I think it is more accurate to think of them as syncretic. (that is what Wikipedia has them listed as) Their main focus seems to be on nationalism/anti-immigration rather than socialism. Many fascist parties historically flirt with soc

What is causing the recent jump in new arbitration agreements? I have gotten emails from Google, Amazon, Venmo, various credit card companies, and now FreeTaxUSA in the last few weeks with very similar policy changes.

The idea of a copy with no original is even more relevant than when the book was first published as it has become possible to use AI to generate fake images. (e.g. the million "Look what they took from you" slop accounts on Twitte

A wildfire prediction market seems like a spectacularly bad idea. Essentially incentivizing arson.

Does anyone more familiar with Hurd know how they addressed performance issues encountered by other Mach-based kernels? I remember reading that one of Mach's bottlenecks was validating that each IPC message had proper permissions/

They do it because they get a dopamine hit from doing it, have superstitious beliefs, or have delusions that they can predict events they have no information on. Interested if you believe insider trading of stocks should be legal - aren&#x2

So what is the rational reason someone who isn't a subject matter expert (assuming that's what you mean by SME) to bet in prediction markets? The platforms appear to be marketed to the general public to be used casually as a way t

I think a lot of it was driven by the Chernobyl disaster, which was a massive environmental and health catastrophe. But plants today are vastly safer than Chernobyl due to better design and processes, which I think anti-nuclear people haven

The post you linked to seems to jump to conclusions, to say the least. For example: > One probable outcome of an unsafe-language-dominant world is full Andrew communism, which is precisely what Andrew “Smelley” Kelley proposes: abolish I

Laughable to imply that an individual retail investor will have any say or influence on a corporation as large as SpaceX in which Musk has a controlling stake.

There doesn't seem to be information on who else was involved in the scheme. Was the Falun Gong organization involved? Who were the people/organizations that he was laundering money for?

Yes, it has generics. The syntax is Pascal-like, which some people used to C-family languages dislike but I personally find nice. Performance can definitely match performant C code. (intended use cases include real-time systems and embedded

For people looking for other languages with statically checked contracts, you might want to check out SPARK, which has been around in some form since the late 1980s. It is a subset of the Ada language and had been used for safety critical c

They have definitely done a lot of marketing through social media and forums like HN. There have been large numbers of posts here by Zig's developers for years, and a few releases of LLVM even mentioned Zig prominently in their release

"Real excesses" is a bit of an understatement. There is the security theater instituted by the TSA, the militarization of police, normalized Islamophobia, mass surveillance of U.S. citizens, torture as an official military policy,

That is a rather narrow definition of checks and balances. The term can be applied to any group of organizations where each organization has power and interest to limit the power of the others.

I have no qualms with him deciding to step away from developing Zulip or setting up a foundation. My qualms are with his choice to work for an AI company when someone of his experience could easily have found a job working somewhere else. P

If he thinks working for Anthropic is a good "cause" to devote his time to then that is also very disappointing. That would make him either very delusional as to the effects of Anthropic's work or naive in what he can achieve

The FAQ was mostly written before C++11 with some updates since then. I don't think he is rewriting every code snippet to match modern styles. It is an enormous FAQ and not meant as an introduction to the language.

Ada 83 did have generics - maybe you meant OOP support? That wasn't added until Ada 95.
