That is mischaracterization. Rust has been intended to be able to incrementally integrate to C/C++ codebases, of course most significantly integrating Rust/Servo components to Firefox/Gecko.

People are paying 1.66x precovid flight costs right now in all classes. Business to Europe from Australia on the majors can exceed $15,000. There would be a market for speed: first and business class already pay a premium to get Perth London as a 16+h direct to save at most 2-3h on the Sydney London "kangaroo route" -total journey time is still around 22h.

Now, put refuelling stops in, but get total flight time down to 16h or better, and from Sydney not Perth and with hub based hookup options outside of LHR.

Here's the hypothetical concord route plans albeit briefly at mach 2+ (supersonic was banned across much of the planned route)

You should at least use it in for loops. It's a useful improvement, and especially handy in combination with type inference. For example:

for var i := 1 to 10 do
Inc (Total, i);

i is declared inline, it's only in scope inside the for loop, and the type is inferred from the bounds of the loop. You could of course use "for var i : Integer := 1 to 10 do" if you wanted to be explicit about the type.

Most people on HN don't have any vested interest in the success or failure of BlueSky. That's a good thing. It means we can actually give our honest opinions rather than equivocate in order to prop up a dead project in a kind of virtual recreation of Weekend at Bernie's.

Honestly, even without Threads I would not bet on BlueSky to be the winner in this space or even to be viable. The team got really lucky having the right product at the right time, and failed completely to capitalize on it. Or actually worse, they seemed to not even try to capitalize on it. Even trying and failing would have been bette.r

I care about crypto (in both senses of cryptography and cryptocurrency), but the amount I care for this conversation is admittedly beginning to wane. There was already another thread where someone cited a source and then went back and forth with you for a bit about the source's potential biases. If you really wanted to estimate the energy consumption yourself, thus verifying all the sources, here's what you could do:

* Sync a copy of the Ethereum blockchain. It should be pretty straightforward to tell if you have a good copy, because that's like, blockchain's whole "thing".

* Pick out the "difficulty" field in the last proof-of-work block header, then divide it into the hashrate and power consumption of typical mining hardware at the time. This gives you the "before" consumption figure.

* Pick out the total number of validators in the latest proof-of-stake block header. Remove validators that share withdrawal addresses, as they are run by the same entity and likely all run on a single piece of hardware (or few).

* Multiply that number of validators by the typical hardware power consumption of an i5 desktop computer with an SSD, which is likely what most of them are running on.

I'll leave that as an exercise for you to not do.

> That any amount of electricity is being consumed or any amount of e-waste is being generated for the the gambling hobby horse of a small handful of already wealthy individuals is pretty fucking stupid imo.

As far as shitting on the GMU tools, I don't think I've seen someone do that in decades, especially just referencing the bottom of the man page like that.

As far as speed, I don't know how you're using these tools, but if gawk is your bottleneck and not i/o, there's probably smarter ways to do things.

This is not a productive conversation. You can live life however you want and if you're happy than I'm happy. We are definitely at an impasse. I'm off to bed.

There were other roles in the past which fulfilled the need for "mental checkup", even with less stigma: In particular, religious institutions. At some point, it was common that each village had a pastor. You could tell him about sorrows and grievances under assurance of secrecy and he would give you advice.

Of course the "theory" behind the advice was an entirely different one than modern psychology uses, but the social role was similar.
The probable reason they used an error handler for that "welcome" page is so that it would keep /var/www/html empty and any upgrades wouldn't try to replace an index.html or whatever you put there yourself. So it's a "hack" to serve a welcome page from outside the default DocumentRoot, not to force some kind status code. That status code is just a downside of this hack and not really of importance because whoever made it also knew it was going to be the first thing you remove when you want to use the webserver.

It's exactly the other way around. It's lay people using 'relative' to mean 'subjective'.

In philosophy, 'relativism' is sometimes short for 'cultural relativism' as in the case of moral or epistemic --- but relativism in this sense is short for one highly specific 'relative' relation (ie., a relation to culture).

And lay people use 'objective' to mean 'universal', which it doesn't. Cultural relativism is consistent with an objective metaethics.
C and C++ are everywhere.

Fixed that for you.

I tell everybody who cares to listen to learn C & C++. They are the common "glue languages" which underpin everything with a huge established ecosystem and gives you the ability to program anything and everything.

Contrary to what HN threads might lead you to believe, they are not that hard to learn and do not need you to become an "expert" in all aspects (i.e. dark corners) of the language. You will pick up the tricks/expertise when you need them.

I'm not arguing here what I did was better than a search, but that it's not some forbidden information. I often feel like complaints about what you can do with these things come from not knowing how to use them. It did also take virtually no effort.

A benefit is being able to ask questions though, you can see I proposed a specific idea and had it reply - you can delve more or less into that. Don't want a high level summary? Ask for more details on the part you're interested in. Want a higher level one or simpler one? Ask.

As things get less direct this gets better. I talked to it about projects for my son, narrowed down through different interests and got some great recommendations. One involved building a radio, which it then could explain at several levels of detail for children. That gets into "hope someone made a list and then go through loads for relevant things, lookup more detail from them then find several different resources for kid friendly explanations".
You have to think about these things when you have kids, how can you not? Especially during the pandemic, people were stuck in their houses with kids. It's almost impossible to get any work done with young kids in the house. Even as the pandemic was winding down we had so many restrictions at preschool that any little cold (of which every winter there is one every other week) meant staying home for about 7-10 days, which basically means one parent is busy taking care of the kid at all times. Add several kids with a rolling schedule of colds and stomach flu's and you have an untenable situation. You just can't have two parents working full time at that point, so someone has to sacrifice their career to some extent so that you can both stay sane. The pandemic was living hell for many families. And somehow the standards for how severe of a cold your kids can have before it's ok to send them to school have lowered permanently now, adding to the permanent pressures of parenting.

Communism (at least in an ideal Marxist form) has no relation to equity, it’s more of a liberal concept than anything else.

People use the term Communism (both upper-case and lower-case) in various ways nowadays, but Marx’s original ideal form of society was "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" The ultimate goal is to create an affluent productive society that can provide all amenities for all people, so they can unleash their potentials as individuals without being enslaved by capitalists as wage workers just to survive. And socialism is only an intermediate step before realizing this ideal state, socialism wasn’t intended to be ideal even for the leftists (In this sense communism has never been tried anywhere yet).

Compute power has never been an issue for me, but I generally try to max out the RAM as much as my budget allows. This is why I still have a 2010 Macbook that is more than fine. Started with 4GB and was barely usable for heavier even when it came out, but dropping 16GB into and it has been smooth sailing for over a decade now.

That said my daily runner is now T420 from (2011-ish) that came with 6GB of RAM that is in near mint condition I bought for $100. I swapped the HDD for an SSD and just threw Linux Mint on here - I disable the swap file so that it doesn't hammer the drive. So when it is 6GB of RAM - that is all it can work with but it has never been an issue.

But the original HDD was running Windows 7 and oh my gosh the bloat they had installed! This poor thing was in pain with that junk on board! It is amazing how many times I have had an old laptop come up, unusable because of how the OS treats the system and the users just keep dumping more on it that is reasonable. But swap the disk drive and OS and you would never recognize some of these things.

I once came across some netbook Toshiba Presario (?) - 1.4Ghz Core Duo with 3GB of RAM running Windows Vista. The poor thing! But do the old one two on it and it was a brilliant little machine for plucking away on, could easily get 6-7 hours on battery as well.

> Okay, and?

My primary reason for commenting was simply to add my anecdote. People tend to overvalue anecdotes, and I thought it unfair that my experience was not represented in the anecdotes already in the thread. So I added it. There was no "argument" present except to add perspective.

> Are you seriously arguing as someone that lives there that it’s not a shitshow?

As somebody who lives here, I do have my gripes. Commuter foot traffic has not fully recovered, and that has impacted local businesses and public transit significantly. I don't care too much about the Nordstroms of the world, but the smaller local businesses were hard hit, and that was tough, as many of my favorites went out of business. Homelessness and open drug use seems to have increased a bit, though it looks worse due to the lower foot traffic. It's always been a heartbreaking issue and so it's always been important to me to vote and donate in a way that I believe will help.

But like I said, I've had no issues with actual crime personally. I know that SF's violent crime rates are trending down. I know there's issues with car break-ins and some property crime, but again, nothing that I've experienced. If anything, when I walk outside my apartment, I'm far more worried about getting hit by a driver than I am about being a victim of that sort of crime. (Driving behavior seems to have gotten far more dangerous in the area since the pandemic)

As for the positives: the location is central to all SF public transit, so it's easy to visit all the excellent neighborhoods SF has to offer. Golden Gate Park in particular has improved dramatically since JFK was closed to cars, and it's easy to visit. The new T subway is excellent to get to Chinatown quickly! It's also easy to visit/commute to the greater Bay Area via regional rail. Chase Center and Oracle Park are conveniently located, so there's opportunities to go see the games. Not to mention that the area gets a nice vibe when the Giants are playing a home game. There's convenient access to the highway when you do need to drive. Despite the pandemic-driven small business closures, there have been new local businesses opening up that are real gems, so that's been exciting to see. The new Salesforce Park is absolutely beautiful too. And there's been recent facelifts to a lot of the local streets to make them more bike-friendly, which has been really welcome: it makes getting to the Ferry building (another great local perk) easy.

So I guess what I'm saying is: yes, there are ways that the area has gone downhill. But it started out great, and continues to improve in other ways, mostly ones that don't get flashy HN posts. So no, I don't think it's a shit show.
To be pedantic, we can "alter the sequence of colors" of a solved state into a solvable state, so it's not quite QED.

The x86-64 architecture was introduced in 1999, with the first processor introduced in 2003. Comparatively, the 8088, introduced in 1979, was barely older at the time than the 64-bit Opteron is now.

If something I read looks like I'll want to revisit it, and I save the page to zotero, which is where most of the note-taking, tagging, and organisation takes place.
Lastly I export my notes to LogSeq, which has zotero integration, so they can form part of my knowledge graph.
On iOS it would be nice to have the possibility to enter a fixed/fake position so apps like Google Transit or the Weather app just work, without the need to turn on GPS.
Absolutely. And of course when you start playing with xlookup you learn that "you cannot change part of an array". If you know, you know.
I actually think about this I’m entirely the opposite way. The moment all browser APIs especially the DOM become usable from WASM it’s over for JS and would no longer be the obvious choice as it’s suddenly not the only game in town and the hacks that were required before such as compile to JS for example stop mattering.
Monorepos put us in the blast radius of a lot of premature commits we could have avoided. I'd rather have a git submodule UI that isn't meant for aliens to operate, and use known-good dependencies.
Great point.

And even worse: after spending the time to infer what the user wants -- the software might guess wrong.

Therefore it probably makes sense to constrain the software's use cases -- either i/ to specific functions (e.g. product, eng)
or ii/ to specific roles across functions (e.g. management, support desk triage)

An added benefit of constraining use cases like this is that it's easier to market to a specific use case.
