I'm surprised that no one talked about Thread going out of business. Thread.com was once selected by Y Combinator as one of the 20 most promising startups. They raised £2 million on crowdfunding platform Crowdcube in 2018. It had the goal to provide a personalised shopping service by combining AI with a personal styling service. This week Kieran & Ben announced that they sold their AI, data and developers to M&S and the rest went into administration. The website says that if you placed the order, you should do a Chargeback through credit card. Is AI not ready for the fashion industry? Did you use Thread? If yes, what was your experience?

Feynman diagrams are a representation of an integral so moving beyond them is a question of reformulating the mathematical basis of physics.

There is some work in that direction (look up 'Amplituhedron') but overall it's not that surprising that physicists are using computers to do the same math with much more precision than they could before rather than shaking up the fundamental mathematical tools of their field which have stood since the 1600s.
Yes I really second Anki, when you're learning it's much better to create your own flash cards for the new words you encounter than having an app throw you random vocabulary words.
Interesting take, the article describes ENV variables and their inherent untyped danger when you depend on them, but doesn't really describe an alternative solution for them.

A good solution I've just seen is to validate the environment variables using a schema like [1] zod. Which will guarantee that the ENV variables are the exact type that you expect when the program starts, or it will throw an error.

an excellent project!

The golden standard for film scanning is still this badboy: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282841082109 It was designed to be the very best. the marble slab comes from the same mine as Michelangelo's David (or so I was told).

Its so thick to provide both heat and inertial damping, so that when the linear scanner moves, it doesn't cause wobble.

The film gate is designed to be repeatable, supposedly you can rescan film and any VFX that you have overlaid will still line up. I never tested that.

the one thing I can't see with the kinograph is how the registration of the film gate is done. it looks like its friction only, rather than pressure plate. A good pressure plate make sure that the film is as flat as its going to be, making the optical scan much clearer. This means that in theory you can lower the light needed and have a lower f-number
It depends on how the coloring is done. If the background is white, the words are black and the :: are gray, the :: won't stand out.
Almost everything I print is color, usually things like signs, decorations, letters with photos, etc.

If I printed documents regularly I suppose I'd probably want a laser, but it's not a very common thing for me, maybe twice a year, generally 1 or 2 pages at most.
Jikes is the one I'm most familiar with and people working on its runtime absolutely suffered from UB and memory corruption issues... obviously not throughout the whole standard library but that's not the case for other JVMs either. In fact the Jikes people found it nicer to work in Rust than in Java on components like the garbage collector, because it was a better fit for working safely with this kind of code and they didn't have to write in a restricted subset of the language to avoid triggering the GC.
Or why were they? What percentage number is to be considered a success here? I don't have the faintest idea.

When will mithril.js get the hype it deserves, I'm a sucker for simple tiny libraries with no dependencies and no build steps that are mature as well (6 years). I guess it doesn't have a flashy community with talks and developer advocates :/. I feel the same about htmx, another simple tiny library with no deps and no build steps. Why don't people recognize the advantage in that.
In NYC there are certain days at certain hours when garbage in black trash bags can be left at specific spots on the sidewalk/streets by the residential building supers.

There are rules to this, if garbage was left on the sidewalk everyday at all hours of the day then every block would have would lined up with garbage on the street.
The interesting thing that I have found happening is that I just don't listen to music/podcasts on my iPhone much anymore. I don't at all when I am out anymore, and I only do at home when I can have it on speaker. I guess Bluetooth'd to my car once in a while. That's about it. I wonder if/assume that the profits from Air Pods bought by everyone else makes up for the loss in music purchase from people like me? I dunno...
The mechanics of public shaming don't seem appropriate to me for someone who is known to be literally mentally ill. Suspending him quietly would be better in my view in this circumstance. His life is already a public circus freakshow exhibit, but there's no reason to exacerbate that.

I'm one of those people who still write in C, and I like the experience. I've had a lot of fun, and haven't been burned by it, although statistically it's likely that I will be at some point.

I've tried a lot of languages in the past, and am currently not willing to dive into a whole new ecosystem, re-learn all the best practices, and unlearn what's worked very well for me with sometimes no good replacement. Best practice for Rust seems to be to avoid linked lists for example. I don't know what's the safe replacement for memset and memcpy to anonymous data structures (void pointers -- generic code) but I have a sense that it is more painful. The general recommendations seem to be to switch to different, more complicated datastructures with more failure modes, or to put boxes and Arcs around things.

I don't think this fits me - I like the feeling of understanding what I'm doing, and once in a while coming up with something that compiles and runs fast and robustly. If you can do that in Rust, good for you.

Another part is that it still seems easier to interface with existing ecosystems in C. I tried writing some Win32 Rust code once in an evening and I have to admit I failed. Maybe I picked the wrong bindings library or whatever. At this point in my life, I have little patience to spend my time like this.

I appreciate the work that is being done, and I feel it's not unlikely that at some point we all will switch. At this point though I feel I'm way more productive staying in my current habitat. And that's not only on me, but also that the ecosystem and developed practices likely are not quite ready for a complete switch.

Comparing the investment to simply washing hands and putting on gloves or following a checklist as a surgeon feels unfair to me.
Yes, that's his point of view but he's a bit alone on that. It probably works if you're not using Japanese at all while learning the Kanji, but if you do need to use Japanese (i.e. freshly arrived in Japan) it doesn't really make sense to spend 1 year on kanji before learning the language.

For most people kanji is better learned with vocabulary.

You definitely need to learn hiragana first, and not use romaji at all, but that can be done in 2 weeks.

It should be O(n log n) comparisons and technically O(n (log n)^2) moves. The moves are reduced by a relatively large constant however, and blitsort might qualify as O(n log n) moves when given sqrt(n) aux.

In your Youtube presentation you do seem to skip mentioning that many of the performance innovations in glidesort were derived from quadsort and fluxsort. Some credit in your upcoming paper would be much appreciated. Feel free to email me if you have any questions, some things like my first publication of a "branchless" binary search in Aug 2014 may be hard to find, though there might be prior claim.

~4.5 times faster than std::stable_sort for uniform random integers is pretty impressive. Is this primarily from increasing the memory regions from 2 to 4 for parity merges / partitions? I'm benching on somewhat dated hardware and had mixed results (including slowdowns), so I never went further down that rabbit hole.
I’ve worked in payments for 10 years I know what I’m saying, imprecise wording was just rounding for the audience.

I’m very clear that faster wires is not what I want, and neither is debit, although that’s fine too.

To be clear I agree with basically everything else you’ve said in this thread.

I mean, the class component thing was mostly syntactic, for what it's worth, once I figured out that was the only way. Drudgery, but not a real threat of failure.
No I don't have evidence - however logical deduction shows that the probability of this happening is high. Any system involving humans is fallible, so it would be naïve to think that it doesn't happen.

Or put another way: if I was the NSA or MI5 this is exactly how I would attack the problem of traffic interception or targeted black ops. Get a puppet CA via hook or crook.

Totally agree that "there are other criminals who have gotten away with much more" is not an argument; I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment? I'm certainly not suggesting that. If anything I suggest that such systems are pretty much broken by design (at least if you care about state actors / extremely well funded actors).

What is pornography, exactly?

Ok, maybe spam can be defined more or less formally (but you will struggle to define "advertisement", I'm afraid, so, maybe spam has same problem).

But "pornography" is big can of worms. Each culture and each person have its own definition, and global platforms are, errr, global.

As result we can not post classical art to Facebook because these horrible woman nipples, you now. Pornography.
Eu country: where i am we sort our stuff. Rotate leaving it out every three weeks on a tuesday glass, paper, plastic, and every two weeks 'regular' rubbish gets put in an RFID'd large bin.

The bucketed glass, boxed paper, and plastic in a sack (one hundred each of which cost nothing ie €0.00, we just sign for them at the town hall, or - rather conveniently - a local bar) having been put out on a Monday evening are gone by 0800. These removals all cost about €180pa.

The larger bi-weekly bins are generally emptied by 1000, and we are billed by weight. As a single resident i get a hell of a discount on the total year, but i have to use the bin min 4 times a year.
I often end up borrowing rubbish from my neighbours, just to keep my numbers up.

We also have a local dump for when house cleaning, much stuff, electronics, poisons etc. That's included in the $180 and can be used whenever open, as often as you like and you can stil take plastic, glass and paper there.

All i 'miss' is a large-item collection service, that may exist - I've just never asked, as I've never needed it.

When the system was introduced, about 15 years ago, people were upset that the big dumpsters were taken away and cats etc would rip open the bags, and the rubbish in the street would be unsightly.

I really don't think anyone in the whole city would go back to the dumpster ways (though there are dumpsters strategically around - several many for where tourists are (regularly emptied smaller bins are gathered together).
Love coming to HN and learning from the in-depth research of others on topics like these.

How important do you think the external fan is? (versus just placing it next to the modest airflow of a HEPA filter, as a sibling commenter suggested)
Also radix is a pretty special case because it assumes you want to sort by some relatively uninteresting criteria (be honest, how often are you sorting things by a number and only a number?). What happens in the real world is that the size of fields you want to sort on tends to grow in log n. If you had half a billion John Smiths using your service you’d use some other identifier that is unique, and unique values grow in length faster than logn.

I’m glad other people are having this conversation now and not just me.
Dumb questions from a programmer who is weak at math.

1) Is there a theoretical minimum assymptotic speed for sorting?

2) Some of these newer sorts seem to have arbitrary parameters in them (e.g. do X if size of set is smaller than Y). Are we likely to see more and more complex rule sets like that lead to increased sorting speeds?

It has not. Elm just has relatively slow release schedule with the last release being three years ago and some people don't like that.

Also the developer has requested that forks are not be called Elm to avoid confusion which some people consider "hostile against forks". There are some projects that have forked Elm.

My partner went to Makersquare (since bought & rebranded Hack Reactor).

They joined a successful small e-commerce site (Javascript), then a few years later joined Loon (Google X) (Python), and sensing the wind switched to another Google X project before Loon shut down.

They're doing pretty well, if I say so myself.

> believe Visa would argue that stripe is laundering money through cryptocurrencies to get around high risk payment processing

> It would do so under the guise of preventing terrorism, child exploitation, and money laundering.

It doesn't really care about these things all that much.

I don't think this would realistically happen. But I doubt visa would be pleased about being a crypto on ramp.

Most "high risk" credit card businesses (read: porn) are high risk due to charge-backs. Something Something about telling your wife you didn't actually pay for that...

If you use crypto to buy porn... no chargebacks to the business, so the business isn't risky.

The big risk becomes stolen credit cards, where StolenCC->Crypto becomes a perfect avenue to steal from Stripe/CC Company. You move the crypto, then let the CC owner charge-back stripe or the CC company for the funds. The thief gets to keep the crypto, the victim gets their money back, but the big corps have to eat the cost.

That last bit (who loses) is why this project might die. Visa isn't really focusing on catching terrorism or whatever, they're trying to avoid chargebacks due to fraudulent behavior.

I read you. Their analogy only "matters" if it closely aligns with the Coinbase situation. It makes no sense to say the comment "is true and matters" if it doesn't work by the same logic ("important differences"). You could say it's "true" that Apple wouldn't tolerate the proposed scheme, but it doesn't matter if no one actually does that. With the failure of the analogy one of "true" and "matters" will be wrong.

I'm not saying it's the same (like you said, Svelte isn't at 1.0) but don't you feel like there's at least a little irony in saying the post stinks of justifying someone just wanting to try out something different when you're currently chucking a Vue 2 app for React?

Reading your post it doesn't sound like you're fully onboard with that jump anyway? (Maybe I'm reading too far with this though).

If you are trying to learn Japanese I highly recommend the Youtube Channel:

It explains the actual structure of the language in a way I've not seen anywhere else. The creator passed away last year but the content is still incredible and useful.
Not PP but in my opinion there is a big difference between how the law addresses speech that makes people interested in a different government and speech that promotes extreme ideologies.

For example, if you look at countries like Russia, China, Iran, Myanmar, etc... what's illegal or repressed is any promotion of opposition to the government. This is plainly anti-democratic & authoritarian.

Whereas in a lot of Europe it is illegal to promote only extreme ideologies but apart from that the democratic discourse is as messy and varied as you'd expect it to be. (And due to variety of electoral systems I'd argue that political discourse in much of Europe is mush more varied than in places like the US.) We have countries swinging from left to right wing governments and even powerful political parties that started as far right wing or terrorist groups.

What we all see is how the balance can be tipped from fragile democracy to repressive authoritarianism e.g. Hungary.

Democracy is a constant effort, requiring constant vigilance. These are all discussions worth having, at least in good faith.
System-Call Advent(2)-02: Clone a Chimera
In addition to tax-dodging, or selling off-the-books, there is one other, small legitimate reason for a vendor, to avoid card payments:

Most banks/payment processors would charge a fixed amount per small transaction. Amount varies a fair bit, but as an order of magnitute, say - €0.15 or something like that. This means customer that bought cup of coffee for €1.50 and insists on paying with a card, will cost vendor whooping 10% extra (it is not allowed for vendor to pass on card transaction cost to customer).

For a larger purchase, €30, €60, and more - transaction charge is negligible, naturally.
SvelteKit isn't Svelte's UI framework. SvelteKit is a full web framework for serving Svelte apps. It's essentially Sapper + Svelte in a more harmonious combination.

I have no opinions about any of these libraries and frameworks for business applications.
What if there are no well written ones? No competitor to move to? I for one haven't seen a single React app that wasn't annoyingly slow, under the standards we're discussing here.

If that's the case then React is a huge problem.

I've seen lots of apps that nail 60fps that are written in React though, so I don't think it is the case.
I understand your point more fully now, and agree that my second reply was somewhat orthogonal to it.

Crypto is a huge risk minimizer for buying illicit goods. Unless you make the punishment for purchasing cryptocurrencies severe (on par with buying/possession of the goods in question) you won't remove the motivation for using them as an intermediate means of exchange. If you do make the punishment sufficiently severe, you'll be sending people to jail for the exchange of the equivalent of digitally encrypted beanie babies. Have you thought through the implications of that? For whom is that solution easy?

Cryptocurrencies are a second-order desirable in the same way that meeting in private, instead of public, is. Would you support criminalizing private meetings and encrypted communications to the same end?
While I haven't used every laptop out there, the Macbook track pad is the only one that I have used that has not made my fingertip skin hurt after a short time of use.

I know this is a little weird, and I have never talked to another person with this problem, but all of the cheap plastic ones, strangely textured ones, smooth-yet-somehow-massively-friction ones all make my skin hurt. The Apple one doesn't for whatever reason.

I think I had a Gateway laptop a long time ago that also didn't heat my fingers to temperatures comparable to the surface of the sun or cause me pain to use. Like a really long time ago.

I go to the local store and try out track pads every so often (like once per year maybe?), and they are all just shit. That's enough to keep me buying Macbooks for now.

Like I said, this is a weird issue that I have never known anyone else to have, but it is a pretty critical one for me.

Also, I just want to point out, that I only mean the materials of the track pad itself, not the drivers or anything. I have no complaints about e.g. Linux track pad drivers. I put Fedora on my wife's Surface Pro 8, and the track pad drivers there are fine, for example.
I think the sweet spot is a $600 lenovo (or other brand). They have a reasonably good screen, 16GB of RAM, a good gfx card (gtx3050), if you need one.
I find it really difficult to fork out an additional $1500 for something marginally better (and in certain ways more limiting).
