Well if you’re male and homeless, you learn a mental model pretty quickly that goes something like:

“Nobody cares about you. You are not entitled to comfort or nourishment. You are not worthy of compassion or empathy or courtesy. If you can’t live without it, you will die without it. But you don’t need it. You can endure far more than you ever would have believed. Nothing in this world is worth the sanctity of your mind. You will not succumb to pain or drugs or temptation or dishonesty or self-pity. Everybody around you is failing this test. You are different. Your soul is getting stronger. This is a test. This is only a test.”

You still somehow don’t get it so I’ll explain it very, very simply.

My iPhone has THOUSANDS of features. Battery life, interoperability with other devices, reliability, familiarity, particular apps that I’ve purchased already, and hundreds of other reasons all contribute to why I like one smartphone brand over another.

And yes access to third party apps is one of those thousands of contributing factors but ultimately I’m not going to buy a phone that has a crappy battery and doesn’t work with any of my other devices just so I can download a couple extra cool apps without the App Store. Besides I can jailbreak this iPhone (at a privacy risk since I have to flash the whole firmware) and run sideloaded apps if I want to but it’s usually not necessary.

So you keep equating making a choice based on thousands of variables with a large scale consumer endorsement of one particular variable which is not at all scientific or logical.

For the average consumer, the fact that they have $200 in iOS apps they’ve already purchased over the last decade and their entire family is on Macs and iPhones that have generally been reliable is enough reason to stay with another iPhone. They’re not thinking about walled gardens when they’ve probably never even realized the distinction.

I think using this feature is the wrong advice. Frankly I think much of modern C++ should be rejected. If you want to use a language like with those features then fricken switch language! There are countless better alternatives today: Rust, Swift, D, Haskell etc.

Many are stuck on C++ for legacy reasons. I have worked in such large C++ legacy systems for many years in the past. The average programmer simply cannot deal effectively with this modern C++. It is too complex.

I’ve been down that road being exited about new C++ features only to realize that I’ve actually reduced the productivity of my co-workers.

Often I wonder if C++ programmers all suffer a Stockholm syndrome. They have come to sympathize with their hostage taker C++, making up excuses for the many ways C++ abuse and terrorize them.

I go to these C++ conference talks in occasion and I see people in ecstatic praise about how some genius C++ guru came up with an elaborate convoluted solution to something which is like two lines of code in a sane programming language.

Seriously I think C++ has drained so much of their brainpower that they have simply not been able to look outside and see how the grass is greener everywhere else.
That makes it sound like [divorce + medical crisis] would maybe have "reset" their finances, but not kept them in on the street for so long if it hadn't been for the student loan which couldn't be discharged through bankruptcy.
Oww, come on, why stop at 4 storeys?

16 will be 4 times that.

My note was not about "opportunity cost", it was about the (extremely high) "rent" that a parking space at 5 US$/hour represents compared to its cost.

If you buy a 50-55 sqm apartment/flat/living unit in Copenhagen, you spend roughly 400,000 $, you can possibly rent it for 5%/year, i.e. around 20,000 $/year.

If you can manage to extort 5 $ /hour (for 12 hours/day) for a parking space which is 1/4th of area (and is not a building) you get more or less the same.
When you put the count like this, it gives you perspective. Do you have a source for this?
Comparing the entire flu population during completely unlimited movement to COVID in a healthier group during restricted movement is fraudulent and you should be ashamed of yourself and your propaganda.

Let’s talk about a non-politically charged example. Take the famous Zalgo post on SO https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open...

where the moderators left the content up because of its fame but added a comment at the top. SO is full of posts like this that have external significance but normally wouldn’t be allowed.

I honestly don’t see anything wrong with Twitter saying “hey we think it’s important for the president’s words to stay up but we want to be clear that they wouldn’t normally and here’s why.”
This was a good post. I particularly like:

> I will suggest that repeating all the things you believe about how life is supposed to work will not magically make them true and thereby fix your problems.

I recently realized I would frame some of my wants/desires as “I just want $x.” There is no natural order of fairness and by shifting my internal phrasing to “I want $x,” it helped shift my mental model to what concrete actions I need to take instead of a complaint.

And back to the main content of the post. Yes, most people are living on an edge they can’t see that could upturn their whole apple cart of world views and expectations. Growing up poor and now being well off, I have an expectation in the back of my head that this is all temporary and can be lost at anytime. It affects how you approach many, many things.
>>But the contempt the working and middle classes have for the poor is something I'll never understand.

Really? Should be fairly easy to understand, for a Middle Class Family that is living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to save for retirement, the kids collage fund, maybe help pay for a aging parent, save for home repair, and provide daily expenses seeing a good chunk of their earnings being stolen errr "taxed" away from them, money that they could use to provide for their own needs is a large part of it.
My field barely use C++, so i wonder : do people still have the feeling that "C++" is not going anywhere, or is it just C that's unavoidable ?

I feel like except maybe in complex video-game engines, C++ is slowly but surely getting replaced by more adapted languages.
Duh, you'd think I could spell 'Giovanni' correctly by now. Bloody predictive spelling on smartphones is a curse.

This is not surprising. On Twitter there is a strong cancel culture to irrationally oppose anything that fails to unquestioningly accept “wokeness” narratives. Critical thinking and evaluation of evidence is not really permitted. Twitter is more about trying to look (publicly) like you affiliate with this or that celebrity, so the regular person can feel some sense of patronage to their chosen circle of intellectuals or artists. It has no connection to objective appraisal of evidence. It’s more tribal. It’s “Team Timnit” (all the details supporting wokeness narratives are believed, all details supporting Google taking an appropriate action are heresy) or “Team Google” and you feel the opposite.

The James Damore episode is another example. It is essentially 100% equivalent to what Timnit has done in this chain of events, but in that case the “wokeness” bloc on Twitter called for Damore’s firing and railed against his perspective - virtually a complete double standard compared to how they view Timnit’s behavior.

By the mostly anonymous nature of Hacker News, and the removal of any type of social credit for patronage of different ideologues, the commentary here is able to be much more nuanced and try to really account for a much greater variety of facts or perspectives.

I'm not sure I see the point of building a complex platform with governance and whatnot. What I want is an easy way to publish my projects and for other people to contribute, I need something more like email (independent, self-hosted servers with a well defined protocol to communicate between them) than Facebook.

I don't care about the governance of my git remote, or getting money out of it. I care about it being reliable, fast and simple. If I'm unhappy with it I want to be easily able to switch to a different host, or create my own.

Frankly I would be perfectly fine with the current situation where you have a bunch of effectively centralized code hosting solutions (github, gitlab, bitbucket etc...) if you could trivially move your project from one to an other. For the code it's easy, git is built that way. For issues, PRs and the like it's trickier.

For me that's the problem that needs solving, I don't need an ultra complicated blockchain-powered solution where people can vote for the font of the UI with cryptotokens.

At a glance, and if I understand it correctly, Radicle seems more pragmatic in that way. Cryptocurrency is used for donation and securing entries in the global namespace in a decentralized way, the rest is just a bunch of standalone servers. Then you can decide to host your code on an existing instance or spawn your own. A bit like how Mastodon works for instance.
They certainly collaborate to keep rent high, its known that property developers in the US don't rent out property in manhattan to keep prices high. Why would they want to solve homelessness? They're motivated by profit in their role at the institution.

Code is not there to be written but to be read. I don’t see how this improves readability and hence I fail to see how it adds any benefit.

And since the labels that Twitter, Insta, TikTok, YouTube are adding to political content basically amount to “don’t assume this what you see on the internet true, here’s a link to official resources” it’s hard to argue they’re suddenly endorsing content.
The experts are full of it if they say they’ll never return to normal. This is akin to saying “I’m never drinking again” after waking up with a hangover. Humans are programmed to quickly forget rare or non-recurring negative stimuli. It’s called fear extinction, and it does its job very well to keep us taking risks and seeking reward.

I've been writing C++ since 1990. I make a good living from a little C++ app (500KLOC) that sells in fifty countries. I love the ultra-static typing. It's saved my bacon many a times.

Long ago "modern" C++ crossed into a territory that I will never understand or use. STL is the fanciest stuff I write. Code needs to be maintainable. If I have to hire geniuses to collaborate on my code, that's not going to be cost-effective. So I use a conservative subset, and thank my lucky stars I don't need to pay attention to the latest exotica.
I do the same, along with longer variable names. Every time I went back to look at old code, I am so grateful that I used the more descriptive information.

The average American might make 60k; the average person makes more like 2. The billionaire also doesn’t have an income of a billion a year, he has an accumulated net worth of a billion. Median wealth is measured in thousands of dollars. And the numbers on the left half of that distribution are very low indeed.

But anyway, whether it’s a billion times more or merely a million times more, the difference is still staggeringly huge.

If you have a dollar, how many more do you need to make a billion? About a billion.

If you have a million dollars, how many more do you need to make a billion? About a billion.

This is true for classical ML, but unfortunately it does not hold very well for hard problems. The reason is that GPT-3 at al. are meant as multipurpose pretrained models their size is their strength in that they can model highly complex datasets.

In my opinion the right approach to downsizing is to train at full size and then either distill or prune the model to keep the parts that are relevant to your problem.
Yea, most cities don’t because they are small, but most people have access to these mode shares because more people live in large cities than small cities
Yes, that was the point with the balkanisation bit. There's no grey area for debate as the echo-chambers polarise discussion.
Hence the real issue- how to persuade people to see news etc outside their usual fare. This could be simply a random post of the day on their feed, to a 'you may like' or 'the other side' on a post.

Far from being academic, webs of trust have existed since the dawn of time, for example marriage with other tribes to strengthen trust. On the web, twitter retweets are a loose example in that people retreat what they find useful, building trust between users over repeated retweets.

I don't know the answer to this btw but the current institutions don't appear to be enough, from potentially influenced elections and referenda, to trying to silence whistleblowers (Assange, Whitehouse leaks etc)

Isolating the issue though ie. Being able to verify optionally signed posts goes some way towards building better Web. Curated posts by Facebook have no indication of agenda or veracity, same as for most of twitter.

Something like Radicle or Spritely might be the way forward, more research needed :)

Yeah but that’s honorless and if I ever find out you’re going to lose respect and credibility.
Not the OP, but you should also be reminded that many of these limitations are brought out by cost-cutting measures that we didn't have control of and could be used to fire us immediately, and even when IPv6 is implemented most IoT backend servers only operate over IPv4 anyway. Another one that you might be angry about is only including 2.4GHz-band WiFi even though 5GHz WiFi is already ubiquitous (although only including 5GHz WiFi is much more questionable ;).
> Of 23 activities of daily life that the survey asked about, there were only three that the majority of respondents had done in the last month: gathering outdoors with friends; bringing in mail without precautions; and running errands, like going to the grocery store or pharmacy.

> Almost none said they had attended a sporting event, play or concert; met up with someone they didn’t know well; or attended a wedding or funeral.

Unemployement is something different, you can't compare apples to oranges. Nobody is paying for getting unemployment, you're not eligible at worst.

There are dozens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of people paying for universities in the European countries with public schools (most of paying students are of second/third-world background in a country that is acting passively aggressively to them because of their non-resident/non-citizen status [that causes issues e. g. with banking services], btw), and many of them in Sweden, that's why I feel the statement is false. Also note that I'm not judging, merely stating a fact; I don't see anything wrong with both funding approaches, and think they should be combined (like in Czechia).
The Rocket paper [0] for time serie classification works along those lines. They use a linear classifier on top of an ensemble of random convolutions.

because this hasn't ever had any negative effect on him or on the people which he represents. Bonus points for him being "revered" for being an excellent engineer (which I bet he his), so small chances of any humility coming back from him.

If this looks like a "calling out names" post that's because it is such a post, people who hold power (in this case Dean) in this type of situations and who use it contrary to society's needs (which demands more inclusiveness, less social friction) need to be called out.
I could see Apple potentially licensing the design (minus IP critical to their MacOS workstation offering like the GPU or neural engine), to a big cloud provider, if the cloud provider does the heavy lifting on the Linux port (something Apple isn’t publicly talking about) you could see this become a big deal overnight.
No, they just see it as a societal problem instead of a personal one.

If everybody saw it that way, we'd probably be closer to Taiwan than the shit show we are running. At least another 200,000 deaths are more or less built into the current US situation (but it will probably be worse than that). That it isn't slaughtering younger people doesn't really offset that.
That’s not the same. You’re talking about copying the data locally, but this still doesn’t let you create issues for eg. offline.
We just got a raspberrypi 400 in the mail yesterday to use is a media center pc. From what I understand reading things, Netflix will only work on 32bit because ChromeOS is 32 bit and they steal the Widevine blob out of ChromeOS to make Netflix and Amazon Prime work.

The other kind of lame consequence of that is I have to use Chromium rather than Firefox, which irks me just a little.

Other than that, the RaspberryPi 400 is a really nicely put together little machine.
The problem with Housing First, like with any Welfare program, it abuse. Housing First programs are ripe for abuse and are abused.

While yes it is cheaper in some ways, the problem is people will be less likely to be creative or lean on personal support networks (i.e couch surfing, live with family, etc) if the government through the taxpayer will just hand you a key to an apartment no questions asked....

There were a couple of times we were technically homeless as a child, I slept many nights on the floor of my grandparents home, or an uncle, etc. so I am not unsympathetic to being in this condition. However I also do not believe government handouts are a solution to the problem

I believe in Handups, but not handouts.

C++ is a sh-t, bloated, clusterf*ck of a language. No need to get into nuance, and finesse, and hum and haw.

Life is moving fast, and super-busy. There are serious and interesting problems in CS that need to tackled, and need to be tackled with full focus.

Mastering C++, so you could implement an iota of a feature in a couple days that would take five minutes for a python or js programmer, is not one of them.
Which tablet are you using?
No I think you're right, but this is fine. There may be instances where you don't want to handle every possible data type and other values should result in a no-op.

If you want full coverage then visitation guarantee that statically. Multi-visitation over m variants each with N possible types also does this statically with N^m instantiations. This balloons quickly, which is why I mentioned yomm2, which can add these handlers dynamically at runtime for polymorphic types.
