I was involved in the internal reporting. The clincher was when I saw the P&L for the internal sales of "luxury" items. Literally selling to a captive customer base.

It's weird that such a data point was the final straw, but eventually these small details build up and the whole edifice comes crashing down.

It's especially tragic as the company seemed to be full of talented, intelligent and nice people. Such seems to be the typical makeup of faceless evil.
If that's the case, I suggest having as many kids as partner will allow.

sigh hello downvoters...

There is no coherent, constant theory of truth for any language which has the word "truth." This was proven by Tarki ages ago.

The reason is the Liar's paradox. It blows up any such theory of truth. For example, the correspondence theory of truth is blown up with this version of the liar sentence:

"This sentence does not correspond to reality".

Ok, does that sentence correspond with reality, or not? :-)

This is a genuine problem, which nobody has ever found a solution for. See the Stanford encyclopedia article on the liar paradox.

The good news is that we don't need to define truth at all. Just like we don't have to define "point" or "line" in geometry, or "set" in mathematics. These are, as it were, "axiomatic" concepts, which we use to define everything else with. They cannot be defined in terms of anything more basic or simpler, because they are the most basic, simple concepts we have.
If that's your bar then you might as well not do anything. You can find plenty of people who believe anything new is a fad, people believed that about computers for a long time.

Not saying it isn't a bubble, but people thinking it's one isn't evidence.
Oh I didn't take it harshly. Just wanted to clarify since you and I seemed on the same wavelength but that part didn't come across clearly :)
I love Lua but I also prefer static types, so this looks great. I’ve used Luau[1] in the past which has gradual typing, but that’s less useful unless it’s enforced as a coding standard.

The article is paywalled but I wonder if the lack of profitability is Twitch's inability to get users onto their own advertising platform from which they get a cut. It seems streamers get a lot of revenue from sponsorships and partnerships outside Twitch and have pressured Twitch to keep it that way. [1]

I think this would all be possible without a TPM and those instances where my bank needs to verify my device is complete security theatre that negatively affects me and my systems.

My password manager feels quite happy without it, some futile regulation might require my stupid bank to check for TPM, but I do anything to not let it get near a PC.

With some TPM spoofing none of the features can work and the average security researcher can probably quickly confirm this.

TPM might be the wrong medicine if some bots down there even praise it as something advantageous.

There wouldn't be a writedown simply because no one is setting 10 years as the useful life for accounting purposes. Coreweave was about 5 years IIRC.

The `<use />` tag introduces another dimension to the analysis: "Is a first-class citizen of the web". Most resources can be included from anywhere and the serving and the hosting pages can limit that universality but the web defaults to "open". SVG's `<use>` is more limited. Cross-site `use` doesn't always work (and there's no way to opt-in to it). `data:` URLs were just removed for some reason (there are mumbles about security but no explanations why this one tag is so much worse for security than say `iframe srcdoc`).

All that said, if you're doing an include from the same host as the parent page, yes, `use` absolutely does tick all three boxes!
It is fairly difficult to be perfectly objective about everything we discuss. We all bring our own bias and experiences to just about everything we do and say.

In Dustin’s case, he is being open about his background and perspective. Isn’t that more commendable than trying to feign objectivity?

Clearly you can agree or disagree but being annoyed at his transparency seems to neglect consideration for the alternative.
But that's hardly the most optimal approach in this scenario :-)
Even Go? For me, its main redeeming point [1] was its so-called "goroutines" (which are basically Erlang lightweight processes, with the mailbox replaced with Concurrent ML-style channels).

That being said, I've gotten used to Rust's async. It's a bit unusual, but it also adds a layer of clarity which I appreciate.

GS1 Digital Link: product digital identity 2D barcode
I don't exactly know the situation at Google, but it's not entirely uncommon for orgs with large campuses to hire licensed peace officers instead of basic "security guards". A licensed peace officer is essentially the same as a police officer, with the power to arrest and carry weapons and what not. So instead of your security guard only being able to call for police, they can take police-like action immediately.

Ever drive past a large event or like a church after Sunday service and see cops out in the street directing traffic? Often those are off duty cops serving as paid peace officers.

In Texas, to have a large event where you serve alcohol (like say a wedding reception) you legally need to hire a peace officer for your security. Often people hire off duty cops, but you could hire someone who isn't a cop day to day. Anyone with a valid peace officer license can do it.

I've known people who went through all the training and decided being a cop wasn't for them. They then took jobs like "security guard" but we're paid a lot more because of their peace officer license.

Agreed. For so many words in common usage, English spelling (vis-à-vis pronunciation) is aggressively misleading, deceptive, pain-inducing.

In the grand scheme of things, it's unfortunate that English lazily conquered the internet without any kind of preventive maintenance rooted in critical thinking. It's not nutty (maybe just futile) to argue that English desperately needs fixing. The distributed nature of English should be encouraging for experimentation.

Most native English speakers just roll over and succumb to Stockholm Syndrome.

Every would-be/aspiring spelling reformer has mentally composed a manifesto of righteousness.
A question for a doctor for sure.

But Wikipedia has a long article on Hepatotoxicity[0] and that suggests discontinuation of the drugs involved can allow the liver to heal (if discontinued early enough).

As a patient, you need to be conscious to ask questions and retain at least some control over your treatment whenever you can. If you're overwhelmed by what you are being told or concerned about the planned course of treatment, always ask questions, especially about long term implications and risks and how those are addressed. Generally doctors like being asked about medical things and are willing to answer when they are able. [Individual experiences may vary etc.]

Guns are of little use unless you have many tucked away in various locations, all loaded (ready for trigger pull). This principle is drilled into you when taking CCW training. I have several carries that will often cross paths. One for the trail, one for the glove box, for instance.

One is for wild hogs and one is for whatever bullshit happens at a random intersection (I live in an area that experiences significant amounts of random violence).

I'm far from a gun nut. I haven't fired a weapon in ten years, since I moved away from the farm. I bought my first pistol when I discovered motorcycle gang activity in my vacinity over twenty years ago. You never forget that warm feeling you get when you lose your vulnerability to the shine of a Ruger 357. The crazy part is that I didn't think it made me safe or helped the situation at all. I just decided it was better to have it out instead of getting cucked by some shitty gang member.

Young men get firearms for respect and dignity. In the inner city you have a lot of this, resulting in boys carrying guns they have never fired...until someone disrespects them enough. The cops should invite these boys to their $7MM firing range.

I mean, with that level of heart failure that an artificial heart is required, there are a bunch of other medical concerns that should be reliably transmitted. As an example, people with diabetes might have tattoos.

Also, CPR is administered primarily when breathing is not sensed. If the patient is already in the hospital, they will surely check basic stuff, like a huge scar on the chest.

Though it would be very interesting if the machine would artificially output a potential vector that makes it very apparent to EKG and similar devices that it is operating, but it is not an ordinary heart (e.g. doing a square wave). It would require minuscule energy.

I agree that nonstop access is not good.

But I also think that current ability to see the series at once and then be done with that is strictly superior over past "episode once a week" schedule. First, it leads to way more interesting shows, but also it affects my life much less.

The tv schedule used to rule peoples days, they would try to be at home for the show, they would stop socializing and what not just to see the show.

Some elephants are more difficult to see in some rooms than others.

It can depend on how good the bifocals are ;)

Or if the only thing that can block the view is piles of cash, it might take so much cash to be unattainable by almost anybody, but if it happened bifocals won't be able to help in that room, and the only thing that might be able to get any attention is a bigger elephant.

At least until the cash has dwindled :(

Most computer programs (almost all?) are not supposed to be worth money to begin with. It can require quite a reality-distortion effort to build positive sentiment on a case-by-case basis. As we have seen, after some people get that good at building sentiment, they can choose to do so without anything of value underlying their effort, whether integrity is intentionally being compromised or not.

The odds to be played here are one of the things that makes it more of a crap-shoot and defines an investment landscape where all the duds need to be offset by a single home run out of the park, but which one will be the heavy-hitter is never very well identified in advance of going viral. For that one outfit, it can be like printing money, for everyone else the default is a black hole.

AI of some kind (probably ramen kind) may be possible to leverage without putting a black hole onto steroids, but otherwise I could only imagine that if sustainable research was still required beforehand, the most suitable structure might just be a non-profit organization. Who would think of that unless there really weren't enough organic profits to be leveraged like a financially sound investment should have?

With some of the more challenging or nearly-unattainable projects, almost all approaches are not going to be profitable enough to provide a return for shareholder-style investment, most things like that are just too expensive to be justified except as an indulgence, which is where pride can be taken without anticipating a financial return. So money used to fund the effort is most accurately categorized as donations not investments and another reason that a non-profit structure, and resulting not-profitable outcome should be considered ideal.

Or maybe one particular approach is all wrong only because it is too expensive, overpriced, not-profitable or all of the above.

OTOH could be an approach is too expensive, overpriced, not-profitable or all of the above, because it is all wrong to being with.

But what difference does it make if the final outcome is the same?
Some of them twice!
Most benchmarks are fine-tuned code that provides pretty much the perfect case for running with SMT off, because the real-world use cases that benefit from SMT are absent in those benchmarks.

Apparently temporary materialization also occurs when “when a prvalue appears as a discarded-value expression.” https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/implicit_conversi...

So yes, storage for the (to-be discarded) object must be allocated, and the object is constructed into that storage.

I don’t know enough about the ABI to comment about the last point.
Pallene unfortunately is only a subset of Lua, i.e. you cannot simply take a Lua program and compile it with Pallene. The use case of this language is not obvious to me, since if I have to re-implement the performance-critical parts of the Lua program anyway, I can just as good implement it in C using the Lua C API. Thus the claim of the Pallene authors is a bit misleading.

Concerning LuaJIT performance, I have done a lot of measurements over the years (see e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/blob/master/testcase...) and would rather say that its performance is about factor four worse on average than an equivalent C++ -O2 compiled program. For some exceptional use cases it might perform as good as C, but not in general (one reason is the missing tracing JIT support for closures).
Too bad. Because I think it is. Like, at all.
The arrogance comes from the fact that it came without any explanation whatsoever, but instead just acted as if it is the only possible position one could have. The quoted sentence didn’t have any elaboration as follow up, it was just the end of the discussion.

It’s phrased as if to say “if you gave it a moments thought, you’d see I’m right”, which is the epitome of arrogance to me.

I get this impression from Rob Pike as well… I’m sure it comes from decades of being tired of arguing with people, but he comes off as utterly dismissive, as if to say “you either agree with me or you’re an idiot”. It doesn’t help that he continually throws shade on Linux (which is approximately infinity times more successful than Plan9) as you can see from other comments in the same thread. I don’t come away with a good impression of him or any of the other plan9/9front devs. Their whole attitude seems to be “everyone in the OS/systems world is dumber than us, and even too dumb to see why they’re dumber than us. We have a perfect system beyond any reproach and you’re an idiot if you disagree.”

> I need to take expressions, or programs, and break them down to a directed acyclic graph of binary logical operations.

This strikes me as not quite a correct description of the problem. What you described in that sentence above is closer to a description of compiling a combinational subset (just expressions, no state) of a hardware description language to logic gates.

The BitGrid has two differences from that. One, you have state registers after every cell: essentially it's pipelined at the single-cell level. Two, the routing of signals is fixed to be able to reach nearest-neighbors only. That means you end up needing to spend logic cells for routing and incur a one cycle delay for every hop away that you need to reach (whereas that's essentially "free" in gates).

Those make the problem significantly more complicated because you're not just mapping a function on to logic, but needing to do routing and a kind of delay analysis ("which cycle is this input signal from?) at the same time.

My suggestion would be to simplify the problem first. For example, allow routing any cell's input to any cell's output in the first stage of complication, then do a phase where you insert the routing.

To me, the level of pipelining and nearest-neighbor restriction makes it hard to approach the problem: the seeming simplicity ends up making it hard to wrap your mind around a larger computation. The routing is nontrivial; using cells for plain routing wastes logic resources; and the one-cycle delays become a complex problem to be worked around instead of a feature. It's interesting to think about but if it were my project, I'd think about changes to the model first to make life simpler.
Yeah, because while Google deprecates and throws out everything that is considered useful, it never throws out stuff that is old, cumbersome to use and just plain outdated, like their recaptcha madness. It's all about annoying people, and they love that. Just like their search results, those are also annoying and borderline useless.

However the browsers don't crash or run out of memory, so they've got that going for them. And if you embed the image in a web page with <img src='84km.svg' width=1000 height=1000> chromium almost manages to display it.

SVG lets you specify sizes in a bunch of different units, but there's actually a fixed ratio between them - in SVG, 1mm means is 3.78px regardless of your display or printer's DPI.

So I didn't scale mm to SVG's arbitrary length units - but the standard did.

Ask HN: How do you draw lines (code golf)
Modern computing is super hostile for doing simple things with minimum effort. This separates us from the pleasure and immediacy of trying out simple things quickly and in robust manner.

All serious languages have trivial printf, console.print or similar quality-of-life function to output strings to a console in their basic library.

Sadly, not so much for rendering even the most simple of graphics primitives.

What’s your most simple way of drawing n lines in 2d?

Slightly more formally: Lines are represented by a startpoint and endpoint in the 2D cartesian plane. Given a set of lines, draw them on the output surface so that all of the enpoints of the lines are within the bounds of the surface.

Output surface can be anything reasonable - bmp, png, html page…

(I have some professional background in graphics programming so I know many longwided ways of achieving this :D)
