Show HN: Going into freshman year, figured I should build an interpreter
Hi all!

I'm going into my freshman year, and figured that the best way to prepare for the intro to programming Racket course would be to implement my own garbage-collected, dynamically typed, functional programming language in C ;)

Anyways... here's the repo:
https://github.com/liam-ilan/crumb

I started learning C over the summer, so I still have a whole lot to learn... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! :D
I still can't tell whether you're being cynical or not. These businesses are mostly going to just shutter if PE doesn't take over. The ones left to a family member aren't necessarily going to do well for that succession either: that bequest can be an act of love more than business smarts. Furthermore, just because there may be important subtleties about which vendors to use, branding, and service processes that are vital to how things work, it does not mean that the prior owners were at all savvy about the nuts and bolts of modern financial products, and could have really been held back by traditional banks preying on that ignorance and ensnaring them in less than ideal solutions.

The important cog in this wheel is the one you haven't touched on, namely, that president Teamshares installs - wish they'd explain more about that. Teamshares' investors aren't stupid. They know very well the risk on their money if the company comes in like a bull in a china shop, quickly destroying the businesses it buys. There aren't going to be consolidation options and economies of scale like you see with medical practices - each of these mom 'n pop shops are somewhat special snowflakes.

It's not that. We don't want to switch shell syntax between workstation and server, for example. The fish users I've known moved very slowly when they had to hop on a server, or build a new container image where it involved a 'docker run' into the shell to test it out. If you know bash or sh well enough to do those things quickly then there is no incentive to use fish.
Yup, I know that they are not the same, but they are measuring wall clock, and claiming it is power consumption....
This seems to blur the lines. Writing bare metal for Cortex-M is straightforward. For your desktop or laptop PC? Your phone? Doable OFC, but probably very difficult.
Keep chasing profit. That's completely fine.

What's really concerning though are how so many players want to do so at all costs i.e. suck the air out of the building except for their own room.

THAT is not fine.

> Growth-oriented people like myself are sometimes seen as a problem because they cause things to happen that are not in the road map.

Creating new work that wasn’t in the roadmap (excluding tech debt and other necessities to get roadmap work done) is a problem.

The right way to grow is to learn how to work with the company to get important work into the roadmap.

I’ve worked with some peers who had good ideas and good intentions, but they’d unintentionally try to blow up the roadmap and reset planning by prioritizing their work over the things we needed to get done.

Working with the business to get things prioritized is a necessary skill. A lot of engineers just want to work on whatever they want to work on most, but that’s a problem in the context of an organization trying to coordinate.

But if you ask the more realistic question “would you like to pay for Google or would you rather see ads”, then I think most will choose ads.
Sure, and you’re not intended to. You’re buying a product that presumably, to you, has value. Apple is offering to let you have their valuable product by paying it off over time with zero interest. That’s it.

The point is that instead of laying the cash out upfront you can use that cash to generate income while you also have your valuable product you wanted to buy. Not sure why that’s hard to parse.
Author here. Yeah, the model I use (Anything v3) has a really weird way of generating the Space Needle in particular. I'm originally from Seattle and I really miss the pacific northwest, so I like to put the Space Needle in my AI generations because of how much it can stick out or clash with the rest of the image.

Just because the numbers may be approximate, doesn't necessarily mean that you don't need to measure again somewhere where you're doing something different. It's far more defensible for regulators to require a measurement or new calculation than to accept "eh, it's about the same, I promise."

> As in, it's more likely you get a dead pixel on a larger screen.

Aside from the ink capsules and higher voltage (though still very low), E ink is almost identical to LCD and probably slightly easier to make. There's a TFT (which can have a larger footprint, since it doesn't need to be transparent) on the back, an LC or E ink capsule layer, and an ITO electrode. Dead pixels are almost always caused by damage or defects in the TFT.

I wouldn't say it's artificially out of reach, though- setting a line up to produce large panels is a high opportunity cost. If anything is artificial about it, it's that you presumably can't buy E ink capsules yourself. With enough effort you might be able to separate the top glass from an LCD TV, dissolve the LC, and replace it with E ink, but I have no idea how you'd do that. No promises it wouldn't burn out the TFT immediately.
It was a long time ago so my memory may not quite be right, but basically KDE 3 was quite mature and powerful. The aesthetics were reasonable - no where near Gnome which looked really good back then, but still decent.

Then they released KDE 4 with "Plasma" which had a lot of half baked UI experiments that looked terrible and basically everyone hated. They really didn't listen to users at all, and just pushed through stuff that made no sense at all. They broke a lot of the desktop UI because they added the stupid goal of making it work on tablets too (they were the hot new stuff at the time), despite the very obvious fact that nobody was going to buy a KDE tablet. They even tried to sell one for a while!

It's a little like Gnome's mad decision to move menus to a hamburger, despite that making no sense and essentially everyone hating it.

Probably the thing that characterised the situation most was the "kidney bean". Something the internet seems to have wilfully forgotten (the only reference I can find to it is a comment on LxQT "remember the awful kidney bean?", but you can see it in this screenshot:

https://kde.org/announcements/4/4.1.0/

It's the button at the top right. I can't even remember what it was supposed to do, but it was always there, everyone hated it, you couldn't remove it, and they refused to budge. Of course it was eventually removed. Look at the terrible styling in that screenshot too. Compare it to GNOME:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_2#/media/File:Gnome-2.18...

Essentially they took a system that people liked and changed a load of things in obviously terrible ways, and then refused to budge when people said they didn't like it.
McDonald’s does regional distribution that affects some of these factors too; different suppliers, etc.

It’s harder to see these days, but where I live in Albany, NY, McDonalds was in the New England region, and we would get the lobster roll “a New England favorite!”

Head a few miles away and you’d be in an area supplied out of New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Western NY. This sort of thing is noticeable if you live in a place that’s sort of a Venn diagram from a distribution standpoint.
Baltics lost and continuing losing population for decades, however currently their population is propped by migration from Belarus (since August 2020 and then next waive after Feb 2022). Even with those trend Lithuania has lost 1/3 of its population in 30 years.
Czechia and Poland has a influx of Ukrainians since Feb 2022.
On other side Bulgaria is losing ~1% annually without signs of stopping.
So yes, I would say the trend is very visible everywhere in Eastern Europe + Balkans.

The argument about lack of socialization from failure to attend public school might have some basis.

But thinking back, I came out of the public schools with some pretty anti social behaviors and attitudes that I picked up there. Being cool is so important at that age in that setting.

I often wonder what life would have been like had I been taken out say, age 12 or 13 and given a more solid education to match my natural inclinations away from the cruelty, the misbehavior and the general time wasting that characterizes much of public school in the US.

Kuddos to you for putting in the effort to give your kids the best possible real education. It has to be a lot of work.

> Current implementations display a blue checkmark in addition to the logo. It's a bit different from what Gmail or Gravatar previously has done.

Where that checkmark ends up is important. In the GMail screenshots I saw, it's with the other header information, which is ok. If anyone puts it on the logo as a badge, that'll be bad because we'll start seeing blue checkmark badges on non-VMC logos used for phishing.

If I were a bad actor, I'd put a BIMI like looking header at the top of my phishing emails. Most people I deal with don't know the difference between the application and display parts of the UI. They don't know that one is a trusted area and that the other isn't. Since the large email providers hide so much of the header, I think a fake "certification" at the top of an email would be pretty successful.

> Having a proper SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup most likely has the biggest impact, but BIMI might also be taken into account.

I bet it will be, even if it's not publicly advocated for. I'm sure that's what DigiCert and Entrust want because it sets them up as rent seeking middle men that you have to deal with. $1500 USD per year is a disgusting amount of money for what they're doing.

It reminds me of getting code signing certificates where the prices are astronomical compared to what the issuers are actually doing. Some of the laughable requirements look similar too [1]:

> You will need publicly available proof that your business exists. For newer startups, we found that Yellow Pages or Google Business Profiles were the easiest ways to obtain this.

Neither of those are authoritative and both are filled with fake information based on my experience. It's just a bunch of theatre so DigiCert and Entrust can pretend they're doing something significant while charging an exorbitant amount of money for something that could be automated after the first year (until trademark expiration).

I've personally had people doing the "verification" (not DigiCert or Entrust) for a code signing certificate ask me to provide links to local business listings to prove I exist. I could have sent them anything and they wouldn't know the difference. Instead I told them there aren't any official listings like that and asked them to cancel my order. Magically they didn't need it.

I want code signing to change and, since this is the same awful scheme, I hope it fails to gain adoption. I plan to push harder to abolish DigiCert as a vendor next time I get a chance. This kind of egregious pricing isn't the type of innovation I'm looking for in tech companies.

And this is in fact a good thing because the state benefits from higher tax revenue as a result of a skilled workforce.

The American obsession with making children pay their own way for everything is counterproductive at a social level and frankly revealing (and sickening) in terms of what it says about us as a people. God forbid someone (a literal child!) “gets something for nothing”.

This is really the core problem with America: a significant chunk of the population is literally mean and cruel and antisocial, in the sense that they oppose the idea of helping others as a concept in itself. People will search for reasons to justify their inherent belief that it should not be done. In fact in many cases they will actively promote cruel and counterproductive policies because it makes them feel better!

And as a result there's really not a single social system in america that is not rotted to the core even if it exists. Social Security is an insane mess to be on. Programs like food stamps are thrown to the states who underfund them in the best of cases, and in many times actually sabotage or deliberately shrink them, even when it results in receiving less money for the programs. That's the goal!
How much time does homeschooling take for you? Does it roughly equate to one full-time job? I have wanted to homeschool my kids but I am afraid I would have to quit my job or downshift to part-time.

And since they are different ages, I worry that if I taught them all at the same time, the curriculum would average into something too challenging for the younger and not challenging enough for the elder. How do you manage to meet all their needs at once?

This is a bit like the way San Jose grew out of fruit orchards driven by tech firms in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Interesting that there is more thought about urban design going in. The land is mostly rolling grassland hills studded with windmills that will stay given that previous landowners will keep earnings from the power generated. There is a 10 mile long waterfront along the Sacramento river from Rio Vista down to the confluence with the San Joaquin river. If developed as a wide boulevard with at least sections of public water access that would form the basis of a city. As for housing there will be scope for various novel approaches like the shared backyards at nearby Village Homes to tiny house enclaves. Given the tech ethos driving this I expect Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language will be the development "bible."
Codable (along with other derived conformances like Equatable, Hashable, and RawRepresentable) is indeed built in to the compiler[0], but unlike Serde, it operates during type-checking on a fully-constructed AST (with access to type information), manipulating the AST to insert code. Because it operates at a later stage of compilation and at a much higher level (with access to type information), the work necessary is significantly less. (It's difficult to compare Serde and Codable in a way that isn't apples-and-oranges, but at the very least, Codable makes use of information that the compiler has done, and has already needed to do anyway; there's very little manipulation it needs to do to achieve its aims.)

With ongoing work for Swift macros, it may eventually be possible to rip this code out of the compiler and rewrite it as a macro, though it would need to be a semantic macro[1] rather a syntactic one, which isn't currently possible in Swift[2].

The sourced ingredients are indeed regional. The menu is regional as well. The website is built on top of their mobile ordering platform. The mobile ordering platform requires your location to be able to route your order to the “correct” McDonald’s. This is done via requesting your location from Google or via location services within the mobile app.

This platform is used by a lot of different QSRs. Or Quick Service Restaurants. Dunkin, Starbucks, Taco Bell, Checkers, etc.

I know this because I built the platform.

The biggest hurdle to the platform was delivering your order to the store “just-in-time” for it to be hot and ready when you get there.
