2x is actually pretty significant consider the only difference is the way the comparer is called. Also consider how is easy it is to apply similar boosts in many scenarios with little mental overhead and it's a significant win for c++.

C has _Generic though which can do the same, it seems a bit unfair to be comparing an old method kept for backward compatibility with C89 with whatever version of c++ and the compiler gained this advantage.

It's not. They will evolve. Anyone can make up protocols like that right now.
Just because there are peer-reviewed scholarly articles making an argument does not make that argument correct.

I hope anyone who suspects they or someone they love has chronic lyme will dig deeper than just reading scholarly review articles. A professional scholar tends to write only about things that they anticipate will advance their career.

In particular, I hope anyone who suspects chronic lyme will meditate on some of the comments on HN written by people who claim to have recovered from chronic lyme or what they suspect was chronic lyme. If you search the web for information on chronic lyme you will encounter a lot of material by people who make a living trying to persuade various segments of the public in one direction or another. (Some of the professional persuaders have MD after their name.) On HN comments in contrast I am satisfied that almost all the substantive comments about chronic lyme are currently not written by professional persuaders.

Not so much for backing up your photo collection, but more along the lines of publishing some textual information that someone powerful does not want published. It could even potentially function as a sort of notary service.
What’s the actual point of being a “SF developer” or investing in sales force development over traditional development then ?

This isn't a joke. In New England where I live, in the early 2000's, car accidents involving moose had become so common that Vermont attempted to halve the moose population by increasing hunting permits.

Today, the population in New England has been shockingly decimated by ticks... researchers are pulling upwards of ten thousand ticks off of dying moose. They've been bled dry, thanks to warmer winters and reduced tick dormancy periods.
It shouldn't need to be explicit when the enforcement agency has the discretion of deciding appropriate action and whether or not to prosecute. Otherwise there's no discretion and they become rubber-stamp agency. By the same token UK law doesn't include warnings in the Acts for offences that almost always get a warning or caution on first offence, e.g. possession of class B drugs.

When you get to actual penalties, all EU law has the principle of proportionality under it, and has since about the sixties. I know it's written into some treaty or other. There's been countless appeals to the EU courts that some penalty or other was disproportionate.

Glad someone mentioned FlightGear. It is a pretty nice simulator, with pretty accurate flight models, although not too friendly to setup. Once you do though ... . I used to do IFR practice in FlightGear, first for my IFR rating, then for the ATP. Unpublished holding patterns, weird approaches (single engine partial panel NDB was an ordeal ...), I could do thirty a day, free. It really helped. I would script random weather, instrument failures and clearances (with festival, I believe it was called). Not the same as a real airplane but still a very helpful tool.

Gold was used directly, too, as ingots, and as bullion (check out the gold rush of 1849).

But coins show the insignia of the state (and usually the monarch) that minted it; this is an important symbol, and also a guarantee of purity and weight, at least nominally.

These type of algorithms don't give a confidence interval for their predictions so I don't believe these diagnostics are base on probability at all.

If you had to build your own computer and you had the choice of more RAM or a fancy hood ornament, what would you go for? I would be inclined to go for the former.

But it is not about that. If you go into a post production edit suite where they do fancy things then the clients have a fancy sofa with a well stocked fridge. Not a few plastic chairs and a cooler box. People hiring these services expect a certain amount of wow factor to know they have arrived.

Years ago the tech had a certain amount of power projection to it. If the box was big and purple with 'Silicon Graphics' written on the front of it then you knew the toys were the real deal. But, despite the fancy cases to these machines they were not fancy for the sake of it. They just exuded class, much like how a European hypercar just says something that a Toyota saloon fails to achieve despite having four wheels and an engine.

I am not sure that Apple really hit the high notes of wow factor with this case design for the benefit of the clients. The case speaks more to the users than the clients. A veritable status symbol, but, then again, when it comes to bang per buck, it is more hood ornament than engine displacement.

Design is about efficiency of manufacture as well as how it looks. I look at this and I know that some robot spent a long time drilling the holes. It is hood ornament. One thing you want with vents is ease of cleaning. The design statement, if made in plastic as a pop-out panel could be popped out and given a scrub. In 2-3 years time with a layer of gunk inside how do you get this cleaned up? It gets a bit fiddly. And all for a hood ornament.

I think that it looks pretty but how do you put the thing in the machine room? They could have done a 19" rack variant with 'ears' rather than a cheese grater. Sure it has wheels for under the desk but I would prefer to press the power button on the front rather than wheel the box out first before getting to the button.
Based on this article [1], it looks like EU country laws on dashcams ranges from similar to the US, to legal but with restrictions on the duration, retention, or use of the footage, to illegal to use subject to fines, to illegal to use subject to prison, to illegal to even own one regardless of whether or not you are using it.

How aware are EU drivers of these differences? Is it well known to those in places with less restrictive rules that their cameras could get them in a lot of trouble if they take them with them when they take a road trip that passes through other EU countries?

I would recommend BitWarden over LastPass any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

I originally used LastPass for a long time, but it went downhill fast with its sale to LogMeIn and the retirement of the old Firefox extension.

Switching to BitWarden was a delightful experience and I haven't been disappointed with it yet.

When you change a YouTube video from private / unlisted to public it changes the published date. That is how people who release their videos early on patreon handle it and keep their comment sections from splintering, though sometimes they will keep the original private and upload a new video if the early birds on patreon spot a blinding mistake or suggest a better intro for example. It’s also how people can upload a video, let YouTube render it in all resolutions, check the video in private mode for encoding errors and then push the video public at a set time / date to fit in with their schedule.

Jump cuts. Esp if you are filming yourself speaking into camera. If you are doing audio only it would work better. The reason it works with removing a segment is because you are removing content from an existing cut to another existing cut so it will feel much more seem less.

Now if it wasn’t for the date changing when the privacy state of the video changes, why not record 100 takes, upload each and release the correct one and discard the rest. It would give a much more convincing video with no way to detect splices in the audio (a common way fake speed runs are detected) and no need to deal with YouTube’s video editor.

What I mean is if you are going to have jump cuts right at the important part of the video people are going to call you out, if you have jump cuts throughout people are going to call you out. Something like this would just shine light on the video and people will start picking it apart like a badly knitted jumper.

Also one of the first comments would be something along the lines of “nifty trick, now do it again?”.

I imagine you just wouldn't apply as a transfer student.

Texas has a program called TAMS where you take your 11th and 12th grade classes at the University of North Texas. While some students "transfer" at the end (I think to do an end run around UT Austin's 10% rule?), most apply to college as normal high school seniors.

If you wish people don't already know what Bitcoin is and suddenly they will leave Libra and start buying Bitcoin via it's clunky ecosystem, you're totally out of your mind! Bitcoin wastes so much energy - you should at least pitch Ethereum, which is not VHS and it doesn't kill the planet just so that Chinese pseudo-Commies can sneak out their money out of China!
My first thought in response to you was "ah comeon it's not that bad". But then I thought back to when I was fired from my dumb corporate stooge job that burned me out. I literally had an existential crisis during the interview gauntlet where I couldn't see a place for myself in tech anymore. So actually I think you've pegged the feeling quite well. Though I wasn't remotely suicidal, the hopelessness of the job hunt amd my diminished interest in my field of expertise took a massive financial and emotional tole.

The main problem here is people taking these loans. Why would anybody take out 150k to study something 'useless'? It's entirely their fault.

Wayfair supplying beds to detention centers and its employees are protesting
This largely echos my experience.

Moved from a small rural town to Chicago. Was surrounded by professors and industry professional instructors. Most of my non PhD instructors had decades of industry experience from the likes of Motorola, Comes or Bell labs/Lucent.

Classes at my school were generally pretty small, except for a few weeder classes in freshman/sophomore years.

I studied Electrical and Computer Engineering (got 2 B.S. degrees). All of the instructors in the EE department were extremely approachable and really cared about their students (at least about the students that cared for themselves and sought engagement). I had one professor that helped me move from a half tuition scholarship to a 3/4 tuition scholarship.

The school I went to also set me up well to succeed professionally. Not just theory, but leadership roles, independent projects, interprofessional projects, etc.

Not to mention the social aspects. I lived on campus my first 2 years, off campus my last 2 with a roommate. I got my internship end of my sophomore year as I replaced a graduating senior on my floor when I was an RA that year, and he referred me (he knew I was already dabbling in the tech stack he used). Spent 3 years working as an intern before I got my first salaried position in finance on a referral of my best friend from school. Spent 9 years at that job before moving on. Went from being a very junior dev in that role to owning several critical systems for trading at a hedge fund. Ive now spent 15 years in finance and have school to thank, though I never expected to be there. Hell, I wanted to design processors.

But, do I regret going to college? Not one bit. Sometimes, I wish I'd finished my masters, but I don't need it for more than resume fodder. My work experience amd the companies I've worked for open far more doors. I get at least 5-7 emails from recruiters per week.

> you're actively hurting the adoption of Haskell by posting stuff like this in the wrong places/context

If someone's put off learning Haskell because they are (terrifyingly!) exposed to a single obviously non-beginner's article (on HN not the Daily Mail!) -- well, they must be too incurious to be worth recruiting to the language anyway.

I know nothing about Haskell (and am unlikely ever to learn it for unrelated reasons), but I read the article, understood little of it, and survived with my interest if anything somewhat piqued.
My issue with this approach is that the more this gets encouraged for naive investors, the easier it becomes to shift risk away from the players who actually ought to be holding the bag. Sure, the brokerage fees themselves might not be outrageous, but what ought to be outrageous to you is the long-term consequences of empowering opaque profit-driven actors who carry perverse incentives by definition. How about the aftermath of the 2008 crisis: $850 billion getting shifted out of American pension funds into the pockets of hedge fund managers?

I also remember reading your comment the other day, and I thought it was great too.

Do you live in London? It has been said, without too much digging on my part, that London has more cameras than anywhere in the world.... (or is closely behind Beijing).
Other points have been addressed amply, so I’ll just point out one major flaw, which is that not returning a plastic bag containing miscellaneous garbage and money that doesn’t even cover a decent meal in major cities doesn’t necessarily mean they are taking it in their possessions. In fact most people in China are careful of this kind of suspicious behavior as it might lead to trouble if it is some sort of scam. The “not my business” attitude is quite common, but dishonesty is not the correct word for it. The authors might have been raised in such humane and altruistic families as they did not know that there’s the word “indifference” in the English dictionary. So there you go researchers. You just learned a English word and a new concept that’s part of the general education, from me. You are welcome.
There is a high demand. Like exceptionally high. As a contractor I have endless work and never have a hard time negotiating my rate. There is such high demand because Salesforce is not as sexy as being a front-end dev that uses react or a back-end dev that uses go.

It's limiting and can be frustrating, yes.

Apex and aura components are not transferable directly, but what is is learning how to work with enterprise software. Plus, my bred and butter with Salesforce work is integrations, which has given me plenty of opportunities to learn other languages as needed to get the work done.
There's so much unheated air accompanying the vapour, through the air vents, that my recollection of vaping is it wasn't even warm. I'm sure there is a temperature difference after the vaporiser, but I never noticed it. Completely unlike smoking where you often noticed it was hot.

Sounds like something for a Youtuber to measure. :)

I never tried a Juul, just regular mods and vape pens if that makes a difference.
> They constantly need new activities, camps, things to go to. I think having innovative play areas in store for small fee is brilliant idea.

Great points. As a parent of two small kids, though, I'd much prefer that the entertainment NOT be attached to a Toys-R-Us, as that would more or less obligate me to buy a toy every time I went (good luck getting out of a TRU with a little kid without buying something.)

The local mall already has a few paint/build/create spots for little kids, so I can see the transition you mention happening already.
