- C has its own syntax for generics

- C has broader support for designated initializers

- C allows implicitly casting void* to any other pointer type

- C has fewer keywords, e.g. you can use "friend" or "class" as identifier

- ...

Despite all this, it's true enough that one can easily write C code that also compiles as C++.

The only question is how to deal with intermittency of renewables.

And if we don’t quite solve it? Then what? This is why Bill Gates is on the board of a nuclear startup. Everyone wants renewables. But not investing in other forms of carbon free energy is simply gambling because a carbon free future must happen.
> I'd love to hear anybody poke holes in this idea.

I really like the idea, but I'll volunteer to offer the criticism you'll probably hear.

If a state can give itself more power by counting more votes, then state governments which are confident that their dominant party will win will have a lot of incentive to allow fraudulent votes, and potentially a lot to gain.

For example, if the state government knows that 70% of voters will vote for the Yellow Party, then they can risk encouraging 10% of the population to cast, say, 4 extra votes (for their deceased grandparents), without worrying that the dreaded Purple Party might exploit this laxness and give Purple the win.

Combine that with some selective enforcement (so Purple voters know that, in practice, only they are at risk of prosecution for voter fraud) and the state will be able to magnify its relative strength compared to states that are more scrupulous.

We’re not taught about money in the UK, either. At least we weren’t when I was at school.

What a difference it would make in the land of payday loans, cheap car credit, buy-to-let mortgages and betting shops.
Chernobyl, three mile island, Fukushima, and Lucens are just the civilian ones and thats _a lot_ for something "totally safe" in a short period of time relative to our long term future... and thats 4 different parts of the world with different governments and engineering standards!

Those "weren't that bad", but it'll be hard to convince the public the next one can't be worse, larger scale, longer lasting, and with more cancer. Even if the science is there, the trust isn't.
Also Czech. I don't think this is common in here at all. You were lucky with your school.
People used to "freely enter" agreements to work for pennies per hour, or to die while building the Hoover dams and the railroads. Are you saying that worker protections are all unnecessary because people freely enter their employment?

IMO, just because someone will work for $4 per hour, doesn't mean that it's ethical for the company to pay them that rate, or that it's desirable to have a society in a race to the bottom. ideally, the wage would be more in line with the actual value that the worker brings in

They would have to prove that Youtube's lack of a download feature is a "technological protection measure" against copyright infringement.

A lack of a feature can be rationalized in any direction. Ultimately not enabling you to download increases youtube's revenues because of people rewatching the same videos online.

Unless Youtube states explicitly that this lack of a download feature is for the purpose of copyright infringement then they can pipe it and stop disrupting everyone outside the US.
I'm glad they've finally been proposed, as ugly as they need to be in Python. It's not even about full homoiconicity; a language which is capable of easily understanding its own symbolic representation along with quote/unquote, as opposed to the direct AST representation, is capable of having somewhat bearable macros. See Elixir for a good example, e.g. at https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/meta/macros.html.

There's the complexity difference, for sure. But the thing that's standing out to me right at the moment is the fact that the mac I got in 1991 just assumed I was going to use HyperCard. The same way the one I got in 2015 assumed I was going to want to use Keynote or Numbers.

HyperCard was a weird beast. While it was a programming tool, it wasn't the kind of programming tool people who programmed for a living were, by and large, using to build the applications they were selling.

(Make no mistake. Some did build the applications they sold with HyperCard. I built and sold one that way. See also Myst.) The tools that currently come free with any OS X license (or Windows, in the case of VS community editions, the sdk, and VS Code) are the tools that real working programmers use to build the things they sell. And it's real working programmers that pick those tools up.

The spirit I remember for HyperCard was: you have this computer now. You're going to want to program it. Here's a thing that does that. The business end was absent. People bought computers to create things, and one of the things you'd create is a program.

And, just to be clear, I'm not waxing nostalgic for 90s programming. Programming and the tooling that enables it are clearly better in pretty much every way now for people who know they want to do that.

I'm nostalgic for this bit of programming tooling that was intended for non-programmers and is now quite obscure. (See: livecode) That is unfortunate because much of its virtue used to lie in the fact that it was just __there__ by default when you fired up a new computer.
That's great, I wasn't aware that mpv was portable to Windows. Writting the above I vaguely realised that the video player example didn't have many legs to stand on. I used it because, for me, the interoperability of mpv and ytdl is a poster child for taking content that's on a closed platform (Youtube) and lifting it out for high interoperability with the rest of the system.

It's a fair point that Windows doesn't put burden on applications to be less interoperable, but it doesn't facilitate it either. The UNIX philosophy has completely bypassed Windows. You can do things on its command-line, especially if you augment it in various ways, but do you ever feel like it's a first-class citizen on Windows, or its ecosystem? I'd argue there's reasons for why, as a rule of thumb, only the biggest FOSS projects are compatible with Windows.

I don't think Rust is very suitable for GPU programming, "first–class" or whatever. And it has not much to do with Rust itself. We have seen time and time again people write deeply inefficient overkill kernels in C for some basic stuff really. I should expect this would happen to Rust, too. In order to tackle this right, it seems, we really should treat GPUs and similar coprocessors for what they are—deeply data–parallel computation accelerators. You must design your pipelines with that in mind; this stuff is also very sensitive to data locality, as you might expect. Now, take a look at this Haskell-inspired language [1], which I think is much more viable in the long–term as far as data parallelism and composition goes. Admittedly it's not in itself designed for graphics, but that's okay. From their website: "Futhark is a small programming language designed to be compiled to efficient parallel code. It is a statically typed, data-parallel, and purely functional array language in the ML family, and comes with a heavily optimising ahead-of-time compiler that presently generates either GPU code via CUDA and OpenCL, or multi-threaded CPU code."

I can see that very much unlike Futhark, Rust-GPU is deeply graphics focused, but I argue that a very similar language can be made to accomodate if not all then most shader-specific things. In which case, Futhark would be a very good place to start.

> Take a tube and spin it around you in space, it does nothing to you because there's no other forces working on you.

Yes, it does — if you are in contact with the structure, the force you feel is the outside acting against your inertia to keep you in uniform circular motion. There is a layer of air in contact with the structure at any moment, so it ends up co-rotating, so anywhere inside except the axis of rotation itself will feel a force proportional to the distance from the axis.

> When we're talking about a generation ship, we're talking about something a little larger than the Gravitron.

Naturally. You can still spin them along and axis: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder

We are a long way from been able to build such structures, and I have doubts about the suitability of human political psychology given the travel times involved and how long countries last for on average, but the physics of spin-gravity is fine, even though there may be noticeable Coriolis effects depending on scale.
That's not how it works with stuff people made personally.
Understanding what a savings account is and understanding different corporate structures are quite different levels of financial literacy.

I'm not sure how someone could not understand what a savings account is (you put money in, get a crap amount of interest, eventually take money out. What's to understand?) But i agree with the general premise. However corporate structure might be a bit more than needed.

Fwiw in canada (alberta) we had a class that covered the basics of financial literacy.

You can hint the video player with metadata.

To make the first subtitle track default:

-disposition:s:0 default

Or you can make it forced:

-disposition:s:0 forced

And to clear the disposition of the second subtitle track (if it was default in the source stream)

-disposition:s:1

The problem is that video players are inconsistent in term of how they honour these parameters.

> People say this, but I'll note that humans have lived through "crippling poverty" for most of our 2 million year existence. It is only crippling poverty by today's distortion lens (also a shifting baseline).

That's very easy to say. But it's hard for me not to notice that you're commenting on web forums, which means you probably haven't given up on the creature comforts of modernity. If you're not willing to do it, what gives you the right to tell half of India to?

> We should focus on what people really need to live quality lives, which is: good health (read: access to modern healthcare, freedom from pollution, disease), good food (read: freedom first from starvation, from malnutrition, poor diet), shelter from the elements, and then the rest of Maslow's hierarchy. Cars, TV, home appliances, and the whole lot of today's energy-hungry living isn't sustainable, and I'd argue isn't even the thing we should be shooting for. People of the past lived very different and satisfying lives that we simply can't imagine because, frankly, we are spoiled. People lived in tribes and hunted with spears for 100,000 years at least. And you know what, they beat those drums, painted their faces, tracked the stars, and contrary to whatever we might believe from our high place of "development" they actually enjoyed their lives.

I see a whole lot of people saying things like this, and literally no one actually living it. The contradiction is hard to ignore. Maybe the old way of living wasn't really that nice.

I think OP meant that it's OK to be middle class mediocre, nothing especially bad or shameful about it. Being poor is the other extreme of the system - just like good luck and smart decisions can make you rich, bad luck and stupid moves can make you poor. I don't think that anyone argued that society shouldn't reduce the risks and provide a safety net for poor people. Also IMHO for social stability it's important that system slowdowns both of these tendencies, not let people get extremely poor, but also not extremely rich over the night.

I have been doing desktop applications using Qtools[0] which is relatively pleasant to work with. I have prepared a hello-world kind of Qtools project[1] that is automatically built and released into ZIP files using Travis CI. (I haven't looked at it for a while and it seems that the configuration for one of the OSes needs a bit of an update due to a change in the directory structure of SBCL releases there, but the rest works.)

I don't have much experience with web applications in Lisp, but there's some substantial tooling there and I know of people who have done that before, both client- and server-wise.

I have no experience whatsoever about Common Lisp on mobile.

If I can get any of them onto a modern system I will definitely upload :)

> People say this, but I'll note that humans have lived through "crippling poverty" for most of our 2 million year existence. It is only crippling poverty by today's distortion lens (also a shifting baseline).

Humans have died through crippling poverty for most of our existence, and that baseline, however shifted, is still not enough to ensure that everyone - in both developing and developed countries - can have good health, good food, and shelter.

Sure, this is mostly due to inequal resource distribution, but I don't believe that the crisis caused by climate change will rectify that, at least by itself.
What I'm personally looking for is the ability to create/grab virtual displays from MacOS. I'm guessing that Luna Display dongles are EDID dummy plugs that are used also to trigger GPUs to render for VFIO setups. I think those dummy plugs can also work for a Mac. Haven't tried that though.

The legislation not only needs to pass the Senate and the House, but also various committees and the president must also typically sign it. Each one of these hurdles reduces the chance of successful legislation which tends to favor the status quo. As noted by James Madison in someone else’s post, he thought the Senate should favor landowners over the majority “to secure the permanent interests of the country against innovation”

Arguably this inherently favors conservatism as passing no new legislation will keep things the way they are. Progressives will, in most cases, need to get legislation or referendums through to make meaningful changes to the current system.

Florida seems to have figured this out. This election there is a referendum to require voters to approve all new referendums twice to try to decrease the number of successful referendums.

Google strikes me as the kind of company where middle-management "just wants or needs to do _something_ to demonstrate _impact_" and just goes ahead and does it their way, and meanwhile, developers (who undoubtedly are top-notch in their own regard) also want to put their skills to good use and just decide to do it "their way" too, with no synchronizing/harmonizing interface between those two groups. And every once in a while, a developer or UX researcher gets thrown in the mix (or middle) to try and build some kind of a bridge between them. It really looks like projects are started out of a crazy overnight "we need to do SOMETHING NOW" hurry, and then 6 months down the road, everyone just sort of lost interest and moved on to other things.

I'm autistic and have ADHD and music is my primary special interest. I have a large collection of rare and unique tracks, and I listen to music every day. I've been very satisfied with Google Play Music and now I'm having this utterly abysmal YT Music bs forced on me. It feels like a cruel joke.

I'm grateful for this thread because this move absolutely destroyed my last bit of good will towards Google. I'm incensed over it. The YT Music app is so much worse an experience, it is acutely evident users are not what Google has in mind with this app. Just embarrassingly bad, as has been noted by many others here.

For the users who stay using the undeniably worse app, Google will see more views for yt videos, upping their vanity metrics there. The addition of ads playing on music that I brought to the app in the base edition is awful, but good for the bottom line of the ads group.

Meanwhile, thanks to this horseshit, I am [finally] pulling my personal domain off of their G-suite, my next phone is going to be an iPhone [or a Librem], and I'm going to offer my services free to any of the clients I've put on to G-suite [several dozen over the years, regrettably] who want to egress somewhere safer.

Youtube is inescapable for video and I will likely always use it. But I'm going to stop paying for ad free and find other ways to get what I want from Google without giving them anything in return.

I'll also do everything in my power to try to make the ill will this has generated into a chorus.

Well you quite obviously are not going to due to selection bias. But yes, there are people who have tried to simplify their lives down, both now and since the dawn of the modern era. Pick any level of tech you like: log cabin, lean to, nothing but a knife. People try. Some succeed. Sometimes they write books, sometimes books are written about them. Very few post on hackernews. Nowadays it's pretty much impossible to escape the modern world, so I wouldn't hold my breath for naturalist/primitivists to rise up and take over the world.

But I'm not really arguing for anything. We're headed back to sustainability one way or another.
