There are two problems here, one being complexity, the other being abstraction power. The two correlates. C is an easy language without much complexity, but with laughably little abstraction power. Text-based macros are the worst thing ever, and other than that, the language can’t even express reusable data structures, only with convention.

C++ on the other hand has good expressivity that can better deal with complexity of programs (eg. just simply having string, vector, etc) at the expense of some added language complexity. But unfortunately most of that is due to backward compatibility.

My opinion is that program complexity is inherent for anything interesting, so the C++ tradeoff is worthwhile. Also, by sticking to a good subset of C++, one can minimize the “bad” complexity of the language, imho.

Reddit has a MASSIVE security vulnerability with their AMP pages and I really hope they get in trouble for it because of how much they shove it down people's throats.

It's possible to visible quarantined or even banned subreddits through their AMP pages. From there you can still view deleted videos and other content through the autoplay "previews".
I think I need a more concrete example. In many distributed networks, you can add a new path to it, and if that path is cheaper, then neighboring entities will (gradually) adopt it for cost savings. So if I developed a way to transport material between Seattle and NYC more efficiently, a bunch of individual actors will gravitate toward using that route. In a distributed system, I wouldn’t need any external approval to do that, and other participants would be free to choose to interact with me: it’s not political so much as it is markets.

Is your claim that any improvement to the system will inevitably conflict with a centralized authority — like a regional government that has to approve commerce or land use? Is your argument that it’s a political problem because it’s not, actually, distributed?
You can show pretty clearly that the earth is round to anyone who's somewhat reasonable and is willing to understand an explanation of the math, but proving that an ancestor of the virus was never in a lab at any time between being in animals 30 years ago and now is pretty hard.

Cwtch is an important word in Welsh, like hyggelig in Danish or koselig in Norwegian, etc. It's kind of a "national identity" word, you see it on tourist souvenirs.
How so? They're still offering it to me, just on a different IP. I fail to see how that becomes unethical. I'm accessing information they publish to the public at large.
Exact same scenario but it was connected to the on premise data center. I was imaging devices and figured why not use a switch and provision 4 at a time. Started seeing everything go down figured the network team was doing things. Checked my images and they had stopped, unplug a cord and everything is working. I don't think anything of it and plug it back in and went back to waiting for the images to deploy but the storm started. After about 5 hours customers started receiving their electricity after the network team found my device.
There's also the 'lint-staged' NPM package if you want to do pretty much anything only on staged files.

There was once someone who knew.

It did have a useful purpose at one point for expert users, technicians, and engineers.

A large group came along chanting "What does it mean?" louder and louder until it was a thunderous war-cry.

The one who knew was trying to shout the answer but he was whispering in a tornado.

Then, someone else said loudly: "I don't understand. Let's just get rid of it."

Most everyone said: "Yeah! It's useless!"

No one listened and now that that understanding is lost like the Antikythera mechanism and Damascus steel to the sands of time.

You don't need a hack for this; the whole point[0] of having footstep sound effects is that the player can detect the location of the audio sources playing footstep clips.

This is such a unlikely thing to happen that it is likely a fault in software that is used to validate this.
In my projects things are arranged in terms of class, and dependencies are injected to constructor using dependency injection. Then the requirements of mocking the dependencies during unit tests bolis down to mocking parts or whole of the implementation as well as recording those method cqlls. The spy implementation is based on that philosophy and is therefore simple, straightforward and tiny.

Old versions of MacOS get about 2-3 years of additional security updates. So if you bought a 2017 laptop with a 7th gen processor, you got 8 years of support from 2017 to 2025. Unless you bought Surface Studio 2, which is $3499 from Microsoft and comes with a 7th gen chip so it only gets 4 years of support. If you bought a 2013 MacBook which just got cut off at Big Sur, you'll probably get supported to 2024, or 11 years.
It's almost like maybe you should care and speak out about Palestine and Bengladeshis in Qatar and Rohingya and Yemenis and Uighurs.
Yes, I am aware of that and do care for justice but am afraid to talk abour it IRL to be honest. To be publically acused of antisemitism for being critical to Israel could be a real nightmare Im not ready to go through. I am no antisemitist, on the contrary, some of my favorite people are jewish. Am I a coward? I think so but I have a family and want to hold onto my job. Here on HN I am not afraid to comment because this account is not tied to my real identity.

Ps There is one think I do which I know is directly connected to this. I boycot Israeli food products, mostly grown on occupied lands. The inpact is close to nil but it’s the most I can do at the moment.
What was the point the author tried to get across with the first paragraph bringing up the large whitespace commit? It didn't add anything to the story, it just ended up as an initial distraction.

Also, is he implying that thousands of commits (one for each file) would be a better way to convert that large code base? Why not solve this problem with the right tools, such as ignorerevs?
Decentralized vs Centralized is the competition. Cross platform is a goal, but, I believe, user privacy comes first for Cwtch.
You’re conflating colonialism with modernization. They are not the same thing. Of the G7 only two countries are colonies, which shows that nations (and the indigenous peoples of North America were indeed nations - engaging in treaties, sending diplomats to Europe, etc.) are able to modernize with being subjected to colonialism. It is absurd to claim that indigenous nations would not have modernized without the “benefits” of colonialism.

It is also absurd to claim that “aboriginals” lacked access to hot water until European settlers showed up. I think some reading about the accomplishments of the native societies of North America would be beneficial.

There could have been a fruitful and mutually beneficial exchange of ideas, technologies, ways of life, etc., between Western and indigenous nations when Europeans made contact with native Americans. Instead what took place was genocide.
Most of the negative views on this app appear to fundamentally misunderstand how highly introverted people socialize. I know several highly introverted people. Having something automatically start a conversation for them which they can then engage in themselves would be very helpful. Especially for people who have social anxiety. My take was never that this app was going to socialize for you, but rather would initiate conversations for you which you could then finish yourself. There's nothing wrong with doing that...

It’s editing the genes of the cells of the liver, so presumably when those liver cells divide and multiply, the change would also be copied along as well.

What isn’t clear to me is that if this is targeted at the liver cells in particular, or splicing it for every cell in the body. In other words, this could be a germline mutation (passed to children) or it could be a somatic mutation (no change to future children), it depends on how targeted the treatment was.

Unless you have nation-state level resources I don't think that's a question you can answer for certain. You can inspect the source code, but then you have to trust the compiler and underlying hardware as well (a la "Trusting Trust": https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/358198.358210)

Looks like I was right, you're clearly so emotional invested that you've failed to notice how you just repeated what I wrote... but with greater verbosity and the kind of angry tone that makes an opinion so easy to dismiss.
The sad part is that you can get called an anti-Semite (or self-hating Jew) for expressing any sort of solidarity with Palestinians. The sadder part is that actual anti-Semites then jump in and use that situation to further their agenda.

This argument is common, but I've never understood how a dynamically typed language is supposed to avoid coupling algorithms to data structures.

When using a data structure, I know what set of fields I expect it to have. In TypeScript, I can ask the compiler to check that my function's callers always provide data that meets my expectations. In JavaScript, I can check for these expectations at runtime or just let my function have undefined behavior.

Either way, if my function's assumptions about the data's shape don't turn out to be correct, it will break, whether or not I use a dynamic language.

It seems that most of the people who make this argument against static typing are actually arguing against violations of the Robustness Principle[0]: "be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept".

A statically typed function that is as generous as possible should be no more brittle against outside change than an equally-generous dynamically typed function. The main difference is that the statically typed function is explicit about what inputs it has well-defined behavior for.

>automating your interactions with them with AI

It does not do this- it either notifies you to talk to them if you haven't in a while, or it automatically sends a single message to start a conversation.

Note that I don't necessarily agree with this. I simply have a mental list of friends who I currently am keeping in touch with and every once in a while check up on the ones I haven't spoken to in a few days.

Why is it troubling?

If you take a picture of something in the sky and you cannot determine from that picture if it's a bird or a plane, why is that a problem?

The real problem starts when you have multiple reliable sources that this thing behaves like a Superman.
It isn't about knowing what's best for you, but what's best for others. So where ethics come into play is when what you're seemingly doing to yourself could actually have impact on others as well.

For abortion, you can claim it impacts others both ways, are you impacting a new born from having its life, or are you preventing a yet to be born child from having a troubled life, and saving family, parents and society its burden.

For a vaccine, are you putting others at risk of a disease by not taking the vaccine?

For bio-hacking, are you possibly creating dangerous virus or bacterias that could harm others, are you making modifications to yourself which will put a tole on the medical system if you later need assistance or special treatment if you mess up, etc.

This is the same reasoning with drugs often, will your modified behavior cause harm to others if you consume them?

Etc.

None of this is black and white, but I think having these discussions on "what harm to others it can cause" is justified.
USA population density is 6.6 acres per person, or 37 people per square kilometer. I’d far rather my family be in a more expensive larger home on 25 acres (with prospect of self-sufficiency) than jammed into a large building with X # of strangers and no land.

Funny thing is, that “more expensive larger home” isn’t more expensive - it’s on par or cheaper, even with the land. Blows my mind that urban dwellers think paying equivalent of my mortgage (on a 2400sqft house) for a couple rooms is reasonable.

Building big may be more efficient, but that’s not what occupants see in their rent bill.
Yeah, it's a business, not a charity.

People don't start businesses because it's cute and fun. Reddit needs to turn a profit or demonstrate ridiculous growth, and it seems to be working.
I think the consequences of being introverted, asocial, hesitant, distracted etc are part of regular interaction. Just because we can be connected with 10k people doesn't mean we should be. We also don't currently have the capacity for broadband bidrectional intimacy. The way parasocial relationships have bloomed is owed to infinite friend lists.

Also, people gravitate towards what is meaningful for them. I think that some people find it meaningful to feel that they're disconnected. I think that loss and disconnection is a part of life, and while I admire efforts to connect, we have limits. I think it's important for those (and this includes myself) who are asocial to acknowledge this aspect of themselves and accept the consequences of their persona.

Last, I think that scripted or automated interactions inherently devalue interactions. A huge part of having relationships lies in the effort to connect. This is why "Welcome to Costco, I love you" is a joke. It also neatly defines the flawed scope of this app. Because of that, I declare that this is a CRM app, not a real life relationship app.

Isn't it common in US to work less than 40 hours/week?

In my country most companies offer 35 hours/week jobs, the country's average is 33 hours and it's illegal to work more than 48 hours including extra hours, but I know that in countries like Germany, the Netherlands or France is less than 30 (Germany is 26 if I am not wrong).

It's mostly public jobs and white collars here, I work as a software engineer for a large insurance company and the standard insurance contract is 33 hours a week, I have a different contact and nominally I should do 40 hours, but working from home I do about 30, full salary (nobody checks the hours anymore).

During the pandemic I had no chances of going on holiday, so I kept working and I still have 40 days of paid vacation left from 2020+2021.

It's pretty standard here.
Reddit wants pictures to make a bottomless well of content. Your question is a speed bump causes people to stop scrolling.
Yeah, I've been using Python's gradual typing for a while. It's not perfect, but I'm excited for the possibilities. But the real test is to see what it's like on a large, long-lived project, so I'm keeping any open mind. I figure if that doesn't work fully, it'll still be a nice step toward things that can be pulled out as isolated services.
As a conservative former Muslim: As long as Palestinians chant “from the river to the sea” and tolerate Hamas any talk about a two state solution is a joke. By not rejecting Hamas, Palestinians make themselves a military problem rather than a civil rights issue. You don’t give civil rights to people who are military threat.

This isn’t a point about morality, but the simple reality of nations protecting themselves. If you don’t have military superiority then scrupulous non-violence is the only alternative.

New Zealand is a bad example to use, given that it's one of the few cases where settlement was based on a non-coerced treaty intended to actively integrate the native people as equal citizens with the settlers. While the NZ government later spent about a hundred years ignoring the treaty and treating the Maori badly, the treaty itself, the process that led to it, and the actions of the settler leaders at the time of its signing had a legitimacy that most other cases of colonization and settlement (including that of Israel) have generally lacked.

> The entire doom source code is likely smaller than a single grand theft auto save file.

Just checked, "linuxdoom-1.10" (https://github.com/id-Software/DOOM) is 1.26 MB, my GTA save is a little over 500 kB. The GTA save files are actually quite small, likely because most things in the game world are emergent behavior of the game's systems and aren't permanent state (like in e.g. TES games, which are notorious for large save files, as well as save file corruption bugs due to "oops we didn't think saves would grow bigger than 16 MiB!").

That actually makes it more impressive, since the GTA game world is the result of all these systems working together to create a "living, breathing world" indeed, versus what you see in most other open world games (most recently: CP2077).
In that case Israel should follow New Zealand's example and allow all Palestinians to become citizens, with full rights, stop being an ethnostate for Jews, stop with the racism and start behaving like the progressive country they pretend to be.
