That's pretty cool. The specs look like this is both faster and cheaper than the main link of this thread, unless I'm missing something?
Sarcasm aside, it is possible for Go to beat C in some scenarios.

The secret is the garbage collector. In high memory allocation applications a GC can be more efficient than direct heap allocations. This is especially true if the C/C++ application is making heavy use of reference counting. A GC will ultimately have lower overhead than managing the reference counting.

All that said, in pure CPU calc scenarios with low allocations, C will almost certainly beat the pants off of go. Go's compiler is... subpar. Yes, it compiles fast, but it does that by ditching optimizations (perhaps this changes with LLVMGo).

The fiber is much cheaper because it's so much more common.

For example:
I/O fiber is about 0.10 cents a foot or less for 2 fiber cable. (12 fiber is only 20 cents a foot).

OSP gel-filled direct burial is 0.55 cents a foot or less for 2 fiber cable. (12 fiber is only 65 cents). This is micro-armored OSP cable, resistant to chewing/damage as well.

Basic 18 awg single pair shielded direct burial wire is about 0.80 cents a foot. Can't even find a non-expensive armored version

10km single fiber transceivers at 10gbps are 40 bucks.

10km dual fiber transceivers at 10gbps at 29 bucks.

It would be much cheaper, more effective, and a better result to just use fiber for 1km here.

You could easily bury 12 fiber cable and use it for the price you will pay to use single-twisted-pair.
You probably know best since you've done both and you have some idea about what you like. You can have a great career with either.
So... aren't we kind of coming full circle if we do that, going back to the JVM+Swing except this time it's boxed in a window and is more dynamic...

As someone who has watched every possible minute of each world cup since 2002 I plan on avoiding this one entirely.

Everything about it is wrong.

When the depth of FIFA's corruption was uncovered a few years ago* I honestly thought the Qatar decision would be overturned. Giving the competition to a country with no footballing history and no recognisable players, teams or clubs was beyond comprehension.

*officially uncovered, I think everyone with a little interest in the game knew it was chock full of dodgy practices
I'm not a dev. For me, OBS has generally been a confusing hassle to deal with because of its laughably bad UI/UX.

The UI/UX needs simple English with pull downs so that users can form, gasp, simple English sentences which, of course, OBS would interpret as commands. The user would pull down stuff like, "I want to record 10 minutes of low quality video with high quality audio that is not larger than 50 megabytes in size which I will upload to YouTube."

Then OBS would translate that English into "coding magic." This sort of UI/UX is obviously worthwhile, and would be easy to implement.

In the past I have employed some kludgy workarounds which kind of, sort of worked. But I don't really need OBS for much. Therefore, to me, OBS is a typical FOSS "problem child" which I use despite disliking.
Why are you mostly ignoring fiber comments in this thread? It seems like a no-brainer.
1KM of fiber cable for $60 seems crazy cheap when you contrast it with 3D printer filement. More so as I'd of thought the former be more expensive to manufacture.
> Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community is a 2000 nonfiction book by Robert D. Putnam. It was developed from his 1995 essay entitled "Bowling Alone: America's Declining Social Capital". Putnam surveys the decline of social capital in the United States since 1950. He has described the reduction in all the forms of in-person social intercourse upon which Americans used to found, educate, and enrich the fabric of their social lives. He argues that this undermines the active civil engagement which a strong democracy requires from its citizens.

I think what you've shown is that everything is political to you. Most people don't see a bowl of fruit and see it as a political message.
Yeah, multimode fiber seems to be the red headed step child of the networking world these days, but that's a good question about the cost of it vs copper. It's just plastic, right? It seems like a good option for high speed SOHO or perhaps within rack networking. But if I was running cable in my house today, I think I'd still go copper for PoE capability.
Weird cause I have the opposite effect. Firefox is way slower... On Linux, Firefox didn't even implement any video accelerated decoding for the longest time and it is still buggy and has poor support for Wayland with glitchy artifacts during resizing, etc. I'm using an older computer with Linux and wouldn't be able to use the web reliably if it weren't for Chromium.

The thing they describe as the box is literally a Ponzi scheme. You put in some money and you get high guaranteed return.

You have money, and you even can cash out some unless too many people try to cash out at the same time. Then it turns out there's no money to cover the returns.

Key innovation that further obfuscates this is that instead of cashing out directly you might use IOUs from the Ponzi scheme as a collateral to borrow some money and never pay it back leaving your Ponzi collateral with person that borrowed you money.

Noone has an incentive to cash out direclty to not endanger percieved valuability of Ponzi box. And everybody has incentive to push as much IOUs to as many new people as possible in exchange for hard currency.
Actually need something like this, but I need to be able to program the microcontroller for my own uses (to use it to convert and transfer sensor data). Is the firmware source code available?
You can also buy 50km on that page! But the fiber is raw (unprotected) so I would think that its not usable to run outdoors?
Not speaking for btilly here, strictly for myself: I think it depends on the kind of book, kind of writing, and personal expectations. When reading a novel, I'm mostly interested in the story and character development, and less in things like long descriptions of the environment (which Jean Auel does, a lot, though maybe not as much in the first one IIRC). I'm like the kid always asking "what's next" even before the narrator finishes his sentence.

So I like to read fast, and maybe there are some things I'm missing but I don't feel like that's a loss.

Mind you I'm not really speed reading (I think), I just read pretty fast. And skip uninteresting pieces of text (by skip I mean read some words or parts of sentences here and there, like the start and/or end of paragraphs, to know what the text is about so I know where to resume normal reading).

Now food is something else entirely :) I'm a pretty fast reader but a slow eater.
We've just released a new feature on the Snipd app - CarPlay support.

With a lot of podcast listeners doing so on their drive to/from work, we've now shipped an update so users can easily highlight and save something interesting or insightful that they hear on podcasts with one quick action. When the user creates a snip, the AI will determine the best start & end point of the newly created highlight, transcribe the moment and also generate a summary & title suggestion for it.

All of the snips created during the drive can be found in the Snips library for editing or revisiting at a more convenient time.

Happy listening and drive safe everyone!
There's tons of them out there. It's like the To Do List or Notes app of NLP/AI. You'll find many in the Show HN segment too.

We are not omnivores. Humans are obligate hypercarnivores that are capable of scavenging other energy sources for survival. Plenty of animals, both herbivores and carnivores, are capable of eating foods that they were not developed to eat, but that does not mean it's optimal or good for them.

Humans only became "omnivores" in the last 30,000 years as a result of agriculture. For several million years prior to that, hominins ate diets almost entirely of meat from ruminants and occasionally some roots and tubers. If we were designed to eat everything in a "balanced" proportion, as is often suggested, we would have a cecum to properly ferment plant material, and our digestive systems would be more basic than acidic.
If you haven't looked into this already, I'd recommend checking out how to write a udev rule for your USB devices. There's probably a way to lock them down so OBS identifies them consistently.

You were arguing that the word “perfectly describes translating from one formal language into another”. The word doesn’t do that, as it’s not descriptive in that sense.

Furthermore, translating from (say) JSON to XML is also “translating from one formal language into another”, but that’s not an example of what we mean by “compiler”.

So what do we mean? That’s actually not easy to define. Defining it as translating from one programming language into a different programming language isn’t quite correct, because machine-code binaries aren’t a programming language. Defining it as translating from a programming language into a different representation preserving the program semantics is also not quite correct, because e.g. pretty-printing to HTML would arguably fit that definition.

Clearly there’s some general definition of what we mean by “compiler”, even if I’m failing to find a precise and correct wording for it here. But there’s also the more narrow meaning of “translating from a programming language into object code”, which is what is usually meant in the majority of cases. Because we don’t have a separate word for that narrower definition, there is some ambiguity. The word “transpiler” resolves the ambiguity in one direction. In the other direction, the ambiguity is usually resolved by assuming that “compiler” means “to object code” by default when the context doesn’t specify otherwise.
Something like Grammarly? Browsers seem to have a good grammar check feature built in too.

This is a really interesting idea. The big question is whether needing to use so many more words is worth it. If your adjectives are simple and memorable enough, then maybe it is.

It has nothing to do with Apple and everything to do with the experience being objectively terrible.

Julia is more for Scientific Computing than Data Science, think weather prediction and fluid simulations vs data visualization and gradient boosted trees. In that niche Julia is doing pretty well in fact. Also it's an interesting language in general, with a nice macro system and a powerful multiple dispatch one, it's definitely worth learning IMO.
For me an important part of reading fast is finding out which parts are interesting and which parts are not, and then focusing more on the interesting parts.
Interesting that the website claims this is a “TUI” framework. In my mind, TUI means full screen, interactive terminal applications. This library seems focused on readable printing. The GitHub shows a full screen live timer, but there’s no obvious discussion of layouts, widgets, etc.

Concrete made from Portland cement lasts at least 100 years and generally we don't need more. If anything, we want the flexibility of stuff that "only" lasts around 100 years, because you know, due to new tech and changing economies, we want to be able to model our cities periodically.

And Portland cement is cheaper and can be made in much larger quantities.

This is kind of a recurring story with these topics: we know how to make it "better", but we don't really need that "better", we do need "cheaper" and "higher availability" instead.
We once heard a big bang in the morning as the power went out. Decided to go for a bike ride and saw the just-fried squirrel at the base of the pole right behind my house.

I can highly recommend Wool & Prince shorts (wearing them now while living out of a backpack). They make pants too. They are a nylon blend, which is much better than other brands i've found because one of the benefits of wool is it is oleophili (doesnt absorb oil) and nylon shares this property. Any other synthetic blend and you lose that property. Their wool shirts are also the only ones i travel with.
Some did some didn’t. You can’t claim something for all Paleolithic peoples across all climates and regions
IMO this is a terrible take on what companies should be doing. "Unless there's a law against it we should be doing it" is not how people who make up a corporation should be thinking.
That's not legal, and it doesn't happen in cases of the kind of workers you are talking about. Taking passport or treating to be accused of rape and similar things happen (not commonly) to domestic workers and drivers. In occasions they buy the right of Kafala from the Kafil for a couple of $1000s and you leaving before your contract ends feel to them like a loss of money, I would say the situation here is indeed similar to slavery. For industry workers, every worker is replaceable and the company hiring you has 0 incentive to force you to stay.

The real issue in gulf is not paying livable wages mainly. Anything else is comparable to farm workers in Europe.
Main reason POE is useful is that it lets you deliver power over existing wires.
If you are running new wires, you can already do what you want.

They make plenty of fiber+power in single cable, because the fiber is unaffected by the power.

Running 1km of slow, expensive, single-pair cable to run low-data rate + power, vs fiber+power cable saves you essentially one connector.
For very high cost - in money and loss of bandwidth.

Plus 10base-t1l is not common, so the price of equipment is high as well.

I think it's simpler. Religion and science answer different questions, because if they ever disagree on an answer, it instantly ceases to be a religious question. Never the other way around. This asymmetry is like the arrow of increasing entropy, always pointing towards science.

Another asymmetry is that it's possible to hold scientific and religious beliefs at the same time (thanks to the above), but never two different religions at the same time. I know lots of Catholic scientists, but no Catholic Buddhists.

These emerging Ethernet standards are cost effective upgrades for large industrial objects like warehouses and monstrous vehicles.

You may have an unused phone line or just some reserved pins in a connector, and the cable runs a quarter mile to the other end of “this”. The existing solution is working, albeit inconvenient, and it will be nice to be able to just add Ethernet telemetry or control to it. That’s where these shine.

Tell HN: Microsoft limits GitHub accounts of Russian citizens anywhere
I believe their system limits users based on past payment and IP address history.

Limitation seems to concern paid features only for the time being (I only realized this when I couldn't sponsor a project yesterday).

As long as you are limited, you cannot update your billing address.

The only way to lift the restrictions is the appeals form*, which requires submitting a non-Russian photo ID. Apparently, regardless of where you reside, a Russian user who paid Github from Russia or with a Russian billing address at least once must obtain another citizenship (probably not a problem for the wealthy ones?) to keep using their existing Github account fully.

> I have a parallel term I use, jiggle programmers. They can jiggle code around until it works, often working off existing code.

We're all jiggle programmers then. Once the applications architecture is established, we hang new feature on it by following that architecture.

Very very few of us get to only write code from scratch every day. Most of the time, when I'm writing from 0, I'm working on a R&D PoC. If I'm not doing that, I'm jiggle programming a new feature into an existing architecture.

> With the rise of self-taught programmers, you will see more take this copying approach than the academic redistillation.

I was self-taught before university. I learned on a C=64 and then an early x86 back in the day. If you didn't figure it out on your own, you hoped you would see it in a magazine or book some place. I learned a lot about how computers worked at a fundamental level from the C=64. I don't think self-taught is the issue. I think it's how much the person really wants to know about computers and CS.

Frustration with the shortcomings of older web standards resulted in the prevalence of browser plugins like Adobe Flash, and non-standard technology like ActiveX.

If there are things browsers can't do natively, then someone will build their own way to do it and then you end up with non-standard implementations.

It's better to get everyone on the same page and develop an open standard.
