I do some work in embedded myself but vehemently disagree with that. Only very small parts of embedded systems need zero-alloc policies. Hell, I know people succesfully using new / delete on arduinos and the like.

I taught a bit at uni and you can't imagine the amount of students who read stuff like parent comment's "it's common to not use malloc" on internet and then try to apply this as a mantra to their codebase when the assignment is to make a freakin snake game with SDL and write actually legible code - the immense majority of them will never ever encounter any realtime problem and don't need to think that this is an actually common thing - it is not !

This is doing a disservice to the whole profession. If you actually need to program real-time systems, you will have processes in place to ensure that things don't end up in a syscall - or just don't have malloc at all available in which case the problem does not exist.

I'm not familiar enough with the darker corners of C++ implementations to say, but I'd guess not. From what the paper describes it seems table-based exception handling is deeply ingrained into the Itanium ABI so any significant change would be an ABI break, which would make said change more difficult to spread.

There’s always been a feedback loop and new innovations to tighten it.

~100 years ago Macy’s started a radio show that enabled them to quickly put out new messaging to their (mostly female) audience and see how it affected shopping behaviour pretty much “instantly” when compared to their previous paradigm of running newspaper ads. They also saved $100,000/yr doing so — the equivalent of ~$1M/year in today’s currency — demonstrating how radio had significantly tightened their feedback loop when compared to newspaper.

An artist can accomplish the same at a live show. With the artist seeing the response of a live audience (their focus group, in a way) while trying different things in real-time. This is how quite a few musical trends started.

TV, books, music, arts have all had cash flows that are responsive to decisions.
Tracing gc works this way. But reference counting gc exists, even if it isn’t widely used in gced languages. Ref counting finds garbage directly.

Nuclear energy in an violent political climate or war is indeed something to consider.

Centralized doesn't mean monolithic. Centralized under one entity, but distributed in nature.

France has 58 nuclear reactors (one of the greatest and fastest decarbonisation in history [1]). They are "centralized" in the sense that they are operated by a single entity, but effectively distributed. And indeed they are not all running at the same time (reloading fuel, maintenance) etc...

> Personally, I think this means the opposite of recitation.

Possibly true, but my point was that Epic Poems would not have been transmitted merely by recitation of exact learned words, but by a rhapsodist learning the story and internalizing it.

Then it would be conveyed as a mixture of repeated learned verses and freestyle improvisation of parts of the story; that would explain how completely new sections appear in the different versions of epic poems.

It is the new Experts Exchange.
The two things aren't opposed.

Having written a bunch of stuff there, I can't argue that it doesn't have some good content. And I could imagine it being quite profitable eventually, because it is very much built as bait for long-tail search. But the reason I'd call it a scam is that the people who wrote that content are not going to get paid in proportion to the work. Of course, giving the way quality has dropped over the years, it may also end up being a viewer-side scam the way many other search-focused content companies end up being.

For "standard" applications, sure, but the paper mentions that for embedded uses code size and determinism can be more important than pure execution speed, and perhaps a few percent slowdown would be considered acceptable for embedded development if it allows the use of exceptions.

Have you used that site in the past? I see a lot of listings saying something like “24 ea” to describe a lot of 24, but can’t find what the ea means. I’d think it might mean “bid is per item,” but that makes no sense (I’m seeing bids at multiples of what the individual items are worth).

Please stop. At this point you're just spamming with multiple accounts.
Maybe you and m0zg reading it a little heavy.

m0zg appears to be implying that in the collaboration between Derek Lowe and the professionals he has talked to to write this article, nobody is aware of remdesivir, or, alternatively, that they are aware, that they explicitly chose not to write it / to accord their contribution to the article without requiring that it is mentioned, and that makes them unqualified hacks.

Because if that is not what was implied, I don't get why the words 'epic fail' are used.

And that is an extraordinary claim, at least in the mind of user hprotagonist, given that he is aware of Derek Lowe's expertise levels. Disregarding it without further proof is _NOT_ an appeal to authority.

The point that hprotaganist is making is NOT: "remdesivir is useless; Derek Lowe did not mention it here which is proof enough for me". Their point is simply: "I am not convinced that remdesivir is an obvious answer, because I find it highly implausible that if it is such a slam dunk answer, that Derek Lowe would fail to mention it."

In other words, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence; your claim that remdesivir could be a plausible route to a quick fix for the problem and that Derek Lowe isn't aware of this is extraordinary. Your evidence of basically nothing other than the word of random joe hackernews commenter + the word 'remdesivir' (so, I guess, the wikipedia entry which anybody can search the web for armed solely with the word?) isn't sufficient proof for it.

That's all. This is not an appeal to authority fallacy in my book, simply a request that you provide a little more direct indication that remdesivir is likely to be a panacea here, especially if you start insinuating that the article author has 'epic failed' here.

I haven't heard this before, and it's great. I always get a chuckle when customers are dumbfounded that they don't have to have a call with us before using Geocodio. They're so used to the self-perpetuating sales pattern you mentioned that they're confused it could be so straight forward.
Yeah I’m taking swimming lessons as an adult after totally failing to retain what I was taught as a child. You have to practice and play in the water constantly to develop any proficiency. To get a child to do that means they have to not be afraid of the water.
Totally agree that's the wrong metric - learned that the hard way. It was just the only number I could use at the time that would make me feel like all those hours meant something.

Thanks so much for reading it and I've definitely been getting things sorted out. Best of luck to you as well!!!
I agree fear of losing power is the only thing that restrains government. But disagree with:

> I don't know how it is in Canada, but in the USA, the people are not inclined to outrage, no matter what the government does.

That's not entirely true though -- currently in the USA republicans are so scared of standing up to some of Trumps wilder ideas because they will get voted out.

Similarly, when Virginia's government discussed imposing new gun legislation, 22,000 people marched (with guns) through Richmond:

I'm not saying because of effort it's worthy of use. Just that it's not required and is a free resource. I also didn't compare to other specs, just common developer interfaces: https://blog.codinghorror.com/this-is-what-happens-when-you-...

Outside github and dribbble there is a large population of developers creating internal tools that abide by no UI/UX standards or even common sense.

There are many frameworks available. Which ones might be a better choice?
I think the reasoning behind RDF using URIs/IRIs for nodes and predicates is that this gives a globally unique naming hierarchy (backed by DNS in turn), such that when combining heterogenous data there's no name clash, and at the same time allows for liberal use in closed DBs via "urn:" URLs. But yeah, if the linked article insinuates that dereferencing RDF URLs is useful or even common, that would be false IMO.

I looked hard for an app that would help me record a piece of information that I want to revisit again and again with decreasing frequency until I've internalised it.

I tried Anki, but it was too cumbersome.

The way I do it at present is to write a note/attach a screenshot to a reminder on Google Keep which repeats daily, or maybe every 2 or 3 days.

I usually keep something on for 4-8 weeks until the thought or idea has been completely internalised.

I think we are saying the same thing, from slightly different perspectives. That Option can be nullable means that it can be used where it is not actually that type, without a type error, is what I’m saying.
This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Most invoices are generated on a computer (often in Word) but a huge fraction of the people who generate them don't know how to export to a PDF. So they print the invoice on paper, scan it back in to a PDF, and email that to you. Thus the proliferation of bitmap PDFs.
Technically people still fly the old Boeing planes that don't crash. The 737MAX is still not in service, and there is a likelihood that it may never go back into service. All future orders are cancelled, and there isn't a clear pathway to the plane re-certified and more importantly for people to trust them again.

High trust systems require just that, high trust. And once broken it's hard to re-establish.

Crypto exchanges certainly have their fair issues of downtime, but don't forget that crypto exchanges for a long time operated purely for early adopters as crypto wasn't something that everyone traded. There was also less availability of competition, because again the industry was newer and there were fewer choices.

And certainly Coinbase helped to popularize crypto trading and they had their fair issues, but I don't believe they had an outage of this exact magnitude, and again they were in an early adopter area where mistakes are seen as part of the process. If not expressly, then at least subconsciously.
The original housekeeper is lying, yes, but is a diligent servant who, on net, is explicitly said to be worth her cost of extra food. Her husband was once accidentally spotted by the rich son, he's not intentionally terrifying the children. They only become as cutthroat as the family, not because they lost money, but because the family kills the wife and the main son tries to kill the husband.

I would say the moral arc of the hidden family is a rejection of the "morality follows wealth" idea. When they are in debt and danger their solution is to hide and work hard. The wife sacrifices a lot to keep her husband fed and they seem to love each other. What they're doing isn't perfect, but seems like one of their best options. The hidden family only becomes violent after they are held captive and the wife is killed and the husband nearly killed.

I'm not sure how poor the original tutor is. I don't think that's clear at all. He wants to marry rich daughter, but that doesn't mean he's rich. The main son wants to marry rich daughter too.

The he mother does have a lot when she's cruel to the dog. She has more food than she can eat and won't spare it. When she and her family have fully infiltrated the rich household, they don't help the hidden husband.
Well a person would not have a U.S. passport if they dropped citizenship right?
Agreed. For all their tech initiative claims and hiring of in-house "legal ops" people and even developers, your typical attorney uses hardly any legal tech outside of e-discovery or billing.
> It's never disadvantageous to make more money (except if you're on government benefits as mentioned, where there are some weird effects)

It's never disadvantageous except when it is? That sound like the classic anchorman citation: 60% of the time, it works every time

Sure your tax bracket won't directly means less returns, but switching from a tax bracket to another may means having access to less benefits, which may means a higher effective tax rates.

If you follow the PV panel manufacturing industry this is actually not super uncommon, there's a number of companies that have gone belly up in the past ten years.

In some cases due to business models that relied on weird economic incentives for the panel manufacturing location, where 156mm cells purchased on the commodity market from a third party would be encapsulated and built up into 60 or 72-cell panels.

Google "solar panel manufacturer bankrupt" for some noteworthy examples.

Margins on PV panel manufacturing are REALLY thin.

I’d say this is false, even as I myself am a US Army veteran who spent a year in Iraq 2003-2004. Tanks are still useful, but aren’t as useful against non-conventional forces.

The pentagon has spent the past 4-5 years retooling for what they call “near peer” threats which is to say China in the Pacific and Russia in Europe. Tanks, and really good ones in specific, would be required to push back a Russian incursion into our allies.

I may be missing something, but to any of them let you return information that is not a node in the underlying graph? I had a project once where a user request would result in a graph that was derived: result nodes and edges were derived based on the database’s nodes and edges. Rolled my own system because nothing supported that.

Related, do any of the let you do something simple like return a count of vertices obtained from a traversal, or do you need to walk a result and count them yourself?
Ask HN: Share inspiring examples of content that presents complex topics well!
Dear HN community,

I am currently working on a redesign for a website that aims to communicate complex topics that build on a lot of science and research (sic., a website about effective altruism [1]). In this context, I was trying to think of inspiring examples that really communicate complex content well. Some examples that come to my mind are:

* Papers on Distill

* https://distill.pub/2020/attribution-baselines/

* The key ideas section on 80,000hours.org

* https://80000hours.org/key-ideas/

* Science videos on youtube from channels like kurzgesagt or beautiful science

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSKi8HfcxEk

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ-6rFEM2o4

Do you have other inspiring examples of website or multimedia content that made you interested in and helped you understand a complex topic well?

1: see for example: effectivealtruism.org
you can still run into problems with chains like 2×3÷4×5

(2×3)÷(4×5) = 6÷20 = 0.3
2×(3÷4)×5 = 10×0.75 = 7.5
((2×3)÷4)×5 = 7.5
If there is no safe levels of radiations, then I hope OP doesn't get near other people because a human body radiates 5000-7000 Bq.

Hopefully he lives in a lead bunker because the earth telluric a background radiation ranges from 1mSv/year to 35 mSv/year.

I hope he doesn't take the plane, too.

And so on...
Also they help if you're working in more than one language any given year, as there are differences in precedence rules between programming languages.
its too late to prevent an epidemic in most places

there is no star trek solution that will suddenly prevent epidemic anywhere that is apparently free of virus for the time being.

the virus is not so lethal as to justify suspension of safety and efficacy trials. the potential to kill far more people with a mistake than the virus would kill, is very real.
I have a hard time believing that both a doctor would administer antibiotics for coronaVIRUS and that antibiotics would be of any use there.
