I agree. My favorite foods, that I rarely eat for health reasons, are brisket & wings.

I believe the Beyond meat burger tastes much better than most beef. I prefer them to the black bean patties, etc.
> Credit scores based on credit card use seems fundamentally broken.

The thing that makes me angry is that I am not interested in their money, credit is still needed even when installing internet at my home (looking at you AT&T), where the bill could be prepaid instead, but they could still reject you and charge a high deposit. It's beyond ridiculous.

> I think only the US has this system?

I think so. And I hope no one gets "inspired" thinking the US is perfect and copies the same system in their country.

Autism, or Early Isolation? (2015)
I hope they stick around (Impossible should be ok). They're not the healthiest, but they're a rare semi-reliable vegetarian/vegan option for when you go out to restaurants. Otherwise you usually have to eat french fries or pasta. And they're also higher protein which is difficult to find going out unless you want to cook all your food at home.
JS vs TS does not impact runtime performance.

Now whether you use JS at all is a completely different point, but I think the parent was making a point about TS > JS, than TS > other languages.
> Suppose it did come from a lab, by malice, incompetence, bad luck, or otherwise. Why would this imply that China knows more about it than anyone else?

Because the Chinese government started reacting to it as early as fall 2019, despite the best efforts of American big tech companies to cover it up.

Because people made the very reasonable assumption that the unusual and highly virulent form of COVID that originated right near one of the only places on the planet where they were specifically creating that virus actually came from that lab.

I am still in awe of people's continued denial about this.

Even the mainstream media is reluctantly admitting it now, just search for "lab leak" on Google News.

Anyone that paid any attention to so called "conspiracy" news sources knew about COVID well in advance. Back in December 2019 I saw countless videos of Chinese soldiers in hazmat suits rounding up civilians
while they begged for their lives.

And most "informed" people were in denial until February or March 2020.

So, perhaps if you can admit you were wrong about COVID at the start of the pandemic, perhaps you are also wrong about it now?
Here's a couple possible solutions:

* Separate "Issues" and "Requests", give each their own tab in the top-level UI. This creates a relatively clean separation between what requires attention because something is broken and what can be ignored until you want ideas for what features can be added or otherwise improved. Maybe GitHub doesn't need anything more generic than this.

* Have a category system, where the maintainer can create their own issue categories. Put these categories, with the number of entries in each category, in the sidebar, so that that's what people see rather than the one "Issues" number.

Maybe both of those solutions are bad and a good UX designer (not a random commenter on HN who has thought about this for 2 minutes) can think of something better. Maybe both of those solutions are bad and there is no good solution and the current approach is the best possible. I don't know. Notably though, "there is no solution to the problem that's not worse than the problem itself" does not mean the same as "there is no problem".
The key point is this:

> significantly more potential for performance improvements in the frameworks

"Hand-crafted" imperative code will always have more potential, but most code is not this sort of code, and most engineers probably don't have the skillset to be able to do this, at least not when traded-off with implementing features and shipping customer value (no criticism, this is likely the right trade-off).

Declarative code shifts that control to the platform owner where they can improve things for everyone. Apple has a significant vested interest in this, I'd say more so than React, as people blame their iPhone for being slow, or their browser, but not React or SwiftUI.

I'd also suggest that most declarative UI frameworks I'm familiar with have been in higher level languages such as JS, HTML, or QML, or things that run in a browser environment. I'm not sure we've seen something that's in a relatively performant, compiled language, for an environment that assumes reasonable graphics performance.

Apple are explicitly targeting 60fps here, it's clear performance is a first class concern, rather than just an afterthought, and this is the most convincing case for a declarative UI framework achieving it that I've seen.
Rewrites rarely end well but that’s not a reason to never do a rewrite. The problem with rewrites is that they’re often a very expensive solution to the wrong problem. If your system is bad, it’s probably not the code at fault, it’s probably something to do with the specification or communication.

However… when code is the problem, rewrites make a lot of sense. Eslint is a very well understood program, there’s absolute clarity about what it does and what it should do across contributors, and they’re constantly battling bad code. A rewrite, in this situation, where other problems have been ruled out, is probably a good option.
> This radio jockey can play your requested songs, tell you about the weather, and convey the daily news. To give it a more radio like feel, it also tells advertisements (from fictional companies, of course!), conducts a daily QnA with the audience, and tells some "On this day..." facts.

Very interesting and impressive!

Having said that, exactly for this I never cared much for radio.

Interpreter Breaks Down How Real-Time Translation Works
Bare minimum of three days after pressure is restored for microbial cultures to be considered negative.
If you had a type checker bug you didn't you manually test that code path at the bare minimum. Type check bugs are the most simplistic bugs to catch. Is it nice sure, but if you can't spot those before you ship I can almost guarantee that you have larger logic bugs that the types won't catch.

What isn't helpful is the the notion that types replace testing. Either manual testing or unit/functional/generative testing. It isn't "safer" at all, it does speed up development by catching the simple bugs so the run edit compile loop is less. If you're saying "my code compiles then it's works", I don't buy it.
fork() doesn't actually copy entire pages of memory. But it does have to copy the page tables (note - someone else might be able to chip in and tell me that Linux has an optimisation for that too). The actual pages are held with a copy-on-write status, so they won't be copied until they are actually modified by one of the processes.

There are quite a lot of things that survive exec(). Not least of which is the set of open files. This is how a shell will pass on the definitions of stdin/stdout/stderr to a command that you want it to run, for example. Also, environment variables survive exec().
1. The good stuff is for export.

> My best selling app Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/) is done in AppKit with Storyboards and it’s a pain to maintain (source here: https://github.com/alin23/Lunar)

I just wanted to say that you can and most likely should use UIKit without touching interface builder.
It's been over 5 years since I've used interface builder and I have no regrets. Just build your UI programatically relying mostly on UIStackViews, constraints and multiple levels of views embedded in views. Write your own helpers on top of UIKit to help you compose views in a more compact way. I basically have a dozen functions I re-use over and over and over to build complex UI from these simple primitives.
Of course people should write tests.

But there are many subtle reasons why a test might not get written. Sometimes it’s deadlines. Sometimes it’s because a component is hard to test in isolation. Sometimes it’s just an honest mistake.

So, while I would encourage everyone to write tests I also won’t judge them for not doing it.

Ask HN: Why is there so little info on the web about IBM mainframe programming?
I recently heard on a podcast that IBM is selling more mainframes today than at any other time in its history. This piqued my curiosity. I don't know the first thing about mainframes so I was interested to learn how one goes about coding for a mainframe. But a Google search on this topic brings up very little. Most of the results are on IBM's own website, and even that contains only high-level details. The usual places like Stack Overflow and YouTube have a dearth of info on IBM mainframe programming. So, my question is: why?

The most likely explanation would be that there are hardly any mainframe developers. But IBM's website proclaims that "ninety percent of Fortune 500 companies rely on the IBM Mainframe" and "eighty percent of the worlds corporate data resides or originates on the mainframe." If that's true then surely there must be a reasonable number of mainframe developers out there? And if there are, then why is there so little info for them on the web? Is the knowledge proprietary and secret? Or is it just somewhere other than the usual places?

I would be really interested to hear from anyone with knowledge about this.
That only because bool was usually an old alias to int.. It's defined as alias to _Bool in stdbool.h, highly recommended.

> then why would you be concerned who mastodon.art is federated with? wouldn’t you just join there and enjoy the specific community…

Because the community is closed, currently lol.

> these seem to entirely contradict each other.

Yea, i think we agree? My point was (roughly) that Federation contradicts being part of a community if you rely on Federation to be part of the community.

Ie don't use federation if you need to be part of a specific community. And in my case, well, i guess i just don't join lol. If the community is at max capacity, too late. Maybe one day they open, but such is life. Federation isn't designed for this, it seems, and that's fine. "This" being, distributing a community. It seems communities are centralized.
Text message via one's phone number isn't the only way of doing 2FA...

Twitter also support the use of an authentication app to generate codes [0] (or a physical security key, which likely is far from practical for most folk).

I use an authentication app for 2FA on a few different sites, I think the process is alright, and don't mind the small amount of extra friction for the gain in security (whilst additionally not disclosing my phone number). I'm currently using Authy [1], recommended by a friend, and haven't really looked at others, but there are a few different alternatives available (some of which are mentioned on the Twitter 2FA page here).

This doesn't really make sense - nature is, almost by definition, what's been sustained so far on this planet. It has a number of homeostatic feedback mechanisms. It tends to "enforce" stability by die-offs; species that overconsume their food have population crashes.

What is normally meant by "sustainability" in a human context is avoiding that overshoot and dieoff..
There's a lot in "C", but I don't see anything in it that really isn't needed to serve its modern purpose.

In 2022 "C" is used as a portable assembly language. When you really need to control where and how memory is allocated, and represent data structures used directly by the hardware in a high-level language.
Burger King uses Impossible. You could be right about the business side, but I point this out because I think Impossible is substantially better than Beyond.

Like I don't think Beyond could fool a meat eater for a second (and it's not as explicitly their intention), whereas Impossible is pretty damn convincing in certain contexts.

Also, Impossible started out strongly focused on the restaurant industry, and AFAIK still doesn't even bother with supermarkets. Whereas Beyond started as a supermarket item. Even if I did like Beyond I agree I'd be less inclined to buy these to cook myself.

Good point, I meant it is a loan word.

In the era of socially sensitive language, I would like to see the Nazi swastika referred to with the German term, to rehabilitate the term swastika.

If you are against socially engineering language to make it more culturally sensitive via things like gender pronouns, removing certain slurs etc. Then ok at least that is a consistent ethical position, and understandable.

But if you support the use of more inclusive language, then this would be my request.
Not sure if it's frequency bias, but when did the perceived "Poker == Texas Holdem" happen? I remember when I was learning about Poker as a kid/teenager in Europe I didn't hear about that variant, then I didn't play for a bit and suddenly there's only Texas Holdem.
Was your friend vaccinated?
From my own anecdotal experience, all of my triple vaccinated friends and coworkers are catching covid several times a year, while myself and my family that are unvaccinated, haven't been seriously sick from covid except once. I caught it once, very bad early on, and then was out for a week about a year and a half later, but have had countless covid exposures with no issues.

One of my friends, a nurse that we frequently hang out with will always let us know when she's gotten sick and recently been in proximity. She's been sick with covid more than a handful of times this year and she's now sworn off any more shots. Especially since she gets sicker every time she catches covid. I don't know anyone that's planning on taking more shots at this point.
I don't think this is actually in disagreement.

The advocacy for Typescript is for type safety. Using Rust hits that same benefit.
The problem being that to trigger a compile error the compiler would have to know all its reserved type names ahead of time.

It is not required to do so, hence undefined behavior. You might get a wrong underlying type under that name.

Pointer Compression in V8 Oilpan
Kind of a non-sequitor, but there is one specific tool that has helped me break out of my smartphone addiction: books! The process is simple:

1. Leave phone somewhere not in my pocket and not within reach
2. Always have a book handy in my free time.

At least in my case, reaching for and reading my phone happens pre-cognition. It's completely automatic. I've found that I enjoy reading just as much, but unless I plan for it I don't have a book in reach. So the solution has been pretty simple: keep a book in reach!

Highly recommend.

If there were no benefits to cryptocurrency people would not voluntarily use it. It really is that simple. And yes, I know there are dangers. "Think of the children!"

If the regulated financial infrastructure was a better alternative, there would be no need to create decentralized cryptocurrency platforms.

This is a very common theory on Beyond/vegetarian meat-like alternatives. At least in my perception, this is incorrect. I eat vegetarian, and know many others in my circles (24-32 year olds, mostly in Ams and NYC) who do, or who try to eat less meat. This:

> you are vegetarian/vegan and usually take care of what you put in your body, meaning probably a limited amount of junk/processed food, meaning no fake meat substitutes.

is very false for my circles. All this means for these people just means "no meat" or "no animal products". These people around me (and I) eat just as many frozen pizzas, microwave meals, and junk food as any other person. We just substitute meat versions for non-meat versions. That usually means making fully vegetarian/vegan dishes, but it's not at all uncommon, especially among those who eat less meat, to substitute meat with meat-like alternatives.

I know very few people who actually care to put in the time to home-make their own patties etc.
What is being said here is basically the tautological truth that official government acts are indeed the official government acts, generally with some mechanism such as signing, publishing in an official gazette or something like that. Not that government can define reality.

Your Trump example in the other post is the most interesting because Trump actually created confusion on this point, by tweeting random stuff about acts that he then would never follow the proper channels for etc.

This is a fair point, but from what I've seen from Swift UI these optimisations are already happening.

Lists used to be backed by UITableViews in all contexts I believe. Now, if I remember rightly, they are backed by a mix of UICollectionView and raw combinations of views depending on various factors like the number of elements or whether that number changes.

These sorts of changes didn't go super smoothly, I think iOS 13.0 was the first one with SwiftUI, then 13.3 changed a lot of the under the hood details and broke some things (we had 13.2/3 specific hacks), but since iOS 14 things have been much more stable and there have been fewer breakages.
It varies a lot depending on where you live, I'm in Berlin and a lot of restaurants have more vege/vegan options than meat ones these days. Hopefully it'll continue and that path everywhere.

Well prepared tofu/seitan/mushrooms are delicious, nutritive, much more environmentally friendly and you don't have to ask yourself if they were raised ethically or in hell like conditions

It's not perfect, and I have nothing against meat per se, but I acknowledge that we can't eat meant 1-2 times a day every day sustainably/ethically and affordably

Eruptions on the big island happen pretty frequently, maybe about 1-2 times per decade (partly because there are several volcanoes there; Kilauea was erupting when I was there less than a decade ago). It's in some ways comparable to hurricanes on the gulf coast, but with fewer deaths historically. Not to say that it is safe as such, but residents of the big island are very good at dealing with it.
Ask HN: What was your experience taking a break and following your passions?
I'm a software engineer who is coming up on 8 yoe, mostly in startups. At my last role change I took a slight pay cut to work for a "mission driven" startup, but I've still been feeling the itch to do something for myself. I have lots of hobbies I could invest time in, for example, and I dream of actually creating something.

Despite having some savings from being pretty financially responsible over the years, I feel anxiety from the idea of not having healthcare (unmarried, in the US) and the current job market.

How did you do this, what did you do during the break, and how did it turn out?

Simpler hypothesis: if's it's a lab-leak, all the dead can be blamed on the Party itself because it failed securing the labs and it ended up killing it's own citizens. Thus you have an incentive to do everything possible to minimize the number of dead, thus lockdowns.
For me, and I'm not sure how widespread this opinion is, it's not a health halo. I treat beyond/impossible burgers like I treat beef burgers: an occasional dietary splurge. I like them for a few reasons: more sustainably sourced, signalling with my pocketbook that alternatives are important, getting my kids ok with not eating meat occasionally (meatless Mondays sort of thing).
From what I've heard ketamine is already (ab)used as a recreational drug since decades back and does have addiction risk.
Not addiction risk anything like heroin though, and the trips are apparently mostly unpleasant.

Ketamine in its present form is decidedly not ideal for depression treatment, but probably a tradeoff often worth considering compared to the risks of severe and enduring depression. Amine neurotransmittor reuptake inhibitors have quite substantial problems associated with them too (there we arguably really have had a case of the mistaken and excessive wonder-drug status you allude to).

The true excitement of ketamine-based depression treatment is perhaps more in that it is something different. It quickly affects the problematic state, by some mechanism which appears to be quite different from the now "classical" antidepressants. That has potential both as a basis for more refined drugs and more importantly to better understand the real mechanisms underpinning depression.
Yes but who is going to believe that after hearing so many other drugs will ruin their lives then finding out they don't?
Pea protein is a garbage incomplete protein too.
Lol no. These are the Annex K stuff which Microsoft got into the standard, which got standardised with a different behaviour than Windows’ (so even on windows following the spec doesn’t work) and which no one else wants to implement at all.

And they don’t actually “do exactly what you want”, see for instance N1967 (“field experience with annex k”) which is less than glowing.
