I agree generally that if you can afford the cycles to serialize and deserialize from decimal ASCII ("0.2") that you can probably afford to use a decimal numeric type in your business logic.

Personally I blame the C standard for not splitting strtod in to 1 parsing function (returning an integer and the power of ten), and 1 computation/conversion function. Without this you're basically hosed with respect to locales.

How could we ensure EVs reduce global short term oil & gas drilling and consumption, instead of just just enabling additional car use on top of fossil powered cars?

Developing countries have car ownership numbers rising fast without western style EV subsidies, and it seems US gas guzzlers will stay in circulation for decades fed by cheap fuel there.

I used to be a pretty big user of Pocket myself! I think it works really nicely as a bookmarking tool meant for archiving and aggregating links / resources. I realized what I wanted was something to help me get through my reading queue / content.

I mostly made Q(ueue) to be focused around my reading experience, instead of my collecting experience. I wanted it to be really easy to find that next article (which is why it's based around a queue). The browser extensions were meant to make it super easy to add things or retrieve the next entry and just start reading.

> BTW, I found the layout of the website to be a bit confusing. Perhaps in the side-by-side portion, there should be some sort of divider?

Yea, I think the main page needs a bit of rework for simplification. I think the tab/toggle approach would be nice - let me see if I can add that in to make it nicer!

> Also, thanks for thinking of user privacy here. It definitely makes me more likely to use the services, and I think it was very clever of you to create a dummy account that HNers can use.

Thanks! I really dislike having to create accounts for apps too, so figured it'd make it easier for other people as well. There was another commenter that mentioned it would be easier to just allow local offline access. I think I'll try giving that a shot soon - the dummy account isn't too scalable / will get swamped with content too quickly in the long term anyway.

I like the "clean feel" of Ada's syntax: it combines the elegance of Python with a bit more structure and does not suffer from Python's significant whitespace issues.

The so-called "Ada comb" structure that is used for packages, subprograms, and even declare blocks makes it easy to find what you are looking for because it makes the source code more regular.

The "Ada comb" is formed by the shape of the source code with the subprogram header / declare, begin, exception, and end forming the "teeth" of the comb and the rest of the source code indented between the "teeth":

function Square_Root (Arg : Float) return Float is

-- local variables declared here

begin

-- program work here

exception

-- exception handling here

This is probably due to the fact that fish isn't 100% POSIX compliant. A lot of commands new users see on the web won't work properly in fish shell.

For example, you couldn't set environment variables for one command in fish like you could in other shells until the last minor version (3.1).

I'm glad fish is becoming more like other more standard shells while maintaining its user-friendliness.
The calls to sscanf() in the preceding post have been edited since xe wrote that. My guess is that xe meant the parameter now named "input".

> It'll just be too convenient to have a worldwide currency, and payment in that same currency.

I think if it were that convenient then we'd already have a worldwide currency. We don't because it really doesn't solve many problems and there are a lot of reasons states want control of their own currency.
The valid point is that the junk could be arbitrarily long, and that glibc's sscanf will scan through it in taking the length of the input.

But we are not continuing to scan into the junk here to get more tokens here; we don't have a loop that will cause O(N*N) behavior.

E.g. this could be user input from a form field where they are expected to type a date, and we want to reject that if there is trailing junk. At that point, the user gets an error, and has to fix the input. We don't look for anything in the trailing junk.
My grandmother mourns Picasa and PicasaWeb to this day.
Does it run OpenFirmware?
Exactly. It was, and is illogical to have a dual meaning.

Sticking with the first, widely-proliferated meaning we already had, which existed because of its usefulness, along with its direct honouring of the structure of what it was describing, is IMO the superior choice. This versus cementing the source of the confusion - the secondary meaning - even further by introducing it not only as an additional standard, but also as the de facto, nullifying years of text and understanding and rendering it inaccurate.

To me, that was, and is absolute madness.
You would probably love Clojure then. It is the language to deal with data maps and their manipulation.

I think those issues (apart from 3) are directly reflections on American society. People don't value better public transport and universal healthcare because they are seen as the antithesis of the "American dream" and the idea that working hard brings you wealth.

Unfortunnately we're not in the 1950s and the uncapped growth isn't a thing any more (outside of cryptocurrencies perhaps).

I expect things to probably get worse. It seems everyone is concentrating on social awareness like trying to get women and black people into more high paying jobs, which is a good thing. However this doesn't actually stop the poverty cycle for the other millions of people (including the aforementioned groups).

I think it requires reframing what social care and living in a society means for meaningful change to happen. I think people need to stop seeing wealth as some entrepreneurial thing they can mine for themselves. This "spirit" doesn't improve anyone else's lives, Apart from the select charities and issues they choose to support which aligns with their own social agenda.

I do believe a billionaire shouldn't exist. Or a half a billionaire. That kind of wealth doesn't solve any issues for real people. A wealth tax on the ultra wealthy to pay something towards a healthcare for all (like most western countries have already) might help people though.

Ural motorcycles are really the opposite, though- an example of the transfer of a technology that was very successful in the West. Yes, BMW iterated on the R71 and the R75 was more advanced than the M-72, but that technology didn't fail and neither was it superseded (at least not more abruptly than any other).

*Coming up: Senior Haskell Developer. Keep an eye on the above URL!*
I once read something that resonated with me (though I can't remember where), in essence that everyone has a default level of stress and anxiety that they feel (a "stress bubble" if you will), and it does not matter so much what your particular life situation is, you tend to fill up the "bubble" with whatever is going on in your life at the time. The idea is that you feel the same amount of stress as a teenager with your social issues as you do as a successful adult with more than enough money to live comfortably.

This really impacted me because I definitely came from a poor-ish background where I lived month to month and only thought about paying rent and whatnot. I then went to community college at 29 to give myself a chance at something else and then ended up making well into 6 figures having worked up to a director of a software company (unheard of in my social circle growing up).

At the time that I read this I remember feeling just as stressed about work things and family issues as I was when I didn't have health care and could barely pay my rent. Looking back, I remembered that I would feel just the same way about friend issues as a teenager when that was my whole world - something I would now scoff at as unimportant and incidental. It helped me realize that a lot of my stress levels were "baked in" to me - but that also meant I could affect my stress levels by being aware of my bubble.

Now when I am feeling stress about my financial portfolio or my kids getting proper education during the pandemic, I make a conscious effort to compare it to the helpless feeling I had when I made no money and felt powerless and that allows me to shrink my stress bubble. I also empathize much more with my kids and when they are stressing about something that my adult self realizes is not consequential. I remember that this is just them "filling their bubble" and to them it is just as important as the things I am dealing with. It also makes me appreciate those people who have a naturally small bubble and realize that that is also often a factor in their success (e.g., though I don't know Elon Musk, I can imagine that he has a naturally small stress bubble that allows him to drive so hard for success).

This is not to criticize you in any way, on the contrary, I agree with you 100%. But it is an empowering way of looking at your life.
