I think he's confusing accepting a conclusion with accepting a premise. Which is what steelmanning is supposed to be, granting your opposition a premise and then pointing out why even in that scenario, why their conclusion is still wrong. Or maybe it's not. In which case, you need to investigate/challenge the premise.

And then there's the issue that for some people, they just don't want to be reached. They want to believe a specific way on a specific issue for whatever personal reasons. You can't steelman crazy.

And let's not forget, steelmanning isn't about others, it's about yourself. It's about trying to find out if you are wrong.
Which ones? The positive ones or the negative ones? I posted one of the positive ones.

I've been following V with interest for a while (a few years, maybe?). It got a lot of shade early on, somewhat justifiably-- the initial claims were highly suspect. Past V comment threads on HN leaned very negative.

That said, I like V. I'm glad to see the maintainers are still chugging along despite the criticisms. It gets better with each release.

I'm still not doing anything in production with it, as it's pre 1.0, and the Postgres performance issues are still a blocker for my production use-cases. But, I really hope to someday have V in my toolbelt for the places where I currently reach for Go.

Maybe so. Biggest issue was I had 2 years of severe cognitive issues.

So I couldn’t comprehend any of the paperwork. By the time I recovered enough to do anything it was too late to go after them.

I should have just let a lawyer deal with it and not worried about the 25% lifetime income fee.
That's a rather flamebaity opinion, but you have a point.

It's like Mozilla are saying "We have centrally planned the number of carbon credits that may be spent by each technology, and determined that blockchains are a forbidden technology. We will therefore undermine any efforts of other people to implement standards where using blockchains is even a possibility."
Look, I'm not hostile towards the initiator or the language. I'm happy to give V a chance in the future.

But it started out with huge promises that could never be kept, and were tied to fund raising. This is why there was so much skepticism in the beginning, and why you are facing so much hostility now.

The way to change that is by professionalism and convincing arguments, benchmarks, showing how the promises are kept and responding to criticism in a good faith manner by providing technical explanations.

Not by responding with more hostility.

It's also perfectly fine for fans of the language to support it here, but there are many "content-free" posts in this submission that just hype up V with minimal value-add...

I personally don't see an ad-hominem in my post.

This is totally untrue and everybody knows that.
This is sort of out of scope of originalism: it concerns an Act of Congress that delivers power to the Executive, not the contents of the minds of the Framers of the Constitution. The Framers perhaps didn’t expect a large Federal Government to begin with, but the cat is out of the bag on that one (and is not consistent with SCOTUS’s actual ruling here).

The bill is clearly not intended to “shut down” anything. It empowers the EPA to protect the quality of the air that we all breathe, and that’s how it was applied. If coal power plants need to externalize their pollution to be financially viable, that says more about our failures to preempt the situation than some kind of bloodthirsty plot on the EPA’s part.
> Imperfect moderation is inevitable at the massive scale of social media companies.

If social media companies can't function well at that scale, what's the reason for having social media companies at that scale? We should set and enforce expectations, and when companies get to the scale where they can't meet those expectations, fine them until they "rightsize."

There are 0 false claims about language capabilities on the website or in the docs.

If you can link one, that'd be great, and it'll be fixed. I've spent a lot of time verifying all claims are valid.

For example there was the "functions are pure by default except IO" which caused lots of criticism and memes. I simply changed the wording to a more verbose but correct phrase. So we do admit shortcomings and not make up excuses "for each of them"

The government has a due process, if the government doesn't have a fair due process you change them until you have a fair due process. You change the governments by election and if that's not available by burning down their stuff.

My take is that it is a) X.509 re-born with different encoding (JSON-LD vs BER or PEM) and b) a scheme to promote use of certain blockchains for a purpose that blockchains don't suit well.
> To my knowledge, RV32E doesn't have a compressed instruction variant meaning every instruction is 32 bits long.

AIUI, the E variant is designed to work quite well with the standard compressed encoding. Of course implementing compressed instruction decode takes some area, too; there will be some crossover point at which the density benefits of compressed instructions will more than pay for the higher complexity of decode.

>I think it is likely that the Olympics will move to a permanent location

To a logical person this makes the most sense to host a sporting event like that.

But what you're not understanding is it's not a sporting event, it's a grift. And hosting it in one place doesn't benefit the Olympic committee at all. Why would you host something in one space and be responsible for it when you can have cities beg and throw money at you to host in their city then leave and make them deal with cleaning it up after.

I agree there have been a few GitHub actions issues. We've been getting errors with UppTime error due to GitHub actions failing

I am SHOCKED that Google wants to make money and does not care if they hurt people in the process! SHOCKED!

If google had to moderate YouTube in any meaningful way they would go broke, not only because of how much it would cost, but also because of the lawsuits.

There is a reason we have regulations in the United States. It is so things like YouTube never happen in the first place. If they were treated as publishers in the first place we would not be having had this problem.

YouTube is a broadcaster with millions of independent program directors. Until it is seen as such my the Feds nothing will change.

P.S.A.: Don't let your kids use YouTube.
The claims made in that blog post are easily verifiable. Your claim that all issues have been fixed was hard to believe, so I checked myself. The first two have indeed been fixed (these involve printing "nil" for a null pointer rather than crashing), but the third (undefined behavior on integer overflow) still reproduces. I didn't go through the rest of them, but expect a similar pattern.

I encourage people following the progress of the V language to look at actual facts rather than trying to evaluate claims based on the language of those claims. One of the reasons why V is so divisive is that a lot of untrue claims are being made (unusually so for a programming language), and people don't respond well to that being called out.

Yeah keep dreaming. I’d like to see you put a Waymo car or any other “self driving” car in a city that hasn’t been mapped and see how it does.

And The cars do not update maps in real time, they send any changes they find and the company updates the database after reviewing. If they were able to update in real time then why need a HD map in the first place?
But leopards can hunt far larger prey than humans.

From Wikipedia:

> The largest prey killed by a leopard was reportedly a male eland weighing 900 kg (2,000 lb).[92]

> It is able to take large prey due to its powerful jaw muscles, and is therefore strong enough to drag carcasses heavier than itself up into trees; an individual was seen to haul a young giraffe weighing nearly 125 kg (276 lb) up 5.7 m (18 ft 8 in) into a tree

Yeah I have the standalone tool and it's a must-have for electric work. While replacing some switches in my house I thought I had the right breaker (sidenote: those breaker-detector tools are like magic, much better than the "is the light still on?" method). The lights went out but when I jammed my tester in the gang box it started beeping. I ended up needing to flip off 2 breakers (took me a while to find the second one) before it finally stopped beeping. From that moment on I promised myself that no matter how "sure" I was, I would ALWAYS stick the tester in before reaching in, even if I hadn't touched the breaker box between working on a switch.

I've been bitten enough times in software alone by things I was "sure" about, I don't take any chances when it comes to electricity.

> It's disappointing how most of the articles and videos criticizing the dangerous content don't explain why exactly something is dangerous.

Which videos are you talking about in particular?

Both the Ann Reardon and the Big Clive video explains exactly what makes this experiment more dangerous than others people do.

The Big Clive one in particular goes into interesting details about how a ground fault circuit interrupter works, and why it doesn't protect you in this case.

> They just scream "omg high voltage" "one mistake you're dead" and so on.

The ones I have seen don't scream. They calmly explain that the voltage generated in this setup is much much higher than the voltage the average experimenter has experience with.

About the "one mistake you're dead". That is the crux of the matter. People should be aware of how thin the margins are, and how few guard rails protect them in any particular situation.

TBH, I have criticized V before, because when it launched things and claims were weird and maybe inflated, honestly don't quite remember looking at V in a good light is still hard for me.

But I am willing to give it a try, so here's a shot.
Can you pls, explain a few things in short really don't want to read all of the docs to figure out the basics.

1. What platforms are well supported by V and how does it work non traditional or extension based C code?

2. What happens for edge cases where the C compiler quirks are being used for code when you transpile C to V?

3. How safe is V really? Like is it memory safe, if so maybe a quick description as to how, does it provide a memory model? What about an ABI? does it match the platform C ABI or something?

4. What happens to linking to C code, is it as easy as Zig? maybe something like zig cc?

5. How is the multithreading in V? Does it have something like openmp atleast something like rayon or do we use platform threads?

6. What about the C++ interop? anything interesting more than what other languages can do?

7. What's the current state of the compiler in terms of stability? And especially the std lib?

8. Lastly anything you want to point out as a very interesting feature in V that is not hype but so comfy that I would like to atleast use V somewhere in my stack? Maybe something like Zig's cc or Nim's metaprogramming or Haskell's mind bending type system, Idris's dependent types, etc.?

Preferrably not like Rust's safety thing, I love Rust but just saying things like it's safer is very weird claim without any context. Just some details are fine no need to waste your time on making a hater change their mind.

Personally I am trying to keep open mind to things, I might be harsh because of ignorance or preference or just because of being a young douchey programmer but being mean to something that has stuck around, and where a bunch of people seem to be putting in effort somehow seems worse than just shitty on it, even if it's a scam.

Of three hives, one of mine survived winter (expected one, not two collapses).

But the third hive is THRIVING — I even fortuitously got to watch a full swarm, from start to finish (unable to capture in time), about a month ago.

Already have two full supers; about to add a third (for, in total, five I.mediums tall).

I started my MAQS (formic acid) treatment 60 days ago, and will do again when the dearth sets in (another few weeks where I live -- the "hot season").

They're flying strong and flying hard. In addition to varroa destructor, et. al; while watching the hive recently, I noticed my first "murder hornet" -- HUGE -- and laughed that my mother purchased me a Bug-A-Salt™ for just such a purpose/defense.

If you read the article, Reardon's video goes over exactly why fractal wood burning is dangerous. She doesn't go into extreme detail but I think it's enough for the layman to understand (i.e., you can get electrocuted easily, and a gfci won't save you). bigclivedotcom's video above also goes into why fractal wood burning is dangerous.

> I honestly think they are worse than the source; it reminds me of the medieval experimenters and alchemists being oppressed by the conformist public.

I can kind of see where you're coming from here but in this case I think the right thing has happened.
Yes! The fact that one of Ann Reardon's main interests is in debunking stupid/dangerous craft and cooking videos, and yet her video is the one getting taken down, is an important irony that seems lost on the author of the boingboing post, and many other commenters here.

My kids and I love watching her videos, especially for iron-stomach Dave eating whatever she cooks, and learning the occasional Australian slang ("<adjective> as" == "very <adjective>")

Why would the Second Amendment be interpreted in that way and the CAA not be allowed similar breadth in interpreting what is a pollutant? The latter is actually explicit in this regard; the former has been constructed through judicial interpretation.

The issue I have with some frozen veggies (peppers, onions, garlic, celery) is that the freezing process damages cell walls leading to a mushier result. They also tend to dissolve faster in longer cooking items like chili or red beans and rice. I'll use them in some dishes where it doesn't matter since it's a big time saver though.
And that's why I said "nobody thinks that", indeed.

Nonetheless, you seem to be fluent.

My post wasn't about this concrete issue, which can also be explained.

My point is about a civil discourse culture driven by (precise) technical arguments,not hostility or deflection. Which I am not seeing, which is why you only increase the skepticism here rather than change minds.

Unless the leak was actually unintended and is a bug.

But that's also fine, any language (old or new) has heaps of bugs in all corners of the codebase. But then just own up, explain and fix it.

Hey HN,

I made CSVFiddle because I wanted a quick way to query CSV files with SQL and share the results with other people.

The app runs 100% in-browser, so the data you import and the queries you write are never sent to a web server. When you share the URL to a workspace, all of its queries and references to CSV files are just encoded in the URL fragment.

In-browser querying is made possible by DuckDB-Wasm, which has been an awesome project to work with:

https://duckdb.org/2021/10/29/duckdb-wasm.html

There are definitely limitations with CSVFiddle (e.g. sometimes the auto-parsing feature doesn't accurately interpret the imported files), but so far it's been useful for a range of data tasks.

The second Iron Law of Bureaucracy states:

"In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals that the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely."

It seems that FB, err Meta, is going to advance the turn of the breaking wheel one rotation. They may be attempting, in good faith, to eliminate the flotsam and jetsam in the bureaucracy, but are more than likely to just eliminate those least connected to internal politics.

I would not be surprised if remote-only workers are the most affected, followed by the most 'heads-down' programmers.

It's interesting that these steps are occurring with the recent leaving of Sandberg and I wonder if there is any connection.
