FWIW i wasn't trying to make an optimizing compiler, i was experimenting with replacing an interpreter for a scripting language with a JIT, so even bad native code was still faster than the interpreter :-).

It wasn't really used anywhere, eventually i decided to keep the interpreter and move any complex logic in C which ultimately was the simpler approach (and which has been my take on scripting languages for years now: use scripting languages for the "what" and native code for the "how").

Frankly that’s an incredibly naive thing to say. There’s just no comparison. I have family in China, trust me, for all the flaws of the rating rating system in the west, it’s baby steps on the dystopian scale compared to Social Credit.

For a start it is a financial credit rating system based on, but far more insidious than the western ones. So any negative effect of credit ratings in the US, SC does that too. On top of that it adds whole other layers of monitoring and intrusiveness, combined with many dimensions of additional ways it’s used to interfere in people’s lives. Things that in the west are legal rights can just be arbitrarily taken away if you have a low SC score. Not just by accident or as a side effect, but systematically and by design.
Do we watch a show like The Simpsons because it is hand drawn, or because of the content?

Last weekend I watched part of an episode and there was a scene where they walked towards "Place de la Pointillisme" [0]. The effect is clearly CGI and you can see how Homer and Marge are actually animated 3D models, so effectively all the "newer" shows (it was aired May 8, 2016) are computer animations with a very flat cel shader. Some argue that newer episodes aren't as good as old ones, but I'm not sure if this could be attributed to them not being hand drawn anymore. In any case, one could apply an XKCD-shader to make the lines a bit more human if the look doesn't appeal.

The Miyazaki video, I get it why he says what he says, but it's an issue with the students targeting the wrong audience. I could see their horrible graphics being a part of a horror movie or game, but that is a completely different world than Miyazaki's.

Irrelevant. The point is that restaurant food is ridiculously expensive in America for some reason, and it shouldn't be: America is a huge food producer and exporter, so if anything, it should be cheaper to eat out in America than in other places that have to import a lot of their food (like Japan). Instead, it's the opposite. So something is fundamentally very wrong. Many other things are significantly cheaper in America too, such as electronics and cars and gasoline, so it's not a case of everything being more expensive. Even grocery store food in America is fairly cheap-to-reasonable in my experience, compared to other developed nations, it's just restaurant food that's ridiculously overpriced.
He's referring to the current animosity between the UK and Europe. Both groups frequently go out of their way to make life harder for the other. The EU proposing the English GMT would be unlikely in this climate. Also FWIW I think only Portugal overlaps with GMT.
> Life expectancy at birth isn't the best metric, since child mortality depresses the aggregate.

Child mortality in developed countries has become very low, in the US it's around 5.5 / 1000. As a result, total life expectancy doesn't differ much between birth and 5: https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html

For men, LEB is 76.22, LE5 is 71.77 (so TLE5 of 76.77). For women, it's 81.28 and 76.76 (81.76).

That's a 6 month difference in TLE, probably not what'll make or break the nonsense that is "today's 5 years olds will reach 100".

> As a quick example: in the US in 2020 and 2021, the life expectancy at birth was 76–77, but the life expectancy for 65 year-olds was 83–84: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db456.htm

The article is about 5 years old, not 65 years old. Those are basically worlds apart: for obvious reasons, the older you get the more chances you have to keep living, because you've yet to die.

Per the above actuarial tables, men's TLE65 is 83, TLE83 is 89.91. But between the two the cohort drops from 80000 to 42000.

TLE89 is 93.45 but the cohort is down to 22000. TLE93 is 96.29, but 10500 remain. And you can keep going, the actuarial table's life expectancy never reaches 0. Yet the probability of a survivor (out of 100000) does, quite a long way before the end of the table.

Show HN: Build a knowledge base from your Slack content
Hello HNers!

We are Maria and Stuart from DataQA (https://dataqa.ai/). We want to make sure companies never "lose" important information on Slack. We have built a Slack app to easily bookmark and tag important content, such as announcements, FAQs or actionable decisions, and save it inside an internal knowledge base. All inside of Slack.

Anyone who uses Slack regularly will be aware of its shortcomings when it comes to the amount of noise that can be generated. Even with the best of intentions, companies can easily end up with too many noisy channels, where relevant discussions happen at the same time as more informal chats. This is not only a distraction for people, but is also a problem when trying to go back and search past history for important information. The data in Slack is proprietary knowledge of companies and should not get locked inside the Slack platform.

Both Stuart and I have felt this pain at our previous jobs. How do we solve this problem? With DataQA, you can save important messages or threads in the form of question-answer pairs, and tag them with relevant tags, e.g. #front-end-updates. All the saved content is then displayed in the Slack app home page, no need to login to another service. The app also comes with search, as well as a bot to quickly access all the saved knowledge.

We only see what we need to see: the app only has access to the channels it's invited to, and all data gets deleted if the app gets uninstalled from the workspace.

We are offering the app for free at the moment, and would love to hear feedback from the HN community!

> People lose their phones and then your authenticator app doesn't work anymore

Don't ever keep your TOTP seed solely on a phone. Yes, that is asking for trouble. But you can save it in a safe place and then you control it.
That's silly. If we followed your logic, there is no such thing as "at most once" delivery. It's actually "exactly-once" delivery, since if it is 0 it is not a delivery.
"Clocks run faster on the moon than on Earth, gaining about 56 microseconds each day, the space agency said".

I have no technical knowledge about clocks at all, but this sentence sounds odd to me, shouldn't there be a lot of different clock technologies that work in different ways?

Or are they saying this because there is only one "best" technology for NASA purposes and that one is off by 56 us on the moon?
"treatment is like drinking alcohol for depression. Sure, it kind of works in some ways, but it has its own world of problems." This does read as learned helplessness to me, a sympathetic stranger on the internet.

Wouldn't that get incredibly confusing with the calendar always being slightly off, despite using the same names? At that point why not just stick to a integer day count for the date.

Having a non-integer number of hours in a day might also get confusing. It would be near-impossible to make an analog clock, for example, and stuff like dividing up a day into three shifts would be really cumbersome. For day-to-day life redefining the second might end up being a lot easier.
I don't get it either. One would think that corporations would cut unnecessary costs by not sending paper bills at the advent of electronic communication. Is there a legal obligation to keep sending them, I wonder.
Unordered map is a hash map. Map is a binary search tree.

There’s no random access for hash map, in the sense of “give me the fifth element”. If you mean a lookup, like map[key], hash map has an O(1) amortized look up, where as a binary tree has an O(log n) look up, so hash map will generally be faster in this regard.
It doesn't introduce lag. At least not in a manual car. By the time you've pressed the clutch down and selected a gear the engine will be ready. You can completely forget about it. If you're talking about automatics then maybe you should get a manual if you are so concerned about lag. Engine start/stop might just be your first "don't like it because it's different" thing.

Lookup is map.at() (throws on invalid element), you can use map.contains() since c++20 or map.find()!=map.end() to see if the element exists beforehand.

operator[] does more than lookup, but there are other functions for the other stuff. It should be pretty clear...?
No, I don't think you can bring your own drinks typically in Japan. I've never seen it. I haven't tried though.

However, unlike Europe, water is free and even though it's tap water, it's really good (Tokyo has excellent municipal water quality). European restaurants are terrible that way; they want to sell you ridiculously expensive bottled water that costs more than alcohol.

You can "get by without" tipping in Europe, but in some places (like Budapest) they try to guilt tourists into tipping the same way it's done in America with a place on the credit card slip while the server is watching, because they know American tourists are used to tipping a lot. Other places have a place to add a tip too. Japan is different: there is absolutely no tipping, whatsoever. It's not even allowed; they will return your money to you.

Because C++ doesn't have the Guaranteed Niche Optimization C++ optional<T&> would be pretty miserable whereas Rust's Option<&T> is exactly what you want.

In practice C++ APIs where you'd naturally write Option<&T> use pointers and are consequently easier to use wrong, this is an example of Rust actually providing improved safety technology (whereas many commonly identified safety differences like bounds checking in Rust are cultural differences)

Find pushes back birth of Europe's steel hardware to about 3k years ago
"A group of researchers in Germany have shown that steel tools were being used in the Iberian peninsula at least as long ago as 900 BCE – far earlier than it was believed knowledge of the metal had made its way to the region."

Fascinating discovery here and a cool insight on the development of steel-based tools etc dating back far older than perhaps previously thought.

> and I'm sorry, but what does "naming months and seasons in Mars" have to do with this?

Time of day and calendaring and discussed together because they allow you to ask things like "what was the date and time on Mars prime meridian on Feb 2 2023 6:00 UTC" and get a recognizable date and time back. It's essentially a timezone, albeit a very strange one with a variable offset.

> modifying the core idea of the 24 hour day to be a "slight tweak"?

Ok, maybe an exaggerated hand-wave on my part. It's a slight software tweak on my desk clock. I was contrasting with the alternative of modifying a fundamental SI unit and more or less rebuilding from scratch all hardware sent on Mars. The fuckups alone resulting from confusing Earth seconds with Mars seconds.

Maybe they will soon be able to give some emotion and randomness to the text-to-speech engines to make the tone less boring... I think models like GPT can now detect different emotions in the input text, so it might be used to tune different tone for each sentence.
No it is pesky Einstein guy with his general relativity.

The bigger problem is that our timekeeping is earth based. The time definition should have been based on deep space, with corrections for time on earth.

So earth clock are slow with respect to clocks in deep space. Clocks on the moon are less slow are therefore faster than on earth
At least here in Norway, getting connected to the grid is starting to be problematic, as capacity is already pretty stretched. In our neighborhood our condominium got our chargers connected without issue, but now the local transformer is maxed out.

So at least here, it would be advantageous to get connected as soon as possible.
