The solution is lifting people out of poverty not papering over the cracks with fluoride.

There is no fluoride in the water here in Norway yet dental health is good because of good education, free dental care for children, students pregnant women, and little absolute poverty.

To be specific, the challenge with cryogenic fuels is that you can't really keep the rocket fueled up all the time, so you need to spend a bunch of time fueling up the rocket, reducing the responsiveness of the system.

There were generations of hypergolic liquid fueled ICBMs. Those are typically pretty reasonably responsive (and reliable). Unfortunately the fuel is toxic as hell.

Europe does have native solid booster capability. The Vega-C has solid rocket motors for the first 3 stages for example. Very crudely looking at sizes, the 2nd and 3rd stages of a Vega-C should more or less approximate a typical ICBM.
China and India purchased $7 billion of Russian oil last month - 85% of all Russian oil exports. These sales dwarf natural gas sales.

What? Keeping passengers informed is zero effort, a nice thing to do, and probably a good idea. Why would you not say "we are returning due to a battery fire. The fire has been contained but we must return because X y z" or whatever.
Observation, not admission. The fact remains that you can't argue with feelings.
Outside of the 10 elements case, I don't think it's an overhead issue, the overhead is surely minuscule compared to the 1GB of data in the final tests, which also show a large difference in performance.

I suspect it's that the memcmp in the Visual C++ redistributable isn't as optimised for modern processor instructions as the .NET runtime is.

I'd be interested to see a comparison against a better more optimised runtime library.

Ultimately you're right that neither .NET nor C can magic out performance from a processor that isn't fundamentally there, but it's nice that doing the out-of-the-box approach performs well and doesn't require tricks.

I agree, .NET Core has improved by gigantic leaps and bounds. Which makes it all the more frustrating to me that .NET and Java both had "lost decades" of little to no improvement. Java mostly only on the language side, where 3rd-party JVMs still saw decent changes, but .NET both on the language and runtime side. I think this freeze made (and continues to make) people think the ceiling of both performance and developer ergonomics of these languages is much lower than it actually is.

Link rot in the article sadly.
In Japan's heyday (late 1990s), college life was described similarly (modulo the Internet), and it was said that American college students worked hard to graduate successfully. So this can be a symptom of the US's economic success — such an irony.

College students in today's declining Japan are working harder than ever before, and they're complaining about their parents' (now grandparents?) generation's broken understanding of the reality of college life.
Certainly a glass half full way of looking at it.

Yes. I'd love to see someone take the basic design of Windows 95 or even early OS X and reimplement it not so much visually, but tactilely. Make something that works as well, is as simple but isn't nostalgia.

In any case though, this particular attempt at giving a complete Windows 95 experience is quite cool.
Yes, this is correct. The span itself - the (ptr, len) pair - is on stack (by default) but the data is almost always on the heap, with stackalloc being the most notable exception

Because as soon as you mention "fire" you'll get a bunch of dumb fucks panicking themselves so hard they're going to behave completely irrationally (like attempting to rip open the emergency doors which IS possible at low enough altitudes) - or manage to induce legitimate medical problems.

I wasn't trying to imply she was merely there, as Rubio is saying they participated. They never said the op-ed was related... so my question is, if the only reasoning is taking part in the protest, then why arrest nobody else who was there?
Ask HN: How do duplicates get posted to HN?
I've noticed that duplicate links are sometimes permitted to be submitted and posted within a short window, e.g.:

I honestly don’t mean this as an insult or to be demeaning. I find this comment extremely illuminating and I don’t think it should be downvoted.

What you’re seeing here is exactly how cult members speak about their in-group versus out-group.

It is a deeply emotional and all-encompassing experience, just like gryfft describes.

Agreed, no truer answer, and not something that can be argued with for people who feel this way.

I appreciate someone coming out and just saying this instead of playing whack-a-mole on policies which clearly are totally secondary to the emotional overwhelm described above.
This matches my experience. In addition I was advised/strongly encouraged to "go dark" on social media and refrain from ever discussing work at lunch, even with teammates.

My badge only worked where I had explicitly been given access, and desks were to be kept clear and all prototypes or hardware had to be locked in drawers and/or covered with black cloths. Almost every door was a blind door with a second door inside, so that if the outer one opened, it was not possible to see into the inner space.

It's important to note that there isn't a monolithic "Satanism" and that LaVeyan Satanism, one of the more prominent sects of Satanism, doesn't worship (or believe in) Satan per se. I skimmed their bible a while back when somebody brought it to school to be edgy and it was more like a philosophical treatise with a bunch of spooky magic tacked onto the back end of it. It largely seemed to advocate a sort of hipster, spiritual Libertarianism [1] - the appellation of "Satanism" is something of an attention grab. From the article:

> Satanic Grotto members, who number several dozen, said they hold a variety of beliefs. Some are atheists, some use the group to protest harm they suffered as church members, and others see Satan as a symbol of independence.

Their site [2] makes them seem like a secular church type of organization:

> We are dedicated to improving our community through fellowship, religious expression, shared education, artistic projects and social activism.

This is all to say that the "Satanists" are more likely to be cultural contrarians than literal evil worshipers. I do not identify with either of the groups mentioned in the article but feel that it's important to point out that "Satanism" is usually not what it sounds like.

>I believe that solving autorouting will be a massive unlock for physical-world innovation and is a key piece to enable the “vibe-building” of electronics.

I strongly believe that the CAD world including EDA is at the verge of disruption by an AI or more correctly Machine Intelligence (Constraint Programming - CP to be exact) very similar to how LLM disrupting the Chatbot technology [1],[2].

The path to this is most probably by solving the autorouting mechanism with CP, a deterministic logic, optimization and constraint programming machine based intelligence [3], [4], [5],[6].

Fun facts, the modern founder of logic, optimization, and constraint programming is George Boole, the grandfather of Geoffrey Everest Hinton, the "Godfather of AI" and "Godfather of Deep Learning".

It's not that they can't afford a $3 toothpaste, it is the environment they are in that makes it hard to prioritize things like this. It is the education and the overall life quality (or the lack there of) that causes this problem.
If you have more than 10k employees and still keep the "spark" then you solved almost of all the modern days corporate problems. This is why big corps typically choose to spin off their innovative but not-yet-profitable business.

I think the issue with saying “make good new things” is that things themselves aren’t inherently good or bad—they’re just things. It’s the person who makes them that can be good or bad.

I have a saying (among others from my dad) that captures a similar idea: “Make things, and be good.”
Indeed it was not long ago that in the language there was no relationship at all between the Applicative class and the Monad class. And then one release Applicative was made the superclass of Monad. That's the reason why we have sequence and sequenceA, sequence_ and sequenceA_, liftM and fmap, ap and <*>, liftM2 and liftA2, return and pure, traverse and mapM etc. All these pairs of functions do the same thing but are duplicated for historical reasons.

This historical accident has, IMO, made the language harder to teach.
I'm not familiar with Haskell and am really, really struggling to follow the article.

In the case of the functor, the author doesn't explain in technical, specific enough terms the difference between "open the box, extract the value out of it, apply the function, and put the result back in a box" and "apply a function to a box directly; no need to perform all the steps ourselves." I have no idea what 'apply a function to a box' even means.

> That’s the essence of functors: an abstraction representing something to which we can apply a function to the value(s) inside

The error in this sentence garbles its meaning beyond recovery. "We can apply a function" governs two prepositional phrases that are semantically and syntactically identical: "to which;" "to the value(s) inside." There's no way to resolve the meaning of one without rendering the other incoherent.
The author has a phd in philosophy.

"chemicals bad because chemicals" I never said anything of the sort, this is a strawman you invented to strengthen your struggling argument. there have quite literally been studies linking increased fluoride to toxicity. it's not "chemicals bad because chemicals" it's "there have been studies suggesting this chemical may be toxic so why are we putting it in drinking water without a public consultation in the last 70 years?"

All my 24-year career is among 4 “very large” software companies and 1 startup. 3 out of the 4 had a culture of “// https://stackoverflow.com/xxxxx” type comments on top of any piece of code that someone learned about from stackoverflow. There was one where everyone made a big fuss about such things in code reviews. They’ll ask “we don’t have any functions in this project that use this Linux syscall. How do you know this is what needs to be called???” And you had 2 ways of answering. You could link a kernel.org url saying “I looked through Linux sources and learned that to do X you need to call Y api” and everyone would reply “cool”, “great find”, etc. You could also say “I searched for X and found this stackoverflow response” which everyone will reply to as “stackoverflow is often wrong”, “do we have the right license to use that code”, “don’t use stackoverflow”, “please reconsider this code”

It's hardly unreasonable to expect your peers to at least _try_ to understand what they are doing. Copypaste coding is never conducive to a good codebase.
Yeah, note the measurement is in urine. So there are two separate issues. Determining whether fluoride is damaging to IQ, and then whether the levels in water can drive this. The former is way easier to evaluate than the latter. The reason comes from that study's intro pargraphs:

---

"Since 1945, the use of fluoride has been a successful public health initiative for reducing dental cavities and improving general oral health of adults and children. There is a concern, however, that some pregnant women and children may be getting more fluoride than they need because they now get fluoride from many sources including treated public water, water-added foods and beverages, teas, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash, and the combined total intake of fluoride may exceed safe amounts."

---

So the issue is trying to isolate the exact amount and source of fluoride people are getting. And that probably has no answer because it's going to vary dependent on how much fluoridated water somebody drinks, the rest of their diet, their other dental hygiene composition, and more. So levels that would be safe for one percent of the population, will be dangerous for another percent of it.
The problem with Monads etc. is that they're simple concepts with extremely confusing names. Monad should be FlatMappable. Once it has the correct name it barely even needs an explanation at all.
