To me being able to keep the entire language in my head is invaluable. When working with Go for example I know that I can dive into the bowels of some library dependency and I will be able to read it and figure out how it works. This is because the language encourages straightforward code and has very little magic. The code does what it says.

We have to deal with complex libraries no matter of how big or small the language is. A small language that you can keep in your head makes dealing with them easier.

I would also argue that smaller languages lead to more consistency not less simply because there are fewer ways to do things. Look at early Python vs modern Python for example. In very early Python (pre-2000 or so) there was actually "one and preferably only one obvious way to do it". Modern Python with all the features it has grown over the decades is the exact opposite of that. C++ is another obvious example.
Sonix.ai does a good job, though I don't know how it is for integration with meetings etc., it's aimed more at audio/video producers.
Almost no taxpayers have that kind of income though. Most everyone just has W2 and maybe some 1098/1099s.
"and timed how long it took them to write an HTTP server in JavaScript"

OK ... interesting choice. This could mean almost anything. I can "write a web server" in a python 1-liner in about 2 seconds (ctrl-r SimpleHttpServer, enter).
It will be free for 2 years. However I really hope they make it usable even if you are not paying for the subscription. Imagine being shut out in an emergency situation because your card expired.
Oh, wow, Dynamic Island - how innovative... if you've never seen a non-Apple smartphone!
Most people probably don't know this but SQLite is used under the covers for most Mac OS applications like Photos and Mail. Been that way for a long time and lets you do some interesting data mining.

I find one thing that sort-of works for me is to stop often and prompt questions from the audience.

Repeated dead silence means (to me) that no-one is interested.
I don't see how this would make it more mainstream, it might boost adoption, but link them even more to what the mainstream sees as "bad guys".
I really wish Zig had closures and interfaces/traits. You can emulate them in hackish ways, but UX is awful and as there isn't a uniform way, there's next to no compatibility with regards to libraries. As is I'd rather just use a heavily restricted version of C++.

Partisanship is more of an issue than politics. Almost everything involves politics.
It is indeed a problem, however just for a few days in the year, most of the winter there's no issue. From your link:

> The German weather service estimates that it happens on the average twice each year, that the power production from wind and solar in Germany is less than 10% the expected average for at least 2 days. Every once in a while these situations can last a week or longer.
Neat but the phone isn’t super robust. I’d hate to have to rely on it in extreme emergencies. A dedicated tracker is better as it can survive in cold and other serious conditions. That being said you are more likely to have the phone on you which is a big deal
I think they are opposed. Writers hiding research secrets because they don't want to help the competition seems to be as useless as wannabe founders hiding their idea for a business because they are afraid someone will steal them. It is much more likely that this secrecy is hurting more than helping them, as they don't have some feedback on how to improve the idea.

Also, the existence of secrets among humans due to competition seems to be a moot point. Bringing the discussion to the original point, if said competition prevents the existence of a writers' HN, I believe that is completely false. HN is good for entrepreneurs. The fact that they don't share their sales leads here doesn't matter at all for the existence and quality of HN.
Kissinger was saying more or less what Chomsky was saying at the beginning of the year. The hysterical hyperbole you mention is from the author of this thread.
Ah, I see. If it helps you, that's great. Apologies if my comment hindered that for you.

Unfortunately it just makes me indignant/kinda depressed.
How is w=add(u, v) more explicit than w=u+v?

Because operators "should not be function calls"?

That would make zig unusable on soft float/soft div architectures, or would have to get rid of / for division and operators for floats.

But I would also assume add() is inlined and not be a function call in a sane language/compiler, so the explicitness even falls apart from the start.
Blah. I travel internationally quite a bit and a physical SIM is a must-have. eSim carrier support is getting better, but it's by no means 100% globally yet. Currently running dual eSim and a SIM from different carriers. I crossed a border for a few hours this weekend and the secondary SIM picked up without a hitch.

I wonder if you can run dual eSIM.

For anyone wondering, '1' * 4301 creates a string of '11111....' 4301 characters long. It doesn't result in an integer value of 4301 like in some other languages.

I find this a strange modification to the language, though probably not a particularly painful one. Has python saved you from yourself when dealing with non-linear built-in algorithms before? IIRC it is also possible to have the regex engine take an inordinate amount of time for certain matching concepts(I think stackoverflow was affected by this?), but the engine wasn't hobbled to throw in those cases, it is merely up to the user to write efficient regex that aren't subject to those problems.
This doesn't go far enough! If you really believe in equality, we need to have a flat tax on everyone. Each person should just pay $1000 per year, and that's it. That is truly fair. /s
Bosnia is also majority muslim.

Also, consider that a quarter (half?) of Albanians and Kosovaars have left for Germany and other places in non-muslim Europe and are fairly well integrated.

How is it that the MEK prefers Albania when Albanians themselves prefer to leave?

What's unique about Albania is not that they are muslim, but the stratospheric corruption of the country. Its makes the country a very useful dumping ground for certain problems NATO encounters (chemical weapons, laundering, terrorists)
So, its a paid service then.
That is unfortunate. I am mid 30s, and if someone did not have iMessage, we would simply switch to WhatsApp.

Although, I can see there being an issue if someone was not using iMessage or WhatsApp.
Fossil fuels are not just used for energy generation, and there are more players that must cooperate for some global space based energy generation solution.

Current governments are helping the big oil and coal lobbies more than trying to move to renewables. And probably the money behind oil and coal will try to obstruct the success of such competition in different ways. So no, not a lot of players will cooperate there.

And that, assuming that it will work as intended, that won't be accidents of any kind, that will be possible to actually do that massive launch, and other things that may not work in practice.

Yes, is a nice looking idea, we can buy the idea of giant shades floating in the sky generating clean energy for all the world. But humbler solutions may be within our reach, if we accept to slow down and change our lifestyle/economy/etc. Anything that try to sell us magic without changing the roots of the problem may be more a delay/distraction tactic than a solution at all.
Since we're on the topic, which is one I have put some thought on, allow me to put forth my theory on how time travel as a business would work:

* How would it feel: You and your fellow audience will be comfortably placed in a force field bubble that will (1) allow you to watch the event of your choice freely but (2) will make you invisible to all lifeforms you are observing; unfortunately (3) you will not be able to interact (talk with observed people, give/take anything to the observed locales etc.) and (4) cell phones and other recording devices are prohibited. This is to ensure safety and avoid any time paradoxes. Refreshments are served during the visit. For anthropological time-scenes simultaneous translation (if possible) will be provided.

* How much would it cost: Everybody, of course, has a long list of historical events they'd like to observe. Pricing of the visit depends on how many people would like to visit a particular time-scene (e.g. Caesar's stabbing). Only selected time-scenes are available. For customers that prefer to visit a locale over an extended amount of time, e.g. how did migration from Africa happen over 10,000 years, a time travel as a service pricing will be getting. Another factor that will increase pricing is the environmental violence of the event, e.g. one of the priciest time-scenes to visit is the Chicxulub impact, which is the limit of current safety technology, i.e. visiting the Theia impact is not supported.

Some suggested time-scenes that are top rated include:

* Natural/zoological time-scenes: Chicxulub impact (highest rated ever event), start of the Zanclean Flood (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanclean_flood), Wet Sahara (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_humid_period), this is one of the most affordable visits, first steps of a vertebrate on land (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebrate_land_invasion), typical day in the Upper Cretaceous period (at least one sighting of a T-Rex is guaranteed)

* Anthropological time-scenes: Cleopatra's suicide, fall of Constantinople (single day, package for the whole siege is available as is visits to all 34 sieges over time), Socrates presenting his defense (can be combined with his suicide for a discount), conclusion of the Battle of Thermopylae (single day, package for all three days available)
There was a test suite to work against, so some standard notion of things that needed to be in place to be 'working'.

For the majority of Americans, they know… Most Americans don’t have passive income streams or investment income. Most Americans, for a given year, don’t have a change in living scenario (marriage, kids, etc). The majority of tax filers take the standard deduction.
Need a little more detail. Why is that a problem?
It's unfortunate you were downvoted. Perhaps it's because you're self-promoting, but you were up front about it and your pitch was relevant and focused on user needs.
Oops I didn't explain clearly. Take this code:

pub fn abc() -> usize {
#[allow(deprecated)]
"abc".len()
}

I want it to complain about the "allow", because there was never any deprecated warning emitted in the first place. Maybe it would be called #[expect(deprecated)]

I refactor code all the time and find these stray "allow"s that aren't doing anything anymore

Craft looks interesting, thanks for the reply!

Using obsidian+git is definitely possible, but it doesn't really get to the seamless collaborative feel that I'm looking for. Looking into Notion again, it seems like they've imported more ideas from Roam et al. and might be worth another look.
> If your bread and butter is implementing projects for dishonest cs students, that would make a lot more sense.

Ok, I'll be honest, I never thought of that. Thank you.
the dynamic island does actually look like a neat UI/UX that transforms what would be a weakness into a strength (of course it's not enough by itself to upgrade for though). edit: it also looks like it would be a fingerprint magnet for the front camera (though i don't really do selfies, so not a big deal for me).

the higher 2000 nits outdoor peak brightness also piques my interest, as brightness has become a problem on my old iphone.
I don't think the license is too important as there's always a chance the software gets abandoned instead.

Rather look at how many organizations are paying for contributions. If it's all resting on a single back there's increased danger.

Still, the only way to guarantee continued development is paying for it (or doing it yourself).
But almost no one claims those kind of dependents. And furthermore, the government could just say, "last year you claimed these people as dependents, and we checked and they're all still alive, so we'll assume they still are".
I ended up disabling it in the beta. It ended up getting in the way more often than not.

No, I'm not overlooking that. I pointed out that an hour door to door is a very long commute, and just used one example to demonstrate how far a 1 hour commute takes you.

Here's the actual data:

New York City's average commute time is the highest among US cities, and it's still well below an hour:

Zig isn't "watertight" like Rust, but the memory safety is still much closer to Rust than to C or C++, just because Zig enforces a lot more correctness in the language, and because of runtime checks. And a lot of memory corruption issues in C and C++ are actually side effects of C's and C++'s fairly relaxed approach to things like integer conversions, over/underflow, range checking etc... these are all points that Zig covers (for some of those things even when compiling C/C++ code because of the much stricter default compile options than regular C/C++ compilers).

(disclaimer: Zig has or had some pretty big holes around escape-checking function return values - that's something that even C compiler are warning about these days, at least for simple cases - but apparently improving this aspect is on the todo list).
Nothing we did truly changed their path and they can complain about us destabilizing their new democracy 70 years ago but they control their destinies...

If they lost their democracy, they don't control their destinies. All the executed, prisoners, 10 y.o. girls, etc. seem to have very little control.
I would love for you to go one layer deeper on how pricing externalities is a converging geometric series.
Attribution can be difficult with IRL attacks too. So you can't be sure about every attack, but you're often sure about some of them because secrecy is hard.

For example: Stuxnet was one of many responses to Iran's nuclear weapons program. Another response was, allegedly [0], assassination of some senior scientists. Attribution is still disputed about the latter, but not the former.

Most code is not executed a zillion times by hundreds of millions of customers.

Most products are not concerned with squeezing in as many transactions in a minute as possible.

All of those have their time and place. B2C codepaths used by all normal users in their most common daily usage? sure. HFT platform? sure. Pretty much anything else? You're probably spending more in dev salary than AWS savings and getting sniped by a competitor.
That's not true: Other countries pull it off without issue. Where I am, the tax agency has a calculator, and it includes most basic stuff. Your employer collects your tax rate from the tax agency (who lets you know that someone is getting your information and stuff).

Taxes are complicated for the average person in the US because the US government makes it that way and so far, has been unwilling to act in your interest.
I'm most annoyed that they've locked competent GPS tracking behind a $799 price tag. It's the one reason why I didn't get an Apple Watch originally. It was consistently less reliable and inaccurate in weird ways than similarly priced Garmin and others.
Sure they do. They would send you a bill, you'd say, "hey I bought a furnace", they would deduct from the bill and you'd pay the rest.
Even if the IRS doesn't know, for most people the difference between the right answer and the answer the IRS has despite missing some data isn't enough for either to worry about. My bank reports my stock trades, my company reports income. My state already collects mortgage information so it wouldn't be hard to send that on. Sure I could build a widget in my garage and not report taxes, but either I'm doing so little of this that it not worth the IRS's time, or I really need to become a real business and get an accountant to report this while dealing with the other complexities of finance.
OT, but as someone who's never used Bazaar, how does this work?

Yeah, it's made to feel like strlen in a way.
Sentinel types are mostly used with C code. That way strlen(some_string) == some_string.len.
Sorry, no, it was more that it was a bit of a garden path sentence (not quite, but cognitively). But I'm hoping a more interesting comment bubbles to the top of the HN thread, it was a bit of a throw-away comment.
We're currently beta testing something that fits this use case directly. The models we have today are really great at capturing the original distribution, but they're not always the fastest. This new stuff will change that, feel free to reach out (maybe on our slack?) and we can see if we can get something working
Stories like these make it seem so much more plausible that an evil villain's volcano lair would have a self destruct button on the main control console.
They would send you a bill, you'd say, "hey I bought a furnace", they would deduct from the bill and you'd pay the rest.
Not always. I used taxAct last year to file, as I always do. I paid what I was told I owe by the software. I just received a tax refund in the mail. Just a check with a memo reading "tax refund", no explanation.

Further, that would be true anywhere, since no system is immune to tax fraud or improper communication.

> But even then the claim was that prices would come down eliminating most of the cost of the tax (due to no taxes on businesses including payroll taxes)

We actually frequently try lowering corporate taxes. What we find is that prices stay high, wages stay low, but profits increase. Crazy.
> If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that you can't prevent bad code by enforcing lint errors.

I completely disagree, I regularly catch mistakes/bugs in my own code due to enforced linting errors (both locally and in CI), and just in the past few months I can recall numerous instances where CI linting caught bugs in teammates' code too.

There are both false positives and false negatives with linting, but that doesn't make it useless at all.
Behind the scenes, I think you'll find that this is a legal and liability issue. US Title 26 makes you and your agent legally responsible. If the IRS calculates your taxes for you, then they are acting as your agent and the IRS can't act as your agent of course. There's also a CYA aspect, as the government managers involved don't want to be responsible for errors and omissions.
Banks are obligated to report the holdings you own, brokers are obligated to report both what you own and any gains/losses you have endured over the year, land and home ownership is also reported, many deductibles are reported (f.ex. daycare is a deductible and that is automatically reported). Basically most things are reported automatically and if there's anything else, like a long commute (which for some unknown reason is deductible), there is a simple form on the web site you can fill.
Both at once.
I'd hope if you're in a life or death situation, and not paying, they'd still let you use it. Imagine finding a dead body in the wilderness with a note saying they could've called for help if apple let them. Seems very tricky to profit off something like this while still 'doing the right thing'.
Making hydrogen out of thin air
If you need to make integers this big from decimal representations, I guess you could still use gmpy2.mpz(), and then either leave the result as an mpz object (which is generally drop-in compatible with Python's int type, with the addition of some optimized assembly implementations of arithmetic operations and some additional methods), or convert it to a Python int by calling int() on it.
You know you can log in and see what the IRS knows, right? They make that available to you in their portal. They post it after the tax deadline though, but you can go back and see what they knew about you in previous years (the forms they got, not what you filed).
I've gone back and forth in my life on this. I think we need parallel AC and DC so we can support loads that are inductive. Send 48V in parallel with 110V AC and invent a socket that gives you either one

Long distance (including room-to-room) distribution of low voltage DC power is inefficient due to I^2*R losses in wiring unless impractically large wire sizes are used. There may be some marginal efficiency gains to be had with high voltage DC supply and DC-DC converters in electronic devices (this architecture is used in some datacenters) but house-wide distribution of say 5V is impractical.

Even within a system the size of a desktop PC, the architecture that has been determined to maximize efficiency and cost savings is an AC-to-12VDC power supply box, feeding additional DC-DC converters that produce the necessary logic supply voltages (~1.2V) as physically close to the actual load as possible.
