Well... Protonmail happens to be the only e-mail provider that cannot fully be used as intended using just NMAP, because the core feature is its proprietary encryption and related features. So I would guess it's probably a singular outlier in having more web client users, rather than less.

I remember going to a talk by David Brevik at NZGDC where he not only explained that the majority of Diablo was written in assembly, but that it was originally turn based, and his staff kept whining and whining about how good it would be if it were real-time. So in one weekend he made the necessary changes (ie run 1 turn/x time), ran over to a skeleton and hit it with his sword; he was sold!

I'm sure he tells the story in that format a lot but it was still awesome hearing it from the man himself.
Python definitely considers itself a serious language, not one intended for 500 line scripts. They have libraries supporting server creation, GUI and desktop applications etc.

It's just that in practice, the trade-offs the designers made for easy development made writing large applications next to impossible, unchecked exceptions being one of the major sources of instability. You write very fast buggy code and get excellent productivity initially, but as the program grows you fave a factorial growth of interactions between components, and, because the interface points are not well defined and checked at compile time, what you gained during development is lost under an uncontrolled torrent of subtle runtime bugs.
My general impression is that a well paying, full time compiler position is quite competitive. It's relatively niche, and there are a lot of good engineers who would love to work on compilers all day rather than the typical drudgery (it's one of the purest CS pursuits). I'd suggest scratching your itch by working on an open source compiler in your spare time. And with significant experience under your belt, you may be able to network and get that dream job one day.

Source: I know people on both the Scala and Swift teams and this was my experience. Everyone wants to work on these teams, and it was generally seen as the most enjoyable work. You pretty much had to have good connections/solid OSS contributions/relevant PhD to get a placement on these teams. I imagine it's the same at MS.

Yes! It seems computers are inherently limited in what they can do, as calculating machines.

They calculate. But don't solve societal or social problems or do work in the traditional sense of work

I am always trying to think of new uses of computers.
It's somewhat subjective, but the core of Typescript which AssemblyScript uses for 'inspiration' is a much smaller and 'friendlier' language than C++ or Rust. Unlike C++ or Rust you can learn the whole language in an afternoon or at most a weekend, and if you already know TypeScript anyway you also already know AssemblyScript.

Basically, the question "when targeting WASM, why should I use C++ and Rust instead of AssemblyScript" is just as valid.

In the end the language choice is most likely enforced by what libraries one needs to use for a specific project anyway (e.g. if you need to build a project on top of a handful C++ libraries, it's probably a good idea to use C++ for the whole project too - and at least there is such a choice now when targeting the web).

> What are the companies that do exciting stuff in compilers?

Some companies solve problems that have a larger component of parsing and evaluating things.

One example is Hasura's SQL-to-GraphQL layer: https://hasura.io/

Another example is GitHub's CodeQL: https://github.com/github/codeql

A third example -- I forget the name of the company -- parses Counter-Strike games real-time and restructures this data for better analytical introspection, e.g. for betting, time-scrollable replay, 2D rendering, etc. There appears to be a lot of hard-earned knowledge going from a stream of events monkey-patched over two decades, to a complete model of a game (who's on what team, who is dead, what round is this, etc.)

Microsoft does a lot of interesting compiler-related stuff, too, of course.

Then there's blockchain: A lot of programming-language enthusiasts have been employed to write VMs and DSLs to express safe application-level environments. An example is Anoma's Juvix: https://github.com/anoma/juvix

A job I was looking at involved building a more programmatic interface to some legacy SCADA systems, i.e. make old factory monitoring systems interoperate via a DSL. The idea, I think, is to transform and manage the configuration files from a dynamic GUI system, but not employ people to drag-and-drop; rather, express this as code.

tl;dr: If your main tool is a compiler, there are compiler problems everywhere.

There’s a conspiracy theory that the CIA created Bitcoin and promoted it as this anonymous secure way of money transfer so they could identify global crime networks.

I don’t think that’s true at all, but if the CIA had thought of doing something like that and had done a good job of it, I suspect whatever they would have created would have looked awfully like Bitcoin.

It appears anonymous as hell on the surface, but even with the slightest bit of metadata and effort it can be deanonymized. And let’s not forget that the CIA and friends are legally allowed to collect metadata in situations such as wiretaps, etc. and have massive troves of it at their disposal.

In the meanwhile, every transaction is public.
Some people use ProtonMail because it's precisely not Google, and most who are using it as Gmail replacement will still use it in-browser (as opposed to using it in Thunderbird or something else).
Not sure how much it matters, but I suspect that lots of wires would be required.

Sure - the model scales up existing wind and solar generation assets, so you would need transmission infrastructure to those same areas to scale up as well (and likely inter-region interconnectors to scale up as well).
It's not that Google insists, it's that IMAP is antiquated and JMAP doesn't fix it either. Same letter in multiple "folders" should've been added to IMAP/JMAP aeons ago.
All shared expenses are divided based on salary % so expenses are more based on work time than salary

IE,
Expense share = My salary / ( her salary + my salary)

To make this doable, we have a shared account, from which all shared expenses are paid (mortgage, food, holidays, anything that can be construed as shared)

So if one person earns 8000 euros a month and the other 2000, the split is 80/20.
If we need 100 euros in the account, one pays 80, the other 20

That way, when we go for a nice dinner, it's the same value for both of us. It costs us both 1%, or 1h of work etc.

Savings are private but property is in her name, to offset for gender inequality in general life security.

Context:
We're not married, are reasonably young (40/35), have been together a while (8 years, have good conflict resolution skills and plan to have a kid next year.
I get paid dramatically more than her but honestly she works harder than me. I work in tech she works in literature.

We plan to move to phase two soonish, of paying salaries into the join account and getting spending money in our checking accounts.
Having private accounts is useful for making sense of finances, just in terms of I can double check my own spending list without having to run it by her.

I'm into the single pot idea, but need to figure out how to do proper checks and balances incase we separate at some point. There need to be guards in place working against systemic gender equality, but I also don't want to screw myself over.
Having a written agreement about what savings belong to whom is more important when we have joint savings. Things bias towards being in the guys name, so the danger of a simple shared pot verbal agreement is that there is large wiggle room for me to claim everything in a breakup. Hence putting property in her name.
Im not from/in the UK or US, but not sure that matters. I also prefer manual transmission. As my car is currently in the shop for repair, I have a borrowed car from the shop, who has automatic transmission instead of manual.

It's true that it takes less effort to drive. Easier to drive by just using one leg and easier to use one arm. But the loss of control is real, at least for me.

One example is moving from zero to non-zero. If I just release the break while standing still, the car slowly accelerates, too slowly. If I gently press the accelerator pedal, same problem. If I press is slightly more, the car accelerates too much. There doesn't seem to be a sweet-spot anywhere for a smooth but fast "takeoff", which is easy to achieve with my manual car.

Another example is highway driving and wanting to accelerate to pass someone. Sometimes the car decides that when I press the accelerator (while driving in 120km/h already), to shift down a gear to be able to speed up faster, but it's completely unnecessary, just go faster instead.

Last pet peeve is reversing. Instead of pressing the accelerator to go backwards, you release the brake pedal. But this again is hard to find a sweetspot and I end up doing stop-slow-stop-slow-stop... and so on, instead of just smoothly backwards without stopping, while being to adjust the speed.

Overall, I can't wait to get back to my car with manual transmission, so I can have a smooth driving experience again.
I played with a few of the challenges when they were going on at the time, it’s a shame they appear to have stopped. The winning solutions were always mind-blowingly clever!
High gas prices help renewables, because they are even cheaper by comparison. As shown by this model, which as well as removing the 75% of coal fired electricity, reduces the gas fired electricity from 15% to less than 5% and saves lots of money in the process.

The American move from coal to gas shows that even in places where it's still politically favorable to pretend climate change isn't happening, or that coal is clean, simple economics is a big driver of change.

I disagree with this, don't spam people. Sometimes people even go out of their way to contact you using multiple channels and it gets even more annoying.
It's incredible how national security became the channel through which to make the US internet more like China's state controlled one.
Yeah, people are just completely inoculated against all forms of nuance :D

What I think is important to add to that equation is some dynamism of those prices/costs. Because even though fuel (fertilizer) costs are rising now, it's unlikely that they'll stay high, and changing from one form of industrial scale agriculture to some other is likely even more costly (than bearing years of high fuel costs).

One quite possible scenario is that if fossil fuel use falls so much that production becomes so uneconomic that prices still rise (or remain relatively high).

Of course, eventually as with everything that is eaten by technological progress it's likely that we'll start using a lot more energy (just not from burning fossil fuel) to have better controlled production. (Call it 'vertical farming', but it might look completely different, maybe big domes or ... who knows.)
I think they mean feminization in the biological sense: It's the reason fat men usually have visible breasts: the body has a pathway for converting cholesterol into estradiol[0], excessive cholesterol causes some feminization due to that.

Ask HN: What are cognitively demanding Jobs that involve physical activity?
Hello HN,

as typical CS engineer, I spend most of my time at a desk. The problem is: I don't even like spending time at my desk.
I don't like sitting and staring at a screen for days, weeks and probably years on end.
Now say that I'd want to get away from said desk, while still doing those task most of us relish and take pride in - thinking, organizing, solving problems in creative ways.

So as main questions:
Do you actively work in or know of a profession that enables you to have it all - physical activity, creativity, problem solving?

I know that there are many ways to alleviate the problems of sitting and staring at a screen for too long like intermediate pauses, standing desks, treadmills and so forth - but I want to look forward to the activity itself, not find ways of making it bearable.

Thanks for your input

Reddit is the only service I know of that seems to want to sell you ads, but also goes out of your way to make your life much worse.

If you've got a good amount of bandwidth available you should try Sync. It's an unofficial app but it's built around the ability to prefetch posts and comments. It seems to batch requests in some way, so when you've got a good connection you can get quite a lot of stuff loaded for when your connection dips later (i.e. a train).

That said, there's still more waiting involved than with visiting HN but that's probably because Reddit is much more graphics focused.

It would seem common sense that growth cannot continue on a finite planet forever without catastrophe, hence our current situation.

Others have mentioned this, but you can try to treat things as separate if you want, but legally, they are not separate. Marital property is 50/50 and that includes anything either of you earn while married.

Personally, I would absolutely not want to try and be an accounting minutiae expert in my marriage. The point of making a good amount of money is not worrying about money. I make pretty close to triple what my wife makes right now, but that wasn't always the case and certainly isn't guaranteed to always be the case. The point of marriage is you're a single decision-making unit. It's a lifetime commitment. You weather the highs and lows and buffer for each other to make it easier and more pleasant than it would be if you were single. I had a really bad spine injury 8 years ago, and there was a period of nearly 6 months that I couldn't work at all. Without my wife, I couldn't have even put my shoes on, and I was earning zero for at least a short period of time due to being young and stupid and thinking independent contractor with no disability insurance was a fine thing. Well, guess what has happened since then? My wife has a condition that has put her in the ICU twice in the intervening years, and has had to switch jobs and go through a brief period of unemployment for the same reason. She didn't need to worry about money either during that time specifically because we're a single economic unit and bad things that happen to us individually don't need to happen to us together.

The way I treat making more money than her is both of us deposit paychecks into a single shared account. Most of what goes in there ends up in other accounts, either for retirement or mostly into brokerage accounts to invest what is over the limit for tax protected retirement accounts. Neither one of us really touches that, but it doesn't matter. Both names are authorized to withdraw if we wanted to. It's community property legally. At some point, one of us is going to die before the other. Given her medical profile, I'm likely to outlast her, but if I die first, am I gonna feel cheated that my wife gets a nice life because of all my work? Isn't that the point of work? To make things better for your family, not just for yourself?

Yeah, ok. You lost me there. Technology should exist to enable people, not some marketing asshole that thinks a button would look significantly better five pixels to the left.
I would go on a limb and say Rust (or more specifically, a limited dialect of it) could become a good language for beginners if:

- the compiler had better life time inference, so that you wouldn't need to annotate simple functions and introduce beginners to complex issues related to lifetimes, i.e it should "seem" to work like python, initially.

- better learning resources for absolute beginners are developed, step by step tutorial, an easy to install full IDE with friendly error messages etc.
Protonmail and Brave do indeed seem like a good fit. Two somewhat sketchy, very commercial outfits that market themselves as more private than the competition and that will gladly break existing standards and practices to so.

They also seem to attract surprisingly similar groups of users, including a larger-than-chance overlap. Protonmail, in particular, seems to have become a sort of running joke as the e-mail provider of choice to send threatening mails in all-caps.
At 10k a year this is very unlikely to work. Few startups will pay that to protect against a threat that, practically speaking, is very rather unlikely. The fee needs to be an order of magnitude lower. Incidentally it will open up this service to a much wider range of companies, so it may actually be easier to pull off.
