A wise old co-worker once told me: "The secret to happiness in life is bad taste." He logic being that if you only expect the best, you will be disappointed most of the time and to learn to like the mediocre (or lower). Rather stoic in nature but applies to "snobs" as most people associate food/wine/coffee/booze snobs as always complaining about things not being correct.
When it comes to building up the winning countries infrastructure in support of hosting the games, it always, always is about ultimately feeding that money into the pockets of the rich and the connected. It doesn't matter whether the country is first world or third world, the same people are the winners every single time and the poor, the losers. The olympics are the world's largest and longest running Ponzi scheme.
The story goes around a bit different, first of all, Web Objects was fully migrated to Java, and the last big user of it was the iTunes store.

Secondly, the main reason for the Cocoa bridge was not to force developers to use Java, rather they were uncertain that a community grown in Object Pascal and C++, would be happy to jump into Objective-C and its syntax full of [] and @.

When they saw that Objective-C wasn't having any adoption blockers, they dropped Cocoa Bridge.
I checked with valgrind too and see similar memory leaks. Is v compiler written in vlang yet? I see lot of warnings and leaks for the compiler.

Exactly. A rogue moderator might make the wrong call on a video, but unlike an algorithm that call won't affect hundreds of videos at once. And also unlike an algorithm the moderator might be a different person the next day. So mistakes are not magnified the way they are with an algorithm.

From the article, emphasis mine:

> “I’m working hard with my team to have something that is common sense, something that is legally sustainable because of course there’s challenges when we get sued every day of the week,” Hochul said. “But I want to make sure that we’ve done everything we can to protect the citizens of this state.”

> She added: “I will go right up to the line, I will not cross the line, but I know that we can do whatever we can to protect New Yorkers.”

> Lawmakers, however, didn’t see the specific language of the bill when they arrived in Albany, and they were expected to work through the night to pass the bill when it lands on their desks.

It takes multiple years for a court challenge to make its way to the SCOTUS but they can't even spend a day debating the merits of whatever changes to gun laws they want to impose, let alone debating whether it will be thrown out for again violating the Constitution.

I really think it's an intentional strategy. They know the laws they are proposing or passing are not constitutional, but they simply don't care because the entire time that it has to work it's way through the courts to challenge these laws is considered a "win". Like the law from less than a month ago that raised the age to purchase a semi-automatic rifle in NY to 21: https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/hochul-set-to-sign-ny-...

That's clearly in violation of the Constitution and a similar law in CA was recently (two months ago) throw out by the relatively liberal 9th circuit: https://www.npr.org/2022/05/11/1098432386/california-21-gun-...

But again, they don't care. To quote the governor of neighboring NJ, Phil Murphy, (talking about COVID lockdowns but the logic remains the same): "I Wasn’t Thinking of the Bill of Rights When We Did This".
These aren't exclusive. If you're going to write a "just in case" document supplementary to your will, it can have whatever useful things certain people will need to know AND whatever interesting works you want them to remember you by.

Yeah that was my idea initially when I designed the language.

I don't think any other language has them merged.

There were issues later with the 3 states (Ok, Error, none) instead of a simple binary state.

Since the `or {}` block handles the "not Ok", developers had to check whether it was an Error or a `none`, it's not pretty.
I'm not even sure where I can buy low-potency stuff. Looking online, the lowest at the dispensary where I bought the first thing is around 14%. Sixties THC concentrations were reported to be around 3%. What I'd really like to do is to try 1%, increase to 2%, etc., until I find something that works for me.

Yeah, I know thirty minutes is too long between hits, but I was trying to be as conservative as possible about it. That's why I'm kind of upset that, even being as careful as I was, I still ended up freaking out.

I can't think of anyone I'd feel comfortable smoking with. My wife was sober the entire time, thankfully, and helped a lot. She tried to guide me out of the negativity, but I ended up just feeling like I was too afraid to tell her she wasn't really helping. I did read about the sugar thing beforehand, but in the moment, eating was the last thing I was thinking about. A glass of juice might have helped, in hindsight.
Moderation is very complicated especially since it can be subjective based on the background and skill level of who is watching the video. Would it be possible to crowd source this? For example, I could add a filter to my search saying exclude 'profanity' and videos with profanity would be removed. Or exclude videos that are 'dangerous' or 'for entertainment only' and those would be removed. My thought is that we should use the shear numbers of persons watching the videos to our advantage. Honestly, I sort of do this by looking at the comments since many times you can gather the flavor of the video based on the comments. This could also be used to political bias. Videos with a right-wing leaning would get tagged as leaning right and vice-versa. Also, content creators would be incentivized to accurately tag their videos and perhaps the algorithm could penalize content creators with discrepant self-tag versus what viewers tag as.
When I was 10 or 11 on a camping trip I watched an adult make sopaipillas, on a propane camp stove no less. So the morning after I get home I get up at 6AM and try to recreate the recipe from memory. My mom is a bit a of health nut, so for flour I used the whole-wheat we had available and instead of a frying oil I used olive oil. I turned on the gas stove and smoked the entire 2000sqft two story house out with a grease and burning dough fire.

Even if a video I could watch online was available in the 1990s, the recipe would still fail no matter how safe the instructions were because I misunderstood the base concepts. My mom taught me safety in the kitchen afterwards.
I don't think any country has transformed from our natural dirt poor state to modern industrial prosperity in an evenly distributed way.
So... you want to take the strain of covid which is almost harmless, and cut it's path of propagation? Which will give advantage to every other strain, which could start propagating instead when the reproductive number of Omicron is vastly decreased with vaccination. And that strain can (randomly, because it has no connection to it's infectiveness) turn out a lot more dangerous... I don't see why anyone would want to do that.

Unless the vaccine is specifically designed to make the virus even more harmless but NOT impede it's propagation, but as i see in the article they plan precisely opposite.

Bad, bad idea. It will backfire terribly. Much worse than doing nothing at all. If it happens, our only hope is Pfizer's covid pill.

This reminds me of my young days when I happened to visit my grandpa's house during summer vacation. I had a habit of going for long walks during the cool evenings/early nights - one of those teenage things. On this particular night, I walked farther than usual and came upon a clearing next to the bank of the local river - it was a small river next to the tea gardens. This being a small town very long ago had next to no light pollution - the sky was FULL of stars. Just so many stars. As I walked ahead, I heard the sound of kirtan[0] coming from a hut nearby. I walked over and it was mainly working class folks gathered around few kerosene lamps singing. Just the chorus of simple folks singing devotional songs accompanied by a khol[1]. When I reached them, they continued their singing and just shifted to make space for me to sit - my arrival was as normal to them as the cool breeze blowing through the grass. I listened to the songs mixing with the night under countless stars, not sure for how long, and then quietly left, just like I had arrived.

Most people? What?

You're entitled to any perception of reality that you want, but I find it hard to believe that anybody can genuinely perceive ancaps to be the prevailing economic opinion here.
Not from the company but we do something similar with opentelemetry. It’s true, because you pay for the total allocation of CPU/memory on Fargate, so you can add a sidecar container into that total allocation with a small deduction from the amount left available to the app itself.
E.g.
Before: 512MB for task, 512MB available for the application
After: 512MB for task, 412MB available for the application, 100MB available for sidecar

This seems to be the dominant opinion is here, that is, to approach this problem as we approached civil aviation and flying commercial planes.

To respond in a sentence: first, you have no proof that "investing in infrastructure" would actually yield working autonomous cars. Second, there are no proof either that the current approaches are doomed to fail.

To respond in details: everything that you propose doesn't seem to be able to solve the main challenges that self-driving cars are facing. These challenges are all about edge-cases, and responding safely to changing conditions and misbehaviors from other agents.
The response cannot be "let's add a ton of fragile electronics in all of the infrastructure" because this: will cost a ton of money to build and maintain, will break in weird ways over time and lead to cascading failures, and most importantly: it's dubious that it would even work at all.

The final comment about VCs is weird: a lot of actors in this field are not VC backed startups.

My opinion is: Tesla might have a working model that outperform human drivers in 10 years (50% confidence)

Anecdotes: When I was young, we would have to pull over to wash the bugs off the window at times during long trips. In my adult life that had never been an issue, except during lockdown when it seemed all wildlife had a resurgence.

I have to wonder if the lack of car travel just allowed the already existing animals to wander further into town, but birds made a big recovery. There are types of birds I jad never seen before now in flocks around the city. I hope they can survive now that it is busy again.

Conceptually, those solutions that you’ve worked with are about account principals and access management. When you deployed a smartcard, the human identity of the person you were assigning an account principal to was established offline, ultimately linked to proof of birth and residence.

Typically your company will validate those credentials to some level for employees. At a minimum, you establish what you need to know for payroll, in other cases you do extensive background investigations. For the public, however, we’re stuck with rudimentary solutions for ID verification (bank/credit accounts, mailing letters, etc) or unreliable and invasive solutions like ID.me.

The idea of things like DID and sovereign identity is that the human has agency and can provide or not provide credentials to establish who they are. That could include a verifiable, signed representation of your birth certificate, a professional license or some other credential. Think of it as a new iteration of 90s “web of trust” concepts.
The legislature already decides the rules through the traditional legislative process. If the legislature alone decides the rules without judicial or executive checks it can engineer whatever result it wants. We don't let congress do whatever it wants just because the federal constitution has "vague principles" that courts try to hold them to, it shouldn't be any different for states and state elections.
This is why I’ve avoided concentrates. I’ve tried (and enjoyed) them all, but I was already concerned that my tolerance to plain old weed was too high. I knew if I got too into wax and shatter, I’d end up chasing the dragon (or at least the weed version of that) and potentially worse (i.e. cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome).

Concentrates are something I treat myself to just a few times a year. Everything in moderation… including the occasional excess.
The Peer-to-Peer Network Re-Decentralizing the Internet
It has been written in V from the start (the first public release).

V doesn't free memory when building V for performance reasons.

A compiler is a perfect example of an app where freeing memory is totally fine on exit, by the OS.

Fortunately V is efficient and doesn't result in gigabytes of RAM used when compiling large bases of code (V itself is about 110k loc + 100k of vlib).

Once there are code bases that require gigabytes of RAM, we'll add an option to free it as it goes.

> You just need to know where to look. My belief is that the best place to look is crypto and web 3.

I've been around the web2 emergence and seen the meetups/evening/weekend reunions around the excitement. It felt and looked like toys, and the tech was dead easy to comprehend and extend at the time.

Neither crypto or web3 seem to fit in this picture though (overly complex to explain, to implement, no fun factor, and obnoxious people promoting it).

On the other hand, Dall-e kind of AI tools (recreation from textual prompts and/or visual/audio hints) do fit: progress is apparent, people play with it for fun and discovery.

Ad-blocking and privacy techs, also, are still in a toy-like/diy stage but seem to become more crucial.

Human-scale centered stuff (better housing, cities, transporation, care, slow-everything, energy-effiency, etc.) also seem to be in the toy-becoming-crucial stage.

Slightly off-topic but this whole thing made me curious.

I keep seeing V being "attacked" by various people with these kind of blogposts (or even HN accounts dedicated to criticizing V), with broad range of claims or counter-claims to what V wants to achieve.

While this is maybe not completely absent when other new languages comes up (like Golang or Rust), it feels like V really brings out the people to come up with ways of criticizing it.

Do you have any ideas about why or how come? Have you noticed anything in particular that makes people want to (almost) aggressively "prove" V to be wrong?

Basically, do you have any guesses to why V seems to have more "enemies" out there, compared to lets say Rust or Go?
I dont know what they did in the uni, I thought it was some wielding or power delivery (CPU and GPUs nowadays deal with 200A+)... So I honestly thought it was high amps, all of them are proper fire hazard.

But you are right, likely it was high voltage.
Those economics probably apply to some level, but the difference is more about the grade/quality of produce that can be hidden in a freezer bag of processed chunks vs what consumers expect to see in a grocers bin of fresh veggies.

Ugly cheap bulk and semi-failed crops can go to processing and more carefully/successfully produced stuff goes to various grocers.

In the US at least, you’ll also see differences in grade depending on the demographic of the grocery store. Community markets will sell cheaper produce that’s maybe softer, less ripe, more bruised, or just kind ugly and bougie markets will sell pretty veggies at higher price+margin.

You do not engage with criticism in good faith. This is a reoccurring problem in all your threads. This is why you get down voted and flagged. It's not a conspiracy against V, it is your own behavior.
I'm not sure where you're getting those numbers from. The vape shop near me sells nicotine salts in 25mg/ml to 50mg/ml ranges, which roughly translates to 2.5% and 5% strength. I've never seen something so low as 5mg/ml.

Central bank digital currencies are simply a Blockchain version of fiat and comes with the same list of problems - centralized issuance (ie infinite printing), but much worse eg. Govt adding code to control how you spend - which can help control spending during inflationary times and absolutely kills any notion of a free market. What the govt wants isn't always what happens especially in the west.

The regulations were about how to stop things OTHER than CO2 from polluting the atmosphere without destroying the US economy. Things like Sulfur Dioxide and fly ash.

CO2 may fall under the language as written, and it may be appropriate for the EPA to regulate it, but that was not the central example of an airborne pollutant back in the 70s when this was written (Or 90s, when it was amended).
At the time I calculated that if all the money spent on the 2012 Olympics (supposedly to inspire a nation's children to love sport) was instead given as endowments, then every single secondary school in England would receive something like £150,000 a year extra in their budget to spend on sport - in perpetuity.
