Generally the problem is that dealing w/ memory is hard. Either it's explicit like C and you've got a lot of memory management code, or it's implicit like Rust and you've got a lot of constraints on what you can do, or you're using GC and you're not a systems language.

Integrating this idea, other ways of phrasing what you're asking is:

- Why don't we add pointers, malloc, and free to TypeScript?

- Why don't we add a borrow checker to TypeScript?

It might seem simple to just add "access to pointers", but the totality of what this means is you have to define semantics for allocation. That means things like .map, .filter, .foreach, the spread operator, and so on. From the TypeScript point of view, that would gum up the works a lot.

Or you could add a borrow checker, but that would invalidate... maybe every existing non-trivial TypeScript program.

---

Secondly, you're asking for an entirely different backend infrastructure. TypeScript compiles to JavaScript, systems languages compile to object code. There would be significant complexity converting all the features of TypeScript into object code, generators and async/await come to mind.

---

TL;DR you really can't separate a language's features from the rest of its design. It influences everything from semantics to syntax, and designers carefully balance all this based on the problems they assume their users are trying to solve.
Is Gen Z supposed to be the last generation?
Why would you have to do that? You can just inject an entitymanager to wherever you want to use it natively and do whatever you want.

I agree that some people think this way, but not I. I don't even believe there is a "you" to have free will. Who has control over anything in their brain? They are their brain.

I'm just thinking that perhaps there is a possibility that the brain evolved to take advantage of quantum phenomena to increase capability.

One problem you are facing is that you are missing 2 important steps:

4) Gauge the reaction
5) Go back to Step 1

Nobody just comes up with a persuasive message and delivers it in one-shot. These people are good at iterating conversations towards a goal.
Jeeps aren’t really a good benchmark for cars though, they’re an aspirational car, even the Cherokee.
What I do is buy meat in bulk from costco and marinate and preseason then cut it up and vacuum seal it with a $30 vacuum sealer and sousivide bags from amazon.

I can then stuff my freezer with ready to cook chicken, steak, fish, etc. I just take it out the night before to thaw in the fridge.
I’m shocked to not see Flutter supported here. It’s not truly truly native I guess. But Dart is very modern and capable and the Flutter framework is better for building native UIs than nearly anything else out there. It’s also ridiculously developer-friendly to get builds going for all your target platforms quickly.
I quickly threw a few into excel with a pareto graph to show distribution. Granted, it is only the first 10,000 integers % 1000: https://imgur.com/a/HypGWP1

To my untrained eye, md5 and sha1 (and not shown, sha256) look remarkably similar to random. If you want truly even distributions, then going with a nieve "X % Y" approach looks better.
Have you used Next.js much? Next was the first (and so far, only) SSG I enjoyed using in the JS world. Just wondering if you have any comparisons. Markdown generation in Next was also a breeze.
Blaming the employees smells like a smokescreen for poor management IMO.

Who's to blame for lowered employee productivity: employees who are disconnecting from work more to avoid burnout thanks to corporate BS like paperwork and constant report filing? Or the managers who impose those requirements on employees but fail to empower the individual contributors beneath them in the org chart?

I recently left a large-medium sized tech company that failed to address massive structural issues in my department for years. It's not like these were a secret -- I brought them up constantly in my 1on1s, and tried to brainstorm solutions with my management chain.

When I left, the head honcho begged me to stay, and when I brought up those issues... told me he had no idea that was such a problem! But also refused to address it because he had to "gather information" about the issue.

I'm much happier at a smaller company without so much bureaucracy. At some point, managers are so disconnected from their underlings that they are completely incapable of improving work conditions. And when you need high-level approval to make a big decision... more often than not, the big decision just never gets made.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
Ask HN: Amazon lying about shipping dates?
Lately Amazon told me that an item would arrive in 2 days when I placed the order. I just now received an email that the item I ordered had its shipping date adjusted. It was going to be a month from now, but now Amazon says they can get it to me in 4 days! How lucky am I?

Have others experienced the same, gaslighting from Amazon?
There are extremely competent programmers (10x) like there are outstanding players in sports and music. They do have an outsized impact on the projects they work on. However, they are also extremely rare. The problem, IMHO, comes from cult-startups where they think they can (a) identify these people in an interview (b) build a team of only 10x programmers.

This results in (c) calling a whole lot of average programmers they hired as 10x programmers because of (a). After all, they are smart and their interview process is infallible.

So, if you meet one of those rare folks, enjoy the intellectual banter :).
Few work, mostly because the desire to get stuff done gets nixed from day one by process, bureaucracy and business drones. Also, the prospect to make an actual fuckton of money is completely unlikely these days.

Google can't get anything done for a very simple reason:

a) comps are way too high. why bother doing anything when gold rains from the sky every day of the year.

b) you're never going to make it to 50 Million at Google however hard you work, unless you make it to SVP, which is a 15 year endeavor. In other words, strictly no incentives to do amazing stuff when compared to a startup.

c) the environment is highly political, actual entrepreneur spirit is long gone and/or smothered by product type folks.

If what you're looking for in life is a civil servant type of highly paid cushy job, Google is the perfect place to be. If you want to innovate and change the world, flee this godforsaken place as soon as you can.
Yeah you lazy fucks, how dare you work so little that we only have an annual NET INCOME of 39B (39B for Meta, 76B for Alphabet).

> persuade the audience on just about any subject

I think I'm like most people here that are happy to argue to correct someone's factual mistakes. The hard part for me is to persuade someone on a grey area, or more importantly to get them to do something that directly benefits me with no benefit to them. Ie "use my app its just what you want", when I know there are a bunch of better or cheaper options.
Matches my experience too, both consulting and in-house as the person who'd be the first to even consider looking at the database query logs or running "explain" on queries.

A reason for ORMs is that a lot of developers fear the database (EDIT: not the only reason, to be clear; I love and use ORMs). A result of ORMs is that a lot of developers think they can avoid understanding the database.

Sure, but Ruby could've been a player in data science as well. But for some reason Python won handily in that space. Was it all down to numpy, scipy, etc?
Maybe I missed it, but can you give a ballpark price?

Without specific dimensions for the display its hard to figure out how big, and where the display actually sits. There's not much room between the legs of my monitor stand, and the top of my keyboard, and even less so with a desk mat.
I'm not familiar with this, does this method require that each value is measured independently of the others? Because in that case, you'd want to use monthly inflation rates, rather than monthly estimates of inflation relative to 12 months prior, right?
Surprised they don't mention the most commonly used knot for rapping: euro death knot.
im always curious about people (not you, the person you are replying to) who pop out metrics like these and mis-interpret them (not maliciously I'm assuming). I always wonder how many people they've repeated those facts to (most of whom won't fact check or think twice about it) and how many of THOSE people repeated them to other people THEY know.

This is very similar to old-school journalism advice:

The most important thing goes first. If your reader doesn't care about it, they will move on anyways.

It is also a pyramid because the editor is likely going to have to cut it to fit in an allocated space, and as the writer you didn't know where that was going to happen.

Now that I think about, without the physical space restrictions 'modern' internet journalism doesn't have the same concision and I wish it did.
Just to be clear. The person did not say it his personal inflation is 100%. He said prices increased by 100-150%. If item X usually costs $3 and now it costs $6. The price of that item increased by 100%.

Perhaps he is only spending 10% of his income, but it doesn't really matter for what he is talking about.
Those widgets look great. Since I saw something about a developer invite on the website, I wonder if a desktop dashboard app could happen?

Also I couldn't quite tell if the desk's display can be touched or not, though I imagine it would make no sense to make it a touch screen.
It results in a better experience for their users, but it would not improve their business. It would lower the barrier to switching from iOS to Android. A lot of people, myself included, only have an iPhone because of iMessage. I would love if my iPhone supported RCS. But that is at least in part because it would pave the way to me being free from Apple (not that I’d necessarily switch). And that hurts Apple directly.

It also hurts them because it decreases their network effect. If people do not encourage each other to move to iMessage because RCS is more available, fewer users switch to iPhones.
I did that too.. so fast to setup some definition generators, its really lovely.
1 and 2 are clear incitements to violence, and are clearly illegal already. I don't know about 3; that appears to be a possibly truthful statement about the speaker's state of mind, and truthful or not, it seems legitimate to me. IANAL.
I thought about a similar service quite a few times. The problem ensuring longevity. In short, the hard part is the technical side, it's the org side.

That's interesting, in the UK it's generally fixed for 2/3/5 years but then reverts to a pretty lousy rate (unless you remortgage to another fix). If you're lucky you fixed just before this all started, and won't have to remortgage for another few years when rates might be dropping again.
>How is it not?

You stated we removed their profit by sanctioning Tornado Cash. For one I don't think you have evidence sanctioning Tornado Cash eliminates profits of North Korea. There's also quite a few other ways, and only by moving the goal posts of saying we also shut off all those other ways of gathering profits could they be shut off. Which of course is both arguably infeasible, and not what you said.

>On top of that, you have Bitcoin's high transaction costs, and completely public transactions.

I didn't pay with bitcoin, I paid with LTC where my transaction costs a penny, plus or minus a penny.

>Bitcoin does not remove the reason (fraud risk) you are charged that markup.

That's nice that credit card premiums include fraud protection, but I'm not interested in paying for that with this vendor. It is one I very much trust, and even though I may even benefit from fraud protection I prefer not to have it. The vendor and I am in mutual agreement that I agree to give up my crypto with little chance of recourse, and I trust they will provide me the product. Sure, they may not make good and I may not have any good recourse, but the vendor and I have consensually made that agreement together with our own benefits in mind. In this case no fraud protection is a great benefit for me personally as I don't pay premiums for a service I don't want.
I remember being confused how kitchenaid and competitors calculate how strong they are.
The machine has a HP rating and a Wattage, the HP was higher than the wattage when converted. So after some reading it turns out they have a special way of measuring HP. It still confuses me.

I'm a bit worried that this will trigger some kind of move to measure productivity in increasingly crude ways -- i.e. exhaustive, invasive telemetry that tracks every mouse click and keypress.
That's how it works. Inflation is not a force that acts on all prices. It is a measurement of a weighted average change in prices. One thing can be up a lot while another thing is flat, or even cheaper.
It's not an issue of maintaining a 'western European' standard of living - it's an issue of millions of people suffering because of lack of access to basic services, and a sky high crime rate that brutalises the population. The situation can be much better than it is without being comparable to western European standards.

According to worldbank data the murder rate in SA is around 10 times higher than in Egypt, and around 5 times as high as in Mongolia.

If you like the correct framing is 'extreme suffering due to poverty', not 'high inequality'. The inequality is galling because there is a small percentage of people (myself included) who enjoy a good quality of life while millions of people live in poverty.

Purely in terms of 'inequality being bad', there are good reasons to believe that it undermines democracy (citation required I suppose).
Craftsman used to have a fantastic return policy
The Bolt is about $26k. I looked it up last night while fantasizing about car purchases. I guess the Leaf is more expensive now, oops? Not sure why my point wouldn't still stand?

The new car shortages are real but I don't see how they speak to long term EV viability which is what was being discussed. ICE cars are just as affected, and it's bound to get better eventually.

EDIT: It appears you have lied. The price you quote is for the fancier model of Leaf, but the base model is available for $27,800 according to Nissan's own website. I got here by searching "nissan leaf" on google. Not sure why you didn't do this. https://www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/electric-cars/leaf.html
How is accessibility? best thing about Electron is we get accessibility of Browser
That is the argument, yes. That speech can cause harm because we have a social nervous system and chronic stress can shorten life span.

A better argument is to appeal to the history of genocide. There's a causal connection between speech and culture on the one hand, and genocide on the other.
You can also, live in a tent, and avoid electricity all together!

But for those who like protein packed meals in a comfortable environment an additional deep freezer is a great investment.

You can deep freeze extra veggies/fruit if you have a beef with meat.
The purpose of the example in my first comment was to show that quantum phenomena can influence macroscopic phenomena, not as an example of an RNG. It was probably a bad choice as everyone took it to mean an RNG. Quantum phenomena are not needed for this.
"16% better than wav2vec2, 44% better than Scribosermo, 75% better than DeepSpeech" was more than enough for a good headline. Of course everyone was going to get sand in their panties over "284 lines of C++", and now it's time to pay the HN pedantics piper.
OK, but that still doesn't make any sense because:

> we had tables for each thing

I take that to mean "a separate table for each class of thing." So the single "relationship" table had to somehow refer not just to rows in tables but to the tables themselves. AFAIK that is not possible to do directly in SQL. You would have to query the relationship table, extract a table name from the result, and then make a separate query to get the relevant row from that table. And you would have to make that separate query for every relationship. That would be horribly inefficient.
> How did the Nazis conquer Germany in your opinion?

By winning the popular vote in an election. No revolution at all.

> The point applies at least there.

Even leaving aside the above, the point would only apply if you are claiming that Nazi Germany promoted "peace and prosperity" in Western Europe.
Because the two have nothing to do with each other.
I forget where, but I read somewhere that people are good at recognizing patterns are susceptible to conspiratorial thinking because they see patterns everywhere.

And one of the components of intelligence is pattern recognition.

Taxes are escrowed and bundled in with the monthly payment to the mortgage provider though.

My taxes went up quite a bit this year, which reflects in the monthly payment. Of course the mortgage part of it stays the same, but the overall monthly payment which includes the taxes and insurance goes up.
I know that, at least in the New Orleans area, Entergy effed up and undercharged people for a year, then decided it was a smart idea to reconcile their screwup by hitting people with a $600 bill last month for a home that usually uses about $300 in electricity.
I think the current economic system needs significant reform, and in many countries massive reform, but a complete scrapping of all markets (which I have heard proposed in some corners of the internet) is unlikely, unneeded, and probably unhelpful

We need social democracy, expanded government roles and investment in certain fields, stronger environmental protections, and other policies that are either known to work or very likely to work.
I don't want to sound like a contrarian, because, I sort of agree. Or, rather, I would like to be able to agree.

Perhaps presumptuous, but I don't think wisdom goes together with either inaction, complacency, or otherwise willful ignorance. Which, seems to be the gist of the replies my previous comment received.

I still think that not worrying/complaining about things we cannot control or affect holds true for many things, and many aspects. However, I disagree with the premise. We can all do something, some more than others.

I've categorically refused jobs in the oil and gas sector, and increasingly become picky about what to devote my professional life to. I very consciously try not to be a consumerist, though I'm probably in the global top 10%, given statistics for my country. I eat meat, even though it doesn't help. I have traveled the world for my own amusement, though I've come to see it as an absolutely ridiculous thing to have done.

I could definitely do more. I could actively devote my life to it. I could decide not to have kids. Etc.

Is it wisdom to ignore these problems? Or to find happiness as a state of mind, in spite of it? I would assume it's the latter. I just don't know if wisdom is the right word for it. But maybe it is.
Molecules of an ideal gas bounce off the sides of the container, not each other.

This reminds me of the other day when my son and I were standing close to several beehives and watching the bees work. I asked him, "How long do you think we have to stand here to get stung?" and he said "a week". A few minutes later one of the bees had gotten stuck in his hair and was working it's way in deeper before stinging him.
Model Ys use something like 250-300 Wh per mile if you’re not at highway speeds, so I think your range estimates might be a bit pessimistic?

But yeah, I wouldn’t count on short grocery store stops to charge my car.

I think it's acceptable to expect better. If we didn't, we'd probably have surface level sewer, water, fiber, cable, etc; all laying about, probably causing trip hazards. And these industries would probably lobby and set archaic and asinine rules for how the burial happens, and make you pay 10x the cost of what it really takes to use one of their approved contractors, because you're indulging in the luxury of having hidden basic-needs infrastructure.

>Homophobes aren't a protected class because they aren't systematically persecuted for something outside their control.

You cannot assert that if you cannot demonstrate that homophobia is 0% genetic (I am using "genetic" loosely here). In reality, like most complex human traits, it's partially genetic and partially environmental, hence it is outside the control of at least a subset of those exhibiting it.
It's a decision from 2003 I think. It's mainly because I'm from the UK, so I'm extremely sensitive to the risk of people confusing DD-MM-YYYY and MM-DD-YYYY - the least ambiguous format is to use DD-Mon-YYYY, so I picked that for my URLs.

If I was designing my blog today I'd probably drop the day and month entirely, and go with /yyyy/unique-text-slug for the URLs.

Not only that, but he’s providing a much higher level of service for a significantly smaller cost than ISPs that have been given billions over several decades and have yet to reach the customers he’s reaching.

My biggest fear for him is that comcast will lobby to be able to sell subscriptions on his infrastructure (because competition!), put him out of business and then screw his existing subscribers.
