Imo, rewriting the code isn't the only prohibitively difficult problem. Replacing the very advanced development tools C++ has seems almost impossible, and so far no competitor to C++ has come very close, and it's a moving target. You can debug template instantiations over the GDB remote protocol, you can print out an AST and make queries on it (much richer than Tree Sitter), you can generate a perfect callgraph (understands templates, overloads, and macros) with no effort, you can get suggestions for source code optimizations at the IR bytecode level, every hex editor or whatever can demangle C++ symbols, you can print out the ABI of any polymorphic class or use a bin introspection tool to do the same in reverse, you can organize template compilation errors into one of several easily navigable GUIs, you can JIT C++ code in a REPL or a debugger and place breakpoints on templates or overload sets or exceptions, you can extend linters and compilers with plugins, and C++ has some of the most advanced static analyzers of any language (not just systems level ones).

The closest overall in tooling IMO is Rust, but it's currently missing a lot of the above, and very many C++ abstractions cannot be elegantly expressed in Rust due to limitations in generics, const functions, the orphan rule, and a lack of C++-like functor structs.
With a microkernel model, most of those drivers would run in user space, not kernel space. So it's possible for the device drivers to be large but the GNU HURD kernel itself to be much smaller than the Linux kernel.
Have you had any issue with Phind not pulling up the right documentation?

Well said. Zoom thinks we are not talking about the terms of service as it pertains to a particular feature and not their entire rights moving forward.
A building I worked in had multiple tenants. My (now former) employer leased five of the six floors, but the big sign on the building advertised a company that had half of the first floor at most. Obviously they were willing to pay more money for advertising rights.
LOL. "Sam Altman" is not trying to upend governments. It's the opposite. Him and his ilk are trying to interface with governments in such a way that they can use the legal violence of a government to streamline the integration of their systems (schemes) into the public's life. Sam Altman wants to use the same play book that pharmaceutical and defense industry's use (regulatory crony capitalist capture). This is not "tech bro" mutiny this is -- probably -- the first of many crony capitlist (BlackRock\Ratheon\Etc\Etc) attempts at duplicitous digital currency.
Great Britain actually did this regularly. For hundreds of years they would war all over europe until they ran out of money, make up some scheme to refill the coffers (including eventually inventing the central bank and other shenanigans with the "South Sea" bubble), and then go back to war in europe.
I figured the statement "most of the country" applied to most of the country. If we mean "the most population dense parts of the country" I'd gladly concede the point.
I've been working on this thing(https://entropyandsons.com/products/fr4xtal) for about 4 years and it's almost done. It's a video synthesizer that uses pixel shaders and complex analysis to make interactive art. My Instagram act (https://instagram.com/entropyandsons) has a bunch of media.
I built a timber-framed 12x16 barn with a cedar shingle roof with almost no experience. Mostly I read one book and, by strange chance halfway through, an interested person (who loves timber framing) saw me working in my driveway and decided to teach me several things and aid my technique, and supervise the raising process.

Late this year I will plant 2000 tulips and daffodils as part of a rose garden I am planning, that begins in earnest next year. I hope it will look nice enough to turn some heads.
Show HN: Graffiti, Hyper-Local Anonymous Message Boards (No App Required)
Hello HN!

I'm Phil, the creator of Graffiti - A web-based hyper-local anonymous message board (think YikYak but with no app required and the frontend aesthetics of Craigslist). It's meant to be pretty lightweight and run on almost anything with a browser and basic location services. It's built mostly in Python and Svelte, and currently running on a small Ubuntu VM + Postgres DB.

I originally started this project to leave geo-located comments for my brother and his friends around town since we all were fans of long meandering walks. I saw some friends-of-friends leave posts as well so I started to add additional features like:

-Replies: Start your message with "@@post_id" to get added to a thread below the parent post.
-Hashtags: Use a URL like https://graffitihere.com/#parks to see only comments including #parks.
-Distance filters: Currently Graffiti supports sorting distances between 400M and 5KM, though I'd like to build better ways to support more granular radii and other geo-based options.
-Tripcodes (optional): Use an imageboard-style tripcode to identify yourself to friends and build a reputation without having to keep the same username.
-Basic Search: Search the text of a post, username, or tripcode to filter posts.

There's plenty more to work on, and I'm really interested in what HN thinks would be useful features to prioritize next.

Most people probably won't see many posts outside major cities like Boston, New York, DC, etc. but we're always looking for new use-cases and to see how people interact with Graffiti so I encourage playing around!

Here's a simple Google slide deck with some getting started tips and tricks: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1FoXLiVXbrPOgQA08g-CE...

I'd love to hear your feedback on Graffiti! I'm happy to discuss any comments here, but feel free to send an email to GraffitiHQ@protonmail.com to chat with me directly. Thanks!
Probably so, even though that argument is absurd.

"look at all the great non microtransaction filled games you can play"

"...if you happen to own those consoles"

Those games are only available if you own that specific exclusive platform, not to the general public on any mainstream platform, so are niche on purpose. They're not really available without an investment into a specific platform.

so in the discussion of 'look at all these amazing non microtransaction filled games' adding ones that require I spend $300-500 on their platform is relevant.
This works if you pair the message with a Texas icon like Willie Nelson. Maybe today those redneck bastards that keep tossing their trash from their trucks into the ditch in front of my property would keep in their trucks for the last two miles to their houses if a native Texas gal like Miranda Lambert delivered the message.

It's worth a try.
Whether you should quit your job versus working in an organization guilty of ‘moving the goalposts’ planning are orthogonal decisions IMO.

You can theoretically still find your work meaningful even if your at-present leadership appears rudderless.

That is, unless you are a release engineer. Then I would quit.
This is fair, but I have to note, a little out of date for startups which can be 100% remote to the point of founders not having a home city, let alone one stable, secure place to stash a backup.

Yes, safety deposit boxes. Yes, family, yes friends. Yes, attorneys.

But also what I said initially.
The "American Empire" ended with the Philippines' independence in 1946. It's easy to proclaim the demise of something that never actualy existed. The claim is always that America had this vast empire by using its power to influence the word economy and other countries decisions. But that isn't an empire. The evidence is that when these countries become more developed the "empire" immediately "collapses." So was that an empire? Certainly not a classical case of an empire. It seems like these people want there to have been an American Empire just so that they can say it collapsed.

On Rome, the issue of Rome wasn't that Romans were poor, far from it. The source of the Roman Emperor's power was by feeding Egyption wheat to the Romans.[0] If the author is looking for a cause to the fall of Rome, one explaination is that the people chose to exchange thier freedom for government subsidized food. They pretended that the Princeps ("first among the equals") had thier intrests in mind, while the system slowly eroded an collapsed over the course of 500 years. Over that time, the traditional Roman ethic of responsibilty, the one that made them reject Monarchy, was replaced by neglect and indifference. This said, boiling down the fall of the Roman Empire to one dimension is foolish anyway.

Oh wow. I've been using Phind and loving it, but I was thinking that you should integrate it with the editor. And then that's exactly what you did. This looks incredible.

But, I gotta say I'm a bit upset about the privacy issues raised above. It sounds like that was an honest oversight, so I hope it gets sorted out soon. I have to wait until then to use the extension. I think I can live with searches being out in the open (even if I don't like it) but I can't risk exposing any local code, even if it's supposedly impossible to find.

Try quantifying the effect they had on society at undermining authority and the cohesion of society. Opinion polls didnt exist back then.

Harsh environmental conditions where its generally colder, like a mini ice age, is going to up root people, force migration, lower crop yields, more hunger, more violence, more lawlessness.

Its one of the reasons why the Stradivarius violins were sought after, the colder climate resulted in less tree growth, tighter tree rings and it altered the sound of musical instruments of the day[1]

There were also alot of extreme weather events during this little ice age.

IF you read this book https://www.google.com/search?q=little+ice+age+brian+fagan
in it, Fagan asserts there was an earthquake down in Avignon which people took to be a sign of god, which forced the catholic church to relocate with its tail between its legs. I dont know how true that is, there is nothing online I can find, perhaps an example of an entity managing its online reputation.

In that book, he also asserts an innuit paddled up one of the rivers of one of the city's in Scotland, he claims to have got this data from reading old newspapers of the time.

Just like he got information on crop yields from old monasteries, country estate owners and others who kept records, any record made back in that time. I got the impression it took him a long time to compile the data, to arrive at the narrative he espouses.

Its an interesting read, and you'll see how weather can destabilise any country very quickly, especially with todays level of communication and stuff going viral around the world, but also how these events build and build over time, changing culture. Even today the French dont take 'non' for an answer, when you see farmers blockading the ports and Eurotunnel, or rioting on the streets over the pension age.

If you dont know the history, you wont realise the significance of the events you watch unfolding on the news today.

So my point is, the artistry is a depiction of the time, its meta data, especially if you know some of the winter scene pictures were painted in June or Sept!

Does that point shock you?

It makes you question it because it goes against your agenda. Also it’s against the hacker news rules to assume I’m lying.

Also it’s a long con since I’ve been talking about her since she was born, here on Hacker News. But thanks for being rude.
I read all the books (decades ago? has it been that long?) and I'm sure I've seen some of the movies on flights I'm just not into roleplaying it.
Isn’t the issue more specifically that not having brakes to abort lowers V1, which is the speed at which abort is no longer an option?
I like the Biden stickers. :D Shutting down the pipeline out of Canada during his first week in office and promising to be hard on oil companies made all the oil related businesses go into turtle mode. It's basic cause and effect.
Just wow. I agree with the other comments, the UI is not only snappy but also very intuitive.

There's a developer, much better than me, putting his soul into this, that's for sure.

Even building an MS Paint clone in the browser that has good UX on desktop as well as mobile is not an easy task.

I'm happy to have clicked (tapped) the link now that it has 8 comments. Wonder why I only read the headline 15 minutes ago.
How do I scale proportionally. Typically this is done with the ctrl or shift key while dragging the corner.
It's more that intent was irrelevant than any intent should be presumed.

Word meanings drift and we update as we go. That doesn't mean the previous author was evil; it means they were writing in a different context and the context is defunct. Especially for a living document like the documentation of a still-used tool, modifying word choice to avoid unintended negative connotation is wise.
Yes, but shouldn't I be making more even money by using these services to optimize those other things? If, say, Calendly helps me get booked for appointments, appointments that wouldn't have happened without that app, then isn't that spending money to make money?
Some of the complaints in the article are certainly valid (why would there be early-return in the context of computation expressions, but not in ordinary functions?), but some I claim are actually features, and some are false.

* Linearly ordered files. Several times in F# I have tracked down an issue simply by bisecting the codebase, which is impossible in C# because there's no meaningful way to halve the code. I think I've only once ever had a problem with the linear ordering that wasn't solved simply by reordering some files.

* Explicit type conversions. I've only ever found this awkward when interfacing with C# code that is designed around C#'s extreme laxity. Explicit is better than implicit!

* "No struct tuples" is false - that's what the `struct` keyword is for. (It may have been true when the article was written.)

* Dot notation for indexing is now no longer necessary.

It's certainly true that OO idioms are often clunky and feel strangely like they were constructed by Frankenstein, but then I almost never find myself trying to use them anyway. You don't notice oddities in features which you never think of using! Similarly, the number of times I use `<-` is so low that I don't think of it as being incongruously odd - why shouldn't there be a baroque syntax to indicate the place in your code that's likely to have a 50% higher chance of bugs?
This isn't how any of this works. It doesn't matter how little of an area of the monitor your focusing on. You still need to generate an equivalent DPI over that area in the headset to match the monitor. Which you can't do since the headset has fewer physical pixels than the monitor does.
Intel themselves do seem to offer downloads, eg https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/installation.html & https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/oneapi/installa... - it's not outside the realm of possibility to have some kind of installer app there.
@gone35 When stealing content at least attribute the source https://twitter.com/predict_addict/status/168820717739827609...
It says "we ask", not "you have to". I'd say it's open to interpretation that this is an informal request and not legally binding. Also I do want to open the can of worms and say that whoever doesn't even have the respect to include a citation on request when using someone else's work should just write everything themselves.
Maybe you should read my comment they're replying to.
> I’m not sure how anyone can hate Kafka?

My experience has been that such a question has two implied audiences in it: those who consume Kafka and those who have to keep the PoS alive and healthy

The whole ambiguity around whether ZK is really still needed or not <https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#zk> makes keeping two distributed systems alive and healthy, but don't worry you can't move your production clusters off of it anyway <https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#kraft_zk_migration>. It's a mess
For my kids, at least (ages 5-12), "clicker" games are all the rage right now, as well as repetitive mining and harvesting in Minecraft.
Look up the numbers!

Best selling minivan: Chrysler Pacifica... 203 inches long, 80 inches wide, 70 inches tall The larger version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, already one of the largest crossovers?

204 inches long, 78 inches wide, 71 tall.

The weight in either case is about the same, 4400-4900lbs depending on options.

It's not that minivans have gotten bigger... it's just that they were already HUGE, to the point where even SUVs are smaller.
Both are IIUC substantially smaller than the typical minivan, and the recent CR-V redesign especially looks bigger than it is. Honda also has the HR-V, which is a smaller crossover thing with much stronger classic hatchback vibes; not sure if Toyota sells anything similar.
Especially macOS. Generally I feel like it's way easier to avoid the terminal on Linux since there are GUI apps for most stuff.
It's probably par for the course. Networking is an area that's always felt like shifting ground. Anytime I need to spin up a machine with WoL or (rarely) need to edit something at the conf level, it's always a software archeology project, trying to figure out what the new hotness is, where the system vs user config is under the new networking package, grokking the new config syntax/options, and what supercedes if/when multiple networking packages exist on the same host.

Knowing the reality, looking at the domain name, given the title, and that it starts off:

> It is time to revisit of the simple wifi setup as much has changed [in a year]

I am led to believe this is satire.
> Credit card debt hit $1 trillion for the first time on record

Careful folks, I think this is a headline designed to grab attention while not meaning much.

Specifically, I don't think that was adjusted for inflation and population growth, which means nobody did any due-diligence to ensure the number represents a significant new high record.

The graph of source data [0] doesn't suggest either of those factors were considered, and the last peak in 2020 of 0.858t would be (after inflation) something like 1.015t now, so we haven't yet "caught up" to that prior peak.

I mean, FFS, imagine that on January 1st a bunch of news outlets exclaim "2024 NOW THE LARGEST A.D. YEAR IN RECORDED HISTORY!" Technically true, but c'mon, seriously?

FWIW, I'm using a 1920x1080 14" screen when not on a 4K 28" screen. Both with almost identical pixels per degree. (They are identical dot-pitch, but I don't use exactly the same viewing distance for laptop vs desk...)

I would be absolutely aggravated to work at half the linear resolution. I would tolerate it for some fast-paced game as a practical tradeoff for framerate, but not for text or static image viewing.

I have seen a 16" 4K laptop and considered it overkill or even impractical, i.e. pixels are too small to resolve and naively scaled icons or text are unreadable without a magnifier. But my usual screens described up top are above that threshold for me, and I can resolve single pixel gaps much of the time.
That page almost looks like anyone can submit a message. That's a pretty good idea.

I think the message has a more positive impact if it emphasizes positive things or uses humor. Texas, with their focus on depressing stats with no context, loses out by alienating drivers.

TL;DR: "Damnit, we don't need more housing! We need hand wavey arguments about the injustice of the current system with no actionable solutions! That way the value of the home I bought in 1980 can keep going up and I can keep feeling smug and morally superior without actually doing anything!"

Places that build enough housing to keep up with demand have lower prices. Denying this simple fact is willful ignorance on the same level as the crap you hear from the far right about womens' reproductive health. "Housing prices aren't related to supply" is on the same level as "a woman can't get pregnant from rape."

Hate to be so blunt and combative but we're going on two generations being economically ruined by NIMBY-driven real estate hyperinflation. No, housing has never been perfect but it was far more affordable 25 years ago before the post-2000 housing bubble that never really came back to Earth.

From what I've read Canada is much worse than the US since housing prices are similarly high but salaries tend to be lower.
dysfunctional politics may actually be a positive. Stalin and Hitler were very effective politicians , and look where that ended
