> This reflection system is based on preprocessor macros and templates. C++, at least in its current form, was not designed to make runtime reflection easy.

This is something I’d love to see changed in an upcoming C++ standard. (I lose track of exactly what we are or aren’t getting with whatever’s coming next so it’s possible it is already...)

Creating C++ reflection systems seems to be a common need and oft-repeated. IMHO one of the appeals in doing so is that you have to be clever and use either complexity or tricks to make it work. That’s not intended to criticize the author here, but I would really like not to have to be clever in solving a common problem.

In the UK at least it's common for ATMs at banks and supermarkets to be built into the wall. You still have freestanding ones too (including in bank branches), but if the solution to this issue is to get rid of the freestanding ones, it's not likely to be a major inconvenience, especially as many stores offer cash back on request (e.g. buy a pack of gum on card, request £30 cash back, get charged for the gum and the cash, resulting in obtaining £30 cash taken from the till).

Binance is the best by a wide margin right now. Most stable, good tech, great job scaling, and lowest fees. The crypto market moves very fast though. “Standing the test of time” isn’t really a thing.
The website was unusable for me. I find the topic super interesting, but it’s not worth the extra time to parse. Not the least of which is that on mobile the font sizes were strange and the text poorly placed. Edit: typos.
Just flipping the about:config bit alone doesn't help much though. Any malicious extension installed after changing the setting would still have to have some payload with similar malicious behavior.

Moreover, even if Firefox was compiled without support for that setting, malware could patch the Firefox binary (or download and install a malicious version) to disable the check and then it'd still be able to hide itself as a Firefox extension instead of a binary somewhere else on the system. Once there's malicious code running on the system, it's game over and a flag disabling installing more malware using one out of many possible methods is not going to help much.

However, not having the setting may help for users that get tricked into toggling it through some web page telling them to and then installing a malicious extension, but that's a different scenario than an already compromised system.
I'm shocked reading this. How is this legal in the USA? And they have been doing this "racial balancing" for this long?

Quotes:

"The data from the 6 magnetometers (i.e. 6 bits) was somehow digitally compressed into 4-bit words and then stored in a magnetic-core buffer that could hold up to 8 such 4-bit data words."
"It is unknown why and how the data was compressed from 6 to 4 bits, and the NSA report is very vague on this point. It is possible that the Soviets used 4-bit logic and had to spread the 6-bit data over more than one 4-bit data word, but it is more likely that they used frequency analysis"

"According to the NSA report, the Russians compressed the 6-bit data into a 4-bit frequency select word. Although the report doesn't explain what they mean by this, we can make a few educated guesses. The reason for compressing it into 4-bits, was probably the fact that the Russians only had access to 4-bit digital technology at the time. The problem with 4 bits however, is that each data word has just 16 possible combinations"

...

Maybe a similar "hack"?

Wow, nobody suggested scheme or lisp. These used to be traditional choices for general purpose AI programming. Why did these languages fall out of favor?
Interesting, either that shit is locked down tight, or Apple got them to scrub it. The parking lot isn’t empty, though.
I heard someone use 'Nature' as untouched-by-humans. With the use of a capital. They didn't give any rationale.

Maybe once Nature has been corrupted by humans it ceases to be such.

Woe is human -- with our ontological flagellation. (We grant the existence of Nature only to turn it back on ourselves.)

Sure but I don't see where the value of such feedback is.

You can find lots of comments anywhere about how any one product sucks. Many of them will be 10+ year multi-million companies with hundreds or thousands of employees.

It's not like that's going to empower you to compete with them. Or give you some advantage.

Not to mention the difficulty of making something that is better (those "it sucks" comments will be written for your solution too).

> Many tiling windows managers like i3 and XMonad have a tabbed layout

I'm aware of that - I use Sway on my linux machines, which ported that over from i3. But thanks for pointing it out, anyway :)

What I didn't know is that openbox and fluxbox can do this too, as oblio notes (but that's more out of disinterest for those two - maybe I should have a closer look).

I mainly pointed at awesome because I find it to be - well - awesome for being so flexible. You can do almost anything if you want to bend it for your specific workflows - be that in a tiling or floating layout.

For example: I still have a couple of scripts lying around that introduce the workspace behavior of the Gnome 3 shell in an awesome desktop.
I do not disagree with the dangers of air pollution it's just that if you look at large populations of bicyclists there are no significant elevation of risk compared to other populations in this regard.

Do you mean that graphic designers should bother themselves with CSS instead of dragging shapes? I must have misinterpreted what you said.

Also, I find the PDF format to be quite practical for real world use, just because it is easy to print them and then annotate them by hand in a meeting or while reading them.
Seems like exchanges should be fine as long as their books balance. Even in a “run” you would just have delays waiting for cash outs to process, they would go through eventually.
PowerPoint is a fantastic tool when used as designed - to create slide decks to provide assistive material for an in person presentation, or longer report.

The issue is, most people don't use PowerPoint like that, rather than being assistive, it becomes the end result, so you end up with very complex material distilled down to a single slide, loosing much of its value and context - or worse, inscrutable diagrams and charts crammed with so much detail no one could understand them, and again, often lacking in context.

I once worked for a large telecom - everything came 'round in a slide deck;

Need an account for this service? PowerPoint

Need to understand this complex technical issue? PowerPoint

Need directions to configure some software? PowerPoint

Need some common links for services? PowerPoint

It was absurd - I joked that if PowerPoint suddenly disappeared, no one at the office would know how to get anything done.
The one bit of advice that I have is that you have to find the problem that is worth suffering for.

But it’s not the same 93% of households driving short trips every single day, while 7% of households drive long-haul day in and day out.

I might commute to work and back for less than 100 miles every single work day. But every weekend or so I might take a longer trip - short getaway to the beach, mountains, skiing resort, wine country, theme park, national park, relative out of town - you name it.

What am I supposed to do for that weekend or two? Take an Uber to Yosemite? Show up at Avis/Hertz and request to be raped on prices for a hot holiday weekend?

I find BeOS mainly curious because it experimented with strange features on each level (e.g. said tabs, BeFS/Tagging, etc). I think every one of those features should (and probably would) have gotten an overhaul by now if Be Inc. was still around.

That said, I haven't looked much at their APIs. If the tabbing behaviour is exposed properly, I can imagine it would be quite easy to write a small utility that stays in the tray and does that automatic tabbing separately.
Lisp family languages, IIRC, were traditional choices for “AI” when “AI” largely meant expert systems / production rules systems. But, AFAIK, while s-expression like formats remain traditional for rules expressions in such systems, the implementation languages even for those (which usually aren't called “AI” today) are often in other languages.

They're different people. People who want gender quotas seems to think of Asian people as a successful group and therefore OK to discriminate against - my SF friends called Facebook's employee numbers re: Asians irrelevant because Asians were somehow Europeans.
Wait, data races are undefined behavior?

Is that in the sense that the compiler is allowed to assume they don't happen? I always figured it was defined behavior but not determinate.
3blue1brown’s videos are excellent. They build intuition in a calm and friendly way with an appropriate amount of useful animation. This is how we make mathematics accessible.

There's 2 main alternatives for smartwatch OS:

For Pebble there is Rebble [1] and for touchscreen smartwatches there is AsteroidOS [2]. You wanna look at the first although most functions of the stock firmware should remain working. They'll for sure stay running till June 2018.

As for the subject (I skimmed through the article), I think its true. I own a Pebble 2 as well and I'd love to buy a smartwatch with similar features (7 days battery life, music control, customisable watchface, stepcounter, calendar, alarms, Google Drive app, workout app, 2FA app, to-do list app, and 4 hardware buttons or some inventive way to be easily usable during sports (the scrollwheels don't cut it)). I haven't found any (nevermind the price of the Pebble being very competitive). Mind you, I did find some devices which were very good at some of these features.

Perhaps you could mention the motivation for the trick in the readme? My initial reaction was "either this is an april-fools style joke, or it's a cute but pointless trick", and it wasn't til I got to the bottom of the HN comments that I found an explanation of why it would be worth knowing...

Oh yes. This.

I mean, if I'm looking at a presentation on some topic, I could't care less about what the author used as a tool, as long as it works properly.

But what some people inflict on others with their "designed" slides is just beyond cruel. And honestly: If there are people that can present complex algorithms on a black and white slideset - and there are astoundingly good presentations that do this! - you can keep it simple, too. No reason to use ugly pixelated (and stolen!) ClipArt, ugly background images that clash with the foreground etc. Yuck.
You'd be surprised how many things are running Windows. I always wonder if the manufacturer just hires cheap contractors that haven't seen anything apart from Windows in their entire life, or if there is an actual reason it can't run on linux.
Notebooks however let you run code blocks in arbitrary orders, delete ones but keep their results in memory, change them without rerunning and change code with none of the downstream dependencies updating.

It's possible (actually very easy) to have code which works as you're making it but not if you run it from scratch.
Talking about the push for implicit quotas in tech companies/all companies. Kind of obviously.
Some states do, indeed, have grace period laws. Indiana, for instance, requires a 10 day grace period. It might have changed the last 5 years, but it was customary to charge late fees during this time, some of them quite extraordinary.

I honestly think it should be written to state 10 days or until the next paycheck. Most employers won't correct a paycheck immediately and instead, correct with the following paycheck. Minimally, this would allow folks to survive until that sort of thing is fixed. I'd also require a cap on late fees. Additionally, I'd also require a letter listing aid agencies the tenant can try to get some help (easily a form letter provided by the city/county government on the internet), provided earlier than the eviction notice.

Depends on your perspective. Prices dropped significantly because people started to prefer dollars to some extent. Several of the large exchanges that existed back then are still around, however, and others were acquired. Examples of those still around: Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bitfinex, Kraken. Sure I'm missing others.

I mention the above only to say it didn't feel like a true bank run to me at the time. People were still able to get in and out, but prices were certainly depressed. And several of the exchanges survived.
You could also do:
"text {}".format(foo)

It does extend. It's just an XOR/parity trick. The last person shouts out the XOR of all the previous colors (if you prefer: whether the number of visible white hats is even or odd). From there, every other subsequent person knows their color by XORing the hats they see together with the guesses made so far.

For example, the second to last person knows their hat is black (0) if the last person's guess matches the XOR of the hats they see - if it doesn't, their hat flipped it, and thus is white (1). And so on and so forth. Your hat color is everything you see and everything that was said XORed together.

You're thinking of Secure Boot as it's typically used, where firmware on the motherboard verifies that the kernel is signed by whoever wrote the kernel, e.g. Microsoft. But there's no reason you couldn't have the motherboard OEM load, say, the ATM manufacturer's public key, and have Secure Boot verify that the kernel has been signed by the ATM manufacturer. Then the motherboard will refuse to boot an OS which wasn't signed by the ATM manufacturer, even if it's otherwise "pure".
These policies at least begin with good intentions. After starting from a long history of discrimination, bias may be ingrained and require intentional counter-action. Once you've adjusted, however, the policy stops being useful.

Carbs become glucose, and if those carbs are refined they give you a glucose spike, your body needs to generate then the right amount of insulin to neutralize that sugar, insulin transforms the sugar into fat, a type of fat that is hard to eliminate. If your body underestimates the amount of insulin that excess of glucose will cause your circulatory system and other tissues to swallow, if it overestimates it, it will generate too much insulin that will remove too much glucose from your blood and you will feel tired and hungry.
