Your point also lacks nuance. You claim there is some point at which people become incapable of making decisions, and then, without acknowledging the possibility of agency to potentially euthanise them. That point also lacks nuance. You claim I want to force people to live, but you seem to want to force people to die based on decisions they made prior to whatever point you deem as them losing agency.

You said:

> I would want to be euthanized if in my old age I lost who I am.

I pointed out that, from my perspective 15 years ago, the man I am today has 'lost who I was'. Thus, if I were to apply this generally, 14-year-old me should probably want to kill myself.

Now, perhaps at age 60 I say 'I want to die if I lose myself'. But then, as dementia sets in (if that happens, most old people do not necessarily experience it). Who exactly determines that? How do you know I don't have agency as a potentially dementia-stricken 90 year old? What if at 91, in my dementia, I say I don't want to die. Who do you go with? 60-year-old me that you've determined has 'agency'? Or the person standing in front of you, who may have changed his mind.
> You don't have compile time checks for errors.

Doesn't the fact that errors are values, combined with the fact that you cannot ignore values (except explicitly by assigning them to "_"), provide compile time check for errors?
No, the title is correct. It specifically means "without generating <<loop>> output". That's a diagnostic GHC-generated code emits when it discovers that evaluating a thunk requires the result of evaluating that same thunk.

The title does use a bit of shorthand, as it's aimed at Haskell developers. And any Haskell dev using GHC with enough experience has run into <<loop>> before. So the title isn't wrong; it's just for a different audience.
Even if that's the case, is that an argument in favor of withholding tips? My point is that tips generally are the bulk of the compensation for restaurant staff, so if you don't tip, you're essentially enjoying a meal subsidized at their expense. It doesn't realistically matter all that much what my preferences about tipping versus higher wages for restaurant staff is as a consumer; my only choices when eating at a restaurant are to tip or not to tip, and personally I don't really see any way I could justify choosing the latter given the circumstances.

Wow what a great comment. Please write more.
To each their own. I love that Go is slow to change due to their governance. I think the version of generics that was finally adopted is demonstrably better than the previous proposals. Until the current Go leadership steps down, I really trust the backwards compatibility promise, too.

That's just one of the many things you can do with them.

Really mesh shaders are just vertex shaders where you see 128 (or whatever the meshlet size is) vertices at once, so things like tesselation or blowing up geometry from 1 to [2,128] just naturally fall out of it.

But even if you just use them for regular triangle processing like you used vertex shaders before, you can do things like cull full triangle groups (a full meshlet) instead of culling per-triangle, which can be a lot faster and more efficient.

You can also use various features that used to be compute-only. Like shared memory.

You could quite easily have groups of triangles share data which was kind of annoying to do before.

Countless more things...

Almost everything mesh shaders can do were already possible with a compute shader that spits out triangles which a regular vertex shader then consumes and passes onto the rest of the pipeline. But with mesh shaders you cut out the writing and reading of that intermediary buffer completely, as your produced data is directly created from the typical vertex data and then handed onto the ROP units.

That does sound strange. Might be some weird laptop/driver shit. My desktop is built and the only Windows laptop I use is a corperate one with a custom Windows image from IT. But Windows "walmart" style laptops for home use have always been kinda sus due to all the bloatware on them.

Might have needed a clean Windows reinstall.
At this point I'm convinced the only way industry can actually produce something game-changing is if the government spends a huge amount of R&D on it first.

Huh I did, and it looks like the page says up to 3 years later, but I was outright rejected.
Almost 40% of respondents either use generics or want to use generics. That's a pretty quick uptake given the decade of loud, prominent voices shouting that go didn't need and shouldn't have generics.
Normally I would agree with you but not on this. There is a giant nuclear reactor in the sky giving out as much energy as we could ever possibly want. Literally all energy on this planet came from it: sunlight feeds the plants which are turned to oil or feed the animals which feed us.

Once we have built the machinery to harness that energy, it does become pretty much free and we can use as much or as little of it as we like. The cost of maintaining the machinery will become ever cheaper due to the amount of power we can get for little to no effort. It becomes self sustaining.

There are literally ongoing efforts right now to replicate Asimov’s vision which was to create space based solar farms and transmitting the energy back down in radio waves to specific points. We could literally harness our entire planets energy use from just a few of these in strategic locations if it was done right:

I'd imagine that Air Force One will not have any trouble obtaining the special permit.

This would actually be a great fit for my "adventures":

The appeal of this over a Garmin etc. is that this has a far better UI and is more suited to 90% of the time when I'm not outdoors but at the office etc.

My wife is an attorney and has been happily using Ubuntu for her law practice for something like 10 years now.

When it was time to replace her aging 12in TiBook (OSX) I suggested she consider a Linux laptop. I myself had switched to a Thinkpad with Linux several years before that and she heard me rave about it and looked over my shoulder and thought it looked interesting. She was already interested in the privacy and freedom aspects of free/open-source.

I started by creating a user account on my laptop, setting it up with her most-used applications in the sidebar and a background and color scheme I knew she'd like, and copied a bunch of her documents to it. We went to a coffeehouse where I bought her whatever she wanted and answered her questions as she tried it out. There was absolutely no such thing as a dumb question. I thought Gnome Shell might seem weird to her but she did fine with it.

We spent most of our time with LibreOffice. She's not an Office power-user which probably made things easier. Things were in different places but the apps are similar enough she was able to make the transition. The only real sticking point was that LibreOffice had no split-screen view, but we found a workaround.

She agreed to try a Linux laptop on the condition that we would order a new Macintosh if it didn't work for her, but it worked for her.

Factors that helped:

- She was already interested in the social-justice aspects of free/open-source software.
- She was already used to switching from Windows at her old job to OSX at home.
- We agreed that she could switch back to Windows or Mac, or at least run Office using CrossOver/WINE if there was ever a problem.
- She had her own law practice and didn't need to collaborate with other attorneys. Lawyers make heavy use of MS Word change tracking, and that would have sunk the whole thing.
- We both worked from home and I had a job that let me offer tech support for her basically whenever she needed it.
- She spends almost all her time in LibreOffice, Firefox, and Chrome. She basically doesn't interact with the OS that much.
- I treated her every question as a professional support request. That's just baseline adulting.

She used Ubuntu and LibreOffice for her practice until she took a new job this year. They gave her a Surface laptop with Windows for work but she continues to run Linux on her personal machine.
mmm, yes, the 'legacy business model' of demonstrably competent business decisions at the interest of shareholders that produce quantifiable return on investment and further industry growth through innovation strikes again.
That's the thing... it's always never stable always in development.

I'll habe to check this combination put however. Now the price question, did you use an oidc client? If so which works with both app and web?

It’s because investors aren’t discerning either

Just don’t rely on the A/B test, be aware of it, but don’t rely on it. Put the human control back into the process. Users aren't staying on your platform 5 seconds longer after you hid the escape hatch because they love it, they are frustrated and lost! The A/B test doesn't tell you why the engagement is longer, only that it is. It takes an empathic human to say “okay, B got us that result but not for the reason we want”

No, it's not. Except perhaps by ad companies, but one side assuming a contract does not a contract make.

Then I wouldn't watch YouTube anymore -- that's far too much to pay for something like YouTube.
Using read replicas isn't always an option depending on your write throughput and consistency requirements.

The database can only do so well (and will spend a lot of CPU cycles working on your crazy query plan, because getting it wrong is more expensive, so now you effectively limit capacity regardless of how good your storage engine is).

Joins are great, tons of research went into making joins work, and lots of different join algorithms and optimizations based on data sizes, indexes, etc. But you really have to be careful, verses just denormalizing data across multiple tables/collections. Most applications are read-heavy, anyway... I generally plan for things to be successful, in which case joins don't usually work in the hot path.
I wouldn't say it would make the inReach redundant, although it's going to take a substantial bite out of the low end of the market. I pay extra for unlimited pings on a 10 minute interval--even if I can't call for help when I'm reported overdue they'll know where I am.

I also think my inReach can take a lot more abuse than an iPhone.

I also think it will drive the satellite guys to offer a different service--SOS only, you pre-pay a fixed price that doesn't expire. (Actually, we already have a limited version of this--personal locator beacons have no monthly cost but have to be sent in for refurbishment if used. They are highly reliable but carry nothing but ID and GPS, you can't alter the message.)

How far back are you searching? I'm noticing products on the top of a lot of these lists that were popular 10 years ago.
I now get that Reaction-Diffusion business.

1) "Diffussion" is species vs time equals species spatial laplacian.

2) The "reaction" equations are non-painfully derived from Baez stochastic Petri nets/chemical reaction networks in [1] (species vs time = multivariate polynomial in species, "space dependant rate equation")

So Reaction-Diffusion is just adding up. Species vs time = species spatial laplacian plus multivariate polynomial in species. One more for the toolbox!

Or maybe I'd install Windows again and find it does the same thing it does before.

shrug I'd love to say it's working well for her, but we haven't really gone all the way down this road, I know it will work to use Linux, but it still sits on the shelf and she's still dealing with Windows, (on the more expensive slightly older laptop which also has problems.)

Along the same vein, I've thought about setting up PiHole on my parents internet connection but relent because if/when the internet quits working then I am the one that has to deal with it because it was working before I did what I did.
I find go's package system very convenient for quick projects:

go mod init <name>

go mod tidy

It's definitely more convenient than Python's venv dance.
After years of dealing with Windows bugs, updates, and malware for my parents I got them to switch to iPads. They use the web browser, email, light word processing, spreadsheet, and apps for banking and travel. They adapted reasonably fast and now love their iPads. They can’t touch-type anyway so the Apple keyboard cover works fine for them.

They already used iPhones so the iPad was familiar enough. iOS/iPadOS have built-in secure password generation and management/autofill they can actually use so they aren’t using their dog’s name for every account like they did on Windows. They even figured out how to cast video to their smart tv on their own.

The best part is I never get called to deal with their computer problems.
What worked for us was me first showing her the beautiful setup and things I could do in my KDE environment. I also explained additional benefits such as how private the setup is which she has come to value. If she shows interest, be very upfront that it will be different and she must want to learn how to do some things differently. Without that desire, you are on a path of frustration and conflict. Be prepared to do a lot of tech support to help her with things. Only Office might be a better UX for her than Libre Office.
I view this as a pragmatic solution to a common problem amongst law enforcement agencies which is constrained resources. Focusing on the bad drugs and leaving the hippies alone seems like a sound step forward.

My point is I don't think it was net positive. I'd estimate a net negative. I actually think I spent 10 years overcoming serious limits in post-homeschooling areas in social areas. Now, 20 years after I finished homeschool, I don't see any difference in the end between now-peers and myself, even comparing with the homeschool group I was involved in (as I mentioned, I'm on the upper end of "society's success" with that group... most were far less academic than my family).
It's my understanding that GFM is already easy to do, in fact there's an example of using it with Fresh in the fresh repository as it's used for the docs!

https://github.com/denoland/fresh/blob/main/www/routes/docs/...

Using MDX is a little trickier as the .mdx file needs to be compiled to a javascript file which is then interpretted. When running Deno yourself this isn't hard as you can use a dynamic import, but if you're planning on using Deno Deploy you'll be out of luck as it doesn't support dynamic imports currently.

https://github.com/denoland/fresh/issues/640

Deno Deploy has an open issue asking for support if you want to give it a star. ;)

https://github.com/denoland/deploy_feedback/issues/1

As a workaround, you can always setup a watcher and preprocess MDX files before deploying to Deno Deploy, but that seems against the spirit of what Fresh is trying to accomplish by getting rid of preprocessors.

Let me know if you figure out a way to get MDX on Deno Deploy working without precompile as I'd like to use it myself!
“While it doesn’t immediately enact changes to criminal justice policy in San Francisco, it urges police to deprioritize psychedelics as “amongst the lowest priority” for enforcement and requests that “City resources not be used for any investigation, detention, arrest, or prosecution arising out of alleged violations of state and federal law regarding the use of Entheogenic Plants listed on the Federally Controlled Substances Schedule 1 list.”
As a programmer, your value prop/job/business isn't delivering code. It's solving business problems. If a library lets you do that faster, then it's a good idea. Flexing your ability to code has no place in the real world.
Tell HN: HN Madrid Meetup
Hi, I was wondering if there are enough HN readers in Madrid interested in meeting up.

The idea is to organize some informal talks and, more generally, to create a local community to come and meet other HN readers and discuss all aspects of technology, science, and business.

Comment if you are in Madrid and are interested in meeting up, and if we are enough, we can further discuss the details.
We have many decades' experience with fission projects.

The most reliable prediction, historically, has been that they were lying about costs. No fission project has ever been gone forward without massive public subsidy. There are no projects in progress now or proposed that do not rely on massive subsidies. These go back to the first "too cheap to meter" claims.

Personally? Concordia. But more likely: Pandemic, Terraforming Mars, Twilight Imperium, and Terra Mystica. Anything in the BGG top 50. There is substantial overlap between the two communities.

Catan is on this app's "favorites" list for an unexpected reason: it's a well known baseline, with a number of major flaws that people want to see improved upon*. So people complaining about the game leads to this algo declaring it a favorite, which is ... unexpected.

To me, this suggests some opportunities to refine the model with sentiment analysis. Just raw frequency analysis will be subject to this kind of base rate effect.

> How do you ensure that people aren't asking bad/sub-expert questions and burning out your experts?

These are people who are being paid, right? I mean, I'm sure that plenty of adults get sick of hearing questions about subtraction and multiplication from 6 year olds, but as teachers it's their job and pays the rent. A platform facilitating paying for expert help seems like the ideal place for shitty questions to be asked, rather than cluttering up forums begging for charity.

edit: Assuming no cheating is involved, what's wrong with paying an expert to help you with your homework? I think that a marketplace for expert help is flawed if you can't use it to find tutors.

I had this view as an undergraduate in economics. I got really really into reading Marx and Mises and Hayek etc... which at the time was mostly just academic theory. "End the Fed" lead by Ron Paul kind of started this movement IMO.

Anyway, the reality is people don't want the constraints of denominated money because it's not flexible enough for human desires.

Credit has roots in non-exact social contract that predate banking forever, so the concept of borrowing, interest etc... are as you point out old. The fact that Islamic traders in 600AD decided to not charge interest is totally irrelevant to modern monetary theory

And that's what I find is the difference in how people view these issues, do you look forward to how we can use existing and new methods for exchange? Or do you look backwards and try to re-create a previous system?

I've never seen the second strategy actually work because people reject it.
What it didn't show is "name a price" so that the tax payer can know what they're getting back for the money.

The funny thing is that people who think that fractional reserve banking and money multiplier is a fraud will think that the reality of banking is even more of a fraud.

>Banks first decide how much to lend
depending on the profitable lending opportunities available to
them — which will, crucially, depend on the interest rate set
by the Bank of England. It is these lending decisions that
determine how many bank deposits are created by the banking
system. The amount of bank deposits in turn influences how
much central bank money banks want to hold in reserve (to
meet withdrawals by the public, make payments to other
banks, or meet regulatory liquidity requirements), which is
then, in normal times, supplied on demand by the Bank of
England.
