In most places there are limits to who can put things on poles. For example, where I live it’s the local municipality, utilities, telephone companies, and cable companies. That’s it.
But lucky to learn to code at all. But I see no advantage. You either learn or you don't.
There is significant benefit to learning "two levels up" how to perform a given task, though it need not be provided within a formal environment.
I can't tell from the Privacy Policy who can end up getting access to information about what contracts I'm signing, and with whom. Nor can I tell for what purposes they may use that information once they have access to it.

I suppose what I really want from business legal document facilitation is lawyer-like confidentiality, which is the opposite of the typical mindset of tech companies.
Of course you don't "end up in jail in the west".

First they freeze your assets, and only then if you're foolish enough to subject yourself to the due process, you might end up in jail.

There's an handful of people from the west who went to Donbass to report the situation. They are (of course?) mostly supportive of Russia, so you shouldn't delude yourself in thinking that they are unbiased... but they have regularly been threatened with prosecution if/when they'll return, example:

> If I follow correctly this is about working with the SQLite team to upstream WASI support, which will eventually enable official support for it, and hence WASM on the server/cloud/edge and other WASI complement runners.

(sqlite team's Wasm/JS guy here)

That's the long and the short if it. We currently _actively_ target browsers only because our team has exceedingly limited bandwidth and has to be choosy with regards to where our dev time goes. Long-term, we intend to target all wasm platforms, but getting there is an ongoing process.
Sum types let you have default values without pervasive nil. That’s not new either, it’s been done since at least ML.

Separate address spaces are trivial when you have a runtime, just look at Erlang.

Go could’ve also copied Erlang’s supervision trees to ensure safe and bounded goroutine lifetime.

For all their impressive achievements, Go’s creators suffer from extreme NIH syndrome. Just look at Plan 9.
“Never?” One can argue we’ve gotten as close as possible to a level playing field or even over shot in some areas, but to say that the cultural changes that have been fought and won over the last 100 years or so have never been about leveling the playing field is utterly detached from reality.

You do realize that, for example, a husband could legally rape his wife in any US state until the 1970s? This wouldn’t be illegal in every state until 1993!

Let me reiterate that: there were people in the United States of America who did not have any legal protection from rape until 1993.

Subjugation of women (and of minority groups) is not some mythical injustice and it’s not even a distant injustice.

We’re talking about thousands of years subjugation and vast amounts of progress being made in the last 50-100 years. It’s insane to refer to this as “never” been about fixing real problems.
I read the book about this, “The Mirage,” a few years ago. It’s out of print, unfortunately, but worth the read if you can find a copy.

If one removes the two outliers from the results, it turns out that 44ms latency shows up in more or less regular patterns - every 14th request in average. My wild guess is therefore that it's most likely related to memory allocation patterns or network.
So condescending. Parenting discussions bring out the worst in people.

Same as ever, nepo babies think they know everything. If you go back you see plenty of it in their early stuff too. You were just younger and noticed it less.

> this later work received no significant attention and generated no revenue.

By 2012 they had already completely sold out when they sold the mag to i-D and still where making massive numbers.

They are being sold now for 225 million despite their bankruptcy.

Fox News is the most overt political entertainment network in the planet and also the most profitable. Seems like your theory is entirely at odds with reality and your rose tinted glasses of gonzo Vice is mostly ignoring the actual content of the magazine.
I don't like it, but there's nothing stopping your neighbor or anyone else from filming your home from a public/street view. Let's not forget that even if a court decides the police need a warrant to film, a third party could do the filming and police could just buy the data legally. Again, not something I like, but that's how it goes.

There are very few details in the article. Now I'm curious how they found out about the camera, if charges were filed, etc.
Im not sure I follow… rates are the same as 4 years ago but operating costs are significantly higher. That seems genuinely difficult - if their rates dont keep up with inflation then its not a sustainable trend.
This is somehow so very Nintendo. They're like this grade school jerk kid who when done playing soccer with the other kids insist on kicking the ball straight to hell just so nobody else can keep playing after they're done. You'll pry my Luma3DS-fixed console out of my cold dead hands.
> It feels like this article is portraying women as creatures bound to their nature and men as unchanging monoliths.

Indeed the whole article fails to identify gender roles and cultural norms as the source.

It also uses the term "market value" as something natural and inevitable. There's a lot of hidden bias here.
I think a better example is neighbour 1 drives past your house once a day and neighbour 2 drives past 10 times a day on the main road several blocks further from your house. If you needed a lift somewhere (or some other reason to interact), you can either wait patiently for N1 to drive past or you can walk the several blocks to the main road, and then wait less time for N2.
Sum types are optional. And if you make them obligatory, they become just syntax sugar for nil. What would be the default value of a non-sum reference type, without nil?

Erlang's "address space isolation" is not real address space isolation, only semantic. Erlang "processes" are all still in the same address space, but the language semantics doesn't allow them to interfere with one another.

You can implement bounded goroutine lifetime by using sync.WaitGroup and other constructs for coordinating goroutines. Go just doesn't force you to.

> Go’s creators suffer from extreme NIH syndrome. Just look at Plan 9.

This is just bad faith arguing. Plan 9 was revolutionary in many ways, and brushing it off as just NIH makes me think you don't understand or recognize its achievements.
Thin clients on a local network are one thing.

These over a (possibly flaky) internet connection is another.

Maybe in some countries/cities/locations where there is a "perfect" conection they may work, otherwise the 365 part of the name will need to be changed to the low 300's.
Eh, how I always cringe when I read stories like this about how people achieve childhood dreams and make games.

The above assumes good faith and a lack of political agenda, which is not likely to be the case for the current Supreme Court.

Are you asking why a GIF is used, or why the 43 bytes are needed?

I think a GIF is likely the smallest wide-supported resources format (force the browser request a URL to load a specific resource). The 43 bytes is the minimum size for a valid GIF, so the browser won't log an error loading the image and go through all load events.

It looks like in modern browsers it's 35 bytes: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15960901/407650

The wiki page doesn’t have a section on perceived environmental impact, do you have more info on that?

From the description of the ship they tried to use environmentally-friendly tech (despite it being a bit of a behemoth), but I know nothing about the local ecosystem. I imagined the area would already have heavy boat traffic from cruises and the military.
I had never heard of the concept of closest average neigbor before. When I read it, I assumed it meant: draw a straight line between the two bodies, that is the current distance between the two bodies, now average it over a couple of years of motion of these two bodies in space.
Usually those are the parties required to have access to them. Whichever party owns/maintains the poles can usually grant access to additonal parties if they see fit.
I didn't keep track of the benchmarks very well. However, it went from taking 3+ days and 180GB of memory to process 80M rows [1] to processing 1.3B rows in ~6 hours using ~90GB of memory.

I agree with your analysis. I had conflated distance and time.

And, I definitely agree with slowing down! Perhaps we can all start by actually obeying existing speed limits.
Ask HN: Is it appropriate to use a semantic cache in Microsoft Guidance?
My (near decade long) comment history speaks for itself. I do not primarily use HN for a culture war, but I do engage it. Despite how I try to avoid the culture war, it beat a path to my door, and threatens my livelihood. Something something, "and when they came for me, there was no one left to speak".

I maintain that I'm being banned -- not for engaging in the already present ideological battle on HN, but merely for engaging on the wrong side of it.
I don't disagree, but there are always multiple solutions to problems we face, and the solution is not always simply to move on to the next product.

No product would ever cater to each and every need, and that's fine.

You have choice, if something doesn't satisfy you, you can sometimes fix the problem, improve the product or write your own module (when its opensource), or switch to another solution. Look at the opentelemetry comment below as another possibility to get what you want done.

There are so many choices today, and you enjoy the freedom of choice. If something else works better for you, use that other something.

There's no need to complain.
Hopefully this means process for used containers will come back down as well, they've been crazy expensive the last few years.
not OP, but I just find caves fascinating. You can be wiggling through small passage for hours and hours, and then suddenly find yourself in a cavern large enough to fit an airliner that not even the most powerful lights can see the other side of. There are passages that are completely white with flowstone, others with enormous crystal pools, others with formations that seem to defy gravity, and others with bones of prehistoric creatures (and of course most of them which are just boring old rock\sand\mud).
Also, cavers are just fun to be around. It takes a certain type of person to want to go and get wet, cold and muddy in the dark for hours or days at a time.

On the other hand, cloud gaming has been more of a market than cloud PCs for consumers.

Because you need a basic PC to connect to it which is enough for most usecases anyway. But not for gaming so there it makes more sense.
Not to mention the frequent cloud outages, even when your workplace has perfect internet connectivity.
Hm. Though I'm skeptical it's really "talent" in the sense of purely meritocratic ability, you know? It seems cronyish. Why does a nonprofit actually need someone who is "worth" 700k/year? Would that person be able to command that much in private industry? In theory, if they could legitimately pull down 700k from nonprofit work, this suggests they would be worth far _more_ in industry. The Wikimedia foundation does not oversee a fast growing startup. They need to maintain a website. Why does that need 200 staff and some of them pulling down 700k? The other thing is that nonprofits have a fundamental misalignment in product market fit. They are not selling a good to a customer, so the feedback loop is not tight. They have to convince donors of their value, fundamentally an ideological proposition in many ways, but the donors are not the consumers of the product. So there's an information asymmetry there. Of course I agree on all your points about corporates. But nonprofits get a special status -- both in terms of tax and in the eyes of the public -- so we hold them to a different standard.
The simplest bearing is a greased axle. This was the big 'wheel' discovery, not the round thingie, but how to attach a box on top. So we agree!

When journalism decided to make a deal with the Devil, and ads became the main source of revenue, it was inevitable for writing to shift towards maximizing clicks. The dopamine pulses of this style cannot be ignored and so to compete all news eventually reached equilibrium in this same vein.
"Wouldn’t it be great if you could see errors in place instead of mysterious NULLs?"

It's not a good ad when the error message is inadequate even in the supplied example and you need to hack around it.
Spot the bug in the following C function for reading files:

bool
files_read(const char *path, char **data, size_t *size) {
FILE *f = fopen(path, "rb");
if (!f) {
return false;
}
fseek(f, 0, SEEK_END);
size_t n = (size_t)ftell(f);
rewind(f);
if (size) {
*size = n;
}
if (!data) {
goto ok;
}
*data = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*(n + 1));
if (fread(*data, 1, n, f) != n) {
free(*data);
return false;
}
*data[n] = '\0';
ok:
fclose(f);
return true;
}

ChatGPT solves this task instantly. Many, even experienced C developers, would have trouble finding the bug. And the lack of error checking on malloc is not a bug.

If international trade declines, this could indeed tip the scales and give labor a stronger bargaining position across the globe. Less trade might mean fewer cheap imports and potentially more jobs for local industries. This shift could lead workers to demand higher wages and better working conditions, knowing that the globopatricians can't easily jump ship to cheaper labor markets.
His psychosis allowed him to see reality as being extremely flexible and influenced by often malignant forces. That applies to modern society as more of our "reality" depends on things such as social media and that's clearly able to be influenced by bad actors. It's only going to get worse as we can't believe that a picture or video of someone isn't faked and so all we can do is try to figure out our own narrative.

His work also features lots of surveillance themes (again, likely due to the nature of his psychosis) and I can't think of anything more relevant to modern society. We've now reached the stage of technology where it's feasible for us all to be living in a panopticon.

Another major theme in PKD's work is "what makes us human" and we're getting close to producing LLMs that seem to behave as though they are human. If we give an AI a sense of personal identity with some fake memories, then would we be able to tell that they weren't human and what would they "think" about it?

I think self-taught is more likely to end up with holes in one's education.

- I doubt I would have figured out automata theory on my own.

Most programming tasks are just fine with those holes.

- Most programmers don't need to know automata theory

Classes assignments included some interesting topics I doubt I wouldn't have come up with on my own.

- I know some others are way more self-directed than I was.

I expect self-taught people are more likely to develop incorrect mental models of how computers work.

In short, it depends on the person and the type of programming.
This is more true in non-tech fields pre-pandemic. These days remote positions are more prevalent than ones that require relocation in tech and some other fields.

>directing internal heat ( and external heat - like yours ) to himself, rather than HR, or middle managers etc in Google.

The reason this is irrelevant is because it's not what Western society values. If he is sincere about taking responsibility, he would either resign with no compensation, or take a severe paycut for failure. If a CEO is handed a bonus when the company does well, then it must follow that their head rolls when it doesn't.

"Taking heat" should be part of the day-to-day of a CEO's job and not the "punishment" for failure.

The part you quoted is from the definition of "NonCommercial". The way "NonCommercial" is then used is:

the Licensor hereby grants You ... to ...

a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material,
in whole or in part, for NonCommercial purposes

b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material
for NonCommercial purposes

As you can see, it always talks about sharing the content which can only be done for NonCommercial reasons. If it wouldn't only apply to sharing but to any type of usage, why would sharing be mentioned in every paragraph?

Also, in my experience, a lawyer would use "or Share" and not "and Share" if they wanted to express that the act of "reproducing" alone (whatever that means) is enough to fall under the license, even if no sharing would occur.

So my feeling is still that the license deals with sharing. Not with act of using.
An Optional defaulting to None when created can still fail to compile if you don't check whether it's None when you use it. Same with a Result defaulting to an Error.

The problem with nil for any pointer or interface is that you can compile code dereferencing it without first checking if it's nil.

Yes, so? This description is good journalism. You're just trying to come up with derogatory terms to describe it, while there's nothing wrong with any of that.
The idea is that the length and amount of surveillance is invasive.

You expect when you walk out of the house a neighbor might see what you’re doing. Hard to call it invasive if that happens a few times a week.

But if your neighbors take turns sitting on their porch, watching every move you make - if you can never come and go without them watching - and they’re taking notes and pictures of every visitor, every package, etc. - that would feel invasive for many people.

That’s the argument. Do you have a expectation of privacy in public? No. Do you have an expectation of constant surveillance? Also no.
