> Think Java: for each type you have to create a new file.

That's untrue, Java has inner classes, and they can even be public. A "public static" inner class is nearly indistinguishable from a normal top-level class (the only real difference is that its name in the bytecode has a $ character separating the names, that is, its name in the bytecode ends up being something like "org.example.Outer$Inner").

> After you've been lying or sitting and you get up and go for a wee, once done press up just behind your balls.

Related to this, I "recently" (as in years ago, but already as an adult) discovered a method that, at least for me, performs the same capability without needing to manipulate my testicles. However, it may only be practicable for non-circumcised penes—I don't know.

The process is the following.

After you have finished your urination, even if (you think) you have shaken and squeezed out all that was left, you pull your foreskin back even further so it is behind the glans. Then, you use your thumb and index finger to pinch the foreskin on one side and use it as a handle to stretch your penis by pulling the glans away from you VERY lightly (no pain or discomfort please!), slightly bending the penis diagonally at that point until, usually a second or two later, you start feeling the need to pee again. Then you let go and... voilà! There's a whole new stream of urine that you wouldn't even believe was there when you "finished" peeing a few seconds ago.

I don't know if this is common knowledge, as I have never searched about it or talked about it (not out of any embarrassment or anything, it's just something so trivial). This also means I don't even know if it would work on any equipment or whether it is limited to specific internal wirings or anatomical features.
Jason open sourced the project. Why would they need his approval?
D has a long history, but D has always been a language in transition. It is going through a period of refinement where features are added and the underlying abstractions are made more efficient. So, I expect the performance problems to be solved reasonably soon. For now, D developers should look at the current status of D's garbage collection and how to improve it.

When D was originally developed it was intended to be a language that was in between C and Java. D was to be a very low level language. So, it was not as low level as C and not as high level as Java. It still managed to outperform Java and rival C. Ten years from now it'll be even faster.
The issue with conspiracies is that they require competence

Alternatively, there are opportunists ready when presented with a reality

Here, it relies on damning China for having a vaccine ready so fast. China’s vaccine doesn’t work and their population is still susceptible to covid. They take a separate opportunity for just waiting for weaker strains to evolve and circulate.

It isn’t competence. There is no tree of plans. It is just reactions that seem beneficial at the time.

I’d say maybe he was assuming we’d address climate change or he’d simply move by 2061 when he turns 100.

Miami is only 6 feet above sea level so it will be gone before his house. Once Miami floods climate change deniers will have a more difficult time convincing people they are right. But I’m betting the limits of denial are boundless.

In the meantime, sounds like a great house.

> I know it sounds like I am just disagreeing with his ADHD diagnosis and that I am in some way against ADHD diagnosis but that is not the case at all. As I said my son was diagnosed with ADHD not too long ago. I have no issue with ADHD as a diagnosis I just worry it is the wrong one for this person because they became so obsessed with getting adderall as some kind of fix for everything

That is really hard. Your son may have to figure that one out on his own.

If I can give some unsolicited advice:

Make sure your son knows that you feel his problems are real and that he has important things to learn from others who have ADHD, because they do struggle with so many similar things. If it's ‘you're barking up the wrong tree’, he might be likely to reflexively dismiss you. But if it's ‘I see why you think this is a good place to look for help, but don't limit your search for tools to deal with this to things associated with ADHD’, it might be something he can better receive.

Also, as someone who has been diagnosed with ADHD and takes stimulant medication for it:

- there are aspects of ADHD that stimulant medication just doesn't help with
- there are aspects of ADHD that stimulant medication can make *worse*, if you're not careful
- ADHD can be closely related to anxiety, even when ADHD is almost certainly part of the picture— when you have ADHD traits and behaviors, it's natural to fall into a habit of *leaning into those ADHD traits and behaviors* in order to cope with your anxiety, as a form of avoidance

Even if your son is certain that he has ADHD and he is basically right, that doesn't mean that his trauma doesn't matter or that there's not an interplay between his trauma and his ADHD. He'll be more successful in treating his ADHD if he also addresses his trauma, and working with a therapist can really help for the aspects of ADHD where stimiulant medication is not always that helpful a tool.
Elon Musk wouldn't comply with American COVID19 restrictions in his first factory.

But when China goes 100% lockdown for the past year, he turns a blind eye to it and calls them hard workers instead. His anti-American bias, at least when talking with the Chinese, is pretty darn obvious.

Of course, it all disappears when he flies back to the USA. My point is he's a two-faced double-talking political type. He says what he needs to say to get the money and prestige he needs to do what he wants. Expect more pro-Chinese sentiment from him. The Chinese factory is one of the most important elements of Tesla's strategy right now.

I don't know about you, but I live on the 3rd floor in a NL city where building limit height is 70 meters. I have 12 hours of sun on my balcony and it's honestly great, but if I could move into a 200 meter high mega tower and have a balcony, maybe an inner yard as well, and a cool roof terrace with glass around it, I would in a heartbeat.
Your comment is very vague. Words cause an involuntary reaction that cannot be turned off. You cannot stop understanding English at will. You cannot stop being hurt if you're rejected at will. In that sense the statement "words don't hurt" is simply false, and contradicts the direct lived experience of every human on earth (except those who train to not let words get to them, such as lawyers and politicians).
Wow, profound and very true!

I dont think this is the case at all. Especially on the math stack exchange I tend to go out of my way to link sources, books, pages, etc where I can find them. There have been times I've made an error not obvious but "simple" and have gotten beaten down to the point I dont even use it anymore. It's no different than stack overflow, where a power tripping mod will mark your question duped with something completely unrelated if the downvote brigade doesnt get to you first.

Two things that I’ve come to see as truths about the world are:

Most people are wrong about most things and most of their advice is awful.

Most people aren’t that great at their jobs. They’re doing enough to get by but not much more.
Make sure you pay attention to the "how to ask a homework question" for Math.SE - https://math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1803/how-to-as...

I'll also note that from a previous comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33055240 ) you claim to be a PhD student and the questions you are asking may be deeper than the regular freshman calculus question and thus held to a higher standard (expecting use of the proper terms, and using MathJax / LaTeX for more complicated formulas).

Stack exchange in general, as a Q&A site is optimized for being a Q&A site which means that it traded off some of the ability for it to be a general discussion site and questions that need a back and forth explanation session tend to fit poorly within that framework.

If your question is one that needs that back and forth, you may find it better to schedule some time with a professor or grad student in the math department who can provide that denser communication channel and provide real time feedback on the proper terminology.
Looks like Forth but more complicated to me...
Bitcoin miners don’t magically get around OFAC either.

The end result of the censorship of blocks in Ethereum is that non OFAC compliant transactions are taking I think about 30-60 seconds longer as they get picked up by non-censoring validators and added to blocks. This is very different than being silenced forever and not being allowed to transact.

The source of the issue isn’t validators but centralized mev boost operators. More discussion here.

Same. In the mid 90's, I had a Sparc 10 at home for a while, as my main system (I bought it from a software company that went under.) What I really miss is the incredible "variety" of hardware back then. I remember working at a company where we had DEC Alphas, VAXes, Suns, HPUX systems, AIX boxes... Today everything is basically homogeneous.

> The people who want to drag D into the Java/C# territory are the problem in my opinion

Absolutely and that's the majority of D community.

> took what C had to offer and put it to the next level

ImportC is a fantastic stuff that Walter is working on.

> simplify the language

Sane defaults, but the ship has sailed. Reminds me of a talk Scott Meyers gave a while ago "The last thing D needs (is to hire him)". I think it's time they hire him.

> compiler performance

Rather focus on just LDC or GDC and drop DMD altogether. DMD is a good piece of software, but for such a small community, I find it alarming that they waste human effort across 3 different compilers and still complain lack of resources.
The amount of evidence in the ProPublica article/senate report is quite staggering. What's interesting is that it's clear that US intelligence knew it was a lab leak very early on. Trump's comment makes that clear:

In April 2020, Trump declared at a press conference that COVID-19 — or “kung flu,” as he soon began calling it — had come from a lab in China. When pressed on the evidence for this claim, he declared: “I can’t tell you that. I’m not allowed to tell you that.”

So he had been briefed with secret intel he wasn't allowed to repeat, probably NSA intercepts of some kind. And yet despite this clear statement, it was immediately censored all over the place by tech workers and others who thought they were better than the general public at knowing what's true and also better at it than a US President with access to secret intelligence reports.
Cool to know google is gathering your sensors data realtime. Microphones included?
This also requires a completely different, much more authoritarian mindset. Even living in high rises already significantly limits your freedom because you have twice as much neighbors.
This old myth about ADHD is one of my pet peeves. Stimulant medications don't un-ADHD people. They're a handicap that has similar effects across the whole population, but which is considered highly dangerous and addictive, and for that reason, we only allow its use when we've identified a significant disability in the form of ADHD.

But it's not a magic drug which undoes ADHD and has completely different effects on the non-ADHD population.
For its big comeback, Intel needs to spend money, and it's making less and less
I am with you that it would be nice to provide some sources. On the other hand, after spending time around math students, engineering students and other students and in groups for students with a talent for math, these statements are obviously true. This is not a medical paper, as indicated by the phrase "on the spectrum", but everyone how has experienced these communities knows what the author is referring to. The best math teachers are not the best mathematicians, on average.

I casually googled for sources for some of these claims: These studies do exist. But even if not, I would still think it is valid to talk about this phenomena (taking into account that measuring empathy, teaching ability or mass diagnosing large student bodies are difficult research tasks).
I have a project that I have thought about open sourcing. When I hear horror stories about demanding 'customers' who don't pay you anything but somehow expect you to drop everything and address their immediate concern (feature, bug, documentation, etc.), that gives me pause.

I wonder how many other projects have also been kept out of the OSS realm for the same reasons.
> "And doubly so when you realize that the most efficient reconversion of that hydrogen to electricity is going to lose another 20%."

I think the real value of water-sourced hydrogen is going to be in three fields: synthesis of ammonia (atmospheric N2 + H2 -> NH3), direct reduction of iron ore to sponge iron (FeO + H2 -> Fe), and synthesis of methane and jet fuel (Sabatier and Fischer-Tropsch processes, respectively).
Starcraft's Campaign AI doesn't rush you ever. Nor does the Campaign AI group up or mass up their units. So even singular ships (ie: single Battlecruisers) can make surprising progress.

Those players then come into multiplayer mode and get wrecked by the multiplayer AI or humans of course. But that doesn't change the fact that I've met these people (ie: my more casual friends who thought they were hot stuff in Starcraft back in the day).
As a systemd hater, I have to say that I like the systemd approach here better than messing with iptables. The locality of behavior is nice.
SemVer is very important for me.
If the language has binary dependencies the package manager should also handle them. Depending on the system for them leads to hard to debug issues.

Like I said before,

For Video, H.266 / VVC is just technically superior in every single way. For Images, JPEG XL is the best for 95%+ of use cases. For audio, we have a AAC-LC, literally as ubiquitous as MP3, truly patent free, and at 128 or 160+kbps, it is within 10% Bitrate difference compared to state of the art codec.

And yet we end up in a world where the only accepted choice is AV1 for video, AVIF for images and Opus for Audio.
This is a bullshit, low-effort comment (to be fair, this article seems to be attracting tons of them).

If you have specific examples of places where corruption, unenforced regulations and disrespect for property rights allowed a wind or solar farm to get built, especially in a way that shows more corruption than other locales, speak up with a source, otherwise you're just bullshitting.

It's not that hard to see why Texas is a leader in solar and wind:

1. There is a lot of land in Texas, and there are tons of "in the middle of nowhere" places where wind or solar farms aren't subject to NIMBYism.

2. Texas actually has extreme respect for property rights (many might argue too much). In contrast to many Western states, there is comparatively little federally owned land - most of it is privately owned ranch land.

3. Texas already has lower regulations and business taxes than many other states - Texas doesn't need corruption to get around stringent regulations.

Texas simply makes it easier to put up a wind or solar farm on any of the huge swaths of privately-owned "emptiness" that cover most of our state.
> Not to nitpick, but the words have no value. The value comes from what you or me assign to them.

Please don’t assume that everyone knows what Cloudflare is doing here, and use the name of the actual product causing breakage and/or elucidate on what it’s supposed to do.

Your article made good and valid points, despite some other responses here-as usual people only care about things like “inclusion” until they want to save a couple characters (like your article discusses about JS and the spirit of the web) and then it’s “tough, sorry you don’t have a state-of-the-art device and setup in your poor country”.
Until you encounter a bowl that flows up when hit with a forward-facing stream instead of down. Too many times has this happened so pay attention.

> It also happened in 2011, and nearly again in 2014

Texas has cheap power though. If I were moving to the US for some reason, I'd consider Texas for it's cheap power then try to mitigate the risks myself. Just because something isn't perfect doesn't mean that changing it makes it better.

You're assuming that 100% reliability is the only acceptable outcome. It is possible 99% reliability and alternate mitigation is the best outcome. If people prepare for the power grid going down from time to time that will also prepare for other events and build up resiliency.

People freezing is really bad. Relying on a large and complex system working in extreme events is also bad, however. This is one for Texans to resolve for themselves, but there is a story here where the problem is actually the resiliency to the grid failing rather than the failures themselves. Cheap power + good emergency procedures is probably going to be a really cheap path, plus hit a whole heap of alternative disaster planning scenarios.

The "<x>BSD is more secure by default" argument always falls very flat to me. In addition to being completely unsourced and unsupported (who ever links to a study when they make this claim?), even if it is true, once you've configured your BSD box for use, you're pretty far from the default so I'm not really sure what the claim is even supposed to say.

Its fine to like BSD, I just wish people were willing to be honest any say it's based on their personal and philosophical preferences, rather than based on any objective metric.
