LLVM is a backend: it takes LLVM IR (intermediate representation) and generates machine code.

This is a frontend: it takes C and generates its own IR (a simplified version of C).

You could glue these together with an adapter from CIL to LLVM IR to get a complete C compiler.

Clang is both a frontend and a complete compiler in this respect: the Clang frontend compiles C to LLVM IR, and these are bundled together to produce the Clang compiler.

(Note: I'm simplifying things here. Clang and LLVM are more intertwined than these, and there are several nuances I'm not covering; I'm going for a high-level perspective here)

> Manufacturers have urged governments to roll out charging infrastructure and introduce or reinstate financial incentives for electric vehicles — but this will not help sluggish exports outside the continent.

Yes it will.

The Chinese now dominate this market because they planned for 2 decades to solve the problems at each step.

They can export good EVs now because they built and sold a lot of EVs domestically and built up years of experience and supply chains.

In Europe you have half the media and political establishment in the tank for the fossil fuel industry. Constant headlines about EVs being a disaster, a scam, a hoax, a mistake. People fighting the laws necessary for the transition to work. The FT here, not understanding why regulation is necessary, because they have a bias against regulations, and that will doom the industry.

If you replaced the T400 because it felt slow, maybe it’s just a software/OS issue.

The hardware on Thinkpad T-models should last longer than just 5 years in general.

My daily-driver laptop at home is a T420 from 2011 with a Core 2 Duo, SSD and 8GB RAM. Works fine still.

Ask HN: Would you refer a remote engineer from Eastern Europe for $100?
I am trying to develop a new marketing channel based on trust and referral.

Here's the thing: Eastern Europe has been an increasingly attractive hub for Software Engineers in general, with hourly rates starting at $50 / hr for a senior developer.

However, most of the US companies are still hesitant to hire, despite giving a free one-month trial, and other risk-free ways of working together.

I think it all comes back to trust: no one does business with someone on a whole different continent.

If you're based in the United States, and you have a strong network of business owners, startup founders or scale-ups, my proposal for you would be:

1. If you introduce a Software Developer from Romania, I will pay you 100$ / interview scheduled.

2. In case that interview goes well and the person is hired, I wanna pay you a lump sum of $1000!

Obviously, you can talk with the engineer before giving the referral and to be fully transparent, I will act as a Contract Recruiting Agency from Eastern Europe.

Thoughts?

Yes. The Timex smart watch is perfect for this. You can find them on eBay for $20. You can get a SIM that works with T-Mobile usually. The only issue is that sometimes they are locked and getting them unlocked is some work. But I love these watches.

I'm using the watch for older people. There is a sport watch, which I think has an esim. I have one of these but haven't been able to use it yet.

Feel free to ask me more over email if you want. It's on my profile page. I definitely went down the rabbit hole on finding this watch and it was a doozy.

A combination of factors: Excessively narrow beam, additional gun deck, resultant high centre-of-gravity, healing over, and then shipping water through gunports.

Gunports are most usually open when guns are firing, which occurs as a ship is under way. Merely having open gunports should not imperil a ship.

The Bayesian similarly had a high CoG and windage courtesy its tall mast, and was apparently susceptible to shipping water should it heel sharply and/or encounter high seas, as seems to have been the case.
Skiing is mentally and physically genuinely enjoyable. Endurance/exhaustion running is defined as at least 12-hours of pain, which to me translates as "proselytization via self-flagellation". I hope the sense of achievement they get at the end is genuinely worth it.
Thanks for the reply. That all makes sense, especially around moderation and focus.

I’m not using anything now. I’ve tried out various products like Focusmate but what keeps me away is I experience ‘waiting mode’ where I’ll waste time waiting for a scheduled session to begin.

I’m looking for an open room I can hop into at any time that has a clean UI and is purpose driven for body doubling/co-working (i.e., not Discord or Slack).

I’d also love it if these rooms were organized by who is in them. It would be interesting to see what other ‘indie hackers’ are actively working on (as one example), whereas the todo list of someone not like me isn’t very compelling.

Right but the tech creates some new forms of bullying, and they're in addition to the traditional forms of bullying. All of which still presumably exist.

For example, you can now bully people anonymously.

And you can bully people at any hour of the day or night - not just in public, in the brief periods between classes.

And with widespread camera phones you can not only make someone cry, you can video them crying, keep it forever, and send it to lots of people.

And don't forget that very fragile $300-1000 bit of electronics the kid is carrying, would be a real shame if something happened to it.

In terms of aesthetics, Monokai Pro is my favorite color scheme. However, what always stops me from using it is the fact that it is simply only available for an handfull of tools. Personally, a consistent look between the tools I use on a daily basis is extremely important to me. And that is exactly the reason for me to spend money on a color scheme or a programming font. I just don't want to spend hours or even days customizing themes for every single tool.
Even though I personally don't like the color choices of the Dracula theme (https://draculatheme.com/) very much, I appreciate the fact that it comes preconfigured for almost every application.
Wish there was a similar selection for Monokai Pro.

Here we don't even put names on the ballot, instead there is number assigned for each, this scales up to hundreds of candidates. This does prevent write ins, but I see no reason why you could not have own ballot for each purpose and then say colour code them and append letter or two in front of each candidate for each election.

I've been using Org-Mode for over 10 years. There is no one way.

The TODO stuff I use a rough general guide of where I am, but I do not strictly adhere to it.

Essentially: Make Org-Mode work for you and your mindset, don't feel the need to bend to it.

We had a mountain of data to show that smoking causes cancer by the 1950s, the industry just spent a lot of money on lobbying and PR to obfuscate it. Same with asbestos and most of the other examples people point to.

We don't have that data for smartphones. It's an extremely mixed picture, showing both benefits and harms. As far as we can tell, the association between smartphone use and poor mental health is strongly concentrated in a minority of people with very high usage. There's a strong probability that the causality behind this association runs in the opposite direction - troubled people spend lots of time using digital devices, because they're escaping their troubled lives.

> many valid sequences are relatively nothing compared to the infinitely many invalid ones, right?

There’s finite invalid sequences, DNA isn’t infinitely long. It’s also not a question of valid or invalid we live with sub optimal DNA, so yea most people aren’t born with some new beneficial mutation. However, not winning the lottery isn’t the same things a dying, and even smaller wins still benefit us.

As to our long reproductive cycle, there’s a reason we share so much in common with other primates. Most of our DNA has been worked out for a long time. We share 98% of our DNA with pigs, and 85% of it is identical in mice which has practical application in drug development. Of note common ancestors were more closely related to us because both branches diverged.

Hell 60% is shared with chickens, and half of it’s shared with trees.

> only reproduce sexually once every decade or so at best?

Many sperm and fetuses die from harmful mutations, live babies are late in the process here. Also, because order doesn’t matter you get multiple chances to roll the same sequence for every birth.

PS: There’s also quite a bit of viral insertion into our DNA, it’s mostly sexual reproduction but we have some single cell ‘ancestors’ in our recent history.

> You think that's "quick" for dna which is made up of billions of 6-base-sequences and for a species that can only reproduce sexually once every decade or so at best?

We didn't start from scratch, we are very very late in the game, and the groundwork for us was laid by millions of other species that can replicate quickly, often very quickly.

Unless you believe the Earth is only six thousand years or so old, in which case we might as well leave the discussion where it is.

You're absolutely right: today's search engines and language models are limited by misaligned incentives.

That is the worst thing to do as it means at least one parent and as many kids need to have google accounts.
In Finland our kids pretty much go to school themselves from the age of six or so, and walk back when they're done for the day - and their afterschool activities are over.

So most kids seem to have a phone, be it smart, or dumb, from that kinda age. Certainly none of the kids wait for their parents to collect them that would be pretty inconvenient.
I was at a DJ shadow concert recently and he had a notice at the start about not using phones and letting others enjoy the show without devices.
