Market share, maybe.

Mindshare - Lisp has its zealots. C++ is tolerated rather than adored, because it's more of a Katamari Damacy of stray CS than a language with a coherent focus.

How many other languages have a Turing complete sublanguage built into them just to handle templating?
This paradigm is already supported by Container Tabs. It seems like Firefox is really close to the ideal of sharing memory without sharing user data.
> have you ever thought that the real problem was that the front and back of your computer are backwards?

I do, actually! I thought I was alone in that.

I have my PC with the back facing the front. I actually flipped it to stop it from overheating from having the vents be against the walls, but I really like the easy access to the ports. It also makes opening the side panel easier, since they tend to be made to slide towards the back.
The obvious example that comes to mind is a simple keylogger.
That's fair... but how exactly are we to call out these abuses otherwise? (Without having a trivially traceable e-mail address.)

Maybe it's an idea for a new "button" other than spam/flag/etc..

FWIW, I think I backed up my accusation adequately for at least a mod review.

EDIT: To be even more meta... I sense a certain pattern in your comments, sir. What gives?

EDIT#2: Love your retaliation by downvoting totally unrelated comments, btw. Wtf?

From the linked article: “With mounting debts, the company was absorbed into a bigger construction conglomerate in 2006 – but continues to pair traditional temple building techniques with the latest technology.”
Creativity is absolutely pattern matching. We're not creative as much as we are marvellous recombinators.

If a creative were asked what their process is, wouldn't they have to honestly answer, "I don't know yet, but I'll know it when I see it"?
If everyone can forgive my ignorance... I used to call everything in the std:: namespace as just that, the standard template library (STL) (whatever it's iteration). So is this C++03 /C++11 stuff just updates to this library, or is std::string recognised at the compiler level? (Genuinely confused).

(In old man voice) We ended up rolling out own stuff and marking std:: verboten. Why? Stl was too slow, too verbose, and too hard to grok the stack when debugging. We ended up with less memory fragmentation, less dangling ptrs, etc etc. In the rare case there was something in STL that was actually cool (or faster, which was very rare), we'd gut it and reef out the part that was cool to use in our implementation.

I presume these comments aren't popular (sorry about that, but this is during 90s and early 00s when dev cycles were clearly different). Eg. We had string classes in all different flavours, some would interop, some wouldn't. Eg. We had tree and hash classes that, while templateable, had a few core implementations that made compilation fast. We had various ptr management systems (ref counted, stack based, etc).

We made STL between verboten in all APIs because we been burnt so many times using (/trying to use) other ppls APIs that exposed STL in its library.
(We were exclusively a windows shop, if that helps understand my confusion... PS. I'm retired these days and have been out of the c++ game >10yrs)
> "unintentional" is a straight up lie based on how software works

This is a very dangerous statement to make.

Large systems are not like hackathon projects where you might understand and hold the entire scope and flow in your mind.

Software absolutely can and does lead to unintended outcomes, else there would be no bugs.
The money part pays for everything else.
That's fascinating! We're 100% going into that direction, and the necessary algo work to do this reliably is not trivial.

Thank for the great pointers!
Key quote from the conclusion: "Neural Networks are not just good for things we don't know how to solve, they can provide massive performance gains on problems we already know how to solve."

That quote is in reference to tasks such as physics simulation. There is an incredible GIF in the OP which shows a digital mannequin being manipulated, with its dress flowing in a hyper-realistic manner due to ML physics simulation. It would be uncanny to see that type of simulation combined with AR.

I'm curious to what extent ML physics simulation may be beneficial for self-driving cars. Generally, we as drivers know the physical properties of objects that we can collide with. Cars don't have that understanding, so they might "think" that colliding with a large paper bag is unacceptable. Stopping suddenly because of that paper bag may be fatal.

Not to be mean but I'm sceptical of CVs like that too. I expect people to stick around for a while. I need to know I can depend on them not to jump ship at the slightest hiccup.

Unless they can give me a reasonable explanation for the job hopping I'm not going to take the risk.

If I want mercenaries I'll just get some freelancers.
I feel like market research has gotten significantly better, but a blinkered focus on it is destroying brands. It may be a fairly predictable pattern that the most lucrative customers are the worst people, the most gullible, badge obsessed stereotypes who just want to show off. And a brand might not have been defined by them completely, but once it starts having that association, and the data shows that is where the most money can be made, nobody can maintain any other vision for the brand. It's kind of like the classic dilemma of a company facing disruptive innovation, where they can't respond even when everyone can see what's coming.
There have been vulnerabilities in java and rails caused by deserializing arbitrary classes with given constructor parameters.

An attacker just has to find one that (e.g.) accepts a url and a filepath in its constructor and saves the file to that location, and you've (usually) got code execution (by eg overwriting something that gets run frequently).
> And the back door doesn't even have to be found to be abused.

The government itself is likely to abuse such back doors. LOVEINT is a documented practice.

Meanwhile governments throughout the world are mandating the use of Signal for communication. Common folks are not special enough to justify strong encryption but it's totally valid for government use. Helps hide their corrupti-- I mean state secrets.
What country are you in, if you don’t mind me asking?
The importance of government research is waning. Most academics vying for government funding are in various states of despair. The blow up in the size of universities and the number of PhDs etc has created a lot of competition with perverse incentives. In biotech, nothing interesting gets done without very early private investment (pharma mainly, some VCs).
Explaining "Considered Harmful" Essays Considered Harmful
I think locks are a bad analogy. Going online without encryption is like living in a house without walls or windowshades. It's less about physical access and more about people being able to see what you're doing. Even if you're not doing anything "wrong", the lack of privacy still feels uncomfortable.
No problem. I was just trying to give a little context for why I was stalking the guy. In trying to avoid looking like a creeper I see how it just came off as petty. Neither was my intent. I appreciate the check.

It's not a mystery; Facebook was getting people to upload their contacts and mining those for People You May Know. Some ex might still have the divorced spouse in contacts, particularly if they share a kid. Two clients of the same psychiatrist will both have their shrink's number in contacts.
Cool. Thanks for sharing the link. That website takes the idea of steps to a whole new level. It's definitely not a "one man company".

Hey, by the way, I just checked your HN profile and it doesn't have a link to your website.
Didn't got much better since then with regard to that aspect. IMHO C++ tried to adapt many features which had shown succesfull since then, but instead of properly putting them into the language they often got implemented in a way which I would describe as "somehow hacked in to try to avoid to actually introduce new features" but others might describe as implemented in a very C++ish way in symmetry to other features. Anyway the result is often sup-par. Not downright shit but worse then it should be and more important making the features work less good (from a complexity+usability POV) then in the languages they where copied from.
The article says that the price of IOTA has gone up in the last 2 weeks. What does that mean? I don't see how people can be buying and selling IOTA if they are not able to send or receive it.
Yes, but in this case it is a highly desirable outcome for Facebook. They didn't just get lucky.
REPLs are not new. At all.

165KB is still a lot of pretty-making text. Attitudes like that are why "webapps" eat hundreds of megabytes of memory for tasks where low-tens would be more than enough, even allowing for some slopping programming and lots of abstractions. That 165KB hangs around in memory in probably more than one form, and becomes part of future layout decisions on the page, if they come up.
I think you are confusing the documented policies with how the world actually works.
> Do I understand that everyone was potentially added 23 years to their sentence because of a few inmates they had nothing to do with? And the justification you give is that they're all dangerous, so it's ok?

No, you misunderstand that. Just because the inmates are locked down for 23 hours a day (allowed out for exercise) doesn't mean that they don't get released at the end of their sentence, when the judge ordered them to be released.

When I came into the federal prison system, I flew from Seattle to Denver to Oklahoma City on Con-Air. At the stop in Denver, a boarding inmate was seated by me and struck up a cheerful conversation. He told me he was thrilled to be out and about, that he was from the Supermax in Colorado Springs. He said that going out for court was the only time he got to eat cheeseburgers. Said he had to try to kill a guard in order to get sent out. I never saw him again after that flight.

I was in three prison riots. Literally backed in a corner and fearing for my life. After each one, the facility was locked down for a long time. Not just the few guys who were involved in the riot, but everyone. When there are security issues that threaten the safety of staff, all the inmates are locked down. There is no right to freedom in prison.

I never was in a Supermax. I was in medium security the whole time. I got to eat cheeseburgers. I learned how to draft, both by hand on the board and in Autocad. I played a lot of D&D.

But you would probably have had to been there to understand fully.

Edit: Almost all inmates in Supermax are doing life sentences, so I don't know how their sentences can get extended.
> D and Rust both offer the same amenities and are not "garbage collected" languages.

Rust isn't but D is absolutely a garbage collected language. The GC is provided by default and expected to exist. https://dlang.org/overview.html#resource & https://dlang.org/spec/garbage.html

There's a non-GC'd subset of D, though. That would be the BetterC subset https://dlang.org/spec/betterc.html
The US federal government has an exact, real-time count and location of every single person with a phone in the country due to universal bulk surveillance.

Cross-referenced with the subscriber records from wireless, cable, and utility companies, databases from data brokers that are fed by loyalty programs and supermarkets, and every bank or credit card swipe in real-time, they already have 100% of this data in far higher resolution than will ever be collected by the census. They know about your address updates even before you tell the DMV.

I will be ignoring the effort.

I think Tesla, SpaceX is an indication of how much investor faith and strength of stomach is required in order to make things work.

But honestly, how many VCs would rather invest in something else than see 2 rocket launches fail in a row and getting laughed at?
...I just realized after finally clicking, that by locks, the headline means the wheels don't have a simple mechanism to prevent rolling.

I was thinking until now the implication was that the wheels should have locks in the sense of keyed hardware to prevent theft, since they're worth $550.
I think this is an amazing bug for "practical" attackers. Not quite an MS08-067 ... but also sort of better?

For lots of SMBs their OWA (plus maybe a VPN server and a web site hosted elsewhere) is their only online presence.

With this, you phish or stuff one set of user creds and now you have all their mail spools (plus all third party accounts linked to those emails) and are in a great place to pivot to domain admin.

Probably small accounting firms will be worst hit but also countless other small manufacturing and services firms.
Underneath it’s “what’s good for facebook” but on the surface they have to paint it as “what is good for you.”

Not trying to jump on your head; I apologize if you got that impression. But while C++ was originally C preprocessor/transpiler, modern C++ has diverged quite a bit from from this. I mean, take a look at this and tell me how it would be possible to convert it to C in a straightforwards way: https://github.com/regular-vm/libencoding/blob/master/encodi...

I don't have a "convenient" time machine, only an "inconvenient" one. It travels only in one direction, forward, and at much the same pace as everyone else seems to travel. There's always the example of Merlin though, whose time-machine-body traveled only in the opposite direction at roughly the same pace as everyone else's went forward. It has to be awkward for your first meeting with someone to be their last meeting with you. And you can't even warn them about their future when you meet them further in their past: Their future has already happened. A truly frustrating existence. No wonder King Arthur's court collapsed inward upon adulterous scandal and fanatical seeking of religious artifacts.
Any material you can recommend I can read more on that? As I understand it, the writings of Irenaeus get cited here to make that point except they're often taken out of context.
I don't think you can talk about this stuff without resorting to unsubstantiated beliefs about the way the world works.

The only problem with the 3rd point is that it sets a precedent that its ok to restrict civil liberties for x reasons. That future x reason could be valid, or it could be sinister and for political or national gain.

Now it becomes a discussion over whether preserving civil liberties are worth the potential of millions of lives (note its not actually millions of lives, only the potential, because that has yet to be seen). I'm not arguing either way just pointing out (logically), the true stakes.
The settlement was for the delays in delivering features, not because Tesla didn't deliver features. I'm sure Tesla would have had to much significantly more had they not delivered the features promised.

The dried food and MREs aren't bad. But they can be overkill, or too heavily relied upon. I guess it's a nice idea that there will always be a stockpile of food ready to go, but I figured out that I'd rather keep around some regular food that keeps well that I can slowly rotate through. Don't get me wrong, I think that ration food is great if you're going to be mobile. I keep dried ration meals inside a backpack for that purpose.

I don't want to discourage anyone from buying prepared meals if that's what would make them feel better. A hefty fee for some tubs of ready-to-go meals that last 20+ years can provide peace of mind. That said, here's a list of food that I stockpile that I think are the best value:

(Most of this will seem obvious, but I've also owned lots of survival meals, and a lot of what's described here is what's in those anyway)

- Peanut butter: One jar is more than enough fat/sugar/protein for a day's worth of calories, multi-purpose, can be eaten straight, no cooking required, portable, doesn’t require can opener. Powdered peanut butter exists but is more expensive and I don’t really care for it, but it might make sense to you. A jar at Wallmart is $1.58.)

- Canned meat: I normally don't eat canned meat, but in a crisis, having it can be a morale booster. Spam has all the advantages of peanut butter, but in meat form; A can of "Luncheon Meat" at either Wallmart is also around $1.50. Corned beef hash is very tasty and cheap. Canned tuna and pink salmon are good, too.

- Dried fruit: I prefer banana chips because they keep the best. Takes no preparation. Can be added to all sorts of things as well.

- Oatmeal: It's cheap and versatile. It requires water, but it doesn't necessarily need to be cooked. You can just use cold water and let it soak for a while. Tasty, filling, and can be made plain, sweet, or even savory. Add a boillon cube to a pot of oatmeal and you've got an easy evening meal. It's not great, but it'll fill you up.

- Pasta: Ramen noodles, mac n' cheese, etc. Stuff that's quick to make and requires the least preparation.

- Rice: A 20 lb sack of rice can be as cheap as $8, perhaps less depending on where you live.

- Honey: Very versatile, can be used in place of sugar in a lot of cases, needs no refrigeration, lasts ages.

- Ghee or shortening: Both are shelf stable at room temperature and can be used in place of butter.

- Hot sauce, salt, spices, etc. All are dirt cheap but can liven up dull food. As I mentioned before, bouillon cubes are handy.

- Coffee crystals, hot cocoa powder

- Vinegar: For cleaning and can also add flavor.

- Alcohol: We can all use a little liquid morale on occasion. Good for sanitation and can be used as fuel in desperation.

A lot of people recommend beans. I don't because they take longer to cook than rice and they're too fibrous; have fun eating too many beans and sharting your pants while the world is dying around you! It's not like it's bad to have beans, but I've gotten rid of most of mine for that reason at this point.

If you could only buy one item, I'd definitely go with peanut butter.
Working with viruses entails working with needles, so it's not ridiculous to foresee an event where a shaky hand or muscle memory could fail and cause you to inject yourself. In the case of the Ustinov incident, he was attempting to inject a guinea pig with an engineered version of what the Soviet Union had acquired from Kenya, and the guinea pig squirmed at just the wrong moment. Historically it may have been the highest viral load of Marburg Fever a human being has ever been exposed to. Ustinov took notes of his own deteriorating condition while his wife, who was also a researcher at the same lab, watched from outside the quarantine ward as his own organs liquefied into black goo. Eventually he was no longer able to use his own hands to write, fading in and out of consciousness, and he died two weeks later after the Soviet Union had exhausted its entire stock of Marburg antiserum. It was not a pleasant time.

Working on animals also entail working with needles, since in most cases you need to inject them with things that aren't airborne or aerosolized.
Which experiments have turned up nothing?

Do you mean SUSY not showing up at the LHC? Do you think physicists can materialize particles that do not exist in Nature? Finding that the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking happens to be the Higgs, discovering it does exist and measuring its properties is small potatoes? Getting the actual data to discard the alternatives is worthless?

All this is very confusing. You do have a theory about what's going on in HEP and pretty much how an experimental science such as physics works. Unfortunately it doesn't match what people do in HEP nor why they do it, so we've come full circle apparently.

BTW, any first year graduate student can answer those questions. It takes about 5 years if we're starting with Physics 101.

The best traders in the world are worth billions? So the above translates to "I am a billionaire". Seems unlikely!
I wish people talked more about how Robinhood really enabled this sort of reckless speculation.

Day trading on your smartphone was not really a "thing" pre-Robinhood, and then they came along with commission free trades on both stocks and options.

So not only did they make it easier to day trade given no explicit fees for doing so, they also mainstreamed options trading, which is actually what most people in WSB do almost exclusively, and really the only way you can 10x-100x your money in a few months (or in less time).
Most of the screenshots are from Robinhood mobile and real. Who's actually posting what is the difference and you only see the big gains and losses since they're exciting and not the thousands of people losing money daily on bad trades.
