I don't think those namings are inconsistent. primitive types and abstract types are not structs, and it would be misleading to label them as such. structs and mutable structs on the other hand are.

So, using 'only struct' or 'only type' "consistently" would be more homogeneous, it would be, respectively, wrong and under-specific. I think it's good that the concepts of type and struct are separated like that.

Generally that's true, but some polities have started doing ranked choice voting, which may give third parties a way in: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_...

> Ranked-choice voting is used for state primary, congressional, and presidential elections in Alaska and Maine and for local elections in more than 20 US cities including Cambridge, Massachusetts; San Francisco, California; Oakland, California; Berkeley, California; San Leandro, California; Takoma Park, Maryland; St. Paul, Minnesota; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Portland, Maine; Las Cruces, New Mexico; and St. Louis Park, Minnesota.[1] New York City is the largest voting population in the US using RCV.[2]

It's not just business people. I have yet to find a task tracking system (Jira etc.) that lets you assign a range of points to a task.

People try and use nonsense like Fibonacci numbers to imply uncertainty, but then just add up all the numbers to get a number with no uncertainty measure.
I recall a strong strain of activism to get hacking as an interest as socially acceptable, along with opening up compsec to a wider audience, and getting gov/corps to embrace this instead of treating all hackers as criminals.

I'm sorry if it disappoints you that people 'sold out' and it might feel like something of the original 'underground' scene has been lost---I genuinely get that. But experts who put in the time deserve to be compensated and making computing more secure is something that benefits society.

It can make sense as a regional party, especially in states where one party is extremely dominant. But you don't get the president that way.
When writing code you have a mental model of the machine, and the language and libraries. Back in the day those mental models could be close enough to reality that writing bug free code could be a choice. It would take time but you can essentially run the program in your head.

This is an old timer, back when machines and abstractions were simpler.

The post makes sense in that context, but today you can't have a complete mental model of the thing you're coding. It's impossible. So bugs.

Maybe we need to simplify.

I can never understand people that have more than 10 tabs open :P When I reach that number I start closing. Seems to me just a waste of space and the whole tab bar is useless and messy (yes, I know about tab extensions).

People should really get back to bookmarks, thats what they are for.

Besides my usual bookmark folders, I have folders to hold temporary bookmarks (ToRead, ResearchSupport, etc...). These I know I will delete after going through the content.

But I wonder if the whole bookmarking thing got frozen in time, and is not sufficient for most people. Perhaps new features are needed in order to become more useful again and replace the whole "keep-tabs-open" behavior

Regular voters will basically always prefer ranked choice over approval imo, because they really want to be able to rank their preferences. A leftist who wants a green party candidate but will hold their nose for a Democrat doesn't want them to be "equal" in how they vote.
Right now a third party is a wasted vote so we need more than 3 national parties in order for them to be viable alternatives to the current two. The Forward party and Green Party could cooperate in order to make this happen, but that’s probably just wishful thinking on my part.
(Not parent, but European)

I think the issue is generally more how to get into the concrete in the first place.

I personally live in a skyscraper and have tried to drill into my walls and found out it's close to impossible without industrial equipment.

Every few months on the beginning of the month (when people move in), I can hear the furtive struggle of a drill trying to get into the load-bearing walls. How it starts off confident and then the torque decreases and decreases.
An interesting thing in these cliche apologies to notice is also the fact that they adjust their "number one priority" depending on the context.

Every single time a business gets hacked because they neglected security for their whole existence they say "our customer's security is our number one priority". Then they completely ignore security again for the next few years until the next time they get hacked and they make security their number one priority for an hour.

Singapore has mandatory national service for citizens and 2nd gen PRs. So many PRs I know or their kids immigrated once the kids were at that age. Not just because they don’t want to serve, but serving in another countries military might get messy.

Not sure they have an incentive to make it easier for PRs.

"The plan which is, recommended by the United States provides for certain discrete frequencies, with appropriate guard bands, for those industrial scientific and medical devices which cannot be shielded effectively. This assures a minimum disruption of vital communication services. The allocation of frequencies for this purpose is justified because of the tremendous investments in equipment and the public demand for the various services performed, together with the harmful interference to radio communications which would result if such devices were scattered indiscriminately throughout the spectrum. The frequencies proposed are:

13660 kHz

27320 kHz

40980 kHz

2450 MHz"

"Burning a gallon of gasoline releases almost 10 kgs of CO2 into the atmosphere"

I am not sure I understand the math here. 1 gallon of gasoline weights about 5kg, so how is that 10 kg of CO2 are released? Looks like mass will not be conserved in such a process. Am I missing something?
third parties in the US are historically not very successful, but mostly because they tend to shoot for broke by running for President and failing.

In other places where FPTP results in more than two parties, this is usually because they run at lower levels first, to set the expectation that they can run something. it is also usually less costly to run in such races as the required outreach networks are smaller and media campaigns less expensive.

And US election campaigns at the national level are very expensive because it takes a lot of funding to do outreach to 330 million people over 9M sq km, plus media advertising slots are very pricey. Bernie Sanders spent $220M on his 2016 campaign, and that was for the primary. To put that in perspective, the maximum a UK political party was allowed to spend on all seats in Parliament was 19.5M GBP in 2019; the maximum spend on any single seat is 30,000 GBP.
I don’t quite know how to make it happen, but because of the nationalization of politics there are also plenty of places where only one party is competitive so it feel like those places might be an opportunity for a third party
This just doesn’t resonate with my experience on HN. Ad-hominems are aggressively downvoted, and bad-faith arguments usually are too, even in political threads. There’s clearly something being valued higher than party affiliation by HN’ers else that wouldn’t be the case.

The people all arguing how approval is better than ranked choice remind me a lot of people here arguing that functional programming is better than imperative, and being constantly flabbergasted that their preference isn't reflected in real world implementations.

Approval voting has advantages when you get into the weeds, but ranked choice has one big advantage right out the gate: people like it more. If you present the two systems to regular voters with simple one paragraph descriptions, people will choose ranked choice nearly every time, because they want to be able to rank candidates if they're voting for more than one person. Nobody wants to have to say that the guy there willing to hold their nose for is just as worthy of their vote as the guy they really want in office.

Never thought of this but it makes total sense. Like how you can rip a piece of paper apart easily but try doing the same with a book.
The suggestions she proposed are at the end of the article.

The author ignores a huge amount of research done in the last 10 years on query evaluation.

A series of filter operations and successive sub-selects can't reach the same performance a worst case optimal multiway join can reach (and not even the performance of a series of two way joins that are smarter than linear scans, e.g. a hash join).

Similarly, there is no reason why incremental view maintenance should be possible for NoSQL, but not for SQL.
Materialize has shown that incremental view maintenance for PostgreSQL is very possible and very fast.

This article also seems to very narrowly limit NoSQL to Document Store, which is extremely narrow minded.

All in all it does NoSQL a huge disservice.
Let's be fair here. The vast majority of FB technology workers will be doing stuff they know or at least assume to be benign. If they are going to be accused of any guilt, it is by association. They are not cackling over code in a James Bond villain's lair. Leaving a job can cause massive upheavals in family life, if what you do is CSS or optimise DB access. Let's keep focus on the wrongs of the company and real decision makers.

So here's a much more general statement: your identity and your sense of self, your consciousness, your "choices" that build your life's narrative, are all actually a "Potemkin village in case anyone accuses the execs of not caring". The "anyone" in this scenario being other social agents you interact with (see [1] for further thoughts on this).

> the main benefit your team provided was PR/regulatory cover for the organization

This sort of reasoning seems to be applicable on many levels of social organization, from brains to countries. Most of the stuff your brain does is for show / self-delusion, most of the stuff any community or global organization does is also for show / self-delusion. It's "Potemkin villages" all the way down.

But we HAVE simplified. I can now type 'fetch this data matching these conditions sorted by this' and be confident about not having any bugs in my code, while underneath there's millions of lines and decades of other people's work and solved bugs being run.

"Back in the day" they would spend weeks devising that system from scratch, hand-writing sorting algorithms, etc.

The mental model of software development is about the problem and domain nowadays, not the low level implementation details. Your job is to solve a business problem, instead of figuring out how to manipulate a CPU and its memory banks to do your bidding.
Sources say otherwise:

A myth has taken hold that the “paint” on the Hindenburg’s skin — rather than its flammable hydrogen lifting gas — was somehow responsible for the Hindenburg disaster at Lakehurst, and this myth somehow persists even though it has been debunked by photographic evidence, scientific analysis, historical research, and even the TV show MythBusters.

It's fascinating how poor this area currently is. We are able to capture so many tiny, horrifying details about engagement and optimise shit out of ad clicking but we don't do basic things like using calendar or task dependency for internal delivery estimation.

Looking at what we're already doing on outside, improvements inside seem trivial. Good estimator should know that estimation spanning holiday season will be impacted. It should know serial dependency will span wider in time. It should know that set of unevenly distributed tasks (A-many + B-not-many) for small-team-A and larger-team-B will flow slower in time than distribution matching weighted max flow for team A and B. It should know multiple dependency on team X will have lower flow because they're maxed out.

It seems to me that monte carlo projection on timeline from inputs we already have mapped onto graph is really not a rocket science and it should have been solved problem by now. But it's not. Weird.
No it isn't, technically. I can guarantee you that most people in Norway can't explain the Sainte-Laguë divisors method which delivers proportional representation.

What is true, is that simplicity is a propaganda advantage for actually getting it passed, since "It's too complex so we can't trust it" is a good attack line even if it isn't true.

I'm not sure that advantage is worth it, given that 1. it's a terribly long shot anyway, and 2. It's the same argument which will be used to defend the status quo.
Bitcoin was founded on that back of all those things, only they were committed en mass by institutions using fiat money.
Crypto is a tool like any other it just depends on what you use it for.
A database is not a service well suited for ephemeral, quick scale down and scale up container workloads that K8s really excells at, and if you have nodes specifically configured to run databases and nothing else then you should simply run them there directly and not mangle K8s to replicate what will essentially be equivalent to running them there directly.
I can't see it working. Instagram and WhatsApp should be spun off, absolutely no question about it. But Instagram and Facebook still remain way too big.

And how do you break them up? By geographic area? People would be pissed because they have contacts with, or maybe want to watch vacation videos from people from different areas.

IMHO the only options would be:

* non-profit run by the UN or similar

* forced to open all data and APIs to make it a platform, with rules to make it an even playing field

In both cases with much less, and why not zero, "engagement" focus ( just show the latest stuff chronologically from the things you've liked/subscribed to). Could either work? No idea, but seems to me that they have better chance than a Facebook per country or region.
I'm in the same group as you. I'm completely unable to keep my stupid mouth shut if I see people doing stupid shit or being inefficient.

This got me promoted at my last company, which was fun for a while, I could actually change the stupid processes and ways of working - but it wasn't my thing in the long run.

Now I'm working in a smaller team as a normal coder and still can't keep my trap shut - but at least people are a lot more experienced and I've got less stuff to complain about =)
I think it’s a workstation fan on a server board. The CPU is rotated on server boards vs workstations. When the fan matches the board it always blows to the back. RAM modules follow the orientation of the CPU. Parallel to the airflow on server boards, perpendicular on workstation boards.

Your life now sucks - you are stuck with Hadoop. You don't have many other choices (big servers with many hard drives might still be in play), and most of your other choices are considerably more expensive."

My point is that large companies that do need to scale hire many developers. FAANG likely hire north of several hundred thousand engineers alone, and according to this article[1] there are only something like 1.5 million software engineers in the US.

The parties have changed in the past, so if you felt that a shift was coming up, then you might want to get ahead of it.

I don't want to seem too optimistic but the US seems overdue for a more European style politics so if a big shift happened you could still end up with two parties, broadly left and right and Democrats (that remain) could be either of them.

Its been said that this psychopathic behaviour is an emergent property of many corporations and emerges due to the nature of their very legal structure. In other word, the people may be fine but the outcomes can turn out not to be. See...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corporation_%282003_film%2...

"The Corporation attempts to compare the way corporations are systematically compelled to behave with what it claims are the DSM-IV's symptoms of psychopathy, e.g., the callous disregard for the feelings of other people, the incapacity to maintain human relationships, the reckless disregard for the safety of others, the deceitfulness (continual lying to deceive for profit), the incapacity to experience guilt, and the failure to conform to social norms and respect the law"

NYC mayoral elections are ranked-choice
The subsidiaries will always exist - most countries require an employer to be a bona fide local legal entity of the right kind; e.g. an American company cannot have an Italian employee; they can have a self-employee Italian contractor, but not an employee - and the laws of “who is an employee” aren’t that simple (even in the US, as you can see in the case of Uber)

And their existence guarantees that tax burden will be optimized globally, rather than locally - the nontrivial price of setting up and running a subsidiary has been paid, so of course it will be used to get benefits as well.
I think that's what the book and guidelines mentioned in the article are about. Best practices and design patterns for software development. For C, I can imagine the author promoting the use of Yoda conditions to prevent one category of bugs.

Overall, strictness and "anal" rules is how you can reduce the amount of common bugs - as long as they don't require too much active thought. Then you can focus on the domain, on the actual problem, and bugs on that level will be from your own limited understanding of said domain and logic, not the programming language, memory management, memory leaks, nil dereferences, etc. Those categories of bugs are solved problems, with either best practices, tooling / linters, analyzers, or newer and better programming languages.

I am not poor and I can easily afford a lot of late fees in my local library. Still, I notice that having late fees makes me want to return books in time, even if I didn't finish it. If these weren't in place, I probably would keep the book longer, even (or especially) if it's in-demand one with a long wait list and I didn't finish it in time.

I also see from an article that they eliminated fees for not returned ("lost") books which looks like just an open invitation to steal books from the library. Maybe I'm too cynical but I don't think it'd work very well.
Honestly what got me most suspicious was the blind praise we also see in this threat. I believe the suspicion is heavily justified.

It’s burnt with oxygen in the air to form CO2. The oxygen in the air is where the additional mass comes from
I haven't checked the math, but carbon from the fuel binds with oxygen from the air. CO2 consists of one carbon atom (12g/mol), two oxygen atoms (16g/mol). So, most of the weight comes from the oxygen from the air, rather than the fuel itself.
