might have a ton of guys bombarding female users

Then perhaps the solution is to make guys be the ones to sit in the coffee shop and have the women decide who they want to drop in on.

The really beautiful thing about this is that the woman could see the guy and decide whether she thought it was safe to approach him or not without him even knowing she's there. She could just use the bathroom or buy a coffee and leave or anything else, just like any other customer.

>Sorry, then why has the US been involved in a major war every ten years since WW2?

Because those countries didn't have nukes. Nukes create peace for those who own them, not those who don't. North Korea will never be invaded by the US as long as they have nukes.

Same thing for Pakistan. It will not see the same fate as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lybia.. because it has nukes.

Western Europe knows peace because its two strongest powers are nuclear powers (United Kingdom, France), while the remaining power, Germany, kept being pushed into proving it has become inoffensive such as signing a treaty prohibiting it from building nuclear weapons. There can be no war in Western Europe territory as long as the UK, France and the US don't want war.

The last nail in the coffin to prove that the European Union is a paper tiger that has nothing to do with the absence of war in the continent is the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Nobody cared enough for Ukraine's fate to defend it and so Russia took whatever piece it wanted from it.

The EU didn't end war in Europe. Nuclear powers ended war in -WESTERN- Europe, which is not all of Europe. It would be nice to stop forgetting that there's other countries to the east of Germany and Switzerland. Considering the annexation of Crimea, the idea that there's a guaranteed peace is merely a dream, not a reality.
There's a problem with the "human override" option as well. Make it too easy to override and then the system just doesn't matter anymore.

Show HN: Saphir – A low-level yet not-painful server side rust framework
Thanks for the clarification. My impression as a Debian user was that it had been mostly curtailed.

It doesn't matter too much... you either trust your contributors or you don't. But it's still a bit icky.
Yeah, it looks like the author started playing around with D and writing a Pascal to D compiler for the migration, then did the evaluation with a "requirements" list that seems fairly heavily weighted towards D and their approach to translation by doing a simple recursive walk of the Pascal parse tree and outputting equivalent D, then decided to go with what they had already started working on.

Rust does support nested functions that don't close over their environment, and has a separate syntax for closures which do, and closures can either move or borrow their captured variables. This makes it a bit harder to write a translator that produces good, idiomatic results; you could always use a closure that borrows the closed over variables, which I think matches the Pascal semantics, but that would mean the code would look a little odd for cases in which you had a nested function just to factor out some functionality and didn't need the closure.

fn main() {
let a = 10;

fn function() {
println!("Hi!");
// println!("a is {}", a)
// fails with:
// can't capture dynamic environment in a fn item
// use the `|| { ... }` closure form instead
}

let borrow_closure = || println!("a is: {}", a);
let move_closure = move || println!("a is still: {}", a);

function();
borrow_closure();
move_closure();
}

Having worked at a hedge fund that suffered a data theft, I'd expect the criminal charges, if any, to come several months from now. It takes time for the police to build their case, collect evidence, interview possible witnesses or suspects, etc. All that happens before formal charges are filed. A lawsuit can be filed immediately.

What do you want to know... SQL support is excellent including creating arrays during GROUP BY, unnesting them in SELECT, converting to strings and passing to/from user defined functions in JS/python/etc.

Arrays scale as you'd expect, i.e. even if it's allowed, I don't recommend 1MM values in an array because some/many of the aforementioned features aren't tested to scale. AFAIK array operations are single threaded and not vectorized or parallelized.
Synergy is great. I use it for sharing my mouse and keyboard between my Windows desktop and MacBook Pro. I had some latency issues on WiFi with Synergy 1.x, but that seems to be resolved with 2.x. Licenses are very cheap for their commercial offering and I would highly recommend supporting them!
Your thread is gone from the front page now, even though it was getting a lot of votes.
The devices aren't being disabled, they're just having their access to Nintendo's online services restricted. This practice isn't anything new, and has been around as long as internet-enabled consoles have.
>It's not like this involves real currency

Constraint triggers are very useful for enforcing cross-table constraints.

Triggers themselves, beside the typical use cases of logging and notifying channels, I find useful for non-disruptive schema upgrades. You can redirect updates, or fill in non-trivial default values, using them. (Rules could probably fill the same role.)
This is a low-effort and mostly irrelevant argument. Who isn't invested in the status quo? Everyone has a stake in their current profession. What sets apart those in healthcare, especially someone like a surgeon, is their concurrent passion for science/biology and their desire to heal others.

IMO, the parent comment was simply remarking that those with EXPERIENCE in the field have a very different set of memories/recollections about healthcare, not to mention a lot of domain-specific knowledge, that those outside do not have. Those of us who have worked in healthcare for years, as I have, have a MUCH more intimate understanding of its vast complexities than a lay-person could. I think that's entirely reasonable and your comment assigns a negative connotation to people who are largely doing noble and important work.
Sure, you couldn't run your i386 machine code on it or at least not at competitive speed. But that is true for basically everything that isn't an x86.

That you can't run object code for one ISA on a totally different architecture is kind of the default state and you solve it by recompiling your code. It's why we have portable programming languages. No need to re-write your software except for some assembly routines in the OS and support libraries.

He seems like a very smart guy and an excellent communicator - I wonder if he'll be able to step up and make this role work. I will be rooting for him because the industry needs some players with deep pockets to step in and innovate.

On a side note I find it funny in a sort of inside baseball way that his description of an operation that he does, that he describes in detail and holds up as an example, drives my surgeon wife up the wall because it is not great (she does a lot more of them).
The last team I worked with seemed to be going that way. I'm an old-school database engineer, and RoR had a familiar feel as I was learning it, since it got a lot of the database interface right, but my manager was a blame-the-tools type.
To me our app just needed a few tweaks for performance and some refactoring of a few poorly-designed classes which were obvious in the data model, but to him it needed React, .net microservices, and a whole lot of yes-men to implement these things.

This kind of culture has always been around since way before Rails; unfortunately I've never learned how to turn it around. The team no longer has a database engineer :).
Oh, thanks for the link. I'm about to read your paper.

I should clarify that when I said FUDI is faster, I was repeating the grumblings I've heard on pd's email list, despite not having benchmarked anything myself. With tcl's "everything is a string" (0) format, I could imagine this being contextual. But I am really curious.

(0) - https://wiki.tcl.tk/3018

You might find this kinda funny, a piece of pd's documentation regarding the osc objects:

"OSC is a complicated networking protocol (FUDI, as used in netsend/netreceive is simpler and better but less widely used). oscparse and oscformat make no attempt to deal with timetags or aggregates of packets, nor with streaming OSC. Also, no attempt is made here to clearly distinguish between the OSC address (symbols) and the following data, nor between blobs and lists of numbers - it is assumed that you know what types the message should contain. You can alternatively use the OSC objects from mrpeach which have more features than these."
Good idea.

If all they're doing is adding a physical Echo device, I can do that.

It's unfortunate that it'll be another thing to remember to take care of, but it sounds mitigate-able.

Earth (global) problem is overpopulation. Depopulation is only a problem for western civilization/highly developed countries. Ask India, China or African countries do they need more citizens.

Who's going to give them money? Taxes?

Unskilled people who don't need to work? You missed my whole point about 'education' and 'training' so they can provide value to make money. I'm not giving anyone money. Just lower the ladder for them to climb up that the rich have pulled up behind them.
They're not disabling anything. They're banning consoles from online services after attempts to connect to those online services with a pirated game. The device itself is perfectly usable for single-player gaming. This is exactly like Sony and Microsoft have already done for years. If the EU goes after Nintendo here, why haven't they already gone after Sony and Microsoft for the same thing?
From the article:

"permanently ban those consoles from Nintendo's network."

"a banned console will stay banned from the network permanently"

It's a device-level ban so it will be applied to any subsequent owners.

It's surprising because 'selflessness' and thinking highly of oneself are a somewhat inconsistent.

I wish I had the source for this but I read somewhere the first obstacle to the path of enlightenment is the self righteousness of the aspirant ... i.e. as soon as someone starts learning higher truths, their sense of ego expands, which is kind of the opposite of the point.
I think many here are mistaken that yoga/meditation are of Buddhist origins. They are in fact of Hindu origin.

Yoga mainly focuses on 1. Exercises that stimulate the base of the spine, and 2. Breathing technics. If you imagine the brain as a flower and the spine as a stalk/root; a flower needs stimulation at the root for it to blossom. The focus on breathing is to get more oxygen to the brain. Combinedly these two help improve the potential of your brain.

Yoga does not necessarily make you a good person. It just enhances the knowledge/potential of your brain. You can use that advanced knowledge to become a good person or a bad person.
Do you seriously think I'm suggesting that they stay indefinitely without pay?

Or, if you are saying that they shouldn't stay even for a day, even in the face of an emergency, then I disagree. Even if they don't have a legal obligation to do so, I respect those who would, like this worker. And I would prefer to work along such people as colleagues, trusting that if they could help it, they wouldn't leave their team in the lurch.

I don't like the idea that complete lack of trust and hairtrigger hostility should be the default mode of workforce participation.

I'm not sure why "we might be in trouble." I'm certainly not the target for this. I maybe go out to one or two movies a year and cost really doesn't have anything to do with it.

Pretty much any subscription plan has to be priced for fairly heavy users--and there are people for whom going out to a movie a week is pretty common. You probably don't subscribe to HBO if you flip it on once a month (though admittedly that sometimes seems to be the case for me).
I've been able to have plenty of project, engineering, and technical influence in companies while not technically being in charge of anything. In fact, I prefer it this way. I don't like day to day managing, and I like the freedom to pick which problems I'm thinking about. And since I have zero care for getting any credit, I'm not threatening anyone and I stay outside the power fights.

There's a several thousand year old story about this.

Some junior executives joined a large multi-national corporation. While still in their training, they saw some process improvements wanted to make in their own areas.

They asked their friendly local VP if they could make the changes. He said "If this goes wrong, the CEO will blame me, not you. Heck no."

So then they asked their immediate boss they could do a small, ten day trial run with the new process, and metrics that lined up with what their immediate boss was managing for. He, seeing little risk, and potential upside, gave the go ahead for the trial.

The new method worked out great, was rolled out to the whole rest of the training department, and everybody was happy.

- Some people's primary management objective is to not get in trouble with their boss. They do this by reducing uncertainty to the point they actively work against positive change, because it adds uncertainty. These aren't the people you want to be asking permission from.

- A lot of times, people low in the org chart have the actual authority. As long as you are friends with them, and don't make them look bad with the stuff you do, you can get away with a lot of improvement.

- Good ideas need good packaging. You really need to express them in frame of reference of the person or people who are making the decisions. If you are dealing with someone with profit and loss responsibility, frame your solution in terms of making more money or spending less, if you are dealing with a person with schedule responsibility, frame it in terms of reducing variability. Don't frame your problems in developer terms unless you are dealing with a developer who is actively programming.

- You can do a whole lot more experimentation if you can keep the cost of failure lower.

- Most people in a large company never really think about the big picture of the company. If you do, and can clearly express how your ideas fit into them, you can have a big impact. Often when you've really done your thinking and found the solution to a problem, you'll hear your ideas repeated by people all over the company. You don't even have to fight the fight.
Yeah, you could easily argue (as I've had many, many bosses do) that the final version is objectively worse as it's doubtful that it will save as much time as it cost to develop (and debug - I doubt he got it right on the first pass!) and will drive in ongoing maintenance: the first version is simple and easy to understand (but inefficient) while the final version is almost impenetrable unless you read through the whole blog post, which is probably not part of source code control.
"Borrowed" might be strong.

We don't know how strong the relationship between these companies is. One possibility is that Bitfinex wants to allow customers to immediately withdraw any USD deposits to other exchanges that accept Tether-USD. If that is the case, then effectively all deposits into Bitfinex are immediately "sold" to Tether in exchange for Tether-USD. That would mean that Bitfinex does not have any USD at all. Therefore the balance of USD in Tether's bank accounts would include all Bitfinex deposits.

Except for the opacity involved, nothing here would actually be misleading or obviously unethical; whether it is illegal is another question.
> You're implying that technology won't be able to increase productivity

A component of which is the observation that real production growth has been essentially zero since the 1980s. So clearly you can have technological advances without any productivity growth.

> Human population grows exponentially, earth has finite resources. Constant population growth is suicidal.

Not nearly as suicidal as population decline, obviously.

More nuanced, there are plenty of species, and races within species, that refuse to have their population grow. It doesn't end well.

Synergy used to be great, the original developers really knew what they were doing, but since then it's been taken over by a commercial developer that seems to have no interest in making a good product and far more interest in charging money for it and licensing - more bugs are introduced with every release, clipboard support is half-broken on Linux for years, the Synergy 2.0 release now causes my mouse to continuously leave my screen while gaming even when locked and random restarts of the service and jumping back to the middle of the screen are far too common. I have to revert back to a very specific version to make Synergy work acceptably and I'm reliant on it for my daily workflow.

Worst part is I actually paid them money for it hoping they'd have fixed it by now...

It is possible though that he was wired a certain amount of money from a off shore account tied to a fund, practically untraceable, or paid in crypto.

Part of that payment though probably includes something like, if caught, you have to give a made up reason for doing it, or otherwise your family won't get the money... or worse things may happen to your family.

This kind of stuff is real and does happen. With the kind of money at play here, people will do anything. It's the old mafia style in the modern era.

They used to run this "dorm" at 1080 Folsom in SF; but eventually got out of that business.

I remember once I was at one of their presentations. At the end of the presentation, men and women were paired up for a round of stroking. Of course, men outnumbered the women. So one of the organizers called up the dorm at 1080 Folsom (which was right around the corner) and told them to "send more women". And soon, a bunch of women showed up, ready to be stroked...

Once they had my number, they'd call me endlessly, selling some "retreat" or the other, for $$$. No thanks!

I've lost touch with them over the last couple of years, but it's a sex-addiction cult, if I were to label it.
