I'm not sure what you're getting at. The distance by itself isn't particularly meaningful, the speed traveled + distance is.

Amtrak is quite slow. Jetliners are ~4-8x faster.
Thank you, I'll look into it today.
Can you help me understand the key difference here between this and Pacaso (I think from one of the Zillow founders)?

Education cannot be optimal because it cannot be individual. Whatever you do you ll leave some behind. At first sight I d tend to agree with you, but the disjointed education I had in a French school, where each subject is its own universe made me less utilitarist, made me accept philosophy and chemistry dont work in concert to make me a better tool but instead broaden my horizon to let me think on several modes.

If I speak english today it s not because it was deemed useful to understand computers when I was 12, it s because it was its own little science, important because of its own beauty.

Sometimes, you have to make kids understand there is no optimum or rule, just the joy of knowing more things.
Thanks a lot to you for writing such an awesome library! :)

This is briefly how I use C++ Allocators with the ESP32 and Nlohmann/JSON (GCC8, C++17 mode):

I have a series of "extmem" headers which define aliases for STL containers which use my allocator (ext::allocator). The allocator is a simple allocator that just uses IDF's heap_caps_malloc() to allocate memory on the SPIRAM of the ESP-WROVER SoC.

I then define in <extmem/json.hpp>:

namespace ext {
using json = nlohmann::basic_json<std::map, std::vector, ext::string, bool, long long, unsigned long long, double, ext::allocator, nlohmann::adl_serializer>;
}

where `ext::string` is just `std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, ext::allocator<char>>`.
In order to be able to define generic from/to_json functions in an ergonomic way, I had to reexport the following internal macros in a separate header:

#define JSON_TEMPLATE_PARAMS \
template<typename, typename, typename...> class ObjectType, \
template<typename, typename...> class ArrayType, \
class StringType, class BooleanType, class NumberIntegerType, \
class NumberUnsignedType, class NumberFloatType, \
template<typename> class AllocatorType, \
template<typename, typename = void> class JSONSerializer

#define JSON_TEMPLATE template<JSON_TEMPLATE_PARAMS>

#define GENERIC_JSON \
nlohmann::basic_json<ObjectType, ArrayType, StringType, BooleanType, \
NumberIntegerType, NumberUnsignedType, NumberFloatType, \
AllocatorType, JSONSerializer>

I am now able to just write stuff like the following:

JSON_TEMPLATE
inline void from_json(const GENERIC_JSON &j, my_type &t) {
// ...
}

JSON_TEMPLATE
inline void to_json(GENERIC_JSON &j, const my_type &t) {
// ...
}

And it works fine with both nlohmann::json and ext::json.

In the rest of the code, everything stays the same; I simply use ext::json (and catch const ext::json::exception&) as if it were it's default version, and it works great. FYI, I'm currently using nlohmann/json v.3.9.1.
My experience with Apple store is also similar to the experience described (actively making false statements, in my case about a laptop logic board).
You can also just not connect it to the internet.
AnIdiotOnTheNet said a lot of what I'd say, but one thing I'd add is: to lose the ~90 lbs that I did, I had to realize that I would just be hungry for a long time. If I had listened to my normal hunger impulses, I would have kept all of that weight on or gained more, so it meant I had to get really comfortable just being hungry. A lot of meals left me unsatisfied, but eventually your stomach adjusts to the quantity of food you start eating. That doesn't mean, however I didn't get hungry throughout the day. Drinking lots of water and coffee helped in this regard; when it was especially bad, I was drinking a lot more water to keep my mouth busy

One last thing I'll add is that impulse control is 1000x easier with good sleep and the weight seem to come off a little faster when I was well rested

Perhaps instead of "control kessler syndrome" I should have used "mitigate" to be more clear in what I am saying. I am not merely implying that SpaceX wouldn't cause it to profit from it, but that they would actively try to avoid it and not let it happen through inaction. (Perhaps they would work toward solving it if it looks to be progressing quicker than anticipated and SpaceX seems best poised to tackle it)

Also a not-so-relevant nitpick - I wouldn't call Elon charismatic. Perhaps in a room full of engineers he may be. Nevertheless I still applaud him for learning how to be more personable in the corporate world.

Agreed, the first two videos were more captivating in their window into Musk's technical thought process (during which I took notes!) and the current SpaceX developments. The third struck me as a unique look into his everyday dealings while at the same time driving home how important he feels the entire undertaking is. The tone is different in the 3rd one. Much more of a serious message in contrast to the euphoric geekery in the first two.

There are a few different dimensions here. Note that I’m in the US and have experience specific to larger entities.

For you conducting any personal business on work devices, it is pretty easy for employers to get tools that can detect and even capture that activity. That ranges from grabbing files on the device to periodically or continuously recording screen content.

For conducting personal business on work services, that is trivially searchable with O365 or Google Workplace. Some industries (banking, finance) are required to retain all mail and sample it for policy violations. Sometimes contractors are roped into doing this by contract terms. Sometimes dating coworkers becomes a problem when you communicate on work systems in unexpected ways — anything you do is essentially public.

For conducting business on personal devices, employers cannot generally search through your content. (Unless security or other products are present — for example Crowdstrike or similar EDR tools will log most executable launches) But, if evidence exists that you use personal stuff for business and there is a litigation event or investigation, you can be compelled by a court to turn over your personal gear. That risk depends on what you do for a living and for who. (For example, a government employer may have an inspector general with police subpoena powers, if you are a decision maker in a company, a civil suit may focus on something you said or didn’t say)

All-in-all, the best policy is to keep work away from your personal business and vice versa within reason. The meaning of “Within reason” depends on your circumstances. The issues for a unionized white collar worker at a factory are different than an at-will financial analyst at some big bank.
I have a preference for the on-device scanning + e2e Photos. The overall security seems higher, assuming Apple's claims about photos only being scanned during the upload process are true. (If I don't trust Apple to be telling the truth about that, it's not like I could trust them to not already be scanning all my photos, so...)

Why would you do that when searching for crocodiles?

Octopuses are probably intelligent enough; it's lifespan and teamwork that are the issues. An octopus works out how to use tools, and then… that knowledge goes away. No future octopuses will ever build upon that.
I think you’re confusing “regular expression” (RE) for “deterministic finite-state automata” (DFA).

“Regular Expression” is just the name for the grammar/formal language model that REs present. REs are a useful way to encode DFAs, but not all things that can be expressed using RE formal-language are DFAs.

Some REs (i.e. the “Perl-compatible” or “extended” Regular Expressions) are Nondeterministic Finite-state Automata or “NFAs”. This doesn’t change the fact that the language used to express them makes them Regular Expressions.

Continued, sustained discussion predicated on the phrase itself rather seems to disprove your point, doesn't it?

Additionally, from the link:

> Bennett explains that exceptions are made to the use of phrases, that would otherwise be considered thought-terminating if they are used in addition to evidence or strong claims.
You completely missed my point. Both my examples were when a function returned an object, and the caller has no idea whether that object ever null. It has nothing to do with parameters.

For what it's worth, I completely disagree with your point. Optional arguments are there to set default values. Default values are so useful that even Rob Pike went through some efforts to use them in Go[0] after refusing to have them in the language.

Good point about exchanges with Monero. (It's also on Coinbase, of the others I listed.)

The "private by default" criticism is misleading:

- While this is important in a design which mixes your transaction with a limited set of other recent transactions, in Zcash the privacy set is all of the shielded transactions ever.

- It's not a "default" technically, it's a choice of transparent and shielded, both of which are useful. "Default" is a wallet UX question. I think the latest reference wallet auto-shields things so you don't have to remember to shield what comes in from a transparent transaction.

atleast the barrier of entry for a new cryptocurrency is very cheap, compared to opening a new bank.
I was an early adopter of their service and I've noticed the quality has gone down hill the past year or two. About the same time they went public. I'm not too surprised to hear of internal issues.
I don't think anyone likes advertising, but that does bankroll the internet. There are some great content providers on youtube who do that full time and make a living from it. Even many basic sites owe their existence to advertising because running a server is not free. But the joke in on the advertisers. Internet advertising doesn't work, or at least that is what I have read.

If we hadn't had advertising but instead came up with some micropayment formalism, I bet the internet never would have developed to be what it is today, even for today's content that is not ad driven.
Don't you also need to buy a phone/computer/tablet to use whatsapp or signal? How does whatsapp is cheaper than facetime? But anyway, yeah, I noticed Facetime's both video and audio calls have better quality, in my personal experience.

> While Pornhub would not tell me how many moderators it employs, I interviewed one who said that there are about 80 worldwide who work on Mindgeek sites (by comparison, Facebook told me it has 15,000 moderators). With 1.36 million new hours of video uploaded a year to Pornhub, that means that each moderator would have to review hundreds of hours of content each week.

So, this article alleges that MindGeek only hires 80 moderators to monitor million of videos being uploaded each year despite taking in 460 million dollars in revenue? That's pretty damning, if true. It's little wonder so much is getting through.

You refer to the amount of problematic content as "microscopic" and "vanishingly small", but on what basis do you believe that? On one hand we have an article filled with some pretty horrific examples of abuse being broadcast on PornHub, on the other I guess we have your gut feeling about this whole thing?

> Thought experiment, what happened to piracy when Napster shut down? What would adding subscription options and regulating Napster have done. Would it have created spotify a decade earlier and disincenvtised the development of Gnutella, bitorrent etc?

I don't even know what you're trying to say here. Sites like PornHub already adopt a model that fairly closely resembles Spotify when you think about it. In any event, it sounds almost like you're making the argument that a little child abuse is just the price we need to pay for innovation. No thanks.

c# in Depth (4th edition) is also a good book for data dumping how things work in c#, though I think it only covers through c# 8.
The reason some creators use OF is because of the convenience. If you make it takes weeks and tons of work to get on the platform, they might as well start their own site.

Also from a legal perspective it is very risky to take on that liability for so many creators. All it would take is one screw up on checking date of birth on an ID, and now OF is accessory to sex crimes.

Exactly this. I WANT to see all those pictures friends and family are posting of their kids going back to school, or of their dog doing whatever. That is the point of social media, to someone keep in touch with the goings-on of family that lives far away. I actually like to read their personal opinions and thoughts they write on things, even when I disagree with them. (its interesting to see things from others point of view) But I wish I could just block everthing that someone 're-shares' since lately, its no different than the huge email chains your great aunt used to foward in ALL CAPS about how if you forward this to 10 people Bill Gates is going to send you money....

And where do you think FOSTA-SESTA, the legal troubles and the sudden shift of mind from payment processors comes from? Do you think they randomly started to care out of nowhere?

At a high level, yes companies are being forced by payment processors and legal troubles, but if you dig a bit deeper, it almost always trace back to christian fundamentalist lobbyists such as Exodus Cry
Ask HN: Resigning with no job lined up?
Hello everyone, After 4 years at my current workplace I'm thinking of taking a 2/3 month break with nothing lined up, and then try to move to a higher paying company. I'm interested in reading your opinions/thoughts on the matter.

Info about myself:

- Been working in South America for 4 years in a software factory that works for US clients, I currently make around 40k USD a year. I mostly work using Rails/Elixir/Node

- While I'm not THE rockstar developer I consider myself rather competent. I would also use the time off to prepare for interviews, skill up and maybe contribute to an Open Source project.

- I have savings to last me for around 2 years, although I wouldn't expect my 'unemployment' to last that much.

- While I'm comfortable at my current company, I feel like my growth has stunted and removing the safety net might be a way to get it back in action.

Would now be a bad time to do it? Is it stupid to quit without having another offer already?
Would you mind mentioning the name of that brand? I'm currently looking for a TV.
> But whatever the reason, I often find the working relationship that someone on a sales team has with their purchasing counterpart seems to be on a more equal and mutually respected footing.

Isn't it expected?

When someone from sales talks to vendor, they usually want a sale/purchase. This means that both parties want the conversation to happen.

When someone from engineering talks to vendor, this is usually because they want to to get their job done, but vendor's product is blocking them (if the vendor's product is working fine, what is there to talk about?). So one of the parties does not want the conversation, and is only forced there by circumstances (either failing product or management decisions).

It is no wonder such conversations are very unequal.
I saw a post on social media awhile ago about dumb TVs available here:

I haven't investigated fully but they don't mention WiFi or YouTube support on the few products I checked.
not just pornhub but from all their other sites too. huge amount of content vanished
Let's look at this from the reverse angle:

Did PornHub have revenge porn, child trafficking, etc. on the site? Yes. The twitter thread concedes this point. So this isn't "just a hit piece with unverified out of context accusations". Is that fair game to report on? I'd certainly say it is.

If you're going to publish a potentially explosive article about something, is it better or worse to reach out to sponsors, partners etc proactively to get their reaction in the published piece, or should you surprise them with it? IMO the former makes sense. To suggest that these sponsors would somehow not be at all affected if a reporter didn't call them up doesn't match with reality at all. We've seen too many viral boycotts to count at this point.

> They've done this numerous times not even giving those accused to respond

Well, how long is long enough? If you were required to wait for someone to respond before publishing it would be a fantastic stalling tactic, wouldn't it? You could just keep putting it off and off.

The problem here, IMO, is twofold: there is a payment processing duopoly, and societal mores are still very puritanical. These are the cause of the problem, not the article. Yes, Kristof wrote an article that resonated with those two factors but what's the alternative, not publish controversial stories that might have a negative effect?
> Also, this sounds like a security disaster waiting to happen (I also know people without a passcode on their phone)

Some of the corporate phone stuff will require a passcode of a certain length. When I was in this position, I had two phones, but the corp phone stayed in my bag, mostly off (would use it for tethering for work incidents when out of town, and as a backup 2fa device), and I ran corp email on my phone until it got too ornerous (outlook for android ate my battery life and/or was impossible to auth with); then I only checked from the corporate laptop, but outlook for macos would drain my battery in standby, so I couldn't leave it running and forgot to start it.

OTOH, I was established with seniority, so I could do whatever. I'm not sure a new hire could do whatever; especially outside of my group where we didn't really accept the corporate norms.
A flaky battery is unpredictable; it’s likely that it will boost “sometimes” but not other times. And that “sometimes” will probably not even be able to be locked down to a simple model of having precise conditions where it works or doesn’t.

For example, the battery might be able to boost if the phone is cold, but not if the phone is hot—or vice-versa. It might work to boost for one long boost (i.e. the battery test), but then not be able to do it again for three minutes after that. It might take several tries (pulses of demand) to get it going, and then work. Etc.

Think of a flaky battery like an engine with a bad/clogged carburetor. What pattern of starts does it take to get the engine to turn over? Without seeing the gunk inside the carburetor and doing a turbulent-flow model, you can’t really say.
With that kind of information publicly available, they'd have a hard time getting people to join the network!
