Off the top of my head, no access modifiers (so private variables, for example, are prefixed with `_`, by convention, not enforced by the compiler), no pattern matching (and obviously no exhaustive matching), no record types, no sum types, no json (de)serialization (requires 3rd party libary code gen, wow), mutability everywhere, everything is a statement (i.e. no implicit `return`, AKA everything is an expression), required semi-colons (which they'd like to get rid of but can't due to questionable design decisions made long ago -- for the gory details see here[1]).

If you like Java 8 and earlier you'll probably feel at home with Dart.

Obviously I'm biased, but I find Dart to be one of the most unpleasant languages I've had the misfortune of being exposed to; this despite Flutter and its instantaneous hot code reloading being quite amazing -- a bizarre mix of promise and despair.

The available work of all oil that the US uses is around 300GW on average once it is refined and run through an ICE. EV motors do significantly less work than a typical ICE because they are more aerodynamic and have regen.

With negligible chemical or hydro storage (or even fossil fuel backup at insignificant usage) for the 4 days a year where demand spikes, all you need to do is make it so most EVs are available to charge most of the time to spread the load.

This can be achieved either by an extension cord, or if that is really too difficult for you to imagine, by taking a few days worth of EV battery (about 10-30%) and separating it from the car (either at point of charge, at the owner's house or on grid) most of the time so it can be charged whenever. Exclusively fast charging and peaking with nuclear is the stupidest possible way of achieving this. Please do share your simulation so it can become apparent what other unfounded assumptions you've made.

You've also just attempted to move the goal posts with your "prediction". Peak capacity isn't generation. Markets shift, and much more than just transport will be electrified. There will be several net terawatts of renewables dedicated to US energy needs in the coming decades, but it has nothing to do with your logic.

Finally appealing to authority using an ambiguous and off handed comment of a serial liar whose quantified predictions are consistently wrong is evidence against your case, not for it.

I view the null check stuff as being more of an example of the compilers/even kernel Devs not bothering to try and properly express their desires i.e. in this case the check is has wording in the standard covering it, so it should be very explicitly desired to remain in the binary (volatility or similar, although there are limits to what you can ergonomically express in C)

Similarly strict aliasing can change the behaviour of code but if you're genuinely relying on that your code is probably bad - either in the standards view, or in my view in that you can write the same code in a manner that won't cause any mischief (i.e. there are standard-friendly ways to do ugly pointer crap even if they mean memcpying pointers - which will then be eliminated by the optimizer)
Wouldn't want them to talk about Operation Gladio or something https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio
It's definitely not dead; there are some amazing projects being hacked on right now.

But I do think it's valid to say that hacker culture is increasingly under-represented on Hacker News, which has, over time, become more and more populated by corporate coders rather than hackers. There's still good hacker content but the hacker ethos of being hostile to the monopolistic power of (big) corporations and fiercely protective of rights such as Free Speech is suppressed (such as by the heavy flagging campaign we have just seen against this particular story).

I don't mean to dump on HN admin with this comment; I think they have fought against this cultural drift but it's always hard to maintain a vibrant, independent-thinking thoughtspace in one place. Inevitably it ossifies and/or moves on to a new space.

(And I'm aware of the "don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit" line in the Guidelines but I don't think that's what I'm doing here.)
Yes, it shows on the dash and in the monthly reports.
1. Not sure what you mean by significant delta-v. An 8km/s vehicle meeting a 6km/s warhead coming from the opposite direction will kill it just as surely as a 10km/s one. If you mean delta-v to go laterally, for that 1km/s is probably more than enough. A vehicle with 1km/s delta-v is, in the worst case scenario, twice as heavy than one with 100m/s delta-v, not 100 times as heavy.

2. 9 minutes is plenty. A ballistic missile takes about 30 min to go from one continent to another. The difference between 4 min and 9 min is not a make or break thing.

3. Everything has a price. If a single GBI booster costs north of $50 mil, then you can afford to spend a few tens of millions to keep fully fueled Starships on the launchpad, 24/7/365. From time to time you'd have to empty them, and move them an give them a thorough inspection. It can be done.

4. (bonus) If things get tense, a Starship could also carry a few hundred MIRVs. China thinks it can sprint forward in the arms race at a certain point. They'll find out it's not going to be that easy.
The default is to torture animals by the millions mercilessly to save $0.30 or so per animal life in order to provide a slightly cheaper snack at a better margin to people who are, on average, overweight.

So torturing some monkeys to dramatically improve the lives of potentially millions of disabled people should be well within most people's moral comfort zone.
Probably a known thing for those already working with wasm but I had to install the rust nightly compiler and add the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target to get this demo to work.

> There’s an argument to made that papers like the FT print these these pages not because they are useful but because doing so is a signal of the publications’ identities as serious financial papers.

If I were reading this paper and these pages subconsciously signaled something to me, I doubt it would be “serious financial paper”. More likely it would be “run by clueless dinosaurs”.
1) you asked for a forecast of where I thought wages would go. The $130k mark is not what I predicted it would remain at.

2) already addressed this once, but that is $130k in total compensation. I don’t have enough information to fully gauge their fringe benefits, but it’s not uncommon for them to total as much as 50% of total compensation. Additionally, rail engineers are often on call 24/7. So is, say, $75k in salary luxurious given no sick days, 24/7 on call, physically demanding job, and lots of travel, for what the country is saying is a critical role? It doesn’t seem so to me. That’s in todays dollars that will be eroded in the future if the companies have their druthers. It doesn’t seem like the great deal you’re painting it as when ignoring the total picture.

3) again, the land easements are to the company, not the employee. So it doesn’t follow that you want to tax the employee for a right given to the employer. It’s such odd logic that it comes across as a trolling effort

Not sure I agree about the 4G/5G comment. I got an unlimited 4g/5g hotspot through Calyx Institute that uses the TMobile network ( https://calyxinstitute.org/membership/internet ). I now also have Starlink. The Starlink service is faster and lower latency. I have noticed Starlink getting slower over the past couple months but it is still quite fast. In my experience the downside to Starlink is that several times a week it drops out completely for 10-20 seconds. I thought I was going to have issues with the trees near the location of my antenna but the app shows almost 0 obstruction in the FOV Starlink cares about. It was surprising to me how far north the antenna wants to point. I was picturing it pointing south like a dish would for a geo satellite but Starlink aren't geo.
I've also been a customer of two different local wireless point-to-point ISP. One worked great when it wasn't foggy and when the trees didn't have leaves - so only about 1/4 of the year. The other had 800ms pings and also went down frequently. Starlink has been game changing.
I’m not saying that this is the only factor but most places do need redundancy and the cost of providing it is non-trivial. There’s still plenty of margin but you need a fair amount of storage to balance out the staff time you’d need to run that service on bare servers.

It does not seem like this really exposed any new information - Twitter publicly justified its actions as being about its hacked data policy back when this all happened (https://www.nationalreview.com/news/twitter-cites-hacked-mat...). All this shows is some internal disagreement as to whether that was the right call. By the way, Facebook also suppressed the news story citing its misinformation policy (https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/oct/15/look-behind-n...).

It was already widely criticized at the time(https://variety.com/2022/digital/news/twitter-files-blocked-...):
" Twitter subsequently reversed the decision, saying that it had updated its hacked-materials policy and would not retroactively apply it to the New York Post. Other news outlets, including the New York Times, have since reported that the laptop did in fact belong to Hunter Biden and the documents on it were authentic. Predictably, Twitter’s blocking of the Post became a rallying point for Republican politicians accusing the social network of censoring conservative viewpoints. "

So... doesn't seem like a big deal, this is just confirming what was already known?

The government is not supposed to be censoring people's speech, however they are effectively doing just that using a layer of indirection.
Twitter's now owned by Elon, who is making friends with right wing reactionaries in public.

All tech companies at the very least are pro-capitalist, it's often a choice of whether they're outwardly more pro-market or more technocratic, which has nothing to do with political lefts and rights.

That's flat out false. He clearly claimed in the thread there was clear evidenceof political motivation. For one, he cited the political donations are heavily slanted. Secondly, he mentioned the mass confusion that reigned as they tried to fit it into the hacked material case, even though it was clearly was not. It was a NY Post story about a lost/abandoned laptop. Read the thread.

A lone company acting on its own to suppress a story may not be surprising to you, but collaboration between government and a corporation to suppress speech definitely should be. It's where fascism begins.
You might not consider it a competitor but plenty of places do. My point was simply that it’s a separate class of product which is often bundled which makes market share numbers harder to compare.

When the government speaks of defcon levels, they don't speak of going "defcon X on somebody". This template is borrowed from expression like "going medieval on your ass", which is clearly not about preparing for defense. What would it mean to prepare for defense on somebody?

When you combine that with him using "death con" instead of "defcon" and the tenor of his comments both before and since (posting a swastika?) it is a little hard to imagine he meant he was preparing to defend himself from an attack rather than going on attack. "I'm a little sleepy, but after I wake up I'm going to prepare for an attach By JEWISH PEOPLE." Is this seriously what you think he was saying?

Twitter publicly attempted to justify

I think at this point we can agree that a public agreement on whether or not they were actually justified is impossible to obtain. Viewing the discussions around their internal justifications is interesting at the very least.
The part where they removed tweets because they were asked to or banned accounts because they were asked to is a pretty big deal. And even though everyone knew they did that it wasn't in writing. It's kind of like the Snowden leaks, everyone who thought about the issues involved had a basic idea of what was going on but until it was out in the open people could just deny it.
You mentioned outcomes four times so you're probably doing okay. That was notably lacking in Jam's blog post.
Party officials were directly emailing twitter executives, the executives specifically mentioned the "Biden Team", Ro Khanna wasn't necessarily against censoring the story she was upset that Twitter shut down the Trump admin's press secretary account for dm'ing the NY Post Story and that Republicans on the Hill were rightfully so making a big deal out of that.

Blatant, let me repeat in caps, BLATANT partisan censoring was happening at Twitter going so far as election interfering which is illegal in the US.

More than one smoking gun here and yes this is a huge story. I doubt we'll hear much out of it on CNN/NBC/CBS/ABC oligopolists.

At least it is not as disruptive like Twitter and only hurt itself.

Biden team asking Twitter to "handle" tweets they don't like.
This rubs me the wrong way, nobody in government should be telling Twitter to remove speech.
The story is in how anxious they were to fit it into a hacked material case. Because there was no other existing mechanism in which to do it. (They claimed it in the emails Taibbi referenced.) They admit it was not tenable, because first amendment issues were specifically raised by Rep. Mo Khanna.
I didn’t read details about their apology, what makes you say that?
I don't think Americans are particularly likely to think politics is one dimensional. Each of our two parties is composed of multiple subgroups whose ideals and interests don't match - they regularly have disputes among each other, and it's less common but far from unheard of for an interest group to migrate between parties. What we call a "party" just mixes in components of what a European-style system would call the "governing majority".

i assume by relevant context, you mean i should have added some text to the question, or in a comment? i have a tough time keeping track of HN rules.

anyways...

i saw a really cool-looking military truck online (which i'm guessing has a very interesting backstory), and it made me think a lot of them just look like ass.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novator_(light_armoured_vehicl...

so my next thought was the cybertruck, which also looks like ass, imo, but at least it looks intimidating and threatening and deadly and like a terror machine, generally, so i thought, well... what about that glass-breaking demo incident? why was it important to have shatter-proof glass. or maybe bullet-proof glass?

then i thought, oh, well, yeah, sure, it's marketed to consumers a bit, but is that the _real_ intended market?

it's like consumer saas vs business saas. there's no money in consumer saas -- business saas is where it's at.

so, if i'm musk, and i can sell a few thousand monster terror SUVs in the neighborhood - fine - but what if i could sell a few tens or hundreds of thousands of them to the US and other militaries of the world for a 10-100x price? pretty soon you're talking real money.

given that US society is still growing more unequal, and the militarizing of police forces is continuing partially as a result of that inequality, maybe the actual target for the cybertruck has always been the US military and police forces?

it seems obvious to me now, but i think someone smarter would have recognized it when the SUV was initially announced.

but maybe i'm wrong? thus this 'Ask HN'.
Colo and even office/home hosting can be surprisingly affordable for non-critical workloads.

Most concerning thing here is that this proves political parties (including the white house[0]) have a direct line to Twitter[1] to get stuff they dislike removed. One would have to assume that there was also a direct line to other social medial platforms. It's so wild to have the slimy-ness of our American political system be revealed in yet another way. So in America you cannot say negative things about political leaders online?!?!

Since this is true, then where else are political parties trying to get unflattering speech suppressed that we don't even know of yet?
