▶ is not a box-drawing character like the rest, so most monospace fonts won’t support it, so it’ll be rendered in a different font with almost certainly different metrics, so in environments that follow text metrics rather than rigidly drawing on a grid, that arrow will ruin everything. The web is one such environment.

> In Wasm a null pointer just refers to memory[0] and it is a legal address to read and write from.

Uh, can anyone explain the reasoning behind this? Because it looks like WASM just made an absolutely brain dead decision here that flies against everything computers have done for the last ~20 years.

Yes yes there exist systems without MMUs where 0x0 is a valid address (along with all the low range addresses for that matter). But it definitely isn't a friendly or "modern" design, so why on earth would WASM go with it? Why wouldn't they just have a fixed offset? I mean really the brk based memory scheme was already bad enough, but to start at 0x0?

EDIT: Oh, also worth noting this doesn't just affect compiled languages like C/C++. But also languages like Java. How do you think NullPointerException works? The runtime isn't inserting if checks before every object access, that'd be murderously slow. No, it's just letting the deref trap and converting the segfault into an NPE exception. So WASM is also a PITA for high level languages that don't expose pointers at all. Well, that's once WASM code can catch traps in the first place, which currently it cannot.
If we're already assuming an IDE, how about one that expands images which are linked in comments? It'd have minimal friction if everyone else on the team uses the IDE, and if someone does not, they can open the link instead.

You might find Dr. Dominic D'Agostino's websites or podcasts with various people instructive. He gained prominence after being amplified on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, but long before that, he was developing ketogenic solutions for the ONF (Office of Naval Research), specifically using ketones and the ketogenic diet to allow SEALs to remain submerged for longer periods due to a synergistic effect with ketones and oxygen metabolism in the brain.

His websites:

He has specifically discussed how to solve the problem you had, but it's buried in one of his podcasts somewhere, and I haven't listened to them in ages.

Yeah, this is what I view as a enormous weakness of Haskell compared to Lisp/Scheme, where in the latter descriptive naming is a community norm.

It makes for much more readable code... especially if I've been away from the language for a while.

The decoupling of ingress and deployments always bothered me, although it might not be a _nightmare_ exactly.

In short, the ingress may route traffic to a pod after it is killed. The solution is that when a pod gets a SIGTERM signal, it should mark itself not ready, wait for some amount of time and then shut down (see e.g. https://deepsource.io/blog/zero-downtime-deployment/). I've heard arguments for this behavior, but it's not the same trade-offs I would make.

eBay flagged a gift card after using it twice from the same account and froze it with no indication of what they had done—the balance simply went to zero.

I messaged live support, which eventually told me I needed to verify it by sending a photo of the card and the receipt used to buy it (it was a two year old GIFT card). They eventually settled for just the card.

After three days it was unfrozen only to be instantly refrozen (again, no warning) when I tried to use it. I went through the same process and a few days later it finally worked.
That was one of the most inspiring episodes of the podcast, thanks so much!

50. When wrongful thoughts come into your heart, dash them against Christ immediately.
56. Listen willingly to holy reading.
57. Devote yourself frequently to prayer.
58. Daily in your prayers, with tears and sighs, confess your past sins to God, and amend them for the future.
60. Obey in all things the commands of those whom God has placed in authority over you even though they (which God forbid) should act otherwise, mindful of the Lord's precept, "Do what they say, but not what they do."
62. Fulfill God's commandments daily in your deeds.
70. Pray for your enemies in the love of Christ.

> I don’t think the “AI community”—people with access to lots of GPUs—should also get to be the thought police.

I understand how it could be perceived that way. However, I don’t think it is the intent.

If nuclear researchers had developed a laissez-faire attitude and commonly dumped large amounts of radioactive material they were testing, into aquifers that people drink from, eventually a perception of the whole nuclear field as toxic and lethal would develop. Since researchers don’t want that perception to develop, they keep each other in check and set safety standards.

This is researchers keeping each other in check to avoid another AI winter.

Look at it this way: Yannick seemingly had a low enough opinion of 4chan that he felt it was OK to dump one message a minute over a week. Someone out there has a low opinion of HN; if there was no consensus among researchers that doing this is bad, they could similarly unleash bots over HN that pass any CAPTCHA, sound like commenters, and yet have an agenda to prop up various companies or scams.
It's highly unlikely they would remain that close unless they split apart very soon before impact. Solar radiation exerts a small force on any object in space that depends on the object's orientation, reflectivity, rotation, etc. This introduces a small variation in it's flight path that can add up to several kilometres of uncertainty in just a few weeks. So even objects with very close flight paths, but differences in structure and rotation, will diverge. Objects with low mass to surface area and an elongated shape, such as empty fuel tanks, are subject to particularly high uncertainty in their trajectory.

One could say its a chicken and egg problem,

but I am too jaded, corporate hollywood banks on safe movies, remakes/prequels/sequels. Its because its guaranteed profit that makes accountants happy.

That's why we hardly get anything interesting movies to see, nobody is allowed to risk or have their vision.

Also cinemas have been largely monopolized and deal with big producers mainly. Tarantino gave an interview about how (i think) hateful 8 was push out of schedule because disney demanded from multiplex only disney releases in given time frame.

(opinion) AI: The master algorithm fallacy
There seems to be the belief that there is a "master algorithm" for consciousness and thought which, if only we could discover it, would enable computers to be conscious.

I believe that consciousness and thought are emergent phenomena, similar to a traffic jam. They are not created by algorithm but are a product of a gestalt.

A sufficient level of complexity is needed for conscious behavior to arise. Tropism is the simple form. Gains in complexity give rise to more "intelligent" behavior. While the underlying system needs to be able to remember and change behavior (aka learning) and is necessary, it is not sufficient.

While I have no idea how to design a system that has specific emergent behavior, I believe approaching "consciousness" algorithmically is fruitless.

The very idea of "emergent behavior" research seems interesting. Such behavior occurs everywhere, such as when a crowd forms with many side-effects, rain turns into floods, cell phone communication destroys privacy and ants create huge structures.

What happens when a billion ML systems are randomly interconnected, "learning" from each other and from outside positive / negative feedback?

even if Deckard is, I don't think that Roy would necessarily know - there's no indication that they can recognise their own (and if they could, that should be the basis of any test, rather than the psychological test they have to use).
It's just a meme at this point, and has been for 60 years. Fixed-wing airliners become a gargantuous fireball of death if they ever happen to hit the ground after takeoff, which they have occasionally done with someone filming the disaster.

The solution to that problem is through law, not inferior technical solutions.

Isn't the quick fix that you arrive at some page, and there have to press a button or load some JS to do some action? AFAIK most email providers (like Gmail) will also visit links. Therefore you shouldn't do actions directly on the GET request. For instance if you have an unsubscribe link and all you have to do is visit that address, most of your subscribers will be accidentally unsubscribed.

Same if you paste a link in Slack/FB/Discord/Twitter whatever, they will visit the page to create a preview. GET requests shouldn't have side effects.

I think that's unrelated. Seems to be something that's only for Callables.
I’ve used lenses, and yes, at least in my case, I couldn’t resist writing clever code. It was a lot of fun to write, but a giant nuisance to read later.

I don’t think this is the fault of lenses, though. I think they can add clarity. The problem was that I got curried away. Heyo! I’ve seen the same thing happen with Scala, Clojure, Ramda, Haskell, Rx. Newcomers want to flex their new-found muscles and push the abstractions as far as they can. The result is a world of pain come maintenance time.
Correction: No, it's just bad.

Wonderfully, spectacularly, bad.
Null pointer derefs in C/C++ reliable crash on anything that isn't an embedded device. The times when the compiler "avoids" it are just times when the deref isn't actually used, and thus dead code eliminated. Which doesn't tend to result in incorrect code execution, but rather crashes later on that are harder to understand (like having "this" end up being null inside a member function)
It is also his job to know about that, too. But he demonstrates he is extraordinarily bad at that job.

I had ulcerative colitis from I was 18 until 46 which is a chronic inflammation with blood in the faeces. I switched to the carnivore diet and within some months all my symptoms disappeared. This was also confirmed with a colonoscopy in a hospital. My brain fog is also gone.

I used to be really strict but now I am more like 90-95% carnivore, but I try to get the carbs from potatoes, carrots and Nuts. I aim for under 50-100 grams on carbs a day since I lifts weights and do some CrossFit.

Info:
Ulcerative colitis (UL-sur-uh-tiv koe-LIE-tis) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and ulcers (sores) in your digestive tract.

I call this the incubation server.
If a project takes off I rent a more expensive, but dedicated, server.
It's very unlikely that I ever need more than 1 single server per project.

I will never write microservices, I can scale fine with a monolith.
Lately I even moved away from JS frontends to render everything with Go on the server.
Yeah it requires more resources but I'll gladly offer those resources for lower response times and a consistent experience.

Sadly companies that are hiring don't see it that way. That's ok. I'll just stay unemployed and try building my own stuff until something succeeds again.

I had a 7 year long project that brought in 5-7k€/m. The server costed 60€/m.
I can do that again. I know it's not your kind of scale or income level, but it allowed me to have a good life living it my way.
The new type system goes pretty much against the idea of duck typing, I'd consider that a pretty big fundamental change. And it's pretty half baked on top (e.g. `a: int = "foo"` goes through the python interpreter without even a warning).

And while there it certainly does provide a lot of benefits, it does make the language look more and more like a huge pile of patchwork and afterthoughts. It neither feels simple nor consistent and the tooling is a mess as well, both overly complex (e.g. half a dozens tools to do basic type checking) and lacking really basic important features (e.g. easy way to compile ship able binaries).

Especially after all the pain of the python3 transition, it feels just frustrating how much of a mess it all is. The "only one way to do it" philosophy seems to have been thrown overboard a long while ago.

In 2 years what will your perspective on your decision be either way? Assuming all other things are equal...

Drop out: You most likely won't have wild success 2 years from now. Building marketable experience is a long uphill battle and if success were easy, then it wouldn't be considered so valuable.

Or don't drop out: You'll have a better marketable baseline. School and certifications make it easier to cold-apply to places. The more relevant they are, the more they help you avoid relying too much on social networks to move up.

The interviewee is talking about people who make a 10 or 20 year plan and then act surprised when life changes and they look back and feel regret over missed opportunities. They're not saying to forego building safety nets.

If you have concrete opportunities that you are giving up in order to complete school, then that's a different position than simply wanting to be available for opportunities that have not yet been offered.

More distributed system than Kubernetes, but quite fun :
We deployed a MongoDB cluster on our Kubernetes Clusters. Our application was a having a chat feature that stored the messages into the MongoDB cluster. After some months, we realized that we got some weird issues, some messages was arriving in the wrong orders, like :
1. A : Hi !
2. B : Bye ! See you next time !
3. A : Great and you ?
4. B : Hello ! How are you ?

We thought it was an application issue, but it was that actually on the database side : the timestamp of each message was using the local time of the mongodb instance. And between different instances, the time was different. We realized that the Kubernetes Nodes had issues to connect to the NTP server, due to a rule in an random firewall.

When we fixed it, every other messages where in the good order
