It wasn't me who said "templates" first. (I don't think of them as a practical way to do compile time computation).

I was mostly looking at constexpr and whatever similar things have appeared in C++ lately. And I wanted to know about actual applications of them in the wild that make a difference.

Because, yeah I can precompute a 100K hash table or whatever at compile time, but I can also just do it at program startup (would anyone notice?) which is by far the simplest thing to do. Or I could just generate the data in a separate build step which is probably more hassle compared to constexpr but also probably friendlier in terms of build times in practice.
Why would I answer a request from Bob down in IT about my home network?

Readable is a matter of education. As a C++ programmer I've learned what {} means, and so that is more readable than begin/end which happens to not be the block symbol in any language I know well. Considering all the languages I know I've concluded that block symbols are important enough to be worth learning as a separate symbol (Looking at python where it is white space). Of course I can learn begin/end, but it isn't worth typing those extra letters of the word when something that common can be done in one.

Note too that {} graphically indicate the open/close in a way that begin/end is another reason not to like begin/end.

Apple is still a very small part of the market when it comes to laptops and desktops. Their ARM-based computers will be a tiny drop in the bucket when stacked against mobile ARM chipsets. Sure, I expect PC vendors to jump on the ARM train as well, but if the sale to Nvidia happens, that could stop before it gets into full swing, or not happen at all. I'm sure PC makers who are thinking about ARM are watching this deal very carefully, and are avoiding jumping too soon.

You are right. I do however feel that psychiatry is not exactly as much of a science as other medical fields. I'm not convinced that what is considered a disorder according to the DSM is exactly as much a disorder as, let's say, a vision defect. I'm also really reluctant to try out medication that will alter my mood and mental acuity in unpredictable ways. As much as possible I would prefer to not take things for years and to not end up depending on them for good functioning in the world.
I don't want to trust your certificates in my browser, even if you invent all sorts of sophisticated technical hoops to jump through I have no reason to believe you actually did all that hoop jumping. Get certificates for the names you want from a PKI we both trust. The only one that's likely to be applicable is the Web PKI, which is what was done in this article.

For some other purposes, where the Web PKI isn't applicable, you might have a solid argument for why people should trust your PKI. But then they aren't trusting certificates in their browser but in some other likely very constrained system that's easier to reason about.

For example I've operated (for past employers) a service that was available over HTTPS to a handful of insurance and financial outfits using mutual TLS. I'd issue client certificates for them, and then they'd use their private key and their certificate to access the service over HTTPS. In that case I ran the CA, and so they're trusting me. But only narrowly to identify customers of the service I run, so it's not tricky to reason about.

Now, technically you could use certificates from Let's Encrypt as client certificates, they have the right EKU for that purpose but then your identity has to be an Internet FQDN and you need new certificates every ninety days, which sucks. So although I'd have accommodated a paying customer who firmly insisted on doing that, none of them did.

I know quite a few body builders, and let me tell you, they are not even a tiny by secretive about taking supplements. Why on earth would they be?

It's NOT drugs. It's supplements. Think vitamin C, not cocaine. Most of them beyond protein don't do anything much at all, there's a lot of marketing hype.
Of course, it was. Snowden has been saying it for years now. May be Prezi DJT will pardon him.
Innovation is going in the wrong direction. I'd love if smartphone providers were building cameras with fancier camera covers, that the user could control. The last thing I want is a camera behind the screen that I can't even see.

And yes, I know that some have suggested that this will fix the uncanny valley effect during video calls by allowing viewers to look directly at each other rather than upwards, towards a camera. This will not fix it. There are other things causing this effect, such as latency, lighting, lack of a view of full body posture, etc.
Trying to decide if mental disorders are disorders or adaptations is a false dichotomy. They can be both. For example, the 'dark triad', narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy, can help an individual succeed. Studies have shown that women are attracted to these personality traits in men.

On a group level, anxiety in individuals may be evolutionarily advantageous to the group while being disadvantageous to the individual. If a person is hyper alert, it may help the group to become aware of danger but cause tremendous stress to the individual.

If you're struggling to find work, then here is a signal. A sign you've been waiting for. A time to take action. An invitation.

Your internet is a dark forest. Your job search is little more than a clearing in the forest. Jobs, strange jobs, come forth from the forest into the clearing of thy illuminated screen, and then go back. You must have the courage to seek them out, but you don’t have to go it alone.

I am a first-class community builder. I am the diamond in the rough. I am the eye of the storm. However, I am mortal. Circumstances can conspire to create a challenge even for me.

Last week, I began a job search. I pulled out my bag of uncommon hacks. I scheduled six interviews in seven days. This could be you. But I’m not offering you top-down answers. You’ll have to work for it.

Today, I am forming a band of eight. And, I am going to war, and taking the eight with me. We're taking souls. We’re winning hearts and minds. We’re all getting hired!

You can do it. Join the eight. An exclusive work-group. It's not for everyone. It’s not for the others. It’s for you buddy. We're going to hack our way through the forest to your next job.

More money. Less time. Don’t think it’s possible... Madness? Madness? This is smarter.

I was a fairly junior software engineer at the time. And took the job only because it was 2008 and I was unemployed. Had never used Ada but the employer (rhymes with "Going") didn't seem to mind. My mother was kind of enough to supply me with all of her old Ada books when she finished laughing about me taking a job using a language she had long since left behind.

The money was about... market rate for the time. Not good, not terrible. Better than taking a job completely outside of my field.

Bar and Baz can be a Foo without necessarily being derived classes that inherit from base class Foo.

In Python defining function f is enough for a class to be a Foo (and Foo could not exist at all in code, replaced by the informal concept that a type with method f is a Foo)

In languages like Java, there are interfaces, which are not classes at all and describe with tedious compiler-friendly explicitness what a class needs to qualify as a Foo.

On a different variability axis, sometimes you need to declare interface implementations explicitly ("class Bar implements Foo" in Java) and sometimes not (Python duck typing, C++ concepts)
I dislike Facebook as much as the next person. I think most self-regulation is somewhat of a joke, especially in the private sector, but I also think the blame belongs with the money people who buy the manipulation. Sure Facebook has rotten ethics, but the real danger to our democracy is the fact that you can buy a medium platform and just manipulate all day long.

Our only real option to fight it, if we refuse to go after the people who pay for the manipulation, is to make sure we educate our children better.

But really, I think we should ask ourselves if we really want that sort of power sitting with a few billionaires. Because it’s not going to stop with Facebook. It’ll be on any social media ever.
I am glad they saw me because I took a power nap around 3000ft alt. Cool beans.

That's rare. Typically you would think bad situations are good cards for oppositions. Pandemic, not standing up strongly against 'enemy', are good cards for playing the nationalism game. Unless the sitting government have handled the situation very well, the opposition will have something to say about it and people would agree with them.

My wife owns an email address in Gmail and you wouldn't think it was a very popular email address. Until of course someone's account information at numerous shopping sites began showing up. My wife contacted this person by phone and it turned out to be an elderly woman. The elderly woman was not having it and began arguing with my wife about whose email address it was. The elderly woman ranted on and on about HOW DARE MY WIFE TAKE HER EMAIL ADDRESS!?*@4@~!

She just didn't get it and more and more new accounts began showing up.

When that didn't work, I tracked down one of her relatives on Facebook, who happened to be younger so she got the whole Internet thing, and explained that her elderly grandmother (it turns out) was using an address that didn't belong to her. Her granddaughter told me she would talk to her grandma and tell her how silly she was being and promised to explain how her grandma could keep herself safe while shopping online.

No new accounts in the grandma's name have shown up since...
Wiki:
(...) Woodward states there is no violation of momentum conservation in Mach effects:

If we produce a fluctuating mass in an object, we can, at least in principle, use it to produce a stationary force on the object, thereby producing a propulsive force thereon without having to expel propellant from the object. We simply push on the object when it is more massive, and pull back when it is less massive. The reaction forces during the two parts of the cycle will not be the same due to the mass fluctuation, so a time-averaged net force will be produced. This may seem to be a violation of momentum conservation. But the Lorentz invariance of the theory guarantees that no conservation law is broken. Local momentum conservation is preserved by the flux of momentum in the gravity field that is chiefly exchanged with the distant matter in the universe.

It's this short sighted argument. If Nvidia "destroys" Arm then they just end up flushing a billion dollars down the drain. ARM's is important because it's what everyone uses. Once Nvidia destroys it nobody will use it and therefore Nvidia will gain no leverage. If anything, once Nvidia buys ARM it will have to keep it alive.

Bret Weinstein's doctoral thesis Evolutionary Trade-Offs: Emergent Constraints and Their Adaptive Consequences [1] describes the hypothesis. Telomere length limits the number of times a cell can replicate so longer telomeres hold the potential for longer life. The trade-off is that long telomeres also allow pre-cancerous tumors to grow much larger and increase the probability of a cancer promoting mutation occurring in younger animals.

Hello HN, this is a github app implementation of FixCache(https://people.csail.mit.edu/hunkim/images/3/37/Papers_kim_2...) I wanted to do as a side project that might prove to be useful for pull request reviewers.

The app maintains a fix-sized cache of bug-prone files from fix-commits and updates a pull request with information about the cache if these bug-prone files have been updated in the pull request.
Interesting but 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 would probably cover 80% of that use case.

Could we all just wait until there's a (reviewed) paper in Nature or something?
You have a trait Foo that has a function f()

And then you have Bar and Baz that implement trait Foo.

Example:

pub trait Foo {
//
fn f(&self) -> String;
// Default implementation, can be overriden
fn banana(&Self) -> String {
String::from("BananaNjam!")
}
}

pub struct Baz {
pub BazThingy: String,
pub Whatever: String,
}

impl Foo for Baz {
fn f(&self) -> String {
format!("{} {}", self.BazThing, self.Whatever)
}
}

pub struct Bar {
pub Bar: String,
pub Tralala: String,
}

impl Foo for Bar {
fn f(&self) -> String {
format!("{} {}", self.Bar, self.Tralala)
}
}

// Now function that uses Foo, could be any object that implements foo
pub fn FooFighter( item: &impl Foo) {
println!("FooFighters rocks because {}", item.f() );
}

The neat thing is that Bar and Baz does not have to share all of the traits. SO you can have default trait lets sey Debug, that prints object, on most objects, but Foo only on a few, if that makes sense
“mantissa” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_logarithm#Mantissa_and_...) comes close, but excludes 1.

IEEE 754 sort-of has that as a part of a float, too (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significand), and people use the term “mantissa” for it, but it has to special-case 0.

⇒ barring better suggestions, I think I would stretch the definition of mantissa a bit further.
1. Snowden is not a US judge, and hasn't spent the last half decade deciding whether each US spying operation was legal or not. Snowden released the documents that allowed the courts to decide which programs were legal, so he cannot be held responsible for the decision that the courts made, because time machines don't exist.

Holding him responsible would be the same as a person calling the police to report a crime, the cops showing up and arresting a person, then months down the line the courts rule not guilty on the arrestee, so the police now go charge the original caller with false reporting. It's ludicrous to think he could've known which programs would be borderline illegal and which would step over that line. And if it took the US justice system 6 years and millions of dollars worth of man hours to actually make that decision, how could he possibly have correctly come to the same conclusion, beforehand, with no governmental support?
Snowden does not have the files. Did not have them when he arrived in Russia. That's why it took so long for the Russians to let him in. They could not believe he did not take any intelligence with him.

The direct, immediate consequences (that is: the current state) have to be attributed to the intervention. Some consider the belief "hey, we'll just bomb it and everybody will love each other and it'll be great" naivete bordering on retardation, but I think "we really didn't know any better" has to be ruled out after repeated use. At some point even a toddler learns not to put their hand on the hot stove, unless pain is their goal.
