Dynamic/scripting languages will always be slower and will most likely never be suitable for this use case - native libraries will always win and there will be no point to writing these in pure Python. I concur with the parent that I don't believe there's a strong justification here. Personally, I would focus on making Python a top-quality single-threaded experience as well as performance.
Perhaps. But freezing it twice also seemed to fix it. I used it as my primary machine for years after this fix.

Worldcoin is just a centralized / privately owned database of iris scans and issued user IDs that integrates with the blockchain.

> solution to a problem that we (society) definitely have, namely the real-people problem

The solution Worldcoin provides is "trust us for knowing who is real-people". I fail to see how that's better than the way governments solve the problem.
> I think GA has tighter org and assoc standings rules

This was filed in federal court, so only federal rules regarding standing would apply. Also, this organization is led by the SFFA guy, who seems to have dotted his i's and crossed his t's with regard to standing in that lawsuit. There were never any serious discussions about standing in that case, and this one seems to be similarly structured.

As a (former) lawyer, my educated guess is that standing will not be a major issue in this case. What stood out most to me is that it refers to the Civil Rights act of 1866!
> you can't just know Go, you need to learn the ins and outs of this library too… before you can use it.

That is… literally just how libraries are. You need to understand the underlying language and the semantics and details of the library API.
move fast and break things. Jury rigged. Hackers. Makers. Jugaad.

It's all iterations on the same idea. It works well when your team is small and hungry. You have to transition out of it as your grow larger and get more fulltime engineers, else everything plunges into smaller teams working against each other in chaos. There are ways to capture the spirit in larger companies (skunkworks etc) but require large buy-in and trust by management.
> because Intel was largely "just" a memory chip company at the time

Intel management didn’t want to pivot to microchips despite the team’s pleads, so they left and founded Zilog, which eventually prompted Intel to pivot

I feel like “Ask” vs “Sense” would be a better term.

I’ve found this a lot in relationships where partners where a high bar is expected for how well I can to intuit their current state. “If I have to say it, it’s not romantic”, etc.

I think I tend to fall somewhere in the middle between the two extremes. Being able to ask is feels good, giving and getting feedback feels good, but having someone not care about being aware of where I am at (or factoring that in) doesn’t feel good.
“Natural fallacy” people say that whatever way people were living for thousands of years is the happier way, because your body and mind is literally designed to live that way. The idea is there will be friction and thus disturbation if you stray off the default path. It’s more reasonable than the idea modern way of living is better. I see no justification for modern lifestyle. Still I don’t completely buy “natural” life because I believe men has a tendency to do evil which when mitigated by religion, leads to an even happier lifestyle than the indigenous tribe life (and yes, the primitive tribe people are happier than the average modern Joe.)

So if they don’t need a larger car they shouldn’t have them?

Small cars are available, even in the US, but most people aren’t interested in buying them. There are lots of reasons for that. Unless you plan to get draconian about it, people would need a reason to favor small cars.
Many products have a great deal of added sugar, but the sugar in milk is naturally occurring lactose. It would be better to remove the breakfast cereal from your diet than the milk.
Well, I'd suggest that:

1) A substantial number of individuals in the bay aren't originally from there.

2) Assuming the role of a startup founder inherently demands a familiarity with ask culture.

One of the initial steps frequently involves requesting significant amounts of money from individuals, with minimal consequence to the borrower if it doesn't materialize to anything!

This boils down to equality vs equity [0]

It starts with the belief that minorities have been systemically discriminated against for all of our history, and are at a systemic disadvantage today, even if some (or even all) of those systems are removed.

Equality means treating everyone the same, equity means treating people differently based on their needs and history.

If you think everyone should be treated the same, then you agree with the plaintiffs. If you think everyone should be treated differently so that they can all experience the same outcome, then you side with the defendants.

And if you think systemic discrimination isn't a thing, maybe this will change your mind:

Imagine a building owner who hates people in wheelchairs, so they build their building with no ramps, only second floor entrances with stairs. After a while they sell the building and the new owners come in. They have nothing against wheelchairs, but their building is still inaccessible to wheelchairs. So the discrimination is gone, but the system that was in place in the past still affects the people in wheelchairs. The only way to fix this problem is it dedicate resources to building ramps, which means treating people in wheelchairs differently by spending extra resources to accommodate them.

Do you think the folks in wheelchairs should be accommodated?

I think this allowance is a mistake.

I suspect that there is some huge number of developer hours that have been wasted, and huge amount of money wasted, on cleaning up after security breaches and finding and fixing security issues. I suspect that those numbers dwarf any losses that might have arisen due to reduced developer productivity or reduced performance when using a (hypothetical) C-like language that doesn't allow the compiler to do these sorts of things.
The Saturn V S-IC first stage generated 166 GW of power output, roughly equivalent to the electrical generation capacity of France at the time. Though that was sustained for 168 seconds (2m48s).

Power output vs. time comparisons can be interesting. The Hiroshima "Little Boy" bomb output about 18 GWh worth of energy, in a few milliseconds. A large electrical generation plant of 1 GW capacity generates the same amount of electrical power in about 18 hours, and is releasing the thermal energy in about 2--3 hours at typical Carnot efficiencies.
Not a lot of context here. Was the "CSS toggle" an image inside a video?
> C was never standardized solely on the basis of what's most performant. The vast majority of explicit UB is there because someone knew of a system or situation where that assumption wasn't true.

So? They could have called it implementation defined. The reasoning you present was broken then, as it is broken now.

Your MIPS example displays no reason for UB to exist.
Great article. One point I would like to add, is that "guess" culture works great when there is already a lot of shared cultural background, but "ask" culture works better when people are coming from very different backgrounds (and thus won't know enough about what the other person wants or needs, to guess very accurately). Sure, it's good to find out more about where other people are coming from, but this takes time, and in the meantime stuff has to get done. I'm guessing this is why most workplaces are "ask" culture.

Also, most families have enough common background to make "guess" culture work, so a lot of adolescents and young adults are more accustomed to "guess" culture, but once they move out into the world to deal more with people that have very different backgrounds, they will need to become more comfortable with "ask" culture.
My little hatch can do that for 5 people. And it's actually sporty and fun to drive unlike a truck.
Unfortunately. Uber has made it normal for people to work for poverty wages to make their asset depreciate even faster, all because they managed to pump a shitload of money into a money losing proposition. Getting a personalized driver right now should be a luxury expense - Uber dumping money that they will never make back into it doesn't change that. Uber drivers should be paid fairly, like employees, and not as independent contractors.
This sounds like a protest against someone not giving him the root password. A stupid protest.
Colon cancer is correlated to red meat and processed meat consumption. Processed meat(eg:bacon and lunch meat) is a known carcinogen and red meat is a probable carcinogen.

Do you sign a request with that reauth token or do you send the reauth token? Because if they’re getting mitm then all is lost. How long does the reauth token last for? Is a new one issued when you reauth?

As negative as I sound, the system is better than just allowing the regular api token to extend the session. Of the hundreds to thousands of api requests a regular user may make a day, only 1 is the reauth, which is nice.

Security is an onion. Every layer is a bit sour and eventually you’ll cry.

It may have more to do with deeper, more static personal relationships within a community in rural settings. In urban settings, folks generally don’t know their neighbors, can hide in numbers, have to be more assertive with strangers and acquaintances, and can get away to a fresh start if they wreck their reputation.

I think ask vs guess is a good start, but looking at my experience and looking at what people are talking about here, there is at least one more dimension at play here.
I consider myself a staunch centrist on the "ask" vs. "guess" scale. :-)

I ask all the time! And I'm totally comfortable with "no." But I try to consider the other person first because I think making unreasonable requests repeatedly, which is the subtext of their description of an "asker," blows social capital and just bugs people.
Did you end up with a net improvement, though?
Yeah, I wasn't clear as to my reasoning: if you read the filing, they go out of their way to refuse the disclose the underlying plaintiffs' identities and specifics of alleged harm, so filing under associational standing is a gambit to evade FRCP 10(a) and hide plaintiffs' identities for (IMO) improper reasons -- embarrassment and economic harm are not sufficient reasons to allow pseudonymous filings, but they'd have trouble finding sympathetic plaintiffs who are willing to publicly associate themselves with this case.
In this case, the unreasonable person does not understand the culture he is embedded in, and would not understand an 'ask' culture either, where refusal to accede to his wants is regarded as reasonable.

The difference between normal and pathological behavior in either culture lies in whether people treat others in the same way they would like to be treated themselves.

everything i built in the past few years only needed a generic CRUD backend, if it needed a backend at all. there is no application specific code in the backend, and the latest app i am working on is completely static as far as the backend is concerned. it could even be served locally via file://

If P1236 (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p12...) is really what it says ("alternative wording") then I don't believe that's true. Certainly P0907R3 (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p09...) is clear:

> Status-quo If a signed operation would naturally produce a value that is not within the range of the result type, the behavior is undefined. The author had hoped to make this well-defined as wrapping (the operations produce the same value bits as for the corresponding unsigned type), but WG21 had strong resistance against this.

My understanding is that the 2s complement change in C++20 ended up defining bitwise operations but not arithmetic.
Well, exactly - it's about things like consumables where you're asking to take something. For example, "may I have a glass of water?" would have been fine with my dad. (And it was drummed into me it's rude not to offer somebody at least a glass of water when they're in your house!)

Show HN: Fetch API compatible, complex form data / JSON body parser and guard
Hi,

We've been working on open sourcing our streaming complex body parser/guard and wouldn't mind some more people contributing. It features:

- JSON, urlencoded AND multipart form data parsing

- Out-of-the-box constraints for resulting object depth, key amount and size; definable globally and per call, preventing resource exhaustion by bailing on the stream if limits are exceeded

- Multi-boundary (!) multipart form data parsing

- Multidimensional array form data with auto-increment and explicit indexes (formElement[] vs formElement[0])

- Object form data with dot notation, including arbitrary amounts of nesting with arrays (<input name="foo.bar[].baz" value="it works!" />)

- Typed output for the resulting object if you use a (user-specified) validator like Zod

- Optional automatic casting for numbers and booleans in form data

It's originally done for SvelteKit projects, but nothing's stopping you from using it in Hono, Next, etc. Thanks!

Care to explain? An iterator is a nice high level concept, but the CPU still has to do the &in + i + offset arithmetic. I don't see how replacing `i` with syntactic sugar changes the need to check for overflow.

While the 168mb is ridiculous, I'm more facinated by the choice to depend on an unimplemented feature from a group/company they had no control over or contracts with. I would hesitate to depend on things which haven't been released for a few months/years.
I realize the web moves fast and some might prefer working with new technology, but this sounds so weird to me.
Performance can absolutely come from the programmer. It's a question of defaults. One can default to correctness and opt-in to performance (in the places where critically needed, often a small portion of the program) much more easily than one can default to performance and opt-in to correctness.
What is your problem with startup time? Have you timed it? How long does it take?

Civic burns more gas and is a little harder to manipulate into small spaces.
That's a great example. Unfortunately it's also not super helpful to dichotomize the difference, because most people are a mix of both in different ways.

For example, under extreme stress or illness, a lot of "ask" people will turn into "guess what I want or life hates me" people.

And it's not exactly unheard of for guessers to turn into power-trippers under stress and become over-direct when just a little bit of directness is a better idea.

Sometimes guessers even use this entire us-them concept as a way to subtly preach to askers, but really it's a two-way street. If you've ever lived or worked under an unethical or abusive guesser, you may have developed a very strong sense of the hypocrisy of the "askers are blunt and mean" comparison which often comes out in discussions with guessers.

Fortunately though there is a lot of nuance to work with on both sides in most cases. (And again, dichotomizing this is not great in so many ways)
They have denser zoning and higher population densities which allows grocery stores closer to their homes.

Especially when you account for the cost of time, it's way cheaper to make a grocery haul to walmart every couple weeks given we cannot just 'pop by the shop' for milk and eggs.

This is also, I believe, why processed food is so popular here. It's shelf stable for weeks at a time whereas fresh fruit and veg are much more perishable.

In my experience, Claude 2 is marvellously good at sucking in massive documents and accurately generating responses to questions. I gave it the entire Georgia indictment (minus a few pages of crap at the start that was irrelevant to reduce token count) and it wrote a NYTimes article based on the indictment that could be favourably compared to the actual NYTimes piece summarizing the same. There were no factual errors in its output.

I imagine OpenAI is not far behind in expanding the context window of its models. The LLM companies have access to the same techniques and - in my estimation - are just choosing to focus on one aspect or another to address different market needs. For instance, Claude 2 clearly focuses on maximum context window size at the cost of speedy inference and, presumably, inference cost. By contrast, OpenAI seems to be focused on speed and low cost (GPT-3.5) and accuracy (GPT-4) rather than maximum token length.
The simulation currently encodes an average 2 second gap between passengers in the deplaning aisle - in theory you could shoot in when a passenger with a longer minbuffer is near you. This can be done so long as it does not cause accordion-style congestion in the aisle.
Ask HN: What does a Director/Senior Director/VP/SVP of Product do day to day?
Assuming we’re at a mid to large sized tech company, where these people are managers of others and do not directly run a product, what do these roles do day to day?

As someone who’s been an IC their whole career I’ve never really understood what that looks like.

I can tell that these people are extremely busy, and at the higher end even need people to schedule their calendars.

But because I haven’t made it there (yet!) its hard to understand what these folks are doing behind the scenes, besides having 1:1s with their reports.

It appears that product features come from the bottom up almost always (at least at my current and previous companies), and PMs across orgs reach out and work with each other directly. So it doesn’t seem related to that.

I hear “strategy” is a part of that, but I’m not really clear how that translates into daily activities.

I’m sure someone will come in with a snarky comment about how middle management isn’t necessary, but let’s assume in this case these are people who are great at their jobs, and delivering value.
That is OS dependent, though. On Arch Linux with EDITOR empty `visudo` opens vi.

The probability of death is correlated to your chronological age. The older you are, the more likely you are to die.

Eliminating or reducing the probability of death correlated to chronological age means our average lifespan is likely to be thousand of years, but not unlimited since we will die to other causes, likely involving accidents and natural disaster.

Because they don’t seem particularly favoured by any metric (not an advantaged majority in the space), so it's strange she would be behind this.

Uniformity or a pattern isn’t a requirement for an argument, consistency is. And I’m consistent about the idea that people who are doing great in one area shouldn’t be pushing down other people trying to get to the same place.
I would find it normal if you started a conversation after a simple “hi” or “hello”, and I think many other Americans would agree.
I think what the author is interpreting as Japanese style is often just code that was written 10-20+ years ago when conventional ruby just looked a bit different than it does now. Enumerable was less featureful, the use of `and` and `or` was more prevalent. More people wrote in "Seattle style" where they omit parentheses, etc.

Contemporary ruby is less adventuresome and more homogenous in it's style, which I consider a good thing.

>addressed your childhood trauma

This is pretty frustrating as 90s-kid who had a Good Childhood™ and struggles with interpersonal issues. I have a close friend from childhood who also had quite a Good Childhood™ and he can't shut up about "trauma" and it seems like every two years he has this big epiphany about how he addressed some "trauma" he was previously repressing and how now that he's done so he's All Better Now™. His behavior and overall life outcomes do not have any correlation with these epiphanies. Both of our lives absolutely pale in comparison to the lives of average children in previous generations in terms of 'trauma'. Minimal bullying, no fights, always plenty of toys and food, loving parents, etc.

I know some people with real, legitimate trauma (verbal and physical abuse) and they said that visiting a therapist really helped them to feel a lot better. In such cases of legitimate trauma, I agree that one should do something about it if it's making you feel bad. However, many of those people were already. interpersonally excellent before and after 'addressing' their trauma.

I have had people (including the friend from the first paragraph) suggest I need to "work on my childhood trauma" but really and honestly I can't think of a single thing that was legitimately traumatic. I could take my worst experiences, which I have moved on from and don't feel any need[0] to think about, and inflate them, but I'm pretty sure that would be creating a new psychological problem.

[0]I don't feel any hesitance to thinking about them either. I can sit and ponder them for a whole afternoon if I like, without emotional fluctuation. They're just memories.
