I so much appreciate your point of view! I don't understand those nihilist statements as well. Looks like Satre's smoke has permeated most minds.

We are having this convo because someone had a child.

If someone really thought and believed life isn't a great thing (equating a stone wall to a human being) he'd be either a dishonest person or a weakling to be alive educating us.

For if he truly believes children and humans are all nothing, then, why toil in vain. Why procrastinate, why suffer at all for nothing.

Why is it that the majority of the humans that live and has ever lived chose to toil and provide for their family? Why is it that many folks that has ever lived are happy to have kids and nurture them. Is it ignorance that has given our ancestors the joy they experienced in child bearing and nurturing?

An "intellectual" that is enjoying the wealth of our ancestors turns to proclaim it all nothing because we cannot remember their names.
Big endian is easier for humans to read when looking at a memory dump, but little endian has many useful features in binary encoding schemes due to the low byte being first.

I used to like big endian more, but after deep investigation I now prefer little endian for any encoding schemes.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but your example is just using a library to do the same task, rather than illustrating any difference between C and C++. If you want to pull boost in to do this, that's great, but that hardly seems like a fair comparison to the OP, since instead of implementing code to solve this problem yourself you're just importing someone else's code.

We were bothered by the same thing :) Many plugins for OpenAPI had no codegens which would produce deterministic behavior for compatibility across various languages. Also we wanted to have something that could express complex business domains in definitions.

Ended up building protoforce.io for the very purpose. It does support typescript + nodejs, which we used for the website itself as well.
C is perfect for these problems. I like teaching the endian serialization problem because it broaches so many of the topics that are key to understanding C/C++ in general. Even if we choose to spend the majority of our time plumbing together functions written by better men, it's nice to understand how the language is defined so we could write those functions, even if we don't need to.
It wasn't clear to me but what was the undefined behaviour in the naive approach?
Given the [google search found] density of dry pasta, the volume and the maxweight of shipping containers, it seems dry pasta is strangely close to the density shipping containers are made for; so you could fill one with flat pasta - if I have it right, a full container of flat paste is about 17100kg where as the max is 20000. So yes, shaped pasta is a limit on shipping.

I'm sorry, but I've been digging and I just don't see any major justification here. I'm sure there's subtlety, but there's just no one in the research world coming out to say this. There are no accusations being made. There's no memo with his name on it. There's no specific study cited that he pushed. There's nothing. No one is covering this.

This is just the next conspiracy theory, isn't it? It's not falsifiable, so everyone is going to believe it anyway. This is how we got Q. You're doing it again.
Do we know the full details of this API or is there something nefarious it can do we’re unaware of?

Not really. Unicode is a variable width abstract encoding; a single character can be made up of multiple code points.

For Unicode, 32-bit bytes would be an incredibly wasteful in memory encoding.
There are no current middle-endian systems but they used to exist. The PDP-11 is the most famous one. The macros would work on all systems, but as only very old systems are middle-endian, they also have old compilers so may not be able to optimise it as well.

Your reference to Britain having done what the Waffen SS did:

"division that tracked down and executed civilians en masse due to their ethnicity"

I thought you meant that. It's not more palatable, but actions abroad have a different complexion somehow. Governments can get away with actions the citizenry don't witness (or citizens can claim ignorance) which is different to if there's literally squads picking people off the streets in front of your own eyes; which is what you referred to.

Like I said, I'm aware of many atrocities by British people but just not of that particular one in recent history?

Also, this might be irrelevant at the cpu level, but within a byte, bits are usually displayed most significant bit first, so with little endian you end up with bit order:

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8

instead of

15 to 0

This is because little endian is not how humans write numbers. For consistency with little endianness we would have to switch to writing "one hundred and twenty three" as

The money multiplier is irrelevant because the only limits to money creation are the availability of resources and labor in the real world.

It doesn't matter who creates the money and if you create the money in a way that does not utilize resources or labor it doesn't even matter how much you create.

The Fed and the government effectively have an unlimited number of dollars at their disposal, if you were pragmatic their bank account balance would be literally infinite dollars.

This oversimplification should make it strikingly obvious that inflation is not driven by the amount of dollars, after all there are infinite dollars in existence so expected inflation is infinite according to old economic wisdom but for some reason isn't.

If increasing the money supply by infinite dollars does nothing, then so does increasing the money supply by a few trillion dollars.

On the other hand, if you give people money and they spend it, you can bet that it increases inflation even if the total amount of stimulus is very small.

However, you're right that there is bureaucracy involved in the lending business and it can be a bottleneck.

No, the fact that this can be done in a library and looks like a native language feature demonstrates the power of C++ as a language.

This example is demonstrating:

- First class treatment of user (or library) defined types

- Operator overloading

- The fact that it produces fast machine code. Try changing big_uint32_t to regular uint32_t to see how this changes. When you use the later ubsan will introduce a trap for runtime checks, but it doesn't need to in this case.

When we bought a home, mowing the lawn became my responsibility. I knew I could look at it as a chore that needs to be done but eventually a task that annoys me and could make me bitter about the whole thing.

So I decided to learn all I could about lawn maintenance, which tools I need, and how to use them. And it became a point of pride for me and a challenge rather than a chore.

So mowing the lawn, the very act of it, is now a joy and something I look forward to. All my work (de-thatching, aerating, seeding, fertilizing, watering, pH balancing, edging, etc) pays off when I mow the lawn now and it makes mowing something I look forward to and never have to be bothered to do.

It was a shabby lawn when I took it over and now it’s a thick, lush carpet that I enjoy very much.
2021-05-07 CDC Update: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-br...

Excerpt:

## Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from inhalation of virus in the air farther than six feet from an infectious source can occur

With increasing distance from the source, the role of inhalation likewise increases. Although infections through inhalation at distances greater than six feet from an infectious source are less likely than at closer distances, the phenomenon has been repeatedly documented under certain preventable circumstances. These transmission events have involved the presence of an infectious person exhaling virus indoors for an extended time (more than 15 minutes and in some cases hours) leading to virus concentrations in the air space sufficient to transmit infections to people more than 6 feet away, and in some cases to people who have passed through that space soon after the infectious person left.

Per published reports, factors that increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection under these circumstances include:

- Enclosed spaces with inadequate ventilation or air handling within which the concentration of exhaled respiratory fluids, especially very fine droplets and aerosol particles, can build-up in the air space.

- Prolonged exposure to these conditions, typically more than 15 minutes.

In other words, public transportation, restaurants, and modern energy efficient office buildings. Imagine what it would take to get a year of vacancy to upgrade the air handling before it was time to return to work. Oh, oops.
I prefer the science fiction alternative: black holes are made by intelligent beings. The reason none of the numbers make sense with respect to dark matter and inflation is because life is actually actively altering the Universe.

Supermassive black holes accomplished two things: (i) they captured vast quantities of resources for future use; and (ii) they acted as gargantuan propulsion systems, thus allowing any captured matter (what we would refer to as a "galaxy") to be directed far, far, far away from any/all other captured matter.

And thus ended the great intergalactic war, which brought about the end of the homogeneous Universe, ensuring that no single civilization could ever start such a widespread conflict again. The distances would make it so.

Life was the big bang.

I mean, it's important to remember that the racist segmenting of the industry (again, mostly the fault of the sellers not the artists) never really went away, it just changed in a lot of ways. So there's the difference between "Rock n Roll" the sound, and "Rock n Roll," the product.

As a sound, it pretty consistently stays there, though perhaps not as crisply defined. Prince, Michael Jackson, and later Run DMC et al. But for a very long time, those artists are explicitly not given space on Rock n Roll stations. Later on, these same stations would go on to explicitly and openly denounce hip-hop, but the play Beastie Boys, and even EMINEM.

What's really interesting is early Hip-Hop on this; how it very consistently both sampled Rock-n-Roll, but also frequently explicitly "hated" it. Not too hard to see why this division happens, given the disparate treatment (i.e. hip-hop comes out a little after most of the Satanic Panic has died down. Rappers get treated as "scary" for basically just being black, RIGHT AFTER and in the face of rumored blood rituals etc etc.)

Ask HN: Calendly alternative, pay what you use
I am thinking of an app similar to Calendly, but you don't have to pay it monthly. Why?

it becomes too expensive for many users
maybe you don't use it for 2 weeks because you are in a holiday
you don't use it in weekends
you have only 2-3 meetings per day
Why not to pay only for booked meetings? Let's say you pay 10$ for 100 (just an example) meetings (credits) for unlimited period.
If you are a company you just pay for a number of meetings(credits) and you can add unlimited users. Every time a meeting is booked within your company, credits are used.

What do you think? I am targeting people that would like to use Calendly or an alternative, but it is very expensive to pay every month or they don't need to use the tool too often.

Thank you,

Same here, Ada2005 for the port. The simulator was originally written in Ada95. Part of what made it even less fun was the data was highly packed and individual fields crossed byte boundaries (these 5 bits are X, the next 4 bits are Y, etc.) :(
You're insisting in a red herring that tries to misrepresent the actual problem and the whole point of this discussion.

The whole point is that memory costs money, and the more memory you require, the more you pay.

AWS Lambdas is a clear example that demonstrates this, but is not an isolated case. This is the case for all cloud providers selling VM time. All of them.

Even bare metal providers charge you more for more memory.

Isn't it clear that if your app requires more and more memory, that comes out of your pocket? Is this something that really warrants a debate?
