Why? So massive differences in wealth look significantly smaller? By graphing this in log scale you are admitting there is an "exponentially growing delta between rich and poor" and log makes it easier to even visualize (which is insane to begin with).

You can't exactly predict the future unless you have all the information, even theoretically.
L5 doesn't mean anything to anyone outside of whatever organization you're talking about (Google?). A Senior Research Scientist means "a person who is a scientist, works in research, and is very experienced in that role". Even if this is not the title he holds in his organization, it is an objective title that applies to him.
I wish people would stop holding onto compatibility as if it is some amazing feature. It has benefits, but also comes with many drawbacks to innovation and improvement in established ecosystems
A more accurate statement is that English is a language where spelling often reflects history and etymology, rather than phonetics.

There's always a relation between a spoken word and its written representation, they're the same thing in different mediums.

hypothesis : it's not per se affluence. it's the culture of the family and social circle. A dollop of $ to have some free time and maybe buy some books would help and might be necessary.

imagine a family where youngster is encouraged to work on intellectual problems. where you aren't made fun of for touching nerdy things. or for doing puzzles. where the social circle endorses learning. these things more important than $ in a first world economy. (if third world, yes give me some money please for a book or even just food. and hopefully with time, an internet connected device then the cream will rise they can just watch feynman on YouTube...)

that said, it's "better" than it used to be. hundreds of years ago most interesting science, etc. was done by the royal class. not because they are smarter (I assume). But they had free time. And, social encouragement perhaps too.

bill gates and zuck dropped out of Harvard right? it's not per se Harvard, at least not the graduating bit? being surrounded by other smart people is helpful -- and or people who encourage intellectual endeavors.
I read that you could take all the money from the billionaires in the USA and it would fund the federal government for 8 months.
Is English just badly pronounced French?[1] I wish English would’ve adopted conjugation and other patterns the Romance languages use. I doubt it would’ve fit correctly. But it would be better than having 1,000s of badly pronounced French words in the language.

Ah I think I wasn’t clear. I don’t really care if time moves sequentially or jumps around in random order. My concern is with the existence of time itself.

What gives space meaning is coordinates, which allow multiple things to exist separately from each other. Likewise you need another coordinate to differentiate “snapshots” of the universe. So in that sense time is necessary to differentiate two states. But i understand we’re talking about a more fundamental notion of time so i get what you’re saying.

Perhaps a better way to put it is time is necessary for events to happen. Let’s say you could view the universe from the outside, ok great but what can you do with that? You still need time to do things even if you’re outside the universe. Otherwise it would literally be frozen and meaningless.

That’s my issue with these timeless theories is people imagine viewing the universe as a static 4D object but they still talk about it as if things are happening outside the universe and you need time for events to happen.

If time doesn’t exist then a “gods eye view” is meaningless because nothing could happen from that perspective either. It’s also a strong statement about the origins of reality because if time doesn’t exist then reality could not have been created through any process. God or otherwise.
Easy fix: the ccTLD is now a gTLD.
Language is a social and cultural phenomenon. That doesn’t mean there are no rules. It means that the rules are implicitly decided collectively by the community of speakers rather than by a centralized body.
reject the alphabet and stop writing vowels unless really needed.
How can you imagine any world without experience (observation?) thus any observer is dependent on position thus time simply because it is the partial history that allows the state itself to exist.

And your second point is essentially the metaphysical argument for god and early spirituality. Hebrew mystiscm for example describes god pouring itself into lower forms of being to experience itself
That's why we need a row of ALUs in RAM chips. Read a row of DRAM and use it in a vector operation. With the speed of row reading, the ALU could take many cycles per operation to limit area.

IMHO those benchmarks doesn't necessarily say much without any power usage data. Not sure what the current situation is but historically it wasn't uncommon for battery life to drop by 2x or so in Linux without extensive tweaking.
> lingua-franca of the day that is English. Of course neither German nor French would be a better alternative as a global international neutral language.

Being a linga-frinca has nothing to do with merits though.

Aside from "linga franca" being literally "French", it's a matter of which group of nations have a tremendously dominant position on the international scene. If China was to take hold of India and Russia and set the rules for the rest of the world, the defacto linga-frinca won't be English for long, however intricate people might feel about Chinese.
If Ukraine started a nuclear weapons program, they would be in violation of the NPT treaty. Sanctions and loss of Western support would be virtually guaranteed.
A whole lot of yapping and ZERO code on the homepage. Authors should remove 90% of the stuff on that landing page, jesus!

also since zod is the de facto validation lib, might be worth a specific page talking about why this vs zod. even their migration from zod page looks nearly identical between the two packages.
Valibot is really nice, particularly for avoiding bundle size bloat. Because Zod uses a "fluent builder" API, all of Zod's functionality is implemented in classes with many methods. Importing something like `z.string` also imports validators to check if the string is a UUID, email address, has a minimum or maximum length, matches a regex, and so on - even if none of those validators are used. Valibot makes these independent functions that are composed using the "pipe" function, which means that only the functions which are actually used need to be included in your JavaScript bundle. Since most apps use only a small percentage of the available validators, the bundle size reduction can be quite significant relative to Zod.
Correct on the part of it being a runtime validation of data library (I can't as easily speak to whether or not it is similar to joi, never used it)
I mean, you do you. People generally don't complain if you're a couple hundred nanoseconds (if that) late. They do complain if your accounts don't add up by a single penny.
Valibot also has much, much more efficient type inference, which sounds unimportant right up until you have 50 schemas referencing each other and all your Typescript stuff slows to a molasses crawl.
Anyone reading your code is going to assume this is a bug. The PEP is right that explicit is better than implicit. You should write `except BaseException` (whether or not this PEP is approved).
Not necessarily to fend off hostile takeovers, Anthropic adopted that structure too and it might be that they're just admitting that it's the right option
I highly doubt that claim, maybe it's an ARM thing but there is no way that using the TLS package from Go add ms of processing on requests.

Did you tried with GOEXPERIMENT=boringcrypto ?
This seems silly. I hate backwards compatibility but this change will just cause people to use `except BaseException` everywhere which seems even less idiomatic than bare excepts.

ETA:
Nobody is going to dig through a large codebase to find exactly what exceptions can be bubbled up if they didn't design it with explicit exception handling in mind from the beginning. It will also potentially become a pattern people will copy in new code.
Teen survey reveals Apple Intelligence will push more iPhone 16 upgrades
If they did this 15 year ago, I bet google reader would still be actively maintained today. More innovation is possible when there are smaller companies working on fewer things. Yes there are economies of scale with large entities, but you then run up against the economy of shareholder attention if your little effort within the larger organization is not the current golden child of the day. When you work at a smaller company, that little effort is the entire company's product. It has to work and get better to succeed. It can't be forgotten about and left to languish like so many potentially great products and technologies that are chained to some large org today.
I think the killer feature of Zod is type inference. Not sure if Joi has support for it yet but you can take a zod schema and wrap it in `z.infer` to get the typescript type.

Personally I use zod in my API for body validations, it's super nice to write the schema then just use `type Body = z.infer(schema)` to get the TS type to use inside the code.
The choices are not “Google as it currently exists” vs “a world without Google,” but rather “Google as it currently exists” and “Google as subject to stricter regulation.” There’s a fair case to be made that the world is worse than it would have been if the US had kept a tighter rein on Google.
IMHO, working on a programming language is only for some, just like working on a database is only for some. The first rule should be: "you should never break the language, ever". Just like you should never break the database or kernel behavior.

This is why I like to stick to C, Common Lisp, Clojure, and (to some extent) Java/JVM. I don't know about Clojure's future, but C and Common Lisp have been fine for the last 40 years, and I'm not expecting the least in the upcoming years.
But they don't have to work.

Hard disagree on most of this. The immutability dogma for one (changing data is "the worst felony you can commit to your data"). Computing IS manipulation and transformation of data. The contortions people go through to try and sidestep that seem delusional.

Plus all this 1995-era OOP and domain-driven-design crap, "business logic" and data layers and all this other architectural rigidity and usually-needless complexity, layers of boilerplate (and then tools to automate the generation of that), etc.

If your function takes a dict, and is called from many different places, document the dict format in the function comment. Or yes, create a dataclass if it saves more trouble than its additional boilerplate and code and maintenance causes. But take it case by case and aim for simplicity. Most of the time I call out to an API in python, I process its JSON/dict response right after the call, using maybe 10% of the data returned. That's so much cleaner and simpler than writing a whole Data Object Layer, to be used by my API Interface Layer, to talk to my Business Logic layer, etc.
1. Such a script is proposed in the PEP.

2. Python does not use semantic versioning. 3.13 is a different major version to 3.12.
Care to name any more? That'd be greatly appreciated. Preferably in Cyrillic if possible.

(As for why: let's just say it's for a science project).
I've not used either, but it appears to be similar to JOI, yes.

The main distinction is that ZOD allows you to extract a TypeScript type from your schema. This means you get both compile-time and run-time type checking.
Yeah, I researched it after the surprise. Practically for as much propane as I use, it didn't feel worth it to look at larger tanks (there's a price jump, larger ones still have limited lifespan, and smaller is easy to transport/refill). Plus I already had several 20lb tanks kicking around, so teeing them together was the straightforward option.

Down the line I figure I'll be building some sort of generator "shed", and perhaps look at using the generator exhaust to warm the tanks. A loop from the heating system would positively solve the problem, but that feels like way too big of a circular dependency.
That's not always accurate, many of these government bodies fight the evolution of the vernacular and suppress dialects or loanwords.
I've heard that a good reaction time is around 200 ms, some experiments seem to confirm this figure [1]. At 60Hz, a frame is displayed every 17 ms.

So it would take a 12 frames animation and a trained gamer for a couple of frames to make a difference (e.g. push the right button before the animation ends and the opponent's action takes effect).

I recently stumbled onto this when looking for alternatives, and though it might sound a bit extreme: the style of documentation means I'll never consider it for any project. It's strange and honestly somehow unnerving to read documentation written from a first-person perspective. Is there some good reason for this that I'm missing? Or am I just crazy and this isn't an issue for anyone else?

What would the owner have done if they decided to sell the assets shortly before death? Either they can establish a cost basis, or the basis is assumed to be $0. I don't see why this is a big problem.
For those interested, I highly recommend "The Unfolding of Language" by Guy Deutscher, in which he describes how languages evolve over time, to the great annoyance of purists, but without either losing or gaining sophistication in the long run. It's a very entertaining read and has considerably reduced my irritation at "incorrect" use of language.

This is unironically the reason why stock trading is so heavily regulated.

If you looked at Bitcoin, whose entire pitch is that it's a poorly regulated speculative instrument, and thought "I'm going to put my house in this" you are an adult accepting unreasonable levels of risk.

Just because FTX (predictably) was run by a con man who got his whole company shut down DOESN'T MEAN that you're a victim. You gambled money you didn't have on a system you didn't care to understand and you are lucky to even get the money back.

Python does the same thing. It just calls Throwable something different.

Java Throwable ~= Python BaseException.

Java Exception ~= Python Exception.

The problem here is that a bare except catches something similar to Throwable, not something similar to Exception.
Yeah, the brain changing is another way of saying learning and remembering stuff. I trust the study is more than that.
If ads are the only way people are able to learn about products, then there is clearly a massive failure of imagination, as well as innovation. People know what they need, and have always known. The concept of exploiting human psychology in order to sell more of a product to people who likely don't need it is a relatively recent development in human history. Plus you can just search for stuff you need in a search engine...
HN isn't that special a place considering nerds think about Google as a "search engine" lol.

Google/Alphabet, first and foremost, is the largest online advertiser via its acquisitions of YouTube, DoubleClick, and others, in addition to selling ad placement on Google Search via AdWords, plus a growing number of consumer portals for price comparisons etc. integrated with Google Search (leaving out tracking your activity on Android devices, Google's cloud business, and Books/scholar). The immediate antitrust perspective starts by looking at Alphabet/Google subsidiaries both providing search results and ads on the pages listed in search results (and to a lesser degree even by pushing Google services via Google Search). This is what had ruined the web in more than one way.
But who's to say which new words are "acceptable" and which aren't? Of course if you ask old people they will give these Shakespearean answers, but they are not the ones defining the future of a language. It's the young generation. And they have a very different approach to creating new words. Why should their new words be worth less? And the example in the original post is actually the worst kind according to your definition, because it makes the language less consistent.

project was forked a while back in a semi-big way (classicPress) and I was super excited about it.

Some years later I believe the story I saw said that they had less than $200 / month being donated to the project to keep it going.

Now I LOVE the idea of a wordpress minus gutenberg, with all the code quality and security updates and modern themes and plugins all working together..

Do I think this is legit going to be sustainable with hardly anyone chipping in time and money - well, for an open source hobby site, $200 a year put into security might be fine..

Some of the more important websites using wordpress as a backend might want to rethink all of that.

Which is funny, because essentially that is what Matt is saying in the first place - for those who profit from it and can afford to, please donate so we can keep on keeping on.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't Wordpress open source? WPE is under no obligation to contribute source code or money. If WP is unhappy with the outcome, they should have released their product under a different license.
The amazing thing is that a dollar is only worth what all those millions of people agree it is. A few people having infinitely more wealth than everyone else is a very precarious position.
Forgive my ignorance, but is the difference because a burial FOR a dog implies some meaningful significance since the focus is on the pet, whereas being buried WITH the dogs is just a way for the dogs to be sent to the afterlife with the deceased (and the focus isn't on them, they're just along for the ride)?

The trigonometry involved was pretty intense at times.
If that was their point, then why did they use the example of nicotine, one of the few frequently lethal chemicals that haven't been linked to various cancers and other long-term health conditions?

I think the point CapstanRoller was making was just that their understanding of toxicology is limited to vague hunches, so they feel comfortable in dismissing any information from anyone who knows more than they do about the subject.

Well, it's definitely not impossible to publish a document declaring itself the standard form of english.

Seizing it would also have the secondary effect of a mass exodus of investment capital from the country, like capital flight in China.

A more reasonable way is to seize it is through taxation, either by a wealth tax or tax on unrealized gains, but it would be very difficult to implement.

Please let's not respond to false or mean comments by making up more false or mean things. Nothing could be further against the HN guidelines. We (and I personally) have banned many accounts for posting slurs against Indians (same as against any other group), including in this thread.

The only reason posts like that would go unmoderated is that we haven't seen them. We don't come close to seeing everything (or even 10%) of what gets posted to HN. We rely on users to point us to the things that most need attention, so the helpful way to react to such a comment is to flag it and/or email us at hn@ycombinator.com.
Disagree, the point is to visually show there is an exponential difference between LITERALLY EVERYONE (uber driver to Google engineer to VP) and like 100 people who have insane amounts of wealth. I agree Uber driver is not in the same bucket, but the way to fix it isn't going after VP its going after the other hump in the binomial where the wealth is being hoarded for generations.
I probably will when the budget frees back up, the ROI isn't there for the number of times a year we boondock completely off-grid.
