> the overwhelming majority of them were not “normal people down on their luck who end up on drugs”. Rather, mostly folks who had terrible home lives and were basically screwed up from the beginning.

Those aren't mutually exclusive, and furthermore, they likely have major overlap.
Bun shell has less features than zx or dax https://github.com/dsherret/dax. I tried it out but had to change tooling.
Microsoft supports ODF pretty badly. That's why people use other stuff.
Don't be, they also killed C++/CX, even went to CppCon 2016 telling us how great future C++/WinRT would bring to us.

Now almost a decade later, VS tooling is still not there, stuck in ATL/VC++ 6.0 like experience (they blame it on the VS team), C++/WinRT is in maintenance, only bug fixes, and all the fun is on Rust/WinRT.

I would never trust this work for production development.
I had the same thought. Got a chuckle out of @challenger2205's comment[1]:

I think the UK could be taken as an example here.

For the past couple of decades internet access at home has usually been provided over copper phone lines. That infrastructure was originally laid across the country by BT, which was government owned, until a decade ago. The actual digging and trenching work was often done by private contractors, but the resulting infrastructure was owned by the government.

When ADSL broadband rolled out in the 2000s, BT offered their own service, but they were also forced to allow other companies to provide internet access over their infrastructure. At the end of the day the speeds were the same regardless of who you chose, but they competed against each other to gain customers. Unlimited broadband quickly because a thing, and the prices stayed low (compared to the US). Over time they did upgrade the service, and now you can get close to 100mbps over the same, often 40+ year old, cables.

In large cities fibre is rolling out, but it's being done by private companies. The UK has a lot of small towns and villages where that won't make sense, so it will be interesting to see how the market looks in the next 20 years.
It does in my domain of systems programming with async data handling. Tokio works like a dream - slipping into the background and just working so I can concentrate on the business logic.
The whole thing is ridiculous. He compares a curious nerd with the hacktoberfest disaster in order to discourage people, and then describes what happens in a professional context where you are paid to code.

A "senior" developer with less than 10 years of experience, an empty GitHub repo, and a fake degree should be more humble.

Sorry for the rant but he’s not helping anyone. There are abuses, but we should encourage juniors, not describe the open source world like that.
> The Singaporean approach is executing people for drug crimes.

No, that's not the Singaporean approach.

The death penalty is reserved for very few circumstances - smuggling large quantities or dealing in large quantities.

3,101 "drug abusers" were arrested in Singapore in 2023. Only a few were executed and they tend to be high profile smuggling cases.

Drug users are usually sent to mandatory treatment (basically prison + drug treatment). There are plenty of users who end up getting caught several times.

Even dealing in small quantities of drugs results in prison, not execution.

It's true. But what we often lack in tech is an understanding of humans.

Like, real people.

Big swings in tech almost always fail when we push tech fantasies but don't understand humans.

And my fear is they actually set the industry back several years, because people start to believe a concept isn't desired by the populace, when really it was just the execution.

For example, thank goodness Elon came along and rescued the image of the electric car by grasping we humans want good-looking fast cars.

The strange EV designs out of Detroit always killed me.

Yet, it was hard for Tesla to overcome the impression left by those past failures.

I hope the industry doesn't abandon headsets because of the execution mistakes we're seeing now.

What I loved about Jobs is he understood humans so well.

I miss that about him.

His big swings felt natural once in your hand.

Tech CEOs are often taking big swings, but we tech people can be so nerdy sometimes that we struggle to understand how to make products look fashionable and feel natural to use.

That was Jobs magic sauce. Apple struggles with that now.

MP3 players we're clunky until Jobs added the scroll wheel.

Just a stunningly natural solution.

In comparison, the vision pro is clearly too bulky to be practical.

I was excited for the vision pro. But when I tried it, I was shocked at how front heavy it is.

I think it's a solid product for certain niche uses.

But we need a Jobs or Elon, to identify the heart of what humans really need out of a headset.

Zuckerberg is this generation's Bill Gates. Smart. Successful. But mentally and emotionally disconnected from the rest of humanity.

The successful headset innovator needs to shed the 'ready player one' fantasy that we humans want to live in a digital universe or to consume large amounts of entertainment this way.

In my opinion (just my opinion), for the foreseeable future, any non-productivity use of headsets will wear off as novelty.

We will power through the isolation and awkwardness of headsets for the right productivity tools.

But so far it seems that too much energy is going to entertainment and social concepts.

Edit: I see replacing the mouse, in mouse heavy productive activities, as the main use case for headsets.

Drawing, diagramming, navigating visualizations, reviewing large project timelines.

And then you take it off.

And then, incremental improvements to increase wearing time without eye strain, etc.

I do like the vision pro concept of immersive video and pictures to capture memories. That's definitely a nice-to-have feature.
You've made a SR tool to solve LeetCode problems, not coding problems.

Still I think you meant extricate.

I disagree. I don't think the article is saying that.

The article basically says you should have some connection to the project. This is very much the traditional view - you should contribute to open source by scratching the itch you have.

> I'm not a particularly good programmer but I have just recently been trying to contribute to an open source project (Apparently doing it the "wrong way" according to the article!) and its going amazing!

Why do you think the article is saying you are doing it the "wrong way"?
> Never heard of

We are on HN
> While I am on this topic - I want to mention Apple. It is absolutely bonkers how they have done exactly the is countless times. Like changing your entire platform architecture! It could have been like opening a can of worms but they knew what they were doing. Kudos to them.

Apple has a walled garden approach to managing their ecosystem, and within the confines of their garden they just do what's necessary. AFAIK, Apple doesn't care about the possibilty to run binaries from the '90s on a modern stack.

Edit: even though it's expensive, it's possible to conduct such ecosystem-wide changes if you hold all cards in your hand. Microsoft was able to reengineer the graphical subsystem somewhere between XP and 8. Doing something like this is magnitudes more difficult on Linux (Wayland says hi). Google could maybe do it withij their Android corner, but they generally give a sh*t about backwards compatibility.
Yeah,… are you running the steam version? Pun not intended!

> For who? I, and I'm pretty sure most other gamers, would rather a fully-finished "perfect" game that took twice as long.

Evidence suggests otherwise. Of all demographics, gamers appear to be the most tolerant of buggy software.

I'm playing a 2020 game right now that has (in about 30 hours of gameplay):

1. Crashed twice
2. Froze once
3. Has at least ONE reproducible bug that a player would run into at least once every mission (including the first one).

Since this game is now so old it's not getting any more patches, these bugs are there for all eternity, because they just do not move the needle on enjoyment by the gamer.

Searching forums for Far Cry 5 Bugs gives results like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/comments/1ai4jzx/has_far_cry...

Gamers just don't care about bugs unless it stops them playing the game at all!

In order for bugs to have an effect on gamer enjoyment, it literally needs to make the game unplayable, and not just make the player reload from the last savepoint.
They show it getting restored to factory image.
When writing about medical issues, spelling matters. If you don't like being corrected, then just ignore the helpful hint and move on. Doubling down on a typo is just weird.
>As for alternatives worth evaluating: Crystal, Cython (compiled Python), or Nim could result in increased gamedev productivity over C++ or C#.

I read on a recent HN thread that Crystal compilation is slow due to its type inference, IIRC.
I assume those other companies are paying more money in this hypothetical?

If so, that's the problem, not the amount of profit.

Increase pay to match, making the profit 105% of expenses, is there still an issue? If there are other negative consequences I need you to explain them.

(Side note, if you say everyone else is making 135%, but our company could only make 120% if we switched focus, are you sure it's not us that's paying higher salaries?)
> Perhaps open source doesn't devalue consumers in a way that they are a thing to be won - not even in aggregate.

You can win a market, that doesn't mean you're winning the participants. You could at best be winning them over, which is a positive for anyone.

> The network devices in my home are open source, as is most of the OS.

The software on those devices is open source, or in other words, the companies selling your devices are using OSS to power them (or you yourself installed software mostly created for this purpose by similar companies).
Who said anything about giving it away for free? That's frankly a ridiculous idea.
Are you trolling, or a pro-Tesla bot?

It's not 13 fatalities. It's 13 incidents involving a total of 29 deaths. https://www.tesladeaths.com has the total fatality account involving Slaugherpilot at 42.

Also, you're omitting all the deaths in Teslas for which it hasn't yet been proven that "Autopilot" was involved. Teslas are driven my more affluent people, are newer, and incorporate safer non-Autopilot tech. than the average car.

Finally, 6M is the worldwide number of cars Tesla has sold, which you're comparing to a U.S. count of non-Teslas.
... As I said... it's not enough to just plop on a new chip from somewhere else and do the standard iOS factory image restore process without extracting info from the original and putting it in the new before soldering. This information prior to the milling is omitted from the video.
It's a Mac. Of course there's something wrong with it. It's riddled with bugs Apple can't be bothered to fix.

If it isn't WindowServer losing its mind, it's some other buggy system daemon. Apple simply does not do stable versions of macOS any more.

Many of these efforts work best when they are consist of a small group of competent elites. There is a path to get in there for everyone but the bar is high.

I get the good intentions behind democratizing this but that, coupled with companies using contributions as a metric, leads to the original (fragile) system being damaged.

In spirit, I agree with the article.
You should read actual data instead of Wikipedia

https://www.nber.org/papers/w9681 <- cirrhosis declined 20 percent

https://academic.oup.com/aler/article-abstract/13/1/1/183009

https://academic.oup.com/aler/article/16/2/433/168495 <- prohibition associated with up to 30 percent reduction in violent crime

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01448... <- another researcher with similar findings.

The common cultural belief that prohibition failed is a total myth. It achieved everything it set out to achieve. People just wanted to drink. There's actually very little evidence of the supposed ills of prohibition.

For example, organized crime is typically said to have been caused by prohibition, but there were other factors at play as well (immigration, economics, etc). Harder liquor being available is another one, and this is true. Cirrhosis severity increased during prohibition but the drop in cirrhosis rates more than made up for that.
Alternatively the fine article.
These kind of news are typically fake twisted misrepresentations living off obscurity of the subject.

Correct, so the question should have been: is readonly necessary?

I wouldn’t call myself an expert in TypeScript’s type system (although I use it daily), so I’m not sure about that one.

I do know I would have omitted readonly if I did this myself, but perhaps by mistake.

I had an account at this bank for a few years, and didn’t know about the collapse until reading this in Hacker News. I did receive a weird email from the bank today that my account was being migrated to a different bank.

Republic First was kind of a crappy bank. The website was bad, the customer service was bad, and most of their marketing prominently featured their CEO with his dog sitting on his lap in front of a new branch they’d just opened up.

A few years ago the bank started making it difficult to withdraw money from your accounts. They had ridiculously low limits for free transfers, and I ended up having to pay wire transfer fees to get my money out of the bank.

It was a weird place. Always got the vibe that some old money family ran it poorly.
Europe is harder due to multiple languages. They didn’t even bother with the lower hanging fruit: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK etc.

I wonder if the strong USD was a contributing factor in delaying this.

I remember that I self hosted an EtherPad instance https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite

There was something like that for spreadsheets too but I can't remember what.

The only collaborative projects I had to work on were with customers so we always used Google Docs, nothing self hosted.
> There's a lot going on.

I'd like to use the opportunity to ask: What happened during the covid pandemic? I haven't heard/read anything about second life during the pandemic even though this was probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Are there any news sources that you can recommend to keep an eye on second life, because it doesn't seem that it gets that much press coverage?
I had the same thing this morning. Unlock and password reset via another device worked through.
If you prefer an existing webapp over an elisp function, https://huggingface.co/spaces/ndurner/oai_chat. Choose Whisper as the model, upload your 25 MB chunks, hit Send, choose GPT-4 Turbo, ask it to clean up, hit Send. Then, hit the Download button (hidden away on the very bottom).

Helpful fact: Whisper works on 16 KHz sampling behind the scenes, so can make your recording smaller by downsampling to 22 KHz, mono. AAC is supported, and commenters to the web say Whisper is pretty robust so it doesn‘t have do be hi-fi - just so that you can make a split at the beginning of the QA session perhaps, if you can‘t fit it into one 25 MB chunk right away.
Well, with people doing whole home solar, that wouldn't be an issue. You'd just need an inverter to power some appliances in the kitchen. At the very least, LED lighting hardwired into the home would drop electric usage by double digit percentages.
Hypocrisy mostly.
Are they being hacked on a massive scale?
It'd be interesting to have further discussion beyond just parroting a flawed experiment from almost 100 years ago though. DUI has caused very high mortality, although funnily some people here will suggest that we abolish the "driving" part instead.

In my country (Indonesia) where alcohol is frowned and restricted culturally, DUI rates is almost nonexistent compared to developed countries. Although we "replaced" it with sleepy driving which also caused lots of deaths, so maybe we do have to abolish driving after all.
> As the article pointed out, game developers are less productive in Rust. This is a huge problem.

I don't think it's limited to just game developers though. Unless you are writing something in which any GC time other than 0ns is a dealbreaker, and any bug is also a dealbreaker, you're going to be less productive in Rust than almost any other language.
That simply isn't the typical American experience. 92% of Americans have health insurance. Even without insurance, Walmart and Amazon sell basic insulin for $25 and $30 for a months supply.

Everyone in America who makes <138% the poverty level qualifies for free insurance.
Same here in AU, this happened to me about 8 hours ago. Standard reset procedure worked.

Now when trying to configure a Recovery Key from my 2021 iPad Pro I’m told that I can’t do that from ‘this new device’ of mine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And when I try it from my iPhone I have to wait an hour because of Stolen Device Protection. Apparently I’m not at a ‘familiar location’. I’m at home. I work from home. This phone is in this house for 99% of the time.

Not amazing is it.
so you think newer more expensive products are usually worse?
I created this application in response to the frustration of experiencing recruiter ghosting behaviour. Conversely, recruiters also face the challenge of efficiently reviewing and responding to every candidate application.This application aims to alleviate this issue to some extent. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
What on earth is the point of doing “stealth”? This just sounds to me like a way to burn money and scale before finding product-market fit.
Happened to me today. First got the message on my computer that my location was unknown and needed to enter a code from the phone. By the end of it, I had to reset my Apple password. No idea why it happened.
I don't think I've seen one that does that.

Groq is pretty amazing to play with to see what fast models are like (llm-groq plugin).
> Should we kick out our children from our home who misbehave? Or do we try to teach them, and help them and let them grow.

The second one. Over and over again. And when they are adults and we've given them a few more chances, we should then cut our losses. Many families go through the heartbreak which is trying again and again and failing. I don't judge those families, and know a few of those personally. And this is people's blood relatives. Extrapolate from that what you will.
Awesome work, I've developed my own projects which are fairly similar to this. I would say that the auto router is the most important aspect for this to work well, and unfortunately one of the most complex areas :)

The only minor complaint is that the wires / nets / traces are also components themselves. JSX can only build tree structures but wires turn circuits into graphs, so for those I would have used plain js classes or hooks like useWire and then pass the + and - into the components. That gives you the added benefit of warning when you haven't wired up a component fully. Also allows for required and optional wire inputs on components.
Why is it so expensive? because the vast majority of Americans can and will pay it instead of opting for slightly cheaper options. It is a tragedy of the commons with consumers driving up price
Or maybe Rust allowed them to develop twice as fast. Who knows? We're going by data here, and this data point shows that games can be made in Bevy. No more and no less.
Is it strongly recommended by people who've successfully written performant software on multiple platforms (like ffmpeg), or by compiler engineers? Because this is the kind of thing compiler engineers would like to believe is true, but in practice isn't unless you have the power to make them fix it for you.

There are actual differences between ISAs here and if your case deoptimizes on one of them then there wasn't a point in using SIMD at all.

(Examples: whether it has a full permute, whether unaligned loads are fast or unusably slow, whether it supports half-floats.)

And of course nobody can do an abstraction for MMX, so they just pretend it doesn't exist.
> The death penalty is reserved for very few circumstances - smuggling large quantities or dealing in large quantities.

Last year, Singapore executed a woman for possessing 31 grams of heroin. [0] Who considers 31 grams of anything a large quantity? Well, in Singapore, trafficking over 30 grams of heroin is considered a "large quantity" with a mandatory death penalty – and all the prosecution has to prove is possession, once that is proved, trafficking is legally presumed.

This is the amounts, possession of which gets you mandatory death penalty in Singapore: 15 grams of heroin, 30 grams of cocaine, 250 grams of meth, or 500 grams of cannabis. [1] Those amounts aren't large, they are trivial. They are kinds of quantities that small time drug dealers would possess, but large scale drug traffickers would scoff at. As of August last year, there were 50 people on death row in Singapore, and only 3 of those had been convicted of murder, the other 47 had been convicted of non-violent drug crimes.
