Well I can say most of that is hit or miss, and some just downright wrong. Crazy Wildfires is the only correct issue here, lol.

The actual Hospitals and Doctors in America have always been hands down better. Its only if you can afford it. Really any top tier Silicon Valley job is going to come with pretty good heath insurance. The Subpar Healthcare is more or less a poor person problem. Nothing like destroying net worth like having to go to the doctor with sub par insurance. Getting 3-6K+ in bills over a few nonsense visits.

Like I said before I wouldn't move to America either. But to think the EU isn't a$$ Backwards in many ways would be an understatement. I lived in the UK for 3 years, and like most of Europe school system is a hit or miss depending on location. Private Schooling is not uncommon in America for that reason.

This in part is why Americans in higher level careers (family's with income of 120K+) tend to retire with more money in their retirement accounts than their EU brothers. Nearly all my Fellow successful 30yo's had over 50K in their 401k when they turned 30. The ones that didn't are ones that will most likely always jump around to different entry level jobs.
The observation from Sturgis is different: cases were low and went up again after the circus had come to town.

That shows that travel spreads new variants.
To me, lossless is mostly like organic food. It's about knowing that its origin is pure, even though I can't really taste the difference.
> which makes me wonder: is it simple enough?

Obviously not given Go was never simple in the first place. Go was built to be easy — for a certain value of easy.

Simple tools are often not easy, and simple programming languages are definitely not easy: they tend to be built out of a small set of very powerful concepts which are directly exposed to the language user, said language user has close to the power of the language designer in building abstractions. Lisps, and Smalltalks and Forths are simple, which means they are mind-bending and not only can you build what you want out of them (hello turing equivalence) you can build how you want.

And of course the simplest of languages (the turing tarpits) are barely usable at all.
Don't be pedantic. I'm arguing in good faith here, typos are possible.
Yes and it never fails to propagate world wide despite the restrictions.

Given that, what is your issue with the USA allowing vaccinated travellers, who are tested before boarding a flight, from entering the country?
Roughly: if there’s one job per person in the field, and for each opening there are 100 applicants, it will take 100 applications for the average person, on average to get hired.
This is not a new idea. There's been plenty of debate and cases about whether FOIA applies to surveillance footage. Generally the raw footage is subject to FOIA requests, but any inferences are probably not.
And what purpose have you given it? Do you have any theoretical uses?
I take a different take here.

Juniors write a lot of code. Often significant amounts for a company's products and services. They're the ones who are implementing all the decisions that seniors spend their time making in all their meetings.

Most senior engineers I've seen have most of their days filled with meetings with very little actual coding time.

The seniors are valuable, making decisions, coming up with solutions, building frameworks etc, but it's the juniors who then take that and run with it and build everything on top of it.

So while some will still code, it's far less than what the junior engineers are creating.

Yes they require some more training, and clear direction, but they are the ones actually creating and executing the vision of the company informed by the seniors.

What companies really want, like others have said, are senior engineers who are willing to accept a junior salary.
I do something very similar and it works quite well for anyone except fresh grads (I've a different variant for them).

I pose a situation and introduce the v1 code. They look for bugs and propose fixes. Then I add on a new feature, and they look for more bugs. I've maybe 4-5 levels overall each having different classes of bugs, some of more or less subtlety. Fits on one whiteboard / single piece of paper in the end.

There are no syntax errors, just logic. Errors are in categories like: robustness, failure handling (internal or external), data/thread races, unforseen side effects, etc. The more experienced you are, the more problems I expect to be found. A "I don't know" is just fine (and often the following discussion is MORE informative).
This is way off topic (and I apologize) but it’s remarkably hard to learn about classical music. Would you do me a favour? I’m a classical neophyte and struggle with composer/orchestra/conductor fit. Can you recommend any combinations that I need to hear??

Thus far, I think I like baroque and Bach makes me happy. I’m starting to think I love opera but I might just have a thing for Maria Callas. However, I’m open to any and all recommendations and will love the hell out of anyone who recommends anything. I prefer vinyl but I’ll buy an 8 track if it helps.

(Whenever I’ve asked HN for help, I’ve ended up with new favourite recordings of all time. Thanks to all the classical music lovers who have really enhanced my life throughout the years.)
I suppose I could have, I'm not 100% sure he was paying attention to me

either way I ended up getting a cooler job somewhere else so maybe it was a good thing in the end
I am curious to better understand to what extent Apple’s scale allows them to focus on Building The Best Music App instead of the race to the bottom type incentives of competitors like Spotify who are now trying to Build The Best Way To Capture Your Time Through Audio Content.
Good thought! I don't have enough understanding of Ghidra to attempt this myself I think, but it looks like it is already on the radar of the Ghidra folks: https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/issues/2477

Sounds like try-catch handling is not implemented in general yet, but is on the cards.
How is limiting the amount of time a Chinese child can play online games worse than barring me from buying Diablo as a teenager? If people are acting comfortable with authoritarian government, it's because we grew up under a quite similar one.
> This hasn't turned me off of monadic error handling, but it has made me think of it as FP's version of exceptions, rather than an upgrade.

This reminds me a lot of Java's checked exceptions just with different window dressing. You move the failure mode type information from the exceptions list ("throws" clause) into the return type.

Typed error return values is definitely an improvement in ergonomics over C-style error code returns, and pattern matching is definitely a big improvement on ergonomics too, but I think error handling has a problem of fundamentally irreducible complexity. For example, if you make network calls, you have to be prepared for network calls to fail, and you have to design your system to recover from it somehow, whether that happens in a try/catch or a match on Either[Throwable, Result].
Temporary and mild authoritarian measures during a once-in-a-century pandemic make complete sense, even to very libertarian people. The U.S. has a track record of such measures being temporary, such as the much more extreme measures taken during WW2.

Comparing this kind of thing to what China is doing is drawing a false equivalency. There is no legitimate comparison to be made.
This is a fallacious line of reasoning that is incredibly vulnerable to slippery slope and moving goalposts.

While the saying is true that "your right to swing your arm ends where my nose begins," that argument falls apart when you try to apply it beyond one-on-one interactions with direct consequences into group generalities and indirect/indeterminable consequences, such as "creating a more dangerous environment."

It does not allow you to prohibit things, nor compel others, out of a feared or perceived potential for harm. That reasoning leads straight to 1984's "freedom is slavery."
I can easily imagine how it went down.

"Wow! I can do so much with so little!"

"Everything you just generated is wasteful and meaningless."

The right way is to encourage that enthusiasm and guide them toward doing more useful work with the same power they just discovered.
Afghanistan, A Military-style Rescue Operation, Conducted by Private Citizens
The argument feels like survivorship bias. Yes, there are always new opportunities for good fortune, but there also is a constant stream of potential pitfalls and mishaps.

One should not let the constant stream of social media and other arbitrary data provoke an irrational fear of missing out.
With this project being so small.. impressively of course. Does this licencing type interfere if someone can separately come up with some similar methods and processes, legitimately without referring to this project.

If it was the be enforced, it seems it would be extremely hard to enforce given the limited methods such an os And features COULD be implemented within such a small space.. Or have I misunderstood completely.

As an analogy.. Being able to license the most efficient way electrons and protons can vibrate at a certain frequency seems unenforceable..
School is the most garbage area to foster socializing children. Not only is it in a controlled environment, but it has nothing to do with learning how to engage with people on a personal level outside of work.
That's only because the EU had finished a lot of its deforestation by the advent of the industrial revolution.

One of my personal favorite examples of exception handling was a small GUI app with a single top-level exception handler at the event loop that displayed an error message and continued.

That application was extremely robust. You try and save a file and 100 different things could go wrong (network drive unavailable, file is read-only, etc) but it nicely recovered and you could see what the problem was, correct it, and re-save. One single exception handler for the whole app.
Not intended as a simulationistic game at all, but one of the funnest multiplayer asymmetric ship combat games I ever played was Subspace, or now, Subspace Continuum[1]. In some game modes you could "join" another ship in the 2d universe, manning a separate set of guns, while the primary pilot flew around & blasted as usual. It was a force multiplier, a blast joining a huge floating blob. But also, all it took was a couple well placed shots & your whole blob was toast!

There's also Guns of Icarus[2], where you are a crew member on a flying steampunk airship. You move around between stations, which let you pilot, shoot, repair systems, which does have more of the asymmetric break down of responsibilities. It sort of feels like you're playing a FTL character, in a 3D, steampunk, desert planet environment.

Overall I think there's a lot of interesting opportunities in asymmetric gameplay, in exploring how to game together by creating different roles that have to collaborate.

I have two app/websites ideas, one is a way to track your food and alert you when your food can spoil ( and sugest recipes with what you have in your house )
And a learn helper website/app that will give you paths to learn thins and register, track and help you through this process
The first one is on the planning side, the second one already have some pages written in python/django
Would love a citation where this was actually litigated.

Edit: And to be clear here, I'm not doubting you, I am actually quite interested in software license/copyright litigation. Having had long discussions over which is better "BSD" or "GPL" and discussing the litigation of the BSD vs AT&T established some solid case law on both the legitimacy of, and the way the BSD license was viewed. But for a long time there hasn't been good litigation of the various GPL flavors that actually went to court and came back with a decision that was appealed and affirmed. Would love to add such citations to my collection.
Heh, yes, I tried a more useful link, but no one looked at it. :/
I'm no more or less comfortable with authoritarian government than I am with an authoritarian market-based corporatocracy.

Odds are that you are under an NDA which limits your freedom of speech. Odds are that if you refused to sign one, you couldn't afford a mortgage in a place with a lot of tech. Odds are you will sign more NDAs so your kids can keep going to the same school. The freedom of no regulation is an illusion.

Companies will keep making what sells, even if it's bad for you. Without regulation, video games will become more and more addicting. Without regulation, companies will keep running advertising, even if ads harm culture and the overall economy.

To manage all of this, we need a better system. I, for one, am excited about countries trying something different. The CCP seems to be implementing a lot of measures which stand to increase overall quality-of-life, from limiting stress on kids, to workforce stress, to limiting unhealthy activities. I'd like to see how that plays out.

As a footnote, I'd even be excited about a fundamentalist Muslim government in Afghanistan, if it wasn't expansionary, and if people were free to emigrate if it was't working for them.
Because we interview for CS and not software engineering? Software engineering is at the very least requirements understanding, customer empathy, resolving ambiguity collaboratively, and on a more technical side class/interface design, maintainability, tradeoffs, testability and finally the implementation. What we test for is 3 leet code in an hour and oh asking too many questions shows lack of independence! Worse interviewers often have a different interpretation of interactions as they present the candidate at the hiring committee!
"reference types" is a very specific concept from a specific category of languages: types which are always heap-allocated and sitting behind an invisible (and un-interactible) pointer.

But Go doesn't have that distinction, and has actual pointers you can use directly. A map is just a heap-allocated structure sitting behind a pointer.

If you create a type which is a pointer to a struct, sure you can say you've built a reference type if you want, but that doesn't actually say much to anyone, because that's not a distinction the language makes, unlike Java or C#.
I don't believe you. Did you register as a voting citizen? What's your immigration status? Got any proof of this at all?
I've always found Collapse believers to be composed of mostly people from highly developed Western nations. From what I've read online, many of these folks cannot visualize a world where their society/nation may backslide in a couple aspects (e.g. government corruption or infrastructure standards), but still continue to function mostly normally. Most of these folks have never seen rampant political corruption, low hygiene standards, political instability, broken/lacking infrastructure, or general unsafety that often comes up in developing nations. The West _is_ going through a lot of change/political soul searching right now, so it's understandable, but I highly suggest visiting developing nations to see how everyday people live, succeed, and thrive despite many problems around them.

Even the historic concept of "collapse" is ill-defined. It's widely accepted today that the Western Roman Empire (probably the most written-about "collapse" event) didn't really collapse at once as much as it slowly changed from within and without. Is this "linear collapse"? I mean maybe, but it may just be the process of change itself.
As software developers/ engineers we love talking about this issue... but realistically it's just a symptom of the growth in our industry.

Anyone who pretends you can accurately assess a candidate in 3 hours worth of interviews is lying to themselves. The only real way to know if someone is good is to work with them and get to know them over a long period of time. I wrote a little bit about this here: https://jonpauluritis.com/articles/a-better-way-to-hire/. Practically speaking this means the best way to recruit is via "networking," but networking takes a lot more time than posting a job advertisement and having someone solve some leetcode questions.

I learned about contracts and hiring people when I was a 9 year old running a lobster fishing company with contractors haha.
30 minutes? Not even an hour? I'm a senior and I need an hour to work my way through deep questions (not just technical) to see what real-world experience the candidate has while simultaneously judging cultural fit. I prefer an hour and a half to allow time for the candidate to feel more comfortable and come up with their own questions.

I definitely agree with the taking risks part. Hiring should not be about the most talent or experience, but the best mix of qualities (including their own personal goals) to fit what you're hiring for.
This is the only way if also if you're into underground i.e. dance music. Private torrent trackers are the only way to acquire vast swaths of music, many of which was even quite popular at the time of its release.

Also helpful are YouTube, SoundCloud, and if you want to listen to contemporary music, things like NTS radio.

It makes me sad that young people today growing up on Spotify simply cannot find out about most of the music I grew up with, or most of the music that excites me coming out today, unless they go "off road."
EU citizens for sure will be allowed to return, as it has been throughout the entire pandemic. Same generally with EU permanent residents.

There may be quarantine or other obligations however.
When I see anecdotes like this, I better understand why Mozilla is moving away from about:config. A thousand variables makes issues far more difficult to debug.
To make this more concrete, the money printer moment in the US is when the federal reserve (central bank) buys the treasury bonds. The cash spent is recorded as a liability, and the bond as an asset in the balance sheet. The cash is created out thin air.

It's all far more complex than needs to be, as PP says.

I like to imagine some Feynman diagram situation where electrons and positrons can spontaneously emerge in pairs. The circulating money and the debt in the central bank balance sheet are the complementary pairs.

The "quantity of money" is a non-concept because only the "net charge"---which is 0 (!) in theory---is preserved.

-----

The older mechanism is the treasury department making coins. The treasury department doesn't have any sort of corresponding "debt" written down when it does so. This is where the "trillion dollar coins" idea comes from.

I suppose the net money is not actually 0, but whatever it was when we came off the gold standard? Who knows!
they can, they just haven't since the native Music app in iOS 6. but in the streaming era, yeah, you might be right.
There's nothing wrong design-wise with your approach, IMO. I've seen several people (including very well-known C++ personalities) argue that exceptions should be used for X and error codes for Y, but this is just convention.

C++-wise, you probably want to catch std::exception and "..." too.

Finally, you said that there's two types of exceptions and only one of them is supposed to be reported to the user, but in your code you seem to report everything to the user. You should edit your message to clarify what you meant.
https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations says "Only 1.6% of people in low-income countries have received at least one dose" and there are some quite populous countries in the graph that show low vaccination rates.
By definition, within Earth's evolutionary history, we are about the dumbest possible animals to achieve sapience. Perhaps similarly, our universe is one of the dumbest possible configurations to support our kind of life?
They always were and for me they seem like they were put in place by people that never travel like the “regular folk”. I traveled between two EU Schengen countries this year in April. Before this you would get off the plane, get your luggage if you have one and get out, really fast. Now, we were around 400 people from 3 planes all in one small non ventilated hall of the airport , waiting to get our tests checked, QR codes scanned and temperature checked. People were rubbing next to each other, loose masks, masks on chins, masks under the nose, people coughing and so on. Because there were so many people, they were randomly checking the test for some. In total we waited over an hour there. How did that make any sense in the current context, I don’t know.
Nit but bandwidth isn’t related to memory capacity. Bandwidth is a function of cache/access pattern and is independent of total memory size.
TLDR: The underlying mutational rate of SARS-CoV-2 may be substantially higher than previous estimates which were based on assaying the rate at which RNA changes appear in the population.

> In SARS-CoV-2 we find evidence for common intra-host purifying selection against nonsense, missense and synonymous mutations, such that the true underlying mutation rate is about 50% higher than would be estimated if one assumes that the mutation rate is the rate of appearance of mutations in the circulating population. This has implications for methods to determine mutation rates, for determining times to common ancestry and the potential for vaccine escape.

Yeah, that's probably a large part of the reason why pivoting data is such a pain in the backside.
Tight.
I see where you're coming from. Good points.

I was taking it for granted that knowing the location of an unmanned, expendable sonar buoy or probe before you're discovered is not tactically important.

Now that you have me thinking, it would clearly allow you to stay out of detection range if you had the good fortune for their pings to initiate within your detection range but outside theirs.
I don't even know where people are coming from any more.

Like literally everyone else in tech who knows how the sausage gets made, I'm appalled by the teams of Ph.Ds which exist solely to exploit the dopamine response of children. However, it never would have ever crossed my mind to jump from "here's a particular problem" to "the government should control how much of a specific activity your child can do at home"

Has some intersection with this case
(forgive me since I did not read your reference) but I recall there were some studies showing that the "health benefits" touted by the "glass of wine a day" studies were strongly correlated with:

- being middle to upper class (can afford a glass of wine daily)

- having good self control (drinking one glass of wine a day instead of many)

which are both good health outcomes
Elaborate on what? Rust or the pragmatism stuff?
Of course it always makes sense to own recordings, but I find it either ludicrously expensive or unimaginably boring.

Going by my streaming history, if I owned the recordings I listened too I'd have a full CD shelf for the late Beethoven Sonatas. The same again for the Concerto's, perhaps two for the Symphonies. I've just spent £150 at IKEA just to hold the basics of Beethoven, before I've even got the CD's!

Of course the alternative is to only listen to my 'preferred' interpretations, which is the unimaginable boredom. Zimerman's ballades are too dry, Perahia's too wet, Horowitz's too unorthodox, Ashkenazy's too uneven; but I'll listen to all of them again and again and again. I'm not picking a favourite here. I'd forget Chopin before I pick one.

Finally, so what if my streaming service comes and goes? I just go somewhere else.
