Do they have a new version based on lambdas? The syntax of that is painful. I splatter my code with this:

// WTFPL
class Finally {
std::function<void()> f;
public:
Finally(std::function<void()> f) : f{f} {}
~Finally() {f();}
void disable() { f = [](){}; }
};

Which looks much prettier:

socket* s = open_socket(); // or whatever
Finally cleanup_socket{[](){ close_socket(s);}};

// optionally, to keep it alive:
cleanup_socket.disable();

Am typing on mobile. No guarantees about syntax errors. I still need to look into where the right places to put r value references and/or std::move are, but for the most part, I never put anything other than a pointer in the closure so I'm not worried about copy constructor cost.
Wow, I am sorry to hear that. I am more interested in differentiable physics than differentiable rendering; it seems promising for training controllers for animated game characters or even real-world robots with transfer learning. I might try my hand at it but I think there is a whole literature on rigid body dynamics that I would have to read up on first.

I would be interested to hear if you have ideas for specific application areas that would be feasible to tackle as a startup. Animated game characters is the best I've got but I'm not sure it's worth millions.

Let's take the Uber Eats example. You think that restaurants owe Uber money for simply being present on their platform (necessary for survival these days for restaurant owners). But Uber doesn't owe restaurants anything?

It's not investments that are the problem. It's the way whole professions are "enslaved" by investors who simply make a pile of money, scale things up and build a portal, which then becomes the new market leader.

(Of course, if you keep thinking inside the box of the free-market, then you will think this is all ok, but that is not the point).

Scenario #1: Installing kubernetes, helm and then installing your app

1. Spend maybe 2-3 full days install kubernetes, helm

2. Spend maybe 3-4 hours installing your app through helm because you're new to installing things in kubernetes.

3. The next app that you want to install on your server is only 20 minutes away, now that you understand how kube and helm work.

Scenario #2:

1. Install app directly on server, hunt down dependencies and other weird things, probably takes 1 day at least, to do the whole installation.

2. The next app that you want to install will take the same amount of time again.

I'd go with Scenario #1 as it is more scalable if I want to install more apps on my server.
I wondered the same - if we are going to have QUIC over UDP, why not SCTP over UDP (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6951)?

I did a quick read on the subject and main argument for QUIC seems to be zero roundtrip session establishment - using TLS session resumption. SCTP uses a 4-way handshake.

Yep, and from the link:

The Supreme Court has defined market power as "the ability to raise prices above those that would be charged in a competitive market,"(8) and monopoly power as "the power to control prices or exclude competition."

Those are the tests you need to pass to take action. And measuring that is a highly academic exercise.

Just go talk to the economics professors and consultants that act as experts in those cases.

A few months ago I was walking alone in the park when I saw a bright light moving in strange patterns in the sky. It scared the pants off of me.

For about a day my mind was nothing but paranoid thoughts. I had fear that I had seen something that I shouldn't have. That not only extraterrestrial life was real, but that they knew of my existence and would be coming for me. Or perhaps they were coming for all of us. I was a mess.

And sure, it was probably a drone. Or a plane. Or a shooting star, etc. But was it? I couldn't shake the thought that it wasn't.

It sounds hilariously silly now, but at the time it really screwed with my mental state.

Man A (ATC?): There's nothing showing on either primary or secondary

Woman A: Ok, it was moving so fast. [Inaudible]

Man A: Alongside you?

Woman A: Yes, it was rapidly [inaudible] bright light and then it just disappeared at a very high speed. I am still wondering.
Didn't think it was likely collision course. Wondering what sort it could be.

Man B: Meteor or another object. Some kind of re-entry. Seem to be multiple objects following the same sort of trajectory. Very bright where we were

Woman B (ATC?): Ok, that's copy, so what's the direction it was going in.

Man B: Virgin 76 [inaudible] saw that NRS 11-o'clock position two bright lights.

Woman B: Roger that's copy, thank you.

Man C: So that wasn't just me?

Man B: No. Yeah, very interesting, that one.

Man B: Virgin 76. I saw two bright lights 11 o'clock. Seem to bank over to the right and then climb away. Speed at least Mach [inaudible]

Woman B: Okay, we're passing that on, thank you.

Man D (or is it Man A?): [inaudible] 94 Shannon.

Man D: Just to let you know that other aircrafts in the area have also reported the same thing. So we're going to have a look and see.

Man E: Speed was astronomical. It was like Mach 2.

Man D: Roger, OK. Thank you.

Just like my dash cam footage probably. You wouldn't go back and watch it unless something interesting happened.
I could also imagine aliens that might see in different light spectrums and our visible light spectrum is 'dark' to them, like how we would perceive infrared, microwaves, or radio waves without giving a second thought as to whether or not something unknown might be able to sense that random spectrum emissions. Maybe they see in microwave range, maybe they use the light spectrum much like we use our radio spectrum and just blindly broadcast it in mass quantity as line-of-sight communication technology. Maybe it is used as a scanner/detector beam source, like how we might x-ray rock samples or something to determine composition.

But beyond something crazy like that, yeah it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be spewing light as an alien visitor.

The website itself doesn't seem to take that too seriously.

For example, it loses scroll position when navigating:

* go there from HN
* scroll down a bit
* press the Back button in the browser to go back to HN
* press the Forward button in the browser to go to the site again
* you are now scrolled the very top again, instead of where you scrolled to

Tested in curren Chrome and Firefox on Linux.

Also note how HN doesn't have this problem, it will remember your scroll position so you can continue reading where you left off.

Good point, but counterpoint is: assets.

Eating a diet of meat probably does make you feel good. Especially in the morning and at lunch, the fats will keep you full all day so you’ll eat less garbage (e.g. Diet Coke as mentioned in the article). That’s not to say it won’t have some serious repercussions down the line, but I would be it does create a sort of local optimum that may be better than the average American artificial diet.
The political battle lines in the United States are about things so elemental and fundamental that no compromise is possible and none should be considered. One 'side' is perfectly content to pillory people of color at every opportunity, demonize desperate refugees from a conflict the United States itself caused, send armed thugs into people's homes to kidnap their children, protect a law enforcement apparatus that brutalizes with impunity, push racist pseudoscience, and shelter out-and-out white supremacists.

When one side fundamentally rejects your humanity, you naturally don't have any room to compromise, and you don't have any time for the smug, ignorant centrism of people who are isolated from the consequences of the political struggle.

You might be surprised at the popularity of "Slow Television" [0], which televises the long journeys of trains, cruise ships, etc. It is apparently quite popular in Norway and growing elsewhere. Add some potential UFOs to the mix, and who knows where it might go?

It's not really a one-or-the-other kinda deal. It's not a fork in the road. Acceptance of things you cannot change isn't an opt-out whilst it is possible to opt out of trying to change things that you could change if you tried. But accepting things out of your control IS a change in itself.

Make an effort to discard the anger, bitterness, and confusion that results from "things you cannot change" and you'll probably find it easier to focus on the things you can change.

Whether it's interesting or not doesn't (shouldn't) really factor into improving one's long-term mental health.
Based on http://default.sfplanning.org/zoning/zoning_map.pdf - how would this achieve the density of a RM2 - RM4, or RC-3 to RC-4?

In much of this area ( https://www.nickmcummins.com/index.php/2016/08/08/population... or https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-qmJMXOTT0B8/UrxtTiDlk4I/A... ) we're talking about densities in excess of 50,000 people per square mile. I don't see that being practical when one factors in things like sidewalks and roads without building up - which works against the mini house idea presented.
But it does mean that the worst that can happen to you is that you stop being invited to the cool parties. In particular, when all is said and done, you'll have a stable job.
There is also a possibility of these bright balls of light actually being terrestrial lifeforms of some sort.
A similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago, I was so freaked out by it that I downloaded and paid for an app that showed satellite positions. Turns out...my rational side was right, it was indeed a satellite in low orbit, giving it the appearance of a fast speed and a very bright disposition. It was still a weird experience. There were two satellite actually.

As for what this was? Honestly it sounds like people may have seen an air force drill of some military (possibly Russian or US.)
Running without exceptions is one C idiom. RAII, operator-new, and many other C++ features break down without them.
Another option is to buy a pre-configured router from someone like FlashRouters.com (not affiliated, but a customer).

They provide routers with DD-WRT or Tomato pre-installed. Yes, you should probably know how to update your router at some point in the future, but your starting point is probably much safer than depending on the poorly-tested and heavily-exploited factory firmware.

In this case I think the primary reason is to protect the company.

Aardman is probably a fairly hot company right now. Probably prime for a purchase by one of the big studios. But then it would most likely just get broken up and turned into a mill for churning out look-a-like content. Or possibly even just a logo stamped on contracted out content. I believe the founders have been fairly clear in the past about not being interested in selling.

While the founders still own it they can just turn down these offers and stay independent, but soon they are going to retire and will have to give up ownership to someone. And that someone might just decide to take the big payout and sell. So this is their way of ensuring that the company continues to run as it is for the good of the employees. It can now only be sold if the majority of employees vote to accept the sale, and if they do at least they'll also be the ones to get any associated payout not just some profit driven owner.
Perhaps it'd be more interesting for both casual observers and conspiracy theorists alike to assume modern UFOs are not extraterrestrial spacecraft, but clandestine earthly government aircraft.

Maybe they turn on the bright lights to pretend to be aliens, to throw off the scent.
I have no problems with a gigabit symmetrical line on ERLite-3. UniFi Security Gateway is the same hardware but in a nicer interface that works with UniFi APs & Switches if you want to go that route but you have to also host a controller. You can also upgrade to a ER-4 for a much faster CPU but I don't think you need to.

The Dangerous Fetishization of ‘Hustle Porn’
I see your problem (which is btw quite different from your original comment ;-) ). In a statically-typed language like Reason it's difficult to model dynamically-generated types like `hello_proto.Greeter`. One way is to use a functor ( https://v1.realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/functors.html ) but they have their limitations. This is why we have things like graphql_ppx which is a compiler extension to generate types from GraphQL schemas at compile-time. You'd need something like this (or, easier, a ReasonML-targeting gRPC/Protobuf client generator) to solve the issue brought up in GitHub.

I love “private by design”. It was easy to switch and results are good enough. As a publisher I do NOT like the cash donations model - too feudal for me.. I think donating time to improve product - as they are asking - makes more sense. Not sure I see value in them open sourcing their software. In short, I think DDG is great and should keep doing more of what they do.
Once this happened to me with a friend. We were staring at the sky when suddenly a progression of lights started moving quickly across the sky. At first I thought it might be a shower of large meteors about to hit us.

Later on discovered someone had just released a bunch of sky lanterns, something I'd never seen before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_lantern

It can be tricky to judge the distance, speed and size of objects in the sky.

>But it does mean that the worst that can happen to you is that you stop being invited to the cool parties. In particular, when all is said and done, you'll have a stable job.

As a tenured professor, one wants more than a stable job and being invited to cool parties. One wants to attract student researchers, get grants, even find them post doctoral fellowships in other research groups, and in other countries, finally get them jobs. Otherwise, there is no intellectual legacy for one's research program, which is different from the dominant themes in social sciences. That's one way of destroying intellectual competitors in the academic arena.
