ABI stability of the STL is the biggest issue I've seen. Upgrading from C++11 to C++17 becomes a bust if any of your 3rd party libraries want to pass even a basic std::string.

I don't know what the hold up is on modules. Even a basic "this header uses a C++11 namespace" functionality would fix most of the problems.

But even better would be something like "extern 'Cwrapper'" that would let you expose C++ objects as a C API with a void* object pointer without having to do the pointless wrapper dance every time.

Like make the compiler convert "class Thing { doThing(int a); }" to "typedef void* Thing; Thing_doThing(Thing* this, int a);" automatically so that other languages can call me.
You could require a signal from >1 microphone, but then that would make the system less reliable if any of the mics were occluded. And this would be to prevent an attack which is kind of ridiculous in the first place.

I wasn't claiming that there isn't any software built 20+ years ago which hasn't seen updates and yet still works and still has utility.

The point is there isn't much of it relative to the wider ecosystem.
One particularly important reason for that is security. Most of the dependencies for software written 20+ years ago have long since been EOL'd and are therefore vulnerable.
Stripe is by far the best developer experience I’ve had in my career working with third party APIs/services. The attention to detail is just second to none, and documentation is a big part of this.
Black holes are a singularity. They have an even horizon but it's not really a surface of an object it's just a place in space where certain conditions occur. What happens underneath that horizon (and in the singularity) isn't solidly known.
>Just realize going in what's actually possible and what's political marketing. Fixing this is going to take a lot more work on everyone's part than simply casting a vote.

You're not wrong, but at the same token why are Presidential candidates always speaking about things like: taxes; immigration; same sex marriage; healthcare?

The President doesn't control any of those things, doesn't have those powers...that's all the legislature.

While it may be just marketing for a candidate to say they will forgive existing students loans and provide for free education paid for by taxing the banks on what are currently tax free transactions...if that candidate wins, the 2 political parties will begin listening to voters and do what it takes to win their votes back.
Sure you can get lots of leverage with things like treasuries and forex. That’s because the underlying securities are so boring and non-volatile it’s safer for the lender. In this case you can get as much leverage as you want, and can spend it on silly, extremely risky things (such as a far OTM option expiring in a few days) which is dumb from the perspective of the lender

It's the other way around. Google, and a lot of other big name companies, have their hands deep in policy-making. You should be just as sick that these companies are pulling these strings all the time in politics as you are with your coworkers at Google.

At least your coworkers are on your side and fighting for the good cause, unlike your employer.

Well, it's what prevents Apple Inc. from suing Safeway over their ridiculous use of the term "apple" to describe red fruit.
Do you have any numbers that back up what percentage of German driving is covered by what you are talking about? I gave numbers for average German driving, therefore more than 50% of German driving trips can be handled with no gas by a plugin hybrid. This cannot be considered "rarely" as was your original contention. Even your 60 mile example, 1/3 of the distance being covered by electric is not "rarely".

Do plugin hybrids or EVs solve all current transportation problems for all transport distances? No. Is there a issue with subsidizing luxury vehicles? Yes. But I wanted to correct your incorrect statement about plugin hybrids.
There are such co-ops, in fact -- actually most of them operate on a franchise model. In our area, IGA was one. Our local grocery store was not a member.

You can get pretty darn close: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._Lindows.com....

> As early as 2002, a court rejected Microsoft's claims, stating that Microsoft had used the term "windows" to describe graphical user interfaces before the product, Windows, was ever released, and the windowing technique had already been implemented by Xerox and Apple many years before. Microsoft kept seeking retrial, but in February 2004, a judge rejected two of Microsoft's central claims. The judge denied Microsoft's request for a preliminary injunction and raised "serious questions" about Microsoft's trademark. Microsoft feared a court may define "Windows" as generic and result in the loss of its status as a trademark.

Microsoft settled the lawsuit they filed by buying the name "Lindows" for $20M.

Because when they're ineffective oil gets spilled. We have a vested interest in oil being produced as cleanly and effectively as possible until we can lessen our dependence on it.

Furthermore, the OPEC countries don't care at all and will happily sell you oil at a nice markup if Shell and Exxon can't.
Could someone describes the keyword "unlikely" and "likely" in a bit more details? It seem to be a very niche thing to add to the language. Is it expected that those hints will have an impact important enough regarding what the optimizer can do?

They can force him to stop using their branding, so definitely more than 0.

I don't really know how clearer it can be, that's exactly what they did, and it's totally enforceable because he's calling himself "Krispy Kreme Run Minnesota". Not "2nd Hand Donut Run" or "Donuts R Us".

He's passing himself off as associated with the company. Whether he realises, or intended to, or not. I don't believe he did, but you can't call yourself a name with a branded trademark and be surprised when they shut you down.

Imagine if a bookstore opened calling itself "Amazon Bookstore" with a facebook page plastered with Amazon packaging, just like this guy has done? Think that'd stay open long?

You can say "Nope" again, but you're still wrong.
(i appreciate your response, and i do not want to appear to pick your statement apart for the sake of arguing. if anything it's my ignorance showing in this matter. apologies for that)

but doesn't any of what you say imply a treaty between those two countries?

this is getting of course country specific, but my company has hired people in other countries before. and the problem is not trying to get around employment law, but rather that i don't see any options to treat that person as an employee.

we can not employ anyone unless they have the legal right to work in the country of employment. to be an employee in a US company, i need to have a work visa for the US. i do not see any other option there.

for this to work without a visa, there would have to be a category of foreign remote employees. i have never heard about any such thing.

in other words, without a treaty between the respective countries, an employer/employee relationship is not legally possible.

how would you pay my social security or insurance? without a treaty that defines this, you can't. you have to give me the cash and let me pay by myself.
Hmm, that shouldn't happen – mind shooting me an email with an ID or two that failed? rattrayalex at stripe.
One of the only real quality disappointments I've had with REI was fairly recently when about a 3 year old lightly-used camp sleeping pad started slow leaks from all over the pad. Obviously whatever material they used to keep the air on the inside had just broken down. I probably should have at least tried to return it but I couldn't be bothered. Looking online, I was far from the only person with this problem.

This article is just catnip for hacker news. There are good reasons why 'big tech' exists, as Schumpeter explained many decades ago (or Tyler Cowen recently in his book on big business), large companies are productive, innovative and essentially more dynamic due to capital they accumulate than some bazaar economy that writers like Doctorow imagine. Small is not beautiful.
Large scale complex problems can only be solved by institutions that are sufficiently complex and large to deal with them. Monopolistic competition produces better outcomes than a sort of hyper-competitive market of small players who are constantly squeezed to produce short-term results.

Competition and lack of regulation do not necessarily result in more safety or higher standards as a look at the 'crypto-economy' proves, and consumers will probably not benefit from having big tech broken up, and it would hurt regions like the EU or the US internationally to stifle their own businesses.

The problem with big tech isn't the size, it's that many company's goals are not aligned with the interests of society at large or the state. The thing to do is to regulate them, provide incentives and rules to fix their problems even if it comes at the cost of competition.
I don't see the reason why you get downvoted.

The laws are made by the lawmakers (congress, parliaments, etc.)

Justice is there as the supreme/ultimate power to resolve issues between parties. We can't go around smashing heads because "my colour/your colour". When two parties have an issue that cannot be resolved amicably (I don't mean crimes), then Justice gets to say the final word. We live in a civilized world.
It is definitely the case for ski gear ( skis/boots ), bike gear, cold weather gear, helmets, backpacks, etc. Northface store? 25% off. REI? List price. Columbia store? 25% off. REI? List price. Patagonia store? 15% off. REI? List price. Atomic REI? List price in Feb. Atomic at EVO? 25% off in Jan. Yeti at REI? List price. Yeti pretty much anywhere else? 10% off.

People justify it because of the dividends gimmick. Hell, I fell the first year for it myself.
Alright, so ONE of the highest valued companies ever.

No, you're just a hateful individual suffering from brand envy.

See? Assumptions are easy and fun indeed!
> There is a difference between a company and it's individual employees, and rephrasing the statement such that "employees of a company" is replaced with "a company"

Unless there's a good argument that managers and executives are somehow different than other employees, companies pushing for political goals absolutely are employees of a company using their position to push private political goals.
The political-speech restriction and other non-profit rules for houses of worship are the same as for the registered 501(c)(3) charities. But they don't have to seek approval from the IRS, and they don't have to file form 990s every year. (Form 990 is sorta like a corporate tax return.)

In many of these situations, the denominational office has sought approval from the IRS, and has an Employer ID number that appears in the nonprofit search. https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/ This is helpful for getting access to various corporate nonprofit donations. For example, Microsoft Office for nonprofits is very inexpensive.

> Instead of owning peoples labor via API, why not consider the 1 Presidential candidate who is campaigning to forgive all existing student debt and make college free moving forward by god forbid...taxing the same banks the taxpayers bailed out from bankruptcy just 10 years ago.

The people who make these decisions are the ones who own the banks the taxpayers bailed out and are rewarded handsomely by the current system. Bernie would get assassinated long before he could change this sort of thing. The idea that we can just vote our way out of the current quagmire we find ourselves in is a pipe dream. The system is crafted to preserve/increase the power of the merchant class, and has been literally since the inception of the union. Modern technology/weapons/propaganda essentially ensures that there is no way to oppose the US Government and those who control it.

The last time I slept in a room with a wind-up clock, I moved it out of the room, the ticking was annoying. Though even if I had a wind-up clock, I doubt I'd remember to wind it up every night - I barely remember to plug in my phone.

Back when I was doing hourly shift-work and I absolutely had to be to work on-time, I used a battery operated travel alarm clock like this:

The AAA battery lasted a long time (like a year or more).
My wife & I have somewhat variable success with this method. You can find killer deals if you are an unusual size. But if you're a Medium in men's or a size 6 in women's, good luck finding anything. Perhaps a little counter-intuitively, the most common sizes are picked clean first.
As an example, only strong regulatory intervention opened up the EU telecoms market.
You're also reducing their ability to produce oil safely and effectively, while simultaneously handing more economic power to oppressive OPEC regimes.

Weaning ourselves off of oil is the first step not the last.
No, that's not how it worked. The messages weren't arranged in paragraphs. They were snipped to fit inside the pre-printed box on the telegraph form.

And even very rich people didn't send multi-paragraph telegrams. You paid by the letter. Most telegrams were two sentences or less. Sometimes two words or fewer.
You seem to be confusing small towns for suburban sprawl.

Small towns don't have the problems you list: build a massive McMansion on the edge of town you are still walking distance to the other edge of the town. The whole value of your house will be more than a tiny house in San Francisco despite having 10x the floor area and 100x the land.

Hiways have been good for rural areas overall, because the few people who live there can get the things they need quicker. (when the trains existed before they didn't come often enough to be useful). In the suburbs the hiways killed the possibility of useful trains, but in rural areas that possibility didn't exist anyway. (if the hiways were worth the cost is a different question)
The tricky part of this is that if your project is a library, you're not just opting into having to update your own toolchain, but also that of all your users. This means that a lot of library developers will err on the side of not updating their minimum version, which in turn means application developers don't have as much pressure to update either. This isn't specific to C++ by any means, but I think it does pop up a bit more in this space due to the fact that a lot of developers prefer to just use the default toolchain of their system, so forcing downstream users to update their toolchain could be viewed as a bit more of a maintenance burden.
Terrible. Horribly ineffective for co2 reduction, but politically palatable by the upper class because they'll be the ones most benefiting from it.
The hardware can be much cheaper. Furthermore, stealing very expensive cars would pay off the cost very quickly.
Simply being born is no justification for stealing by fiat. People should be rewarded for saving capital. Forcing people to gamble their money only to maintain the wealth they already earned is not ethical. It is sufficient for people to be incentivized to spend money on things that are useful or interesting and to invest for higher return where the investment is sound.

EDIT: the money stolen by fiat is not evenly redistributed, and definitely not in favour of the poorest.

In 1991 I updated for the last time a piece of software (DOS based with proprietary multithreading and graphics layers). The software controls some scientific device, collects, processes and displays experimental data in real time and stores data for later analysis.

About 2 years ago or so I think I was shocked to discover that they're still using said device and the software in unmodified form running it under DOSBox or something like that

Can this Interferometric Reflectometry technique be done using just a cheap GPS module? As I understand it you'd need to get access to something like the raw IQ samples coming out of the GPS analog-to-digital converter in order to determine the time difference between the true signal and the reflected one, which I wouldn't expect to be possible with a cheap integrated GPS - I'd love to hear it's possible though!
Without actually looking at the docs, I would guess these map directly to cpu intrisics that can be used to guide the cpu branch prediction algorithms.

As a nerd who also married a doctor and went rural -

1) Doctors tend to make more money in rural areas. Hospitals/practices tend to offer higher salaries/bonuses/etc in order to draw talent. My wife makes roughly 50% more in an area of 30,000 people (mind you, we're talking a pretty large geographic area) than she would in Miami.

2) Money goes further. My 4500sq ft home on 1.2 acres of land is worth considerably less than my previous 1700sq ft townhome on .1 acre of land back in northern Virginia near DC.

personal opinion:

3) Some of us just don't want to live in a city. A weekend trip to a city a couple of times a year is enough for me.

> using plain old file explorer

If you really like the plain (really) old stuff, winfile.exe is open-source and can be built for modern day Windows[1].

Sure there were still some data structures that were limited by being designed in the old 16bit era. Fun fact: even today kernel "Unicode strings" are limited to a length that can be held in a signed 16bit value. Fortunately 32,767 is enough for anybody so it was never changed.
Let's say customer 1234 wants us to delete his/her customer record, so we issue the following statement:

DELETE FROM customers WHERE customer_id = 1234;

The statement runs successfully and of course we would expect the customer record to be deleted, because that's what we just said, isn't it? However, the customer is still there somehow. What has happened? Was our statement wrong?

It turns out our applications has triggers and by surprise the DELETE changed into

UPDATE customers SET contract_status = 'terminated' WHERE emp_id = 1234;

just because a few years ago someone thought that the logic of terminating a contract should be wrapped in a now long-forgotten trigger that magically transforms a straightforward DELETE into an UPDATE.

If the developer had instead put the logic into a procedure like terminate_contract(customer_id), we wouldn't have had this problem in the first place.
