Good point. Practicing those exercises for sports-like competitions sounds great for people who want to do that for its own sake.

But there seems to be a large societal opportunity cost to everyone spending several months practicing doing that on a whiteboard, specifically for job interviews.
It is strange that there's no official mailing list (except the defunct comp.lang.c++).

I recently wondered where one could find new C++ software since there's no announce list at all.

“Ruby developers” should not exist. You use the right tool for the job. It’s great to have an option that is (partially) familiar, but as a developer you should not be limited by syntax choice.
This feels wrong, purely because it's not saying the statements weren't defamatory, but just that she didn't really mean it and everyone should have known that. Further, some of her statements (that she had evidence of fraud and foreign collusion) seem to be testable claims of fact, not simply opinion.

These actions took place in the context of a highly damaging campaign to undermine American democracy, and impugn multiple parties, including deliberate and repeated tarring the name of a manufacturer of voting machines.

Saying "nuh-uh, I didn't really mean it" should be no defence.

There also seems to be some "The statements were made on behalf of Sydney Powell the corporation, not the individual" in that doc, which also seems weaselly.

I hope the dismissal fails.
Since 2000 AOT compiling into native code has been available to Java developers, no different from using something like Go.

That many didn't want to buy those compilers and settled with the free beer that could get hold of is another matter.
> it’s possible to write completely type and resource safe code in c++ now

"It's possible" is a rather low bar. It's also "possible" in C. Is it easy though? I wouldn't say so. Not if you push lambdas over queues to be invoked in another thread, or in the same thread, but later. Not if you take references to elements of std::vector. Not if you use std::vector<bool>. Not if you use operator[] on std::vector/std::array without tweaking some macros, because C++ committee in 2021 is still not convinced that bounds-checking is a reasonable default.

It's very easy on the other hand to write perfectly idiomatic "modern C++" which is memory-unsafe. Well... Easy if you figure out which one, among a dozen, is the right way™ to initialize a variable. (And then go and read code which initializes std::vector in all those different ways and try to guess which one does what.)

Ubiquiti's software is just hideous, and their support is far too often clueless.

>Why would the compiler import (that is, parse and compile) a package that's unused in the code?

Parse - yes, compile - no. Compiler still needs to parse your code to determine if your import is used or not.

Go team decided that compilation should take as little time as possible, so it is easier to make sure that the compiler does not have to worry about unused imports at all.

Not to mention that this keeps your code clean.

Dozen separate tools can be used effectively in your workflow (say CI\CD pipeline). Or just executed on every save. (or both)

How to Do Self Hypnosis?
What Self hypnosis is: Self-hypnosis or auto-hypnosis is the process through which you can reach the hypnotic state by yourself. Actually speaking, it's not something more complicated as you may think. It's the easiest technique by which you program yourself. Know the fact that your brain accepts signal, when it's given only in the present. In other words, you can program your mind only in the present tense. When you use positive affirmations in the present tense, it's found to be the most powerful instructions, your mind pays attention to. The present is powerful in life as it works as the catalyst for your past and future. Self hypnosis is the way through which you can change your life itself. https://bit.ly/3butUc7

I'm struggling with your comment. What's the difference between the dedicated room you have at home, and the dedicated office at work, which you state is mainly empty except for you? Is it a mindset thing? You just can't get into a 'work' mode whilst at home?

I'm totally in the other camp - I love working from home, and have been home-based for over 4 years now (dedicated room and set-up etc.). The only difference that covid has brought, is that my partner is now also work-from-home, which interestingly has impacted my productivity somewhat; We prefer to just sit around and chat, than focus on work - It now takes a bit more effort to get my head down and focus. :)

All that said, I'd still not want to go back into an office. Here in London, this means over an hour commute each way, on typically standing-room only trains, and then 8 hours in noisy open-plan with tiny desks, and your stuff kept in a locker.

Ultimately it's down to choice: Going forwards I'd like to see companies offer the choice of working in the office, or working from home. That way everyone can work in a location that suits them best.
> it must absolutely be defensible to highly criticize this corporation

She did more than criticise though, she made testable claims that she had evidence of fraud, that the machines were in the control of foreign powers and a variety of other things. Some were absurd, but they go beyond either opinion or criticism.

(to my reading, though I am neither a lawyer nor American, and I understand claims about damaging speech are much harder to make stick in the US. It would be hilarious and sad if dominion found a way to sue her in London...)
I would argue that a lot of this "stock music" is just a continuation of elevator music which has been around for a very long time. There's musicians (often very good ones) who essentially made their whole career doing this music, look up James Last for example.
Also if governments had said we want vaccines! Will pay $100 a head for an effective one I think private enterprise would have cranked out billions by now. Supply depends on how much you invest in production.

Maybe it's late with vaccines but the same principle applies to carbon. Set a $200 carbon price and private enterprise would go crazy with plans to take advantage.

Can you explain to me how Dominion voting systems is a political entity? They supply goods and services to the election. I truly don't get it. Are they party affiliated?
Sorry to hurt your feelings, but it is not. The _compiler_ cannot know whether the code in a package might be used (e.g. because the package is just used to register some stuff; a common example being image file formats). Only the _linker_ can strip unused stuff. This has nothing to do with bad language design, most languages work that way.
The one I got seemed to be a combination of the two. It didn't sound all bad tbh.

I'm sure it costs a lot to train an F16 pilot, but how much does an F16 cost? I'd wager an F16 is "worth more" to the airforce than a pilot's live.

Alternative interpretations of classical physics (2019)
Sure, I get how it sounds weird. But how would you amend this standard to catch the bad people like Sidney Powell, while also allowing critique of powerful, wealthy individuals and corporations? The defamation defense(and it's related anti-SLAPP laws) have been refined over years of public discourse against snake oil salesmen and big corps trying to hide their dirty laundry. If you don't allow people to say something along the lines of: "here's my source, here's what conclusions I draw from it"(the essence of Powell's defense), then how would you allow speech critical of bad businesses?

Keep in mind, you can make anything sound ridiculous with some writing skills. How about an alternate headline - "Dominion tries to silence people claiming flaws in their voting system"?

This way people have a chance to educate themselves on all the things they gave up in order to have better emoji (as one friend suggested that the emojis was what Signal lacks awhile back).

The thing is, new technologies tend to have ramifications far beyond their original scope.

We do not know yet what impact this research is going to have on other problems, but it may be significant. Finding subtle patterns is an interesting know-how in many contexts.
SARS was also first discovered ~1000 km from those caves, so it's not that far fetched. That said the proximity of the lab is very suspicious.

I'm afraid we'll never know the truth though, China would never admit it was a lab leak.

Well, I use Thunderbird in the following way:

- Basic IMAP/POP3 client

- with GPG integration

- without global indexing (I use simple searches)

and in the entire TB history, I can't remember anything that significantly changed the usage of the above.

What I remember though, is that, even with lack of resources, at some point they added a chat client!!!
In no particular order (top of my head and mostly considering the desktop Windows one)

- The history (scroll up) takes a lot to load (this is on 300mbit up/down and fast processor)
- html content in the chat totally hogs the processor
- Attachments takes forever to open internally. Not so large files like 4-5MB of log pretty much wreck it
- upload is hilariously slow (again 300mbit up/down)
- loading in browser requires an explicit login to microsoft account to open, instead of a generated link that actually works (to add some salt, my company requires 2FA for the MS login)
- audio quality issues, 'intelligent' (echo blocking algorithm kicks in wherever it wants), call drops. Esp. bad in group calls
- 'teams' chat gotta be a joke with each post forming its own thread, and you'd need to click to answer the proper one. Close to unusable feature that bears the name of the product
- Video sharing has a massive lag on screen sharing both on visual and startup time
- Blurred background algorithm is a massive flicker and it really resents people with green (t-)shirts
- Calling the phone, instead the desktop while working on the desktop. (Half of my team uses phone version as it's less buggy)
- One more: if you don't login the phone app, it will remind you to login every 3hours - until it gets uninstalled....

I can rant for at least 45minutes about it... and it's the 'default' chat application the company uses for years (along with Lync/Skype for business before) and I use it as my 'main' chat application.

As a demonstration of reproducibility, samples of palladium-nickel-zirconium oxide powder, taken from a single batch of production, were employed in independent parallel test runs at laboratories at Kobe University and Tohoku University. Both laboratories observed sustained excess heat over a period of more than 10 days. The data were qualitatively and quantitatively similar between the two laboratories.
OnlyKey looks interesting. A few things make me skeptical though: It only supports 24 accounts, which is two orders of magnitude fewer than I have in my password manager. And the hardware design doesn't look super convenient or durable. I bought a YubiKey a few years ago, and kept in on my keychain, and before I had even used it a dozen times, the entire thing disintegrated and became unusable.

Edit: I'm also a bit uneasy about securing access to all by accounts by one single PIN that can be used to unlock a physical device that is easy for someone to steal unnoticed.
open offices, long commutes, being required to be there for specific times.

And this is exactly what awaits most people after Covid. Programmers are lucky for having any options at all.

It makes no sense. Let people fucking WFH if they want to and set up a laptop for Zoom/Teams in meetings, as long as they come in for important stuff now and then.
You must not know these WFH advocates on HN.
A software switch might as well not exist at all. They are not secure, or useful, because they can just be ignored by the host machine.

Maybe it‘s just me, but I do not have enough trust in humans that they will say „hey shit happens, do just better next time“. I mean, we are pretty good today in blaming others just so someone gets blamed.
Once you have more than one office and teams split between them, you have to adopt practices which look a lot like WFH, such as putting conversations online, communicating asynchronously, and avoiding in-person-only meetings. Even if you made me go into my local office, there is literally one other person there who is on my team versus two dozen others around the world. Our WFH working method would not change discernibly.
Noooooooooooo.

Why must Microsoft buy everything.
rsync.net allows you to send zfs send your own filesystem, and they have provisions to make the data append-only so you can't fall victim to ransomware.

Of course it doesn't protect against bugs in zfs itself, so it's still good to use another software depending on how critical your data is but I'd say for a very large majority of cases it should be enough
It is in EMAs interest to do incremental processing and this is what they have been doing in other cases.

It is in AZs interest to not start the process which would make the factory available for EU, where AZ is not willing to deliver at this time. (Instead, they ship doses even from the EU factories to UK and elsewhere.)

Given this, you would need something concrete to back your speculation to the contrary.

Yeah, I’m not exactly getting why BBC is wrong either.

Re “statistical”, to me, it sort of implies all sources of error or variability were provably not present (prove a negative) and the only reason for a coincidental result was a statistical anomaly. What’s got to be far more likely is some unaccounted-for variable produced the coincidental result.
The UK is not hoarding, every vaccine is being used.

The EU so far is doing very little to vaccinate the world, for all its current moralising focus on shipping of a handful of doses to richer countries.
Well because you can encode intuition in names. e.g. Quarks come in pairs, and each pair has one quark with +2/3e charge and one with -1/3e. The names can give you intuition for their charge, i.e. Up quark is +2/3e Down quark is -1/3e. And if you give names that give you intuition for the charge it is considerably easier to remember (as a former undergrad physicist trust me you need assistance here). The name name "top" allows you to immediately think "up" and +2/3e and "bottom" allows you to immediately think "down" and -1/3e.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I think we need better tools and processes for the work from home era. Cal Newport calls this the hyperactive hive mind.

In the office you had all of these meetings and interruptions so the real work got done outside of normal hours basically.

With work from home it is a lot of trying to get the right information and aligning with others. Then the rest of the work gets done outside of that.
So, "yes where applicable"?
They'd just trigger the EMP:s and lasers and use the attempt as an unusually well justified propaganda opportunity.

Her claims went beyond flaw to alleging collusion. I kind of get your point, but I don't see her defence as a lay down misere compared to Tucker Carlson. She filed paper in the court. If she was speaking to her filings, wasn't she misleading the court?
That's interesting, whenever I search for anything programming related the results differ greatly and google always wins.

I actually switched to DDG cold-turkey and didn't use !g at all. Until I couldn't solve some problem and someone in my team said "it's the first result on google", I felt pretty stupid then. Since then I've given up and just automatically stick !g whenever I'm searching anything programming related.

Sampling only limits the highest possible frequency, it doesn't quantize over time like a lot of people expect it to. Unless frequencies above 22khz are somehow an integral part of your listening experience you can use 44khz and suffer no ill effects.

Anyone talking about sampling and showing you a graph with stair steps is misleading. No DAC would be able to produce such a perfect stair step in the first place, let alone be tuned to do so on purpose.
No I don't, even if there is something unknown going on that has none of the known characteristics of fusion, why even say it's fusion? Why attach that label to it, especially when you have no actual theory of what is happening and why?

To put it another way, why are you calling this an unknown fusion reaction? What's the basis for the claim that it was fusion of any kind?

F&P thought that the evidence they had found demonstrated fusion. That it was known evidence of fusion. They were simply wrong. Saying 'well it might be some unknown form of fusion' is post-hoc rationalisation (for which you have no evidence or theory). That's not what they were saying at the time.

It's so infuriating that 30 years later we're still fighting these fundamental misconceptions about what was going on.

Neither did MS-DOS until version 2.0. Both CP/M and MS-DOS 1.0 were targeted at computers which almost exclusively utilized only small capacity floppy drives for which a hierarchical filesystem made little sense. CP/M was already basically dead by the time hard drives became cheap enough for the type of systems CP/M targeted. If it had not been then certainly support for a hierarchical filesystem would have been added.
