They can invest in $100-300K houses and condos and rent them out for $400-1200/mo all they want. Or even Airbnb or keep them as vacation homes if they'd rather. If there are no supply restrictions, it's not gonna affect the availability of housing for everyone else.

Which of course means they won't bother. The whole con is capturing working people's wages by raising rent and rent-derived prices. Conceptually it's similar to the nominally high-paying job in a company town, where almost all your wages get siphoned off by living expenses for company-owned housing and services. The only difference is the payer and the siphoner are different entities.
Ignoring the fact that, again, the astronauts in question weren’t in space for any appreciably longer time than anyone else on the ISS.

Fen-Phen, a Diet 'Miracle,' Rose and Fell
I spent every week of my college career wishing I could be so privileged as to be a woman in STEM. They are preferenced in literally every single thing that involves a selection, and on top of that they get access to tens of thousands of dollars of financial aid only available to women. There are sparse few (read:none) equivalents for young men.

Not three days ago I was four feet from the woman that runs my entire division at a large financial institution, who complained that there were far too many men in our SOC last time she was there. This time she was quite chuffed that we had hired two more ladies - after silently changing our hiring criteria to filter out any men.
That is what is great about HN. We discuss a broad range of topics which sometimes brings us discussing off subject matter but that are still relevant to the heart of HN. Media reporting and how they influence people is definitely a topic appropriate for HN so I can see how it was brought up.
> Biden has 3.5 years to adjust the policy and only now have the numbers gone up? It's probably not strictly partisan.

The Biden administration has been like that on even partisan things. Take Net Neutrality: they stuck with a FCC pick that couldn't get confirmed for years, and we only saw progress once they pulled their head out of their ass and picked someone else who could actually get confirmed.
I think rescue implies a higher degree of imminent peril.
In literally every thread about SpaceX people who don't like Musk (and sometimes others), people bring up Shotwell. Of course her name doesn't come up as often as Musk, Musk is literally one of the most famous people on earth, a highly controversial public figure and one of the richest people on the plant, who also owns and leads the company.

For most other tech companies people done even know the Nr.2 person in the company, and that includes companies much bigger then SpaceX. So if anything Shotwell comes up more often then literally any other Nr.2 person in a major tech company. I couldn't tell you the relevant people at Nvidia, or Google, or Microsoft.

Also the letter was more about the external image, that Musk reflected on them. There was no actual argument in the later work inside SpaceX was slowed down because of it. And from the continued progress SpaceX has made before and after that, there is no evidence of that it actually did.

But of course its also self evident that the CEO isn't doing 'boring day to day stuff', but neither is Shotwell.
Well, that's stretching the HN guidelines even if that were the case. Drawing a conclusion that an author may be biased based on their employment is far from an ad hominem.
I think what some are failing to realize is that many businesses are only now finding out that they are one step away from losing access to their websites. Before this wp engine vs Matt spat many of us genuinely thought that wordpress was a community project and not something that one individual could pull access to on a whim. They wrongfully assumed they had ownership of their website. That they held the cards. This is an eye opener for many of us. Regardless of who is right and who is wrong. I know for a fact that I wont let my company grow too big before moving away from wordpress and I am sure there are many more like me. Wordpress is not what I thought it was. That is ok. I just have more information to make better decisions now.

The way you phrased that suggests you're only familiar with CL-style macros, where arguments to macros are nested lists of symbols a function or variable is known by it's name (a symbol) and nothing more.

Racket's model is much more sophisticated and powerful. The input to a macro in Racket is a syntax object [1], which combines the CL-like quoted expression with additional source and lexical binding information. This means that in Racket, unlike CL, a variable is not just it's name—it's also all this other information. Racket uses scope sets to track binding information in a sane and hygienic manner across different macros and functions.

So, if you want to introduce an identifier that the macro caller can interact with (note: I said an identifier—you can introduce any symbols you want but they'll be different identifiers because their scope sets will be different) you need to explicitly state that you would like to create an identifier with a particular scope set. [4]

But that's the old, dumpy, clunky way of doing things. Thanks to recent research, we have much better ways of introducing identifiers in a sane, hygienic way. Gregg Hendershott's excellent "Fear of Macros" walks through making the `aif` macro using syntax parameters [3] which let you cleanly introduce new bindings. (See the paper "Keeping it Clean with Syntax Parameters" he's linked to in his post.)

So, in short, no, we're not back to regular CL macros because Racket prevents us from accidental variable capture but gives us an easy way to do 99.999% of the use cases for breaking hygiene (syntax parameters) and then one more way (`datum->syntax`) just in case we really need to do something out of the ordinary. In either way, Racket lets you express your intent with macros better and more precisely than CL.

Dentists and heart surgeons are still STEM. The S stands for science, guy.

As for the "fate" you're fearmongering about for women, what is that to you? I'm not worried about men staying home to raise children. Hurray for anyone that can do that in this economy. I'm worried about men rotting away on drugs, committing crime, and ending up dead or in prison.

Who's asking why does nothing work? I don't think anyone but the most ridiculous contrarians would argue that basic income doesn't work _at all_, that getting a free $1k/month somehow provides 0 benefit to the family that receives it. The basic income debate is largely between people who think it's worth the cost and people who think it isn't, so figuring out exactly what the benefits are is an important input.

This is facutally false. Starbase has no license to launch even 1/10 of the flights that are legal from the Cape. SpaceX just majorly invested into a second crew launch facility at the LC40. And SpaceX is building a Starship launch site at 39A. They have publicly stated that Starbase is for production and experimental development mostly. Please actually inform yourself before posting.
I had a chance to read the article, and what bothers me is that it seems to be inserting a form of sex-based zero sum game as opposing forces.

In my experiences, work and its nature has structurally changed since Covid. We're going into a recession, and AI is doing weird stuff to a whole lot of areas.

Basically, this article smells rotten as its initial presumption. There's a great deal of instability with our whole system. Blaming variants of sexism seems intellectually lazy.
It means that prior to parsing JSON, parser is given exact path (or paths, or wildcards) it must retrieve, and then it will scan the string in one forward path with minimum possible allocations. It's for cases where you, for some reason, have to process enormous amount of serialised objects as strings, and need to get just a few small things out of them occasionally, and do it in JS.

As it processes input in batches, you can also use it in cases where you don't even need to load the whole input data in memory, if you chose so.

This is about unstable cores that randomly output incorrect calculation and ways to mitigate it via better hardware testing and duplicating parts of the core that can fail often.

I did however thought initially from the title that it's about 1-bit CPUs like the MC14500B Industrial Control Unit (ICU) which is a CMOS one-bit microprocessor designed by Motorola for simple control applications in 1977. It completely lacks an ALU so essentially cannot count, but is designed for PLCs.
There are many white collar industries where almost everyone came from universities where you have the freedom to pick your major and 2/3 of the student body were women. In these workplaces you will hear an immense amount of fuss over evening out any lopsided ratios, even pre-Elon Twitter stating they were going to make Twitter's workforce more than 50% women (??).

Never have I heard a peep from these people any of my years of university or the workplace advocating more male representation in university. There is 100x the uproar about making university admissions match national race representation than there is gender representation. Why is that?
Looked up two definitions of rescue. First, is the default that shows on Google (via Oxford Languages) [1]:

> verb. 1. save (someone) from a dangerous or distressing situation. 2. informal, keep from being lost or abandoned; retrieve.

Per this one, if you miss the last train across the bay the the Uber _would_ indeed be "rescuing" you if you felt distressed. If we consider the informal definition, I'd say you're also being rescued since one could say you were abandoned by the train and thus being retrieved by the Uber. Next, Merriam Webster [2]:

> transitive verb. to free from confinement, danger, or evil

Similarly, if you understand "rescue" as freeing someone from danger, this isn't a rescue. The astronauts aren't in danger really— they have all the supplies and support they need. Nonetheless, they certainly are in confinement, so this could still be called a rescue.

I personally do see how the fact this mission was already scheduled, and the little danger around all this, can make "rescue" feel like a little much. It's the same word used in The Martian, after all. But nonetheless I would still call it a rescue mission. These two astronauts are confined up there not by will but by circumstance, and the taxi flight was modified to sending only two people instead of the usual four, specifically to make space for these two astronauts to come back [3].

How recent? I experienced stuff like that from an all female teaching staff around ~20 years ago but I have no idea what it looks like now.

I wanted to learn more about computers but the staff that were savvy were much more excited about teaching the girls, they rightly figured I'd have no trouble exploring that interest. At the time it was fine if mildly frustrating, now I'd be pretty worried about such behavior.
> You have literally no idea what the radiation exposure allowances will be for a manned mission to mars when it happens

These are well known and documented, to the degree we know things about human deep spaceflight.

> what advancements we’ll make to radiation shielding should we ever actually send a manned mission to mars

These are unknown. But they will, barring new technology, require mass. Which means more shielding comes at a cost. Which incentivises low-rad experienced astronauts.
There would have to be an absolute deluge of supply to keep those with capital from buying up, thereby driving up, housing inventory. Like the kind of deluge that keeps building supply stores full of empty shelves for months and bankrupts home owners nationwide as the price of homes plummet.

Personally I feel the solution is to clamp down on real estate investors. Also, your rent estimates are off by at least 3x.

Is a contrapositive a corollary? P implies Q is logically equivalent to Not Q implies Not P.

A corollary would be some other relation that can be deduced as a result of P implies Q, not simply a restatement of P implies Q.

The study doesn't show any "transformative" results. In all parts of the study the treatment group (the group receiving $1k per month) performed about the same or worse than the control group except in 2 cases: access to food and experiences of physical abuse.

The interpretation of the results in the first part of the study sounds like they were written by a PR person with a biased agenda in mind. Read the actual study in the remaining 83 pages [1].

Unrelated to the topic being discussed, but my mind immediately went to "per core pricing" which is common for databases. Some SQL servers would be charged for by the number of CPU cores in a system, and manufacturers would often offer an SKU with fewer, faster cores to compensate for this.

Taking that thought and thinking about adding "silent" cores is interesting to me. What if your CPU core is actually backed by multiple cores instead to get the "fastest" speed possible? For example imagine if you had say 2 CPU cores that appeared as one and each core would guess the opposite branch of the other (branch prediction) so that it was "right" more of the time.

An interesting thought that had never occurred to me. It's horribly inefficient but for constrained cases where peak performance is all that matters, I wonder if this style of thought would help. ("Competitive Code Execution"?)
Some of us are trying to optimize for things other than happiness. An occasional bit of happiness can be a nice side effect of certain types of optimization but happiness isn't a reasonable goal to focus on by itself.

What I was really driving at was that some are using the wrong definition of "space program." It's a good thing that space transportation is becoming a reliable service or utility, but that's something quite different than being the space program. If we came to think of launch as a very large part of what constitutes a space program, that's only because we allowed the costs of launch to become entirely too high, such that it dominated budgets.
Not downvoting, but those two links don't really describe much - though they are part of the story.

For other readers, here's a general takeaway -

- Arrow Plasma was deprecated, and is now no longer even present in the Arrow project.
- The maintainers behind the Plasma store in Arrow forked it, into Ray. Plasma is still alive and well in Ray - and it still uses the Arrow IPC format, among other things. In addition to the links from the above poster, read the original blog post on Plasma [0], and the section on Ray on [1].

I use Ray quite a bit. For more lightweight stuff, or for more low-level control, I use Arrow Flight [2] (and [3] for Python examples)

The program gave money to "who were pregnant or had at least one child, lived at or below the federal poverty level and experienced hardship related to COVID-19. Participants were randomly selected from about 50,000 applicants".

There were probably a million people eligible to apply for the program. 5% of them did. So when considering how well the program would scale, remember that the current results come from those in the 95th or higher percentile of motivation to improve their life.
> Starliner stranded two astronauts in space.

It didn't, because it wasn't simply broken -- it had unexpected behavior. It ended up landing fine.

I'm uncomfortable heaping pejoratives on what we should expect NASA to do: make engineering decisions to minimize risk and maximize chance of mission success.

Increasing the reputational or financial penalties to suppliers incentivizes exactly the sort of decisions that blew up Challenger and Columbia.

People have thought about it, but it’s so incredibly wasteful that it’s impractical. At 20% branching, you rapidly run out of resources pending the winning branch and spend possibly 8 cores just to predict three branches ahead, or roughly 15 instructions. That’s pretty rough!

> Oops, looks like its tempfile lib is written in library code in the style of mktemp(3), instead of calling the OS’s mkstemp(3) or equivalent. So it just finds a filename that doesn’t exist and then opens it separately, letting an attacker create a new file which they can read at that location between those two steps. Uh, have fun with your temporary files leading to exploitable race conditions guys.

Good catch. The API should be opening the tempfile atomically (the best option), or at least should use a CSPRNG for its random suffix. It doesn’t, currently.

Housing is notoriously inelastic. If you assumed a strict rule of 1 person to a bedroom, you can theoretically get wild price swings around the zone where the number of people in a neighborhood is about the same as the number of bedrooms.

You don't need to go crazy with oversupply at all to get the correct prices. Look at much of Texas today or at the rest of the country pre-1970 to see what a healthy housing market looks like.

I'm sorry, but I have no tears left for those who participated in the pyramid scheme, claiming ignorance or that their peers were doing it too. If their investments bottom out, they usually have enough political clout to screw the taxpayer anyways (see 2008.) We need to fix the market once and keep it fixed. We should bring it back to where it should have been all along. If there are people who have valid claims after that, we can always use some of the humongous "peace dividends" to settle them.
Yes, I wrote some literate Haskell professionally a few years back. I think it’s an interesting and useful concept. In my experience, it also fundamentally changed the way I read and wrote code, with both pros and cons.

What I’m advocating here is a little different, though. While it would certainly be useful to write documentation using more expressive formats than plain text, here I’m arguing for the ability to (a) attach that documentation to specific parts of the code at different scales and then (b) have all relevant information at all scales readily available depending on what I’m currently editing.

One of the reasons I would like to have this ability in my development environment is that I found the literate style to be very helpful for writing informative documentation but relatively unhelpful for finding it again later. By its nature, literate documentation is organised primarily for a linear reading flow, like the story in a book, but most of the time when I’m editing code, that’s not my typical searching behaviour.
