Ask HN: Good resources to learn Elixir by building projects?
I've seen some really cool resources like "Writing an OS in Rust" to learn Rust.

Is there anything remotely close for Elixir?
This is not a 15k employee enterprise riveting features onto a codebase from the 90s— it’s a <10yo company that makes one product. Big difference in approach.
> rust forces you to write correct code

And to that extent, due to the lack of GC, you need to provide it (and keep in your head) with lots of extra information that wouldn't be needed with other languages.

I find that Rust is too strict because it assumes concurrent multithreaded code by default. Which wouldn't be needed for most desktop apps. Why no circular refs or having a mut ref and a ref at the same time, in my simple single-threaded To-Do list Tauri app?

Is it possible that you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)[0]?

Being tired all the time and not being able to concentrate are prime indicators of sleep deprivation.

I'm biased, as when I was in my late 20s, I was pretty much a walking zombie: tired all the time, unable to concentrate for long periods of time, cranky/irritable, etc.

Then, while on vacation with family, my brother noticed that I was gasping for breath while "sleeping" and suggested I get it checked out.

A sleep study[1] (onsite polysomnography test) showed me waking up 270(!) times over the seven hour test.

Since I was waking up (the pathology is, 1. fall asleep; 2. stop breathing; 3. wake up; 4. rinse and repeat) before getting to deeper levels (stage 3/4) of sleep, I wasn't getting the rest I needed.

Once I was diagnosed and started using a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)[2] machine (efficacy confirmed by a second polysomnography test), I slept through the night without any apnea events. As a result, my life changed dramatically. I had more energy, was able to concentrate, wsa more active, calmer and better able to handle issues/problems.

Not saying that's what's going on with you, but after 19 years of treating my sleep apnea, I've never looked back.

I'm not saying that's what's the issue here, but based on your description, it might be useful to investigate this possibility.

I hope you find your way through this successfully!

I've actually paid less for a private X-ray (in the UK) than it cost for my cat at the vet. Vetinary drugs are also often more expensive than their human equivalents.

I suspect scale may be a factor here.
Microsoft Validation OS
Around 2006 - 2008 I was playing around with SecondLife and found the only thing that interested me there was coding objects with their LSL scripting language. I happened to fall in with a content creator (eg. a really good artist that could create cool looking things from the in world primitive object tools) that sold "campers" which were objects on which you could basically park your avatar in some kind of pose and your account would be sent a small amount of money each hour. This was useful because the discoverability of locations in the world was substantially increased by the presence of avatars. A lot of people at your place meant your place was popular. So the typical implementation of campers was that a place would build a bar with 10 or so barstools and embed a camper script in them, so people could come up, choose to camp on a stool, and get their couple of bucks a day. But these implementations were pretty lame because without any kind of activity by the real life user, avatars would timeout and just slump forward over the bar. So these places, while technically having a higher presence of people, looked like a terribly depressing place with a bunch of passed out drunks.

So this content creator I met had the idea of working a little hard on the product by creating a little scene of things (as opposed to just dropping a script in a barstool) and then also writing the code to animate the avatar in some kind of loop. So for example, she created a little patch of garden and a wheel barrow, and when someone chose to camp on it, their avatar got on all fours and appeared to be working on the garden, like weeding or whatever. Another one was a ladder that could be placed by a window and the avatar would climb up it and appear to be washing the windows. We had 5 or 6 different campers like this. For obvious reasons this product blew up. I don't remember what she sold them for but at the peak I was pulling in $100 a day and my cut was only a fraction of the total cost. This continued for at least a year before we had a falling out about another product and she dumped me from the cut.

Old medical debt (the kind you get for 1%) doesn't have a big impact on credit scores and don't they owe income tax on the forgiven debt?

I wouldn't pay income tax on something like half million dollars for a slightly better chance to be able to take out a loan at what will be 10% or so soon.

Commodore Branded Kickstarter Gets Hit by IP Troll
Idk, it seems pretty clearly like lock-in to me. Microsoft first came up with LSP when VS Code was a lot newer, so they made it an open standard to help them get market share by enabling language developers to more easily support their editor. Now that they're a much bigger player in the text editor space (which VS proper never really played as hard in, not being cross platform and being much heavier weight), they're trying to build a moat to ensure that they don't lose that to other players, which means making it harder for anyone to re-use the tools they used to gain share in the first place.
> The vociferous opponents of crypto have been quick to celebrate the death of the blockchain, insisting that all crypto is fraudulent. These critics are a mirror image of the equally unrealistic cheerleaders at the opposite end of the spectrum: the pro-crypto libertarians clamoring for a financial world with no regulations whatsoever.

Precisely correct. The majority of meme useless projects will not survive regulations and they will wither away and the remaining crypto projects will continue to survive.

Either side of the anti-crypto and the pro-crypto folks thinking that it will 100% all collapse or all of them will survive and take over the current system are both unrealistic and are at most absolutist ideas and hopelessly utopian.
As a former Oregon House resident, astonished to see it on the front page of HN.

It's interesting to see the same strategy implemented at Google, apparently, that they reportedly used to get members employed by Yuba county. There was a minor scandal, an investigation leading to a bunch of firings, years ago. Allegedly members were using their ties to get the county to look the other way at countless unpermitted structures. I understand that blew over in time, after which there was apparently a rehiring of some of those that were fired. (Some of this is just things I heard when I worked at the grocery store/gas station/video rental, which was and I believe still is the center of commerce in the area.) At that time it seemed like the fellowship made up about half the town population.

Anyways, for years they were trying to build a large colosseum and that must have been much harder to hide than the countless little shacks without addresses that they put members in, up driveways that wended and climbed past the main, addressed house. I think the colosseum led to the county's investigation. I'm not sure if they're still building it...

That seems like a confused idea of both volunteers and employees. To whom should boring tasks be given? If I volunteer at a place it's because I believe in the mission and if I work at a place it's because I want to get paid. Either way, if boring work is what's needed, that's what I'll do.

Wow, Mission Control Plus is one of those "super-obvious" once you are shown the idea, ideas. On an iPad you can close windows in the app switcher by swiping, the Mac does nearly the same thing but has no way to close windows. And I had to check for Batteries as well, seems so obvious that it exists on Mac coming from an iPad...but it just isn't there. Well done.
So auto is used as a keyword here. Maybe C inherits this never-used auto from B?
This repo has been super useful as I've been writing a book that teaches Rust by rewriting classic Unix utilities. I settled on using the 4.4 BSD source as a base but having the whole history available has been really interesting. Recently I came across a bug in the 4.4 version of cat that wasn't fixed until a few years later (in FreeBSD).
I'm assuming basic competence in other areas, product/eng/sales/design etc. if you don't have that AND you don't have a clear idea/insight, then certainly it will be hard to succeed.

This "People that pay for each component of each meal probably waste considerably less..." is one of those arguments that depend on Economic Man being real. It is in fact rational to pay flat rates even when some subset of the population gets outsize benefits and others pay more than they otherwise would. That's why your ISP bill is flat rate (albeit with a cap). That means that within a wide range of use cases, your bill is predictable.

Predictability has value. Economists may argue that more variables let you optimize systems. But real humans have a limited ability to pay attention to their economics.

MVP/MVN are 7 cycles per byte.

If you're moving memory around in bank 0 (or have memory mapping), you can use the direct page register to read/write anywhere in bank 0 and the stack to read/write anywhere in bank 0.

16-bit LDA dp, PHA is 4 + 4 = 8 cycles or 4 cycles per byte. Best case would be if you know it's constant data before hand, eg, LDA #0, PHA, PHA .... 2 cycles per byte!

For general purpose copying MVP and MVN are easier and have better code density.

I tried finding a FT job but it seems that smaller shops do not like me. A medium sized company told me that "they are afraid I will get bored and want to move on to something else". I have an interview with a FAANG company next week but I feel woefully underprepared for that.
> The code is operating as expected

I highly doubt this. When Apple rolled out multiple video support, they did not expect that a random website could—having gained permission to spawn one video player—reuse that blessing 29 more times.

The browser will prevent auto-playing videos from spawning absent a user interaction. This is a feature that prevents pop-up hell. With this change, they failed to update the "make sure user is cool with this" code.

It's a regression, and will be fixed in an update or I eat my hat.

Again, I know this isn't some "error found on line 384 of vid.cpp" or whatever, but it's definitely not the way Apple wants this to work.

My desktop browsers won't do this, nor any other browser I've used in the past 10 years.
I made an 8-way full-screen scroller.

To avoid situations like this the player sprite at the center of the screen had momentum, i.e. the sprite had to rotate 180 degrees to change to the opposite direction, giving a few frames time to set everything up.
It is a bit sad to see the smartest engineers in the world all working towards implementing and maintaining the largest spying apparatus in history.

We should be focusing on learning from and highlighting people who are working to make the world a better place - and not focusing on employees from these companies. Any online news aggregator could institute a policy to not promote products or services of these companies. Unfortunately, many startups are operating with the hope that these companies acquire them, and so they're all to happy to continue extending this spying apparatus even further into other domains.
Politics aside, money puts a cap on everything: wars, social services, etc.

The issue at hand is to take something the public spends nothing on, that the government gets for "free" and to put that on the public balance sheet - a huge cost. I guess we could balance that out with a tax, but who would like that? And even if we were to raise taxes - it wouldn't help our balance sheet since we already spend 30% more than we take in. Looking at the balance sheet as it stands today, we can't even afford what we currently spend. And inflation is on the rise.

I just don't see it ever happening. Save a collapse and total reset of the current monetary system.
This looks pretty cool. Might be too similar to https://jumpcutter.com/ though.
Bureaucrats can either spend their time inspecting the restaurants and imagining forms to make opening them easier or inspecting paper forms and answering "yes, sir" to some micromanager. Who decides what of those they will do is their bosses (usually, politicians).

If you go ask them what they prefer, you may be surprised. Or maybe not, if you go imagining they are humans.

Helios currently uses legacy boot. The first thing is to get something to boot and print out "hello world" to serial or some such like. I also wanted to get into long mode fast, because Hare does not support 32-bit targets. Then paging is generally wise. The rest is dependent on your kernel design.
This isn't limited to programming. Take automotive forums, for example.

You will have someone go on all day about how a certain engine or something will not make a certain number of HP. They'll say they have never seen it, after all, they have visited all the websites and watched all the Youtube videos.

Then someone that runs a performance shop will pipe in with, "Of course it's possible. We've built six of them this year alone. The owners just don't post their cars on the internet."
I want to point out that FreeCAD receives $450/week in recurring donations (https://liberapay.com/FreeCAD/), and that that probably has some impact on how quickly things are moving now!

I personally do CAD less than once a month, but I still donate regularly. If open source CAD is a cause you care about, you can too!
It is very likely that I have that. I don't think I have the money to purchase a machine for that.
Also, something like 20-33% of health care dollars go to claim submission/processing at the doctor/hospital and the insurance company. Those people do nothing but argue with each other

There's a highly rated HMO around here. Their costs are significantly lower than regular insurance, and they seem to pass some of that on to customers in the form of health care.

It wasn't a 700 hour training program for teachers to use guns. It was a peace officer training course (Law Enforcement Officer). Maybe 24 hours isn't enough, but that's 3 days of coursework normally. As opposed to 4.5 months of training (that's probably unpaid, which really amounts to: no one took it).
Huh. Whereas my first thought is always the noise of the bat-cycle from The Dark Knight - which is also directed by Nolan and scored by Zimmer.
There is a way to resolve things without the heavy hand of law enforcement/courts/the state, but it requires those options as a backdrop:

1. You have a conversation and politely ask as a neighbor. Maybe mention it a couple times to make sure the point gets across.

2. If that doesn't work, you research the regulation and have a second conversation explaining the issue in legal terms instead of neighborly terms.

3. If that doesn't work, you have a conversation and leave a note explaining that you don't want to cause trouble but that you will report to the city.

4. If that doesn't work, you -- at last -- get the city involved.

Without regulation, step 3 has no teeth. And you only get to step 3 if steps 1-2 fail, so the premise here is that simply asking isn't going to help anyways.

Most legal disputes can be handled amicably without getting the state or courts involved when it's clear who is in the right. But the law has to exist first, or else the abusive/negligent party will just continue to ignore the situation.
My Cambridge (UK) college billed per item, and I not sure you lose all of those advantages.

> It is more efficient -- no need to bill for every item, so just tap your RFID card on the way in.

The items were just quickly added up by a person at the end of the line, then you'd scan your student barcode/tap an RFID card and be billed for that amount. This was never the bottleneck in getting served.

> It is usually billed in the general proximity of tuition, so if parents are paying they can be sure the money is spent on food rather than beer.

You were billed in arrears at the start of the next term, so it was clear the money was going to the college (you could also use your card in the college bar, but IIRC this was itemised differently so parents could check if they want).

> It is nice to take the financial concern out of the nutritional balance calculus.

Certainly nice, but removing trays may skew the balance in other ways (FTA "trayless dining decreased the percentage of diners who took salad by 65.2 percent but did not decrease the percentage who took dessert").

> they can make sure everything that the students get is biodegradable / Plus is is a nice community space.

Most people ate in halls anyway (the accommodation only had very rudimentary cooking facilities), so the first is still doable and we gathered as a group to dine most evenings. You'd also meet other people who happened to go at the same time.
How about one that also removes "uh", "er", "hi guys", ads, and beginning stretches where "I" predominates?

The linked "article" is confusing, but the issue seem to be this: The C# language server for Visual Studio Code (the components which provide language-aware UI like tooltips, code completion, squiggles etc.) is currently fully open source, but MS is going to refactor it to incorporate some closed source components.

It is not really clear to me why they are doing this and what they hope to achieve. Perhaps they want to create a for-pay "premium" version of the component? VS Code is probably cannibalizing Visual Studio sales. If enterprise customers move from Visual Studio to VS Code, MS will lose lots of money.
