Great concept, congrats on the launch. I am Swiss myself and I know first hand that (non-Ikea) furniture is very expensive and good interior design advice scarce and even more pricey. There is a clear trend towards an asset light lifestyle, so renting furniture definitely makes a lot of sense. I would particularly use this service for an investment property (buy to let). Lots of success with Pabio, I'm sure it'll be a home run.
No it doesn't limit it, because that single instance class can also do JNI and manual memory management without exposing it on the public interface.

I know C++ since 1993, have delivered C++ into production at CERN and Nokia Networks, and also taught it at the university to first year students.

So what do I know a bit about C++ productivity versus other languages.

Now if we start talking about GPGPU programming, HPC or writing device drivers then it is another matter, there is where C++ shines and will keep doing so for the foreseeable future.

CERN is definitely not going to rewrite HLT in Java, in fact for some units not even C++ was good enough, and the code is actually implemented in FPGAs.
Because old people are generally gross?

As 42 year old your comment sounds to me like the one that people not wanting to rent a flat with someone that has a black partner is perfectly fine because they might not want to meet that kind of people.

Some older men are interested in younger women. And some younger women are interested in older man. Assuming that this automatically means they have character flaws worthy of ostracism is very prejudicial.

> We expect co-workers to get back to us right away so that WE are no longer blocked.

Perhaps you do, but I and some of the people I’ve had the pleasure to work with do not.

Personally, I’ve almost always worked asynchronously.

If I have a question, I send it on the proper Slack channel and either keep going on what I was doing if isn’t blocking, or do something else when it is. Tasks are usually large enough for that.

Regarding Slack interruptions, all my notifications aside from a handful of phone numbers are disabled.

Things rarely are urgent, and can usually wait an hour or even until the next break.
You can approach it with generics.

They cling to the water surface alone. They cling, they don't "stand" on it. Their whole shell and body is inside the water, and the shell hangs from the body, which is firmly attached to the surface. If I disturb the surface they fall to the bottom.

This is a very common behaviour of pond snails. Just search "snail water surface" on google to see many pictures of it.

The beetle seems to do the opposite thing, though. It is buoyant so it floats to the surface, on which it stands and walks with its legs as it would do on the ground. The air\surface interface is very strong for small critters.

Erm.... I've literally seen fights start and end with one headbutt.

I'd suggest there's a bit of us all "talking past reach other".

I have no doubt that anyone who thinks they can end a fight by a headbutt, finger break, or groin kick without learning to trade punches and kicks and to grapple, would be in serious trouble. I'd also say that anyone training only sporting, rule-governed elements of fighting is in a great position compared to someone who has zero experience, but will encounter some very unexpected situations when a bar brawl kicks off.

So how about this: we're all right and wrong in some measures, depending on the context? :)

When I was selling SANs, the conventional wisdom was RAID10 for production/performance stuff, and RAID6 for archival/"colder" storage. Plus an external or offsite backup, as you said.
Ideally a RDBMS can also be a NoSQL DB. There is no reason it can't/shouldn't, if you have JSON-formatted columns.

Mostly the noSQL pattern is a mistake because you almost certainly have columns that recur reasonably frequently, but if you do have high-dimensional data or want to store processed documents/etc, you can represent them as a JSON/JSONB in postgres/etc, and even run indexes or queries on them.
This type of language is real slippery though when we start applying it to subjects and ideas that are not falsifiable.

I think when you apply this in that context you will inevitably end up with digital authoritarianism.

I would say it is pretty trivial to increase the centrality of nodes in a network of non-falsifiable "true-tellers" with standard propaganda techniques. All the techniques from print/radio/tv work way better on digital networks.
What would be the point of saying something that everyone would agree with, in a forum filled to the brim with people who don't really understand the topic and have no real power to influence it? That'd be boring, unilluminating and nobody would have a chance to get much out of it.

It is better for everyone to have something to argue about while trying to decide what is and isn't true.
VB is everywhere in many life science companies as Office companion (yes VB not VBA).

It is not managed by a secondary team.

With a few exceptions, every Visual Studio tool targeted for .NET development also does VB.NET.

The enterprise developers, those that Hanselmen calls dark matter developers, are more likely to use VB than F#, then leave and do something completely unrelated to work.

Maybe that isn't being strong, but it gets the job done.

There is absolutely phase change (and associated heat of vaporization energy) involved in humidity/water vapor (which is a gas) condensing into liquid water.

I don't see how make is at a disadvantage with relation to other tools with embedding. No build tool is easily embedded in a project that uses a different build tool.

And I've used make on Windows for years and years, so not sure why that is a problem?

I don't think this is disputed that the original goal of SQL was a flop. The designers grossly underestimated the technical chops of a layman. However, I would argue that us tech people did benefit from that original goal of simplicity. I mean, SELECT first, last FROM employees WHERE id = 10 is not too bad at all. Kind of elegant, no?

If SQL was designed "by engineers for engineers", you would be using esoteric Git commands just to blow off steam.

Thats why it bugs me to see e.g. linux desktop inanely adopting mainstream interfaces instead of focusing on steeper learning curves that come with high rewards. Dumbing down technology also leads to dumbed down users , and now we have already a generation that is struggling to use any tool that is not a touchscreen. Thankfully some technologists are starting to wake up to the fact that dumber isnt better (or maybe they ve milked the dumbdown cow to the end) and that we need more capable tools even if they re hard to use (e.g. this interview of Palmer luckey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epy8UVZilmA&t=990s)
Not for me. For the entire world. It is the entire planet that is paying the price. And the price is utterly overwhelmingly large, and you are forcing them to pay this price while getting nothing in return.

Shouldn't those Bluetooth issues be fixed by PulseAudio 15?
I would recommend trying the pomodoro method: 25 minutes of work, 5 minute break away from screens, repeat. 30 minute break after a few cycles.

I’ve discovered I’m much more in touch with my mental and emotional state and even a five minute break will really relieve some of the pressure you put on your mind and body. Also because it’s just for 25 minutes anyway, it’s much easier to get started again, even with unfun work.

Edit: In case you’re worried this will make things worse, because of the regular interruption, I’ve found it to not be so bad with the exception of some types of debugging. The mind is pretty good at mulling over the problem while you’re taking a break and often I’m more effective afterwards. But the 25/5 isn’t a hard requirement and should be changed depending on preference and type of work.
Thank you! Good luck to you too ))

Young women are sexually attractive for the reasons you state, and I do think that some older women resent the attention that gets, but there's more to it.

The difference in maturity means it's harder to relate. I personally wouldn't want a young girlfriend, despite finding them sexually attractive, because I could not imagine trying to share my life with them - our interests would be too divergent. I think there's a real risk, when one party in a relationship is much less mature, the other party may have an unbalanced or unhealthy set of interests - interests that may end up hurting or harming the less mature party.

I think it is an argument for patents. The point is that before we had legal protection of ideas, knowledge was hoarded, because it has value. Trade secrets, guilds, possibly explosions! Secrecy basically.

Patents change that equation. So while their existence slows down innovation while they are in operation, after they expire society as a whole has gained that knowledge.

I'm not arguing that the patent system isn't horribly broken in all sorts of ways. Just that they are fulfilling a purpose in not forcing inventors to go to huge lengths to keep information secret.

> Cargo is wonderful, but having something that user-friendly and well designed in C would feel incongruous with the rest of the ecosystem.

You really did say this.

Cargo does get some flak from C and C++ build systems. It is definitely not perfect, but which build system is?

The coolest thing about cargo is that it can be and is significantly improved over time. The whole dependency resolution was improved to resolve some long standing issues lately in a backward compatible way and that’s just astounding that they managed to ship this.

Do I like cargo? No. Do I like it better than CMake Meson Bazel Auto tools and make files? Hell yeah, by far, I’d rather get shot than go back to cmake or Auto tools .
You appear to have previously to be laboring under the misconception that latent heat (the heat required to condense water in gaseous form into water in liquid form) didn’t exist or that humidity isn’t gaseous water. My comment was directly responsive to whichever of those misconceptions was underlying your comment above.

That’s why I gave you the term, in an effort to show you politely that you were wrong enough that the HVAC industry has an entire term specific to this concept and that suggests that it’s more than a rounding error.

It appears that you at least now agree that water in gas form is condensing into liquid form (which requires the removal of the heat of vaporization [what science calls it] or the latent heat [what HVAC calls it]).

Incidentally, we know that amazon hires such people from math and econ departments for big bucks.

Attrition is good for exploration and against other "stagnation" phenomena (textbook March/Levinthal early 90's). And if you are willing to throw aboard any ethics, then a "usable period" (pre burn-out) for some percentage of workers is a pretty good boost to performance.

A secret focus list is probably some "well" thought out mechanism (as in mechanism design) tuned precisely to kick out x% of people while setting incentives to self-identify (slackers vs. normal workers vs. workaholics) by generating uncertainty or ambiguity, thus generating some ideal workforce distribution: people who are doubtful are incentivized to just leave right away, people who are extremely competent are moderately pressured, people who are willing to grind themselves into dust for amazon do "okay" for as long as they are useful, and "normals" are retained probabilistically to the degree that their contributions are needed that quarter.

Build systems are harder and more complicated and messier than user of build systems understand.

Say a group of smart engineers start designing the perfect build systesm.

Usually there is some sort of design constraint added for correctness that works for, say, 99% of projects, which seems like a good tradeoff. Until it turns out that openssl is in that other 1%.

Or maybe the build system assumes everything can build from source, which maybe works for 90% of cases, forgetting that proprietary vendors often ship prebuilt binaries.

Or maybe the build system is written in <actual scripting language>, which means <actual scripting language>, written in C, now needs a different build system. Also, <legacy OS> doesn't have a compatible version of <actual scripting language> available.

Or maybe the build system requires a lot of boilerplate to support the typical project structure of <large organization>. Instead of having verbose build recipes in hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of projects, <large organization> just sticks with its legacy custom build scripts.

The fact of the matter, CMake is pretty good. It lets you do basically anything you need to. It has basically no dependencies to build and use it, so it works anywhere. And it has extensibility that's actually fairly rare in build systems.

Anyway, my theory is folks see the downsides of some tradeoffs CMake made (awkward basic DSL) without appreciating the upsides (available everywhere), especially because they don't realize "works on my project and box" doesn't cut it for maintaining projects in the C and C++ ecosystem. I'll be bold enough to predict that the build systems of Go and Rust will be just as complicated if they ever need to start supporting things like juggling BLAS versions.
Single board computers like the Raspberry Pi and microcontrollers like Arduino above all have made this type of hacking far more affordable. While it was possible to use the parallel printer port as a makeshift user port replacement it came with the baggage of an entire desktop or notebook machine taking up space, using power and making noise.

Optimize your pub crawl with openrouteservice (2018)
You inadvertently stumbled on precisely the point. TFA isnt exhibiting a sense of entitlement the OP complained he was. TFA is instead making fun of it.

OP thinks complaining about the company's terrible behavior and complaining about the lack of M&Ms are more or less the same thing and that if you are bothered about the former you should quietly quit coz hey, not everybody gets sushi twice a week.

I'm not defending privilege. I'm attacking the notion that you should STFU and fuck off when you see injustice because YOU personally happen to be comfortable.

To port it to another context, for instance, Oscar Schindler could have given up his privilege (he was quite privileged!), quit his job and begged on the street for scraps of food and many would have honestly argued that if he was that bothered by what he saw that he should have.

Should he though?
"At least in Europe" is the important part; British influence made it the lingua franca by 1900 or 1920 in South and Southeast Asia, eastern and southern Africa, most of the Mashriq, &c &c. (To this day local varieties of English in many of these places retain Britishisms.)

But yes, AFAIU English has only really become the Big One in the EU in the last 50 years or so.

It's certainly happening in China. Regional dialects like Cantonese—which you would still hear routinely in American Chinatowns—are slowly being replaced with Mandarin via the school system. These dialects are not yet lost, but within a few generations they may rarely be spoken. Why would they be when everyone learns Mandarin in school?
Eventually new languages would be created. Why? Because everyone wouldn't iterate at the speed or even the same direction.

Mix drives and manufacturers. It is much more likely to see clustered failures if you buy all your drives at once, from the same distributor, and they're the exact same model. Conventional wisdom says you shouldn't do this for either hardware or software RAID, and I wouldn't do it with hardware RAID, but why would you use that anyway.
The only issue with this concept is that when everyone use a proprietary solution and you are a marginal, it is very hard for you to have support.

If everyone you know is using zoom and WhatsApp, they will not use signal and jitsi just for you, so you will be forced to use the proprietary tools.

Think about remote school and trainings for example ,here you have zero choice.

And in the past, we saw the case with Linux where it was very hard to have support for hardware as manufacturer did not care at all about Linux.

For such a case, scaling is an important factor to be able to use your open source software. Sadly.
There seems to be some confusion here. I don't think anyone is proposing that we shouldn't be able to communicate meaningfully with people totally unlike us. Knowing an additional language doesn't have that effect, believe it or not.

The view of language as "the way we move our mouthparts", a protocol for transparently transfering ideas is simplistic. Even if you ignore or discount linguistic relativity, languages have political and aesthetic functions.

Take a rhyme, for example. It can't easily be translated accurately because the language used is itself part of what it expresses. There's no simple onion model with distinct, unleaky layers for natural languages where words are a protocol and thoughts are the content; that's a reductionist misconception on your part.
To me a lot of OSS already has a disdain for the "lowest common denominator" type of users, and this article has this vibe.

You don't have to "growth hack" and beat $1T companies, but don't use that as an excuse for ignoring usability. In OSS "simple" more often means "works for the maintainer" rather than something that's actually intuitive and usable for the majority of people. If you only have a handful of hardcore users, because everyone else failed to run the software, and was told to read the (barely existing) manual, that's a problem with the software's design, not scale.
