"Unspecified behavior" means something correct will happen, but you don't know what (in that case you can't rely on the execution order). "Undefined behavior" means something entirely incorrect may happen (crash or totally unexpected and bad behavior, so the term "nasal daemons" which means dragons coming out of your nose).

In my opinion an outright ban like this is the only way to begin to make the internet a net force for good again. The high profitability of exploitative data collection creates a perverse incentive for businesses, which coupled with unfettered capitalism(in the US especially) has led to the current situation with Facebook, Google and others; sacrificing privacy, personal freedoms, and even democracy itself on the altar of ad revenue.

This is also a rare window of opportunity where the Democrats control both chambers of congress, making such a ban at least somewhat feasible.

Damore said that men are better engineers than women. That is false. It is also incompatible with an organization that tries to be diverse and inclusive. That's the main reason he was fired.

Getting fired for insulting your co-workers is not censorship.

In society today, we have a "paradox of tolerance". If we tolerate everything, then we tolerate people being intolerant, and many people in our society will suffer. So we must be intolerant of intolerance. This is the only way to build a society of equality and justice.

It'll take another 10-20 years or so, until we likely have sound evidence, whether the conclusion drawn from modern monetary theory - that forever growing national debt is not in itself a problem - is reasonable or not.
Either we'll see that there's no problematic level of inflation or we'll see that there is too much inflation causing instability.

If somehow the evidence suggests that growing national debt is indeed a fundamental problem, then maybe some governments will be forced (by voters' will or by peer pressure) to ...

Everyone is replaceable, this is fact and people need to recognize this fact

However even roles where the skill set is filled by more people a good worker, that shows up on time, has few absences, performs the job with limited errors, and has higher productivity then other members will be valued more by the company, and (in a non-union setting) often be giving more wage increased, promotions etc

In a union setting however none of that matters, everyone is on the exact same contract, and the pay is often determined by tenure not performance.

Doing this if you are intentionally trying to protect or hide your origin is effectively guaranteed killing on the origin. For example, if Cloudflare unproxied one of my subdomains I'd leave them immediately, and likely have to change all my infrastructure and providers due to attacks.

This is also a terrible idea because of ACLs/firewalls only allowing traffic from CDN (this is extremely common for things like Cloudflare and Akamai) and relying on the CDN for access control.

The Future of Nothing
Getting into the FANG interview process doesn't seem that complicated, recruiters reach out to most developers / graduates on LinkedIn. Passing it requires learning a specific set of skills.

I would say the bar is pretty much the same for all FANGs.
If you were able to pass Amazon you could have passed Facebook or Apple.
I see people that apply to multiple FANGS tend to pass some of them. Once you put in the work to learn those exercises (which is a lot, don't get me wrong), failing them or passing them becomes a matter of luck (the right set of exercises, the right interviewer).

As to how this translates to intelligence - I personally don't care if a candidate is able to pass a FANG interview or not (I've seen plenty of bad employees who were FANGs or ex-FANGs and plenty of geniuses as well), but I definitely will think of them as being driven individuals who achieved what they set up to do.

Incidentally the best employees who made a difference in the companies I've worked at were, incidentally, never ex-FANGs, just talented individuals who decided to put in the work.
Yup. Other than perhaps some badly thought through, greeting card-level platitudes you could maybe make a half-arsed argument for, like: ‘memento mori’, ‘maybe it’s good to look at the bigger picture sometimes and not obsess over trivialities’, ‘over-specialisation is not always a good thing’ etc. there’s little of any substance or original thought here. Isn’t it odd how his peculiar (and glaringly transparent) obsessions and worldview is seemingly eminently justified and ‘moral’ while those of the people who differ from him he deems wicked? Sadly there are many examples of similarly pronouncedly pompous public prosletizers and pundits who at best are just indulging in shallow faux-academic self-pleasuring (in a desperate attempt to legitimise their pre-existing private or political views/cosmogonies) and at worse are eventually outed as blatant hypocrites (I wonder whether he has a portrait of himself that he keeps in the attic? :)… Every paragraph practically drips with deep loathing for the proles/non-elite’s free access to information and education and disdain for their hard-fought for right to self-educate and better themselves...

Well, what happens when you call func(A, B) if both are pointers in C?

Or if we take an Algol derived language, like Pascal or Modula-2, func might have been defined as,

begin
end;

That's because climate change is still not proven after 30 years every model every prediction is almost ultimately turned up to be wrong or reversed yes the Earth is changing natural History shows us that it does that very rapidly whether or not we caused it or not is still the issue.

I can't speak to your personal experience, but picking on Germany - for a relatively small incrase in GDP spending on healthcare (11.7%, compared to the UK's 10%), Germany has three doctors per 1000 population. The UK has two. Germany has three times as many hospital beds compared to the UK. France has fairly similar numbers to Germany.

50% more doctors, and 3x the number of beds - I'd call that a whole lot better.

It's not deniable that the NHS is "cheaper", and I have not tried to do so. I am saying that the quality of care is not sufficient, and may even be less efficient than other (more expensive) healthcare systems.

Edit: The Euro Health Consumer Index puts UK healthcare at 16th out of 35, putting it below all of the "tier one" countries in the EU. You certainly can't argue that the NHS is providing comparable healthcare to countries like France and Germany, for a lower price.

As for the "Wales can only spend what Westminster gives them" argument - the Barnett formula assumes that the average taxable income to the government per head is the same across the UK. As this is not true, it actually results in relatively more tax revenue going to the nations (like Wales) than the taxes those nations raise, per capita (yes, I know you can make arguments about which expenses the central government defines as "local" and "national" spending, etc etc). Welsh Labour has squandered huge amounts of this money. If anything, I am in support of each nation only having access to the tax revenue that it generates, as that would very starkly show just how under-performing the Welsh economy is (and I say this because I want it to be better. Knowing what the problem is is the first step to fixing it.).

It's easier to type pure text, but I'd bet taking notes in a math or physics or biology class would be way faster using a pencil than a keyboard (even more so when excercising your math) - you often need to jot down diagrams and complex multi-line equations. The 2d nature of real paper is completely lost with the 1d abstractions of the keyboard.

Thanks, appreciated that information about doping. It sure is a tricky subject in weightlifting; someone actually relatively clean (ie doing their best to only take approved or at least non banned supplements) their entire life would likely be considered at a disadvantage?

Some are removed from reality that it might seem like a good idea. I believe them not to be too well informed though and much support stems from the fact that these people don't know what is done under their banner. Bipartisanship in the US heavily influences this too.

I feel like InfluxDB were the best time series database in town for some time (2015-2018?), but they failed to monetise and exploit the space properly, and now they have lots of competition, many of it better in a lot of cases ( e.g. speed, space use, ease of use, pricing, integrations), be it for self-hosted or cloud.

Some of it was wasted effort ( Cheonograf is still useless compared to Grafana, who thought it's a good idea to compete with it?), some was poor luck, some was decisions that backfired ( like removing clustering from the free version). Some of it was everyone deciding pull is better than push ( i disagree in most cases, but see the point).

Telegraf still remains a very solid collecting agent and IMHO the best in class. With everyone (from the SaaS monitoring vendors ) moving to OpenTelemetry i think that in some time it'll fall behind as well.
I'm impressed by the transparency and clarity of their explanation! Definitely makes me want to use their solution even though they messed up big times!

The funny thing is that nobody has ever once bothered to debunk a single one of my points in any of the comments that I've ever made against Elixir or FP on HN. I've written much more detailed points in the past. Only downvotes but no meaningful responses. Nobody ever properly responded to any specific point. The best I get is "No it's not" without any further explanation.

When I said that I've never seen any well written Elixir or pure FP project in my career and challenged people to send me a link to such a project on GitHub, nobody could do this.

All I've ever seen in pure FP is spaghetti code; full of dependency injections which make it difficult to follow the logic (where does that module come from?), global state store (no different from using global variables!) or state being passed around all over the code (traversing many files since components are not allowed to hold any state), etc...

Some ideas of FP are useful, but pure FP as a philosophy is rubbish.
I use "monarch".
Old man opinion here:

I really like grafana, personally I'd probably host it myself even now. (At all previous companies I did.) Its well contained and even with alerting its simple to set up and sync state (assuming you are using a hosted database, which can be expensive)

Where my opinion gets controversial: I dislike Prometheus, and I really don't like influx. I much prefer graphite.

Influx has higher temporal resolution, and an SQL interface (its the SQL interface I don't like)

Prometheus has a pull model, which I can see the appeal of, but I don't really like. But it deals with ephemeral metrics much better (however you need a gateway to cache the metrics, as they might not get pulled in time.)

The issue is that graphite's interface is much better for discovering and filtering/transforming your data. I'm not the worlds greatest SQL person, so I can't do that much complex stuff, I also don't know how to do maths in SQL well. With graphite I don't need to worry, all the functions are there in menu, derivative? yes, all the averaging? mostDeviant? yes.

Graphite made making graphs quick and easy, I don't think I can say the same for influx or prometheus. I know that all sorts of non technical people can use graphite/grafana. I'm less convinced that they can use Prometheus or influx as well without training.
In my handwriting, I always write x as the typed letter. The cursive variant feels very awkward for me. In my country, after primary school, we always use a dot for multiplication (or,in maths with single-letter identifiers, no symbol at all - a multiplied by b is 'ab').

This is just as meaningless.
An important difference is that in C it is usually obvious that a reallocation is happening while in the C++ stdlib, memory management is usually hidden (important to note that this isn't a design fault of the C++ language, but of the C++ stdlib, unfortunately the two are more and more entangled in newer C++ versions). Because of the fact that memory management is hidden in C++, I find claims that C++ is more memory-safe than C quite hilarious. If it works, it works fine, but if anything goes wrong (which is quite easy to achieve) it's much harder to find the actual problem in C++ than in C.
