You say no but then you list exceptions. Compatible integer types is easy. And can't you also have any pointers you want into a char array as long as they are aligned correctly? Also it should work to have a struct with a size_t followed by elements of a different type, shouldn't it?
Yes, AppSumo does take a 30% cut. We'd like to tap into its large customer base, so we decided to run on AppSumo only.
What impacted Smalltalk, was its biggest backer (IBM), deciding to pivot into Java, porting their flagship IDE (Visual Age) into Eclipse, dropping OS/2 (where Smalltalk had a role similar to VB/Delphi and later .NET), and dropping Smalltalk consulting altoghether.
Meta Quest Pro Review
Crypto seems very reminiscent. Some, both grifters and otherwise, made out like bandits while most of the hoi polloi took it in the teeth.
I agree with one of your points (that where Figma really succeeded is that it understood better than anyone else the collaborative nature of web design), but I disagree that flat design vs. skeuomorphic makes much of a difference. I've seen more "realistic" designs where the actual iconography/images are created in something like Photoshop and then just imported to Figma, and Figma handles it fine.

Point being that I think that even if all apps still had the design aesthetic of 2008 iPhone apps that Figma still would have succeeded.

I love the vitamin vs painkiller discussion. The basic premise is: don’t build a vitamin, build a painkiller because it’s solves a real problem and people will be willing to pay for it.

First of all the analogy fails in the real world. The vitamin market is huge. People pay lots of money to buy vitamins.

Second, the transition is not clear. It’s hard to draw a line line and say now this vitamin turned into a painkiller.

Third, I believe almost no product is a real painkiller. We in the West at least live in sheer abundance. Almost none of our problems is really painful. For example: was Facebook a painkiller? Hardly. Was the iPhone a painkiller? Not until you considered using it.

I’m not saying the analogy is useless. But I don’t think that vitamins can’t be super successful.
Article is about health and property insurance, but Tesla has a feedback loop that game-ifies safe driving: use PCA to identify which behaviors actually correlate to accident probability > give each driver a real-time safety score > use that safety score to determine their Tesla Insurance rate > driver is financially motivated to driver more safely.

Tesla Insurance saves drivers a ton of money, they rarely have to pay out because drivers become safer, and drivers make the roads safer by acting in their own financial interest.

Empowering people good with math is not much different than empowering people good with religious screed. They’re still fallible meat bags.

Yeah, this.

A man used to be undressed without a knife in his belt. Literally you did not leave home without a sharp bit of metal in case you had to stick it into another human being, typically because they were trying to do the same to you.

Remember Romeo and Juliet? The Mont. and the Cap. boys were not lower class yobs. Fighting in the street with freaking swords was their golf.

One of the unspoken fears that we men have is the knowledge that the women and children don't really need us. They like us and love us but they don't need us. Not in a civilized "Star Trek" world, which is the sane result that we are all striving for (right? right?).

With modern technology they don't even need us to reproduce.

In the extreme (usually only talked about in Sci-Fi and hyper-feminist manifestos) men are a luxury or a fetish.

(In case it's not clear, I'm putting this out there for the sake of stimulating discussion. I'm not a man-hater on anything like that. Heck I am a man, and I like being one. However, the point above still stands: once you break down traditional marriage in a technological society, men are not necessary.)
So sounds like you could literally just eat shit and it would be effectively the same
The structures that emerge from a series of transformations applied to an initial field (be it the natural numbers or the complex set), could be due to the transformations, or intrinsic of the underlying field. The parent comment stated that we're in the former case, i.e. we are seeing artifacts due to the transformation itself and we're not in front of some new properties of the numbers. It implied that this is a bad thing, or at least that's how I read that 'merely'. My (admittedly cryptic) reply was meant to show that similar results are worth attention as well, just like the Mandelbrot set, and should not be quickly dismissed as an unwanted effect.

> Also stating that there exists something like "illusory superiority" does not mean there does not exist "superiority". Yeah, I also studied theoretical math.

This makes zero sense and shows you lack understandings of the issue being brought up.

Obviously like anything else, driving fits on the bell curve and there are really bad drivers and some exceptional ones.

But the point of the effect is that when asked, most(>80%) THINK they are above average. If they were actually tested they would be shown this is mathematically impossible and they would not rank where they think they do.

You may very well be that superstar dev because as stated, when there is an average there exists the possibility that some are below and above the average.

This is very telling.. you come across as condescending to others but are unable to rank yourself vs others with your level of experience?
I didn't say it would solve The Problem, at least not immediately.

But if you say "Any given winner must have 40% of the total vote" and NotA is included in that universe, then there is an incentive of Party X and Party Y to field viable products. Then there is an incentive for - what's currently written off as - "disinterested voters" (i.e., not, it's crap product being sold) to have a say.

We are told, voting is a means for We The People to express ourselves and influence our representatives. Suppressing the NoaA vote is just that, voter suppression.

The bottom line: NotA is a simple means to a better ends. Without much effort, it addresses a handful of the flaws in the current system.

True story: I live in NJ, just outside the Phila, PA market. We saw *all* the Fetterman v Oz ads (for PA's Senate seat). If I called it a cluster f*k I'd be giving cluster and f*k a bad name. There is simply no way voting for either one of them way sending a message to anyone. If nothing else, it gave both major parties a free pass. It made thousands of voters complicit in the X + Y cartel.

With no data to back me up, I'm going to guess medications play a large part. Most people I know well enough to talk about the subject, and every potential partner I have dated in the last 20 years, are on prescription anti-depressants.
What about those of us trapped somewhere with no friends or family in the local area? Serfs had their spouses, children, and parents to socialize with, even when cut off mostly from the rest of society.

Some percentage of us experienced an alone-ness that really has no historical precedent. For some, it persisted many months.
I mostly practice mindfulness meditation where the mind is quieted and one observes the random thoughts that drift by. But lately I've tried shifting more often, where an intention is set like "how can I (xyz)?" or "please help (so and so)" etc and then I observe any insights and my outer reality seems to come into focus around the new path.

Also letting go of expectation and attachment has really helped. I've come to think of life as kind of a giant video game that angels enter to pass the time. Notions like truth and lies and good and evil have blurred into ways of being or vibes like peace and love and forgiveness. My rational mind is still effective, but now has subjective meaning to support it in a quest aiming more for wisdom than power. Taoism and Buddhism and zen resonate with me, which all started when I read 101 Zen Stories:

Right, the current system is 40% government via bureaucracy, 50% government via lobbyists/industry (including the parts of the bureaucracy that have been fully captured by industry), and 10% "the kind of freaks who run for and win public office" (who I think we should treat with reflexive suspicion on principle, even when I nominally agree with them). It's not at all clear to me that bureaucrats + lottery system would be worse, and it seems likely it'd be better.
Seriously doubt any firmware was involved as these aircraft would be manually operated, but I could be wrong. Mechanical malfunction or pilot error would more likely be the cause. Sorry for the loss of life in any case.

> It's also important that you eat stuff that makes you feel full, fibers and greens. Changing diet also changed my taste, so I crave more healthy things now, while the food I used to eat honestly don't appeal to me any longer or tastes empty.

Having tried this, by basically eating a lot of carrots, its uh, not the same as being full/satiated. Feeling like your stomach is full is just a completely different feeling from feeling like you ate a satiating meal.

Women having equal or higher status doesn't require them to take masculine roles. Feminity is neither submissive nor inferior.

I am aware of status of women in my own country India before invaders came.I won't go into the ancient history. But women like Ahilyabai Holkar, Laxmibai existed not too long ago.Both of them rose to the occassion. But my point stands that women generally do not enjoy these types of roles. Love, affection, child rearing, and home making comes more naturally to them then going out and picking fights.
You're restating what I said. Anyway, I agree, they're a bit like artists. One-paragraph poets, if you will.
I agree the syntax for strong_params is confusing and error prone, but I wish the author had drawn more of a distinction between the schema of the request payload versus the schema of the model. Rails assumes the model should handle its own type validations, and strong_params is sort of a bandaid to ensure the params object can’t affect internal implementation details. dry_schema looks way more powerful but it makes it easier for one to forget that the primary goal is not a generalized schema, but a security boundary for ensuring dangerous attributes aren’t set on the model.

I think the pattern is helpful but it’s still pretty easy to mess up.
Did you ever have free testosterone or SHBG levels checked?

It's possible to have high total T but low levels of free T, which is the bioavailable stuff.
> Literally just listen to SBF himself. He described his business as a ponzi scheme

1. you should actually listen to the podcast, or at least skim the transcript[1], rather than trusting some second hand account by some youtuber. In the podcast, he's describing an abstract token that offers no utility, not FTT and certainly not the exchange itself.

2. At least from skimming the whitepaper for FTT, there's at least a plausible business model (eg. through exchange fees). That's not to say it's not a ponzi scheme, because many ponzi schemes claim they have a plausible business model, but that's different than literally describing yourself as a ponzi scheme. That would require you to put out a whitepaper that's like "we fully expect this token/company to make zero money and all profits to earlier investors come from later investors".

The bank has deposits and capital from its shareholders.

The bank promises to pay the depositors interest, and the bank collects interest from the loans it makes.

If the bank made good loans, the difference between the interest it pays and the interest it collects increases the bank's capital, and at some point it may pay dividends to the shareholders.

If the bank made bad loans, and some of them are not repayed, the losses come out of the bank's capital.

If the capital goes below some regulatory threshold, a corrective action must be taken. The bank can raise more capital, or get acquired. If a corrective action is not taken, the FDIC takes over the bank, and either sells the bank, or closes it and distributes the remaining assets as follows:

First, to cover deposits up to the insured limit, which is $250K per account. Then to deposits above the insured limits, then to creditors according to seniority, and finally, if there's anything left, to shareholders.

In other words, shareholders takes the first hit, then creditors, then deposits above the insured limit, and finally deposits below the insured limit.

If the deposits below the insured limit take a hit, the FDIC covers that from its insurance fund.

This is of course a very simplified version.
I think willpower is a description of the human experience. I don't know if it's a good mechanistic description or not. It does not seem to be taken seriously as a cause by many psychologists.

Whatever you think of willpower, I think controlling the food environment (don't bring it home from the store, don't eat at restaurants with mainly junk food, etc) is the most effective intervention. After that, things like substitution, delay, smallest possible portion, and putting the tempting food in an inconvenient location may help.
Microsoft’s code editor killed everything in the market by using this client-server approach.

> I didn't buy an Android device, though. I bought an iPhone

So you bought a device using your own free will that didn’t meet your needs even though there was an alternative? That’s like someone buying a Tesla and complaining they can’t use gas to power their vehicle.

> Apple does not deserve the right to dictate what software people run on the devices they own. There is no degree of apologism that refutes this

A real judge disagrees with you…

> Their settlement involved the explicit forced sharing of APIs and internal technology (in Apple's case this would be software management).

And that has nothing to do with browser bundling or the App Store. If a single App Store is illegal, that also means all of the console makers and TV smart OS vendors are acting illegally.

Also, today in 2022, Microsoft Office is just as dominant as it was in 2000.

> prosecution was because they appealed and instead seeked

And the “settlement” has nothing to do with browser bundling and in fact, they did release another platform - the XBox where not only were they the only store, even when you buy a physical game, they get a cut.
> "Safety. Yes, Rust is more safe. I don’t really care. In light of all of these problems, I’ll take my segfaults and buffer overflows."

The problem is that when you write a program in C for the public, this program's buffer overflows and segfaults aren't a problem only for you, but also for everyone around you. Security vulnerabilities are a serious problem. You can think of them as a form of software pollution: "Safety. Yes. Asbestos is unsafe. I don't really care. In light of all the these problems with fiberglass, I'll take my lung cancer and expensive structure remediation".

See what I mean? We all have an interest in secure software, and the aesthetic preferences expressed in the article to which you've linked have to take a back seat to ecosystem robustness and information security.

Unfortunately, this pro-C cowboy attitude is entrenched in this industry. It's going to take a lot of retirements to move us forward.

I went to an American funded school in India. We had a pastor who took sermons and was pro-US in terms of Israel. Some library books were kids Christian literature. Mum stayed at a YWCA. Mentioned institutes had members of all religions.

Fun fact: Freddy Mercury studied in an American school in India.

I believe America and Russia were competing for soft power. Americans and Russians allegedly funded pro-democracy and pro-communism parties in India.

There was Raduga publishers which translated Russian literature into high quality English books. I remember fairy tales, city kid in a village, Lenin's mother who had children receive death penalty for revolution. Yes, it was way later than 1991.
I've noticed a lot of overweight people using food as a crutch to manage emotional discomfort or distress, even when they might not be all that hungry. So there is something else going on.
As evidence of a market for this, see the company Citrix. Also I think Facebook's content moderation website is only accessible from some sort of remote desktop system.
I thought a bit about more examples of command line tools which charge users in some ways:

- docker. There's a paid subscription based in the cloud
- terraform has a terraform cloud (and their other tools have commercial offerings)
- pulumi works in a similar way
Agree on ranked choice. But NotA should still be a choice in that approach. It's a signal. It's the voice of (some) people. NotA shouldn't be repressed any more than any other group of votes should be repressed.

They are not even close. In Python they are a control flow mechanism (ie StopIteration), in Rust they signal a program-terminating error.
I'm sorry, this is nonsense. Serfs worked fields in small groups in housheolds of 5-8 individuals[1] and communally feasted dozens of times per year not to mention attending religious services. Hunter gatherers spen(d)t hours a day just gossiping[2] and engaged in communal rituals[3].

We also know from studying prisoners that isolation breaks peoples' brains[4].

This seems totally reasonable to me, honestly. Guess what, companies building your product on top of high-quality FOSS software? Turnabout is fair play. If we're going to rot our software infrastructure to it's soul by adding endless SaaS subscriptions to everything, then why shouldn't FOSS developers get in on the fun? This is the software dystopia we've created, where marginal-utility products get built on the backbreaking work of unpaid contributors. If they don't like it, they can fork the AGPL version or use a different linker.

It's a very dog-eat-dog play, but realistically this is what our software industry has turned into. IMO, it's honorable to defend both your individual users and FOSS community while also charging your corporate users for the support they expect.

My primary feeling is that I think technical people drastically overestimate the pain that most "normal" people experience when it comes to browser performance.

I see it all the time on HN, e.g. people bitching about the amount of RAM Electron apps take and the like. Who cares? The average user certainly doesn't.

If anything, 98% of the time when I experience browser performance issues it's network-latency related, or the fact that some page is loading 300 ad-tracking scripts and one of them is accidentally blocking. The only time I really notice client-side execution performance is when someone posts a cool 3D browser example on HN and things slightly slow down a bit on my phone when there are a couple million polygons or whatever. Even then, things are fine on my laptop.
One big exception can be things like R&D or internal support (i.e. toolmakers and mentors) where the work doesn’t have the prospect of becoming cash flow positive in the near term. If your skills don’t transfer well to the core business, it might not matter how strong they are.

For example, Facebook has some great people working on VR. If they get spooked about profitability, someone with a neuroscience Ph.D probably isn’t going to pivot to ad sales.
