Wait that other python package besides gevent you linked the according issue/pr "fixed" it by adding that flag. So I assumed "ok, -fno-fast-math doesn't override -Ofast, but then -fno-unsafe-math-optimizations surely does if they use this. No way they also just randomly add a flag and hope for the best"

Do people ever actually test their fixes?

Show HN: Ducks, the Python Object Indexer
The "jittery" I guess refers to layout getting reflowed in ugly ways. Like in that meme, you move a picture 1 pixel, the whole document get totally messed up.

The reason for that behavior is probably very deep flaws in the layout code, and no single person can hold that algorithm in head, so this is never going to be fixed unless somebody goes and thinks very deeply, and works on it for months or a year exclusively.

> In the UK you are legally only allowed 1 current account afaik

If that's anything like the truth, absolutely nobody here knows about it. In an effort to get customers, banks will often give you "introductory" rates which are better than the market, but only for a fixed amount of time (6 months or a year). I know people who have accounts at basically every major bank.

If you want to go this round, find someone who can help/coach you. VCs and boards, in particular, need to be adequately managed. This is no rocket science but requires some experience managing stakeholders. It’s a “game” you need to know how to play.
Writing Open Source is one hobby, I have plenty of other ones in addition to that one, none of which involve computers or IT.

It says a lot about how well you have thought through your argument that only kids do open source when you directly move on to personal attacks rather than trying to explain yourself better.
Irrelevant - our vaccines are also worthless by this point. They don't work against Omicron and there's no difference in infection or fatality rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated by now. There hasn't been for months. Or actually, infection rates are usually reported to be higher in the vaccinated group but by how much depends on age and number of doses. There was a difference at the beginning, although it's unclear how reliable that data actually is (even in the west).
> I wonder if this will become a more common pattern for the cognitive elite.

In Canada, French immersion is an option in public schools starting from kindergarten. Personally, I think it’s a good proxy for sorting classrooms where parents care versus English-only classrooms where the parents seem less involved.

I’ve heard comments from parents who deliberately avoided French immersion for various reasons but these often stemmed from a lack of a growth mindset (it’s confusing for my child, I won’t be able to help them with homework, etc.). This obviously has implications about how kids conduct themselves beyond their home.

Hitting 60 fps for a normal web app is usually not about actually updating the DOM 60 times a second. Two different issues here.

Yes, of course you're using RAF for the game loop. Not sure of the relevance of that comment. I just said 60 to simplify things.

> Games, even games written in React, manage to do this quite easily

That's a really broad and generalising comment. All games are different. My way works but only because I'm using a library that is fast enough. Sure, maybe I should batch update calls and do all sorts of optimization techniques on my end, but why would I when I can just do it like this and focus on the core gameplay instead? Are you saying that libraries should not be performant in order to punish lazy developers like me?
If you've signed up for a payment plan for £xx/month and overnight it goes up to £xx+30%/month in August, with the threat of another similar price hike in January, it could be argued that the energy companies broke the contract.

Yes, there has always been the possibility of prices rising. But there's also always been a reasonable expectation that any price rises would be in line with inflation. Not +30% twice in the space of a few months.
One of my daughters is 8, and she scores very high in school. Relative to my other kids way better at that age, and relative to the other kids in school too.

You might call that gifted.

Surprisingly she is also taller than most kids in her class.

Minor detail that you can totally ignore: she was born 2nd of January.

Companies like Amazon offering open source software as a hosting service can out-compete any other companies offering the same just based on market position.

Liberal open source licenses are the perfect weapon for the monopolists because they ensure an "equal" playing field, meaning they have access to the same tech that smaller companies have. All things being equal, they can always crush the competition with their market position.
Conservatives hate that their money is taken away to fund poor people and take money away from their rich friends, and it brings them to defund healthcare, liberals hate that it creates a natural monopoly and their inability to see a functioning society work without private hospitals brings them to defund healthcare

No wasp at all should be eliminated, and their environmental impact is of course beneficial like basically all wild life (compared to the detrimental impact of a human, a pet), even the one you call "pest" for just turning around humans and killing a super small percentage of bees, let's stop living on opinions, best
Amazon experienced a similar transition in early 2000s:

> The editorial division, which dated back to Amazon’s earliest days, was composed of writers and editors who added a human touch to the Amazon home page and to the individual product pages...An algorithm called Amabot brought about the downfall of editorial. Amabot replaced the personable, handcrafted sections of the site with automatically generated recommendations in a standardized layout. The system handily won a series of tests and demonstrated it could sell as many products as the human editors.

I don’t know where you got that from but in the UK you can have as many current (or savings or whatever) accounts a you like
I suspect it's a bit of a chicken/egg problem (based on my opservations from visiting the US). Even in suburban areas there seems to be roads everywhere, often very hard to cross without a car.

Where I live in Europe, the expectation is that the kids will walk or take the bike to school. 95% of the paths they need to travel is covered by walkways (usually separated from the roads, and in many cases with dedicated bike lanes). Everywhere the kids need to cross, there are crosswalks, and every morning before school a team of parents is organized to safeguard these crosswalks.

Meanwhile, driving is slowed down significantly by the efforts above. The roads are underfunded and lines tend to form around the school (some parents still do drive their kids, up to about half when the weather is really bad). But with parents blocking the crosswalk every time a kid is near, bottlenecks do form. Basically, if you're in a car, you're treated as a 2nd rate citizen. :)

Oh, and I suppose one benefit of all this walking is that hospital bills go down. Mostly because of the exercise, but also to some extent due reduction in air polution (which is helped further by most of the remaining cars being electric, most of which, ironically, are of a certain American brand).
An analogy would be like of the editor. Think of this tool as the editor that one uses. It does not matter to git what editor one uses; similarly, it does not matter what diff pager one uses :)

Yes, you can turn it on without having any side-effects for others.
I wonder if you could mount the apple watch to your left eye and play quake with gyro (in a dark room for immersive effect). Perhaps you could map an audio stop start controller as gun. I once used a 640x480 monocular micro-display (with lensing to around 1x1cm)

The Case for the /usr Merge (2012)
To be clear: I'm proposing something like "no one can pass on more than $1m (or whatever number) inflation-adjusted dollars to their kids". Realistically, this policy would only affect a tiny fraction of extremely wealthy families. (Reminder for HN readers: the median household net worth is something like ~$70k)

If you say you care about actual people, you should care about giving more of them a chance, and worry less about protecting the non-existent property interests of the dead.
Too bad they spent ~60 years doing everything in their power to not allow new power plants and generally kowtowing to green and eco lunatics.

I'm willing to bet most gifted kids are born in the first half of the year, and most not so smart ones in the second half.

Same in sports by the way: most "gifted" players are born at the start of the year: https://www.google.com/amp/s/fivethirtyeight.com/features/wh...

Conclusion: at young ages, you should be very careful what you call "gifted" when you place kids with almost 1 year difference in the same group.
> I've used many open source projects in the past, several of them had critical bugs, that did not get fixed (...)

And that's perfectly fine. FLOSS assures you have access to the source code so that you can dig in and fix any issue you feel strongly about.

What FLOSS does not grant you is a right to demand maintenance and unpaid work from third parties.

If your view on FLOSS is so militant about the right to maintenance,you should also be mindful of the fact that it's you and people like you who are expected to do said maintenance.
For example the origin of the 2002 SARS out break was only established in 2017/2018 - so 16 years after the fact.

Have you considered other sources of equity financing other than VC?

As you rightly identified, "VCs I've spoken to want to turn up the heat and take the business to the moon, planet-scale growth or self-destruct". This is the standard mental model within the VC industry - that only 1 in 10 of your portfolio companies need to moon in order for you to return your promised 20% IRR to your end investors. So push all your companies to either moon or implode. Taking VC cash and aiming for the moon is SV dogma hence your SV friends insta-calling you nuts. There's no doubt that this model has been responsible for significant value creation but it's certainly not the only way to create huge value.

Another category of equity investor is: individuals with cash (Angels, Family Offices). There are many within this category that are investing like VCs i.e. moon or bust. But there are also many within this category that are looking for long-term growth i.e. lower IRR with lower risk of failure. By the nature of them investing their own money, they will typically have more skin in the game than a VC and will able to provide more mentorship to you.

We took seed capital from several different sources including VC (including Founders Fund) and angel investors. The angel investors have been BY FAR the most helpful. It's the classic 80/20 - most angels are completely disengaged, a few have had a transformative effect on our company.

One more point, if you do decide to sell shares for money then do it when you are in a strong position so that you can get the most favourable control terms. There are the standard economic terms (valuation) that everyone talks about. But the control terms are just as important - be willing to take a lower valuation from an investor that is willing to have very founder-friendly terms.

And another point, you can always consider debt financing if you have relatively stable cashflows. But at the early stage this usually comes with all sorts of strings attached which is why in the majority of cases a the early stage, founder-friendly equity financing is preferable. But keep an open mind here.
No alignment is needed. The referral to "Tragedy of the commons" [1] makes it sound as the primary goal of open sourcing was the common good.

What absolute nonsense. This reads like someone who's bought too deeply into their manager telling them to "just get it done".

Blood uses the build engine which was open sourced at about the same time as Quake, there are numerous source ports and it can run on most platforms (although people have gotten it running on mobile devices, there's never been an official port). As nblood is based on eduke32, I'd imagine the only reason it isn't available on more platforms is that no one has volunteered to do it.

> People backing the OSI/Amazon over Elastic/Mongo/etc. are literally killing open source.

AGPL, the license Mongo was originally under, isn't used in reality to prevent deployed applications from hoarding changes; rather, it used to scare commercial entities away from deploying your code. With a commercial CLA providing exclusive code ownership, it allows you a legal club to block others, even other contributors, from competing against your current business interests.

It is licenses like the AGPL and commercial CLAs which have been killing open source and free software, because they destroy motivation for any significant third party contributions and the resulting emergent ecosystem around a project. It reduces the idea of open source and of free software down a lot closer (in my opinion) to source code escrow.

MongoDB didn't want any Amazon changes to be contributed to the project. They wanted to block another commercial entity from offering a service based on their IP. From an open source perspective, I don't take their side any more than I would take Amazon's.
Any Pentium would have been considered high end when Quake came out. Most people were still running 486s, and it caused some consternation that Quake practically required a Pentium to run smoothly (as the renderer’s inner loop was written to exploit the P5’s superscalar architecture).
My top use case for preact was when I needed to embed code into customer’s sites and wanted it to be as lightweight as possible since it was one of my selling points. Think embedded systems but in a web context (like injecting a web form in the middle of an existing page or a modal, completely independent of the rest of the page)

Another example, you know those UIs that might drop down when you click on a chrome extension icon? No need to use react for a simple extension drop down.

If you’re building a 1st party platform or webapp then react makes more sense. But there’s clearly usecases for React-lite.

Regardless, preact core is boring and stable (like 5 years old). I built a multi-million dollar company on it previously for what it’s worth.
Good catch. If this were an internal library, it wouldn't have passed code review.
> Especially if an open ISA means that our systems will be more portable and faster to develop.

So I understand that RISC-V does not immediately impose licensing fees, but how does that translate into portability and speed of development? I'd think that tools and toolchains do not especially benefit from there not being licensing fees, and do benefit from somebody paying cool kernel/compiler hackers. Tools hardware designers use as well as the designs themselves will stay closed. What am I missing?
What has become of early Covid reportings, like the (alleged) Italian finding of Covid-19 in blood samples from Sept. 2019 taken in Lombardy (and similar findings in sewage sampoles from Barcelona)?

I haven't used deno so don't know how that works.

With node you can definitely reload a module without restarting the REPL, you just have to make sure to reassign your references to the new module. The ecosystem generally haven't considered things like that in the past though, so requires quite a bit of setup to get working well in your own apps.
Recon-ng: modular framework for OSINT automation
I still think Putin getting bumped off is a plausible outcome - either by his own FSB, elements of the Russian military, angry oil oligarchs or Ukrainian partisans with or without the help of the CIA and friends.

Whether that will count as a good outcome really depends on what follows: chaos and civil war could be terrible; a short caretaker government followed by the election of Alexei Navalny might be the best possible result.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2

> Managing CO2 levels was a particular challenge, and a source of controversy regarding the Biosphere 2 project's alleged misrepresentation to the public. [...] The crew worked to manage the CO2 by occasionally turning on a CO2 scrubber [...] In November 1991, investigative reporting in The Village Voice alleged that the crew had secretly installed the CO2 scrubber device, and claimed that this violated Biosphere 2's advertised goal of recycling all materials naturally.

> A mystery accompanied the oxygen decline: the corresponding increase in carbon dioxide did not appear. This concealed the underlying process until an investigation by Jeff Severinghaus and Wallace Broecker of Columbia University's Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory using isotopic analysis showed that carbon dioxide was reacting with exposed concrete inside Biosphere 2 to form calcium carbonate in a process called carbonatation, thereby sequestering both carbon and oxygen.
"If your view on FLOSS is so militant about the right to maintenance"

No it isn't, and I've never said so. I've created several open source projects which got quite successful without taking money or the intention of taking money and gave maintainance as I saw fit.

"so that you can dig in and fix any issue you feel strongly about."

Trying to fix critical bugs twice, because their was no support, without being able to fix them, I think this often is delusional. Even finding people to pay willing to fix such bugs is a challenge (but we did pay several $10k to people for fixing bugs). But as I've said, YMMV and you might have been able to fix critical bugs in something like the storage backend of MySQL, I probably can't without breaking things.

There is a difference between fixing a missed edge case in a date formatting library or a race condition in a MySQL backend.
Pretty cool.. These are the sorts of issues we should be looking hard at now. Water, air, food, other supplies, medical etc.

Alcohol taxes definitively reduces consumption, what makes you think it wouldn't?

It's not one of the extremely rare Giffen goods which defy the laws of supply and demand. Most alcoholic drinks have a substitute in drinks with less (or no) alcohol in them, competing on price. Moreover, people's consumption is affected by how much is considered "normal" to drink (one of the early, solid findings of alcohol epidemiology), so there's a positive feedback amplifying small changes to consumption habits from other things.
