C++ grammar is undecidable [0]. The solution? Throwing your hands up and giving up on writing C++ compilers is certainly not the solution. Compiler writers just limit template instantiation depth making the compiler reject some correct programs.

Case normalization is it's own minefield in Unicode.

This article discusses some of the challenges:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6162484/why-does-modern-...

In the first section points 16, 22, and 23 are relevant, in the second section look at points 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 40.

Sorting based on Unicode strings is tricky, especially if you want cross platform compatibility. It's better today but there are still a lot of edge cases to consider if you have any hope of getting the same sort twice from "interesting" data.
Hi, Guys!

Would you like to work remotely in a way that that product offers?

What do you think about the product?
This is the technique I used and the reasoning was the same. I can safely switch off my phone and leave it at home in the morning and focus on working out because no-one is going to call me at 5am. Also, no-one is going to arrange a meeting with me at that time of the day.

After having some success in the gym using this technique, I decided to try it for my studies. I enrolled for a 3-year IT qualification and managed to finish it in record time while working a full-time job and running a profitable side project.

I was doing 5 modules every semester. Every weekday when I wake up, first thing I did, was taking a shower and study for an hour, then go to work. I was studying just one module per day.

This year, I am planning to study further using same technique. I always recommend this technique for people who think they don't have time to do X. The best time to do X is always first thing in the morning when there are no distractions.

The article claims that the drugs are grown for sale into out of state black markets, so legalization is having an impact, but it will need to be legalized federally to put the illegal grows out of operation.
> it's hard to draw a clear and reasonable line between "life that is acceptable to eat" and "life that is not acceptable to eat".

How about the line between "life that will likely suffer when prepared for us to eat" and "life that will likely not suffer when prepared for us to eat"?
Ask HN: Startup salaries in London, UK?
Hi HN-ers,

Just wondering if what’s a good salary range for seniors/juniors front-end/back-end/full-stack engineers, UI/UX, testers, etc in London? I’m hoping to get to a realistic number that I can then request for investment.

I am also curious about how fast I can build a team - like it is relatively simple to hire and onboard fairly quickly? We have a project that we would like to start building relatively quickly.

A relative of mine began developing hand tremors around a year or so ago. I got a LiftWare spoon for her as a birthday gift, and it has been absolutely amazing in letting her eat cereal for breakfast again. This is apparently a new highlight of her of life, much to my surprise hahah.

Funny thing that such a small thing was what she missed the most, but I guess it’s always the little things in life that make the biggest impact.
Probably because it's a single guy running a small forum for a 70 man guild in a spaceship MMO. Why would anybody in that situation expect to get a GDPR request? Especially when it's clear the person in question is just bullying the forum owner.

They shouldn't, but it's not their problem.

If I, as the prince of Princeton, was to pass a law that each time one of my subjects visits your website, you must pay me $1, you'd think that's mad. And you'd be right - since you're not bound by Princeton laws.

The EU is claiming that sites in other countries are bound by EU laws - and that's just as wrong as if Princeton passed the laws.
> Plus, I have yet to see the evidence that colleges provide this virtuous yet intangible quality of non-economically beneficial "wholesome" education.

The biggest performance dilemma I noticed upon entering college is basic literacy. I saw most people reading at a 9th grade level, which is average for most Americans, and struggle to write a 2 page paper. That 2 page paper was hardly competent once written.

The problem was so pronounced that in order to be awarded graduation of a bachelor's degree you had to take and pass a writing competency test at any time during your undergraduate education.

In the real world, as a software developer, the biggest barrier I see to the success of many developers is basic literacy. I see so many people who cannot communicate at a professional level. They struggle to reason about the problems they encounter and struggle further to put their thoughts into words that a make sense to an outside party.

Most developers I have ever worked with spend their entire careers struggling with a variety of concerns that ultimately (when you remove the bullshit and excuses) boil down to struggles of basic code literacy. I suspect we have all encountered this when everything is an argument of code style, spaces vs tabs, OOP vs functional, and so forth. Code literacy is the difference between thinking in terms of algebra (instructions) versus thinking in terms of calculus (process). When you are literate you form visions of what you want and simply build the vision accordingly.

As somebody who rewrote their personal application from scratch last year (about 40,000 lines of code with minimal boilerplate) while also working for two separate employers and having a spouse and kids I really don't have patience for people who fill their time with literacy bullshit. As somebody currently deployed with the time military to a conflict zone this is the thing I dread most about returning to the corporate world.

Holy shit people. Pick up a damn book and read. How you communicate will influence how you write code.
Just as a general note to those coming after me.

I assume virtually everyone knows but I'll be pedantic anyway: if one wants to reduce the number of animals killed, the milk industry not immune. A cow's natural lifespan is 18-22 years (according to google). The average lifespan of a dairy cow is 4-6 years. A dairy cow has between 2-4 calves in that time. Only 1 is needed for replacement, meaning that for each dairy cow in the herd, you kill a calf every second year. Unfortunately it is not economically viable to slaughter dairy cows for meat (the meat is distributed in a non-efficient fashion on dairy cows). A cow produces about 8,800 litres of milk in a year (which is unbelievable to me), though only when calving. So the number of litres of milk per dead calf is about 5-7,000 (give or take -- it's the middle of the night so someone should better check my math ;-) ). It's surprisingly efficient, but not free.
Indeed. This is a protection we should all really have, and there's no real reason you should be unwilling to tell a person what information you are storing on them.
That's true, here it could be sufficient.

Sure, it might be hard. But my point is that it can't be harder than paying the debt itself. Debt forgiveness does not leave you in a worse position unless your marginal tax rate is more than 100%, which is vanishingly rare.

I think the leap to eugenics there is not warranted. Eugenics is about enforced selective breeding. Enforcement being the key. Imagine you are tall and want a child that is also tall and so actively seek out a tall partner. That's obviously not engaging in eugenics, but an enforced prohibition on short individuals procreating would indeed be eugenics.

I would very much oppose any government ever enforcing genetic criterion on a mass level. But I see no qualms about individuals themselves having genetic preferences. Your argument might be that well nobody would want somebody with [undesirable trait x] so it would exclude these individuals from the collective gene pool, yet we see in real life that that's not how things work. Being short is not very desired, is genetically linked, and is immediately visible. Yet in spite of all of that, in practice it in no way stops people from living great lives, raising families, and finding great partners.

Yeah, the problem with the driving apps is the damn greed. They could have made an improved taxi service where people still payed a fair amount and in exchange you get a pleasant, on demand taxi (without the credit card machine being “broken”).

But they didn’t just want to compete with taxi. They wanted more. They wanted everyone to use their service. How do you do that? Offer it cheaper and pass the responsibility to the driver. If Uber and Lyft has stayed humble they could have had profit, happy workers and happy riders. Instead they wanted billions.
> the underlying differences are deep-rooted enough

Although I'm not one of the other replies, I do think I'd actually disagree on this point. I used to feel the same way like GP (and still do, to some extent), but my view has definitely softened after learning more. After being presented with some ethical dilemma's, and seeing descriptions of how we actually treat animals, I found out I actually can be affected by the suffering of animals - just not to the same scale.

In other words: even though it might feel like a fundamental disagreement, I've experienced that there can still be room for your opinion to change to at least move somewhat in the other direction.
Absolutely fascinating, I never knew these existed, thank you.
People are afraid of eugenics and it’s antiquated association to Nazis, but humans practice eugenics everyday.

We select people who are most likely to be within our social class, we select based on appearance and intelligence (and thus, earning potential) or things like height and fertility.

Because genes make up who we are, nearly every filter we create is somehow tied to a person’s genetics. Eugenics doesn’t have to be barbaric and racist.

I’m not calling for genetic based dating to be forced on everyone, or to become law. I’m simply calling for a platform to be built that allows people to come together based on desirable genes and give them the best chance of making genetically gifted children. We owe it to future generations.

Someday, when the technologies are ready and I have more money, I would be glad to form a team and take a shot at building this platform, if someone else hasn’t beaten me to it.

I think people are aware of this. The idea is as the upgrade cycle takes longer, people will still upgrade to the latest and greatest when they do upgrade. The other assumption is that the phone upgrade cycle will still be faster than laptops at steady state.
Keep in mind "corp" is just a guild in this particular video game. Likely they just have a free/low cost forum page with some minimal aethetic modifications.

Had to check this wasn't an alt account I didn't remember creating. This is me. Everyone complains I turn up to standup at 10am eating. For me I've been awake for 5.5 hours and had breakfast 5 hours ago, I'm hungry alright.

It took me a long time to get in the rhythm for this, the first few weeks I slept in more than I like to admit, and mostly it was because I couldn't admit I needed to go to bed closer to 9pm than midnight. Once I got into that habit the rest falls into place.

Now it's not unusual for me to roll into bed after a night out at 3am and at 4.30 or 5am I'm awake and having an argument with my body about what time I'm getting out of bed.
Jurisdiction is a tricky concept in cases like these where we are dealing with digital content.

AggregateIQ could have ignored the GDPR-request, ignored any rulings and keep chugging along as long as they stuck to Canada (assuming Canada was not going to side with the EU).

In short, if you're not in the EU, do not care about EU and never will, you can largely ignore the GDPR. Same as if some banana republic dictator declares you persona non grata - if you never intend to visit and otherwise have no business in that country, who cares?

The difference is that the EU is not a banana republic (opinions may vary), and so many choose to respect and accept this their judgement in cases like this to stay on good terms.
Your legal concept isn't valid.

Hacker News can comply with GDPR today and choose not to comply the next day. They forfeit nothing in the process of selectively abandoning GDPR, in regards to being governed by US law and not EU law.

If my company is located in the US and only governed by US jurisdiction (eg I do not operate in the EU in any manner), there's no such concept as admitting the EU has jurisdiction over my company and granting the EU new global powers (such that I can provide the EU jurisdictional reach into the US so that it overrules or competes with US law). That isn't my decision to make if I operate inside the US jurisdiction. The US solely decides jurisdiction within its zone of political control. That is, the US has the final say legally in all regards in that case. I could choose to voluntarily comply with GDPR, however the EU has zero power to force me to. I can flip flop back and forth a thousand times, or not, it makes no difference.

If you ever find yourself wondering about these concepts, change the scenario to China. Under what scenario does the EU or US have power to dictate laws within China? None. It provides a perfect clarification every time. Nobody could possibly be confused about who is in charge of law within China.
It's very expensive, it has a ton of horsepower, and it's literally named "Pro". If it's purpose it just light browsing and watching netflix then it feels like a bit of a waste.
You're being downvoted because you're missing the point, and trying to argue semantics.

Yes, of course, by the number of individual ingredient options, keeping meat out is a "subset" in the strictest of mathematical definitions, but that is a largely useless argument.

The point is, while this is changing a lot in the US coasts for example, in most other places in the US (and even worse in parts of Europe I've travelled to), the dishes that are actually vegetarian (contain only ingredients derived from vegetables or spices), are a VERY small subset, usually side dishes.

But in Indian cuisine (and probably Ethiopian as the other poster stated), you could have just as much of a variety of dishes that are just made from vegetables, that you wouldn't grow tired of eating mashed potatoes, green beans, and salads.
I bet they must pay with put options to keep attracting new talent!
If you offer your services on the Internet, and someone chooses to use them from the EU, that does not mean you "offer your services in the EU".

Or do you plan to make all of your web services "respect" the laws of 200+ countries in the world, and for that matter all the sub-jurisdictions of those countries (such as states or provinces or cities) that have their own laws? The EU is not special in that regard, they're just one more jurisdiction that the service isn't hosted in.
Isn't it one of the reason limiting the power of static analysis and force us to use dynamic analysis to get certain information about the correctness of our programs ?
If you like Puerto Rico you are probably past the gateway stage. Similarly strategic games I can recommend

- Concordia, 5 players. 6 with Venus expansion.
- Lords of Waterdeep. 5 players. 6 with expansion iirc
- Istanbul. 5
- Power Grid. 6.
- Dominant Species. 6.
- Eclipse. 6.
- Dead of Winter. 5.
- Tiny Epic Galaxies. 5. Filler game.
- Agricola. Current edition is 4. 6 with expansion.
- 7 wonders. Up to 8 iirc.
- Scythe. 5. 6 with expansion.
- Viticulture. 5.
- Pandemic. 5.

Just stick to the top 100 until you know what you like. Anything in the top 100 is good even it’s not particularly to your taste. You’ll get a good taste of what makes a good game.

But once you have a good idea, you’ll find games you enjoy in the top 1000 or so.

leave juice out in an area with yeast (so... almost anywhere) and the juice will ferment. You'll get more alcohol faster if you dump in some yeast (even the stuff for making bread would work, if we are trying to do this without anything designed to make alcohol)

It probably will be super gross at this point, but will get you drunk.

Search amazon for 'countertop water distiller' for under a hundred bucks, they'll ship you a "countertop water distiller" - run your spoilt juice through that thing a few times, and i'm not saying it will be good vodka; it won't... but it will be mostly alcohol, and it will be something you could probably choke down when mixed with something that tastes strong enough.

I mean, making booze that tastes good, that's an art. but if you just wanna get drunk? Probably easier than making decent bread.

It is very doubtful there is any need to search posts. The data are still necessary for the purpose they were originally collected, and there is also a archiving exception which may apply.

If I was them I would just send the person their login profile and delete that from the site. Everything else is excepted, including backups which are kept for security.

A good community example to look at is Wikipedia. I will star to worry if and when I see them start deleting profiles and articles. Until then I see this kind of articles like a bit of scared interpretation of how nations might implement and apply GDPR.
If you run a website, is "not blocking users from the EU" considered as providing services in the EU?

I am genuinely curious because in that case GDPR seems to impact many companies disregarding whether they actually do any business here.
The difference between “binary” and “text” files
Corp (guild) forums are an important part of EVE and preferred over posting news and operations on Discord for example since you can set it up to serve unique texts to each user, making it easier to find them if they leak to other corps, and hidden changes in the website that will give it away in case the corp news leak by screenshot.

Mail is probably going to be a big precedent. Everything from play by mail chess to ordering from Sears will have to be considered.
Credit specialist
I feel so excited working with REPAIR WIZARD a devoted and God fearing credit specialist. My name is Shania Dorado and I live in Florida, just early last year I had an eviction, bankruptcy, judgment and some couple of late payments on my report and my score was 520. However I searched online for help on a credit forum and I found this specialist that was well spoken on this recommended site Reddit , then I contacted him on REPAIRWIZARD4@GMAIL.COM ; +1 520 441 6516. After few info about my report he came through deleting the above mentioned situation and increased my score to 797. Precisely, he told me that my score will never drop till further notice, having him by my side this New Year is a great thing of joy so I recommend him to anyone here who needs his help if you want a good credit report and score.
As much as I like the idea of "right to be forgotten", it seems to me that an unintended consequence is that non-technical people hosting forums/blogs etc. will be at risk of GDPR requests that they cannot comply with due to lack of technical skills. This will have a silencing effect for people wanting to operate non-profit sites as they won't be able to afford to comply with such requests. They will be forced to either shutdown, or be in breach of law.

Perhaps some people will say "good, if you cannot run a site conforming to all laws of the land then you should shutdown". If you think that, consider this: as these laws pile up it will get more and more difficult to operate, leaving only the very tech/law savvy, and big business.

This is not the democratization of information that the web promised oh so many years ago.

On a semi-related note: if you are a small SASS operator wanting to comply with such requests, what are you meant to do about your DB backups that contain data that is meant to be forgotten?

Interesting. We’ve recently found we weren’t doing anything but endless scrolling on Netflix and then going over to actually watch something on Hulu. So we cancelled our subscription.
