The western order of liberal democracy is dying. Former colonies that simply adopted their colonial rulers’ democratic systems are now slowly but surely building systems that are more in line with native ideologies. Many of these ideologies are regressive and illiberal.

That isn’t to say that they are wrong to do so - a people should have the right to build a nation as per their values. But it does mean that a lot of values borrowed from liberal democracy - freedom, equality, rule of law, tolerance, etc. - will die out.

Majoritarianism in many of these countries will give way to authoritarianism. And that’s usually the road leading to strife, war, and persecution of minorities.
Any SDL tutorial out there, I guess?

There are kinds of games where simply having a input handling function, logic tick function and draw function executed in a big loop is pretty much all you need, and I assume that's what GP is talking about. I like to write games this way on game jams and it serves me well.

OTOH, there are also kinds of games that I simply wouldn't dare to write this way without figuring a solid abstraction out first, and things like ECS can often fit pretty well for that.

We're witnessing the collapse of quite a few countries at the moment. Sri Lanka is the big one. Pakistan seemed to have gotten pretty close to serious financial issues. Somalia has a war-related food crisis. I don't worry so much about collapse for Ukraine but there are a lot of people displaced. There's going to be refugee crises on top of refugee crises soon, and it's a challenge that neither north america or europe is able to accommodate.

We really really should have used that almost 15 year financial boom to invest in desalination tech and vertical farming, I believe we could have made some incredible breakthroughs that would significantly reduce the amount of world hunger we're about to see.
It's ironic you say that because as someone who arguably fits in the category he's talking about (see: my bleeding heart comments about Unity's for-profit asset store from yesterday) it feels somewhere between belittling and insulting for people to act like grown adults would really miss what his point was.

There seems to be this "rainman-esque" infantilization of people who put craft before profit that I truly deeply hate. He spoke like he was having a frank, open, conversation. That relies on everyone involved being somewhat mature and not jumping to the worst possible interpretation of everything.

But I don't know, maybe people are right to treat "the creatives" with the kiddie gloves based on the reaction I've seen.
I do have an air conditioner (well, an air-source heat pump), but it doesn't adequately remove enough moisture before the indoors gets too cold. It's possible this is not properly sized, but I cannot change it because I rent.

In my case I did some tests, and the additional power usage of the dehumidifier is way more than offset by the power savings I realize by running the air conditioner less frequently. This only works because the dehumidifier enables me to be comfortable at a higher indoor temperature.
I've worked with clients in the past who have never seen my face in video. Had years long relationships with some of them without ever having seen each other on webcam, and it worked out great on both of our ends.
So build a covered test road for your initial trials - then unleash them on real road situations. I'd be much more ready to trust a self-driving car that was born and raised on Boston streets than one in the wide, luxurious and pristine SoCal streets.

I'm not saying you need to teach your kid to swim by throwing them into the sea with weights tied around their ankles - you can ramp up to that... but you need to start exposing things to real world conditions pretty early on in development lest something, like a LIDAR censor close to the road surface in the front of the car, force you into a huge redesign when you discover that sheets of slush and road salt will liberally coat every front-facing surface of your vehicle driving in Boston in the winter.
Just tested this between my MacBook Pro (Max with 64GB RAM) and my main workstation, GodBoxV3 (Dual 20 Core Xeon, 256GB RAM, and lots of SSD/NVMe storage). The MacBook has a 10GbE link and GodBoxV3 has 2x10GbE Links... Tried sending a file from the Mac to GodBoxV3 and it didn't top out at more than 40MB/s. The Windows client also crashed about halfway through. Mind you, when I restarted it, it did recover the transfer. Going the other direction, I seem to be getting around the same kind of speed. One thing I want to test is whether it works over a VPN. Interesting concept and easy to use. lets see if it can get even better.

is true because if it was true, Berkeley feminists with humanities degrees wouldn't want to admit that, and they find those people annoying, therefore the option that makes you go "well we just have to face the facts" must be the case.

Of course, the first part of the sentence doesn't imply half the things they think it does, certainly doesn't imply the second, and even then the implications "…and it must be genetic" "…and there's nothing we can do about it" "…and that's why we're more virtuous than those other people" would not necessarily be true.

(Genetics, like social sciences, doesn't produce reliable results because it uses observation studies and hasn't heard of the credibility revolution thing yet. Intervention studies are either beyond our capabilities or would be unethical to do.)

I think this requires a totally different approach to programming. The spec/proof/code cycle exists rarely in the real world. The AI generated code has the disadvantage of being trained on imperfect code, without having any context, so it's like an enthusiastic, very junior copy pasta coder.
The lack of shared definition is the thing.
All these "small lisps / lisp-in-go / lisp-to-xyz" are great and I do applaud the exercise and what is produced, and I also appreciate many of of these projects are for learning or fun projects.

BUT if by chance you or your project is one of the more "serious lisps or next-lisp-vibes" hear his:

Before you even think about speed or benchmarks(size,spec,speed,lang) remember we live in a connected world that is multi-core.

First prize for your home-brew lisp that would make me sit up and take notice is if it has very easy net-libraries built-in (http (client + server), websocket, sse, json etc) I think that is one of the things Go(yes I know not every like it, but the real world usage is real) got right, the std lib was very "modern" at least to the point of real-world usability. Multicore is a close second prize :)

Network-libs (stupid easy ones) and the concurrency concepts is the very first thing I look for in a lang or lisp-derivatives

My 2cents :)
NB: Post author

So we thought about doing something like that with multinode where each of the nodes would maintain their own materialization but abandoned it for that very reason it’s very, very difficult to maintain any sort of consistency guarantees in that case, or even to reason about it.

Instead we use the access nodes as coordinators to do the materialization. right now the materialization only exists on the access node but there’s no reason we couldn’t send it back out to the data nodes, you just need a coordination point to start a distributed transaction to have some semblance of a guarantee.

What makes me optimistic - There's time and space to get this right

This is the same answer I used in the other thread - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32101753

--- Common text begins ---

As a civilization, we're like a trust fund kid, blowing through our inheritance in a wild spending spree. The wealth? A planetwide pool of stored sunlight in the form of fossil fuels.

We're so used to this wealth, we can't even contemplate what would happen if the balance ran down to zero. Our entire civilization is blind to the nature of our energy sources, and their use in making all of the things we use on a daily basis, including our food.

It's so entrenched, that I struggle to think of a metaphor to use that will get past the default stance here of "yeah, but your example is wrong because"

The amount of Energy Returned On Investment (EROI) used to be 100:1 prior to WWII in the US, we're now down to 15:1. The last civilization wide kicking of the can down the road has already happened

We're fracking the source rocks that would otherwise lead to conventional oil in millions of years. These wells decline at 40% per year. Once we stop drilling them, because the EROI gets too low, there's no new oil left.

We need to take advantage of this second chance, to wake up, and figure out better sources of energy and a way of making them work. The days of an always on grid with a constant fixed price of electricity, regardless of time of day, weather, etc.. are at an end.

We've got a generation to do this, I'd rather we make use of the wealth we have, rather than see it all burned up, and watching billions die in "The Great Simplification" that results as we no longer have the energy to burn to keep everyone not involved in farming fed.

If we gather a community of purpose, who all acknowledge the situation, and work to fix it, we can have an amazing future, instead of collapse.

Crypto isn’t going to die until human greed dies.

VCs are pouring money into this space. Do they care about adoption? Nope. They know that this largely unregulated, liquidity challenged space that’s too technically complex for the average rube is the perfect ground to make wild, wild returns.

Unless something changes drastically on the regulation front, the story will repeat itself. VCs and early adopters will buy tokens in the “ice age”.

Come next cycle, the media will start hyping up crypto again, bringing the retail rubes pouring in. And then the VCs and early adopters will walk away with their 50x returns, leaving retail with the bags
Man, not putting Fully Qualified Domain Names in code has been such a recurring source of pain in my software life. You make so many assumptions about the way people parse domain names and all of them are wrong. Vendors do all kinds of things to "simplify" their workflows internally and sometimes they just parse URLs and domains in all kinds of ways that break your brain.

Reminds me so much of the way "smart" telecom engineers bastardized SS7 to ship new features onto legacy telco infrastructure. SS7 is like 20M lines of C. You can't really change it without breaking it in many other places, AT&T used to have a metric which was something like "for every 10 lines of code you alter in SS7, you create 8 bugs in other parts of the code." So "smart" telecom engineers would take existing fields in the SS7 logic and use them for different functions inside of their telco. A billing field could instead be used as a feature flag for some sort of customer state, but only inside of the telco's network (and re-written back to the compliant SS7 standard when the data was headed out of the network). This was called encapsulation and wrapping and un-wrapping packets just in time was the source of many many problems in my telecom life.

Just in time editing of network packets at the boundary is always fun. Most of the problems that would happen would come from forgetting to rewrite back to SS7 and transmitting the internal codes out.

From an ecological point of view it really depends how much carbon is emitted during manufacturing & transport.

Landfills aren’t actually that bad when it comes to getting rid of waste. If you expend more carbon using the “eco-friendly” straws than using the normal ones then it’s not worth it overall.

As someone who has a mortgage and children to feed ... Unity acquiring an ad company is encouraging. For years now Unity seemed to be lost and directionless; having them merge with an ad company shows that they're serious about focusing on creating a product that will help developers turn a profit.

But you won't hear many "indie" developers say as much, because making money is uncool.

That said, IronSource is sketchy as hell. I'm more concerned about _who_ they merged with then that it was an ad company.

There a lots of startups who execute reasonably well against a crappy idea.

Bad ideas are cheap. I'd argue that good ideas are rare and usually expensive - they come from a deep understanding of a confluence of things.
This makes sense to me; graphs made of JavaScript objects are not going to be as fast as C, although I think knowledge of how the JIT works can still help you get a lot closer than 10x (e.g. ensuring everything is monomorphic). Now if you implemented a b-tree completely inside of a typed array, instead of using JavaScript objects as the nodes, that would be how you would approach C speeds. But if you need a lot of custom data structures, WASM is probably a better choice at that point.
My point is that your continuing assertions that an unvaccinated infection must result in higher levels of spike protein exposure than Covid-shots-plus-the-eventual-infection-you'll-still-get-anyway is not really backed up by anything. It's just an assumption you are making. Beyond that, naive comparison of the levels involved may not fully capture the level of clinical risk: maybe the mRNA causes higher levels of spike detached from an intact virus, or maybe it causes it to spread to parts of the body which an infection doesn't.

The ideal here would be to have a randomized control group which could be compared to various different vaccination profiles on an ongoing basis to assess overall risk and outcomes on a population levels, but that's impossible because all the control groups were promptly vaccinated the second EUAs were granted.

Age stratification is an important consideration. A 12 year old comorbidity-free male's risk of a cytokine storm from a COVID infection is effectively nil, but his risk from the COVID vaccines (which many have been required to take to participate in school activities) is substantial.

They tried to create coronavirus vaccines for 50 years and failed terribly. So far it seems to have been a good bet that all those issues were not magically solved in 9 months of "Operation Warp Speed."

> If you don't like mRNA vaccines, there are a number of alternatives using different mechanisms to deliver material to train the immune response.

Yes, one such alternative, which is perfectly safe for a large proportion of the population, is natural SARS-CoV-2 infection.

If you told execs with 100% certainty that a problem would kill a company 10 years from now, many wouldn't care, even if they totally believed you.

Most execs don't see themselves at that company in 10 years time, so that type of problem just doesn't register for them.
International transfers might be different but for domestic transfers, most countries outside of the west have very robust systems already. India’s UPI puts any crypto alternative to shame with the speed, transaction volume, fees and ease of use.

Sending someone USDC for international payments is admittedly much easier, but you’re likely going to run into expensive regulation on that front since it carries too much money laundering risk

Nuclear weapons will 100% be used again. All it takes is one sociopathic dictator who thinks everyone else is weak, and we know that the power is a magnet for sociopaths and any country can be turned into dictatorship within a decade give or take. Putin of today or another dictator of tomorrow, does not matter. It does not even matter which country is going to pull the trigger, the invasion of Ukraine has started the race to acquire nuclear weapons and all countries have to participate or perish.
