> The idea that women should have the same rights as men is an eccentric and unpopular worldview. The idea that slavery is wrong and immoral was an eccentric and unpopular worldview for millennia.

Yes, and people died to get those rights, whereas the privacy advocates want to earn them by assertion. Just as it doesn't prove anything that your ideas are unpopular, it also, you know, doesn't prove anything that your ideas are unpopular.

It works both ways. You've got a big case to make and the burden is on you to make it.
Does it matter whether it’s correlation or causation? Maybe the weather causes something else to happen (like releasing more allergens or whatever), and that causes their (and my) migraines? Who cares? When the weather changes, many of us experience migraines. It doesn’t really matter whether it’s causation or correlation and your questioning it does nothing to help the people suffering or to educate those reading the discussion. It’s just dismissive for no reason.
Happened to be reading an old interview with vitalik earlier today which mentioned the following, but unfortunately doesn’t link the studies.

> The idea a few years ago was basically that if you had taken an older person (or this works with animals too) and you basically just connect their bloodstream to the younger person, then the older person would be kind of, you know, quote ‘rejuvenated’ with the younger person’s blood to some extent.

> It was somewhat inconclusive, but of course, it really captured the imagination, just because of the bloody optics of the thing.

> But then there was this interesting study from a year ago that I think, or somewhere close to a year ago, that kind of really changed the narrative on this. It turns out that you don’t need young blood for this. Like, it turns out that if you just replace part of a person’s blood with, I think it was water and with saline, and albumin. Basically just water with a couple of other dumb things, then you can have basically all the same positive effects?

> It turns out that the gains from that procedure don’t come from younger people having good ingredients, they come from older people having damaged ingredients. And if you can flush those damaged ingredients out, then you can potentially reduce the level of damage in a person’s body.

> Once again, this is the sort of thing that’s still significantly too early to be really doing, but it’s the sort of thing that is definitely worth kind of doing more research and looking into more.

I second this. I use rappi about 1-2 a day. They attracted a bunch of users using their delivery platform and now they have expanded into dug delivery, car insurance, plane tickets and a bunch more. They are currently trying to break into financial services (now really sure how well this last one will play out though).
For such folks, telling them that invoking the full path of the executable will bypass the alias, e.g. “/bin/rm -f” will do the right thing. Discoverable? Nah. But we are talking about shell command behavior which is pretty arcane anyways.
The problem set covers the material of 6.0001 and 6.042. I guess you can take both in the first semester and do algorithms course in the second semester.
Can we all agree that smart folks can come to different conclusions based on different lived experience and values?

Magit is an excellent and widely used Git TUI.
Based on my work in software systems yes.

Generally when I write a postmortem there is a long list of modifications that could solve the problem. However they all have different costs, different effectiveness, different specificity and may overlap in different ways. This means that the high-cost, highly-specific modification may not be worth implementing when a lower cost and very broad modification can cover that same class of problems (even if not quite as effectively).

As an example you may have two recommendations:

1. Queue the requests and add many retries so that if a problem occurs in the future the requests are not lost and the problem can be fixed or allowed to resolve itself.

2. Add a second implementation of the process using different technologies and dependencies and fail over to it if the first implementation fails.

If this specific type of request is not very latency sensitive 2 is likely not worth it even though it is an improvement over just doing 1. 2 might be the better solution as well however 1 would greatly mitigate not only the specific request that had a problem this time but all similar requests in the system so 1 is good to do even if 2 is done for the other types of request.

In the end I would say that both are good recommendations however the logical business choice is just to do 1.
I would like to mention Thor Heyerdahls expeditions

In 1947 he crossed the Pacific Ocean on the balsawood raft Kon-Tiki.

This was his first expedition to be captured on film, and was later awarded Academy Award for best documentary

In 1951. He later completed similar achievements with the reed boats Ra, Ra II and Tigris.

I'd agree that they would either be conscious or p-zombies, but I think humans are sufficiently easy to fool that the latter may well happen. I offer panpsychism and celebrity fandoms/parasocial relationships as examples of people's emotional sense of connection being misleading.

I don't think anyone has a sufficiently concrete definition of consciousness to even tell either how far we are from that now, nor how to get there from here.

I have been using C and related languages since 1980. Switched to C++, later Java. Then about 7 years ago, I went all in on Scala, and have never looked back.

Something like "i: int" is superior (at least in Scala), because the type annotation is optional. You can drop it, and just say "val i = 42". I believe it simplifies the parser as well.

There is a reason many modern languages are adopting the style.
I did the same with my younger colleagues. It’s depressing.
Didn't think about the name being misleading, but you definitely have a point.

A minimum wage IS a good idea. It says that any work that is worth less than this is not economically desired by society and should not be done.

The issue is quality of life vs all wages, as reflected in buying power and the ability to have a good life. Rather than an inflationary focus on raising the minimum (a hidden tax on the non-ownership classes, as the land / property / business owners will just raise their rates to keep up); quality of life should be raised by raising Buying Power, not by raising the minimum.

Raising Buying Power is tough though, since it requires market regulation and leadership. It means the price of food, of services, and of housing must go down to make quality better. However we'd all be better off under such a model (owners and rent/profit seekers less so, but still better other than the profits).
That's not what they're talking about here. They're saying that any system with a C++ compiler is a target for this new language, as opposed to Rust, which only runs on systems with a LLVM backend.

https://timeforchange.org/co2-emissions-for-shipping-of-good...

Moving something via cargo ship emits 10-40g of co2 per km * ton. I'll assume 10, since fire wood would be extremely low priority.

Assume you buy a 20lb bundle of foreign wood from a store 10 miles away, and transport it in the back of a Prius. (This seems optimistic for a rural area where wood heating makes sense.)

The prius gets about 50 mpg. Round trip, it drives 20 miles, so it uses 0.4 gallons of gas, or 8 lbs of CO2, which is 3.6 kg.

The earth's circumference is 40,000KM. Assume the wood traveled 20,000KM by sea.

20 lbs is 0.01 ton. 10g is 0.01 kg. 0.01kg * 0.01 ton * 20,000km is 2kg of CO2 emissions.

Even ignoring the emissions from harvesting and shipping the wood from the forest to the packaging plant, seasoning (drying) it, and the last mile delivery for the store, the overseas shipping is only 33% of the emissions.

Contrary to what people often claim, the government making any decision at all about what is and is not speech, or political speech, does not cause immediate free speech violations.

Yes, the government decides all the time, in a long standing and well studied legal history, about what is or is not speech.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that the primary purpose of the court system, with regards to free speech cases, is deciding what does or does not count as speech.

I have rm aliased to trash for interactive use because it prevents me from making mistakes. There's a macOS trash utility you can download that lets you put files in the trash properly with full Finder support.

The great thing about modern computers is that they have so many resources that it's okay to build more forgiving tools.

Time Machine has been a huge lifesaver as well. Ideally you should be able to mark certain folders to automatically track all file changes over time.

There's still so much room for improving user friendliness and accessibility of computer systems, but it feels like we're either stuck in the Unix box or we've gone full kiddie lockdown mode with mobile platforms.
Yup! Attacks are exactly what I expected: "who aren't quite as smart as they think they are, and subsequently don't question the things they're told."

I never said that conservatives are hateful, only that conservative politicians are. And that seems like a totally settled question, it takes but a moment to listen to Trump or DeSantis and hear their hate (DeSantis is literally abducting poor migrants and using humans as pawns).

But this is the state of discussion today!

Liberals put forward solutions to problems that improve everyone's lives, conservatives put forward hatred. And of course the old refrain 'do your own research'.

Funny statement that. Particularly given that we're responding to a survey that clearly shows that experts who actually do research overwhelmingly come to liberal viewpoints.

“Holding up an order of magnitude more applications … clearly it has upsides”.

It’s holding up lots of applications because better languages didn’t exist at the time those projects were started, and it’s rarely feasible to switch languages. Specifically, a lot of people look to Rust to unseat C++ for new applications, but it will take a while for Rust to mature with respect to libraries (e.g., game engines) and mindshare in those industries. But even then, old languages have tons of staying power by virtue of age.

Excellent points! The usual answer to points 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 is "use Bazel (or something inspired by Bazel) for absolutely everything". The usual answer to points 6, 7, 8 is "don't use git (at least not plain vanilla git)". The answer to point 4 is along the lines of "don't hold it that way" and "add custom tooling", but honestly, doesn't seem to have an awesome solution.

I actually have started learning rust and I do like it. I am hoping to get to a point where the ownership structure becomes obvious in my mind.

If I had to make a game right now though, I would be way faster in C++.

That said though, I do hope as I learn rust everything becomes obvious. I would be very happy if I get equally as productive (since that means I can use rust for everything).

I guess I just worry that certain things are like custom graph data structures, where suddenly ownership is a huge issue.

Well, it's just a video now. It was a live stream. It's awful what happened, but it's just footage documenting the event now. I understand why you wouldn't want it hosted on something like Facebook or Instagram or whatever, but to say it shouldn't be out there somewhere? What if someone wants to analyze the event, most big events don't have near that level of documentation. How is it different at this point (just the video of the event, not the event itself) from journalists documenting other awful things?
Perhaps that's how it should be, though? Paid content -- even if I'm required to see it in my feed and can't filter it out -- should be marked as such.

HN has something similar to "paid" content: YC alum companies are allowed to post hiring notices that end up on the front page, and decay down the page according to a pre-determined algorithm. They're obvious in that you can't comment or vote on them, but HN does allow them to be hidden. I think that's the right way to do things; if HN allowed YC companies to post on the front page, and made it look like they were regular posts that got organically upvoted, it would reduce my trust in HN.

Any social media platform that puts paid content in a feed, while trying to make it look like regular content, would also lose my trust.

My theory is that the Internet generally hates multi-paradigm languages (Scala!). Key phrase there is “the Internet,” which is a euphemism for “people who write in the comment section.” They aren’t a representative sample, just a vocal one.

There are plenty of good reasons to hate on C++, but that’s conflated with a lot of “real hacker” signaling.

Most takes on C++ lament that it isn’t C, or is too complex. Rust is a quality replacement for C++, but it doesn’t succeed on either of those counts either.

All new code I write is in Rust or Haskell. If I need to do something weird, like with DynamoRIO, C++ it is.
No, it should read grammatically as English.

int x = 0
"There is an integer x with value 0"

x: int = 0
"x is an integer with value 0"

x: int 0 =
"x is an integer that is zero valued"

The last one is awkward, the first one is harder to read.
