It's less of a problem, I think, than you think it is. In the enterprise world, Java is / was a similar de-facto standard because they paid good money for Java enterprise servers, Oracle databases, trainings, frameworks, the works.

I'd rather work for a monoculture than a cowboy pick-whatever-you-want one; it's not a dichotomy, sure, but I'm aware of the latter for business continuity. You run into scaling and talent acquisition issues. Bus factor. Etc. If you as a company can say "We need a Deno developer" instead of "We need a full-stack Javascript/NodeJS/Scala/Java/Go/Rust/Erlang developer" (just to name a random array of languages) you can hire and train a lot better.
Yup, though I do think in some cases if the indexes into the function table are known a sufficiently smart compiler can inline it anyway, even if the linkage isn't static: https://godbolt.org/z/6cY7zxT9W
They were pretty popular on HN, always been. I know because I participated in a lot of discussions the past years here about all the stupidity going around the cryptocurrency space.

Don't let your biases write your comments.
You already know Dart, it's very familiar if you have done some C# / Java etc previously.
Do you realize that humanity has an enormous pool of people from multiple races and cultures, which have a near death experience on a regular basis? They are called soldiers. The representation of humans groups is near perfect in the army, excepts for women obviously.

There is no evidence that near death experience can change human thinking to the "belief" in any statistically significant numbers. The only people who claim to become "believers" after such experience are probably people already on the verge of believing due to their psyche or education or both.
Nah, the legal hype will die in a year at most.
The % of people looking for interesting places to stay vs those that just want lodging is probably very low. If I was a hotel, I would probably check which area has high demand and simply provide safe, secure, predictable lodging. It makes you wonder how sustainable is Airbnb’s business model at a specific location is over a 10 year period is. I predict that Airbnb’s business model will be hard to sustain over a long period. Hotels will always win in the long run.
It's microservices all the way down!
Let's made a game: how much electricity in kWh you need to extract a liter / gallon of H₂? How fast H₂ leak from a generic tank/in what form you propose to contain it and how much energy such form demand.

With this data we can discuss scalability.
We bill everyone for 1% of their net worth, and if they fail the exam, government keeps the money. And if you fail you can not contribute money to campaigns etc.
They are both volatile and unpredictable, any investment could easily be wiped out in a day or week, and there is the added challenge of having to maintain and secure one’s own keys and use privacy preserving tools and techniques.

But if you are OK with all that, ETH and BTC are fine investments for those seeking to self-manage a high risk high reward portfolio, and ofc. for only a small percentage of net wealth

but I would argue against BTC on the grounds of PoW energy waste - keeping your portfolio greener - and the fact that ETH is able to achieve the same international digital-gold-like properties but with better cryptographic tech, interoperability and privacy features. It is hard to see the long term 10 years BTC thesis - maybe only scenario where it continues to surpass ETH is if PoS proves to be an untenable consensus mechanism.
What is your take on "auto" coding tools like Tabnine and Copilot ? How useful are they in your line of work ?
>a chronic lack of sleep can cause Alzheimer’s, and I don’t think most people realize that.

I'm certainly aware there is a correlation, but unfortunately my life is not so structured that I can get sufficient sleep.
I don't think it really counts as a desktop. Although it does lead to better software support for, and exposure to, linux on the desktop.

I see it more as separate device segment that linux could very well take over, like it has for phones and servers.
The better phrase might be the "tar pit of immediacy", from the Unix chainsaw talk by Gary Bernhardt. Highly recommend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQnyApKysg4
> Same with GDPR. I often ask companies to remove my data, and legally they should, but I highly doubt many of them do

I was talking once with a friend who deals with GDPR issues at their company. They said that they’re required to keep a record of deletion requests so it can be spelunked through vendors for a full deletion. This often creates more data than was originally deleted.
The other way around. The AI tool gets trained on leaked/public/etc proprietary software, someone writing GPL code uses the AI tool to write copyleft code based on the proprietary code, perhaps including some verbatim copying.
Well yes, the full Lunar Pro app is compilable. I'm only open sourcing Lunar Free which is not compilable without some mocks, not even on my own machine.

But whatever, since all I've had is attacks and flat out stealing from the "open source community", I'll only release closed source binaries from now on so that I'm staying away as much as possible from this drama.

I'm not gaining anything from calling it "open source", it's just what regular people understand easier than "source available" or "semi-closed source" or however OSS people would like to call it just for the sake of pertaining to an arbitrary Open Source Definition like it's the law.

Lunar started as open source until v4 and Lunar v3 is still in the lunar3 branch, as compilable and usable and open as it ever was. I wanted to contribute my knowledge just how I got help from reading and using part of the ddcctl source code.

And people did profit from that: all current M1 DDC solutions (MonitorControl, DisplayBuddy, m1ddc and BetterDisplay) are based on my code from the DDC.c and DDC.swift files. I've created competitors for the only business that's keeping me afloat financially, so I'm definitely not liking when people attack even this gesture.

I'm probably sounding like an old man shouting at the sky, these words are not a direct reply to your comment anymore so hopefully you won't take it personally.
On the other hand, it is how it is often used informally in speech. I would probably have written eg ~100 instead, but I easily understood what they meant.
As a reminder for people reading this, the TRS80 & co came out around 1977. PCs reached ubiquity around 1995-1997, I would say (mass introduction in offices and schools around the world - not only in developed countries; mass purchases for at home, both for work/homework and for fun). So that would mean around 20 years.

And back then we had Moore's Law on our side.

So truly mainstream VR might be 20+ years from now.

I don't think it is parasitic per se but I do believe one of the problems is that it draws in people that have problems with others freely sharing knowledge if it is to their dislike. Same problem with some moderators and I think the best Wikipedia ever had left the project already.
One of the interesting things I heard about Brian Chesky was that at one point he decided he was going to permanently live in Airbnbs. I thought that was really interesting because that Airbnb will be run by a guy who has the experience of being a billionaire using Airbnbs. I wonder if that's had an effect on the company's direction.
Yes, Bing still exists. Like you say, that's where a lot of DDG results come from.
This is nonsense. Most Western nations fully respect IPR and patents.

There is nothing wrong with patents "promoting the Arts and Sciences".

The problem in the US is that your largest buyers (Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Tricare) aren't allowed to properly use their buying power to push pharma companies on prices.

At the same time, there's very little restriction on pharma companies advertising directly to patients (banned in most nations) which puts pressure on GPs and specialists to over/off-label prescribe unnecessary pharma.

Prices in most countries are cheaper than the US because of that buying power that the government has, along with independent assessment of the value of new drugs and treatments in terms of QALY and cost/benefit to the people.
Ammonia production is already in billions of dollars, we produce 191 million tonnes

What is the basis in physics for your belief that ammonia can be produced more efficieblntly, and why was it not done already?
the two "why" laptops before the frame.work laptop are ranked 97.6 which is rounded to 98 and then 9,8 as score; the frame.work is ranked 97.0 without rounding so it ends being 9,7 .

the frame.work gets a higher score on the ease of disassembly and the tools you need to disassemble, but it gets a lower score on the documentation ( <flame> maybe documentation is not in french </flame> ) and on the price ratio for the component; probably frame.work parts are a bit more expensive in comparison with the price of the laptop.
You can run thelounge somewhere and use thst as web interface. Android and iOS allows you to iconify a website, so that would feel like a native app.

that's so bad that i instantly closed airbnb and opened booking.com
so the only way to not have your code as a learning source for co-pilot is to move all the code off GitHub? And even in that case your past/existing code would be source material?
I'd like to know which email provider(s) you use outside the 14-eyes, assuming you're not self-hosting. There are some privacy focused and relatively cheaper ones that avoid the five-eyes, but end up being in the nine-eyes or 14-eyes countries.

Note: I'm not considering ProtonMail (Switzerland) as relatively cheap. I came to know about CTemplar (Iceland), but that shutdown a month ago.
As an alternative theory... A lot of the airbnb and hospitality industry got annihilated in the last few years. An adaptation to this state of affairs has been more and more hotels or AirBNBs where travelling to the hotel. In Japan there seems to be quite a lot of this[1]; maybe they are the most pronounced example hotels needing to evolve or die.

I am not deeply sold on this idea as a whole, but it seems like having a very low-maintenance van has its advantages right now compared to a hotel room which has probably sat empty for the majority of the last few years. As you say, it seems unlikely that airBNB is explicitly pushing them at the expense of other listings; more likely, it just is a consequence of the world we live in.

If you want to get super fancy, always compatible database migrations. Have both versions live, migrate to the new schema in 3 steps:

1. Old version

2. Old version/new version both live.

3. New version live after step 2 is confirmed as fully done.
The naivety is in thinking that if it doesn’t work in Canada then it must not be a solved problem. The naivety is in thinking that if you can find anecdotal evidence that in a particular instance Canada’s system worked worse than the U.S. system then it must be the case that Canada’s system is worse.

The U.S. per capita spends far more on healthcare than any other OECD country. We don’t get correspondingly better outcomes or coverage. Universal healthcare is a solved problem within the context that every system necessarily involves some sort of rationing since there aren’t enough medical resources in any country to do otherwise.

If you don’t want to use the phrase “solved system” then don’t but don’t pretend the U.S. is any way better other than in anecdotal instances. Below is a source for information on per capita spending for OECD nations. You can easily find information on health our outcomes, life expectancy, teen pregnancies, infant mortality, etc.

WebForms was WinForms for the web and for all the criticism it got, it was amazingly productive. The new Blazor framework is finally approaching that speed of development again.
I'd say that permacomputing's principles are first of all something to apply when designing new systems and new software, so as to prevent that from happening again.

I think systems such as Nix/Guix would be useful for permacomputing, with which (unlike in many Linux distros) you can keep old libraries that older un-upgraded apps depend on right beside newer versions of those libraries.
Replacing obesity with malnutrition will still leave you unhealthy but with different health problems.

Also hormone imbalance isn't unscientific. It has been widely been studied that women will have their periods change timing when malnourished.

Anectdotally: I had my testosterone levels wiped out when switching from a diet with excess calories to a one with not enough calories and nutrients. The condition fixed itself when I started practicing a balanced diet (with exercises).
I don't know if religion can totally answer the why question either. You end up with the unanswerable why is God?
> It seems the moral argument for Bitcoin is positively correlated with its price.

this is specious reasoning. The moral arguments for/against bitcoin have always been there. Judging the validity of arguments based on how often they appear in media is how you get burned/misled.
>If you're a man and you don't have self esteem issues trying online dating is an excellent way to develop them.

Thanks, you've exactly described what I'm feeling.
Heavy shell and vim user here, but I simply cannot imagine how this might be convenient. A bunch of readline-style shortcuts will do the job just fine. And they are everywhere. SSH, database prompts, even login screens support them.
The selling point of Go is readability, feature minimalism and code that might be boring to write but gets you readability in return. Putting a Lisp on top of that throws these away.

I'm not saying there's nothing left - channels, maybe the standard library. But putting a Lisp on top of Go feels like going strongly against the grain.
"Information wants to be free (freely copied)", even when it's information about you. Freely copied means stored in many places. GDPR is in essence reverse-DRM. Normal DRM prevents you from copying and storing some company's information. GDPR prevents companies from copying and storing information about you. And we all know how good DRM works.
I do believe that culture might even have started before ww2 when engineers produced too long lasting ladies stockings for the management and were asked to go back to the drawing board with stockings that did last forever (I do not have a source for that story but I've heard it multiple times from different groups of friends).
I think your pushback is good - I didn't think the explanation about multiple cores made sense either. The Go runtime doesn't magically spread things across cores. However, I don't think your sarcasm helps the conversation.
Microbe-services, probably
Yep. Its happening right now with Long hauler research for Covid where 19/20 of the top papers explaining the condition were not NIH funded. The NIH is so far behind in terms of research compared to organisations that are publicly or privately funded that its almost laughable and its controlling 1.1 billion USD and getting nothing done at all.

Its definitely not new, there was such a Cabal for ME/CFS research for nearly 60 years that considered the disease depression and to treat it with exercise and CBT, they successfully sucked up all the funding (still do) and have published numerous big studies including completely fabricated data and they still keep getting all the funding.

MS was similarly led down the wrong path for 2 decades with a similar cabal and limited funding with most research rejected and it only got exposed when the US Army noted that only those that caught EBV (mono,glandular fever) went on to develop the condition. Remains to be seen if the research money is no redirected due to this research and the enormous media coverage.

It is by and large the normal when it comes to disease funding, cabals with real promising research even drugs that showed promise in small trials or diagnostics that appear to work well getting rejected for funding for nonsense reasons. Its not a uniquely US/NIH issue either its definitely present in the UK's NHS as well.
> It's weak non-science.

This type of restriction is often more about the mental, "lifestyle" part than biology.
It's an alternative to calorie-counting, you automatically eat much less.

I went meat-only for a few months and then slowly transitioned to low carb (relative to western diets) paleo-ish.
I now enjoy eating vegetables I never touched before. Penn Jillette said the same thing about the potato method, it was more about palet-cleansing for him than actually losing weight on the potato itself.

It also gave me the opportunity to learn about every ingredient as I added it back into rotation.

> is learning to cook, actually cooking, and eating steadily

I grew morbidly obese on >80% homecooking.
It's actually about making the right choice, 10 to 20 times per day.

If you go potato-only, meat-only or whatever - you're eliminating a lot of bad choices.
In the end, reading a lot about food allowed me to make informed decisions and that seems to work for the long haul.

> a regular eating pattern

And what is that supposed to be? SAD?

3 of 5 of the questions in the FAQ are about these 2 turtles... Here I just wanted to know how different this was from something like noSQL.

>ETH

Which ETH? As far as I understand the currency keeps forking and rewinding every now and then because whatever safety features it provides to "smart" contracts are widely insufficient and the resulting buggy mess falls over the moment a sufficiently motivated script kiddy so much as sneezes into its general direction.

Also 23% faster with BR but I enjoyed reading that way less. As with yourself, I suspect that maybe I put pressure on myself to read faster for the BR.

As the article says, a better comparison may be to have a fake version of BR as the control.
We used AirBnB extensively in the past for our trips accross Europe with the kids, camping isn't always an option, especially for city trips. Not sure when, but at a certain point Booking.com just surpased AirBnB with selection, availalability and price, plus it does include hotels and the like. In some regions you find tons of options on bookong and basically none on AirBnB, Iceland is recent example where AirBnB was mostly useless.

Maybe those two things are related, AirBnB searching a nieche to occupy with more "exotic" options. After all, hotels didn't go away, did they?
Had this scenario in SF and lost out on $4k. Support just closed each chat to stop responses. The transcript of the phone calls they provided was inaccurate and they refused to provide the original audio.
I read just as much hocus pocus articles about "gut bacteria" then any "fad diets", and it all seems to boil down to "it looks important but we don't know how it works".
This is Kafkesque
We need to regulate stablecoins, and we need to regulate Web3 entities like regular companies.

And I believe regulations are coming. Regulations don't conjure out of thin air - but tend to be the result of people or governments getting screwed over.
I will translate from sarcasm to productive comment:

"The analysis appears to be flawed. The C code and Go code ultimately call different functions, making performance comparisons unreliable at best. Furthermore, the code is single-threaded and will not benefit from 'Go runtime scaling on multiple cores.'"
Why can't I rely on "avoid crypto, it's a scam"? I have to identify every new coin and it's mechanism of failure?
Very creative. Is this HRTF-like spatial audio or are you just modulating volume based on proximity/walls?
I too advocate for greater inequality by raising interest rates. The income share of capital must rise at the expense of the income share of labor.

Actually, I don't. I would rather see the abolishment of quantitative easing and central bank controlled short term interest rates by eliminating the zero lower bound by introducing a demurrage fee on excessive amounts of liquidity.

Nobody wants that. The latter is indispensable to allow interest rates to fall below zero to allow the economy to unwind when it doesn't want to grow.

Secretly every single human on this planet prefers inflation over negative interest rates due to loss aversion. Everyone thinks they can save money by making negative interest rates illegal. The losses don't disappear, they hust leak into thr economy in the form of inflation. All hail the money illusion, in the money illusion we trust.

Imagine if you were painfully aware of inflation every single year, that your bank account would literally tell you, you lost X dollars from inflation but your salary is automatically adjusted upwards to match inflation. That is what a negative interest rate does and nobody wants that, they want to stick their head into the sand, they want to use inflation as a political tool for their own cause.

Instead, you get this nebulous, creeping feeling that something is going wrong but you don't know by how much. So you just assume the worst and think the government is conspiring against you.
It seems like the shipment delay of the parts, as well as the ratio price-of-the-separated-part/price-of-the-part-in-the-laptop are factors.

It is not the parts that seem to be expensive, it's that they are more expensive bought separately than bought inside a new laptop.

Also the availability duration for the parts. Maybe the uncertainty stemming from that Frame.work is a recently created startup?

I’m all for it if it means free health care.
Yes it is.

Big-O means given an arbitrary function of some complexity, it is definitely bounded by this other function from the top, i.e. that other function is always larger than our arbitrary function.

f(n) \in O(n^2) means n^2 (ignoring constant factors) is always larger than f(n). If you have no polynomial elements in your O(g), then you only state the constant factor. Like in O(1).

So saying Cold_start(service) \in O(100 ms) is exactly the same as saying the cold start will always be below 100 ms. It makes sense to not say they are all O(1), although strictly they are, as the interesting bit is the difference in magnitude of the constant.
