* In macro hell to get something complex done

IMO, macro hell is something you bring upon yourself. I rarely felt the need to abuse the preprocessor in awful ways in order to build something.

* With overly long functions and function name prefixes.

I'm puzzled how you can get in such a situation. Running out of function namespace? How?

* Needing to write something serious and big - requiring libraries of all sorts, and noticing they mostly don't exist.

There are plenty serious and big projects in C and there are _plenty_ of libraries. Also, C++ can be linked with C, so... I fail to see how you don't get the same kind of issues with C++ if there are any.

* Wanting to tell the compiler optimizer things that C can't tell it.

This might be indeed a problem, but... what can you tell it using C++ to the compiler optimizer? I'm not really a C++ guy so, really, do you have more options? I know there are compiler specific pragmas an modifiers in C as well, but does C++ have specific C++ language stuff and not C++ compiler stuff it can set?

* Needing to compute some things at compile-time.

Again... what yould those things be? CRC's? You can do that in C if the compiler allows you as well (gcc and clang do). What else? And what more exactly does C++ bring to the table concerning this?

Honestly, I have to think reaaaal long an hard about things that the C lang doesn't let you do or constrains you. It's one of the most liberating languages, honestly. I work with it day in and day out, so I might be biased, say what you want about C, but not that it's not powerful!
So you would effectively destroy all free user generated content sites, and a good portion of the cheap ones as well.

Just good to make that clear upfront when evaluating your proposal, so people could decide if this is really less draconian than the current system.
Honestly my experience with collaboration with Office 365 last year was pretty beer bad. At least for sight technical cases people they are many better solutions.
With all due respect, please don't encourage more websites to use WebGL for trivial things! This stuff is only really useful for games or some other kind of interactive demo, and wastes power when used for decorative graphics on ordinary informational web sites.

I think compiling native OpenGL ES programs to WASM is probably a bit more of a practical use case, but that comes with its own set of problems... WebGL still suffers from various security issues and bugs on certain platforms: https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/master/gpu/config/...
> Just a reminder that most of these companies never really delete your account

Not if you request account deletion under CCPA. Or at least not if they're smart.
Lol. You get different support yes, but it’s equally as shitty if not more so.

I’ve been an enterprise customer of Googles services. When you have a problem simply finding the link, to the obscure dashboard login, to post an issue may take hours. I’m not even joking. Like Google is built to prevent you from using it discover useful support pages with contact information. “Account Executives” otherwise known as sales people, provide zero support after the contract is signed and I mean zero.

Once you write in, you wait, and hope. It’s kind of like filing a radar with Apple but a bit shittier because you have still idiotic, naive, hope you’ll get a reply or help.

If you ever do get a reply it’s likely a bot. If you ever have to disagree chances are it won’t be seen or acknowledged. Google is by far the worst service provider on the planet if you ever have an issue.
Agh, I think it was cert pinning. Looks like the connection is terminated if you're snooping. I see the same results as you now. Thanks!
I'll concede my answer perhaps isn't completely applicable to SAT's which are, from what I understand, more of an IQ test. The equivalent exams in my country are on subjects that the student has studied for two years, but mainly involve getting the exam papers for the past three to five years and learning the patterns of questions, then rehearse the answers before the test. The marking system is designed to discourage anything other than this approach as the answers need to correspond to the schema the examiner has been given. I could pass a test in a subject I don't even have a basic understanding of so long as I follow the correct marking schema.
There's plenty of evidence that draconian laws aren't effective. So I'm not sure that a 5-10 year sentence would stop people from drunk driving. Plus, I'm pretty sure the corrections lobby has more power than the restaurant lobbies.
If you don't own what's under your house, you or somebody who owned the land before you sold or relinquished the mineral rights to somebody else.

No particular reason this exists besides capitalism and maximizing efficiency.
> 3. This needs to be a ratio. If thousands of complaints are valid, it should require more than 3 mistaken ones.

Perverse incentive: Pad your notice ratio by hiring infringers-as-a-service combined with immediate takedown.

The requirement to reimburse costs and time for false takedown is a much better approach because it also punishes drawing out the process. The longer it takes the more costly it gets.
If they only cared about performance then they would've left the write concern defaults to not acknowledge writes either locally or within a replica set. Or just read from the nearest replica and don't worry about potential consistency issues.

Also this isn't 2011. MongoDB is not a competitor to Oracle and never really has been by people that knew that a DocumentDB was not usable as a SQL one. It's other SQL databases that are the real competitors e.g. Snowflake, Redshift are.
Super depends on your setup and how mature of a dev organization you are. One can get pretty sophisticated but the more you log the more it costs so there is a trade-off (I'm sure you are aware)

Generally people, get their logs in one place, realize they are missing something, add it it, realize it's noisy or expensive, turn some things off. It's generally iterative and what you need for your dev/biz ops / customer support. You'll find more challenging questions about who / when can access logs than deciding what to log. Do make sure to get audit logs sooner than later, though your cloud provider (we use GCP primarily) may be doing this for part of your infra

Checkout Google's SRE book, there are a few relevant essays, especially as you look to alert on log events.
I was already a bit worried about the game-plan that the Dutch government presented. From what I understand, from June 1st on (or 2nd or so?) many venues, including bars, can open again with x amount of people per m2, and a maximum of 30 people. A rather tepid 'keep 1.5m distance' is added, as well as an even more tepid "if you're from the same household you can sit at the same tables", or however that will be implemented in practice.

I'm more worried now that I read that I'm not the only one who suspects that people spending prolonged periods of time together are the main cause of the spread of Covid-19. To me it seems ridiculous to think that 1.5m distance will magically make thing work. Even in supermarket every single visit I all but bump into others. But there's very little spittle from talking or coughing, so I imagine the risk is much lower.

At this point what I hope for is that summertime will make a big difference, and that perhaps my government knows this and is crafting a 'public' message that just doesn't paint the full picture.

But honestly, much as I think we in NL have done pretty okay (middling, really), at this point I expect we'll have at the very least a 'second wave' and probably end up in the middle of death statistics for that too.

I kind of wish we'd try to do a bit better and follow the example of, I think, some countries in Asia, and just assume that things will be different now, and adjust how our society interacts in some basic ways. Core to that would be:
- wear face masks. anything where a cough doesn't douse a lighter is 'good enough'.
- make testing a regular, common thing. take temperatures every time you show up at work.
- rigorously limit the distance between people in bars, cafe's, public transport, shops, etc. I think we're doing okay on this front in most shops I've gone too: a fixed number of trolleys or carts, and people wait if they run out. Just last week I waited for ~20 mins at a second hand store.
- be as lenient as possible for those outside. it does a lot to take the pressure off, and the risk seems relatively low.
- for the love of God, don't let up to 30 people in an enclosed, badly ventilated space, and don't make an exception for people who claim that "they're flatmates/partners".

One can dream.
Bahahaha, really? This DMCA nonsense sounds ridiculous!
I used it effectively to denormalize and combine some data from other services... sort of like a 2nd level, queryable cache.
Worked very well for my needs.
This was 7-8 yrs ago.
The nice thing about land is that modern technology allows you to stick more than one person on a piece of it.

The land supply is finite. Housing supply is not.
I suppose that many operations in DSP are just linear transforms. So you could pre-compute transforms using SciPy (and its wealth of available functions). And then you could have a pipelined version of the BLAS matrix-vector multiplication to make it low-latency. Possibly that could run on the GPU.
Oh I knew Apple applied the prude-policy to their store. I did not realize Google did too. Interesting.
Laser professionals in both academia and industry frequently use this site as an important reference. It's an immensely valuable trove of information, and not only for hobbyists.
One of two things must be true. Either this legal affirmation is simple enough to get that it doesn't actually reduce infringement much (and thus making infringement much more of a problem by removing any way of handling it other than lawsuits), or it's more complicated and creates a significant barrier to legitimate works being published.
Vaccination certificates can be easily obtained through a quick, safe, procedure, and are waived in the rare cases where the procedure wouldn't be safe.
There are viruses where immunity to one strain makes subsequent infections with other strains much worse[0]. So far there only seems to be one strain of SARS-CoV-2, but it's definitely a risk worth considering.

What happens when workplaces start demanding immunity in order to come back to work? Does that not punish those who keep themselves safe?
“ Following the valuable discoveries, Jerry and Robert Severson, two brothers who sold the land to the Murrays, argued they were the partial owners. That’s because they had kept a share of the rights to the minerals under the land. In some states, ownership of oil, gas, and minerals can be separated from the surface land.”

They bought the land with an agreement that the former owners had mineral rights. Gas companies are know for purchasing the rights to pump oil from landowners. It’s pretty common in areas where people own larger tracts of land, as it gives those landowners a bit of income (though of course the downside is that the the mining can damage the property).
Afaik it still is.
I run in two circles: the one you mention, but also the other: I have gotten pushback from people (usually devs at clients of mine) for saying it’s lunacy to run a real, actual business on Mongo. (This has always happened from orgs with <10TB of data in the database.)

You’d be astounded how common it is at so-called “enterprise” startups. It blew my mind.

A lot of people simply never went through the LAMP stack days and have little/no experience with real databases like Postgres (or even MySQL). It’s disheartening.
Yes, we're agreeing 100%, I didn't mean to say that your "practiced widely" meant that everyone wore them all the time. I had just seen many people claim that, and your comment reminded me of it, so I replied to-you-but-not-specifically-about-you.

We're in complete agreement.
GCP does have support engineers who work with you on things.
It’s also used in low-level bladder cancers as a wash of the bladder. I think it’s a similar idea in that it helps provoke an immunology response that’s been found to be helpful.
because some time in the past one previous owner decided to sell that right. and later owners (you included) decided that you like the house / land so much that you agree to purchase in spite of the easement.
It's hard to find the first reference of each idea.

Awesome! Are there any other open source microservices fulfilling similar purposes? I've been looking all over the place. I decided to go with keycloak and keycloak-gatekeeper after failing to find anything less heavy weight.
There are some examples in in the SuiteSparse implementation, https://github.com/DrTimothyAldenDavis/SuiteSparse/tree/mast...
>My only gripe is that the page's margins aren't a bit more narrow.

Agreed, I use a chrome extension 'Just Read' to fix websites that do this.
Just use DRDB and Linux-HA to replicate the disks hosting the master SQLite database and the standby database.
As someone who chose MySQL and provides direction to developers who really like Postgres, and who also uses Postgres for fun, I do find myself having to both defend MySQL as a prudent option and convince them that I know anything at all about Postgres or computer science. :)
Agreed, the CSS is basically just importing the Latin Modern font and doing some spacing and font-size specifications. Not wanting to be mean, but there's nothing special about it. The credit should go to MathJax [1] which is rendering the math.

Science Says Silence Is Much More Important to Our Brains Than We Think
Between the fact that a nontrivial number of 20-30 year olds have died, and the serious but poorly understood post-Corona symptoms which may be chronic or lifelong (blood clots, paralysis, lung tissue scarring/reduced lung capacity, Corona Toe, etc) I don’t think any 20-something who’s been reading the news is going to be too keen on the idea of “just getting it over with”.

There may be less well-informed people who would be down for something like this, but it’s not a decision that would be driven by a realistic appraisal of what we know and what we know we don’t know.
Most people don't even know what's available to them in the standard library of C++ and under-use things in it. Especially STL algorithms but not just that.
The point of that statement was not to say that they don't provide those services at all, the point was that providing those services aren't their "thing". There is not a paid tier of any google product that will stop them from spying on you. Any payment you make is just to subsidize their spying so they get your data at little or no cost to themselves. If you are paying for google services you are not only giving them your data, you are paying for the privilege.
> an even more tepid "if you're from the same household you can sit at the same tables"

This makes perfect sense. Imagine asking parents to sit at separate tables from their children. If kids in a home are infected - trust me - everyone in that house is infected. Have you ever tried to social distance from a 3 year old?
You already need to pay costs for false notices under 512(f). It's just hard to enforce.
Dennis, to King Arthur: "Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?"
The Chinese, the South Koreans and the New Zealanders managed to eradicate coronaplague through good old epidemiological detective work. It's looking good in the European countries, too, number of new infections declining. Why isn't this discussed in the context of the US?

(Answer: you'd need proper testing, paid sick leave and especially paid quarantine, but that kind of public health measures is politically unthinkable. My institution "recommends" quarantine for potentially exposed workers, and that isn't enough.)
Bundled links via ECMP or even round robin are a valid strategy.
Chickenpox is another one, it can re-erupt as shingles when older.

My googling also turns up herpes, Epstein-Barr, measles(!), HPV, Hep-B [1]...

It looks like there are many diseases which can find a host reservoir in our body to hide out for a while.

Heh. I love no margin design like this. It's a counter to the gratuitous"more whitespace" design foisted on the internet by zealous web designers.
This wouldn't be a problem if browsers weren't walled gardens that are controlled by corporations instead of the users running them. Yes there are security issues with ignorant users doing things. But sometimes the fix causes a problem worse than the original.

Firefox and Chrome both don't let users install any add-on without their permission. Switching to Firefox ecosystem just means the leash is longer (and the protection is fake because of their automated signing portal).
If only moving to Linux were an option for everyone.

The other day I tried for the 100th time to move to Linux. I installed a recent build of a maintained, popular distribution (no it doesn't matter which one - I have tried them all), on hardware that is famous for it's Linux support.

Everything worked for a day and a half, then the sound just fucking died. No input or output.

I get millions of people use Linux daily, and are happy with it -- I'm genuinely grateful that's a thing. I would love to also use Linux, but I really don't have the time to diagnose why it broke yet again.

Any suggestions for people stuck on macOS? I guess I could block all Apple domains in my DNS resolver? Other than app updates, I can't think of anything that would stop working. That still sounds less painful than trying to deal with Linux's atrocious UX.

It doesn't matter what brilliant ground level people want if they don't get to do anything about it because of pressure from management.

I have seen this first-hand. I bet you have too. A brilliant user friendly idea stays at the bottom of the product log, as middle and upper management product asks get piled on top of it, pushing it deeper and deeper.

Sure, I guess you could donate the small amount of free time you get to your employer and do it after work, but I can't think of anything more demotivating than working for free for a company with revenue in the hundreds of millions.
> Are companies not supposed to invest money into their product, sales, people etc ?

> And why does being listed on the NASDAQ imply being flush with money ?

It was intended to be a playful reference to MDB's stock price being on a tear right now, not simply being listed on NASDAQ.

Expand the timeline on the graph to "Max", it's at an all time high.
I mean we can get into the philosophical/legal nuances of what it means to "own" something. In NYC, there are air rights which partitions ownership of the literal air above you.

Should "owning" a piece of land entitle you to everything from the earths core all the way into deep space?
In the sense of a logical implication which follows with full logical necessity: it doesn't.

In the sense of a likely reason for someone to draw an inference: Most people do not specifically seek out excuses to take tests, and do so only because they want something that the test provides them with, such as access to a job-hunting platform. Most people who want access to a job-hunting platform want it because they are job-hunting or plan to be soon.
Does the pressure sensitivity work well for you in Krita?
For what it's worth, Document DB doesn't support a lot of the Mongo API, such as $$ROOT in aggregations, and it can't use indices on (paraphrased) "SELECT * FROM x WHERE id IN [list]" if the list length is > 10.

If you ask me, if there's something worse than Mongo it's Document DB.
Ah, I haven't had the pleasure of dealing with enterprise AD that convoluted yet.
The article takes a long time to essentially get around to saying this:

> But covid-19 and the extreme social-distancing measures used to combat it pose a new and more profound danger to the capital

I feel that during lockdown a fair few people have turned mildly insane - they seem to honestly believe that we're going to stand very far apart from other humans for the rest of time.

It's just not the case. I'll be in the pub by the end of the year.
Hi there Google employees that occasionally come here to comment!

THIS IS WHAT YOUR COMPANY DOES.

This among MANY other reasons is why people are pissed off with you.

When are you going to fix your toxic corporate culture?
Looks cool. FYI, the "sign in with google" button breaks the google branding guidelines [0]. You must use the colored G logo and it must be on a white background.

I was looking through the examples, it seems like there isn't a way to use this out-of-the-box with an API service that does "/login" and "/signup" by password hash and compare:

- Htpasswd (Dedicated credentials file)

- Simple (user/password pairs by configuration)

- Httpupstream (HTTP API Basic auth configuration)

It mentions "OSIAM" which I'm not familiar with.

Is there a way to use this to "enhance" a basic JWT auth server implementation that does a bcrypt/Argon2 hash or hash comparison on password with these social-sign-on OAuth providers?

Or any similar library, that would be really useful.
But the scientist is quoted saying he is baffled, if that's accurate I'd say the headline is fair.
>If I'm a python developer, I'm now spending less time on my core competency, giving other python developers an edge.

so this argues against the theory that learning other languages and other programming paradigms makes you a better programmer in the languages you already know.
I don’t think that makes sense. I can create “porn” right now with a pencil and paper and upload it to the internet. Is it a creative expression, or porn? It’s both probably. I would suggest this doesn’t work out if you believe in free speech.
And lots of workers, even hourly ones, get paid for 52 weeks despite taking some of those off.
I agree in general, I just find super-wide pages hard to read, and think there's a lot of middle ground between super-wide and "full of whitespace".
I've been very happy with my 3900X so far. The only suggestion I would make would be to upgrade the cooler from the one that comes in the AMD retail box to something like a Noctua. Since I made that change, it's run much cooler and likely extended it's life significantly. Just make sure you have room in your case, as the Noctua is pretty darn big.

My workload with it is general .NET development, transcoding movies, and light gaming.
That article makes a good argument for immunity passports.

- People don't seem to be getting this disease twice in three months, even if exposed again. So there's clearly some level of immunity. In a month, we'll know if it's good for four months. It doesn't have to be lifetime. A year or two would be enough. By then there will be either a vaccine or herd immunity.

- The first batch of rushed antibody tests were not very good, but there are reliable antibody tests now. Above 99%, anyway. That's good enough.

- If huge numbers of tests will fix the problem, that just takes money. Far cheaper than a 3 trillion dollar "stimulus". Cost goes down with volume, too.

- Too few survivors - right now, yes; over time, no. New York City is somewhere in the 15% - 20% range now. By the time the plan is in place, there will be more.

- As for "marginalized groups", this seems to hit Asians and blacks worse. So those groups will have more survivors, more immunity passports, and better access to jobs.
