I'm another person completely different than the OP the only two installers I'll allow on my machine are Steam and GOG. Why? Because Origin was garbage and EA is a terrible company to support. Ubisoft will not compel new to install a game. Rockstar and their stupid ass community requirements even in single player games have made be never want to play another Rockstar game and wishing I could get a refund on games that backported this to. Steam and GOG worked hard for user trust and built it over years, not by what games they have not but how they've constantly tried to listen to users. You can tell that the people running these companies are games themselves and probably use the same launchers. I can promise you there are people at EA who have never played a video game intentionally in their lives. It's a shame too as there are some really good games in their stables.
dont you want the compiler to do this for you, with ARCH flags? a bit of foresight and a little checking seems like enough.. excessive ASM is a mistake these days

Currently we wire all of our VPCs into a large network to access services, and that brings with it all of the associated security concerns.

I wonder if moving to something like this would allow us to eliminate the global network and let VPCs run in an isolated context save for services published via mesh.
I very well understan that, and unfortunately:

1) not many people see the evil of Facebook's immoral actions

2) not many people (even in here) are aware that they can firewall their Android devices.

He knows his target audience. One generally becomes a billionaire by focusing on self-interest, not altruism.
I've always had a 20% threshold

If anyone is promising a 20% or greater improvement over the current leaders, I immediately file it away as a scam until I see extraordinary proof.

Other than some very immature industries, even 20% leaps don't happen without earth shattering once-in-a-generation breakthroughs.

Some call me a pessimist, and occasionally I'm unfairly dismissive of new technologies. But for every one I get wrong, I get 99 others correct.

Yes... but when the discussion is DONT MAKE 5G because someone may have a condition in their head, you see the difference between your point and the topic at hand right?

I think battery tech needs to be much cheaper for it to really answer peoples’ needs. But I do see the situations you’re describing. A half ton truck can afford a pretty hefty battery pack, weight wise. Budget wise it gets pricy quickly. I wonder what sort of battery could be afforded in a larger chassis that’d normally go for 90k, though.
That's a fair point. It's the reason that I've marked significant whitespace as "experimental" in the documentation. Since the language is in an early stage, I think it's OK to try some slightly more experimental constructs for now. The feature does provide some nice benefits in terms of parsing robustness, which is really noticeable especially when working with live error feedback (i.e. language server, coming soon).

But rest assured, this is very much on my radar! If it turns out to be too much of a pain, I'll remove it (or make it opt in). Fortunately, because of the redundant braces the transition would be seamless: we can just drop the whitespace requirement.

I don't believe con-men should be applauded, no.
I’ve tried Prisma over the last few months, but eventually decided against adopting it in our product because it seems very inflexible when working with many-to-many relationships. In particular, filtering on foreign keys doesn’t seem possible and requires SQL table joins, which (in our case) has an immensely negative performance impact. Also, the query chaining API doesn’t lend itself well to filtering on multiple relationships. Apart from that, the idea seems really cool and I’m sure the project has a great future ahead of it!
I have frequently done whiteboarding, which is different from coding on a whiteboard.

Working through approaches to solving a problem at a high level, or workshopping a schedule for a feature. That sort of thing.

It’s also a decent skill to test someone on if your team uses it and the role requires it. But coding on a whiteboard is pointless, don’t do this to people please.
I apologize if this is too soon to ask this question, or if it comes across as crass given that 346 people are dead because of this failure.

What kind of long term implications could this have for the Aerospace industry in the US? Will we see some fundamental changes in safety oversight, or design, for these aircraft? Is this a "back to the drawing-board" moment for Boeing and the 737?
Steam was building something new. Quite frankly it's harder to build a crappy platform since the space has already been pioneered. No one is hating on GOG Galaxy.

You have a fair point about many gamers having short memories. Many however do not have short memories. I suspect we're older though.
I thought OP had accidentally posted the keywords line.
True, I tend to include Coventry in "the Birmingham area". Birmingham's decline was the result of manufacturing collapse in general, not just the automotive sector. But the city was definitely altered pretty dramatically to suit cars.
Those ad-blocking local VPNs lead to terrible battery life. And nobody can know what they are doing behind the scenes. I agree with Apple blocking them. I just wish they had a public API for developers to offer apps that block the resolution of DNS names, just like they allow ad-blockers in Safari. They already have it, but it is restricted to supervised devices used inside organizations: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/c...
That's a cool algorithm.

The improvements in the article look pretty small between different versions because CPU time is dominated by system calls that are out of my control. If you look at userspace CPU only, the speedup between v1 and v5 is 15x. In other words, the final version uses 15 times less CPU time in userspace. It also uses less CPU in the kernel, but the improvement there isn’t as dramatic (just the openat vs open optimization).

If some clever sorting optimization could yield infinite speedup and would optimize away all loop counters and pointer arithmetics, the overall performance of ListDir v5 would only increase by 3%. v5 is basically all kernel code, there is almost nothing left to optimize algorithm-wise.
Oh my God. Do you live in Atherton or something? I always wondered what it would be like to see this stuff live - the frivolous use of police time. The purse-clutching here is unbelievable.

This reminds me of the Charlie Gard case, and cases like it that seem to happen every year or so, where parents spend months fighting pointlessly in the courts to delay the withdrawal of life support for their already-beyond-saving child. It's distressing every time.
Another story a friends 93 year old grandfather was found unresponsive in his apartment. Rushed to the hospital and they saved his life.

And when he woke up he was utterly pissed because they cheated him out of an easy death. And as a devout Mormon he was done with this world.

One reason why capitalism isn't working is because of market failures on otherwise efficient markets, chief among them are zoning density restrictions that create artificial land scarcity resulting in the high cost of housing and offices in cities such as my own (NYC), but also SF, Boston, DC, Seattle, LA, and London. The zoning density restriction are a form of "rent-seeking" -- the use of politics to take more than one's fare share of wealth creation.

Trump's net worth might be twice as high as it would be in an efficient real estate market -- ironically, it is the Democrats (through running city councils that pass zoning laws) that have made him as wealthy as he is.

In addition, the proportion of funding to state universities have declined with the result that students are getting further into debt.

Many of the "fixes" proposed by others are trying to add a "fix" to a broken economy instead of dealing with fundamental structural problems in the economy caused by market inefficiencies or market failures.

It makes a lot more sense to deal with the causes of the market failures favoring special interest groups first before adding new programs.

For example, Japan solved the rent-seeking issue by instituting federal laws that overrode the local zoning density laws.

The result: in 2014, California built about 90,000 housing units, NYC 20,000, but in Tokyo 140,000.

I believe the people who are programmers and engineers that read HN believe in the approach of fixing the underlying structural problems (to the software or hardware but to economic market) instead of adding kluges of attempting to fix a broken system by not addressing the fundamental issues.
I noticed Rust was not your list of languages. Is Rust fundamentally different then these languages? If so, why?
I think ultimately there’s no good answer to this line of questioning, because an omnipotent god can make whatever he wants happen regardless of what humans do. Claims that someone is thwarting or enabling God’s will are subjective and religious leaders can deploy them however they wish.
Names are important. It’s certainly understandable if someone makes a mistake the first time, though.

I need to get this gripe off my chest. I want types on the left, and not optional.

I read the main function first. I saw that call to countOccurances, without an argument. I was confused how it was going to count occurances if it didn't know what it was looking for. Then I noticed the implementation of this method above.

Had there have been a type of Map<string, int>, I'd have reasoned what it does easily.

I hate type inference, it does not help.
I would have liked to see more photos of the paste being applied. And is that the CPU and GPU sharing the same heatsink? Or is there another one that needed to be taken apart?
I can tell you it helps me a lot. After going months without flossing, then transitioning to regular flossing, my gums were subjectively in much better shape. I suppose less sugary food choices could have affected results.
Different things work (or don't) at different scales, and with different mechanisms. Is Ycombinator limited in size by available money? Those programs/funds are selective, and tiny by economy standards. There are all sorts of public GDP, arts, and innovation boosting programs, but they tend to be quite different.

In any case, I think those things are wealth, and if they were massively larger and involved lots more people then that would be more wealth equality.
Docility is a social network for psyicians, hardly a strange place to use medical terms.
I thought the problem with braking to overcome a runaway engine was that people don’t commit to it. If you brake hard to a stop then it will work, just like you say. But if you brake some and try to figure out what’s wrong and brake some more and let up and fiddle with the accelerator and brake a bit more and on and off like that, you’ll overheat them to the point that they won’t be able to overcome the engine anymore.
Awesome. Going to try this. Ardent believer in the 2015 MBP.
> Yes, it is quite easy to pay taxes on crypto

I only ever played with small amounts for fun, and in the long term, I took losses. But it's very difficult for me to compile all my trades for tax reasons. I set up automated trading on half a dozen different exchanges (some of which no longer exist) using half-baked python scripts with no logs. How on earth do I compile a Form 8453 showing all of those thousands of trades? I could spend months tracking down all the public keys I used and use blockchain explorers to compile a list of transactions... but I would not describe this as easy
Makes no sense. The subcontinent has had its fair share of land invasions that required no travel by sea.
i would absolutely do so.

no, no amount of "good life" is worth the lives that experience:

- burning to death in a fire

- dying slowly of cancer

- being a transatlantic slave

- dying in a concentration camp

- slipping into schizophrenia in a medieval society

to name a very very few compelling examples.

no future can redeem our past.

and how can you imagine these things happening many many times over through countless civilisations across the universe, but then regard it all as some delightful space opera?

well of course, those who shrug and carry on breeding, or those who manage to rationalise it all to themselves, they populate the future.

my sincere hope is that if a super intelligence emerges, it regards this world with a mind free from the survival desperation which being the product of an evolutionary process has imbued us with, and that it then rapidly sets about sterilising as much of its light cone as possible.
The article quotes directly that the essay is USA-centric:

“...seen capitalism evolve in a way that it is not working well for the majority of Americans...”

There are at least a half-dozen other times that it specifies America.
I'm not sure the DC-10 is a great example. It was grounded in 1979 and discontinued in 1983 after airlines stopped ordering it. The company never recovered and died a long and slow death until Boeing scooped them up.
Politicians picking winners is the last thing we need, and any system in which the government chooses how to funnel resources to entrepreneurs will risk doing that. For pork barrel reasons if nothing else.
Prisma looks good and I hope it succeeds.

Another interesting and unique approach I'd love to see get more attention is Mammoth[0]. Instead of abstracting the database away, you define columns using its raw primitives (in this case, Postgres) and in return get a type-safe client, along with auto-generated migrations.

I imagine this approach allows you to leverage the features of the database much more easily. And Postgres has quite a lot of rich features to take advantage of! :)

If you call something someone else says a lie, that's not a statement of opinion. You're saying they said something false. That's a factual matter.
Heh, I just now published a blog post of my own about this same topic:

Why would the local VPNs drain battery? Isn't VPN just an encrypted pipe through which traffic from your phone is routed? If some app or the other is not using the network, why would the VPN be even at work (hence draining the battery)? Or, are you suggesting that the local VPN apps are poorly implemented?
I suppose the main solution in N9 was to make the dial big enough (not unlike a rotary telephone dial) as opposed to a small knob that you would wish to grab and twist.
Which part isn’t true?
This seems to be a typical thing with public services / transit. Locals will complain and find flaws no matter how good the service is. However for 95% of the western world, Dutch railways are an example of how good it could be.

To be fair. That Golang implementation looks overly verbose. I mean compare the Typescript and Golang implementation. The Golang one isn't even readable. I'd personally use something else instead.
I still have mine but its literally a brick . The screen broke many years ago , so I used it back in the day to hack the ps3. Someone coded the geohotz hack into a payload in the kernel on boot up. Oh memories.
> The essay is very US-centric, and confuses the economy of the US with capitalism to the point that it's not clear to me which of the points apply to capitalism, and which are just a critique of the US system.

Well, first off, the US system among the most capitalist, if not the most capitalist, of the mixed economies of modern developed countries. Any critique of capitalist relevant at all to the modern world as it exists is naturally going to be especially applicable to the US and often less applicable to most other modern “capitalist” economies which are, by and large, mixed economies with more distance from capitalism than the US.

But second, the essay itself explicitly is not about “capitalism” but about the specific manner he has seen “capitalism” evolve to work in America.

And, finally, the specific evolutions he points to are all evolutions in the American mixed economy in the direction of capitalism in the narrow sense, that is, toward he behavior of the dominant economic system of developed industrial economies of the late 19th and early 20th centuries against which the broad evolution to the modern mixed economy throughout the developed world throughout the 20th century was a reaction.
The fact that my comment is ironic...

Since this is C++, what about using a thread_local Arena for the storage? Then you could simplify the API a bit and not re-allocate too!

I also agree, the parent_fd is trivial but it isn't as easy to use as no parameter.

I swapped PTIM (stock thermal paste) with Gallium alloy (Grizzly Conductonaut or Coolaboratories Liquid Metal). The results were absolutely incredible, better than what this article exemplifies. If you're going to open up the chassis, might as well go to the full extent and replace thermal paste with liquid gallium.
I lost my dad recently (he was 84 and lived a wonderful and healthy life, which I consider a huge win for him).

He had a terribly bad stroke that left him very much alive, but without the ability to speak, read, or write. He was a professional book reviewer and writer for much of his life, and continued to read, write, and think with voracity up until the minute before his stroke (he was setting up his Series 4 Apple Watch at his desk when the stroke hit ;) Not an ounce of cognitive decline into his 80s, which we were all thankful for.

He spent about 10 days in the hospital after the stroke. He was mostly lucid, glad to have the family around (thrilled to have his grandson there), but clearly frustrated that he literally could not say a word to us. At one point I handed him his iPad Pro so he could, perhaps, type a bit, but he looked at me and shrugged when the keyboard popped up. That part sucked.

He developed a heart arrhythmia and pretty severe pneumonia very quickly, and after a week or so of minimal cognitive improvement, the attending sat me, mom, and my sister in a room to discuss plans. He explained that, of course, they could and would do the "everything we can" bit if we wanted, but that dad's Living Will (*note: highly recommended for everyone to get one) was clear that if he couldn't live a comfortable life after this sort of debilitating event, he wanted only palliative care. The attending also explained that there was "a 0% chance he'll regain cognitive abilities at this age to live anything near a normal life."

It took us less than a minute to all vehemently agree that the right decision would be to move immediately to palliative care, to let things take their course, and let him spend his last hours/days in peace. The attending told us he was shocked at how easily we agreed -- that most families have a hard time letting go and that he often has a difficult job trying to balance the need to be pragmatic with the wishes of families who might not be in a rational state of mind. He actually thanked us for being so level-headed. Dad died about 2 days later in absolute peace, with family around, a warm and wonderful nursing staff taking care of him, and honestly, I wouldn't have had it any other way given the circumstances.

I share this not to gloat or preach that our family is somehow better than those who choose to request "full code", but as an anecdote to let people know that it's ok to let your loved ones go peacefully. Even in the months since this happened, none of us have even a single ounce of regret about the way things were handled.
Ah yes, my bad https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/26951
Which makes sense if they over-promise and under-deliver. IBM have their reputation and brand recognition to uphold after all (haha only serious).
If you were to offer odds on this happening on some time frame, what would that time frame be and what would the odds be?

Throwaway internet predictions are cheap. Let's back this with cash.
What are you referring to? No one is talking about invalidating advance directives, or taking away medical power of attorney, etc., in cases where, as you put it, "the patients final wishes, that they made for themselves while still lucid" are known.

Of course (unfortunately) most people still don't take these steps to make their wishes known. But the original comment was about "laws preventing family members from prolonging the suffering of their loved ones," specifically about an example of a young child, whose wishes were not known (and of course not really relevant for a toddler). The fact is in the absence of any advanced directive I would much rather have the family make decisions about the type of care desired by the patient than the state.
Voting for solutions does not make right solutions, just popular. For example in my country the majority voted for significant public employees salary and state pensions increase - great idea, you can vote yourself rich, it does not mean it can be done and it does not mean it is a good idea.
I think that is a very good design choice. Failing at that was one of the big catastrophes with C++.
