As I said, they can probably delete everything they could sell. What's left are fragments, which are still a real concern but not enough to use for ad targeting and certainly not enough to satisfy a big-money customer. They might take that $50M anyway, but it would be under false pretenses and that's a very different issue.
Auto-complete generally completes a single identifier, and the possible completion list is usually restricted by the types involved. So the likelihood of it getting a wrong one is lower, but even if it does, it's easy to spot.
Fun facts:

- She ruled for 30% of the time since the American Revolution

- She oversaw the largest reduction of landholdings of any empire in the history of the world. Notable because it was also one of the most peaceful transitions in history -- Australia, Canada, South Africa, Israel, Egypt, etc.

- She oversaw the loss of Sterling the world reserve currency and the rise of another (the USD, EU).
Ah ok. Actually we've mostly turned pagination off lately because recent performance improvements (not the big ones - those are still coming!) made it possible. But I forgot to turn it off when I restarted the server today, and with the big QE thread burning hot at the moment, we should maybe wait a while.

I agree that it's annoying and it will be a happy day when we can turn it off properly.

I agree, it's a lot harder to logically/visually move through comments. The grey-black-black-with-underlines is a lot easier to read then the bold-black/black/thin-hl. It's kind of why I hate the new reddit style too.

I also don't like having to hover to see the icons for reply. Why are you hiding the parent/context buttons for navigation in a dot-dot-dot menu when you drill into a comment chain? Where's prev/next? Upvote/Downvote/hover UI covers stuff, and no alt tags anywhere to be seen.

Also why does it need perms to firebase and extensionpay again?

It just feels clunky even as a redesign.
Also good luck getting government approval for using a military engine derivate for commercial flight to Asia, or basically any country other than the origin of said engines. And even that will be difficult. Export control can be a bitch.
I have been writing Go code as a hobby for 2 years now (built in house tool as well but nothing production critical yet). I have found the verbose error handling to be very easy to understand and I prefer it that way. Checking for

if err != nil

is better for me because I know exactly what to do with errors. Am I missing something ? I am also used to Try/Catch in PHP and many years ago, Java.
The basic tenets of "faith" of buddhism are literally

1. nothing is permanent (not even gods)
2. there is no soul (literally "atma" which can also mean god)
3. because humans don't accept 1 and 2, we are unsatisfied

The three marks are the bedrock of buddhism.

Now, buddhisTS, meaning people who call themselves buddhists often do believe in gods or god. Just like here in Sweden most people who call themselves Christians don't believe in the Trinity, the virgin birth, the divinity of Jesus, or any other of things many christians would think are mandatory for the faith.

You need to keep your terms separate. Buddhism is agnostic, it says that if there are gods then they also are subject to the natural laws. Buddhists can believe anything.
One could argue that a current monarch's reign is not exactly leeching of the public money as it were, but a difficult and thankless job that one just can't get out of.
If global warming as predicted, it's very likely.

The succession is all men:

Charles (10 - 20 years of reign puts us in the 2030s)

William (30 - 50 years puts us between 2060 - 2080)

George (30 - 50 years puts us between 2120 - 2140)

The next possible female monarch is if George dies for some reason (passing onto Charlotte) or if George has a daughter first which would mean she'd take the throne well into the 2100s.

>It's weird, I've never considered myself a "royalist" but this news has affected me quite strongly. I just burst into tears unexpectedly on hearing this news and I don't quite understand why I feel so very sad. I guess I have grown up and lived my whole life (as a Brit) seeing and hearing the Queen, singing "God save the Queen" etc, and this news made me suddenly feel very old, very nostalgic, with the sense that all things pass in time, which makes my heart ache deeply.

I'm not even British and find myself feeling likewise. The Queen has been a fixture for a long time (before my birth and even before my parent's birth as well). It is also probably because of Queen Elisabeth's story was somewhat moving. It will take some time to get used to King Charles III...
There is also the fact that as you become more influential the value of your influence increases proportionately. The offers for "selling out" just keep growing bigger as you grow more popular. It also becomes easier to convince yourself that you're not really "selling out" if you just take money for this or that. And, like any business, of course you do need to monetize somewhere.

It's just an unfortunate alignment that goes against the core thesis of the (great!) idea.
is it a malignant comment to point out that the royalty is a malignant influence on the United Kingdom?

Even so, it's a different era now. When Diana died, the TV and radio were certainly very different for a good week thereafter. Nowadays, even if most TV and radio changes its schedule, there's Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, 'catch up' services and all the rest, so you could very easily not be exposed to the national mood in the same way.
Nice! Any way to set previously read items with different CSS, so — as in the basic HN UI — you can tell at a glance whether you’ve already been there? Don’t see that option mentioned for either free or Pro.
Used it the past hour, I really like it. Thanks for making this.

Can you add the "past" section too? Also, it would be great if you add left margin indicator for comment threads, otherwise for long comment threads it is not clear how deep inside I am in the thread.
Do you really think Russia will ever pay reperations?

Sadly the situation is not simple nor is is black and white. This isn't some small state that invaded another one that can be forced to do something it doesn't want to.

It would be like arming the Iraqis and sanctioning the US to get them to leave. The only way the US would leave is when they want to, no matter what anyone else says and it's very similar with Russia. A large majority of Russians justify this invasion just as the US population supported the troops at all cost. The Russians are feed lies in their media and the US had embedded journalists white washing the horrors of war. There was even a period in the US where the media was forbidden from showing returning cofins of dead US soilders. [1]

Thinking this can be resolved by more sanctions and endless weapons is a fools aron and won't ever end this until either Putin retires or dies from old age. That can be another 20 years and even then it is a big if because his successor may continue with the conflict.

Since address validation is about blocking senders which forge their IP address, I think the number of connection attempts which where the client doesn't eventually validate its address should factor into the decision to enable this feature. This should rarely happen for legitimate clients (e.g. connection loss/cancellation during the first roundtrip) but always happen for IP address forgers.

Or perhaps simply use the number of half-open/embryonic connections as the metric.
I do understand the basics. Enough to understand, that most who do talk about crypto, do not understand at all, what they are talking about. (not directed at you)

And I could not explain the concept of cryptocoins to children either. Nor adults actually, unless they have a background in math.

I mean the concept of the blockchain, allright. Even people who do not know cryptoalgorithms can get it. But mining coins? You can mine gold, that is understandable, but mining numbers? How do you explain that in simple terms?
The phrase "you people" is a putdown and the entire comment was aggressive and rude. Please don't post like that to HN. If you review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, you'll see how much it goes against the intended spirit of the site.

Good question!

When I first announced Caddy in 2015 and the server got busy, it started downloading everything as .gz files. (facepalm) (good ol' days)

But that's just a fun story, not actually the reason we don't enable it by default...

The tricky thing about enabling features by default is that turning them off is awkward in config. And while we like to have "magic" in Caddy, we don't like too much magic. Plus, gzip performance in Go is less good (but more memory-safe) than it is in C and assembly. Klauspost's flate implementation is very fast and that's the one we use. But even with a super-fast implementation, gzip requires memory and CPU that busy servers may be in short supply of.

So it's opt-in for now. We can always change it later; going the other way is harder.

(Caddy also supports serving pre-compressed files, if enabled! And starting with Caddy 2.6, those can be teleported at the speed of electricity to HTTP clients using sendfile. HTTPS also sees faster file serving in 2.6 due to optimized copying.)

Kinda like that (maybe false?) story about the Stalin solving a problem during WWII involving same-diameter mortar shells and rockets getting mixed up in logistical orders (so, your unit needs mortar shells, but you receive rockets, and vice versa) by dictating that one be re-labeled with an incorrect (but unique!) diameter. Make it different enough that even a partial or partially-understood name is unlikely to be mistaken for something else.
> Both GE and P&W are capable of designing and building the engine, the question is which will make the business deal with Boom.

I think the bigger question is whether either of them will make the business deal with Boom, or if they both deem it too risky and too expensive.
In things like rest APIs you need them quite a bit to distinguish between a value being the zero value and not present at all. Most libraries I've seen have an IntPointer or similar function exposed globally.
The emperor of Japan has 125+ mil subjects.

States that recognize the British monarch as head of state: 67 mil (UK) + 38 mil (Canada) + 26 mil (Australia) + 5 mil (New Zealand) + others less than mil people = 136+ mil

So pretty close, but this appears to be a correct statement.
seems like a really random thing to clamp down on
Ah, then it fits even better. I could have sworn someone had been launching on borrowed Russian engines, but maybe that was Boeing.
How did you find said apartment? I'm assuming there was no dearth of applicants?

At least with market rate renting, there is always inventory. Hoping you are in a lucky enough minority to find an apartment doesn't seem like sound policy.
>If you build a more efficient engine

Even if you just build an engine on-par with everybody else. Or even just a bit sub-par. Not everybody wants or able or have use case for those large top of the line very efficient and very expensive engines from the top manufacturers. You can check out the global international drama during the last few years around Ukrainian Motor-Sich engine manufacturer - one of the main engine manufacturers from the USSR times. There are just too few of those engine manufacturers, even if sub-par, around for the current world demand. Anybody wanna make a startup for the engines, initially for UAS market? It is going to blow up after the war as drones have been showing their future dominance. And just look at that beauty (uses the Motor-Sich engines as Turkey don't have their own) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baykar_Bayraktar_Ak%C4%B1nc%C4... .
I would say that a brand-new rocket company making a rocket which can land itself would sound more implausible than what you're describing, if we didn't all know that it in fact has happened.

That doesn't mean Boom is that, however.
I think it's a joke, the punchline being the suggestion that that's what offended the demon in the story
Love this; really nice work. It's so much more readable. Older eyes thank you. I would upvote it just for having a lighter-charcoal background available for dark mode.

My one piece of feedback is this: the line height adjustment on the comment pages changes the distance between comments as well as the space between lines within comments, but I think those are better decoupled. I would like to see comments fairly close together while maintaining a readable line height for the comments themselves.
Not sure if it's quite what you're after, or if it's as good as it used to be, but php.net's documentation was PHENOMENAL back in the day when I was just getting started (~20 years ago).

Worst: My god, look at Apple. Where's the documentation on MacOS?!

EDIT: One thing I would suggest is to find a balance between skimmable documentation (nobody READS anymore, we don't have time or patience for that) and explanation (extracted structure/data types alone aren't nearly enough). Also, code samples! Code samples all the way! These are very helpful particularly for people that don't speak English as their native language. It's one thing to skim some English documentation and not quite "get it", but a code sample illustrating usage in a simple context can go much, much further.

US Congress has an almost 80% (!!!) disapproval rating. https://www.statista.com/statistics/207579/public-approval-r... yet people are basically lifers in there. The Japanese system was largely modeled after the US, so seems logical...

What's gender got to do with it? We abolished male primogeniture - William is the heir because he's the eldest, not because he's a man.
This is one of those things, though, where the boring position is that "relatively free markets are good, but markets also require some government intervention to function well". It's not exciting or edgy, and not at all simple, because it's tricky to figure out which regulations and how much are good, and how they should change over time and so on.
Judge slams Musk for withholding text messages, cites “glaring” omissions
As much as I love Enlightenment principles, I've learned with age that Reason is not enough for human society to flourish. People need something that goes beyond reason, or even explicitly against reason, to find meaning in their own existence.

A constitutional monarchy is an unreasonable construct, but its perseverance is a symbol of continuity and certainty in an existence that is so often chaotic and uncertain. It provides reassurance to many, and mutes the worst excesses of political turmoil. As long as it really stays out of the fray (and that's sadly not always been the case, with Elizabeth II, and it's likely her son will be even worse), then I don't have a problem with it. Like religion, I don't need it, you don't need it, but many do - and they might as well have it.
I don't think this thread is the one you should be using to proclaim your revulsion at monarchies.
Not to mention that she was the last monarch to have any memory of WWII and served as an ambulance mechanic. Now that generation that remembered the horrors of fascism has mostly passed and we find ourselves in a period that seems to have many echos of the 1930s with a new rise of authoritarianism and fascism around the world.
Very good points, that can't be ignored. Zig looks to be trapped in a niche. It's going to have a really hard time pushing past other low-level languages, and because its small and focused on that area, will not be able to compete with numerous high-level general-purpose languages that do more for users.

Add to that, Rust and Go have strong corporate backing, continually get lots of shine in the media, and often are given positive spin or ratings whenever compared to other languages.

As you mentioned Nim, look how far uphill it still has to climb, after the many years (around 14 years) it has been out. TIOBE Index doesn't even have Nim in their top 50, and they aren't even on IEEE's top programming languages list (of around 60 languages). This is just as likely the fate of Zig as well. Not saying some people won't find Zig useful for particular niches, but rather it will likely never be on the level of Rust, Go, D, Object Pascal, etc... or possibly even Nim.
the monarch doesn't rule over the UK, they reign

> Scotland wants to leave Great Britain

I'm not sure that's geologically feasible
Good point. Our current metric (number of active requests) is a bit naive, but mostly does the job essentially for free. If your proposed metric doesn't cost too much in memory, it might be a good fit.
I would say that massive adoption of smart phones and social media have been pretty big.

It may not be as big of a leap as no computers -> personal computers or no internet -> internet but I wouldn't say that the world is "not much different" than 2000.

Social media in particular has the potential to be extremely disrupting to society. There are things which seem possible that would have been unthinkable in 2000 like the fall of American democracy. And that sort of societal shift requires more than just the internet. It requires a hyper-online society which is enabled by smartphones and social media.
It's a great cover for her potential early mistakes.
> Public suicide, animal sacrifice, crime etc.

That's just normal in SF streets already lol.
This is surprising tbh. When they changed the act of succession to remove default male succession, part of that was negotiating changes in succession acts around the Commonwealth. This implies that some or even most of those are unconstitutional? Weird.

Anyways, it would be more surprising if the Commonwealth didn't lose a couple now and if a couple more didn't make plans for when Charles dies, which won't be all that long from now.

I wish Canada was one of those, but all I'm reasonably hoping for is that we drop monarch icons on our cash.
"Her reign spanned 15 prime ministers starting with Winston Churchill, born in 1874, and including Ms Truss, born 101 years later in 1975."

Unbelievable the history she was a witness to.
Safe to say that a double-degree in economics and computer science could be very valuable to a Silicon Valley firm.

I was curious about what Svelte "compiler magic" was so this is what I found (I may be wrong): The compiler wires up all the reactive JavaScript ahead of time, while Angular and React do it at run time. Svelte also does DOM manipulation directly and is fast because browsers have improved very much since React was first created. One of Svelte's taglines was "You don't need a virtual DOM". That said, I haven't used Svelte to see what kind of JavaScript it makes and how easy it is to reason about once compiled.
> I don’t know if this chapter will satisfy anyone, but one of my big hopes is that someday someone will write a book much like Code but about the Internet. I’m not going to do it. But if you do a good job, I will certainly buy a copy.

Does anybody know if there is anything that comes close to this right now?
I suspect there's issue with the term "freeloading". It doesn't really make sense for someone to make a business model where they give me something for free and then say I'm freeloading when I take the free thing and don't provide something (attention, time, whatever you want to call it) in return.

There wasn't really an agreement (implications do not make an agreement) where I will give some amount of my attention for the free thing and, in fact, the free thing was nominally offered to me as free.

The decision to publicly provide the content for "free" with advertisements was made without my input and coordinated without my help. The worst thing my ad blocker does is expose the difficulty with executing that business model.
Awesome, thank you for the clarification. It still looks like it would favor Amazon products but this can indeed be a coincidence.
Civil unrest is going to happen when you rule for 70 years.

When you say "extraordinarily cruel" then maybe you refer to the 2,100,000 to 3,800,000 Bengals you starved to death

The murder of 13 people (the inciting incident of the troubles) by the British army is not exactly comparable; even taking into consideration the total losses during that time of 3,500~, hardly comparable at all.

This is interesting especially with the whole thing surrounding Prince Andrew. You might expect a huge backlash against the royal family as an institution, and there has been some of that, but mostly: it's been relatively mild (against the royal family that is, not prince Andrew).

In the 90s (the only era I can remember) things were quite different too: there was the whole hubub about Camilla who was (IMO unfairly) extensively vilified in the media, had private telephone conversations with Charles were leaked. I'm not sure that would happen today; or if it did, it would get considerably less attention. Then there was the whole bruhaha about Andrew and Fergie, and let's not even start about Diana.

Maybe today Kim Kardashian or whatnot have taken the place for the "gossip inclined". Or maybe I just don't pay as much attention to these things as I did back in the day. But it seems like reporting is completely different.

As for punk: that's basically intended to offend innit? I'm not sure if you can really tell the general mood of the country from punk.
