You took my post as saying "all systems code should be written in C and that should always stay that way because people don't make mistakes". However, that is not at all what I said (also see other replies).

What I said was that one should not blindly make the opposite (false) reverse assumptions, which are that "code should not be written in C/C++ because they are 'unsafe'" or "all code written in 'safe' languages is 'safe'" (both for a hand-wavy definition of safe). The point that I tried to make was that if you do not have a good understanding of C++, you're probably not qualified to comment on the matter of some alternative being safer/better than it or not. And also that just blindly repeating other's opinions is not a path to understanding in this case.

I realize that the linked article didn't say or do that, but my comment was clearly not directed at the author of the post, but at the community of this forum (just look around in this thread to find some of the group-think I'm referring to).
the political claims have always been silly. They support small tiny government except for the big expansive military. They want big government out of people's lives except for what they consume and do in the bedroom.
> None of the web style solutions seem to be suitable for a keyboard based (tabbing style) grid to represent an itemized billing.

I suggest you to build your own keyboard listener extension, frontend frameworks are don't really have built in support for this since it's too specific. You can very easily listen to all keyboard events with vanilla JS and trigger actions accordingly.

Take a look at Angular 4, it has all the event handlers you need in the templates/view modules.
https://coursetro.com/posts/code/59/Angular-4-Event-Binding

Angular is more like a full feature framework with some enterprise feel to it.

If you want a modular system with craftmanship level attention to detail (you can build your stack how you like it), then try React or Vue.js.
so how do they think this will prevent it? cannot children just borrow the numbers from their parents cards? as long as no charge is made they should be safe.

now it would get very interesting if any card used for verification was in turn required to send a letter to the card holder about such verification.

still the requirements seem more lenient than what some online game (think MMO) services require when they request proof of identify to secure ownership of an account

Back in last year's HotChips conference Oracle spent a fair bit of time talking up new hardware capabilities targeting databases and their new ISA extensions that support it. It seems to me that this might be a good fit for some of the things it seems like Hobbes might well suited for. So I wonder if you guys spent any time thinking about that (or any ISA beyond x86).

Yeah, also the same for Turkey under the dictatorship of Erdoğan. Internet there is amazingly robust. They also iterate among beautiful blocked page designs for artistic freedom: https://www.google.com/search?q=eri%C5%9Fim+engellenmi%C5%9F...

Back when this craziness started, they had even blocked the sites giving STI information because they had "sex" in them. Not sure how it is right now.

I do not lift, but in order to stay in shape, I trick myself by riding my bike to work everyday, 4-5 days a week. Work is about 2 miles away. So riding there and riding back is 4 miles a day total. I also try to walk around the building at least 2-3 times per shift.

During the summer, I try to swim 2-3 times a week for 20 minutes a day.

As far as my diet goes, I normally only eat once per day, which is a big lunch, followed by a snack or two later on, usually a handful of almonds or almond butter or something like that. My diet is high fat, moderate protein, and low carb. It has helped me maintain a comfortable weight for the past 2 years.

In my best years of working out, I managed to lose over 80 pounds, though I have put back on about 15 pounds again, but I do look more bulk than I did. Truth of the matter is, I am lazy. I have no desire to go to a gym or lift. So I have to do things to make myself work out. I guess I'd rather be coding than working out.
Great, but that most certainly does not work at all companies.

The last company I worked for unequivocally treated their non-management employees like garbage. The company basically had the same management for 10 years prior, with a few "loyal" employees promoted to manager along the way. By "loyal" I mean that they were willing to sell anyone out to advance their own careers.

If the company even caught wind you were looking elsewhere, your life would become a living hell. Get ready for extra hours (Salaried, no extra pay), weekend work, Holiday work, getting your vacation time denied because they are "too busy", etc. Pretty hard to find a job when your employer is making you physically ill from stress.

In the meantime, the moment they catch wind of you looking elsewhere they start bringing in new candidates. Easy to fill those Bachelors-level positions after all, lots of recent college grads willing to not have a life in lieu of work, and they will probably want less money than you too!

I saw entire teams of 10+ people replaced within a year, then again, having to retrain their own replacements. The company even outsourced our work to Malaysia and we were warned not to tell our clients about it or we could face termination.

The only way to survive in corporate America nowadays is to be a cutthroat scumbag, no thanks.
Why China Censors Banned Winnie the Pooh
I understand this is unpopular on HN and I don't think this is the right approach either but what is the solution? Or do you think there's no problem at all? I think it is a potential problem where some young people don't realize that some fairly disgusting and extreme sex acts are not the norm and start dating thinking that is what you do instead of loving someone, that would cause them serious issues in developing relationships.
I get maybe 7-10 per week on my mobile.
Actually, the data on the magnetic stripe was in plaintext. The chip has a digitally signed copy of that data. This allows the bank to authenticate the card as valid and eliminates attacks where a fake card is made with stolen data put onto the stripe.

This does nothing for online payments but very effectively curbs fraudulent card present transactions.
I'm not sure that analogy holds; the Internet is just such a different thing from cinemas. Still, I'm sure no-one actually has a problem with the concept of preventing under-18s from watching porn online, it's the implementation that's the tricky bit. For example, no-one has a problem with cinema restrictions, but they might do if you had to hand over credit card details to watch a film, and if it were still trivially easy for under-18s to sneak into the cinema.
> If you think ads don't work in you it means they are doing a great job in lying to you and deceiving. Ads and marketing are more subtle than you can imagine.

I'm aware ads influence everyone in some form, I just don't think the influence is so strong to me that it's going to make me do anything majorly against my best interests.

> Some example: * You don't need to change toothbrush every 6 months, that's BS. Toothbrushes are plastic they are going to last hundreds of year more after we are all dead. * You don't need to put so much toothpaste on your toothbrush, it was Colgate ads that started showing people putting a fat and thick long toothpaste on toothbrushes to encourage more use/consuming of toothpaste. * The alkasetzer guys wanted to double sells, what did they do started showing commercials of people throwing 2 tablets instead of one. * Also shampoo and hairproducts, they started showing people putting a ton of shampoo in their hands and making bubbles in their head. Actually you don't need that much shampoo.

My issue with these examples are 1. these kinds of products are cheap and 2. using a bit more than you need isn't likely to have negative impacts, so therefore I'm not going to dedicate a lot of time into researching these things. For expensive and important products (e.g. laptop, phone, mortgage, anything to do with health) I'm going to treat ads as a very bias source and look for more objective sources.
The key part of this is whole thing is the mechanism of enforcement - at the ISP. To do this UK ISPs will need increased government controlled infrastructure operating within their ISP core networks. This to me sounds like post Brexit GCHQ wants to significantly increase the amount of access and control it has to all UK web browsing traffic...
It is true that in a purely rational system, there would be no pay gap (controlling for ability and impact).

>All sites need to implement a nag screen for unknown users

It wasn't all sites though, it was just sites that use third-party tracking and things like that, you didn't need a nag screen if the cookie was part of the functionality of the site eg a website with a login screen[1].

Everyone just copied everyone else with adding a nag screen for all sites because nobody actually read the rules.

Australia has ad free tv too, and radio stations and all the same kinds of initiatives as the BBC (admittedly the tv is terrible by comparison to the BBC so) called the ABC.

there are no TV licenses in Australia though.. its just included in your tax which is how it should be here in the UK. Paying people to police the TV license is absolutely retarded

Nice, but why don't you convert all those huge GIFs to HTML5 videos using e.g. Gfycat? Animated GIFs are loading very slowly and wasting my precious data plan.
I don't think anyone would confuse the sex acts in porn with love in the real world. You may be right about the expectations going into the first sexual relationships. But the youngsters find out soon enough that it's not normal what you see in porn when their spouses tell them they don't want to do these things.

TL;DR: It's a non-problem
Maybe the way to counter that is with healthy, full throated and sex positive sex education? Instead of trying to bury or hide the "bad" information counter it with lots and lots of good information? Just a thought.

> one needs to be entirely "stop energy" (to take a nice phrasing from a now dead comment).

I'm sorry that comment got down modded. In fact, I think/hope I voted it up.

One of the interesting tensions this dialog has surfaced (at least for me) is the relationship between volunteerism and the way outsiders interact with the volunteer community. More than a few people effectively suggested my comment shouldn't have been made. While I do agree with the need to protect contributors from a lot of what they have to put up with, I'm not sure I'd ring fence those communities quite that securely.

Put another way, if my comment really does fall into a class of those that shouldn't have been made, what are the 'rules' for outsiders engaging open source (or other volunteer) communities?

> Fortunately, your top level comment was taken in good faith

Agreed. But after 30 years on the net, it still surprises me how many people just automatically default to whatever the 'bad faith' interpretation might be. We all read what we read in our own context, and this suggests to me that, for many of us, that context is rather angry and upset.
This is the question I've been asking as well, especially since London and the Soho exists.
My wife studied psychology recently, and yes, it's a huge problem. There really are teenagers who think that gang bangs are the norm, and that they have to participate. I thought she was joking when my wife told me some of the stories (case studies actually), but these things really happen if you get exposed to this when really young, and nobody bothers to correct your views.
>This year my girlfriend put me on some decent snake oil indeed. Tens of euros worth of food supplements per month. I also went to see an acupuncturist. My problems aren't reduced, they're gone. I can be outside for an entire day and not notice a thing. My problem is, 0% of what I did is evidence-based medicine.

For one, your issues could have healed by themselves, even without it, just through time passing. Since there's a sample of 1 of you, and you did take those drugs, we don't have a control group, and can't know.

Second, those food supplements make have actually had some good stuff -- like a vitamin you're deficient in -- that helped in this case.

Lastly, there's always the placebo effect.

None of the above are an argument against the Goop stuff being snake-oil (and neither is "but it worked for me" for some Goop product).
> The effects of attention economy can be witnessed in reports of people quitting Facebook temporarily as a kind of detox, or the general uncluttering movement (caused by sensory overload which is in turn caused by attention parasites like social networks, and our generally hectic lifestyle). In my opinion, the costs of the attention economy outweigh its benefits.

I don't think the solution here is to somehow stop people making products like Facebook though...if you're using Facebook to an unhealthy degree and letting it consume all your attention you should work on yourself in my opinion as you'll just find something else to fill that gap. Facebook has had a positive impact on my social life for example and I don't feel addicted to it.
Seems the spammers have been having a day today on HN
I don't get why ? It's exactly the same today : you need at least one party to host the data (in this case the archive team). With IPFS however, if more parties wish to host it, it will lighten the load.
It's true that some supervisors operate in this manner (i.e. oppressing employees based on their own compensation), but those are egregiously sub-optimal supervisors indeed.

Live concerts played from memory? E.g. Eubie Blake supposedly only wrote Charleston Rag down 16 years after composing it.
This is a nice argument that I actually believe myself, but you could counter it by saying that, due to sexism, even when women and men do exactly the same work, the males' result are valued more. Hiring managers don't have to be perfectly rational, they could be (unconsciously) sexist.
I'd say there is no perfect solution however there are much better approaches.

1) Parents should discuss sexuality issues with their children, so they understand them.
2) Schools should provide good sex education that isn't "if you play with it, it'll fall off"
3) If parents or schools want to block easy access to inappropriate materials on their networks, use one of the many many existing blacklist blocking programs available. No need for legislation to do that.
The answer is to educate teens in school and at home. To put a big lock on porn sites will not help and it's not even feasible to completely shelter them from that topic.
Can you provide a source for your "90%" assertion, please?
>I had interesting experiences with snake oil. I saw four acupuncturists. Two were useless, two changed my life. I'm talking about lasting, unambiguous, not-up-for-debate physical changes that are still present more than fifteen years later.

The "up-to-debate" part is not the changes, is that it was acupuncture that brought them up.

You only know that (a) "you did acupuncture" and (b) "you had those changes".

This is far from what's sufficient to establish a causal link.

>I have no explanation, but I'm not going to deny my experience because of that. ("Placebo" doesn't do it. Not for this level of change.)

You'd be surprised.

If you'd have grown a new foot after the old one was severed, then yes, one might questioned the possibility of placebo. But for anything else, including e.g. a major growth disappearing etc, it can very much happen.

Not only placebo can do huge levels of change, but even no-placebo-nothing-at-all, e.g. things like faith or optimism, can have similar effects. People have had recoveries caused by nothing we know in particular (verified as real recoveries by doctors with no known cause), that they have attributed to miracles, saints, etc.
Thanks for posting this. I agree with one of the other commenters that this is probably the most informative comment on the thread. (And, to be honest, the kind of answer I was hoping to get to my initial post.)
As far as I understand, there is no accepted formal specification or even single source of truth for what the rust community thinks are the "rust memory safety guarantees". Only a large number of people that have completely convinced each other that "it's better than C++" with little proof and without even clearly defining their own semantics. Please correct me if I'm wrong here (a blog post does not qualify as a specification).
