Isn't one of the benefits of F# the ability to compile into other languages. I'd think it would be possible to have F# run on WebAssembly. But, guess I'm too focused on F#, this is really about Q# running on web assembly, so maybe writing Q# in F# and F# being able to generate web assembly, is too many layers? Added complication?

So, am I hearing correctly, the goal was really about portability, and allowing Q# to run in a browser, not for any performance reasons of .NET.
There are ~10 million NYT subscribers. There are ~160 million Amazon Prime subscribers.

Bad practices by NYT impact 3% of Americans. Bad practices by Amazon impact 48% of Americans.

You can be cynical and say that going after Amazon is political because more voters are impacted, but at the end of the day it seems reasonable to go after the biggest target where the biggest impact can be made to benefit Americans.
In the US (and quite possibly all of the Western world), it is unacceptable to wash with water.

1) Wipe hands with paper towels after eating. Hands are still greasy, grease finds its way all over the house, door knobs, tap handles, keyboards, mice.

2) Use toilet paper. Completely unacceptable to use water. It leads to toilet paper shortages and crusty bottoms (less crusty with toilet paper), but nobody has a clue that an alternative is available and works better. [1]

3) Shoes inside, even on bed. You can see this on all the shows/movies. Third world has footwear(shoe/flipflops) outside, wash feet when you come inside. Or indoor slippers.

Do the workers get a vote, or just the corporation?

I think every person should have a say in the laws where they live, and that includes where they work. Sadly most people get one vote based on one address
Good piece! The idea is to ask a person how would they resolve conflicts to gauge their interpersonal skills.

I have often found the following question provides a sneak peek into someone's emotional framework: would they rather deal with a smart asshole or an incompetent nice colleague?

I feel much the same way about having been given my own computer with internet when I was about the same age in the late 90s.

Following developments in VR/AR for a while, I've felt like we've been in a "business computers before spreadsheets", "home computers before the internet", "mp3 players before the iPod", "PDAs before the iPhone" sort of period, wondering if we'd see a sea change platform emerge. I generally have a low tolerance for hype, but I'm excited about the potential here. Can't wait to experiment with developing software for it!

I agree- it's more like "don't debate the conspiracy theorists" since that's what RFK Jr is. And Rogan is just amoral- he doesn't care what gets said, regardless of impact, as long as he gets more listeners.

It feels weird that you can state something so obvious so far down a thread and it’s literally the only mention of it.

We haven’t adapted successfully, we aren’t adapting successfully and we won’t adapt successfully.

We were way better off before smartphones. Looking back on it now, we may have been even better off before the Internet.

By any conceivable perspective you would care to measure we’re failing abysmally as a collective at identifying fact from fiction.
Rick Beato made several videos about perfect pitch, also featuring his kid who has PP and can identify entire chords. Apparently his opinion is that the key was listening to atonal music at an early age, like you say.

From what I know, at least in my country, this is the case. Additionally, in the case of Google Domains, nothing is stopping you from migrating your domains to some other registry right now, before they get transferred over to Squarespace.

One could argue that having your data with Google is more damaging to one’s privacy than having it with any other company, considering that Googles business model is the selling of ads based on your data, but that’s besides the point here.
It ends too soon. The funniest part is when they talk about the northern hemisphere being on top and then them putting it on the bottom and her saying it is freaking her out.
I had horrific migraines. Would walk into a store, and the lights would leave me completely dysfunctional within 10 minutes. Tons of triggers. Spent 18-20 hours a day in bed unable to function.

After about a year of 3000u daily vitamin D, my migraines were mostly gone. Lights and most other triggers didn’t bother me at all.

I did get tested at beginning and levels were quite low.
Yes, line splitting is built-in. But this is more about split versus tokenize.

I have split and tokenize functions which have the same interface.

Split places the focus on identifying separators: the "negative space" between what we want to keep. When we use that for lines, it has problems with edge cases, like not giving us an empty list of pieces when the string being split is empty.
Umm… yes, yes they are.
I've been using the vim vscode plugin in vscode-nightly with Copilot Chat for a few weeks. I'm far from a vim expert, but I think you don't understand the point of vim, which is perhaps best understood as a language for text manipulation. Also, I have not found the chat feature of Copilot to be particularly useful.
Light or quantum could possibly deliver by that time
Wonder if that'll work as well as autopilot...
Quite the uphill battle for a developer.

This is different territory compared to marginally useful 2D app that millions of developers produce.

To make a believable virtual/3D experience requires enormous investments if you don't want it to look like a video game from 25 years ago. It's quite telling that Apple rushed through the 3rd party demo session at the event, as every example looked terrible. As terrible and useless as 99% of AR apps produced thus far.

I would suspect that only giants like Disney could produce a "killer app" experience that woes people and make this worth the money and discomfort.

And on top of that, yes, lots of developers will produce what are basically 2D apps where they take an existing app and project it in space, possibly showing multiple sub screens. Slightly more useful if done well, at best. Financially likely the only realistic scenario for most developers but it also cheapens the appeal of this device.

Not to mention that you need to apply way more real world scrutiny to possible scenarios. As an example, somebody suggested a cooking app.

To solve what problem, exactly? Cooking is instructions and timers. Yet with this device one can project more information. What information, exactly? Cooking requires free movement, to grab items, throw things in the trash, but here you are with a thing strapped to your head with low visibility. Possibly wired as you need to be thinking about battery during a long cooking session. Maybe you're cooking with two people, as couples sometimes do, then what? Countless real downsides, merely theoretical upsides.

Don't get me wrong? Will the tech elite embrace it and will a few influencers rave on about this cooking app on their channel? Sure. But that's not my point. My point is that you need convincing apps with tremendous added value to offset the price and discomfort of this device.

Without that, it will be solo movie watcher pro.

I don't understand the reasoning that some company has better security than another. It's honestly trivial to set up good security. The main problem is incentive to go against/ break that security, which will likely grow with company size, or other factors. So it seems completely unreasonable to trust certain companies over others.

Perhaps trusting governments, since they have less silly financial reasons to break security is reasonable.

Which do you think? Of course the corporations.

In Melbourne, Australia, the local government that covers the downtown area and a few surrounding suburbs gives 2 votes to businesses and 1 vote to residents. Guess what kind of policy exists? Highly pro business, growing inequality for residents.

I have a trivial, superficial gripe with modern languages. I hate this syntax:

let variable_name : type = value;

I find it extremely ugly.

I know that people here have disdain for discussions about syntax [1], and I know that once compiled, the specific syntax doesn't matter that much.

But I think that language aesthetics do matter.

People say that languages are "just tools", and the output quality is all that matters. But, personally, I would want the tool that I'm going to be spending a significant amount of time working with to be beautiful and feel good.

And that's one point where I consider C to be superior: aesthetics. If I start a hobby project, I may start in C, because programming in it makes me feel good, even if it's unsafe.

I'm not a language expert, so I don't know if there are good technical reasons for this modern syntax to have replaced C-style initialization, but I think there must be some way to avoid using this modern syntax without losing whatever feature is made possible by it.

So, my point is: We shouldn't discard aesthetic considerations so lightly. Languages are not "just [ugly] tools", they can be a medium of artistic expression to some people.

Is it normal for the state legislature to make changes to a city charter? Why Seaford?

The title and synopsis are hiding some important info here.

- currently 'bona fide resident' requires owning property for 6 months

- with the changes in the bill, natural persons don't need to own property to be qualified to vote, but corporations do

- and non-resident natural persons who own property in the city are also eligible

So unfortunately it is _not_ as easy as creating a bunch of shell corporations to create a big external voting block; you also have to be able to buy property for each of them.

Yes. Is it likely? No. Would it lead to their demise? Possibly.

We've seen how Russian leaders negotiate and making claims of doing crazy things is part of their strategy.
It really seems like, "Coddled billionaire has a whole team to make him feel special, praise his every utterance, and support his many delusions" has become the new thing for that sort. I wish they still did things like build museums, grand architecture, that sort of thing. Hell, I'll be the last person to compliment Musk, but at least when he burns out on Tesla, Twitter and the rest he'll still have left SpaceX in his wake. I'm not a fan of the Waltons, but at least one of them built that Crystal Bridges museum.

We might not need the likes of Versailles, but at least they look good and draw in the tourists. When Son is all said and done he's going to leave nothing of value behind him.

I don't think it's the same. Maybe "is meant for" is not the right wording, but the point is really that the model of Discord just works better for communities, because the server admin does not have to pay for the users (rather the users can contribute to the server).

really hope Go has something like MERN for node.js or Django for Python, so I can use it for ready-to-go backend framework. There are gin and echo etc, just not as widely adopted as MERN or Django.

in some of my use cases, I need make sure source code is fully protected, neither Node nor Django can do that well, Go will be perfect as it is compiled, however there is nothing like MERN or Django in Go(yet). Another option will be Java, but I do not know Java.

> Their stations are much more complex, with screens and so on. So the failure rate is far higher and repair is much more difficult.

Gas stations are far more complex, and they manage just fine, with substantially higher utilization (cycles per day) and abuse than level 3 chargers.

Tesla spent the money to do this, and they pulled it off. Go them.
Is Dan Ariely implicated in any of this? My understanding was that he was cleared.
It sounds like the UK hasn't had its Chicken Tax[1] moment in history yet.

A Chevy Suburban seats up to 9 and has a curb weight of ~6,000 lbs on the upper end.

Context: I'm a data architect, and I work on HUGE datasets.

The answer to your question is "it depends". In this case, it depends on what you are trying to do with the data. First, here's a little back-and-forth of why you would use the different approaches, with a final thought at the end.

If the intent is to log data as a snapshot in time, and storage is cheap, then denormalize the data. Querying may be a bit slower, but depending on your software, it may be financially beneficial.

If the intent is to always show the most up-to-date information, then normalize the data. Depending on the complexity of your setup, normalization may be the simplest solution anyway.

Usually, denormalization takes place as a logging function, and normalization is used for indexed data.

If you will have a lot of real-time reads, use a normalized relational database.

If you will have a lot of writes, but relatively few reads, then go denormalized logging.

In my day-to-day job, we use 2 databases, one is normalized and one is denormalized, and the choice of which to use depends on what we are doing. Of course, our data is massive scale, so it may not apply to you.

If this is a small project, just use a normalized database. Don't overengineer it.
Whyyyyy... Why couldn't you let me live in blissful ignorance?
(if I was solving a real pain point, ppl would have been much more responsive).

I would not bet on the veracity of this statement. There are lots of reasons why people might not respond, even though you are addressing a legitimate pain point. There's a reason why selling software is difficult. It could be as simple as you need to learn more about selling, of find a natural sales-person to partner with.

OTOH, it is possible that you missed the mark on your initial assessment and wound up having people tell you what they thought you wanted to hear, to avoid conflict, or for all of the other reasons people tell "innocent lies".

My advice would be to take a few days, read The Mom Test and The Four Steps to the Epiphany and maybe The New Solution Selling and then spend some time pondering what to do.

I think you should read up on what Dengism actually is. You seem ignorant of it and the theory and intentions behind it.

I'm surprised it worked, in the sense that they were able to harness market economics and capital accumulation without turning into a capitalist dictatorship like happened in the West. Even with the benefit of hindsight, I'm not sure how they managed to avoid that (there is still time for it to happen though!) but I'm happy for their success.

Pretty much what most of the rest of the world has to say about it, I suppose.

Author here. I noticed this tweet made it to Hacker News. (I didn’t even notice that another one did yesterday as well)

I don’t care about the views or clicks or “engagement” or “driving attention” or similar. I understand talk is cheap so I have asked dang to blacklist all tweets from my Twitter account (this URL) going forward on HN, which should significantly reduce such views and clicks.

The tweets are not editable, and I often type them out as I go. I shared this, for example, after talking with a current Googler who was very, very frustrated exactly because of this. I thought it’s an interesting angle, especially as I’m also a Domains customer.

“Sensationalist” is something I would definitely like to avoid. I used to “break” layoff news at tech companies the fall of 2022 (before or as they happened) which had very high “engagement” but sat increasingly poorly with me - and it did feel sensationalist - so I stopped doing all of this, regardless of anything I learn ahead of some other outlet sharing it. I’m happier for it.

I do have my own opinions and experiences with Google as a customer, going back all the way to the massive GAE price increases in 2011 when I was an early customer, and of course this contributes to my - necessarily biased - outlook.

There is also truth to Twitter takes often feeling sensationalist - brewity doesn’t help with nuance - and I don’t want to get more views/clicks/ “engagement” on any of these or contribute to “outrage.”

(By the way, thank you for an earlier criticism that I took to heart.)

For similar reasons, I left academia.

I joined academia for the pursuit of truth, and forth the glory of Knowing. But it turned out that academia doesn’t really do this anymore, it just sells itself as doing these things.

Academia is entirely a “reputation” system, as it turns out, from paper publishing to student-evaluations to “public rankings.” As it turns out, the capitalist marketplace must also contend with these issues, but imho (and somewhat counterintuitively), it does so somewhat more honestly.
It's not that you can't redistribute it, it's just that you can never continue because you are no longer receiving binary releases or subject to the GPL.
But the language that the compiler is written in doesn't really relate to the target system (ie WASM). Unless they're planning in running the Q# compiler itself in a WASM environment. Which in that case... why?
Do you remember those early years?
I was a freshman at the University of Washington in 1993 when the graphical internet was born. Crazy to think about those early days, given the ubiquity of the internet in almost every aspect of modern life. I (erroneously?) remember a "What's New" web page that listed every new site on the internet as they appeared. It was comprehensible back then, despite being insane now (and incomprehensible even 15 years ago).
Is this first-class/native support? Could you provide a link where I can read more?

I am interested in this, but came up empty the last time I looked into it.
Well, yesterday Youtube served me up an ad for an "AI" algorithmic trading service "only available to Canadians" and "backed by Elon Musk. It used "AI" generated audio and video of Musk to peddle an unregistered securities trading firm that tries to prey on the uninformed.

That video is clearly disinformation / misinformation. There is zero chance that video would be played on a conventional broadcaster. Why? They have to be accountable for the content they put in front of viewers. Conventional broadcasters have to participate in advertising standards councils and answer to regulators.

On the other hand, platforms are unaccountable and unwilling to act in the public interest. Profit trumps all. The average person has no idea how to record an ad that was just shown to them by a "platform". That video that was in the corner of the webpage that turns out to be scammy? Ooops, you scrolled too far or used the back button and it's now gone.

There's a large swath of problems online that are clearly misinformation and / or disinformation. Nothing is going to improve on this front so long as "platforms" are wholly unaccountable to the general public. And we're running blindly forward into making this far, far worse before anything will change now that generative AI lowers the bar to produce bullshit that looks convincing on the first pass.

Big tech disappoints me to no end.
