I lost a month learning Bazel last year. Never again. Here’s a challenge: Create a Bazel built Angular library using only the publicly available documentation. Here, I’ll save you some time: You can’t.

What documentation exists is flawed and what isn’t flawed has massive holes. It was so bad that I had to ask a few Google employees if there was secret internal documentation somewhere. There isn’t, and, they almost all hated using it as well.

I went back to Make and had the whole repo building in an afternoon.

Bazel is a great idea but like most other Google OSS projects it doesn’t have strong enough documentation to form a community or enough of a community to create good docs.

Even if I brute forced my way into using Bazel, I couldn’t ask an employee to learn it.

I hear that Blaze is much easier to work with.
He doesn't say it was written while high. He is wondering if H knew the effects of psychedelics and maybe tried to replicate the feeling in the reader.
> How can a statement that is unprovable be true?

If you are a platonist and believe in some preferred model where every statement is decided this makes perfect sense. For the rest of us, this just means that in a sufficiently complex system there will be undecided statements. Which is not such a big surprise – but a rather awesome technical exercise!
> I just look people up who I’m really impressed by, see their history and combined with other research I find the patterns that got them where they are, and then develop goals for myself to surpass them.

I suppose that's a kind of "comparing yourself to others", but I think it's more accurate to say that's "learning from others" rather than comparing.

You are not assessing your worth based on the perceived worth of others. Your are spotting people who have accomplished things similar to what you want to accomplish and seeing how they got there.

Two entirely different things.
I liked the book, but didn't like Pirsig in it. I felt sorry for him for sure, but i'm not sure I could understand him and his reasoning for things.
It never/always will.

The acronyms are ever changing when you expand the scope to other industries and historical time periods. Big 5 Hollywood Studios of the 40’s, Robber Barons, Rockefellers, Telecoms of the 90’s are just a few that come to my mind without reaching for sources. But you could probably look back further at Rothschilds and the trade companies responsible for colonization and slave trade even. Anywhere, where disembodied capital seeks to maximize profits.

We’ve been here already, and we will again. Not much more than 15 years ago all of the companies in the GAMA acronym were companies we were mostly rooting for. Now they’re the “big ones.”

I don’t think there will ever be a single threshold moment to witness. Some of them will fade in or out, others will abruptly merge or splinter. They’re really just temporary holographic systems of meanings. The people, the talent, the product and capital move around dynamically.
Ask HN: What’s the best way to archive web sites?
What’s the preferred format for archiving static web pages composed of mostly text and graphics? I had been exporting some as PDFs on Safari, but now I’m wondering if for completeness I should save them in a more complete archive format via Chrome or a different browser.
The insult is the implication that thinking like this is somehow due to use of and exposure to psychedelics. Maybe some people need assistance in thinking deeply, Hofstadter certainly is not one of them.
Right, I was referring to the wholesale banning operation of the service, not the source code. Sure, you can print the source code on a t-shirt or something like DeCSS, but that's less relevant.
It sounds crazy but I wanted to start something similar to Linkedin way back in 2004 when facebook came out and we already had other personal social networking sites like hi5, friendster etc. I thought it would be cool to do it for professionals and career industry. Ah, my loss. Never acted on it :)

> You have no means of access to objective or balanced information. You can't read anything about Russia or Ukraine in the original uncensored form.

Does anyone? I never was under any belief that I did.

Excuse my understanding, but is it your assertion that there is unfettered access to uncensored information within Russia??
>If you facilitate money laundering, that is still illegal.

If that is your intent, then sure. But merely mixing funds does not meet the criteria for money laundering.

The road crew who builds the interstate knows 100% it will be used for money laundering, yet builds it anyway and does nothing to stop it. (Same for guys at the gas station who sell the gas). Surely knowing money launderers use something isn't enough to be criminally culpable.

>If you run the code in a way that nobody can interact with it.

IANAL and not legal advice, but it looks to me though that a fresh published contract of TC to new addresses doesn't violate this SDN list, even if it interacts with others.
Would love to chat with you about your experience with Galileo. About two years back we decided to NOT go with Galileo and went with another provider. Absolute trash too and now we're going to go looking around again - which at our current scale is not going to be pleasant. Would be great to trade notes (email in my profile).
80Gbps usb4 2.0 host-to-host connectivity is 32x faster. (2^5 magnitudes.)

Right. The context in question is I2O, since that’s the office that Mudge was a PM in. I’d expect other offices to have different expectations around clearances, particularly the ones that do ballistic or aerospace research.
Is TransferWise an option?
More moving parts reduces reliability.

Also, most laptops with collapsable ethernet ports do indeed fold down. I've seen dozens of them, but I've never seen a port like the one you posted (probably because it's a terrible idea, but maybe for other reasons).
Android is an even bigger pain, suddenly you have to call Java code just to map memory and can't even have a simple C api for something as low level as that.
I feel like people are pushing SQLite beyond its limits with this stuff. If you're going to do something like this, wouldn't just a normal client/server option like PostgreSQL be way more performant?

I think SQLite is fantastic, but this just smacks of scope creep.
Same. I've been pretty happy with Clay (https://clay.earth). They just rolled out a Facebook birthdays integration and between that and Linkedin / iMessage it has most of the people I care about seeing.
Hi! Book author here. I think the other comments were answering when the feature will be available in a stable release. No content has been written for this, and it's not entirely clear to me yet how best to work this into the book.

The RFC is probably the best documentation for now.
Maybe that's because the average tenure at google is so short?
This isn't great reporting. A much simpler explanation is that hedge funds betting on the outcome of the twtr/musk case are trying to understand the situation so they can make bets on the outcome of the deal.
I tried using Bazel a while back but immediately ran into a few issues.

The existing codebase I was working with did not lay out its dependencies and files in the manner expected by Bazel so dealing with dependency/include hell was frustrating.

Then there was a large portion of the project that depended on generated code for its interfaces (ie. similar to protobuf but slightly different) and trying to dive into the Bazel rules and toolchain with no other Bazel experience was not fun. I attempted to build off of the protobuf implementation but kept finding additional layers to the onion that didn't exactly translate to the non protobuf tooling. The project documentation seemed out of date in this area (ie. major differences in the rules engine between 1.0 and subsequent versions) and I couldn't find many examples to look at other than overly simplified toy examples.

All in all a frustrating experience. I could not even get far enough along to compile the interfaces for the project.
The difference between a forest and a tree plantation: in a forest the soil is wet, in a tree plantation it is dry.
how did you disable recommendations based off watch history?
I have no problems with psychedelics or their use. I took issue with the implication that they are needed in order to think in the way Hofstadter does - it's kind of like asking what flippers Michael Phelps uses when he swims in the olympics.
>“Last person standing” is not.

Was not.

I had no problem reading the title, and didn't even notice anything unusual about it until reading this comment.

Language changes. Complaining about it won't change it back.
I was introduced to both Dennett and Lem through 'The Mind's I: Fantasies And Reflections On Self & Soul', an anthology edited by Hofstadter and Dennett that I chanced upon in the university library. I recognized Hofstadter from GEB. I found 'I' very digestible, I admit that I still haven't finished GEB. It beckons me from the bookshelf.
> If you actually go back and research Unity's roots, they had the _exact_ inspiration and drive Godot did

Are you sure? Was Unity's team inspired to release an open-source game engine like Godot's team? This might seem like a nit-pick, but you do emphasize that their motives were _exactly_ the same.

It's hard to argue Godot will follow the same path as unity when Godot is open-source and Unity is not.
I've always preferred using PayPal for payment, but after this I'll start avoiding it and just use my CC directly when possible.

I think this is mostly because the core team has been working on 4.0 for a couple of years now so I would imagine that PRs get overlooked.
It's a popular project and there's not a lot of people on the team so yeah it builds up.

I have PR open since 2020 (small change for a bit of qol) still hasn't been merged and I believe that there will be major conflicts now.
Generics being a form of a compiler only dependently typed lambda axis is still infinitely more complex than chaining product & coproduct (sum) data types.
People hate to admit this, but it's true -- success requires a large amount of pure, dumb luck.

That's not to say intelligent effort isn't necessary -- it is -- but it's not sufficient.
Lately, I have only read about how the system was about to collapse and we should be ready for rolling blackouts. I'm happy to read this article since it's some of the best news I've read for a while. It gives me an understanding that there's a way to move forward. I'm glad to know that there are people that are managing the grid and are looking forward to see what might come. They aren't just waiting until the system falls a part. Thanks for posting.
There is already Webkit.js: http://trevorlinton.github.io/
You bring an interesting point. I completely admit that I didn’t research the source of the study or any refutations of it.

> The biggest cause of bankruptcies is lack of income, which health insurance doesn't affect.

An obvious counter observation: Isn’t an extended medical issue likely to cause a person to lose their job and health insurance?

Remember that in the USA most health insurance is company sponsored. When you lose your job, you either pay premiums at COBRA rates or you lose coverage.

And although it is illegal, companies do fire people (or find creative substitutes) for employees who are very expensive to cover.
>I take full responsibility for choosing that original path forward, and for the resulting changes today, which will be so difficult for our team.

What does "take full responsibility" mean? Is he laying himself off instead of the employees? Is he paying the employees he's laying off out of his pocket? Is he resigning so this doesn't happen again?

I'm confused how you can just say "I take full responsibility" without actually taking any responsibility. It seems like the laid off employees are taking responsibility.
Native Americans didn't have the means to offer any substantial resistance past the initial stages of colonisation in North America. The point is moot. That's not even getting into the fact that "Native Americans" only exist in the eye of the colonizer. It's not a people, a collective body with agency.

I'm not sure how they could act on the request to have a better storyline, other than just hire better writers. Blizzard always had... serviceable but not great plotlines (and well-loved characters, but IMO more as a result of character design and that kind of stuff, rather than plot).
Using gaze tracking with a CYOA-structured video or book permits another aspect of oral storytelling - noticing and adapting to listener interest. Attention focused on some character gets more scenes with them. Or the opposite?

For personalized science education, might one wander the richly interwoven tapestry of stories that is science, following one's interests? I've shown people IBM's stop-motion cartoon drawn with atoms, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSCX78-8-q0 , and they'd often ask about the ripples. IBM wrote supplementary content on them, perhaps because of such common interest. But when watching yt alone, its hard to engage, to follow up. Links in the description? Pop-up cards? With gaze tracking, one might notice the attention, and provide opportunity in that teachable moment. As if a mentor, tutor.

Gaze tracking without extra hardware is still rough. And patents. But slowly it's becoming something to explore.
No, I do not say that it's a hierarchy, in fact, that is almost the opposite of what I am saying.

What I am saying is that one should not treat information given for a socially useful purpose so as to discourage anyone from offering the information for that purpose.

If someone volunteers his DNA for research, you do not look for crimes using that information. If someone volunteers his DNA for a rape inquiry, you do no search for burglaries. If someone volunteers his DNA for a burglary, you do not use it in rape inquiries.

The goal is to treat information in a limited way in order to ensure that as much useful information as possible can be volunteered.
They didn't lay off their entire security team. What one person among the laid off ones thought to be 'security team' may not overlap with what their company had been doing since a long time. In startups, its not uncommon to have engineers who have been handling various responsibilities, including security (especially early employees).
Free will may or may not exist. But believing in free will is incredibly useful.
My company is big on "engagement" and they measure that in extra hours.
I would call this hacking, actually. Is it useful in a financially productive sense? Maybe, don't care. It's pushing a program we like past its limits. That's fun.
You could always take the approach of JRR Tolkien: come up with the name first, then try to figure out what the software will do from that name. In a hole in a database, there lived a hobbit.
You're looking for PUT.
Sure my bad; this is like someone on your LAN publishing your network traffic on the internet and twitter making it searchable and easier to catalogue.
I think specifically for multiplayer, you could handle non-visible chunks on the server and figure out a better way to update the client with what it needs, rather than requiring the client to handle the full simulation.

I know it’s a well optimized piece of software, but when you get into something like the space mod with multiple worlds, where chunks you might not deal with for a long time still tax you, you can see how there’s conceivably a lot that could be done.

So, yeah, wrong to say “under optimized”.

I’m also aware that they haven’t been optimizing for a massive multi-world server with tons of clients. I definitely don’t mean it as a dig or that they aren’t top class.
I'll repeat what I said in yesterday's thread.

I want to see SFP ports. Specifically SFP28 so I can stick in my 25gbit fiber modules etc.

There is no way to get SFP28 on a laptop to my knowledge as USB-C (yet, USB 4 could do it) is not fast enough. It has to interface directly with PCIe.
Please elaborate? Keep in mind that Rust isn't about making the simplest or most expressive language possible. Rather, it's about pushing the envelope on what sort of expressiveness we can soundly get away with while still benefiting from mechanical sympathy given the current state-of-the-art of optimizing compilers (and, also, while not being so foreign as to cause C-style language programmers to run away screaming).
At least Vernor Vinge gave a date range for the singularity. Initially, he said he would be surprised if it happened before 2000 and after 2020. I think he's moved that goalpost forward a decade or two since.

Kurzweil just says 2045, because that's where his chart or accelerating returns tells him it will happen.
Haven't yet gotten a single project using Bazel to build on any of my machines. I don't think I'd adopt a build system that is so frustrating.
I coded on Apple IIs, Atari STs, and early Macs, and I remember the 68k machines being quite a bit snappier than the Apple II. Keep in mind, the ST and Mac had a lot more to do in order to make a higher-resolution screen and GUI perform at all.

Also, the big reason the 68k eventually fell out of favor was because it (1) wasn't ready on time for the IBM PC, and (2) couldn't keep pace with Intel on the low-end.

EU: Proposed Artificial Intelligence Law Could Affect Employers Globally
I think there's a lot still to discover. E.g. recently I found out that it can do this (although getting the table aligned took a couple of refreshes):

Use pseudographics to render the following HTML:

<table border="1">
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Value</th></tr>
<tr><td rowspan="2">Foo</td><td>123</td></tr>
<tr><td>456</td></tr>
<tr><td>Bar</td><td>789</td></tr>
</table>

+-------+-------+
| Name | Value |
+-------+-------+
| Foo | 123 |
| | 456 |
+-------+-------+
| Bar | 789 |
+-------+-------+

So I guess we could say that GPT-3 also has some kind of simple HTML layout engine! I was particularly impressed that it got rowspan right.

I guess the next step would be to combine HTML with JS and see if GPT-3 has a mutable DOM...
Nice. I had another approach in mind but never actually implemented.

Systemd seems to report.network traffic stats for managed units. It spawns cgroups for units which among other things track network traffic.

Obviously the word "anything that you can achieve ..." in your quote is an exaggeration. It is quite obvious that fintech wants to simplify the banking process to basic daily procedures most of the people need (like money transfer and accounting), and ignore the rest. It won't be the first FinTech doing so and it won't be the last. But it is one where "we want to have a high quality API" is the unique selling point.
so, treasury management systems exist for big corps (FIS, FIServe, GTreasury, etc), and some banks do have legit apis for cash flow mgmt (payments transfers etc). i think problem is most dont want the hassle of supporting it for consumers.

> A non-zero amount of that legacy is due to regulations and compliance.

Although there's a kernel of truth there, it's far from accurate. Most of the legacy is due to the assumption of regulations and compliance. The truth is that most of the systems are in fact out of compliance, but as long as you don't touch them the likelihood of a serious audit is small. The complexity is more about erecting an impenetrable wall to make the auditor assume it's probably compliant.

It's essentially about overwhelming auditors with details to fatigue them. Not to dissimilar to when lawyers flood each other with documents in tv shows.

Original post said "To date, Godot follows the Blender story, not the Unity story" to which _manifold replied "The key difference is that Unity was a commercial venture from the start and Godot is a FOSS project."

My point was to point out that both Blender and Godot were commercial venture first and went FOSS. They did not start as FOSS ventures.

That Unity is not OpenSource yet is not really relevant to what I was trying to explain.

Of course she's deranged, she's stabbing people, but the point is that you still want her to report the rapist-- imagine that you were her neighbour, you'd want her to report burglary attempts, surely? Similarly with rape.

Whether she is reliable only matters for the investigation of the crime.

I don't see it as a matter of a privacy violation. I see it as a socially contra-productive act, a kind of perfidy-- like pretending to surrender and then attacking somebody in war or pretending to be a medic in order to attack somebody.
>Temperatures are pretty darn cold there too.

The average temperature of distant, empty interstellar space is considered to be 2.73° Kelvin above absolute zero.
