There is expressivity and abstraction-ability which are language features, and there is “levelness” or metalness as is it being referred to.

Low and high level languages have two definitions I have seen, one is more objective, but utterly useless: only assemblies are low-level, everything else is high. The other one is more about what can be controlled in a given language’s idiomatic usage, I believe that’s what most people actually refer to intuitively - e.g. C#/Java have ways to manipulate pointers, but you would generally not say that.

In that regard, C, C++, Rust are quite close to the metal with the latter two actually being even closer as they have native control over SIMD datatypes as well, while C doesn’t have that. Note, this is only a partial ordering, as e.g. C#/Java also have control over vector instructions, yet I wouldn’t go around claiming them closer to the metal as C.

Going back to expressivity, C++ is very expressive, while C is very inexpressive, but that is a completely orthogonal axis.
> his three court picks

Court picks aren't political hacks. Trump elected fantastic SC judges all conservative, recommended by key Conservative and Libertarian think tanks and their judgement is very much rooted in principles. Congress should consider making abortion the rights.

I do not like the judgement either but I think it was a very good judgement perfectly in alignment with the US constitution and law.
Yes, and soon we will have PIC powered and AVR powered servers in the data center, joining our ARM and RISC V servers.

> it seems like the anti-federalists turned out to be right about a lot of things they warned about

The US was the first experiment in a capitalist country; the American revolution was the first capitalist revolution against the tyranny of market control.

Any conservative claims that the old ways were better were likely to be true at least in some respects, just because it was so new.

I suspect that if most HN folks looked at the anti-federalists with their anti-progress, anti-free-market stances, we'd see opposition to that. For good reason, possibly.
It's good to be vigilant against hypocrisy, but there is such a thing as being too focused on possible hypocrisy.

What HN does, i.e., allow comments to contain a couple of carefully-chosen formatting options, is not a realistic option in email whereas because of a history of decades in which email clients could render only plain text, asking email senders to send plain text is a realistic option at least in some situations.

In other words, HN's designers were not restricted to a choice between plain text and full HTML, but in email we basically are (because there is no central authority in charge of email).
> some economies have laws against "in perpetuity" finances.

Indeed, but it's a bit different. A will or trust is limited to some period - say 21 years after the latest beneficiary.

But there's a difference between a trust with very specific rules, and a general endowment.
Doesn't seem to work out the same way. Also, there's a lot of variance in state law.

(Side note, did you know that SPY is a trust that will dissolve after certain people die? In the early days of ETFs they didn't... bother figuring out the right legal structure, so they just used a unit investment trust, tied to a dozen or so specific people. So maybe have an exit plan for SPY by like.. 2090-ish, I forget)

To be fair, if it's only for hardware bring up then I would kind of expect it to to be hacked together without any regard for things you care about in a "real" distro. (Heavily patched kernel? Who cares, we're not going to update it. Can't self-host? Whatever, cross compile the whole thing. Software leaks memory? No problem, just reboot the test rig hourly. Broken package manager? We can build+flash a new image every time we want to change the installed software.)

Me to, twice. Which is where my opinion of jurors was formed.
But you can't do any of this and expect to get recognized.

No ones gonna hire you because you spent a decade and have a half finished game engine written Haskell.

All of that freedom is fake and some even in contradiction with each other.

You cannot take your time, or you pick a larger scope project, you will eventually run out of savings, or get questions from family members about why your job search is taking so long.

If you filter out everything but smaller scope projects then you have a far smaller subset of projects that aren't as unique because everyone else has done them. If you just graduated from University, you lack experience with project management and as the saying goes, write what you know, and so that'll limit yourself to video games or web and that one niche subject you took at Uni.

This advice feels like what you would get from a rock-star who was young and stupid and naive and very lucky telling a kid that if he just makes music and sticks it out he'll get scouted by a record label, When in reality he just was lucky enough to market pop-derivative music at gigs, while not realizing the kid likes to make music from sampled traffic noise and his favorite album is Music for Airports.

This is a high risk endeavour and you either need to make conscious decisions that mitigate risk heavily and are compatible with your personality, and the end goal of being financially secure.
This in turn reminds me of this analysis scissors emojis on each platform: https://wh0.github.io/2020/01/02/scissors.html

I guess if you have been working on something for 10 months, have most of the major pieces together, the team is stable and has a good understanding of the problems, then perhaps it is reasonable to expect that a complete re-write can be done in 10 weeks.

I think when most people say "don't do big bang re-writes", the reason behind it is the current development team unlikely has a complete understanding of the codebase. Once you have a million+ lines, no single person has a complete understanding of how everything works. People leave and new hires come up to speed, people forget how things work, etc., so the understanding of the system from an organizational perspective is rather fuzzy. Starting over in this situation is risky because the organization will inevitably have to re-learn forgotten things, re-implement and re-forget them to get to the same state that it was originally in. Much better to do one piece at a time in this situation.
I'm also American and The Red Scare was taught in my high school. That being said, the Battle of Blair Mountain, the Tulsa Race Massacre, and the MOVE bombing were left out of my curriculum.
I was tricked once--and only once--into signing up for Premium.

I was setting up the app anew on a new account, and IIRC it was my school account, of all things. And I was just mindlessly tapping through dialogs to get it set up ASAP, and I hit a button that probably read "Let's Do It" or "Sounds Good To Me" or some other sort of stupid, slangy, unclear thing, and that was the "consent" to sign up to the service and so I got the Free Trial.

Thankfully I did notice and I properly cancelled and had no billing issues.

That was definitely a dark pattern. I see them wording the buttons all the time so you're not quite sure what you're agreeing to.

I also once "consented" to a Walmart+ subscription, and I had a bit of a crazy time recovering the money they charged for it. I believe that my bank had flagged it for fraud and so I contacted them and said no, I certainly did not authorize this. And then we had a little, er, discussion on what "authorization" meant. Because what I think had happened was a recent purchase that I made had an "opt-out" checkbox clicked for me, and I didn't notice, failing to opt-out of the subscription, and thereby "authorized" it in the financial opinion of my financial institution. Hey, that's not consent, that's a deception.

Anyway, I did pursue a refund and I did get satisfaction from that, and strangely ever since, it's been an opt-in checkbox and not opt-out. I'm still not entirely sure how it happened.

Has there ever been an age where it's easier to accidentally spend money? I suppose any time that a wink and handshake (or :thumbsup:) suffice for a contract, anyone could give away the farm unintentionally.
I thought this was going to be a silly sorting algorithm, like bogosort.

So, here's my version of chronosort: Given a set of natural numbers, place them all on a timer, with a timeout equal to the number, and callback argument also equal to the number. The callback function simply appends its argument to the end of a shared list. At some point you will have a sorted and (eventually) complete list :)
I've seen this claim of huge hn traffic but I'm suspicious. Often time there is video posted, it has few thousand views, when I visit video few days later, it jumps 1500 or so. Is few thousands enough to bring server down?
Worse, it’s never been made clear to me which parts are the dangerous one. Just a lot of vague hand waving. Which I guess is fine if you don’t want liability?
My experience is that plumbers are pretty clueless about fluid dynamics in pipes. I had quite an argument with one once about how dynamic pressure works.
He's also talking about making it a prettier app, and he's really into individual liberties and the great-man concept.

And he probably has at least a few key devs who are actively trying to subvert him.

So I'm thinking: Block feature goes away, then XLang appears, a scripting feature where you can design the look of your experience. Wow nobody else offers this! There will even be a marketplace for apps...err...Xapps!

And, then, tucked inside the language or scripting system there are a couple of functions which can be combined, thanks to some clever devs, into a de facto blocking feature.

Result, you still can't block people, that's so _yesterday_, but you could design an experience which gives similar results...just a thought
My brother had a good tip when traveling internationally; ask questions where the correct answer is “no”. So don’t ask if the food is vegetarian, ask if there’s meat in it. Of course, that was for language barriers.

Also, I don’t know how to tell you this, but that doesn’t sound like an “ask” culture- that sounds like a “yes-man” situation.
When they did such things for instance in Beijing, the wealthy just bought two cars to cover either day.
That’s exactly where Lua came from. They had a comfort language that was heading towards Turing complete. So, they took it there intentionally rather than accidentally.

AFAIK it used to be written/interpreted in Java (though it uses a JIT compiler nowadays, doesn’t it?), and in that sense the language itself is memory safe. Of course if you link to a dependency written in an unsafe language you can have memory issues, but that is not what people commonly mean by “a memory safe language”.
Snapchat did too.
With wordle at least I think the appeal is that you can play it async with friends and discuss your outcomes. "Have you solved the wordle today?" "Yea it was a tough one!".
Well, if the law would deal with people the way they do with companies, you would never be convicted of any crime. It would be the shirt you wore at the day of the crime that would be sent to the cleaners, and you could choose to pay the bill for getting it back or not.
> In a statement posted to the Facebook group, Pam Lauritzen, the project’s communications director, said the loophole was an artifact of changes GEDmatch implemented in 2019, when it made opting out the default for all profiles. “While we knew that the intent of the change was to make opted-out users unavailable, some volunteers with the DNA Doe Project continued to use the reports that allowed access to profiles that were opted out,” she wrote. That use was neither “encouraged nor discouraged,” she continued. Still, she claimed the access was somehow “in compliance” with GEDmatch’s terms of service — which at the time promised that DNA uploaded for law enforcement purposes would only be matched with customers who’d opted in — and that the loophole was closed “years ago.”

Huh?

> In July 2020, GEDmatch was hacked, which resulted in all 1.45 million profiles then contained in the database to be briefly opted in to law enforcement matching; at the time, BuzzFeed News reported, just 280,000 profiles had opted in.

How rather convenient.

Realistically, I think there’s likely a bit of parallel construction going on too, likely making up flimsy excuses to hide the fact that some crimes were solved with the use of surveillance programs that have not been revealed to the general public. I’d be extremely surprised if the CIA doesn’t have a secret copy of all major commercial DNA databases.

If they were using Mitre to try to build a database of [actual, physical] fingerprints by scraping social media images, there’s no way they’d leave such low hanging fruit… hanging.
"Remove" would be a more appropriate verb, because the actual implication is that the books in question are "removed" from either the school library or a curriculum (or both). Are there restrictions on, say, carrying the text around in your book bag on school property? On having a digital copy on your device? No?

Then it's not a ban.
Right, but implementing a restricted domain (pipes) with tools designed for a more general domain (graphs), gives up the efficiencies and reduced complexity of the restricted domain.

That is why we have restricted domains.
The egg came first.

Some surprising results:

- 6. Czechia

- 9. Slovenia

- 11. Hungary

- 14. USA

Stats like these have a certain bias towards smaller countries where it's "easier" to concentrate high levels of complexity. If e.g. California was taken separately, it would likely rank very high. Japan's size and ranking make it look quite exceptional.
It helps to get the same person too. It is unnerving having a different person each time cutting your hair, I'd rather have someone who's "done me before" than play with dice over it. A bad haircut is a nightmare

> holding their patrons accountable for their words.

I don't think you have thought beyond the short-term on this one. It starts out, just like in corporations and other places in life, as a good thing. Get the racists out, get the sexists out, whatever. You could even argue $PLACE is better because of it. I think most people would.

The problem is that this isn't the community pushing people out. Meaning, the offender could clean up their act, go somewhere else, and start "fresh". The community can dispense a measured amount of justice (banning from a server/pub/etc) without irreparably damaging someone's life/money/fun. Maybe you just had a really shit day, or you're upset in general about something, and lose your cool online. Now you're banned from a game/pub/etc because The Rules (TM) prescribe a severe punishment for such an infraction. Community enforcement is local and corporation enforcement is global. There is a stark difference.

With a "benevolent" corporation policing speech you end up getting a chilling effect everywhere. It goes from just banning the bad guys to criticism of the company, the political party, the $X is now policed. Suddenly, no one wants to talk anymore. That is, unless they're all smiles for the camera. There are a few games I know of where the mods are so happy to ban people (for even criticizing the company or telling people not to play) that NO ONE talks. They form their own discords for their friends and that's it. Wow, how fun! People like me who have no interest in throwing around slurs anywhere will just go somewhere else. When people are suddenly saccharin due to fear it's even less fun than when someone is throwing a hissy-fit.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, certainly. Private establishments can police them how they want. That doesnt mean it's a good or that we should ignore a trend.
But Tonsorial Debt grows on its own even when the use-cases have been static for years. :P
serde is also used in a LOT of projects and pulled in as a dependency or subdependency often in the crates ecosystem.

For organizations with internal transparent reproducible build guidelines or similar rules, this maybe complicates things and introduces uncertainty.

So much uncertainty nowadays. It's exhausting.

You can take the generous / positive view that this will encourage formalizing reproducible build policies in organizations.

So why bother with this, when compared against AssemblyScript and Grain, both more mature and existing communities?
The basic point is right, but I think a lot of the details are off. The core idea is composition. A system is compositional if you can build it from small reusable parts. It's one of the key ideas in functional programming, and it's somewhat core to object-oriented programming. (OO is too big to be able to claim their is a consistent philosophy behind it.)

But ... firstly, let's stop with the Unix worship. They didn't deliver, even in the domain of the terminal. My copy of `ls` has at least 40 flags (where I stopped counting). Secondly, people have tried composition on the desktop. That's what CORBA, COM, and OLE were all about. They all kinda sucked for various reasons. Finally, the place at which the author arises has been around for as long as Unix: it's Emacs.
