Yet another test harness written in Raku language and originally inspired by the work started on "Pheix pre-RC2" talk: https://gitlab.com/pheix-research/talks/-/tree/main/pre-RC2.

Generally Trove is based on idea the wrapper over the unit tests. But with out-of-the-box Gitlab/Github CI integration, Coveralls support, extended logging and test-dependable options.

"Test anything" concept allows you to use Trove to tests a various kinds of applications and systems, but obviously it's mostly for Raku and Perl devs. Anyway it's also used for my C-driven apps, so no limits. Out-of-the-box Coveralls integration is one of the most valuable features.

Any feedback, objections, likes and reposts are highly appreciated!

We haven't seen any meaningful increase in real earnings in the last 50 years, despite massive increases in productivity. In America, go to any city and you'll see a massive number of homeless people, those individuals have not magically captured any of the productivity gains of the 21st century, in fact they're probably unemployed because the low skill job that would've existed now has been automated.

Trickle down economics is such a farcical scam made by those who benefit from it, it makes me unironically proud of my country's propaganda machine that people are drinking the neoliberal gospel so hard, it'll make the next few decades a lot funnier.

How? HOW?
Is this a general thing? I thought it was specific to my former employer (F5). We used go/(foo) extensively and there was numerous hotlinks for all sorts of internal services as well as a pretty interesting interface to design your own. I had thought it was an internal service developed internally. It looks like our internal version was a lot better than this open source version, at least by the screenshots.

Including winning 2021 and 2020! I'd guess that exclusively using a new programming language that you recently invented is actually an impediment to speed, though apparently not a significant enough one.
I think we're just at the tip of the iceberg in terms of what software is, so it's a bit premature to say where it went wrong. The author says that "Software is not creative." This may be true, but software is a creation. And currently it is created in the most crude and rudimentary way possible.

There are a lot of creative people out there. Writing software today is too hard. It takes too much knowledge and too much work. If writing a game was as easy as creating a TikTok video, imagine how much creativity would exist within the realm of software.
I wonder if they achieved a high Q value decades ago, but using the targets more inline with the bomb materials.
Presumably these computer models are mostly useful for creating new designs (since the old designs were proven by real tests). Would such new designs be convincing enough to the adversary to fulfill its role as a strategic deterrence?

When (in XX years?) almost all US nukes are only simulated on computers and not actually tested, the Russians may start wondering if the US aresnal actually works, no? That would be a horrible outcome, since it means the Russians would be taking somewhat greater risks in their decision-making. Wouldn't far outweigh any opertaional or financial benefits the newer designs offer?

I suppose one could argue that if the loss of confidence in strategic weapons matched the actual loss in reliability, it might be a "no op" (although even this is arguable). But if the Russians think the US simulations suck, while the US is actually building really good simulations, the loss of confidence would be greater than the actual loss in reliability. In the extreme case, the nukes work great, but everyone thinks they are scrap metal.

Of course, the same happens in reverse: if the Russians are upgrading their weapons to untested designs, the US may start underestimating the risk.

Ask HN: Projects which earn primarily from ad revenue, how much is hosting cost?
Projects (apps/websites) that have their main revenue stream from advertisements, should require quite heavy traffic to earn from ads as per ad view payout is very less. But huge traffic incurs huge bandwidth and there comes the hosting or server costs? How many of you break even? How do people manage the initial server costs when the traffic is low?

One interview by Photopea founder I remember: He says that his website is static and all computation is done in the users machine. Only a set of javascript files and html css are loaded once the website is opened. He earned in 100,000s per year, when yearly server costs were negligible because he was hosting a static website. Despite huge traffic, the hosting company didn't charge him much. Why is it so? Is this the case with anybody else?

If you have any case study to share, personal or not, you can share it in the comments! Basically I want to learn on what factor costs depend and in what way. I am a noob at this!

> This whole idea of reparations for things done by previous generations is absurd. Where do you draw the line - 1900? 1800? 1700?

I’m interested where you draw the line in the other direction. 1900? 1950? 1980?

In 1980, most people alive today had not yet been born. Suppose a country took out a loan in 1980 and have made minimum payments since then. Can a young new leader of that country validly refuse to pay the remainder of the debt because they shouldn’t owe anything for a previous generation’s actions?

Suppose a country confiscated land from some people in the 1950s, and those people fled the country. In 2022 is it too late to demand the land back?

Suppose that two nations declared a treaty of alliance in 1900. In 2022, one of the nations is attacked. Can the other party to the treaty claim that they are not bound to any agreement made by their long-dead ancestors?

At this point, it's not even about "money" in the traditional sense (wealth, prestige, etc.); rather, it's about stability, the alleged "American dream". I live in Chicago, so I'll consider the local national laboratory, Argonne. They pay their software engineers $101,888 per year, according to Glassdoor ($71,640 after state and federal tax). Using the 28% rule most lenders use nowadays, with today's rates, that's a maximum mortgage payment of $1,671 at 7%. However, the median house price in DuPage County is $335,000 [1], and a 30-year mortgage (with 10% down) has a monthly payment of just over $2,000. No dice - even for a highly skilled professional living in one of the most affordable parts of the country. Keep in mind that you still need to pay 2.3% per annum property tax, besides owning a car and saving for retirement. It's just not nearly as feasible a path towards financial stability as taking a $"TECH" job with west coast pay.

That is not accurate. The 4% withdrawal rate is based on the Trinity Study[1], which showed that it was unlikely to exhaust retirement funds over a 30 year retirement. It already includes compounding and draw down calculations.

5% interest hasn’t been avail from a bank in a couple of decades, and the fact that we’re close to it again doesn’t mean it will stay that way…

You just can’t get a guaranteed risk-free return of that range indefinitely, which is why a lot of people shoot for 3-4% when they don’t have more capital to invest in riskier but higher return investments.

Software engineers are some of the highest quality engineers there are. Objectively by a simple metric: lives ended through incompetence. Software engineers lead. No other engineering discipline comes close.
You are correct that in a Teller-Ulam design most of the energy can come from fusion, but as a note it's generally a fission-fusion-fission design in "modern" deployments with about 50% of the energy coming from fusion.

Only very large bombs, such as the Tsar Bomba (97% from fusion) ever where primarily fusion, and those are not in modern arsenals.

This isn't quite right. The key thing is that Pony uses the actor model, where an "actor" is an object, a green thread, and an MPSC queue, all bundled together into a single conceptual unit. These MPSC queues are the only synchronization primitive; there aren't mutexes (which means that Pony programs can't internally deadlock, though they can livelock). For this reason, for any given reference (pointer) to a piece of data, you can have any two of mutation, aliasing, and concurrency (i.e., sending the reference to another actor's queue, which doesn't count as mutating the actor). But you can't have all three, because that would allow data races.

Consequently, three "reference capabilities" fall out of this design:

- "iso": allows mutation and concurrency, but not aliasing.

- "val": allows aliasing and concurrency, but not mutation.

- "ref": allows mutation and aliasing, but not concurrency.

The other three are more for generic kinds of programming or to facilitate more complicated tricks:

- "box": only allows aliasing, without mutation or concurrency. Subtype of both val and ref.

- "trn": allows mutation and aliasing, but the aliases are box and so don't themselves allow mutation. Also, you can subsequently change it to either ref or val, to get either mutable aliasing or concurrency (but not both).

- "tag": allows aliasing and concurrency, but not mutation, and (unlike any of the others) also doesn't allow reading the data. The only things you can do are pointer comparisons, and sending something to the referent's queue if the referent is an actor (again, this doesn't count as mutating the actor). Subtype of all the other ones; they all allow tag aliases even if they don't otherwise allow aliasing.

You are right, I don't want to remain ignorant. Educate us about the sudras and untouchables.

Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras are the four Hindu castes. These castes or groupings are called varnas. Whatever caste or varna a baby is born into will be his or her varna for life. Marriages for young people are arranged within one's caste. Each caste has its codes of conduct and unique lifestyles. For example, upper caste members receive better education. For centuries lower caste members were forbidden to even acquire books. Sudras' work never allows them to gain financial independence or accumulate wealth. All wealth in Indian society is reserved for the top three castes.

Below the four varnas is a fifth group called Achuta, known as Untouchables.

I don't sit on Dow's board and have zero say in whether they decide poisoning the environment where I live is a good idea or not. We are not afforded democracy like owners and board members are.

The government is the one institution in most people's lives that they have a real say in, and probably the only one that affords them democracy. I doubt any of us sit on Apple's board.

The problem is that the Apple and Google duopoly is stifling choice and competition such that we can't realistically walk away from those companies. Market forces haven't solved this issue, and this is where antitrust legislation kicks in.

Bankruptcy law allows for the clawback of preferential transfers. Any transfers within 90 days of bankruptcy are assumed to be preferential. Or transfers for a longer time to insiders.
