You've never heard of BLM or Antifa or 'mostly peaceful but fiery' arsons I take it. I'm not surprised if there was some outlier activity (again, instigation of the that was largely the point). But I watched it live, and there is plenty of footage still being released (why hide it?). Officers were indeed taking pictures, etc. All I'm asking for is sanity, but clearly partisanship is more important. Sad day.
Bluetooth file transfer was always nearly useless in my experience, airdrop was somewhat revolutionary in that it actually worked reliably most of the time
You’re right it’s expensive,

I have infra in my house, not gonna lie it cost a lot, I have a rack with 30k of equipment in it (including 5 GPUs)

But this would probably run on an AWS P2 instance with is 0.90 USD an hour, or there’s lambda labs which is also pretty cheap (no affiliation, just satisfied customer)
A similar program on Windows is 3072 bytes. I compiled it using:

rustc hello.rs -C panic=abort -C opt-level=3 -C link-arg=/entry:main

Here's the program:

#![no_std]
#![no_main]

#[panic_handler]
fn panic_handler(_panic: &core::panic::PanicInfo<'_>) -> ! {
unsafe { ExitProcess(111) };
}

#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn main() -> u32 {
let msg = b"Hello, world!\n";
unsafe {
let stdout = GetStdHandle(-11);
let mut written = 0;
WriteFile(
stdout,
msg.as_ptr(),
msg.len() as u32,
&mut written,
core::ptr::null_mut(),
);
}
0
}

#[link(name = "kernel32")]
extern "system" {
fn ExitProcess(uExitCode: u32) -> !;
fn GetStdHandle(nStdHandle: i32) -> isize;
fn WriteFile(
hFile: isize,
lpBuffer: *const u8,
nNumberOfBytesToWrite: u32,
lpNumberOfBytesWritten: *mut u32,
lpOverlapped: *mut (),
) -> i32;
}

I didn't bother much with the panic handler because there's no reason to in hello world. Though the binary contains a fair bit of padding still so it could have a few more things added to it without increasing the size. Alternatively I could shrink it a bit further by doing crimes but I'm not sure there's much point.

It may be worth noting that the associated pdb (aka debug database) is 208,896 bytes.

> you created a non-trivial project from scratch

I think a lot of people overestimate the amount of effort it takes to create a moderately successful, useful project. Like, make a plugin for something. Demonstrate that you can solve a real problem competently.

If you have any kind of outside interests, you probably have an itch that can be scratched this way.
I didn't mean that using or programming the machine was simple, far from it. But the machine itself was simple.

If some pixel doesn't light up right on your C64, you can follow the path from your code to the electron beam in the monitor. That entire path could fit in a single person head. It is a puzzle but you have all the pieces in front of you.

Now, it is not a puzzle anymore, you just call some drawText() function and then some magic happens and there is text on the screen. If the magic doesn't happen, monitoring the output of your GPU won't help you, there is too much in between, some of it deliberately obfuscated. So you try random stuff that don't make much sense except that because of your experience, you know they work. Or more likely, someone with experience already did it, posted it on StackOverflow, and you found it using Google.
I just don't care. I get enough anti-Whiteness from literally all other media, why would I choose to watch more for pro-White "subtext"? Not interested in how they choose to peddle their latest propaganda.

I am very prejudiced against media that involves killing people for being White. I am very prejudiced against Netflix. I am very prejudiced against Hollywood. They have earned my prejudice.
Last week [1] Tesla notably got an Apple Engineer (named "James Harding" though that online profile seems to be gone now) to file a court declaration claiming there was evidence on the phone that the deceased driver was playing games. The action was notable because discovery had already closed and the declaration was not a deposition or anything.

This a notable detail that the linked CNN article neglects. E.g. the statement from "James Harding" likely pushed things in Tesla's favor, the statement could even have perhaps been fabricated (and/or it would have been prohibitively expensive to fairly interrogate the new evidence), and "James Harding" is likely absent from the settlement and could now be liable personally (resulting in a new lawsuit that won't be covered in the news).

Whether the driver was playing games or not, this case's outcome underscores Tesla's aggressively litigious behavior, which contrasts sharply with the issue of real highway safety. What if everybody could enable "Elon Mode" ( https://futurism.com/the-byte/tesla-trouble-elon-mode ) and just turn off safety features?

[1] https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/04/04/tesla-wants-apple...

> The family is unhappy about a decision by Tesla to submit a declaration from Apple engineer James Harding, stating that Apple had determined Huang was actively playing a game at the time of the crash.

> Furthermore, Tesla and Apple are accused of "trying to circumvent the discovery process" by using Harding's word as testimony instead of a deposition. The deposition is also submitted five months after the end of the discovery period, which meant that the family's lawyers couldn't question Harding before the trial itself.

> The lawyers have subpoenaed Apple for more information about the declaration. Apple responded in March that the lawyers were seeking "a substantial volume of Apple's privileged material."
And besides all the other remarks, both earth's and the moon's orbits are something like ellipses. So that the ratio of apparent size of the moon to apparent size of the sun is not fixed either. See annular eclipse.

You can't finance other countries by running a trade deficit. For example through the Marshall plan US ran a larger trade surplus than otherwise possible to help other countries rebuild. That's an example of financing others. The US trade deficits do provide other countries a different public good, namely a common medium of exchange, a.k.a. currency. In turn other surplus economies are financing the US. How sustainable it is depends on the interest rate. Right now it is close to being not sustainable due to the high (real) interest rate.
This is spot on. Very well said and in just two paragraphs...
On iOS, the code that you've modified runs in an interpreter but code you haven't changed runs the existing fully optimized AOT code that's already in your app.
A great citation showing how Tesla does not actually care about safety. After all, Elon just turns off safety (elon mode) when he tests the car.

Solar cells in shade act as diodes. They block the flow of electricity. It’s why we are doing inverters per panel now.
If it is a favourite task, then why do I not see more folks creating the smallest possible binaries, for programs other than "hello world". Is it truly enojyable. It is for me because I like saving space on the computers I own. But I am seeing many, many 10+, 20+, 50+ and 100+ MiB programs being written by others in recent times. Some are created in commercial environments, for commercial purposes, but others are allegedly written for the enjoyment. Is it not enjoyable to write small programs.
Has anyone studied yet how well this kind of analysis holds up to simply asking GPT to rephrase your words? The whole thing goes out the window if that kind of attack works nowadays.

About the same. So it's good we made it big for the future.

WARNING: UNEDUCATED AND POTENTIALLY IRRELEVANT AMERO-CENTRIC OPINIONS BELOW

I tend to agree with the other commenter, this guy should have registered as an individual without his VAT number and just use whatever receipt they gave him to claim the expense. I'm far too lazy to deep dive into French tax but a quick skim of [0] indicates that you can submit a "receipt" in addition to an invoice. Sure you can get audited but I would bet (and seriously, I'd love to take this bet at any reasonable set of odds, Author DM me) that no French tax auditor is going to be like "SACRE BLEU, clearly you're trying to deduct your super luxurious vacation to the programming language conference ILLEGALLY!" I'm sure 20 minute conversation would clarify any outstanding concerns they might have about this specific issue.

And I honestly find it kind of hard to fault the Conference organizers for this one. True, they clearly failed to account for this " Entreprise Individuelle" (we call it Sole Proprietorship in the states) case when defining the company/not company ticket scheme, but if you pushed me I'd categorize EI as a company too. It's sort of a non-company company, but they clearly think that people who are attending in direct relation to their business are willing to pay more.

tl;dr just ask them to remove your VAT ID and reissue the ticket.

I’ve been doing something similar using “cheap” Chinese band notch filters. Had no idea about this Disney process. Also using this for AI training purposes. It’s amazing what you can buy on Alibaba, fully custom frequencies.
Gonna be honest. I feel that using those glasses that look like they were included in a cereal box as UV safety glasses is peak low IQ. Risking your eye sight which is supposed to last a life time to see a tiny black spot in the sky = not a good investment. Everyone has experienced complete darkness before. It happens every day... While footage of eclipses can be watched online. I wouldn't blame victims if their glasses didn't work. But the design of those crappy 'eclipse glasses' (with no backing at the sides to protect peripheral vision)... indicates manufacturers don't give a crap about protecting vision.

I have these pesky touch typing habits that slow me down: pressing a key and its Shift key with the same hand, or not alternating hands for the spacebar. So I've built an app designed to fix these problems. The idea is to show correct shift keys and correct hand for spacebar to press.

I think there is a pronounced fall-off in the "gamification" interest too as a user progresses in karma. IIRC the last perk for high karma is downvoting comments at 501- no more fun perks to spend your Internet points on beyond that.

I also don't get the sense that people habitually check the karma of people they are reading or replying to anyway, so it doesn't in and of itself grant much in the way of sway or gravitas in the community. That's much more about being notable or recognizable (other than the obvious "post good comments and stories").

And sure, it does help the sense of "being part of the community" to get to 500 where you are trusted to downvote, but let's be real- it only takes a few good story submissions to get you there if you want to get there fast. I only have 3 submissions that aren't Show HN or my own stuff, and 1 of those is 194 points (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38626454).

And I only posted that story because I was hoping Matthew would elaborate on his position here on HN (as well as wanting to hear what HN thought of his take), since he is a well known HN user.

While I wish GCC would implement integrations and/or a language server, I usually do C programming in the terminal (with entr to trigger automatic rebuild on save).

I do find some false positives, but I haven't had many of them to be a deal breaker for me. Aside from what I mentioned about the errors being descriptive, I do like the defaults and that it's part of the compilation process.

for example, possible malloc null warning is on by default (which i don't think is on clang).
What about using the libsoduim JS? It seems pretty OK to me. It's from a pretty source too.

> Nothing in the world can work with IPv7. That means need to update all the software and replace all the hardware. This takes years of effort, and years of time.

Uh, you mean like IPv6?

IPv6 once was new, and it was radical at the time (still mostly is). IPv4 should have just been extended to a 128 bit address space, breaking changes implemented around that, and then everything else would have been easier to adopt. No relearning everything - just rationalizing about larger address space.

> It is quite possible that you are using IPv6 to access Hacker News without knowing it.

No I am not, because our IT Dept. disables IPv6 on all workstations and doesn't support them at our gateways. IPv6 was the culprit in a lot of networking issues that just magically "go away" when disabled... so, they disable.

The decades and decades of knowledge built around IPv4 is immense. IPv6 asked everyone to forget almost all of it and start over. It's really not surprising IPv6 is still not well adopted...
Did you see them putting the black panels up in the video and measuring the color spectrum off the costume, and covering the skylight?

They did that to get a 'perfect' mask.

If you use infrared, which is generated by random environmental objects, how would you prevent random spill?

Practically (my understanding) is if you got random spill on the surface, you'd get random alpha in the mask.

The point of using the sodium light is that it's a single wavelength that you really really would not get naturally, so you can totally control the emission sources of it.

Could you do that with a single frequency infrared? I guess it's possible, but I'm not sure how you'd do it technically, and it's unclear what the benefit of using a different frequency would be?

>That part has always bugged me. The Lucifer is always depicted from the Bible's point of view. There are no Gospels Of Hell that give Satan's viewpoint.

Satan, as a figure was created (and described) by Christians. So it can't be anything but what it says on the tin.

It's not a real person whose biography they could have lied about - it's a creation they made of words, and those particular words define him.

You could reject their whole teachings and universe, but you can't really say "but what if Satan is actually good?", while accepting he exists. If he was good he just wouldn't be Satan. So it makes as little sense as asking "what if Moby Dick was really a rabbit?" - when Moby Dick only existed as a literary whale Melville conjured.

Similarly, as much as Satan is anything, and is useful for anything, it's for embodying the specific character he was described to be with the specific backstory.

You could write an alternate Satan (like the gnostic gospels do or Milton does), but that's fan-fiction then. The rabbit version of Moby Dick, not the "true" Moby Dick.
> the 2001 bonus was, well, much smaller

Exactly!

The bonus plays a massive role in Analyst compensation, and during 2020-present, the bonus was slashed severely due to a lack of late stage dealflow.

The work hours at GS and JPM were still as crappy as before, but the bonuses were trash when factoring stock and bonus compensation their peers were getting.

A bunch of my mentees made the switch to PM, SWE, VC analyst, or Founding explicitly because of that.

It's very unlikely those are the same kind of interactions. Typical programmer example: You work on a problem and are struggling. Your colleague walks by, sees that, takes a glance at your monitor, knows the solution, helps you out right there.

That's extremely unlikely to happen remotely. Video conferences and chat interactions are always deliberate, nobody really sees what you're doing or struggling with spontaneously. You always have to go and initiate an interaction.

Hard agree- a lot of people just opt not to at all- that's what I usually do (other than HN). And when you do decide to go ahead and participate, the energy it takes for each post is a lot higher- you have to consider every contingency you can think of and make sure they all check out. And none of us know if we're going to be wrong when they unearth these posts and pin them on us later, unfortunately.
That's a real problem. People want to hire people that are just like them. Same school, same degree, same personality, same age, same political affiliation.

The proper way to fear in programming is to fear:

1. Your input will be incorrect/corrupt/malicious. Sanitize the crap out of your input. Think of every possible way your parser could go off the rails and fail.

2. Your code will hit pathologically slow cases. Thread the needle between the overly complicated but linear thing and the simplistic but straightforward to implement, debug and test O(nlogn) thing.

3. Your code will fail in production in a way that is hard to debug. Put in logging, monitoring, and dashboards. Check them. Alert on them.

4. You'll have to debug your code. Put in tracing modes, use good names, divide things up to separately debug them.

5. You'll have to explain your code. Make it easier to understand for future, drunk, or stupid you.
