Don’t worry, Elon has tweeted that he “doesn’t care about this particular psyop”.

I suppose there was already various bits of evidence he was under the thumb of the CCP (see: that infamous Taiwan tweet and the aftermath), but this just reinforces that.

Humans, and the systems they create amongst themselves, like governments, are infinitely more fallible than hardened features of computer systems like database transactions. This is an unbelievably poor analogy.

This entire conversation reaffirms my belief that we need to require more humanities education for STEM majors.

FYI: despite popular misconception, "casualty" doesn't imply death. A casualty of war, for example, might actually refer to someone who is wounded/maimed/etc. but still survives.

If a house is consumed by lava and the occupant becomes displaced/homeless, it could reasonably be argued that it didn't result in zero casualties. Same goes for other things that might be more commonly understood as "collateral damage".
How to avoid temptation – why avoiding temptation is harder than you think
It is obvious at this point that China's "zero covid" policy has nothing at all to do with public health.

What many of us do not want to admit, is that our leaders have taken advantage of the crisis for their own benefit. I think most western media is reluctant to report on what is happening in China, because it would start uncomfortable conversations at home.

Seeing the Chinese government so nakedly use what's left of the pandemic to oppress their population is very problematic to our pandemic narrative. People might start to ask if perhaps their governments too have been doing that too.

The official narrative in the west has been that anything the government does to us in the name of protecting us from COVID is always correct and anyone who criticizes it is an evil "anti-vax" lunatic.

What's so special about SwiftUI compared to e.g Flutter/Jetpack Compose that I see posts about it frequently on the front page?
> It's not as much about putting in the work, but it's about putting in the right work and at the right moment.

A lot of truth here. Many times it's nigh impossible to work at 8am, but at 2pm I can nearly always be productive.
Then there are strn*_s since C11 (and available before that on many platforms) which do exactly what you want.
It's fair to say most JS code is only handling floats especially if you're just relying on JS's automatic casting
but JS does have BigInt as well, and it has a whole bunch of numerical typed arrays that only accept specifically typed numbers like Uint8 or Int32 etc. You can do math in JS quite safely if you delve into the less well-known types a bit.
Seems the setting screens are loaded on-demand, maybe using some plug-in architecture that results in overhead. Also, some panels require network communication which makes them even slower.

But even then, I agree there's no excuse.
I've been sensing this coming for some time given what Rome has been working on. Will be interesting to see how the rewrite pans out!

Any discussion these days around eslint reminds me of a new situation that still has me very confused where I've encountered a team of engineers that refuse to allow any formatting on their code. Are there any folks that run large JS/TS codebases with no automated linting/formatting by choice and maybe feel similarly or worked with other teams that do? I've come to expect eslint (and prettier) to be pretty much a given for a large JS/TS codebase.
SwiftUI is amazing, but the amount of polish you can only apply via representables is what's holding it back for me at the moment.
> I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.[32]

The first few matches were broadcast uncensored which caused a ruckus on Weibo leading to the current state of censorship. That's how the story goes, at least.

> 10s of millions of textured polygons every 16ms

But at what cost? 100% CPU and GPU usage, tons of system/video memory.

Also, rendering text with full capabilities (arbitrary font/size/color, emoji, ...) is much more complicated than drawing a textured polygon.

Just to check my understanding: a greenhouse, to me, is a structure that keeps in heat from irradiation by the sun and lets crops grow year-round.

What's a "Dutch greenhouse" specifically, what makes it different?
Those are common tropes in certain circles, but none of what you wrote is true as even a few moments of thinking about it analytically will confirm. For example, say that top 1% of attractive men are each maintaining 10 relationships - an absurdly high number - that might change things slightly for the top decile but does it really affect the median at all?

There are some people who push this for political or marketing reasons (think about how much money Andrew Tate or Jordan Petersen have made this way) but a lot of it depends on selectively ignoring the evidence. All of the men who I’ve heard talk like this have some combination of unrealistic expectations (Elon Musk can party with rock stars because his wealth is measured in hundreds of billions; J. Random IT Worker needs to bring more to the table) or, almost universally, being unwilling to accept that their attitudes and politics were the underlying cause. This can be tragic where you know women who are looking for men who won’t rape them or treat them like NPCs and men who are convinced that the problem is their lack of abs, and the latter spend all of their time hanging out with other men telling them to treat women as NPCs and only considering the hottest people they know.

We actually prefer the Beyond Meat patty to a real beef one about 3/4 times in my house. We also prefer their Italian sausage for several recipes.

Ask HN: Good skills to pick up for the coming recession?
So it happened. My company is cutting my hours. This has never happened to me before over a 10 year career (which has mostly been at other places). Between the layoffs at Twitter, Google and Meta, and the rumors I've been hearing for months that a recession is coming, it seems like the recession is starting to happen. What would be some good skills to pick up to make it through? I've heard Amazon cloud stuff is in demand, is that still the case? Or am I being overly paranoid about a recession starting?

Do these guys really say "We ran a neobank and figured out that billing is surprisingly complex."? Like, seriously? That's what you think was complex in your domain. If I had an account at that bank, I'd seriously consider closing it ASAP, because that smells like no one had an appreciation of the complexities of finance.

You forgot “how much is it due to women in many households are forced to take more than their fair share of household work for which they do not get paid, which prevents them from having the ability to work as intensely or as long at their paid job”

Edit: Oof looks really bad on users of a predominantly male site that that factual observation is downvoted.
It really is not that complex to understand:

You either love meat and won't touch these things with a 10 feet pole or 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.

The market really isn't that big imho, there are already plenty of alternative to meat for most applications, which are cheaper, less processed and taste as good or better

My gf is vegan, she makes home made black beans patties, cauliflower patties, spinach patties, &c. they're all excellent, it's more of a question of habit than taste in my opinion
Because now you've got an int pointer and an int. The star associates with the right, not left.

I prefer to use the variant you described though, because it feels more natural to associate the pointer with the type itself. As far as I know, the only pitfall is in the multiple declaration thing so I just don't use it.

IMO, it's also more readable in this case:

int *get_int(void);
int* get_int(void);

The second one more clearly shows that it returns a pointer-to-int.
I was looking forward to some well thought out strategy to manage the volume of information that I receive.

Alas, this article provided nothing to me but alarm bells, even based on the article's own method of validation. For example, the Dr. Kozyreva wrote several articles on "critical ignoring", yet none of them are referenced. No claims are actually referenced.

The "lateral reading" immediately set alarms off in my mind, and I think the recommendation is diametrically opposed to how I believe we should read news.

It recommends to do "what fact checkers" do.

> Normally we read a website from top to bottom. That's how we learn it in school: to critically examine a text by going through it very carefully from beginning to end. Fact checkers proceed differently: they open another tab in the browser - i.e. sideways - and do internet searches on who’s behind the website. There are an astonishing number of sites that make themselves appear legitimate, but are in fact backed by lobby groups, for example from industry, who try to influence public opinion in this way.

In short I interpret this as - abandon the albeit slow, but well thought out scientific method. Trust other sources to make the judgement for you. The author & affiliation are the primary driver of the decision, irrelevant of the validity of the claim itself.

Horrifying. According to this, "fact checkers" do not check facts, only who makes the claim, irrelevant of the claim's veracity.
I'm sorry but you're continuing to spread pure misinformation, in case anybody else sees this.

Whether it's minority ownership or affirmative action in its workforce is irrelevant. Employment policy is policy around protected classes, it's not speech.

While your case of 'you don't get contracts if you say "don't buy from Jews"' makes contracts dependent upon speech. Which contradicts the first amendment.

The distinction is not complicated here. You might not like it, but the distinction exists.
> At the very least, you mostly know who they are.

Which means pretty much nothing. It's not like you live in the same community as the authors of news articles. There's very little you can do individually that can affect them.

It used to be that you were more likely to actually be in the same on-line community as the blogger providing alternative take on events (it's not the same as being in the same physical community, but it's not nothing), but I guess it's rarely the case these days.

I don't have any solutions here. I generally trust neither the mainstream nor alternative sources, which leads me to form weak or no opinions on events in the news - but it's all context-specific. There are bloggers who I trust to be accurate and honest. There are topics on which I feel I can safely take traditional news reporting at face value. There are topics where I accept we'll have to wait a couple years before we get some reliable information.
I don't think this is correct. If UB is never invoked, the program is conforming and must be translated/executed correctly.

DR #109 specifically states that a compiler may not fail to translate a strictly conforming program just because some possible executions could trigger UB: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/docs/rr/dr_109.html

Edit: downvoters, please explain your disagreement. I cited a primary document in support of my position.
HN Who is hiring job posts over time
With the economic downturn over the last year and the recent rounds of layoff news, I was curious to see if the "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" job posts reflected that.

Here's the code used to scrape HN API, kinda hacky: https://github.com/bfung/HNAnalytics

Here's the data and the a chart on [google sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18kLWHkrEedpl1eXzAht_se8GEKd0G9zrlz7SutP2uLQ/edit#gid=846434603)

A few things stick out: Dec and Jan are low job post months, as it makes sense due to holidays and fiscal cycles, and it shows in the # of posts.

Hope this helps would be job hunters in preparing for the next few months.

Logic and Linear Algebra: An Introduction
> I have to say, I think they'd be crazy not to write the new version in TypeScript.

I disagree. The lesson learned from a decade of js tooling is performance issues.

That is why you see more and more js tooling rewritten in rust or other fast languages.

This is GOOD for js development, in the sense you end up with better faster more powerful tooling.
> Don’t worry, Elon has tweeted that he “doesn’t care about this particular psyop”.

I thought you were joking or making some kind of reference. Nope, that's exactly what we tweeted https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1597183438779342849
Good question.

Ketamine has been a party drug for quite a while now, and as far as I know, hasn't been shown to be particularly dependency-inducing, though low-dose ketamine over the long term might be (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6236511/)

Also, as far as I know, ketamine treatment isn't intended as an ongoing medication, like an SSRI, but as a treatment for acute episodes of depression. I might be wrong about that; webmd says, "For treatment-resistant depression, patients usually get the nasal spray twice a week for 1 to 4 weeks; then once a week for weeks 5 to 9; and then once every week or 2 after that." However, the use-cases I know about (from talking to researchers studying it) is as an intervention to prevent suicide during severe depression (since it's relatively fast acting).

As always, its a cost-benefit calculation, that should be carefully made in consultation with a professional. The cost of severe depression can be quite high.
> If there is a problem with vaccination rates, the CCP has tools to make that happen.

Xi has been notably against vaccine mandates, even going so far as to reprimand a city that started asking for vaccine proof. I suspect that he himself is probably unvaccinated (afraid of needles, maybe?)

Plus, it gives a great excuse to track tracking everyone’s movements at all times.
Come on, dude: he's clearly saying, "Yes, (of course, obviously) really poor people in the world we actually live in have to face dirty water and worse, but this is not acceptable."
I had every rank from the first guess and then had to use two more guesses just to find the appropriate suits with the only information being that I needed to avoid putting a flush on the board.

I like it, and would be interested to see some entropy analysis like what 3bl1br did with Worldle when it first got popular.

Curious how the measurable information entropy changes with guesses across these different types of games... I have a feeling that while Wordle can get to a point where you're stuck with even guesses, I doubt it would happen as often as with this Pokle game.
"Cosmetic" and "semantic" aren't synonyms, saying "this project has 100 issues" has a different meaning from "there are 100 features which users want to see implemented".

But no, the wording isn't the only/main issue IMO, it's the lack of a clean separation between problems which should be fixed and non-problems which don't need to ever be resolved. It's a cognitive thing for maintainers, I believe mixing up those things contribute to burn-out through the purely psychological effects of being told by the UI that there are 100 things which need to be solved when there may in fact only be 5, it's a public perception thing when the stat that's prominently placed on the repo page is the number of open issues.

And yes, it's vague. It's not the technical lack of a good enough labelling and search system. And maybe different people react differently to this stuff, maybe some people have no trouble dealing with the lack of a clean separation. But given the fact that burn-out in open source is such a huge issue, maybe conflating the stuff which must be fixed and the stuff which doesn't have to be fixed isn't such a great idea.

What about a price to CO2 (with equivalence calculation) emission? This would automatically make the (beef) meat significantly more expensive. And it would essentially just put a price on something which costs a price later anyway.
Everybody, including you, have an agenda. China Insights is great because they always provide video evidence and high quality references (such as official government documents).

The fact that China Insights in the video claimed that the media blurred the audience outside the live broadcast (which again was backed up by video evidence) is a testament to the high quality and factual accuracy of their reporting.
Yes, I was thinking exactly this: if someone suggested adding such a warning, chances are they were far from the only one burnt.
