Spotify is a way to get famous. It's not meant to make big money.

Once you are famous you can go on festivals. That's how streaming works in my country. When enough people know your songs you can get 5k people to show up at your live gig.

I'm not the commenter, but yes, often trading firms record all order gateway traffic to from brokers or exchanges at the TCP/IP packet level, in what are referred to as "pcap files". Awkwardly low-level to work with, but it means you know for sure what you sent, not what your software thought it was sending!

You never have 3 party transactions - if you do, you would not be able to track money flow.

You can have multiple transactions. One to pay tax, one to pay fees and one to pay the actual thing.

You bundle these things in another abstraction, eg. An invoice.
One of the things I loved about Python when I learnt it was how it dealt with `public`\`private`\protected``. It was "we're all responsible adults. No need to hide anything. We'll just use a naming convention for members that we don't expect people to directly use."

"Enforce encapsulation" suddenly became. "Respect encapsulation" in my head and a bunch of Java/C++ problems evaporated.
You make my day! instantly brought to mind the many people I care about. It's one of the simplest yet most meaningful, and impactful ways to express respect, appreciation, influence, and encouragement to those closest to us.
This is a good piece, but I want to quibble with some of the conclusions.

> The whole thing was a case of the old saying: “When the paddy wagon pulls up to the house of ill repute, it doesn’t matter what you are doing. Everybody goes to jail.”

How does this apply? Sounds like the opposite - those who had not engaged in the illegal practices were unaffected.

> Once the SEC decided that most technology company stock option procedures were not as desired, the jail sentences were handed out arbitrarily.

That's just not how it works, at least not for white-collar defendants who can afford a proper defence.

There's also something to be said about this story being followed immediately by a pitch to sign up for a16z's crypto newsletter....
As a VM implementer, I conclude nothing from the observation that Go is slower on this test. Because it’s a bullshit loop that I wouldn’t ever write and neither would anyone else unless they were trying to troll people with nonsense “experiments”.

The fact that you’re drawing information from the fact that Go is slower on this loop is just you being mislead by a bad experiment.

If you want to understand Go’s performance, run some real benchmarks. My understanding is that Go is plenty fast.

I agree with your sentiment here, but I think it helps to think of those domain specific questions as technical questions, just from a different technical domain. Finance is technical, mechanical engineering is technical, even sports management and sociology have big technical components too. I think having an expansive view of what technical competence is breeds the humility necessary to work across domains.

Hey HN!

I built a service that lets you download WOFF2 fonts together with the CSS needed to host the fonts on your website.

I built this since I needed it for another project I'm working on. I thought that it might be useful for someone else so I'm posting it here.

The README is a bit sparse right now, but if you have any technical questions I'm happy to answer them.

> Rust ignores many [safety models]. As a general language it looks way too opinionated to me.

I'd like to see some actual examples of this, and I assume many Rust devs would react the same way. In practice, most proposed "safety models" that Rust complains about don't really work when considering that code must be enabled to interact not just within a single module but rather across modules. This is where Rust nudges developers to make the right choices for successful programming "in the large", while still providing the "unsafe" featureset for safety assurances within a single, self-contained context.
Isn't it kinda irrelevant? I don't think they can read it anyways (the people, not the party). Or has the great firewall been removed?

It depends on the incentives. In Japan the top selling car is the Honda N-Box https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_N-Box which is on the small light and slow side.

The US has dumb mileage policies to get everyone to drive huge trucks, and pretty much bans things like the N-Box.

In Japan you get a parking exemption with cars like the N-Box and it seems quite useable - top speed 87 mph. Review https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/honda-n-box-slash-review-...

I wouldn't mind them bringing in something like that - I'm in the UK where they don't have N-Boxes either but it would do the job and I mostly get around by e-bike these days so I prefer others to drive small light cars.
I just followed links in this article. https://tireindustryproject.org/faq/are-tires-the-main-sourc... is the link in the article, which relies on https://www.e-a.earth/plastic-paints-the-environment/.

Thanks for the catharsis word, I have to look it up for the meaning.

20 years or equivalent to 5 times Olympics games, is a very long time to develop and improve a software. It's now comparable to the real-time Linux kernel, another open-source software albeit it's a kernel not a user application [1].

Any other open-source software that has a comparable development time that I'm not aware of? But as the old adage says it is better to be a tortoise than a hare, as long you're winning the game.

Yes, sure, if it helps you to think in those terms I guess that makes sense. Being a bit reductive perhaps but I think what it comes down to is having an interest in the "why" as much as the "what" and the "how".

> Asphalt is a petroleum product,

Uhh, what? Not all roads are asphalt, tons aren't. But even then that's irrelevant. If I made the tire out of Vaseline would it have the same wear characteristics? After all it's also made of petroleum.

Road wear isn't just about the friction. A lot of it is the stresses of the road surface being squished into the ground and deformed. If you've ever seen a boat planing over the water, the road surface kind of wants to make a similar pattern but due to rigidity it can't quite do that. So the internal stresses of the system of the road surface are pretty radically different than the layers of a tire being stretched and pressed into an air bubble.
Horrible title! [1] [2] There is no box.

They are studing the formation of particles formed by a charm quark and an anti-charm quark, called "charmonium".

In their simulations they get a version of "charmonium" that is not rotaing, and also a version that is rotating. The non-rotating and the rotating version have different properties, in particular the mass. It's part of the weird quantum mechanics properties. (I'm skiping some details, in part becuse they are very complicated, in part becuse I don't remember them and in part becuse I never knew them.) IIUC the different mass agree with the mass obtained in experimental results.

The exact calculations with quarks are extremly complicated, so they use in a computer a standart method that use a grid/array to simulate a small region of the universe. Since the grid represents a small cube, the press release decided to call it a box.

[1] It's the original title as asked in the guidelines. This is not a complain agaisnt the OP, but a complain agaisnt whoever wrote the press release.

[2] The titles of the research papers are:

* Scalar and Tensor Charmonium Resonances in Coupled-Channel Scattering from Lattice QCD

* Charmonium and resonances in coupled-channel scattering from lattice QCD

I think both are fine. For HN I'd prefer a shorter version "Charmonium and resonances in scattering from lattice QCD" because in this short version I can imagine what every word means.

Does Gimp 3.0 still behave the same for GIF Animations and I use that feature extensively and the behavior for that needs to remain the same for cropping, scaling, and frame rates editing or I'll have remain on the older GIMP.

So there needs to be someone testing Gimp 3.0 against the previous version to see of any behaviors are not the same and sometimes that can affect workflows greatly!
> Ultimately we are all left worse off.

This is simply not true. Protectionism can have massive benefits. China making it impossible for foreign companies to gain serious ground there independently has been incredibly beneficial, else they wouldn't have done it. I happen to live in Korea which is similar in ways, and here too it's an enormously good thing for the country and its citizens.

The dream that protectionism is bad by definition is truly one of the biggest deceptions in economy of the post-Reagan era.

It's a great thing because it's basically funneling money from global megacorps to local corporations - which might still be huge, but nothing compared to e.g. Coca Cola or Google. This is a positive thing for everyone except for those companies' shareholders, and in a way the US as that's where almost all these megacorps are based.

This is really an important thing to realize, and I can't stress this enough. It's exactly like the EU imposing lots of regulations on Apple et. al. Apple isn't just going to take their bags and not sell there, nor have they raised prices to EU customers as a result of these rules. They simply comply.

Imagine if, say, Germany ruled that to sell Coke in Germany as an international company, you have to set up a 50-50 owned JV with an existing German company unrelated to Coke. You think Coke is neither going to give up on Germany nor are they going to raise their prices. They're simply going to be making less of a profit in Germany. Great for everyone. It has played out this way in every country with such rules in place.

I think (as already mentioned in other replies) it is usually less about chargers along major highways, but about charging at home/work. Which is especially relevant in places like Germany, where people primary rent rather than own their home and electricity costs are relatively high.

If you can't charge over night for cheap and maybe even combine it with your own solar installation, then EVs are losing a good part of their value proposition.
True. But the way you phrased it, it sounds like now the Russians had "an accident" in a Chinese ship and unfortunately some cables got cut as a result. Oh those poor clumsy Russian, surely they never meant any harm. /s

Anyways, I think the original "pretty dark view" can easily be extended to cover both these nations and it wouldn't be far from the truth (which, as you may correctly add, is the US-centric kind of truth - the best kind of truth as far as personal freedoms are concerned).
I have this same dream wayyy too often (uunfortunately).

- A language that transpiles down to human readable, idiomatic Go.

- Automatic folding of normal Go code into more concise/functional-style syntax.

- Proper preservation of where every folded token came from for byte-perfect reconstruction of the original code. (Probably involving something like a lockfile).

- On-demand transpilation during VCS checkout, or transpilation can happen directly in your IDE during file load/save.

I think as long as some tricks are done, the in-IDE transpilation could even let you reuse all the existing Go syntax highlighting and autocompletion IDE infra.

I started working on an IDE plugin to prototype transpilation "Go -> new lang". The plugin would replace Go code using IDE "code-folds" so it effectively didn't exist and wouldn't impact autocomplete/highlighting. And then you could use IDE snippets that expand to Go code to "pretend" you were writing in the new language.

But unfortunately, I have too many other wild dreams in my head so it never went anywhere.

N (LLM clients/vendors) x M (tools/tool suppliers).

The N×M problem may simply be moved rather than solved:

- We now have N MCP client implementations
- M MCP server implementations

This feels similar to SOAP but might be more of a lower level protocol similar to HTTP itself. Hard to tell with the implementation examples being pretty subjective programs in python.

That's kinda impossible though, given the variety of environments we find life in on Earth - there are microbes living miles under the surface, on massively radioactive spent nuclear fuel, inside thermal vents that reach hundreds degrees celcius....in fact I bet there isn't any environment on Earth that doesn't have some form of life in it, other than artificially created by us.

There is an argument that Mars probably already has life on it, as many of the probes we've sent almost certainly brought something with them despite our efforts to sterilize them.
That depends. Do you also tax when the car is driven outside the country?
I’d avoid the hardware. It’ll just slow you down or become a distraction… not to mention that everything takes longer. Want to wipe a VPS and start over? A few clicks.

Rust is a lot better at quick prototyping than C++. There is a specific idiom to writing prototype "throwaway" code in Rust though, where you .clone() and use RefCell<> and Rc<> a lot more than you normally would (not to mention really niche features like Any). The advantage is that this boilerplate guides you when refactoring the code for better reliability and performance later on.
While we're thinking of alternatives to Spotify, for years I've been buying albums straight from Bandcamp whenever possible, and HDTracks/etc for artists not on that platform. Then toss up the FLAC/MP3's on my Jellyfin server. I'm pretty sure artists get a lot more of your money that way, and you're not locked into yet another streaming platform that doesn't let you own the actual music files.

I did some testing in the meantime. Depending on what you render, it's about an order of magnitude slower currently.

The renderer is as simple/minimal as possible at this point (the focus was on the core feature set I needed until now), so it's performance is as bad as it can be :) There's plenty of room for improvement. I'll work on a few optimizations as I have time, but contributions are more than welcome.
