Perhaps, and taking a normal OTC dose of vitamin D might be prudent. My argument here is exclusively with regards to encouraging people to self-medicate at higher-than-OTC doses when they don't even know that they need such a dose in the first place. Encouraging people to pop 10x 5,000 IU pills seems like a recipe for disaster.

Does this mean that zig doesn't support varargs? If not, why not?

To each their own. The only sources on it cited in the Wikipedia article are from the Harvard Crimson student newspaper and a book on Lettvin. Seems as if it was influential in the debate around drugs that it would be in multiple established newspapers or books about drug legalization.

I guess I'm just skeptical of the notable or impactful nature of this at all.
Except the citation doesn't really argue that technical debt killed Netscape, but rather that it was killed by a rewrite from scratch - the article ends:

> If you are writing code experimentally, you may want to rip up the function you wrote last week when you think of a better algorithm. That’s fine. You may want to refactor a class to make it easier to use. That’s fine, too. But throwing away the whole program is a dangerous folly, and if Netscape actually had some adult supervision with software industry experience, they might not have shot themselves in the foot so badly.

I came to say that this will probably make our fan constantly spin until I saw that this is already in the TODO list of the project.

Every client side feature such as background blur or face detection will make my (or every other person's I know) fans spin constantly so I will never use that feature.

I don't know if there's a potential software way to solve this problem or do we have to wait until everyone's using an m2 or i8 cpu?

Zig does not support varargs, except when calling C functions.
> As far as I am aware, America hasn't had a legally declared war since WWII,

This is true under the “magic words” understanding of the power to declare war; but that more limited authorizations than those that simply and expressly “declare war” are nevertheless exercises of the Constitutional power to declare war and create a legal state of war is, however, well-established law, see, Bas v. Tingy, 4 U.S. 37 (1800).

That's one reason for the checkpoint feature, yes, but there are others. A few years back (Dory-era), I participated in a talk at SIGGRAPH '15 about some of them:

There could still be survivorship bias, e.g. the people who don't die from smoking have stronger lungs, and aren't affected as much by covid.

Yes, but how are we accounting for the cases where T1 already makes the right call?

The reality is that we don’t hear about it unless if we have a situation like this.

So I’m not sure how we can draw any conclusions re: Apple vs Indie devs and the whole Goliath vs David aspect of this.
1) fully remote now, after first lockdown I only went in when I wanted (a day or two a week)

2) about 30 minutes of brisk walk

3) No major changes, I worked outside of the offices for most of last 10 years. Lack of hiking hurted me far more

4) Pros: I enjoy quiet of my home vs. noise of the office Cons: people are not good at communicating. I enjoy async-remote more than replicating everything that happened in the office.

5) Nope

6) I hope for the sake of non-tech people offices will be back. Most of people I work with live in small spaces and have small kids. I also enjoy quick back and forth face to face meeting and webcams can not replace that for me.

Ask HN: Was ES6 a Bust?
I been doing a lot of code reading in the front end land the last few weeks and I’ve noticed that much of not nearly all of the features of ES2016/ES2015 are hardly used.

From what I’ve seen, even in big code bases like react, I only notice the the following:

- Classes

- Class Properties

- Promises

- A few object methods (entries, values, keys)

- Arrow functions

- async functions

I see very little code, even in new projects, big or small, where any of the newer features are leveraged. Even things like Map and Set have sparse usage, despite their efficiency on modern JS engines. For instance I still quite commonly see code that is meant as value stores implemented as objects instead of a Map, even though Map has better performance in high deletion/write scenarios (if I recall correctly due to not touching the prototype chain)

My favorite example being something like the redux state tree, which could be much more efficiently implemented with combo of Proxy + Map rather than a single mutated object.

Proxy, Reflect, WeakMap and Weakset are non existent even more . The JS community definitely didn’t embrace custom iterators or generators, and symbol never seemed to have taken off as a way to provide library specific code extensions or properties

I know Vue 3 leverages Proxies now but it’s not something I see much of in the wild otherwise

Seems the advanced programming concepts and promises of ES6 are languishing. It’s still all objects and arrays and mostly still coded like in the ES5 era while leveraging mostly syntactic sugar rather than new features outright despite higher efficiencies

I will say the limited Set API is rather annoying (you either have to convey it to an array or iterate over it to get a value out), other than that I don’t think the design of the newer features is harder to adopt, in a lot of cases I have found it’s easier

Has this been anyone else’s experience?

Edit: I speaking of new code or code that is generally being significantly re-written, or code being refactored that could benefit here. What I’m looking at is code written after ES6 was widely known and available
That's probably highly dependent on the details of your life.

I had no phone at all for over a year while homeless. I don't recommend that as a method, but having lived that way, I don't seem to have the same relationship to my phone that a lot of people have and I mostly can't relate to complaints that it's "addictive" and what not.
I think it depends a lot on the juniors. I’ve seen some really terrible code written by experienced people who just didn’t hone their craft, and some juniors who figured out some good practices very early on
This was certainly unexpected.
Ada/Spark is more about mathematically proving that your program works. Rust is more about that your program won't trample memory and won't crash.

That said, Rust seems to have reasonably good performance compared to C/C++. Also the concept of lifetimes is interesting too.

Just because your program compiles in C++/Ada(no-spark)/C/Java/Rust doesn't mean it's correct. If it compiles in Rust, the compiler is telling you it's memory safe and thread safe.
> All I'm seeing is this statement which is factually correct: 50,000 IU dosages aren’t really available by prescription only when 5,000 IU pills are OTC.

I think it was probably intended to be somewhat humorous, and yes, it's technically correct. However, it makes little sense if taken as factual rather than humorous: you shouldn't be exceeding the OTC dosage unless you know you need to; you can't know you need to exceed the OTC dosage unless you are tested; if you're tested, you're eligible for a prescription to get it cheaper anyway.

> I'm not sure why you seem to feel so compelled to argue so strenuously that everyone here is missing some important details about how the poorest of the poor live in the US.

Money is only one factor, and I think that's something people on HN tend to forget.

> I'm not sure why you seem to feel so compelled to argue so strenuously that everyone here is missing some important details about how the poorest of the poor live in the US.

I should clarify that this is largely anecdotal. I only know a handful of people who have been in these situations. I wouldn't even say they're the poorest of the poor: there are often other factors at play, be it mental disorders, language barriers, or a combination thereof.

> I also think HN is fairly well informed these days overall on such topics because they put up with me being openly homeless for nearly six years and I still sometimes write about that and sometimes hit the front page on such topics. So the crowd here isn't generally all "la la la, not listening."

I would agree; it's certainly one of the better communities in that regard.

> This just seems honestly not relevant to the discussion, at least not in the way it is being approached.

Quite possibly, especially considering that the ancestor was probably joking. Still, I can't help but cringe at the thought of someone I care about hearing that the solution to their COVID troubles is to waltz into the nearest pharmacy, spend their food money on a bottle of vitamin D, and down 10 of them at once.
https://next-episode.net is a service I run for more than 15 years now.

It's a TV / Movies tracking website/community that helps people organize what they watch and find new shows to watch.

I started it for myself (because I couldn't find such tool back in the day) while I was working as a front end developer in an outsourcing company and it slowly grew and became my (only) day job.

There is a lot to do in terms of user support and constant maintenance and development (considering also the iOS and Android apps), but I've made the conscious decision to stay a sole developer and not try and hire people to help. For me - I feel this works great even though I realize I may be missing a lot by not trying to scale up by hiring.

Hope that makes sense.

I'm around if anyone has any questions.
Sadly that fun story was mostly discredited

I had to start taking immunosuppressants earlier this year, and after reading up on it I've convinced myself that it's an effective treatment for severe covid. As it happened, I essentially had a severe covid experience, but for auto-immune/ideopathic reasons. It's like my body had 2020 FOMO.
What syntax would be the default?
All diseases cause inflammation, it's the bodies basic response to everything, like cuts and whatnot. That said, this may also be why they figured out certain steroids helped COVID patients by reducing this hyper reaction. I rememebr reading some steroids became a frontline treatment at some point mid way through the year at certain medical centers.

But any pathologist would have known immediately about the risks of inflammation and that being the auto-response. It would have been evaluated is what I'm assuming.

I have colitis which similarly causes artificial immune response in the digestive tract and they used steroids to help reduce the inflammation which was causing other serious problems in my body. But only during a very serious episode. Other lighter approaches are available to keep it under control.

Note: I'm not a medical expert at all and could be talking out of my ass. Just basing this on personal experience and some personal reading into pathology.
Not sure who you mean when you say "stakeholders". But if you mean CEO / the board or other (non-technical) departments/teams, then I don't think the is a good idea.

Your CEO (or whatever stakeholder you mean) should not care about _how_ you work, they should trust you to do the right thing and enable you to do so. They should also give you feedback and correct your course, but only in terms of what you work on and with what priority. They should not care how you do it.

In the same way your lawyer does not tell you what kind of legal internal documentation they do and if they go to court X or Y to ask for something, you should not tell that to your stakeholders. You tell them only high level things that are relevant. Tech debt is not one of them, progress and estimated dates is one. And just like how the lawyer recommends you a certain path, you should recommend one to your stakeholder. E.g.: "Yes we can build this feature, but we could also build this other feature, which is almost as good and takes half the time. I suggest to do it this way".

> I think by talking explicitly about tech debt you can get the non-technical stakeholders on board. (It helps I think of you were warning them about tech debt when you were taking it on, too, and not just starting to educate when it comes time to pay back.)

Let's say you are in the position to do so and they trust you. Do you think it is productive to "warn" them? Let's be honest: even for developers it is very hard to understand the direct and indirect impacts of tech debt. And that is even though they can directly experience the effects. How difficult do you think is it for people for whom this is just an abstract term?

TLDR: I think it is easier for you to understand the business goals and make a technical decision than it is to make business people understand the technical constraints and educate them well enough to take the right decision.

Indeed, I apologize--I certainly did get carried away with a hypothetical. The mere thought of someone actually going out and doing that triggered all kinds of panic.
This is really poorly conveyed. Apparently when you appeal they are supposed to stop the clock, but we (iSH) were certainly not told that and we hear that this is the norm with many apps in this process. I don’t know if this is supposed to fuel compliance in desperation or what, but apps that have strong cases are just going to run the the press. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Apple is trying to improve here…
I have a stored parameter "n" that just increments the number of irritations of PBKDF2. That's a lot less to deal with than the amount of state in a traditional password manager, and I'm much less worried about losing it since it's likely I can estimate n for most sites even if I don't have it with me.

I think you are just reading in something that wasn't intended. That's not at all uncommon. HN is somewhat prone to being more literal than a lot of people expect other people to be.

Anyway, in the interest of not putting more focus on this, I don't intend to reply further.
That is a terrible analogy. A. Consuming alochol is a choice. And B. Alcohol is not a normal part of human biology, pathogens are. Someone being sick let alone for a virus with a 99.9% survival rate is not justification for removing their freedom. NO ONE has the right to do that. These are the same authoritarian groups who have made it legal to knowingly infect someone with HIV. So which one is it? My entire family just got Covid over the last 2 weeks. And they're all FINE. I specifically went over on Christmas to get infected and get it over with if I did not already have it. That's how much I'm not scared of this virus. Your fear does not mean you get to erode my rights. And the Governor who put infected patients into elderly homes with the actual vulnerable population and killed more people than died on 9/11, sure as hell does not have the right to remove my or your freedom for his dictator urges.
Not really. It's a quite expensive car for the French market.
I don't think it's a "counter-anecdote". It worked DESPITE of the junior, not because of him.

The startup I'm currently working for has the same story. A junior wrote most of the code, but we got hired at the first round. It will take months to solve the spaghetti, but it might work, but I'm very experienced handling even huge and terrible code bases (300-500 thousand of lines of legacy code).
Wind is dynamic generation - that means there is a likelihood within the system where there is a backup generation when wind is not blowing. I am not expert, but the way Grid works, you cannot simply pick the wind farm, you have to have a systems view of the wind farm and how its back-up (likely NG generator) interact as a whole and does wind blow during the high demand etc. Wind at right places is excellent but outside of those geographic areas its a dead end. Also, windy places tend to be farther from where the demand is and you have to include transmission related expenditure. I think 500 mile distance is more or less rule of thumb considered not good, economically or environmentally.

A metaphor if I may engage, is you cannot get a six pack with pure calorie counting, you have to have a bit more sophisticated system in nutrition and work outs for that. Same thing applies for The Grid, a wind mill of same specification at two different locations will give different yields, at different time of day and have completely different effect on system as a whole.
Well to be fair the 2020 end of life date was announced almost a decade ago. That said, I know that fortune 500 companies that used 2.7 to develop new code in 2017 -- which was a mistake -- mostly because they were tied to old version of RHEL and they were too lazy to try to get Python 3 to work on an old version of RHEL.

So 2020 rolled around and the pypi libraries they were using were no longer supported even though RHEL would support python 2.7. So yeah, it was a really bad experience for everyone involved.
It is, but the appeal process is quite opaque and uncertain: after all, you’re asking the same people that rejected your app. And with no clear SLA and an apparent deadline, it’s pretty difficult to deal with.
I switched from Caffeine to Amphetamine many years ago because Caffeine wasn't updated and had issues working on newer OS X releases. Amphetamine provides the option to use the same coffee cup logo from Caffeine in the menu bar, which I use.

I read an essay talking about another field where the authors conclusions apply to nuclear vs wind and solar.

He participated in research on low cost rocket designs. His take away was the actual design wasn't as important as building more rockets rather than less.

With solar you make panels by the 100 million. Wind turbines by the tens of thousand. Nuclear by the low digits. Per year.
All developers guarantee a return of at least $100/year.
This is the developer version of the "gig economy". You're not an employee and don't have rights - indeed, you have to pay to be a developer! As in the gig economy, your income depends on ratings and your livelihood can be terminated by automated system.

Sure, but isn't that exactly what we would be trying to treat? I would like to believe in hallucinogenic therapy, but if it can cause an underlying problem to expand to the point where it causes a negative change in behavior, that's not good. It would certainly depend on the risk, but having a risk of triggering a mental illness the person was previously coping with is not a good thing.

Finding a way to deal with your problems is the best solution. In lieu of that, I would argue coping with them without handling them is the second best, with neither handling them not coping them being a distant last place.
The problem with history is that it is always written by the side of the victors. Hence, you get a very biased viewpoint of historical events.

I have no judgement of the Germans here, but I would wager, that the British have not been good citizens of humanity.

The British have caused more suffering, deaths, and misery, either direct, or indirect, because of their actions around the world for the past 500 years.

I believe it was the Germans, that finally brought balance to The Force, and knocked the British off their high horse. And for that, I believe the rest of the world owes the Germans a huge debt of gratitude. But bury that Aryan supremacy bullshit, because that was rather annoying.
