Tbh it was like a year ago and I forget the specifics. You are welcome to look at the code, however:

https://github.com/nu11ptr/flexstr/blob/master/flexstr/src/b...

UPDATE: As I'm thinking about it, it is starting to come back to me a little:

1. I create the buffer

2. I do some op against it to fill it

3. I consume it and transform it into a final immutable flexstr

For #1, the 'new' function moves the buffer back to the caller (memcpy). Using it in #2 I think was fine as I think it is typically passed by mutable ref. For #3, the buffer was moved again (passed by `self`) so it could be consumed and reused without a language level copy (but was copying in the generated code). Replacing #1 and #3 with macros kept the stack buffer in the local stack frame and greatly sped up my code in benchmarks, and that is what those two macros do I linked to if I'm recalling correctly.
Even if he gets convicted of anything non-trivial, how does he actually stay in jail for very long? Call me cynical or a conspiracy theorist or whatever, but a guy who's rubbed shoulders with the "elite" and who probably has at least a billion dollars in crypto stashed away can probably figure out who to bribe to walk out the jail's back door and take a private flight to a country who won't send him back.

One of my hobbies is printing "three-sided cards" that frequently have anime characters as subjects, these have a description of of the image in English at the bottom left but I pull out proper names in Japanese and set them vertically on the upper right. Here is one example

which is part of this group of cards:

https://gen5.info/$/Q.AEW.3FW2XIZUINQ/

I had to write my own layout engine for vertical CJK text which to first order is not very hard because the characters are all squares and I don't need to deal with punctuation, Ruby, and all that. What is still a hassle is mixing Roman characters in and having them look good, as these frequently turn up in proper names. For instance the second season of the popular anime Sailor Moon (セーラームーン) is called Sailor Moon R (セーラームーンR).

Interesting username choice if true…
I don't really agree, prosecuting all wage theft would be an enormous effort, but this story is not about prosecuting all book "theft", just one case. The argument is that the resources spent on this one case would have been better spent on investigating and prosecuting wage theft, not solving the entire issue.

Also, wage theft seems to be a much simpler thing to prosecute. You don't have to investigate the owners of anonymous websites or track down any foreign nationals, just show up to a job site, see how long people are working, see how much they're paid, and prosecute if the numbers don't match. Obviously I'm exaggerating, but it's a much more tangible, sort of "old-fashioned" crime, one I would imagine the FBI is pretty good at solving.
As a one-off donation? Probably not.

As a business? For sure. Not for every aspect of Chinese law, but for relevant ones and with enforcement in China or through mutual agreements with other governments.

This kind of comment is disappointing.

It shows a major lack of understanding of how law and businesses work, coated in a huge layer of outrage, all wrapped up in a Twitter-length type comment.
A short history of copy protection schemes
I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m not really sure that anything Elon says is really honest. I suppose I think he honestly has disdain for the former Twitter staff and honestly wants people to work 90 hour weeks but almost everything else is fair game for interpretation. All of his product ideas for Twitter I take with a heaping teaspoon of salt, and I’m not sure if that’s because he’s being dishonest or things are just too in motion.

Which does interestingly I think bring up the larger point of trying to be a nice leader in a complex world. This author talks about passive aggressive leadership and withholding tips from servers (which is unquestionably wrong) but I think a lot of leaders really are torn between wanting to treat people with respect, the realities of business, and human fallibility. (FWIW I think this is a huge problem in politics, sure many politicians don’t act in good faith but the ones that do have an impossible task)

Which is why there is so many conspiracy theories out there, it’s basically impossible for a leader to be successful and also come across as consistent and fallible, just being in a position like this makes you larger than life.

They intentionally don't fix their "broken" deployment environment so someone else has to do anything CI/CD related. It's infuriating because their attitude reads as anything is beneath them, and they have no respect for others' time.
In any case, 800k is a ridiculous amount for such a huge company like Discord.
I am convinced by Judea Pearl (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Why) that the missing part of current AI is causality reasoning. It is impossible to inference causality from raw data - that is data without any a priori causality models. To develop causality ideas you need to make experiments. After you have some initial causal theories you can develop them further by adding observations - but you cannot bootstrap them entirely just from observations. Making experiments would also be much more efficient then just observing them - because you could test the exact stuff that is needed for your theories to develop. So yeah - action on the real world is required.

By the way I have an intuition that free will is based on this - we need an irreducible source of cause to learn about causality and we call that the free will.
I think it's crazy that we limit programming languages to using ASCII in 2022. Yes, I understand the chicken-and-egg issues of input, but it still seems like we're limiting ourselves as developers if we don't make use of a richer symbology. I know Raku supports some Unicode operators and Guy Steele's Fortress language also supported non-ASCII symbols so it is possible. But I'm not holding my breath. This is just one old man's crazy opinion.

Thank god they invented a unique gun that can only fire sponge-tipped bullets at the occupied population.

No way ever ever ever that this could be used in a slightly different, more deadly manner.

Maybe they can even add sensors that shout "ow" when hit with rocks by children so they can document the reason for a use of force.
"only"

Israel has killed babies with tear gas and maimed children with sponge-tipped bullets before. This will continue as there wont be any consequences at all for the sadists operating these guns. Previously they could at least be caught on film and the outcry would force some kind of investigation. Now there is not even that and no one will be held responsible for maiming children. This is precisely why the Israeli academy should be boycotted. Because it helps the Israeli regime develop these kind of extremely disturbing weapons.

Irrelevant to my argument. Read "society" as "those preparing to continue to pay tax" if you wish.

The point being that organized societies consists of contracts, and I'm all for making that more so in the sense of letting those who feel coerced into them opt out. But the natural extension of that is that if you choose to owe a government nothing, then it and those who choose to remain part of what it govern has no duty to let you take part of its benefits either, as forcing them to do so would be just as much theft as taxation.

You don't get to expect to be able to choose one or the other.

I can explain the Mac bits.

The command key (⌘) is the primary key and is used to implement system-wide (via convention) shortcuts: e.g. copy, paste, find, minimize window, etc.

The option key (⌥) is used for symbols and composing diacritics.

The ctrl (^) key is a tertiary key, used for a small amount of keyboard navigation.

The fn (globe) key is largely unavailable for use in shortcuts.

There is no apple key, it got replaced by the command key.

Since the command key does a lot of work, you end up with a lot of chording.

> I do know that the writers and publishers have costs and they need to make money, but I don't agree with the fact that we have to pay to have knowledge. It's more like if we don't have money, we can't have knowledge.

For all human history, access to knowledge requires wealth. Simple example — If I want to know how to fix a particular old refrigerator I bought second hand, I need to buy the manual.

That said, I enjoy the story of Jesus feeding hundreds of people with a few fish and a couple loaves of bread. I point out the story is also a parable. Jesus is somehow duplicating the fish and bread to feed the crowd. Isn’t this similar to knowledge? Should we not spread knowledge in a similar way if it’s of no cost to us? If you say “no, the author needs to be paid!” Then I ask, “is not the fisherman and baker missing out on profit from the sale of fish and bread?”

It always brings an interesting discussion around this topic. Fundamentally, I agree knowledge should be free. I post my blogs for free for this very reason. If I need to make money, I do work, sell products; etc.

>they require native minted tokens of speculative value to operate.

Well, so does the rest of industry and civilization (fiat money). What's the distinction there?
Since USDC is centralized, in theory it's possible if something happens to Sol for all USDC tokens issued on that network to be transferred to another carrier chain. Like how you can exchange old banknotes for new ones. So the owner of USDC/Sol presents proof of ownership to Circle, and they issue new USDC/X coins while voiding the old ones.

Does anyone know if this was discussed or anything similar happened in the past?
I am skeptical that all of those people on Twitter are actually autistic and not just self-diagnosed.

Despite having a clinical definition and a defined diagnostic process, autism has become sort of an identity that people celebrate and use in a casual, colloquial way.

People have told me that I could have been diagnosed as autistic because of how I act as an adult, but I didn't have developmental delays. I had a pretty normal early childhood. So I don't identify as that.

So perhaps it's better for parents to leave the term "autism" for people who wish to self-identify that way, and using a different term to describe the thing that happens to their children. Too often they end up clashing over this word, and I don't think it's healthy or constructive for either side.

So maybe the authors of the paper were right, but not in the way they wanted to be.

Show HN: I built a goal-oriented task manager
Hello HN!

I've been working on a task manager (https://plocs.com) that combines a todo list with project management.

Unlike most task managers, Plocs supports task dependencies and makes working with them easy.

Thanks to dependencies Plocs is better in two important ways:

1.) You can plan in a goal-oriented way. Start with your goal and then plan the steps you need to get there.
2.) You can tell very easily which tasks you can work on: the ones that don't depend on other tasks are shown in a list to the left of the screen.

Would love to get your feedback!

PS: If you click on "Start demo" you can try it in the browser without registering.

Thanks,

> Move semantics is actually a quite modern thing in C++ (and not default like in Rust).

But it's very different. In Rust there are no move-constructors. A move is simply a memcpy. And the moved-from object doesn't have to be in "a valid, but unspecified state". You cannot use it, because the borrow checker prevents you from doing so. So it can actually be in any state, giving the compiler more room for optimization.

>Keybase did it by not truly doing it,

And got effectively assassinated for it.
But Windows misrepresents that the application is not running, when it is running in the background with access to the mic. Is this not a poor default? The justification here is that Discord behaves differently from "the vast majority of applications". First, I'm not sure if that's true. Second, another justification brought up is that Discord doesn't show the user that their mic is still hot, Windows seems just as culpable for not "protecting by default".

For example, on my Android phone, whenever the mic/camera is in use, even if the app is in the background, the OS displays a green dot in the corner of the screen and when I poke it, it tells me what is using the mic/camera. This is a good default.

I don't think Windows is culpable instead of Discord, but I do think that more protection should be built into Windows, and based on this decision, Windows could get dinged for this as much as Discord.
It does technically sound like there is a gap in the emulation, yes. Though, since interrupts are normally transparent to user space software, you'd have to use something like ptrace or be messing with the signal delivery mechanism to even have a chance at noticing the gap. And you'd have to do quite obscure and absurd things even by those APIs' standards.
Convincing people to work for less (or no) compensation, and/or under crummier conditions - because it is for something which they believe in - is arguably older than money.

And there are plenty of perfectly sane & reasonable people who don't find a "good pay for cushy work" job to be very fulfilling, longer-term.

As usual, the devil's in the details.
A lot of the typical and expected takes for these sort of discussions:

- on one side, people who are in favour of the arrests , because they see their a activities as crimes. They have point

- on the other side people that one way or another, believe that the distribution of the information should be free in some sense. Justifications always abound. A d it's Ok

I offer a third take: Theres no reason why authors should be perpetually paid for the work of 500/1000 hours, or whatever time it took them to write the books; research time included. Publishing a book should give authors, editors and related parties the compensation for their worked time at a fair hourly wage. The same way you a I are compensated hourly.

After that, the only cost of books should be distribution costs, which nowadays are near to 0 with p2p and similar.

The fact that the work output of some people is intended to be overpaid indefinitely, while the output of the rest of us is only paid hourly, is what's unfair.

I was a Linux Mint user for a long time, and I can't recommend that distro either because of all the bugs.

I believe that being busy is a myth. It's one that we all fall prey to and end up accomplishing nothing because of it.

Like any system, you need enough slack. That slack makes you resilient over the long term. It gives you what you value in life. Autonomy, relatedness, and competence to whatever you set your goals towards.

I hate the mentality of "if it's not in a calendar, it's not happening" because this is the opposite of slack. There's a beauty in serendipity when it comes to not being busy. It opens more doors than closes them in my experience.

I would argue that the optimal level is negative in that you're not "busy" by the definition, but you are tackling your top goal until it is accomplished and then to the next one. You won't even make a dent in it if you're constantly distracted by small immediate things. You have to learn to set boundaries and say no. It's the only way things actually get done.
If you're pirating Stephen King or a 300$ textbook from a guy who has tenure at Harvard I doubt anyone probably including the author cares but a fair amount of authors aren't making any more than you make.

Friend of mine published her own graphic novel basically living in her parents attic and a day after it was out someone had ripped it and thrown it on a comic piracy site. That's not ethical.

If you live on a 12-15/hour salary which I have too you still can afford the occassional book here and there, you can't tell me you spend zero on recreational stuff. I don't care if anyone fleeces Marvel studios but if people start pirating independent works from people no better off, often worse, that's iffy.

> Onshore engineers flying home to India due to a stomach ache, instead of seeing a doctor for free in the host country due to being afraid.

This feels like an exaggeration to me, although I'm open to hearing specifics to the contrary. I know of (non resident) immigrants who delay medical visits and treatments until they get back to their home country, but flying home (spending a good deal of money on air fare) for just a stomach ache sounds pound foolish, which immigrants generally aren't.
