Yes, it does.

"The compiler has cached the compilation environment from the last build, and with that in mind it could recompile just this one function."

First, this is actually the most trivial possible case, and even there, as you'll see, this is not correct.

Outside of a function it does not handle changing types, changing access permissions in classes, changing between virtual and non, etc.
It does not handle changing globals, things with attributes of various sorts, etc.

All of those require understanding the uses, or overestimating them.

As for whether function-local changes can have non-local effects, the answer is flatly "yes". You don't even have to be that creative, since you can do things like force template function output and other things that affect global state from a function in C++.

The assumption that because i changed text in one function, it means the possible changes are limited to that function, is not correct in C++ :)

There are languages in which it is, mind you, just C++ is 100% not one of them.

Honestly, I would strongly suggest you start to read papers on this, this is an incredibly well studied area, and the costs are well known.

If it was easy and cheap, we'd still be doing it ;)

It used to be a pretty standard feature of editing environments for things like LISP, etc.
The amount of harm doesn't matter. It's the magnitude of the event that counts. The same with the perceived and real safety of airplanes vs. cars.
Honestly I use a trivial client to download RSS-feeds and convert them to emails.

(I rewrote rss2email in golang.)

It means I don't need yet-another application/client and I can do sorting, tagging, etc as I would for emails. Doesn't matter which host I'm on, or where I am, the state of "new" vs "read" is maintained, for example.
I second your opinion. Watching my friend play NES was sometimes frustrating because he played so poorly. I wanted to nab the controller and help him so many times.

Twitch wouldn't be fun to watch if everyone sucked. If I am watching someone on twitch who I think is the best at the game, and I found out some other gamer X is better, I will watch that better player if all other factors are equal.
Deflect most often is used in a sense of deflecting something away from something else. e.g. to deflect a bullet. That would mean away from its target, not into a target.

In English there isn't a general word for altering a trajectory into an object. In this case however, reflect is precisely suited to what mirrors do to light and doesn't have the confusing inverse connotation of away. You reflect away from something or onto something equally well in English.

All legal text, and the interpretation of it is ambiguous to some extent. Sometimes by design, but always through the very nature of not being an unambigous formal language, and hence not trivially machine interpretable.

Fair enough. I won't say git's UI is intuitive -- it's not. But once I crested the learning curve, I do prefer it over the alternatives I'm familiar with. When I need to do something unusual, I have better luck figuring out how with git than the others.

That said, I am not familiar with most of the various version control systems out there, and I could easily be missing something that's genuinely better.
Everyone agrees that few people die. The anti-nuke crowd just doesn't agree that this is indicative of the safety of nuclear power.
Id argue that Fox is a better brand than Hulu. As long as their trademark for "Fox Cable Networks" allows them to use the word FOX, they would be better off with a dual branded app. Or make Hulu the portal that allows you to buy/manage your Disney+/Fox/ESPN/ABC subscriptions.

The thing to remember about hulu is a TON of hardware remotes have a physical Hulu button. You wouldnt want to lose that kind of placement without remapping it to a new app.
Thank you, that seems to be fair and thought out and I have a much better idea of where you are coming from now.

Fair enough. I may be scarred from seeing some truly horribly implementations in the past. But I've seen just as bad in WP.
How can you even compare what you just said with an enormous nuclear facility meltdown? ...? It's measured right behind fukushima and chernobyl, as the third most serious recorded event.

I've known about chernobyl, tmi, fukushima, etc, but I was totally surprised to read about this one.

If you want to hire and retain good engineering talent, try communicating (honestly) that you provide them private or semi-private work space, state of the art tools, their choice of editor/OS where applicable, and don't railroad them constantly with rigid adherence to this or that process methodology nor expect them to work crunch hours (except maybe in very rare circumstances). That'll get you more payoff per unit effort than tailoring your marketing pitch.
The Chinafication of the US is complete. The gatekeepers know better than us and should give us the results that reinforce their echo chamber rather than the ones we are looking for, and the public has been convinced this is the right thing to do.

If this were happening 15 years ago, people would be outraged instead of supporting it. What kind of nonsense is this that the search engine should reinforce political stances? My political beliefs are my choice, and if I want to reinforce them, that's my prerogative. The search engine should not make that choice for me. Well unless you are baidu.com and backed by a one-party system.
That logic can extend to literally any scenario with data. There is never "enough data", especially regarding edge cases or "worst case scenarios".

Luckily, we can use the data we have and come up with some intermediate conclusions while more data is collected - rather than sweep it under the rug.

Lots of SoCs on low cost hobbyist SBCs use Mali GPUs, including those made by Allwinner and Rockchip. In particular the RK3399, which IMO is the best value SoC at the moment with a really decent SBC selection (and the upcoming pinebook pro!). Panfrost is icing on the cake and extremely welcomed.
It’s possible via ediff if you need it; magit devs didn’t want to implement it within magit itself IIUC because it’s fragile and changes in a temporary buffer may be lost, or something like that.

If you don’t like using ediff and really need to edit tons of hunks before staging, you could always commit/stash your dirty copy, revert back, edit files, check them in the way you want, possibly in multiple commits, then rebase your previously staged working copy on a new head and soft reset the head (it’s easier than it sounds) - which is the way I would do it in the terminal too if there was a lot to edit since it’s more fail-proof.
They're shooting to keep it as close to the in-store experience as possible, in that regard ;)
Slicing Onions: Part 1 – Myth-Busting Tor
I will eat a hat in front of everyone on HN at a pub if a utility scale solar plant backed by utility scale lithium battery storage ever melts down, requiring billions of dollars of remediation and making the surrounding land uninhabitable for centuries.

As you said, safety is politics, and politics are people. People will be greedy, they will cut corners, and without a rigid command structure and severe penalties for safety violations (ie the US Navy and their nuclear fleet), accidents will eventually occur. Solar is cheap to manufacture, easy to ship, and does not require skilled labor to rack and install (besides trained electricians for the interconnections).

As of a few minutes ago, California is generating 10GW of solar energy, 1.8GW of wind, and only 2.1GW of nuclear [1] [2].

I'm also in flyover country and have found the same to be true, aside from selection. But the products they do directly offer (it's easy to remove 3rd parties from your searches) come from their own supply chain which they really care about, the prices are almost always better than Amazon's, the shipping is fast, and free if you buy at least $35 per purchase, and they pack the boxes with a fair amount of care.

The latter detail was the last straw for me and my Prime membership due to Amazon switching to pro forma padding by just throwing in a few air pillows. Between that and all the last mile delivery issues others are reporting, its clear Amazon is seriously pinching pennies in fulfillment without caring how much business and extra expense that costs them. Add in the counterfeit problem and it's hard to imagine how much damage the brand is suffering.

OP/author here...

Firstly, sorry about the comments on the doc. I've deleted them and locked the doc so no more will appear. As of right now (and going forward), all links are correct and content is original.

Secondly, happy to answer any questions!
Sadly less and less sites are providing rss feeds albeit it technically is really easy when having a content management system anyway. So todays we have to resort to a twitter to rss converter service and we integrate the feed into a Telegram or TG cousin via a Bot.

It is a sad state of affairs and I share the sentiment that seems to be dripping from this short post.

So much has been broken. So much has been watered down or simply blown away by flashy blinky adsy stuff. Sigh.
This is article so idiotic it makes me hurt. The researcher is quoted in the article saying it’s 10 years out. Blockchain??? AI?? What exactly is the competitive advantage?

> Your compiler doesn’t — and can’t — know what’s in your database.

There's no reason you couldn't compile code against a schema, at least the portions that would be exposed to the application anyway (independent of the data content and non-exposed backing parts of the schema) just as you do against header files (independent of the implementation). It is a form of coupling, but its coupling that exists anyway in DB-consuming code, its just not typically statically verified and so is prone to unnecessary run-time breakage.

Unfortunately, you need tooling to statically analyze SQL schemas in whatever flavor of SQL you are using (and vendor differences will matter here), including inferring types through view definitions, etc., and then you need to tooling to map that to the type system of your implementation language, and potentially you need extension points so that you can do custom mapping for custom types from the database side.

Unless your DB and application platform share tight common control or are near ubiquitous, getting someone to make the investment to do this and keep it current is hard. Its not too hard to imagine Microsoft doing if for the SQL Server / .NET combo or Oracle doing it for Oracle DB / Java, but a general and maintained enough to be usable solution is harder to see getting the kind of support it would need.

If you're going to ignore the terms of the conversion, of course it's going to look extremely cheap. Tesla spent over 10% of the money they raised (in equity+debt) on partially hedging against the potential dilution from the conversion, so clearly they didn't see the terms as rosily as you do.

Then you jump to how much debt Ford has, but the vast majority of it is in their financial services division. Having large amounts of debt is not some red flag, it's the nature of the business - well or poorly run.

I'm not exactly a Tesla fan, but there are plenty of good things you could say about the company without resorting to manufacturing whatever the opposite of FUD is called.

Throw everything as add-ons into the Hulu app (which already has this for HBO etc) and you can charge exactly the same, but the user experience is way better than hopping between apps).

Shame that they're going to be totally separate ones. Seems purely branding, especially around "disney app" being more family friendly than a "Hulu app with just disney package."

Its a really weird rule, but Austria is full of weird rules.

First - its not true that you cannot use a dash cam. You just can't ever publish any media from that camera that might be used to identify a person - even in a court of law, when attempting to prove your own innocence.

You can use a dash cam to record your journey - but if you ever show the video to anyone, you must render anyone in that video un-identifiable, and that goes for license plates as well.

Also, a common misconception among Austrians is that you need permission to film someone in public. This is not true - no such permission is required, and you can record anyone in any public space, any time you want.

You're just not allowed to use that recording to identify someone, nor for commercial purposes - without express permission.
Please don't downvote this guy. As a non-native speaker, I learned one nice word and a bit of trivia about it. It certainly adds to the discussion, as without the explanation I wouldn't know what the GP wanted to say.
Yes, really. Well, I should clarify that increased birth defects have never been linked to increased radiation. Behold:

"But Wertelecki is keen to point out that the study does not claim that radiation exposure is definitively the cause of the defects. The study lacked data about prenatal drinking and the diet of mothers in the region, he stresses. Both are key to under-standing the causes of the defects as fetal exposure to alcohol and a lack of folates during pregnancy can lead to both types of birth defects.Alcoholism is rife in the Ukraine and generally low standards of living for much of the population also mean diet can be poor. “Alcohol and folates are among the factors involved in certain birth defects. A lack of folates combined with ionizing radiation could multiply the risks of birth defects or at least greatly enhance them. Alcohol is a factor in microcephaly, as ionizing radiation can also be, and combined their effects could be enhanced”, says Weretlecki."

The US has not killed millions of people in the last 15 years that is just a blatantly false statement. A quick search on Google or Wikipedia will refute your claim instantly.

Can you provide a decent source for your millions of casualties claim or for you claim about the US toppling more Governments than Russia/China? I bet you can’t.

Judging by your username I believe you know some things about history. Why spread false info?
> either something is codified in form of (non-copyrtightable) parlimentary bill or executive order, or is not a law at all.

This isn't effectively true in practise. While there is no foundation of stare decisis in Civil law, there is the commonly recognised concept of jurisprudence constante (stable law). That is: judges will often look to precedent in making decisions, but are not bound by it. A pattern of past decisions will often be highly persuasive because there is interest in not interpreting the law arbitrarily, and courts tend not to want to make a decision they expect will be overturned on appeal.

You're absolutely not alone and the fragmented ecosystem companies are building will accumulate interest. A lot of potential viewers will never be exposed to content due to fragmentation, and without a critical mass of subscribers, "must-see" content will never grow organically.
If you bundle different categories, like internet and streaming, then probably yes. Since there is no competition, there is no need to bundle.

If the article's bias isn't clear enough from the title, this should:

> Before we delve into the article itself, note that the author of the [pro-nuclear] article, Michael Shellenberger, has a degree in cultural anthropology, not nuclear science or nuclear engineering, environmental science, or any other educational background related to the energy production methods and their impact on the environment, human lives, or the global economy.

And then,

> First, this puff piece for Forbes Magazine tries to discredit the assessment of noted pediatrician and children’s advocate Dr. Helen Caldicott, who projected close to 1 million people died due to the Chernobyl meltdown.

So who is this Dr. Helen Caldicott? From Wikipedia:

> Helen Mary Caldicott (born 7 August 1938) is an Australian physician, author, and anti-nuclear advocate who has founded several associations dedicated to opposing the use of nuclear power, depleted uranium munitions, nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons proliferation, and military action in general.

So they decry an anthropologist writing a pro-nuclear column (fair enough) ... by quoting a physician (umm really?).

By the way, even if we accept their "one million deaths from Chernobyl" at face value, let's put that in some context:

> A 2013 study by MIT indicates that 53,000 early deaths occur per year in the United States alone because of vehicle emissions. [1]

So, during the 33 years since Chernobyl, vehicular emissions caused somewhere around 53k * 33 = 1.7 million deaths in the US only. Nuclear killed, let's be generous, up to a million. Coal kills that much every year.

Well, maybe nuclear is too expensive. I'm OK with that argument. But I don't buy that nuclear is too dangerous, when its worst disasters kill less than regular, non-accidental use of fossil fuels on the same year.

Netflix can't be the new "TV" in the traditional sense. The two lanes of consumption, traditional live linear and VOD (video-on-demand), have different audiences with different needs. Netflix can compete in the later but Disney is going for BOTH.
the point is that the data structures in erlang are chosen with abstractions necessary to support its features. "safe" for haskell is not the same as "safe" for erlang, and that why it's not easy to implement some of the things that are trivial in erlang, in haskell. Conversely, there are some things that are really safe in haskell (type safety and preventing process crashes) that you kind of have to add boilerplate to get confidence in erlang (or you just 'let it crash', which is a perfectly fine philosophy too). This is not saying that erlang is necessarily better, most of those problems have been "solved by kubernetes" anyways.
Of course most people who purchase cotton bags intend to use them many times. The study that was quoted simply quantified how much reuse is required to make them worth it, and it turns out that this is a surprising number to many people. Plastic bags are really cheap, and growing cotton is more expensive than it would seem.
In Java I like to use JOOQ for this. It generates classes and constants from your database. Then you can use the library to build your queries using those generated constants and classes.

This gives you type safety and the ability to use IDE refactoring tools.
I agree with you. Germany did not accomplish it's goal of CO2 emissions reduction, but in the process of trying it did a whole lot of other great things. And I hope we will all learn from the experience Germany made and it will contribute to all of our next efforts.
