As mentioned in another reply, being able to take the address of any value implies supporting interior pointers (pointers into the middle of a value)

This is hard to implement in a memory-safe language. For example, the new WASM GC virtual machine does not support interior pointers.

I noticed this distinction recently, regarding the rewrite of TypeScript in Go:

https://lobste.rs/s/3q0ei5/10x_faster_typescript#c_xndrsg

- C#, Swift, Julia, Nim, Crystal, and very recently OCaml have separate value types and reference types. The choice is not orthogonal, which is what you don't like. (Java, Python, etc. do not have value types at all)

- Only Go and D have the memory model of C (values and references), with GC.

- Rust has also has the model of C, but with "static memory management"
> Yes, but what if you're the plaintiff/defendant and the other party has evidence in your favor? How do you get it before the court? That is what discovery is for.

What do you know of this evidence and how do you know about it?

> Honestly it just sounds like you had an easy case tried in China and a hard one tried in the US and are making some really broad assertions about the two legal systems based on a small sample size.

lol, no. It was actually the other way around. The US case was completely open-and-shut, whereas the Chinese case hinged on a matter of sensitive technology with military or "dual use" potential and it could have gotten ugly. I'll swear on whatever you like that I could hardly wait to get our US case in front of a US judge, but it was practically impossible. There are just so many absurd pretrial hoops to jump through. And all of them expensive.
> There was a proposal for a draconian law, it got brought up to light, it was fought and it didn't pass.

I'm finding it difficult to take your opinion seriously when you're getting basic facts wrong. Bill C-16 did pass, it's been the law in Canada since 2017. And as I said, it has not once been actually utilized in the way Peterson and I'm guessing, you, were so concerned about.

> "What do you think about punishing people through the law for misgendering someone?"

I think it would depend what you mean by "punishing people through the law." I don't think it should carry a prison sentence, if that's what you mean. However as a legally recognized act of discrimination, I think it's an important data point. For example, if a trans-person was fired from a job for "performance reasons" but was able to demonstrate proof of constant misgendering by their supervisor, I think that can be valuable to that person for a wrongful termination suit. Or, simple inter-workplace bullying. Like that's ultimately what that is, it's just being a bully, and I wouldn't suggest bullies be brought up on charges, but there also should be legally enforceable consequences for ongoing harassment.

And I can't think of why anyone would disagree with a position like that, unless the notion of bullying transpeople is just really important for them to be able to do, in which case I would suggest you find a new hobby?

The state has nearly unlimited power and resources to build a case against you. They also have nearly zero risk to the outcome. Merely being taken to court is already material loss to you. How is that fair?
But you need to compare comparable things. Those whatabout arguments are almost always based on very superficial similarity - it "looks" to be the same thing, when those are by nature profundly different.
Whatever the justifications were and whatever you call it, it was functionally the same thing as spying.
> We’re also a fear based society. When I visited London it’s perfectly normal to see single women waiting for the bus at 2am or whatever. Here as a grown man I got freaked out when I was approached by a stranger around 7pm. Was he going to rob me ?

> He actually was a local politician passing out flyers, but we live in paranoia land.

Sounds like you're a part of the paranoia. Violent crime happens mostly in small pockets but quite densely where it happens. But generally, most places are perfectly safe.

I've had so many experiences of telling friends I'm off to walk the dog around midnight or whatever and I get responses like "oh is that safe?" Of course it is! I do it all the time. People seriously think if you walk outside at night nearly anywhere, you're likely to be assaulted despite never having such a thing happen to anyone they know.

So many people are scared to ride public transit thinking "what if I'm attacked?!" And yet hopping in their car is the least safe thing they'll do that day with over 100 people dying in car accidents every day. You're way more likely to die a painful death in that car than you are riding the bus, and yet people question if it's safe to ride transit.
Just read the release post, or any other official documentation.

We should pick one of the other OECD states to copy, then. One supposes their systems are less-regulated, since they're cheaper for similar or better outcomes. That must be the case, if excessive regulation is the key problem with the US system, and not something else.

Show HN: I built a journaling app to reflect with history's greatest minds
I quit my job last year in search of clarity. I started building a “life operating system” to help me think better, reflect deeper, and make wiser decisions.

It evolved into Life Note — a journal where you write and receive letters from history’s greatest thinkers.

I designed it to act like a spiritual guru. It challenges you, reflects with you, and helps you see from multiple perspectives — like having a timeless inner circle of wisdom.

This is the first product I’ve fully shipped — and I use it daily. I’d love your honest feedback:
What’s good? What’s missing? What sucks?

P.S. Steve Jobs once said he wished he could talk to Aristotle. That idea stuck with me. Life Note is my tribute to that dream — and to him. He changed my life.
This makes it easier to both move into & out of California. It'll make existing suburban lots more valuable because they now can be subdivided so existing homeowners can cash in and move on. But the new subdivided lots will be cheaper than existing non-subdivided lots, so it's also cheaper to move in. Win-win!
Show HN: MetroJS – JavaScript HTTPS Client with Middleware
Hi,

I've made a javascript https client, based on the browsers Fetch API, with added middleware support. Prebuilt middleware includes JSON, OAuth2.1 and OIDC (OpenID Connect).

Differences with for example Axios, is that middleware can capture both request and response in a single function. Middleware is stackable. It is also completely backwards compatible with the Fetch API.

Direct inspiration came from Express (https://expressjs.com/).

Please let me know what you think of the API, and the developer experience.

In a home buildout, running fiber is surprisingly inexpensive and easy to do. There is one area to watch out for - In most US homes drywall is installed with screws that go into studs so if you have large bundles of wire or fiber be careful how the sit relative to the surface of the studs. Often the drywall screws will be off by a bit an miss the stud. If you wire bundle is large enough and it is a 2x4 wall vs a 2x6 wall you can lose a number of wires with a puncture.

A second common problem is the wire installer pulling the fiber around sharp corners, sometimes with staples and zip ties. Fiber is surprisingly resilient, but very sharp bends will cause significant problems. Using armored fiber can help this a bit.

Most Americans do these things, with the possible exception of month-long vacations.
Sears tools were fabricated in American factories. Compare those to Harbor Freight.

The sad thing is, if one wanted to buy tools of any sort that weren't Harbor Freight, you'd go to another store and get the exact same quality but with different colored plastic handles that just cost twice as much. And instead of tool steel, they're made out of whatever pot metal happened to be around that day.

Furniture is now almost always made out of something like cardboard, compared to the real wood that it was constructed from in that era. It would amuse me as a child when I'd watch some old film and the people had all their worldly possessions piled up on top of the Model T or maybe even a cart, and I couldn't at the time understand why they were bothering to do that if they had to flee. Well, because I'd do the same if I could somehow afford dining room chairs that weren't cheap junk.

Someone in another forum was complaining about Pyrex cookware, which is hardly some luxury good itself. Apparently they've not been made of the proper borosillicate glass in a long time, and so they're no longer really oven-safe.

This here is the key question, and I’d argue all we can do is keep talking about how great the view is from the mountainside, and how easy it is to reach the trailhead. Maybe people only take a few steps, maybe they give up when the trail gets rocky, maybe they don’t even get out of the car, but they’ve made an attempt, and the mountain is still there for them.

Vercel and NextJS should not exist.

I tried next once, and I was met with a bunch of hydration errors in production. The concept is nice, but the framework just over complicates everything for some potential gain of rendering on the server, while in reality none of this is needed (just use traditional HTML rendering).

And I’m not even mentioning the fact that the entire framework was built as a nice facade to sell their overpriced cloud service because todays developers can’t write a CI/CD pipeline that rsyncs their code to a VPS and reloads whatever reverse proxy they use.

Yeah, not sure why that got approved in the first place. Sure, it wasn't officially part of any of the protected/reserved names or whatever when it got bought, but Google shouldn't have been allowed to purchase it at all since it was in use already for non-public stuff. That they also require HTST just in order to break existing setups is just salt on the wounds.
My dad was privy to my grandfather complaining to my great-great grandfather about the bad quality of houses, tractors, and clothes in the 1950s — that the stuff built in the 1910s and 1920s was so much better. Carl (in his thick southern German accent) made the point that all the cheap clothes they bought to keep them out of jail (public nudity) disintegrated in a year and the only clothes that survived were the expensive ones, or the random ones that somehow survived the test of time. Apparently he'd had the same argument with his grandfather back in the 1890s. Sooo... I dunno; maybe things have always gotten worse, and were always better in the past? That doesn't seem to jive with the way I live vs the literal log fucking cabin they lived in.
Shame he did not take to the obvious conclusion that is now in evidence. The idea that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge" has been instrumentalized.

This relativism is encouraged, not because people genuinely believe all views are equal, but because it neutralizes inconvenient truths. If no one can claim authority, then no one can hold power accountable.

Yes, this was one of our initial considerations when we first started, and the telecom analogy of the original Erlang development application was one of the main reasons we took this approach. Now, we only "stream" metadata, control data, and status. Even though we manage video pipelines and color correctors, the video stream itself is always handled separately.

For anyone interested in the video stream itself, here's a summary. On-site, everything is still SDI (HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, or 12G-SDI), which is a serial stream ranging from 1.5Gbps (HD) to 12Gbps (UHD) over coax or fiber, with no delay. Wireless transmission is typically managed via COFDM with ultra-low latency H.264/H.265 encoders/decoders, achieving less than 20ms glass-to-glass latency and converting from/to SDI at both ends, making it seamless.

SMPTE 2110 is gaining traction as a new standard for transmitting SDI data over IP, uncompressed, with timing comparable to SDI, except that video and audio are transmitted as separate independent streams. To work with HD, you need at least 10G network ports, and for UHD, 25G is required. Currently, only a few companies can handle this using off-the-shelf IT servers.

Anything streamed over the public internet is compressed below 10 Mbps and comes with multiple seconds of latency. Most cameras output SDI, though some now offer direct streaming. However, SDI is still widely used at the end of the chain for integration with video mixers, replay servers, and other production equipment.
I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment at all, but your 99% number is definitely way off.

The number of PEs in the US seems to be around 500,000 per NCEES. That represents way more than 1% of all "engineers" -- there are not 50 million "engineers" in the US, unless Subway has started calling their employees "Sandwich Engineers" now. What are you counting as an engineer, if not a PE? For this discussion, an engineer would be someone working in a profession where a PE license is available, matching their day-to-day work. You could say "what about software engineers?" but that will skew your numbers, because we don't know how many SEs would be licensed PEs if a licensing program was available (which is kinda what we're discussing here).

The question is: for those professions where a PE license is available, how many get it? This is a number that seems a bit hard to find, but the consensus seems to be around 20%. So you're off by a factor of 20x. Please don't just make up random stats, or you will be contributing to the misinformation in the world.
The future will not be as good as the past, due to climate change, economics, demographics, and unrest, broadly speaking. I agree with John about the hellscape and regret for my own children in a "what have I done" sort of way.

I don't intend it as hyperbole, it's genuinely what I think is happening. I think we're in for much darker times than most people expect. This is a newish thing for me. A decade or so ago, I was generally optimistic.

You can ask them a single question to know the answer: do they have any cats/scalaz in their production code? Without their ilk Scala 10 years ago was the language Kotlin and Java are still trying to be.

But from what I have observed in the last few years Scala is either used in legacy projects or you're talking to a hard-core FP shop. The saddest fact that it's true even in Data Engineering with Spark :(
I did. What would be the crime?
next/image is a particularly poorly built piece of NextJS in my opinion.

At least the last time I used it (around a year ago), their was very little support for basic image transforms. Image resizing and cropping, for example, would always ignore the height provided and resize to the requested width. Any change to aspect ratio was done via a div wrapper and CSS, the image itself wasn't actually cropped to the requested aspect ratio.

This complaint is less about Next as many image services do it, but I've never liked the idea of an image service returning an image format other than what was requested. Deciding what image file size and format to request is a browser concern, the back end should just serve up what was requested rather than trying to cleverly decide the "best" format based on request headers.
In God's system (Mosaic law), they would go before the judges, plead their case, bring evidence (eg witnesses), and something would be decided. The U.S. was originally based on Jethro and Moses' method. Over time, the self-centered and godless people did to it what the Pharisees did to the other system. It was no longer about what's good or even doable for human beings.

I also like that the Biblical law, from commands to its case law, is the size of a small paperback. Much of that is redundant or case specific, too. One person could learn it in a few months of study. Whereas, there's no hope of ever knowing if you're breaking some law in this country.
When I spent a year in Germany circa 1999 I thought the food labels sucked compared to food labels in the US. There were cigarette vending machines on the streets all over Dresden and they even had little candy vending machines below them.

When it comes to occupational health and safety you can't say European standards are better.

The established process for making plutonium fuel is to grind uranium oxide together with plutonium oxide in a high energy ball mill, then pack the powder into pellets, sinter them, and then have somebody stick the pellets into a fuel rod with gloves. The process creates Pu nanoparticles, once of which could give you lung cancer if it gets deep into your lungs.

In the factory Karen Silkwood worked at they couldn't control the dust to the extent that people could work without wearing respirators. The factory successfully made fuel for the Fast Flux Test Facility but being forced to wear respirators was a "normalization of deviance" that regulators would not grant to subsequent MOX (mixed-oxide) facilities in the US. In France on the other hand, wearing respirators was seen as just fine.

It was a difficult problem to determine the occupational hazard at that kind of factory, confused by the "Healthy Worker" effect such that people who work in almost any job are healthier than the average population. Circa 2015 the evidence was clear that MOX workers really do get lung cancer, I think it's no coincidence that the US shuttered a planned MOX factory around this time.
In fact the llama.cpp codebase is well-developed and actively maintained. It has undergone iterative security hardening, intensive low-level security checks have been implemented in both the core inference engine and RPC components.

I was referring to someone saying "works for suburbs I'm guessing - I don't see how it helps out in metro areas?".

A "metro area" is by definition the overarching container (often including multiple cities and the suburbs of those cities, such as the Bay Area metro area), most definitely containing said suburbs. So if something "works for the suburbs", it works for the metro.
This is correct - I have pull strings in my conduits at my house for that reason. Pulling fiber down my 1000ft driveway would be difficult to do if the pull string was another fiber.
