I want Go to remain simple but having written a hell of a lot of code in Go that needs to iterate over a stack whose size cannot be computed ahead of the iteration, I can confirm that writing such code in Go does get very complicated very fast. There are a lot of footguns to take into account:

- how do you acknowledge the end of a stack?

- how do you cancel the operation mid iteration?

- how do you make it thread safe?

- how do you make fast?

The proposal here simplifies these concerns and thus makes it easy to write and use iterators. It makes it easier to read iterators too. And it does so without adding hacks to the standard library.

This is one of those instances where the proposal might seem to add complexity but actually it simplifies the code a lot (unlike generics, for example, which complicates the syntax of your code in its effort to dedup lines of code. To be clear, I’m not being critical against generics here. Just using that as an example to show contest).
I'm much more concerned about this kind of thinking which I hope it reflects the HN bubble and not the world generally. Particularly the conflation of something happening as part of a computer program with the real world. As well as the fallacy of "something bad could be invented and even though I don't understand how or see any path to it, I'll pretend current unrelated technology is related and fearmonger about it." This seems to be an education issue.

It confuses me how if people speculate about some stuff, say vaccine or disease research, and suggest that it could lead to something bad, they're conspiracy theorists or deniers or whatever (possibly with reason). But if someone literally just makes up some "terminator bad" nonsense based on their own ignorance there's some hushed reverence.
I think that there's something else at play - mostly two major factors:

- real estate agencies push for return to office(as they own a lot of office space that's now empty)

- Turns out.. you don't need so many middle managers - without their direct oversight everything just kept working fine. So now you have internal vested interest in return to office for people in power.
It's still a trade off, then all your pointer arithmetic has to be adjusted instead; which do you do more? int arithmetic or pointer chasing?
The package targets deno. It can be imported directly without using any package manager.
maybe they will cancel each other ?
This will all pass. Take a look at YouTube. Plenty of westerners visiting (and even living in, raising their families) in those places still.
>>> Yes we did. And that worked as intended. The alternative was to wait years and years, helplessly, while people die of covid, while it evolves to be less severe.

I think OP is referring to second-order effects, which seems fair in this context.
That is not the case unless you're talking about the underlying raft protocol.
The economics changed: up until that point the government would pay feed-in tariffs for solar. In 2019 they stopped that scheme, so the value to the actual owners of the panels dropped past the point where they could install them "for free".

The price of panels has dropped since then, but I have to assume that it's not by enough to make resurrecting the idea worthwhile.
We’re getting the worst possible universal healthcare at the maximum cost.

I've used tRPC and Next.js for a couple of personal projects and it's been a great experience. Hard to beat on iteration speed, especially when used with a pre-configured template like Create T3 App: https://create.t3.gg/.
Well, neutron bombardment from fusion means you get some radioactive isotopes. It's not as bad as spent fuel but still something to avoid.

But that doesn't really matter. This is expensive technology you don't want to blow up. Yes, more expensive than rockets.
That sounds like a completely different beast of a tool
At least for science books, authors get paid very little or nothing. And no researcher/teacher relies on that for their income.

I think the reduction/dropping of technology majors such as software engineering will make getting into WV Institute of Technology harder, due to more competition. It currently has a 68% acceptance rate, which is not low. I would be more ok with this is the money was being shifted to WV IT, so they could improve programs and support more students.

To even have a return-to-work policy one has to be a businese that was able to work from home in the first place. But a great many of us work in fields that never really had that option. So data about working from home being better or worse is inherently biased as it comes from only that subset of businesses that can easily make such a move. I propose that the people/jobs who can even consider the debate represent a minority and so any percieved advantages should not be automatically applied to all. No blanket statements.

I say this at 0530 saturday morning as i check my email before driving to my office. (No busses in my town on a saturday morning.)
I feel like it's more like saying, we should build an airport here, because it's near a city and in a good location, and the land is cheap because no one else wants it for a number of reasons and this is the only thing that practically makes sense to go there.

It's not going to save a meaningful amount of money. But that doesn't mean it's a bad idea.
He never said "I got hit by a bull"

It could be the case that he crashed into a farm and killed a bull and now the farmer is about to kill him with a shotgun.

Which according to the author is secondary information.
I think the Git problem that needs solution is, ahem, the problem people solve with extra tools when using Git? That is, forges (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, …).

Issues, PR discussions, &c need to be managed with the code (questions like “is issue #769798 fixed in branch xxx?” need to be answerable, code review discussions are almost as valuable as commit messages). Code needs to be actually distributed (forges introduce centralization). Local development should be possible.

Patch theory is nice, but ultimately produces only a moderate improvement.

I really like Fossil’s sensibilities.

Then you might have the same problem there so you end up "toilet hunting" (if you're lucky and your company has multiple floors) which is mind bogglingly time inefficient.
Brilliant short essay that captures the maturity changes and challenges.
That drives up costs because you have to maintain many gigawatts of backup capacity sitting idle most of the year. It's better to have more flexible solutions that provide value the whole year. That's either baseload (fission, fusion) or grid-scale, seasonal storage (unsolved problem).
Japan Earthquake Alert App Says Sayonara to X
Yes, the anecdote is not a good example. "The bull is dead" is tragic but irrelevant. It would be like "Milestone 4 missed. Joel is gone". Who's Joel? Is he on vacation? Did he quit? Was he fired for causing the missed milestone? Is he dead?
No, OCaml compiles polymorphic functions once by using an universal representation of values which tends to play better with a type system with recursively polymorphic functions, higher-rank polymorphism or existential types (which all imply that concrete types are not always known statically in OCaml).
I recently moved in to a new office, centrally located in Malmö (which is an incredibly easy to navigate city by bike, foot or public transport).

However, my company is remote first, and when I saw there was a conference room I didn't even think twice about the fact that I would put a large conference table in there and the best A/V equipment that I could afford.

Then I went to Paradox's leaving drinks[0] and met a founder of Frictional Games[1]; they too are remote first but from long before the pandemic, and had a lot of people asking for advice.

I was no different and asked what he learned; He told me, in no uncertain terms, (and without prompting about what to do with my new conference room- merely what worked well for him): that a conference room no matter how well equipped creates implicit asymmetry in meetings.

When I thought back on my career, I realised he was completely right. I have used some truly excellent video conferencing solutions (those big Microsoft TVs that fully integrate with Teams- JAMF boards, the best that logitech as to offer), but it was always more friction than it was worth, and often there was a recap once the "meeting" was over IRL anyway.

So that room is now a relaxing area.

Yes, Zen 2+ can execute 4 two-operand LEAs per cycles (according to Agner Fog), and apparently Sapphire Rapids can execute 5 LEAs of any 32/64-bit kind per cycle (according to Intel).
It almost feels like the "efficiencies of scale" you get from large organisations (e.g. specialised people for recruitment, people matters, quality assurance, user research etc.) are not really efficiencies. Perhaps it's better to grow the organisation by repeatedly cloning the smallest effective team you ever had, rather than creating a more "efficient" organisational structure. How those "mini-companies" communicate with each other efficiently -- another matter.

This is particularly amusing to me as I sit in bed, right now, at 6 AM on a Saturday morning, having just figured out how to do something and done it in an isolated staging environment, after bouncing ideas of a co-worker in another time zone who happened to also be online and thinking about it right now.

And if the idea of working on a Saturday morning at 6 AM sounds toxic, I also logged off at 2 PM yesterday to spend the afternoon with my wife, who'd come home early from her office, and went to sleep by 8 PM, so it's not like I'm hustle culturing it working 80 hour weeks. I just happen to like early mornings.

So suck it, dumbass CEOs.

This kind of thing has existed forever. Cars are starting to do it, too, as it gets cheaper to make them all the same and disable some features in software.

HEVs also use only about 50% of the battery to reduce wear on it (go from 30 to 80 charge, no more).

Native americans died mostly of disease brought by the immigrants from Europe. This decimated their populations more than guns.
it does, generally the deeper lithium ion batteries are discharged, the higher the likelihood of dendrites forming on the anode.

basically the more time that is spent not in the fully discharged state, the longer li-ion will last.

(this doesn't mean you want to leave it 100% charged either, that can also damage the pack; if leaving for extended non-use, leaving it at ~50% state of discharge is the generally recommended advice)
Beaver deceivers work to minimize their impact on the local environment. They specifically work against all the one thing beavers really provide: beaver ponds. Eliminating or minimizing those ponds directly denies the benifits beavers provide to the landscape.

Not evil, just ignorant.

I’m an engineer, I work with engineers. As a profession, we tend to lack EQ and real understanding of social issues.

A lot of the bad decisions that have had an outsized impact on society were naive decisions made by tech companies out of that ignorance.

They'll have to deal with addiction eventually. As with things like clickbait, they can build immunity with exposure.

Near unlimited screen time, except after lights off at night. Scale it back hard when they show signs of addiction - refusing to shower, refusing to stop watching when asked, not doing homework. Usually that means no devices for a week or so.

Why does mommy and daddy get screen time after dark? Because we get up at 5 AM, shower, brush teeth, cook breakfast. If the kids want more time, then they should get up early and get ready for school.

There is one TV. It goes to the kid with the most "points". Points are earned with good deeds, basically cleaning up, wearing seatbelts, etc, and reset at the end of the day.

TV time isn't always a win. The ones who don't get the TV will usually go out for a walk with daddy, cook together, kick a ball, play PC games, or something actually fun. Sometimes it ends up with the kid without TV priority calling unfair - the intent is showing them that even though they can get work hard and earn the luxuries, it doesn't always make them happy.

However, what they watch is heavily monitored. Most of the stuff on YouTube are junk by default. Avoid professional streamers, who usually tend to be hyped up, swear often, and exaggerate anger. Kids tend to pick up these habits.

Avoid the games designed for addiction. Usually things with microtransactions and no ending. Let them play the bad/lazy stuff though, those are good for building immunity.

It works out as planned. They enjoy it as a family activity, but most of the time they're drawing stickers, playing ball, building cardboard planes, the usual kid stuff.

The writing has been on the wall.

They're burning $50M loss last quarter which is mind blowing considering they had a monopoly originally. Michael raised too much money and let everything go to his head and his leadership. The internal chatter I hear is pure technical folks know this is a terrible choice, but "leadership" is so pressured and desperate given the economic headwinds they're trying to cut out any competitors building on top of their success. They refuse to believe their paid offers are just not good enough.

Hashicorp had lost nearly all it's value in the space.

Terraform, terra..what? Pulumi is starting to gain momentum as the long term winner in the space.

Nomad, K8s is mostly destroyed their future outside of some very specific cases around smaller deployments and frequent disconnects with the control plane.

Vagrant, docker RIP.

Consul, coredns and the main reason to use it for service discovery is gone with any of the cloud providers versions like ECS or K8s.

Vault, Pulumi chipping away at the main reason why people buy it which is dealing with TFs lack of encrypting each value in the state file. There are still spots where Vault wins (but open source is all that is needed) such as issuing out temp credentials off of a "root credential".

Packer, lack of overall community adoption even though in automation with hardware it is incredibly needed. Piss poor documentation and experience when getting started with it.

Rest of the services I've never looked at because there hasn't been a gap with a lack of a winner already. License change just means company is dead in my future choices anyways.

Ask HN: What is your preferred domain registrar?
I'd really appreciate some recommendations for a good domain registrar. A few years ago I bought two domain names on Epik.com. I only chose them because a friend of mine had been using their services for a few years without issue, and had a referral code. Recently I've been really unimpressed with their lax security, poor management, and shady business practices. I'd like to move my domains to a new registrar, but I'm not sure who to choose. Any recommendations would be really appreciated!
No it isn't. It's a transactions-focused DBMS that's no good for analytics. Orders of magnitude slower than available solutions and another order of magnitude or so slower than the academic state of the art, last time I checked (which admittedly was a few years back).
> they would have approached their plans differently if they had a better understanding of what their employees wanted

They knew what their employees wanted, they just didn't anticipate consequences. Aside from it almost being impossible to not have noticed everyone's opinion on this, if a manager actually doesn't know what their employees want maybe they should try to communicate with them? Or, more realistically, not willingly ignore them.

> The article mentions the Cochrane Review which rigorously concluded the opposite.

Do you mean this one?

"Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that 'masks don't work', which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation.

It would be accurate to say that the review examined whether interventions to promote mask wearing help to slow the spread of respiratory viruses, and that the results were inconclusive. Given the limitations in the primary evidence, the review is not able to address the question of whether mask-wearing itself reduces people's risk of contracting or spreading respiratory viruses."

9 out of 10 will fail before they need to scale
I don't understand the conclusion.

According to the article, we currently emit 2.1w/sqm in greenhouse gasses.

If we had 10x energy and it was all fusion - it would be 0.4w/sqm.

This sounds like a massive improvement.

Additionally, I'm highly skeptical we'll be using 10x the energy in 100 years - when there's likely to be significantly less people, and everything is getting more efficient.

Sounds like the same argument that China is going to continue growing 10% per year for the next hundred years, because it did for the last 30 years. No. China's workforce is going to decline massively. It will be so much harder for them to grow at the same rate, it would take a real miracle to keep growing at that rate.
They are not, but HR / hiring managers are keyword based and won’t entertain the idea of hiring someone with the wrong experience. See also: https://versastudio.com/blog/if-carpenters-were-hired-like-p...
Generally yes. I typically prefer just being in my boxers at home. No shirt or pants. Always strip down to that the moment I get home too.

Many times if I needed to be on camera I'd only put on shirt long enough to be on camera and make sure my camera was positioned high enough that if I stood up. My boxers wouldn't be seen. Buy even then it did happen from time to time.
I think in a wider sense this is good for writing as well. A lot of texts (including the linked one) start with some elaborate yet tangential anecdote and then takes a meandering path toward some conclusion.

I prefer to open with a single sentence that captures what I want to say, longer than the title but very much self-contained, and then to elaborate on why that is. It both serves to capture the reader and to turn away readers that weren't interested anyway.
It’s certainly true that the state has different behaviour when ruled by the working class (like in China, Vietnam, Cuba) vs the capitalist class (like in most other countries).

That doesn’t necessarily mean everything is centrally planned vs everything is a market. A variety of approaches can be used to satisfy the interests of the ruling class, within the constraints they have.

So in China there is definitely state intervention to ensure there are enough good jobs. But that can also mean speeding up development and automating so the jobs are better, while creating new jobs by producing new things society needs or wants.
I think a lot of complexity from optimizing databases would go away if incrementally computed materialized views were widely available.

The same governments who told you that Snowden is a traitor, Assange is a hostile intelligence agency, the Iraq war was because Hussein was behind 9/11, and that he had WMD, are now very concerned about protecting you from disinformation from social media.

They also want backdoors in your crypto on all your communication devices, so they can better protect you.

It's quite scary how well government smear and disinformation campaigns work.
