying at the failing internet investment firm I was working for as a developer. For a while tech was definitely "uncool", especially to those who were in it for the get-rich-quick angle. I hope the same will happen to crypto: an exodus of the scamsters.

Second. I remember thinking "so much potential destroyed by those damn suits" ... micropayments, banner ads, Ecommerce, online auctions, peer-to-peer file sharing' encrypted email, shopping bots ... we had all this wonderful tech but none of it came to fruition because of the inflated expectations / greed.

The greed of the dot-com bubble set tech back for about a decade & I expect something similar will happen now with crypto. Maybe we will finally have the breathing room to do something cool with the tech?
They can only increase pay so much before they have to increase their fees beyond the point people are willing to pay them. As an anecdote, I have completely stopped using DoorDash because they recently increased their fees to a level that I consider to be absurd.
I ordered one of their Classic models a few weeks ago, it should be here Monday. (They just moved warehouses, so my order was delayed.) I'm really excited for it!

The trackball uses QMK firmware (https://qmk.fm), which is mostly known for powering open-source mechanical keyboards. Customizing it is a breeze, and it's got a whole lot of great functionality built-in too!

One of the big things that pushed me to Ploopy is the use of roller bearings, although now I see there's a ball-transfer-unit mod which is basically the ideal form of bearing for this: https://github.com/ploopyco/classic-trackball/tree/master/ha...

The Black Hole Information Paradox Is Just About Solved
When Musk started to spread his bullshit on Twitter, I immediately thought about how the high-profile engineers working for Tesla, SpaceX, etc, would feel about that. My friend works in a tech company composed of 90% engineers, although not that high-profile, still if a CEO would publicly voice all that crap, I’m sure many would seriously consider resigning. In the end, it’s not that difficult to find another job.

If I were a tech company recruiter now, I would 100% go shopping for musk companies’ employees right now…

As a recruiter, you could seriously poach some amazing talent just because Elon can’t keep his fucking mouth shut. They aren’t idiots over there, and Elon should realize that most of the people working for him are likely much, much, much smarter than he is.
Yes, but if 13,000 phones have the same IMEI they all get blocked.
Thanks! I'd forgotten Wikipedia address.
Where did you hear such a thing?

As a Catholic, I regularly attend Church and we have many people (even entire families) who either join after a long period of being away or leave the faith all together. We miss them of course but no one sends them death treats.

Additionally, many people move between denominations.

Perhaps you are confusing those with real cults such as: Christian Science, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Seventh-day Adventism ?

I can't however speak for how they operate as I haven't studied them or been involved.
>hurl vitriol.

This is criticism and advice. It is not this forum's job to tell people that their ideas are good and their business models are sound when they arent. It seems like the claim is that it is a worse idea than you think to fire your customers.
Only thing even close for energy density and thus potentially useful for logistics would be a small modular reactor, which could then be used to create diesel on site. Trucking the reactor in though has obvious security concerns.
The gift of a bunch of employees who care more about activism than the work? This is not a gift I would ever want to receive.

I doubt this affects their ability to win contracts in the slightest. Their biggest competitors are all defense contractors, not exactly more sympathetic to causes like this...
Vygotskian Autotelic AI
Well written though
Yep. We would do well to more often remind ourselves that employment is an exercise in voluntary association.

These folks were unhappy with their working conditions. They're now free to find employ somewhere else that suits them better while others who want to be at SpaceX will replace them.

Markets are great!
I switch in between both kinds of trackballs (as you say, thumb or finger) as well as using a regular mouse at times.

My reasoning is that I'm trying to avoid repetitive strain injuries, so by varying my position and the fingers doing the work, I'm basically giving everything time to rest.
I agree, there is almost nothing that can be done with a chatbot, that can't be done better and faster with a web form or regular app/web functionality or knowledge-base with decent search engine attached.
Let's change the attribution of your (not actual) quotes to be more correct:

Elon: "Something something I’m doing it for more free speech…"

Employees: "You can’t say that!"

Employees in letter: "Make Elon stop tweeting"

Elon: "You're all fired"

He's not a hypocrite under my interpretation.
The US Gini coefficient has been rising for 70 years, but life expectancies are high. So yes, better than ever for the median person, but also less equitable than ever.

Note: IIUC, on the Pinephone you have to open up the phone to get access to the switches. On the Librem5, the switches are external; i.e. accessible from the outside.
How many of the better languages have equal or better readability than Python? IMO, that's the #1 reason for its continued popularity. Python is not full of parentheses, like a lisp, nor is it full of semicolons and brackets for bookkeeping, like most other C-style languages.
Heh. Well, it's a fork of Gnome2 which was their main selling point. I just can't remember if these previews existed in Gnome2 before the fork or not.
Ask HN: I created a news shortening algorithm and am not sure how to utilize it
I've been developing my own algorithm for news shortening. Basically, it takes a news article from the site, does some calculations and spits out up to 5 the most important sentences. Demo can be seen here https://excerptdaily.com

I created it because I read news and I hate reading Bible-size articles full of unnecessary information just to find the main point

It has a purpose, it really does solve a problem:
* Save people's time
* Inform you as fast as possible
* Give you the main point of an article in 5 sentences
* Save you from clickbait or half clickbait titles

Starting my own news website without any connections or audience doesn't make sense, also I'm bad at marketing. I firmly believe this is a very good solution. I just don't know yet how to utilize it?

Should I offer the power of algorithm to some podcast that have audience and their own news website, should I offer it to someone who wants to build a news website...
Neither dietary cholesterol nor saturated fat nor sugar are bad in moderation, and that's completely orthogonal to the point of them providing probiotics.

Meh, I'm so disilluded that I've resorted to using nautilus as my file picker and just drag 'n dropping files from it into the program I want to open the file with.
Is this not a 'tu quoque' logical fallacy?
There was valid points made that were forward but certainly didn’t strike me as angry. And I agree with the sentiment. I am weary of more and more startups and companies like Google these days. I can’t rely on a lot of them.

Sure - not everyone will stop using it, but some will, and that's lost sales. Even if it can't be quantified, the concept can be "sold" to some executive and get the problem fixed.
If TSLA gets valued down to $7B then we're all fucked, the floor will have fallen from under the stock market as a whole.
Mind sharing the brand/product?
Sun does not even produce enough watts per square meter to be practical for transportation of heavy artillery (nevermind that it produces zero at night). It's ridiculous to imply solar ever has potential beyond supplemental energy.
What environment doesn't allow headphones? (I guess if it's an availability indicator?)
It'd be a foolish thing to discuss openly.
I don't know enough about GNOME's history, but I wonder if the people making those promises fell into the trap of believing that a more polished desktop environment would be one with cleaner code, and when they said super-polished they meant clean abstractions.

A super-polished UI (in the sense of "well-rounded, meets expectations, minimizes user surprise, behaves predictably") has messy abstractions because humans are messy. I've never met one that looked good on the outside and didn't have ugly snaggy bits on the inside to get all that good-lookingness to actually work in the corner cases. Perhaps GNOME has fallen into the trap of sacrificing features for purity of form. If they're saying things like "We'll have thumbnails when someone can figure out how to do it cleanly" they've fallen into that trap.
sounds like running towards the dictator trap with open arms. If I wanted to get to Mars then I would suggest its poor company behaviour to suppress criticism like this as I doubt that doing so to protect personal twitter behaviour is helpful to the org's mission statement.

Arguably it depends somewhat of the skill of those hired but if that's arbitrary (i.e. their skill isn't related to the firing) one can easily argue that SpaceX's management practices are extremely questionable right now. So from an 3rd party employee's perspective today you have to tell the boss he's fucking shit up if you _really_ want to get to Mars.
Right. People were calling for him to be tested for it over his clearance. He was also supposedly very careful to not inhale.
This is specifically in reference to warehouse workers, not the tech side of things. Though I've heard from many recently ex-Amazon engineers that they're having real trouble recruiting engineers now too
Nothing.

I managed to buy a flat during the pandemic, and now my mortgage is ~65% of what I used to pay to rent a single room. And given the situation at the time, I got a very nice interest rate.
>> The announcement criticized the EU’s “highly complex” General Data Protection Regulation and promised a “clampdown on bureaucracy, red tape and pointless paperwork” to “seize the benefits of Brexit.”

And that's all one needs to know about that announcement.
Yeah, I used to use these, the angle is a problem. The Slimblade I think it's called is much better in that regard.
At the end of the day This is a company. A place of business. Not a college campus.

People get paid to work there. The company has decided that an “activist uprising” by 5 employees can be distracting to the organization.

That’s all. I don’t see any broader free speech implications here.
> the Federal government doesn't care about state law when making decisions about security classifications.

I suspect this is less true than you think; since federal prosecution is blocked by law for state-legal use, one of the major security clearance reasons for it to be an issue (the leverage that the criminal behavior might give others over you because of prosecution risk) is very much affected by state law.
"removed 32 million fake accounts ..."

That's a lot of fake accounts
Has anyone benchmarked city’s column store against other competing solutions, for example clickhouse or std row store in postgresql?
My dog has turned on my stove using the touch-actuated controls. Left a pizza box on top of the stove, and she tried to steal a slice, but ended up turning on the burner under the pizza box. Luckily we were nearby. Now, paranoid about it potentially happening again, we have a rule that you must engage the touch lockout (holding a certain button for ~5 seconds), but we’re human, and about 90% successful with that plan. It’s a legit risk.
