Forgive me, this was not my intent. Since the election campaign of your former president, the impression that has gotten broadcast outside of the US has looked bleak. In combination, I've read quite a few stories from HN with similar subjects as OP, so my question was one of curiosity, just very poorly phrased. I apologize.
That’s fine.

I’ll feel safer flying their airline due to my perceptions about Boeing and that makes their business incrementally more likely to survive.

They know this, too, so I would not be surprised they want customers aware, regardless of any other underlying financial reasons.

By making customers aware of this as though it’s more of a safety thing than you believe it is, even if you’re right, which you probably are, everyone wins. Well, everything except Boeing. Too bad the article didn’t do that.

If anything the article bent over backwards way too far to assiduously avoid mentioning the safety issue at all, when it perfectly well could have since it is so glaring, so I don’t see what your concern is.

> putting the 737 Max in the headline produces exactly the wrong impression.

Perhaps you did not glance beyond the headline and fell victim to your own well-justified negative preconceptions about the Max.
Agree Social media platforms gotten more powerful than necessary.
Also Saying new laws are suppressing freedom of speech is not enough , for sake of valid argument one must point out which clause/sub clause of the said law mentions this suppression.
Yes. But any data format you read, particularly any plaintext data format you read, is essentially interpreting or compiling a DSL. On a typical job, people are writing compilers much more often than they think!

It won‘t. Symmetric ciphers are holding up just fine against quantum computers.

Key exchanges would be annoying, but they are even more so for one-time pads.

But it will never come to even that: There are plenty quantum-safe asymmetric cryptosystems around.
Don't overlook https://www.bigfishgames.com/us/en.html . I remember a comment on HN years ago pointing out that there seems to be virtually no awareness of Big Fish in places you might expect, like computer game journalism or computer enthusiast forums, despite the fact that they essentially fill the market niche of "Steam for women".
It also takes time to ensure the feature is developed for all platforms. Due to low usage you may not bother developing for that platform. Thus feature in one platform lag other.

I worked for a company where we did iOS release after very 3 android release coz android was 80% users and iOS 20%. Mind you this was a cross platform Iconic/Cordova app. Now think if we did native. iOS users would have to wait even longer
SQLite I can grant you, but I'm starting to get a bit worried about certain XML parser popular in C/C++ land. Might do a swing at it with a profiler later today.

Hi, level 1 and 2 looks really cool, but I may not understand the point of only having these languages “running” on a computer? Both 2 and 3 are interpreted and the interpreter is the area you want to minimize?

What about a program written in 3 that can compile to either 1 or 2? Why would it hurt anything to have a different language somehow made possible to run here?

I'm not sure what you mean, the entire point of technical documentation is that it explains a technical subject, that is the definition of the phrase. You could add other things but then it stops being just that.
Yes, the visual polish is what I mean. It's not rocket science to style UIButton, but the lack of a good default style means that mediocre native apps often have weird/inconsistent highlighted button states, and so on.
FWIW, regardless of the origins, “poor taste” always seemed to be a more minor condemnation than that when I have witnessed it — things from Frankie Boyle’s standup or Trump’s interior design preferences to the UK Queen announcing austerity while wearing (and sitting on) the royal bling; never

Feature set doesn’t really depend on the API, FreeBSD implements all that functionality despite using OSS.
The reward system of my brain wants me to write clever code to solve the "core" problem. The remaining 80-99.999% (depending on the environment) of the code - authentication & authorization, logging, parsing, I/O, ensuring that the program is "well behaved" - all that is perceived as "boring", "boilerplate", "glue code", which results in churning out code that is not thought through.

So yes, that code probably contains some bugs from the "stupid if you think about it for a second" category.

The problem is that you can't "know your audience" when the audience is infinite. Someone somewhere is going to be offended by a joke or Easter egg.

Interesting. I guess the "be professional" army won. I wonder if they imagined the shock troops of social justice would have been the ones to bring about the sanitization of dev docs.
On the point about AWS, there are settings in your account to prevent that happening - whoever is managing it may have set the log out time a bit low.
In hindsight, I shouldn't have posted this in an emotional state (OP post moved me, first child on the way). I realize now how inflammatory those statements where, I am just having a hard time understanding how such events can be brushed off.

Thank you, I will stick to those type of posts in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I don't know very many people in this world who would call this past year one of their best. This false bravado barely masking the petulance from being called out publicly is really not a good look for you. Maybe your god-emperor can pull off deflecting his own failures in this manner, but you surely cannot.
No, that's chauvinism. Chinese is not a race. Specifically members of the chinese government are not a race.
It is a general term for the process of breaking a string into "tokens" which have a sort of meaning. Definitely a common task in compilers, but not limited to it.
Oh yeah I think you did find a bug, thanks for pointing it out! I need to check the lengths as well. It shouldn't affect the conclusion (in fact I think I made all comparisons equal-length in the paper?) but I should revise it when I get the chance.
How to Contribute a Story to Thenexthint.com?
May not be the best out there, but it's incredibly productive, and easy to read (IMO).

Because it's so damn productive, going back to more rigorous languages just doesn't feel as fun, I guess? Writing lengthy boilerplate just sucks out all enjoyment of coding, even though it might benefit your project in the long run.
FWIW I'm also worried about politicians doing power grabs (more than lone extremists), and agree fear of extremism can end up being exploited as a political tool.

In the medium term I'm most worried about people losing faith in our institutions and their own party, and looking for one person to trust to reset the system unchecked by either of those. The inter-party power dynamics and confidence in institutions seems to have collapsed much more in one faction than the other, so I see the risks as asymmetric. I'm open to the idea that I'm thinking about this wrong though.

Didn't downvote you BTW.

You are setting up the experiment as if we took one guy and decided to follow him for 6 years to see if he could beat the market.

Instead a reporter found one out of a couple of million investors who did well the last 6 years and decided to interview him.

Because as you put it, >"The measure I would apply is whether middle class people can live in the city", there are cities in Austria that are much cheaper for the middle class, as I said in the original post.

The fact that there are cities in Germany, or in any other country, that are even more expensive is irrelevant for the people here.
Pipedrive | Junior Engineers | Prague, Lisbon, Tallinn | ONSITE

Pipedrive is a SaaS visual sales tool for small to medium businesses. We’ve been backed with $90 million in funding since 2010 and are experiencing rapid growth. Our team is now located in five countries, building the sales tool used by over 85,000 companies.

I am very happy with the maturity of the process here and the autonomy our team is having. We are getting a lot of support from the company while still being able to innovate and fully own our part of the product.

I am looking for junior engineers to join my platform team. This is a unique opportunity to work in a highly technical team and solving some of the most challenging backend problems we have.

Our stack is mainly TypeScript, Node.js, React, Docker, MySQL, Elastic, ... We expect some experience with that but the main thing is the cultural fit. We are looking for team players.

Please ping me an email at jakub.kadlubiec@pipedrive.com if you want me to refer you or if you want to learn more about the company. Please include the location where you'd like to work from (no remote). I am an engineering manager not a recruiter.
This is extremely implausible. Files (the non descript name for official records) are extremely hard to destroy even if you want to. Everything about the B2 is in a special TS compartment and will likely be retained until long after we are dust.
And he's not arguing whether the joke is funny, he's saying the joke is relevant.

The content of your joke isn't as relevant (which also makes it less funny). You used an anti-science sentiment and threw in ECS to try to make it more suitable, but it isn't analogous with the original statement at all.

How exactly do you think a cynical take on something that occurs widely in the industry is equivalent to conspiracy theory level science denialism?

I always though that code with UB is wrong, and UB allows implementation to deal with it on its own way (it is allowed to ignore it, stop program, corrupt memory, delete hard drive contents...).

So if your code has UB then it is wrong, one thing not specified in standard is exact consequences of that.

(yes, in some hacks one may rely on UB behaving in some way in some circumstances - it will be hack)

The premise of the original simulator was to show how (reasonably shaped) icebergs actually float. This one adds melting and says: "his new code actually takes material away from the surface of the iceberg in a uniform way. It works more like you would expect melting ice to behave." But this is not how I would expect a melting iceberg to behave at all, and I'm fairly sure that -- unlike the floating part -- this is not now icebergs actually melt.

There is no reason to believe that the air and the water around the iceberg are the same temperature or otherwise in a state where melting would be completely uniform. This changes a somewhat scientific simulation into an unscientific toy.

Very interesting - thanks.

You'd still have to crack each password individually though, right? i.e. for row 1 I would need to try X passwords from my password dictionary, and for each of the attempts bcrypt the guess with the given salt and check to see if worked, and then repeat that for each row individually, rather than checking every row simultaneously.
the correct answer

the people in the article identified a market and took a risk to tackle it and have success in it, others did not. their experience in understanding the market is likely because of their background. other organizations could benefit from the same thing with inclusion that ignored pedigree, which literally means elevating people to decision making roles that have unfamiliar backgrounds and unfamiliar experience (this is in addition to underrepresented people that do have familiar backgrounds and experience), yes, the worst nightmare for some of you all. corporations are about addressing a market, not placating its employees.

Well said.

I've had a lot of conversations with javascript engineers over the years who've argued to me that well tuned JS will be nearly as fast as the equivalent C code. I've written plenty of little toy benchmarks over the years, and in my experience they're partly right. Well written JS code in V8 can certainly run fast - sometimes around half the speed of C code. But a massive performance gap opens up when you use nontrivial data structures. Nested fields, non-uniform arrays, trees, and so on will all cripple javascript's performance when compared to C's equivalent of simple embedded nested structs. If you couple clean C data structures with allocation-free hot paths from arenas, the performance of C will easily hit 10-20x the performance of the equivalent JS code.

From memory my plain text based operational transform code does ~800k transforms / second in javascript. The equivalent C code does 20M/second. The C implementation is about twice as many lines of code as the JS version though.

F# and F# tools update for Visual Studio 16.9
You'd be surprised. In the companies I worked for so far, it's usually my radar that bleeped over ridiculously inefficient code that was present for years in the codebase. That is, some developers would be aware something is off with performance, but they didn't bother to do anything about it. Hell, sometimes even management would know users complain about performance, but the feedback didn't percolate down to developers.

Sure, I get priorities and "good enough". But really, about half of the order-of-magnitude wins in performance I achieved were on things you could find and fix in few hours if you bothered to look. The other half tends to be unfortunate architectural decisions that may take a few days to fix, so I get why those don't get done.
Curious on people's actual experience in these stores ,also product quality.
The thing is, they are even worse for performance than string implementations that store the length.. that extra few bits of memory is much cheaper than checking the size of a string everywhere. For example, copying a string with known length.

Also, c++’s strings even do some clever hacking where they store the text itself for shorter strings in the pointer, barring a pointer lookup. And this is possible only because abstraction.
It’s impressive how similar these “let’s unpack this sweeite” people write on Twitter. Such an abhorrent monoculture of PMC who unsuccessfully try to fill their empty lives with meaning by doing weird social crusades.
OK, yes, you're right. I'm just intensely irritated by the language of the article - and this, despite the tools being already available (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26339038)! Sentences like: „...a remnant of a colonial, supremacist paradigm. The music is colonized in some way“

To me, that's the wrong itch to scratch. Instead of creating composition tools that celebrate their own culture, and push music in new directions, they're trying to hit back against a perceived injustice.
Short strings, long strings; they're going to use the same key length. Calculating the key may take longer for the long string, if you're basing the hash on the contents of the string[1], but the key won't end up being a different size. The md5 of a 3-byte string is 16 bytes and the md5 of a 40GB string is also 16 bytes.

[1] Not typical. e.g. Java takes the hash key of an object to be its address in memory, which doesn't require looking at the contents.
I'm not sure I follow your question, but the idea is that the computer the end user receives has a single opinionated language for programming it. Kinda like Basic for microcomputers. The end user is of course welcome to build their own languages. That is encouraged! But multiple languages make the computer more difficult for others to comprehend. My goal is to convince you that, all things being equal, a computer with fewer languages is in your best interest. Less code, fewer bugs, fewer security holes.

(Level 2 is not interpreted, it's compiled. Skipping level 2 would be totally in line with my principle above. But it would be more painful, I think. You'd basically be programming in machine code.)

No, the paper showed that use of a particular ecosystem default in c++ led to algorithmically worse performance then use of an ecosystem default in python.

You can always beat c if c happens to implement a bad enough algorithm and your n is large enough. That's no guarantee that the performance ∆ will continue to hold once the two language implement the same algorithm.
The reason that Taxes are complicated, is that the government wants them to be complicated. You can do without taxes (the government prints money, which is a tax on economic activity); or at a maximum print money + tax on big wealth accumulation which shouldn't affect the average guy.

The tax code is being used as a tool to funnel money through industries and as kickbacks to bureaucrats. A non-communist government can't force the population to do something (invest in this, build this, do that), but they can encourage/discourage it through taxes.

The tax code is not getting simpler any sooner.
I have a similar experience. Technical challenges are one thing and they can be interesting, but ethics is more important to me.

It was painful to observe that people from countries with difficult economies can spend so much money to hunt for pixels. This is their choice, of course, but at the same time it's a proactive work to keep them hooked.

Logan Paul: Underrated, Undervalued, Underloved
_Most_ capital is not put at "risk".
I would like to share a personal story regarding this, when I graduated I always wanted to work on video games, my expectation was that I would be making the next Call of Duty or StarCraft.

But I belong from a developing country, after I joined the biggest gaming studio, turns out they were making "gacha" games for a big Japanese gaming giant and some other freemium games for US audience.

One of the top grossing games was a Fish game, where people had virtual aquariums, they would need to buy fish eggs from real money, and take care of them till they hatched and grew up, you had to feed them everyday.

Every few days we would launch new expensive fishes, and the guy who used to make those sat few seats behind me, drawing fishes everyday, paid in pennies, and they would sell like hot-cakes.

There was a "feature" in our aquarium that if you didn't feed the fish on time, they would die and float above the aquarium in a gross manner. And our app was very buggy. So everyday we would get support calls from people who would complain that their fishes died even they fed them everyday.

The guy who did support calls sat next to me, and most of the calls were from lonely old American ladies, who would be literally crying on the phone, they even kept names of their "pets" and their untimely death hit them hard, whenever this happened, we immediately updated the "isAlive" field for their pets and they would spring back to life.

But all of this didn't sit well with me, I left soon after, and my skills for game development lended well to frontend development, now I use the JS framework of the week.
No, it doesn't "stop being that". You're going to have to provide some sort of justification for that statement.

There's "implementation-defined" behavior, and then there is "undefined behavior". I think you're conflating the two.
