This is not how language works. You don't get to just slice up a sentence and then talk to the parts that suit you

"C++ does not have a standard package manager."

C++. The language. Does not have a standard package manager.

From your own comment:

> It's the system package manager, instead of a language-specific one

You're literally admitting C++ does not have a package manager right there and then saying it's up to the system to fill in that gap!

-

This is a seriously mind-numbing conversation because all your replies make it clear you know EXACTLY what they mean, yet you're so focused on being the obligatory contrarian who has to proudly proclaim C++ has been done the way it's done and that's a fine way (and won't go so far as to say it's the correct way because deep down we all know it's not, but will always go right up against that line and pull out the "well it worked for all that C++ code out there" if you push back) and all you kids with your nimble languages can say it's bad but you just don't get it.

This is why for my mental sanity I try to refrain from talking about the meta situation of C++. The language, not the system. To be clear.

If it were a personal choice, the I would be with you. But realistically they will be sending everyone’s kids back to school if the decision to do so is made.

Of those, some people over 65 will simply die, and in that case the “high potential” their children have is going to be stifled by grief, high medical bills, and total loss of parental support.

If we are making a decision for the whole community, I always feel it best to lean towards a conservative approach, but allow risk takers to have an opt out.

Thanks for the shout-out! Given that the OP was mentioning only having a budget in the hundreds per month, this seems an appropriate time to cite our most recent blog: https://www.scylladb.com/2020/04/16/ifood-relies-on-scylla-t...
Rooftop solar is #6. Grid solar built on the ground is #1 and nuclear is arguably #2 based on specific models of the dangers associated with widespread fallout. Though windmill deaths during construction are front loaded, so it’s likely to drop as current windmills age.

PS: Hydro power is actually negative deaths per kWh if you include the lives saved from reduced flooding. But that gets into tricky definitions.

Run these through Google Translate, see what you find.

Geopolitical mistrust is healthy when things are being done in bad faith.

There's a lot of circumstantial evidence, this lab housed bats, did research on these diseases and was in the proximity of the initial out break zone, everyone seems fine with accepting someone ate a bat as a likely cause. Whenever the lab is mentioned by anyone, a lot of effort is being put into calling it a conspiracy theory using strawman arguments against bioengineering, etc. That's just going to make people more suspicious something is being hidden and create a Streisand effect. It's already been well established that the existence of the disease was hidden at first, its ability to spread was hidden, then the idea of it becoming worse than the flu and a pandemic, why not the origins?

It's not so hard to suspect this isn't due to malice, or bio-engineering, but research into a naturally occurring virus, and a lack of good safety procedures or enforcement of safety protocols.
I think we are talking about different things here. I love OpenAPI and wouldn't do a project without it. verify-json is a lightweight way to validate JSON schema and does not intend to change/improve anything about OpenAPI.

This is more for client-server JSON schema validations, comes handy when different teams are writing client and server side code. Especially in startups where iterations are rapid.
I agree. There has to be a balance. Companies need to be able to let people go who are hurting the company overall. The balance comes in in making it expensive enough that they won’t go firing people without cause as it now being expensive means it has to be worth it to do so.

Ask HN: Cloud/destination agnostic apps that only use client-side encryption?
One of the requests I've gotten over and over again from a non-tech but still heavy computer user is wanting to store data securely: 1) at rest and 2) in the cloud.

There are services that offer "secure data storage" but what secure means to them doesn't really mean secure. Anyway, in this particular case, I'm curious if there are any apps that essentially do this already:

1) Use standard FTP/SFTP/S3 remote storage.

2) Allow you to generate/store keys in your OS keychain (e.g. macOS Keychain, in this case)—without storing them anywhere else

3) Upload files and have the encryption managed for you by the app.

Here the keys never leave your system and the data is stored at-rest, securely.

Is there anything like this that a non-techie could set up and run?
I don't understand this argument.

I understand that PGP might not be the way to go. I understand that metadata might leak. I understand that every cypher will be broken, eventually.

But what's wrong with trying to send a an e-mail with contents you want no other party than the recipient to read, again, provided the recipient doesn't share it with other people.

For the record, I don't send encrypted mail. UX for these is generally terrible, hard to verify sigs, etc. I am genuinely asking what part am I missing. Is there a fundamental reason that encrypted e-mail cannot work with current e-mail protocols? (but replacing PGP if needed)

Stripe's forward looking goals seem to be mostly about expanding and changing the nature of online commerce, rather than capturing the existing payment processing market. I agree it'd be dumb for them to expect to grow based solely on stealing customers from existing processors.
I think it's potentially dangerous. When I was first learning to program, there were a lot of things I couldn't figure out how to do. Then I came across an algorithms textbook (Algorithms in C, by Knuth's student Sedgewick) and it explained how to do a lot of things I had never been able to figure out how to do before, and with beautiful code. This was a wonderful revelation! I then spent a lot of time studying algorithms.

Unfortunately, I didn't learn how to program! I thought that what I was missing was knowledge about algorithms, and that was occasionally right but mostly wrong. Worse, algorithmic textbooks bias you to look for the one weird trick that makes your apparently complex problem simple. But usually that trick doesn't exist, and when it does you usually have to solve the problem the hard way first before you understand the problem well enough to find it. The process of debugging, refactoring, optimizing, and testing that gives rise to the final polished form of a program cannot easily be inferred from what remains. Books like The Practice of Programming and Code Complete were much more helpful, but you can't learn to program by reading books, any more than you can learn to play baseball or win lawsuits by reading books.

I did eventually learn to program pretty well, though I'm not yet a master of the craft like Knuth, Jeff Dean, Rob Pike, Walter Bright, or Norvig. I did it largely by a practice described in this interview: writing new programs every day. I also learned a lot from pair-programming, which taught me both to read other people's code (we had collective code ownership) and to write code others could understand. My main obstacle was not ignorance but perfectionism and lack of practice.
When I opened the pricing page I was 'afraid' the hourly prices would come with the caveat of a monthly subscription (or separate fee). Seeing Free + Charges immediately answered that for me. But yeah, I also see your point.

Hmm, I've experienced the same thing. My hunch is that this is related to spending long periods of time in front of a computer, with internet addiction gradually making my ability to focus worse and worse. I honestly think I was better at reading difficult material when I was a teenager.

I think you just have to retrain your brain to focus in other ways - exercise is shown to improve learning and brain function. There's definitely a relationship between physical health and mental health, and I'm guessing that physical health is an area that a lot of us software devs are neglecting.
Firmware. You can make the cloned circuit, but ROMs you'd need to have license for, I expect (this is not legal advice, it is personal opinion and shouldn't be relied on). So _working_ clones might be off the cards.

In USA you can likely dump a ROM from an original board, and that might even not be copyright in some jurisdictions under right-to-repair or similar legislation. In UK it's more than likely tortuous without a license to copy to the new board; we don't have Fair Use [and] don't have rights to format shift or backup.

Fair Use can work for commercial goods, but rarely does AFAIK (from reading caselaw).

I would be curious to know if this could be used (with a heavy dose of software and a rotating mount) to replace a Matterport scanner for real estate agents. That would be a $2495-$3995 cost for device, a fixed cost of $19-$29 per house walkthrough and a $49-$149/mo hosting fee. Seems like a boatload of cash could be made for a first-to-market product here.

So you will still need to source the chips, CPU won't be major issue, though denise, paula, gary and agnus from what I can tell will still be a sourcing issue. More so as they are not made and only made for the Amiga, so be harder to source.

THough as there battery on the Amiga and many old kit are known to expire in epic ways and leak all over the place, which will quickly kill the board, and depending how stored - will take out some of the chips as well. So for many this will be good for those with access to those chips, those chips will be the hard part sourcing wise if you need those.
MMIX programs can actually be run, and MMIX has multiple simulators. Actual MMIX chips can be made. MMIX also allows students to reason about the properties of modern chips without experiencing quite the complexity they'd have to deal with normally. This is valuable for many reasons.

The threat to YouTube has also never been higher.

The spike in usage means that YT needs content creators to make more, but also earn less money. A forward-thinking startup could capitalize on this by paying content creators more to migrate to their own service, and work to get the attention of those eyeballs which are bored of YT content.

I agree, that the browser vendors should do this for this purpose. Perhaps also add a file "downloads.txt" which explains them so that you will know which file to download (even if the file you want to download isn't a web browser).
depending how far ahead you want to look, you might be able to get away with a spark for this use case. you can find good deals on the first generation at this point, and the new one isn't too expensive anyway.

Containers do not stop you to use Chef, Ansible, Puppet or Terraform. Matter of fact, they make it easier for you.

We use Terraform to setup new reproducible environments for all of our projects. We have full modules for ECS, EC2 and various others combination of services that we repeatedly use on AWS. It makes it really easy to set something up and not worry about it. Helps us setup bastions, rds, clusters, task definitions, scaling, vpc, alb and all the other things you'd have to waste couple of hours/days to get right.

Seconded! We do micropayments in the $2-3 range and $0.30/transaction is a huge cut of our already slim margins. We're also in the process of migrating the bulk of our transactions to Paypal, but would love to switch back to primarily Stripe at some point as we have had terrible experiences with Paypal in the past.
In what sense are they flimsy? They can support a few more (loaded) containers on top of them, so... fifty tons roof load?

All valid concerns, but where is the tool that fixes all of them, while keeping the decentral organization that email allows?

Obviously things will differ greatly from industry to industry and company to company, but you're lying to yourself if you think this is going to end at startups. It takes a bit of time for dominoes to fall, but as the various factors such as consumer spending, B2B spending, supply-chain issues, etc. begin to ripple out the waves will effect more and more companies.
Okay thanks for the clarification, but still if anything I find the tech sector to be one of the industry with the least amount of racial prejudice even in promotions. I totally understand that personal experiences can be different and are still valid, but I think the data tells us that there isn't any widespread systemic racism in tech. The proportion of people of color in C level exec/higher management levels is huge and the efforts made to increase diversity have been intense. I just don't see how that could happen if lower performance reviews were generally biased against us.
A quick recent anecdote on how hard this is going to be. In early February an NY Times reporter criticized, with some good evidence, Senator Tom Cotton for claiming that the Coronavirus leaked from a lab in Wuhan [1].

By the second week of this month, most of the intelligence agencies in the US had lined up behind this claim of a virus leakage from the Wuhan lab. Additionally Wikileaks cables from 2018 showed State Department officials warning about the conditions of the lab [2].

The belief is that there is a price floor on the market. If the market drops, the Fed and Treasury will buy any assets. A price floor has an inflationary effect on prices by skewing the expected value.

If you consider the price of an asset as the expected value of its probability distribution over possible values, then you cut off the negative tail of the PDF by creating a price floor, the expected value shifts significantly to positive.

> While this is true, I would be curious of the overall economic impact.

Where have you been for the past decade? The economic impact is increasingly concentrated levels of wealth, where a handful of people are vacuuming up pretty much all of the wealth in America. The middle class (local business owners) is shrinking, the labour/wage worker class is growing, and the ultra-wealthy are getting richer.

> The other aspect is also that real estate taxes need to be increased

No, this also affects local businesses, who do not have the profit margins needed to survive. You need to find a way to limit the power big corporations have, while not hurting small/local business owners. A VAT tax is likely a much better solution to this problem.

Increasing real estate taxes is one way to ensure only big corporations with extensive logistics networks and high profit margins, that pay their laborers minimum wage would be able to survive. The point is to prioritize people over corporations, and your solution misses that completely.
