> These are very expensive machines

Both to purchase and maintain. Some operators depreciate ~usd70/hour.

> they'll probably start to be battery powered

Expensive machines are typically worked hard (long hours) when they are working. They need to keep working to make them pay. They typically work in forests not near the iTesla charging point by Starbucks.

When working, fellers are ferocious. The cabs are basically bulletproof.
If this passes, basically what's going to happen is a lot of pre-filtering of people entering social networks akin to next doors strategy.

I've worked at a civic tech social network that had no rules, and eventually the extremists pushed out all the normal folks - it's just stupid shouting matches. We tore it all down and made isolated communities. It's basically the only way to have real discourse.
Sorry, can you explain the turnaround to me? What’s the relationship between Citizens United and this?
I bought one of these from Amazon last year and I've received two warning emails from Amazon, along with a refund. My use case is connecting a portable generator to my house. It's all completely safe if you know what you are doing. You turn off the main breaker (between the meter and the AC mains connection), then you plug one end of the "suicide cable" into some outlet, and the other end into the generator output. Another related use case is to connect the two different phases together so the generator can power the whole house instead of half the house. For that you need two of these.

They are. They opened the floodgates of coddling advertisers. Before they did, no one listened to them at all.
No, but people who live in big cities tend to advocate for solutions that only make sense in big cities. It's certainly worth keeping a bit of perspective.

SCOTUS also ruled that the 1st Amendment allows compelling a mall (a private entity) to host petitioners, which is strikingly similar to this case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruneyard_Shopping_Center_v._R...

> Given the sheer number of pamphlets and broadsheets around that timeframe, there were probably far, far more printers then than you expect.

Yes, but they didn't digitally transmit from one printer to another to spread "news." The speed of horse was the fastest news traveled. I'm not sure the end number of printers means much on its own.

> Letters, prior to the postal system, were typically sent with friends, servants, acquaintances, slaves or travelers. Sending a letter 100 miles away took as long as two weeks.

I think quite literally lots of things are political. This discussion is political. Anything to talk about h1b visa is political. Immigration is political. The most offensive speech is arguably political speech, such as advocating for genocide.

I'm waiting for a web first mobile experience. I don't think web pages are the problem, mobile operating systems are. They should, fundamentally, just be browsers. The desktop has space enough for two layers of operating systems - "the" operating system, and the browser. But on mobile that's too confusing.
Exactly! Frontend, backend, or desktop monorepo structure for Java, Rust, Typescript, etc:

/src
/lib
/mysql-common
/redis-common

/services
/app-1

/...

You can use other directories to group assets, database migrations, documentation - whatever. The core build, test, CI, etc. tools can live in the root.

The ability to share common code and not have to worry about packaging internal libraries, versioning them, and rolling out updates n-many times is a game changer.
If you have a society where there is that clear distinction in between the 51% and 49%, then you dont have one country. You have two countries. Its not applicable.
Gosh, you have squeezed in so much stuff which I disagree with, I can't answer that properly.

Suffice to say that this glorious new world mediated by the benign TwitFace excludes some people from the town square, without banning them. For example, I am excluded, because I choose not to use them, because I don't trust them. I never have, and I've never had an account with either. They're also exclusive, because they depend on "the user" having access to a network and a device, and the ability to use the device, and express themselves. [Edit] Oh, and of course there's the ToS.

There's an awful lot of privilege in there.

What's funny is that none of the big tech firms would need to change their policies or behaviors, should this actually become the law of the land, as there are currently no policies that prohibit political speech from any of their platforms.
Agree with all of your points. It is also worth examining how monetization changes the kinds of videos that get created, and the way content creators cater to their audiences for maximum engagement.

> How does webassembly <> backend communication work? I imagine it's somehow websockets. How do you proxy websocket connections to the appropriate backend?

I don't think there's much public info about this, besides what you can infer from looking at what goes over the wire (zstd-encoded binary messages). But to your question about routing wss connections to the appropriate backend, we've been working on a proxy/DNS server that does just that (by giving each backend its own ephemeral hostname). We've talked to some Figma engineers and at least on a conceptual level they do something similar (although their routing is path-based rather than DNS-based).

Regarding email, it's still possible for practically every other mailserver on the Internet to block messages from you, effectively banning you. That's what happened to OP I believe.

On the second one you might want to look further into that case... people have been frantically going after every possible company that does any business with them trying to get them off the internet, whether that's hosting providers, DDoS protection services, IP allocation providers, upstream ISPs, nameservers, domain registrars, etc.
Drilled water heat pumps cost far more than you save to install. Air exchange heat pumps don't work in cold weather (that is, cold where I live, ymmv).
I released TXR 282 with NaN boxing support. The pre-built binary for Android doesn't use it though; I discovered late in the release process that on Android's Bionic Libc, pointers are coming out of the heap with 64-bit-wide values like 0xb40000NNNNNNNNNN. So, swift crash in early startup. I will research into this for the next release.

Anyone finding things dead in the water like this has to use ./configure --no-nan-boxing.

Another issue I ran into is that when I tested with gcc 12.2 on a RISC-V machine, the double to integer conversion code threw a weird uninitialized warning, not just the warning about strict aliasing against the use of u in the second line:

ucnum u = coerce(ucnum, num) - NAN_FLNUM_DELTA;
return *coerce(double *, &u);

I added pragmas to suppress that. Anyway, everything built and tests passed on that installation.

It will work if your unsafe code does not actually opt-in to any unsafe features-- in which case you would not actually need an unsafe block. If it does use any of those however, it's very easy to break the expected preconditions of safe code and create unsoundness, e.g. around references (since code written in safe Rust has little use for raw pointers) or properly initialized data (Rust expects you to use MaybeUninit<> whenever data may not be properly initialized but that's a mere wrapper, which can only be removed by unsafe code).
Well, it may be possible for you to simply not talk about politics, but for folks who have their rights stripped away, their water made undrinkable, their loved ones ripped from them or shunned for simply existing, should they also not talk about that with others?

I doubt most folks who talk about politics really "want" to, as much as they feel a responsibility or need to do so out of compassion or even desperation. Nearly everyone would prefer if we all could just get along, but we don't get along, and pretending we do seems like a great way to just allow the majority to steamroll the minority.

I agree, and would like to note that there isn't a need to simplify C++ imo. It's folly from a business and productivity standpoint to use one language, especially C++, to do everything from writing web apps to doing exploratory data analysis.

Besides, the C++ community seems to overlap with academia by way of its feature updates, reveling in complexity (e.g. "C++20 ranges are totally awesome: memory-safe and performant iterators!").
That may be a little too harsh. I will say for me that startups are not able to provide the work experiences I’m interested in due to their size

> ... because too many keep writing C in C++

I am sure for many of those people, they do this because they have decided that sufficiently understanding the complexities of C++ provides too little payout (or in some cases none at all) to make the shift worthwhile for them. I don't think accusing developers of "being stuck in the 90's" is the right way to convince them to work differently. If the technology is actually better, you should convince them of such by demonstrating it with many concrete examples.

Contrary to what many seem to believe, just because something is new doesn't mean it is better, even when computers are involved.

You really think that in a world that'd never heard of global warming, the EU would be burning tons of wood purely due to lobbying by that well known oligopoly of global titans that make up the forestry "industry", such as it is?
Yeah, I never would've imagined myself thinking this way, but I think you're right.
They are not public platforms, though. Not anymore public than a Starbucks. Just because "the public" can walk through a store's unlocked doors doesn't make the place public property. Same with social media. Just because "the public" can log into the platform's system doesn't make the place public.

Social media does, in my view, publish the content they host. It's not like the telephone, where you establish a direct connection to your audience and the mediator gets out of the way. When you post something to social media, there are three separate steps that happen:

1. You send the content to the SM company.

2. The SM company does some kind of processing on the content.

3. The SM company publishes that content (or not) somewhere on their site.

These things happen pretty much instantaneously, but they are still happening. Posting to Social Media is more like writing a Letter to the Editor of the newspaper. They receive the letter, decide whether to include it in the paper, then include it in the paper.
4-7-8 breathing: How to use the technique for sleep or anxiety
I think, in disagreement with other responses, almost everyone understands a random advert is not sponsoring the content it is near.

But if you hate 1. the advert, or 2. the content, then you can make a public argument that they are and there's not a good way to say you arn't. I mean there's kind of a justification for it. If you wern't bidding on that adspot, someone else would have gotten it for a bit lower.

The fact that you CAN say it and kinda defend it allows you to activate demographics of people that already hate your target. No one is interested in sober analysis when they have axes to grind.
And if an app/package did grow to the point it needed its own repository, all the packages depending on it just need to update their dependency configuration to the new source.
I feel like I should tack on to this. I have a buddy that works for one of the companies that Facebook subcontracts with - that is, he goes into a Facebook building everyday and serves Facebook employees.

During the pandemic, Facebook kept paying him and everyone on his department even though there wasn't an office to go into and do work. Everyone just stayed home.

He indicated that Facebook was being more than fair. I feel like eventually Facebook needs to adjust to the "new normal" and these employees need to find different jobs.
The difference is that solar panels are only moved and retailed at the point of sale, but after installation there isn’t anything because it’s where it’s supposed to be and it only gets installed once.

Ah, yeah. Precursor is a better word.
I'm not sure what the grandparent post if referring to, but:

- In general, "unsafe" code inside a module may depend on invariants maintained by "safe" code in the same module. For example, the "length" field in a Vec can be changed by the safe internals of Vec. But if the safe code in Vec sets an invalid "length" value, then unsafe code relying on "length" might fail. So once you find an unsafe block, you may need to audit some of the surrounding safe code in the same module.

- Unsafe Rust is actually slightly less forgiving than C or C++, partly because Rust is allowed to set "noalias" on lots of immutable references, IIRC. The Rustonomicon talks a lot about issues like this.

I'm not so sure, since section 230's safe harbor is involved. If section 230's protections were dropped for social media, I am sure that most courts would adopt the Citizens United standard.

Render.com has been a lot more stable for me than Fly.io. After 3-4 months of running into issues running on Fly.io, I went with Render.com and have had no issues so far.

I think Fly.io employees are a lot more active on HN which is why you see them mentioned more often. They also write great blog posts which get a lot of attention here.

I also agree with the sibling comment. I came to Fly.io being sold on servers running close to the users. But I didn't see much of a peformance improvement with my web apps as they all have to communicate with Firebase. There's probably situations where this technology makes sense, but I haven't found a use case yet.

> They would rather a young person take on mounds of debt, instead of say a low paid internship or apprenticeship. Current minimum wages ensure automation are going to win.

Yes. Abolish the minimum wage. Higher minimum wage forces more people out of the workforce entirely and skews the labor market in favor of large corporations vs small businesses. Amazon can absorb any minimum wage hike you can conceive, they don't want to and they will fight tooth and nail against it, but they can afford it. Your neighborhood pizza shop will go out of business (and be replaced by a Pizza Hut -- paying twice as much but employing 25% as many people and working them 400% as hard) if they have to pay their drivers 15 or 20 or 25 (or more) dollars an hour. Both of these effects, lower labor participation rate and consolidation of the employment market in fewer large corporations, are much worse for society overall.
I am not justifying anything. What I did was to explain. Explaining someones reasoning doesn't necessarily mean one is of the same opinion.
They work well enough up to -20C or so. Thats the climate we get here (and occasionally worse) and gov subsidises replacement of pellet stoves (which cost similarly to heat pumps anyway) with heat pumps. You just have to be ok to either rough it out or turn on expensive resistive heating few days per year.
Whether or not pineapple on pizza is acceptable can technically be brought to a political argument but anyone not turned into a rage monster by current social media can tell that it isn't a political debate in the current environment.
Uh, what? White males have been speaking freely (and continue to do so) for as long as the concept of racial hierarchy has existed.

The American tech industry is run by (straight) white men, we're doing most of the speaking, highly disproportionate to our representation globally (where the impact of our decision are felt).
Citizens United determined that corporations have some of the same natural rights that people do. In particular, First Amendment right, which in turn means that corporations can do the same politicking (and political funding) that natural persons do.

This ruling countermands that: the (implicit) right to not be compelled to speak would seemingly no longer apply to corporations or, more accurately, the people within them.

Edit: It's important to note that corporations' rights to moderate their online holdings does not rely on the CU ruling.
Can we stop miscategorizing reactionary regressivism as "conservatism" ? There is nothing conservative about it.

I've switched between startups and Big Tech multiple times. I worked for startups before and after college, left to found my own, ended up at a FAANG, quit to found more startups, and then went back to my previous employer. I was effectively financially independent (went back with more savings than I started with, after 6 year with no income), but I burned myself out. It's been almost 3 years since the last startup, during which I've written very little code (I've been an architect and then a manager), and I'm only just starting to enjoy coding again.

To me, the biggest red flag in your post is "I'm starting to feel not so happy with my current route". I had started to feel like my startup ideas had run their course around 3 years in, but I doubled down on a complicated one because I can be hella persistent and kept it going for another 3 years. Big mistake. When your feelings start telling you it's time to throw in the towel, it's time to throw in the towel. I don't regret leaving the security of a big company to play the startup game, but I do regret sticking with it for so long, even when evidence had mounted that the market had turned and there wasn't really an opportunity there.
