Type systems are of course not the only possible mechanism that can enforce these kinds of invariants. In dynamic languages, schema style solutions (eg malli or spec in Clojure) have advantages: they have more expressivity than typical type systems, you can manipulate them as data, you can use in contexts that are not statically verifiable, like at the data interfaces of yuor app.

You can see this actually doesn't have that big an effect. See https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_16,_Repeal_Pr...

To summarize, the law is extremely simple. Remove the line "the government and public institutions cannot discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to persons on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, and public contracting." from the California constitution.

It was a No vote with 57.23 % and yes with 42.77. Now, that's not to interesting. Until you look at who supported the bill! It's to many to list! But you have Pelosi, Sanfrancisco, LA, San Jose, Oakland, Stockton Mayors. Pretty much every D reprsentative, Pete Buttigieg, former state senators, the CA Democratic Party, multiple government entities. AirBnb, Blue Shield of California, Facebook, Instacard, Kaiser Permanente, PG&E(Local Power company), Uber, Twitter, 49er's, Giants, Reddit, United Airlines, Oakland A's, Multiple unions, daughter of MLK. And there list goes on for people who supported it.

Now, here's who opposed it. Two republican State Senators, 3 former representatives, the Republican Party of California, Ward Connerly(Who got the anti discrimination line added in 1996, and 5 organizations you've never heard of. Financing was 25.13 million for Yes, and 1.7 million for no. With only a asingle donor on the No above 50,000, while the Yes vote had Kaiser donating 1.5 million, ACLU with 1.331 million, California Teachers assocation with 3.5 million. And multiple others above a million.

So with over 20 million more in funding, or almost 200%, a long list of who's who fortune 500 and politicians, it still got struck down. I think we can have more faith in the voter and stuff like this shows it.
It also looks like you’re drawing attention to something — the use of the double dashes — in making a deliberate choice to break from the norm. Whereas if you just follow the way most people use dashes - single dashes, not double - then it doesn’t really stand out, it just looks ‘normal.’ You’re used to seeing it styled that way. It feels different.

> The point is the minors working at a meat packing company are victims

Victims of what, a sudden rush of employment? Child labour laws are, at best, a statistical observation that the majority of children are better off being at school than going to work and it is safer just to insist than try and work out the edge cases.

It is appropriate that the company was fined in accordance with the law, they shouldn't have done this. But fact is that there are some kids where working at 13 will just lead to them having better outcomes than anything else. There are 3 victims here who were injured, beyond that there needs to be actual evidence before we start calling them victims. It isn't like at 17 they're victimised and then at 18 the scales fall from their eyes and everything is roses and sunshine. The line is a reasonable judgement call based on averages and estimated opportunity cost.

> It is related because meat packing is a hazardous job and there are more chances of injury for a minor than an adult, regardless of the training.

Depends on the injury I suppose, but my guess is that if they're stupid enough to have underage employees on payroll this company was probably not providing a safe workplace. I assume injuries are high across the board.

A kid probably is more likely to get injured in the workplace just by virtue of being pretty clueless and a lot more lightweight, I grant you that. But it is quite possible that these injuries say more about the workplace than the age of the injured.

Not to detract from your main point, or from the intended rhetoric of the featured article, but "huge and famously boring" is not really a fair description of the Catholic Catechism from the point of view of its intended audience. I have many textbooks on computer related topics, which most non-computer people would describe as both huge and boring, yet I (and no doubt many more folks here) would find them a source of endless fascination.

The Catechism is perhaps "famously" boring because of the number of people who identify as (culturally) "catholic", probably only go to Mass on Sundays because their grandmothers told them they have to and their mothers will refuse to talk to them at Sunday lunch if they don't; people who in some ways want some of the purported "privileges" of belonging to the faith (access to schools in the UK, for example) without actually being actively engaged or interested in the faith itself. To such people, occasionally being forced to plod through parts of the Catechism while jumping through various hoops in order to maintain membership, is what creates the reputation referenced here.

But to someone actually interested in the faith, what the Church teaches and why, this book is of course a fascinating (and very accessible) read. Dogmas (and doctrines) are not blindly asserted, but justified by reference to both scripture and a tradition of philosophy stretching back thousands of years. It's a nerdy read, and theology nerds will certainly get a kick out of it, but you don't need a degree in the subject to make sense of the contents.

As a Linux DJ, I just wish the waveform scroll was jerkless.

I run MiXXX waveforms at 60hz, it takes about 5% CPU, so it has lots of CPU time to spare, and even then, there are graphic imperfections. Every couple of seconds or so, there's a frame skipped, and it is impossible not to perceive it.

This has nothing to do with sound, but I think it is relevant to this discussion :)
I disagree with your using of the term "degenerate" to describe homosexuals, I also disagree with your using the term "depravity" to describe seeking consensual relations through an app, that seems unfounded.

Your logic is strange, if they are completely faithless (like me!), then they see no moral wrong with them being as they are, and so, since they're doing nothing wrong, there is no need for "cover".

As for opportunity, are you suggesting that the prist-population contains an higher than average homosexual non-pedophile men ?

(I assume the pedophiles are not using the app since they have ample supply of choir boys?)

While the article itself is absolute junk, it's interesting to follow the trail of pro-Russia propaganda. The author is Ben Norton, formerly of The Grayzone, which is apparently a well-known Kremlin mouthpiece. I'd never heard of either publication, and they're both fascinating windows into propaganda that's designed to lure in the left instead of the right.
I think this can all be boiled down to "memory", and I think the only thing restraining it is that these models don't retrain and store full reweighted snapshots after each move... so basically a storage, not a processing bottleneck. I'd predict the next major innovation in the space will be some type of NN quick diff that lets you restore a memory and personality right into the weights, from a relatively small file without having to go through a whole training process and dialog every time you boot it. Right now it's like getting back to level 8 of Contra... or level 100 of Flappy Bird... but it's going to be a few simple hacks to jump it to the point you want it. Then there's memory, de-falsification, and what we'd describe as "personality".

Nobody anywhere would argue with "people do bad things", but people where I am would be puzzled if that was your only assessment.

We do things here for the betterment of society not just because it's "the right thing" morally, but because it's the right thing practically. It benefits _us_. We're part of society.

This kind of pragmatic morality is smeared as socialism by the USA, by the people who stand to lose their near total control of the country.

And P.S. we're all the same, there's nothing special about Europe. You can have this too, without losing your freedoms (which by the way, we also have!). And we also have bad people, it's just that we see them as the exceptions, not the norm.

You can just make your python modules out of another language. I am not sure why code has to be big. Break it down and make it executive, not very friendly in terms of threads but if you're writing an API you are writing it for Linux which is vastly safer for threads than Microsoft or Mac.

I think the issue is that companies like Philips aren't just buying a rising star, they are also buying out fractions of early startups or creating 'accelerators' for early startups. They are reaching out and grabbing earlier and earlier in the pipeline.

To me this is bad from two angles. For startups, they start to get influenced and stiffled by big corp 'this is the right way' too soon, which stiffles innovation. For big companies it gives suits an easy cost down to defund internal R&D and externalize that cost, this means that all the deep pocket research you had in the golden days of Bell Labs cannot be replicated, which again stiffles innovation.

> Even the US Federal Constitution can be changed by lawmakers

This really depends on how loosely you define "lawmakers."

The federal legislature cannot amend the Constitution by itself, as it requires a 2/3 supermajority of the House and Senate, 3/4 supermajority by the states, which are not what one would traditionally refer to as 'lawmakers' but I guess could colloquially be sort of.

There's of course the constitutional convention path, but that's even less kind-of-sort-of fitting any normal definition of "lawmaker."

Yeah, that sounds like a potential problem.

Doing a quick search for how to register .sucks domains shows up this (no idea if it's legit though):

https://get.sucks

That website says the "experian.sucks" domain is available... for US$1999.

Did you know double dash is treated as one single longer than normal dash by default in iOS?

This character ‘—‘ looks like one long dash to me, even though I typed the dash button twice. What’s even crazier is if I type four dashes ‘——‘ it still looks like one even longer dash; even six ‘———‘ is a solid line, and I can delete it by pressing the backspace button once

I have no idea how to get my phone to display two short dashes side by side: ‘--‘ maybe I can fake it by puttin an emoji in between, knowing that hackernews will filter it out. Let’s see what happens.

Edit - ooh that totally works. I’d never really paid attention to how this feature worked before.
A brain is subjective. I believe many audiophiles indeed perceive audio quality difference so those products do really make a difference for them.
So the state is managed by backend similar to signalr blazor? If this statement is correct then it's safe to say this approach doesn't scale well.

What would have been interesting is creating blazor web assembly equivalent for python.
It doesn't. At least not explicit (e.g. using the render extension with X11 might well end up using a GPU behind the scenes, but no need to write GPU-specific code; a fast terminal requires pretty much too primitives: an ability to copy a rectangle, and an ability to draw a list of textures, if you need to deal with the GPU it's a failure of abstraction).

Fast enough bitmap terminals have existed since the 1980's, and it takes really naive rendering for the rendering to be a bottleneck ever since then. Resolutions have increased, sure, but overall the increase in resolution and colour depth has been slower than the increase in CPU speed.

If you test various terminals, you'll find the difference in throughput is massive and the most popular ones are not necessarily the highest throughput ones, because people rarely run into the use cases where it makes a difference.

(the one step up from naive rendering that makes the most difference: the renderer should run in a separate thread, at most once per frame, and scroll the required number of lines with a single copy - that copy might well be optimised to a blit using the GPU by the X server or whatever, but that's besides the point; do just that and output does not bottleneck on the rendering as long as the renderer can render individual frames fast enough)
"SVB experienced a sudden liquidity problem, not a solvency problem. "

They had a solvency problem.

The MBS they held with a six year duration didn't generate sufficient income. That meant they couldn't meet the cash letter from the Fed. That's why the FDIC was called in.

The whole strategy was based upon holding uninsured non-interest bearing liabilities for the duration - ie the cash of startups in burn mode.

It wouldn't have mattered if they had insured the HTM portfolio in the traditional manner.

Any sought equity investment in the bank would have had to be sufficient to get the net income up to the level where they could meet the terms of the cash letter from the Fed. I doubt anybody would have gone for that when the alternative was to attend the FDIC auctions and pick up the assets on sale.
> Thing is, I really doubt a 10k system would offer something really relevant above this.

The problem with testing Hifi using Metal is that only the recording engineer really knows what it originally sounded like. Metal recordings are also generally very compressed and so not a good test of dynamics and transients. A good test of a Hifi would involve acoustic instruments, violins, cellos, pianos, orchestras etc. You also need very well recorded source material.
It feels to me like the whole startup economy is essentially built on making regular people take enormous risks with their lives.

R&D used to be quite conservative and limited, true, but conducted by deep-pocketed companies or governments. Now people are encouraged to take the risks themselves, live a precarious life funding round to funding round, encouraged by a massive but distant carrot most people never even smell.

SVB feels like another part on this play. It reads to me like their business model barely made sense - but so what? It would pay while the music is playing, and if it fails, the bag holders are the same start-up hopefuls.

I totally think there is a niche for startups, and people who are well-suited to work there, but not at the levels we are seeing. Anyone who can hold a broom is told to set up an "Uber for cleaning" or whatever, and that's not a good idea.
It's funny that I'm currently going in the completely opposite direction of using JavaScript to build AI apps (with tensorflow.js). I'm a frontend dev of course.

You should be happy with your representation, not forced to rationalize how they're less awful than the alternative. The argument against this is itself also disingenuous. It generally entails suggesting that if you vote e.g. Green (if they happen to be who you would be happy with) then "the other side" will win, so you must vote for somebody you don't like.

That outcome is indeed reasonable to expect, but what matters is what happens next. If e.g. the DNC did start losing elections because environmentally minded individuals started voting Green, they're not just going to shrug and keep losing every election. Instead, it would force them to genuinely shift their platform to regain these votes.

The whole lesser of two evils nonsense is just a remarkably effective 'social exploit' to get tens of millions of people to vote not only for people they don't like, but even against their own self interest - in a democracy, in the age of the internet.
I really like GitLab the product, and am part of their Hero and Core teams, however, the recent changes and changes pricing adjustments have me doubting if I can continue supporting them.

At work we use their hosted ultimate plan and we were looking to move to their premium but might instead go straight to a self hosted CE instance instead since there is nothing between free and $29/user/month (which is actually $348/user/year because they don't support monthly payments) and the free hosted plan is so crazy restricted.
Ask HN: What software are you dogfooding?
A little over a year ago I wrote a shopping list app which we're using on a weekly basis. This got me thinking: what kind of software tool did you write yourself and are using it on a regular basis?
I'm happy to write my own SELECT queries, but it sucks to be manually schlepping row[0], row[1], etc. into the fields of my domain entities, or making sure I provide the parameters to the parameterized INSERT statement in the right order. ORMs usually let you drop down to SQL as desired, and I do that when I have a nontrivial query to express, but CRUD plumbing is nice.
Right. In fact any ORM worth its salt will have methods specifically designed to let you address the N+1 problem easily.

E.G: django "select_related"

Not to mention they will will have ways to use raw SQL through the lib infrastructure, which is still better than querying SQL manually, and give you full control of the query.

Also wordpress shows that you can write manual SQL and still have terrible performances because your application is badly structured, which an ORM helps with.

In the end, I don't think there is less trap with raw SQL, the traps are just different. It's not a matter of "better".
Early stage investing is the right mix of low cost and high yield. Most of the their startups are failures and duds but it doesn't matter because they don't cost that much and there are enough that do work out. Later stage investments are still quite risky but now you are losing millions when they fail. So you are more dependent on the handful that don't. Also, late stage investment in Silicon Valley means dumping money in real estate, very expensive executives, engineers, etc. Who then take the money and job hop to the next startup as soon as things start failing.

Now that interest rates are going up, the financial risks have increased and the follow up rounds are drying up a bit (less IPOs, series B, C, etc.). Meaning the cost is higher and exits are becoming a bit more rare and less lucrative. And also, there is less chance of offloading not quite profitable late stage investments to more conservative investors. A lot of these unicorns still fail. They just fail a bit later after early investors cash in. Somebody pays for that. Usually not the early investors.
