People who spent many years developing C++ already understand what the standard library offers, regardless on whether they studied that deliberately.

People coming to the language lack the expertise to tell well-designed code from bad-designed. It’s tempting to treat the whole standard library as an example of the former.

Maybe that’s a personal thing but I remember doing that when I just started my career back in 2000. STL wasn’t quite there but MFC was already in wide use. Because I lacked the experience I considered whatever’s there is good, and ended up using not so good parts such as C++ exceptions and macro-driven dynamic serialization.

> Also, consider that sob stories confer tips too. Why not convince your customer that uber is abusing you, but you have nowhere else to go?

Not in the context of providing a professional service, it doesn't. When was the last time you tipped a waiter or waitress more for a sob story? People want to be catered to when they're paying for a service, and part of that is not having to worry about other people's negative emotions.
> I wish there were at least some professional news outlets with an expressed commitment to political neutrality.

Pretty much all of them have some form of an “expressed commitment to political neutrality”, even Fox News did until fairly recently..

Of course, whether there is any substantive backing to the expressed commitment is a whole different question.
Yup. It's really quite simple - focus on the USD on-ramps and off-ramps.

>I wonder if there is a US news weekly akin to the Economist, with a good mix of news and analysis,

Not really. There used to be the weekly news magazines (Time, Newsweek, US News and World Report). Time is still hanging in there. But it's a pale shadow of its former self and was never either as deep or as broad as the Economist is.

Ask HN: Embed initial data as a JSON snippet in a JavaScript widget?
I am developing a JavaScript widget.

The usual approach is something like this:

<div id="my-corp-widget" data-customer-id="42">Loading...</div>
<script src="https://www.mycorp.com/widget.js"></script>

First, the browser loads, parses and executes the script. Then, the script looks up the customer ID, fetches the data and renders the widget. It is simple and it works. But the main drawback of this approach is the latency introduced by having two roundtrips to the server: one to fetch the script, another to fetch the data.

This is the reason why I'm thinking of injecting the initial data as a JSON snippet directly in the JavaScript sent by the server, in order to improve loading time by avoiding a roundtrip to the server.

The code would look like this:

<div id="my-corp-widget">Loading...</div>
<script src="https://www.mycorp.com/widget.js?customer_id=42"></script>

Advantage:

- 1 roundtrip instead of 2

Drawbacks:

- The script needs to be dynamically generated server-side and cannot be statically hosted on a CDN.

- The script cannot be cached as efficiently because it differs for each customer.

Do you have any recommandation or comment?
Thanks for posting this! It was a great read. I have always been interested in low level graphics programming.
From what I understand if you incorporate experience, job position, hours worked, there is still an 8% or so gender wage gap that isn't explainable or doens't have a measurable explanation. I only know this from looking up [1] and [2] recently, which both link to studies and similar that I perused instead of the commentary.

>…going to lay the foundation for what replaces mobile phones

I having a hard time seeing how this technology (and AR glasses/devices in general, at least what we hear of it) is going to be more of utility in the future than the billions of people with cheap smartphones are today.

I think brain(neural) computer interfaces (transmitters/sensors) have a better chance of leaping over the smartphone than anything coming from this, and currently have utility to some of the most physically marginalized people on the planet, which is a lot more than magic can say for its product.
The problem with these analogous argument about what money means fails to account for the implicit contract that we all sign as members of a society. If you buy your own island like Sir Richard Branson then by all means do what you please.

Legal tender is perhaps the most important corner stone of a modern nation state, if an entrepreneur can invent their own money and subsume the one issued by a government then you don't have a government. I for one prefer having a government.

This is not a trivial issue as cryptocurrency proponents seem to think it is.

Uber costs are different in different areas. I suspect the areas with higher minimum wage also tend to correlates with higher rates for Uber due to a higher median income, enabling a higher optimal price on the price:demand curve. A random website and some very nonscientific sampling (internet forum stats at their finest!) seems to provide some confirmation of this hypothesis:

http://uberestimate.com/prices/Seattle/
- $1.35 base, $0.24/minute, $1.35/mile, $1.95 service fee, $5.45 minimum fare

http://uberestimate.com/prices/Miami/
- $0.95 base, $0.13/minute, $0.91/mile, $2.20 service fee, $5.50 minimum fare
This is similar to sports team which have to renegotiate their talent costs pretty much every year, which I guess is the reason so many sports teams keep the finances private. MANU performance, for instance, lags all common benchmarks.
The Stanford paper estimates gross earning to be around $18 per hour and all expenses including insurance, downtime, gasoline and depreciation (but not fines) at $5 per hour. This gives net earnings of $13 per hour.

To get the $5 per hour in expenses they use 25 cents per mile for those expenses and 20 miles driven per hour.

This is all explained on page 36 of the Standford paper which I think is excellent but is primarily concerned with understanding the gender earnings gap not the distribution of net earnings.

Are you implying that because someone lives in an oppressive country that they have no money to transact? I really dont understand your question.

Oppressive regimes tend to control money flow in/out of the country. So if you, for example, have an aunt somewhere outside that wants to send you money -> you just might not be able to receive it, or would need to give some official a slice of the pie. Bitcoin obviously can help as u can just move the money without government oversight.

This is the biggest issue with this. STOP TEACHING “using namespace std;”. This is bad, bad, bad, and it sucks.
I don't see a free download as being enough.

At very least, there needs to exist painless interoperability with the SDK toolchain, debugging tools, IDE, platform libraries.

Every piece of the puzzle that doesn't quite work like the SDK tools, means additional development/debugging effort.

Naturally the big question is always if the added benefit of using language X outside the expected workflow outweighs the extra development costs.

Just look at C++, it was on the path of being widely adopted by desktop OSes, every C compiler vendor was adding support for it.

Then BSD and Linux large scale adoption happened with GNU manifesto favouring C as the language to write portable software, Java and .NET came into the scene.

Microsoft was probably the only major OS vendor still caring about it, until LLVM happened and the wind started blowing again with C++11.

The embedded space is still an area where C++ is hardly seen, with a few conference talks last year discussing on how to advocate for it.

Now all major C compilers are written in C++, but had Microsoft focused only on .NET or LLVM never happened, and history would probably followed another path.
Right - on sale around November 2015? 2 years OS, 3 years security. I actually got a Nexus 6P in July 2017 (under $300 like new). It's a great phone - we'll see how it's running in December when the security updates dry up. Maybe it'll be time to get something else if I'm worried about unpatched security flaws.
Definitely, but "I commute to/from work" is a lot different than "I drive for 10 hours a day, every day".
Hey vinrob, big fan!
There is no such thing as clean money. Everything we've built in the west was done on stolen land, on the backs of slaves and migrants. So whether it's $450mil that came off the backs of Yemenis or $450mil that came off the backs of natives and mexicans - it's all the same.
There are many dedicated real time clock chips, pre-designed for backup time-keeping and low power usage. Interfacing with one is going to be way faster/easier/better than trying to roll your own on a general purpose microcontroller, IMO.

TI's bq32000 is $0.55@1K, is 3.3V for easy interface to the ESP, and takes just over 1 microamp in backup power mode. That's just one that I quickly poked at.

(Side note: at this point, I'd think I'd want to be using an ESP32 in any new designs.)

Slack IRC and XMPP Gateways Are Closing
I'm flabbergasted by how much disinformation is infecting this threat. If you look at the list of legal actions the SEC has pursued at the bottom of the article, they are all flagrant violations of securities law and clearly unethical practices.

For example, in "SEC v. Jon E. Montroll and Bitfunder", the individual in question was accepting "investments" in his exchange that were clearly securities (probably fitting the definition of a public offering). He also failed to report a massive theft of Bitcoin and misappropriated customer funds.

This guidance does not claim that Bitcoin or Ethereum are securities.

This is the birth of a new industry. It's unregulated, messy, and the massive amounts of money involved have invited all manner of fraudsters and scam artists - just like the stock market did 100 years ago. There will be a regulatory shakeout and we can all hopefully get back to the business of building a useful ecosystem.

If you're referring to the "Currently this document is private, but eventually some or all of it should be public." comment, then there's really nothing suspicious about it, he doesn't want to publicly release the roadmap until later on.

> assuming there was a chain of consent somewhere in there

What if a genetic disorder is determined by screening close family (parents, siblings, first cousins)? Could an insurance company reasonably determine that the trait exists within the family, thus block coverage as a "likely" pre-existing condition? Or worse, force a person to be tested if they want coverage?

What are the odds those consent forms will have blanket permissions? Allowing for fishing expeditions.
Ask HN: Would you pay for a referral program system for your business?
Hi there, looking for a referral program system for a side project of mine I came up with the idea of actually building one, since I didn't find many alternatives. Looking for this topic on HN I found two people who had already suggested something like this.

What do you think about it? Specifically:
-Do you need a referral program system for your business?
-Do you use one? Which? Did you roll out your own system?
-How much would you pay for something like this? Flat or per signup?
-Which features should definitely have the MVP?
-How would you like the integration process to be? What steps would you expect, what steps would you definitely want to avoid?

I've been reading HN Micro-SaaS and solo founders posts for ages but never actually tried to build my own SaaS. If you found this idea interesting and worth pursuing I would definitely try it out, maybe this weekend I would do a hackathon and ship the MVP.

Also, I think it should very niche, I would be actually targeting small SaaS businesses.
Money transmitter regulation at state level already enforce the first and third. Money transmitters must retain and account for all customer funds on deposit. That is why I won't put any money into an exchange that avoids states that regulate exchanges as money transmitters (looking at you, Kraken).

I really wish the SEC or FinRA would supercede the state level money transmitter regulations. It makes little sense for a money transmitter that transmits money across state borders to be regulated by the whims of both states instead of the government that has regulation of interstate commerce as part of its constitution. And it would give regulatory evaders like Kraken an all or nothing choice instead of their current practice of only doing business where there's no regulation.
According to everyone

tldr; try to get to know different 'everyones'

This sounds very, very familiar for me, were it 5 years ago. Then I took up some new hobbies which involved meeting new people. Which I was first reluctant to, not being the most social being out there, but then did it anyway because I really wanted to do new things. Man, did I not regret that for one moment. Turns out there are other types of people than your standard 'everyone' as well. You just need to find them (well, or you don't, up to you, but for me it was really an enrichment in life to meet similar-yet-different-minded people). Like you and me, basically. Not only won't they be quick to judge, but if I tell them 'oh I've been alone for 4 weeks' they just nod and say 'yeah, understandable, did the same last month'.
Assuming someone's income is that low, they can't just spend multiple months saving up for each and every article of clothing. That also means forgoing saving for anything else. What good is just a warm jacket when it is below 10F outside? Or when my car breaks down and I need to choose between that single jacket and a new alternator?

There is no long term if I can't survive the short term to get there. So in this situation, you buy the cheapest you can to ensure that you can at least make it to tomorrow.

This reminds me very strongly of another extraordinarily implausible denial, that from 2001 A Space Odyssey, in which both Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke have sworn blue streaks that "HAL" is in no way, and least of all a one-letter caesar cipher shift, related to "IBM". This where in the infamous "Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL" line the letters "IBM" are being projected onto astronaut Dave Bowman's face.

> Windows devs even with Midori running in front of them,

There were GC'ed operating systems in the 80s. The point is not this. It's writing applications where you can maximize your CPU usage.

If it's a game, it means that you want to write your code so that the highest number of objects are visible on screen and are being updated on each tick.
If its's a multimedia software, you want to be able to run most sounds / videos in parallel at the same time.
If it's an interpreter, you want to have the highest instructions-per-second count.

etc etc... the point is not to have "good enough" performance, it never has been as soon as you use non-trivial apps. It's always "how fast can it be" / "how far can I push it", and an implicit language-level GC puts limits to this.
Unless the decentralized exchanges get a licence, they'll still be illegal, right?

I could imagine jail time for the developers for knowingly supporting illegal activity would seriously dampen enthusiasm from the open source community. Also, depending on how decentralized such an exchange is, this would expose its customers to the same type of consequences (or possibly "just" large fines). It would not be too difficult to pass a law prohibiting consumers to knowingly trade on non-registered exchanges I'd think. (Possibly this is already illegal in your particular jurisdiction, IANAL)
I signed up for a NY Times Sunday subscription because at the time it was roughly the same price as the full-access digital subscription, but the price has gone up over time.

However, I find the print edition is a much better experience than the digital platforms. Mostly because I can simply ignore the mostly awful editorial section or things that are buried in eg Style, whereas on the site and app those pieces are mixed-in with the news, giving the appearance of bias. Also, there are often pieces which appear on page A6 of the newspaper which are buried on the website, so you get a very different view of the news with the actual paper.
Why would it be rational for them to behave the same way?

The free replica edition is only included with a print subscription, you can subscribe to the replica edition directly [0] which also includes one standard NYTimes.com account however.

If you have family members that you share (or would like to share) your NYTimes.com membership with getting a Sunday print subscription may also be an option. It's 2x the cost of the replica edition subscription (as well as an All-Access digital subscription which comes with 2 accounts) without promotional pricing but you get 2 additional NYTimes.com memberships, access to the crossword online and of course the Sunday print delivered to you if that's your thing.
