> You just claimed to know how it works and that your opinion is correct.

No I didn’t. This is easily googled and not a matter of my opinion. You don’t need to take my word for it.

> Surely if it's common practice for brands to stop advertising on media that are "uncool", there must have been events in the past that have taught them a lesson.

That doesn’t logically follow. It’s simply about avoiding negative associations. Brand damage is hard to repair, so brand advertising by established brands tends to be conservative - I.e. they don’t advertise in questionable places and wait for the damage.

Brand marketing is about building associations in peoples minds. Again - don’t take my word for it - do some reading about branding.
My point was specifically about an exchange since the claim was "Everything here could have been done with any non-crypto exchange".

I fully agree with your point about bank deposits. Unlike ftx, however, the banks are tightly regulated and monitored.
What if we paid auditors by the fraud discovered. That auditors finding fraud and other misdeeds get the highest seniority on any assets left.

I mean, there has to be some answer to the problem of an auditor that says "I don't like the way you treat this income stream" and the CEO says "we will never work with you again and I will make sure everyone I golf with never will again."
dead_code is required because Rust compiles each integration test as a separate crate. This causes spurious warnings to be emitted if you want to share code between tests. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/46379

Modules and crates continues to be one of the most confusing aspects of Rust, for me at least.
I wonder if there's some sort of implicit "you hype my product and I'll hype yours" deal that these people have.

One correction - a typical coal burning power plant is approximately 33% efficient at converting fuel to energy [https://www.energy.gov/fecm/transformative-power-systems], and combined cycled natural gas power plants are 45-57% efficient. [https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/natural-gas...]

Direct ICE vehicles are between 11-27% efficient. [https://sciendo.com/pdf/10.2478/rtuect-2020-0041]

So even a inefficient coal plant is about 50% more efficient than a very efficient normal ICE car, and combined cycle natural gas IS 2x more efficient than a very efficient normal ICE car - and about 5x more efficient than a non-efficient ICE car.

Lots of cross comparisons can be made, but on overage, even with transmission losses, charging losses, etc. it would be very unusual for an EV + power plant combo to be less efficient end to end than directly fueling a traditional ICE vehicle. If it was, it would likely just be a few percent.

CapEx is a real concern here of course, and logistics.

But opex and energy efficiency are solidly in the EV camp.
What makes you say that C++ is leading in productivity? I'm not seeing C++ web applications, or machine learning frameworks. From my own experience, managed languages are easier to write for as well, especially with the average C++ code base which barely touches upon C++14.

If productivity is "the current war", then languages like Go, Python, Rust, Elixir, and TypeScript are definitely fighting it, and it's not clear to me that any has significant lead in anything but limited areas.
And even among households that do have so many devices, aren't the kids' devices typically "replaced" with hand-me-downs from the grownups rather than with totally brand-new devices?
Good guess, but I think I found what it actually was: Toll-Free Bridging[1]. Basically how you can use many Core Foundation types and NeXTSTEP classes interchangeably, like CFLocaleRef and NSLocale.

Never really had to use it myself, at least IIRC, but I was aware of the concept generally. But because I didn't answer by saying 'Toll-Free Bridging', I was done.

I imagine this is usually because these countries sign long-term supply agreements at fixed prices. This is good because it guarantees stability of demand for companies, but obviously bad if gas prices go up after signing said agreement.
I am very skeptical by my nature, and see it more as a negative trait. But there are moments when I want to shout from the top of my lungs: "Who in their right mind gonna use it, not talking about buying it?!". I remember two such cases: that voice rooms app, where people gathered and talked about themselves and of course crypto tokens, and this remotely running browser for $30/month.

I beleive, by the way, that the idea of a fast browser for cheap devices came to founder after reading story about Browserling, QA multibrowser suite, going viral in India, where people with $20 phones were able to use WhatsApp webapp via Browserling free plan (HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16103235). Coincidentially, I heard that voice room app (I am not being sarcastic here, I really forgot it's name and don't think it's worth googling) also became succesfull in India.
> Called it here back when it launched. Streaming video of a slightly more powerful browser in a browser (electron) never made sense to me.

Wait, the client was an Electron app? Are you serious?

If so, this just goes from a poorly-executed idea to an outright fraud.

The line between syntax and functionality is pretty thin for an assembler.

I've definitely had code that some assemblers accepted and others didn't on the same arch, so even if they could be equally expressive in practice they aren't. Fairly sure that's also true of inline assembly on clang x64, had to change between intel and at&t for something a while ago.

Yea you are right about PNG but wrong about WARC. Archive.ph doesn't use WARC.
The reason it’s breaking down is you’re using it out of context — at least in my understanding. It is primarily a B2B analogy, and you’re talking about consumer tech.

In B2B people buy painkillers because then they don’t have to do that painful part of their job. They rarely buy vitamins (although some do) because those might require them to do more.

It’s fundamentally about outsourcing/automating your own functions.
Absolutely, assuming the inputs were the same (ie that you don’t have to chase the ‘bare minimum employee and don’t have to give more support to the ‘grinding’ one).

Personally i’ll take the grinding person any day though, they tend to be much easier to manage.

Not to defend Musk but, as a matter of fact, he has written his fair share of code so he probably knows what he's talking about in this case.

I just refreshed twitter's home page and for me it made 111 http requests (per Chrome's dev tools). That includes static resources like images and style sheets. So only ~10% are made from the browser and the other 90% must be due to microservice architecture on the backend, I suppose?
I'd love to see some sort of caching proxy that did this for news stories, etc.

I'm responding to:

> Balance it against nothing. The beneficiaries are not the same people as the victims.

This makes two claims:

1. That the woman that was hired is not at risk of discrimination.

I challenge the truth of this statement, because as the research I linked shows, it seems likely there are still biases against women in hiring processes even today.

2. That women are no longer disadvantaged when it comes to their likelihood of pursuing a STEM career and getting into the field.

I challenge the truth of this statement, because some research also shows there are still socio-cultural biases that turn women away from the field.

Now it's not because I challenge the truth of those statements that I claim to know the truth myself. I don't know the truth.

To me, right now, it appears that:

1. Women still face bias in hiring

2. Women are oddly not pursuing STEM careers

3. Socio-culturaly you can see that it wouldn't be as attractive to women to do so

4. There's a nature vs nurture question mark, but it's hard to say women naturally don't like STEM as much, given there's clearly socio-cultural influences at play, so how do you isolate that variable?

When I take all this, I feel there's a lot of reasons you might want to try to balance things out.

You might want to balance out the still existent hiring bias.

You might want to balance the discrepancy in gender in the field.

You might want to balance the socio-cultural influence, to try and reverse them, making STEM more appealing to women.

Now I say "you might", because it'll depend on your values, but if you value equal opportunity for women, wanting to try and balance those things seem logical to me.

> Should I get some kind of preferential lanes, even thought nothing of the sort ever happened to me?

Possibly yes. There are second order effects to the discrimination your family suffered. If some of those have affected you as well, you wouldn't have gotten the same opportunities as your peers whose family wouldn't have been discriminated against. Maybe the ripple stoped short and you weren't impacted at all, but we can reason some cases where it wouldn't have, and children of discriminated ancestry would even today be impacted by those second order effects.

> What about truck divers' industry, where what you are claiming as discrimination is undisputable?

I don't know anything about the truck driving industry, so I can't speak to it. But if there's bias and socio-cultural influences that affect people's opportunity I'd probably think the same.
> but very eurocentric

And Christian European to boot. Take: "But for centuries in Europe, nobody openly defended, and few dared to imagine the possibility of, greater sexual freedom for both men and women; and no one discussed alternative sorts of relationships. There was one exception: a few authors defended male polygamy, as sanctioned in the Bible."

I know very little about the Iberian peninsula under Islamic rule, but reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abd_al-Rahman_III with "His natural hair was described as being reddish-blond, and he apparently wished to avoid looking like a Visigoth (from many European concubines in his ancestry), desiring to look more like an Umayyad Arab." makes me pretty certain that that non-monogamous {wife + concubine(s)} was established in that part of Europe.

"Polygyny , Concubinage, and the Social Lives of Women in Viking-Age
Scandinavia" byt Ben Raffield, Neil Price, and Mark Collard at https://www.brepolsonline.net/doi/pdf/10.1484/J.VMS.5.114355 also points out evidence for multiple wives and concubines in Scandinavia. And it adds "it is estimated that 85 per cent of societies in the anthropological record have practised some degree of polygyny, and many societies around the world continue to do so today".

Ridiculous to gatekeep something that you don’t even identify as being part of yet.
> Github Copilot solved my business problem by itself just as I would've done. Is that real-world enough and the solution generalized enough?

No, it isn't. Co-Pilot is unable to provide a rationalisation for the generated code and is incapable of assessing its security or performance properties.

It's a very advanced auto-complete that just happens to have been specialised on auto-completing code.
If big boys take out the funding from key projects, meaning stop paying their employees to contribute, everything would crumble.

Why do they pay? As means to drive ecosystems into the products that actually provide money, like cloud, SaaS and hardware, closed source.

Nah, predicting failure or success is exactly the same thing.

VCs don't simply predict success and bet; they use their power to make it happen or crush it.

Overall, I have a very low confidence level in most of the stories told by VCs about themselves, and I am not sure about their positive influence in the economy or technology.
I seem to recall estimates on various EV conversion forums that regen braking saves 5-10% range at best, and the more efficiently you drive normally, the less difference it makes.
There is something to be said about flow in mechanical activities, because on those, yes, you are mostly not thinking, just following the "rhythm". Safety is normally one of the first things to get out of your head during that.

But programing is nothing like mechanical activities.

I believe that is referring a different technique called resistance breathing, where the intent is to cause your diaphragm to do a bit of extra work.

Boxed breathing is just about the rhythm and can be done through the nose.

I've tried both (in resistance breathing you inhale, then exhale through pursed lips over a minute or so, repeat three times) - and they seem both to make me more relaxed and less anxious.

Great read. I'm not able to comment on the realism of this scenario, but it seems plausible enough.
My thought as well. CO2 gets dispersed in the atmosphere and is produced each time you burn fuel. Panels stay in place, the waste is produced several orders of magnitude less and you can collect it in the same form you produced it.

It has to be so much better.
Safe Rust and Go eliminate one class of bugs, memory errors. They do not eliminate bugs in the business logic.

Does this mean that eliminating memory errors is not worth it? I don’t think so. In C you have both memory errors and business logic bugs. So it takes more effort to get C code right than Rust.
I trained my own models, actually. Also tried many of the vector search engines out there. But ended up with a custom solution using hnswlib and SQLite to get subsecond speed with millions of documents.
Which means that if Mighty survived the M1 it would have been dead anyway (probably in not more than a few months) by Azure and AWS offering it once Mighty proved the market.
I'm not sure if this is fraud, or simply how VCs operate, but we're going to see a massive collapse of SaaS startups and their customers in the near future. This is why:

1) Tech valuations over the past ~5 years were based entirely on annual revenue multiples. 25x was the norm, while 50-100x wasn't hard to find.

2) Let's say your VC firm owns 5% of CompanySaaS, which you paid $1M for, and the company is valued at 25x ARR ($800k * 25).

3) Now you invest $100k in CompanyWhatever. As their VC and valued advisor, convince them they should spend $100k/yr utilizing CompanySaaS's products.

4) CompanySaaS is now worth $900k * 25 (probably higher multiple since revenue is growing so fast), or $22.5M, and you just turned $100k into $125k.

Rinse and repeat. It's a self-perpetuating bubble, and it's going to come crashing down hard. It's already happened but they've still got enough runway for another 6-24mos.
Newspapers, iPods, blackberries, the modern smartphone. The effect on the mind gets progressively worse from these things. I'll often go out somewhere without my phone, but I'll bring a book or newspaper and I easily get more distracted by what's happening around me and can't focus on reading. A smartphone? The apocalypse could be happening and my mind unchecked wouldn't pull its attention away the screen.

I lived in the area after completion of the big dig and often commuted through the tunnel.

My experience is a blue background with a white rectangle covering most of the background when clicking on your submission link. I browse without JS enabled by default and I can't read your website at all.

I wouldn't bother rising this on most HN submissions because that doesn't follow HN guidelines, but here I feel like it's important.

I'm attached to the Web being browsable without running random/untrusted/non-free 3rd party code written in a Turing complete language.

I'm likely not the target to this: I will write my own HTML. However, I'm looking for (FLOSS) tools to recommend to people who don't have the skills to write their website by hand. I can't recommend this because I'm not sure it will produce websites respecting the long forgotten [1] graceful degradation / progressive enhancement principles, since the home page of the tool does not respect them. (I won't expect the app itself to work without JS, it's fine, it's an app (vs a document)).

Good luck with your project!

[1] Yes, it depresses me to think I'm going to die on this hill alone or with few people, it seems like the web has gone off from graceful degradation and requires a VM to be read now and we are not really going back from this.
The central issue with “simple” productivity tools is that everyone wants a different 10-40% of what Jira does. There’s a reason most of us end up begrudgingly giving money to Atlassian.
I think there's a bit more to the story. It was before my time, but as I understand it the most widely used Unix for the 8086 was XENIX (initially a Microsoft product, later sold to SCO), which used Intel-syntax MASM as its assembler.

XENIX for 386 was based on AT&T System V/386, which introduced the AT&T syntax to 32-bit x86. I've found some references to 32-bit XENIX still using an assembler called "masm" but I don't know if it was still based on Microsoft's MASM or just called that for compatibility, or whether it was AT&T or Intel syntax. Also by that point compilers and assemblers weren't included in the base OS anymore, but a "development kit" sold separately.

The Minix compiler and assembler also used Intel syntax.
It's unclear to me (no sarcasm) why tech debt is an issue. I would be grateful if someone could explain why they would need to cut down on tech debt in order to keep the product in a functional holding pattern. Obviously there are going to be things that break and new exploits that need to be taken into consideration, but when I think about tech debt I imagine kludge-ridden, inelegant/inefficient code that is poorly documented.

As with Meta and Alphabet, Twitter's major problem right now is ad revenue.

The final earnings report prior to the acquisition stated that uncertainty around Musk's then-incomplete acquisition of Twitter contributed to a dip in ad revenue. Perhaps it was counterproductive for Twitter to put that sentiment in writing as part of their note to shareholders, insofar as it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. They communicated to the public -- including advertisers -- that advertisers would hesitate to continue advertising on Twitter due to the pending deal (and, inductively, that they have good reason to do so).

As with Meta, Twitter's revenue derives almost entirely from its ad business. Other ad-funded tech firms have faced similar headwinds in 2022, so if Twitter is facing a one-two punch of deal uncertainty and secular headwinds, it seems wise to batten down the hatches by reducing operating expenses. The product is mature, user growth is not driven by sales staff, and advertisers are tightening their respective belts.

I'm not sure what the percent breakdown of terminated employees is by business area (looked for it and couldn't find it), but if you have staff dedicated to keeping Twitter clean and inoffensive in order to keep advertisers happy, but those same advertisers are already shying away and forecasts suggest they will continue to do so, then cutting staff in those areas is not entirely bonkers.
We shouldn’t think of it as a bait-and-switch if nothing was promised. The license applies to the current version. It doesn’t represent a commitment for future versions, and shouldn’t be taken as such.
