The ontology of compilation seems to be the only thing people are engaging with regarding this blog post series here on HN, so I don't see why this series is on the front page every day when the discussion is so stale. If you want to talk about how compiling to C is or isn't compiling, save yourself the trouble, everything has been said already in the past week (including this thread):

This question was specifically targeted at the parent. People need a long term number when they're overseas because otherwise their home services 2FA doesn't work. People use GVoice or Google Fi because they need a US number. Ideally you don't want to switch sim cards for that purpose. So I'm more interested in the US.

another part in the "fully loaded employee" is the cost of supervision and organizational overhead. most contract labor is costed as if it was "material", neglecting these costs.

Are Polish people indigenous?

According to Wikipedia on Indigenous peoples:

"culturally distinct ethnic groups who are native to a place which has been colonised and settled by another ethnic group"

So, I guess, we would have been, if e.g. Germans had won the second world war.
The comments here are uncharitable. For some reason when someone posts a C++ project all the nitpickers come out of the woodwork. Is it as fast as simdjson? No but simdjson is read only. Is it as memory efficient as rapidjson sax writer? No, but it’s a hell of a lot more ergonomic. Is it “modern” C++? Yes it is, just open the source and you can see you for yourself. Nitpicking which standard is allowed to be call modern is silly. I’d argue modern C++ is a style or way of thinking. Would I use it for all projects? Maybe not but this is a good, high quality library.

Dear @nlohmann and contributors. Thank you for this library, I’ve used it in the past and appreciate your work and efforts.

This so-called “transitory inflation” is really starting to seem like it will parlay into full blown inflation.
And it wasn't enough power.

Economic development is largely built on increasing accessible power. We have alternatives to coal and oil now, but back in the 1900s we didn't.

Those are both made from dead trees, which for millions of years simply didn't rot; this simultaneously cooled the planet down, dramatically weakening hurricane patterns for all time until... now, while also storing millions of years' worth of solar power for our use. A lot of otherwise habitable planets very likely didn't go through that phase.
Minecraft was this for my kids as well, but the big surprise as far as "virtual playgrounds" to me was how incredibly social the games on Roblox are.

I'd (to my detriment) kind of written off Roblox as really shallow, but the overall ecosystem of games pushes things in fascinating directions.
I really wish Dokku would embrace docker swarm like caprover. Currently they have a scheduler for kubernetes but the docker swarm scheduler is indefinitely delayed [0]. It’s like the missing piece to making Dokku a real power tool for small teams.

Currently, if you want to scale Dokku horizontally and aren’t ready to take the kubernetes plunge, you have to put a load balancer in front of your multiple VMs running Dokku and that comes with it’s own headaches.

For that I already have OCaml, Haskell and F#, so why bother?
Indoctrination: perhaps it is, but I don't think so, since other people make largely the same distinction, as witnessed by a series of articles on wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth-generation_programming_l...). Although they have a slightly different definition of 4GL than the one I used.

Ultimately Turing-completeness means there is no difference in what you can achieve with various languages. What matters are other things: the convenience of getting the work done, performance, etc. In my experience Pascal and C++ really do differ significantly, with C++ allowing you to automate a hell of a lot more than Pascal would.

I disagree that GC is a more meaningful step forwards than, say, structured programming - this is something that is now so pervasive that it is no longer recognized for the revolution that it really was. GC is just one method of freeing memory, but it's not the only one; C++'s RAII does the same, and tracks any resource you care for, not just memory. I totally agree on the importing though. Arguably vcpkg has been a game changer in that sense.

Programming 20 years ago wasn't all that bad, really. Figuring something out usually meant reading a book. There were fewer useful libraries around and they were less capable, but on the other hand, they also weren't as ridiculously complex as today's libraries sometimes are.

And I'll readily admit that C++ informs my comments ;-) I mean, I've been writing C++ since 1996 or so, and for most of that, pretty much full time...
Finding the Right Idea
On the contrary, with passive detection you don't have to risk tipping the person off to the police yourself, so it becomes even easier to frame people.
In C++ land "modern" has become synonymous with post 11. Effectively a domain specific definition. Reasonable considering the difference between pre and post 11. Pre and post 20 will probably be treated similarly in a decade
I don't think the problem is metaphor or analogy - both of these can be persuasive, and both of these can be used to illustrate complex things.

The problem is this particular kind of tech-messiah metaphor, assuming that mathematics is the only useful lense, over-simplifying everything and not even understanding what is lost [1].

Metaphors aren't the issue; metaphors crafted by people who don't really understand them are.

If this stuff is something you want to learn a bit more about, Matt Levine at Bloomberg has a great newsletter called Money Stuff which I highly recommend. Despite an expert level of understanding, he breaks things down in a relatively easy to understand say. He worked at Goldman as an attorney before becoming a writer. He goes through a few topics per day, writing about weird things happening in the market. Mergers and acquisitions and the hiccups along the way, market incentives that lead to odd and unintended outcomes, and probably his favorite topic, insider trading.

I don't disagree, but on the other hand, the web has taken many horrible standards, made them ubiquitous and used their collective intelligence and spare time to push them to places that no one expected.

This ironically demonstrates the absurd nature of patents in networked contexts, because not having patents made those things more valuable (to the world at large) since most of the value comes from the adopters and the ecosystem, not the specific patented spec.

JP2 would have had some niches that it could have grown from, scanned books for example.

Aphantasia: How it feels to be blind in your mind

I did it for myself, so I could put it on the front of the PDF, but I thought I'd share it here also.

As far as I am aware, the original book is long out of print, and second hand copies tend to cost quite a lot, if the rights have reverted back to Richard, as he says on his blog, then I'm guessing he's not getting any royalties these days anyway. That being said, I trust everyone here not to reprint the whole thing and sell copies at a profit!

>"Finally, advances in digitalization and AI for sustainable development27 promise to shrink implementation costs and logistical challenges for PCAs [personal carbon allowances]—and to improve personalized feedback, information and advice. Recent advances in smarter home and transport options make it possible to easily track and manage a large share of individuals’ emissions. Evidence from the roll-out of smart meters and informative displays can be used to design feedback that is highly effective in engaging individuals to reduce their energy-related emissions47. Furthermore, AI breakthroughs combined with very high ownership of smartphones will allow the low-cost development of new personalized apps to account for PCAs and trade personal emissions. For instance, machine-learning algorithms could be trained to automatically gather all the available information on someone’s emissions, and to fill data gaps and accurately estimate an individual’s carbon emissions on the basis of limited data inputs such as stops at petrol stations, check-ins at venues and travel histories. AI could be especially beneficial for PCA designs that also include food- and consumption-related emissions. Many voluntary smartphone apps can already capture personal travel and dietary behaviours for estimating carbon emissions and potential health consequences."

Good! Toyota has been sabotaging clean cars because they can't compete [1][2].

Most well known car brands have great electric cars now, but Toyota and their oil lobby buddies are trying to halt the progress. The decline of Toyota sales is good news for the world.

Toyota was one of the few (only?) companies to keep a large stockpile of chips on hand to continue production in case of a supply interruption. They kept something like two years worth on hand.

I guess 18 months of doing the extremely heavy lifting for the whole industry has taken its toll and now they're in the same boat.
It's is often talked about that way: Wikipedia at least defines it as a general price increase. And that still gives you many of the same effects as a money-supplu-triggered inflation. Many annuities are worth less. The dollars in a savings account are worth less. The minimum wage becames worth less...

The people who have been tasked with working with applicants to help them pay past due rent to make sure that they can stay in their home are not doing their job. They are inept. They do not take this responsibility seriously and do not respect applicants. It is not clear at this point how many outfits have been put in charge of these hundreds of millions of dollars in covid-19 emergency housing funds. What is clear is the reason why most of that money remains undistributed while politicians cry foul about some impending housing eviction doom. If the system is not fixed right now, doom there will be.

We do not need politicians running around trying to get elected on the same broken promises.

Bad government, and not Donald Trump as corrupt as he is, is what created QAnon and all of the crazy conspiracy theories and a rising insurgency and white supremacy.

This is a great example for the “Chrome is the new IE” debate: that’s a feature which would immediately make the web better but they held back support for a standard, hardware-accelerated format trying to force mainstream adoption of their own format which had limited tool support and never performed enough better than JPEG/PNG to be worth the trouble for most sites.
Spooky, maybe you were MITMed.
Inflation is just when prices go up, for whatever reason. Increased supply of money can cause it (and does more often than not), but decreased supply can also do that as it moves the price equilibrium. Unfortunately we have a bit of both at the moment, money supply shot up and lots of supply chains slowed down.

I remember reading this first time in early twenties - it was mindblowing. After several years I can say that many things I’ve expierenced, noticed and learned are mentioned somewhere along these lines.

‚One must permit his people the freedom to seek added work and greater responsibility. In my organization, there are no formal job descriptions or organizational charts. Responsibilities are defined in a general way, so that people are not circumscribed. All are permitted to do as they think best and to go to anyone and anywhere for help. Each person then is limited only by his own ability.’

My Recovery Through Psychedelics – Jesse Gould [Ayahuasca Therapy]
On this episode of Let’s be Blunt with Montel, Jesse shares with Montel his journey back from the brink of severe depression and anxiety through Ayahuasca therapy. Jesse Gould graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Economics. After graduating college, he worked briefly in investment banking before deciding to join the Army. He became an Army Ranger and served in 3 combat deployments. After his military service, professionally he went back into high finance, but personally struggled with severe anxiety and depression. He is the President and Founder of the Heroic Hearts Project, a non-profit dedicated to educating and connecting veterans to psychedelic treatment options.
If there are fewer goods, prices usually increase, as there is relatively more money chasing fewer goods.
Inflation is the rise in costs for goods.

If the supply of these chips causes a loss in supply of in demand items, like cars, then it will cause an increase in the price of cars.

The thoughts are that this is temporary, until the components that are in low supply can catch up and meet the demand.

But if the lack of supply lasts for too long then people become used to the increase price and manufacturers can just keep the price there at the inflated price. Now it's permanent inflation. Or that can happen if the supply doesn't keep up with the demand.

> It is reasonable to specify your domain closely, otherwise you end up with sqlite

It seems like you're trying to use SQLite as an example of something you don't want to end up with. This seems backwards so it weakens your argument. SQLite is one of the most widely deployed, reliable, broadly applicable and all round useful pieces of software ever written.
Now the real challenge would be to make it work from six feet under. ;)

I'm joking, but I wonder if I'm the only one who made that connection. Otherwise a different tag line might work better.

Apart from that I agree with the other posts regarding the business idea and choice of wardrobe in the demo.

I really like the idea of using your phone as a remote, I think this kind of I/O is generally underutilized. Personally I would explore that space some more, even though it's not as flashy as the gesture recognition.
Then that brings up the question; how is the private key backed up and does it need to be backed up? Or does the loss of the data on a system mean you start over for that system?
I expect it would be easy to compensate position (closed loop is already table stakes in the professional tier) and extremely difficult to compensate chatter. What would it take to drive the motors of a 5 axis CNC to responses well into the kHz? You would need that, to compensate chatter. You would also still need to handle the same peak force, whether or not you do it with negligible deflection.
