''According to information from Johns Hopkins Medicine in the United States, stiff-person syndrome is a very rare condition that most often affects patients in the lower back, abdominal and leg areas, which can affect a person's gait and balance, leaving them susceptible to falls.''

> For example, I want to be sure my local devices uses my local NTP server. With IPv4 it's trivial, I just add an option to the DHCP server. With IPv6 I can't do that with RA, I have to use DHCPv6. But Android doesn't support DHCPv6, so I have to run both RA and DHCPv6, and hope it just works out.

Out of curiosity, why does this require DHCPv6? Cant you just point your local devices to ntp.homedomain (or whatever the DNS name of the local NTP server is)?
I personally believe if tesla could cut the corner of a safety driver they would. I'd believe it 5 years ago and I'd believe it today.

If it turns out that there was a human driver of that car I think it'd count as fraud but I mean all you have is a video of a demo. Where is the fraud there?
I would have thought a few strain gauges, maybe some logic to filter false positives (if that's a risk) and a light would do a reasonable job.

Coffeezilla actually crashed his call a third time and managed to get him to accidentally admit to fraud. I imagine that call might even be used in the court case as evidence when it happens
A lesson for anyone making indie games, you're either an owner or not. If you want to say "I made the game" you need to be an owner. Any other relationship puts that at risk. "Super important contractor, critical to the game's creation" is quickly lost in the shuffle.
No, this belief goes way back, like pre-WW2.

My father would tell a story explaining why one foot was scarred and ticklish that involved the neighborhood kids pissing on his bleeding foot after stepping on a broken bottle while playing soccer barefoot in the plaza back home in Italy. All the kids knew to piss on the wound to sterilize it. He was born in '42.
Yes, that "wall of text" is a real problem, especially by those who don't realize that "everyone is in a hurry" almost all the time. I solve it by first adding a top-level "executive summary" with all the critical information, followed by a "Details" section with nicely formatted lists with fully-dressed sentences.

And definitely check out the book "Style: Towards Clarity and Grace" by Joseph Williams and Gregory Colomb (there are several editions of this; but any earlier edition would do; I have the 10th edition). I wrote a bit more about it here[1] in the past.

They really shouldn't have to do much support. You can do self-hosted a number of ways: ship a VM, ship a container, ship a static binary, ship some automation (ansible/terraform/etc). It doesn't matter where it's run or how after that point, because it's a commodity building block. It's up to the customer to figure out how to set it up.

But once it's running, troubleshooting it is the same everywhere. Can you perform network operation X? Y? Z? Is the process doing A? Is the VM in state B? Is the VM's OS up to date and on version C/D/E? It's all just basic networking and basic Linux systems administration.

Other vendors do the same thing. If you know what you're doing, self-hosted should be a small, well-understood feature of your overall offering. The fact that they're going full-cloud is more likely a factor of just not having a strong engineering organization, and seeing more money coming from their cloud offering from small players that don't do self-hosted. Later on they will want the whale money and go back to self-hosted, or they'll get their lunch eaten by the other players in this market.
Everything is probabalistic. That would reduce the odds by reducing the number of powerful people putting pressure on prosecutors. But plenty of rich and powerful non-US people have influence in the US.

And stealing from the rich isn't the only factor at play here. Even if all of the money was returned to everyone, there are plenty of rich/powerful people and institutions who dislike crypto for various legit and corrupt reasons, so there would still be some pressure to prosecute.

IMO he's fucked, even aside from the stealing from the rich angle. It's just too high profile and too embarrassing to too many regulatory agencies. He's well into "make an example of" territory.
Ok apples to apples, Ken Lay was 3 years post-Enron-bankruptcy.
I wonder if the same type of alienation appeared in late Soviet Russia or Mao's (or even current day) China? That was also people having the humanity ground out of them by a faceless technocratic machine not really a happy community of people helping each other.

The problem might be less "capitalism" and more the rise of large highly specialized bureaucratic nation states.
In a way, speaking publicly like nothing's wrong somewhat normalizes the impression that everything was above the board. Perception can certainly shape public expectations. Might be his angle/strategy

Of course, anybody that digs even a second beyond the headlines realizes it was blatant fraud
Yes, for FFI jextract can also auto-generate helper classes, so some C struct named tb_cell with a field named ch typed int, you could access its fields like tb_cell.ch$get(memorySegment) and tb_cell.ch$set(memorySegment, value).

Of course you are not required to do FFI, you may want to use this API to speed up some very memory-sensitive operation. Then you can define your own memory layout, specifying precisely endianness, alignment, padding, anything, and access it comfortably through these APIs.
How did Mojang fuck up?

Their gave their "friend", a completely inexperienced unknown writer, 20.000 for a poem. This "friend" took the money, spent it but refused to sign the contract on some bogus pseudo spiritual objection. Later he became more and more upset that notch and team made a ton of money.

To me this sounds like jealousy and greed.
You're right that they're not the same.

However, watch the video or read the book. Reality is not the same as the concept.
So has trade. Piracy isn't a blockade.
> Don’t think his claims would stand up at all of lawyers were involved.

Absolutely 100% would stand up. If the US and UK have one thing it's strong copyright protections that favor the copyright holder. You can't accidentally transfer owner of your copyright with an off-handed remark and this is well established. If I commission an artist for a work the artist retains the copyright unless it's explicitly transferred to me or if the artists is my employee -- contractor isn't enough.

> his poem could be removed

That wouldn't stop it in general. It comes down to the specific license terms. Copyright deals with performances and his work has already been performed millions of times. That can't be undone. Pirating a movie, watching it, and then deleting your copy doesn't make it not copyright infringement. If the contract said only for use in Minecraft then any merchandise or Minecraft: Bedrock. Worse, licenses aren't by default transferable. If I give your band a license to play a song I wrote and you leave to join another band it doesn't follow you unless it was explicitly stated in the contract. So if Microsoft did something with the licensed work that wasn't under its legal subsidiary Mojang that might also be a problem.

I'm not saying any of this happened but hopefully it's enough to demonstrate that "obviously a judge would rule that a reasonable person would have assumed the work came with copyright assignment" is very unlikely doubly because the fact that they asked him for assignment later means they knew.
> It's not like the laws of physics depend on what college teaches them, right? The content of just about any course is going to be more or less the same. A lot of the books were the same as well, comparing notes with friends who didn't get in.

To restate your claim (correct me if I'm wrong): Because the laws of physics are constant, there is only small limited possible variability in the difficulty, knowledge transferred, and comprehension needed to take a physics class between that at an elite university vs. any other university.

The facts: Only 19% of American highschoolers take calculus. This already precludes 80% of students from taking the standard physics classes at my university.

Advanced classical mech. classes for first-years can go much beyond that, delving into lagrangian and hamiltonian formulations, fictitious forces, difficulty relativity problems, etc.

If you are claiming half of your year at high school would have been fine taking a course like this, you went to a very unusual high school in my opinion.

> but what about people who worked on the JRE?

On an unrelated note, these guys are awesome, whoever they are
It is possible to have:

* A contract (a piece of software) hosted on the network
* This contract is immutable (its code cannot be changed)
* This contract defines rules such as allowing deposits, withdrawals, and trades, and those functions of withdrawing deposits or enacting trades require transactions signed by the depositor

In that scenario, it is a deposit, is controlled (and thus owned, both legally and cryptographically) by the users.

In real life, these contracts are generally mutable, so there is the possibility that users can still get fucked over.
It was BAU to process all withdrawals from a single source of funds!

FTX had risk officers, they had a legal team. Whoever signed off on this, including SBF, needs to be prosecuted.
Regarding AngularDart, see:

https://medium.com/dartlang/angulardart-flutter-and-the-web-...

TL;DR - It's still heavily used inside of Google, but the team decided to stop maintaining the open source version of it. It was a fair bit of work to do both - different build rules, different tests / test infra, different priorities. Effectively, AngularDart has been forked. There is an internal-only version that is actively developed, and there is an external community project.

Regarding Flutter on the Web, there is a lot of active work, but I'm not the best to speak to all of it. On the Dart side, it's one of the major reasons we're investing in things like compilation to Wasm.
He's definitely getting prosecuted. It just takes DoJ a long time to build cases, especially financial cases, because the burden of being able to convince a jury that something intentionally malevolent happened as opposed to simply incompetent.

To Molly White's point, SBF is essentially walking around shouting "I was incompetent! Very very incompetent!" In an attempt to make that, as opposed to his clear fraud, the narrative.

It would cause major issues to libraries for mathematics (such as sympy or sagemath) that assume integers are arbitrary precision. Large integers are common in number theory and cryptography, where people also care very much about performance.

Oh yes. The Sevier River is known to "recycle" water in this way. The water gets used multiple times (not just twice).
I'd even question whether a function whose job it is to "find" something should be able to return a Nullable value - or at least, it shouldn't be possible to just force such a value to be treated as an actual value (as is allowed by Swift/Kotlin/C# etc with "force unwrap" type operators). I'd rather see a language with built in support for functions that can either return one type or another, whereby the caller must provide two code paths to deal with each. And yes this would imply you could never simply call such a function and store its return value in a variable.
Epstein went to jail...

Been following him ever since he collabed with SomeOrdinaryGamers on a deep dive of influencer crypto promotions, and how every one of them in full knowledge promoted scams. He's been at this for a while, and I hope that the stuff he turned up will be enough to build a case against SBF.
A lot of people here are saying he was paid “for a poem”, as if it’s a fungible piece of text and not a meaningful part of the experience providing meta-narrative closure to the game.

For anyone buying one of the posters, t-shirts, totes, etc. with the text of the poem or a part of it, it means a lot.

“May the force be with you” could have been anything else, and Star Wars wouldn’t be anything less than it is… yet, it’s an invaluable bit of writing!

FP is like a power saw tool you can use to cut wood or cut your fingers.

null pointer is more like a safety belt silencer. Convenient, especially when you don't want to be bothered or listen to the warning "beep". But there's no actual healthy benefit from using it.

That said, languages not providing a first class fast fixed precision/rational/decimal implementation for where precision is required, and this having been relegated to niche libs, is indeed a mistake.
Yes, it's an honest question. I know the percentage is very high, or at least, I'm expecting it to be. Would it remain so once the dust settles? That should have been the main question, with the first question being more of an intro, to set a number.
> I'm guessing he's spoken to lawyers, and what he says is a result of some locked in strategy

I mean he very publicly fired his top-flight law firm and disparaged the advice of lawyers generally very early on in the “keep talking” strategy, so, yes, he has spoken to lawyers...

But while he now has new counsel, I don’t think there is much evidence other than belief that “people notorious for publicly dismissing risk as a valid consideration before having massive fraud empires collapse around their head are not the kind of people to act recklessly and imprudently” supporting the idea that his behavior is part of a carefully planned strategy.

Show HN: Async alternative to Multer and Formidable (Node.js file upload lib)
Pechkin (the library) was born out of a personal dissatisfaction with Multer: a project at my previous job had complex file upload functionality with fields and lots of files mixed together, and to perform even the most basic validation on the fields, we had to wait until Multer processes & saves all the files, to get access to the req.body. Needless to say, that was painfully slow.

As I was trying to rewrite the file upload functionality in Busboy, I realized how events aren't a good mental model for `multipart/form-data` requests, and async iterators were (IMO) much more suitable for the task.

And so, this library was born.

API TL;DR:

- No temporary files are created, files are not loaded in memory.
- No need to provide storage engines, file handlers, event listeners, etc.
- The main (and only) function returns a Promise that resolves when all fields are parsed, and the first file is encountered (or the request ended).
- The promise contains a populated `fields` object, and a `files` `AsyncIterator/AsyncIterable`.
- Asynchronously iterate over the files using the `for-await-of` loop or using the `next()` method.

I'd appreciate for any critique and feedback on the API & the documentation :)
We've got a sit inside Riot kayak and an inflatable one which is easier to transport but no fun paddling, drying and repacking. The sit inside is 19 kilos but you just tie it on top of your car (or put it in the back of your pickup) drive to a water body, take it off, throw it in the water and you're done. Plus paddling the sit inside is a fun, relaxing activity. And it's fast, has a lower profile and it isn't pushed by wind as much. I've also used a sit on top but they're heavier, less stable, a bit more sluggish (at least the 10 ft), you get splashed a lot. A folder? Dunno, seems rather unsafe. My rotomolded polypropilene kayak is almost indestructible compared to that. I would never paddle such a thing without a PFD.
I’m aware that he publicly donated to Democratic PACs. I was just trying to illustrate that there’s considerable precedent for someone being strategic about which donations they think will be unpopular with their friends, customers, employees, etc.

Given that he basically ran a money laundering machine this is extremely plausible - the amounts which various people reportedly embezzled would be plenty to fund a ton of PAC spending and it’ll take forensic accountants years to figure out whether that happened.
> What else are we going to be able to accomplish if CPUs get twice as fast?

I think we are leaving the era of "twice as fast" and entering the era of "half the power" meaning half the heat and twice the battery life. Wearables will continue to gain in popularity as they become more convenient. AR will be made possible by powerful, low watt SOCs.
I'm surprised that no one is commenting on macros. For me, that is the most exciting feature! It'll make writing code so much more enjoyable and avoid all of the code generation happening at the moment.

But this "SBF hasn't been arrested in the first 20 minutes so Democrats are corrupt" line is one I've seen as a talking point all over the US right. But it never comes with any perspective.

So much "news discourse" today comes from people who have lost their minds to partisan politics. With every news item, the only question they ask is "how does this prove that my side is 100% right and very unfairly treated".

It's not even the partisanship that is annoying about this, it's the straining for a connection. A lot of things don't have a meaningful connection to partisan politics, and trying to force it constantly leads to a lot of uninteresting noise.

It's as if there were millions of people constantly trying to relate everything happening in the world to Weird Al Yankovic. Except that would at least be funny.

Mathilde went from recruitment to growing her own product
My dislike for Dart comes from being an early adopter and getting burned by it.

One of their headline libraries, angular dart, pushed out a broken release that stayed broken for nearly a year.

Dart was revived with flutter and I'm glad it's doing better. However, I have trust issues with the way google runs their projects. I simply don't know if they'll continue to support Dart/Flutter or if they'll drop it next year for something shiny.

I also don't appreciate the gaslighting that happened on the dart forums. There was a lot of "Oh, dart isn't dead, we are using it heavily and actively in google!" that happened when dart was very clearly abandoned by google. They pulled the exact same stunt with GWT before replacing it with J2CL.
