This could be abused in any number of ways and would probably make people and their precious children less safe in the long run rather than more safe.

You can be sure Viktor Orban would use it to crack down on political opposition in Hungary, for example.

In the wrong hands, could be used to have these precious children or their parents killed or worse.

Authoritarian governments often do things, or threaten to do things, including sexual violence to children as a way to put pressure on and extract information from their parents. This type of surveillance tech would make it easier for them.
Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. Would you recommend specific publishers or it's a book-by-book basis ? I heard good things about manning.

I think Flutter or Lit would be a fair comparison in scope. They are both just UI focused, they run in the same environments, they both took two different architectural approaches but kept the same 1 component = 1 class model and both incorporated lots of similar ideas about how OOP can best be used in UI design.

I'm not against vaccination. What is vaccination? An injection of deactivated bits of the disease into the bloodstream so the immune system can identify and begin producing antibodies against the disease prior to actual infection.

I'm against COVID "vaccines". What are COVID "vaccines"? An injection of mRNA genetic material that spreads around the body and reprograms your own cells to manufacture bits of the disease, so the immune system can blah blah etc.

Now please explain to me, why is the mRNA experimental gene therapy a required component of vaccination? Why couldn't they just inject bits of the virus like literally every single vaccine has worked since their invention? Why did we need to reprogram healthy people's cells to manufacture spike proteins that are like tiny little knives stabbing them from the inside, forever?

Well because vaccinating the population against the disease was never the goal. The goal was to push a mandatory genetic experiment and see if people react. They didn't. So get ready for your next round of mandatory gene therapy under the guise of "vaccination"!
Man you should talk with more vegetarians about their motivations, there’s way more in it than “meat==bad“. But telling someone it has been tricked is not the best way to engage a conversation.
> and distrust of science

distrust of science comes from the fact that something that had nothing to do with Science was called Science and used against people. Mind you that the scientific method is all about debating hypotheses not censoring dissenting voices, which is exactly what happened during the Covid era. Of course distrust will spread.
One thing I can take from this is that even when you are not necessarily building all that cool/complex tech yourself, whatever else you are good at, take a good hard look at it. What ever is important to you, you can always apply what you are good at to some facet of what you admire and find value. Anandtech folks learned a lot about cool tech standing on the shoulders of giants, but they added value by teaching us what is really significant to look for and then benchmarking the hell out of it.

Distilling what you like about a thing and then build it (and don't forget that finding someone to pay you to do it is essential too) is key. Intellectual honesty is key in this process: You have to be honest about what you like about the Acquisition, Assimilation, and Dissemination of your ideas and product. They did that so well.

I always thought that whatever I wanted to build, it has something complex(and hence cool), but it could instead just what I want and have it be cool anyway.

Likely both :(
I imagine that anyone who is serious about anything will end up building/designing some of their own tools. Maybe a custom pedal (or pedal board) for a guitarist, a custom printer for a 3D-printing diehard, or simply designing the tools needed to perform experiments as a scientist. With software, it's a lot easier, especially over long periods of time. I still use a backup script I wrote 20 years ago, for example.

Edit: not to say that the backup script is somehow special, but rather that it being software means that it can last a lifetime with minimal upkeep, unlike the tools made by toolmakers of old.

I'll stipulate your view of the proposal. Does an uncivil, almost hysterical reaction that is perceived (wrongly or otherwise) as elitist and irrationally hostile an effective approach?

I question the basis of the reaction and find it wanting. Paraphrasing now; "50 filesystems won't be instantaneously converted to Rust." Has anyone, anywhere suggested such a thing? I don't think anyone credible has done so. A strawman argument. The accusation of some forced conversion to a new "religion" is also baseless, not to mention insulting.

An aside: the get_or_create_inode method example that was left on the display for nearly half the presentation is very compelling to me. It is explicit and comprehensive: one can trivially comprehend both the likely implementation of the method and the obligations of the caller without reading a line of code beyond that declaration. Practically self documenting and vastly superior to conventional systems programming C. At one point a speaker likened this to Java, I suppose because of the type composition. That's ignorant and false: that signature conveys so much more value than what one sees in typical Java code that it's not in the same ballpark at all. The verbosity has actual value.

Rust is great; a legitimate advance in systems languages. People are compelled by it. That has produced some conflict. Not all conflict is avoidable or inherently evil. The C side of this conflict will need better tactics if they're not going to just devolve into irrationality with false claims, baseless accusations and hysteria.
On the other hand, there are EU countries like Lithuania, which have a very privacy-conscious culture, and have not had any meaningful terror attacks for nearly all their history. The last notable one was 30 years ago[0]. No one died. In Lithuania, privacy is quite meaningfully enshrined in its constitution[1].

I remember that Google StreetView faced significant regulatory challenges in simply photographing people’s homes, and today, many buildings are blurred out. This is only one example. But you can see that everyone takes privacy very seriously in the country. A lot of social engineering-type phishing for personal data does not work because people understand which boundaries cannot be crossed intuitively.

More privacy does not mean more terrorism. There may be situations where reducing privacy does reduce terrorism, but privacy is not the cause. I wish governments would rather address the cause.

Yeah, ultimately there's an element of personal taste at play.

True gatekeeping is preventing people from exploring ideas by saying people should not fork. Quite literally, you’re the one pushing for the gate to be kept closed.

I can’t help you with text comprehension, I’m sorry. Since you keep missing the point I won’t be replying any further, it’s wasted time.

Good luck with everything.
The statement ("No nazi bullsh*t") is an uninformed political slogan directed at all non-left-wing opinions. There's a lot we all must learn from the history of Nazis. Or the history of the USA (genocide of the Native American and slavery of millions of Africans).

If they are against racism, why don't they just write this? Because they want to sneak in a political statement. That's where they lost me.

Orban doesn’t need to crack down on political opposition he has a strong majority in his country.[1] I guess you have a wrong opinion about Hungary and Orban because the media doesn’t like him because he is a pain in the ass for many plans of the European Union and gets bad reporting.

Hungary has by the way not even 10 million residents.

I find it absolutely fascinating that from the ages of 60 to 65, this guy produced nine books, 499 hours of podcasts, and 14 software product releases.

For one thing it's quite interesting just to measure your productivity that way. I'm going through life generally just concerning myself with earning my daily bread. In my entire lifetime I've produced zero books, zero hours of podcasts, and a variety of software releases for other people. I think I'd be more proud of myself if I had a fraction of his track record.

It's also amazing that he's doing this at an age when most people are just getting ready for retirement, and seems to have increased his output over the previous 5 year period.

Goals I suppose. And it takes a bit of pressure off of me to think that you can still be this prolific later in life. The five year time horizon is pretty interesting, you can accomplish some pretty dramatic things in five years, and even in middle age you have several more of these 5 year windows remaining.
Suppose he were both. Then do we need to distinguish between them? If so, would it be possible to make that distinction? If not, can we afford to need to make it? This applies to all incomprehensibly gifted persons.

These scenarios are indeed not mutually exclusive. But in the cyberpunk fantasy the counter culture would be more visible and also accessible for outsiders. Like having your social credit score increased by some hackers hanging out in a Chatsubo hidden in a dark alleyway in exchange for a couple of illegal chips. In the black mirror version it would be completely hidden and super dangerous to even speak or think about it.
It's inevitable to some extent.

Maybe not exactly the same as China's, but the "common understanding" that your internet persona must be tied to your identity, and that this identity can be scored based on a bunch of criteria. - or that how you spend your money must be trackable and traceable.

It will begin to grow out of the places that are already used this way: things like insurances, then will grow towards "securities" such as mortgages ("where do you spend money, does it look suspicious to us?"), and afterwards to "luxuries" such as air travel. Eventually nearly everything will require submission of financial documents and social profiles for nearly everything and only when that's the case: with a whole host of people wasting time on re-validation of the same information and a huge bureaucratic mess; will someone come along and give it a government sponsored name and a centralised point of access and scoring. - and it will be sold as being better than what came before, and it will be.

This is how other forms of centralised identification have grown over time, so I'm not pretending to have prescient knowledge of the future.

You explained exactly nothing. You only said "do your homework" as if I am supposed to extract your exact meaning from a likely series of blog posts and videos.

I get that you want to emerge the "winner" here but it's not going to work, HN readers are fairly well-educated. I asked for a summary, you refused it by also reaching for an ad hominem.

Good luck indeed.
A perfect hands-on introduction. Gleam is on the paper the "Simpler Rust". Yet very powerful. But it's so incredible hard to become relevant in the programming language world. As others have said: Typescript (esp. with Deno) is not that bad. Yes, error handling is miles away from Gleam, but is this enough for people to make the switch?
I would love to see the diff between the hand-rolled recursive-descent parser and the ANTLR syntax!

I certainly feel the amount of boilerplate in my hand-rolled recursive-descent parser is manageable. Of course it's not as succinct as an EBNF grammar:

- For example, you have to write an actual loop (with "for" and looping conditions) instead of just * for repetition

- The Go formatter demands a newline in most control flows

- Go is also not the most succinct language in general

So you do end up with many more lines of code. But at the end of the day, the structure of each parsing function is remarkably similar to a production rule, and for simpler ones I can mentally map between them pretty easily, with the added benefit of being able to insert code anywhere if I need something beyond old-school context-free parsing.
An example for a social credit system would be the German Schufa score.

Al Acorn was one that freaked, and that was fun.

Funny, to me it seems people talk about this one a lot. And the same answer applies. Yes, we have free will and responsibility (because we can respond). Also yes, we do what we do because of physical mechanisms which means you could say we're "fated" (leaving aside the irrelevant complication of chance and probability).

However, the law is only concerned with people doing (codified) wrong. It lets people off for being insane, because dealing with insanity falls outside of its mission. And similarly it can let people off on compassionate grounds, if for instance they stole food due to being hungry due to poverty. Punishing people for bad luck isn't its mission either. And a contract signed under duress isn't supposed to be valid, because the law's mission isn't to enable formalized bullying. Of course in reality the law is sketchy, lacks compassion, fails to recognize forms of duress. But generally speaking the idea is that it's restricted to the bad things a person freely did, as opposed to things that happened to the person.

So then you might say, well, do we freely do anything at all, because it's all just physics and mechanisms. But a lot of the mechanisms are in our brains, thinking sanely (if immorally), so yes, we do act freely, when not coerced.

It's important to separate the part of fate which is the things we're probably going to think, which is our responsibility, from the part of fate which is the things that the outside world is probably going to do to us, which is outside of our responsibility.

As far as I know Orban changed the electoral law, he uses the votes from Hungarians outside Hungary (weird to vote for shit that does not affect you), the people in cities are not voting for him so he gets the votes from uneducated people that do not know a foreign language and get indoctrinated by the Orban controlled media. He is also super corrupt and Putin fanboy so most online English support he gets are from Ruzzian trolls.

You cannot fix society’s problems through technical means, every technology workaround around a bad law can be countered by legal/judicial controls.

Invasive conservative policies always see upticks in times of social upheaval. We live in a time with a high rate of change, and people want stability and control, and vote for politicians and policies that deliver that.

Make people feel safe and stable and they’ll stop pushing for laws to control other people’s lives.
