I had seen marginalia mentioned here in HN a couple of times but never got around to use it. I'm very impressed. Using it I get this old Internet vibe (which someone else also mentioned). Just used it to get some information on a rando

Basic reading and comprehension is not covered in his last year of high school it seems.

Reddit is a social media app, you can’t consume anything significant in that time. So again, hard to believe. And if this is somehow true then it doesn’t really paint a positive picture of Reddit’s business. And this is about API calls, not

If you slander me and I have legally obtained proof proving you wrong I will 100% release it. Or use it in legal action against you. Fight fire with fire. Enough of covering for these psychopaths.

Did I parse his usage statement correctly? Is he saying a typical reddit user only consumes 5000 API calls per _month_??? I find that VERY hard to believe.

Exactly. Your experience does not have to be the same as mine, especially with overtly broad statements. It’s no different than someone saying “Don’t visit city $C. It sucks!”. I mean, it’s a _whole_ city, are you sure _all_ of it sucks? Ma

Ah good point. But in exchange you get cache locality of control block + data and single instruction deref.

Raw C or C++ pointers you can’t, at least not trivially. You either have a double pointer masquerading as a single pointer, or some other fanciness. Come to think of it, std::shared_ptr has a control block that points to the actual data. I

Yes, we know how egalitarian the USSR was, they didn’t discriminate against Jews or Asian minorities at all… /s

Correct. Moreover, if you shift the goalposts (wealth is no longer/can’t be primarily defined by a balance in a bank account) then society will adapt and create different wealth constructs to make up for it. So, you’ll have the governm

The GH interface might be a bit awkward, so what? If you can’t click around a bit to get access to a free resource then I think you are better served by Amazon. How quickly people feel they are owed something which they didn’t know it exist

In Spanish it most definitely does not. The most accurate translation would be ice box, or freezer, if you want to be super pedantic.

I’m surprised at Elixir failing with 1M tasks. I’ve definitely done this sort of test with Erlang without an issue. Although I can’t really remember right now if I pushed it to 1M tasks.

Picture an ice box hurtling down the freeway at 100mph.

I think, in part, it’s because people want shiny tools and lots of new features but nobody wants their code to break when upgrading to a new version. Such is the duality of backwards compatibility. That leads to lots of churning with people

For some reason, bzip compresses text incredibly well. And it has for years, I remember noticing this almost 20 years ago.

Those were supported by a 400k people workforce, a basically unlimited budget, and the political and moral support of the most powerful nation on Earth. I'm not trying to discount Apollo here, I myself can barely comprehend their achie

Maybe it's subjective, but the screencap from XP seems to show a much higher quality image. It seems there's still room for improvement. Awesome work regardless!

That’s my take as well. It is definitely an odd license for a binary, I’ll grant you that.
474.
by elteto 3y ago
Ah! Yes, but not quite! It’s not freeware. The binaries are technically open sourced, you can do with them as you please within the confines of the Apache license.
475.
by elteto 3y ago
Well, _technically_ you are now free to modify the binary and redistribute the result as per the Apache 2.0 license. That’s different than giving something as freeware, which would not allow/cover modification/redistribution.

They didn’t open source the DB, just the binaries.

Actually, I saw a comment on HN a while back where someone posted a link to a github repo maintained by some government agency (maybe the CBO? but I think it was more obscure). It was a complete and up to date implementation of the US tax c

Ah I see now. Thanks to everyone else who chimed in.

Wait, how am I overshooting? Reading your comment it seems like we are both in agreement. Or did I read you wrong?

by elteto 3y ago
A bit of an aside, but your comment made me realize how much we don’t know about the process used to create the technologies that underpin our civilization. We (laymen) have no idea about the incredible complexity behind manufacturing a sin
