I believe Crockford said in a talk [1] that he was going to stop writing loops when tail-call elimination is supported everywhere.

Also, avoiding the for loop in JS might be a good idea because of how easy it is to shoot yourself in the foot with "for (x in stuff) ..." creating a global variable (when you accidentally leave out "var").

[1] Probably this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFTOG895C7c
Sounds like a book review.
The README doesn't expand on what is probably the most challenging problem: how do you achieve effortless C++ interop without burdening Carbon with all the odd behaviour and memory safety / UB issues prevalent in C++?

In Rust for example, `unsafe {}` blocks are not just "local unsafety". They can freely operate on all memory, so they are infectious and are essentially a marker for "dangerous code below, be extra careful and audit lots".

But if all code can freely interoperate with C++, how do you improve upon C++, apart from relatively isolated features like a better generics system?

To what extend can a Carbon compiler that is deeply aware of C++ semantics mitigate the pitfalls?
Illustrating that design isn't always 7-sigma availability, There's a shopping mall parking garage near here that is essentially the river bank. When the river runs a high flood, the waters are intended to inundate a lot of parking spaces, to avoid overly-confining those waters. And it's deep enough that some of the parked cars float. Also this parking garage replaced a surface parking lot that was doing the same thing. The second level of the parking garage is not supposed to be inundated, so the garage is a lot taller than it would have been for the same capacity. One can see flood stains on the walls of the first level.

The alternative would have been to build levees to confine the waters to a channel, and hope the channel was deep enough.
I mean, if you don't like the slope of the line on county level (included in the article), the state level lines (click on the graph to get to the tableau) have a stronger slope. But overall, you're accusing the author of bias in cherry picking the data or you're doubting statistics because the data is significant but not eye poppingly so. Really, the weakest link is the title - searching for race war isn't an act of white nationalism all the time, and may be searched by both pro and anti factions to understand why it is trending.

Overall, I thought it was really cool to not just publish the data, but also present the graphics in a way you can confirm yourself.
Yep, it's a crazy hypothetical. It's perhaps a bad attempt to show that efficiency and GDP aren't the same thing. GDP is simply measuring transactions by end users.
> there is no "big boom" possible with gas/coal

There's no big boom possible with nuclear energy either.
From your link I learned that tarmac is short for tarmacadam, named after John Macadam, who is also the name-origin for macadamia nuts.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Macadam
In Germany, electricity from photovoltaic won’t replace gas for winter heating. That’s why nuclear is so crucial in Europe, where, unlike in US, photovoltaics are much less practical, due to weather and land use constraints.
> Is there any centralized place for all peer reviewed articles?

There isn't one, as far as I know, but supposedly one can turn to bona fide publications for peer-reviewed studies/reports etc; there are specialist journals about almost any science subject, however mainstream or niche.

However, the peer-review process is increasingly discredited/broken, according to articles such as this recent example [1] Peer review is frustrating and flawed – here’s how we can fix it.

It would also seem that many supposedly reputable journals often publish without due diligence, too. The site Retraction Watch [2] exists to draw attention to published papers subsequently having to be withdrawn. Reasons for retractions can be poor methodology, dubious authorship and lots more - which point to failings in the peer-review system.

Ask HN: Solo founder without an online presence?
I'm a solo founder of a company. I have never created a LinkedIn account for myself or the company for a number of reasons:

1. I value my privacy and data.

2. As a company with no employees, it doesn't make much sense to have a company page (other than "marketing" / "discoverablity" points).

My company is doing well (high six figures) and it has been running over five years now.

I have been asked once during a sales/demo call why I didn't have any online presence, LinkedIn, etc. Essentially, "How can my business trust you? I don't know anything about you..."

This got me thinking about starting a LinkedIn account solely for a "presence," but it feels wrong to me. How did other founders tackle this?
I think this depends on if you're a constructivist, no?
Aren't infinitudes accurate descriptors of any probability-based phenomenon? As far as I'm aware probability is not quantized.
Toronto is interesting in that it has to deal with a fairly extreme range of temperatures between summer and winter, in the UK the spread is much more narrow (or at least, it was).
I'm sorry, no, US corporations and people should not be held accountable to every foreign country's arbitrary laws, unless you want to set a precedent of legal action against the webservers of Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International for publishing information about the state of things in Xinjiang province or Uzbekistan freedom-of-press.

It seems like solutions fall in two broad categories:

* Easy to use with less than ideal privacy policies

* Cumbersome (or at least time-consuming) with OK privacy (in many cases this would be a self-hosted or local solution)

Is there anything out there that strikes a balance? Anything that's fun?
Thanks for the details. Will let you know what we find.
I use text to speech… it absolutely is a short cut and without and doubt it improves my reading comprehension, stamina, and speed..

I can even look away from the screen and still follow along.

It has changed my life and introduced me to so much more information that I would have otherwise not attained with manual reading.

Eye scanning and mental vocalization are really tiring on my brain. Text to speech has solved both of these problems.

I think there’s something about adding a new dimension (auditory) that also helps with memorizing and comprehension. It adds more data points for my Bayesian brain to use and associate with.
My school used chrome books and one of my classmates ((sixth form)last 2 years of high school for Americans) literally took it apart and reassembled it again to replace a certain part after it fried and he didn’t want to pay for another one, he found the chip code and bought it from Amazon. That guy is in uni for compsci now,
HTTP verbs are best understood as describing the style of interaction with the resource:

- GET/HEAD: read-only, cacheable
- POST: side-effects, can be repeated, but not idempotent
- DELETE: destructive side-effects, idempotent, no real response
- PUT: creative side-effects, idempotent, can return the new resource
As well as making concrete runways the best thing the UK government could do is adopt a "war footing" where it comes to climate change.

I use the term war footing because the impact of climate change is going to be on the order of a major war. And also because the response required for the decarbonisation required is going to be a significant portion of GDP.

Or they could keep their heads in the sand.
StaxRip has a selection of AV1 encoders available, and Handbrake Nightly recently added one (I think svt-av1?).
I think it's a matter of alternatives. Sure I can do all that, or I can drive down the road to a sports bar and pay a normal price for everything and watch the game and be back home in 15 minutes.

You have to get with the times and eliminate all that. Sell a VR package where I can watch the game as though I am sitting behind first base. Bonus if my buddy across the country can sit next to me and we can chat.

They're trying to continue to make money in a world with locality rules and limited space, and we are increasingly entering one where your location doesn't matter. Covid just pushed this agenda a little harder than it was naturally playing out.

Unless you consider the radical and sometimes dubious nature of dogmatic politics (left and right) to be a mental hazard worth avoiding.

I wonder if theres a way to temper a user, such that you expose them to more vitriolic bullshit on either side with some survey based feedback, and pull back again to allow for recovery, you go to and fro until you filter some undesirable components, idk maybe you have this pseudo-personality profile you target or you just want to minimise usage of a set of biases and you include lessons alongside it.

Remember that time in Texas all our infrastructure shutdown because it got cold here?

Next, you seem to be completely clueless on aggregate mixes, your mix will be a balance of rock and tar meant to survive a temperature range. Texas mixes will be more aggregate. The problem is this make it less flexible in cold weather and it would degrade far faster. So great you'd design a runway to survive Texas heat that occurs once every few decades versus the cold winters that happen every year.
So if pricing was perfect the world would be zero sum?
> hauling yards of soil or towing boats

I'm not defending the number of pickups on the road in America but this is an out of touch comment. Some common uses of pickup beds include:

* Hauling motorcycles and ATVs including snowmobiles.

* Carrying campers.

* Carrying home improvement projects such as bags of soil, plants, and raw material such as 8'x2"x4" lumber or 4'x8' plywood. At least in the 2000s a 4x8 sheet of plywood will not fit in a compact pickup but lays flat in a fullsize.

Some common uses of pickups include:

* Towing pull-behind RVs or fifth-wheels.

* Towing boats.

* Camping with the family.

A lot of modern pickups seem to include some kind of bed cover that makes them well suited to mundane tasks like hauling groceries as well.

All of that suggests to me that pickup manufacturers do in fact know their customers.

> 2 Seats + 6 Foot bed seems like a winning combination in practicality, but is quite rare in the US.

Because it's too small to be useful. You can't fit a sheet of plywood in that easily. You might be able to get a small motorcycle in there with some wrangling, but maybe not. 2 seats means you can't carry the whole family, so now you need a second car if you have kids, or friends. And if you actually do use the truck for weekend activity like hauling boats or an RV then you need to drive both cars.

The fact is the fullsize truck actually does work for American consumers. That's why people buy them. And why manufacturers make them.

All of this totally ignores the hundreds of thousands of "work trucks" that are being fully loaded every day. Landscapers, farmers, contractors, etc all rely on the pickup form factor for obvious reasons. And looking around those are often used trucks, including the high trim level luxury versions from a previous generation.
several people here arguing that data collection by CN via TT is worse than by US via FB b/c CN is totalitarian. but wouldn't I as a privacy conscious person prefer my data to be collected rather by a foreign agency not cooperating with the domestic agencies? or to put it bluntly - why would I as a German care about what China knows about me?
Never is a strong word, considering science publishing in the current form is barely a century old.
Can C++ be machine-translated to Carbon? That would be useful.

Translating C++ to Rust is too hard - the underlying data models are too different. What would be really useful would be something that intelligently translates pointer-based C++ code into a slice-based language. Every place there's an unsized array, something has to figure out how big it is and pass that info around. In the original program, that information had to be present in some form. The trick is finding it.
That's probably not out of reach for a static analyzer today. Especially if machine learning is used to help find the usual idioms of C/C++. First find, then check.
Interestingly, in 1960 there were 16 MLB teams that played 154 regular season games for a total of 1232 games that year, compared to 30 MLB teams playing 162 games for 2430 total games (almost double!) a year today. I imagine other sports have seen a similar trend as well.

The good question is how to hire people that will care, and whether or not it can be incorporated into a culture.
How are libertarians "right-wing"? Some libertarians could be described as extreme "left-wing" depending on being social or economic libertarians. I think it is better to not have such a simple dichotomy of "left" vs "right". People have political beliefs, those beliefs can be very complex, and the consistency of the beliefs depends largely on the perspective of the person. Having a simple "two sides" lined up against each other is overly simplistic and has lead to people being shoehorned into "us vs them" and feeling pressured to adopt the beliefs of the group they are closest to, which results in less diversity of political beliefs. I don't think even a circle of beliefs is enough, the degrees of freedom in political beliefs is enormous, which literally encompasses most of the things people believe about the world. It can't really be boiled down to a spectrum of two sides.
Calmly explain to designers, that their purpose is to serve the developers' needs and they should refrain from bombastic designs and focus on technical feasibility.
I was a bit disappointed to see yet another authentication service advertised. I'm still looking for a reasonable open source (or SaaS) framework for managing workflow / action assignment & tracking.

Yes, you can have a vector of, say, naturals. I'm pretty sure you can even create a vector field out of vectors of non-reals.

> They don't explain that though

They don't use your term so why would they explain the difference?

> usually the terms are used interchangeably when you're talking about a macroeconomic sense.

This is the first time I'm looking into this but I'm pretty sure you're just making that up. Google shows many sources disagreeing with you, most of which cite definitions created by the US census bureau. https://www.economy.com/support/blog/buffet.aspx?did=932EBFA...
Insofar as my actual approach is persuading using the experience of actual people rather than philosophical arguments, yes I've had success with that. It probably won't work with the people here, but the people here are very peculiar. What you see here on HN is not my attempt to persuade internet people. Does that ever work?
> It's bizarre that this can happen at the same time as widespread staff shortages are being reported in some sectors

No. It's exactly the same condition, but people are telling the story from different points of view.

Workers aren't getting paid any more, and with inflation, it's effectively a lot less.

Companies who scoop up cash via inflation just can't find workers who want to work for what the companies are willing to pay.

This is the result of neoliberal policies leading to a return of robber barons.

This is what the last 30 years have been

Only they haven't.

The reason the US and Russia haven't run rampant the last 30 years is because the US and Russia can blow each other away. So Russia satisfies itself with Georgia and now Ukraine. And the US satisfies itself with those nations in the MidEast region. Remove Russia, and the US would have been all over the yard. Remove the US, and Russia would have been all over the yard.

And now with the rise of China, mankind is even safer. Not only that, but more of mankind have begun to enjoy the benefits of safety. The US and Russia were perfectly willing to fight a proxy war in Korea 70 years ago. They wouldn't dare do that today. Why? The Chinese presence in any MAD calculations.

Today Africa is much safer, it is developing much faster. A large part of the reason for that is the presence of China. Now instead of proxy wars, the great powers compete to see who can deliver Africa the most undersea bandwidth for instance. This is a much better situation for Africans than the situation that existed when only the US and Russia were superpowers. And this situation exists because of MAD. It proves that an armed society is a polite society.

The US, China and Russia are all fulfilling their responsibility to keep the peace by maintaining lethal arsenals of weapons of mass destruction so that they are each confident in their own ability to destroy the others. And that is good for all of us "little people" in the world. Whether we are American, Chinese or Russian. (And even good for us if we are Korean, African, or from South America.)

Can you clarify how night cloud cover factors in? Do clouds really substantially reduce the radiative cooling capacity? Is that by functionally reflecting radiation back at the source (the earth)?

Being a Disney aficionado, I have to note: the price in the 60s was only to get in the park. You had to buy separate tickets for each attraction once you were in (either ala-carte or in a book that came with several categories for $3-4). They moved to the current model (one ticket all attractions as long as you are willing to wait in line) in the 80s when EPCOT opened in Florida.

With inflation it's still higher today (especially if you stay at a hotel), but not as much as the article makes it out to be.

No, the constructed number (P1 * P2 * ... * PN) + 1 either is prime or has a prime factor greater than PN.
