People that have never been outside of the US think they are living rough. They also like to compare their living with only the most egalitarian societies in the world instead of 'the world'. Odds are pretty great that you live in comfort everyday. Your concerns then get to be centered around all the material things you lack. And, odds are great you've never had to sacrifice much of anything. Nothing real. You would never commit to working in a place you didn't want to go or taking a bad schedule because you, right now, want everything. You deserve it, don't you.

That's the attitude that, unfortunately, will also be found in America.

So, for those that have worked, have sacrificed, we aren't interested in hearing the solutions posed from a homogenous society of one distinct culture and obvious problems with irregularities or deviations from the norm.... Here's looking at you Nords

"When I search for ways to improve my online privacy, I find two extremes: people who think it's not worth it because Big Tech already have all our data, or complicated suggestions to flash my phone with a modded version of Android."

To be clear, like the OP, I am not referring to privacy from the government, i.e., so-called "state actors". I am referring to privacy from "tech" companies. Regardless of who develops the methods to trace crypto, or why they do so, history has shown it is "tech" companies, collectively, that have the greatest desire for internet surveillance data and pose the greatest risk to online privacy.

Do us a favor: instead of nitpicking to attack something that I never said, please consider the best possible interpretation of an argument.

When I say about eliminating fraud, I mean fraudulent payments. What happens after the transaction is a separate problem, and not one that is meant (or possible) to be solved by crypto.

If you as a customer want more safeguards, then of course it is not recommended and you should use other alternatives.

I'll agree that there are many situations where blockchain is being misapplied.

I think it's very unfair to say there aren't any applications though.

Blockchain solves the problem of "everyone has an agreed upon history of the entries in a ledger, and that ledger can't be edited by a bad actor, and there's a consensus algorithm to ensure new entries to that ledger are maintained."

That's exciting for situations where trusting a central actor to be well intentioned forever is not wise. Publishing "news" on a blockchain, so you don't have to worry about a future actor trying to whitewash what history is, as an example.
I agree. Wondering if such a warrant has ever been issued. This is the classic accessibility vs. security tradeoff.
Still, though, I have to wonder what the equivalent "CO2 reduction" would be considering that a white roof is likely to radiate most of the incoming sunlight back into space, where if it is radiating in infrared then that heat is more likely to be trapped on Earth.

Personally I'm not /rooting/ for it to go to zero. I just don't see how you can value it.
The fact that it's worth $20k is as arbitrary as $60k.

When it was a toy and people were buying pizzas with it I can sort of understand that as a bit of fun, but beyond that I just don't see the value. And if there isn't value it's just pure speculation hoping there's a bigger fool than you so you can take a profit.

Housing and stocks at least have something tangible behind them. You may disagree about the correct value, but it is most of the time non zero.
Yeah and it’s not a “killer app” like Lotus 123 was an improvement on paper accounts.

This is a lovely saying, but it feels like fairly strong false advertising. "We hope X", interpreted literally, implies that people physically engage in such forms of thinking. I do not believe this is actually true at ground level, rather, I think this is more of a story that we like to tell ourselves about ourselves.
what's not straight forward is understanding why the statement lists a single state and everyone else falls under 'communities across America' which the comment above clears up.
it really has less to do what they did than how it can be listed in their firing. if they sent an email to all spacex employees non work related during company hours they can mark that as 5 minutes wasted across whole company and grounds for firing. now it falls into the realm of cases that have been heard for union voting during company hours to the opposite end of spectrum of traveling to rallies and completely skipping out on work. so battle of who has the best lawyers/ if they choose easier to settle or make an example of them

I am curious for why people say this as in my experience when writing a function in a dynamic language that takes a variable as a parameter:

The function will generally only work on a subset of types for given variable.

If I don't check the type of the variable in the function, the function will not behave as you might expect, e.g. silently fail or crash.

If I do check for every possible type for a given variable:

I may not have a good way of handling certain types being passed in, I may be forced to either log something out, create a run time crash or even have the function silently fail. All 3 are bad run time behaviours.

If I am checking for every type in the functions, then using static typing would cause the failure at compile time so the bugs could never exist, but also being significantly less verbose than the dynamic language equivalent.
Typical UNIX FOSS rant, not taking into account all the development workflows on Windows.

Static typing reduces bugs because it aids your understanding.
That sounds like a problem that exists between the chair and the keyboard.
Overall the cost may not be that much but the bigger shift is to electrification of heating instead of a gas burning boiler, as electrical systems can take advantage of power from offshore wind / solar etc. another way of looking at it is most people will replace their boilers in the next 20-30yrs, if they can get a electrical heat pump system they should (and the governments should make this economically advantageous to do so).
Chena Hot Springs geothermal is a heat pump. It's an absorption chiller used partially (primarily?) to keep an ice house chilled as a tourist attraction. It works for such relatively low geothermal temperatures because the average Carnot Delta T is pretty good (because Alaska).

As to whether or not thermo-acoustic technology could work, that's a good question.
This looks great for those small TUI’s that you think “gosh I’d like a simple CLI to automate this”! Being able to produce small binaries or self contained static ones with a few compile flags is really great.

Cargo-bundle was supposed to do that, but only the Mac part was completed. Nobody ever did the .msi output. I've been trying to get someone interested in doing that. That task needs someone very familiar with the Microsoft ecosystem, which I am not. Discussion in Rust tools forum here.[1]

We won't run out of room on the ground. Population will level off, and concentrate in cities.

There will be no value in transmitting microwaves from space, because we get plenty of light already. Eventually, aneutronic fusion will provide more convenient concentrated power.

In the meantime, solar coexists nicely with farm crops and reservoirs, and we have many, many, many times as much of that as we would need to put solar onto, so it will only be on the best places for it, sharing with crops that get better yield by it.

When the population in space is large, they will almost all be descended from other people already there. Very few will have moved out there.
Nope, since XP that you can use mklink, and before there were Technet utilities for the same purpose.

However using symlinks just isn't a thing in the Windows culture, people use at most Shell shortcuts.
Lot's of people don't write all that well. A little disorganized, awkward phrasing, run on sentences. If AI does a better job than even 10% of the population then of course there's going to be a sizeable amount of miscategorizing when asking humans to classify writing as computer or human generated.

You could probably use a corpus of purely human writing and have people attribute a decent portion to computer generated.

Asking why AI writing can fool humans is a bit like asking why a computer is better at many tasks often performed by humans.
When I was at a BigCo, some groups would regularly send out big Excel spreadsheets of all the old stuff they were about to sell to resellers. You could buy it at the price the reseller would have paid.

People like to dunk on V because of its author and community, but I will say that the design of the language itself (leaving aside the implementation) is genuinely interesting. To me, it feels like what Go should have been. And I like Go. So obviously I have a bit of a soft spot for V.

Disclaimer: I’ve never actually used it.
I agree you should start with the data structure. Give someone a recursive data structure and have them try to write a function that does stuff with it.
My question is when government will obligate companies to identify and label AI generated content so people can distinguish it from human generated content?
People are great until they aren't.
Not necessarily. This increased ease of understanding could also simply result in faster development speed - so same number of bugs, but more features in less time.

Not sure though.
It's not the intended purpose but they can be used like this. Lock files can be written, will fail if they already exist - that gets you a distributed equivalent to flock doesn't it?
For game developers and GUI applications it is first class.

Something else I find rather likely is that different people are working most effectively with different methodologies (a believe that is grounded in the repeated experience of being shocked at how other people program and still be effective). So it is entirely plausible there is a self-selection bias that people that work best with strong types don't work on projects with weak types and vice verse. I guess its really hard to control for that effect when you want to look at big projects, since people need to be willing to work on that for a long time.

Git completely replaced Subversion so quickly because the benefits were apparent even at a small scale. Subversion was centralized and slow whereas Git branches were cheap and fast.

> I am curious for why people say this

I'm saying it because it's a fact. I'm not giving you an opinion - it's a falsifiable fact that you can verify for yourself - we have as an industry not been able to give any good evidence for static typing reducing bugs that has stood up to peer review.

You're presenting arguments for why you think there should be evidence... but when people look there isn't actually any evidence. Maybe your arguments are not sound for some reason that we don't understand, or maybe we are unable to measure the effect.
It does support them, mklink.

To be contextually fair, Apple charges $400, and the storage isn't replaceable. Who runs their editor off of an external drive? I imagine the number is very small.

Although, on my machine, Xcode only seems to be taking up 17GB, not 70GB.
All the designers I know are awesome at being open and responding to outside inputs.

I work as a user researcher and in general designers tend to be the very best, both at showing a real interest and investing themselves into the research and also at incorporating the results.

Designers tend to have a real interest in improving their designs and getting clarity on things they themselves may be uncertain about.

However, I’m not working in the context those people talked about there work in. (Also, UI design, not hardware design. So not very comparable.)

Well this is sure to be a reasonable thread with reasonable arguments coming from both sides. Surely the usual patterns of any vlang criticism won't pop out again.

Unfortunately, Vlang isn't a project out of an overeager young dev (not anymore at least), but at the same time, it hurts no-one. Sure, the author is making 1k a month out of it, but it's not like it's the scam of the century making him rich. I see startups on HN lying harder than that every week. Just let the dude make his stuff on his side, have a good laugh when articles like this come out, and that's it. Look at legitimate alternatives like Zig or Odin, and keep V as a fun little distraction when you want to see what overpromising looks like
Better check those desktop market share numbers.
I wouldn't bet a single dollar on V improving to any qualitative level. It's been a surprisingly large transpiling hack. Graydon Hoare had some PLT knowledge before going on doing Rust, it's not just feature names and potential impl.
Please, stop making silly laws and let the market work.
My recommendation is that if you like the look of V, you should consider Zig or Odin as well. Personally, Zig seems like the most promising C-but-modern language due to the interesting compile-time programming features and impressive investment in toolchain infrastructure.
Except all the parent comments of the discussion just said "Pro" and/or "M1 Mac", yours is the first that specified 13" MBP. So there seems to be some confusion and/or disagreement about what is being discussed.

I was on the receiving end of numerous support cases caused by what has to be on the sub-dollar cent savings (per single sku) region when multiple mainboard manufacturers chose to use capacitors with slightly worse tolerances all of a sudden (~25 years ago).

So if the whole process of spec'ing and validating the quality of sourced materials was within their action space, ofc they'd choose (potential) fault-tolerance over price, as it was mission critical.

So there might be a reason why we refer to it today as space race and not race to the bottom.
One curious thing about the What's My IP Address? page (the only one I looked at) -- it also detected 4 other devices on my network (192.168.xx.xx, 10.0.xx.xx, etc). But how?

Well, there's a list of 92 ip addresses (iplist -- it's a slightly weird list but I suppose it's based on common router and cable modem addresses). For each one, it runs an XmlHTTPRequest(). But none of the detected IP addresses are running web servers, you say. No matter. Most TCP stacks will send a TCP reset if there's nothing listening on the port (this can often be disabled with the proper incantation) which will result in an onerror callback and therefore there is a device If there is no device (or TCP reset is disabled) it will eventually result in the ontimeout callback. And of course, if there is a web server running, the success callback will trigger. So success or an failure indicates a device on your network.
The title was a direct quote pointing to a specific part of the article.

If the article had been a series of tweets, they could have linked to that tweet and it would have been fine and not been editorializing.

That's why I'm iffy on calling it editorializing. Even if it is, I blame URLs for not allowing the equivalent of linking a specific tweet from a series.

It's especially bad when there's a news roundup article talking about 3 or 4 different things, and you can't just submit the third one with the title of that section.
I've done a lot of Erlang, but no Elixir; as long as you can still access charlists, I don't see what you might lose by having a much better default. Changing "foo" to mean something other than a list of codepoints in Erlang would cause a lot of trouble, but Elixir started when assuming utf8 binaries was clearly the right answer.

Having a list of codepoints is kind of useful, but unicode gets pretty complex, some things are multiple codepoints but essentially indivisible (unicode flags, for example don't make much sense with only one code point), so codepoints aren't the useful unit that byte/characters are in 8-bit encodings.
I'm really curious how you go about getting users for something that's this niche - specifically, people who need to build a knowledge base for their company and already have something like it in Google Drive - but you obviously are doing so pretty well. Could you share how you did that?

Verification process is insanely intrusive and a non-starter. Good luck, though. Your UI/UX is good.
There appear to be slightly weird commercial reasons behind this, because gaming GPUs have great CUDA performance but NVIDIA won’t let you put them in a datacentre. So buying your data scientists gaming laptops (RGB and all) generally works out faster for any reasonable price point. That said, a dedicated server with a decent Xeon and MKL set up correctly generally outperforms CPU-bound stuff.
