I don't know, because if you're writing programs for things like IoT or embedded, then you're dealing with nothing but wimpy little low power processors where removing a bounds check gives you huge increases. Then, it makes no sense to have checks by default if you're going to get rid of them anyway.
Yeah, that seemed quite immature and unnecessary.

No, what does category theory unlock from mathematics that I can not get without it.
> When, as a reporter for a major paper, do you call a CEO a crook? That's a tough call.

No, it’s not. The answer is never — unless that person has been charged with and convicted of a crime.

To do otherwise would expose the reporter to enormous potential civil liability. Defamation is a thing.

Prosecutors charge people with crimes, not reporters.
If you do end up thinking about this seriously, I think the world could absolutely use a course looking at how to build compilers like APIs and how to build compilers that put IDE experiences first. Just about every college course prepares students for how to build batch compilers that do one thing and quit, with zero extension points.

If there was a course structured so as to teach compiler principles in a Roslyn way, I’d enroll today.

None of Theranos enablers seemed to suffer at all after Theranos went down. Why do any of their board members still have careers? Why is Stanford's Channing Robertson still advising companies?

I presume the dozens of people, news organizations, celebrity endorsers, politicians, and investment gurus who hyped FTX won't suffer a bit either. And I think that's wrong.

> People will move to less crowded cities if they become too expensive.

The vast majority of people die within 10 miles of where they were born. People want to live near their families, and for the most part do not want to move to another city, and won't even if their rent is difficult to afford.

> Realpage doesn't control the prices for the majority of housing in the US, the majority of rental units in the US, or even the majority of multifamily rental units in the US.

They don't need to. They just need to control the prices for particular cities, because market prices are heavily tied to regions and not to the entire US. Detroit's housing market crashing didn't affect SF's rent.

I'm sort of OCD about open tabs. I close them whenever I'm finished (or think I'm finished). Worst case scenario, I open the browser history and navigate back to what I wanted. This doesn't happen very often. If something needs saving, it goes into my bookmarks.

Slightly unrelated, but I'm the same way on my desktop too. I hate open windows that I'm not actively using. I always force close things on my MacBook.

Therefore net new expansion widely further achieves those means.
That's exactly true. Right now, app megacorporations are only using Apple's App Store (with the protections like Ask Not To Track) because they are forced to. The moment those corporations aren't forced to, they will turn around and force whatever consumers to use the app store that the corporations prefer.

The choice of app store isn't ever in the consumer's hands, its in the corporations hands (Apple or otherwise).

Definitely not where you store your passwords! In my case, since I don't store my passwords on my phone, I have my TOTP app there, and then for backup, I print the QR codes when I set up TOTP and secure them in the physical world. Restoring my 2FA setup to a new phone is easy: I just scan through the stack of paper!
Considering that 99% of web app password authentication reduces to email authentication via ‘forgot password’, a good first step would be dropping the password and just using emailed tokens (or links) directly.
There are plenty of non-scam blockchain companies. I’ve worked at a few, and started one myself. But unless you are an industry recognized cryptographer or something, the random inquiries you get are not going to be from good companies. It’s the scams who don’t care who they pick up as talent.

Xerography is electrostatic, not magnetic.

Magnetic printers, with magnetic toner, have been built [1] but never really caught on.
It was one of those dead ends from the early years of trying to build a faster printer.

Somehow I managed to encounter, early in my career, the first CRT phototypesetter prototype (Harris-Intertype), the first electrostatic liquid printer prototype (Clevite-Brush), the Data Interface Magnetic Printer, the Teletype Inktronic (swept a beam of ink dots with deflection plates, like a CRT), and a Corning Glass display that used photochromic glass (write with UV, view in green, erase with IR).

None were successful products, although for a decade or so, electrostatic liquid printers from Versatek [2] were a thing. They used "dark juice", toner particles in a liquid suspension. A row of electrodes charged the paper, which passed over a liquid surface where the paper picked up toner particles. Then a heating station fused the toner and evaporated the liquid. Required special paper. Print quality was mediocre, but the devices were quiet and fast.

> How is it different from just eyeballing market price from looking at similar units, and renting yours out for +10-15% more?

Landlords don't always advertise, and they also negotiate rents. Knowing the actual market price isn't easy (and sometimes not possible), because that information isn't publicly available and certainly isn't real-time.

RealPage is getting private market information from landlords, and using it to coordinate rent prices, including coordinating actions to remove supply from the market to artificially increase prices. This removes competition from an otherwise competitive market. This is collusion via a middleman.
Yeah, probably not a very strong research but we don't have much of research like that yet.

But there's really no reason, in absence of research, to expect that phones will be exceptionally damaging to kids that survived just fine such technological banes as books, radio and tv. Last two not only captivating their attention for hours but borderline immobilizing them in one physical spot.

I find women often treat you like it is/does. Men too, but men care more about what women think and hoo boy do they walk differently than they talk.

I was raised to be open and honest and avoid "toxic masculinity". Turns out I started to perform better socially when I hid my feelings and thoughts and tried to emphasize visibly masculine qualities. Too bad I didn't pick up on this till I turned 30, might have enjoyed more friendships and romantic relationships.
I like this idea! Sounds more relaxing like I could passively work on it while on the train, and also see code examples that I wouldn’t normally be exposed to in my day job.

Seems like it might help me get better at code reviews too. Granted, I don’t like doing code reviews (mostly cus it’s usually pretty uninteresting code). But I do like puzzles! I’ll check it out :)

Standing Accused: A Pillar of Finance and Charity
I agree with your general sentiment, but try to understand that if you've never been married it might put you into a vastly different frame of mind from someone who has rarely eaten alone without their SO for a long time.

Thank you! You’re the first person to call me an elitist from an ivory tower.

Spam was introduced in 1937 and three years later 70% of urban Americans were eating it. Around 100 million pounds of Spam were shipped to troops during World War II. That’s according to Hormel Foods, the manufacturer.

It's a fundamental flaw in the design. Everything important communicates over a shared bus with read/write privileges. The infotainment center has a not-understandable-by-a-fucking-army amount of code in particularly unsafe languages. It's connected to that bus to provide features like tire pressure and parking brake status. The infotainment will almost certainly be pwned, and a breach in that system propagates to a breach of the rest of the car. The only reason we don't see more of it is that it's a wee bit difficult to pull off the full attack and not super easy to exploit for personal gain.
I still have one of those. I don't print enough to keep it from clogging, and often have to run two or three cleaning cycles after not using it for a few weeks. I had to refill black ink once, for a few dollars.
Dude, you had a problem way above and beyond what is being discussed here, and way above and beyond what most boys face. Sorry.

I hope you’ve been able to deal with the trauma, and if not, I sincerely hope you find some peace with the world soon. If you can get into a martial art, that’s the best suggestion I can offer. It will help you heal.

Also, you have to realize that insulting me and dismissing my experience just because you were so badly abused is another kind of bullying. Don’t fall into that trap.

Not saying what you're switching from makes the title a bit click-baity.

The current title implies that AWS (Graviton or not) is somehow cheaper than other things, when AWS is quite often one of the priciest options out there.

"Switching from AWS to AWS Graviton slashed our infrastructure bill", on the other hand, is an article worth examining.

It'd be awesome if it could open a new tab/autocomplete based on history if nothing is found when searching the current tabs. As an example, if I start searching "news" to open up hacker news, and there is no existing tab, then it could autocomplete with "news.ycombinator.com" based on my past browsing history. Chrome essentially has this when you start typing a new url, but I don't think you can click the "switch to this tab" button without using the mouse.
People want safety and space and cities didn’t provide that so those who could left.
That's simply not true, and I'm not entirely sure what would motivate someone to say such a thing. I would speculate, however, that it's a gleeful kind of trolling, a chance to say, "But it was your fault!" in the face of someone in great pain.

Consider the case where your child dies. Yet, you chose to have a child, knowing that he or she may die. So, you are also suffering from a circumstance of your choosing, no? Well, no, that is absurd. In fact, any misfortune can be similarly characterized as "of your choosing" since choice always affects the situation we experience. The logical problem is that the situation is not a function only of choice; change factors in, as do the choices of others. The ethical, or moral problem is that such a statement openly expresses contempt for those in pain, and a positive desire to increase that pain, and I think sadists like that serve no purpose on this Earth.
I think the strongest hints about what causes short sightedness in kids is that indoor lightning is not nearly as strong as necessary for correct eye development. So probably we now have LEDs we should probably address that first.
Can you elaborate? I see an ad in the News app, then click on it and make a purchase from Clash of Clans in the App Store. Apple needs to charge Clash of Clans for the conversion. How do they do it?

Apple knows that I bought the app (they charged me for it).

In order to charge Clash of Clans for the conversion, my phone needs to connect to Apple and send them a record of the ad click. What if clicking on that ad and buying the app are the only thing I ever did on the phone? There’s nothing to aggregate locally, and Apple knows they got the conversion data from me.

Perhaps the claim is that my phone is going to send all these records to Apple, and Apple is just going to do the right thing and run programs that do the business without letting any of their people look at anything they aren’t supposed to look at (they could internally accomplish this by differential privacy, rigorous internal controls, etc). That’s the same claim Google and everyone else is going to make.
Sounds just as much like what critics said about the Segway, which was supposed to revolutionize pedestrian movement, and which ... well, let's just say the critics turned out to be right.

Which is to say, I don't think you can tell much about the stickiness of a technology from what it's proponents say for or against it. History is full of well-hyped failures, and not a few overperforming fringe ideas.
So many options when all I ever wanted was 100dvh
Sure, thanks for asking!

I think it's mostly about time to market and reduced total LOC.

I find that in strongly typed languages, frequently up to 30% or more of the total lines of code are dedicated to nothing but type satisfaction.

Sometimes this formalism is warranted, depending on the problem domain (banking, air craft systems, etc) but most of the time I find that the type systems are merely mental abstractions that are created to assist the developer in modeling the solution.

There's value in that.

As I've gained more experience, trivialities like the compiler catching junior programmer level silly type mistakes has become less valuable. Type systems don't address logic errors.

The flexibility of duck typing with loose contracts reduces total time to market for applications where that's a primary constraint.

This happens to be true in a vast class of problem domains, where having something quickly is more important than performance or formal correctness.

Since I tend to live in the startup space where TTM and MVPs are critical to business success, I'm inclined towards languages that support this.

I typically don't have to deal with large team coordination issues or extremely complex interdependence, and my systems are normally fairly basic - crud with business rules and a fancy UI.

In this case, things like type errors present themselves immediately in the UI and are easy to catch during development, reducing the value of compile time error detection.
Thanks for the follow and sending an email. I have lost access to my 2006/2007 Twitter account (@ryanspahn followed you via one of my web apps Twitter) yet hoping one day I can pay to have access back.
This seems a solved problem: Make an Ask HN asking if anyone here can give the link to the story you vaguely remember. I've seen it work several times, usually very quickly. Side-benefit: You might find related stories, or help other people discover the story for the first time.
Uh... how?
Those could had been implemented loooooooong ago. In a hacky way. The dictate was to be pure and wait for GEGL. So still nothing of that. We got layer trees at least.

They could have been implemented by overloading the layer blending code, and recoded with GEGL once ready. But pure won over "we can do that too now, please do not look behind the curtain". It's really simple: adjustment is just a layer that only uses mask data and operates on the bottom layer pixels with already coded functions (levels, contrast, etc). Styles would be similar, applying plugins/scripts. If when proposed the reply is "we will not accept that kind of crude system", nobody wastes time coding a patch.

That was not the only time GIMP project went the pure road. There was also drama with themes and paintbrush system. On the end, some of the old ideas managed to get there, like grey icon theme (now hated by some, the irony) or having a working paint system (I have not tested with a tablet, so no idea if any good). Even non coders were trying to help, for example contributing brushes and testing the system [0], yet they ran out of steam after some time of hitting walls. The few people involved now seem to be the ones that have been taking over after all the previous got seriously burnt (except Kolås).

> FWIW, it appears they still have $100M in cash. In principle, they could still buy out a company with a product that actually works.

They seem to have used the scam money to pivot into deploying chemical batteries. So at least something semi-positive happened with some of the cash.
So let's say I have lots of level 2 money.

I go to various banks and trade in the level 2 for level 1.

I take my billions of level 1,and stick it in a warehouse.
Maybe one day I even set it on fire.

What does this mean? Does the fed recognizes the loss, and just print more? Have I in effect just shrunk the economy? My level 2 money is still in the system, its just the paper has vanished.

By extension, say every person loses one $10 bill every year, in an unrecoverable (by anyone) way. Presumably that's factored into the money supply?

Is changing the paper (as in the UK this year) a way of "cleaning the balance sheet" - effectively preventing some truly monster hoard from suddenly appearing?

So many questions...
It seems for years in every thread about Gimp I've seen, people are shitting on it. I don't get it. I suppose that it's from people comparing it to Photoshop? I've never been a heavy Photoshop user though, and Gimp has been perfect for all my basic non-pro-level needs over the years. I'm sure this is true for many others as well.

Just wanted to say thank you to the devs in case you are here.
I have a series of questions in various areas designed to be in increasing order of difficulty, but I don't expect them to clear them all0-they ramp up to "deep and esoteric knowledge".

When I'm explaining the process I usually preface with these being designed to gauge their skill level, not just make sure they meet some minimum floor, so there are going to be some easy questions and some that are hard and I don't necessarily expect them to answer all of them and not to get discouraged or be afraid to say they don't know. I usually just keep going until they miss a couple in a row.

If someone actually doesn't know the job, I'm only asking maybe 5-10 relatively simple questions and thanking them for their time.
