Your reply addresses nothing in my comment. The truth of the matter is that El Salvador reached out to the IMF for funding to address a number of issues listed in the announcement, and the adoption of Bitcoin as a national currency is one of many many topics covered by the deal. Spinning this as "the IMF paid off El Salvador to shut down Bitcoin" is, again, a take born out of functional illiteracy.
This is, to put it mildly, a minority opinion. I don't hate Teams as much as most people do but my old (big and small) companies had both Slack and Teams and about 40% of employees had Teams statuses of "ping me on Slack I refuse to use Teams".
Cool to read. Thanks.
You miss the point. why the low view exists is irrelevant.

Frankly, while I acknowledge their necessity, I have a poor (default) view of both bankers and lawyers. I don't see them as bad people, but people in their professions do many bad things.

If my son brings a banker home as a prospective mate, well, let's say they're not earning status points from their profession.

You (may have) and I (do) have respect for people in tough jobs like see workers. Doesn't mean my mom wouldn't prefer I date a nice doctor. My point being that social respect does not come with your personal respect.
I understand that a self-coup could happen but to describe it as already happening seems premature... there are some things that will go to the courts sure but even democrats agree the courts are likely to find in Trump's favour.

Does that mean that the real coup happened when Trump picked the supreme court justices? Perhaps, but again it was very legal, and not particularly out of step from previous norms.

If you compare that to germany in the 1930s, a common example of a self-coup, you'll see some similarities but also large differences...

> The Reichstag building... caught fire... Hitler immediately accused the Communists of being the perpetrators... Using this justification, Hitler persuaded Hindenburg to enact the Reichstag Fire Decree. The decree abolished most civil liberties, including the right to speak, assemble, protest, and due process... the Nazis declared a state of emergency and began a violent crackdown against their political enemies... Hitler submitted a proposal to the Reichstag that if passed would immediately grant all legislative powers to the cabinet... allow Hitler's government to act without regard to the constitution.

>I guarantee you don't know any big drug traffickers operating inside the US that were sent to jail.

Feel like putting forward a source for that claim, or did you simply decide it's true because you think it sounds true?

Just to name a few examples: The Flores brothers, Frank Lucas, the five families of NYC, George Jung. All of these were heavily prosecuted and if they weren't major drug traffickers in the U.S, then no one is.
My Bayesian prior has been sufficiently updated to effectively know: I don't know a single mother with a restraining order for a son who doesn't smoke too much weed. I have met a bunch of mothers and sons in my life.

Clearly, smoking a shit ton is bad for people with marginal mental health or marginal emotional health.

if this funding comes from the gov't, then you're just forcing taxpayers to subsidize a less profitable funding mechanism. It's merely a wealth transfer (from taxpayers to these coop owners).

Ask HN: Is DOGE Inspired by Cybersyn?
In the early 70s, in Chile, there was a project for creating a country-level, centralized dashboard. Its purpose was to provide realtime reports about different sectors of the economy and society

Do you think that’s part of what they are trying to create? Streaming data directly from the most important federal government systems, to DOGE servers, for processing and analysis to inform decision-making?

No idea how much the author is experienced at Zig, but my thoughts:

> No typeclasses / traits

This is purposeful. Zig is not trying to be some OOP/Haskell replacement. C doesn't have traits/typeclasses either. Zig prefers explicitness over implicit hacks, and typeclasses/traits are, internally, virtual classes with a vtable pointer. Zig just exposes this to you.

> No encapsulation

This appears to be more a documentation issue than anything else. Zig does have significant issues in that area, but this is to be expected in a language that hasn't even hit 1.0.

> No destructors

Uh... What? Zig does have destructors, in a way. It's called defer and errordefer. Again, it just makes you do it explicitly and doesn't hide it from you.

> No (unicode) strings

People seem to want features like this a lot -- some kind of string type. The problem is that there is no actual "string" type in a computer. It's just bytes. Furthermore, if you have a "Unicode string" type or just a "string" type, how do you define a character? Is it a single codepoint? Is it the number of codepoints that make up a character as per the Unicode standard (and if so, how would you even figure that out)? For example, take a multi-codepoint emoji. In pretty much every "Unicode string" library/language type I've seen, each individual codepoint is a "character". Which means that if you come across a multi-codepoint emoji, those "characters" will just be the individual codepoints that comprise the emoji, not the emoji as a whole. Zig avoids this problem by just... Not having a string type, because we don't live in the age of ASCII anymore, we live in a Unicode world. And Unicode is unsurprisingly extremely complicated. The author tries to argue that just iterating over byes leads to data corruption and such, but I would argue that having a Unicode string type, separate from all other types, designed to iterate over some nebulous "character" type, would just introduce all kinds of other problems that, I think, many would agree should NOT be the responsibility of the language. I've heard this criticism from many others who are new to zig, and although I understand the reasoning behind it, the reasoning behind just avoiding the problem entirely is also very sensible in my mind. Primarily because if Zig did have a full Unicode string and some "character" type, now it'd be on the standard library devs to not only define what a "character" is, and then we risk having something like the C++ Unicode situation where you have a char32_t type, but the standard library isn't equipped to handle that type, and then you run into "Oh this encoding is broken" and on and on and on it goes.
It's all true ..

they have a large population, largest in the world, India second (or not, I don't recall) and with a growing middle class (it alone now larger than the entire population of the US) with western consumption patterns and expectations they have insane power demands and projections.

So, more renewables than anywhere else, more nuclear than anywhere else, and more coal than anywhere else.

That said, they build new coal plants that are state of the art and "less bad" than the many older coal plants they are ripping apart. They also use coal power to supply energy to transition off of coal and create solar farms, etc.

"It's complicated"

They're really just enum variants. You can easily capture the error and conditionally handle it:

fn failFn() error{Oops}!i32 {
try failingFunction();
return 12;
}

test "try" {
const v = failFn() catch |err| {
try expect(err == error.Oops);
return;
};
try expect(v == 12); // is never reached
}

GP isn't describing the underlying data structures, they're describing the basic interface of commits, branches, and tags. The 101 stuff you have to learn regardless, for any version control, not just git. Dismissing it like this just sounds like someone who refuses to hold scissors by the handles.
Said promise should also be checked for sanity. E.g.

Keep in mind, though, that Steve Bannon has developed strategies like "flooding the zone" to defocus attention and nip opposition in the bud.

This is a little stupid project that I created after seeing what AI can do nowadays.

In an "ideal" world:

- everybody should start using public/private key cryptography to authenticate each other, but that's still rather unwieldy nowadays. I'm not aware of any solution with a good UX;

- people would stop posting their photos/videos/audio recordings on the web, and also scrub anything that have been uploaded in the past.

We don't live in an "ideal" world, and TOTP is pretty widespread now, and you can easily read the TOTP code over the phone, etc. So this solution was born.

This product, much like iMessage and others, provides an inferior experience to non-Apple users. It aims to make other devices and operating systems look less capable and cheap.

iMessage also partially works with other phones. This doesn't change the fact that its intention is to create a lock-in effect, as evidenced by internal Apple emails.

> - The FAA has strict hiring requirements. You have to be mentally and physically capable, and by their own admission less than 10% of applicants are qualified for the job. https://www.faa.gov/air-traffic-controller-qualifications

This stands out to me:

> Be under the age of 31

> Applicants must demonstrate distant and near vision of 20/20 or better in each eye separately. The use of bifocal contact lenses for the correction of near vision is unacceptable.

This almost seems like a catch-22 give than approx most adults (80%+) will experience presbyopia by their mid-40s. So even if you're a qualified candidate, you've likely only got 10-15 years max before you are disqualified.

More broadly, I suspect some of these vision requirements could be reconsidered in the face of improved display technology and UX improvements (e.g. accommodations for certain forms of partial colorblindness).
The Rust compiler would complain in this case that the initial i variable is unused. Unused variables should be named with an underscore, _.
> Less capital cost, less labor, less wasted inventory, less chokepoints

I don't think this is a fair comparison without considering the subsidies that go to trucking, which are substantial: the interstate highway system, manufacturer and consumer auto subsidies, municipal tax codes and development that favors single family homes (further bolstering auto and road industries).

Consider that most of the damage done to roads is done by heavy trucks, but the cost is spread across everyone. That is effectively a huge subsidy.

- simple auto-completion (1-5 tokens)

- copying patterns with substitutions

The first problem is that everybody who wants to do the job needs to go through the FAA academy in Oklahoma, which is seriously limited by physical & instructor capacity. So only a couple thousand people a year can work their way through there, no matter how many are willing to do the job.

So first we need more training capacity, and they already have trouble hiring and retaining instructors. This is a more direct place you can throw more money at now.

A start would be moving some of the primary training to the control centers. There's more than one of them, spread around the country, and they already have their own significant training departments.

A significant fraction of people who get into the academy end up not making the cut. Then another good fraction "wash out" during extensive training for the specific airport/center they end up in.

It's a very difficult job and nothing they've tried before is very good at predicting who's going to be successful at it quickly/cheaply.
It's divide and conquer tactics. They are not interested in continuity or a smoothly functioning economy. They want chaos and panic because they can exploit it.

- Part of government is the legal system which a Judge's whole thing is being endless nuanced in understanding and applying what the law means; I would not considered this constricted robot like behavior even though the law is literally a bunch of written down rules.

- Part of government is funding research that involves people doing real experiments collecting real data? Are novel experiments those of constricted robots or LLMs?

- Part of government are the dedicated every day folks who are doing the best they can despite being overworked and under resourced who have to make life and death decisions in the moment every day (air traffic controllers), who monitor and coordinate relief and management of disasters big and small in a very interconnected world (we just had a global pandemic, are culling record numbers of chickens, had a bad hurricane season, and large wildfires) these are not people behaving like robots they are just people following laws and regulations primarily passed via efforts of lobbyists, or else are those that are written in blood.

Don't like the way a part of government works? Reform it. Don't try to burn the whole thing to the ground by doing shit like emailing the people responsible for keeping planes from crashing into each other that if they want to they can fuck off for the next 8 months on the tax-payers dime and then find a new low-stress job. Don't like certain regulations or the ways laws are weaponized against everyone but corporations and the wealthy? I get it, me neither I'd like to see affordable housing too. Unfortunately, congress has the responsibility to fix that, not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, nor any of his former SpaceX interns. If they want to make those changes they should get elected to congress or hell maybe for shits and giggles use some of that lobbying money for the common good they claim to care so much about.
> Exactly, too many people confuse investment (store of value) (...)

The "store of value" trait of money has nothing to do with the investment angle. It literally means value you store. It's the assurance that it retains it's value so to allow you to use it in the future to purchase something just like you could do today.
The obvious solution to this is to BUILD IT ALL IN AMERICA.

And while waiting 15 years for that to become possible, just move that US based R&D to countries not ran by idiots.

I blame myself for not immigrating earlier. I had a chance to move overseas for a least a year and I didn't.
Like I said, it's not about the color but the features.
~82% of all R&D funding in the US is non-Federal, and 75+% is industry. The total investment by companies on R&D is about the same as the US defense budget. Many people still think it is like the 1960s and 1970s, when US government funding of R&D was a large percentage of the total. Federal investment in R&D hasn't declined so much as industry massively increased their investment.

The Federal government found a niche in basic research for a few decades and funded the vast majority of that. Per NSF, today even basic research is <40% funded by the Federal government, again not due to a decline in Federal funding but due to vast increases in industry investment. This shift toward industry investment in basic research was not overnight, it has been a monotonic trend for decades. Over the last century, the areas where Federal research funding is critical have dwindled greatly in scope because industry spends more money and is willing to take more risks.

One of the more interesting stories here is why and how this change happened in the US, to the point where the vast majority of R&D is funded by industry even in areas historically dominated by Federal government funding.
Don't see how it could introduce bugs. The point of replacing a variable is precisely to make a value that is no longer needed inaccessible. If anything introducing new variables with new names has the potential to introduce subtle bugs since someone could mistakenly use one of the variables that is no longer valid or no longer needed.

As a software engineer who works closely with electrical and firmware engineers I know what you are saying is completely true.

The question is how did we let it go this far? Why has there never been serious Western alternatives to JLCPCB, PCBWay, JLCCNC etc.? Has anyone asked themselves how these Chinese firms are so cheap? How can JLCCNC take ~$120 worth of raw material, CNC machine it into our specified part, anodize the part, and send it to Denmark for ~$120? Like what is going on?
