> Yes, and security has a large performance impact.

Not necessarily. The linked blog talks about SPARK which is about running your code through theorem provers to mathematically formally verify that your code does the correct thing _in all instances_.

Once you have passed this level of verification - you can disable assertions and checks in the release version of the application (whilst of course - having the option of keeping them enabled in development releases).

Not OP, but I think you’ve done a pretty good job laying out your nuanced question / request for additional information. I have the same question, but didn’t feel motivated enough to craft a comment myself, so I’m here validating yours. Cheers
Are you in favor of workers' rights or not? Every job is essential, insofar as declaring any job nonessential under the justification of not-obviously-effective public health policy is arbitrary and an obvious overreach ripe for abuse.

Never mind that sport is healthy. Especially outdoor sport. While the establishment was busy huddling people inside, they should have been making people bask in the sun. Sun kills coronavirus fast, and hard to imagine better ventilation than open air.
Who said websites have to use JS? Your argument is orthogonal to companies using apps to harvest user information, and being blocked by web platform there. There's no reason Facebook, Twitter, etc. has to use JavaScript in their web experience.
They are dirt cheap on eBay if you ever get the itch. No DLNA, though, which your current solution supports. So many guests would be left in the cold.

This is neat and has so many ideas that inspired me for Go-L. I like the GPU and parallelism (and OpenGL). If I took it to a floating point concept, I'd love to do PDE modelling with it too.
Relatively-few lawyers even know what LaTeX is, let alone would be willing to use it for drafting documents for client use.

(At a family reunion a few years ago, I was discussing a book-in-progress with an extended-family member, who at the time was an exec in a very-large Silicon Valley tech company. He was astonished when I mentioned I was using LaTeX, via emacs org-mode, for the manuscript.)

And MS Word is ubiquitously used for contracts and other documents that get circulated for revision, because of Word's redlining- and commenting features. It's a network effect: "Everyone" uses Microsoft Word because "everyone else" uses Microsoft Word.
There is little market anymore. You want to reach Americans, you bow to Apple or Google, jump through absurd hoops, and pay a tax for something you don't even want or need.

There was nothing wrong with the desktop software model. It's all artificial process now. Manual review, no ability to deploy on your own ("release trains" shouldn't be a thing), unnecessary mandatory engineering work to meet new interface guidelines, required opt-ins to programs that further erode your customer relationship ("login with").

I vastly prefer the government to keep hands off, but in this case we've reached the impenetrable event horizon and need a Deus Ex to restore reasonable competition.

Companies should be free to deploy technology to customers without being unduly taxed.

> It is a client/server system, but pulling from $n hosts instead of just 1, spreading out the load and also downtime risk across all $n hosts.

Well the point of peer to peer is that peers share while they download. Otherwise, if everyone only downloads, then it doesn't really get distributed. Also I meant client/server in opposition to p2p. Many non-p2p systems "on the cloud" spread the load and downtime risk across machines, that is independent from the p2p part.

> using BT to download, but then exiting without attempting to seed anything

I am not saying that you should keep sharing after it is downloaded. But typically BT clients "force" you to share while downloading.

> And the reason I mentioned the "ratio currency" is your use of the word "tolerated" here: BitTorrent isn't the mafia, it's just a protocol that offers the ability to share pieces back to the Internet.

Sure, sorry for my english, not my mothertongue :-). I know it is not the mafia, and I know it is a protocol. I used the word "tolerated" to ask whether or not, in practice, that gets you banned.
Saying a document database is the same as a JSON field is a bit reductive.

I think you chose this instead of MongoDB like you would chose SQLite instead of MSSQL. The library is very similar to Mongo's .Net library, so its almost a 1:1 code replacement.
Thank you for sharing your journey.
As a fellow Indian with a similar trajectory, I can totally relate to this.

Although I do fall in the FAANG engineer earning 300k+ in New York, I do believe most of us are the same(desi engineers in TCS/Infosys or on site FAANG) for whom programming/CS/tech is a passion and ambitious/adventurous/lucky to be able to get out of poverty/lower middle class, we hustle and make the best of the hand we are dealt, not everyone gets lucky to crack the FAANG lottery and clear the leetcode hoops FAANG companies throw at you. Personally I feel you should change your attitude to think the peanuts they give you is enough, of-course while keeping your humility and remembering your humble upbringing to appreciate the pay/privilege many others dont have/wont ever get just due to dumb luck, unless some crazy innovation like miniature nuclear fission reactors that give humanity potentially infinite energy and makes everyones life luxurious , in a world of finite resources and potential over population its inevitable there will some overpaid, some underpaid engineers, yet both these sets are paid significantly higher than many many others from a non engineering disciplines.

Traits can have associated types.

trait Foo {
type Bar;
}

Until now, those types had to be concrete, as in the above example. You can implement Foo with `Bar = u32` and `Bar = String` and even `Bar = Vec<bool>`.

trait Foo {
type Bar<T>;
}

That `Bar` type above can now be generic over some other type `T` so you can implement it for `Bar<T> = Vec<T>`, `Bar<T> = Result<T>`, `Bar<T> = Option<T>`, and any other generic type. That's it. That's the whole thing. Use it if it's useful to you.

If you've never needed to write a trait that incorporated an associated type (.AT) which needed to be generic (G..), then this won't mean much to you and that's fine. But you might be using libraries that could be somewhat more ergonomic if they were able to use this feature. The good news is that now that it's been released to stable, a future version of that library can be written more ergonomically.
> With this news, the UK now has more people living in poverty than India (16% vs 22%?)

The severity of poverty in rich western nations is easy to underestimate. There are people in the UK who are underfed, can't afford heat, have to work multiple jobs etc. This kind of poverty does look different than poverty in India - better in some ways, but worse in others - but it is still poverty.

The data on relative poverty is hard to trust, but we also can't trust gut feelings about which countries "must" have more poverty. Perhaps it is true that UK does have a higher fraction of people in some kind of poverty.
Even more incredible is that his own advisor refused to write him letters of recommendation upon graduation [1]

After graduation, Zhang had trouble finding an academic position. In a 2013 interview with Nautilus magazine, Zhang said he did not get a job after graduation. "During that period it was difficult to find a job in academics. That was a job market problem. Also, my advisor [Tzuong-Tsieng Moh] did not write me letters of recommendation." ... Moh claimed that Zhang never came back to him requesting recommendation letters. In a detailed profile published in The New Yorker magazine in February 2015, Alec Wilkinson wrote Zhang "parted unhappily" with Moh, and that Zhang "left Purdue without Moh's support, and, having published no papers, was unable to find an academic job".

In 2018, responding to reports of his treatment of Zhang, Moh posted an update on his website. Moh wrote that Zhang "failed miserably" in proving Jacobian conjecture, "never published any paper on algebraic geometry" after leaving Purdue, and "wasted 7 years of his [Zhang's] own life and my [Moh's] time".

The idea of plain JSON as a format for expressing ABIs is great.

I wish it was in LLVM/GCC out-of-the-box, rather than a separate open source project (whose maintainer only seems to have rather limited time to spend on it). Ideally there would be a standard format so LLVM, GCC, MSVC, etc, could all produce it (obviously with some extension points since each has some unique features the other doesn’t). From memory, the actual JSON produced by c2ffi follows rather closely clang’s internal data structures and so might not be the right design for something intended to be generic.
I can't believe I missed this. I always wondered why getting the types of patterns mentioned in literature were hard. Will definitely need to make an update. Thank you
Bike is beautiful! I'm tempted.

But all my notes are in Notational Velocity (https://notational.net/) at the moment, because the largest source of friction for me is finding note files. In Notational Velocity I never have to open a file dialog; file dialogs on Mac OS are still shockingly slow, and even if they were fast it would take too long to find the file I want. My hands never leave the keyboard; I just type a few characters and Notational Velocity finds the correct note for me.

Do you have any interest in adding an instant search feature, like Notational Velocity? I'd replace it if I could keep the fast search while being able to outline and edit with Bike's fantastic rich text capability.

If they have so much data on us, why is the ad targeting so laughably bad? Facebook has recently been pushing me to watch Hocus Pocus 2. -_-
What was in your engineering ethics course, then? Ours was pretty much summarized by "Rich assholes will try to convince your boss to convince you to do some evil shit in the name of money. It is your obligation to reject such requests". Followed by a painful amount of tragic examples. Like, this may have been the only message of the entire course. The Ethics course in the Philosophy department was way more engaging, because it had a bit more variety.
And thank you for that! Love lib.rs

To your point, at least with Condorcet, you can say that the winner was preferred to every other candidate by a majority of people. That isn't a specification of the counting process, but it seems like a pretty straightforward definition of a winner that most everyone can understand.

Runoff voting seems to completely fall to your criticism, in that the outcome can be non-intuitive and really does depend on the counting process. Heck I understand the algorithm and can still foresee examples where it would feel completely unfair.

The real criticism of Condorcet is the possibility of ties. But really that seems like more of a feature, compared to a greedy algorithm that produces non-intuitive outputs. If there is a Condorcet tie, then that should be considered exceptional and a winner should be chosen some other way. Or heck, maybe the winners should be the whole group of 3+ tied candidates, who'd then need a quorum amongst themselves for every action in office.

Hello HN,

I'm Jules, previously working on Exportator, a solution to generate Parity Promo Codes, now working on pricery.io to help digital products price themselves at PPP prices with Stripe in 5min.

Parity pricing combined with selling in localized currencies is a MAJOR move to increase international sales. They are 3 ways to localize prices:

1/ Display price in local currencies. Aka "cosmetic pricing". Do you know what 670₪‎ is worth? Same for $US for many
2/ Bill in local currencies. I wrote an article on how billing in local currencies help win precious % https://www.pricery.io/blog/how-to-turn-stripe-currency-conv...
3/ Parity pricing. Here is a calculator I made to give one an idea of the how a price feels in another currency: https://www.localizationtools.io/purchasing-power-parity-cal...

Love the topic, would love to know how to help the cause

PS: Regarding VPNs. A, very few people use it to cheat. B, if it makes you feel better, services like ipinfo.io index IP ranges used by VPN providers. Which means to cheat PPP one would have to use private VPN. In other words, 99,9% of VPNs can be detected, in which case, just default back to a $USD price. Pricery helps you offer cosmetic prices, PPP pricing, and VPN protection in 5min out of the box with Stripe. Would love to chat jules@pricery.io

I'm sure it is chaotic, but I'm wondering if the WARN act issue might be kind of overblown.

That is, if they pay people for 60 days or whatever the requirement is, haven't they fulfilled the letter and the spirit of the law?

Telling people they can go home and not come back is strictly better than making them work until their last paycheck.

If they aren't paying people, nevermind.

I think Zhang's previous result was good enough to rebuff Hardy's claims.

I was more just pointing out that this was in the recovery phase, not during the acute infection. I've seen people use this paper as evidence that a covid infection does not increase the risk of CV incidents.

And this seems to be an outlier anyway:

Same. I have moderately large hands (XL motorcycle gloves), and I prefer the iPhone Mini form factor for the exact same reason. Sadly, it looks like it's gone to the graveyard. I haven't seen a flagship Android phone in a similar size recently either.

Psalm 90:10 (probably from about 1000 BC)
Even though it is a styling issue (I want about 1.5), you still need to distinguish the cases to the renderer. If you want different intersentence spacing than interword spacing, you can't just check for the presence of a period -- the rendered versions of abbreviations like "Mr.", "etc.", etc. need to not have two spaces after them. You either need a whole lot of exceptions built-in (which still fails for sentence that end with abbreviations), or to somehow mark the difference. Multiple spaces is still a nice source convention, because it's minimal and shows up approximately correctly.

(LaTeX does do simple finding of periods to support different interword and intersentence spacing. The recommendation is to use ~ after abbreviations; as a non-breaking space it also keeps Mr.~Whatsisname from appearing on two lines.)
My curmudgeonly self would prefer if the stories were off by default. It's not a feature I'm even remotely interested in, and feature creep really isn't a positive thing.

I've tried snapchat and Instagram stories, and I hate that the messages disappear with time. It seems counter-intuitive for an asynchronous communication method, and that doesn't even count how it always feels like another FOMO marketing gag to keep you engaged with the app.

Just let people delete posts (and really delete them to boot).
I started using async generators years ago and using for-await-of loops to consume streaming data and be guaranteed that the processing order is maintained when there are async operations to be performed on each chunk of data. It's difficult to do in any other way; you'd need some kind of queue structure which would make code very difficult to read.

Per my observation over the years, India immigrants are unique at hi-tech job market, when one India became a manager, over one or two years, all his team is pretty much filled up with people from India, this is unseen in other ethnic groups like Chinese, Japanese, or any other races. I can not stop thinking if they violated Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws in US.
The worst part of these types of stories is every time I tell my non-tech friends and family about this stuff, the vast majority respond with: “so what?” They genuinely do not care about their own privacy from companies. Then they bash Facebook or who ever else is in the news most recently about misusing data and can’t connect the dots. It really feels like a losing battle of trying to save people from themselves. :(
I always assumed that's because with people reproductive age precedes cancer age by a long shot, so cancer is not an evolutionary consideration. Blue whales mate till they die, but orcas don't, So I'd expect orcas to have a higher cancer incidence.
I thought cancer is not about the number of cells, but the number of cells that constantly die and have to be recreated (each time a cell is created, it has a chance to be a cancerous one). Maybe whales don't lose as many cells as humans, probably they sit less in the sun...
