Oh I should've said "ideologues" instead of "ideologes". Namely, the people who keep hammering this shit in newspapers

But to address your points

> human rights of LGBT people

Most of the contention here is around the T. I don't really have an opinion. I'm not changing my voting pattern because of such a small demographic

> protection of women from sexual abuse and coersion

And now we're living in the world of guilty until proven innocent. E.g. donglegate. Enough is enough

> justice for minorities

Which in practice means officially racist and sexist policies directed towards white and Asian men because they're considered "less favorable" demographics. I think the fundamentally dishonest way this issue in particular is framed is enough to completely delegitimize anything else they're saying. Consider me a single issue voter on this issue moving forward

> For example, "unhinged illegal immigration' is a characterization of the right

Well, it's technically illegal, right? And compared to other Western countries who actually have borders, it's technically unhinged. "Undocumented migrants" - what does this mean? It's just a dishonest euphemism that tries to legitimize the situation
This isn’t restricted to third world countries. I’m an ML Engineer and had someone reach out to me last year about a position at a US based startup that is essentially doing the same thing as this, but for service staff in restaurants.

Another level of "Why": QR codes were invented in 1994 in Japan for automated scanning. As you all probably know, Japanese uses Kanji, and hiragana+katakana; it does not rely on the Latin alphabet. However, Japanese speakers are familiar with it and occasionally use it for specific purposes. While katakana is commonly used for transliterating foreign words, sometimes the exact original spelling is preserved for stylistic reasons, especially in acronyms or single-word cases.

However, in such cases, they usually use only capital letters. In Japanese, there's no distinction between lowercase and uppercase letters. So for them this distinction is, if you allow some leeway, similar to the differences between normal, italic, or bold letters in English. So it makes sense with this context, if you are making a "group of letters and numbers", to default to uppercase + numbers as the normal/shorter version.

> Looking forward, we're also seeing exciting and promising developments in hardware. Technologies like ARM's Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) and the Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) architecture offer a complementary defense, particularly for existing code.

IIRC there's some way that a Python C extension can accidentally disable the NX bit for the whole process.. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40474510#40486181 :

> We are collaborating with industry and academic partners to develop potential standards, and our joint authorship of the recent CACM call-to-action marks an important first step in this process. In addition, as outlined in our Secure by Design whitepaper and in our memory safety strategy, we are deeply committed to building security into the foundation of our products and services.

> That's why we're also investing in techniques to improve the safety of our existing C++ codebase by design, such as deploying hardened libc++.

...

A graded memory safety standard is one aspect of security.

> Tailor memory safety requirements based on need: The framework should establish different levels of safety assurance, akin to SLSA levels, recognizing that different applications have different security needs and cost constraints. Similarly, we likely need distinct guidance for developing new systems and improving existing codebases. For instance, we probably do not need every single piece of code to be formally proven. This allows for tailored security, ensuring appropriate levels of memory safety for various contexts.

> Enable objective assessment: The framework should define clear criteria and potentially metrics for assessing memory safety and compliance with a given level of assurance. The goal would be to objectively compare the memory safety assurance of different software components or systems, much like we assess energy efficiency today. This will move us beyond subjective claims and towards objective and comparable security properties across products.
> I've been in several interviews, including on the employer side, where another technical interviewer asks these questions as a power trip. It's not helpful, and doesn't even get better candidates. Hence the frustration people are expressing.

Oh I get it. Again, if those skills aren't relevant for the job, stop asking them. At best you're wasting everyone's time. And at worst, you're going to make bad hiring decisions. In one chapter of Thinking Fast And Slow he says people have a habit of taking a hard question - like "Is this person a good candidate?" Instead of answering the question, we subconsciously replace it with an easier question - "Did the person find the solution to my puzzle?". Then, when you've answered the easy question you think you've answered the hard question! But you haven't - they're different questions. Puzzle interviews are a clear example of this cognitive trap.

Generally, nobody is born knowing how to give a good technical interview. But most people are thrown in the deep end anyway, with no training or no guidance on how to do a good job of it. So, as you say, they just cargo cult bad questions that they themselves were asked or go on little power trips. Very stupid and frustrating!

Which is all to say, I hear you and I agree that this is a problem. There's a lot of bad interviewers out there doing lazy interviews.

But.

I also think there are a lot of jobs where deep computer science knowledge is relevant and important. If you don't have those skills, you will (obviously) spend your whole career kept away from those jobs. So you wouldn't even know about them! But they're absolutely out there. React. Chrome. Linux. Sqlite. ChatGPT. NodeJS. HTTP2. LLVM. All of this stuff is made by other engineers. Usually, by engineers who know how to reverse a binary tree. CS questions might be overused in product engineering interviews. But CS skills are still relevant in a lot of very important jobs. Just, maybe, jobs that a lot of people might not be qualified for.
Obviously nobody finds it excruciatingly difficult, but you have a severe lack of empathy and imagination if you can’t see the utility here. Timers while cooking (hands dirty and/or full), measurements while woodworking/crafting/making, etc. and more as detailed thoroughly in other comments
This is certainly fun and that iMac definitely has a cool design, but I'll keep my 27+ inch monitor and 4k (or better yet Retina)..

I disagree. The quality of news media is massively better today. I have access to much more and higher quality information than I would have in the 80s. E.g. I was able to watch live combat footage of the war in Ukraine right as it happened. I have access to peer reviewed research just with the click of a button. I can discuss the news with other people right here on HN. A highly regulated media oligopoly with massive barriers to entry is a terrible system compared to what we have today.
Related to this: is there any kind of contractual language that keeps Steam creators from saying how much money they made on the platform? Please note that I'm not asking how much you made on this game, that's none of my business! Just wondering if there's an NDA or something like that. I've been curious about it for a while.
It could be. If their reputation changed slower than their content.
> geothermal cooling would be great on the moon

Surely it's selenthermal cooling at that point.
> if we’re deploying thousands of nuclear reactors globally, they need to be meltdown-proof. Fusion is the only way to guarantee that. Regulation also isn’t as bad.

I've spoken to a few former colleagues and a lot of them took roles because it was in writing Rust. It's not that the role required writing Rust and they happened to know it, it's that they selected jobs based on whether they would be writing Rust or not.

One of the problems I currently have is that I am not comfortable writing other languages anymore that aren't as strict. I was able to shift part of the cognitive load to the compiler. There are productivity benefits associated with that if you're writing code at that level.

That said, it's hard to find the jobs themselves as quite often you see requirements of Python/Java/Rust/Go. Doesn't tell you what stack they use.

I'm the referenced Bill Toth. Just thought I'd mention the funny fact that in private practice I've actually argued about the significance of database schema (less for security reasons, more for analyzing the outputs of the database).

So much hyperbole that I thought the entire video was a spoof on the practice of making a Doom proof until about a minute in, where I asked aloud to an empty room, "Wait, this is real?"

Also, he forgot to credit the video itself, which has a really high production value! Kudos all around!
The point about the sandwich was that the inputs to a function are not correctly referred to as its output. Those are distinct things.

If you wanted to further extend the analogy to apply to schemas then I guess the recipe would be the database engine and the final product that you eat would be the file layout. Knowing that the final dish will include jam does not mean that you have the final dish in your possession. The jam sitting on the counter is not the final dish.

Importantly, you don't even know how I'm going to use the jam. I could put it only on one half, or I could arrange it in stripes, or I could even use more than two pieces of bread! I might not even make a sandwich! I could even throw it all in a blender and make a (disgusting) smoothie.
Or they /do/ still need it, but they were denied access. :-(
Are you saying those topics were covered fairly and honestly by legacy media but also including Twitter(before it became X) and Facebook? Maddow still pretends that all of the former were false stories and Russian disinformation when it’s been established the contrary was true.

- personal liberties

this is fine if he really means it. This is the most important thing we get from the Constitution recognizing our rights as humans. It remains to be seen if it's really just to copy what what Musk is doing at X which is amplifying far right posts along with enragement (engagement) posts, and he deamplifie everything else.

- free markets

this is worrisome. it sounds to me like they want free markets for billionaires and their arm twisting of the current Congress and Trump, and -NOT- actually giving lower and middle class an equal chance in "free markets", because it can't be free if corps are allowed to run hog wild over rights, monopolies, and colluding between each other to dominate markets.
You gotta forgive people. We've all been a little eroded by regular assertions that a safe underhand throws, like turning a webpage into an electron app or whatever, are moonshots.

I for one love things like this. I wish we used a little more of our colossal production power to try manifesting the wilder things from our imagination. Maybe they can contract out how to make society have a better handle on balancing compassion for self and others. Or we could be realistic and get back to making a philosopher stone. ;)

How can you buy all the media when anybody who wants to can come along and start new media?

You can only buy "all the media" when there is a high barrier to entry, and with the internet, the barrier to entry is basically zero.

I am struggling to see the connection between the body of your post and the WP's editorial changes, but to engage with your post as a leftist for a moment:

- When you say you were criticizing HSR and got downvoted for it, is it because you were promoting Elon or Hyperloop in the same post? Were you arguing against public transit? I can't really imagine a good reason to downvote a post just for basic criticism, but I can imagine people seeing something that smells like Elon boosterism and downvoting that. (I don't, personally.)

- Criticizing public school closures without having a solid foundation behind the argument is probably a good way to earn a downvote from people who value human lives over schools staying open. During the early days, COVID was killing a lot of people. You can argue over where we should have struck the balance there, and there's data to support that we did it incorrectly. But people who remember losing loved ones to COVID will naturally get heated over 'we did too much'-type takes so I can understand how you'd catch downvotes for that.

- ID requirements for things with ticketing are pretty boring and commonplace? I can't remember the last time ID wasn't required for a ticketed event I went to, though it's been years now thanks to COVID. So what you've described here - interpreted generously - would have come across as an attempt to complain about vaccination requirements being clumsily masked by throwing in the ID requirement. I don't know the actual tone and content of the post though.
> assume he is unassuming, because he presents a human edifice that strangers open up to.

In my experience it is multiple traits that people open up to. Zero judgement, approachability, interest, friendliness and non-gossipy/tight-lipped about sensitive information.

Most people present as judgemental. It's hard not to appear judgemental, and it's even harder not to be judgemental. I love non-judgemental people, and have managed to collect a few (mostly female) as friends. One or two get told the most intensely personal stuff

are you some kind of fortune teller!? haha. so that's so funny you say that because that, too, is a big part of the story. actually I was gearing up to do exactly that - but everything blew up in my face and this Doom project was, in many ways, my way of picking up the pieces from the rubble.

there's another reason, which is that I really get a lot of energy from working with other people. it makes me really happy. and right now especially I really love the people I work with. I learned this lesson the hard way in my stint contracting - because the inter-personal relationships are very different when you're there one day and gone the next (as a contractor).

Show HN — [YC S22] – Rust for Impatient Developers (RFID)
Hey everybody, it’s Sarup and Paul.

"Rust for Impatient Developers" (RFID) is an interactive intro to Rust that skips programming 101, history, other fluff.

Key features:

* Tells you "how to write a function in Rust". Doesn't tell you "what is a function"

* Distraction-free. Introduces exactly one simple idea at a time, no more

* Includes simple interactive questions to verify you understood correctly

* 100% free. Mobile friendly. Tracks and saves your progress.

Try out the first 10 modules "Rust Basics" here:
https://app.codecrafters.io/tracks/rust

Why we built this:

We're the makers of CodeCrafters, which offers advanced programming challenges for developers.
e.g Build your own BitTorrent in Rust.

Our users repeatedly kept asking for a Rust intro resource that offered "just enough Rust knowledge to get started on a reasonably complex first Rust project".

Initially, we wanted to recommend an external resource.

* But books were too long & too intense

* Tutorials weren't interactive or saving progress

* Jumping right into a Rust project is also too daunting

So we built RFID :)

Please try it out, we'd love any feedback, it's early days.
https://app.codecrafters.io/tracks/rust

Questions:

* What could we improve in our current user experience?

* What Rust related topics would you like to see covered?

* What else is difficult about learning Rust? (besides syntax/concepts)
It almost did but Bezos is rescuing it from the other extreme. Remains to be seen if he leaves it in the center or takes it to an opposite extreme.

It's certainly strange, because his paper was clearly anti Trump for most of his tenure as owner.

And yet, he actually started cracking down on the editorial board before the election.

But a pedantically, technically accurate one, just on brand for this site!
right I agree. Fox and MSNBC are relentlessly one-sided, though if you fact check the two you'll find that Fox is -heavily- the leader in misinformation. CNN has actually gotten quite a bit more centric and it's easy to spot partisan people who act like they're shills for the Democrats. Another good source is AP News and BBC .
How did you structure your work in the first year? Did you set specific goals or just follow what felt right? Where did your motivation and energy come from, and how did you keep momentum?
Bezos is 100% what doesn't have him waking up dead.
I think it's expected for majority of the rich to be. Trump's world is one where money can (sometimes quite directly) buy things that they couldn't, or were difficult, to buy before.

And my perception might be very skewed, but to me it seems majority of the rich got there by not prioritizing moral goals and universal good above all, so this kind of world is more desirable.

I agree - but if a review system exists in the product, she's never seen it. They don't even have a staging system for testing changes. Its wild.

And for context, she works at a large organisation that's a household name here in Australia. This is a large organisation thats been around for well over 50 years. They have an engineering team and thousands of employees.

I don't know if the software is bad or if its misconfigured. But the status quo outside of our industry is jaw-droppingly terrible.

> Here's the difference with Fil-C: It's totally memory safe and fanatically compatible with C/C++, no B.S. The other approaches tend to either create a different language (not compatible), or tend to create a superset of C/C++ with a safe subset (not totally memory safe, only compatible in the sense that unsafe code continues to be unsafe), or just don't fully square the circle (for example SoftBound could have gotten to full compatibility and safety, but the implementation just didn't).

That's exactly the kind of thing that the boosters of all those previous efforts said. But somehow it never quite worked out.
