I thought it meant that they were only allocating on the stack instead of the heap, (which would still be wrong terminology-wise) but they're clearly doing heap allocations from the examples: https://github.com/labstack/echo/blob/master/example/main.go
It seems like for a lot of products a less gaudy solution would be a recycling bin with a barcode scanner. Combined with reorder thresholds, that would seem to also have a seamless process without the fugly.
History has shown that if you join an intelligence service, you basically forfeit your right to a fair trial if anything ever goes wrong.

Your potential future opponent can make anything secret and off-bounds that you want to present in court, has unlimited funds and no qualms to invade your private life and present anything bad about you, has unlimited funds to haunt you for the rest of your life, and has no conscience except to preserve itself, even if it was in the wrong. I've also got a hunch that their culture is not "let's all chill and find the truth" but has more of a clan-like "you're either with us or against us" vibe. And this organization has guns, lots of guns.

So in effect, it's a bit like joining the Mafia.

Considering this, one has to wonder why anybody would ever join such a service.

A nice quote from the video: "If it's in the news, don't worry about it"
I am right now unable to have lunch with co-workers. I've always done the group lunch and would always make every possible effort to get as many people involved as possible.

The problem is that at some point, I simply run out of people :( I am not that much of a social person who comes up to random people and socializes with them very well, so its really hard for me now, I'm not getting my daily dose of talking to people, its maddening.

Talking about work or not is irrelevant. What is important is that the conversation is completely friendly, enjoyable by all, not stressful, and does not in any way require immediate action. Also it means that at any point we can go off on a completely different direction talking one moment about building software and the next about how cats decide that your keyboard is a backscratcher.

To be honest, the lack of socializing is demoralizing and depressing :(
Number 9 seems to directly contradict number 8. By your own rationale, you should speak freely about/to your boss.

Alternatively you might try finding a job where you don't hate your boss.
What a crock of shit.

This strikes me way too much of the, "I see people doing something I don't do, so there must be something wrong with them." mentality.

I like leaving the office. Go outside for a good long, quiet walk along the creek to think about non-work stuff. Or going home and enjoying some left overs.

When I come back to the office, I'm fully refreshed and ready to jump right back into things.
I don't mind lunching together with a bunch of people if there is no pressure to join in with the "conversation" or the "group activity" at the table.

Sometimes I want to read the Bible at lunch. I don't mind if we talk shop about which chapters we're reading, which Biblical story best fits our challenges at work, or maybe even discuss differing viewpoints from differing faiths, etc, but a lot of times reading the Bible requires some personal concentration and contemplation.

In that case, I wouldn't mind eating at a big table - just don't expect me to join in talking about the latest movies, or which MacBook Pro is better to buy, or which web server we should use.

For me, I can handle reading in solitude while also being in the middle of a group. If the group of coworkers can understand and accept that idea, then I'm all for eating together.

However, if my religion makes other people at the table uncomfortable, I'd rather sit and lunch on my own.

The reporting matched the event exactly. He declared that it doesn't, and went off on a side rant. Yes, it's CPUs. That's what they were talking about. Everyone. Right up until he posted, talking about GPUs instead.
It's definitely not your old CPU - but it's a very different model from the threaded programming common with multi-core programs.

But I agree, "single core" isn't really true.
I don't think that's a very enlightened perspective.

Maybe with people like Trump in the world who would definitely capitalize on that type of thing to cast blame there is inherent risk, but at least amongst civilized educated people, its obvious a virus could show up anywhere and disseminating information shows a clear desire to fight the virus as a member of the world, rather than a desire to use it as a political tool or to gain an advantage because china can execute more draconian mitigation measures than a "free" country like America would be able to.

Where China is clearly to blame is the reduced amount of information clearly inhibited the fight against coronavirus, in the world's fight against this thing china defected rather than cooperated.

Before any whataboutism is mentioned, Trump also defected and made a mess out of a response, lying to the public, and hiding cases. That doesn't make either correct and neither one justifies the other's actions. Both countries are clearly very in the wrong for their COVID reactions.
It doesn't have to be lab-created if you're simply bitten by a bat.

Does anyone know whether this story (including video and photos is credible?

Release of raw patient data to international researchers from most countries would be unusual, and even if a strong case were made it would have to undergo ethics committee approval, which would take months.
I do wonder if one of the factors is simply the matter of the modern earbuds and headphones becoming so convenient that you never really need to take them out.

I used to listen to songs with a wired conventional headphone for when I wanted to isolate myself from distractions for high attention work, but range limitations like the cable connected to the PC didn't allow me to move freely, no transparency mode so I had to take them out to talk with anyone, no multipoint bluetooth so I had to take them out to answer my phone and not having cables and being light in general just means I even forget I have them on. Now with a sony 1000xm4 basically all those opportunities to have my ears rest became unnecessary.

Add to that the fact that the ANC just opens up the possibility of listening to less fatiguing and attention drawing songs, so while I may listen to lower volumes I might also listen for longer periods and with less interruptions. Not to forget services like spotify with the possibility of listening to an eternally long playlist without any thought (while with a CD or mp3 playlist it would eventually reach an end from which I'd have to stop and think if I want to continue listening).
You have a much more charitable view of those in government then I do.

The motivation you suggest may apply to some people, sometimes, in some places but certainly not all people in all governments much and perhaps even most of the time.

Self interest, corruption, the desire for power, the desire for conquest and theft and a complete disregard for their citizenry and indeed humanity in general are unfortunately all too common with those who get into the governance business.

Laser players are pretty rare, but those who have them say it's a huge issue, and the noise from dust and dirt is very distracting. It's apparently very difficult to get the records to be sufficiently clean.
There are lots of people in software with no CS or elite credentials. Are any where close to 50% of those people women?
> 78's which had plenty of space between the grooves since there was only one tune per side.

Hence the appearance of the 12" 45 rpm disco single in the 1970's, which sounded a heluva lot better than the 45, especially in the base.

It was even better to score the "promotional copies" which had no bubbles in the plastic or other flaws. I don't know if the PCs were pressed on a separate line or were just hand -picked from the normal production run, but they sure sounded good.
Original quote for reference: "but for workers in their 30s, 40s and older, learning new skills is extremely challenging (humans simply don’t learn as well or as quickly as they get older)."

Apparently the author realized his mistake and redacted this from the blog post. Kudos.
Three are more restaurants in Palo Alto/Mountain View than you can imagine. I had a very good time trying different ones out (sometimes with people from work).
The only problem is that it is not compatible with any of my other action figures. Also, I had to buy the iPlay License just to use it.

He doesn't work with any of my other action figure furniture either... I had to buy the iHouse, the iChair as well.

I tried to have him use my older iCar - but couldnt, I had to upgrade to the iCar Pro which wont even go in REVERSE unless I pay extra!

When I inquired about having him interact with Barbie, they said that Steve wouldn't work with Barbie's open play system because it would devalue my play experience with Steve.

Also, the Steve doll was 4 times as much as any of my GI Joe or Barbie dolls....

But hi turtle neck and jeans really do look good on him
Or possibly anti-eugenics, right? "Smart people are getting together to breed more smart people, and that's unfair, so let's bolster the smart people who became that way...uh, magically... (and maybe put down the smart dynasties while we're at it)." At least that's how it reads to me.

The original eeepc uses the keyboard as heatsink.
Fuchsia isn’t redundant because the literal king of the internet is putting its weight behind it, so you’re economics point doesn’t just not stand, it’s almost a fallacy.

As for the point about Fuchsia not having knowledge because they didn’t personally build Linux, that isn’t my point. What I’m saying is that they can look at what Linux (and other OS’s) have done and skip over lots of pathways that have been proven over the last three decades to be dead ends or inefficient, while mimicking those systems and conventions that are proven to work. I’m sorry but you seem to be going out of your way to ignore the fact that Fuchsia is, whether or not you want it to be or think it should or will be.
> So how do you explain everything that happened on the wealth inequality front from the 1970s up to the financial crisis of 2009?

Of course there's never a single thing that explains a complex issue, but the root of the current Fed's monetary policy goes back to Greenspan, so the poster's argument could easily be extended to that iteration of the Fed.

Also, the 1980s is when (modern) wealth inequality really started to take off. And it's much worse today.
After having lived through the lockdown in Melbourne myself, I think it's pretty unfair to the people here to suggest that the reason the cases are so low is because it's just "a big empty island", and not the result of the fairly hard lockdown that the people here had to endure.
This is happening every where, including here at HN. One of my highest upvoted comments (71) was flagged and silently removed by this corruption. Ironically, the removed comment was about censorship. I'm ready to make a change but outside of burning down our current system, I don't know what will fix it.
I remember I loved it's keyboard. I really liked feeling back then, used to type even when computer was not on :)

One generation of programmers learned programming with these, I remember schools had these computers, it was a privilege to have computers in schools back then when you think about it.
I will die on the hill that almost nobody actually needs kubernetes. You are not Netflix or Google.
It makes sense to use AWS/GCP offerings if you are already using many of their other services. Also it means you have a ton of cash to burn.

There are hundreds of thousands of companies that choose not to pay ridiculous price of AWS or not to use Amazon and Google at all - they use smaller providers, many of them manage their infrastructure themselves.

For them there is 0 reason to us CDN, DDoD protection etc from Google or Amazon. Cloudflare is one of the best choices for them. It makes sense even for AWS/Google clients that don't want to be changed millions for bandwidth like its gold or something.
This is the same path that led to The Art Of Computer Programming.

When I was taught design in the early oughts they said serif for print and sans for screens. I think it had to do with rendering at lower resolutions and small screen sizes.
If you are injecting a vaccine into the vein, you are purposely doing it wrong, with well known risks and health effects. That does not meet any standard of care. They are IM injections.

As long as you personally stay in your home and do not interact with anyone else non-socially distanced or without a mask on, and you're not a licensed to provide a service to the public, or attending a public institution, then I would say you should have the moral right not to be vaccinated for a highly contagious and moderately deadly virus.

BTW, if you catch Tuberculosis you will be forced into house arrest and the health agency will force you to zoom call for every pill you take once you are released after 3 months.

Exactly. Is a very loose and ambiguous definition.
As others have said, essentially by being the single os for a multibillion dollar pc industry for decades. I forget exactly when the hibernate api came online... 90's?... and Microsoft has a porting layer test suite as a manufacturer that you have to pass to get that little windows stamp. All done by paid professionals and spread over the cost of the large number of pcs sold.

The hal (hardware abstraction layer) is always a hard problem that takes years to get right. Write the code, write the tests, fix insane little bugs, get market momentum. Once it is solved it kinda runs itself and is a massive moat.

(Apple tried this... 95? StarTrek project, os 8?)

This collection of issues is why i run windows as a host os and above that run wsl (far better than mac's weird port of bsd + homebrew), local vms, and cloud servers.

Unless you want to talk about the difficulty that is high dpi monitors? That has taken 5 years for 'the windows community' to shake out and i don't think linux ever will. Windows is the best solution right now for this very important problem, unless you like fuzzy text fonts.

I am not a windows fanboi. Far from it. I have all the ecosystems in my house, and have professionally gone back and forth as the winds have shifted. It is amazing to me that windows has come back, credit vmware, docker, wsl, and microsoft's new openness to being a sensible first stop for developers.
Nice summary. A thought on point #2: (from a total costs perspective) is this still true considering yellow cab drivers still need to acquire, maintain, and insure their personal use vehicle?
Completely agree, money isn't the only motivating factor for continued development. But it's easy to get burned out on big projects (see TextMate 2), or move on to other projects.

With time being such a valuable resource for any developer, unless the product is a side hobby or the dev has special circumstances (rich, etc), money is a big factor in deciding what to work on.
If it's tough to fake in small groups, why not just split people into groups. For example, only people who work directly with each other can reward them. Obviously that's a little bit of an oversimplification but I don't see why such a split couldn't be made to work.
Scribd! I am seeing my email ID being published as the title for my scribd account page.

I began to copy and paste some of what you said, teaspoon, but then I just decided to respond to the whole post with, "Where the hell did that come from?"

If you avoid other entrepreneurs, then maybe you're hanging out with the wrong ones.

If you liken anyone promoting their own business to a street preacher, then perhaps you're the one missing the point.

As for me, I don't ask favors from anyone. I just build what they already need and have asked for. I love writing software and I love sharing it with those who are interested, including those next to me at Tech Breakfasts. I've sold lots of software and built lasting relationships and friendships this way.

So I thought I'd share that with OP, who seems to have a problem doing and enjoying it as much as I do. Your attitude and response does nothing to help him (or anyone for that matter).
Probably a silly objection, just like with analogous gun control, to wit: a criminal who carries a gun illegally obviously isn't being stopped by gun control laws.

Any criminal who wants revenge on a cop is not going to be deterred by a law that forbids recording his face. For that matter, he wouldn't have been deterred in any of the cited cases, where if the cop committing a crime had known he was being captured on a camera he'd have confiscated it.
No, it's worse - the whole episode is a glaring case of illteracy run wild. The original complaint and supporting documentation describes BNW and the other cited works as 'non-fiction.' The complaint about the word 'savage' appears predicated on the assumption that it has never been applied to anyone other than Native Americans. The members of the reconsideration panel seem oblivious to why the objections are so misplaced.

After being notified (via a form letter) of the decision to take it off the curriculum and her right to appeal said decision - which she does, requesting it should be removed from the required reading list for the whole school district and not just that which her daughter attends. Despite attempts by the faculty and principal to explain the meaning of the book she apparently still believes it's a work of non-fiction. Cluelessness all round...at best. At worst, abuse of process as a poor justification for a shakedown.

You can't add or remove required fields, because outdated recipients will be dangerously wrong about whether they understand the intent of a message in the revised format. At some point meeting new requirements and keeping interoperability calls for deprecating and replacing the old format, because treating everything as optional (which some Googlers apparently do, avoiding "required" completely) is almost as bad as having 2^n mostly-untested formats.
Take that, Mr. Kurzweil.

Google Grep would be awesome, but Google Find would be more useful, especially if were augmented with a rich and extensible set of semantic switches.

google find .org -type domain -owner "Gawker Media" -pagerank ">4" > ndenton.orgs.list

Would, for instance, find all .org domains registered by gawker media with a pagerank greater than 4.
Indeed. I hoped that something like what I imagined either existed or was actively being built. Until this comment, though, my faith in the medical industry was insufficient to justify the belief.
Notice he said 'I had a girlfriend', sometimes the best approach is knowing when being right is wrong.
That's a catch 22 that can be minimized or even avoided altogether. My main drobo backup is automatically versioned and backed up every 12 hours (to a single external drive, since I don't need to back up everything on my drobo). I've got older backups dating from like a week (work-related) to half a year or more old (for the important docs that don't change that I should keep around regardless...like old accounting/tax stuff) stashed around my home, online, and in a safe deposit box at my bank. And of course occasionally I test whether or not my backup is actually backing up the things I want and that I can successfully restore from it.

If I back up bad data, I have older but good data to recover from. If my drobo catastrophically fails, at the worst I've lost data that is probably not going to be difficult to replicate/replace because of how new it is. I don't have to start ripping my hair out at the idea of having lost an incredible amount of data ranging from irreplaceable photos of my life to work and more.

In the ideal case, raid should increase reliability, and they do, only for one definition of reliability. But freak accidents and poor design happen, and it's silly to rely only on a raid for reliability.
Yes, but in an article on copy elision, it doesn't really make sense to talk about small objects because it really doesn't matter if they are copied or not. Pass them by value anyways.

What are you referring to about the sorted function - that he says that the compiler isn't smart enough to optimize the copy out of a function returning function argument? His argument makes sense to me here, the caller doesn't know anything about the internals of the function, so it has to allocate separate space for the return value and the function argument, leading to at least one copy. With inline functions or whole program analysis (or some type of link time optimization) it should be smart enough to do this.
Why we quit posterous:

We were using posterous fairly often a while back, until my friend got into an argument with the posterous founder. He (my friend) had a few beers and then wrote a stupid message, basically saying that the posterous idea in general was bad (using different words :> ).

Then posterous founder replied saying he was banning my friend. We never found out if he actually followed through- because all of us (~15 guys) stopped using it completely the next day.

We, as users, have many options when choosing where to host our data, and we want services that are useful, secure, ethical, and beautiful.
