That makes sense, and I agree. That said, it does seem extremely jarring if one doesn't know the context.
This article is entirely written from the POV of the complainants though, and I'd note that backpage's actual shutdown of that section was due to repeated bad faith attacks from law enforcement, not due to the incident in question.

Maybe backpage fumbled handling it, but their track record for helping in such cases is rather better than the article implies. See also, for example, https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/jan/10/backpage-adu... where opinions are divided and https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/backpage-sex-workers... which suggests backpage is actually a tool for supporting workers.

Assuming backpage is exactly as bad as a single lawsuit against them claims is not, IMO, a particularly good way to form an opinion.
I'm pretty sure that's a problem, but not THE problem.

I use this [1] -- it's great. I have it set to delete any cookies not on the whitelist 30 minutes after last set. That way I can log into a site that's not on the whitelist and do something and after I've stopped using for 30 mins I'm logged out and cookies deleted. However - it's not perfect. It doesn't delete local storage, local databases, or Flash™ storage. There is a nest of Chromium issues [2] needed to be resolved to make this work. It looks like the most recent related work was done Sep 2016 [3] so maybe there's some hope, even though the issues have been open for 5+ years. Of course I have the option of working on it myself but having looked at the 5-10 related issues I think it would take quite some time to develop an understanding of all the APIs.

"Why does namespace need explicit "cpp_" prefix?"
I get used to namespace by the library name for each library I build. I believe it does make sense, I think here the issue is maybe more about the library name itself.
As other people suggested, it is still possible to create an alias for this namespace

"Why do classes inside "cpp_redis" namespace still have "redis_" prefix?"
I 100% agree and I think I will change that!
It is also inconsistent as I got a `redis_client` class but at the same time a `future_client` without redis_prefix.
I definitely makes more sense to name it only redis and I'll make that change later on:)

Thanks foryour feedback though :)
Can you describe your regimen, starting/ending weight, exercise habits, and general health status? I've considered not eating one day a week for general health reasons, but I am very thin, and it is hard for me to maintain weight even with 3 meals per day on a healthy diet.
Now that makes sense. The article is mostly generic new-economy blathering.

We'll know in a few months if Tesla will be a success. For their Model 3, Tesla has to transition from being a high-margin low-volume manufacturer to a low-margin high-volume manufacturer. That's very tough. Few companies succeed at that.

Already, the price of the Model 3 has crept up. The base vehicle is supposed to sell for $35K, but in practice most models will be around $45K with upgrades. Maybe higher. Overpriced upgrades are where the profit comes from in automotive. That may be how Tesla escapes fighting it out on cost with Chevy and Toyota.
> BP doesn't do anything that couldn't be facilitated by a P2P system.

Indeed.

> If someone built a P2P classifieds app - should the developer be responsible for everything listed?

No, but that is not the case here. I don't see how you could monetize a p2p system so that the creator of the software would profit of it but would not have a way to shut down illegal content, either requires some central system.

People should be more serious about nutrition. It's impossible to track and test nutrients if you're not disciplined about it.

Ideally, you would only eat what you (or a coach, or an app) planned to eat. Most people should have a nutrition routine where they eat the same thing every day or week. Eating for pleasure should be the exception, not the norm. Tracking only the 5% of food that's not part of your routine would be a lot easier (especially if packaged and provides a bar code).

You mean like Federalism?
I have.

Given the article's blatantly a hit piece, and doesn't offer a second side to the story whatsoever, I'm unwilling to assume that that's a complete and accurate rendition of what happened.
Actually I should have written L(parameters|data), I'm sorry for the confusion. Which is equal, for a given value of data and parameters, to P(data|parameters). But the likelihood function is not a function of the data (with the parameters fixed), it is a function of the parameters (with the data fixed). Its "meaning" is not a probability distribution of different outcomes given the hypothesis. But I maybe misinterpreted your comment.
True, although most C libraries ought to use those features in the implementation files and not the headers if they want to be used widely.

And even if some things leak into the headers they might be accepted by compiler extensions.

But yes, in general if a c library's headers are hostile to cross-language usage then using it from c++ won't be trivial.

This reminds me of the many reasonable-sounding articles in the late 1990's that rationalized the sky-high valuations of dot-coms. For example:

A few months after these articles were published, the stock market crashed... and it took the better part of two decades to recover.
I'm beginning to suspect that when I'm being compared to the competition in the market, hirers are going with the safer bets (CS degrees, internships, previous corporate experience).

If this were true, you wouldn't make it to the interview. How did you think you did during these interviews? If you thought it went well, but they passed, maybe it's just a matter of cultural fit. Keep trying and you'll find something.
AMP plugins are (supposedly) designed to be the fastest/lightweight/user-friendly implementation of a specific functionality.

Yes, if all you consider by "bloat" is how many kilobytes of javascript you have on the page, AMP is not doing well. This is a crucial mistake in this post. In reality "bloat" is more than that. It also refers to whether there's active javascript slowing the browser down, whether resources are cached etc.

The purpose of having these small plugins that enable functionality is that they are all individually cached by your browser for a good amount of time. Any Google user would have them cached as they are all using the same reference that any other AMP page would. This is unlike other "bloat" where resources are fragmented and come from any number of sources that users probably haven't hit before. In addition these JS resources wouldn't have been written for a specific experience - which AMP is
I completely agree. Unfortunately, so many semiconductor vendors are going this way (for ICs) as well.

For example, there are so many parts on the Texas Instruments web site for which you can not get any support, unless you are a heavy volume customer. They even turned some of their product forums to "read-only". You can't even post a public question anymore.

Similarly, Xilinx had an official support channel (Webcase). A few years ago, they made to decision to only have that support channel open to their Tier 1 (or whatever they call them) customers. We can no longer ask for direct support from Xilinx with the money we spend on their chips (~100K USD worth of FPGAs) every year.

... and don't get me started on Qualcomm.
You could argue that it's better to make the function; the compiler will probably inline it if it's only used once, and it helps avoid having the logic duplicated if it's needed again (or by lazy copy/paste programmers).
Heh, in my experience most of new england geographically feels that way about Boston. People can feel disillusioned, alienated, and isolated at any level. There's no natural state size.
And yet somehow I see stories in the media about the working poor, coal communities, rural medicaid recipients, etc, pretty much every single day.
May be you should try to know the companies where you want to be hired and adapt your proposal for each of them. For example:

- A big company would prefer to play safe, no degree, no job (similar to "nobody will be fired for buying IBM").

- A startup has certainly totaly unreasonable expectations (too new in HR...)

- Are you assertive/ambitious enough? HR might be suspicious , you know everybody lies during interviews... I have seen CVs proposed by subcontractors that were redacted and look at the current inflation in qualifiers "extraordinary coder" etc...
A few years ago I had some downtime and nothing going on, so I decided to try a water fast for three days as a sort of detox/cleanse after doing some research.

The first 24-36 hours were definitely the toughest, but then the hunger feeling just went away. It was sort of liberating in a sense that I didn't feel "dependent" on food for those three days; the key being to stay plenty hydrated. However, if you're currently working or going to school, I wouldn't recommend it. Save it for a time where you're mentally ready to take on that challenge. Coupled with low-stress and lots of rest, the results were pretty remarkable.

And from the article and science standpoint of it, it makes sense; the less your body has to spend time digesting food (say every couple hours with snacks/meals), the more your immune system can work and more time for the body to naturally repair itself. This is also why I try to avoid eating late at night.
You're saying, from California, that Texas has the overwhelming desire to legislate everything?

Private car transportation is also massively subsidized. Near my neighbourhood, they are rebuilding a highway exchange for more than 3.6 B$CAD (2.7 USD). A few blocks from there, they have to rebuild a bridge, another 4.2 B$CAD. It's not even old infra. It was built in the 60s, but it didn't last (harsh winters, bad concrete, too much traffic).

You can ask said email/sms/whatever. If the communication matters, you should have them anyway. If not, then those persons are not that important.

> There's a large number of people on Facebook that I interact with that I don't have email / sms / whatever for.

There you go ! Here is one of the other reasons that I stated before. Not the "those people I can only reach through facebook" bullshit.

That's not just "AST transform system", Sweet.js provides a way to extend grammar with new productions. That allows to introduce new syntax constructs.

I'm a non-native English speaker who have been learning and speaking English professionally for 8 years and I had no problems reading BBC or CNN. However, this article was just beyond me. I struggle to understand many long and convoluted sentence with words that I had never seen before.

The linux kernel USB API has a few functions that take a bunch of arguments. For example:

int usb_control_msg(struct usb_device * dev, unsigned int pipe, __u8 request, __u8 requesttype, __u16 value, __u16 index, void * data, __u16 size, int timeout);

So it is kind of hard to avoid going over the limit.

What we end up doing is break each argument into one line, like this (I hope the formatting comes out all right):

int res = usb_control_msg(

dev,

usb_sndctrlpipe(dev, 0),

0x41,

...

);

It's not so much of an eye-sore.
Distracted driving was already a crime in Texas. So a texting law is technically redundant. People want feel-good headline friendly laws, not actual enforcement of the laws that already exist.
We could also give incentives to prisoners for participating in health related studies. It gets a really bad wrap because of historical abuses, but it could really be a win/win.

All the prisoners would need to be separated and lose access to the commissary. They would probably be willing to trade their commissary for access to an XBox in their cell or something similar.

Then we can control exactly what they eat, and measure the effects of a calorie surplus or deficit over time. We could even give prisoners the same amount of calories but different macros, to finally prove the effects of a long term ketogenic diet are different than just calorie restriction.

The food would have to be more palatable than what they receive now, and they would have to agree to consume 100% of it and not try and trade with other prisoners. This probably involves a guard who watches them eat in their cells. It would be costly, but not nearly as expensive as the controlled environment studies in a hospital (metabolic wards) that Gary Taubes has done before.
Julia is really going to explode once it hits 1.0 status. I feel like that's the main thing holding people back from contributing to the library ecosystem.

Hi,

I do use git tags but I also include version numbers in my commit messages so that I can easily determine in which version a given commit was published.
I find it pretty useful. I know some people prefer to create a dev branch, then squash merge, but sometimes you got multiple features and I feel it is more convenient to separate them into multiple commits that will belongs to the same release.
Do you have some other suggestions, I would be interested :)

Concerning epoll/poll, the networking part was first based on it.
However, the poll implementation on windows is buggy and thus it is more advised to use select on windows apparently... So to keep consistency between unix and windows versions, I decided to switch back to select for both platform for now.
I'm planning to switch back to poll for unix and look at WSAEventSelect.

I also looked at IOCP and it is really interesting.
However, it is pretty hard to implement a portable library that uses select/poll under unix but IOCP on windows as the implementation is pretty different. There are some ways, but the way I designed the networking part does not make it possible without changing completely the design on one platform
You are completely mischaracterizing qubex's point. The objection is not that you are pointing out a specific statement is victim blaming, it's that you are painting an entire topic as "off limits" by trying to label anyone who brings up the topic, however respectfully and with a view toward future prevention, as a "victim blamer."

Hacker News is one of the last places in the internet where I think there is (comparatively) a minimum of tribalism in discourse. What qubex and I are pushing back against is the idea is branding anyone who brings up this topic (or any topic, really) as essentially "the enemy" regardless of their intent.
My point is not performance but that a function used only once is likely just contributing to one conceptual block of code. But now it's artificially divided up and one has to jump around to understand that code as a whole. There are exceptions of course but blindly adding functions to avoid indenting is probably going to lead to a harder to follow solution.
Evan Smith, of the Texas Tribune, has closely followed thirteen legislative sessions. He noted that, even as Dan Patrick and his Republican allies slashed government services, they allocated eight hundred million dollars for border security. “White people are scared of change, believing that what they have is being taken away from them by people they consider unworthy,” he told me. “But all they’re doing is poking a bear with a stick. In 2004, the Anglo population in Texas became a minority. The last majority-Anglo high-school class in Texas graduated in 2014. There will never be another. The reality is, it’s all over for the Anglos.”

Texas leads the nation in Latino population growth.

For Wu, the sanctuary-cities bill was the natural culmination of the “bigoted, racist mentality” that has emerged in Texas, which he calls the epicenter of the Tea Party. “Trump is simply the most visible manifestation of that mentality,” he told me. “It’s been percolating up in the Republican Party for the past decade.”

I find the way this piece is written really emblematic of the sort of two-faced and bad faith style for which our urban elites are becoming infamous. We have a number of things going on in the article, but part of the core point is stated only partially, which is that due to mass immigration the demographics of Texas are rapidly changing to "majority-minority" in such a way as to almost guarantee Democratic victory in the near future.

And yet at the same time, the causes of this rapid demographic change are just barely hinted at, and mainly to not-so-subtly suggest anyone who opposes the demographic change or wants to enact policy measures to try to stop the trend is simply backwards, bigoted and naive to political realities.

Trump is president, the GOP is currently ascendent, the political divide in the country is about as bad as it's ever been and getting worse, and the New Yorker is seemingly clueless to the way it's perceived by much of the country when it puts out a barely read-between-the-lines article whose message is: we will replace your people via mass immigration and you dumb hicks aren't going to stop it.

If this becomes a country where saying "it’s all over for the Anglos" is normalized or even celebrated among urban elites, I seriously worry about our future for any kind of political peace.
Are there any particular foods you avoid or ones that you eat more? Fruits for example, are you eating more or less of those? How many times a day do you eat and which meal do you skip? I'd like to hear more usable info about this if you don't mind me asking.
I think abbreviations make sense if the abbreviation is better known than the full name, or if it's standard jargon in the problem domain, or it's used so frequently in the program that it can be considered a convention. But using abbreviations just to save some typing makes life difficult for newcomers to a project and can be a source of bugs.

Intermittent fasting does not necessarily entail calorie restriction. However, if low calorie diets work one mechanism is probably autophagy, and intermittent fasting with much more moderate calorie restriction (or without calorie restriction) will also stimulate autophagy. So one could potentially get some of the benefits of calorie restriction while avoiding some of the problems.

All this said, fasting is an extra stressor on the body, I think... something to be aware of.

Autophagy can also be achieved by limiting protein over a certain time window, and some have advocated this as a likely preventative for diseases like Parkinson's and Alzehiemer's, involving "plaques" that are normally cleaned up during authophagy.
Guess it wasn't time for the Caterpillar yet! Will try submitting again in a few months... :)
I heard these days that New Yorker is the magazine of the "illuminated" liberal Americans. I guess this image caption proves it: "Texas is as politically divided as the rest of the U.S., but a recurrent crop of crackpots and ideologues has fed its reputation for proud know-nothingism and retrograde thinking."
> but really, do you honestly think that everything is fine with the way labor, especially on the low income end, is being treated?

I never said it was perfect, but I don't think it is anything to complain about in most cases either. Obviously in some cases minimum wage workers are exploited (and workers at different income levels too) but I think it is a mistake to say that there is a huge systemic problem. There is definitely an inequality problem, but I don't think there is a huge problem with the minimum wage jobs themselves.

> all of your friends working minimum wage jobs had 0 work experience? how old are you? 14?

OK maybe I should reword what I said. Everyone I know without experience who tried to get a minimum wage job, got one without an issue as far as I know. I don't know why that is surprising though, places like grocery stores and fast food have lots of turnover, if you apply to a tonne of those places eventually you will likely get to the top of the pile. That's not always the case of course, but in my experience it has been since I live in a decent area.
