Could your need have been satisfied with another product available locally? Was your need for that exact product really only created by browsing online?

For instance I could spend hours reading reviews about power washers and finding the perfect model and then lamenting it not being available at my local hardware store. Or I could just buy whatever corresponding product they have and be just as happy.

This is such an myopic human-centric world view. If every other species had a voice, or an opinion on what the success of man has meant for their own lives, their own families, their own future, what would they say ?

Consider how much man has cost every other living thing on this planet today.
What you're describing is in and of itself a severe cost and barrier to the very thing we're describing: interoperability between Java and Scala collections. On the one hand you have Scala where you either have to constantly `.asScala` and `.asJava`, or go your route of ensuring that in any given module only deals with either Scala or Java collections. This may involve additional abstractions or classes to achieve. On the other hand you have Kotlin which just directly, frictionlessly deals with Kotlin/Java collections the same way (in fact, they literally are the same). We're comparing "some small-to-medium cost" against "zero-cost".

Or an other way of saying it is that your approach of walling off modules as either java-collection or scala-collection is kind of like saying "Java and Scala collections work well together, so long as you don't have to use them together too much. If you minimize how much they need to interoperate, the problem is not so bad."
In her first sentence, the phrase “the C / C++ programming language” is no longer correct: C++20 requires two’s complement signed integers.

C++ 20 is quite new so I would assume that very few people know this yet.

C and C++ obviously differ a lot, but by that phrase she clearly means “the part where then two languages overlap”. The C++ committee has been willing to break C compatibility in a few ways (not every valid C program is a valid C++ program), and this has been true for a while.
But there are significant sums invested to fund research. In many ways it's a similar transaction to the VC. An investment into 'bad' research does not help the university or funding council reach their goals e.g. to raise their own funding or contribute impactful research to science. Hopefully, they are diversified enough for the bad eggs not to matter
it's beautiful, innovative, and inspiring! well done!
For the record, Apple didn't give the world LLVM. They bought out the original development team and then had them develop a proprietary fork for Apple devices, oftentimes referred to as Apple LLVM.

Also, while I'm here, I still am not convinced of Apple's privacy dedication. The T2 chip was a joke for anyone familiar with PRNG generation or the actual exploits being patched with it, and they've refused to add E2E encryption to debatably the most important product in their lineup: iCloud. Furthermore, their collusion with PRISM and history in China leads me to believe that their statement "privacy is a human right" is all security theater. Apparently, it's only a human right if you don't live in a place where their government disagrees. Then Apple has to abide by their rules. And if they're happy to turn over information in China, there's nothing stopping them from colluding with the US to weaponize their information.
The reason you are being downvoted is that you are proposing an extremely regressive tax. For example, splitting police costs among the residents evenly means that everyone, regardless of income, has the same tax burden.

The reason property taxes are based on value is that it acts to tax wealthier people at a higher rate than poorer people. Plus, just because the money that purchased the land was taxed means nothing to the local community. Sure, the federal & state governments have already taxed that income, but that means nothing to the local community, who has to pay for schools and EMS every year. And these services act to make the property more valuable, so why shouldn't the residents of the community pay for them?

That book, more than anything, helped me to see anarchism as a viable organizational system and not just people “doing whatever they want”.
The meltdown at Basecamp shows that ultra-sensitivity, faux-rage and fad discussions have taken over ("There's a list with names like Mr. Far Tallot and Ms. Katherine Cuif, oh the humanity, that's like ethnic cleansing catalogues!").

And there's no reason unspent money couldn't just become a tax. So, a negative interest rate from your perspective, but a revenue stream to govs. At that point, good luck ever having enough sovereignty to retire unless the Gov sanctions it.
> since it has spaceships it must be the latter.

I look forward to the day when spaceships become as mundane as trains and helicopters, so that their presence alone will not make a novel "science fiction".

Le Guin never identified her books as science fiction. Sadly the world can't seem to look at a book without shoving it into the bounds of a familiar genre. This doesn't help readers, either, as GP was apparently given the wrong expectations by these labels.

> Unlimited enough that up to 8 weeks a year spread out a bit is not going to cause any issues.

That varies by a huge amount depending on company and team and manager. I have unlimited PTO and if I took 8 weeks in a year, I’d be an outlier. I’d also have to be very very careful about optics.
Yes, exactly. But I'd extend this one part:

> Almost everyone is going to either peek at the data, massage the data, or try the validation and when it fails tweak the model and try again, or any number of shenanigans that no one admits happen - but happen all the time.

While "peeking" at the data is certainly something that happens all the time, usually what happens for even the most rigorous of model-makers is that your model fails "out of domain" -- the past doesn't accurately reflect the future.

Even if you get everything else right, it's incredibly common to fool yourself into believing you're capturing "reality", when in fact you're just making a good fit to past random fluctuations.
Interesting to find this on the front page.

I lived on a kibbutz for nearly three years, and left a few years ago. Like most insular communities, there's a lot to like when looking at it from the outside. People live in comfortable homes and have plenty to eat, with plenty of modern accoutrements like Internet access and the like. The community is quiet, with houses linked by footpaths instead of roads. The sense of community is strong.

The flip side is that internal community politics was horrible. People fought over the width of door frames in newly renovated housing because otherwise their houses weren't equal. People who turned their external salaries over to the kibbutz were often exploited, earning salaries that were a fraction of market rate, because they wouldn't see any of the extra. There were mentally ill people in positions of power who could not be removed because it was "their" position and their membership could not be revoked.

It's easy to look at kibbutzim and think that the grass is greener on the other side. But it comes at a deep price to your soul.
Chrome and Safari; Chrome and Edge all use or used the same rendering engine (on one platform or another) for years, but you would never say you’re using one or the other when you don’t.

Similarly if my Chevy has the exact same engine as a model of Dodge I would never say I’m driving a Dodge.

It's evident that the free market has failed to house people appropriately, and also evident that it would be cheaper and easier to solve homelessness with state-provided housing first solutions.

Not taking this action is "allowing a homelessness industry to exist".

Why wouldn't you use a unidirectional connection for time series and event data? I understand why you might want to send things out to the rest of the world, I can't fathom why you wouldn't require physical access to have write access.
Much of China’s pollution is from industries that the West outsourced, and which support western consumption today. So it’s certainly not as simple as China being selfish.

Yea, that'd also be like saying Edge and Brave aren't browsers either. They're just skins on top of Chrome. The browser is way more than its rendering engine.

Just like one could live their life wholly not applying the same level of effort you describe here to their lives, living on “zero learned skill” and purely “instinctual means” alone.

I’d argue having children is the same. You can do it with zero effort, or you can do it with intention, to leave behind a better off generation, and devoting yourself selflessly as a parent to that cause.

I believe the lifelong quest of high-quality intention is what ultimately is the greatest achievement of life one can chase. Whether that is intentionally treating others with kindness and leaving pleasant memories, or intentionally raising healthy and inspired children who will continue to take up noble intention.

Wouldn’t self-righteous for an atheist be more like ‘acting in accordance with my personal moral law’?

OK, this makes sense, but I think it's more a function of the ECB's negative interest rates than anything else. The situation is not the same in the US, nor is it throughout most of the world.

Also, I'm not sure if I would describe this as banks wanting to get rid of deposits, rather than wanting to make money off of them. It's not as if banking customers have meaningful alternatives at the moment, do they?
Ask HN: How do you care, not too much or too little, just enough?
I normally really care about work, about doing things right, or at least my version of right, anyway, but something odd happened last year, I moved companies just as the lockdown started and the onboarding process was a mess, to cut a very long story short, expectations were set very low with my manager apologising to me almost on a daily basis and I just went along with it and realized that I didn't care. I didn't argue, to the point of, if somebody suggested that I do things differently, I'd change them even if it didn't think it was a great idea, on the basis of it not being worth the hassle.

Now I'm sort of back to my normal self where I do care, where I argue, where you have to provide compelling arguments for me to do things differently and I find it exhausting but at the same time, I can't just go back to not caring, I've tried but I find myself reverting to my old caring self.

So I just wonder how people care the right amount

Note, I do realize that the right amount is entirely subjective and my level of care might be the right amount, it just doesn't feel that way.

Thanks

> Ultimately the fix is up to the top universities. If Stanford suddenly says all CS papers are now being published on SciHub first (or through some new filter), who’s going to argue?

Unfortunately, if they have staff that also intend to, or should prepare for, working somewhere else after Stanford (which is very common in an academic career), then those are likely to revolt.

You could see this happen with the introduction of "Plan S" in many European countries, where researchers were afraid that "top" journals were no longer accessible to them and that that would hurt their standing in the field and future opportunities in, primarily, the US.
There is volatility for sure. But the same is true for any asset: stocks, bonds, real estate, even gold. Albeit not as much as a currency only around for 20 years, as you said.

As for loans, lots of exchanges let you trade with leverage, effectively trading on borrowed money.

The point isn’t how, but that the idea isn’t in the words. If I held that view, I’d be bringing in assumptions into the words that aren’t actually there in the words. This is true even if the author actually had those thoughts. The words simply don’t carry that information.
I don’t understand? Why not make the memory representation sympathetic with the operations you’re going to do on it? It’s the raison d’être of computers to compute and to do it fast.

Kara's Orchards CBD Gummies
Karas Orchards CBD Gummies Reviews: Many individuals have been attempting to improve shape for their bodies and stay fit. The wellness business is likewise on a blast since the time the pandemic struck the world a year ago. The worldwide pandemic caused individuals to see that it is so essential to remain fit and have a sound body. It is the need of great importance for individuals to have a sound body so they can carry on with a glad and long life. The great issue that people groups experience the ill effects of these days is that there is no an ideal opportunity for them to take measures for remaining fit. Probably the most serious issue that individuals experience the ill effects of these days is the issue of sustenance.

By adding in non-apple transactions. Which is what Robles apparently does as well, and has been allowed to do so for years.

The defense from apple was apparently that roblox and Minecraft to do not in fact constitute games, whereas fortunate does, so the rules are different.
This is just Modi stalling outer competition so that his friend and big donor to his party Ambani can bring similar products to market.

They tried a lot of shenanigans against Amazon so that Ambani's Reliance Digital can gain ground, but it has been a losing fight.
Its not anti-tech or anti-corpprate, its anti-monopoly. Remember its two huge corporations fighting this battle, Epic isn't some innocent tiny startup but in this case they have a point that Apple and Google have too much control and the fight has already resulted in smaller developers getting more share of their sales on the two app stores.
I find you missed the point of the post and the issues described in it.

In my estimation, libraries like boost are way too big and way too clever and they create more problems than they solve. Also, they don't make me happy.

You're overfocusing on a "problem" that is almost completely irrelevant for most of programming. Big endian is rare to be found (almost no hardware to be found, but some file formats and networking APIs have big-endian data in them). Where you still meet it, you don't do endianness conversions willy-nilly. You have only a few lines in a huge project that should be concerned with it. Similar situation for dealing with aligned reads.

So, with boost you end up with a huge slow-compiling dependency to solve a problem using obscure implicit mechanisms that almost no-one understands or can even spot (I would never have guessed that your line above seems to handle misalignment or byte swapping).

This approach is typical for a large group of C++ programmers, who seem to like to optimize for short code snippets, cleverness, and/or pedantry.

The actual issue described in the post was the UB that is easy to hit when doing bit shifting, caused by the implicit conversions that are defined in C. While this is definitely an unhappy situation, it's easy enough to avoid this using plain C syntax (cast expression to unsigned before shifting), using not more code than the boost-type cast in your above code.

The fact that the UB is so easy to hit doesn't call for excessive abstraction, but simply a revisit of some of the UB defined in C, and how compiler writers exploit it.

(Anecdata: I've written a fair share of C code, while not compression or encryption algorithms, and personally I'm not sure I've ever hit one of the evil cases of UB. I've hit Segmentation faults or had Out-of-bounds accesses, sure, but personally I've never seen the language or compilers "haunt me".)

At my first job we built a .Net application for a client. There where some pretty detailed specification regarding how the thing was suppose to work, but not what it was actually used for.

We had an extremely happy client, who used this thing extensively in his own consulting business. None of the developers could tell you how the software was to be used, beyond: “It stores data in a tree like structure with three node types”.
What is the issue with porn? Is there something bad about it? If so, what? Seeing people naked? Seeing people having sex?

The article even mentions porn in one sentence with hate:

Hate and porn? Really? How are hate and porn related?
Yes. I read it a long time ago. Its a really beautiful coming of age story.
I read a Wizard of Earthsea as a kid, and looking back 2 things stood out to me.

First is the diversity of the characters. It's not all white people, although I recall some TV/film adaptions were not particularly faithful to that much to Le Guin's disappointment.

The other is a phrase that I still use to this day: "tired is stupid". Particularly when I've been debugging something for many hours, late into the evening, I find that some rest and coming back to it later is almost always the solution to my problem. Turns out PEBKAC does not just apply to lusers.
Oooof, that is a pretty one sided wikipedia page there.
I agree, but as I wrote in another comment here I often fall victim to the same myself. I find it quite paradoxal however, how I spent weeks deciding which sports watch to buy, but how the real estate market here gave us a few hours in deciding which apartment to bid on..

Anyways, I find your point about 30% often apply more to local shops. Price is often a bit higher, but biggest problem is not having a comparable model at the price point I wanted. And with a seller in front of you doing their thing, it's easy to walk out with more than intended.

Both sides of the github issue discussion are incredibly fragile, defensive, and sensitive.

The conversation should have been:

A: “Hey this green is legit yellow, this is very confusing for new users. I’m not sure if this is a bug because it’s so abnormal I’ve never seen this anywhere ever before”

B: “Ya we did that on purpose, because we hate green, please use the IRC channel in the future to determine if something is a bug or something we did because of our dislike for the color green first in the future. Our github time is more important than our IRC time. Anyone who doesn’t know all our rules will be attacked and banned from the community. And here are some other themes for people that like green to look green instead of yellow, please enjoy.”

A: “oh cool, thanks”

While all of that is true, the bigger question in this argument is whether or not Apple can justify the premise of restricting speech on its platform as arbitrarily/selectively as it does without being taking to task for interfering in the operation of the product they sold.

For example, was Apple in the right to threaten Telegram with expulsion from the App Store for user-generated chatrooms protesting the election in Belarus when such events are the function of chatroom services?

Would Apple have done the same with iMessage, Discord, Facebook Messenger, IRC clients, etc for similar discussions Apple deemed inappropriate the previous example?

We can all agree Apple has a 1st amendement right to freedom of association. But how far does it justify hypocrisy, unwritten rules, retroactive changes to their EULA, and interference in commerce at point of sale or after the fact? At some point a contract must be a contract and not a list of suggestions or commands subject to whimsical application. Not on Apple's or Epic's.

On another note, I'm surprised Apple hasn't interfered with Tinder or dating apps as a whole considering that user-generated content on those is almost certainly pornographic.
It’s too bad, I actually like Calibri quite a bit. Again, it’s not an amazing font but perfectly serviceable.

Looking at the samples they provided in the pictures, I’d say I liked Tenorite, Grandview and Bierstadt the most. Skeena and Seaford I hated, I’m not a fan of serif fonts that inspire them. They look so dated to me.
