If you just want something "unlike JS" it should be pretty easy to figure out which languages are in demand and pick the one (or two) that most appeal to you.

If you're particularly into obscure languages, I suggest getting involved with the language community (meetups, open-source projects, etc) because for the less-popular languages the community and the employers have a lot of overlap.
Yes, but also, mixing together different articles on the Internet by different authors results in a complicated mixture of truth and fiction. What you get back depends on the query and some amount of randomness (depending on settings).

By not mixing the articles together, a search engine lets you see where the information came from.

These are both useful things to do, but one is more useful for fiction and the other for nonfiction.

I'm not sure "interpolation" is the right word, though, for these mixtures. Transformer output seems more creative than that.
There was a study shared here, a while ago, that found total nutritional content remained the same while total yields increased. In other words, all the efforts to increase yield have, so far, only increased the water content of the produce. Our vegetables, today, are fatter, but less nutritious. I expect this development will be similar.
Window will continue to dominate the market as most industries uses MS Office. Also, only tech companies can afford MacBooks for every employee. Every other job can only afford PCs. Even getting a $1.5K “CAD workstation laptop” that weighed 15 lbs and 0.5” thick was a struggle. Let alone a $4K 16” MBP.
> Apples and Oranges compared to what the editors in Unity/Unreal/Godot do.

That's because integration allows them to do more :) I'm in the process of writing a game in bevy (rust game engine without editor). And most of the time so far I've spent integrating Tiled with it :)
Damage reduction is short... But you're long.... With the extra inch and all... Viagra was a heart drug.. You're a nympho rapist with money that pays the developers while we hung your extinction
> Any good company won't care what programming language you are specifically proficient in

True, but most companies care more about using popular language rather than an innovative one. You might get hired but you won't be using Nim at work.
Google can also return "People also asked" results that make so sense or give incorrect answers. Sometimes they even contradict the cited article.

E.g

Ask "is pi disjunctive" and you'll get the top result of

> = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... is a disjunctive number.

But if you click into the article (what percentage even will?) you'll find it's part of a larger statement:

> It is not known whether π
= 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... is a disjunctive number.
> where NULL isn't on address 0

Isn't there literally a single GPU for which it is true?

Asking because everytime this surfaces, someone inevitably asks for an example, and the only example I've seen over the years was of one specific (Nvidia?) GPU that uses NULL of 0xFFFFFFFA (or something similar).

That is, do you know how common it is for NULL to not be 0?
Traveling by train in Germany is great, but it also an endless pandora box of adventures, specially during weekends.

The 9 euro ticket is a nice idea, how well it holds on, even on long period depends on improving the infrastructure.

Just today I took almost 3h to what I usually do in 30m with the car over the motorway.

Yep 2h 30m extra by taking the 2x bus + train + subway + waiting times instead of the car.
Something being legal or not isn't a difference of opinion, lmao.
There's under a billion tweets per day. If you need to employ every human to moderate this you're saying it takes about 9 working days to moderate a single tweet.

If a moderator had to approve every tweet before it goes live, a terrible idea and yes, very expensive, I think a moderator could do a dozen per minute, rather than one every 72 hours like your logic implies.
As someone who was traveling a lot pre-pandemic and does tend to take public transit when there are good options available--I am always shocked at just how bad so many ticketing systems are for someone who is unfamiliar, may very well be tired/stressed, and may not even speak the language. It's not even just the ticketing. It can also be which piece of paper goes into the turnstile etc.--while the people lined up behind you are getting increasingly annoyed.

Heck, after not using for quite a while, the contactless ticketing in my home-ish city wouldn't work for me for unclear reasons when I tried to take the subway and I ended buying a new card.
Well, in fairness, I think just about every rail line on this planet pales in comparison to the reliability and quality of Tokyo rail operations.
A meningococcal disease outbreak in US killed a quarter of infected people
Except no :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_the_Supreme_Being

There was an attempt to replace the old religion by a new one.
And even without such an "open" attempt, another religion would have emerged.
People need to believe in something. Nowadays the new religions are "freedom", "democracy" or "equality"...
Totally agree. Used Gnome 2 some, then switched to KDE and never looked back - to be honest.
I suggest dealing with the US healthcare system, or try taking public transportation in literally any city in the US and compare it to London.
Why? Because you can verify that someone is a student, if you try hard enough. And they're trying to get people hooked on their product, and then pay for it.

OTOH, college is expensive for students, why don't self-taught people have to pay tuition fees as well? I think it's obvious that the being self-taught (technically: self-teaching?) and being a student isn't the same thing.
The number that I look at personally for my community is the number of hospitalizations. That's a lagging indicator but now that we're not doing the surveillance testing we were doing before I think it's more meaningful than positive tests.

Also if people are getting COVID and not getting very sick who cares?
There are parts of the US, namely the parts where a majority of people live, that are densely-populated enough for trains.
BUY MY ART!!! I'M BETTER THAN YOU!!! YOU owe ME THIS. evidence of dumb is in lower case
To clarify that bit, I mean the Canadian prairies. Specifically Alberta, in my case.
Yup. And yet people who sound the alarm about the problems of international government are described as the crazy ones! One guy unilaterally upending people's lives for no obvious reason is exactly what that would look like, all the time. Arguably it already does given what happened with COVID.
I recently did Madrid-Granada and back via train, it was a great experience.
IMO the only way in this industry (without having your own company or something like that) to high-paying gigs is to become more valuable to a company than company is to you. and that you can accomplish only through DEEP specialization
I wonder if cooling without dehumidifying is possible. A lot of times I want it cooler in the house but it starts getting uncomfortably dry.
It's a catch 22. The excuse for not building proper transit is sprawl and the excuse for sprawl is not having proper transit. Sprawl always wins in the US.
I certainly didn't say it was bad. Just that it went outside the boundaries of a standard that was written 25 years later.
Spain has the 2nd largest high speed train network of the world, only after China (and only in the last few years, it was #1 before). So I don't think it's a problem of investment, it's a problem of how well you maintain things, if you overbuild and then cannot finish or maintain it then it's a problem that has little to do with economy.

Another example of high speed train, they forced flight companies to make the Valencia <=> Madrid flights more expensive because people preferred going by plane than by train (faster, easier, way cheaper). Yup, instead of making the train better or cheaper, just force the private companies to be worse so the public infra can compete. Why was it so expensive? Because of it being many times overbudget? Why? Because everyone was taking money.
HN is definitely turning into an echo-chamber where certain opinions and questions are down-voted and whisked out of sight quickly.
Like I said, macOS and OSX combined. 36% vs the 34% of Windows
Please explain. You may give the idea Europe can deal with the problem through some unclear authoritarian action.
I agree it's hopeful. Creating more renewable energy is part of the path forward. But this doesn't solve all of our problems. We still have many other resource and pollution problems that this doesn't solve. Our houses, cars and planes and all the infrastructure supporting these things require materials which are damaging our climate from their extraction and production. This won't go away even if energy was limitless.

Sounds grim, but I think we can still be optimistic because we have a solution that addresses pretty much all of that: cut back excessive consumption. I'm optimistic that we have so much more than we need that we could cut back to sustainable levels and still live really good lives compared to what humans have lived for most of history.
Apparently even love hearts siren over a gyrating structure is pornography. That's fair, Clarence
I fail to see how Stockfish is being childish here. Sounds like ChessBase was given ample opportunity to comply (release the actual source) and tried to weasel out of it (by releasing a modified copy of their new engine's source which hides the secret sauce). Even so, Stockfish only tried to revoke the license when they came to find out ChessBase had ignored the GPL requirements of Stockfish with not one, but two of the engines they sell.

How far should you let someone fuck around with your license terms before you decide to exercise the nuclear option?
Amazon seems like it's in the process of eating itself. Good riddance.
Great question. The only rigorous work on estimation I'm familiar with is Steve McConnell's "Software Estimation". It's been a while since I read it, but here's a paragraph from "estimating by analogy", kinda what we're talking about:

> The basic approach that Mike is using in this example is estimation by analogy, which is the simple idea that you can create accurate estimates for a new project by comparing the new project to a similar past project.

> I’ve had several hundred estimators create estimates for the Triad project. Using the approach implied in the example, their estimates have ranged from 30 to 144 staff months, with an average of 53 staff months. The standard deviation of their esti- mates is 24, or 46% of the average answer. That is not very good! A little bit of structure on the process helps a lot.

and then later on story points:

> On a numeric scale, the ratios between the numbers on the scale suggest that the underlying quantities being measured bear a proportionate relationship. If your story points scale is a Fibonacci sequence, a scale of 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 suggests that a story of 5 points will take 5/3 as much effort as a story of 3 points. It suggests that a story of 13 points will take more than 4 times as much effort as a story of 3 points.

> These relationships turn out to be a double-edged sword. If the necessary care is taken to ensure that stories classified as 13 points really are about 4 times as much effort as stories classified as 3 points, that’s great. That means you can compute an average effort per story point (as described earlier), multiply the total number of story points by the average, and get a meaningful result (also as described earlier).
Accomplishing this level of accuracy requires that great discipline be exercised in assigning story points to stories. It also requires checking actual project data to ensure that the ratios that are estimated are the ratios actually found in practice.

I've strayed from your question.. no I'm not aware of any evidence that this is actually worth doing. To me, the value is in trying to trying to decompose tasks and think about the consituent parts. McConnell expressly calls this out as being a double edged sword if you cannot do it properly though.
You could run a humidifier at the same time
I don’t know about you, but I don’t tend to touch, feel, or smell my IRL acquaintances all that often.
It's interesting to see people rediscover this idea of "develop locally, push static site to web," but I think the weirdest thing for me is, why was this not a continuous thing?

Broadly, this looks good for a blog format, but not sure if that's what people need?

Anyway, for those interested, I just use http://zim-wiki.org plus a custom CSS template I did.
This 100%. Some years back I joined a company with a significant amount of low-quality engineers. In hindsight, the interview process was a breeze.

That's when I realized what should have been obvious: the less rigorous the interview, the less effective it is at keeping out unqualified folks.
Cool! So, you set the Givoni Bioclimatic Chart overlay on?

Grew up in the evaporative zone, and it worked well, except on the hottest of days (which come now more often..). Now I live in a much more humid place, which seems to be in natural ventilation/mass cooling zones (overlap of the boxes is a tad confusing to read.
But literally no one in this thread is saying otherwise. We’re just saying online friends are real and shouldn’t be demeaned with scare quotes, and also you’re probably missing out if your only interactions are local.
As other commenters point out, that characterization is not not accurate. There were most definitely humans involved, including on appeal.

Does that make things OK? I suppose that depends on whether you object more to the decision or the process.
I consider the odds of having quantum computers able to break discrete log within 3 decades to be rather minute. The challenges involved seem way larger than for something like making nuclear fusion commercially viable.

I also have a very hard time believing that

1) physical reality supports computing with a superposition of 2^{256} states each with an accurate amplitude of magnitude 2^{-128}, and

2) that we can engineer systems preserving such accuracies.
One complaint is that moderation gets worse when dealing with less common languages/cultures.

Not long ago there as an HN post about someone being banned for being Syrian (sanctions) when they were speaking in Syriac.

For a non-native English speaker, Syrian (Arabic) and Syriac (an ancient language not spoken for over a thousand years) is really hard to know.

There are going to similar mistakes in every language. Getting a native speaker for some languages is borderline impossible.

Some languages don’t even have native speakers (Syriac, for example).
Curious as to how much meteroic iron could be salvaged and then worked by these pre modern societies. I think the Egyptians had a few iron artifacts that were conclusively from meteorite iron.
According to Wikipedia, the total government budget in the US is around $20k per capita[0] which is on par with some very rich European countries like Germany and France.

The problem in the US is extreme waste/inefficiency and unequal access, not lack of spending.

By the way, neoliberalism is the dominant ideology in most countries now, not just the US. But neoliberalism doesn’t mean “no state spending”; that would be an exaggerated caricature.

What you’re describing is more like libertarianism (in the US sense of the term) which indeed is rather unique to the US, but not the dominant ideology.

We can! Many of us still use c89.(c99 has problems, like variable length arrays).

The reality however is that you cant escape never versions entirely. Not all code you interact with was written in the subset you want, so when your favorite OS or library starts using header files with newer features you need to run that version of the language too.

Another less appreciated detail, is that a lot of WG14 work is not about adding new features but clarifying how existing features are meant to work. When the text is clarified this gets back-ported to all previous versions of C in major compilers. An example of this is "provenance". This is a concept that implicitly been standard since the first ISO standard, but only now is becoming formalized. This means that if you want to adhere to the C89 standard, you will find a lot of clarifications about how things should work in the C23 standard.
US is big is a silly way to reject trains. So are China and India. Both have extensive train networks that allow people to take a train instead of long road trips. The trains are packed. Mobility is super high and abundantly available. Quality may differ but it's improving because people want it. Either way, it keeps cars off the road leading to less pollution, less metal junk and less inflation.

US land is amazingly well suited for HSR and cities are well suited for subways. We also have the money. The only problem is political.
ENS (web3 domains), mirror.xyz (publishing), shibuya.xyz (video content), sunflower land (gamefi), membership nfts (bayc). There are more used cases that are experimental. But "broken links" is why I do not take HN users seriously about web3.
Oh, that looks amazing! Love the diegetic UIs, they look intuitive and very fun to work with!
You and your clones are not gonna be spread around in nature and multiply uncontrollably. Also you and your clones are not gonna be eaten by predators and affect them in unforeseeable ways (i hope). Those differences matter to the people who worry about GMO technologies. The fact that the development is spearheaded by for-profit companies does not help either.
The trick for that is to use two identical bowls, one as a mortar and the other as a pestal.
But starting with latex is almost always ~0 minute.

You can just write the text, and write the equations between dollar signs, and it renders you book quality output by default.

(You also can tweak it as much as you want it, and spend as much time as you want it on it.)
Purely anecdotal but I've had some success answering these calls and asking to be put on their do not call list. There was one that called me multiples times per day for weeks and left 30 second voicemails each time. I ignored them thinking at some point they'd give up or think the number wasn't active but the calls kept coming. It wasn't until I actually answered one and told them not to call me anymore that the calls stopped. It seems like the general advice is to ignore these calls but anecdotally I've never found that strategy to work.
It’s a fascinating tool and thanks for the link! But oh my word — I need to find and download a weather station file, then upload it again to the same tool? I don’t spend much time in GIS tools, but this feels almost maliciously opaque :D

These instructions are hidden behind a “Toggle Instructions” button which is hidden in a popup which is hidden in a select control:

> “Once you have found the right weather station, select its indicator and click the 'Download Weather File' link in the popup. This will download the selected file to local storage so you will need to select the 'Load...' button or the 'Load Weather File...' menu item and locate the downloaded file on your system.”

I mean, I UX for a living and I’ve seen some daft shit, but I’ve rarely seen a tool so useful and polished in its presentation which presents a less-clear surface area to the user. I want to put a frame around it somehow, as The Master Antipattern.
"We don't see the other side" is perhaps literally the biggest problem.

I will have sympathy for this process when they choose to tell us how it all works, clearly and plainly. Otherwise, let the metaphorical rock-throwing continue.
I would say that one should be pretty cautious when baking in assumptions snouty such a fleeting thing as hardware into such a lasting thing as a language.

C itself carries a lot of assumptions about computer architecture from the PDP-9 / PDP-11 era, and this does hold current hardware back a bit: see how well the cool nonstandard and fast Cell CPU fared.

A language standard should assume as little about the hardware as possible, while also, ideally, allowing to describe properties of the hardware somehow. C tries hard, but the problem is not easy at all.
My memory might be failing me but the whole raison d'être for GNOME project was the call by RMS. The premise was as follows: Qt was not truly free (despite promises by TrollTech at the time to address) and thus KDE could not be considered free desktop software.
You don't need Copilot (or other free-to-education stuff) and there is enough that is available (eg VSCode) for you to establish yourself.
This comment of yours is an amazingly good example, even an exemplar, of itself!

Well done! (I mean that. It probably sounds snarky but I swear I'm just impressed with how well the self-referentiality held up over most of the whole thing.)

Anyhow, I once got to talk to Alan Kay on here. There's a lot of noise, sure, but the signal here, when you get it, is outstanding.

Thanks. The analogy at the end made it clearer ;)
> I think with the advent of climate change and water crisis they are going to face same trouble in future.

That's not true, at least about global warming (which is the relevant issue here) and for Canada. See my other comment below (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32205121).
> Because it's the state using it's monopoly on violence

Divorce is itself an instance of the state’s “monopoly on violence”. A state agent (a judge) will decide on issues such as property and custody, and then the state’s “monopoly on violence” will be used to enforce that judicial decision. “At gunpoint” even. Or else, the parties may reach an agreement, a settlement - coerced by the threat of a judge deciding it if they don’t - and then the “state’s monopoly on violence” will be used to enforce that agreement, and in particular the state’s interpretation of it.

Frequently, divorce is forced by the state’s threat of violence on an unwilling spouse. I saw with my own adolescent eyes how my mother used the state’s monopoly of violence to force divorce on my father even when he didn’t want it, and when he was the victim of her adultery-a fact about which the state chose not to care. My father was the victim-and I believe that my siblings and I are victims of her adultery too-my mother the perpetrator-and the state used its monopoly of violence to help her in victimising us. And while I never saw a gun in the whole sorry saga, state agents with guns were only ever a phone call away.
It costed the state 2.5 billion euro for three months. The ministry tasked with evironment protection, nuclear safety and consumer protection has an similar budget in 2021.
I don’t think this is intended to be used in isolation. Cooling dry air is much less energy intensive than cooling dry air + a bunch of water. So, this device efficiently removes the moisture from the air, allowing the ac system to do less work.
Perhaps. What alternative would you suggest? The search terms are fuzzy, and there are too many variants (not exactly misspellings) for me to encode them explicitly. So I thought I'd rather learn from a crowd-sourced corpus.

In my case, I don't want the model to be general. I can afford for it to be like a database index, tailored to that data.
This seems like a self-correcting problem. If you can't export stuff then foreign currency/GMO seeds would get more and more expensive, until the increased productivity of GMO seeds isn't worth it anymore at which point you switch back to conventional seeds. Considering that you can't eat "natural resources like oil, gold, raw copper or diamonds", having the option to turn those things into more food (ie. by exporting them and using the money to buy GMO Seeds) seems like a net positive.
There's an official windows/Mac client and an unofficial GNOME one fyi!
