While I think it's often a silly way to advertise, I think "utterly despise" is... caring a bit too much.

Sometimes I might care. In this particular case, it's useful for me to know it's written in C, as that's a sign that I'd never want to use it (the fewer internet-facing things written in C I use, the safer I'll be, in general).

But yes, "$FOO: A $BAR in $LANG" is generally a pretty lame way to advertise your project. Advertise based on what it actually does for me, not on your implementation details.
I don't think this is a "loveletter". It's at least 23 years old and is still maintained so it seems to be a serious project with people using it.

Nice presentation (from 2021)! I had never heard of Homa!

I wonder how it compares to QUIC, too...

Yeah but this is "progress" and progress is always and by definition good, so if you don't like this you're just a luddite or something, right?
You are right, it's unfair because there is no strong evidence to make that assertion.

I don't mind about what are your personal political affiliations or sympathies, however, I still maintain that this topic is textbook against the guidelines, and because of that I'm still afraid we will see post against candidate X in the front page in a few months. Time will tell.
Hi Dang can you please specify what I did wrong here? Is it the back and forward?
If you don't know what a love letter to C is, maybe you aren't the target demographic. That's fine, but there's no reason to get up in arms about it.

That limitation was introduced in Panther. Mac OS X 10.0 through Jagwire support the 603/604 even though their installers block installation on those models and they don't include full driver support (hence XPostFacto).

I haven't gone back to check this, but I assume users flagged the posts and moderators didn't turn off the flags.

We only turn off flags when it seems like there's some basis and at least some chance for a reflective, substantive discussion. That isn't possible in the immediate aftermath of a shocking event like the atrocities of Oct 7—the reactions are necessarily going to be reflexive rather than reflective; completely understandably so—but the odds of any thoughtful conversation in that state of shock are basically zero.

Not that this thread or the related ones have been anything close to what I would wish for on HN, in terms of thoughtful conversation, but unfortunately we don't have the ability to make that happen, and not discussing the topic at all seems out of the question as well, so here we are with no good position and no solution.
There's a lot of cause and effeect assumptions in the article.

French has long been the lingua franca of the top tier of the international upper class, due to history changing outcomes of the Frankish dynasties. In fact, the French language's status, as such, is indirectly where we get the term lingua franca. Modern English Royalty, for example, may not always be fluent in French (many are) but they are more likely to have second language instruction in French than in other languages. Knowledge of certain French words and phrases is essential to English language literacy. There isn't another language for which the same can be said in the context of the English language. The invading Normans were as likely to be fluent in English, Dutch, and/or German and they were in French. The medieval conflicts between the Norman-English and French Kings are best characterized as a conflict between different Houses of the Franks.
Again, whatever you call it calling two very different things the same name is fundamentally dishonest. But that’s par for the course for politics.
In my experience, yes, big companies are boring. Sometimes a particular department might be good, but most of the jobs are boring. There tends to be many levels between you and the people making the actual decisions and you have little input. There is usually a large bureaucracy with a large number of busy work tasks. Being rewarded for you contributions (or just being rated accurately) is not a given and can lead to disappointment.

There's really no avoiding it. You're trading your life for money - that's how jobs work from an employee perspective.
Ford also allegedly had a stroke upon seeing film of the concentration camps.

Oof, as someone who has written hundreds of thousands of lines of C (at least), I'm not sure I'd write it a love letter. Maybe a letter of grudging respect, where I break up with it.
I get that, I really do, but the lines are often much more blurred here. If I had a penny for every supposedly useful thing "written in Rust/blazing fast", I would be rich. I think people should be a lot clearer when they write software that isn't really intended to be used. Most of what I see exists in the middle ground, where it is written as though it will not be used, but then put out in to the world as if the author wants people to use it.
Does it eliminate heavy metals? PFAS? Every type of plastic? Literally every other type of contaminant that I haven't thought of? Is every batch of the end product tested thoroughly? Even if contamination is rare, is it as rare as other sources of garden soil? Why would I chance it when I know the source is dirty?
Glad to see this is being brought up.

It’s obnoxious how many companies are throwing recycled plastics into consumer goods (watch bands, hats, phone cases, some clothes even) with no regard to health consequences.

Cynicism may sometimes seem smart, in this case it leads you to stupid conclusions.

While another war between France and Germany would have been unlikely for the reasons you state, it absolutely wasn't a given that the countries would develop cordial relations given their shared history. I call that a miracle. It's something we owe to de Gaulle, Giscard d'Estaing, Helmut Schmidt, François Mitterrand, Helmut Kohl and others -- others in their place may very well have chosen a different path.

History is full of examples of countries being hostile to each other even though cooperation might be beneficial in the long run. In fact, it's probably true for the Israel/Palestine war as well.

Oh come on, you've never done something just for the passion of it? Not trying to earn money or get famous, you just do something because you personally enjoy it with no other motivation than that.

Even if you haven't, a lot of people do stuff purely for their own personal satisfaction. That's what a "love letter to x" is. You just do it for the love.

We are going into a weekend, I challenge you to do something just for the love of it.

Most of it is hydrocarbons, which a sufficiently thorough decomposition process ought to be able to turn into CO2 and H2O. (And maybe HCl in the case of the chlorinated plastics? I guess that's neutralized with a base to make a salt?)

I don't know a ton about this, but it looks like plasma gasification plants achieve something like this -- producing syngas (mostly H, CO), metal nodules, and a slag material (which seems to roughly be, "igneous rocks or sand, but man made"). I'm curious about the composition of the output products. But it seems to usually be net-energy-positive. This seems like a good intro:

Sci-fi:

I wonder if there are methods from physics that could be used (even if not now cost effectively) to more thoroughly isolate the various elements rather than having the (it seems not totally understood?) chemical reaction of the various components of the plasma as it cools? Like a big industrial scale mass spectrometer? Like the cyclotron scheme to separate isotopes of uranium in the Manhattan Project? Then you could know, "all the lead is in this beam over here" and "all the mercury is in this beam over here", and so on... That'd be neat. Have some plasma physicists working on recycling instead of on fusion...

(At this point I Google more...)

Interesting, so here they separate copper from zinc using a plasma centrifuge:

And here they're looking (hypothetically) at using plasma separation to isolate the component elements in old NdFeB magnets, to recycle them:

I don’t think most people including those from the area would even associate the name with French, so there isn’t the same intentionality. It’s the same with indigenous language-origin or Spanish-origin place names in the US/Canada, our place names in general that are often centuries old and conceptually separate from their origins, and feels quite distinct from intentionally trying to emulate a foreign language pronunciation for one language but butchering words in another language (not that that’s unique to the UK).
I complained a few months ago that HN was the other way about an article that was 'disappeared' from HN on the atrocities in Gaza at the hands of Israel, it had scholarly backing.

Your comment doesn't stand to any reason and discussion here on HN are highly moderated, in my opinion at times it's balanced towards Israel as the term 'anti-semitim' is thrown around to stop any discussion and valid criticism about the Gaza war.

You can't appease everyone and 'anti-Semitism' has been weaponised very successfully by people who know exactly what they're doing.

Is there a checklist / criteria of judging whether the users can have a "reflective" or "reflexive" political discussion?

Would 9/11 not be covered because it would be too "reflexive"?

Why was this discussion of this "genocide" viewed as not too "reflexive"?

You have to see how it looks very one-sided. It would be nice for political discussion topic allowance details to be explained.

Currently it leaves a lot of assumptions as you point out.

"power". This doesn't mean anything. LiFePO4 scales power to energy storage at a rate of about 1:3-1:4.

1GW of "power" they can supply for 4 hours if you completely discharge the battery.

But that's it. Batteries could supply 100% of the grid briefly, and you still wouldn't be anywhere near having completed a switchover.

Unfortunately, I don't think this is realistic. Is it provable?

Does it require use of an "official" programming language and libraries, that are guaranteed to be maintained? Is Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS still supported? That's what I used for my dissertation, in 1993.

Where would you say 80% of the daily trade volume comes from on average?

The powers to be that I can think of:

institutional investors / fund managers slowly reallocating (selling stuff off, buying stuff) daily

high frequency trading algorithms trading shares back and forth to each other in an artificial way to generate synthetic volume/movement

market makers reacting to option chain volume to remain neutral

"hedge funds" / "quant funds" running their algorithm

what do those algorithms look for at the "minute by minute" scale if not things like support/resistance/patterns/volume?
Perhaps require making a docker container and writing a test script that includes inputs and expected outputs. There could be a website that loads those docker images and shows that the tests pass. Tests could be referenced within the paper. Would still require scrutiny to make sure that code doesn't hard-code the outputs.

This should be the way. Folks will forgive sloppy code on a “fast” paper. However it may invite more replication attempts.

Why? If there's any possibility those homes will draw 100% of their power from the grid on any given day, then the cost of infrastructure will be pretty much the same since a grid failure is a disaster.

And there is a 100% chance they will, like my home is today, because 11kW of solar is making about 800W due to cloud cover which has persisted most days of summer.

GDPR was proposed in 2012 and implemented in 2016. Any reasonably intelligent observer would look at the contents of the GDPR and predict that the EU was interested in sweeping regulation of large American tech companies, and it would have been foolish to think they'd stop at data use. Apple's legal experts and lobbyists are more than just reasonably intelligent observers, they were interacting regularly with EU regulators and knew that change was on the wind, even if they didn't know the details before 2019.
I actually did make a quick search to see if I was blowing hot air, and found this blog post that shows a bunch of benchmarks over time with a fairly typical Raku/Perl flavored text processing task, and it was taking 0.23s for the July 2022 release vs. 0.59s in Jan 2016 [1].

So that's a pretty impressive improvement--3x over 6 years--but I remember Raku being numbers like 4x or 5x slower than Python on benchmarks from the last few years, so by my very sloppy math it's still got to speed up by at least 2x or 3x to go to match Python.

It's also possible that there has been a ton of speedup in the last year-and-a-half since that benchmark, or it's not representative, but that's where I got the idea from.

The benefit of linear TV was that everyone was on the same schedule so all the post-viewing social aspects worked better. It also helped the social aspects that there were three or four networks with all major content, so the odds were very good that any particular person watched the same thing as you did.

Almost the only substantial TV or movie discussions I've witnessed in the last ten years were about fandom-style properties - Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, the MCU, Star Wars. TV and movies in general are rarely discussed. If you share a fandom with someone you can talk about the fandom, if not then the two of you may as well be from different planets regarding media.
Well I do know, and I have close associates with very mundane qualifications, masters from non T50 school in a CS related but not CS field, working for non-FAANG large corporation as "senior" (think 2-3 yr exp) IC with good legal of course that obtained an O-1.
I also know those with T30 masters degree, much more impressive on paper but working for at the time some dumb startup that were denied. They are now doing something extraordinary outside the country.

Sorry but the definition of extraordinary qualification is very capricious to make the claim about it being "hard" a bit meaningless. There are a lot of factors, but it isn't necessarily hard to obtain.
Code which achieves nothing is called "boilerplate" and I've yet to find anyone passionate about writing it. The joy of programming, to me at least, is solving problems. Hence code which does not solve problems is not enjoyable.

> "I mean, you could reverse the question and ask "why are the Palestinians occupying Israeli land".

How? The West Bank, Golan. This is not the State of Israel's land. Never was. But it's being taken regardless. Israel's security justification might be taken seriously if it wasn't simultaneously supporting settlers who steal land. Stop them and you will find more international support.

> The Palestinians arent a people, per se. They are the random groups of different arab families that were living in the area at the time of the creation of the state of israel. Some are from iran, some from Syria, some from Jordan, egypt, etc. so we are not "occupying" their land because there is no "them".

This borders on racism and it still doesn't make the land they occupy yours. You need a stronger clam than conquest or an old book.
