This autist understand why hypercard was a good idea, and also, the author is an asshole.

[edit]
So This got flagged.. Because somehow it's entirely acceptable to say "If you don't understand X, you're an autist" ? fuck that. Would it have been just as okay for the author to write "And if you don't get that, you're gay" ?
Oh yes, reposts are fine after about a year—this is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. The reason for linking to past discussions is just that some readers find them interesting.
Even worse: Google stole my idea for self driving cars. I was like " it would be cool if cars drove themselves" and sure enough, Google copies me. Do you think I have grounds for a lawsuit?
You're agreeing with me?

"Preorder" is just a (better-known?) synonym for "non-strict weak order" [1] [2], so we don't disagree there.

"Strict" vs. "non-strict" I merely included because C++ comparisons return strict orders. I thought it was worth including, but feel free to ignore it.

So just as you pointed out in your own list, and just as I've been saying, "strong total order" isn't the terminology (every total order is strong), and neither is "weak total order" (it means "total preorder" which is... just a total order). Like you said, they should say "total" order, "preorder" (or "weak" order as I said), "partial" order. The "strong" and "weak total" stuff is just something they seem to have invented in contradiction with the established mathematical terminology for... no reason/gain?

Ok I will refrain from posting in political threads.
Realistically because a “free” fossil fuel is going to harm efforts to build wind/solar farms.

Long term it seems that carbon-resource extraction should be expensive and hard. At least harder than solar/wind.
What happens if the permafrost melts?

Can we have a runaway greenhouse effect and reach a hothouse state like millions of years ago, or even worse due to the amount released all at once?

What do the models say in the worst case?

Will humanity barely survive at the poles, in that case?
Python, because it's interpreted, and focused on idioms and readability
And now you know why you have been seeing all those 'landfills are not all that bad' spindoctor articles of late.
I wish you the best. I don't believe there is any psychological condition worse than wanting to die. Even excruciating physical pain at worst can drive you to that point.

I hope you can learn from these experiences, that your will to live or at least your survival instinct has not gone away, even during such episodes, but was merely drowned out by an irrational mechanism.
Generating Quality Leads
Suggest some quick ways to generate quality business leads.
And also see if you're better off with an std::unordered_map or a custom sorted-array implementation of a map.
Wish there were separate landfills for these recyclables that aren't being recycled so that in the future they can be dealt with in a more proper manner. This can either be the ideal recycling we all imagine when we put a bottle in the bin, or it could be further advanced plastic decomposing microbes and worms.
Worst case is a second venus if the process truly runs away and no longer relies on biochemical greenhouse gases but purely chemical processes that work beyond 100C.

If the permafrost melts it'll release a lot of methane and CO2, in part captured and in part from material beginning to rot a few thousand years too late.

Humanity might survive at the south pole, but we'll more likely go extinct in a worst case. Unless it's a venus scenario, life itself will go on.

When has Amazon ever done this to a third-party seller?

If Amazon really wanted to muscle in on the third-party sellers, how can you explain the huge amount of third-party sellers who sell shoes, clothing, electronics, toiletries, and other stuff in direct competition with Amazon's own store, and who joined Amazon after Amazon has been selling those same things for years?
I agree, except perhaps for self-harming behavior in borderline personality disorder. Those contain an aspect of seeking self-experience.

But it get's very complicated to distinguish self-harm and suicidal attempts.

I'd also admit that some patients need to come to the edge to see that they also don't want to die, maybe as much as they want to.
If you want to know what files are being shared, there are some indexing apps for selfhosting that can scan the peers of a tracker (though DHT crawling is probably the better solution)
And another thing people should learn from that, never underestimate secretaries, accountants etc.

It is often good to limit what non admins can do to the system, servers, their computer os etc.

We should also limit who has access to sensitive data.

But I think often companies could be more productive if they taught their employees to script a bit.
The part you probably needed is 3-way comparisons. The weak vs. strong vs. distinction is less likely to be needed IMO.
They can be operated by anyone, most Torrent software lets you set the bootstrap servers, rtorrent only requires connecting to a node that knows a bootstrap server.
Ask HN: A Big Company was hacked, they won't admit it. What can I do?
A long time ago I submitted a custom e-mail address to a VERY large organisation for an in-store discount. Now, several months later I've begun receiving 419 scams and fake invoice phishing emails.

This is an address that you really can't just guess.. And it's the only address I'm receiving them on.

The company will not admit they've been breached. Nor will they tell me which parties my information has been supplied to.

Just as well I can block all emails being sent to that address now.. The exact reason I set it up this way.

I can confirm with friends who also signed up that they've started receiving the same emails.

Here's the kicker. It's illegal for them not to notify us of a breach in this country (Australia).

What can I do?
Well, what is existence and nonexistence in this sense? Something which we can measure and see or something which we do not know of because we cannot measure it?
They're expensive
Can't speak for parent, but because they have historically shown themselves to be trustworthy.

I don't know much about the "NPM community," but judging from the bits I do hear, I'm not sure they have done the same. OTOH, I understand that as an outsider that only pay attention when shit blows up, I'm only seeing the bad parts.
> Packages being months behind the latest version is a feature, not a bug

I struggle to convince devs and management about this in the past few years. Everyone's gone crazy about latest and greatest set of features with no respect for stability, maintainability, etc.
I wonder if we could use forensic genealogy to eliminate certain hypothesis to where he went.

Take the hypothesis that he went to Argentina or Venezuela. And say that he had children. Then it's possible to find a match between his relatives in Italy with ones in South America no? If no matches are found, then it's highly probable he didn't go to South America.
Nordic country's as well.

> Why do we need a primary == operator if we have strong_ordering::equal, weak_ordering::equivalent

Weak orderings are defined as orders that can't distinguish between all members, which is why it is called "equivalent" instead of "equal".
The susceptibility for depressive episodes (and suicidal tendencies) is probably the result of other more beneficial "features" rather than evolutional neglect.

For example when you have a serious infection, especially with fever, the immune systems triggers quite a few mental symptoms similar to depression, in an attempt to conserve energy, lessen the impact of the infection and maybe even limit your ability to infect others.
Thank you for creating this.
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but could this be part of the reason for the (maybe just perceived) increase in trans people? I don’t have solid stats, but based off of what I see outside and on the internet, the number of openly trans people has grown tremendously this past decade, and MTF seem to outnumber FTM by a huge margin.

you can’t say stuff like this in public even though it’s true. it’s hurts too many peoples feels
In my opinion there should be different namespaces, similar to what the parent mentioned. There can still be the public namespace as there is now, but there can also be ones registered, such as google/mysql-golang. The other alternative is that it's just linked to Github/Gitlab, but then you run into potential naming collision issues.
Yes, 19" rack-mount server chassis would be a perfect solution, but it is not mandatory. The previous best bet were ORWL devices but I never managed to use them because of several nasty bugs.

An idea to wrap equipment in some kind of a sealant is interesting, but I suppose that we'll face overheating problems in this case.

There is no need to automagically wipe data or to explode anything: sensitive data is protected by encryption, during system startup key are loaded from external removable storage. But I have to be sure that software was not tampered with while server was offline.
We got the logic wrong. Efficiency increases drive centralisation, not decentralisation.

As with the weekly ‘battery breakthrough’: wake me when it turns out to work in practice and production can be scaled.
It was a tongue in cheek remark. I'm pretty well off as I at least have decent job in IT. I try and make life better for friends and family by spending my money. I just wonder how it would be to be on the receiving end of it all.

Also, my very rich friend will bootstrap my company no strings attached. He/she's the best! :)
I don't quite understand.

How is this machine powered? I did not see a bank of solar panels. So are they plugging it in at night? Fuel costs (electric or chemical) would, I think, make this a hard sell against large spray boom operations.
Yeah. Org-mode’s nature is pretty different from Emacs’. I don’t feel that way about Gnus, weirdly. I wonder if I’m missing something there. Helm, like org-mode, is from people getting something pretty different out of Emacs than I am. That’s okay! I just wish we had better terms to describe it.
Let's assume they took it in the form of gold, ergs, Apple store credit etc.
It sounds like you’re saying that regulation, not an unrestrained free market, could solve this problem.
In my kitchen cupboards right now, I have all of these things packaged in plastic and I've never seen an alternative except sometimes milk in returnable glass jugs that nobody in the store knows how to ring up to get the deposit back.
If you can accept losing money to reduce consumption you could withdraw your 20k In cash and let them sit in a safe? But yeah one way or another money will be spent to spin the economy if there is incentive to do it.

Another way might be to accept a smaller salary and work less. The salary economy requires a lot of consumption compared to just sitting at home doing nothing.
The idea of a supranational currency goes back to at least 1940 and Keynes - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bancor .

This is at least 10 years old. What is it doing here now?
Sorta, kinda, not quite.

That's the problem with SaaS - they take your data, silo it up, and expose through highly limited and tightly controlled APIs. Sure, I can make IFTTT save a copy of every picture I upload to Facebook into my Dropbox account (or at least I could, I think it broke). But I can't make it save that picture in original size, because someone didn't expose some option, or an endpoint. Or I can't make IFTTT save all the reactions to my post into a CSV in the format: <<datetime, which post, who, what reaction>>, because such endpoints again aren't exposed or integrated. Etc.

I get that IFTTT & folks are doing the best they can, but the companies they're trying to "mush together" made their money on preventing interoperability, so it's still very far from both what could be and what used to be possible.
CO2 concentration has been a lot higher in the past (e.g. before all the coal deposits formed) without turning Earth into Venus. I think we can safely say that we'll never turn into another Venus.

At the absolute worst we'll reach a moist hothouse scenario: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_greenhouse_effect#Eart...

For starters, developers in other language communities don't publish packages for single line functions.
Interesting to compare to Haskell. Here you typically implement “compare” which is equivalent to the spaceship operator and get < &c for free, but you can implement “<=“ and get compare for free because the defaulting mechanism is general and not built into the compiler. Also “Ord” has to be compatible with “Eq” (which you can also get for free) which is different from C++’s approach. Moreover, the compiler can “derive” implementations for regular data objects.

C# is slightly different: all of the algorithms take an IComparison, which implements the spaceship operator in another class (you can implement the related IComparer in your actual class and it all works via the magic of reflection. This isn't too bad since the reflection only occurs in the constructor.). Comparison operators are basically never used in the standard library and people rarely implement them.
yesterday I had a dollar in my pocket, today I have 2 dollars. Dollars in my pocket is booming right now. But relative to amount of dollars I have or that in the world, not so much. So I think other statistics would be more useful to determine quality of boom.
Reclaim Unreasonable Software
Denial is part of it. Jared Diamond talks about this in "Collapse":

"consider a narrow river valley below a high dam, such that if the dam burst, the resulting flood of water would drown people for a considerable distance downstream. When attitude pollsters ask people downstream of the dam how concerned they are about the dam's bursting, it's not surprising that fear of a dam burst is lowest far downstream, and increases among residents increasingly close to the dam. Surprisingly, though, after you get just a few miles below the dam, where fear of the dam's breaking is found to be highest, concern then falls off to zero as you approach closer to the dam! That is, the people living immediately under the dam, the ones most certain to be drowned in a dam burst, profess unconcern. That's because of psychological denial: the only way of preserving one's sanity while looking up every day at the dam is to deny the possiblity that it could burst. "

Agree, the direction this is going is outdated. Complexity is expensive and erstwhile c++ programmers are now in in cto positions or are responsible for budgets and know this.

The c++ standards need to focus on adding to developer productivity by incorporating micropython to make it more accessible.
> Clearly the correct way to implement this is to run each command in a short-lived container and check the output matches what's expected.

I'm not sure it is clearly correct. Some commands don't produce output, `mkdir` and `cd` for example (the first two in the animation). Furthermore they'd have to blacklist `echo` and other ways to produce the output against the spirit of the exercise... until an answer is, say, `echo $?` - at which point you'd require a preceding command exiting in a suitable way in order to keep the "just execute it" approach workable.
DJI Phantom 3 is 0.3m wide and needs 120W to fly. Solar radiation at surface is 1000W/m2. 0.3m0.3m1000 = 90W at 100% efficiency. They claim 29% eficiency* (compared to regular 23%) which is only 26W out of 120W in ideal circumstances, realistically it would be maybe 1/3 of it. It will not fly.

You can safely ignore ALL articles about breakthroughs in solar cell efficiency and look only at what is sold in shops because that's the only thing that matters. For years this has been 21-23% despite 5 or more articles about solar panel efficiency breakthrough every month for the last 20 years.
I suppose this is a good time to ask whether Coinbase thinks they are a bank, or a brokerage, or both.

If they are a bank, this isn't the end of the world. I've had online banking outages at "normal" banks. It is still a bad thing, but there are other ways I can get my money, like going to a branch.

On the other hand, if Coinbase is like a brokerage, this is really bad. And let's face it, most use of crypto is for investment and speculation purposes. For trades to fail for half an hour is really bad. If they are running this thing like a startup on MongoDB (seriously?) I don't see how anyone who puts their money in can have any confidence of getting it back out.
NiMH and NiCad batteries do have some useful properties. We still use Lead Acid too, despite it begin a truly awful battery in terms of energy density and based on fairly ancient designs because it's incredibly robust against environmental changes, can delivery incredibly high currents and don't care about how to charge them; you can comfortable load them up by plugging them into a 14.4V supply.

NiCad for example is great for low temperature environments and they can deliver almost 100% of their capacity at the maximum rated discharge. They are essentially lead-acid with a tad more energy density and being very sensitive about how they're charged.

NiMH don't have that great of a capacity at maximum rated discharge but they do have a very very low internal resistance while still (almost) matching Lithium batteries in energy density. Additionally, they are almost perfectly constant voltage until discharged, making them suitable for applications where you might not want a complicated voltage controller.

Lithium is actually a fairly difficult cell. Drawing maximum discharge will reduce capacity, they don't like shocks or extreme temperatures and their voltage stability is meh at best. They also heat up a lot when charging or discharging, making cooling circuits required in some scenarios. They do have extraordinary energy density though.

Don't discount other battery types; battery chemistry dictates the behaviour of the battery under load scenarios, Lithium batteries aren't always the answer.
Largest reason is that trans, homosexual and bisexual people don't have to fear being killed or shunned by their families or in school any more. (Yes, in reality they do have to fear discrimination, but soxiety as a large has gotten way, way more open in the last 30 years!)

Trans people were known in ancient Greece ffs, it's mostly thanks to the Catholic church and its "morals" that we ended up with imprisoning people for being gay or trans.
Some, probably most suicides are quite spontaneous, but many are thought out over a long period. People grab what's at hand because it's the best method they know of. Suicide options are a frustratingly hard topic to google, you get a lot of hotlines but useful information is hard to find.
Not sure where you are but in the UK Timpsons are absolutely everywhere (although the quality and pricing of repairs seems pretty hit and miss - some stores are excellent, others less so).

And there are still plenty of independent shops kicking about. Most places offering lock smith services also offer shoe repair.

At an ancient Egyptian exhibit some years back what most fascinated me were small personal items: hand mirrors, tweezers, make-up kits, dice, and other entertainments.
If you're still up for this, publish the source on GitHub. That's an excellent idea and I'd like to participate :)
@dane-pgp's suggestion of verifying the hack by checking the source repository is great too. Maybe it'd be easiest to just name the endpoints something like `/ping/github/<handle>/<package>`.
8 different trashcans? I'm in Munich, the recycling stations have 3 glass, 1 plastics, 1 aluminium container.
To elaborate, solar energy hitting the Earth’s surface is about a kilowatt/m^2 if conditions are perfect. If you were able to convert solar power at the maximum theoretical PV efficiency (the Shockley-Queisser limit, 33.7%), you’d need about 3 square meters to just to make toast.
Are you referring to Lithium or just saying they need one more medication, on average, to get them out of their very deep hole?
Come to Switzerland, we have well over 90% success rate here. Also: some people complain the total amount of recycled material is only a fraction of European average. Oh well...
In a sense, any API that has its own functions and data structures becomes like a DSL. For example OpenGL feels like its own language, even when you write it in C or C++, or C#.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. Truth is stranger than fiction in the land of JavaScript. Could any developer 20 years ago predict this is what software engineering on the Web would devolve to ?
Would be interesting to see the fractions by mass rather than number of products. The latter could just be that we have many many varieties of chips and soda and only a few varieties of flour.
I wonder if the DK effect is really an implicit narrowing or widening of the population.

I would guess thay I'm an above-average sprinter. But that's because I'm assuming there are 2 year olds and 80-year-olds in the population. If you ask a runner, they are likely to compare themselves against other runners and probably not even consider someone like me in the population.

C++ just has this under-the-hood access to be able to define any comparison operator to do arbitrary things.

C++20 is now more aware that this things are used for comparison, and it helps to make definitions shorter.

Still handles non-totally-ordered cases fine.
