> As soon as a pointer to said memory is passed to an extern function in another translation unit, the compiler can't prove anything about how it's used, which is the case in pretty much all of the examples mentioned in this thread.

You would have to call such a function between the memset and the first time you write to a member. Otherwise the compiler is allowed to say "I put the padding back, and you can't prove otherwise".

> Just because reading the padding of some struct is undefined behaviour doesn't mean accessing those bits by some other means is also undefined.

It's not always undefined, but it says very clearly that the value of padding becomes unspecified.

> they almost always pass a reference to a routine in another translation unit

> you're massively overstating the relevance of compilers eliminating dead stores done via memset

Unless inlining happened, or link-time optimization, or, or...

If the compiler zeroes the memory most of the time, that makes it even scarier. Because all your tests come back clean and safe, then four years later a macro changes and suddenly you're leaking data all over the place.

I don't think I'm overstating the relevance at all. Any security feature that could disappear because of a reasonable, trying-to-help optimization is one that should have a bright red warning label. And this is such a feature. It doesn't require a "sufficiently smart" compiler, and it doesn't require a malicious compiler. This is the kind of thing that can break by accident and ruin everyone's month.
I see you. I hope things get better. Please do not harm yourself, you are valuable and you matter. The people you work with do not define who you are, and neither does their abhorrent behavior.
Ahh, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying! Makes sense then - I think I misinterpreted something in the article.
Sorry, "exactly the same thing" was bad wording, it's the same concept, but executed differently. You can compare it to two tech blogs who write about the same things. Definitely not an issue, they both give different takes on the same things.

The Show HN rules disallow re-posts such as this.

New features and upgrades ("Foo 1.3.1 is out") generally aren't substantive enough to be Show HNs. A major overhaul is probably ok.

I can’t imagine that a few weeks is enough time to implement a major overhaul.
So why does that mean we should prefer the worse option? Uber and Lyft enable the exploitation of self employed workers, that shouldn't be allowed.

I bought mulled red wine (gluewine sp?) in a christmas market in Germany this last winter. They sell you a proper coffee-type-mug to drink it from, for 6 euros (about US$7), which you can return when you're done and they'll refund you.

I kept mine, it's a nice souvenir of Cologne and I drink my coffee from it every morning :)

If you had to pay, say $10 for a proper coffee mug to have your take-away coffee in, but they'd buy back those same coffee mugs for the same price, that would probably solve the problem.

You should really consider having Pro not being a onetime fee, but rather a monthly subscription, or at the very least both options. A single one time $100 fee is unlikely to go well with most users, but many more would be ok with contributing $5 or so a month if it meant supporting a good service.
"I think the easiest win would be designating between sit down and take out customers. Sit down customers could be given porcelain or some other washable container."

Interesting, what country are you from that doesn't do this? I can't think of a coffee place I've been to that doesn't, in Australia and Europe. Even McDonald's has porcelain cups for sit down customers.
Business and politics – CEO activism [pdf]
An interesting study - albeit 3 years old - on company driven political activism and which areas of policy making they should stick to (according to public perception). Unfortunately, I think this is very indicative of the current state of polarisation in society, but it can be useful for start-ups to navigate this tumultuous landscape.
good call. While we're doing that, can we deal with the coffee pod things too, please?
Pro is $5 a month or $100 for a lifetime plan. The monthly option isn’t available until I implement the new payment processor but please stay tuned I hear you :)
Interesting idea. How's it going so far? Do you have any customers?
Lest you think I'm some sort of madman, I suspect the hygiene problem is quite mild. But speaking as someone who has washed dishes for a living, people can be quite disgusting with their food and that does get to you.

Having an attitude where you say "why don't they just do this" is typically not helpful. People are smart, they probably have already considered your solutions. If someone doesn't do something the way you think it should be done it doesn't make them stupid. Trying to figure out what you are missing when a solution seems obvious is a helpful way to see the world.
We need regulation, but not in the authoritarian way you propose. We need to prevent any one person or organization from having too big a loudspeaker, and that means maintaining a free-expression attitude and creating regulation that ensures that no one can interfere with that. Your statement is highly ironic because all it does is hand the fucking loudspeaker to the government instead, which as you yourself said, can be any sort of government, including authoritarian ones. You haven't thought this through, and there are people who have done so for a lot longer than you have. Your arrogance in this matter will be your undoing.
"It is so unsanitary."

Is it really that bad? As in, so bad it justifies the amount of waste the alternatives produce? I'm sure it's not the worst thing you deal with on a daily basis i.e. door handles are pretty gross.
This does not jibe with my experience in Beijing. I’ve lived in Shanghai for seven years and visited Beijing for maybe two weeks but I’ve spent more time in traffic jams in Beijing.

Land leases are a red herring when it comes to superblocks too. There’s no reason why local governments couldn’t make money with smaller, more walkable blocks like you see in Manhattan or in central Paris. You need internal roads within parcels of superblocks to roughly the same extent you need them between smaller blocks. The government could have leased out the same area to the same developers and have had them build smaller blocks.

My personal bugbear when it comes to Chinese urban planning is the dearth of green space. Pudong was the countryside 30 years ago and now it’s built up. If you compare it to Singapore the latter comes off incomparably better. The four or eight lane highways in between blocks in Pudong are just awful, car centric, an avoidable mistake.
Ok, lets suppose that banning discussion of "toxic viewpoints" worked as this title implies (overall spread of the viewpoints declined). Now for the tricky question: who defines what "toxic" means?

Is something a "toxic" viewpoint when it's holders take action that is harmful? Certainly that's why racism is bad, but what about more controversial opinions? People who spread the belief that abortion is OK are encouraging more people to get abortions, which the pro-life movement equates to murder (and therefore harm). What about meat consumption? Vegans and PETA-types would label this harmful as it involves the death of animals. What about weed? LGBT normalization?

This labeling of speech as being "harmful" is necessarily subjective. What happens when operators of major discussion platforms decide that things besides racism are too "harmful" to permit discussion of? Seeing that limiting the discussion of ideas shapes how a population propagates them (taking this study's claim at face value), do we really want to normalize this sort of censorship? Is it even moral for site operators to manipulate people's perception of reality like this by censoring what they see to shape a population to be politically homogeneous to the operator's views?
If you haven’t heard of them without doing competitive research, but you are in the target market, then you can at least beat them at getting the word out.
Seems unlikely - once the magnetic bottle collapses the reaction stops, its very hard to keep it going. Its not like fission where the reaction cascades and causes a melt down. Some localised melting is perhaps possible if things go astray.

Sure, it may be a bad-faith question, but I think the point still stands. IRC, as an open communications protocol, will always, always, always be better than private companies with the potential to be controlled by anything. Richard Stallman would be rolling in his grave.
I started on Instagram back in 2012 doing the daily photo competition with my DSLR. I lost interest after a while. Reading this article, I cannot believe the platform has turned into that.
You're making a really good insight here. I just wanna give some examples to add to your point. Here in Indonesia there are 2 big Uber clone (at least initially): Gojek and Grab that are both unicorn. In the beginning, they both started off ride-hailing. But after about 4 years, Gojek morphed into a payment company like Chinese We-Pay. It seems they were thinking of ride-hailing as a good customer-acquisition strategy in order to build the initial user base. On the other hand, Grab still seems to be focused on being a transport company, but they expand to a lot more countries. Their main strategy seems to be South East Asia expansion.

I think these are very cool examples on how two seemingly the same thing end up diverging and finding up their own path.
> For example, if the features are identical, then the price can be different.

Just a reminder that pricing "cheaper" isn't always a good idea. Newbies often think they'll charge less, but without having the data competitors have of how long the product takes to develop & maintain, how much support is involved, how much advertising costs to acquire a customer, how often you need to upgrade your equipment etc.

Please make sure that your competitive advantage is not "selling at a price you can't possibly make a living from".

(Hint: being found first can also be an advantage. Even if you're not better or cheaper than the competition, if they try you first and think "meh, good enough, I can afford that", that can still get you the sale. Not everyone exhaustively researches the competing products.)
Hong Kong has not been a true democracy for a long time. The elections are rigged by the use of "special interest seats" in parliament (I'm not sure if this is the official translation) which are overwhelmingly won by the party that is backed by mainland China.
Populations were much smaller then, and only a small fraction of the population went on sailing voyages long enough to suffer from scurvy. So your estimate of millions of deaths from scurvy is implausible on the face of it.
> There are consistent themes across both GTK+ and Qt.

And then you open an app that’s neither GTK+ nor Qt, and you’re back to square one.

Besides, there’s more to UI than “theme”. I have ^w mapped to delete word on OS X. One line in one config file. It works universally in every text box on the system.

I tried setting that up in Linux. Eventually got it working through some gnome setting or some such. In some apps. Firefox didn’t respect it and wanted its own setting iirc. Then it would forget it every few months and trying to delete a word while I was typing would unconditionally close the browser. Fucking ridiculous stuff like that abounded. Life’s too short.

> Pretty much all my apps share a similar theme and UI. There are Mac Apps as well that deviate from whatever "standardization" you're referring to.

A few (very few anymore, in my experience) might deviate in terms of widget styling. Essentially none ignore system wide keybindings, or fail to integrate with system wide services, etc. In terms of inconsistency it’s night and day vs what I’ve had to put up with from Linux desktops.
With S3, your server supplies the client with signed time-limited upload endpoint URLs (which is a feature S3 supports). So the server is effectively authorizing the client to upload direct to S3. You could do this only for "logged in" users, or use your own IP-based rate-limiting, or whatever else you wanted to do. Front-end direct-to-cloud doesn't necessarily mean "without a server", as you can set it up so it has to be authorized by the server, and this is generally how you'd do it.

I don't know if GCS is built into uppy at present (contrary to another comment, I don't believe GCS could be called "S3-compatible"), but I suspect there's a way to use uppy hooks to add it. As long as GCS also allows storage locations that allow upload only to signed time-limited URLs, the same approach could be used.

Where you put the file on the cloud storage and what you do with it is, I believe, not uppy's concern. But if you are for instance using the ruby shrine file attachment library (which is built out with examples to support uppy, and direct-to-S3, as a use case) -- shrine strongly encourages you to use a two stage/two location flow, where (eg) any front-end-uploaded things are in a temporary 'cache' storage, which on S3 you might want to use lifecycle rules to automatically delete things from if older than X. The files might only moved to a more permanent storage on some other event.

Once you get into it, it turns out all the concerns of file handling can get pretty complicated. But having the front-end upload directly to cloud storage can be a pretty great thing, depending your back-end architecture, for preventing any of your actual app 'worker' processes/threads from being taken up handling a file upload, dealing with slow clients, etc. Can make proper sizing and scaling of your back-end a lot more straightforward and resource-limited.
I used up the trial earlier in the year, and it definitely has a nice workflow. And by the looks of it, it's also capable of industry-grade editing.

I am in the same boat, I started a side project a few months ago and released the MVP without looking too much into the competition. But it turns out there is a lot of it.

The reason I am not going to stop working on it is:

- I am learning a lot while developing the new features(using lots of different tech that I don't necessarily use in my day job)

- it allows me to channel some creativity that I did not know I had

- it doesn't cost me anything to run

- even if it fails I can always use it as a showcase of my skills if I decide to start job hunting.

At the moment my goal is to get 10 users. When I get there, I'll re-evaluate how far I want to take it with this thing.
Well, taking PV array efficiency and land vs. sea area into account, that’s probably closer to 0.5% of Earth’s land area that would have to be covered with panels. Obviously not a huge amount relative to agricultural land but we’re still probably talking about a butt pimple around the size of California.
no definitely into a black hole for surezies. only the LHC could have turned earth into a sun. luckily it didn't.
I have the opposite problem. When I was a kid(very active, used 8+ hours a day) all I had were shoes from Payless and they lasted two years. Recently I have purchased different "high quality" brands in the $50+ range and each has worn through the soles in less than six months. I barely wear my shoes an hour each day.
That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing. You should post it to indiehackers.com, people would learn so much from your experience :)
It can be argued very easily that the combination of home internet and cell phones is 2-3x more valuable to any houseold today than cable + phone was decades ago.
To me this is more evidence that we definitely need public decentralized platforms that can replace Google and once we have them we need to eliminate the company. Private companies should not be allowed to monopolize platforms and control our lives.
While this is a cool project I kinda wondering if they tried submitting a PIP. I think such debugging enhancements to Cpython would be great. Is Python communities considering any improvements on traceback information?

With you on that, been really happy wearing nicer leather "work"-style boots. They look good, they wear great (after the first couple foot-destroying weeks), they last for-friggin'-ever, and beating them up doesn't really hurt their aesthetic, so far as that goes. I've gone the Redwing Heritage route, getting one pair at a store and using that sizing to buy a couple pairs of seconds in other styles at ~40% off retail for firsts.

I've also become a loafers fan. In US fashion, at least, a good pair of black or dark brown loafers can be worn all the way up to business-formal, to weddings, funerals, et c., but also dressed down to business- or smart-casual, and if they get beat up they just become toss-on-and-go shoes for any occasion, even if it's just mowing the lawn. Again, they last a good long time if they're US- or European-made. I don't think either beats cheap sneakers for price over a lifetime, but then you get whatever benefit a nicer look and a little more formality-range gets you from going for well-crafted leather, and they aren't so much more expensive considering that and how long they last. Sure $200+ for a pair of shoes is a bit of a shock at first, but when they're in your rotation for 10-20 years it seems less crazy.
I'm one of the people who'd definitely use an alternative to ElasticSearch! I hate the fact that elastic search is using Java. It just takes up too much memory.
There's nothing feudal about the absence of "allodial title" -- the absence of the possibility to "outright own your property". Empires, after all, never allowed that either; they were not feudal, though, they were empires.

Under feudalism is actually when legal systems began to recognise allodial title as such. To the old fashioned kings, "land to which you have an absolute title" was just "land I haven't conquered yet".

When people talk about feudalism here, what they probably are referencing is the defacto inalienability of property under feudalism, and the consequent emergence of a small landed class who enjoyed revenues from a large labouring class.

The inalienability and concentration was not due to one law or institution, but typically several together. Some wills outright forbade the inheritor to sell any of the property, if they accepted the inheritance. In some parts of Europe, all of the property was inherited by one son -- primogeniture -- tending to concentration.

It was never the case under feudalism that there was no way to move into the landowning class -- some families moved in and some out -- but in practice families with land could very easily retain it. This changed only with the emergence of widespread trade and then industrialism, because these introduced much better ways to generate revenue from labor and led to a situation that might seem bizarre to us: poor gentry with vast landholdings and no money, and no way to generate revenue from the land since they couldn't invest in it, and no way to get outside investors because it was always "heads I win, tails you lose" when it came to collecting on the only asset of value the gentry had, the land.

What California is doing really is feudal, in the sense of encouraging the concentration of landholdings in a semi-permanent group of families.
There are advantages because you can see what features work or not before you build them into your product.

> Is she assuming that the failure of America's city planning is readily apparant? Why?

The only walkable cities in the US were developed before the rise of the automobile, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Chicago, etc. Any city with areas that requires you to own a car to participate in civic life is a failure of urban planning. That describes more or less all urban development in the US since WWII.

> And how would these failures not be explained by poor zoning laws in the US?

Poor zoning and land lease dominated urban development are both failures of urban planning, though the mechanisms are different. Walkable, mixed use urban development is the ideal, whether you’re talking about dense neighbourhoods of apartment blocks with ground level retail like central Paris or Amsterdam or decent suburban growth with detached or semi-detached single family homes where people can walk to an area with shops, pubs and restaurants, a town centre.

Car centric urban design makes living without a car a miserable experience, is a cancer on the growth of local communities and infantilises the young by making them dependent on their parents to go anywhere to do anything.
I’ve gone a similar route, partly because I want to own the content and partly because of availability. There are 20/30/40-year-old shows and movies that I enjoy, and few of them are on any streaming service. Those that are often have periods of unavailability due to licensing contracts expiring.

I’m currently operating on an 8 TB archive, of which I have two copies. One is installed in a desktop computer, and the other is in a single drive Synology. I take the Synology when traveling with our RV.
I still wear them, moving them to the garage for lawn mowing shoes, and grabbing a new box. Usually buy them in sets of 3 from Amazon; size 14 in red.

In the early 90’s they were $18 and made in USA. Within 1 year they went to $40 and made in China.
