C++ is vast and diverse, but if you have interest in functional programming you may actually end up enjoying C++, since thanks to it's value types and it's imperfect albeit powerful type system (it's a bit like a compile-time dynamic typing, allowing interesting translation of Lispy patterns). I'm actually on a mission to build a solid ecosystem of functional and value-oriented tools for C++ and interactive software, some of which are used by big companies like Google:

https://github.com/arximboldi/lager

https://github.com/arximboldi/zug

Also, I very agree with what @jasode has said. C++ will be interesting for you if you can do interesting things in C++. That is the main reason I use it: there are certain domains where I work: professional music software, graphics, film, robotics, etc. where there are no solid alternatives (maybe Rust/Nim/Zig if you are very adventurous). This kind of software is actually really cool, it's creative and enhances artists's lives and does not live in magical "clouds" but runs on your machine. The language is imperfect and complicated but working in these domains is really cool and it makes the experience of taming the beast of C++ enjoyable :)

"A lot of spices are to cover the taste of bad ingredients" - Thats a very pretentious statement , i hear this from lot of stake guys. The use of spice is totally cultural, few do have medicinal value - the best example would be (Curcuma,Cinnamon etc) ..Some spices that are native to Asia/Africa make big difference in food flavors.You appreciate it when you grow up with it. I also understand why people appreciate meat without spices , it also involves which region the meat is from . From what i have experienced , the meat ( lamb) in Asia and Europe is totally different in texture. Its like fish , there is big difference between a lake fish, river fish and sea fish .

I see the booting process is quite complicated. Isn't ARM and PowerPC chip similar enough that many PowerPC linux can be ported over to use the M1 chip?

Who uses IPv6+zones and why?

I'm confused what zones are about. They don't seem to be part of IPv6 packets. Where do they come from? Why does IP type have to deal with them?
I would be very interested in reading about people’s experiences using machine translation—either text translation or spoken interpretation—in work-related contexts.

When the participants in a back-and-forth e-mail exchange, for example, do not share a common language and one or both use translation software to communicate, are they able accomplish what they need to do reasonably well? Or does the communication break down at some point?

Can live meetings be conducted successfully when one or more active participant uses MT interpretation? Or are there too many cases of faulty voice recognition and mistranslation for the meeting to proceed comfortably?

I ask because I have been thinking and writing for several years about the implications of improved machine translation for foreign-language education. I know how accurate, and inaccurate, MT can be at the sentence-by-sentence level, especially between Japanese and English, and researchers I know are starting to study how some language learners use MT. But it’s been hard to get a handle on the extent to which the software is actually used in real-life contexts.
Pedantically; it does, but you pay for it: https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/postgres-bdr-2ndqua...
That worries me when this sort of obsolescence is baked into devices that are meant to last long, like vehicles or appliances. I prefer when the short-lived stuff stays on a separate device.

The FT syndicates its content widely, and it can often be seen in titles such as Ars Technica. I have no idea whether the link is legit or not, except to say that it retained a link to the original FT source.

With paywalled content, I try to find a non-paywalled source by running a DDG search immediately after posting to add as a comment. I had not thought to examine this site's credentials. If your hunch is correct, the FT's lawyers are likely to take an interest; the company is proactive about such things.

As a teen, I used to do this regularly in some woods in northern MN. On a moonless night I could navigate by looking up to see the stars through the gap in the trees, indicating the trail. I had many interesting and wonderful experiences— once a flock of whistling swans flew over and I saw their silhouettes pass through over. Another time I a startled a deer (and vise-versa) only a few feet away and it let out a terrifying scream. Another time a flying squirrel landed on my face while I was standing still.
For those who wonder, the extract comes from https://github.com/mortdeus/legacy-cc/blob/ccbe90a2803e2cc7e...

IMO, it is close to Assembly:

* you reserve space and possibly set an original value with "hshsiz DB 100" or "paraml DB ?"

* assignment is a different business which involves a runtime instruction (MOV)

Hence the same difference (no = sign for the first, passive, compile-time operation; an = sign for the second, active, runtime operation) in this proto-C.

(Of course, this doesn't answer your question of "when" did the syntax of those 2 operation fuse :-) )
Exactly. Makes me wonder what happened with userscripts lately? Is that community still going? Are there any mechanisms - technological or social - that would let me feel safe about downloading a popular userscript without doing a full-day focused audit of it?

I know this can be made to work - modding communities are a perfect example, you can have people dealing with crap and unexpected breakage on a timely basis and releasing trustworthy, high-value code for free. I just feel it didn't happen with userscripts for some reason.

This sort of comment crops up every time an article like this comes on HN. No doubt often times parents bring their kids along for the ride but no one bats and eye when we talk about our youth and learning to program as a 14 year old or something, why be surprised an 18 year old has come up with such an idea based on basic chemistry?
Well the link I posted is older than your link from 2019 so I doubt that. The other direction may be possible.

However, enither are definitely not the first having ideas along these lines - structures and logic like this can also be found in Erlang supervisors after all.

And as for the quote, it is quite explicitly referring to Dijkstra and structured programming constructs in nonconcurrent settings.
Notice that the devolution of democracy into a "popularity contest" isn't a given: the French "Convention citoyenne pour le climat" proved that informed (and not propagandized) citizens can make rational political choices when given a chance.
>Everything has a different way to be closed or go back to the previous screen.

Very true. I moved from Android to iPhone few months ago and even through the current iPhone I use (iPhone 11) is smaller than my Android device (Samsung S20 Plus), I can't use it with one hand.
It's vegetable oil mixed with iron oxide (magnetite), so I'd expect indigestion if you consume it in large quantities. Other than that it's probably harmless.

I wonder if the agent is reusable or whether you end up with clean water and waste-oil which you need to dispose of.
Which is understandable, if you have services at $B scale. It's a bit like teams that adopt microservices or Kubernetes for their three-person startup: just because Amazon or Facebook do it doesn't mean you should.

Despite the title, the article accepts that function colours exist in Rust. The question is, does it matter?

Here’s a specific scenario to think about. If I have synchronous functions `f`, `g` and `h`, `f` can call `g(h)` and `g` can in turn call its parameter `h` - no problems. Now if I have async functions `f2` and `h2`, can `f2` call `g(h2)` without the need to write an async version of `g`?

In a language like Lua (with stackful coroutines), the answer is “yes” - `g` can be called from and can call functions of either colour. But AFAIK in JavaScript (with callbacks, promises and async/await based on promises), and in Python (with async/await based on stackless coroutines), the answer is “no” - the colour of `g` must match that of its caller and callee.

What’s the answer for Rust? Can we answer “yes” by following this article’s recommendations of “spawn [g] as a blocking task” and “throw [h2] on an executor“?

"But one could guess that he thinks of domains as private ownership and something you can steal." - I think you're right, also about the view on ownership.

I'd argue that, since there's a limited amount of useful - domain-wise - words in the English dictionary, the number of available domains are bound to run dry faster if domainparking is not discouraged somehow.
One might argue that the new TLD's are merely a 'bandaid' on a systemic problem with domains not being released properly, when no longer in proper use.

> feel like this could have been done much better by making theming a first-class citizen. Sure, put a pretty theme on by default, but let the user make every button look like a football and have the text blue-on-purpole if they want. If anything, this would further encourage developers to stick to established conventions and style guides

This was very much the case for Classic Windows themes. Everything could have been set to any colour, font, style. Dare I say, it was more customisable for end users than any Linux UI today.
Samsung uses the same domains for everything on their smart TVs: the app remote, app store and ads.

Even if it's not a bogus, they are rarely practical. Just like when adult hobbyists invent these things and they work, the engineering constraints of cost and scalability or negative side effects usually kill the project.

> There is a lot of reflect on in this comment, if you care to do the work. You are mistaking your personal preference for a certain style of food for the "western norm" which is obviously not correct because you also exclude the French tradition, which most would consider part of the heart of western cooking. You then suggest that people with different preferences are either less informed (not a chef) or less sincere (wokeness) than you. I think you will find that neither is the case: there are many who are just as well informed as you who sincerely hold a different opinion.

We all worked in the same kitchen and at no time would the overwhelming use of spices and herbs (as in Indian cusiene) enhance our recipes when we sourced local, organic, grass fed animal proteins and seasonal vegetables.

I'm not discounting French cuisine, it's an over-valued archaic relic but a cornerstone of Western gastronomy nonetheless, what I am saying is that even Bocuse (the Godfather of modern French gastronomy) followed the adage that sauces were there to cover up mediocre cuts of meat.

Where as we worked in a farm to table whose entire point of existence was to do less and thus deliver a better dish as the work had already been done by the farmer who took care to deliver and pay close attention to quality over quantity. Something I knew well and learned first hand, and took very serious.

I did nearly my entire career in farm to tables, with short stints working under Michelin chefs or staging at James Beard awarded fine dining restaurants, and to be honest none of it was compelling enough for me to stay--they all tried too hard to carve their initials in to the clients stomach than take the time to focus and source for better ingredient that needed less inputs. Covering a dish with $7 worth of micro flowers doesn't make something 'good,' especially if that was sourced from a generic meat section from Shamrock's catalog.

Moreover, I also did a Biodyanamic apprenticeship in horticulture alongside all of that while I worked in European kitchens and then ran a Biodynmic farm in Hawaii after I completed my apprenticeship.

So, while you may have reason to think it's unfounded snobbery without all of his in mind, I would ask: have you ever gardened, let alone farmed? I used to ask the same to my fellow cooks and chefs, and the resounding response in all but one case was: no. And he had only began after he joined us.

Which is why I hold the position that I do.
Fun conjectures.. maybe Elon Musk is the elusive Nakamoto. Consider this..

The name is a reference to NASA i.e. NAkamoto SAtoshi to which he's in friendly competition to be first to colonize Mars. All those untouched Bitcoins are his fundraiser to build the colony mothership. All this perfectly aligns with his enthusiasm for crypto.

And the Japanese name indicates Masayoshi's SoftBank is definitely involved. Hear Musk talking about a Vision for both Mars and Bitcoin? Think about it.. aren't all billionaires secretly dreaming about walking the fertile soils of Mars? No coincidences here.

Don't just believe me. Even The Last Futurist knows this: https://lastfuturist.com/elon-musk-must-be-bitcoin-satoshi-n...

A lot of apartments and houses were built in the area where I used to live in Japan (and will, again, when we can travel again). So I got to see the progress every morning when I walked the dog. As far as I could tell nearly all the new houses and apartments got their bathrooms as a "unit bath", there would be a truck parked nearby and the bath transported as a unit directly from the truck and brought inside.

Talking about prefab, it's supposed to go faster (and that's normally the case), and time is money (more or less so, depending on where you live), but in Japan I once saw a two-story eight-apartment building being raised and completed in less than 7 weeks. Not prefab, not completely anyway - they obviously used modules where the could. But you could still see walls etc. being built the "normal" way.

It was built on what used to be a field, I walked past it every morning when walking the dog. First they put up the (now mandatory I believe) steel framing, then they continued building it piece-by-piece. Floors, wall, roof, solar panels on the roof, doors, windows, plumbing, air conditioners/heating, painted tarmac parking area outside (with two allotted spaces for each apartment), a little roofed area to park bicycles, garbage bin area (again roofed), and cleanup. Less than seven weeks. It's the most astonishing thing I've ever seen when it comes to building not being fully prefab (the exception was the baths - they were installed as units). During the same period a slightly larger apartment building was set up in my home country, near my home there, it took nearly two years and when they were finished it still looked shabby and unfinished outside - no tarmac, no grass, leftover stuff everywhere. Took forever to get that cleaned up.

So, why did it go so extremely fast in Japan? Logistics. Everything arrived on site exactly when it should. Nothing stopped. When stuff for the roof arrived there was already a conveyor belt set up to transport it up to where it was needed. Nobody had to wait for someone else to finish what they were doing. Nothing stopped. They worked Saturdays too, but they didn't work evenings. It was just all incredibly efficient. The someone who worked out the logistics for that project.. I've never seen anything like it.
The magnetic particles are iron oxide, it's fairly common in nature. Adding too much of it to water will turn it brown and cause issues, but small quantities shouldn't pose too much of a problem.
Pro (Arguments for learning C++):

* It will massively increase your marketability: C++ is one of the most popular languages around, and it will stay this way for at least 10-20 years. Most desktop programs are still written in it, most AAA games, and most operating systems, most multi-media data processing uses either C or C++, and it's still the most popular language in the embedded space. Wherever execution speed is a goal, C++ is the lingua franca. As an iOS dev, these might be markets you didn't consider before, but knowing C++ will go a long way towards unlocking them for you, should you ever want to go into them. It will increase the potential places of employment for you like very few other languages could.

* C++ is powerful. It lets you do stuff that's out of reach in a lot of other languages. Have you ever thought "gee, this inner loop costs too much runtime but is easily vectorizable. Man I wish I could hardcode this piece of code in SSE intrinsics (or other modern CPU instructions) or write inline assembly"? Or "man, I could actually already compute this at compile time if the processor would let me" or "If I could store this information in the upper bits of the memory addresses that go unused, I could squeeze the data in a cache line, making cache misses almost a non-issue"? C++ makes these things (and many others) available to you, if you ever want to.

* It will massively increase your software-craftmanship: There are very few popular languages that will expose you to such a breath and depth of programming language concepts, From bare-metal pointers and references, manual memory management & smart pointers to template metaprogramming. At least for me, no other programming language has given me this many instructional "aha" moments, because C++ makes a lot of stuff explicit that is just hidden away in most other languages. Even if you end up not using C++ much later on, knowing and understanding the concepts of C++ will make you a much better programmer in other languages as well. And will make learning other new programming languages much easier. Haskell and LISP are the only two languages I can think of that had similar effects for me.

Contra (Arguments against learning it):

* C++ is difficult. It has massive footguns and error messages (especially in templated code) are sometimes not very helpful. A lot of things that are easy in other languages are suddenly hard, and manual. Some bugs are absolutely non-trivial, hard to understand and to debug, on a level that you haven't seen before. With great power comes great responsibility.

* C++ is old: This may just be a riff on "it's difficult". But on several occasions, it'll get on your nerve. The build and link system are outdated. And C++ in 1998 looked different than C++ in 2017. And the language is still evolving.
All it took was a plucky teenager to solve it, too!
No you do not have to be fluent. Reading English is more important than writing English, writing English s more important than speaking English.

You will most likely need to read some technical information in English.

You will probably need to write a question in English to solicit help.

You might find a job working with others who do not speak your language.

Having said that, I have seen where English is considered a 'Common' language. The tourism industry seems to have this requirement.

I know a couple, one person is German and the other is French. They live in France. Neither spoke (past tense as they do more so now) the other language. At a party someone asked how they communicated with each other. "English" of course, the common language. The German is able to work in France because of her ability to speak English enables her to communicate with co-workers.

Every alarm clock app in Android lets you edit the time when you just tap the time in the list of alarms. But iOS does nothing on tapping the time. We have to click `Edit` from top left, then tap the time to edit it. I don't how this qualifies as great UX. I recently moved from Android to iOS and there are lot of annoyances like this all over the phone.

I think the red flag is in the combination of "teen" and "<feel-good-subject>".

Although I've asked before, a great many times, can anyone explain to me why, if I search for "Carburetor for Ford Fiesta", just showing me ads for carburetors with no intrusive data mining isn't enough for companies these days?

I would, in all likelihood, click on something like that.

It's easy to infer "oh, this guy needs a new carburetor for his Ford Fiesta" from my search. What possible additional benefit is there to mining the ever-living hell out of me further?

Who is paying for this shit?

Is advertising and tracking a massive ponzi scheme?

Edit: I should point out that although the content piece doesn't explicitly mention ads, the creator is an ad-man from Google and I'd put money on it having ads anyway... hence my comment.
