Singapore, probably.
Only reason I used it was to force MSVC to understand my u8"" literals. Should've forced /utf8 in our build system, in retrospective.

For UTF-16/32, knowing the endianness doesn't seem to be a frivolous functionality. And in fact, having to use heuristics-based detection via uchardet is a big mess, some kind of header should have been standardized since the start.
In the future? This is almost certainly already the case.
Yeah I don't think the UK is the best example. Not as bad as America, sure. But we've been very very slow to roll out fibre or even broadband, especially outside big cities and towns, as you noted. That's exactly why it makes more sense for a single government entity to do this.

In fact BT were going to roll out fibre in 1990 (yes really, I didn't believe this when I first heard but it's true) but Thatcher killed it because it would have given them a monopoly... Yeah. That's exactly as dumb as it sounds. Thanks Tories.
What if it's 5-7, but only after there is a deep enough dev pool and language tooling to address some of the productivity issues mentioned in the blog? Why make up arbitrary x2 factors?

Very nice work, thank you. This is a nice intersection of my tech interests, both React and I like to make custom keyboards. I've never liked using the drag and drop design tools for circuits, so I'm keen to try this.

>CGNAT? ISPs and websites can still track you.

Yes, ISP's can still track but the other websites-that-are-not-the-ISP that depend on logging unique ip addresses for tracking can't identify you behind a CGNAT. My previous comment about how CGNAT can be another layer of privacy for things like torrents: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38176079

EDIT reply to : >Sure except for the like 800 other metrics they use to track you besides IP lol. Advertisers

Yes, browser fingerprints and "device behavior" heuristics etc demonstrated at https://amiunique.org/ and https://fingerprint.com/blog/browser-fingerprinting-techniqu... ... also exist but that's not what my reply was about.

My comment was specifically talking about those websites that depend on ip addresses and not fingerprinting. Examples are torrent trackers, torrent honeypots, and Wikipedia articles' edits history where their server logs keep track of ip addresses instead of browser fingerprints. CGNAT will make users more anonymous in those situations. Lawsuits and subpoenas from RIAA and movie studios against torrenters for copyright infringements were filed against ip addresses and not browser fingerprints.

As for Google/Facebook sophistication levels of browser fingerprints tracking and surveillance, I'm not so sure how paranoid I should be about it because they still think I'm in Idaho because I happen to open my laptop in a hotel one time there 10 months ago.
Not to be confused with 11on12 which runs direct3d 11 apps on d3d12
If it's any consolation, you are not alone!

I struggle with almost the exact same issues.

It doesnt have to be that way, SwiftUI is wonderful to work with!

But React I just find to be like trudging through mud. It's such an intellectual drag!
I would hardly call modern X11 nicely conceived. It was nice in the 80s when everything was network transparent, X was indeed a graphic terminal for local or remote Motif apps, and everything handled by the xlib. It was then somewhat reminiscent of Rio although foreign and bolted on top of the system.

Nowadays it's just a clunky mess of direct rendering interfaces bolted on top of legacy cruft from a long gone era. It's complex and inefficient.

It's still quite possible to get drugs here, but they tend to be more expensive.

From a completely practical point of view, keeping poor people off drugs (and making rich people think twice) prevents most of the harm.

Totally agree with this. Been a free software advocate my whole life. It's all about freedom to tinker and contribute should you wish to. If you use computers you'll know when the time comes to do that. It's usually when the software doesn't quite do what you want or there's something you need that nobody has thought of yet. It's up to you whether you just hack it for your own purposes or put in some extra effort to get the code merged upstream. Definitely recommend the latter if you want to learn how to contribute to a live codebase (free or otherwise). But don't go in with the goal of getting something merged, it's got to start with your problem.

Anecdotally, some of the best hackers I've known have started off as kids building things like game mods and chatbots and the like. Then later they've learnt how to do it "professionally". The worst are the ones who know how to make a pull request etc but have never been through the trenches solving a problem that nobody else has.

Discrimination and favoritism are not by definition bad. E.g., I favor vegetarian over meat, wit over insult, health over sickness. I do agree that driving under influence, as well as dangerous driving, should lead to clear punishments, in particular regarding the driving license.
This doesn't seem like a particularly good example of the negative effects on communities. Fundamentally, your story is that you looked over a wall and then someone opened a window and didn't shout at you.

Last I checked, based on the UK NHS actual supply costs for heroin, a typical users daily consumption would cost.the NHS ca. $12. That is not nothing, but it's low enough that while you don't want to turn everyone into addicts, it far cheaper for society to give it away for free to existing addicts than it is to deal with the effects on both addicts and society of an unclean, uncontrolled supply (heroin addicts, counter to public perception, can largely - not always, much like alcoholics -function, hold down jobs, pay taxes etc. as long as they have a reliable, clean supply and don't have to desperately chase money to find their next high)

I don't get your argument at all. Why not charge the addicts the 12 dollars?
I think that the key point here might be the curved part. Curved ultrawides mostly took over the market for large monitors cause they offered better ergonomics (curved + horizontal only head movement) and enough real estate.
Slackware lost it's way when it tried to comepte with desktop distros but didn't really commit to it.

I used to like it as a minimal distro that just stayed out of my way and considered it oriented towards slightly more technical folk.

Then the community would be hostile if you were digging in to an issue and didn't do a full install because that's the recommended way. And not doing so would also result in stupid issues due to stupid dependencies like mplayer not working because samba was not installed.

Alpine is an improvement over Slackware in every way.
> If most people have personal experience like mine

This seems anecdotal too. Very meta.

In any case, I'd rather trust actual research rather than a random HN user and what they feel most people's experiences are like.

I don't disagree that the marijuana death penalty is excessive.

But I wouldn't compare the Singapore drug market to the US one. They are nowhere close to the same.

Costs are way higher and users are lower in number. You don't see seizures of tons of cocaine like you do in the US, it's likely hundreds of grams.

If they set "dealer quantities" of those drugs to be the same as the US, nobody would be a dealer.
In my view, here's an example from this HN comment section:

You can’t. When my ISP switched me to CGNAT, I spent days upgrading everything to IPv6, only to discover that gmail didn’t even support it! (Mail Server to mail server, not the web app) I gave up, asked my ISP IPv4 back and, fortunately, got back a new IPv4. But I fear the day that option will disappear…

I'm not a pro engine dev, but from what I've heard, the graphics backend is a minor part of what makes a good and fully-fledged game engine. I see it more as a strength than other engine can ship on older and more legacy hardware. Moreover wgpu is still in its infancy but evolving rapidly. We'll see in the future how bevy will develop, and I really hope it works out, because I liked some of the ergonomics of the ECS when I used it, but for now I am very doubtful
That seems pretty silly.

If only a few people can use a limited resources like cable space on a pole, the government should auction off the privilege to the highest bidder. And then let the winner decide how they want to use what they bid for.

The government can use the revenue from the auction (and general tax revenue, too) to help poor people. Though I would suggest to just give poor people money so they can decide for themselves, instead of deciding for them that they should spend their limited resources on eg internet access.

You want cuis smalltalk. It's a heavily-simplified smalltalk (like pharo, it was also forked from squeak), with a redesigned morphic system - which is ENTIRELY vector graphics based (plus a few other niceties).

Yes, even the fonts themselves are vector graphics. You can use a fancy cursive font, rotate a text window, and then zoom it in or out - with total clarity.
It’s an awesome toy. It makes much more advanced constructions possible than Lego Technic for example.
That should only happen if your protection is at the optical layer which hasn't been common for a decade or more, partly for that reason.

I've never seen it happen in 20 years. Although of course small parts of the path change over time and sometimes that means bits get put in the same duct for a short run but that also happens when you buy from different providers to be honest. With some carriers you can insist they send you updated route kmls when they change either path and you can detect the change as you'll see different losses/otdr traces before and after a maintenance/fix.
Yeah, I’m one of the people affected by this and it has happened to me on multiple machines on multiple updates and I have no idea what’s happening. Of course the keys do not actually work like for everyone else, which is even worse from a consumer UX standpoint (if I didn’t knew better I’d just throw away the old key…)

Folks who have been here long enough get the option to “Flag” a submission as being against HN Guidelines. But folks often flag something that they disagree with, or do not like.

Some folks also have the ability to “Vouch” a submission, to counteract the effects of flagging, but enough flags can override the vouches.

Posting your own work is OK. My guess is, some people did not think it was real. You can always email the moderators (hn@ycombinator.com) to ask. Do not be scared or shy.

> Ok, we're going from a bunch of complaints about Rust being bad for fast prototypes for indie development to the idea that Rust is bad at everything.

No, not at all, that's not what I meant. I think it's forte for now is better security at the cost of some performance and productivity (iteration speed).
That was the joke, don’t worry we get it ;)
An interesting statistic from the Shakti[1] project - after building a 5-stage RISC-V core with an FPU, the same team had a reason to write an x86 decoder. The _decode_ stage of the x86 alone was bigger than the entire pipeline of the RISC-V core.

By and large, you don't. I suspect beagle3 cares more about the privacy aspects than hosting a service from their home.

To be clear, I can find plenty of widescreen displays in this category - it's the 16:9 aspect ratio that seems to have dissappeared. Adn if needs be I'll probably make do with a widescreen monitor, but as most of the content I consume is optimised for 16:9, the edges feel like a bit of a waste (and the center is over-dense PPI if you opt for the full 2160 vertical resolution on these displays)

X11 may be clunky, but it's familiar clunky which my tools and workflows are already set up for. I paid the cost incurred by X11's clunk many years ago and now I feel too old and weary to pay it again for Wayland. I no longer enjoy tinkering so I'm going to stick with what already works for me.

If Wayland were such a great improvement overall that it didn't incur it's own clunky tax, then the situation might be different. On the contrary, Wayland is not only clunky but fragmented as well; hacks and workarounds for one compositor don't necessarily work for another, so if I switched to it I would be faced with the prospect of either figuring out numerous systems or picking one of them blind and hoping for the best.

in a pinch I rub black pepper or thyme (hopefully a fine powder) everywhere and on clothes.. (I think thyme tests higher as a repellant for ticks and BPepper for mosquitos).

rub it between your hands to heat it a little to activate the oils inside and apply liberally.

Just remember - do not do it casually at social situations and be wary of staining your clothes and triggering an alergic reaction on yourself.

Ticks are incredibly common. People in my area of the country get hundreds of ticks during their life. It's also fairly rare they carry Lyme disease and gets you infected. You definitively should not be given antibiotics without a clear reason.
First there was W3 then Web 2.0 then web3.
I remember editing command.com too, with debug.exe, to change some of the standard messages, or even command names, as you did.

Another cool DOS thing was that you could type Alt+255 (last 8-bit character code) as part of a filename. That appeared like a space character, so made it effectively "hidden" to those who did not know about the trick, because they could not type its name to list or edit it.
Fun fact - if you try to purchase broadband from a service that runs over BT infrastructure, the price you'll be charged will vary depending on whether there is also a Virgin Media service that would also be available to you. As in, if there's no competition, you'll be charged more. That's price gouging, and I think it should be illegal.
You think that the gap between "a meat robot" and "a meat robot of a specific shape" is that big?

My mail server has been known to deliver mail to Gmail using IPv6 if I don't tell it not to. Not sure if Gmail will use IPv6 for incoming mail though.
On the topic of memorising arithmetic, I have found it surprisingly useful to memorise a few base ten logarithms. While most people have a good sense of numbers as an arithmetic progression, the geometric perspective is often more useful. (Things like how 3 is halfway from 1 to 10, but 10 is halfway from 1 to 100. (This is just the square root, of course, since that is a power of a half. But it's also useful to know that 2 is one-third of the way to 10, and 1.6 is a tenth of the way to 100. I.e. knowing some logarithms, you can mentally compute arbitrary fractional powers in your head.))

For the curious, I write a little more about it here: https://two-wrongs.com/learning-some-logarithms.html
CGNAT should be illegal.

Or at least it should be illegal to advertise a CGNAT service as an "Internet connection". It's not an Internet connection, you can't use it to send or receive arbitrary IP packets, only TCP/UDP.

You don't have to be a member of a union to work in particular trade in the UK, apart from maybe Doctors who have to be members of the British Medical Association which I think is a regulatory body and a union combined although I might be wrong about that. For example Teachers, I think there are a couple of different unions they can choose from but they don't have to be in one of them to be a teacher. Is that different to the US?
In other words, "shipping a product" is incompatible with decent code.

Absolutely feel the same way, I don't wanna work on my tools, I wanna work on my work.

I picked up Linux because I was an enthusiast. Now I use it because Windows became unusable and Linux is actually the best option on the desktop. But I don't care about X11 or Wayland, I just want things to work without fuss - and they mostly do through decades of churn and cruft. In my world legacy cruft is vastly preferable to new problems.

You do realize factory farmed animals don't graze the natural farmland right? They are mostly fed either stuff that humans could eat, or food that is grown on farmland that could be used to grow human edible food.
