Right 'cause JS is so well-trusted with large, important server side software that it must be "evidently idiotic" not to follow exactly in its footsteps. Unfortunately, Brian Goetz and Guy Steele spat this one out off the cuff after only two years of study and experimentation with alternatives and failed to see that it's evidently idiotic; neither did most people who've used the feature.

I think you might think the array instantiation is literal. Nothing prevents an array language from handling it in chunks under the covers. If I ask it to give me an array of 10 billions integers, it may not naively do that. Not an expert , just a thought.

Oh, it's just that on Hacker News, if a post is to let others know about a finished work of their own creation, people usually put "[Show HN]" in the title. Thus, your post would be called:

> There may be another lens through which to view this instead of "balanced critique of technology". Describing this as "sick" seems somewhat hyperbolic.

Well, when I used the word "sick" I was referring to the entire technological complex, specifically how it influenced finding jobs, that was sick -- not just the invention itself.

And sometimes it is necessary to pass strong judgment. What about everyone who raves about technology like it's the second coming? I hardly see anyone opposing their rabid enthusiasm.

> is it really technology that makes us anonymous or is it simply an emergent property of scale?

It can be both, but technology enables the scaling, and the scaling follows from our basal instincts to grab as much as possible. Therefore, the social development from the technological is almost unavoidable except under the watch of strict regulations and wisdom, which we DON'T have.

"You and other posters in this thread are reacting negatively because you don't like the idea of incels being depressed. You would prefer if they were just sociopaths."

I'm not sure what you're talking about. I don't disagree about the prevalence of depression being higher for incels. I have friends who are not "Incels" but are involuntary celibate. There are definitely some negative emotional heath impacts from wanting a relationship and not being able to find one.

I don't think I was reacting negatively, just calling into question possible issues with how the study was framed. I can see how that might appear negative since it is counter to accepting it wholly.
One thing I do like about California drivers - they do generally let you in. Hard disagree to not use turn signal in CA.

Really is fun and games in the abstract. Unfortunately we lose the idea that the roadways are a communal space, instead everyone else is just an obstacle. I love that fore-sight, the ability to predict a mere _30_ seconds into the future disappears for so many drivers. Just observe what people will do to gain 1 or 2 car lengths of ground, as if they could not predict that they would do effectively nothing swerving around to the lane that happened to gain 10 feet of open concrete.

Just my experience, but this was not at all what I saw growing up. It wasn’t even true among the kids with fancy/new cars where I went to school (public magnet school in CA). Were there some spoiled rich kids who didn’t work hard? Sure. But most of the wealthy kids were not slackers, and there wasn’t even a strong correlation.
It's more concise, which has value. In particular, think about how maths really consists of packing more and more concepts into higher level definitions. This is similar: higher level concepts become primitives and allow you to think faster and build more complex objects.

Stellarium is wonderful. My favourite feature is the ability to change sky culture. The Japanese one is so strange and poetic. A single band of small constellations that crosses the sky like a vertical line of Kanji and includes constellations with names like 'emptiness'.
There are a couple options for working around this. Lazy evaluation is indeed one option (e.g. Kap[0] uses it). Another clear option is loop-fusing the entire body together such that there are no temporary arrays.

Then there's the slightly simpler option of splitting the operation in chunks of a couple dozen kilobytes of input/output arrays such that unnecessary temporary memory usage is bounded; as far as I know no array language does this, but I hope to one day do something like this for CBQN. And this is even a thing that a user can manually do in an array language (and indeed often have to for maximizing perf).

Even if you choose "only while using the app", the app can work around that if it's registered as a navigation app. I've seen the "[app] is actively using your location" message in the statusbar when using both the uber and mcdonalds app, despite only granting the "only while using the app" permission. Also the mcdonalds app requires precise location access to see any of the offers/promos.
That's not entirely correct. It takes a day to pick up and a week to master :-). Well, it does take a little longer to learn all the nuances. Also, I've used this pattern in my personal apps (and for one app at work) and sometimes I felt that I needed to use a front end lib for a page, but after thinking about it I learned that I still didn't need a front end lib as hypermedia covered my needs.

I do agree there are times that a traditional front end lib might be needed but it is much rarer than we think.
I HATE Villeneuve's Dune.

Villeneuve leans so heavily into "show, don't tell" that the movie becomes a long trailer. It has lots of visual exposition, but no character experiences an arc or development. So much rich lore is passed by on the wayside, and no work is done to connect the dots between the plot points. Elements as essential as character motivations are nowhere to be found.

I understand wanting to keep exposition to a minimal, but there's a way to craft and weave it into the rhythm and pace of a story.

The reason Yueh's betrayal doesn't sting is because no effort is put into developing him or his relationships. The fall of House Atreides is rather dull, action fluff. The Spice, the Spacing Guild, the Mentats, and the Bene Gesserit are passed over for more CG and more action scenes. The flash-forward dream sequences of Paul are sloppy and don't do the forthcoming plot ramifications justice. The Harkonnens are turned into cartoons, and their one act of supreme cruelty is handled entirely off-camera.

I dearly love the books, but you shouldn't have to read the books to appreciate the film. It should stand on its own legs, and Villeneuve totally misses on that shot. He delivered incoherent action dreck. It's visually appealing, but it's practically a GPU advertisement.

I can't entirely hate on Villeneuve, though. Blade Runner 2049 is a masterpiece.
> Some will cuss you out in a nice way for you making them do their job close to closing hours.

Try asking a Swiss man in his late 50s/early 60s at a Swiss bank to do a medium-sized but achievable task at 15:00 on a Friday and see what kind of response you get. I had several under me, so I know firsthand that you'll likely get grumbling and pushback. You'll probably get the work product, but it will come with critical commentary.

Centralize Your Project's Dependencies
I built a web app that helps identify & centralize all dependencies for your GitHub project. It supports NPM packages out of the box, and you can create a custom YAML file to specify dependencies that aren't packages.

This can be enhanced over time to add other package managers, security checks, etc. I'd love feedback on if you feel this app is worth your time & useful!
I don’t think I’m naively expecting LLMs to magically fix things. The reason voice is currently a bad interface is that the agents are dumb, mapping verbs to hand-coded action trees. The missing pieces are first intelligence and second long-term adaptability/personalization.

Maybe that's the problem actually. We have to wait till Elon Musk turns his eye on the military and starts running it no matter what the states think of it.
A model that could reliably match up your work with similar artists and similar works (and point out the details) would be cool the have, tbh. Especially in music, where it's so easy to subconsciously copy some tune you vaguely heard somewhere before. Could set aside that worry of accidental copying, as well as give an objective measure in trying to steer towards a more unique niche.

> This is difficult for structural components of an aircraft because each redundant mechanism adds weight and decreases performance & fuel economy.

All structural (and other flight critical) components in an airliner are redundant. And yes, they add weight, decrease performance, and increase fuel consumption.

As for the door, it is also redundant. We'll have to wait and see to find out what the exact cause was before finding a solution.

The obviously loose bolts are certainly a problem. The process should be one mechanic installs the bolts, then an inspector inspects it and signs off on it.

If you watch "Aviation Disasters" (I watch all of them) there's always multiple causes for each accident, and multiple fixes. One crash happened because a maintenance worker taped over the redundant sensors so the airplane could be cleaned, and forgot to remove the tape. The inspection to ensure the tape was removed also failed.
Regulation can raise the floor of company quality, but nationalization also lowers the ceiling, especially if it means no competitors are ever viable. This needs more regulation, not nationalization.
>I felt Villeneuve effectively conveyed the dread of the inexorable emperor crushing house Atreides. We go because of duty, and we make the best of it even when our predecessor left us nothing we would need to be successful

I kind of hated the battle scenes, though. I didn't like any of the sardukar fighting scenes, or how the ships exploded etc. I don't remember the book well enough to know if it matched how it was described, but for visual mediums like movies instead of books it felt very fake.

Agreed about the mentats, and the ornrithopters. The cinematography has a lot of style but I'm honestly not sure if this particular style is to the movie's benefit or not. I can imagine it having looked a lot of different ways.

Overall the pacing of the movie felt...boring.

I'll watch the sequel but I'm not hoping for award winning movies at this point.
Editorializing this with an implied stutter really detracts from the points you're trying to make.
That's why every critical thing in an airplane is redundant.
I think in general men have to get use to rejection and it’s a tough pill to swallow. There seems to be by far more rejection than acceptance for a lot of young men, and it can be very difficult to persevere after being beaten down. I wish this would be researched more.

On one hand, what you say is the most important lesson IMHO, but I don't think it goes far enough down that path:

You and I are biologically the same as people who became Nazis; we have the same potential in us. When we imagine we are not is when we do wrong. Lots of ordinary Germans; smart, sophisticated people; and other people in many countries supported the Nazis.

At the same time, the people who embrace Naziism, or go along, or tacitly allow it, also have good in them. A tactic of such ideologies is a display of aggression, to scare you off; it's a political tactic that solidifies their movement by distancing members from everyone else; it also dehumanizes outsiders (also through disdain from them), allowing violence. In the end, it's a tactic, a display, a barking, scared dog. It may bite, but they are the same as we are, and have the same good inside, and have allowed themselves to be misled.

At first it seems slightly dissonant that this is on a .ru domain, given what Orwell had to say about Russia, the Russian revolution and Communism. But, on reflection, maybe that is all the more reason why a .ru domain is appropriate.

Don't sweat it. It's not hard. The dumbest sixteen year olds in America manage it.

But here's a pro-tip. You don't even have to learn to drive. Just choose one primitive skill and pick a corresponding vehicle:

Don't learn to practically drive at all, but can pass the test? Get a Tesla.

Can only learn to floor the gas angrily and drive in straight lines? Get a BMW.

Can only swerve recklessly across lanes? Get a Nissan Altima.

Can only drive at 30mph and then confuse everyone around you with lane changes? Get a Prius.

How strong is regent braking compared to engine braking in a manual? Does it feel like just staying in the same gear? Downshifting one?
Trust does not depend only on things that are illegal. For example you would not trust an obsessive liar, even if it is jus outside of work. For now. Because you will be convince it is a huge risk it will happen at work, sooner or later.

Same, you will not want to hire a famous womanizer. It will create chaos in your company or with clients. And you can find a huge number of examples to confirm that if what people do outside of work something that is considered negative, even if it is legal, it is a problem to hire them; maybe to keep them.
It is generally presumed that the driver who rear ends a stopping car is the one who is at fault. But this is a rebuttable presumption: the following driver can shift the responsibility if he can show that he was following at a safe distance and that the driver in front braked too aggressively/for no reason. For example, if you’re doing 70 on the freeway and the car in front of you screeches to a halt to avoid hitting a squirrel, you could prove this is unreasonable braking. If it’s a deer in the road, you’re going to have a harder time. It depends on the circumstances.
That's both not true and no longer true.

We generally mock wine-snobbery. There’s some element of stereotyping French things as pretentious. But mostly it is because that’s the brand of wine that is known by everybody to be fancy. (Hey, stereotyping is bad, but on the other hand we don’t mistake any British food for fancy, so at least there’s some begrudging respect built into the stereotype).

So really, congrats to Champagne for making a brand so well known that Wayne’s World can make fun of it and be sure that basically the whole audience will get the joke. I mean that sincerely.

You have to know a little bit about wine to know about Napa Valley. I think “it’s from NaPa Valllleeyyy” in a sort of silly voice is something that somebody might say. It just doesn’t have the reach.

I would think of this as not really making fun of Champagne. We’re making fun of being the kind of person that cares about Champagne.
I used Stellarium to generate the realistic (but somewhat over exaggerated clarity) skies for my web game. The day/night cycle only shows stars at :50-00 of each hour: earth.suncapped.com.

I'll edit into this comment a link to the texture files if I can, but the game uses compressed (ktx I think) textures since the star textures are large resolution, one of the largest game assets!

I picked a particular date, time, and place on earth for rendering the sky in Stellarium. It also had options for seeing (clarity) and which features to show, such as planets or space debris.
Ask HN: Languages Converging?
Am I the only one who seems to notice this trend, where most programming languages seem to "get inspiration" from other languages and in some way, almost all languages converge into the same language.

I was a Python dev for 10+ years, but now I lean more toward Go since the language offers just too many abstractions and thus too many ways to shoot yourself in the foot.

It seems to be the same that happened to C++, and it didn't end so well.
Huh? Isn't the privilege to be a bigot in a position to interview people?

60 years ago you can't deny the reality that some bigot had power and interviewed people and he didn't like "fruity" men (or whatever he'd have said back then).

Or the reality that he wouldn't have hired a woman. Or a black person.

And somehow it's privilege to point this out? Excuse me?
