For me it was the constant nagging to pay for it.

That alone wouldn't have been so bad, but even after I paid for their silver tier (or whatever it was called) they then started to nag me to upgrade to the gold one.

No respect for their paying customers.
Is it E2EE? That seems to be the default these days.
Same with fire depts, police, medicare, sewage, roads?
About time!

The era of inflated salaries in tech jobs and unjustified promotion is coming to an end

This led to a drastic downgrade everywhere in the west, wich helped foreign actors emerge, not grow, but occupy a voided place

Bloat-driven engineers, promoted to do more bloat

And executives and managers never held responsible for their poor performance

This reminds me of how dotnet "engineers" wanted to solve the "single-file" deployment issue for C# applications

Many advocated for static compilation, like Go, but "management" said they were trolls and instead went with "Zip/Unzip the runtime, at runtime".. wich, you probably guessed, was killed few years later

Is that what you expect from a trillion dollar company?

Twitter/Vine <-> TikTok

dotnet <-> Go

That's what i mean by: "This led to a drastic downgrade everywhere in the west, wich helped foreign actors emerge, not grow, but occupy a voided place"

Thankfully, a few dedicated engineers at Microsoft pushed for NativeAOT, and they delivered, better, approved by their rival: https://twitter.com/plantpowerjames/status/15927984862607564...

Speaking of Twitter, i think it'll never manage to compete with YouTube/TikTok, but it'll for sure be a great testbed for propaganda or experiment with the digital ID and digital payment with digital currencies

Exciting times
I wonder if this means WSL2 will be installed by default at some point in the future. I believe this is the only manual step remaining when installing Docker Desktop.
This mentality is less prevela t in Europe so that might be a factor to keep in mind.
It’s partially due to NASA having to pay for insurance as well
Offtopic: I'm seeing a trend of titles that, as a non native English speaker, always confuse me and take me a good couple of seconds to finally understand. This is one of them. It's like they use a comma where I would expect an "and" to be. I wish I had more examples to show, but I have seen a lot here in HN. Is this some new editorial style or was this always used?
This is a good release, IMO. It finally brings WSLg to Windows 10, KB5020030 required.
That is how mainframes and micro-computers have been doing since forever.

I guess it is time for another great idea for VCs, I know, let's create a WASM runtime for RISC-V.
He was right tho. There should have been a recession way before the Lehman and subsequent housing bust. History is repeating itself again with the Covid downturn. The fact that the FED/government came to the "rescue" and pushed the recession into the future is irrelevant. The reasons he was positing recessions were sound and they eventually all came to fruition.

I know being early and/or late is considered being wrong. The fact remains he is calling it like he sees it. A reversion to the mean during a mania is a ballsy thing to predict. If the fundamentals are fucked, it will eventually correct.
the "crypto recovery fund" is not a govt bailout, it's binance investing private money into firms that are struggling to survive in the short-term: https://news.yahoo.com/cryptocurrencies-rally-binance-ceo-an...
Fundamentally it's the fault of the politicians who passed the law and the people who voted for them.

If you don't want to be arrested for breaking a stupid law, vote for someone who will repeal it.

Sure the police could in theory neglect to do their job which is enforcing the law but then they'd probably just get fired and replaced by police who did do their job.
Long, long time go, I remember seeing a documentary on Michael Jackson and how he either completely removed ( or severely restricted ; I can't remember ) TV access for his children. As a child back then, I thought that was crazy. Looking back, that crazy bastard was onto something. TV fed us a lot of garbage. Social media is worse, because it gets us better and better garbage.

It is almost like we keep getting an algorithmically improved media equivalent of a big mac each time we bring it up.

You are, naturally, right about that there is no distinction between TikTok, FB and others. It is all crap. Ideally, it would all just disappear.

Now, that is the hard part.

If so, electric chargers are the way to go :) I got to touch plenty of IoT-type firmware at my previous employer. Current one doesn't deal with firmware but we're pretty specialized, business-wise. I'm sure that a similar industry is opening up in America
Not sure why anyone would need a "personal database."
Yes, but pure means different things in different contexts. For language designers, purity is about the language itself, not what you're doing in it. E.g. Haskell is still a pure language even when you're reading and writing files. I don't think it's as useful a definition than the lay definition of purity.
> Nobody wants to be the one parent out of a thousand who has their kid scooped up off the street

I agreed with you ... because I misread your comment as being concerned that the cops would come pick up your kid (like happened here in TFA). My (semi-legitimate) fear is that I'll be harassed as a parent for letting my kids do normal things like walk around the neighborhood. That'd be the only reason I might not encourage it.

Your kid is much more likely to be picked up by the cops over handwringing like this than to be kidnapped.
"Economist"? at the very least say what economist it is, why should anyone care if a random economist says anything about anyone, half of them agreeing on anything is probably unheard of in the first place!

Now I am being facetious of course, but hopefully the point was made regarding the title. Most that would be drawn in would be people looking to wage their side on the crypto war using the comments as a battleground, completely ignoring the article.
100% this!

When i started learning Embedded Systems (lots of C/C++ Programming experience but without an Electronics background) it was understanding the needed Electronics and how to interface/debug the Hardware-Software interface where i had the most difficulty.

I found the following helpful in my education and hopefully people with a Software-only background who want to get into Embedded Systems will also find these useful;

* Designing Embedded Hardware by John Catsoulis - Very good introduction to relevant practical Electronics without drowning you in nitty-gritty details.

* Patterns for Time-Triggered Embedded Systems by Michael Pont (free pdf available at his company SafeTTy website) - Full of C code showing how to interface to hardware and do stuff.

* Practical Electronics for Inventors by Paul Scherz, Simon Monk - Reference for when you need more Electronics knowledge.

* Understanding Signals with the PropScope from the company Parallax (search for free pdfs online) - Practical lab book showing how to use PropScope(a USB based Oscilloscope) to study Signals on circuits built using the Parallax BASIC Stamp MCU board. You can use any other MCU/Oscilloscope combination (eg. Arduino with Analog Discovery 2 aka AD2) to build the same circuits and do the lessons. Digilent also has a lot of lessons on using the AD2 at its website.

* Introduction to Embedded Systems: Using Microcontrollers and the MSP430 by Manuel Jimenez et al. - Excellent and nicely illustrated textbook to learn Embedded Systems from. The MSP430 MCU is used as a case study but everything is presented in a general way.
Okay that's coming across as a pretty snide remark aimed at me, I'll bite.

Yes, I can understand why you comment that. I don't like blind slagging of free software either.

But there are ALSO those whose day job it is, and has been for the last 2 years, to use a badly designed overcomplex horrorshow of a tool that could be replaced easily by something better ... if it wasn't for the lock-in effects and strong marketing.

So I'm ventilating my frustration and at the same time expressing my gratitude to the person who made something fresh, that shows us things can be better.

I can't build the replacement to MLFlow myself, but I can cheer people on who do, and let them know their efforts are sorely needed.
Horrifying. I would like to see this brought to Governor Abbot's attention.
This strikes me as crazy. Every interaction with any human or inanimate object bears the risk of death, it's just so low it's not worth thinking about it.

U.S. police kill about ~1000 people per year, and the vast majority of those aren't at all questionable. If there are 330,000,000 people in the U.S., that's 0.000303% of the population per year. Each person has, on average, maybe 10 contentious police interactions in a lifetime of 75 years? That's 0.134 interactions per year.

So, given on this Fermi estimate, you have about a 0.00226% chance of being killed per contentious police interaction if we spread it completely evenly, or 2.26 in 100,000. And spreading it evenly doesn't make any sense at all.

So, if you're young, black, male, and running around Chicago dealing drugs carrying an illegal gun--yeah, maybe worry about it. For everyone here on HN, it's a stupid thing to worry about. Worry about your sedentary lifestyle. Worry about driving safely if you drive a lot. Worry about diabetes. Worry about whether your relationships with friends and family are good. Worry about your diet. Worry about exercise. Worry about falling down the stairs. The cops aren't going to kill you.

Ugh, please kill me for answering this question because I don't want to join the "everything is awesome" crowd. But from a technical perspective, you are describing two very different functions that are currently provided by "centralized exchanges", but don't need to be:

1. Interfacing with the traditional (fiat) banking system: today this can be done with regulated fiat-backed stablecoins like Paxos USD, Gemini USD or Circle's USDC. It's critical that these institutions be carefully regulated by government entities to ensure the deposits are protected, but this is feasible (Paxos and Gemini are regulated by NYDFS, Circle's regulation story is more complex but there is one.) This regulation is crucial to ensure that "the assets are in the bank", but you only need a few such issuers to be regulated. This is much more scalable than trusting every two-bit crypto exchange in the world.

2. Custody of signing keys: this can also be technically managed by centralized institutions. Anchorage Digital and Fireblocks are examples of this. These centralized solutions can't ever perfectly eliminate risk (they are centralized, after all), but they can make you much resistant to rubber hose attacks. The actual technology is based on hardware security modules and MPC, plus lots of excellent security engineering.

In theory once you have reliable building blocks for these two components, the rest can be achieved using smart contracts without the need for further centralization or trust risk. (You will, of course, risk bugs in the smart contract. But this is a technical problem that we can potentially solve using technical means, not a fundamental problem of human trust.) In general the idea here is to optimize your "trusted human base" so that it is as small as possible (and have those parts carefully regulated), and then you can covert the rest into problems that have purely technical solutions.

Obviously this story only works if you're doing fiat-crypto conversion and storage of assets. The minute you start lending assets to people then you're back to trusting human beings to actually pay you back, so you'd better make good judgements about their (possibly illiquid) collateral.
I've been hoping for a JetBrains stand-alone git client for years, similar to Sublime Merge. [0] I'm sure there's quite a few people out there that would pay $10 to use their git client with another editor.

Yep! As I said, many improvements and I'm thankful for them making them. Now if we can only get sendmail, openssl, apache modrewrite, jq, openldap, modemmanager, and pulseaudio on board we'd be good.
The lack of export functionality without a Mac kept me from using it.

That sure is a lot of trouble just to grab a copy of my notes. This is something I do often enough that I don't want to have to go through two MFA prompts, and then another when the process is done. Not acceptable.
There could have been multiple calls.
In fact this is literally the only path to becoming a pop economist. You collect your prestigious degree and then realize it's a lot easier to sit on cable news and throw out crazy sound bites or write NYT articles about how the internet will never work and we need a bigger housing bubble than to do research.

> A blunt response like, "Fuck off. Don't talk to my son.", followed by walking away from her, may have been harsher and not particularly polite, but perhaps it'd cause a person like her to avoid such meddling in the future.

Or it means she's definitely calling CPS next time.
It's open source and the readme offers (very basic) instructions on how to do this.
This is a serious worry of mine. I often let my elementary kids walk home from school by themselves because we live close enough and they have good sense around what little traffic there is. But I always worry that someone will throw a fit about it. I worry about that a LOT more than kidnappers.
Last I checked, no one has proven this.
Or OS authors are going to have to rethink how they handle illegal instruction exceptions, by patching the calling program to call into an emulated version when running on hardware that lacks support; this would allow program authors to choose whether to favor the least common denominator (and give up performance on more capable processors) or to target best possible performance (but take a hit on more limited machines). An ABI that reserves a few registers for this sort of emulation, or a couple or reserved architectural registers, could help a lot.

This time, please, can we not bail out the bankers?
I migrated to Apple Notes once I got an Apple Pencil and noticed simply touching it to the screen while off would instantly let me start taking a note like it was a piece of paper. There was no way to get that level of integration with Evernote, so I switched immediately.

Well your second example relies for speed and efficiency on Haskell being lazy. If you did e.g. a map -> filter -> sum chain, the performance is not that great without lazy evaluation guaranteed by Haskell's implementation, which can complicate code in other scenarios or in the complexity of the compiler. OCaml is also an FP language, and the second example would be almost the same text, but with much worse performance.

Also, Python is an OOP language, but a simple map implementation there is not much more verbose:

def map(function, items):
if len(items) != 0:
return [function(items[0]), *map(function, items[1:])]
return []
As a senior PM and multiple time founder, I don't think this is the right way to look at the situation. PMs should be incentivized towards driving user value not features. It's tough once an organization gets large enough for everyone on the team to be aligned to the same vision and what user value means; this is where a PM can be a positive multiplier effect. The situation you are describing seems to me more like a junior PM issue or a broader misunderstanding by that organization of how to use and incentivize PMs effectively.

It sounds like you're exclusively looking at 'webdev' jobs, where, yeah, approximately nobody uses C.

Try embedded. Never had a directly embedded programming job myself, but see a lot of it from recruiters 'C/C++' as you say, but in embedded my adjacent experience is that there's not a lot of C++, that's more likely to be the tooling than the firmware or whatever itself. (Binary size & stdlib issues I believe, or perhaps merely dogmatic assertion that that's the case.) Not to say it can't be & is never used of course, it can be and is.
Well, without capitalism everyone would live in subsistence-level poverty, but it would be a social norm, so no charity would be necessary.
The article mentions this workflow:

"Let’s now execute the script multiple times, one per set of parameters, and store the results in the experiments.db SQLite database... After finishing executing the experiments, we can initialize our database (experiments.db) and explore the results."

Be warned that issuing queries while DML is in process can result in SQLITE_BUSY, and the default behavior is to abort the transaction, resulting in lost data.

Setting WAL mode for greater concurrency between a writer and reader(s) can lead to corruption if the IPC structures are not visible:

"To accelerate searching the WAL, SQLite creates a WAL index in shared memory. This improves the performance of read transactions, but the use of shared memory requires that all readers must be on the same machine [and OS instance]."

If the database will not be entirely left alone during DML, then the busy handler must be addressed.
Dropbox does the same shit. they are totally shameless.
> I believe the world is round

This isn't an opinion or a belief, it's a verifiable fact. We know the world is round because: if you travel east you'll eventually arrive at your starting destination; if you stand on a ship's crow's nest you can see further than the crew on the deck because of the curvature of the earth; if you fly a plane and make two 90 degree turns and travel an equal distance, you will end up at your starting point due to the curvature of the earth; if you go to space in a space station, you can visually verify that the earth is round.

Cargo culting acolytes will believe the earth is round with no explanation as to why. Just because you believe the right thing doesn't mean you're not cargo culting. If you can't explain why you believe what you believe, you're simply believing to follow a particular crowd, regardless of the validity of the belief.
I meant the pithy quote was exchanged, not a long copy pasta. Seems its a popular concept to Google.
The owners should certainly care about being profitable, but increasing profit shouldn’t be the primary criterion for career advancement and product design. In a small company, the hierarchy is also flat enough that there isn’t much space for the people in charge for advancement/prestige/status within the company, in particular not for the owners themselves. In the end, this is also about hiring people with the right attitudes, which again falls to the owners.
> but anyone speculating in stocks or housing should be backstopped... Why?

Crypto is cauterised. There were inklings of institutionalisation, but the Fed raised rates before that took hold. This means the people and wealth in crypto can vanish without compromising much else, a statement I cannot make about most industries or assets.

I would also venture that most people suggesting we not backstop crypto were also opposed to bailing out banks. But unlike with banks or housing, there is no broader interest in crypto.
I think some of their 'issues' could be resolved by learning things like git reflog (e.g. the 'undo' command request)
Judges, DAs and by extension any public arm including police should remember that doctrine coming from Roman law "It is more important that innocence should be protected, than it is, that guilt be punished" (John Adams, 1770) or likewise "the law holds that it is better that 10 guilty persons escape, than that 1 innocent suffer" (William Blackstone, 1769) or "it is better to let the crime of a guilty person go unpunished than to condemn the innocent" (SCOTUS, 1895).

Had the cops called on me for wearing a hood and walking home at 7:30PM from my friends house, gun put in my face and told to get on the ground. I was 10.

You're 100% right, and that bad feeling you have is a sign that you understand where both sides are coming from. This is why so many people say "not your keys, not your coin". Giving up control of your keys is never the best option, but if that's what you choose to do, audits might help you make the least bad choice out of those available.
When you write a list of items, such as, "one, two, three and four", you use commas instead of "and" or "or" between each of them except the last so people know whether the rest are "and" or "or". In this case, "or" doesn't make sense so the comma means "and".
This is kind of funny. At what age does that stop being a possibility? At least in my country kids are kids until 18... so it would just as illegal let a 17-year old walk alone? He _could_ be kidnapped. Nobody can say it's impossible, however improbable!

Part of the problem is that she pled guilty, thereby endorsing the position of the police and creating a larger problem in the future.
