Seriously. From what I've seen, OOP haters either write shit code in general or they're working on something where FP makes sense and they don't actually mention that when they shit on OOP.

Lot's of FP "fans" just writing procedural code with a terrible mess of functions and no architecture as well. Quite the mixed bag. But they're very passionate and believe in talking about FP as the one true way. I suppose most things go through a phase like that though.

But if you've been around long enough, you don't get too jazzed about any one thing.
Mispaste? That's an Ethiopique piano piece for me.
It gets a little complicated: do you want to continuously display market data and only clear trades once a second, effectively having a visible two-sided auction once a second? Or should it not be visible? (In which case you're no longer giving market data to all market participants, something they'd rather see)?

There are a couple of large firms that make 5-6 figures a day from arbitraging the closing cross. I'm sure they'd love to run their strategies all day; whether they would make more money than HFTs make now is anybody's guess.

I've worked in a wide variety of fields, from OS work to productivity tools, but I'd like to work in a wider variety - I have my eye on finance a bit, but anything new and exciting would be good. Open source is a plus. I could not care less about "tech stacks", I only care about applying technology intelligently to solving problems.

I still own 'sys' and 'wheel' at one of the big ISPs in the US. I used to get a lot of syslog-type messages back in the day.
I have been using mega.nz to synchronize and backup my files for years, and so far I am very happy with it.

Everything works as expected, there is a lot of storage space and end-to-end encryption. There are clients for all platforms and it just works.

I can easily create secure share links whenever I want.

The only downsides are that the browser-based app is very slow to start once you have lots of files, and the android client does not have the same synchronization capabilities.
Yes, that was my intent. Why the choice of the letter "d".
What sort of an economic model makes open source software feasible at large scale?
This is so common as to have made the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

It is bog standard HN moderation—I mean user moderation in this case, not moderator moderation. An inflammatory story makes it to the front page based on how sensational it is, then users flag it for the same reason. Live by the flames, die by the flames.

We sometimes turn off users flags, especially when an article is interesting enough to support a substantive discussion, but that doesn't look like the case here.
ptrdiff_t exists for subtraction between pointers that produce negative values. But how many times have you ever needed to subtract p and q where p represents an array element at a higher index than q? For that matter, how many times have you ever needed to add a negative integer to a pointer?

In C an object can be larger than PTRDIFF_MAX, a real possibility in modern 32-bit environments. (Some libc's have been modified to fail malloc invocations that large, but mmap can suffice.) Because pointer subtraction is represented as ptrdiff_t, the expression &a[n] - a could produce undefined behavior where n is > PTRDIFF_MAX. But a + n is well defined behavior for all positive n (signed or unsigned) as long as the size of a is >= n.

There's an asymmetry between pointer-pointer arithmetic and pointer-integer arithmetic; they behave differently and have different semantics. Pointers are a powerful concept, but like most powerful concepts the abstraction can leak and produce aberrations. I realize opinions vary on whether to prefer signed vs unsigned indices and object sizes (IME, the camps tend to split into C vs C++ programers), but the choice shouldn't be predicated on the semantics of C pointers because those semantics alone don't favor one over the other.
> But your counterpoints (drugs & junk food) are trivially disproven: for a lot of people, those are truly "worth it".

Where's this trivial disproof? Citation needed.

> You have to admit such a long tradition of existing -- the "oldest profession", as the saying goes -- is strong evidence that it's indeed worth it to a lot of people.

No. It's strong evidence that a lot of people momentarily decide to pay for it. That's not at all the same thing, because addiction exists and is fundamentally not a phenomenon of rationality. A lot of addicts explicitly recognise that the thing they crave won't, and doesn't, make them happy.
Didn't realise this was a common problem. My gmail address has about 9 filters with ~100 terms each. Would be nice if Google automatically had an allow list with countries where I will accept account recoveries requests from.

Worst though is that PayPal created an account for another person with my email address. Apparently they don't send out the initial prove-your-ownership email. Still unresolved because PayPal refuses to believe me that I own the address, even though they don't even want to send a test email.
Similarly, on Office Snapshots, we regularly receive contact form messages from people who search stuff like ‘NFL headquarters’.

A lot of them are people releasing some political steam and we can usually tell if a company has been in the news based on the type of messages that come in.

I still don’t really understand how people make the mistake given the nature of our site, but it is what it is.

You do realise that Opposition is blamed for everything right?

Your reaction is everything BJP has worked hard for.

Even id you don't vote for BJP, they want you to think that opposition is useless so you don't vote for them

He should, and has offered to do so, but so far the US government has refused him a fair trial.

Wow. This is a very good analysis on a fundamental algorithm. Haven’t seen a high quality analysis like this for a good while.
I was so happy when I was able to get my (exceedingly common) full name as my gmail address.

1.x decades later, I regret it. I get people's medical information, legal documentation, all of it. It is stunning to me the quantity of PII that flows into my inbox daily. Back when it was a trickle, I used to try and contact the people involved to let them know of the issue. It almost never worked out, and I got tired of getting yelled at.

At this point, I keep my account simply because if I were to close it, I don't trust whomever might have it next. It is what it is.
I abandoned my very short @yahoo.com address in the late 90s due to this. Maybe 1 out of 200 emails I received were actually for me.
I have at least three people that have used my address for things as random as harbor freight and Redbox. Every month or so I’ll get an email receipt and it is always interesting to see what these other people are buying at harbor freight or renting from redbox. My wife has another woman who apparently doesn’t know her email address because she gets notifications about this woman’s spa appointments (it’s interesting how often this other woman gets Botox and lip injections), ballet lesson invoices for her two daughters, etc.

The crazy thing is that we don’t really have any way to contact these people. None of the invoices include identifying information other than what state the businesses are located in.
Ahh yes, then North proceeded to head up the NRA.

This is the most valuable part of the in person learning experience. Free form discussion and building intellectual context around a subject. I experienced this in a community college environment. This should be encouraged in any learning environment.
I bought a WD SSD recently and when I plugged it in, the firmware reported that is was actually a SanDisk, which is I guess a lower-end WD brand at this point. I saw an Internet discussion of other people having this problem with a July 2020 batch of SSDs, so I texted into Amazon support which promised to send a WD drive that didn't report itself as a SanDisk drive to the system.

I'm sure you can guess where this goes. The replacement unit arrived a few days later-- this drive also was marked WD on the outside and identified itself to BIOS etc. as a SanDisk drive. I called Amazon support again and they appeared to consider it a manufacturing defect and I returned it for a refund.

I'm not sure how much I care about whether the drive is SanDisk or WD, but it ought to be consistent. If WD can't get that simple step right I'm not sure why I should trust them to secure and maintain the integrity of a TB of important data.
Could a plugin be made for a private group chat that uniquely mangled all messages, so that each participant got slightly different text, but that didn't interfere with intelligibility, so that automatic logging when it was leaked, could be traced back to the compromised participant.. it would have to be something not easily guessed and corrected, like one participants e's are replaced with 3s. It would have to be substantive, like a paraphrasing of certain parts of the message with gpt3 or something..
It's been trendy for about 10 years to love FP and hate on OOP.
I find your lack of evidence unsurprising.
I recently got a chance to use a 1005g1 (lower end i3 of Icelake family) and was quite surprised. I had it in my hands a bit more than a week before we had to send it back due to issues (SSD "died" and resurrected 3 times in 10 days, was definitely faulty).

Felt definitely faster than the 7200u I keep using, though I didn't get much of a chance to benchmark both. I also noticed that, despite having a much weaker battery (some 36W/hr mess), it managed to pull 6hs on a single charge, on merit of dropping to 1.2Ghz as fast as it could (though it quickly climbed to 3.4Ghz if required).

While we're on the subject on KVMs, what do you guys do about audio?

Currently I have one computer connected to the AV receiver via TOSLINK (optical audio). The other computer is connected to the receiver via coaxial S/PDIF. When I switch computers I have to physically go to the receiver and switch between the two input channels. This presents two problems:

P1: Manual action required

P2: Only one computer can play sound at any given time

Ideally, I would want a S/PDIF mixer that can decode the two S/PDIF streams, add each constituent channel together, and then output that as a single S/PDIF stream to the receiver. But I can't seem to find this anywhere.

Most mixers I've found are:

1. Analog mixers

2. Pro audio mixing consoles that have a dozen input channels and 50 dials on it, with a price tag to match

"held accountable != "punished" or "punative".

I'm not talking about punishment or punative action. I'm talking about accountability, where being 'held accountable' could be a synonym for 'held responsible'. In this case, the way I used the phrase, Britain was 'held responsible' by simply being told to 'go away'.
Do you mean requires no configuration on the source or destination? :)
I once asked a logic professor I'm friends with and he spent fifteen minutes ranting about large ordinals and reverse mathematics and non-absolute logics. Apparently there is some incredibly weird stuff at the fringes of logic that we only really know how to handle in ZFC.

This is purely secondhand, of course, and I forget almost all of the details. Contemporary set theory is scary scary stuff.

It would be great if it was possible to extend this into a kvm over ip.
Maybe from a purely semantics standpoint they're not, but from what I've seen they go hand-in-hand. I think if you went around saying you "knew OOP" but didn't know what a factory was, people would look at you funny.
Tip: Don't use generic names like johnsmith@whatever. It might be your name but a lot of John Smiths are going to use that account on a variety of services they use, for some reason. If you do that prepare to receive a bunch of registration and password reset emails. I even got linked with some guy in another country who did a very expensive Uber ride, which was kindof scary.
> Worth noting that police typically "randomly" drug search black people/drivers at a much higher rate than white people, even though white people are just as likely, or more likely to have drugs on them.

White people are more likely to have drugs when searched for drugs because police are less likely to search white people for drugs for reasons other than having real reason to think that they have drugs.

They may also be more likely to have drugs because they are less likely to be searched out of the blue, but the difference simply due to blacks being subject to more harassment searches is probably the bigger factor.
I remember hearing 10 years ago that Phenom x3 was a 4 core part that always got a dead core in manufacturing (:

So no, nothing new under the sun.
No, wait, like this:

void got_error(void){
char err[] = "Error!\n";
int len = strlen(err);
int ret = printf(err);
if(len != ret)
got_error();
}

Obviously, if the error routine faces an error, it should call the error routine. That is how you handle errors.

Er, but maybe the error routine should also return an error flag in that case? The caller could then check it and call the error routine if needed.
Doesn't amazon have a "thankyou" feature to email the sender?
Is there a sampling bias involved?

I presume that different masses of black holes result in different frequency waves, and that LIGO is not uniformly sensitive to all frequencies. Depending on the actual numbers, this would make these intermediate sized mergers either over or under represented in our data.
It's a widely spreaded misconception, that C++ is a superset of C. Nope. Modern C has ton of features, which are impossible in C++, from loosening requirements to implicit type casting (pointers to int) to main() recursion. They are different languages with different niches. I program both in C and C++, and honestly, I don't see modern application of C outside embedded, where C++ compilers implementation is impractical. C++ currently widely used in OS and drivers development, except Linux kernel of course, the only reason of that design approach is personal opinion of Linus Torvalds.
In my (limited) experience, the Greyhound shipping service becomes competitive when shipments are very bulky (like body parts) more so than when they are heavy.
Big fan of the Level 1 Tech KVMs, both the hardware and support are quite good. You're way more likely to run into issues with docks/monitors/usb devices etc than something actually wrong with the KVM itself.
I’m sorry I’m not sure I understand the relationship you implying between “hide not slides” and small tick sizes.

Hide not slides were used when you didn’t want to move the price at all. If you could move the price a little bit you’d get many of the benefits of a hns without the negative externalities.

Layered assemblies (e.g. drywall/fiberglass/drywall) work best for stopping mid-range and high-pitched sounds, but for stopping low frequency noise (e.g. home theater bass) the only solution is mass and a lot of it.
I have a four-letter Yahoo account from the 1990s. I have never used the address anywhere. It gets lots and lots of spam.

I can choose not to eat sugar. I can't choose not the get shot by the police. Diabete also kills at a much later average age than police.

Also, getting killed is only one hard-to-hide extreme flavor of police brutality. There are also beatings, rapes, and theft (both civil forfeiture and simple banditry).

As someone who is more of an FP fan (though certainly not an OOP hater, just indifferent about OO)-- I would appreciate articles on what the tradeoffs of FP. It would better articulate what sorts of problems are conducive to one style vs another.
Apple Mail has a 30-day storage zone for large email attachments that it automatically offers when you attach big stuff, and I usually use that.

When I don't I usually just zip it and upload it to the media section of my Wordpress-managed website.

I've never generated files in the terabyte range, so I don't worry about that.
> What sort of an economic model makes open source software feasible at large scale?

If you mean business model, pretty much any that isn't selling software licenses, particularly services around the software, whether SaaS or enterprise support. (And enterprise software, even when some of the payment is notionally license fees, is mostly about support, anyway.)
I have one of these, and sometimes I wonder if the stuff I get is really from someone who registered somewhere with my account, or just some highly elaborate phish/spammers' "live account detection" (register for a service using the target's email, then watch for signs of that service being touched, such as the target attempting to unregister itself from the service.)
I’ve learned that there are a lot of places that auto remove the +official (or whatever you have after the + sign). I assume there is a common email library out there that auto strips this information.
Meh, I feel that things like "single responsibility principle" are easy to say, but in practice (a) defining what you mean by "single responsibility" is a challenge, and (b) you're often trading off ease of handling things internally within a class for more difficulty in how you have to communicate with other classes (see microservices).

I agree though, if your classes are so big it's difficult to keep track of which methods are updating private member variables then that's a good sign your class is too big.
I am working on a tool that will help with this. It is built with AlpineJS, Nim, Aria2 and Webview resulting in a 5MB download which doesn't include the torrent file as that varies. The idea is that it is a one click solution as the torrent is embedded with the binary.

The inspiration for this tool is for assist with LAN parties. The one thing I have against the private flag is that it also disables LAN peer discovery, which would be okay if you use a tracker behind the LAN (though the torrent would need to be modified if the hostname/IP changes). Since you can't configure other people's clients I found it simpler to use Aria2 that is preconfigured to disable PEX and DHT.

Combine this with Metalink or Web Seeds, so that you can have a initial seeder based on HTTP. I think using IPFS would be a great web seed as long as the their gateway and Cloudfare's continues to stay up. IPFS creates a permanent URL if you will, so no need to worry about dynamic IPs or domains. It would be great if IPFS would have a smaller binary (right now it is around 20MB compressed) and had a way to get a file and "seed" it like a torrent. But for now I think torrent is mature enough.
I don't know where else to tell this story, but I got the most amazing piece of spam the other day. According to the sender, an unnamed person had told them to contact me. They allege that over the past 50 years the CIA has been investigating life itself and the sender wanted me to see some bombshell revelation that world governments and large corporations had known about for the last 17 years. I was given a shortened link where I could find out the truth and learn how I play a role in fighting the nebulous yet nefarious powers. In the final part of the call to action I was informed that I better hurry up because unnamed powerful people are going to censor this information from the internet soon.
These same guys ran "BorderlessInternet" (webarchive: https://web.archive.org/web/20190216104033/https://borderles...), a DNS geo-unlocker popular a few years back to watch content from other countries (like on Netflix).

That was a horrific crime committed by a psychopath.

That's nothing compared to the systemic comprehensive demonization of black men and boys by police, prosecutors, judges, and civilians.
My email address most recently was used for some online courses at a .mil address. They took me off their list when I asked, the amount of notifications was pretty incredible. It’s been used for dental records in Oklahoma and to buy heavy machinery in Germany. It’s still obscure enough not to be a real problem, so it’s mostly amusing.
