I don't think they do, but with Go which is indeed a simple language, the focus is on letting developers build abstractions rather than providing them in the form of opinionated language features.

And that is, in particular with an eye on performance, usually the right call. One of the worst traps in modern programming is rather than people building specific abstractions tailored to their own needs organically, starting out with them and trying to impose language features on a problem.

Unless it completely upends both FISA and the CLOUD act, it won't be valid at all. And there's really no way that the US government will ever accept real, significant limitations on its data gathering reach and authority.

But it will buy companies more time and rope, because it will have to be litigated again. And then we'll go through this whole song and dance again after Schrems III.

Seriously. I think Rust has a lot going for it, but I will say this: the type inference in Rust combined with its expressive type system can make sophisticated programs very hard to follow. My experience was with extensively reading the cargo codebase; trying to figure out what the resulting type of an expression that maps/filters/collects over other complex expressions is a chore.

For example, I find it very hard to figure out what the type of public_dependencies is in this declaration: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/8fbc8459d59f3acecdb6...

This is the same kind of thing that makes JavaScript challenging to read. It requires a lot of discipline on the author’s part to make it clear what is going on, and even the best of us lack discipline at scale.

Privacy – Heading for Schrems III?
I think embedded software will likely switch to Rust (or other non-C/C++ languages) eventually. But that transition will be behind the transition for PC/server software by probably 10 years, partly because these indeustries are just slower to change, partly because support for these kind of environments in languages like Rust isn't as mature as support for more "full OS" environments, partly because these environments are often dependent on proprietary compilers provided by vendors and getting these vendors to ship Rust compilers is going to be a slow uphill battle.

In some ways Rust is (or will be) particularly well suited to these environments. They're hard to debug so the compile-time constraints are particularly helpful. Features like async/await are perfect for modelling interactions with hardware peripherals, etc. But there are still a lot of rough edges. Most embedded development with Rust is still relying on unstable nightly features (particularly more advanced const evaluation). Although the recent stabilisation of GATs helps a lot.

You have to be careful here though, because the "solutions" can be susceptible to the same process, e.g.:

> Use a progressive tax code, so that unusual success is linked to disproportionately greater cost

A progressive tax code is an increase in complexity and is what leads to arbitrage opportunities and multinational corporations in practice paying lower rates than small and medium domestic businesses. Notice that we already have a "progressive tax code" and it hasn't worked.

A better (simpler) solution is to combine a flat tax rate (e.g. VAT) with a UBI, which produces the effective rate curve you want while being harder for megacorps to avoid because they can't change the location of their customers.

On the other hand, this one is likely to actually work:

> Develop as many complex, inscrutable, and diverse market trading instruments as possible, vesting on as many timescales as possible. (In nature, more complex ecosystems are more stable. Maybe there is a parallel for markets?)

Because, somewhat counterintuitively, what you want is the combination of regulatory simplicity and regulatory diversity. In other words, every place has simple rules, but every place has different rules, which prevents monoculture.

The last thing you want is complex regulation imposed centrally, as it prevents anything from out-competing it when it goes wrong until it goes very wrong.

When this google-font stuff came up here in Germany, I was wondering if using CDNs also need permission first. I did some googeling for my ghost blog with no clear solution (ths standard gost blog uses jsdelivr). After reading the text: you need permission to load scrips etc. through CDNS.

This is bad, since most of the software does not offer to locally host the required scripts.
The function is a bit more meta that that. It's easier to manufacture because you just fold a giant sheet of metal. You also get rid of all the work and costs associated with painting. In theory this should bring down the price.

In terms of user function, the idea of a rustproof car really appeals to me since I live in Ontario and cars get literally covered in a thick layer of salt in the winter.

As you probably noticed, I don't care much for it as a truck. I would prefer the same thing as a car, but hey, you gotta start somewhere. Hopefully this will tricked down to cars someday.

Seems like the failure was imagining that smart people don't make mistakes. Smart people make tons of mistakes and they are confident in their ability to correct and improve. They aren't fragile and afraid to be wrong in public because they know saying 'I don't know' isn't a death sentence.

Regular people generally just sit in one place improving nothing, learning nothing, changing little year over year. Terrified of being "caught out as an imposter" whatever that means.

The difference isn't smart/not smart. It's movement vs stationary.
Is algae the new kale?
From the marketwatch article it sounds like this was essentially a hostile attack from Binance, first dumping the token to collapse the price, then pretending to be interested in an acquisition to keep FTX from looking at other emergency measures, then pulling out at the last minute.

Compare this to traditional finance with events like the collapse of Lehman, then Bear Stearns, with Morgan Stanley next in line to fall. Their competitors stepped in, with a major push from the Fed, to prevent the collapse because they knew it would trigger a domino effect that would crash prices and bring them all down. Binance seems to be doing the exact opposite.
That's unfair - I read the description at length, and quite honestly, I still can't understand why i'd ever use it. It looks like buzzwords over real use-cases. The partner, Finder, is known for making these types of devices, and outside of the "Arduino" stamp, they've made a device that has been in-market (and relatievly unused) for half a decade already.

This will not be a real option for IOT.

For what they are trying to claim is the target, I'd either use a PLC, or to your point, i'd mount a raspberry pi or embedded arm device.

As you say, the raspberry PI i understand - people need something to drive HMI/etc that isn't the horrible mess that most automation providers provide.

They want something to just hook a camera up to and not worry about spending 2 years writing codesys drivers or whatever.

This is trying to tread a middle ground, but the middle ground has better options - industrial PI with builtin PLC support, for example (https://www.industrialshields.com/industrial-plc-raspberry-p...)

That's because Arduino is sort of the worst of both worlds - they are actually horrible at pretty horrible at WiFi. Bluetooth i haven't tried in a while but it was also really bad. They are okay at I/O, but nothing is guaranteed in a meaningful way.

So as an option for IoT, it sucks.

At a slightly higher level, NRF does a much better job of producing rock-solid devices and ecosystem that can do bluetooth/wifi well, and throw in I/O.

At a lower level, everything equally sucks at wifi/bluetooth as this thing.

It’s amazing how far we’ve come in 16 years - dual core dual socket processors to behemoths like this, which are faster per clock, faster per core and so dense as to make what would have been a rack’s worth of x86 compute possible in 1U

I know it’s incredibly unlikely I’ll see one of those in person, but hopefully these will result in serious cost improvements for low power cloud vms.
To see this all you have to do is interview at a few "prestigious" financial companies.

A while back I interviewed with one of the top trading firms. It was for a lower level position that I normally wouldn't take but I was excited about the prospect of working with some truly brilliant quants.

Wow was I disappointed. The discussion with the quants quickly relieved that they had absolutely zero interest in their field, and not a particularly deep understanding of the fundamentals of the mathematics they were using. It became clear that their entire course of study was focused on getting in to high paying financial company, and all the things they had to learn on the way there were just boring prereqs.

I've met a lot of really talented and smart applied math people over my career, and this quant team was not in that groups of people.

That said all the engineers I chatted with were great. My takeaway was that these companies do need talented engineers to run these systems but the "brilliant quants" is more or less just, as you say, the illusion of superior competence.
The flipside of electrification of vehicles is all the extra metal they need to mine, which is highly environmentally destructive.

We don't even have the metal supplies to fully electrify car production, not even close, although I see South America is going to ramp up production substantially soon.
> wages should be set Solely and Exclusively to the value we bring to the organization

This isn't true now and has never been true. Otherwise frontline workers would make a lot more and CEOs would make a lot less. Wages already have skewed dynamics based on a bunch of arbitrary reasons. Saying that people with kids should get a bit more salary I don't think is that much more controversial than saying a permanent employee should get paid more than a someone from a temp agency that does the exact same work (and hence the same value to the organization).
> Can you describe how a bank uses money that it has to originate loans?

Yes.

If I take a loan out of a bank in physical banknotes, then the bank physically loses the amount of banknotes that I physically receive. Physical banknotes are not duplicated. If I take out 100 euros in physical banknotes, then the bank loses the corresponding 100 euros in physical banknotes. The bank does not magically create physical banknotes out of thin air.

If I take a loan out of a bank in the form of electronic transfer to another bank, then usually one of 2 things happen:

1. The receiving bank requires the sending bank to settle all transfers that occurred throughout a timespan such as 1 day, by transferring reserves held at the central bank. For example, if the net outflow from bank A to bank B is +2M, then bank B would require bank A to transfer 2M of reserves to settle the transfers. Note that also in this case bank A loses the amount of money that it lent to me. Money wasn't duplicated. It was transferred out of the bank.

or

2. The receiving bank B has looked through the books of sending bank A, they have a prior relationship, and bank B provides an unsecured loan to bank A. Note that if bank A actually had 0 money anywhere, then bank B wouldn't want to provide bank A an unsecured loan. In this case bank A does not lose physical banknotes, and does not lose reserves held at the central bank, but they still have to record the unsecured loan. In an accounting sense, they didn't magically gain "free money" by providing a loan to their customer.

> This description of money creation contrasts with the notion that banks can only lend out pre-existing money, outlined in the previous section. Bank deposits are simply a record of how much the bank itself owes its customers. So they are a liability of the bank, not an asset that could be lent out

I believe this is referring to the creation of the accounting entry. It's true in the most pedantic sense, which is incredibly misleading and unhelpful. Yes, when you type a number into a computer, you can type any number. If I were to open a business where I operate like a bank, taking deposits from people and loaning money to people, and I were to keep a ledger of how much money each person has at their "accounts" with me, I could type any number I want in that ledger. Let's say I type in "9999999999999 dollars". Sure, why not. If your argument is that one can type in any number they want on a computer, then that's true, but it's not a useful argument to make.

Do you think that a bank which has NO MONEY is able to (in a practical sense) create infinite money out of thin air? Sure it can type "9999999999999 dollars" on a computer, but that wouldn't be "real money" in any practical sense, because you wouldn't be able to exchange it for goods and services.

Follow-up question: if you genuinely believe this to be possible, then why isn't anybody doing that? Surely there are many people working at banks who would like to collude with their friends and family to create infinite money. If you believe that to be possible, why has it literally never happened?
Apple will hopefully not do what they did with Maps.

E.g. force people to use it when you click search and make it the default.

For Maps, if you tap an address it will advertise where to download apple maps even if you want to use google maps (it’s a tragedy that Apple is introducing advertising within iOS). Apple Maps still doesn’t work well outside of the city, so it’s incredibly annoying.

Search would probably go the same way, it will default to second rate Apple results and make you jump through hoops to use google even if you want to.

It’s amazing Apple doesn’t realize that the software made the iPhone worth using more-so than the hardware, and now they are trying to have their cake and eat it. As they start to sherlock every industry supporting the iPhone, one would think regulators would take notice as their global profit share is now approaching >80% for smartphones.

Companies like Google often have several tiers of VP: VPs, Senior VPs, sometimes even Executive VPs, etc. It means that it's a manager very high in the hierarchy, but due to the company being big enough, there's non trivial amount of people like them among managers.

Really? You must not have been alive during the Cold War 1

Edit: watch Red Dawn, read the article, and comment back with your comparison of treatment of Soviet Russia.

In my reading of the article the only negative statement about the Soviet society was the statement that they lied about the time of death and fictionalized the science for propaganda. The rest of it reads as a humanizing story of the dog and it’s experience without a specific political agenda. I could very well have imagined any other society as the context. I feel you must be overly sensitized to have read this as anti Soviet.

Show HN: ShowMeYourHotKeys – A macOS app to show applications menu shortcuts
Hi everyone,

ShowMeYourHotKeys is a macOS application I worked for the last months. This app shows the frontmost app's menu items shortcuts (it also have some other features)

There is a beta version available on the website.

Accessibility permission is necessary to obtain menu items informations and Full disk Access is necessary to create custom shortcuts.

I would love to hear all the feedbacks and suggestions.

Thank you for your attention.
I can’t see EU’s balkanization in positive light either. Seems good ol protectionism instead of actually innovating. Privacy is a trope, they give away data at US’s whim.
There are better approaches. For example a supplier could sell you 5 kWh per day at a fixed price, and anything extra you use is at instant market price, with some kind of pay-as-you-use system.

Then if the prices go sky high, users who chose that plan at least get to use 5kWh each day. 5kWh is plenty to not freeze and to keep your phone charged and fridge going. If you want more, you can pay more.

The UK already has a system of electricity meters that have a 'balance', and when the balance reaches zero it cuts off till more credit is added. Such a scheme integrates well with that, and means a user can never rack up a massive unexpected bill if the price goes crazy high or low.
That means silently killing off potentially large amounts of editing history every time you edit after an undo. That's the problem this article is about.
The CXL implementation is exciting! A shared memory bank that's concurrently-accessible in a cache-coherent manner? The possibilities are enormous! This is huge for distributed computation where the biggest bottleneck is oftentimes just copying data to and from nodes over the network, not to mention the potential for high-availability systems and how this could be used in database servers.

I wish I could get my hands on some of these systems.
As an eastern european myself, I wish it was as heavily enforced as it is in western europe - anyone found to have modified their truck to bypass emission reducing devices should have the truck siezed and ordered to pay fines so heavy the thought of doing it again wouldn't even cross their minds.

And yes, I'm aware that even dealerships offer removing DPFs/GPFs as an option when buying a new car, because somehow people from my country think they live on a different planet with inexhaustable supply of fresh air, and somehow can't connect in their brains the relation between filthy, sooty air that we breathe and automotive exhausts. No no, it's all an evil plot by the west to make us pay for costly filter replacements, so it's better to cut it out right at the start when the car is brand new<mind explodes>.
