I don't think it was a formal decision that got made at any point, so there wasn't any particular reason. When someone else started writing the actual spec he picked Ocaml. It ended up probably being the wrong choice in the short term (we had to reimplement 32-bit floats in software, and for a while we couldn't run the ocaml files on windows very easily) but in the long term it seems like it worked out OK.

I kind of wish we had used a theorem prover language of some sort though since we had the opportunity to do so. I didn't really have the chance to change things there since other people had higher seniority than me.

I'm not the person who asked, but I've always been curious what the "long pole in the tent" is for pypy updates. https://mail.python.org/archives/list/pypy-dev@python.org/ seems pretty quiet, the blog seems to be just announcements and not technical dives, and the 3.11 milestone ( https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/-/milestones/15#tab-issu... ) just has one issue

Please don't take this as "why u no faster?!" as much as I really would enjoy understanding what it takes to bring pypy up to cpython parity. I do see https://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/contributing.html#your-first-... says that pypy has a lot of layers and (I'd suppose) a fraction of the number of people compared to cpython's contributor base, but like I said it's hard to understand from the outside whether it's just a lot of rocks to break, or there are genuine novel optimization or computer science tricks that have to be solved when rolling out a newer version

Above all, thanks so much for your work on pypy - it has really helped me a lot and not from its speed but from my ability to use in in places where getting cpython to run is harder than "curl pypy.tar.bz2 | tar -xjf"
That's hilarious. "Evidence based"? What evidence for this unprecedented lockdown? China lobbying Italy to do the same as them?

Great article, although I don’t think the internet will get “Babelized” again as it was before, the only remaining monolithic platform (other than Twitter/Reddit) that still somehow holding itself is instagram, because it’s populated by brand-lusting shallow people, but I reckon it will be over for it soon.
The next era of social media is just the scattered niches populated and managed by smaller communities.

It was not built around any of that. It was built to facilitate compiler construction and add some introspection to that process. The problem is that building what is a compile and code generation library to cover multiple languages and multiple architectures is really hard. Abstractions start to get leaky. Next thing you know there are a bunch of assumptions and hacks that make you neat library a big ol’ mess.

I’m not faulting any of the llvm maintainers. Other people were hoping the IR and library bits would turn into more than a compiler toolkit. Unfortunately, reality sets in over time.
I am less inclined to agree with the FSF in that bourgeoisie who think they can hoover up innovations from the commons to build empires and oppress the masses should at least have to pay for the privilege. Thankfully I know I'm not alone in that appraisal, and the Gilded Age of Free and Open Source is coming to a close, as evidenced by projects like this getting a clue and so many robber barons being incensed that they have to actually pay for things they took for granted.

Evaluations from SpaceX employees needs the biggest grain of salt. Their jobs depend on a certain result and their boss is notoriously pushy.

Journalists are not scientists.

Did you mean FAA rather than FCA?

The FAA did ask SpaceX to do a lot of additional ground level items: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/13/faa-spacex-starship-environm...

The reviewers at th ed FCA were unlikely to be in the thousands, the rest mentioned I would completely discount.

The "crime" is that one person is not stopping to ask whether we should. There is a lot of hubris is there. Regardless, nobody should get a free pass to wreck the earth (but this is kittens, putting tons of C02 in the air is generally free, so... yeah...)

Looks like the biggest "green" issue is the rockets burns tons of fuel. Thd FAA review was a green light. This phenomena of punching holes was hopefully considered by the FAA (but at this point, can only hope that everything was at least considered)

> A single example chosen specifically because it is extreme isn’t the status quo,

This seems to be the lesson we're slow at learning.

A steady diet of extreme examples tends to shift one's perspective toward a bad position. The position is bad because it struggles to discern reality well - because bad inputs keep skewing the math.

It appears like the Neocons, previously associated with a war-philic faction of the Republican party has surreptitiously, through the Clintonite "third way" faction of the Democrat party, made vast inroads into the current Democrat party, in measure because of the Neocon opposition to non-interventionism which is associated with parts of the Republican right and also parts of the Democrat left. Off bedfellows but has become rather "mainstream" in both parties.

I casually clicked this and it is automatically translated according to your browser's language, it seems. So, since I opened it with the one I've set to Spanish, everything was auto-translated into Spanish.

The example table became weird. Words which are clearly loaned, appear as "Walkman <-> Walkman" which is rather stupid, but I guess is correct. But then, some words which haven't really adopted into the dictionary became things like "confusión <-> Peso welter" or even "occidental <-> occidental".

The joys of lurking or being a low-volume is when you follow some people and they do something interesting that you may have done, or you might have the little interesting data point. It sometimes happens you have published a paper on the exact topic but in another field, or you're wondering whether there's a connection to something you know.

It's an amazing way to reach very interesting people doing very interesting things and to be amazed almost every day (if you like to learn, or just like human ingenuity). It needs curating, and liberal use of blocking, muting... but having (or watching) a short conversation with a security expert, programming language warrior, database benchmarker, or HPC researcher is something I feel I couldn't do elsewhere.
Not trying to pick a fight but just posting because I hear this often from my friends, re birds being happy.

They can create a whole new narrative around anything and you reward people with some power that would subscribe to that new story.
I want it to be standardized and guaranteed that it works with every website and every browsers. E.g. if something like the `DNT: 1` header is set don't even show me a consent banner, only give me functional cookies. And a law that requires websites to do that. Then there is no need for an add-on that constantly has to play cat and mouse with all websites and that only is available for certain browsers.
When I lived in Berlin from 2009-2012 I was impressed by the pedestrian friendly infrastructure and found myself comparing it to America's. Berlin's system is certainly made with dignity: Trains, trams, and busses were always clean, and the people at that time were overwhelming quiet and polite. Bicycles never given a second glance. I never felt safer without a car.

Contrast to America where trains and busses where the level of danger is considerably higher, to a degree that it is dissuading to walk. Vehicles provide safety in an otherwise uncertain society.

I like this idea of dignity, but no matter how amazing a walking/biking infrastructure is, it is only as good as the behavior of the people who use it. Until busses, subways, trains, trams, streetcars, and just walking down the street is made safer and cleaner people will continue to stick to the safety of the cars

Ask HN: Best Getting Started with Sales Book?
Looking specifically for Enterprise Sales (IT services). What books / resources /courses helped you in getting started?

Am looking for guidance in this space. Please suggest, it’s urgent.
In my area of the forgotten flyover country, the options are:

1) Public school for free for middle-of-the-road (in our district) results, and be at the mercy of school-board politics,

2) Do Catholic school, and we agree with the religious particulars of the Catholic school near us, but it's expensive and they may be weak in STEM and global social studies,

3) Join a home-school co-op, and use the flexibility and extra time to get it all right and fill in any gaps.

I don't know what the right answer is, but 3 is looking increasingly good.

It’s even sadder that you feel the need to comment on someone else’s career as if you decide what is important or not in terms of human work and worth.

Cal has applied systematic and algorithmic thinking to the messy world of productivity annd life, and teaches unique frameworks to this day about how to pursue a life that is eudamonious and well lived.

It’s also distressing that you think that mathematics research is more important than your fellow man having a fulfilling career.
As I said, you're misunderstanding. The hash can only tell if your iris has been scanned before. It doesn't tie to your identity in any way. And there is no tie between your World ID and the activity on any website that uses an account generated from your World ID, because your wallet makes a new anonymous, private account for each platform.

Thanks for proving my point that virtually all criticisms stem from people misunderstanding or not putting in the effort to learn how it actually works.
It means malware can’t exfiltrate the SSH key from your machine and keep using it. But yes they can potentially use it while still on your machine depending on if presence confirmation or re-inputting a credential is required. But that still closes a big gap.

On a Mac secretive can also pop a notification making it more likely to passively observe such usage (not fool proof though) and the key can’t (easily, maybe with some complex exploit) be used from an app not signed by the original developer. It can also require re input of your password. That specific security probably isn’t possible on Linux though.

Rotating blades like this should never go beyond the critical Mach number where local airflow on the blade upper surface reaches Mach 1.0 (about Mach 0.8ish). The shockwaves that form are attached to the surface and like to shift around with slight changes in conditions, which cause awful vibrations. I'd expect the blades to be braked in some way to never exceed critical Mach number.
It’s not right now but it will be when combined with WEI or if Safari gains more market share. Overall, I agree with the sentiment expressed in this blog post: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-att...
> a real practical problem

It's not a real practical problem – and I'm not sure why we're pretending that it is one. Let's clearly state what the problem is: OP wants to play MMOs & online games against potential threat actors who may DDoS and/or doxx them. Which is why they simultaneously also want to shield their identity from them. An analogy would be somebody who wants to play games with the neighbourhood meth gang while not wanting to get stabbed.

This is not safe or reasonable behaviour. Even if these people lack a client IP, a motivated attacker can piece your identity together from what you say and/or post eventually. Discord just makes that a bit more difficult at the cost of you handing over PIID of greater importance.
yeah, like, the downside of not using your time efficiently when you're poor is you might not get to eat. Usually the poor work hourly, so they have a direct value assigned to their time.
Financially, I think they count a stream after 30 seconds, and they pay per stream, therefore they'd either want you to skip before 30 seconds (making it free for them) or otherwise spend the maximum time with the song (such that they only pay for 1 stream).

The most expensive way for you to listen to spotify is to skip the song every 31 seconds.
Thanks and yeah I thought that could be a possibility, but my understanding is that my phone wouldn't be able to receive any network data or SMS messages after such an attack and it's been working fine the last few days. I can reach out though because perhaps there's multiple ways to do it now.
It's fascinating to know that "focus stacking" is a thing that's possible and that there's an app to produce the stack... but at the same time it seems like waaay too much work.

If you're into precise photography to the extent you'd want to do this, it seems like you'd just be using a DSLR with an appropriate lens in the first place?

It reminds me of that trick where you can use a Brita filter to turn cheap vodka into "expensive" vodka, but it uses up your Brita filter in the process and it turns out it's more cost-effective (and smoother-tasting) to just buy the more expensive vodka in the first place.

In other words, just because you can doesn't mean it's a recommended workflow...

But, AFAIK, windmills wre immobilized when the wind gets too strong, in order to protect them. If the tech allows it, they can also be made to catch less window.

I think CFL's are the worst (so I am told, by a friend that does suffer of migraines), leds in a warm range 2700-3000K should be fine in most cases.

If the migraine is triggered by flickering, there are "special" flicker free bulbs, dimmers and power supplies/drivers (actually I think they make the flickering at a very high frequency, 1250 Hz or more instad of the "normal" 100-120 Hz).

I read that there are glasses with special lenses that may help, but of course it depends on the specific case, I know that there also filters (to be applied to lighting fixtures) but I have not any experience with them.
