RoR and whatever C++ based web backend there is count as a valid comparison in my book. But comparing the languages itself is maybe a bit off.

On a side note, you can actually compare their performance here if you’re really curious. But take it with a grain of salt since these are synthetic benchmarks.

If you want to be technical, you can call it Eastern Nagari. In practice, the name “Bengali–Assamese script” doesn’t seem to be used outside of Wikipedia and adjacent projects: it’s overwhelmingly called the Bengali script, with Assamese materials calling it the Assamese script. The fact that there are almost 20× as many speakers of Bengali as there are of Assamese probably contributes to this. (There’s also Manipuri, but it’s smaller still.) I find references to some ISO decision from June 2018 to recommend renaming the Bengali script to Bengali/Assamese script in Unicode (less than they were asking for, which was separate encoding due to some pronunciation differences), but I can’t see that this has happened. But I’m not familiar with the matter.

Google Translate has major gaffes in many of its less common languages. This is nothing particular about Assamese.
> The whole problem starts at (1) which is "create a business supported only by advertising revenue". That says your actual product is worth fuck all.

It's a bit more complex than that as the market is long oversaturated with products and services, that is, there are not enough buyers compared to the number of products and services, but that awful thing called consumerism calls for more and more production anyway to keep the machine going and prices down, therefore companies need to fight hard for potential customers attention, and one way to achieve that goal is to put their names on every possible free spot where one's eyes might look.
There's nothing wrong in being dependent on advertising, but at the level necessary today it simply doesn't scale anymore, and on the web a lot more than half of the (sometimes metered) traffic is already made of advertising, and is growing steadily.
We already know where this thing is leading: more and more advertising, coupled with less and less attention which in turn will generate the need for even more advertising.

It doesn't scale and it doesn't work anymore like it should. I would rather start looking right now for alternatives, for example one where (local) governments convert a tax collected from all registered companies to a system of unobtrusive advertising which by rotating equally, still being weighted according to the amount of investment in research, production, personnel, etc. would guarantee fair exposure to all businesses. That would be however deeply against current idea of uncontrolled capitalism, though, therefore we likely will have to wait for the day the world will be ready for a more mature, harmless way of doing business.
Yes, but if you're comparing language performance that's important.

historically, i get what you mean about ‘ghetto’ or ‘rough area’. i see your point about not intending to be racist, and that’s fair. words have history, and ‘ghetto’ has long been linked with minority groups in a negative light. i’ll be more conscious about the terms i use.

about the dashcam footage, i think we’re seeing different things. it’s true, some of the behavior in the footage is similar to what’s normal in parts of asia. cultural habits can clash, and it’s rough to see. but i agree, it’s probably not deliberate, just different habits.

and you’re right, some drivers are just inconsiderate. but an autonomous car, with its 360-degree awareness, might handle things like unexpected merges better than we think. it’s a good point, technology might adapt to these situations more efficiently than we anticipate.

‘jaywalking’ is racist in origin, a term used to denote ‘jays’ who didn’t understand the rules of the road because the rules where so new culturally. it’s a fitting term, but poor narative, for the clashes you’ve identified in social expectations
> All of the advanced tracking technology would be unnecessary if some people browsed through their adsense consumer account

Well yeah, if you do all the tracking officially and up front there's no need to tack it on, but that's not a win.

Thereby ensuring that the intermediary does the tracking.

None of this gives the user privacy.
I know exactly what the drawbacks of nuclear energy are. I still see it as the best reliable source we have, with the lowest fatality track out of all energy sources, once you factor in facts/everything. Especially the hidden costs of solar power and wind power on the environment (through e.g. dirty energy and chemicals used during their production, or lack of recycling) is overall something that is understated in the grand scheme of things. And on top of that, they are not reliable with regard to energy production, so they are not even in the same ballpark as nuclear.
This just brought the price of electric cars in line with petrol cars of the same size.

When Tesla introduced the Model S there were no other electric sedans on the market.

Tesla introduced the Model X in 2015, it’s now 2023 and you still have to wait almost 2 years more if you want Volvo’s competitor to the Model X. Even with all the amazing subsidies Volvo is still a decade late to the party!
It's pretty similar, yes.

If you don't care about the ABI being stable then you can use a Rust-based ABI, but you're essentially just static linking everything then. Not sure how that works out for the game developers.
Expired First Aid kit? Common enough all inspection places I know sell them. Windshield cracks? There is hardly anythinh more obvious, and in Germany repaired / replaced for close to nothing. Unalligned headlights are a hard fail, true, as are worn / too old tires and brakes.

I got notices for worn wipers and too low wiper liquid, but never a hard fail. Unless there were other hard fails on the list, then they got added. That happened once so far, the most serious issue being the not properly working headlights (still have to track down the wiring issue). Never failed for tire inflators, never saw those being checked or asked for.

But again, Teslas Model 3's issues are mainly suspension, brakes and steering it seems. Together with constantly worn tires on one side only, I'd guess the whole suspension design, geometry and load distribution is bad by default. Most of the time this tire wear patterns are user errors, aka bad tuning attempts and tire choices, bad tire pressure...
IPv6 Unicast and Multicast. Seems like any consumer router made in the last decade should work as long as IPv6 is enabled. Consumer routers vary widely in software quality though.
Like many I appreciated seeing Antirez's kilo project, and went my own direction with a trivial fork: adding support for an embedded lua scripting language, allowing multiple buffers, and flexible syntax highlighting for different languages, etc.

For me one of the challenges was getting UTF8 support, since I live in Finland and am exposed to ä, ö, and other characters. It was a fun learning experience, even though I never intended it to become a "real editor" and I continue to use emacs on a daily basis.

Quickly looking over the (closed) bug reports I see the discussion I had with myself back in 2016 which largely caused me to rewrite the core in C++ so I could take advantage of modern facilities to make UTF8 work more easily:

He merely asked why it’s considered a startup. Startup companies take employees from established competitors all the time. Startups can also make products poorly too.
Reminds me of when our router failed at work. Every machine got booted off the network, except mine. Digging in, my machine somehow got assigned an IP that looked like our public facing IP, not a local address.

We replaced the router, but the problem turned out to actually be that a construction worker had accidentally cut our fiber line.

Absolutely no clue how my laptop got to the internet. It must have failed over to some other WiFi network or something

We don't have a national curriculumn. If you start requiring college level general education from high school students, you're biasing selection against kids whose schools can't or won't provide those classes. There's no way to force local schools to change without a major overhaul of our entire system.

We don't do that in the United States for any other undergraduate professional degrees. Engineers, accountants, pharmacists, nurses, teachers etc... all require college level general education.

Eliminating that is not realistic.
The Neat Programming Language
I too have made a language! Hope you find Neat interesting. It's heavily inspired by D, except with reference counting instead of garbage collector. Also, it has macros.

In my experience they have been the most rock solid piece of all the smarthome tech for a decade for me in multiple homes and apartments. I still have and use the original bulbs that came in my first starter kit.
None of those tools asked me to cite them. Bram asked that I give to his Uganda charity, and I didn't complain that his software wasn't "free" enough.
Yea neither are teslas, read the fine print.

No, not "little more"; the worst is ads literally using browser vulnerabilities and serving malware.

Ad blocking is not theft. If it were, leaving the room with the television on while ads were playing would also be theft. Youtube is freely sending people content. No one is forcing Youtube to send them cat videos. No one is acquiring Youtube videos illegally via torrents.

Ad blocking is only possible on Youtube because Youtube insists on doing big data auction based advertising. If they wanted to, Youtube could embed ads in the video stream making it impossible to block them.

Youtube does not have a right to display whatever content they want on my devices. If they freely send me data, I have the right to display that data however I can on my device.

If Youtube wanted they could end the utility of adblock today. They could only send data to people who paid. They could embed ads into the video stream. It is their choice to make adblocking possible on Youtube.
Only the formless.

As someone working on a language myself, I found this to be very high-quality material! It aligns with a lot of my thinking, and it’s educational.

A random part of interest: I followed the link about how linear types and exceptions don’t mix: https://borretti.me/article/linear-types-exceptions In it, the author explains how linear types always need to be explicitly destroyed, and if you end up in a “catch” block, you can’t easily go back and destroy things that are now out of scope, which control flow got interrupted while doing things with. “Why not just destroy things when they go out of scope?” I thought. The author addresses this, saying that types that you have to “consume” “at most once” are called affine types, and the compiler can clean them up for you, and it solves the problem with exceptions. Rust has affine types, and you don’t have to explicitly “destruct” every string/object/resource using the appropriate destructor for that type, manually, as you do with linear types (of course, the compiler will make sure you do it, but you have to do it).

So why does Austral use linear types, not affine types? The reasons given do not really resonate with me (but I’m not a systems programmer); it’s that the compiler would have to insert hidden function calls, and secondarily, for temporary/intermediate values, the order of invocation might not be obvious; plus, maybe the programmer not doing something with a value is a mistake. I’m really glad the reasons are written out, however.

In other areas I feel very aligned with the author, such as on the value of required type annotations and local inference rather than global inference, and I’ve saved the link to refer back to the way the opinion is stated.
Not the original poster, but I visited Almaty and Shymkent in Kazakhstan this summer. I met a lot of nice and warm Kazakh people. Would love to visit Almaty again and explore other parts of the country this time.
okay since these arent going to to away, lets try something else:

one stop gap solution would be making it more streamlined and standardized to make a license

these are antagonistic tolls because the conditions are onerous

you do something ambitious and lucrative, patent owner comes out of the woodwork and says “cease doing that”, “pay me this toll” or “cease doing that and pay me this toll” or “pay me this toll and continue doing that”

and you’re like “no, thats ridiculous, have fun in court” and then they go have fun in court and you freak out

its a state sanctioned monopoly, the state should standardize how the licensing is done. a model uniform patent license, almost like an insurance model that businesses pay into maybe even from existing fees, where patent holders file claims to that insurance pool
It would make it more clear, but in this case each Use of They was used right after the subject was mentioned. it stole only be confusing if They was used after multiple subjects are mentioned at once. But all pronouns can suffer from this.
People don’t realize that even corporations have budgets and have to choose what to invest in. It’s not as if TSLA is paying dividends. All of the money that comes in goes to somewhere.

They chose to invest in certain things (sales, manufacturing ramp up, pickup and semi development, charger network, driverless development etc.) and not in others (panel gaps, fit and finish, etc.)

Easy to decide you disagree but it is working for them.

That sounds awful, I’m so sorry to hear that and do hope that she can make progress.

If I may, this is a point I’ve been thinking a lot of lately though - as in, is the “oh there’s many people out there who have it way worse, so be thankful for what you have” mindset actually healthy?

Of course there will always be others worse off… and the inverse advice is also widely accepted: “never be the smartest person in the room”, “always look up, not down, to grow”, etc

I’ve been processing this in the context that I’m on the cusp of needing to give up on some life dreams, at least for a long while.

I’m glad to be shut down if this isn’t the right place for this discussion

For Zigbee, you need a hub for apps to work because the Zigbee protocol is its own thing. If you are lucky, it is Home Assistant and can use that on local network. If you aren't using HA, then it is custom hub that talks over the Internet to just that app.

Big advantage of Matter/Thread is that don't need a hub with its software. It is IP-based protocol. On Wifi or Bluetooth, your phone talks directly to the devices. On Thread, you need a gateway to translate from Wifi to Thread. Your phone only needs to know about Matter.

I don't think Matter devices talk over the Internet, I think they use non-routable IPv6 addresses. You can use HA to control over Internet but that uses the HA app. I don't know what other apps do, probably the same custom thing as with Zigbee.

Matter works similarly to HomeKit, with direct access to devices, but Matter adds the low-power Thread. It is also standardized so that could have generic Matter app instead of every device being its own app. And can add support to HA instead of custom Wifi and Bluetooth devices.

Ye it is quite strange. And the timing of the what I believe is an artificial sentiment shift is very much tied to a specific war.

Anyhow, nuclear power plants are in them self a major national security weakness. Especially with these put small reactor everywhere cracy talk. But then again "national security" is about "security" about as much how the "defense industry" is about "defence".

I sometimes feel that nuclear power is a proxy discussion for something else that is also not very popular among the voters. It kinda makes sense if you just replace "power" with "war".
You might survive 32F but you can’t possibly make it for very long if you have to be that cold night after night.

In the mid-80s I learned Apple II hi-res assembly language graphics from a series of articles in Creative Computing. Based on this, I wrote a tool in BASIC to spit out pre-shifted shape tables for use in games. As a high school kid without access to the Internet, this was the way to get access to knowledge that only professionals had.
I read about them elsewhere; one of the details I remembered is how at some point they started noticing fast-moving "stars" in the night sky and the father realized they must be man-made artificial objects (satellites).
This is the key part that most people are missing.

Standard thermal electricity generation is a very mature technology, no matter the heat source. Turbine-based combined cycle natural gas generation was a bit of a step up, but it used already mature tech: jet turbines.

Solar and wind and batteries are fundamentally different, and more like integrated circuit technology or DNA sequencing: falling in cost at a tremendous rate.

Looking at current prices or current installed bases of solar or wind or batteries is not very informative for assessing the technologies. You really need to see the history of prices to project their future, then you need to start seeing that for each application, adoption is non-linear once the tech becomes the cheapest option for that application.

What I'm most surprised about on HN is how few commenters here seem to understand tech curves. The HN audience, of all audiences, should have the clearest view of how traditional energy industry assumptions are about to be disrupted in the coming decades. We don't know the full extent of the disruption, but views like Seba's of huge amounts of surplus energy, seem inevitable. Arbitrage in time and geography will be the money making opportunities.
Sounds like an FTC complaint around interoperability and anticompetitive behavior.

Hunting and gathering is fine if you have free rein of the land and live in a relatively productive area (for fruits and vegetables). From what I know of NorCal it does not naturally grow stuff you can pick and eat. Also hunting is relatively restricted around national parks and there is no mention of petrov doing it.
Yes. There are 23+k restaurants, how many of those are "fine-dining"? Put another way, you could go to a different Michelin starred restaurant every week in NYC and still not go through the list...

Also, not all Michelin restaurants are that good... (In NYC, I think they are because it is so competitive but I've been disappointed in SF and Hong Kong for instance).

So FYI - just because a restaurant has a Michelin star, it doesn't mean it is always packed nor good.
Police is funded with the local taxes: business, property and sales. Your articles show no evidence of Walmart not paying those, just the US taxes, which do not fund the police (at least directly, there are some federal grants to local police forces but those are: a) small fraction of the budget b) are given to pushing the federal partisan polices and not the actual enforcing of the laws).
