Not sure why this is voted down as Paris intramuros is quite walkable as you said. With a velib (Paris municipal rental bike) you can probably go from South to North in 30-40 minutes.

As you say there is quite a lot of architectural diversity already (I e.g. loved strolling through the Quartier Latin and discovering small side streets and different architectural patterns in buildings and neighborhoods), they just had more consistent city planning as compared to other cities (IMHO) so the differences are not as stark as e.g. in most US cities.

There are many high rises outside of the boulevard peripherique (the ring motorway separating inner and outer Paris), it’s just that most tourists never go there.

Also, many people live in the suburbs that are served by the RER lines, and these have a large degree of variety in both density and style. I suggest visiting e.g. Antony or Gif Sur Yvette (and The Valley of Chevreuse in general) to get an entirely different feeling of the larger Paris area.

Personally I don’t know what the city planners could reasonably do to increase the density of the city without destroying its character, as Paris intra muros is really fully developed already without virtually any empty space whatsoever (contrary to e.g Berlin where even today there’s tons of empty space even in the very center).

I’m not sure if increasing the density is always a good idea as well, as it doesn’t suffice to add more housing but you will have to scale all other required services as well (schools, supermarkets etc.) so growing the city outwards might be better (as area grows quadratically with radius).

BTW the uniformity of the buildings in Paris also stems from a regulation that requires most buildings to have black metal window sills in front of every window.
GNU readline gives the option to provide custom stdio streams.

rl_{in,out}stream. You can use fdopen to get a stdio stream from a fd (socket for example). This can be problematic if not done correctly (buffering & stuff). Official documentation has more info on all this.

You can also fork+dup2+pipe/pty and use stdin/out on the forked process.
I've gone through few web pages and videos on YouTube and I'm 100% sure that my sleeping position is just wrong. Basically I'm kind of 'twisted' - upper part is lying on side but hips and below are like lying on stomach. So even if my spine problem is not caused by that (I think it is), I want to learn proper sleeping position to avoid that factor now or in the future.

Introduction to ASP.NET Core SignalR
Not really, in all the years I've been writing Go, only one library used panics for error handling.

Usually if something panics you don't want to handle it. (Other than at the http handler level, where you can just throw an InternalServerError and log the panic)

First and foremost, you can usually assume libraries won't panic, though it would be nice to have a tool (grep) to check for explicit panics.
What's the point of building taller if you just increase the street width so total livable area per ground area is the same? That's nonsensical. Of course people will have to live with shadow. It's the only way to increase density (unless you want people to live in basements).
One is a hardware solution with a built in hosted software library, the other is pure software so I don't think you can really compare.

For completeness sake: the confusing part is that there is (used to be) a constant-length encoding that uses the exact same codepoints as UTF-16, but doesn't allow the variable-length extensions. That encoding is called UCS-2 and although deprecated, is the reason why many people think UTF-16 is constant-length.

> Remember: Magicians are allowed to lie

There was a magician on "Penn & Teller: Fool Us" recently who told an interesting lie. His lie was that he was doing a trick.

His "trick" involved snatching the right card out of a fast falling stream of cards, with the stream going fast enough that it seems impossible beyond the ability of a human to use counting or timing to pinpoint the right card and reach in and grab it.

In fact, he had developed the speed and skill to do just that.

Here's a page from the magician showing how he does it: https://www.kostyakimlat.com/blog/fool-us-magic-trick-reveal...

This is the root of the Go confusion.

The code will indeed still be easily understandable on a line-by-line basis, but larger units (functions, groups of functions, modules) then become harder to read and understand due to large amounts of noise. As you progress along to more advanced, larger codebases, with novice-style code you just pile boilerplate on top of boilerplate.

Larger Go codebases remind me of old versions of Java where they went as far as to embrace all the boilerplate and call it 'design patterns'. It's sad how Go designers recognized that Java code tends to be hard to read and generally bad, but apparently weren't really able to discern why that is. They decided to just blame it all on inheritance and exceptions.

(FTR I'm not advocating for inheritance or exceptions here, but believing that those are the root of Java's problems and simply omitting them will somehow magically make a language better is just naive & shortsighted.)
Why do you need wider streets? Moving people is what the metro is for.
No it wouldn't. There are already built-in generic types like map[K]V and slices. If the Go Team wanted, they could easily add built-ins like option[T] and result[T]. But in Go 1.0 they would stand out like a sore thumb, because the stdlib wouldn't use them.

Maybe for Go 2.0.

It's not true in Georgia Tech, at least in OMSCS. After you finish 10 classes you will have done 20 to 40 projects and as many exams, in addition to homework and papers.

You will at least have a rich gitHub repository if you go through it. If you try your best you will also learn a lot and make connections.

The advantage of a part time masters is that the connections are of a much higher value. During your undergrad you and all your connections will go on the job hunt. In a part time masters some of your connections will be hiring.
Knowing how absurdly insecure any civilian consumer system is (laptop, smart phone, home assistant, self driving car), with zero day fire-and-not-a-drill-at-all advisories, pretty much every month, I don’t get how this sort of thing happens.

I also fail to see how a decision like this could be made:

The CIA had imported the system
from its Middle East operations...

To China? The degree of technical differences between those two regions is so intuitively disparate, that without having been to either, I’d still never estimate that a game plan for one would work in the other.

Cell phones make sense in desert territories with good satellite coverage, and attacking, as much as operating those same cell phones makes sense too, in a volatile atmosphere.

Meanwhile, in China, with world class supercomputing facilities operated at scientific research institutions, one can only safely assume that no amount of cryptography or electronic transmission is safe. Not even one-time pads.

Each seems like it’s own game, with it’s own rules. What a mistake to not approach them differently. It’s like trying to steal cars from a suburban driveway at dinner time, versus a city parking garage during rush hour. A car is not simply a thing with wheels, that rolls away as soon as you can hop inside.
I have only my own body and anecdotes to go on so they may not fit you.

I have always slept on my side or almost stomach. One reason is when I sleep on my back I often get the night terrors (not sure the proper term). It's a thing where my mind snaps awake but not my body and it's as though I'm paralyzed. I hate that so that's one reason I don't sleep in my back.

The other is like you I don't fall asleep easily in my back.

About 10 years ago I got a tempurpedic memory foam mattress and suddenly I could sleep in my back.

After 2 years or so though i got rid of that mattress. it was too hot and it hurt my back in other ways. Something happened to my back such that sleeping on my back will often trigger severe pain that doesn't happen on my side.

one other thing I found is soft beds kill my back. it's a different kind of pain from the severe pain mentioned above. More like all my bones hurt at the joints when I wake up after sleeping on a soft bed. If I'm at a hotel and the bed is too soft I either have to sleep right on the edge of the mattress where it's stiffest or just sleep in the floor.

so recommendation number one. try different mattresses

the other thing that helped my back tremendously is excercise. I can't stress that enough. If I'm lazy and don't excercise for 8-12 days the pain comes back.

no idea if that was helpful.
I was taught to drive like that in The Netherlands by my driving instructor. It is much safer (especially with deliberate bumps to slow you down in a neighbourhood where children play), saves you fuel, and it saves you your brakes. It does cost you a little bit time and this can add up if it means you miss a traffic light due to that but it could also mean that you still get a green light. So in the end, the loss is very little to nothing.
So, it's an automated switchboard?

Blocking Compromised Passwords on PyPI
Can you elaborate a bit on that?
It could be a special-cased builtin like maps and slices and channels.

AFAIK the reason — much like C# — is their adherence to the concept of ubiquitous defaults / zero values: as far as Go is concerned all types have a zero-value (a non-overridable default value when not explicitly initalised), and as far as its community is concerned zero values are a good thing and must be embraced.

First, writing off China isn't that easy. It's a big market and a growth market. Soon it will be the clear number 1. Opting out of china is part way to opting out of being a global business.

2nd is the nature of the best online businesses. The big online cash cows operate on market/niche dominance. A search engine with 5% of Google's search volume does not generate 5% of Google's revenue. Far from it. A social network with 5% of the people you know is a totally different beast to Facebook. An operating system (eg Android) either has a large market share, or it does not have an ecosystem.

Size, market share and such are relevant to these businessess well beyond the simple "economies of scale" rationale. They are not going sacrifice this for "don't be evil."

3rd is that by denying governments, Google & FB would be saying "we're allowed but you aren't."

FB & Google track and use all sorts of customer data for their own commercial reasons. If it is a privacy violation for the Chinese/US government to see/use this data, why is it OK for Google & FB to use this data?

FB decides who should see which article. This is done algorithmically, optimizing for FBs goals. "Old media" had a code of journalistic ethical guidelines, justifying content decisions. FB does not. Why is it OK to widely circulate a (for example) totally false article in order to achieve FBs commercial goals, but not to achieve the Chinese governments "societal harmony" goals?

The NYT could answer that question. They'd have journalistic ethic reasons for not allowing governments to influence content. FB can't. It doesn't.

Btw, what is true for China is true for other countries too with variations and degrees.

“A little background: In 1989, the EPA tried to ban asbestos outright, under a 1976 law called the Toxic Substances Control Act. The phased prohibition was overturned by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 1991, and the agency succeeded in halting only six then-obsolete uses of asbestos, including corrugated paper and flooring felt.

So the June rule ensures that any U.S. companies who want to use asbestos in all its nonbanned uses—products like reinforced plastics, millboard, floor tiles, and roofing felt—are subject to EPA review. As the EPA points out, without the June rule, any company could start importing or processing asbestos for floor tiles whenever it wanted. (Note: You can still comment on this rule through the Federal eRulemaking Portal until Friday.)”

To the business world, open source is just a business calculation and HR really doesn't care about it except when it's useful as a recruiting tool. The same is true of hiring decisions and open education. Degrees from well known universities are part of a cost/benefit/cover-your-ass strategy in hiring decisions so when open education has proven itself to the degree that open source software has, then it will be as widely accepted.
> That's only your opinion of what it means '[to be] bloomberg'.

No. It's a matter of fact. He works for bloomberg. He gets paid by bloomberg. Hence it is bloomberg. Now if it was an non-bloomberg employee wrote an op-ed piece for bloomberg, nytimes or any other publication, then you would be correct.

> But unless you do, I'll stick with the definition of an oped[1], and that Matt Levine himself took the job because Bloomberg gave him the creative freedom to write what he'd like to write in the manner that he likes to write.

Right. He works for bloomberg. He represents bloomberg. He is a bloomberg employee.

> [1]"An op-ed ... is a written prose piece typically published by a newspaper or magazine which expresses the opinion of a named author usually not affiliated with the publication's editorial board." (wiki)

That's my point. Matt Levine is affiliated with the editorial board. He is affiliated with the founder of bloomberg itself - michael bloomberg, who pretty much handpicked his op-ed staff. You do realize that michael bloomberg himself writes op-eds for bloombergview right? Are you saying that doesn't represent bloomberg?

Yes. If an op-ed is written by Dimon or Tim Cook or anyone not affiliated with bloomberg, then you are right. It isn't bloomberg. But someone who works for bloomberg writing an op-ed is bloomberg.

Hope that clears it up for you.

I don't think environmentalists are nearly as capable of throwing a wrench on nuclear energy development as you say. Seems to me like the real issue here is that if nuclear energy is pushed as the go to modern day energy source, than global politics would be that much harder for the develop nations that "rule" the others.

The US has a very clear agenda of freezing the status quo in the nuclear weapons club, they are not accepting new entries at this time. If nations pursue nuclear technology for energy reasons, that is more than enough to get the stare down from the club.

There is even specialized cyber weaponry designed exclusively to sabotage nuclear enrichment equipment.
Per game. Still it is a weird design choice for something where you need a lot of people to move at the same time. They need to decrease the distance of the skates, chain them together or get bigger ones. Automatic people movers are nothing new, but if this is what it takes for the US to be excited about infrastructure then I am all for it. Half of the utility if these types of systems tends to be in the overall design though. The interior of the vehicles, the location and design of the terminus, how long you have to wait etc.

Ask HN: Easiest way to get into modern C++?
After a couple of months of learning and using Rust i am interested in learning modern C++. Now daily i mainly work in PHP and sometimes in Kotlin. Over my career i have mostly used high level languages and now i want to get into the more low level stuff so i can work on projects i have never worked before ( embedded, game dev etc).

I am interested in the easiest and quickest level to get into modern C++. Now i know C++ takes years to get into but what i am hoping to get is a resource that i can quickly skim over a couple of days and then feel comfortable enough to go do some projects with a lot of googling and trial and error.

Lately i prefer courses and videos over books because i don't want to spend 300+ pages on a book that can be said in a couple of hours in video but i am open for anything.

The term is sleep paralysis. It's why I rarely sleep on my back as well, for some reason I'm also more prone to suffer from it when I sleep on my side.

If I remember correctly, this approach breaks if stdin/out is redirected.

There's also some funky stuff about explicit AllocConsole-allocated consoles; for example, when you attach a native debugger, all output from such console is automatically redirected to that debugger (i.e. the VS Output window or similar). This is very annoying in practice.
Wow, that must be one of the most enticing endorsements I have ever read. I am definitely checking this out soon. (Physicist by training, now working with deep learning)
Well, it helped that doing anything other than lying on my back triggered absolutely massive waves of pain. So I didn't really have a choice. I recommend taking a sleep aid beforehand and following all the usual advice for insomnia - avoid screens, read a book, lower the lights.

Seattle tried to build the largest-diameter highway tunnel ever constructed, digging through a bunch of century-old fill material used to extend the shoreline with an enormous, one-of-a-kind tunnel boring machine. The tunnel was eventually completed, after years of delay, and WSDOT is currently building out a double-decker, multi-lane highway within its shiny new monster tunnel.

At the same time as this boondoggle megaproject was going on, Seattle also built five ordinary subway tunnels for its light rail network, using the same bog-standard railway-sized TBMs which have been used successfully all over the world for years, and these projects were completed on time and within budget.

The premise of the Boring Company is that useful transportation infrastructure can be accomplished more cheaply by constructing even smaller, simpler tunnels with standardized tunneling machines. Their tunnels are literally just concrete tubes with concrete floors, and they are saving even more money by skipping the enormously expensive underground stations necessary with a traditional subway by using "skates" small enough to be shuttled back to the surface in an elevator.

The Seattle project was enormously ambitious; the Boring Company plan is clearly designed to be as boring as possible.
