Are we optimizing for nice and clean database table constraints over paying out welfare to people who need it?
> We're talking about different kinds of bugs. One claim i'm making here is the poor iteration time imposed by Rust's complexity, significant design constraints, and so on, themselves cause kinds of bugs which are more readily addressed in C. Eg., I think memory leaks are easier in std Rust than in the kind of C i'm talking about.

Huh? Memory leaks? Poor iteration time? "Different kinds of bugs"? What are you talking about?

How do you leak memory in rust by accident? I've worked fulltime in rust for ~3-4 years and I don't think I've ever leaked memory in my code. I did it once on purpose in a script - but that was by explicitly calling Box.leak().

Poor iteration time? What? In my experience, iteration time in rust is significantly faster than that of C. Sure - the first program you write is hard, because learning rust is horrible. But once you know it, the ergonomics of the language make it a dream to work in. People make a big deal of the borrow checker, but its all the little things that the language does right that makes it productive to work in. Sum types. Match expressions. Iterators. Cargo. Editions. #[test]. References. Option and Result. Documentation. A standard library that works the same on every platform. And so on. Turns out we got better at inventing programming languages in the 50 years since C was invented. This isn't a rust thing - Swift, Zig and - in many ways - typescript and C# all support the same great feature set.

If you want to complain about rust, get in line. I'm no fanboy, and there's a laundry list of legitimate complaints you can make about the language. I've written thousands of words on the subject and annoyed a lot of people right here on HN in the process.

But you have to use it if you want to understand its flaws. It sounds like you're just inventing problems with rust from nowhere. How dull.
its was partially ~40% ported (10 years ago) to C but still only running on DOS
There has been a very large amount of flagging lately. I actually search now for various terms to see which ones have been flagged in the last 24hrs. It's definitely pretty interesting. You can do it by searching the usual suspects "Musk", "Tesla", "Trump" etc

Some of the flags have triggered large conversations and it seems like the defense of the flagging comes down to these reasons:

1) Not related to tech

2) Overtly political article titles

3) Duplicated articles

4) HN users disagree with the political reference from article/title

Having seen so many articles flagged lately, it's hard not to feel like the #4 group is key. I think this makes sense given the cohort of HN that comes from Sillicon Valley VC culture and who are a bit reticent at the creeping politicization of tech topics.
In which case you review the details they can provide, and if it looks likely legit you re-enable it.

However if their name is "bobby tables" and their date of birth is 35th January 1806, and their only proof of that is a handwritten note with star signs, you disable it till either more proof is provided or a court makes a final decision.
Well, come on, that's obviously false. Zero percent of British people own an OED or even have the resources necessary to consult one when they want to look something up. It costs over a thousand US dollars.

Founder of Salamanca here, an app that aggregates every major restaurant booking platform into one app (OpenTable, SevenRooms, Tock, Resy, The Fork and others..)

Firstly, nice site - always love new tools to discover restaurants, thanks for posting, I’ve shared your blog post with friends, it was a brilliant read.

I have some recent experience working with restaurant reviews, I found that using only Google reviews can be unreliable, as some places that have top reviews may not be generally accepted as the ‘best’ restaurants.

We currently use a combination of Google reviews + Trip Advisor + Reviews from the booking platforms and we have web crawlers to check if the restaurant is featured on reputable restaurant guides or review sites.

We aggregate all of this review data and compute a “score”, so when users search for available tables in a city we can show available tables at the highest scoring restaurants first.

We apply Wilson score confidence intervals, to trust restaurant scores that have more reviews.

We are also applying an exponential decay when users list nearby restaurants, as you might be willing to travel a little further to go to a higher scoring restaurant.

Working with review data is fascinating.. we’re going to be launching an AI summary of recent reviews and our computed score in the coming weeks to help our users understand our ratings.

Our app went live on the App Store only a few days ago and we expect it to be live on Google play later this week.. so it’s an extremely busy time!

If you’re interested in what we’re doing please reach out, it would be great to connect, I really enjoyed your article!
Plus I imagine win95 was still under development while they were writing the installer. Better to grab a mature component.

Read the article again. There was a violent incident with the staff as well. The system did listen to that man's needs. It provided him with a hotel room all to himself. Here's the result:

> All seemed to be going well. But in September, Morrisette got into a fight with staff at the Monarch and was evicted. “It was devastating,” Barrows said. Because she was out of town dealing with a family crisis, she couldn’t intervene or help him lodge an appeal.

> It angered her that one bout of bad behavior could cost him so dearly. Given his background and mental health issues, the Monarch should have cut him more slack, she thought.
As it involves multiple steps they use candence-workflow to orchestrate it. You could use it in a non k8s environment. Or something like Prefect.io.
Fair enough, but you should never ever do this for images intended for display on emissive displays, unless the goal is narrowly to preview an image for print, and even for that it's probably not a great idea.

For a general purpose, the results will just be bad, and anyone putting such images on the web is doing it wrong.

Oklab / Oklch is a different topic than the display of bitmap images, so if CMYK JPEGs is what you had in mind it's a bit of a tangent.
My "specific version" is the version used by government agencies, which specifically states that the government is giving people free permanent housing without requiring prerequisites.

HUD[1]:

"Housing First is an approach to quickly and successfully connect individuals and families experiencing homelessness to permanent housing without preconditions and barriers to entry, such as sobriety, treatment or service participation requirements."

California Department of Housing and Community Development[2]:

"Housing First is an approach to serving people experiencing homelessness that recognizes a homeless person must first be able to access a decent, safe place to live, that does not limit length of stay (permanent housing)...Under the Housing First approach, anyone experiencing homelessness should be connected to a permanent home as quickly as possible, and programs should remove barriers to accessing the housing, like requirements for sobriety or absence of criminal history."

You think it is not possible that people born in homesteads in the 1920s and 1930s in rural and isolated communities don’t have birth records? Or immigrants from countries that didn’t have paper birth records?

I wish it worked better on Firefox mobile, but the examples look really good.
I sincerely hope (and assume) “make” was a type for “made” there. That the front desk staffer, not the aggrieved customer, “made” somebody respond to the customer’s original ticket.
They could just take that $700M and divide it up among the ~8000 homeless in the city. That $87,500 per year would be enough to help get someone on their feet pretty quickly. Probably more effective than whatever the hell they’re spending it on today. Salaries for administrators administrating other administrators?
Are you not aware that San Francisco was the site of the biggest population exodus out of any city? You may not be miserable but if you’re unable to comprehend why that exodus happened then you’re completely out of touch.

I’m too lazy to find stats and stats may not exist anyway. You don’t need science to prove to you the ground exists when you get up in the morning. You use your common sense for that.
As one of the new devs , I feel like AI tools have pushed the bottom line higher , you can learn to do things and you can dive deep into technical aspect or in this case the basic implementation. But the velocity or expected velocity has increased , we expect more out of the junior devs then what we used to years ago , As if you don't use AI you're already behind.

There will always be people who know how to do things better , who can understand what will be the most optimal code style for fastest and/or smallest assembly instruction , and in future this bottom line will get moved much further.

We are probably coming close to something similar of 1980s game industry crash for engineers or we can avoid it.

New devs may not care for deep tech knowledge they optimize for opportunities, and you give them tools for their disposal to optimize for opportunities and they grab it.
I've been running for years but never got into that groove. I know and can "sense" my body well enough now that I know I can run for a long time with a 165 bpm heart rate, and I can adjust my speed/effort to not exceed that bpm. But it's never effortless or carefree running, it is really "stoking the engine" with focus and precision...

I still enjoy hitting targets, improving my speed and technique etc. but it is never a relaxing process.
3) AGI has almost happened, the current integration of real time visual, spatial and audio inputs with logical reasoning and different layers of learning (beyond context window and 'memory') just doesn't satisfy even the most benevolent definitions yet
> Which moral values might that be?

Exactly my point.

> Technology

Relative number of technology unicorns headquartered in Europe would be a good start.

Or number of bleeding edge tech industries you'd say "Europe" is leading (e.g. space, military, nuclear, AI, etc)
... but this does not replicate the kindle one-stop store experience.
and looking on the kobo store doesn't help either, i wanted the experience for someone who actually migrated from kindle. i may find the books i'm looking for now, but what are the struggles for people who actually used it? do they come later than kindle, are they using multiple shops, etc.

edit; yes, i know about the pirating options. i'm not talking about those.
Sports press is a joke. Didn't they talk a single time to a runner yet? They didn't find find out about the carbon shoe revolution yet, but triathlon had already banned them!
Demo Live – Digital Coffee Journal
Hey everyone,

A little while ago, I posted here about BrewLog, a digital coffee journal designed to help track brews, log tasting notes, and refine brewing techniques. The response was incredible, so many of you signed up, shared ideas, and gave feedback that really helped shape the project.

I wanted to give a quick update for everyone who is intrested: The V1 Demo is now live! If you signed up for early access, you should have received an email with the link. If you didn’t sign up but want to try it, you can check it out here: https://brewlog.coffee/

This is just the inital demo, so not all the features are there. But it is more to show the design, and inital improvements I've made with the feedback recieved. So thank you everyone who replied to the survey!

I’m already working on the next update, which will include so many new features! But also will allow the website to become fully functional so everyone can start using it, and saving their brews!

Hope you enjoy, and please leave any feedback, tips, or any questions below!
The terrorists kept winning and authoritarianism kept rising.
I would play the whole Anno series, but they’re Ubisoft games and incorporate a rootkit. There are too many good games that have a modicum of respect for their customers for me to pay money to be rootkited.
Meanwhile here in the real world, when the US government arbitrarily refuses to honor its agreements - obligations it has in good faith entered into, and which no other party first violated - the dollar cracks. Only a very stupid American (or Englishman) wants that. I concede there are many very stupid Americans (and Englishmen) to the fore just now. They are sadly no less stupid for such prominence.
Except housing is a growing problem in other states & countries as well.

Car break-ins are because the police were not doing anything. They have started trying to finally do something about it and made a dent: https://www.sf.gov/news--increased-enforcement-against-car-b...

But keep in mind that police only ever make positive progress on policies in order to extract concessions from the city

> "I'm optimistic about the progress we've made in reducing the number of auto burglaries in San Francisco, but this is just a start," Chief Bill Scott said. "I want to thank our officers for their tireless work. The SFPD hopes to build on this progress with additional tools, like automated license plate readers, to continue making arrests and holding perpetrators accountable."

> The City has also reached a 5 year high in applicants to join SFPD, which is essential for adding more police officers back.

Oh look, the police force is becoming more politically powerful & crime is down. Wonder how that happens.
It's funny seeing a Cuban place as #1, because it was the same in my old city.

The Cuban places were upscale, fancy, had amazing food and drinks. They became the de facto 'take a visitor out' spot. No qualms there with the ranking, few places even seemed to compete.

The disconnect(ie funny?) is that Americans think of Cuba as a failed, second/third world country as we're taught. So that would seemingly lead to the people/restaurants owners being cheap and scrappy. But here they are, showing everyone else up in multiple cities. I respect that a lot.
`filetype:epub book_name` should be tried first, in my opinion.
Interestingly clang does not lower down to that (instead it multiplies by 7 in a separate step) while GCC does.
I've seen it happen even as a young person, and still saw the fallacy of this "argument". I've been arguing with people twice my age who used it to silence any criticism of trends.

And it's totally an online thing, too. It's usually used to dismiss a thing without looking at the thing. Because if you could dismiss the thing by looking at it, you wouldn't need that old chestnut.

I don't blame young people for having less to look forward to than previous generations. I don't blame them for being unable to code, and so on. Blaming them for their lot is totally orthogonal to even having a honest look at what that lot is.

I never thought of a new generation failing the one's before it, being "lost" -- rather the other way around. We failed them. And by the same token, I also never dismissed people as being old and knowing nothing even when I was 20. I simply never once rolled that way, and I see nothing interesting, much less truthful, coming from it.
> by having all negative reviews removed

I've noticed the occasional incredibly bad business that gets bad reviews removed, but always wondered how they did it and how that works? A guess: they make some fake google accounts and report the review from multiple accounts?
Society is far from perfect and some are definitely leaning more towards broken than perfect. I don't know how many people really see themselves as part of society vs individuals living among other unconnected individuals.

Homelessness, poor physical or mental health, crime, domestic violence, discrimination. There's a long list of social ills that get worse when a society is inequitable and unequal. These problems and their effects go down significantly when a society acts to maintain its own health and distribution of resources is more equal, there is social mobility, individuals are under less financial stress, etc... Number will never go to zero or even close but there are countries where the base homelessness rate is similar to the US but the manifestation of problem is very different as is the approach, mostly that being homeless isn't considered criminal. e.g. very few people sleep rough, their homelessness period is shorter and living in cars is not normal.

Just that last fact, that living in cars is relatively common and that includes children, makes me look at the US and decide that yes, US society is broken.
Ask HN: Is there a individualistic alt to e/acc?
E/acc (effective acceleration) seems focused on pushing technological progress for the greater good. Are there any frameworks or philosophies that emphasize accelerationism but with a more individualistic approach?
Oh no! You're banned now! Look, the international word police has put a warrant out for you.

And other problems that do not exist.
Not long ago, it was all about SEO. Nowadays, it’s more about building reputation and trust. When you see a real face and a name—someone you can connect with on LinkedIn—it instantly boosts the credibility of a startup or any company you’ve never heard of. Even if AI writes the content, once you know there’s an actual person behind it, the trust factor jumps.

While SEO and organic reach are still useful tricks, more and more people are turning to ChatGPT and its alternatives as their search engines of choice. This shift means that Google traffic is taking a backseat to the curiosity and engagement of LinkedIn users.

Subnormals are a dirty hack to squeeze a bit more breathing space around zero for people who really need it. They aren't even really supported in hardware. Using them in normal contexts is usually an error.
That is very nice, thanks for linking it!
Theirs is the "foolish consistency" whatsisname was on about, the hobgoblin one.

Presumably you're aware that's not the only option, as your last comment before the one above was on a thread about the Finnish approach, which has found it to be cheaper and to act as a gateway to get people other help.
Who had bred you to be good at reading their emotions. Dogs not only grew eyebrows that wolves don't have, they literally evolved a new facial muscle [1]. (African wild dogs have a precursor to it. But it's morphologically distinct in dogs.)

It all boils down to what you consider more likely. Someone not quite understanding the data they're looking at or that nobody noticed several tens of millions of dead people receiving social security.

Whichever it is I would be very careful before making any grand public statements about it. And as far as fraud goes this doesn't sound anywhere near sophisticated.
> Not 50MB, that's not lightweight, which this thread is about.

I'm not sure what you're meaning to say to this but my point was that 50MB is absolutely humongous and so many websites are around that order of magnitude. 91kb is a lot smaller than it could be, even though it's not exactly absolutely small.
Top runners can run fast and far without it hurting. But when going for personal bests / very fast times, my understanding is that it is painful, for most of the run. E.g. watch some parkrun vlogs, and you'll hear people say things like "after the first 1km it's really painful, so just take things one step at a time, and hold on to the pace", etc.
You can simulate the speed of sound based on atmospheric makeup and temperature. That said, 9 km/s is probably going to be supersonic in most media (for reference, the speed of sound in most metals is several km/s).
I feel like this is one of the things python got right. You can start off with plain old data:

def Foo:
def __init__(self, foo):
self.foo=foo

Use it in all the ways you like. If then later you discover a need for a getter/setter type setup (because you're now e.g. storing foo in a different format internally) you can switch without any of the code depending on the Foo class needing to change:

def Foo:
def __init__(self, foo):
self.foo=foo

@property
def foo(self):
return unmunge(self._foo)

@foo.setter
def foo(self, v):
self._foo = munge(v)

I'll grant that the syntax is slightly wonky, but its really nice to not have to think about getter/setters when initially designing a class. You can add them when and where you need them without breaking other code.
I think you're replying to the wrong comment. The one you replied to doesn't mention headlines, but points to public knowledge pertaining to the opinions of Musk. If you want more: his family moved to South Africa because they _agreed_ with apartheid, and Musk is part of an administration that is setting up a concentration camp in Cuba, and advocates for the ethnic cleansing of people.
Not giving out evidence in a press conference (how does he even do that?) does not mean that his assertions were made without evidence.

Well, and the easiest way is some sort of web bug/tracker/log or traffic analysis.

See what address gets used, and blam.
As I stated above, it's the same kind of situation. See my another comment in this thread for an example with designated initializers.

>your code possibly contains undefined behavior

Only if f() returns a pointer to a2 (which is my point). Or did you imply that in the case when f() returns a pointer to a1 and it gets passed to the constructor of a1, provenance matters?
You are going to demand that these very old, often suffering from dementia, strokes, Alzheimer’s, etc… Americans go out to the state capital to defend their existence in front of a literal death panel? If they get their benefits cut off they die.
