You're Chinese police aren't you? This seems to be the whataboutism script Chinese bots have been using on other social media platforms in recent months.

I don't support Israel. I just find it too obvious the way
you try to shortcircuit and distract away from accusations towards the CCP by moving the point of contention elsewhere. Yes, America can be hypocrital but it doesn't change what people have said here about the CCP.
My major system programming languages are C and C++, but I did some projects in Oberon (which turned out to be not particularly suited for systems programming), and then created a modified, better suited version of it called Oberon+ (https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon), which I e.g. used to create platform-independend versions of different Oberon System generations.

But Oberon+ is still too high-level for many system programming tasks. So I'm designing a new system programming language called Micron (for Micro Oberon, see https://github.com/micron-language/specification) which has the full power of C without its disadvantages. You can even use it for the OS boot sequence when there is no stack and no heap, but also for higher-level application development, due to its selectable language levels.
Cool tool. is the source available some place?
Sorry to burst your bubble, there is already a war and Russia is winning thanks to Trump.

And don’t think it will be last one Russia started.
You sound word for word like you are regurgitating CCP rhetoric of Victor Gao
It's so heavily being pushed on social media right now, I suspect it's coming from the same forces who tried to make people believe that Trump would deliver more weapons to Ukraine and that Trump would be the better option for Palestine.
I always liked Erlangs “crash until someone knows how to recover”.

The tech itself is sound but there appears to be some unresolved issues around sound ridership practices that could be addressed. E-scooters were introduced locally a few years ago by a couple of rental ap companies and attitudes of local drivers have shifted to naked hostility in response to users flagrant disregard for both traffic laws and common sense. Understand I make no effort to excuse the behavior of motorists which varies on a spectrum from negligent to actively homicidal depending on how badly traffic is being impeded. The reality of the situation is pretty resistant to high-minded ideals however and choosing these modes of transportation in many metro areas is intentionally putting yourself at risk.
Trump's extreme unpredictability might actually be a advantage in this scenario.
Very interesting point of view, considering how Baron Harkonnen was depicted in Dune. I mean, was the life in Empire better or worse after he took power? Did life of common citizen changed much?
My view was that he basically just replaced Emperor by himself and most of things was still the same. He even married the princess just for pretence.

My view was that Herbert was trying to show how we could try to direct human progress and evolution if we would have ability to see the future. Both Paul and Leto II have such ability and they tried to do it with mediocre success. Tides of history were largely operating by forces they could not change but slightly skew.

My though was that they were both just trying to do good for the mankind, kind of succeeded, but not much - Leto was by intention so bad that when he finally fall - people scattered through galaxy with those new ships that did not need spice.

Was not this the real moral of the story? Resist stagnant empire and explore the universe? Basically the same as Foundation that is book from the same era?
Fair enough if you want to believe you only pay 26% tax. Sounds like you know about it but disagree it's unrealised salary?

You can see why the government created it in such a way !
The US denounced Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931 and refused to recognize that as new Japanese territory. A military response was not then considered, but to say that nobody in the US cared is false.

Edit: More so, the fact that America's initial response to Japan's imperialism was diplomatic rather than military undermines the narrative that America was just using Japan as a pretext to cover for America's own imperial ambition. America, far from leaping at an opportunity to invade Asia, was committed to diplomatic resolution of the matter until Japan's imperial ambitions drove them to directly attack the American military, forcing America to respond in kind.
The thirst for perfection is replaced by the satiation of shame. I take great pride and pleasure in being embarrassed in my work of years past, as it means that I am growing, still on the path that leads to only itself.

Understanding that the path of refinement and growth does not lead, even eventually, to perfection frees a person to do better, to be better, fearlessly.

Perfection is a cardinal direction. It is not a destination.
Thanks! Not at the moment, but I'm still considering open-sourcing it at some point

This makes no sense.

Zelenskyy should just have said "If Russia won't break any treaty, you shouldn't have a problem providing a backstop"

Trump just wants to rape Ukraine while he can. It's nothing to do with peace. If he was serious he could offer a backstop and get peace over night.
For those interested in performance ceiling, https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... provides additional data points.

What matters in practical scenarios is that ASP.NET Core is significantly faster than Spring Boot. If you have a team willing to use ActiveJ or Vert.x, you are just as likely have a team willing to customize their C# implementation to produce numbers just as good at web application tasks and much better at something lower level. There are also issues with TechEmpower that make it highly sensitive to specific HW/Kernel/Libraries combination in ways which alter the rankings significantly. .NET team hosts a farm to do their own TechEmpower runs and it just keeps regressing with each new version of Linux kernel (for all entries), despite CPU% going down and throughput improving in separate more isolated ASP.NET Core evaluations. Mind you, the architecture of ASP.NET Core + Kestrel, in my opinion, leaves some performance on the table, and I think Techempower is a decent demonstration of where you can expect the average framework performance to sit at once you start looking at specific popular options most teams use.
True , but inflating an endless assets and debt bubble in the hopes A.I will come to save us is also probably not sustainable.

I don't know about C#, but in my Java IDE when I set a breakpoint on an exception I can set a filter not only on the class being throw, but also on the class that catch it, the one that throws it and the caller method, and to trigger only after another breakpoint is hit or it is the nth times it has been passed. With this you can make it trigger only when needed in a farly easy way

> If you believe the US will or should only act in its own interest, then its interest is to remain the only superpower.

Not necessarily. Remaining the only superpower is far from guaranteed, especially looking at current economic and demographic trends. A better strategy might be to lead by example, establishing high standards that will set a benchmark for their successor.
That makes sense. In this situation it was a bit tricky as I didn't actually know the developer at all (different team), but I should have picked up on it.

I consider use of UIViewRepresentable to be a kludge, and basically removing the advantages of SwiftUI.

I know that SwiftUI has some native wrappers, like maps, but the way that SwiftUI works, is so radically different from UIKit, that I think mixing them is problematic.
Heck I can't plug my car in at home and it's still fine. I simply plan for the fact that I might spend 20 minutes here or there at the charger, at most once a week. Best case I do some grocery shopping, worst case I just sit in the car watching YouTube, either way is fine.
Looking at current Ukraine situation, the drone pilots are a couple of kilometers behind the front. The radio range of the drones is not that big. Yes there are higher tech ones, but there are still people exposed at the front.
Elixir is not a systems programming language.
RTA is what deprecated PICS. PICS was far too complicated once they realized trying to create all the categories was going to be impossible to fit into a single header and user-driven-content would be far too dynamic for categories and severity to make sense. PICS would have made more sense if all websites were operator driven and did not permit user generated content. RTA keeps it simpler in that "this may contain content not suitable for children". Just enough to trigger parental controls.
Why not free code?

as a german i do not believe that brexit is actually a root of their problems. it is more that despite advantages thanks to brexit they still fucked it up because their government is a bunch of greedy grifters. eu membership at best takes away some of their power and averages the incompetence and ignorance over several countries (as every member exerts indirectly power over all the other members to some extent). also leaving eu is a long-term project. it's ridiculous to argue that it's a bad thing to do just because the immediate effects are negative. that's always the case if something fundamentally is changed. the eu is a huge bureaucratic self-service shop for the politicians and their minions.
On the subject of Dualit toasters: I've picked several up on the street over the years, cleaned them up and replaced a few parts (heating elements and/ or timers) and for about £10 effectively had a new toaster to give away/ sell. Dualit toasters aren't the best but I wholeheartedly recomend them from the point of view of DIY repair and maintainence. Our current model is 20 years old this year.
Yea, Latvia is actually doing quite alright culturally for it's small size. We have multiple NBA players, Oscar winning producer ( movie Flow ) and bronze in hockey world championship in 2023. All that for a population bit below 2 million is not bad, sadly none of that will matter if we get invaded.

There is absolutely no talking to russia because russia will not respect any talks or agreements. Talking to russia will only buy time for russia to rearm and attack again. Here is the proof:

"Zelensky sent Trump list of all 'ceasefires' violated by Russia"

https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-gave-trump-list-of-all-...

russia respects nothing except getting punched back. They will break every single agreement. No amount of talking will make a situation any better, only worse, because it will give time to russia to rearm. The center cannot hold, it's too late, he comes.

Anybody who suggests "talking to russia" have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. Anybody who suggests "talking to russia" is either slow or works for russia.
1) The USA does not have launchable nuclear weapons in neighboring countries to Taiwan that necessitate a buffer

2) Taiwan does not represent unprotected border territory. Heck, attacking it sustainedly would require significant and slow naval logistics

3) Other than human intellect, there is little in the way of natural resources to obtain out of Taiwan. It's economy is manufscturung and export driven.

Other than some nationalistic pride to recapture teritority, they are not much alike.
In my experience, hardware people in the top decision making roles are the cause of degradation of software quality, not the solution. They often don't understand the nature of software and software product management.

True! I experience many iOS bugs every day. I try to report them, but I feel I always get a response - "have you tried to turn off and on?"

They treat us as dump users.

Even when the device is for PRO users, they don't want our feedback as they think the software is perfect.
I've somehow avoided Rust, so I can only comment on what I see in the documentation.

In Zig, you can just import a C header. And as long as you have configured the source location in your `build.zig` file, off you go. Zig automatically generates bindings for you. Import the header and start coding.

This is all thanks to Zig's `translate-c` utility that is used under the hood.

Rust by contrast has a lot more steps required, including hand writing the function bindings.
It doesn’t have to be drunks. I know plenty of people who, if they’re forced to move hire bikes left blocking the pavement, will do so carelessly as a matter of principle.
Thanks!

I had a look at the code and it looked distinctly like C++, but it turns out there is a C version [1] too. Haven't looked into it further.

Show HN: An open-source fullstack dual repo boilerplate. Perfect AI dev base
After starting many new apps over my time, I decided to save myself some time and create my got-to boilerplate for setting up a python api and postgress backend, with a next.js frontend that hooks up in an instant with full crud functionality. The setup consists of 6 commands in total, it's super fast and easy. I would love some feedback particularly on how fast you get it up and running (ideally with docker). I've struggled to find something like this that isn't in a mono-repo so I built it myself! Hope it helps
The implication that I read from what your wrote suggested that the US could offer "assistance" or sit it out, which is not an acceptable stance to hold, by history and the assistance that was provided in need.

Friendship among nations sometimes involves transactions that transcend the pure material considerations, and this shift in alignment is not desirable by anyone.

That's what I meant by "let's not go there".

But I see that basically we are in agreement and I also agree that article 5 interpretation could be dicey.
I call it ShitUI because you can tell immediately when a view uses it. It's absolutely incredible how bad it is and that macOS is becoming cluttered with these awful UIs. Have you seen the WiFi menu? How can they fuck up a menu? I just don't understand.
I've noticed it's a common practice on other places as well. It doesn't even need a reason, just random people or bots doing random actions to create more chaos.
Show HN: Lumigo – An AI-Powered Product Search Engine Without Sponsored Results
Hi HN!
I’ve always hated how product search prioritizes ads over quality. For example, searching for ‘I need the best wireless headphones for gaming’ returns pages of SEO-optimized lists and sponsored products, not honest recommendations. So, I built Lumigo.

How it works:

Aggregates reviews, blogs, and forum discussions (Reddit, niche communities).

Uses a mix of proprietary AI and open-source LLMs to analyze and rank products.

Shows why a product is recommended (sources, pros/cons, price trends).

No ads, no tracking, no BS.

Demo: lumigo.ai (free, no signup).
I’d love feedback from the HN community:

- Is the transparency useful?

- Would you trust this over Google?

- What’s missing?

Tech stack: Python, Next.js, hybrid AI models (cost-efficient)

Roast the code, the UI, or the idea—all feedback is gold. Thanks!
Every single kitchen I've ever visited in the UK has a toaster and a kettle. Just because things aren't popular in the US...
It's the other way around for me, it's all the concessions I have to make on Mac that make it so annoying. All the defaults I don't like, and the inability to change them or find alternatives like I can on Linux.
If you want that specific toaster (not a generic one, but the automatic one) its going to cost you north of 250 bucks last time I checked.
Yes, it was a non exhaustive list and I should have mentioned it...
A friend raving about it got me to go see the 1989 reissue, and I was similarly overwhelmed/blown-away. The intermission only added to the sense of it being an event.

Last year, I dragged friends of mine to see it in the theater. They, too, were amazed. Now, we've been reading up on those times.

The reading list, so far:

'Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East', Soctt Anderson

'Seven Pillars of Wisdom', T.E. Lawrence

'A Peace to End All Peace', David Fromkin

It seems like Ukraine is insisting on a “security guarantee.” Can someone explain how the U.S. providing a security guarantee wouldn’t increase the risk of american boots on the ground in Ukraine?
> Other than some nationalistic pride to recapture teritority, they are not much alike.

To add, Taiwan uses traditional Chinese and is more conservative to traditional Chinese culture. China abandoned all of that during the cultural revolution. There's been a recent nationalist push to embrace "traditional" Chinese identity, involving mainand Chinese people going to sites in Japan and elsewhere wearing "traditional" Chinese clothing.
Imagine the nationalistic outrage if someone wore a kimono in China. In practice, these traditional Chinese clothing are cheaply made cosplay from Taobao
Thank you for that addendum which, indeed, is critically relevant to the current situation.
Professionals don't use the "designed to be cheap for OEMs to license" Windows versions.

A lot of comments are either using home or edu or whatever, or are running in restrictive environments like on a corporate network where your IT department controls everything.

I like Linux. I use mostly Gentoo. I also like BSD but I can never think of anything to use it for. It's so good it's boring, which is great for production, not my favorite to mess around on.

I never really liked Mac OS X. I liked OS7-9, though, even though there was no real multitasking no multi-user.

But my main desktop is Windows on the metal. I ran Windows in a GPU accelerated VM for four years or so, and that was fine too.
Tim Cook strikes me as a bean counter.
The problem with electric cars is that you're still taking a heavy metal box, a large storage chest, a couch, and two recliners with you whether you need them or not. That's always going to be a problem, no matter how well charging works.
The only country Trump has helped more than Russia is China.

Interpellation (Philosophy)
Highlight:

"the individual is interpellated as a (free) subject in order that he shall submit freely to the commandments of the Subject, i.e. in order that he shall (freely) accept his subjection, i.e. in order that he shall make the gestures and actions of his subjection 'all by himself'"

Anyone find this uncannily familiar?
>we have a lot more mentally unstable people running around than we like to think we do.

So what do you believe should be the case? That AI in any flexible communicative form be limited to a select number of people who can prove they're of sound enough mind to use it unfiltered?

You see how similar this is to historical nonsense about restricting the loaning or sale of books on certain subjects only to people of a certain supposed caliber or authority? Or banning the production and distribution of movies that were claimed to be capable of corrupting minds into committing harmful and immoral acts. How stupid do these historical restrictions look today in any modern society? That's how stupid this harping about the dangers of AI chatbots will look down the road.

The limitation of AI because it may or may not cause some people to do irrational things not only smacks of a persistent AI woo on this site, which drastically overstates the power of these stochastic parrot systems, but also seems to forget that we live in a world in which all kinds of information triggers could maybe make someone make stupid choices. These include books, movies, and all kinds of other content produced far more effectively and with greater emotional impact by completely human authors.

By claiming a need for regulating the supposed information and discourse dangers of AI chat systems, you're not only serving the cynically fear-mongering arguments of major AI companies who would love such a regulatory moat around their overvalued pet projects, you're also tacitly claiming that literature, speech and other forms of written, spoken or digitally produced expression should be restricted unless they stick to the banally harmless, by some very vague definitions of what exactly harmful content even is.

In sum, fuck that and the entire chain of implicit long-used censorship, moralizing nannyism, potential for speech restriction and legal over-reach that it so bloody obviously entails.
Looks awesome! AI-powered CVE mapping and threat tracking sound super useful. Definitely a tool that could save security teams a ton of time. Good luck!
