imho Go is a far easier language to learn than Rust, so it lowers the barrier to entry for new contributors.

Is learning a language even a thing anymore with $Internal_or_external_LLM_helper plugin available for every IDE? I haven't found syntax lookups to be that much a concern anymore and any boneheaded LLM suggestions are trivial to detect/fix.

    ... if your priority is clear, ad-free, conversational responses
    ... The clutter-free answers from ChatGPT Search
    ... ChatGPT answers because they are so concise and without advertisers
    In a cluttered web, ChatGPT feels like a helpful friend
This will not be its final form, though. I just hope when they get around to monetizing we have a choice between a free, ad-supported option or paid non-ads service.

Yes. The following is a lot more concise:

    a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
    print([v*v for v in reversed(a) if v*v % 2 == 0])

libria · a year ago
I think the above is a good idea of what's wrong with python (and Go), because in your example the list comp is evaluated in what seems to be this order:

    FOURTH-> print([THIRD-> v*v for v in FIRST-> reversed(a) if SECOND-> v*v % 2 == 0])
Which is all over the place. I'd rather see:

    a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
    a = reversed(a)
    a = [v*v for v in a]
    a = [w for w in a if a % 2 == 0]
    print(a)

Your comment made me chuckle. It was an interesting inclusion, considering she appears to be in an industry not usually associated with Zig enthusiasts (entertainment). I'd have thought they individually had enough financial independence that a solidarity statement wasn't required, but it's neat to share that your partner is excited about the things you're excited about.

Then email dang? Why bother asking us? We don't have any of this data.

Connecticut - I've never felt safer walking around at 3 am and I've made more friends in the last 2 months (without trying) than I probably have in the last 6 years of living in the bay area.

Good to hear! Are the comparable areas of similar population density? I'm wondering what incremental steps (non-partisan hopefully) can be brought to the Bay Area to slowly move it towards a similar environment.

Assuming these terms are all correctly spelled, this has to be the shortest sentence I've understood the least of on HN.

Guess I've got some googling to do.

Not providing a way to inspect those data except from within kernel drivers (or whatever Windows calls them.) The huge HN thread about what happened weeks ago had some comments about Linux using eBPF to get the same kind of information Crowdstrike needs and Macs having another technology to do the same thing. In both cases the kernel won't crash and take down the machine. Of course it's possible to hog a machine from user space and make it unusable.

And in turn, Microsoft blames the EU for forcing them to allow an external vendor having kernel level access https://www.euronews.com/next/2024/07/22/microsoft-says-eu-t.... Lot of finger-pointing going around here.
libria commented on Why does searching Google for random hex lead to car dealers? [video]   tmp.tonybox.net/hexgoog.m... · Posted by u/bonyt
CommieBobDole · a year ago
Looking at this very briefly, the results seem to always be inventory pages for the dealerships, which use long strings of hex or just random numbers as identifiers for the vehicles they have for sale.

For example, a search for "ca7112b7167c15e621412c0fbc0a6c97" brings up the URL "https://www.premierclearancecenterofstbernard.com/inventory/...", which has a gallery of vehicles at the bottom whose image names are of the format "9b362510c100095f02cf3cad9e365ea6.jpg".

I assume something inside the Google black box is saying "well, there's no exact match but this site has a bunch of strings with most of the same characters, so here you go".

Edit: And to add to this, I'd surmise that the reason you see a lot of car dealerships in these results is that they sell a lot of one-offs - instead of having a list of SKUs in inventory, they sell a unique vehicle just once, so the inventory systems need to account for that by using long strings as item IDs and the like. Also there's probably a limited number of inventory systems out there, so a bunch of random dealerships are probably all using the same one.

> no exact match but this site has a bunch of strings with most of the same characters

I suspect it's something similar, but more like partial string match which may score as "close enough to display". I get consistent results with the same hex string - dealerships - but if I quote it (exact match), I get no matches.
