This is the best simplified description of email and the email system I've read.

It's simple to understand and fully comprehensive—with the exception of RFCs of course (but often they aren't easy to understand).

A highly recommended read/reference whether you're an email neophyte or one who builds email clients or server software.
the good old days of Duke Nukem 3D and Quake World. trying all kinds of network connection with (hopefully working) db25 printer cables, modems, telnet connections, ethernets, no documentation available, only guessing here and there and some intuition to make a lan to work. 3 hours to make shit to work and 24h playing non stop.

I doubt kids these days would have the same perseverance to make fortnite to work lol

edit: kids downvoted me because of the fortnite anecdote
One of the reason we started to work on my own startup was to provide a credible alternative to Burpsuite as Zap was not evolving in that direction. If we had funding in the amount this letter wants per year it would easy to build it open source and free, but where do they think this money will come from? This is not like the Linux foundation which produces something businesses can use to produce massive amount of money on top. This is competing with commercial products in the space and potentially reducing their revenue.
Very good novel, but very different. Don Delillo has a very unique writing style. His novels reflect some very keen insights into contemporary life.
I think drewcoo's point was that "having a conscience" and "having consciousness" are not the same thing. They were pointing out that the wrong word was used with a joke.
Was hoping for a comparison to Talon. Talon is incredible. I’m particularly interested to see if any project spawns focused around augmenting the keyboard as opposed to replacing it in a programming context.
ArcGIS is used in a lot of life critical applications including law enforcement, emergency services and national defense, even for less serious applications such as land management I’m not sure that adding LSD mode is ever appropriate for these use cases.
For being a crowd that I imagine would often classify itself as intellectual, HN can be surprisingly intolerant of writing with any degree of flair or (non-technical) complexity.
>It's not found in any sort of basic law and is incredibly uncommon in the kind of parliamentary supremacist unitary state

I'm admittedly not an expert in comparative law, but I can think of several states with parliamentary supremacy and supreme/constitutional courts with the power to veto laws.
If your supreme court is issuing diktats to executive agencies they are extremely part of the government. I don't know of any state where "the government" writ large doesn't assert absolute power; we are discussing the components and functioning of said government.

I mean seriously what else?
> I'll be digging into your code.

My apologies in advance, then! (Ha.) The "main" function is at the very bottom of src/joule.janet. So I'd recommend starting there.

As for debugging, Janet embraces REPL-driven development, so the debugging experience is all about setting up, interactively querying, and step-wise updating your program's state, live in memory, using the REPL. It's quite a bit different from a lot of languages—not better, intrinsically, just different. But I like it a lot.

Is your Nim editor public anywhere? I've heard a lot of good things about Nim and wouldn't mind exploring a real-world example.
Code is a liability. Founder or not I write as few tests as I feel necessary for things I don't trust in my code.

I generally write as little code as possible overall, and try to sell it as fast as possible.

I hate source code, it never ever is the result for me. So if i do not have to write code than I get to not write tests.

My goal is always to write as little code as absolutely possible. That's it
I'm interested in the topic of what distinguishes a conspiracy theorist from a skeptic, which is what the comment I replied to brought up.

That is this prompt:

> Why is anyone who challenges incomplete information labeled as a conspiracy theorist?
Tldr:
Accounting violations are widespread: in an average year, 41% of companies misrepresent their financial reports, even when we ignore simple clerical errors. Fortunately, securities fraud is less pervasive. In an average year, 10% of all large public corporations commit (alleged) securities fraud...
How did we possibly get to a point where we've let people 'oversee' work that they themselves can't grok, much less do themselves? It's insanity.
IMO the demise of modern journalism presents an absolutely enormous opportunity for the few people with the right skills: If this is even close to true (66% of corp fraud undetected) imagine if you could get even a couple researchers to detect more of it using publicly available information. Set up a massive short position on that company and fire off press releases on a slow Newsday to share what you found with the public. I actually knew some professional researchers and talked to them about this once. I'm too lazy to actually put it together but pretty sure it's a viable idea.
Have you played Old World? Created by the Civ 4 designer, and more of a Civ-with- CK elements than the reverse, but I've stopped playing Civ since it came out.
> That doesn’t imply end users of niche architectures are supposed to lose their favorite apps.

In this case it does, for everyone out there on a RISC-V system who wants to use one of the over 400,000 programs which depend on cryptography.
Supposedly, for years now mobile operators oversees were using bot accounts to send millions of 2FA activation texts and basically farming money from twitter who would (unknowingly?) foot the bill. Elon mentioned this not long after acquisition.
I doubt that any of the reasons had to do with it being an EV. I would bet money on that. The reasons are probably things along the lines of: 1) charging infrastructure is not great for many people. 2) EV cars (tesla in particular) have a reputation of poor build quality not on par with ICE cars at equivalent. 3) A small percentage of people need to drive many hundreds of miles every day and range is an issue.

An electric engine is pretty unanimously superior to ICE for all but ICE enthusiasts (akin to horse enthusiasts). EVs have superior performance characteristics, lack pollution (both carbon and noise), and are much cheaper to maintain. And for most people who have charging infrastructure where they live, and EV means never having to actively go charge/fuel your car.

People didn't believe in the automobile either, at first. Yet no one would say "car vs horse" is a consumer preference choice.
Well GPT said “Hold the Mayo” after all.
> Your car does not do full self-driving.

It literally drives itself. You're hiding behind a semantic argument about what "full" means, and how autonomy is deployed. It's the "Money Printer Go Brrr...." meme.

You don't seem to be able to understand that the product as deployed has value to its purchasers, and that's leading you to some really emotionally dark places. I mean, it shouldn't be this upsetting to you that I like my car, and yet it clearly is. Just... maybe just don't? Let it go. You know these cars are safe as deployed. Let the Tesla nuts have their fun.
Optimization algorithm they arrived at was (quoting from the paper)

def train(weight, gradient, momentum, lr):
update = interp(gradient, momentum, β1)
update = sign(update)
momentum = interp(gradient, momentum, β2)
weight_decay = weight * λ
update = update + weight_decay
update = update * lr
return update, momentum

The key thing they do, sending the update through sign, means all weight updates turn into either 1 or -1.
>is at heightened risk for identity theft

This feels like pearl clutching to me. While it's probably technically true that having your fingerprint leaked increases your risk of identity theft by some non-zero amount, in the overwhelming majority of the cases it's effectively zero, because for the overwhelming majority of people the only place they have their fingerprints enrolled is on their phones. In the event you somehow acquire stolen fingerprint image data, it will be very difficult to use those to perform identity theft at mass scale, because you need physical access to phones.

>and is likely to withdraw from biometric-facilitated transactions.

What "biometric-facilitated transactions" are these? Aside from fingerprint unlock on phones, I'm struggling to come up with cases where fingerprints are used to secure sensitive information.
That's not practical at any company of a decent size. High level executives routinely discuss highly confidential information which cannot be shared with lower level employees until the right time (if at all). That's the reason why they have closed door offices. They need them.
If by "list" you mean "linked list", then those are never used in practice. There is no place for this data structure in a modern CS toolbox.
I was just saying that syntax arguments most of the time are silly. I like LISP and ML languages, so for me it doesn't really matter if I need to write LISPy code or ML code.
> democratic mandate

Democratic? Two million Palestinians live in the West Bank and have had no vote in the Israeli parliament since the occupation started, an occupation condemned by multiple UN resolutions.
> I also don't think the "we're just a poor bunch of small-time package maintainers whose package accidentally became popular" angle quite works, because they call themselves the "Python Cryptographic Authority" and use the prominent package name `cryptography`, which certainly appears to imply some sort of official status.

Author here; I think you might have misunderstood this point. It’s not about official status, blessing, size, or, funding: it’s the fact that cryptography (and many other things) are hard to do safely and reliably across multiple platforms, when the common layer of interaction is fundamentally unreliable.

The problem here isn’t your own initiative (by all means, compile anything on any architecture you please), but whether it’s reasonable for projects to pretend to paper over those unreliabilities (and, in doing so, accept responsibility for platforms they didn’t want to support in the first place).

My intuition is that it isn’t reasonable on its own, and that expecting maintainers to do this (particularly when so much of it boils down to free corporate support) is unfair and a security hazard.
That was an excellent read. I look forward to enjoying their section on JIT compiler vulnerabilities, a whole fascinating topic in itself, when it is completed.
Wow. For contrast, central London McDonalds is paying about 10 GBP per hour for crew - which is the UK legal minimum wage and as of today equivalent to 12 USD.
It was years ago, I try to dig up the link on Github but can't even remember which project I was trying to compile. It was about static linking on Mac.
I think, as we build things which show the characteristics of living growing systems, we can apply a simple heuristic to decide if they are “alive” and therefore of unique, unreproducible value.

Certain living systems provide many of one - blades of grass, bees in a hive, cells in a body. Each of these individual entities can be replaced without fundamentally altering the whole.

however, at certain scales, we have irreduceable living entities which we could not remake because they are the result of many complex interactions over time. The growth of a human, a tree, an old dog (without new tricks).

Maybe AI LLM’s qualify as “conscious”
when we would find ourselves as the makers unable to delete and rebuild the same thing - When the result of training over time builds a unique model which has unique value.

Like other living things.
I think the frustrating thing is that, while rust may consider one of these architectures “tier 2” or unsupported or whatever, there’s a Python interpreter that presumably doesn’t, and whoever is using the Python cryptography package expects it to work the same place all their other code does. And very likely it’s some dependency several layers deep. If my code is going to end up architecture-dependent then why bother with an interpreted language in the first place?
Does anyone actually buy data driven? Seems like a great methodology to adopt if you need to absolve yourself of responsibility for your failures. Most questions people try to apply “data driven” to are so ridiculously complex I’d need to see some incredible methodology and ground breaking understanding of human behavior to put any faith in them. There’s just too many unknowns and confounds.

Data driven is great when you’re monitoring computer performance, but that’s a domain humans have nearly built from the ground up. And even then it can still be very hard to utilize that data. Trying to apply the same to systems we barely understand seems fraught with error.
Another one of these open source notification tools. Seen a lot of them lately. Looks promising but what’s the differentiation?
Right, I never drink straight fruit juice. Those large bottles of orange or apple juice commonly seen in supermarkets I consider dangerous, everyone ought to avoid them.

It could suggest that someone vulnerable commit suicide and have that user do it.
You have completely misunderstood the purpose of distributions. The packaging of software for easy installation is certainly a benefit, but by FAR the primary purpose of (enterprise) distributions is to ensure all those packages are tested to work with each other to provide a usable and stable platform to build on. You can’t just have packages changing to random versions whenever a developer feels like it, as it would break other things using the same package. Easy examples would be conflicts in Python 2 vs 3 scripts, different versions of glibc, etc.

Containers are just an admission that developers are so resistant to working with others that now we have to essentially install a full custom Linux distro for every app, and at that point you’re relying on that same developer to also provide updates to not only their own software, but all dependencies included in the binary blob.
Imagine forcing free accounts to have more security because you reserve the least secure option for your premium offering. He is literally a genius!.
The tensions outlined in this article are very hard to navigate. In some sense it comes down to awareness and handling of "what you don't know you don't know". That skill is arguably a requirement to be a great leader, but it is hard to teach and may largely come down to having a certain inherent capability.
I’m not familiar with Israeli politics or government, but it’s certainly not oximoronic.

Strengthens democracy != is itself democratic

Eg, the US requiring a supermajority for impeachment is antidemocratic (the minority decides), but it strengthens democracy (because it shouldn’t be done by one side alone).

This is a pretty core principle of democratic government
Neither Rust or Go hit Github's Top 10 languages (though they are among the fastest growing): https://octoverse.github.com/2022/top-programming-languages.

There is a lot of code out there already written in C++ and a lot of people working on that code. Not to mention an active standards body.

Expect to be hearing about C++ for a long time to come
Great advice, all four. Thanks.
It's one thing to fling around some words for fun in a web forum. It's rather another to put up an essay on a serious topic with this kind of ornamentation. It makes it look like the author is selling something.

If I want to read a policy paper on rail safety regulation, I want it dry. Give me events, causes, remedies, suggestions, costs. I don't want to read a stump speech.

And in point of fact there aren't any remedies or reasoned argument here, it's all yelling and finger pointing. How might this have been prevented? Why did it happen in the first place (FWIW: we don't actually know yet, AFAIK). How else might we ship these compounds? Do we need to? What industries are they serving? That's the stuff I want to hear.
This isnt about fingerprints. This is about a large corporation not reading a law. This is about recklessly adopting a new business practice without first consulting basic legal advice. The big numbers will get knocked down eventually but they are going to be rightfully on the hook for millions.
Perl might be a better stand in for the argument. It has supported oddball platforms for its entire history, with pretty extensive build support that checks for lots of platform specific settings.
Either you hired bad people or what you offer isn't all that abnormal in the marketplace (ie. you can be replaced fairly easily). Your bosses receive a larger proportion of the rewards of any particular initiative and they are considerably more motivated, that isn't a strange coincidence. Be prepared to move some of those rewards down the chain and watch the magic happen.
Nope as a verb is new to me - just heard it for the second time this week. First time was from my child.

Do you have an example of this happening?
The short answer is that with a singly-linked list, you can easily add items to one end (conceptually, typically the front end.) Then if other code has references to the older parts of the list, they’re still valid.

A great explanation of this is in “Practical Common Lisp”:

On other hand most people put even less time in while WFH. They still cook breakfast- only now it is for them, their spouse and kids. Then they need to feed the kids and probably also take the dog out. The we have a daily stand up and they start to think about going to the store to pick up something they forgot so they can start making lunch - again for whole family and feeding the kids. Then they get a little bit of work in with the same food coma as you described until its time for “remote coffee hang out” to make up for the lack of social interaction. And after that their spouse goes to a walk or to the gym with the neighbor so they need to watch the kids while still on the clock.

Active work done per dat hovers around 1-2 hours and most of that is done while a kid is watching cartoons on full volume in the same room and constantly interrupting.

The point is that users should not be allowed to install apps that are not allowed by IT/security. So many “legit” apps these days are essentially spyware on their own. We’re not even talking about things that have malicious motives.

I always have mixed feeling about having mut self in the handler. On one end its nice to avoid locking the inner state, but it does prevent processing of messages concurrently. This is annoying in many cases where you want for example a central state bound to an IO call.
Is this even true that they chose their own replacements?

> Since 1953, Israel has selected its judges through a diverse committee composed of three Supreme Court justices, two government ministers, two members of the Knesset, and two members of the Israel Bar Association. To appoint a Supreme Court justice, a seven-vote majority of the nine-member committee is required, which means that no group can act alone. Judges can veto what the politicians want, and the politicians can veto what the judges want. This has led to a system of consensus-building and bargaining that produces judges who are for the most part perceived as centrists.

Does that not apply to the Supreme Court, only other judiciary?
It's hilarious that you're using words to convey this argument. Good one
> The logical implication is that an unelected self-perpetuating supreme court in absolute control of the country would be the be the strongest democracy of all.

No: we’re talking about a judicial branch that exists within an elective system of government. The logical extension of that is not dictatorship.

We can discard metaphysics: independent judiciaries strengthen democracy by limiting the ability of executive and legislative authorities to undermine their own mandate to govern.

For example the Open Closed principle is often times used to justify a plethora of inheritance chains rather than having a more generic class that can handle cases based on some parameter. Specially when all a subclass does is modify some class attribute or change some implementation by one line. Obviously some times it's good to apply the principle, but not EVERY time it fits.
Well, we are doing just that, building a new venture with Rust because we think it is transformative in our field.
