Metamizol (Novalgin) is probably one of the biggest examples of this I know. It's a non-NSAID, non-addictive painkiller that was discovered over 100 years ago and banned in the USA in the 60s. It has a similar danger profile to Diclofenac (Voltaren), which is now prescribed like candy. And it is still widely used in Germany and Switzerland, so there is lots of data on 'modern' populations. But since nobody can patent it, there's no motivation to get it reapproved in the US, so everyone get opioids instead.
Just to be clear... again... This is not actually scrapping IR35. The point at issue is who decides whether a contractor is really an employee or not. It used to be that the contractor decided for themselves, and since it was advantageous not to be considered an employee for tax reasons they would always commit tax evasion by falsely stating they weren't an employee even when they clearly were. This was then reversed where the employer had to decide whether someone was really an employee, since the employer didn't benefit by claiming the contractor was not an employee, and there was legal liability, they were much more likely to be honest about the contractor being an employee.

Frankly, this is all a bit silly, and the contractors should be bought into line with employees for tax purposes anyway. Just bring capital gains up to income tax rates for any business with less than 50 employees or something and stop theses stupid shenanigans.

That's where you judge the moderation. The moderation quality defines the community quality.

The good thing about HN is that the moderators are reachable and they do respond intelligently. Unlike AI moderation, you can send an e-mail about it and dang will respond to you and explain why something happen and you can discuss it.

I had my account restricted multiple times and restored once we got on the same page(I don't agree with everything but once I see their point, I can work with it). I had wrongfully flagged comments unflagged by sending them an e-mail too.

It's not perfect but it's pretty good and miles ahead than anything else online.

Thanks a lot for your kind words!! I really appreciate it and makes me keep working on the project.

Feel free to let me know in case you have any question - you are also welcome to post anything you may need in our Discord channel.

P.S. Regarding benchmarking, I can assure you I've been working non-stop on optimization so that the VM is as fast as possible. That being said, being an interpreted language, I don't think it could ever fare well against the compiled ones. I would mostly compare it to languages like Python, Ruby, Lua, etc :)
They tell that about every single safety feature in cars. Reversing cameras usually always have a warning to not rely on the image, even though basically the only way to actually get a proper view what's behind you in a modern car is to get out of the car and go behind it. I imagine it's all about liability.
Where can I find such design specification? All I can find is https://w3ctag.github.io/private-mode/ and https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/private-browsing-modes/ that tell nothing about the short duration of a private session. Some emphasis is put on the necessity that private mode and normal mode should be transparent to the user (i.e. not breaking any normal feature). It should be not possible to tell the two modes apart. If you break a feature like ServiceWorker you are providing a way to detect a private browsing session, and that is a bad thing, worse than anything a SW could provide, in my opinion.
Fabio, Hi! Really nice to see you around! And thanks a lot for your very kind words - I'm doing my best to find the time needed and do anything! Definitely, Arturo's is in my priority list! (Big update coming very soon!)

Also, don't think that I have forgotten about Min either. I do keep track of its progress as well! Well done to you as well! :)
C23 says hello.

C is becoming into everything C++ has, minus OOP and the additional type safety.
Could you provide a citation? I am asking because this conflicts (not overstating) with every single study I read on this general topic. To name a few:

* The only relevant factor for predicting chess skill at any level seems to be hours spent on deliberate practice, see for example: https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.1106

* There is the decently famous Terman research (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Terman), who was convinced that he could predict future Nobel price winners, executives and wealthy people by IQ-testing them as a child. His approach basically did not work at all - to just name on aspect; he actually excluded two future Nobel-price winners from his group of future winners because their IQ was too low

* Students who are picked to fulfill minority quotas are just as likely to have successful law careers after graduating than their picked-by-intelligence colleagues (https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1747-4469.2000.tb00967.x)

I could name many more, but it is not my intention to win an argument by wall-of-text here, I am genuinely interested in sources pointing into a different direction. Thank you for your time!
Because he's trying to snow the layperson in his new pop science book, not call attention to old debunked ideas by naming them.
Thanks a lot for letting me know about the documentation website. There are some known issues but I've been putting them off until the upcoming update (which will coincide with the new release, which is coming very, very soon).
Regarding parentheses vs square brackets, let me explain.

Basically, in Arturo, the two things are totally different:

- with parentheses, all you do is prioritize the evaluation of a given expression - now square brackets denote a block (of values) - one of the most basic building blocks of Arturo. And a block is not to be evaluated until we need it.

The case of `?` (which is an alias to the function `switch`) may look somewhat weird, but it follows Arturo's rules 100%. Have a look at the documentation: https://arturo-lang.io/documentation/library/core/switch/

Basically, the "normal", straightforward syntax would be:

``` a: switch 2 > 3 ["yes"]["no"] ```

Now, `-> "yes"` and `["yes"]` are exactly the same. All `->` does is wrap a single, computable value into a block (it's syntactic sugar, nothing more).

Now, why would we need parentheses in your example? (as you see, in mine, none was needed, as the order of evaluation is pretty much obvious)

if we did it without parentheses, given Arturo's right-to-left evaluation rule, it would mean something like: check if 3, if it's true, return "yes", otherwise return "no" and then compare that with 2. That's why we need the parentheses. But it's because `?` (switch alias) acts as an infix operator.

"bonus" points:

* text/TSV data files made public as a requirement from the published articles may have spaces or dots in column names, missing line ends, non-unique row IDs, etc.

* there is no limit as how many records can be stored in a single file. Latest dbSNP has more than 1000 millions of rows.

* bunch of formats (GFF, GTF, VCF) has several TSV delimited "proper" columns (as: 1 value) and then special column where optional fields are piled in a different format, with another separator, field names etc. Real fun to parse...
In the case of Bismark, the allies and benevolent parties were not so because they were sold on Bismark's theater. They were so because of the cold calculus of self-interest. In the 1850's Prussia was seen as a second rate power, not that threatening. The other powers thought they have more to gain than to lose if Prussia nibbles at the expense of others. In 1870, Prussia was already dangerously close to being a great power, so France attacked. The other powers miscalculated, and thought that France being the bigger dog in that fight, it's not such a big deal if it gets a bloody nose. Few could foresee that Prussia will become the giant of 40 years later that could threaten pretty much all the others combined.

Before WW1 the calculus of war was quite simple:

- Austria was on the decline. It was threatened by both Germany and Russia. They chose to ally themselves with Germany which they perceived as the lesser of the two dangers
- Russia was growing. They were threatened by Germany. They allied themselves with France and later the UK in the Triple Entante.
- France was declining. Germany was their natural enemy, not amount of diplomacy could change that. On top of that, they still felt the sting of the 1872 defeat.
- Germany was growing. They were on the verge of becoming hegemon. They knew that France and Russia would like to attack it from both sides. They perceived that if they attack first, they stand a better chance to get a better deal in the end
- UK was slightly on the decline. They used to be the undisputed hegemon of the seas, but now the new German High Sea Fleet was becoming a real nuisance. If Germany were to win the continental wars (like Napoleon 100 years earlier), they were going to be in big trouble. It did not take them long to figure out on which side they should fight (despite all the royal family connections).
- the Ottoman empire. They were not a great power anymore. Still, if they perceived a threat, it was mostly from the Russian empire, which had had for about three hundred years the nasty habit to keep chomping at their territories

Putin's situation was much simpler. There are only 2 superpowers around, the US and China. The US will be against whatever adventure Russia tries. As for China, it will be ok with such adventures, provided they don't become a headache for itself. Putin did a pilgrimage to kiss the Sultan's hand, and that was that. He even went beyond the minimal task of securing China's approval, one way or another he also secured India's (tacit) approval.
I expected this to be a rant about bureaucracy and it turned out to be a nuanced and rational discussion of the failure of American government. Good stuff.

I would only add that this isn't an accident - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

For a large company, draconian regulations can be to their distinct advantage, as them very size allows them to handle the cost and complexity, while smaller companies cannot - or they can simply cheat, and if caught, swallow penalties that would destroy a small company.
I think "serenity now!" has had a much longer life than “regifting” and “shrinkage", I know I use it quite often. And, of course, the Festivus.

> ‘put code and see the result’

Isn't this basically all UI programming? :D

Joking aside, I see this 'person X doesn't know anything, but they are still delivering' attitude quite a bit on HN now. They clearly know something, and projects like co-pilot will make them even more effective.

I think the opposite of you - that projects like co-pilot will further lower the barriers of entry to programming and expand those who program. I also think that like all ease of programming advances in the past, business requirements will continue to grow at the edges where those who care about the craft will still be required.
Really? What country do you live in?
There are extremely few comedy shows I really enjoy: Arrested Development, Curb you Enthusiasm, Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses, Malcolm in the Middle - and Seinfeld. I think they all have something in common: while they all offer plenty of easy-to-digest but clever short-term jokes, they regularly feature completely unexpected long-term jokes, to great effect.

Seinfeld stands out because they typically achieve this across storylines. A great example (spoiler alert) is Kramer's golfing vs. George's lying in "The Marine Biologist", where the literal act of revealing that the joke was actually a storyline collision got the biggest laugh in the show's history. They sometimes even did it across episodes, for example George's job as a hand model. I think this is one of the main reasons Seinfeld nearly topped the 2013 WGA ranking of the best written TV shows [0].

Larry David became the master of this technique during the 3rd year of Seinfeld, and he further perfected it in "Curb".

> Also, the hidden variable theories seem to be about practicality; for all intents and purposes, because it would be practically impossible to know that such hidden variables exist, they are deemed as non-existent.

Definitely not. Everyone would strongly prefer a model of the universe that was deterministic. Hidden variables don't get ignored just because we don't need them to make predictions. We really really really want them, for their own sake, but we cannot make them work.
> There's a reason why most FAANGs developed their own packages management and deployment system and keep using them. They are simpler, less bloated, easier to debug.

It is. And, as a matter of fact, the inoculation of oak trees and truffles is a carefully guarded secret of the INRA (https://www.inrae.fr). There is no natural occurrences of truffles outside the south of France, Italy and Spain.

I don't think so. That's just a semantic description of what you are doing. Call it `UserMessage("....")` or whatever. If you go without that and have simply plaintext for any kind of thing, you might at some point mix up passwords with user messages and stuff like that. Has nothing to do with future-proofing.

You need user-messages? Then create user-messages and not strings. You don't need translations? Then don't create them.

Or in other words: make things a simple as you can but not simpler than they inherential are.

> Perhaps the wrapper is even less work to introduce in the future, since you can add it with a simple search-replace, instead of inserting it manually every time you type a string.

No you cannot, unless literally all strings in your program must be translated.
>Now history has shown that more powerful nation's have conquered others. The 19th century is choked full with examples. That primarily was driven by competition by world powers seeking ever more resources for that competition. The universe is abundant in resources however, we have a lot to pick from once we are space faring species.

We can model this using just exponential growth and fixed speeds. If civilizations with interstellar capability existed prior to now, we'd see them. The galaxy would be literally teaming with them. That's the Fermi paradox. That's what the Grabby Aliens paper explored.

They don't exist.

I remember the Silk icons, I still have a soft spot for them. I even tried using them in an app, but they upscale very poorly even with xBRZ (IIRC I used something like https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbrz/files/ScalerTest_1.1.z...).

Similarly, Visual Studio actually comes with an icon library at https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/..., though 2012 sadly switched from 3D icons (a mixed bag, some beautiful ones and then some awful ones like a downscaled yellow-shaded XP-era exclamation point triangle) to flat line art indistinguishable from today's icon style except in having backgrounds. You can find "totally legal" offline downloads of VS2010 on archive.org (the online installer is down).
Not OP but I agree it's quite a nice bit of kit. Shame they shoved so many turds on top. Worth reading the wikipedia architecture page as a launch point for info on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Windows_NT
Well, why not?! Since, after all, we all know them as "loops" ;-)
Yes, superdeterminism is a theory that local and nonlocal hidden variables are the same.

Remember, Pell's inequality theorem is definitely true, mathematicallly. The only way to disagree with it physically is to say that the premises are not physical on our Universe.
“Value” in this context is a digital asset that is assigned to you and can be exchanged for some real world value.

One example is PayPal. When you deposit fiat into a PayPal account, you get back an asset: a digital and virtual currency that PayPal holds custody over for you.

Another example is a digital gift card, like a $50 voucher for Amazon. The key associated with this card holds value, and in some cases you can even gift and transfer this online.

Another example is a domain name. If you own a valuable domain name like Meta.com, the asset isn’t “money” but it also isn’t worthless or valueless.

Now take a DAI stablecoin, Aave position, or ENS domain. Very much the same as above assets, except that they align more closely with the three aforementioned properties: trustless, permissionless, and decentralized.

In all of these cases we use the term “ownership” but the ownership of dollars in a PayPal account and ownership of DAI tokens in a wallet have very different properties.
Nope, goal posts are still to actually address this statement with something else than sarcasm or irony:

Still waiting on your take. So far you have drifted off on all directions, maybe I made the mistake of indulging it. Let's go back on topic.

Hi, author here. So the first thing is as something meant to be an engaging (though casual) read and one which is targeted at an audience who might not all be tech buffs, of course there's some simplification, glossing over some things and yes, a bit of hyperbole here and there for dramatic effect. The opening paragraph, for example, obviously lays out a strong and provocative position to immediately engage the reader and establish the post's theme as a critical piece.

The other part is the article already comes in at something like 3800 words. I could write five, ten times that on the subject and still not be done. I have to pick and choose what I cover and in what detail.

The primary use case of cryptocurrencies (and in particular Bitcoin) today, when used directly as currency, as a means of purchase, is criminal activity. The article glossed over that there are other niche use cases where coins are used as currencies but they are very much a niche, particularly when weighed against the biggest use of crypto today which is simply as a form of something analogous to stock trading only without the regulation.

But this is almost a secondary point; the article is about "Web 3" hype, these points are relevant insofar as the thing which is really being challenged is this idea that crypto and blockchain will be the foundation of a major new era in the web.

I'll certainly take it as constructive feedback on my writing if that isn't clear enough. Thanks.
My LG TV actually had support for control by serial communication, provided I plugged in a USB to serial converter. It allowed me to move volume control to my HTPC and largely dump the remote.

I kind of doubt an air conditioner has the same feature though.

You still haven't gotten around the 100,000 year issue. It's the energy expenditure and timescales that are the problem.

Prohibition in the USA has been going for how long? The more popular drugs were legalized and regulated but we are also learning these prohibited drugs may have historical, cultural, and more importantly medicinal factors. Which after elimination may leave a deficit the legal drugs cannot fill.

Imagine cavemen who wondered the forest eating whatever they could. They see berry bush and they eat them all. Mmmm sugar, wonderful addictive legal drug. Then they walk further and eat mushrooms which make you happy. Even cannabis is a standard, we have cannaboid receptors built into us.

Now withdraw access to what's built into us. Guess what, you end up seeking what makes you happy. You eat foods full of sugar to make you happy but you kind of overdo it. Your nation is now 80% overweight and 30% obese. Which comes with lots of consequences.

> Their objective is the targetting of specific individuals who are involved in the conflict, wherever they are.

If they could target specific individuals they definitely would, just like Ukrainian forces killed many high ranking officers (including generals). The fact they don't is just proof they can't.
Yeah I had this problem as well with my old Dell and Windows. Also weird problems with high DPI displays and window sizes. If I unplugged one monitor, the other one would drop for a second and then the menu bars would shrink on the still plugged in display.

Now I have a studio display. Get out of box, plug it in, works. Open laptop, spans display instantly. Unplug, windows move to the laptop. Never goes wrong. No bugs.
One does the same approach as Rust, wrap the unsafe C stuff into type safe C++ wrappers.
