Ah, sure, I'm sort of treating the concept of "package" as being equivalent to "ports-system build formula" here. In pretty much all modern package managers, `pkgmgr install foo` can have any of N prebuilt binary versions of a package like foo-1.0.3 laying around on the package repo server, one of which might be used to satisfy the formula if they match the installation options you passed.

The non-BSD-inspired distros, rather than having a separate concept of build artifacts, tend to put the options to match in the "build" part of a package's version string—making them technically separate releases. But it does the same thing in the end.

But that's a separate thing from a distro keeping multiple forks of the package itself, with separate release cadences—which mostly only happens as a way to keep individual efforts to create releases from upstream major-versions, or backport to dead upstream major-versions, distinct from one-another.
Not with that attitude.
CMake is not a package manager or package repository, though. CMake can discover libraries and it can build your code, but that assumes you've already fetched a dependency somehow. Sure, you can use system package managers, but these are different on every platform.

I've been writing a simple video game in C++ recently, using CMake to build. I wrote a little bit of code that fetches the few libraries I need in order to have a complete/deterministic build process that works on linux/windows/mac. It lets me change versions (by specifying a new url to a source tarball). Versioned dependency management is so typical and convenient in many other languages and is such a pain in the butt with C++ because CMake is this thing that's sort of good enough. But my CMake experience doesn't compare well at all with maven, pip, gem, cargo, or even npm.
There are no words more appropriate than "evil" that are also polite enough to be used in a forum like this.
> you'd expect to see high-quality operating system kernels

The Haskell community is smaller than others but there are numerous highquality projects, including kernel/OS level projects that you don't mention:

HaLVM, Haskell Unikernels - https://github.com/GaloisInc/HaLVM

The specification model of the sel4 microkernel - https://github.com/seL4/l4v/tree/master/spec/haskell

There are many smaller examples of OS projects in Haskell, but for better examples of production systems you only have to look to areas requiring high assurance such as finance, where a number of large companies use Haskell and other functional languages. (BoA, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Standard Chartered, etc.)

It's true that there a lot of Haskell blogs focused on research level Category theory, but the concepts there don't need to be used or understood for high quality, production ready code. I'm actually not a Haskell guy, and very much of the mindset that you should use the right tool for the job, but being dismissive of languages with unique features such as being lazy by default is shortsighted.
Less aggressive than considering C-sections "preexisting conditions"
A lot of parents really, really like having kids. The ROI on having children is, for them, so self-evident that they don't really think about it. But that's not true for everyone, esp. if you were old enough to be pretty fully-formed by the time you became a father. Kids come at a huge cost. You're exhausted from dealing with them, and in the meantime you're probably not exercising, and you're eating like crap, and, inevitably, just plain getting older.

Step 1 is to reconcile your ideal of who you'll be in the future -- what job, how smart, how influential, etc. -- with the resources actually available to you now. I had to downshift considerably.

Your kids aren't going away, and you're not going to be able to sustain what you're doing now until they get old enough. You need to make a change, and soon, because if you don't you're going to end up wondering how and why you mortgaged your life to your goddamn kids.

I have three boys: 5, 8, and 10. For my first six years of having kids, every time someone told me to "enjoy them while you can" I wanted to punch that person in the throat. I knew they were right, but there are days when that's just not even in the realm of possibility.

There are a lot of parents who are tired, and sick of walking on dropped cereal, and miss being able to pick an actual restaurant that serves actual grown-up food. But there's also a huge societal more to not talk about it, or to aways end with something like, "But it's so worth it," or "It's the hardest job I've ever loved," especially for women. But while it's almost certainly "worth it" for the majority of parents the majority of the time, there are going to be days when it's just NOT.

The cliché is that "The years are short, but the days are long." It's true. In hindsight, the fact that I have a ten-year-old seems insane -- how could it have been ten years? What the hell have I been doing for the last decade? Do I even remember life before kids -- what it was like to just have a wife, to set my own schedule?

At the same time, every night at 6:30pm I find myself asking, "How can it only be 6:30?"

I spent a good number of years just basically resenting the crap out of my boys, which is about as healthy as you might guess. I hated dealing with my kids, hating myself for hating dealing with my kids, and knew I'd hate myself later for not enjoying the young-kid experience while I could. I, my kids, and my wife all suffered.

Now I've got therapy and some drugs and a CPAP, and things are better. Not every day, but most days. Well, many days.

Kids completely take over your life, at least for a while, and it's almost impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Your job -- your JOB -- is to figure out how to enjoy them now so that the sacrifices are worth it to you.
The phrase "Having kids changes everything" is true.

I have 3 kids (8, 4 and 2). When I reflect on the past 8 years my most enjoyable experiences have been first with the kids, wife and friends.

I took steps to work from home after my first child was born. This has allowed me to work at a high demand start up and spend quality time with my family. Now I get to take "wrestle breaks." Best 20 minutes of my day.

Kids coupled with dieing grandparents help you to think about the big picture. I will not be one of those people on their deathbed wishing I spent more time with my family. Know what you have before you lose it.
Here's a different perspective: if the government is involved in paying for your healthcare, that gives voters a say in how you live your life. Taking too many risks? Like wine or soft drinks a bit too much? Maybe you enjoy rock climbing, or horse riding, or skiing, or some other dangerous activity? Well, maybe I don't want to pay for your risks, and I get to call you a drunk, fat and lazy, or foolhardy and reckless, needing more regulation and laws to keep you in your place - and your health costs low. We'll ban tasty food, nice drinks, and any activities that are more than a standard deviation or two out of the normal risk profile. We'll have a nice gentle bland life mapped out for you with low health costs.

IMO the biggest elephant in the room is rationing. We can't give infinite healthcare to everybody for all their lives, particularly in very old age. We need to make hard trade-offs. In a free market system, the rationing is done by affordability and price levels: we choose who's more worthy of living longer by how much capital they've accumulated. In a more centralized system, we might choose to pay for interventions based on how much extra "life" they give, and ration by selecting a threshold for how much we pay for extra life year - this is how the UK NHS works, where life year is a QALY, quality-adjusted life year. But anything that doesn't address this elephant in the room, and appeals to emotions about the poor, sick, elderly, dying because they can't afford the treatment they need without considering who exactly we're going to leave to die and why, because we can't all be each other's caregivers for life, is intellectually bankrupt.

I have no pre-existing health problems (that I know of) and I get no government subsidies. The scorecard lists people like me as winners in the GOP health care bill.

However, I think, most of us will lose from this bill, because we'll live in a country that is less fair

* less fair (if you believe that a market-based approach to healthcare is unfair to people who are born with - or acquire - serious health problems, aka pre-existing conditions ...... and if you believe that poor people should get subsidies to let them get affordable healthcare)
Please don't backpedal by going into the definition of the word. The rhetorical value of "unelected" was to paint the EU and Federal Reserve as unrepresentative.

Hell, by your logic, the U.S. Senate before the 20th Century wasn't elected because they were elected by state legislatures instead of popular elections.
So the bankruptcy is removed from your report after 7 years. It is really simple to get credit after a bankruptcy because you have no debt. Stupid I know.

Halo was originally going to launch on the Mac, had Microsoft not bought Bungie to give the Xbox a decent launch title. It is strange to hear this article describe how Halo showed how a console shooter could be as good or better than a PC, when the game might never have reached a console at all.
> Try to get rid of the commute. That's two wasted hours every day.

I'm not OP, but I have a ~45 minute commute in New York city on the subway. It's one of the places where I can actually relax, read a book, listen to a podcast, and nobody needs me for anything.

(I'd loathe it if I had to drive, though.)
The thousands I've paid because of the individual mandate sure didn't help my middle class status.

People who drive their cars recklessly and who speed pay higher auto insurance premiums. People who choose poor lifestyle behaviors (smoking, drinking daily Cokes, not exercising, drug use) were subsidized by those who "drove safely." Only with smoking were plans permitted to charge more (50%), but it was unverified and many plans did not offer different rates for smokers.
Same boat. Here's me:

1. My side project is my life. I don't use the computer at all outside of work. I play with the kids, do stuff around the house, spend time with my wife.
2. I moved to being remote full time after killing myself commuting in SoCal. My enjoyment of life has increased tremendously.
3. Like others have said, I don't waste any time. I read Twitter/HN when I'm taking a 15 break in the morning and in the afternoon, but otherwise I work when at work.
4. I pick up new technologies while at work. Part of why we are paid so much is we have to stay on top of what is the latest and greatest best practices. This is like Doctors reading medical journals for their particular area of practice.

Overall, you don't get to do your kids over again. If you miss something it is gone. There is no undo/redo cycle. Everything else for me is secondary.
What data?

I dunno, maybe have a look at, you know, the actual report (as opposed to the glossy summarization attempted CNBC article)? Sounds like you're pretty well settled on the idea that their findings have got to be FUD, no matter what the data actually say, though (being as you've just admitted that you've haven't actually looked at their data). So there's probably no need for you to bother.
I was a network engineer for 2.5 years, started out right from college. Recently went to two interviews, devops and full stack engineer and got offers from both. This was in Stockholm.
I perform very highly at work (pun intended) and have not seen continuous daily usage over the past ten years hamper my career or health in the same way drinking for the same amount of time would have caused (I drink maybe once every few months, and only in social situations, never alone). A lot of people where I work get high as well, roughly 3 out of every 4 engineers or so. This is probably not an industry average or even close to it but it is "Stoners At Work" for sure because this is the California culture, and as far as I can tell, California still produces some of the best tech products and tech teams on Earth and will continue to do so in spite of legalization. I think it might even be helping people with mental health issues, especially those dealing with severe stress and the quiet depression that is so pervasive in the tech industry.

The zone I get into when I code high is amazing. It feels like I'm Da Vinci re-incarnate, deeply thinking about my work. I seem to be able to piece things from long term memory better (although I will admit that short-term memory and situational awareness is severely hampered). It also takes away the clarity of sobriety but the level of concentration and depth of thought it grants your imagination is well worth it, and of course, is only temporary. It does amplify even the smallest instinct of hunger so I tend to do it after I eat, not before.

I also prefer to use it post-workout as it relaxes my muscles much better than anything else outside of a warm jacuzzi. I'm guessing the inflammatory response from the body also helps with recovery soon after a high-intensity workout. I haven't looked at that aspect too deeply yet, I just know what my body tells me. The high itself is also amplified post-workout so you actually need to consume less to get the same effect as at rest.

These are my experiences, not science, but I'm guessing many others might share similar experiences. Note that I do not smoke marijuana, only vaporize it. Smoking in general is just bad internally and externally so I believe vaporizing or ingestion are the best methods.
Republicans are trying to transfer wealth from the sick and poor to the rich and well. Aggressiveness is going to be a natural response to that.
That's the point: he gets it even if he does not need it and if it is a negligible amount of his own personal income/fortune.

Universal means just that: everyone gets it. No matter if they need it or not. Maybe you could read up something about the Alaska Fund Dividend to get an idea of how this is supposed to work in practice (the AFD is of course limited to Alaska, and way lower than the suggested 12000 USD target, but still gives an idea of how it is regulated and paid out in practice).
this is awesome we need the maven of cpp
Funny, I'm reminded of my HP Ipaq back in 2005 or so. 800mhz smartphone with a stylus, wifi, running Windows CE.

It struck me as a portable computer, with "cellphone" functionality added as an almost afterthought.

Guess that's still the case if you think about it.

I'm not arguing against the existence of all IP rights. I just think some of the inclusions and durations are wrong. I don't know why you're trying to strawman me into being anti-property and making this so personal. Would you be this rude if I was insisting on 28 years, the original limit? You act like the current copyright lengths are objectively correct, and anyone who disagrees is deluding themselves. Why? And for the record I actually don't want these starcraft files, if that information can let you see past the strawman you've made of me.
>My skepticism comes less from a hatred of "Strong AI" and more from the fact that it has been promised over and over again with no results to show for it.

Could that just be because Strong AI is much, much more difficult to achieve than Weak AI? And not that it is less valuable an end to pursue than Weak AI?

In other words, does the value of one vs. the other necessarily correlate to our previous success in one vs. the other?
I looked through the task manager of a corporate issued laptop and saw tasks belonging to very similar companies, as part of the disk image IT makes.

The corporation likely has a license for the software, as well as conditions for all their employees to expect monitoring.

A formalized bug bounty program would enable the software producer to have secure software.

Why exactly is HackerOne drawing a distinction with this software producer? I read the whole article and still miss what the controversy with this producer is.

Is all monitoring software now banned from HackerOne under the guise of a moral high ground HackerOne just created?

Double check which software you get with which device. Not being an apple fanboy, I have to admit: At least you know what you get when buying an Iphone.

I don't understand why some people compare a $650 iPhone 7 with cheap phones loaded with some half-assed vendor fork of Android?

If you wanted stock Android, you should have bought a $650 Pixel phone.

That seems a little unfair. I'd say they're more insulated than stupid. But when people inside their bubble start losing subsidies and getting hammered with the true cost of coverage, that might be enough to break through to some of them.
Regardless, attacking entire groups of people because elitists are doing so is childish and doesn't help the conversation.

Because my rank would be (2), (6), (1) and (7) - and (6) and (1) are damn close, since we both need (1) to maintain (6).
> the basic philosophy that government should not be involved in funding health care for citizens

Why not just privatize the police, the fire department, the military, the national highway system, everything? Why is helping sick people so different from helping pay people to put out fires for homes that don't belong to you?
Not really, no. It's been an explicit strategic point of the Republican party since the days of Nixon to use the language of evangelical Christianity to codify racist othering as a tactic to get people of lower economic strata to vote for politicians primarily interested in promoting policies which serve to increase economic inequality. This is more of the same, at a higher intensity.
I think the cynical and only correct interpretation of this bill is that Republicans ultimate priority is to cut health provisions for largely sicker, older, and poorer Americans in order is to cut taxes for households with incomes above $200k via a budget reconciliation process that requires less than 60 votes in the senate.

The Republican public campaign against ACA/Obamacare is a fraud masquerading as a campaign against all of the things people don't like about the ACA, which is its high premiums and deductibles, and incomplete networks. In fact this bill will literately deliver even higher premiums, higher deductibles, and more restrictive networks all to allow Paul Ryan to cut taxes without getting the Senate to press the nuclear button on the last vestiges of the filibuster.

Yes, it is. If you don't get this, you'll be a lousy C++ programmer.
I still don't understand the strong reactions Soylent gets on either side. There's plenty to criticize and to like but reactions to it cluster around it being the end of the world or solution to all your problems.

If you have a stream of them going, you can relay the message back through the other ships, until it reaches the origin.

In theory, you can relay messages within any power budget, it's only a matter of reducing the distance between ships.

I apologize for using "chemicals" rather than using correct terms. I was just using it as a shorthand for something grown vs something made.

I wonder Whether this will take 4 years to implement at billions of dollars of taxpayers cost. Then we switch presidents and the cycle begins again.

It kinda makes sense for me, it increases the effective margin on services, so it could make an area that would otherwise be not cost effective for service, cost effective. Telcos only make expansions for areas that can generate an effective rate of return, if the density required to make a rate of return drops a wider area can be serviced.

I'm optimistic but not hopeful - we didn't have these kinds of services long enough to see if they would move the needle.. but I strongly suspect that they wouldn't, and would just line the pockets of the incumbent telcos.

For things like utilities I'm a big big big believer in regulated monopolies. It makes no sense from a cost perspective to have duplicated facilities rather than rate of return based financing.. and if you want universal access, you need that cross subsidization that was done before divestiture (high margin services subsidized low margin ones to ensure universal access).

In the end, the only way to have universal service is to have some sort of cross subsidization either from higher margin services the telco also sells, or from an external entity.
You're assuming writing is a highly linear process, which has pretty much never been the case. When dictating memos was a thing, even that took practice. Anything more complex has always involved huge amounts of cutting and pasting--whether literally or digitally.

Given good enough voice recognition and good enough touch interfaces that work in concert (and ignoring the many situations where speaking is an issue), it's possible. But it's not an easy path.
That argument still makes no sense to me. How does skimming off of the top of trades make the market more liquid? It's not like they're offering any new product for sale. If a market is moving slowly all they do is artificially inflate the number of transactions without increasing liquidity.

HFT is just abusing an information advantage to skim off of the market. Because they have a slightly more accurate view of the market, they can front run trades and make money. That's all it is. There is no benefit to the seller, to the buyer, or to the market. It's pure parasitism.
Forget about developing and side projects. How do people keep up with learning new things and staying on top of things. Its very hard to learn new tools, frameworks or even stay current in 30min/night, and when youre not exhausted.
Agreed. HN is usually more thoughtful and evenhanded than not, but these comments are horrible so far. I can have this sort of discussion on facebook.
Depends. Probably the type of thing worth experimenting with. Could be a lever for affecting population growth rates, useful for aging populations.

If we simultaneously voucherized education, I'd expect probably a couple grand for infants and toddlers, and maybe 8k total for school aged children, to be spent by the child's guardians?
