It’s unusual for white people. Every black and Hispanic person I know has stories about how they had to worry about violence while living their lives normally.

For example, a friend’s partner shared a story about the time he went to a big conference (maybe the VMware one?) in Atlanta. He was fairly senior at HP and no more threatening looking than any other middle-aged IT guy … and was the only pulled over on the way back to his hotel by a cop who was suspicious about a black man driving a nice rental car. His evening involved a very tense hour sitting on the side of the road while a southern cop straight out of a stereotype asked a ton of questions and “asked” to inspect the car while patting his gun.
It's not that "nothing is safe" but rather nothing is "inherently" safe.

I've crashed several times going roughly 12mph, with only a few scrapes and no broken bones- once because by brake line snapped, once because my tire got caught in a crack in the road I didn't see, and once because a car pulled in front of me.

Any one of those could have ended in a broken neck if I'd landed wrong. Going slower might have prevented one or two of those. Going faster wouldn't have caused worse injury in the third case given that I bounced off the car rather than going straight to the ground.

Nowadays, programmers are encouraged to write code with minimal comments — the exact opposite of Knuth's literate programming.
GNOME is great out of the box on Fedora. I think a big problem with Linux is users going off the beaten path and using bespoke environments, settings, and software.
Well, it won't happen. The language is too weird and for a language these days to make it, it has to target the lowest common denominator of developers.

If you can actually avoid the travel, sure.

I have been able to avoid travelling by car[0], but I have the luck of being in a city with good public transport and local-sized shops, so there are 5 tram stops (and several bus stops and a suburban rail station) and 8 supermarkets closer to me than the gap between the middles of Apple's south car park and their duck pond.

And back in Cambridgeshire, roads were quiet enough I was comfortable commuting (and shopping) by bike.

Not everyone is in such a well-designed place.

Agree, Racket was my first PL (well, it was Scheme back then) and in hindsight it was incredibly refreshing to not have to fight the computer to get my program to work. No syntax errors (no real syntax to speak of), no gotchas, no UB, no integer overflow... the list goes on. It gives you the opportunity to sit back and just think through your algorithms, which is what I think beginners would most benefit from.
Thank you. I try to remind myself that providing does matter, and focusing on being a dad is something I won’t get to do forever that could have a substantially positive impact on my kid’s lives.

If they’re things I do well and they make my family’s life better, it’s something, right?

I think the key sometimes is forgiving myself for not being everything for everyone. It sounds absurd when it’s written out like that, but is something I genuinely struggle with.

Thanks, thinking that through has actually helped me feel better about things.
It's another thing to say this was a program designed to help working people retire more comfortably and not as a tax shelter for risky investments. I know Thiel didn't do anything explicitly illegal so there's no recourse to recoup the taxes, but it's obviously skirting the spirit of the law. And a pretty easy regulatory update to cap the value of Roth withdrawals. No tax on gains up to $10M or something would protect 99.9% of savers and prevent this tactic from being weaponized.

You can see we're trying to put a 1kB object on heap, but the compiler generates two `memcpy` calls - first to copy it on stack to build the wrapper struct, second to actually copy the entire struct onto allocated memory.

In "real programs", you just need to look at the program's assembly. Or even more generally, I originally noticed this when observing the unusually high amount of time spent in some functions when profiling.

That's a hard question. What are some things that you like and dislike about living in your country? That's hard to answer in a general sense even if you lived all over the world. Move 1,10,100 km and the answers keep changing. I like we have rain to grow things and jobs are near by. I am sad because I can't go to the beach or mountains for dinner. I am sad I can't build 8 foot concrete walls around my yard and happy I don't have to. I am both happy and sad I can speak the local language. I am happy the police are more friend then foe.
As I understand, DHT is vulnerable to sybil and eclipse attacks, and not really suited to the task of creating a tamper proof log. If the log and timestamping is not tamper proof, key rotations can be spoofed. Users in the network may need to come to consensus about the ordering of events, such as if signed documents A and B are order dependent. See:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33639578

Simpler than DHT is just a server hosted in the US somewhere, like what keybase.io is doing, but that goes against my goal of decentralization.

In cases like business class, the airline provides specific products and labor for those who paid more, in order to make their experience better. In the "deliberately split up parties" case, the airline provides labor for those who paid less, so as to intentionally make their experience worse. That makes this an entirely different scenario.
It continues to baffle me why anyone would want to deal with Crypto if a failure like FTX causes the entire "decentralized" ecosystem to collapse.
I really don't care about the drug or addiction when the alternative is not taking it and not remaining employed. For me I need medication to keep a job if I could. Have a fun and free-wheeling life without employment and without medication. I would totally do that but the reality is in this world you need a job to earn money for everyday life.

They could have lowered the price in the us enough to not make it worth getting a cheapo version which the quality is frequently worse. What many did instead was to lower the quality and sell at high prices, in many cases books have poor binding, poor print and editing and so on.

Yeah it’s been extermely slow with the updates. The Bear 2.0 is currently on Mac-only beta but not yet open (unless you join their beta forum and ask for access), but even then, it doesn’t have the web app. I’ve seen the Bear team say that they did a full rewrite (in C++ I think?) so that it would be easier to implement the web app in future but who knows how many years in the future that is.

To be fair, I am not saying college can't be that kind of experience too!

They are looking for evidence that their employee completed a 4 year structured program.
Bitwig has a built in device that can do any 12-note tuning or equal division of the octave tuning (with tweakable octave I think). That said it cannot really do other tunings. But these two types of tuning are the most common, and I guess with the new Note Grid device it should in theory be possible to do pretty much any tuning.

Edit: it looks like sevish has multiple notes tuned the same in order to get less than 12 notes per octave, so that's also possible.

I'd say it's cruel. Paying interest on some medical procedure because you (and likely almost everyone else) cannot afford the eye-watering cost?

We need &out and &in, so we can safely write this stuff by hand. Then we can worry about the compiler automatically optimizing to use &out behind the scenes (using ABI flexibility).

Trying to skip that first step, so the compiler just does unverified shit behind the scenes, I think will just end up with inflexibility and disappointment. Be the tortoise not the hare.

Hot girl walks by. Make a point of checking her out. Believe me, there are a myriad of ways to express attraction to a certain type of person when in proximity to someone. Arguably the most direct being eye contact with someone you could be interested in.

Girl sees two men walking together holding hands. One makes eye contact + explicit gesture at her. She might think he's a creep, but probably won't think he's gay.

Your method of event dispatch is very common. NodeJS does it this way, as well as many other event dispatchers. It is also how I use to do it until I encountered a very nasty bug in Chrome DevTools.

Object A emits events.

Object B subscribes to A, and manages the lifetime of Object C

Object C subscribes to A in its constructor, and unsubscribes in its dispose function.

With the common event listener model, Object C could have its methods called
after dispose was called, even though it appeared to clean up its event listener!

You can check out the DOM spec for the correct behavior, which both clones
the event listeners arrray and sets a removed flag on them in case they
were removed after cloning.

What AI Developers Want Artists to Know about AI
> I can't see stealing some poor author's work in the same light.

I sympathize with this sentiment. I have writers in my family.

Anyone who wants to be making money in writing is either (1) doing something else, like being a celebrity, and selling a book directly to their pre-existing audience (2) writing for TV, movies or went to law school. So few authors make money on their books, that the existence (or non-existence) of piracy has no impact on the aggregate experience of authors.

> if we don't buy their books

The truth is there is no audience for the vast majority of paid-up-front books, games, movies, music or other creative media. There is a large audience for TikToks. Part of the journey is coming to terms with this. The reality is people are writing because they like to, and the money doesn't matter, and the piracy doesn't matter, and they are not on Hacker News complaining about it anyway.

That said, I believe these sentiments, expressed elsewhere, about being American and being poor or whatever. The commenters have limited empathy and bandwidth.
Choice of words is a component of subtext, as you hinted at yourself. Below I have hilighted the key action word, which is also an important choice when setting subtext.

"One in 5 people now think" is a positive-sounding construction which lends more statstical weight to the result than an impartial examination of the numbers, and people who scan headlines are far from impartial.

Other constructions are "4 in 5 still support...", or "80% still support", or "20% now think", which are all still mathematically neutral, but the subtext is different.

>I'd even go as far to say that the $5k/yr contribution limit of Roth account makes it pretty clear that Roth was not supposed to be used to gain tax privilege on vast sums of money.

How is this clear? By the same reasoning, one could say the lack of specification of maximum tax free gains makes it pretty clear that Roth was supposed to be used to gain tax privilege on vast sums of money.
The answer is that Ticketmaster gives 50% of their revenue to the venue, which is a pretty good deal for the venue, so they have every incentive to keep that relationship going

My point was that companies break the law a lot, and it usually takes a long time for those wrongs to be righted. By using a credit card, you avoid the harm in the meantime.

And nobody is denied a credit card just for being poor. What keeps you from getting a credit card is if you're poor but spend like you're rich, and so end up delinquent on a bunch of debt that bank gets stuck with.
