I got into functional programming by programming in Scala.. this allowed me to begin to decompose problems that I would have normally used a bunch of hacky loops using the type system and transformations like flatmap, fold, map, etc. This really becomes useful when dealing with async compositions.. which Scala has excellent support for. I'm not an 'expert' at Scala (or anything for that matter), but this also helped me greatly when moving into Rust (which also has excellent functional capabilities and is similar to Scala in that way, IMO).
No excuse for any of those things to slow down the actual typing.

And a lot of those computers did do fancy checking, and a modern CPU can do ten times the instructions per clock on top of having 6-8 cores.
In reality/right now, you'd probably use either a particle system, the boids system or just geometry nodes for something like that though, although for earlier versions of Blender your solution would probably be needed.

I like abstractions when they are transparent enough that it's easy to tell how it could be implemented one layer down.

There might be many implementation details that you hide under the abstraction, but if the interface is so abstract that I can't envision a straightforward implementation of it just based on the interface, there's probably something wrong with the abstraction.

Additionally, if the behaviour of the implementation conflicts with the simplified model communicated by the interface, that'll also cause issues.

To add some context for those not in the UK or Europe...

I am guessing the advert you are referring to is the "Get lost in great stories" one [1] run in Vue cinemas. Other UK cinemas (Picturehouse, Odeon) mention the "big screen experience" but I think the Vue one is the only one that singles out that watching on a phone / laptop / TV can lead to a negative experience.

It's certainly one of the longer "please switch off your phones" messages, at over two minutes in length.

I used to enjoy seeing the adverts and trailers before a film at the cinema, but that was when I rarely visited. Now that I'm going much more regularly (sometimes multiple times a week), the lack of variety is very obvious: when I am forced to sit through the exact same collection of four or five adverts / trailers multiple times, it gets a bit old.
I've pondered learning it but hadn't gotten around to it. Any particular resource you recommend as a starting point? Because being able to automate certain things myself sounds great, though I'm super rusty on python.
I completely agree. You are denigrating black people by implying they’re retarded and can’t get something as simple as an id card, and I am protecting voting rights by supporting a measure that will aid in increasing trust in the elections.
> I’m sort of just waiting and hoping the silly capeshit phenomenon will die out already.

Ha ha, capeshit. I confess, I can't stand super hero movies either.

Instead I've been working through the "1001 Film to See Before You Die" and it regularly reminds me what film can be (has been).

As an aside, I also remember wondering when rap music would die out. We may both be waiting a long time.

> It is difficult to predict exactly when comments on web forums will become more likely to be generated by bots. The development and use of language generation technology is advancing rapidly, and it is possible that we will see significant progress in this area in the coming years. However, it is important to remember that the use of bots to generate comments on web forums is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, many companies are already using bots to automate certain tasks and improve their efficiency, and it is likely that this trend will continue in the future.

The vast majority of people, including engineers and business leaders, are not Edisons or Telsas. Sometimes people get lucky or they have unusually well-resourced and competent teams to tackle an unusual amount of stuff at once. That's why I qualified my statement with "there's an extremely high likelihood..." Given Neuralink is facing "a federal probe and employee backlash" over shoddy practices, I highly doubt they have the unusually well-resourced and competent teams to not be overambitious.

It is even a little better than that these days. Beginning a transaction normally locks the whole database, but with Wal mode they have added a Begin Concurrent command so there can be multiple transactions going at once. However when you get to the commit it still requires the exclusive lock. I bet after a few years even that restriction will be gone.

The types of highly visible bright lights coming from black holes are not actually coming from inside the black hole. The gravitational potential of the well is so incredibly high that objects falling through it gain immense amounts of energy, thus giving of very high energy radiation, i.e. x-rays.
Interesting contrasting Fleming's work to that of Le Carré.

A lot of Le Carré's work contains the kinds of details Fleming talks about, but the plots are more complex and the pace is slower.

I also personally find that there's an emotional impact from Le Carré that's lacking in Fleming, but perhaps that's just me.

As this apparently requires some explanation: In this thought experiment of a hypothetical quantum-ontological universe, an (aware) observer would come with their very own sphere of causality, which not necessarily defines the entirety of the universe. While this may explain our apparent loneliness, it would also pose another, even more urgent question: What would happen as we expand our horizon, thus expanding our own sphere of causality into what may be already established realities that are not necessarily compatible with our own? Is everything going to collapse? Or, what forms of life will never be, just because we became aware of these parts of the universe? Is exploration even ethical? On the other hand, I enjoy the thought of a lone water bear floating into outer space and thus defining reality.
That's like saying that a bad firewall implementation leaks like a sieve. This is not what I was talking about.
> And regarding compatibility, with ipv4+ if you have a 0.0.0.0.x.x.x.x ip address you would be able to talk to both ipv4+ aware and legacy ipv4 devices natively without any tunneling (because you also own the legacy, non quad 0 ip address).

This exists:

> Addresses in this group consist of an 80-bit prefix of zeros, the next 16 bits are ones, and the remaining, least-significant 32 bits contain the IPv4 address. For example, ::ffff:192.0.2.128 represents the IPv4 address 192.0.2.128. A previous format, called "IPv4-compatible IPv6 address", was ::192.0.2.128; however, this method is deprecated.[61]

You still need to upgrade bit of networking kit between the source and destination to understand "IPv4+", and this (lack of) upgrading and enabling is what is hampering deployment.

What makes you think that companies would have been willing to make the effort to deploy "IPv4+" any more than IPv6?
> portraying her as the victim

Could you cite where? I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm simply not seeing it.

The article readily admits "Ellison told Alameda employees in a video call that she knew FTX sent customer funds to Alameda, and that her company used the money to cover its liabilities." She is called out as Alameda's "sole leader." And it ends with a "quip Ellison made" about crypto being "mostly scams and memes when you get down to it."

Sure, Ellison is portrayed sympathetically at the start. But the conclusion is damning. And nowhere do I see her cast as a victim. We don't need to embargo empathy the moment someone commits a crime.

At least brutalistic buildings have some character. I'd take living in the hollowed out bones of a concrete monstrosity over the tepid soulless constructions we are building in the post-modern age.

Some of the most fetishous ideas about building design come from AI-art. Unconstrained by economics, practicality, or code, I've been offered glimpses of architectures that could have been and in doing so have a profound impact but also a sense of loss of the could-have-been.

Architecture has almost nothing to do with it...

Hipodromo in Mexico City is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the world.

Architecturally, it's a bunch of hideously ugly buildings. But there's trees and plants everywhere, and they're beautiful, and that's all you see.

The reason everything is ugly is because we don't have trees and nature anymore - we just have roads and parking instead.

There's tons of beautiful tree-lined streets in Chicago with ridiculously ugly houses. You don't notice the mismatched, horrible architecture. You just notice the trees & the birds & the squirrels.

You don't have to be classical Paris to be beautiful. You just need plants and a neighborhood designed for people to live in - not cars to park in.
Hard to go wrong with opnSense, it's open and very powerful and configurable. I run multiple VLANs, wireguard and OpenVPN, DHCP with some static IP mappings, dynamic DNS for my on-prem services, LACP for link aggregation to my core switch, multiple ISP connections with policy based routing (it's not as good as SD-WAN here but it's the best I've found that's open). Worth checking out, at the least.
While he goes into detail on the teen study to illustrate the point, his sources at the bottom are much broader.

...but it's important to note that male/female relationships and preferences often form in the teenage years and persist for the bulk of the dating years.

So I would argue that teen studies are very reflective of the general dating population, though I agree that things have certainly changed over my aging decades.
It's bizarre to blame communism here when we've seen this as a global phenomenon. It's an issue of neoliberal thinking in general, capitalism also acts to minimizes all costs the exact same way, just drive through any American highway exit and look at the uniformity of the architecture.
> I don't see any "dash" to support v6 in our future, when the option to just keep working around issues with v4 is so much easier and cheaper in the moment.

30-40% global adoption in ~10 years may or may not be a "dash", but it's also not nothing.

"easier and cheaper" is very much not the case at larger scale. legacy ip space is only growing more expensive, & cgnat platforms are not cheap. even if a carrier HAS TO deploy cgnat, deploying ipv6 first means you don't need to buy cgnat capacity for any v6-native traffic (which is a non trivial volume)

> Really, what does anyone have to gain by switching to v6?

I think the mindset shift is when you stop dealing with single instances of anything and begin to think about their groups, relationships, constructions, data flows.. functional programming (and immutability) allows you to (eventually) write things faster.. you have to play around a lot with lists of things before it starts to click in.

That's true! But it seems like there's a new Hayes code where every single new show must have x, y, z "identities"[0] and they have to be represented in particular and empowering ways. Frequently also that the fact of their 'identity' has lent them a special advantageous approach to the situation at hand. Feels like all good ideas need to be edited by the HR department before they get on screen these days.

[0] this is, IMO, a really shallow way of understanding individuals' identities.

At least I'm not making ad hominem attacks against my own children and everyone else who choses not to reproduce themselves, like you did FIRST.

I'm merely pointing out that your own original ad hominem attacks could also apply just as well to your own children, which you don't want to admit.

And that you could drive your children to suicide with that kind of disrespectful attitude, judging your own children's lives as empty and sad, devoid of happiness, and incapable of truly experiencing love, just because they didn't deliver you grandchildren.

Are you really that homophobic and paternalistic, or do you more generally hate and demean and devalue the lives and love of everyone who doesn't breed "equally"?

So be careful, stop being so judgemental and demeaning, and try to be a better parent!

And stop complaining about ad hominem attacks, when you're the one who threw the first stone at the most number of people, possibly including your own children.

I think its a meme now to hate abstraction. In big tech I see it as a justification to build parallel systems that do almost the same thing. Abstraction done well is where technical leverage comes from. Abstraction done poorly is where technical debt/bad technology comes from. Management prefers the safe route of gating their engineers from abstraction to get the work done with certainty, the trade off being less technical leverage. Its a corporate engineering meme to pin tech workers into being replaceable cogs pumping out low abstraction widgets
During the pandemic a few movies that were supposed to be in theaters launched as expensive paid streams (mostly Disney, but also stuff like Bill and Ted).

I gladly paid for every one of them.

My wife and I used to go to the movies every weekend, sometimes twice, before we had kids. After we had kids we went to theater maybe three times. I was perfectly happy to pay $30 to watch a movie in my house, where I can watch it after I put the kids to bed but don't have to hire a sitter, can pause if I need to pee, can rewind, turn on subtitles, or watch it again.

The only advantages the theaters provide is a bigger screen, louder speakers, and the psychological effect of knowing that I will be watching a movie for two hours and doing nothing else (which I can replicate at home after everyone is asleep if I want to). And participation in the cultural zeitgeist.

I used to love going to see movies in a theater, and will still do it occasionally (we watched Top Gun 2 in a theater, but we brought the kids because it's cheaper than a sitter!), but I much prefer to watch at home.
This is right, but the national guard are often used as well. I alluded to these points in a comment below before noticing that you posted this first.

I would caveat it to say they are used to break illegal strikes, which I think is an important distinction. Their job is to uphold the law, regardless of the side that labor is aligned.
> barebones OS

Android is the opposite of barebones. It comes loaded with crap, much of it is using "stop the world" garbage collection while also producing lots of garbage. Building on Java is Android's original sin. You could still build an NDK app, talk to OpenGL, and hit 60Hz on low-end devices, years ago, but that's not how most stuff is developed. There are layers upon layers of crap between applications and the hardware, to the point where apparently people have come to believe that you need special OS interfaces to do smooth animation.
RLM guys (at least the main ones) seem great at pointing out when a movie sucks, mostly because of:

- poor structure. Bad setup/payoffs, useless sequences, confusing narrative without any merit behind it

- poor pacing. Too much "brain-off" action, shitty dialog, too fast/slow for the theme

- uninteresting characters, with no redeeming characteristics (e.g. a great actor or enough plot quality to compensate)

These in decreasing order of importance for them -

They will certainly critize other things (plain scenes, bad framing, technical flaws, bad lighting, etc.) but I don't think I've ever seen them give a purely negative review based only on these.

If any of those three criteria above are met, though, (and god forbid all three) they will absolutely pile on a terrible rating with complaints on how the scenes are ugly and general filmmaking is lazy.

Oh, and also, they'll point out most editing errors, seeing as they are editors too.

And insert pointless Star Trek references no matter what, of course
Yes, but dealing with low-level stuff in Rust is going to be easier than doing that in C. See for example the blog post by Asahi Lina talking about how it was easier to program the M1 GPU driver in Rust than it would have been in C.
Switzerland is rich because it's a hub for international trade and finance, and therefore has an "effective market" that is much larger than their actual population. Same was true of England in its heyday. If you cut off international trade and finance Switerland's economy would be a tiny fraction of what it is today.

It's strangely difficult to get intelligent people to understand the basic concept of more people -> bigger economy. Intelligent people a lot of times think that if the logic for something is too obvious and simple it must be false, because if it was true, their favorite intellectual / institution would be saying it.

That's why a lot of times, lower status people actually have more accurate perception of politics than higher status people, because all they have is common sense and their wits, and not some status driven perspective on "the truth", because by definition lower class people aren't winning status games so all they are left with is the truth.
Ask HN: How do you get over charging for a product?
I'm currently working on a project that I'd like to charge money for (a Substack newsletter for a particular niche). I'm struggling, however, to wrap my brain around charging money, and paywalling posts or parts of posts.

While I have experience using a Patreon for more voluntary donations, I feel like I'm kind of jumping into the deep end of the pool. Paywalling articles, or parts of articles, is now interrupting peoples' "full experience" in order to prompt them to pay to continue.

This means there's a risk no one will subscribe, and I'll have a somewhat worse product for that. However, I would like to earn income from the project, and I would like to avoid the awkwardness of enabling it later (in case the newsletter is successful); I think the latter would be more of an annoyance to people already invested than having subscriptions enabled from the start.

I was curious about HN's perspective, mostly because I imagine there's a lot of devs here that have gone from free projects/products to ones that either are trial-based, subscription-based, or one-time purchases.

How did you get over that awkwardness towards "being ballsy enough to ask to be paid"?

Notes:

It's worth mentioning that I've freelanced before, so getting paid for my writing is not something I'm new to. It's more asking people to "invest in me" as a publication.

I am likely going to have paywalls come down after a week, or a time period of my choosing, which would keep the article from being "incomplete to everybody, forever."
