Furthermore, are we comparing big differences in a variable (money, opportunity, interesting work, workplace flexibility, etc.) or small differences? It's a lot easier to say these three things are fairly important to me even if the deltas are not huge than it is to say one variable trumps all.

Sure, money is important to most people at some level. But for many, it's important relative to other things in that it can't be dramatically lower at one opportunity vs. another. A bit lower? That's maybe OK if other factors balance it out.
Is it safe to say this is basically a more practical version of EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION? [1]

Also, on another note, it's not really true that "things in the middle don’t need to concern themselves with error handling". That's what exception-safety is about. You very much do need to concern yourself with exception handling if you want to allow the possibility of a caller handling a callee's exception. Also see [2].

I think "all" is a bit of an exaggeration though :). Besides, something is hosting all those Alpine containers, and while I'm pretty far removed from this field, I hear it's not Alpine most of the time.
> visually viewing the entire tree [branching structure]

You can do that with git CLI no problem, it's one of my most used aliases (so I can't recall exactly the underlying command) - just flags to log. --pretty=oneline --all --decorate is the key bit iirc.

While I'm at it, my hands down most used alias is 'fixup', which takes a ref, commits with message 'fixup! <ref>' and rebases with whatever flag makes it turn that into 'fixup' instead of 'pick' automatically. i.e. it's commit --amend for older commits.

Recently I added fzsha and fzfile too, which use fzf to fuzzy find a SHA/file, and call the git command given as $1 with it and any other supplied args. So git fzfile add stages whatever I choose in fzf, and likewise git fzsha fixup amends a fuzzy-found commit.

These GUIs look pretty, but I've no desire to learn one when it inevitably misses some things I use frequently, and adds new features I don't have, sure, but no (quick, maybe it's open source and
.. sure) way of adding my own.
Intuitively, stamping, pressing, and welding seems to produce a lighter, stronger, and cheaper part than die casting.

Also, that die casting machine looks horrendously complex and hard to keep working.

I'd guess the fact the inventor of this is no longer with Tesla tells you that this idea hasn't been implemented.

There is no stigma with it. Once an uproar has been created as in the Georgia case, it becomes like supporting apartheid South Africa.
No, people don't have common sense. People should not post publicly on behalf of their employer without running it by a manager. This is lesson one at every major corporate introduction and I now understand why, because people don't have common sense.

...are you aware that most of that low life expectancy was caused by infant and child mortality? Once you lived past 15, you were expected to stick around at least to your 60s, if not more.

So yes, modern medicine is a Herculean effort in many ways. One of them is that it saves so many of our otherwise very frail and helpless children.
I’m the same way, so I built in a fix to my lifestyle. When I was single I always lived with a roommate. Most times I preferred meeting friends than going home after work. And I chose to marry someone who loves social interaction so now we kind of balance each other out.

Worst period of my life was single and living alone. Way too easy to go home after work and never meet or talk to anyone outside of work.
The answer is right there in the first paragraph of the article - the bands themselves are making money by reselling the tickets above face value.

To use non transferable tickets, the price would need to be increased to the actual price people are willing to pay. This would cause bad PR and outrage.

The price would also have to adjust in a live fashion, so you wouldn't pay the same as the person you're next to. This gives people a bad feeling that they're willing to put up with for something important and not fun like flying, but would decrease their enjoyment of a music event.
But isn't that the case for all types of ventures?
This article is all over the place.

It's about the reduction of single player games, nevermind it's about the the move to cloud gaming, surprise it's about Google's data center energy production, just kidding it about developer work environments, nope just the environment.
To be clear though, I doubt that someone in Hertz management sat down and devised this scenario deliberately to save a few bucks, hoping that nobody with social media clout would ever run into it. My guess is that it's the result of a web of misaligned incentives and organizational cruft that resulted in a creaky but mostly-working system that nobody ever fixed.

You can use your imagination to fill in the details for fun - maybe 8 years ago some stressed-out shift manager without enough people to work the rental desk (due to a freak corporate-mandated hiring freeze) got a call asking for updated contact information for his location and he hesitated a moment and the caller, a temp on loan for the day, helpfully suggested that they just leave the extension blank for now, and marked the location done. And over the next 8 years the company was making its numbers and there was no need to rock the boat and dump a bunch of money into management consultants to tear everything up and start over fresh, and the VP of airports just had a grandkid and was letting his lieutenants run things on autopilot, and the CEO was happy as a clam with his 2pm golf games and expensed steak dinners and had no idea that anything was wrong, etc etc etc etc. The WSJ exposé following Hertz's surprise Chapter 11 filing practically writes itself.
Tens of thousands? There is some 5 milion tourists pers year to Bali and 35 milion to Thailand. Not to mention other destinations. So tens of thousands of biographies (if there is really such a number) is just an rounding error.

So I guess here is your answer.

What I simply meant is that travelling for most people is just a form of leisure not a life enhancing experience.
I can't relate to that and I think that a measurably large portion of the population can't as well.

I like being with myself. So much so that I deliberately drive instead of flying so that I can have more "me time".
Or "structured" coroutines, which jump to a previously established handler? In the _enumerateFiles_ example, control keeps jumping between that routine and the different procedures declared in the handler, which take care of different needed functions.

once the race to the bottom ends someday we'll have companies making good games again. there's 1 or 2 big studios who still take time for stuff, but most large ones are pretty much hitting the bottom now and people are stopping to buy their games and content. once people are fed up enough and sales take a big enough dive they will wake up. - so in reality, gamers, it's in your hands to change the industry. not in the developers hands. they just make what sells. so buy what's good and they will focus on that.
I'm amazed by the observation that even the Deputy Director, a seasoned theoretician, did not expect to understand a peer researcher's work without several months of collaboration. What chance does a mere undergrad or practitioner stand ! :)
Can TypeScript be a compiled language one day?
Is there any chance Typescript switch to another compiled language based on a new set of tools that would support this thing? Typescript is such a great typed flexible oop language, it's considered a playground from many developers. I wish one day we could compile to machine code using Typescript but is it possible and how many lines needed to accomplish such a thing? Can we fork a compiler or we have to write one from scratch?

> You don't have to do anything to get decent privacy on iOS because it comes like that out of the box.

It's amazing that somebody who works in tech would fall for that marketing when it is so obviously a lie. Consider that iOS sends every GPS location ever requested by your phone to Apple, and there is nothing you can do about it. Likewise, you can't stop Apple from knowing about every app you install on your phone or every address link you click on. If you want to develop apps for your own device, you have to hand over card details. "Out of the box," iOS tells Apple every phone number you SMS and when. And worst of all, if you're Chinese, you have no privacy at all on an iOS device.

> Do you honestly believe that Google has less data on Android users, compared to Apple for iOS users?

For users who care about privacy, absolutely. For users who care about usability, Google has more data but provides a more useful experience. That's a trade-off that is possible to make on Android. On iOS, you are stuck with poor privacy and worse usability.

> No, it's opt-out.

You are correct. That is still much better than not being able to opt out of sending every GPS lookup to Apple at all.

I think you can fault the academics that use the "algebraic effects" term for that. Alternatively, you can see it as an extension of the efforts done in Lisp community since the 1960s.

However, neither the linked paper nor the author of this article seem aware of Lisp's prior art in this space, which is a shame. In particular, it's not true that you "can't touch this" - you absolutely can touch a production-ready implementation of this, in Common Lisp, and could for the past 30 years.
For one, I guess, the price tag.
Ask HN: Can we ban SCMP articles?
Some of you already know that the newspaper is own by Jack Ma/Alibaba and PRC officials attend their editorial meetings [1]

Today, they released an article with a fear-mongering/sensationalist headline of “Chinese military can be deployed at Hong Kong’s request to contain protests, Beijing says”

Other journalists are calling them out for posting such a reckless headline [2]

Even the Hong Kong Government had to clarify the rumours [3]

SCMP frequently leave out important facts and there are plenty of biased articles if you go and look for them. But to their credit, they actually have some very good reporters and journalists, it’s just that things get meddled with higher up in their editorial process [4]

It’s time for Hacker News to block this news source.

”cherry picking commits is not easy”

That always baffles me in git UIs. You have your list of branches on the left, list of commits in the current branch on the right (haven’t checked this client, but it likely has that), so why can’t I drag one of those commits on top of a branch to cherry-pick it?

Similarly, changing git commits shouldn’t need a separate dialog, and reordering commits could be done in-place by drag and drop (probably with a warning if done on commits that have been pushed). Yes, that’s less efficient and may occasionally lead to more or harder merge conflicts than doing complex rebase’s in one go, but it’s the GUI way.
I have the feeling this has much more to do with our self inflicted lifestyle than genetic factors.

Maybe no other animal is just that stupid.
They need a solid war with Pakistan to bring things back to normal. That’s unless they send their women to fight for them.
There are different ways you can travel. You can do it on a shoestring budget, sleeping rough and working odd jobs in the process to sustain yourself. This I believe is very challenging and enriching. The other alternative is to just take a bunch of money and go to country where it goes a long way (like Thailand) and then spend time in hostels, eat out and basically live a life of partying and leisure. This I believe is much less valuable.

i mostly use the git cli. i even like it; despite some ux problems! i've often been the one teaching git, and always make sure junior hires learn at least a little bit of git cli. but i do use a few extra interfaces.

1. complex staging operations. i do a lot of partial staging. staging by line or hunk is good enough most of the time. sometimes though i want a little more. maybe only part of a line, or parts of multiple lines. or even edit the staged content directly! i haven’t used eclipse in a few years, but its staging ui was great. side by side diff, working tree on one side, stage on the other. like resolving a merge conflict. full syntax highlighting, both sides editable. i haven’t found another tool like it. even primitive staging tools (like fork, tower, and tig) that don't do anything fancier than `git add -p` tend to be more useful to me, just because it's so quick to change your mind. no need to type out an unstage command then go through a bunch of screens. just drag and drop, or highlight and click.

2. studying history of a class or function. i use a jetbrains ide, and it makes it super easy to jump through the full history of a file. it's just git blame, but you don't have to copy and paste the ref to blame. very quickly you can see a bunch of versions all at once, and diff between them.

3. perusing git history. mostly, i use git-log and git-show. but sometimes, i want to see the git graph and quickly see the contents of individual nodes. a normal advanced scenario is, show me the full git graph, highlighting commits that touch a particular file, and let me quickly see the contents of those commits. i can do that with the cli, but it's way faster in other tools. if it's simple enough, i use tig right in my terminal. if my ide doesn't support the more complex cases, git-gui does.

4. interactive rebase. i don't know any tools where this doesn't suck. i'm rebasing against origin/master.. is it towards the top or towards the bottom? what files are in the commits i'm manipulating? what are the contents of those files? why can't i jump around between them without starting a new rebase session? i think there's potential for radically different tooling around interactive rebase, especially inside an ide. i'm used to the git cli. i interactive rebase constantly without any trouble. but my team mates don't, and it's not cause they're stupid or lazy. i just got really interested and put a ton of effort into learning it.
Protean’s new module gives 360-degree manoeuvrability
How many westerns are there? Star Wars films? After the second Star Wars films they all sucked and were essentially the same movie. If you like westerns or Star Wars films you're (probably) going to see a lot of them. They'll stop making them when people realise they're getting predictable; when it's too obvious that the differences between releases are extremely small. This isn't art, it's business, no matter what you might read.
Atherosclerosis:

https://lmgtfy.com/?q=Atherosclerosis

"When plaque (fatty deposits) clogs your arteries, that’s called atherosclerosis."

~ American Heart Association (https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/cholesterol/about-cho...)

"Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries....Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood."

~ https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/atherosclerosis

"Atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on your artery walls (plaque), which can restrict blood flow."

This looks neat! It will be great to have a Linux version in the future.

I’m not too hopeful as this seems to be made native to the platforms (and very well!) by experienced native devs. Maybe, the app becomes very popular and there will eventually be a Linux version of such good quality.
I’m sad to see they found PayPal the best option, and that underscores how much work is needed in this space to provide competition. I’ve used PayPal for years and I’ve always found it to be the absolute worst, last ditch option for when nothing else is available. Their business practices are not customer friendly, their currency conversion and handling of that is a borderline scam, and the way they partner with eBay presents so many issues for people who use both services. I really hope something comes along to knock them off their perch in that particular space.

An atheroma, or atheromatous plaque ("plaque"), is an abnormal accumulation of material in the inner layer of the wall of an artery; it is present in the arteries of most adults.[1] The material consists of mostly macrophage cells,[2][3] or debris, containing lipids, calcium and a variable amount of fibrous connective tissue.

When we look back on past civilizations we do it with a relatively slim understanding on what, why, or how they did things besides the basic drives and needs of life. The further back in time, the more we have to "guess" what we're looking at. So usually we just assume that so far back in time the civilizations must have been simple enough that their main focuses (besides... living) were religion or war. It's sort of a running joke among archaeologists that when something is unexplained you immediately attribute it to religion/ritual. [0] Sometimes it's hard to imagine that once in a while, people many millennia ago might have behaved just like modern humans since we haven't changed that much in the meantime (biology/evolution).

This is not how mutation work [1].
If over several generation we "selected" women/men that "yield" more man then women (if such a thing is even coded in some genes which, as far as i know, we have no clue), we would slowly make this trait more frequent, increasing the issue. But this looks more like a bad sci-fi novel setup than something possible.

[1] By that I mean: Mutation are not "created" by the environment. Evolution theory shows that we "select" mutation which will then become present in the majority of the population over several generation (provided that the mutation can be passed to offspring and yield a significant benefit that will last over several generation).

Mutation happens all the time in your body, although, if i remember my high school biology class, most of them get "fixed". And mutation are only one of the many "tools" that help create diversity (chromosome recombination for example).
Lithuania here, unlimited from cellphone operator for around 29 eur/mo, I don't see anything forbidding tethering, I know you can ask for a data-only clone of your SIM to put in your car or laptop. You can get a better deal from the operator that specializes in 4g internet only if you are within coverage.
fc ("fix command") opens an editor with your last command and executes it when you leave the editor. fc -l lists your latest commands, fc -ln does so without line numbers. Useful if you want to write a script (fc -ln > myscript.sh).
In some cases, yes. In fact, one of the Irish mobile operators currently has an all-you-can-eat prepay sim top-up promotion that gives you unlimited 4g data for €20 every 28 days.

They have a fair usage policy but don't enforce it (no idea why) and chatting with their pricing personnel it makes no economic sense (they lose money on it). It would appear it's a sacrifice they are currently willing to make to ensure market share increases.
You are right. I've updated my comment above and added a second step which shows which branches can be removed.
