C++ is hugely successful, that's true, but is there a need for an other C++-style language? C++ already feels like 10 languages under a trenchcoat anyway, whatever your style you'll probably find a subset of it you'll like. I think it showed how powerful "C-with-classes-and-the-kitchensink" can be, and also the limits of the concept.

C is light but it does have some things worth breaking IMO. Type inference is something I dearly miss when I write C these days (and I do that a lot). C didn't have any generic programing for a long time (if you don't count macro soup, that is), now it has some very limited support but it still looks like banging rocks together compared to more modern languages.

C's unsafety is legendary, and segfaults a common problem even for experienced programmers. Rust's lifetimes makes them impossible by design for safe code.

You may not like that of course, but those are all good reasons for experimenting with other paradigms.

>Arguably, the preprocessor is orthogonal to the programming language itself. I fail to see how that's relevant.

Arguably it is, practically it very much isn't.

So far as binge drinking:

I used to go to parties, drink too much, and then act like a jerk.

My brother-in-law kicked me out of his house. After I stopped binge drinking and atoned I get along better with my brother-in-law, which is a real benefit.

Otherwise:

The worst immediate consequence of overdrinking is that you feel worse the next day. Alcohol can mess up your sleep and also feed into the metabolic disorder behind insulin resistance and Type II diabetes.

I don't think you will notice a difference between 2 beers a night and no alcohol at all, but if you drink more than that you probably will perform worse the next day.
Living in a rural, Norwegian area, I can remember seeing the following brands of tractors recently - Fiat, Zetor, Case, John Deere, New Holland and Massey Ferguson. I've probably not paid attention to at least a couple more - I am not a tractor aficionado...
Urban Meets Rural Face-to-Face (2019)
Snapchat is still extremely popular among people my age (20s). Vine only died because it was killed off, the community was thriving. If anything, tiktok shows that it was a mistake to kill off vine; functionally it's the same sort of content.
I wouldn't call it all progress. I mean, we require fertilizer and pesticides today. There was a time when neither was needed.
I suppose it will be a good while before we can approach an empirical proof for this sort of thing, since FMCW lidars are still very scarce, even more so than pulsed lidars right now. However, even if every car does have an FMCW lidar, the conditions required to get them to interfere with each other is are:

a) Have identical laser wavelength. Not just '905nm' or '1550nm', but _precisely_ the same wavelength. This is very hard to do even if you try.

b) Have a coincident beam path. Again, this needs to be very precisely aligned.

c) Have an overlapping coherence area. This is a bit technical, but it is a higher bar than just having spots spatially overlapping.

d) Have coherent+matching phase fronts at the detector. Again this is a fairly technical subject these properties vary along the beam path, and transversely. This also vary in time, temperature and many other things. The source lidar is able to 'interfere' with itself (in other words, get a signal), because it compensates for all of these effects with a local copy of the outgoing laser light. Other lidars' outgoing beams will in general, even for 100 cars, not be 'synced up' in this way.

Moreover, those conditions are just the intrinsic interference rejection properties of coherent lidars. Layered on top of that is that two lidars need to be using the same type of modulation, bullseye each other as they scan around the FOV, and provide enough photons to actually contribute to the signal. Then, if you satisfy all of those prerequisites, the interfering lidar also needs to overcome any heuristic/algorithmic rejection of spurious signals. Finally, if all of those conditions match up and you get a signal to punch through, and it's strong enough to over come the true signal, and you can't tell that it's an erroneous signal, then it will result on one bad/missing point in a frame of thousands of points, present for one frame.

You're correct, however, that there is a saturation issue. If you just DOS the photo diodes with photons you can potentially prevent any signals from getting through. But again, this isn't super easy to do. The detectors will almost certainly be balanced, not single ended, and AC coupled. So you really have to blast the photo diode, effectively bringing it up to it's damage threshold so it is just flooded with current and can't do anything, and/or just breaks. The raw laser light doesn't do much, both because the DC signal is rejected and because the balanced detectors will reject common mode signals (clearly you know this already). You also have the same issue with needing to shine into a very narrow field of view, at the right time, for long enough to matter.

I don't disagree, but I think this applies to engineering salaries too, not just management salaries. Sometimes it's just useful to have a reference point.

Just don't hook the "smart TV" up to the internet. Then you have a dumb TV.
There's an unmet need in social networks for "identity verified and protected", wherein the social network proves to a reasonable^ degree of certainty that you are who you say you are, and then you are permitted to maintain an anonymous identity (which you may end and replace with a new one at any time).

^ Notarization, at $25/each, would be sufficient. Bank account verification and credit card verification would not be sufficient, nor would "upload a photo of your ID". There's no sidestepping the "human being evaluates your actual identity documents" stage.
Lots of pawn shops will pay cash for them.
They’re a lazy gift because somehow offering cash direct has become a problem. So just spend the same money but make sure a retailer has already profited from it.

Direct cash is infinitely better than deciding where someone much spend money at.

No gift at all and the promise of a good moment together is even better than that. Enjoy your time, not your possessions.

Good old consumerism in action.

People willing to relocate for work benefits employers, though this tends isolate individuals from their extended families (which may seem like a plus, until you, say, have kids but no grandparents to shuttle them around; or unwell elders without anyone left to care for them).
My father is an agricultural mechanic here in Ireland. Lots of farmers here use very old tractors. It’s not unusual to see David Brownes, Case Internationals, Massey Fergusons, John Deeres and Zetors going back 20 – 30 years or more.

There’s a strong industry of companies selling spares too. Many farmers simply can not afford they new stuff and in many cases they are huge in size making them unsuited to small out buildings on family farms. That’s before all this new wave of shitty behaviour towards repairing rights and software.
My mistake. Thanks for pointing this out.
> Unlimited time off is bullshit. Think of this as no time off.

I'm so tired of hearing this. I think there are some professions/job levels where that is true (client facing jobs or higher up managers), but for most non-management development jobs, this just isn't the case. I've worked at three different companies that have had unlimited time off (I seek it out now) and I have plenty of friends who have worked at companies that have unlimited time off as well.

I've had a few friends work at companies where "unlimited time off" = "no time off", but those are the exception not the rule, in my experience (and usually down to a bad manager somewhere in the chain of command).

I've been at my new company 6 months and have already taken 4 1/2 weeks off. I had a friend take 6 weeks off to backpack through Europe. Two companies ago I took off the entire month of September one year. I'm convinced people who say "Unlimited time off is bullshit" are just bad communicators.

If are at a company that has unlimited time off and actually want to use it beyond just a few days a year, here's my tips:

- Get your work done. Above all else, when you are in office, get your shit done. You want your manager to trust you and be able to justify your job if someone higher up goes "why are we paying someone who isn't even here".

- Be aware of your teams workload. Don't try and take a month off two weeks before you're about to ship a mission critical piece of feature.

- Communicate with your manager/PM/team early and often. If you want to take a month off, let everyone know a few months in advance. Planning is usually done quarterly. Letting your boss know you are going to be gone for a month allows them to only schedule two months of work for you instead of three. Additionally, remind them occasionally that you are going to be gone (I usually bring it up every other one on one)

- Before you go, make sure your work is wrapped up or handed off to someone else. Don't start a task and then disappear for a month.

- If possible, leave a "how and when I'm reachable". You don't need to always be working or even online, but seeming available (even if you're not needed) does a lot to calm nerves. Things like leaving a phone number where you can be reached incase of emergency, listing dates where you will be 100% unreachable, and checking email or slack occasionally for high priority things (I tend to do this while I'm sitting in the airport) make things so much easier for managers.

I know a lot of this seems like common sense, but so people get it wrong and then complain when they get reprimanded because they didn't do it.

If you provide value when you're at work and make sure you leaving causes as few disruptions as possible, taking large portions of "unlimited vacation" is totally possible.

There are so many ways its hard to be truly secure. Just about everything your browser does (or can be asked to do), plus what it gives as a side effect of normal usage can yield some fingerprintable data. The variance is in how detailed or what is fingerprinted (you vs device/browser, OS, etc.). Once you cross correlate, you can bring in a tighter fingerprint.

Since you weren't specific with the areas of concern, I'm just listing some factors and defenses off the top of my head (not all are practical or precise, but in combination can be useful):

* IP: Geo, location, person/device when correlated. --> VPN, TOR, etc. It would have to rotate to break correlation. Using wifi can pin you to a location or type of business (e.g. a specific coffee shop).

* Cookies: Easy to block, session limit, restrict to origin (despite cookies' scoping).

* User Agent: Can be easily forged or rotated, but can break some functionality. Lying may not be adequate since other browser features can expose your lie.

* Javascript: Can expose browser type (based on capabilities), enumerate plugins (plugins+versions, etc.), etc. Basically the general purpose leak source here.

* Plugins: Ball of fun, but thankfully less needed these days. Don't use them.

* CSS: You can use selective CSS content loading to identify browsers, or possibly users, leak some content (not much). Hard to turn off.

* Fonts: Font set enumeration, or what ones are fetched can expose OS, etc. Can be disabled.

* Images: Similar to other remote resources. Could be disabled but makes browsing pretty tough these days.

* Browser caching: Guessing this can be abused based on the presence (or absence) of a fetch. Could be turned off, but in the age of giant payload websites it will suck.

* Other hard to control things (but probably impractical anyway): Supported TLS algs, network packets, known vulnerabilities, etc.

I see two main strategies: Noise, and looking 'average'. Both have tradeoffs and are likely to be more effective in different scenarios. Noise can help avoid correlating independent events, but can push you to be a recognizeable outlier if the noise is repeatable. Looking average lets you hide among others (assuming you can define average). Browser defaults are moving us toward this; but system customization can move you back.
Nice. That is pretty much the same reason I am stopping. Did you notice any other benefits on a large or small scale?

I still think the internet was a net good.
well, if you just don't network the 'smart TV,' you can still have a dumb tv while benefitting from the subsidized hardware.
Curious what you work on in the 900 MHz space :). I come from enterprise Healthcare so it's mostly about connecting very new consumer type devices and very old pieces of shit.

I think the 802.11 group wanted to offer low to mid speed Ethernet/IP + traditional wireless security managed the same as the rest of the devices which makes some sense I just didn't (and still don't) think the types of devices using 900 MHz care about fitting in that mold enough to adopt.

Pretty much everything 900 MHz has the chicken and egg scenario on hardware/protocol right now so I didn't/don't count that in my reasoning. There's not really a single protocol that has a large number of products deployed in a large number of verticals where you can safely say "we'll just attach to the existing 900 MHz radio at the customer site". Some protocols at some verticals yes but not enough that choice is locked in due to chicken/egg blocking changes.

Overall though while 802.11 is going to continue iterating 2.4/5 they are heavily interested in offering Wi-Fi in basically any unrestricted frequency. Moving extremely high bandwidth things to 60 GHz, moving low bandwidth things to 900 MHz, moving new clients to 6 GHz. They've come to realize they can come up with the coolest protocol in the world but there is only so much you can do with the 60 MHz of space in 2.4 when devices with wireless N chips are still being sold. There are even talks with hardware vendors looking at interest in the 50 MHz of space in the 3.7 range for things that should be 2.4 but 2.4 is too crowded.

.

Edit: I just realized out of all of that babbling I never said why I didn't think 900 MHz Wi-FI would take off. They made some protocol changes to make it reasonable to use at low bandwidth long range but not enough. That combined with the desire for long range Wi-Fi itself already being niche almost guaranteed hardware manufacturers weren't going to be very interested. I think there was a company in France that actually started sampling some AH hardware but it's only partial spec and very low bandwidth.
Austere Scholars seem to disagree.
They increase property values for existing property owners in high-demand areas by preventing innovative mixed-use implementations. Forcing supply of office space or residential area down, while demand stays high, causes prices to increase.

Because you can go online and place holds on many books and the library will ship them to your prefered branch once available and then shelve them for pick-up. There's a significant amount of effort and cost, plus most holds are for the same limited supply of popular books; while your hold is sitting there counteless others are waiting.

The fine is to discourage making hold requests and then never claiming them.

Have you ever been there? I went a bunch of times just to use it as a coffee shop and it felt no different to any other coffee shop from that perspective. Hard to imagine who benefits from this (other than the national/multinational coffee chains in the surrounding blocks).
The issue seems to be the combination of more than 30% of the floor space being dedicated to reserved seating, and the Cafe charging for those reservations.

What's more surprising to me is that an area zoned for retail restaurants is not zoned for office use. I see shop fronts in strip malls converted to ad-hoc office space all the time.

I assume this is a zooming regulation specific to SF? What would be the rationale behind it?
I come from at least three generations of cattle farmers. My dad had to work a tool and die job, because unlike his father, it was already not possible to raise a family via family farm.

They also make money by reselling ISAs to hedge funds. This could stop happening in a few years if the ISAs don’t pan out, and the hedge funds stop buying them. But right now the school is protected regardless of outcome.

The other issue is that bootcamps can collect that money even if they provide no value. Say a student gets nothing out of the bootcamp, and spends the next three years on rigorous self-study.

The only upside for students is if the bootcamp fails, and they totally give up on a career in programming. If you have an ISA hanging over your head that might cost you upwards of $30k, I’d say it’s more likely you’ll give up than if you blew $7k up-front.
This decision is a real shame. There is real value to a space like Workshop that provides food and business services in a social space in the Financial District. A decision like this, which does not take into account the consequences to SF's everyday life, is one of the thousand tiny cuts the city inflicts on itself to no purpose.
