This is where Meetups.com fits in. But this area has kind of migrated away from the traditional discussions (which now happen on places like here, Reddit, Slack). There's usually too many recruiters, managers, vendors and sales people involved. I'm not saying these people are necessarily bad for the environment, but to cater for a particular type of discussion - they detract from it.

How many conferences or meetups have you attended where a significant portion of the audience doesn't understand what's being talking about on stage (usually because "business" and "technical" tracks aren't broken up)?

I think there's definitely a space for this to succeed in. Look forward to attending.

Show HN: Forms on cards
An AV codec isn't a weapon to lock developers into your platform while wasting millions of dollars and thousands of man hours on pointless api ports. There are too many implementations of encoders / decoders for the various formats lying around to get away with that. Its not like they didn't try with Quicktime in the past (ish? .mov was just a crippled .mp4), but that never really made them any money I don't think.
The drawback is that the finally block is far away from the set-up block, which makes it painful to maintain and allows them to get out of sync pretty easily. It's a syntactic issue rather than a semantic issue.

(This is only referring to use cases other than resource release.)
The people who use SCOPE_EXIT are responsible for making sure no exceptions are thrown (well, that any exceptions that get thrown are swallowed before they trigger std::terminate).

A Checklist for Building Trust with Candidates
It sounds like when you say "an AAC project", you're thinking of MPEG-4 ALS [1], which was the codec chosen by MPEG for lossless audio in the mid-2000s and last updated in 2009. Despite ALS being blessed by MPEG, it never achieved much acceptance in the market. Its most direct ancestor was LPAC [2], developed at the Technical University of Berlin; but ALS included improvements from NTT Communication Science Laboratories and RealNetworks [3].

Apple developed Apple Lossless ("ALAC"), a different, unrelated [4] format, which was fairly similar to FLAC, but different in some minor ways (paraphrasing the FLAC dev's own words [4]).

As a member of 18~23yo age group ("young person"), I would say snaps the only social media I enjoy using besides HN/reddit.

Most young people I know use Facebook for groups (local like a school or city), events , and chat. IMO Facebook is shooting all of these feet off with the algorithmic newsfeed and spinning off messenger.

Snap however is used constantly to keep up with peers. Haven't met a single person that uses instagram's stories, even though its usage numbers tell another story.

It really might just be my age/location/privlege bubble, but it consistently baffles me that Facebook keeps growing at such a faster speed than snap.

I asked my younger siblings and none of them nor their friends have facebooks, besides the one in college. They all have snap and insta, and spend ~2X time on snap than insta. Most text communication is snap or SMS.
It's a case of balancing risk I guess.

If I'm in an area where there aren't poison drops and where there is no human interference, I'll take the risk. Outdoor activities are inherently risky.

You're jumping around: exceptions being checked or not is orthogonal to returning errors from a destructor. It's true that being unchecked may make it harder to know when you need to, but the point stands that the ability to return errors from a destructor is not a way in which Rust's error handling is better than C++'s.

Additionally, the C++ solution for returning errors from destructors is also explicit in the signature.

(To be clear, I'm very firmly a fan of Rust, but I'm also a fan of accurate representations of it.)

> "looks like" is associated with physical appearance

Yes in very strict sense, but many people use "looks like", "sounds like" and so on interchangeably. I say "your proposal sounds good" even though proposal was sent by email and I didn't mean it is pleasing to my ears, melodic and soothing - I mean its content is OK. So we should not overanalyze and imply meaning that the author may not have put there. "Looks like" may just mean "gives general impression, by appearance, behavior, speech patterns, actions, etc." not necessarily excluding non-visual inputs. Human speech is not always precise.

That said, I agree that we should not have biases like if somebody, say, looks good on TV (and here again I don't mean just pretty face or nice clothes but more overall competent communicative behavior) they must be TV actor or hired comm person and can't possibly be genuine engineer. It's true that many engineers are awkward and some are socially inept, but that shouldn't be required. One can be a good engineer and a good presenter and a good communicator.
What's your opinion:

Were the two falcons landing at the same moment synchronized to look good for the cameras, or was it just how it happened because they travelled together?
That's BLM and National Forest lands. Anything beyond that is illegal but you should still protect yourself from unscrupulous ranchers just as you should look both ways on a one-way street.

OK, but as an individual you are extremely unlikely to receive such a request. You are probably only going to see an NSL if you are working for a company that stores or processes user data.

Of course if you're an individual dev, and you host your project in the cloud, then the cloud provider may get served with an NSL that covers your users, without you even learning this happened (unless the company, like Twilio, has a really well-thought-out process for dealing with these and is willing to negotiate them a bit where the law permits).

I actually felt this way about my Asus Android Nexus 7 2013 - I didn't use it daily or even monthly, just enough to remember it. It largely collected dust and now it longer gets updates.

A lot of performance is lost to feature creep in the underlying OS. This is easy to see in Windows as you can open up services.msc all the way back to Windows 2000 and see something like a tenth of the number of running services (or less). (Now I wish I had a Windows 2000 disc to test that theory out with)

Plus factor in that the app frameworks themselves get more complex, and the current trend of using-browser-as-frontend (plus all the bloat of the web) and one can see how old devices don't cut it as much. And since each iteration gets bigger, the longer an OEM maintains support the worse it performs.

It would be interesting to compare how well old devices function by how soon OS support is cut -- I'd bet that the earlier a given device is left behind, the better it ends up running.

Yes, I don't know tons about it but in general kqueue looks like a good solution, and like what I would want for a generic solution (Though obviously, kqueue goes beyond just signals, and might be a little bit complicated when talking about a solution just for signals).

My thinking is more along the lines that signals are literally just user-land interrupts, and it would have been nice if they went for something other then that so that you don't have to worry about user-land code being interrupted, and all the ugliness that follows that. But I suppose it's worth keeping in mind that the first Unix didn't feature O_NONBLOCK or `select`, and the syscalls had to be cancel-able, so there is only so much they could do. And signal handlers help avoid having to call some conditional check after every syscall. But I fell like having something similar to `signalfd` that was a standard fd (STDSIGNAL_FILENO I suppose) from the start would have been nicer overall.

Last year I signed up for a paid subscription to Grammarly...then I read terms of use[1]. I know...it should have been the other way around, but here it goes:

> "By uploading or entering any User Content, you give Grammarly (and those it works with) a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and fully-paid, transferable and sublicensable, perpetual, and irrevocable license to copy, store and use your User Content in connection with the provision of the Software and the Services and to improve the algorithms underlying the Software and the Services."

First I thought that may be this is just me being paranoid. So I compared their terms of service with Evernote's[2] and summarize the differences for them in the support ticket asking termination of my account. I reproduce that here for reference:

> In Evernote's TOS

> – It's clearly noted that the user retains their Copyright to the content;

> – and the license to Evernote is a limited and they don't "obtain any right, title or > interest" other than they point out;

> – they don't require sublicensable and transferable rights to User Content which is different than having the rights to share the content with other contractual partners
(which they require);

> – the agreement on content is irrevocable as long as the content is stored on the service.

>How did sci-fi get so disconnected from the actual future?

The original Star Wars was made in 1977, and based heavily on World War 2 combat films (much of the space combat and the trench run on the Death Star was lifted - sometimes shot for shot - from a film called "The Dam Busters.") For reasons of continuity and tone, that mechanical aesthetic can't ever change much throughout the franchise, or else it wouldn't "look" like Star Wars.

But the point is that it's exciting, it's visceral, the archetypes of the fighter pilot and joystick and of buttons that do important things make sense to the audience, and as a result those scenes can convey emotion though the use of familiar visual language.

Sci-fi was never "connected" to the future, and it was never (or at least, never explicitly) about attempting to accurately describe or predict the future. Yes, you could have replaced the ships and pilots in Star Wars with remote or AI controlled drones, not colored in the blasters, etc, and it might be more realistic, but no one would enjoy watching it.

People do enjoy dogfights (and spaceships that bank when they turn) and space wizards with laser swords doing flippy shit and punching each other with telekinesis, though.
I find this an interesting and refreshing part of snapchats’ advertising platform (to be clear I do not care about what the kardashians ate for breakfast). Spiegel has said in the past that they would strive to not target individual users based on browsing history, etc. as Facebook and Twitter do. https://venturebeat.com/2015/06/22/ceo-evan-spiegel-in-canne.... This was before the app went public and I’m sure there has been significant pressure from shareholders to produce a better product for advertisers that makes even more money. However, it seems at some point these “untargeted ads” were/are intentional

Sure, I agree with you. But the title appears to advise what developers should do. It doesn't even address "how to verify the letter", and certainly doesn't seem to suggest seeking legal help. In the worst language, this blog post is only addressing what Twilio, which is the standard procedure for a company to do anyway, and therefor the title is misleading and is inaccurate. Anytime we find ourselves in trouble with law enforcement, please seek legal help.

Providing a template so one (individual or an organization) can talk to FBI and whatnot is wrong because that's encouraging people NOT to seek help. This is not some insurance appeal letter. Your lawyer should know what to do, not you. If the NLS is accompanied with a gag order, the gag order will never prevent the recipient to seek legal help.

There's still a huge cloud of uncertainty around NSLs, to the point that many people seem uncertain about whether they can even disclose having received one to their counsel.

Its fairly fast, easy to link out to C if you need to. There are versions of the VM that are blisteringly fast, like Luajit, and others that are tiny like eLua.

It can be event and callback oriented.

And though dynamic, most gotchas about JS don't apply, as it isn't overly eager to typecast everything.

FH success mostly helps BFR in regards to operating a ton of engines simultaneously (27 for Heavy, 31 for BFR) and in operating heavy lift capacity rockets in general.

BFR/BFS will come online as a self-competitive offering from SpaceX initially and both lines will be out in the market together (BFR vs. F9/FH). If and when BFR attains sufficient maturity, reliability, and market trust then the Falcon line of rockets will be phased out. BFR will have much greater capabilities (higher payloads, etc.) but will be substantially cheaper because it'll be 100% reusable and the reusability longevity for its parts will be much higher than for F9/FH, so there won't really be much reason to keep Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy around.

Putting aside for discussion's sake the question of the very existence of any merits at all of compassion... why particularly should I ever be self-compassionate?

A person cannot control other people's actions the way they can control their own; and that's one of the few reasons I can't berate other people for their mistakes to the extent that I can berate myself for my own. Indeed, for that same reason, when I make mistakes, my response to myself is little more than the vilest of fury: the ability to act correctly (including the ability to learn it) was within my own nervous system, yet I clearly neglected to use it.

(For example: previously this comment contained several typographical errors. Rereading the comment repeatedly, revealed each typo ... but there's no excuse for any of them to have even escaped the keyboard.)

Yes - and even when I was working on the Qt apps, I really wanted a shared non-Qt and preferably non-C++ library for application logic that was nicely portable between Qt on desktop, Python for the spots where we needed it, and Android (Java) and iOS (Objective-C).

I am reasonably excited about WebAssembly as a solution for this for web apps. (Although web apps also have a natural front-end/back-end separation, and people consider JS as just one of many potential options for a back-end language, which helps a lot here.) It does surprise me that there isn't good support for doing this with actual native code on Electron.

Are there really no behavior changes? What happens if you shave your head, and then have to apologize again before it grows back? Seems like there are consequences that become incentives.

Sure, someone can fake sincerity, but doing the rituals forces the apologizer to think about what they've done, which, in a decent human being, leads to self-reflection and attempt to improve. This is of course gameable by sociopaths, but works decently well for anyone trying to be decent.
Problem is you still generally need simple logic to combine some course grained blocks. Also we have a lot of FGPA's that including adders, RAM, DPS cores, and more course grained devices.

Honestly, a LUT can be pretty efficient structure for what it does. The biggest advantage to coarse grained structures is their they are much faster since the internal construction can use optimal routing.

The biggest issue with FGPA's is the programmable routing/connections. Ideally each LUT would form a complete graph. However, the number of wires grows at the approx rate n(n-2)/2 where N is the number of LUTs. So instead the structure is more hierarchical. Still the majority of silicon on an FPGA is still just used for routing.

However, I think an array of ALU's actually could be quite useful for some applications over an FPGA.
