My gut feeling is that it will just wrap everything inside of JS objects, and then reuse the JS GC. But then performance would be nearly identical to writing the same things in JS.
This feels more like a tool that arrests creativity before it can even put its shoes on.

This part of the article seems to suggest that charging a flat rate that includes the base price plus the maximum possible taxes and fees would be allowed: "'A provider that opts to combine all of its monthly discretionary fees with its base monthly price may do so and list that total price. In that case, the provider need not separately itemize those fees in the label,' the FCC order said." I wonder what the ISPs' objection to this is, maybe that it would overcomplicate accounting?
How embarrassing. I've done this. Programming is easy, making things easy is difficult.
Ask HN: How do you keep the interest after 25 years
I’ve been working as a developer since 1996, Clipper, MS Access, Delphi, Java, and eventually .NET/C#. I have made nothing of a consequence.

In time, gradually, I have lost all interest in almost everything, the job, the business, the people…

I try to explore things, hobbies, pet projects… it lasts for a day or two, then it’s like “meh, what’s the point”. Even going to the gym started feeling like that…

Any suggestion on how to push through? I obviously have to work (mouths to feed, mortgages to pay).

The fire hypothesis is compatible with what you said. The idea is that humans either directly or indirectly caused frequent and vast wildfires that destroyed ecosystems, and those fires either killed animals directly or destroyed the resources they needed to survive.
Would happily have done so, but didn't know that it existed. Is this what you're thinking of?

I don't see it. I looked into moving this year, house prices have stayed flat in my area and haven't gone down. rates are double my current, and house prices are huge. a move for me would mean nearly 30% increase in monthly payments for a comparable home in a comparable location. we opted not to move and will try again in a few years
Are you talking about a specific school, because there is almost 0 supervision (I would call what dorm RAs do as more "emergency oversight") and freshman absolutely party the same as upperclassmen & women. Also, you should know that many colleges & universities apply far greater oversight to frats & sororities these days than genpop, and many are dry.
I know some people with truly incredible one-handed typing. I remember seeing a girl I knew from highschool in a coffee shop, one hand aggressively reading a book, the other hand hammering away on a keyboard. Turned out she had found a gig being paid to write people's homework essays, and was scanning for citations while typing out the essay. Remarkable stuff.

It's grossly more expensive the way they are doing it. They were originally going to use smaller commercial launchers until Senator Shelby and others held a political knife to their throats.

That's wrong, long term exist rates exist all over Europe. France has very popular 20 year fixed mortgages at great low rates, 30 years are not uncommon. Before recent inflation causing rate hikes, you could access interest rates between 1% - 3% for these types of deals
That's fun to think about, but Precambrian life was generally microscopic. Many impact craters across the world date from that era, so any extinctions they caused would not be visible to the naked eye.

My compiler (MSVC) doesn't do that[0]. Clang also doesn't do this[1]. It's wild to me that GCC does this optimization[2]. It's very subtle, but Raymond Chen and OP both say a compiler can create this optimization, not that it will.

i remember i think back when jack dorsey stepped down and parag agrawal was slated to be the next ceo all of HN was doing nothing but talking about how the only viable path for twitter was to put the entire thing behind a subscription because there was too much garbage.

now that elon is actually instating a paywall (that isn’t compulsory, and still lets you use it for free) all of HN seems to be thinking it’s the wrong decision.

i’d understand if something substantially happened in the intervening time period to give you the impression the subscription model was NOT the way to go, but nothing of the sorts has actually happened at all.

while it’s better than most sites, the groupthink on HN is insane.

also - i might be wrong if dorsey stepping down was the time when everyone was saying this, but i do remember it very clearly, and i only joined in 2020.

Full disclosure: I'm a maintainer of SpiceDB, the most mature open source project inspired by Zanzibar

For this exact use case, SpiceDB created two APIs not available in Zanzibar: LookupSubjects and LookupResources. For other scenarios, there's also a BulkCheck API to performing many checks with less request overhead. The sibling comment here is correct that there isn't filtering/sorting available in SpiceDB yet.

Additionally, there are folks using SpiceDB today by replicating denormalized checks back into their database (e.g. Postgres) or search index (e.g. Elastic) so that you can filter them natively. This is the combination of the aforementioned Lookup APIs with our Watch API. While this strategy requires moving parts, it is necessary beyond a particular scale which is well beyond the point at which policy engines typically fall over.

While I'm biased, I do find this article somewhat misleading when describing Zanzibar-inspired systems; it presents opinion without any evidence or examples to justify the claim and concludes it as fact, but that might be because they're leaning on their previous article. Zanzibar is novel because it is fundamentally designed to be ran at the edge and solves the difficult problem of keeping the view of data at the edge consistent. This article conveniently leaves out how other systems get data to the edge while still keeping it consistent for their authorization logic. Latency is also brought up, but we recently managed to scale SpiceDB to >1M requests per second with 100B relationships while maintaining a 5ms p95 measured at the client application[0]. The claim that you absolutely need a service to run a Zanzibar system is a provably false claim based on the number of clusters in the wild running SpiceDB or Ory's Keto project.

Seems you're not allowed to be 'drunk' even if you're of legal age. From the handbook [1]:

"NOTE: Students who are aged 21 or older may drink
alcohol when off center and not under center supervision;
however, they cannot bring alcohol onto the center.
In addition, if students of any age return to the center
intoxicated, it is categorized as a Level II
“intoxication” infraction described below."

Where:

"we consider an individual intoxicated when they exhibit a state in which their capacity to act or reason normally has been inhibited by the ingestion of a substance with the intent to cause such a state [including alcohol]" [2]

What about small independent news outlets that rely on social media by creating pages in order to voluntarily post links to their content, so that people can follow them in order to see their content in their feeds?

Those are gone now. I used to think like you. I'm not a big social media user and it's easy to think of social media as a cesspool of clickbait and rage, but now that Meta has pulled even the pages of these outlets I realized that I'm suddenly not getting severe weather alerts and updates on local events that I was used to getting from a particular small indie outlet. How exactly was Facebook hurting that indie outlet by giving them a platform and free traffic?

It completely fails as a justification for SLS, though. It's preserving nonsense that needs to die, instead of pushing the actually successful part of commercial space.
Those are really good thoughts! Here are a few answers and thoughts.

* No, it won't stay AGPL. It will be just my license once a lawyer approves that license. And I have actually four licenses; it will start on the most restrictive, but I will move it to the most permissive over time as this repo becomes established and recognized. In essence, I will explicitly follow the process in [1] that tends to happen over time.

* Yay!

* Double yay! Thank you!

* Yes. This is necessary to implement DSL's in it. (My build system will use a DSL.) Also, it will have better error messages.

* Great! This is one thing that Rust is right on: mutation should not be default.

* I'm not the biggest fan of it either; that syntax will change to something better. Maybe just `push <expr>: <stack>`. I don't know. Any suggestions?

* Technically, they are not built-in; they are a part of the standard library, but point taken: there needs to be a better namespace for those standard library ones. (By the way, this means that yes, your own libraries can add context stacks for client code.)

* Function suffixes are weird, yes. I don't know what to do about that. I've waffled a bit between them and having implicit name mangling (as in C++), but that leads to ABI and interoperability issues. But I acknowledge the issue. What can I say? Language design is hard!

And to answer, your claim that you're not a language guy, you are. As a user, you are more right than me as to what is good; actual users matter more than the language designer. If you are a user, you know what's good for you, and it is my job to hit that.

Someone somewhere said that new projects can only spend a few points on "novel" things; maybe I'll have to spend one on function suffixes, or maybe it would be better to spend them somewhere else.

> But I don't think I'd want to use anything "Indie" in production anywhere, and AGPL might scare off people so it never becomes a mainstream corporate backed thing, right?

Well, I am running a business behind it, an actual real business, so it may not be corporate-backed, but it's as close as I can make it. Because I don't want a corporation controlling it.

> Seems like you'd have to really carefully make sure it fits the audience who enjoys using indie stuff if you don't plan to get corporate backing. AI free seems like a good thing for that!

Thank you! That is actually part of my plan (though I do hate LLM's).

Here's my plan: you have people at companies that write shell scripts for small tasks, right? Over time a few of those scripts get passed around, tweaked, and turned into pseudo-blessed company-wide tools.

Well, maybe one of those programmers writes Yao scripts because Yao is just better than shell. If one or more of those scripts becomes a pseudo-blessed tool, then the company now depends on Yao, and they would be wise to pay me a few grand a year for support.

IOW, you nailed my plan: target the indie audience and use it to snare the corporate one. :) You figured all of that out from the language design! You're sharp!

Thank you for the comments!

It was in the comment you replied to, you only explicitly addressed the first part, but implicitly agreed with the latter as well:

It's the Cassandra curse of computer scientists. Business people think they don't have time or resources for correctness, and end up forcing incorrect systems to be held by hand. Which, despite the high cost of this labor, is a decent trade-off because thanks to the internet business models have very low marginal cost per costumer. I think that the fact that Netflix has a very high marginal cost per costumer and actually hires very highly qualified programmers and pioneers systems designs illustrates my point.
Incredible to double revenue YoY on that level. Elon and Spacex team are truly extraordinary.

As I asked in similar thread the other day, what about proof of work based CAPTCHA like https://github.com/mCaptcha/mCaptcha - which I didn't actually see on any site. Is it used? Since CAPTCHAs can be solved by bots, at least make it more costly for them.
It could be that this is showing drying up of future (or near-term future) possibilities that this is a high-growth company. If investors were predicting they'd be growing at a certain rate (and a higher rate commands an exponentially higher P/E multiple) and now that rate is lower or even flat (or even shrinking), then that's going to be a big drop as a "small" movement on the X axis (of growth rate) produces a much larger movement down the Y-axis since it's an exponential relationship.

TLDR if investors see this as a "party's over" signal and most of the big/easy growth is behind, they're going to flee.
So do we really regulate that alcohol can’t be sold on Sundays because of the downstream effects or is it because of religion? Why would regulating of TikTok or other media not be based on the political leanings of whoever in power?

We also didn’t start regulating weed because of health concerns. It was because of racism.

https://time.com/5572691/420-marijuana-mexican-immigration/

How do you choose not to regulate content and still regulate its downstream effects? How is this different from when Tipper Gore wanted to regulate “violent video games” and rap music?
> So now it’s okay to ban platforms that cause “bad things” to go viral?

I think if platforms habitually or consistently cause 'bad things' to go viral then the ownership and management of those platforms should be examined, and if it's determined that their ownership/management may be beholden to interests contrary to the welfare of the nation then sanctions should be applied, which may or may not include a ban.

There are well understood exceptions to free speech and freedom of association that apply to the ownership and control of companies that could significantly affect the welfare of the nation. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai_Ports_World_controversy

Please answer the questions that were put to you:

Approximately what dollar value of damage was done to schools as a result of the 'devious licks' viral videos trend from last year? And on what platform did those viral videos trend?
Everyone is an unrecognized genius or temporarily at ends millionaire. So it's easy to be dismissive of anything and it makes certain personalities feel smart and better about themselves.
I fully agree, and its definitely a strange feeling coming from C++ to not have a single, complete and extensive spec to read up on if all else fails.

I want to like Rust, but its already a kitchen sink on par with C++ in complexity and misused quirks, not to mention macros which hide complexity just like C macros did, that the lack of a committee and spec makes it very difficult to trust that it won't get more and more features as time goes on (becoming like C++, in only the bad ways).

I understand they have an RFC process, but thats not enough for a language which is now so commonplace in discussion (usually in the form of "if you did it in Rust, this problem wouldnt exist", which is often even true).
That's my experience with ChatGPT 3.5. But with 4.. well, as far as I'm concerned, this is AGI.

Reducing 2 decimals in SVGs could save approx. 27,000 tons of CO2 per day
Since it is estimated that there are 1.880 billion web pages in the world, and assuming that only half have SVGs, the savings would be approximately 8,787 TB in one day and 263,061 TB in a month.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, every GB of data you download results in 3kg of CO2 emissions. Therefore, transferring 9 petabytes (the calculated savings) results in the emission of approximately 27,000 tons of CO2 per day.

If we reduce approximately 58 characters for each SVG in a site, we save 58 bytes. Let's say each website has 10 SVGs like this. A good site could have 720 visits per hour, resulting in 407 KB in one hour, or 9 MB per day.

For 1 million pages:
9.56MB × 1,000,000 = 9,560,000MB = 9,560GB
In one month: 280.47TB (wow)

...and Ada, too. I like the idea of attributes of data objects, to access the size of x simple write x'Size (also for types e.g. Natural'Size).

The Wirth languages (from which Ada is also a descendant) were so much more readable than C, yet relatively capable for systems programming, as demonstrated by systems like TeX, MacOS, Wirth's Modula compilers and the OS for the Lilith workstation he co-designed from scratch.
