I don't know about you people, but this whole twitter thread pretty much sums up why I don't bother engaging too much in online communities whatsoever. I don't care what happened there and who feels offended or whoever should be excluded for whatever reasons. I feel if someone did something wrong we have an established system for this called court.

This whole public shaming and social justice warrior thingy feels to me just medieval wrong. This is also the reason why I like HN as here the focus is pretty much tech related which gives me somewhat peace of mind.
Here in Texas vanity plates can even get some limited symbols such as a heart shape. Makes for some interesting reading.

It’s expensive to maintain comparatively speaking, but I love my Office Space joke reference and once every 6 months somebody makes me roll down my window at a stoplight to ask if it really stands for “PC Load Letter” and when I confirm they laugh really hard.

I’ve got a habit of snapping pics of some clever or personal ones here in the DFW area. Maybe I should set up a sub stack or something.
Axure, another design and prototyping tool, uses a Subversion-style model, where you have both a cloud and local copy. You pull down the initial file, save it locally, then check out individual pages or components to work on before pushing them back up.

It means you have to manually manage the commit state which is a bit of a pain, but it’s good because you still have the file and can work on it if you can’t access the cloud for whatever reason.
Disregard the crate, write your own thing. Then have a look at the crate and compare notes. That’s how you learn. Just pretend they don’t exist for a while. This attitude has some other uses, too.
The problem is the unmaintainable code. The game doesn't take that long because of its scope, it's not exactly Dwarf Fortress.

If I remember correctly the code got leaked at some point and it wasn't a fun time for the developer.
It seems to me the dev was a beginner with a popular idea, leading to random people on the internet giving him money to work for a long time on a codebase that was too large for his experience and should have been thrown away and rewritten years ago.
Anyone can get into game development with low risk. Why start with the gargantuan task of a whole game? e.g. you could be making flightsim addons. Paint a few liveries or code a simple plugin and people will find value in it pay for it.
I never quite understand this mentality that many engineers have.

Instead of taking advantage of advanced language features and teach them to people, we more often than not create rules to avoid using them because "someone else won't understand it".

Why not grow people instead of lowering the bar?
that's nice claim, but for it to work you need to leak enough entropy, and you can check that on various sites.

Yes, also for anything else than subclass registration, there are things like the descriptor protocol or class decorators that are likely to be easier to use, debug and understand.

And metaclasses can be any callable, not just class. It's usually better to use a simple function.
I was visiting Birmingham when "safe" was taking off in England (2006?) but hadn't reached Scotland yet. Was talking to a random guy in a bar, and I couldn't understand why he was so insistent that Birmingham was "safe"
Well, say hi to 2014, thanks.

No one is "against the Oxford comma".

Some people are against the Oxford comma being mandatory, like me.

I would punctuate your phrase exactly as you did. And at the same time I wouldn't use it in situations where there's no benefit. You, just like all other grammatical devices

Fun fact: we are currently in an ice age. By definition, when ever there is ice sheets covering both poles we are in one.

The default state for earth is no ice over the poles (as far as we can tell)

The amount of ice also fluctuates wildly in an ice age. The ice coverage can be where it’s currently at (poles), all the way to an ice sheet covering half of the US and Europe.

But in the last 5 million years, there’s a cycle where ice sheet size and thickness increases, then decreases at a regular 100k interval. The last few thousand years we’ve been at a lower and decreasing end of ice

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age

The idea that we’d want to put the Earth back into an ice age when (1) that doesn’t appear to be the default for earth and (2) an ice age means less food — it’s an insane idea.

Scarier that any random old country could probably do this without consent of the globe.
Is "dude" quite as flexible, though? It seems to me like its generic use is only valid when you're actually just personifying an object. For example, with my phone I might say:

> Come on dude, why are you so slow

> My old dude lasted me 6 years

> I love this dude

But I wouldn't say any of these things:

> I lost my dude earlier, can you call it?

> I spent $600 on this dude

> Don't you have your dude on you?

I'm a Brit, reflecting on the American dialect I've picked up, so I very much could be wrong. I'd be intrigued to know if you really do use "dude" like that.
Can you elaborate? I have no idea what any of this means in context.
> IIRC the Chromium devs (...)

Chromium is hardly a compiler or tooling project. Even if their devs aren't hacks, appeals to authority based on their perceived expertise hardly make any sense.

Having said that, there is no better litmus test than showing something working. If Dr Stroudtrup strongly believes in C++'s ability to provide Rust-like memory safety guarantees, there's no better person than him to prove him right (or wrong). If he does not have a proof of concept in the works, he's not in a good position to substantiate his claim.
The ducklings swim formation one[0] is interesting and seems like really good work. Considering animal behavior is often adapted to engineering wouldn't be surprised if that study plays role in some future construction. An example given at the end of paper is water-train that could transport more cargo for less fuel.

I thought the exact same thing. If I had a dollar every time a company like this, e.g. Microsoft, promised the same thing...

Just look at Microsoft buying Activision, saying they won't make Call of Duty Xbox exclusive. A few months later Sony already pointing out changed that are being made that are going in that direction.

Honestly, anyone who believes that Figma will stay free for students is nieve, at best.
This is how I see it could work:

* Queries are encoded into sql and matcher functions

* Whenever data is mutated a change set is emitted - eg similar to immer

* This change set is used to generate SQL UPDATE statements

* The change set is also sent to matcher functions, the matcher functions update the query results accordingly

It's the last one. Every time I've been laid off, it started with can-we-talk/got-a-minute vagueness. Anyone who's been through that is going to think it's spooky af because its the sound of being 10 minutes from getting frog marched out the door.

The best explanation I can come up with (as an American) is that a large portion of Americans are incapable of rational thought when it comes to healthcare policy. They've somehow been led to believe that their system is run by the "market" and that that no system could possibly function better. The fact that many other countries do better does not matter. I find it best to analyze these people as if they were religious zealots rather than rational thinkers.
I really hope this, or something like it, ends up succeeding massively. Someone needs to put a bullet in SQL so that we can innovate properly in this space.
> excessive gaming is a waste of human potential and GPU's.

A lot of things humans do don't produce anything, but are just done for fun and are unfortunately bad for the environment. That would even apply to surfing if you want, it produces plastic waste in the end.

> but the only thing games ever actually did for me was learning how to mod them and getting programming experience from that

Isn't that just a case of "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"? You're dismissing the fact that it lead you to learn programming, which is a valuable skill for many careers.

Are you sure younger you would have been the surfer dude? I think there is nothing wrong with just not being that extroverted as a teen, not being the cool guy girls flock to. That's not something you just decide to be. Now you can obviously say it would have been better to be the cool dude and be really good at coding at the same time, but that's just hindsight and assuming an ideal outcome, and that's just not how it usually works. there's probably a lot of people in their 40s who have partied way too much, had girls and enjoyed life and now regret not having been more of a nerd instead because being in IT seems the foolproof way of making a lot of money, while they struggle.

And just for fun, let's imagine you'd have gone surfing once a week as a teen and taken the car to the beach, how much would an half hour car ride mean for environmental impact, compared to a gaming rig at 300W?
now that there's a glut of GPUs from the drop in demand from mining, there's likely to be people looking to use them profitably, and thus new innovation.

The dot-com boom bust caused a lot of dark fibre to be built - and i think the internet has been better for it. Without that dark fibre, the expansion of the internet wouldn't have been as easy and mainstream, as fast as it did.
This is a shame. There are some uncomfortable conclusions which one can reach hearing people in such dire positions being completely honest about what brought them there, but giving them a voice at all is incredibly valuable, even if what they say isn't necessarily what people who help them want to hear.

My uncle was a daily heroin user most of his adulthood. I remember him telling me one of his only regrets is not finding heroin sooner, it was the only thing that made him happy. It brought (synthetic) joy into a life which a poor, short, confused, single man in rural ON never would have experienced otherwise. He spent the last couple years of his life shooting up in a cheap rural cottage, financially supported by the government and his extended family. He overdosed many times and died young of cancer, but I do wonder how his story would be interpreted by my more progressive colleagues who like to talk about addiction as if all we need to solve the problem are safe injection sites, less cops, and more lenient sentencing. He had the safest injection site imaginable and the incredibly lax Canadian drug laws; it seems like what he needed most was to be part of a society which didn't encourage and enable his choices. I think finding a woman who loved him, even if just for a fleeting moment, might have helped him too. More than anything, I wish my parents had kept going back and hadn't given up and listened to the advice the government workers gave, which was that some people are beyond help, and providing them with their fix and a place to shoot up is the best thing you can do.

Tim was my godfather and my favorite uncle growing up. He's the one who told me some people's brains like drugs so, so much more than others, and if I can, to stay away from them. I miss him all the time.

I think channels like Soft White Underbelly are great because they allow people to form opinions on complicated, human-centric topics without the political and social commentary that come when big corps try to enter the arena. Trust me, if Fox, CNN, Disney, or Buzzfeed were trying to tell Tim's story, you would essentially end up watching an advertisement for an American political party.
its interesting to see how this differs from my own experience, from a time without game engines, 3d graphics libraries, the internet or even books for reference.

the point about actually finishing things is a great takeaway. the first game i finished /myself/ took a week, then got another week of post-launch attention... but that was after some 10 years of personal work to develop the skills, then another 5 years or so in the industry gaining experience.

i probably could have done this earlier, but i was constantly setting my sights higher than what was realistic.... but actually the lessons from doing that were pretty invaluable. today, i'm more than capable of filling any role in any of the specialised areas of programming required for games to an expert level... and a lot of that knowledge came from trying to build AAA quality features in isolation with little support - finishing features or engines rather than whole games.... so as much as i agree with the conclusion, i'm not sure it would have helped me to learn it sooner :)
There's a lot of recent youtube and other content covering the situation if you google Lima's name with Amanda.

Patient brokerage is a serious area of organized corruption within our medical system and it's disgusting.

Lima's program has a 6 step process where step 1 is "conservatorship or jail".
Honestly, I don't think Google cares per se. They just don't want the hassle of another adpocalypse. The issue comes from advertisers not wanting to be seen promoting certain things. Like if you're advertising insurance you don't want some group of self rightous people to not use your service just because you advertised on YouTube and they showed that video next to a stripper talking about doing coke in the bathroom.
Ask HN: Resources on the Design of DTrace?
Can anyone recommend any useful talks, slides, documents, clones, etc.. of DTrace that would help me get up to speed with how DTrace does what it does so efficiently?

I plan to learn from reading the open source code, but I’d like to at least have some idea of its internal design, before I do.

Apart from a talk by Arun Thomas, can anyone recommend anything? Thanks.
Revolut offers this. They are available in the EU.

It seems Wise (ex TransferWise) offers this in the USA.

there truly is strength in great slogans/words. Like the Great Resignation before, Quiet Quitting has a certain ring to it that just encaptures the mind. Both concepts are a little nonsensical, but have enough truth in it to garner readers.

Or said otherwise: they are simply great clickbait word creations.

Are they seriously burning round bales that could be used for feed for heating?

The comments flip flop a lot, some say it's useless for feed but it kinda looks ok.

But even if it was used for something else, to change over to burning it is concerning.
This is the reason it’s gaining popularity.

I can't read that sentence no matter where you put the commas, I thought there were 4 entries until I spelled it out to make this comment and wondered why my list was short.
Figma has amazing collaboration features but working on larger projects on figma is terrible. It gets very glitchy and doesn't match the responsiveness of XD in my limited experience.
> Youtube can never prove certain ads will never play on certain videos

Er, what? Sure, they absolutely can, and your god analogy is... not actually analogous. Perhaps YT has chosen not to build a system that allows them fine-grained control over allowing -- or not allowing -- specific ads on specific videos, but that's not the same thing.
> On the other hand, we also recognise that we can’t force people to work with those they don’t want to.

Yes and no.

There is no better way to train sheeple - and in fact get their support - digital IDs, "personalized carbon allowance" and other components of EU's Big Leap Forward.

Wow - https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/ is a really useful resource. I would use this not only for usenames, but from brand-names. They are quite a few whihc can be registered as .com
I quite liked Prisma when I used it, I'm glad someone brought it up.

The issues with Prisma are that it had moderately weak support for Typescript, and doesn't robustly support related data querying (inc. recursively), or exotic inter-object relations (e.g. many-to-many with join tables, etc.).

As I said, a lot of the ORMs you find out there tend to be quite simple, missing some QoL features.
Lee actually looked at HAProxy when we were building the first prototype of Cloudflare but found he could get better performance and extensibility from NGINX. Things obviously evolved, but we considered HAProxy early on and decided to go another way.

It’s anything. We have books and workshops for erotic photography (tiny percentage, below 1% of books and about 5% of workshops). Just those trigger the algorithms to lower brand safety ratings if they are allowed to show up on the same page (even if the ad is at the top and the book-cover is shown several pages of scrolling below)
Damn. That gameplay looks tight. Keep up the good work!
This was the Graf Zeppelin, probably the most accomplished airship ever built. In addition to this mission, it circumnavigated the Earth in 1929, and offered regular passenger service between Europe and Brazil through the 1930s.
I'd love to be able to go to a model of: You like Rust? Welcome!

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog. If you want to do something cool, I don't care if you're male/female/nonbinary/black/... You can be an purple with orange speckled snail, for all I care.

Now I've seen how e.g. some female gamers were treated, and it wasn't pretty. You should be able to play a game online, without being invited for sex or screamed at every few minutes. That kind of behaviour is very clearly not OK.

But neither is it OK for people to scream their sexual preferences around and demand my attention for it. Go ahead, fuck with who you want, but leave me out of it. Give me the permission to not care about your gender identity. Starting to scream at people because they think 'people who menstruate' is ridiculous, that's also not OK.

So please, do something cool, react if you notice something not OK. But also care for individuals, leave room for multiple opinions and don't start a witch hunt for any minor or even imagined faux pass. Live and let live.

I wouldn't say that's true
Saying massively corrupt to me looks like either cheery-picking or exaggeration
Personally I find the style and whitespace defaults in matplotlib to be surprisingly displeasing. It always looks like "I just threw this together—I'll fix it later." Sure, you can fix it, but it's a huge fight.

PyX is a much better alternative. Like TeX, everything you make looks great.

The ampersand syntax is extremely common in Elixir code - absolutely the kind of thing you'd write every day. If your Elixir developers find the ampersand stuff hard to read, you've hired the wrong Elixir developers.
I think in a ideal world it would be possible, but people won't stop writing C in C++, and that makes static analysis quite hard.

It helps to provide some context when making comments like this. Most HN readers don't follow YouTube drama, so at least suggesting what you think the criminal charges would relate to would help a lot.

To help others, the first result I found about this Lima Jevremovic character was:

> Founder, Lima Mora has lived through the implications of severe mental health illness first hand through loved ones. The Jevremovic Institute of Behavior and Brain Sciences (JIBBS) was bloomed from a desire to create tools to improve mental healthcare, research and innovations and make those tools available globally to all that need them.

A Mixed Reality Experience Designer, Mora specializes in Digital Health. She is well known in the tech community for her speaking engagements and role as an ambassador for bridging innovative technology with healthcare and providing insight on the emerging markets of VR/AR and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Seems like another entrepreneur trying to make it in the exhausting scene of health digitalization. What am I missing here?
When I was right out of college I worked with a guy who had a PhD in philosophy and had studied Kripke closely. He was working in software at the time because it’s hard to make a living as a philosopher. He gave me one of his extra copies of Naming and Necessity. I had never read any philosophy and I was amazed.

Kripke was truly a brilliant philosopher.
That's what makes the panopticon so disturbing. You can't (or at least shouldn't) ever feel entirely safe/free because the threat is always looming and strikes at any time. I think on some level most people do realize that, even the ones who have never known things any other way, and I think it's only getting harder and harder to ignore. Difficult to say what it's been doing to us though. There' are a lot of other things contributing to the background level of dread these days.
Both are to blame.
