Well, of course; many of them will be functions, not macros.

What I mean is, there will only be 20~30 builtins; the rest can be implemented 'in userspace', as it were.

Though specifically in the case of cl, clos might complicate that somewhat, but probably not a ton.
We already have something similar - sucralose. You basically substitute 3 of the hydroxyl groups with chlorine atoms. Human and bacterial enzymes (at least the ones in the gut) can't digest it. It's basically excreted unchanged.

There's a saying "get woke, go broke". It's the final lifestage of an organization that doesn't have a future. Activists take over and use the final $millions to virtue signal.

I'm old enough to remember when the Mozilla staff revolted because they couldn't bear to have a Republican in the office. Personally, I hope it all goes down in a ball of flame.
Using C++ exceptions is just not acceptable in large, production systems. I've worked on several C++ systems with tens of millions of lines of code. Different teams independently reached the conclusion that exceptions were destabilizing, and hid bugs and failures.

Take a look at the Google C++ guidelines, as an example.

https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Exceptions

They're fine in other languages (python, etc.). Note that golang does not really have them, except in a very crude sense.
maybe something like this?

With tens of thousands of publications on COVID, its absolutely amazing how few there are on the follow up of these patients. (ie what comes next after infection). There is so little data we are flying blind (again).

That said, there is evidence that the other coronaviruses that caused epidemics (SARS and MERS) can cause clinically meaningful myocarditis and heart failure as a result. In vitro and autopsy evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 directly infects myocardial cells. So it's plausible that there will be some cardiac sequelae of COVID, perhaps in many patients or maybe just in those at high risk. We just don't know. Assuming that myocarditis will be a major problem because 2 uncontrolled studies said so is as silly as assuming hydroxychloroquine works because of similar strength of evidence. But dismissing it out of hand (which I'm not suggesting GP is doing) is not smart either. We should be appropriately skeptical, but need to investigate further.
Sure, it's better for them if their goal is total financial surveillance. It's not better for people who care about financial privacy, and it makes a mockery of the rule of law when laws are enforced selectively in secret like that.

Not really surprising that increasing numbers of people would just stop caring about breaking such laws.
Their securities laws only apply to those under US jurisdiction. BitMEX does not accept US customers.

BitMEX immediately closes the accounts of anyone who ever signs in with a US IP, no matter what. I've been there: my bitmex account is permanently closed because I signed into it while I was holidaying to the USA.

They _are_ world policing.
How much adjustability do they have?

If I got pipe clamps would I need to have a whole range of pipes just to handle standard work?
The second part you may have missed is "You can take as much or as little time off as you like." We feel if you are happy our customers will be happy! Why have fixed vacation periods, its more important to take breaks when you need them to prevent burnout.
For the past 10 years or so, every time I read one of those articles on the state of modern web development, I'm thankful that I've dodged that bullet. Coming from the desktop world, it feels like the amount of complexity exposed to the end users of all those frameworks is quite insane compared to what they're getting from them.
Great article, ridiculously long.

Hi Ido :-)

They still do that, I can confirm.
There is a rights-based approach in which (a) yes, someone inflicting a harm on you gives you the right to inflict a proportionate harm on them; (b) you can then go to them and threaten to inflict this harm, and usually get them to agree to pay you a fine instead, thus benefiting both of you. Labor could be used to substitute for a fine if someone can't pay, although I think in today's prisons the prisoners don't necessarily do work.

There are problems. For example, breaking a professional tennis player's arm may be much more career-damaging, and arguably "worse", than breaking a professional chess player's arm; and excessive retaliation is itself a crime. In that case, it may be good to get a judge or some such to evaluate the severity before carrying out the retaliation. That also goes for judging the evidence—obviously, punishing someone for a crime they didn't commit is itself a crime. So one could imagine this turning into something at least vaguely resembling today's court system.

(I buy the hypothesis. Just too much fun to not make that joke.)
Yes, exactly. It is hard for me to imagine a physics instructor at any level introducing new mathematical techniques and more or less leaving the student on his or her own to decipher the runes required. The important part is the physics and the relationships of the quantities; not how they're represented on paper. It's kind of sad that CS doesn't seem to have a similar view.
It really does not have to, equipment is a tradeoff for time. The ancient civilizations produced a lot of masterpieces with simple hand tools. Not to mention the French periods of fine furniture such as Louis XIII which was the late 1500's IIRC. You can do a lot with hand tools, power tools just save you a lot of time. Much of the old furniture was built with a handsaw, hand drill, planners and chisels. You could reasonably build nice things with just those, but you are going to spend months rather than weeks doing it with those tools.

Thanks for reading,

It has two key aspects that are very magical: the use of Proxy, and the way "tracked functions" work. But both of these, if you take the time to learn, are not very hard to understand. And once you do, everything else very straightforwardly and non-magically falls out from that. These two bits of magic also don't have many caveats/leaks, so in practice you usually don't have to think about the way they're implemented and can just work with the abstraction.

Compare this with frameworks like Aurelia that bring in piles of new, implicit, inscrutable abstractions in order to accomplish roughly the same thing. Sprawling magic, that you find yourself constantly tripping over left and right.

> No, worldwide numbers are ~34 million confirmed. You don't get to just randomly multiply by some fudge factor that feels right to you and then reason based on that.

Certainly any other number is entirely speculative, but given the minor symptoms it usually causes (and the lack of symptoms in many people) it seems a huge stretch to assume that confirmed cases == number of infections.
I am aware of native clients. Due to being unofficial they often get abandoned and two years ago the list looked differently. What I am talking about is that something simple as chat application should not take gigabyte of memory and incorporate a whole web-browser underneath.

+1. The second order effects are really troubling. I've heard that millions of people became first time gun owners. I support the right to keep and bear arms, but there were millions of people who didn't feel the need to own a gun and something changed this year. It doesn't portend well for the future. I hope it really is that case that an armed society is a polite society.
My simpler response to the same question: the signal:noise ratio of the comments is vastly superior to all but the very best and rarest articles. 95% of the value I derive from HN is from the comments.
It seems increasingly obvious we are being set up for violence.

I've searched extensively for any studies that describe the 3 month follow up and found exactly one, recently published. I would love if you could identify more.

Results aren't really as described here. Some patients recover, but about 1/3 had persistent lung findings and many had decreased lung function (as measured by DLCO).

After an interview I attended at a fintech company, my Indian team lead straight out said she was trying to figure out the interviewee's cast. I was not familiar with the concept -- so my expression was mostly blank -- but she immediately followed up with "oh, I shouldn't have said that".

I took no action, but wasn't sure what to do. After I learned more about it, I started to wonder where I was in this hierarchy.

If you ever overhear something like this, what would you do?
3 of the 4 defendants "remain at large", and live in countries w/o US extradition treaties.

I wouldn't be surprised to see BitMEX continue operating for the next 10 years. Their exchange is simply the best.

Spirit will often only have a flight to/from a particular destination every few days. They used to have a fair amount of cancellations/delays that would cause you to be stranded.

I have never flown Spirit, and I will continue to avoid it in the future because the low fares aren't enough to justify potentially getting stranded and having to book last minute at extreme cost on a competing airline. If your plans are flexible and you just want to travel for the lowest amount possible, it's probably a good option to consider.
Depends. WoW Classic brought a fair bit of that feeling back. The server I play on has a lower population and that helps I'm sure.

You can't possibly be serious thinking that the confirmed cases is nothing more than a lower bound for the actual number of people that have been infected. Do we know the exact multiplier, of course not. But from various studies it seems like 10x is in the ballpark.
Pretty far left seems common in the Bay Area.
Unlikely that contributed anything, however, if BitMEX donated to Trump's campaign or stayed at Trump properties, I wouldn't be surprised if this indictment would've never saw the light of day.
Oh no. I would actually argued they should have done VPN a long long time ago as a revenue stream. Along with other Internet services or SaaS. The problem isn't just Firefox, they need to improve on that, but they also need to not solely relying on that Search Engine Deal.

The scenario have been the same in 2010 as it is now. But no one at Mozilla management saw it. Arguably Firefox OS was the right direction, but their engineering team got too distracted to run everything on JS.
I never found a device that supports HDMI Ethernet Channel. I'm really curious whether any device exists.

My point is that the same standards are not applied blindly, and that South Asian male names are judged more harshly that other ones for an equivalent PR.

And also, who said that your practices are the canonical ideal? Lots of people do get their first PR as a minor typo fix, and go on to do more significant things.

I think the trick was making it plentiful and cheap enough that our bodies functioning as intended would consume a toxic quantity.
Obviously no.

It is a stupid idea from Jungian and Froidian "psychology" that symbols have been invented once and then propagated everywhere, and that this supposed propagation is an evidence of migration pathways and relationship.

Same stupidity goes with linguistics - if something is called by the same name in the different parts of the world, there must be an infallible evidence of migration and relation.

No, everything related to the constraints of the environment (Nature) has been invented many times independently. Basic symbols based on geometric shapes too.

Trivially: ask the VPN operators where they were connecting from. If they really don't store logs, ask them to.

Less trivially: other, out-of-band clues based on support emails sent to BitMEX; location information in BitMEX profile; same username on other platforms and mention of location; that sort of thing
I have zero tolerance for trying to evaluate candidates on things other than performance against what the interview is benchmarking against. Hearing something like that would have had me instantly report it to HR.

It makes me angry now even reading it. Why would this have any impact on the work the candidate would be able to perform?
Martin Fowler – Vote Against Trump, Again
There were a lot of insightful comments when the lawsuit mentioned in the article was first announced.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23697827
This is an extremely fraught topic, and I will give a very fraught answer:

I think you did the right thing in this situation. She did not express anything malicious and she corrected herself (at least partially).

It sounds like your colleague was doing something anyone would do (assessing someone by the social strictures they are familiar with) and did something wrong (devoted effort to it in a hiring context, said something aloud.) Yes, everyone does this sort of thing -- in American society overall we don't have good names for the subtle side of our class system, so we can't express the puzzle as clearly as some other societies, but we do see the world (consciously or unconsciously) along these lines.

When I hear people say inappropriate things -- usually less fraught ones like marital status -- I point out that they cannot say such things. It serves as a reminder of proper procedure. I do not escalate the situation if they seem to be acting without malice and, like the person in your story, seem to desire to do better.

(Full disclosure, I am a white-presenting man.)
Wow, what a delusional article.

I know one thing, you don't want to be on the side of the people who wrote this.

Have they even watched the debate twice? I feel like they haven't even watched it once. They don't seem to be able to represent it at all.

Image Obama or Yang in the debate. It would have been far different. But not a word on the responsibility of Biden.

I also thought Biden obviously setting up the routine on his son a bit distasteful as well. I get the tactic, but I don't approve.

Not a single thing done by Trump was unexpected. Yet the media feigns supprise. What a world we live in.
I had an interim manager who did this subtly. It wasn't hard for us to catch on after some time, we brought it up to HR and he was disciplined as far as I know, and soon left the company, not sure on what terms.

It's absolutely not okay to discriminate candidates by something like caste, or social status. It's like if your lead said she was trying to determine if they were an inferior race.
Ask HN: How to Not Be Autistic?
I've recently been made unemployed and I'm really struggling to find a job.

I'm pretty sure I'm a good developer... I know wherever I work I tend to end up being the go to guy when devs are struggling and I know I've always been viewed very highly by those I work with.

The comments I get from interviews are always similar – technically I do a good job when I'm set a technical exercise, but my communication skills aren't up to par for the senior roles I'm applying for. I'm fairly sure it's my autism that makes me so bad at communication, although I know people on the spectrum who are very articulate so perhaps I have something else wrong with me.

The problem I'm having is that in interviews I can't translate the thoughts in my head into words so I come across poorly. I don't know how common this is, but I don't have words for most the stuff I do. I tend to think of things visually then struggle to convert those visual ideas into words.

I was trying to explain to a friend how interviews go for me recently and the best example I could think of is that it's like trying to answer the question, "how would you go about walking in a straight line?". Obviously I know how to walk in a straight line, but I'm not sure I know how explain how I walk in a straight line with words. I guess I use my brain to communicate with the muscles in my legs somehow, but other than that I don't really know how I do it. It's very similar with code for me. Arrow functions aren't "arrow functions" they're just, `() => {}`.

It really gets me down because I know I'm technically far more capable than I'm able to demonstrate verbally, but I can't prove it without being in a job for a few months and consistently demonstrating my technical ability.

Does anyone have any advice for someone like me? It's been a few weeks of interviews and rejections now and it's really starting to get me down.
caste isn't a protected class so they might be fine legally.
> Then there's the fact that the USA is the 3rd largest country by population so it should be weighted by population

Most of the statistics I cited are already weighted by population; they are per-capita and percentages: "as a percentage of the population"; "a quarter of all Americans"; "almost no one gets a trial"; "2%".

Those population-weighted values are astonishing.

I agree the 4th largest thing is not weighted, but the astonishing part of that is that USA unconvicted incarcerations rank significantly at all, when compared with convicted in other countries. USA population size is not sufficient to explain this.

It's the opposite of what I'd hope and expect, for a country where people talk of "land of the free" and "rule of law".
> First, it was intended to serve a half-slave-owning society.

Semantics. The point is that it was intended to serve a society which no longer exists.

The society that is currently American society is not the same in scale, scope, complexity, culture or tenor to American society in the 18th century. It's the same only in the way the Ship of Theseus is the same after having been gradually transformed from a small boat to a modern aircraft carrier, which is to say, fundamentally different in every way that matters.

>Second: When do we begin to consider that? Maybe in 1868, when the 14th Amendment was ratified?

How about now?

The Electoral College had one job - to prevent a demagogue like Trump from taking power. He was elected by a fraction of a fraction of the populace, and a minority of those who voted, thanks in no small part to a system in which only a few votes in one or two swing states actually ever matter. In a truly representative democracy, Trump would never have happened.

To be fair on the numbers front, there is a lot of evidence suggesting the true death rate for infected individuals is under 1% - so with 1 million dead I don't think it's unreasonable to guess at least 100 million have had it.

That said I am surprised how many dismissive comments there are in any thread about COVID around here. It is tiring how many people are not taking it seriously enough, and ironically this attitude also contributes to businesses not being able to safely reopen.

Yeah. I wasn't sure there was any legal recourse. Nonetheless, it does seem highly unethical to make a decision in an interview based on caste.

Although, the OP's case, the person did quickly realize her mistake, but bias might still be present.
