On the face it looks pretty balanced. If you don't recidivate within 4 years you get your record sealed with the following [quite necessary exceptions]: "People convicted of serious and violent felonies, as well as those requiring sex offender registration, won’t have their records cleared under the law. And criminal histories would still be disclosed in background checks when people apply to work in education, law enforcement or public office."

That said, there are likely some unintended consequences and hopefully those would get addressed over time.

People feel very smart when making quips like this. Unfortunately for you, my goalpost is precisely the same:

> "paradox of tolerance" is a hypocrisy. If you are intolerant only to the intolerant you are not tolerant, it is as simple as that.

> It's ok to be intolerant at some things. What's not ok is to be intolerant and still claim to be tolerant. That's hypocrisy

(Don't hurt yourself, I understand it is an uncomfortable situation for you)
I could see a plurality of edges are actually F<->F, though? Such that most people you connect with are connected with everyone else you also connect with. You will just have a few people in any large group that are hyper connected outside of that group. Such that, as likely, you have the same number of friends as any given friend. Similarly, though, most likely you will have fewer friends than the average of all of your friends.

Because the people who are excited about the boring company clearly do not understand anything about how a typical subway functions. For the cities, they do know better, they often compared these projects against the cost of rail transit, they just got fleeced by Boring company that straight up made up numbers apparently about project costs with no intention to deliver. Like it would be a comparison of a 1 billion dollar light rail or a supposedly 48 million dollar underground right of way, that's damn attractive for cities.
Oh—I think this is just another Pareto distribution: a small minority of people have the majority of friends (probably something like the top 20% of people have 80% of the friends).

You're probably friends with several people in that top 20% because they know a lot of people. The average number of friends your friends have including the outliers is going to be higher than the number of friends you have.
You must be in a relatively mild winter area, or avoid winter driving. Around upstate NY, you rarely see winter cars older than about 20 years. I got 18 years and 250,000 miles out of a Toyota Highlander and that felt absolutely ancient. The underframe was really starting to rust out. It was getting too expensive to maintain at that point.

Everything old is either summer show cars that never see salt, or rust buckets barely holding together. I definitely see the appeal of simple cars though.
Sounds like a bias-variance tradeoff to me.
> Could you elaborate what I can do in C++ that I can't do in Rust (using unsafe, if I must)?

Use existing C++ libraries/code. I love Rust, or at least what I've seen of it since I haven't gotten the pleasure to use it in a meaningful capacity, but it's naive to pretend existing code can just be re-written and therefore existing languages should stop improving.

I do think it'll be fascinating to see how the performance of Rust and C++ ends up shaking out head to head. That is, how much is Rust actually sacrificing in performance by reducing the amount of UB (if anything, or if other aspects allow for better performance on average)

This is basically the housing market. Homebuilders react to high prices by continuing to build more homes as long as they can do so at a profit. Not hard to understand. There is always overshooting. That's OK, it results in a lot of homes.

Those who complain that there isn't enough housing are complaining that they are being priced out of popular areas. It's like complaining you can't afford a BMW and have to stick with an old Ford. Housing in the U.S. is still available and home ownership rates are relatively high.

The problem is that well-paid jobs are scarce, and getting scarcer, which puts a lot of pressure on housing in the handful of areas that have well-paid jobs. But that's not a problem with the national housing market, but the local markets in hot regions, which are captive to local zoning laws in those markets. Again, not something homebuilders can address easily.

I wish people would stop talk about housing problems and instead focus on the distribution-of-jobs problem. Housing is never going to be fast enough to catch up to a hot jobs market area, and it will always end up overshooting. Moreover, as a nation, we need well paid jobs to be much more geographically diverse if we are to survive as something other than pockets of wealth surrounded by vast regions of poverty.

I think it’s useful to remember why so many people jumped to iPads, because we did that experiment for a couple decades. When people have the ability to install arbitrary code we know they will, and will click through almost any warning if they’ve been promised money, games, or porn. I think the sandboxing approach is getting closer to where you could potentially safely have third-party stores but I think that would still leave a lot of abuse if it allowed VPNs or content filters, full screen use, background operations, etc.

I don’t love where that leaves us but it does make me wonder whether a better compromise would be something like regulation requiring third-party app installs but with some kind of business liability & registration requirement so e.g. Epic could set one up but fly by night scammers couldn’t easily set something up and spam AARP members.
On long and variable lags in monetary policy
I've been using GPT-3 recently to give me ideas for my nanowrimo novel. I'll just paste in the last couple of paragraphs that I wrote and see what it thinks I should write next. Most of the time, the responses are pretty silly (it gets into loops a lot or doesn't know where to take the story) but a couple of times I've gotten some really good lines out of it.

It kinda feels like copilot, but for writing!

I don't know if I quite said it before - but I don't think a relationship just "succeeds" or "fails." A good relationship occupies the "right" amount of space in each person's life for that pair of people and also is, for each person, part of a larger healthier whole. There are many variables in this balancing act and we are all getting it at least a little 'wrong' all of the time.

Generally, you can make any relationship closer by investing more time into it. But that means you risk getting stuck in trying to make a relationship fill a spot it won't ever fill. Often, that relationship will be "better" if you can accept less intimacy and hold it less tightly. There are people who can be extremely important to us, even if we can't take too much intimacy.

> Several times different people tried to make friends with me, I tried to be open for it, and it didn't work out.

Yah! Of course! This is always possible. Sometimes relationships just don't work for either person, despite everyone's best efforts. In those situations, the kindest thing we can do is gently invest less energy into the dynamic. Sometimes you can find an unexpected new relationship that's less than 'friendship' but still valuable and compelling. If you think about it like someone did something wrong, it's becomes more discouraging than it has to be.
Specifically arrays [T; N] are Copy if precisely T is Copy. So, an array of 32-bit unsigned integers [u32; N] can be copied, and so can an array of immutable string references like ["Hacker", "News", "Web", "Site"] but an array of mutable Strings cannot.

The array of mutable Strings can be memcpy'd and there are situations where that's actually what Rust will do, but because Strings aren't Copy, Rust won't let you keep both - if it did this would introduce mutable aliasing and so ruin the language's safety promise.

>Like leeches, maggots have a long history in treating wounds. They are thought to have been used by the Mayan tribes of Central America and Aboriginal Australians. Their first recorded use by a doctor was during the American civil war.

>The first documented therapeutic use of maggots in the United States is credited to a second Confederate medical officer Dr. J.F. Zacharias, who reported during the American Civil War that:

He recorded a high survival rate in patients he treated with maggots.

On the contrary, the latter is a far more effective way to think about UB. If you try to imagine that the compiler's behaviour has some logic to it, sooner or later you will think that something that's UB is OK, and you will be wrong. (E.g. you'll assume that a program has reasonable, consistent behaviour on x86 even though it does an unaligned memory access). If you look at the way the GCC team responds to bug reports for programs that have undefined behaviour, they consider the emit_nasal_demons() version to be what GCC is designed to do.
Small and single-user instances don't really fall prey to this - how is one even supposed to know what a single-user instance is blocking if you don't tell them?

Anyway, even for those that do what you'd have is a stratification into levels of instances with different tolerance levels of blocking. I think this is a very different dynamic than exists on Twitter, can you explain more about what the identical dynamic would be?

The C and C++ (and D) compilers I wrote do not attempt to take advantage of UB. What you got with UB is what you expected to get - a seg fault with a null dereference, and wraparound 2's complement arithmetic on overflow.

I suppose I think in terms of "what would a reasonable person expect to happen with this use of UB" and do that. This probably derives, again, from my experience designing flight critical aircraft parts. You don't want to interpret the specification like a lawyer looking for loopholes.

It's the same thing I learned when I took a course in race in high performance driving. The best way to avoid collisions with other cars is to be predictable. It's doing unpredictable things that cause other cars to crash into you. For example, I drive at the same speed as other traffic, and avoid overtaking on the right.

> the furthest I seem to get is “how was your weekend?”

Not a social expert here, but that isn't a bad start! Sure, it's a bit small-talk-y, but it can open up more interesting conversation topics. Assuming the person you're talking to give you more than just "oh, it was fine", anyway.

You can also modify it to "did you do anything interesting over the weekend?" And then if they say something specific, you can follow up with deeper questions about what they tell you they did, and go from there.

I get that it's hard, though. I considered myself an "extroverted introvert" (and even an "introverted extrovert", on my more socially-energetic days), though pandemic isolation has weakened the extrovert part. I often feel like asking deeper follow-up questions is intrusive and somehow bothersome, but I think the first step is to just make yourself not care, and ask anyway. Listen to how the person responds, and you should be able to get an idea if they do want to talk more about it, or if they'd rather not. If not, you can slow down and disengage. But if they do, then that's a good sign to continue.

We already have the technology to make tunnels. Boring Co's tunneling machines are all machines they purchased from other companies and mildly customized.

News flash: all boring machines are customized on site to the specific needs of each project. Boring Co wasn't even the first company to modify their boring machine to use electric power. They were just the only ones to brag about doing something that many others have already done.

Boring Co hasn't even managed to learn how to use the machines it has. Its tunnels are still the roughest in the industry; they're considered so rough that a number of industry-standard processes and add-on equipment (such as retaining-wall rigs) won't even work in Boring Co's tunnels because they're so poorly bored.

Show HN: Figma plugin to convert screen recordings to screenshots
I was tired of wasting hours taking screenshots on my phone—use this plugin to generate screen inventories in minutes.
Nice answer! Makes me wonder.

The thing about nature is that it's also above/beside us, it has no defined ruler, we don't have control over it.

Technology / platforms are our own creations. own creations need to be controlled and guided, at-the-least just to ensure lights stay on; and humans are fallible. The argument goes that if someone has control over it, they are allowed to exert that control.

Now you can simply say "I will control it" or "my chosen governance will" or "it's democratised rotating name list" or whatever, it's still going to be an aspect of human control, and humans will always have an "in group" and "out group" to them, the platform will benefit humanity the most (for the in group).

I wonder if there's a way to make a "decentralised" platform. using your open source twitter as an example, go a step further and have:

* anyone can contribute code. as long as PR automated checks go green, it can merge?

* Then we must ensure that we have checks that all new code is not malicious, has testing, has documentation, etc. -- as part of the automated process?

* PR automated checks might run every day and delay themselves for a year to ensure that others can observe the code changes? (and do what? they can't block it, they can only put in a contingency plan ?)

I think we're trying to near towards making our own creations here where there's a "tower of babel" or "icarus close to the sun" vibe.
I don't mean that. It's very uncommon for the wealthy to drink. It's not really a thing. They all think it's a scam and they don't like their kids near it either. It's the reason so many girls do horseback riding. It's a controlled environment.

> What I'm trying to get at is deforestation will always happen if forests are allowed to be sold

That's not really true. Most land in the world isn't developed. Just allowing it to be developed doesn't mean it will be in some manifest-destiny sort of way: there has to be some incentive to develop it. It might turn out that undeveloped, unstrategically located land simply has little economic value (and is more valuable as a carbon sink).

Making food, industry and dwelling more land efficient would push down the economic incentives to develop more land.
