A report I read before showed that it's hard for americans to buy a house now. While it seems that the inflation and pandemic don't stop people with enough money from buying a house.

It's all a single process, and native modules are just shared libraries, so how would it allocate multiple instances for different interpreters?

Python is fine, although I find that Octave gets me to "doing a calculation" in a couple fewer keypresses.
Yes it's probably easier to design but there are no reasons why a phone needs so many glued parts inside and the latest iPhone demonstrates that there are ways to design for maintainability.

> Saudi Arabia, long a committed American partner, has established a close alliance with Russia in the OPEC Plus cartel. The Saudis have very publicly declined the request of an American president to increase oil production.

How can SA go from "committed partner" in one sentence, and then in the very next deny the POTUS?

Actions speak louder that words.

I refuse to read further. I have better sources for narrative-y fiction than Newsweek.

I Tried Removing Python's GIL Back in 1996
I think it's been decided that such a change was so large that it would require a major version change in Python. However, I think that was unauthoritative hearsay probably in another comment thread here on HN. But it stands to reason that removing the GIL will almost certainly change Python's memory model in some ways that could break code in ways that warrant a major version bump.

> Some of the other traces of medieval attitudes compiled here seem disturbingly modern.

Why would it be disturbing that some advice has stood the test of time? Is it just that the listed example involves (presumably largely accurately, since it stuck) thinking badly of people?
Small companies generally aren’t subject to many labor laws, somewhere below 15 people or something? I personally get leery around the potential for working for a smaller company because you literally have less labor rights doing so.
His "opinion" is not only reflective, but amplifying, and that's the scary part.

The companies are the ones pushing this "security" stuff, because they want to stop us from doing things like jailbreaking --- and eventually running any software they don't approve of. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32905587

He used to write very useful utilities which did things that Microsoft didn't officially support or otherwise approve of. That's what made him famous and respected. Now he's using his position to amplify what is effectively a completely opposite viewpoint and betrayed what gave him that respect.

I'm no fan of MS now, and I guess neither Russinovich anymore, but they both used to be far less user-hostile.
Because, little by little, C++ became "unlearnable".

Long ago C++ made C a little bit more complex. Because there were already lots of C programmers that wasn't a big deal.

But then it didn't stop. Little by little C++ grew into a monstrosity. A lot of people went along. I gave up.

For new programmers to climb in 2-3 years a mountain that seasoned programmers took 15-20 years to climb is asking too much.
Maybe not at first, but a million Apple users who break their devices having a good experience with the repair vs. a bad one is a good thing for Apple.
I'm not big into using my phone for notes. I'll put random stuff in Bear or Apple notes but I take my computer everywhere so I just use that for the wiki.

Although obsidian would also work well with fuzzy finding since it stores markdown files locally. For any rough edges, you could write a Lua plugin for neovim, if you want fully featured vim (I tried out the Obsidian vim mode but it doesn't seem to be feature complete).
This feels a bit like shouting directly into a brick wall, but the problem is school. Every year, millions of young children are abandoned by their families [1] far before they learn self-control and placed into the care of jailers [2] who teach them day in and day out that the laws of the Institution trump their needs and desires. Anyone who tries to change self-esteem or fear of collaboration without challenging the practice of giving information to children via the teacher-to-30-student-classroom method will never solve anything at scale, ever.

[1] The fact that there exist no good or pragmatic solutions to the abandonment does not mean the abandonment is not occurring. One of the earliest lessons that newly sentient modern children is "you need to leave your home and go to a place where you don't matter".

[2] The fact that some fraction of teachers are well-intentioned, and that some sub-fraction of those teachers are actually competent, does not change their role as wardens of controlled and numbered children.

I worked for a company that did this in a white collar capacity - FDM. I basically regard them as the scum of the Earth.

However, unlike the article, they usually rent out their trainees as consultants to big companies with broken hiring practices. Myself and a lot of other people I know got an impressive name to put on our resumes and spun that into decent careers. So maybe I shouldn't be so harsh.

Someone buying a TV doesn't have any relationship with AmTran/Foxxcon, doesn't receive code from them. If the lawsuit was about copyright infringement (it is about third-party beneficiary rights of users under the GPL), then suing AmTran/Foxxcon would be the way to go, but they are in China anyway and suing them would likely be hard, so the best you could get is blocking AmTran/Foxxcon based products at customs.
Minecraft has a feature called redstone. It's "dust" that you can pour on blocks to create wires. These wires can be powered from in-game items. Combining two or more of these powered wires with some spatial positioning can give you an OR gate. Some of these power sources can be turned off if they receive power themselves. Those are NOT gates. With an OR and a NOT gate, the world's your oyster.
That's a good point we were not aware. We will rewrite that page and make it more authentic.
> My converging evidence: France’s 1789 democracy was set up by gillotining the very person who would have gotten all the majority votes (He was organizing a referendum and the parliament couldn’t let this happen); The EU wasn’t born as a democracy and we only ask people’s opinions when it’s trending up; etc. there are so many examples that actually-democratic systems are an unstable mess and superficially-democratic systems are the norm.

The EU is hardly a triumph of stability - indeed I'd argue it supports the opposite idea, it's unstable because it's not accountable enough and people realise that, no matter how strong the propaganda.
I used to have LeChuck's PC speaker theme as my cell phone ring.

But the concept of a ringing phone has evolved. Originally, the ringing of a phone was supposed to attract your attention, even if you were far away. You wanted a piercing, obtrusive sound.

Today phones are carried around with you while you hang out with a lot of other people who are also carrying their own phones. Rings and alerts need to be unobtrusive, which makes older-style rings inappropriate. :/

There are TwoHardThings. I'll take longer descriptive names any day. There is a discussion whether the prefix of words like "get" (i.e. `getName()`) is necessary. Please keep as rare as possible the describing of the _type_ of object, like `MyDataDTO`, `ListOfPeopleArray`, `ApiRequestObject`.
I agree that the costs far outweigh the benefits here, but there’s clearly a legitimate use. If you’ll remember the Bernie Goetz case, there was a lot of debate about out, and legal significance to, what the kids said before Goetz started shooting.

I agree that the occasional significance of some conversations does not justify the constant widespread surveillance, but it’s a bit much to say that this couldn’t possibly be useful.
Worldwide farming is a ratio of 2.33:1 vs all other water use, 81% is 4.26:1 Aka a significant difference.

US Farmers generally measure water use in acre fee, each of which is 325,851 gallons and many farms are using more than that per acre. It’s not difficult to find farms that use more than 1 billion gallons of water per year. By comparison the entire US fracking industry is onky using about 25 billion gallons per year.
VOA has much of the same content as major US news organizations. It's actually a pretty decent news source. I don't know what you mean by VOA-based format.

The PoliceActivity youtube channel is interesting for this.

https://www.youtube.com/c/PoliceActivity/videos (For most of the videos, which show people dying, you must be logged into a youtube account to pass the "violent content" prompt)

Maybe 9 out of 10 videos are "good kills". Officer says something like "hey, stop committing a crime", the suspect says something along the lines of "fuck you pig!", pulls a gun, and is swiftly shot to death by the 50 SWAT guys surrounding him. These videos get around 100K views, and the comments are full of hooting MAGA types.

1 out of 10 show an officer doing something completely inexcusable, (Shouting "I love being racist!" and then hitting an infant with a baseball bat) and the video has 100M views.

The tens of thousands of comments then act out the exact same conversation every single time: the red team says something like "but it happens very rarely" and the blue team is outraged that it happens at all. They don't want the rate to be low, they want it to be zero. This is how you end up with blue-aligned media earnestly and in good faith calling for the police and all prisons to be abolished: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/abolishing-police-pris... https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-emerging-m...

I say "conversation" up there, which is of course incorrect. They're talking right past each other, since they come from two separate and completely divorced epistemological universes.
I tried to spin up a project with the Microsoft Rust bindings but for what I needed (DirectX12) there’s a lot of necessary helpers in the header files that haven’t got ported over there. And working from one of the samples it was nowhere near as reliable as the C++ version. Beyond ‘oh the C++ code isn’t catching errors’ - every HRESULT was checked as it was using the WinRT bindings.

Kenny Kerr has done an excellent job with both the C++ and Rust bindings, but the Rust one isn’t there yet.

What I’d like to see is more use of a WinMD style metadata for the ABI for functions in DLLs you create. It would be quite simple to define a Span type that could then be imported and called safely from a diverse range of FFIs. I really shouldn’t be having to declare the ABI all over again with ctypes in Python.
Companies are definitely juicer targets, but I'm cynical enough to think that it's largely because it's not the game developers money that is at risk of being stolen, the incentives don't line up to encourage good security practices.

This is about speed, not cost of repair. The selling point of Apple Care is that it takes the stress out of your phone breaking.

When my sister's iPhone's screen broke, she took it to the Apple Store at the mall to use her Apple Care benefits. When they gave her some enormous time estimate, she marched to the iFixUrPhone stand and they did it in an hour. I believe Apple knows that this is a problem and is taking some preliminary steps to fix it. That's what this play is about.
"it's likely that most employees in this kind of circumstance can tell their employers to stuff it without any adverse consequence."

wrong.

you can be fired for no reason

you can be put on a blacklist and become unhirable

you can have your unemployment denied

you can lose your healthcare

if you have some kind of court situation where you have to have a job to stay out of prison, you can lose your freedom

now put that up against being homeless , being sick, being in prison, then you do whatever the man says.

this is how bad things are, and how completely irrelevant the legal system is to the working class
It's not the result you want but it's the value we think you want.
> You can document your code. You can keep it up to date. It isn't that hard. You just don't want to.

Documentation that is close to the things it is talking about isn't hard to keep up to date. What is hard is knowing, when I make a change here, that someone (maybe me) talked about this thing over there without any pointer from here to there. Can I do a careful search of everywhere there might be documentation every time I make a change? Yeah, I guess; it'll definitely slow me down in the short term and I'll still miss things.
> I’d much rather rewrite a comment six times

Yes! Rewrite that comment until it's sound! Being able to write in spoken language what the code is doing is so often related to the writer's ability to write that code succinctly.

> Regardless of major, half of those who went to private, for-profit schools regret their decision, perhaps because students at for-profit schools are much more likely to struggle to repay their student debt. Similar regrets plague only 21 percent of those who went to public colleges and universities and 30 percent of those who attended private nonprofits.

I'd like to see more historical data on this. Those kids eventually become adults with kids. Imagine a world where the prevailing public opinion is to skip college instead of attend it...
Now I'm imagining using thousands of tuning forks with calibrated knockers.
Ah, so for example challenge-response/public key? The first stage knows the second stage’s public key, and can verify that it knows the private key.

That would make it less secure ("only" as secure as the private key), which is the trade-off the developer made in exchange for an upgradable app, correct?
Well, our C++ codebase has a lot of threads that talk a lot, and buffers we'd rather not copy. Plus ad-hoc NIH versions of stuff that exists in Rust's stdlib, like mpsc, or ad-hoc NIH versions of popular crates, like for logging.

I sometimes just wish I could punt to Tokio. Why am I managing threads? Threads are an implementation detail!

I see it as, Rust tells you about the complexity and helps you with it. C++ waits until you trip on it, and then tells you to use Valgrind.

I could be wrong, though. Or I could be 5 years too early.
What other people are saying about it being a shorthand for similar languages, but also...

C/C++ is a coherent thing to write a single program in. You write some files with a .c extension and compile with gcc, some with c++ and compile with g++, and as long as you're careful in your header files everything works out just fine. People have actually done this, and because C isn't a subset you end up with C files that you can't compile as C++ and you really do have a heterogeneous project.

Haskell/Ocaml isn't comparable.
I don't think this works because even if a transaction is irreversible, the court could still impose monetary damages, if it has jurisdiction. Or some other penalty.

And it seems hard to keep US machines (or any other country) out of a permissionless distributed algorithm? Effectively, any country could claim jurisdiction pretty easily, if it wanted, by adding a machine to the network.

No, President Biden, the pandemic is not over
I’m not sure how this particular argument has to do with the status of a pandemic, which is based on some defined objective criteria, or so I suppose: When the official emergency ends, some 15 million will lose Medicaid coverage; the reason for a student loan repayment pause will end; the rationale for Trump-era border restrictions, still held in place by a court, will disappear. All this policy transition must not be done carelessly or hastily.
Also IMO it's best to avoid his fiction books, Zero Day etc. It's been about a decade since I read it, but it was the first book I've ever read where I felt uncomfortable with the level of detail the author went to when describing the breasts of every female character. The random awkward sex scenes thrown in for no reason was a weird choice.

Most importantly, there's also a complete lack of understanding of the underlying motivations behind both Islamic terror organizations, and cyber crime groups.

I love a ton of things that Mark has built, and I'm glad he's out living his best life. According to the Amazon reviews, a ton of people loved the book, but from my perspective Zero Day is a rare miss.
tik tok in America should be run by an entity with no chinese control. the china company should be required to enter into a joint venture with an American tech company but can keep a profits interest. it must share all IP. kinda like y'all chinese do to us already. make sure the communists have no control over what Americans see.
In terms of adult game nights (or potlucks, parties, etc.), the standard etiquette is everyone takes a turn playing host (since there is some cost incurred/liabilities playing host).

Would you feel entitled to attending such social gatherings, even if your house rules are so vastly different than everyone else's they dissuade anyone from coming?

Also, anthropomorphizing, China is not my friend. More like arch rival, perhaps even nemesis. Canada can come over whenever.

I work for a Fortune 50 company, more than one software programmer consultant who worked for us had one of these agreements. Of course, they never got any real training.

That's not even remotely true that US agencies only ask for data.

Facebook has admitted to suppressing speech in Thailand and the US.

Twitter and reddit openly do it during election season to sway votes and opinions globally.
