The issue is for small project you don't really require C++ over C. Because supposedly the price you pay for abstractions has better returns the larger the application is (and that is generally true).

My largest C project was 60k lines of code.

The code was very, very dense. It had a lot of functionality that had to be packed to as little code as possible (due to memory limitation). It had things like transactional log-based database working in very small, static amount of memory, point in time recovery (so if the application failed it could restore itself to a number of possible checkpoints before the failure), parsers for various protocols (BER-TLV, for example), a lot of cryptography and custom cryptographic protocols, a GUI framework for a small monochromatic screen and keypad, drivers for a bunch of devices (thermal printer, external pinpad, etc.), SSL, a lot of business logic, state machines for talking to a network host, etc.
I should have clarified that its in my own experience, based on some of the non-disclosure stuff I've had to sign. Everything depends on the employer though; they most likely could list it on their resume, but probably not much more than that.

My point was more that the show is offering an illusion of exposure, when they'll be lucky if they are even mentioned in the credits.

My relative who was in the video game industry wasn't even allowed to list their most recent jobs actual employment to their next employer, as another example of strong contract

I don't really find this kind of simple ethical calculus convincing, but I would say that a world where some people continue eating meat and keep raising cows, pigs, chicken, sheep, goats and other animals that would die off if they weren't consumed seems better to me than a purely 100% vegan world. On the other hand, as someone's personal choice instead of worldwide decision, I don't think it seems plausible that being vegan is "less moral" than being an ethical farmer.
I expected something like “Procrastination and FOMO loops”, because these warnings are directed at consumer’s health, not someone else’s.

Maybe I should have written “obviously” instead. Basically, no need to invent “non-obvious” factors like “China had prior knowledge of the virus”. It’s definitely possible, but you can explain China’s success vs Western failure without that “hidden” factor as well.

I agree - I definitely think that how we treat deer in the UK as a food source and as a wild population is a sensible way of 'farming' animals.

My only concern is with domesticated stock. Cows couldn't possibly survive in nature, and would suffer greatly, for example. If we're concerned with raising animals for food that also live enriched lives, do we also have an obligation to breed them in ways that enrich them?

Because it's easier to convince people to take on more vegetarian foods if you can provide a good alternative to foods they already eat.

Let's be honest, most people aren't going to become vegetarian, but a lot of people will happily eat more vegetarian foods if it's available.

I'm sorry but I don't share your sentiment here. You were asked a fair bit about difficult personalities. That is you were warned as much as HR could warn you. And then you jump into the role totally oblivious to that aspect and you go about focusing only on engineering. I mean, and it's typical for engineers, there are _always_ way more moving parts in businesses than machines. But you always focus there and take pride of it. Yet, the most difficult challenges are people - not machines. So, you did effectively nothing to detect where the people problem lied and prepare the ground to deal with that as well. And when that blew in your face you just left and say the story like there was nothing you could do about it.
Honestly flabbergasted by the amount of ignorance in this thread, it was definitely not what I expected from the Hacker News crowd.

- Cattle does not eat soy byproducts and soy production is definitely not driven by human consumption. Not by value, not by mass. [1]

- Bison herds did not produce as much methane as today's cattle. [2]

- Cattle does not strictly use land unsuitable for growing crops. Also, this completely ignores any other unwanted effects of having too much cattle (in one area). [3]

- Meat is not always healthier than "processed foods", whatever the latter may actually mean.

When looking for facts on any of this, try to look for scientific papers instead of videos or blogs and do look-up the individual researchers and whom they work for. There's too much at stake here for the companies trying to sow doubt, as evidenced by some of the things I read here.
I'm very confused by the article.

There has been an extensive analysis by a virologist on Reddit[¹], who claimed that, very simply, SARS-COV2 is a so-called "mosaic" virus, while man-made viruses are inevitably "chimera" ones. The article does not seem to make this distinction.

The virologist also chimed on HN (besides, calling BS on people who were, out of ignorance, spreading false beliefs), but it seems he's not participating to this post.

It'd be best to have the opinion of a specialized scientist, in order to to have scientific clarity before starting the political arguments.

There is no clear yes/no answer here. Without a smoking gun either way there is a scale of probability/certainty and everyone who looks into this falls somewhere on that scale based on their experience, ideology, biases, research, etc...

Personally I think lab origin is unlikely as whilst it's possible to describe how it could happen, that's not proof it did actually happen. Too often people mistake theoretical actions for proof of action. The probability of natural origin still ranks higher for me but I wouldn't bet my house on it.
The extension of this argument exposes the absurdity, as it would imply that we go out and domesticate nature. Stop lions from killing their prey in the Savannah, etc... and convert them to a vegetarian diet.

I am not a lawyer, but i think there is a substantial difference. specifically, if you issue a takedown and they don't take every copy down, you can't sue them for that.

Basically, to me it reads as if any failures of the Content-ID system to protect your copyright are no longer youtube's problem, but yours. I can see why someone would not be okay with such a waiver.

Mind, I could very well be wrong about the legal interpretation - but if the copyright owner made the same reasoning, he'd still end up at this conclusion. Even if it turns out to be legally incorrect.

I can categorically say that is untrue. While not a fan of direct pharmaceutical marketing, the FDA has strict rules about what needs to be in an advertisement. Chiefly, it must address:

* At least one approved use for the drug (the actual medical condition that it has been tested for)

* The generic name

* Nearly every side effect the drug can give you. There are some side-rules on that one.

One particularly funny side effect is that the narrator needs to read out a comprehensive disclaimer.

I was once on holiday and with US TV, and saw a few times an ad for performance enhancement for older gentlemen. The ad showed an older couple, who first are not very happy, then much happier with each other, frollicking in the long grass and disappearing off shot etc.

While that was happening, the narrator was reading in an impassioned, but also somewhat undulated voice: "side effects include headaches, blurred vision, hypertension, liver failure, paralysis and death" [I can't quite remember the list, basically it went from minor to death, as most drugs do].

For someone not at all used to serious drugs being advertised on prime-time TV, this was quite a thing to see.
My understanding is that the T2 chip and storage works like how the iPhone does. Everything on flash is encrypted but you have system data and user data. The keys to system data are unlocked during the boot process (the T2 also replaces the SMC so it also handles the POST). User data is encrypted with different keys (which are probably locked with the users password). This way the machine can boot without a password (like how on a iPhone you don’t enter your passcode until the phone has finished booting).

If you were to replicate that hand shake between the OS and chip, sure apple could have created a “lifeboat connector” on T2 based macs. However the “isolated island” of the PCB communicates with would get more complex (you don’t want to be back powering the whole board from the connector, if there was a simple short on the board somewhere which was preventing the machine from powering on, then with no isolation you could be also “powering that short” from the lifeboat connector and be unable to recover data without more work.

On M1 MacBooks things have been stepped up a notch. The Application processor and the security processor that handles the encryption are now the same chip, so you would have to power a “whole lot more”. To top it off the flash chip which is to your SSD and the RAM chip are on the same package as the M1 unit as one big System On Chip.

Think of it like this, it’s like if a Intel I7 processor also had the ram and SSD on that chip you brought when you built your machine.

Now it’s a lot more harder to create a lifeboat connector. Not impossible but harder.

Now as Apple will have a lot of data on their own repair program they can look into how often they were able to / could be bothered to recover data off their older models and how much it pissed the customer off and probably decided it wasn’t worth the hassle.

If I were giving them the benefit of the doubt. They think their customers data will be more secure without it.

But it’s another reason why right to repair is important. As we have seen with phones, people are willing to write off the phone and pay decent cash to recover the pictures of their kids they had on their phones. With schematics, 3rd parties could much easier create tools and fixes to get the SOC in a workable state just long enough to recover data (Apple R&D prob even have have test boards where they can swap the SOC, If the SOC, Ram, Flash are all ok and not had LCD backlight voltage sent down the data lines... And recover the data. But their "repair techs" have to now learn how to remove the SOC package from the main board).

If the chip that contains the keys itself is dead, even with all documentation and access to parts you wanted, you are SOL as these chips are typically designed to create the keys on chip and never let them out.

Maybe it’s because of how we buy prescription medicine. You’ll get the prescription from your doctor, and then go to a pharmacy where they will default to offering you the cheapest brand available at the time of your purchase, and ask if you’re cool with that.

So we sort of have a culture where you only really stick to certain brands if you’ve ever had a bad reaction to a copy product. I’ve got a hay fever for instance, and for the past many years I’ve stuck to the same brand of antihistamines because I once bought a box that made me nauseous and I just went back to what I had previous used. This is anecdotal of course, but it took me almost a decade to learn the name and not just ask for the ones in the green box.
Yeah, but nobody is teaching that. Nobody is going in and telling kids that they are helpless victims. That's just fox news nonsense.

SARS-CoV-2 Spike Proteins Disrupt the Blood-Brain Barrier
(I work in mainframes, but not directly COBOL.) COBOL could certainly be done better today, but its strength comes from the fact that it limits what programmers can do with it.

In the past, there was a divide between systems and application programmers. Roughly, the systems programmers took care about the details of the infrastructure and resource access, while the application programmers worried about the "business logic" of the applications.

After the microcomputer revolution, new languages emerged and this divide was lost. "Modern" languages such as C or Java do not make this distinction. Today, programmers are supposed to be interchangeable, and they are supposed to work equally well on system infrastructure and application logic. I suspect it's partly the pride, because infrastructure work is often seen as more attractive - all the distributed algorithms stuff, scaling, etc.

To me interesting question is, was this divide valuable and should we return to it? I think so. With the advent of functional programming, it is possible to understand applications a layers of translation between different languages (see https://degoes.net/articles/modern-fp-part-2), where the language of the business problem is at the top layer, and the language of the operating system is at the bottom layer. The (application) programmers, working on the upper layers, should specialize in the application domain, and the (system) programmers, working on the lower layers, should specialize in computer systems.
There is nothing to turn upside down. The burden of proof is equal for both theories.

> Then there is the embedded space where almost 40 years later trying to use C++ instead of C is still an uphill battle, between embedded development communities, tool vendors, debugging tools, available libraries.

I worked in embedded development for over 10 years and at every place it was the norm to use C++ instead of C internally. But when creating libraries for customers to use, these where almost always in C or at least with C bindings.

I guess the reason is that one can use C libraries in C++, but not the other way around.
> I kinda get that they'd want to pay less if you were living in Poland, considering the cost of living

Shouldn’t a company pay what a job is worth to them, not based upon what they think the employees costs are?

This gets complicated fast as remote work, work from home etc all changes the equation.
Does the end customer get to pay a different amount based on their location? From my experience the remote customer usually pays more, not less.

>Thinking you have friends at work is a mistake of youth. It is what it is. Most people will barely have any real friends in life.

This just isn't true and work is one of the only places most adults will even have the opportunity to make new friends at all.

I'm not saying like treat everyone you work with as a friend but there is no problem with socializing with your colleagues and eventually becoming friends.

All the worthwhile friendships I made in adult life have been through work and there are plenty of people who I worked with 2-4 companies ago that I still meet up with and consider good friends.

As you point out, it depends on how we define "domain expert". I may be a "blockchain domain expert" but I also need to understand what consumers need from a blockchain in order for it to be a profitable venture. My idea may be very innovative, but if it doesn't solve people's problems it's not going to make much of a difference.

In other words, a successful business requires not only producing an innovative product, it also requires knowing if people actually demand this innovative product. One half is the core idea, the other half is how this idea interfaces with the world.

At this point I can't tell if you're a parody account or not but I'll bite: how exactly do you plan on forcing omnivorous animals (bears, etc) from eating meat?
I think the original argument is a good one, but lets try another.

If we had fully lab grown meat that was identical to the real thing. How many of us would convert? In theory, we all would.

In reality, we still covet mined diamonds, so we'll probably still irrationaly claim there's a difference long after there really is.
I try to be that guy at my job.

I have no technical background, I'm a lawyer but I like the the IT sector and its people a lot.

Last year, due to Covid, I got fired from my corporate legal job and got the opportunity to become the head of a department in the biggest IT company for legal management software in my country.

My department has the biggest workload in the he company and people work there ranging from5 to 20 years. They are amazing people and professionals but every two months the staff get shuffled around into different departments like it's a shell game.

Some got used to it over time and developed kind of detachment that penetrated the personality. You just see thousands yards stares by sole Individuums in their cubicles.

Upper management is a joke. They never left us alone to show real long-term results. I spend more time building a team than improving people's performances. Sometimes old team members call me up for advice and when they get reshuffled into my apartment again, they glow with energy again.

Managers told me some of my team mates were unmanageable and I couldn't figure out why because if I ask them to do something they'll always comply.

I could tell you more detailed stories about my workplace but it would probably bore you.

Anyways, I hope there is a place for me in this IT world. A company that values the impact a non-tech guy can have on the culture and wiling to learn. I want to build a team that has each other's backs, where you can be personal with your supervisor steam and solve problems in a professional way.

My outcome with that particular company was that I quit three weeks ago. I have no knew job lining up and I'll miss my people a lot but I don't want to become numb and burned out by being a sisyphos.
Well I’ve had a friendly hemorrhoid for a few years that I frequently see a lovely anal surgeon for and I probably have some “this might be cancer” search entries from a few years back, but it’s been so long that I should’ve died by now if it was actually cancer down there.

Other than that I have no idea heh.
> Telling someone they are a victim and there is nothing they can possibly do to better their situation is not a helpful or productive action.

Who is telling people that they are victims? Who thinks that being a victim means that it's 100% outside of that person's control?

These are the straw-men that so many dumb comments here are based on. There are real victims in the world and most of the time they're just trying to tell their stories, only to get constant derision from idiots in cesspools like Hacker News.
maybe that's necessary? You wouldn't say someone should be able to buy an unsafe car because they are poor.

There are literally millions of beautiful people trying to make a living out of being beautiful. I don't believe that "being beautiful" or "sex sells" adequately explains the success of any of the people you mention.

And the target market for the Kardashians (I think, as far as I understand it) is not the people who find them sexually attractive. This is different from Marilyn Monroe, who mostly appealed to straight men, and for whom "sex sells" would be a perfect description. The Kardashian's market don't want to have sex with the Kardashians. They want to be the Kardashians (I think).
I really wonder if there are special cooking instructions to make them that might be causing so many restaurants to pull them off the menu.
