If you read "Limits to Growth" as if it were some contemporary influencer or futurist's content, this might indeed be disappointing. But the truth is, "Limits to Growth" is one of the first attempt to articulate the fundamental limits to our strategy as a civilization. It is outlining how fundamentally flawed it is.

One might justifiably argue that the quantitative predictions made by the book hinder, or even compromise, the deeper, more important point of it. But the latter was unfortunately correct, and plenty of quantitative data are there to back it up: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06083-8.

Not necessarily true in many small towns across rural USA. If the major holding companies, e.g. Yum! Brands, McDonald's, etc. have all of their brands doing non-competes there might be only 2 independent fast-food joints within a 45-minute drive and few other jobs available.

> the vast majority of firefox crashes I experience now are rust panics

Have you considered that this might be precisely because Rust is catching and stopping something bad with a safe panic? And that the same programmer making the same mistake in C/C++ would have resulted in silent data corruption, a security vulnerability, and possibly a portal into the space between dimensions from which optimising compilers will happily allow the Others into our world because -- and I quote -- "that's allowed by the spec"?

I often see in the news some panic about a sudden rise in some rare disease, but it almost always turns out that the increase is just due to an improvement in detection, not a change in the actual prevalence.

I suspect that silent data corruption vs liberal use of asserts that trigger visible panics is in the same category.

Someone in this thread was complaining that they think exceptions are "dangerous" and gotos are "safe". Their thinking is probably coloured by endless stack traces from exceptions in managed languages, comparing that to the "oops I stepped over a mandatory cleanup using goto" in their own C code, which they probably won't even notice... because it's probably just silently leaking memory. Or file handles. Or threads. But not loudly and in your face!

Having close personal connection to the lab for a few years - He is very successful, very charismatic, and a consummate politician above all. He holds tons of sway over Northeastern admin (lucky to have such a big fish in their little pond), and of course at his Hungarian university he's basically god. Certain policies simply do not apply to him.

Anyway, in the lab there is very strong pressure for things to look right. Some students and postdocs play ball, and enjoy great success in their careers. Some get a little squicked out (use of funds, and the science, seemed to be possible areas of concern), wrap things up quietly and remain on good terms. One or two have major concerns and just kinda disappear. In addition to the treatment of foreigners and management style issues characteristic of academia (which tbh causes more anguish than any of the sketchier stuff).

There are of course a lot of other lazslo affiliated business ventures - startups, books, etc. Right now and for the past few years his big focus has been on producing fine art which can be pretty lucrative, and also .... A good medium for the things he likes to do with money/influence.

Anyway, very nice and charismatic guy, really successful, objectively speaking I admire him, but his name is also used as verb/improper noun in our household if that makes sense

Where's your proof?

Rust has far fewer UB than C yet its performance is comparable to C.
I think the difference is like you say in the real aircraft you can get a lot more task saturated. A sim feels like being a fly on the wall almost as if in 3rd person. But as far as manual handling goes, the real jet is much easier, runway textures and peripheral cues for landing are far more obvious in reality.
Human rights are cultural, for example the right to food and housing is seen by some other cultures as a human right. Does that mean the US ruled by tyrants for not recognizing that?

Human rights are not as universal as you might think.
> But here's the kicker: since the actual abstraction mechanism in our languages is procedural, we can only create essentially procedural abstractions. For all other kinds of abstractions, the leakage is close to 100% and we are left with just indirection.

Not quite true. "Abstraction" is what you imagine/design according to your needs and treat as a "Single Concept" (eg. a Design Pattern). The fact that it is made out of more granular elements i.e. machine instructions/language statements/procedures for a state machine does not change your ability to reason and work with abstractions at a higher level. While there maybe some "leakage" (mainly when things fail/need for performance) it is by no means total.

Also many people often equate Abstraction with Indirection since the latter is so prevalent in defining the former. But they are different concepts and have to be treated as such.
This is most likely just a security "best practice" that goes unquestioned. It is pretty much on the same level as blocking ICMP.

I remember in the past how I lost couple of hours trying to understand why I can't reach a remote instance via RDP, only to finally figure it was the port blocking on the office firewall.

I spent quite a while trying to convince the local sysadmin that this doesn't make any sense. His only explanation was "security" without any actual explanation of what is he securing us from.

In general, tunneling through HTTP2 turns out to be a great choice. There is an RPC protocol built on top of HTTP2: gRPC[1].

This is because HTTP2 is great at exploiting a TCP connection to transmit and receive multiple data structures concurrently - multiplexing.

There may not be a reason to use HTTP3 however, as QUIC already provides multiplexing.

I expect that in the future most communications will be over encrypted HTTP2 and QUIC simply because middlebox creators can not resist to discriminate. It may even be necessary to serve some random (perhaps AI generated) HTTP2/HTTP3 content to mitigate active probing[2].

I'd assume at some level of IO, blocks/pages/whole buffers are being read, as opposed to reading bytes one by one. So the sequental access takes advantage of this I suppose.

Ya, this is also a double edge of transit: if you have a nice convenient public transit system, so does everyone else, including criminals. This is why sometimes neighborhoods fight to keep bus routes or light rail stations out, basically the original NIMBY.

The Roman empire had a tradition of splitting the control of the areas between multiple people at several points starting from Diocletian's tetrarchy onward.

The last east/west split was different on that it was that last one.

In a way, you could look at the period of absolute control by a single person as an exception in Roman history.

Human rights are human, that's why they're called "human rights." If they were cultural, they would be called "cultural rights." Some people claim that food and housing are "human rights"; those people are factually wrong because food and housing are limited resources that require time and effort to obtain. (In contrast, speaking one's mind is something anyone can just do; it's an intrinsic property of being human.)
Curious about what you meant by "his name is also used as verb/improper noun in our household i".
If this was removed by Google and not the beeper mini team I feel like this move is going to make it so much harder for Apple and Google in any future antitrust legislation.

Apple was already getting flak in the media for beeper mini, calling in Google to help makes it seem so much worse (even if it was done without a specific verbalized agreement). The obviousness of this makes me wonder if there is something else going on here (or maybe they really are that blatant now?)

I'm a bit surprised that there hasn't been an amicus brief from O'Reilly, who really do get that the market for books is an ecosystem in which libraries are an essential component.
Barring some rare bug, I can say for sure that didn't happen. Posts on HN are never removed completely, except in cases when the person who posted it asks us to, and even then usually only if there weren't replies. Other than that, the most that happens is that a post gets killed, a.k.a. [dead] status, and any user who reads HN with the 'showdead' setting turned on in their profile can see those.

I'd like to know which HN post you're talking about, so I can say exactly what happened. Whatever post it was, it wasn't from the site opiniojuris.org. The most recent HN submission from that site was 10 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=opiniojuris.org

Calling "from the river to the sea" is a call for genocide of the Jewish people. So, can you pick a side already of which of the calls is legit and which not?
I find such sentiment flabbergasting. Do you claim that Germany and Japan continued cycles of violence because the Allies firebombed Dresden and nuked Hiroshima? We learned after the two world wars that peace is possible if and only if there is hope, reconstruction, and a magnanimous victor. Hold Israel and the UN accountable to that. “Pacifists” preach the myth that resistance is a futile tragedy. But unfortunately violence is that can only be stopped by violence.

This worldview also shows a lack of understanding of conflicts: why the “proportional response” assumption is nonsensical. Wars are extensions of political means, and the political objective is to remove Hamas as a viable regime or fighting force. However as much violence to achieve this will be expended: possibly no more if one side surrenders today. To think the cost will be or an eye for an eye is beyond naive. To think it should be is retributive.

Unfortunately wars tear down all humanitie’s values and no side is innocent. Yet justice is a stochastic process, such that each person thinks at the back of their head and judges should the decision must fall, whose cause they would get behind.
Thanks for your helpful comment! I was also struggling with the bad circuits voltage divider.
Is this because of a bug and might be fixed in the future or is it considered an unavoidable consequence of some design decision and will stay that way for the foreseeable future?

From what I understand about Rust, if something similar was possible in safe Rust it would be considered a bug and eventually fixed.

Ask HN: What would you expect from a fresher if you were a recruiter?
If you are an experienced person in the industry, then according to the current industry standards what do you expect what skills a fresher should have to stand out?
Good question. I worked at a company that tried to get everyone to sign noncompetes after a high level sales person left and stole clients. Not sure if consolidation didn’t cover it or if they didn’t have that, and if not why they went with non compete instead.
Has the beeper team made statements on this? I was just looking around and couldn’t find anything in my initial search at least
My PPL instructor said he had to unlearn some bad habits with students that had a lot of sim experience.
Looking at this from a pure CVE perspective, using Firefox rather than Chrome may reduce your exposure simply due to the fact that Firefox has a lower market share.
If that scenario ever played out, the workers would not be able to sign the agreement, so the employer would just have to concede. It would be far more costly to close down business (unless it was going to close anyway, in which case your comment is moot) than to take a stand and hire nobody.

Bedsides, if we want to pretend that in your made up scenario that the workers did somehow end up signing the agreements, the employers would quickly run out of people to hire. A small town – one too far away from anything else for others to come in to work – and where everyone has legally taken themselves out of the job market is not a good place to be in as an employer. While employers can benefit from non-competes under certain conditions, they are not universally beneficial.

You offer a fun thought experiment, but in reality a non-compete would not be offered here in the first place.
One important difference is that IIRC in most countrires everyone takes PISA, but only a self selected small group takes the GRE.
Hah, learned about the existence of this documentary just 3 days ago while researching how .zips work[0]. The last episode is supposedly about Phil Katz, co-inventor of the format and kind of a tragic figure.

And paywalls killed it. I kid I kids. Just having some fun here is all. I wonder what the article said though. Maybe it was to do with some new technology or a political problem. Those aren’t fun. But smoking weed and watching movies and having conversations with friends and all that crap sure is. And I can do that.

Couldn’t have done that in Nazi Germany though. No sir. That was a most unfun place. So maybe it’s a hypothetical about that?

Again I kid, just having some fun.

I never really liked Python much personally, I think it sits at an uncomfortable spot where it's still too verbose compared to other dynamic languages but not performant enough compared to static languages.

If I cared more about the expressiveness and the speed of prototyping at the expense of everything else, I would rather use Ruby which has much more stuff built-in and I'd accept to pay the price of its runtime penalty.

But if I cared more about performance, I'll rather use a static language like Go or Rust.

If I have to pay the dynamic language performance & maintenance tax, it needs to be worth it and I need to get some big advantages in return, otherwise I'd just use Go.
No not neccessarily. There are many examples of peoples who have wished their lands to become liberated from current rulers. I am for example thinking of Finland or the Baltics. It wasn't hateful of them to wish for that, and I never heard anyone even express that idea. There are ways to express hate, but this is not one of them.

As such the information added by colourisation is less "real" in this sense or entirely "false".

But that is simply not true, and can be proved by looking at the world we live in.

C became the dominant language precisely due to hardware constraints, and the ability to extract every last drop from limited hardware was back in the day more important than software working perfectly always. If this wasn't the case, other safer alternatives would have been preferred.

Unless in very specific domains, hardware advances have outpaced the software needs (eg. there is only so much compute power a spreadsheet user will need). That is why today we allow ourselves to think about "luxuries of the past" such as corectness, safety, ergonomics, composability etc.
Out of curiosity, what was their rationale for that position?
