One of the faq things refers in passing to integers being 64bit instead of arbitrary precision. That's a bit more fundamental than some cpython modules don't work. Haven't found a language reference yet.

edit: it's statically typed ahead of time - that feels like something that needs a detailed description of what it's doing, given the baseline of like-python
Madoff was also a big political donor [1]. Most politicians (credibly) claimed they were unaware of his shenanigans and returned his money.

Probably exactly what's going to happen here.

I can’t get really past the guy’s attitude. From the get go he’s mocking the work from the marketing to materials, and he’s not doing it in a fun way. Just plain denigrating.

I thought you linked to B1M or something.
Anecdotally there is a sizable portion of customers that want to ask a question without reading much or doing anything or worse having to call or fill out a form, so the prompt and connecting to a person on chat is very effective and quickly gets them to next steps / answers.

It comes down to implementation and the gripe about nagging is fair, but the utility of the thing is still valid and like another commenter mentioned it's a great thing that's happened to customer service.
I'm having a similar experience to you. I've tested almost all pre-made configs (that differ in maybe, 2 plugins and different keybinds) and my experience wasn't been so good.

I like the visuals, i like being able to work in the terminal, i like how slim it is. But debugging, or anything that closely resembles anything other than opening a text file and typing text, usually boils down hacking a bunch of plugins together.

My biggest problem has been the debugging part, i want all my attention in my code while i'm debugging, and i can't even seem to get started in getting DAP to work. I have hacked some random plugins together that resemble an UI, but it's still very simple, and doesn't work out of the box.

In the end, i'm trying really hard, setting up random plugins, reading docs and etc, just to have CLOSE to what VS Code can offer me, and nowhere close what Jetbrains does (the DB tools alone make it worth it)

I also don't like VSCode, mind you. I don't like the approach of using extensions as building blocks, generally because they depend on random people (that are almost always really competent) for maintaining, and who cares if they stop working? No one to blame.

I will probably resort to using Jetbrains IntelliJ and the IdeaVim plugin, which did work fine on my last testing.
> Of those people that die, over 80% of them are not wearing a life jacket or Personal Flotation Device (PFD).

Making this statement in such a context borders on statistical misconduct, because it ignores base rates: Consider whether you'd find a statement that ">90% of injured car passengers were not wearing helmets" as a valid argument for helmet-wearing. This is presented as an argument for PFD-wearing.
I've read that, however, I do sometimes see submissions with text that also have links in the text.

> The amount of comments in here who think that SBF is going to walk away scott free is unbelievable. I guess it goes to show how low trust is in the legal system.

It's more that it reinforces the priors of the people making the accusation. People can "celebrate" the potential non-prosecution since it sits as evidence for the corruption of the government folks want to believe is there.

And the test will be when Bankman-Fried ultimately is prosecuted, none of these folks will celebrate the actual event as evidence of justice being done. It will be "too late", or "too little", or there will be another whataboutist argument about something that should be happening instead or in addition. (Edit: or more likely and horrifyingly circular, by removing agency from the government and claiming credit: "He was only prosecuted because The People demanded it!").
Both his parents are/were professors at Stanford Law School, so that’s a fair guess.
Except FTX is already a collective label, SBF is not.

Using SBF as a collective is a confusing and incorrect. If you want to use it as part of a collective label, you could use "SBF & co.", "SBF et al" or similar conventions for creating a collective label from a singular one.
> and SBF has few friends and doesn't have any money

He wasn't able to "sneakily" siphon a few billion off to the side for himself?

Recap of AWS Re:Invent 2022: An Honest Review of Announcements
I think this was actually a really thought-provoking question, when it was asked a few months ago, but now I'm wondering whether the guesses given have already been proven wrong by ChatGPT, or at least whether people would give guesses today that are very different from those given pre-ChatGPT.
It kind of reminds me of the story of Clare Torry, who did the vocals on Pink Floyd's The Great Gig In The Sky[1], and received the standard £30 flat fee for session work. Of course the song ended up being a critical piece of an album that went on to be one of the best selling albums in the history of music. Sometimes, we make a big contribution to something and don't end up with a big payoff. It's sad that business shrewdness and negotiating skills tend to have a higher ROI than actual subject matter talent.

Torry ended up suing and they settled out of court, so I guess that's a win.
Hey HN! I'm Robert, and I'm one of the authors.

With my friend Miłosz, we've been working on a way for experienced developers to grasp Go quickly. After long evenings and weekends, we're ready to share our idea that we think is unique.

Many Go courses cover lots of details irrelevant to most developers. The difficulty level is chosen for developers with all levels of experience. Often, they consist of videos, which makes them long. Or they make you write code in the browser. We believe that it’s not the most optimal way of learning. We decided to approach this topic differently.

While learning and teaching new technologies, we found that implementing real-life projects incrementally is the best way to learn. We decided to recreate this method of learning, but in a more structured and automated way.
We created a Go training for experienced developers, containing the most relevant knowledge. It quickly makes you comfortable writing Go code.

The training is made of 80 exercises based on real-life projects and examples. You write all the code in your local editor or IDE. Our CLI provides the boilerplate code for the exercise and fast feedback about your solution.

The first four modules are free after registration. The entire training is free for students (please check the FAQ[1] for details).
We are not aware of any similar training out there. It would be great to hear your feedback!

Bad title. Twitter is not avoiding Apple fees. The fee is still there
> It reminds me of going to a clothing store and before I’m able to get inside an employee asks me if I need help finding anything.

I hate that as much as live chats on websites and it makes me want to leave the store.

The worst is when retail employees are paid on commission, then you will get harassed endlessly by different employees asking you if you need assistance when all you're trying to do is look at a damned rubber spatula (I'm looking at you Williams Sonoma!) I go out of my way to avoid shopping at those types of places. I want to get in and get out with as little disruption as possible.
Unfortunately I came up dry on the security keys. It’s possible they haven’t published docs on them yet since this is still all pre-release.
What do you mean by "gaslighting" there?

I understand "gaslighting" as "manipulating someone so as to make them question their own reality."

Is that what you mean, or something else?
In that respect it's more about ML/SML from the 1970-80s.

Even putting null-safety aside, the latter part of the post with destructuring tuples and pattern-matching shapes looks almost 1:1 like SML code!

He collected American VC money, which means wire fraud, etc. BUT his book keeping was so shitty he didn't even know it was fraud and thus lacks mens rea
Warped? I can understand the desire for such a framing, but I think that is unhelpful, partly because nobody likes being told their ideology is warped, and partly because all ideologies are misaligned — it's not like anyone really has a perfect idea of what a well-aligned ideology even looks like, though we can all see the failures after they happen, rather we just tell ourselves that we do know and it's «insert your own preference here» that is The One True Way.

Laissez-faire capitalism basically died as hard in the Great Depression as Soviet-style socialism did with the fall of the Iron Curtain, but while capitalism as a whole shifted in response to that, and the actual (non-conspiracy-theory) version of the WEF's Great Reset is an attempt to replace neoliberalism, communism… well, based on conversations I still have with an ex who self-identifies as anarcho-Communist (Marxist?), communism is still busy convinced that class-consciousness is only one election/strike action from taking over the world like it's 1866 and the aristocracy is still a big deal.
You're right, you have the freedom to choose a device with less freedom. And that's fine. I'm not trying to be condescending to people who prefer convenience. It's a reasonable preference to have. I don't see how this disproves my point though.

I will admit, Macs are much better in the software realm, but the hardware has almost no internal upgradeability. There's some, but it's less. That's my point. And yes, many non-Apple computers also have that same problem. My gripe isn't with Apple. It's with companies who don't give maximal freedom with their devices, as I prefer more open systems, personally.

You're describing the same thing - you will keep a friend or two from your old jobs, but it's not a whole social group.
Much of his financial support was to Democrats in primaries -- so it was literally spent against democrats as much as it was in support of them. Over 1/4 of his 2022 giving was to a single candidate in Oregon (Carrick Flynn) who was running against a well-liked Democrat incumbent (Andrea Salinas). Flynn lost, SBF spent nearly $1,000/vote in that primary, and basically garnered zero 'power' from that spending. If anything he antagonized the actual power brokers by diverting their resources to support a candidate that otherwise would have won without intervention.
Yeah. I actually feel fine and don't have many sleep disorder symptoms, but I occasionally wake up gasping, and people who share a room with me have noticed more of them that I was unaware of.

I had a sleep study done. They noticed a few apnea incidents, but not enough to warrant a diagnosis of sleep apnea.

Don't get a CPAP without a diagnosis. Anything you can buy without a doctor's approval is going to be potentially dangerous. And the symptoms of apnea can also indicate a lot of other things; don't cover them up by trying to treat them yourself.

The diagnosis will require a sleep study. It wasn't a ton of fun (wired up to an EKG and had to get help disconnecting it in order to pee), but I now have tons of data about what my sleep actually does. Not that it means much to me directly, but the professionals did a good job interpreting it.

I think one thing that is being lost is the idea of discomfort, or contrast. Think about how good it feels to go for a cool swim on a hot day. Or perhaps a warm shower after time in the brisk cold air? The satisfaction comes as a result of the discomfort. One follows the other.

I've long been a proponent for the idea of taking your hobbies outside of the digital world to something physical. So many programmers have Gaming, Twitch or more programming as hobbies. I think there's a rut that comes with distancing yourself from the physical world and I've long since believed the lacking element is "failure". To lose at a game is often just a state. You retry until you win, nothing is lost, perhaps time? Much of programming is similar, there's no risk to the failure of a buggy program. You debug and try again. But something physical has consequences. Using tools to build a cabinet shows you every shortcoming and every failure along the way. The result is not always perfect, but if it was something you poured heart and soul into it is loved despite the flaws.

Without the discomfort of failure. Of risk. Of stepping outside the comfort zone the reward is lessened. I've seen what I talk about summed up as urging people to "Create something, even if it is an experience for others" and I think that rings true to me most.

EDIT: I know others may poke holes in some of this. You can create things with programs. You can share experiences digitally. There's risk and loss in both, and that's true to an extent, but I'm a programmer first, perhaps a writer (ranter?) second so it's just difficult to articulate what the differences are. There's something physical missing from our lives when we center ourselves digitally and I think it's healthy to recognize that we're physical creatures still and need that "real" attachment to the world.
Yes, null safety is a very simple change to type systems and type checkers.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of cultural momentum in this regard.

People believe (rightly!) that law follows power. I think the Epstein trial and general incuriosity about who among the rich and powerful had committed great crimes led many to this realization. It’s not supposed to be true in a society with rule of law but it does appear to be at least somewhat true in our society.

People notice the kid-gloves treatment he’s been getting in the media (and from congress!!). And people assume that power is not against him, and so people are pessimistic.

I don’t think any of this is unreasonable, although it is incompatible with many beliefs that people often hold dear.
Well, Microsoft's legal team obviously came to the conclusion that the emails and payment were at least sufficient to grant Mojang a license to the artist's work. So there's that. They could have been wrong, sure. But absent further legal judgement, I'm willing to side with the decision reached by the team of lawyers over random Internet commenters.
All the more reason why politicians won't throw him a lifeline. They gain nothing at this point by defending or supporting him.

It's not entirely the same, but we saw this with the Elizabeth Holmes case. The powerful people that supported her early on became her biggest detractors when the shit hit the fan. Their reputation was tarnished by association. They severed all support and publicly decried her as a fraud. We're already seeing the same [1] with SBF.

I agree this is really sad and I also hope everyone affected finds a new opportunity quickly. CI is a commodity so it's hard for CircleCI to sustain as a stand-alone business. I found DroneCI to be simplest and fastest CI tool I have used. In fact just recently Harness published some bold claims of being 4x faster than leading CI vendors(https://harness.io/blog/fastest-ci-tool). I have been using it myself and it's faster. The benefit of having CI, CD, Security testing and governance features makes it a compelling platform offering similar to GitHub & Gitlab.

ChatGPT-Generated 65-Page Tutorial of a Fake Programming Language
The main page and the description is in a strange meme format, that creates a strawman Web2 Databases (cringe) and then argues that Web3 (but what is it?) is better without any concrete arguments. Is Web3 (or is it web3?) just a new way of saying web-scale, but now with blockchain?

Edit: I feel like we need somebody like Coffeezilla to unwind the web3 mystery in a digestible format for the rest of the tech world.
I highly doubt that. What else are we going to feed the animals for meat? If we cut back on meat, we would likely see an increase in soy demand. The subsidies might have created the demand, but now that we are in this lifestyle removing the subsidies will not reverse it fully.

To the Japanese, languages such as English are legalistic and rudely direct and specific. Japanese tends to be ambiguous and the Japanese tend to not directly say what they mean, since that would be rude and exclude the listener. Translating Japanese to English usually requires creatively interpreting the meaning of the kanji characters and the intent of the writer. Teasing out the meaning of some complicated kanji can be difficult, so it seems pretty common to just make something up that sounds reasonable. I've worked on translations that were over 60% completely made up.
Not a lawyer, but I'll piggyback to say that the inevitable indictment will likely require proving criminal intent, specifically that SBF knowingly and willingly engaged in fraud. The Justice Department won't indict SFB until they have ironclad evidence demonstrating as much.

Consider a rushed indictment: SBF can always invoke his right for a speedy trial (i.e., the prosecutors must be ready for trial within 6 months of indictment). The prosecution would thus be in the ineviable position of simultaneously gathering evidence and building the case. Alternatively, they could wait to indict until after they've gathered evidence, which will give them ample time to meticulously build a case against him.

Since the harm of losing the case is greater than the harm of letting him roam free for a couple years, a delayed indictment seems like the clearly better option.
To be fair, some people make tattoos with all kinds of silly things, the bar is pretty low. One can argue that whatever the ending text was, someone would make a tattoo with it eventually.
I got mine 18 months ago this month. I'm still not sure what happened but a week prior to noticing it, I got the Covid vaccine (J&J), and I was also going through a very stressful period of my life. Either of those two things could have been the culprit.

Here are a few tips I learned to cope with it better:

- trust you will get over it. This part is the hardest at the beginning because we can't imagine our life without silence. We grieve for a loss, and we lost silence.

- stay away from the tinnitus forums. They can be very informative but are full of very negative people that will trigger your symptoms. You only see the people that first posted but never returned to inform they are feeling better. You will only read about the most terrifying period after the first symptom, but not about the impressive ability of our brains to adapt to new stimuli.

- all the tips I read here are valid and I tried them myself. I sticked with exercise the most which definitely helped, probably more with my stress levels and anxiety than with the tinnitus, but through controlling my mind I can manage it better.

- I have not yet reached the point where I don't notice it. I know it's still there but my brain now knows it's not a menace anymore and doesn't trigger my fight or flight response. You will reach this point too.

- I suffer from anxiety too, which at the beginning made everything worse. Tinnitus forced me to learn to control my mind better and ironically I can now control my anxiety better as well.

I wrote a post with more detail about my experience here [1]. Also, feel free to reach out if you have more private questions. My DMs on Twitter are open.

We've seen enough examples of X to maintain confidence in Y. You need a lot more than a single ~X to significantly impact that assessment.
Thanks for the comment. I do not believe many see technology as a tool and have very unhealthy relationships with them. It is what inspired me to write a book about my own unhealthy relationship with it.

Reflecting on my own experiences, I believe picking the bad parts might suggest unhealthy relationships with these tools, which can be improved if one has the awareness and strength to do so.

I get what you mean, but I think you've formulated this incorrectly. Let P(Y) be your prior about government corruption. Let X be the event that SBF is arrested. You want to compute P(Y|X) using the Bayesian update formula and then set P(Y) = P(Y|X). That is what is meant by re-evaluating your priors.

You're modelling X and Y as propositions and you're correct about the inference of ~X and ~Y, but Bayesian updating is about degree of belief in those propositions, which your inference is not a claim about.
