I believe the only publicly available output of this team has been whatever has been published to the Inside Rust blog. If you read the blog post I linked in my previous comment (their most recent one), it outlines their plans.

For full disclosure, this leadership chat was created in the fallout of the mod team resigning (of which I was a member). And I think it's a good thing, because it's getting a bunch of people talking that weren't talking before. And, as the blog post outlined, they're working towards producing an RFC to revamp part of Rust governance. Which... I think is needed.

It's just that... they are also making other decisions now. Whether that's beyond their mandate or not, I don't know. But it's certainly continuing the tradition of the Core Team, which started doing this a couple years ago. And whether they were within their mandate to do such things is also not clear to me.
Most games don't allow you to script them because you wouldn't be playing them as intended, for better or worse. Secondly, if we're talking about games with a multiplayer element, it would allow you to gain an advantage against those players that play in the intended way (this group also being considered the target audience by the devs, again, for better or worse).

On the other hand, people modify and script games anyway. It happen for both games that permit it, and games that condone it, and even for games that try to prevent it. It takes the form of mods and cheats.

And lastly, as other have pointed out, there's plenty of games that are actually designed to be played through scripting. I'll add one example here that I've enjoyed playing a little: https://screeps.com/
We are talking about a hypothetical situation where someone was asked to be content with a $200k salary in a high cost metro.

In this scenario the person has made the decision that it isn’t really that great of a salary considering cost of living, yet you’re on here getting angry this person is being “entitled”. No decision was made to accept this salary as a good one in this scenario.
With all these wiki apps coming out, I'm disappointed that Bear is still the only one that focuses on images.

I keep notes about design and photography, but even for non-visual topics, I like to add an image, just so that my brain can make an association between it and the topic. For example, a logo or a screenshot of the landing page.

Because Bear displays one or two images in the note list, I feel like I can more easily scan it.
Tech groups cut jobs and pause hiring amid ‘leaner times’

type classes ARE interfaces and they ARE categories. You can say the the programming methodology is influenced from OOP using this concept. But as a taxonomy the naming is improper. Categories is the most rigorously defined vocabulary for this concept. The term becomes inconistently taxonomied when coupled with OOP. It's historical baggage because Categories/Interfaces essentially were popularized by OOP.

OOP is not formally agreed upon in academia there is no consensus. So your reliance on academia here is flawed. Use your own brain rather then blindly trusting others. You know about the replication crisis right? Science is found to be wrong over 50% of the time especially in fields like psychology. Don't be blind.

Because the ad-fueled tech sector companies are driving employment? And which of these companies are fueled by immense amounts of debt (traditionally a mainstay of capital intensive industries, which tech is not).

Stimulus packages may have goosed demand but low interest rates should in theory* increase supply, since capital must be applied to useful purposes rather than sitting in a bank collecting interest.

HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.0 use TCP as the transport, so not only do you have the TCP overhead, but you have the HTTP overhead. There is additional overhead if using HTTPS.

traceroute on UN*X uses UDP by default. There is no overhead when using UDP.

ICMP Echo, I'm not sure about, but I don't believe it has overhead, but as I said, it is a depriortized and possibly rate-limited by routers.
If "a messenger that works" is a narrow lens, then sure. WhatsApp is still as secure as it ever was and everyone is already on it.

Signal had one feature it did better than its competitors and that's allowing integration of SMS. That feature is now getting killed because of RCS issues. With all my contacts on similar chat apps, I don't see why I should keep Signal installed once they remove the SMS feature, let alone why I should convince my grandma to make the switch.

"But Facebook is evil and wants to control you and wants to suck your blood" yes and so do the companies that made our phones and mobile operating systems. What's the point of Signal's openness (well, "open", they did stop uploading the source code for a while when they were adding in their crypto scheme) if you still use it on a proprietary phone.

And no, Linux on neither mobile devices nor the desktop is grandma-ready.
You'll only be able to use that if you are using the non-default `--noEmit` configuration, which requires the use of some other tool to strip types. Even after that change, using `tsc` to strip types will still force you to write `.js` in your imports.
> Like it or not meta lost the PR war

I don't disagree. HackerNews comments + Reddit insist the Meta is the worst thing ever.

Why? I don't know? Because HackerNews comments + Reddit sentiment said so? I'd love to learn why the company is so hated.

It can't be ignored that tons of people still "trust them enough" (begrudginly?) to use their products. Sure, a very vocal minority will say "I'm Meta free/use none of their products!" but that's not what their earnings shows trend wise.

Content is still going to be beholden to the master of bias; but we would then know whose bias is beholden to.

Good ol' days would have two, three or more competing newspapers of which different folks can buy from: now it is just one newspaper (or none) which is THE problem (of a different kind than what OP is asserting about).

Yup!

Though the issue they are trying to solve appears to be having too many staff (overall).

Understaffing is almost always a local/team level concern.

As long as nothing important implodes after the cuts, it’s working as intended from their perspective.

The line and middle managers are the ones who always get really screwed in these situations, as they’re the ones responsible for figuring out how to keep who they need and keep things running (and growing!) while having the rug pulled out from under them staffing wise (and probably in other ways too).

This is when you figure out what (if any) power they have, how well they can prioritize, and what their personal character really is.

Will they level with people, cut things that don’t matter (as much), even if it’s a hard decision, give people flexibility where it matters, go up to bat for folks who it’s important that be done?

Or will they deflect, throw people under the bus to avoid making hard calls, and emotionally manipulate who’s left to keep things afloat while burning them out and underpaying them?
> But if you printed money endlessly and gave it all to Jeff Bezos, there would be no competitive pressure to see prices rise in the general economy. He might try to buy up all the real estate or stocks, driving asset inflation, but there is little reason for him to buy up all the bread to see it appear in CPI where we measure general inflation.

The connection isn't all that obvious, but there is indeed a connection between fresh money being invested in financial asset XY and price for bread rising. Even though the investor did not buy up piles of bread, they created pressure on some scarce resources in the value chain on the way to bread. Those are energy, base materials, labour force, ...

Whenever an institution (central bank, commercial bank, ..) creates fresh money and this money gets invested in something, a portion of total global resource allocation (towards different end products) gets shifted. Shifted means that some end products see an increase of costs in their value chain, which leads to higher prices.

Example: commercial banks in some country xy are allowed to lend more due to some changes in the rules for fractional reserve banking. The banks currently have some kind of skew in their allocation of lending, meaning they don't just lend exactly proportional to current total allocation of credit. Let's say they lend more (in respect to current allocation) to real estate development businesses than to bakeries. This means that the real estate sector now has more bidding power for all the scarce resources (energy, raw materials, ...) than the bread sector. So there's new demand for energy from the real estate sector which makes energy prices rise. Voilà, bakeries spend more on energy, bread prices rise as well.

And all that without "someone buying up all the bread".

Injecting fresh money in the financial sector will lead to real world resource reallocation, which will put pressure on sectors that don't even seem to be involved.
A plain Jevko parser simply turns your unicode sequence into a tree which has its fragments as leaves/labels.

No data types on that level, much like in XML.

Now above that level there is several ways to differentiate between them.

The simplest pragmatic way is a kind of type inference: if a text parses as a number, it's a number, if it's "true" or "false", it's a boolean. Otherwise it's a string. If you know the implicit schema of your data then this will be sufficient to get the job done.

Otherwise you employ a separate schema -- JC in particular has per-parser schemas anyway, so that's covered in this case. If it wouldn't, you'd need to write a schema yourself.

Or you do "syntax-driven" data types, similar to JSON, e.g. strings start w/ "'".

Here is a shitty demo: https://jevko.github.io/interjevko.bundle.html

It shows schema inference from JSON and the schemaless (syntax-driven) flavor.

Jevko itself is stable and formally specified: https://github.com/jevko/specifications/blob/master/spec-sta...

It's very easy to write a parser in any language (I've written one in several) and from there start using it.

However, I am still very much working on specifications for formats above Jevko. I have some recent implementations of the simplest possible format which converts Jevko to arrays/objects/strings:

* https://github.com/jevko/easyjevko.lua

* https://github.com/jevko/easyjevko.js

The schema-driven format that was used in the demo is implemented here:

* https://github.com/jevko/interjevko.js

Correct. And available for Windows, but not Xbox.
Keep in mind when the fed talks about lower demand, that includes lower labor demand. They are likely to be forced to push demand to recession levels if they want it to match supply across the board. More lockdowns in China is certainly not helping on the supply side, and the latest jobs report showed the labor market not loosening.

As a non-Haskeller, the only tool I can think of interacting with that has any Haskell is Hasura's graphql-engine[0], which GitHub stats say is 28% Haskell (and then like 55% web languages, so I assume the backend is all Haskell and the web languages are for the UI it presents etc)

Are there other popular Haskell tools? Or is it more of an academic language? I was surprised to see it on the GitHub repo.

That's what makes it illegal? What if it's done on a private forum that the victim never finds out about? What if the victim is, say, dead? I don't think those change the legality.

Some colleagues in Toronto were telling me about how there was a demonstration there last Saturday morning pertaining to this situation.

The demonstrators lined up along the sidewalk of one of the main streets, and were loudly chanting and screaming for a few hours. Others drove by and honked their vehicles' horns.

This was apparently done along stretches of the street with large residential complexes nearby, too.

Based on the bystanders, residents, and other people that my colleagues talked to, they seemed to think that this disruption likely alienated far more people than it attracted to support this particular cause.

Show HN: A chat website for people who want to just chat
Hello everyone! I built MeroChat as an alternative to the countless video/group chats out there. In a nutshell: text based, 1-on-1, and platonic interactions only.

It works like this: fill your profile as much as you want for conversation starters and let the site suggest you people to chat with. Suggestions cannot be filtered in any way, only skipped. As a form of moderation, some features are only available after a certain amount of karma has been earned.

Feedback is highly welcomed. You can try it without signing up by clicking on "I want to chat without an account" :)

Long term climate change is a complex beast. A buteryfly flaps its wings etc.

Some models have Europe getting warmer, some colder, some both warming (in summer) and colder (in winter).

Europe has a lot of variesty. London and Kyiv are the same latitude, London is 9 degrees warming in Winter and 2 degrees colder in Summer due to the ocean.

Halifax, Nova Scotia and Bordeaux are about the same latitude too, and both on the ocean. Halifax is 11 degrees colder in winter and 3 degrees in summer.

While the gulf stream pumps heat into Europe, winters will remain milder, but if that changes in some fashion they'll get far colder
> Focusing on the corporate profitability kind of misses the forest for the trees - prices are higher because there is just less stuff.

I don’t think the article missed that. Their major point was that the reduction in supply and increase in demand for goods (as opposed to services, which collapsed during the pandemic) gave them outsized power over setting prices.

> If this is so much more successful than suppressing wages, why not do this this whole time?

Because if there is not constraints in the supply chain, it’s not an option. When supply is able to meet or exceed demand, only illegal price fixing can do what you’re suggesting.

I don't understand the downvotes. You're expressing your opinion nothing else.

That said, I generally agree with you. Layers of abstraction have a cognitive cost. That cost might be paid for by gains due to those abstractions, but the costs exist nonetheless. Whether this is bothersome is up to the programmer in question, but it is certainly a legitimate concern.
