Author of ripgrep here.

ripgrep is way more abstracted than most greps because ripgrep splits a whole bunch of its functionality into crates. The idea being that others can then re-use the reasonably sophisticated infrastructure that ripgrep uses to write their own bespoke grep tools. ripgrep internals are more like a bare-bones and under-developed grep framework. If you go back to the initial version of ripgrep (0.2.0), you'll probably find it smaller and significantly easier to read. There's a lot less abstraction. FWIW, I generally regard my abstraction attempts here to be a partial failure. The hit to code readability has been quite large. I also fucked up at least one abstraction boundary. On the other hand, it has enabled people to maintain very small patches to make ripgrep work with other regex engines.[1] (And of course, ripgrep uses the abstraction to make it work with both Rust's regex crate and PCRE2.)

I wouldn't call Rust an easy language to learn. It could be easier depending on your background. For example, if you have an ML/Haskell and C++ background, then Rust will probably introduce very few things you haven't seen before (that being the borrow checker). But if your background is, say, Python, Java and C, then there are going to be oodles of things in Rust that will be novel to you. That basic vocabulary will be more difficult to acquire.

I'm somewhat surprised you feel confident enough in your understanding of Rust to declare you could replace 50 lines with 2 or 3 lines in Python though. Meh.

They are tools of encapsulation. I don't treat them as boiler-plate. I treat them as things that I use when I care about encapsulation. And when I don't care about encapsulation, I don't use them. My personal style is to lean heavily on encapsulation.

That’s likely due to sound conduction through your body. An isolated box inside another isolated box can reach well past +5db of improvement.

This is how you can deal with truly extreme sounds like rocket launches and bomb tests.

There’s some edge cases as distance doesn’t stack well with distance, but distance does stack well with ear protection.

Well, one thing social media didn't do is eliminate the self-absorption of the US universe. My (anecdotal) empirical observations and speculations about mechanisms that drive polarization have little to do with the US. The patterns we discuss are (alas) quite universal and other cultures are not at all immune to this.

Of-course if we zoom out to longer time scales polarization was rampant and lethal (across most of the world), in ways we thought or hoped we will never see again.

The tragic result of social media as they developed is that instead of helping fix known problems or help build consensus about handling emerging problems, they aggravate them, in ways that we only gradually start figuring out.
Affected a lot of people I know. Very disheartened by this.
Ok, then do you have a suggestion for an alternative, or do you just put up with OT?
While Elon is the only one with the intuition to bail out a company as large as Twitter, there probably are a few dozen Rockefeller CEOs of various SV/tech-adjacent companies that can and do use their power to command acquisitions of medium size startups that have promising tech but suffer from issues of cash flow or business strategy.
Well that makes me smile. I should have figured there was more to that story!

“COM but you can actually implement it from the docs” is surprisingly compelling, honestly. There is just an absurd number of obscure corners in the original, from DCE RPC all the way to the highest levels (although those are not the only source of COM grief—IDispatch is an abomination; IStream is needlessly annoying; IMarshal is awful to use but at the same time I don’t think actually has a convincing equivalent elsewhere; etc.).

> Its not about "I must know the truth!" as much as its about making important decisions for myself and others in my social circle.

It can only about "I must know the truth!".

Important decisions take in all information and use it with the worldview model to determine the best course of action. What is actually true or false doesn't matter to that model. It's able to tease out what is important, usually...

Yes, sometimes the model fails, but that happens even with truthful information fed into it. As was pointed out earlier, the truth about COVID-19 was relayed through every channel imaginable, but was still no match for an erroneous model. Such is life.

In fact, it may even be an evolutionary adaptation for some models to become erroneous. Consider the local maxima problem in machine learning. One way to break out of that is to try something different and see if you can find a new maxima. We may have gotten here as a species because some mutation causing 'random defects' in the mind occurred, and some of those 'defects' proved to be better.

> This discussion only convinces me of the further need to build communities where truth is important

Is a community of one really a community? If you can establish truth, there is no more value in community. That's why we don't sit around talking about 1+1=2 all day long. We could, but why would we? It would be pointless. People only talk about things they are unsure of in an effort to expand that model. People will share what they think they know, but as the mind cannot handle full truths, you are only ever going to hear a simplification that misses important nuance even in the best case. The model has to account for that. As such, it is optimized to function without requiring truths.

All information is useful.

> Under Brandenburg, even advocacy of criminal conduct is constitutionally protected unless it is "directed" at inciting "imminent lawless action" and "likely" to do so. Bailey's joke plainly did not satisfy either of those prongs.

I just don't understand how a judge would arrive at this interpretation. Imminent lawless action is a very narrow scope and does not overlap with the "fire in a theater" danger of false alarm. How about directed societal, self-harm? Don't call the police if you're sick, they might shoot? This is a demonstrated effect, in areas of the US, prior to the pandemic. This kind of lawless misinformation would be in-addition-to.

How do you sell yourself a NFT to yourself if you don't already have $1,000,000? Something is clearly missing from your line of thinking here.
We don't know the price yet. The cluster might work out to similar price/performance to the Pioneer, just with half of each and a worse programming model.

Have you noticed the Pioneer price has increased from $1999 to $2499?

You can buy 16 of the 8 GB RAM + 8 GB eMMC Lichee Pi 4As for $1904 and you'll have the same 64 cores, the same 128 GB RAM, and now $600 left over to buy power supply, case, some nice ethernet or USB3 switch. You won't have that 64 MB of L3 cache, and you'll have a cluster programming model instead of a single OS instance.

I assume the 7 module cluster will give at least some cost savings over buying individual LPi4As, and certainly more convenience, though less so than a Pioneer.
Here is a recent letter written by Cem Hatipoglu, NHTSA's acting associate director for enforcement [1] in response to a letter from the California Attorney General requesting that the NHTSA to institute a recall of Kia and Hyundai vehicles [2].

> At this time, NHTSA has not determined that this issue constitutes either a safety defect or noncompliance requiring a recall under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301. The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard identified in your letter, FMVSS No. 114, does not require an engine immobilizer. See 49 C.F.R. § 571.114. Also, the test procedure specified in that standard does not contemplate actions taken by criminal actors to break open or remove part of the steering column and take out the ignition lock to start a vehicle. See id. § 571.114, S6. Here, the safety risk arises from unsafe use of a motor vehicle by an unauthorized person after taking significant destructive actions to parts of the vehicle.

Their decision makes sense, in a weird way.

A lot of value in some SaaS apps is in the initial investment it took to build it, not in the cost to host a customer's assets.

If the runtime costs of a new customer are negligible, would you rather have 0K or 20K?

Some years ago a burger joint opened in my neighborhood, a very hispsterish kind of place. I went once, and saw a message attached to the menu, saying that 50% of the revenue obtained from every burger would be donated to some cause du jour, probably climate change related, bla bla bla. To me it signified that the burgers they sold were at least 100% overpriced when compared to what they should cost if they were trying to have a profitable business. Fun fact: they were, and their burger joint went under in a couple of months. Capitalism wins in the end, it doesn't matter if you want to fight it, the sun always rises again.
In Artifex v. Hancom it was ruled that because the defendants did not agree to the contract terms for a proprietary license, the terms defaulted to the GPL which they were found in violation of as a license, not a contract.

This is not what the motion for summary judgment in Artifax v Hancom ruled...

The issue was not whether the GPL was a contract, but rather what the proper measure for damages should be. The Defendant argued $0 because there was no royalty owed for the GPL license, but the court ruled that the correct measure for damages of this breach of contract should probably have been the royalty that would have been paid if Defendant had entered into the commercial licensing contract which would have applied if they had entered into the proper license for their intended use of the copyrighted material. However, as this was a motion for summary judgment and not a ruling on the merits, it has no precedential value.

And with respect to Jacobsen v. Katzer, the issue was that the Plaintiff was seeking to enforce copyright infringement provisions in lieu of pursuing the infringement as a breach of contract. The Federal Appeals court ruled that a breach of an open source contract constituted both a breach of contract and also a infringement of copyright. The point of the case was to allow a second cause of action because copyright infringement claims are easier and usually more monetarily valuable to pursue than a breach of contract claim.
A large cheese is $25, and 18” is quite large. Expensive maybe but it’s legitimately good pizza as other have said.
I do like the idea theoretically as a deterrent against bad actors abusing the law to bully weaker parties - but the difficult part is in the details of implementation: how do you separate intent to abuse from incompetence?

Also confusing the mix here is who you are punishing when violations are found - is it the attorneys drafting the agreement? They're as likely to be unaffiliated with the company executing the contract as not, not everyone bothers with in-house counsel. Is it the company leadership forwarding the contract?

What's the scope of the punishment? An embargo on all new legal agreements for a period of time, or only with the parties to the bad contract? A requirement for change in legal representation? Now we get into overreach questions on the punishment side.

All of that to say I am guessing the reason something like this doesn't exist yet afaik is because it's a logistical nightmare to actually put into practice.

The closest I can think of to something that might work is like a credit score/rating for companies for "contract integrity" or something that goes down with negative rulings - but what 3rd party would own that? Even just the thought experiment spawns too many subqueries to resolve simply.

None of that contradicts the fact it's a good idea - just not sure if even possible to bring to life!
Asserting something does not make it true.

I disagree - nobody "should" read Moby Dick. As in, don't read it because you saw it on a "Top 10 books" list, or had it recommended to you by a friend. Everyone on their reading journey is at a different spot, and got there a different way. So I never recommend Moby Dick to anyone, even though it was one of my favorite reading experiences of my life, for fear that it isn't for a person at a certain time. Once they're ready for it, they may find it, and love it.

That's a really interesting effect, but as a product, I don't see how it's superior to modern small form-factor filters from Sawyer, Katadyn, etc.

> soldiers won’t wear their hearing protection around loud noises and in combat

I haven't been in combat, thankfully, but I assume the problem is that you also want to hear quiet sounds clearly, and others around you talking etc?

In the audio world we would fix this with a compressor or a limiter. You set a loudness threshold and then reduce the component of the audio input that's above that threshold in volume by a fixed ratio, e.g. 4:1. A limiter is the same but the ratio is infinite (or near it), so the threshold becomes the maximum loudness. Basically, reduce the dynamic range.

I wonder how much it would cost to have active processing like that integrated into hearing protection. I'm sure they've thought of it.

Or maybe I'm thinking too fancy - maybe you could achieve the same thing without electronics. Loud sounds are just more pressure after all... could we have a little hole that's open in normal conditions but loud sounds push it closed?

I know this is probably one of those things where "random idiot on hacker news thinks he has a new idea that we've of course already researched thoroughly in the industry" but if these exit it'd be cool to see, or if they don't it'd be cool to know why.
One thing? It does a logical and and then negates the result. The shell doesn’t really let users compose commands this way, but

alias NAND="AND | NEG"

Also, a NAND command would need to have 2 stdin’s.
A common retort to this is that companies also exist to compete (and thus make a profit), so those that use AI to augment their staff rather than replace them will be at an advantage.

Honestly, I can see it, but there are definitely SOME jobs at risk, and it will almost certainly reduce hiring in junior positions.

I am a manager in a dev team. I have a small team and too many plates spinning, and I’ve been crying out for more hires for years.

I moved to using AI a lot more. ChatGPT and Copilot for general dev stuff, and I’m experimenting with local llama-based models too. It’s not that Im getting these things to fill any one role, but to reduce the burden on the roles we have. Honestly, as things stand, I’m not crying out for more hires any more.

Doesn't that just kick the problem down the road to the definition of peace and general prosperity? If people have irreconcilable differences over what those mean, they still may not be able to find the common ground needed for running a business or country. With something more nimble like a business it's easy to imagine vastly different views on how the business can prosper, which makes the benevolent dictator (business owner) model all the more attractive.
Is this a chain-style restaurant? Fine dining haute cuisine? Fast food?

What happens when they don't want to do the actual work anymore? Do they still keep their partial ownership of the restaurant and hire wagies? What if they can't work anymore? It's not easy to step and fetch for 10 hours a day at age 50. What if they just need to reduce their schedule to 10 hours a week (and not pull their weight)?

What if most people willing to do grunt work also aren't very good at managing a restaurant? At menus, at book keeping? What if people prefer to be served by the cute young things that you tend to see at many chains (even if they're dressed more modestly than those at Hooters)? You know, the same sort of people who are just unlikely to want to become invested in such a place, where they'll be tied down to it?

Of note, this appears to be a Google Collection item, not an actual browser/Chrome bookmark: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/13128452.

Clients also have datastores, localstorage, sessions, cookies, indexdb, service workers, etc. Messing up a service worker is particularly annoying, but messing up storing an authtoken can also leave your users in a broken state.

On the backend you can (hopefully) revert from a backup, or conjure up a clever SQL query to patch things up. On the frontend however, well, you just have to wait for the user to call you to tell you it is broken, and then tell them—somehow—that they must delete the service worker.

Oh yeah, and you also have to deal with shipping a feature which brakes everything for users on 5 year old versions of Safari.

Yeah, Ben’s primary talent seems to be weaving a narrative about how he’s successfully predicted 18 of the last 11 trends to reshape the industry, and to make it sound believable. Nvidia’s executing on all cylinders, and has been for a while (some missteps in the consumer marketing space notwithstanding). I’m still kicking myself a little for not buying some of their stock a year ago when it was obvious even to a simpleton like me that they were very well positioned to capitalize on current trends.

It makes sense. It is an array. When you remove the first element, all elements in the array have to shift to their new indices "left" (one less than their previous index). When you unshift, all elements must move their indices up by 1, to the "right". In theory it is staying at the same memory address (unless unshifting causes the array to double in size to account for further growth... then it will be given a new memory address).
