I followed some of the links in the comments and found this talk by Feynman given from the same period he was working at thinking machines.

This part of the talk amazes me that people in 1985 were having the exact same discussions we are today about the computer and it's effect on privacy with respect to "big brother" and the totalitarian government's obsession with collecting information on people.

Authoritarians usually come from the fringe and change the system of power, i.e. Castro, Qaddafi, Stalin, Mao etc..
Mandated ISO standards in 1947 was absurd secret law too. Democracy is not that new of a concept.

It's just that both regulations were much lighter so much fewer people would be affected, and at that time the world was in an extremely totalitarian mood, divided by two countries that imposed dictatorships wherever they went. But entrepreneurship existed by then just like it does now, and you can bet many people went poorer because they couldn't access the standards.

Also, they were much less accessible. If you couldn't just go to a library to read them because they weren't free, it meant most people could not get them at all. It was not just a matter of getting in a phone and calling the ISO customer center.
I don't understand how any of these comments make you trust the history less. Can you be more explicit? Is it really as simple as you don't think those things were racist therefore everything else must be wrong?
There is no absolute value for -128 (or 0xff) in the range of int8_t because 128 is not in 0..127. The error is not the logic or the compiler but rather the return type which should be (at least) int16_t. Indeed simply changing the return to int16_t gives

abs(-128) = 128
abs(-127) = 127
abs( 0) = 0
abs( 126) = 126
abs( 127) = 127
You can also (except this is awful!) work in the space of negative numbers through almost all of parsing and then, unless the sign is "-", negate the value just before returning it. However, having a base unsigned parsing routine and then doing signed conversion including application of unary +/- sign to the number at the very end allows sharing the most code.
I don't think it does. And the mob of HN seems to agree with me (there's a scary thought). You also didn't answer why it's tone deaf. What tone do you think it strikes that is unwelcome? that's why your first comment is now dead. And why this responder asserts that it's not constructive to the discussion. You're asserting FB is bad, but not why. You don't make any claims, arguments, or suggestions you merely assert everyone should obviously be in agreement that the only reasonable response is to pretend FB doesn't exist, and/or has no value for sharing content. Because for what I'm left to assume is because it's "bad for everyone". I guess that's so obvious no one might disagree with you.

There's work that Feynman did on the Manhattan Project that is still classified. I believe it was an unpublished formula to determine the yield of the atom bombs.

I don't think so. They are supposed to set standards or make tweaks for how the law should be enforced. They aren't supposed to outright ignore it.

Just like judges are not supposed to legislate from the bench.

I think the misapplication and unequal enforcement of the law undermines the entire system. Nobody will think it's fair that they get prosecuted and some other person doesn't. Justice for all, my ass.
How noisy is it going to be?
Yeah, I miss the good and simple times when Java didn't have all this unnecessary bloat like generics and annotations. We generously peppered our code with casts from Object and explicit boxing and unboxing, and it was good. Our code was so clean and readable, and we neatly wired everything together by configuring class names in XML. We were happy and life was good.
</sarcasm>

In all seriousness, Java's implementation of generics was less than ideal, but I recently had to deal with a lot of pre-Java 1.5 codebases that haven't seen much upgrade in recent years. It wasn't fun.
Ask HN: Will a FAANG resume one day be the equivalent of an Enron one
With recent discoveries and the daily scandals, will this be the new resume stain?
I was wondering about that. Every update when it says it's unsigned I get really nervous and triple-check the source and monitor traffic during the install.
Do they have some sort of Minecraft version control system? Can people work on a local copy and then merge their changes into the main branch?
Not it's not, it's absolutely worse on Washington Post because they don't want the truth to come out and ruin the narrative.
That still might run afoul of locked down networks like I've seen at banks. Users couldn't install any binaries at all, but with something like ack it's just cut & paste some text into a text file. ack can literally be a select-all, Ctrl-C, switch windows, "cat > ack", Ctrl-V.
Unfortunately, if you compile with MSVC, or with Gcc or Clang but don't specify a more-recent-than-2003 target (e.g. "-mavx" or "-march=native"), you won't get a POPCNT instruction. Likewise, for the conforming extension __builtin_popcount.

On MSVC, _popcount gets you POPCNT regardless of target. But its std::bitset and std::popcount still won't use it.

C does not, in fact, offer any Standard way to get a popcount instruction. Gcc's and Clang's optimizers recognize certain naive counting loops and can substitute a POPCNT instruction if told that the target supports it.

On RISC-V, you don't get a POPC under any circumstances, nohow. I have been told that the RVA-22 target (supposed to be used in desk machines) will have it, but cannot find any confirmation online. I expect it to be tricky to get compilers for RISC-V to emit it, into the indefinite future, regardless of support on particular machines.
Go doesn’t have the libraries of python however. In certain computing domains you would first have to spend 10 years rewriting the python frameworks in golang before you could even be on parity with python.

I am most familiar with scientific computing and GIS applications — python is miles ahead of golang in ecosystem support in those domains.
This wasn’t what I expected it to be :)
There has to be some kind of balance against the overwhelming power law enforcement wields over citizens. Maybe totally removing qualified immunity isn't the answer. But something needs to change to curtail abuse. I have no idea what that might be - even stepping up internal enforcement of policy and proper procedure might have the unintended consequence of law enforcement becoming reluctant to do their jobs.
For personal project, I won't support it. It is simply waste of time for no return.

For company project, I was paid to do it. So I did.

But the low quality browser implementation is pain in the ass to debug. If it didn't exist at first place. My life will be far easier.
That's probably why people 'like' certain tools, they are still working inside that context or environment and then there are no other tools that do that thing well.

But that doesn't make the tool a great tool in absolute terms. That is also the problem with this type of comparison, some people come up with arguments that are tangential at best. If you use literally anything else (anything that is not winapi, win32, forms, mfc, wpf or some legacy xaml) then Visual Studio is just a limited experience at best, and a steaming pile of crap in most cases.

This goes for more software obviously, if you want to write C# but try to do that in Xcode, you're going to have a bad time. Same for when you need to write a Kubernetes controller in Go, that's going to suck really badly in VS or XC.

There are a few remaining systems that really benefit from unmanaged languages and strong OS-integrated tooling (the niches that were mentioned), but the mass development practises going on today are basically non-desktop and specifically non-windows-desktop. This means that a tool that was designed to be specifically for windows-desktop (or macOS-desktop for that matter) is unlikely to be optimised for anything else.

Windows Desktop as-is might not be a niche, but building local native desktop applications is. Even if you target Windows Desktop right now for a new application, it's likely that it's going to be some crappy CEF/Electron thing. And yes, that's crappy, but it also means you get to use much more of the knowledge/mindshare/community that is out there which is bigger than all desktops combined.
You could take it apart though which was nice. When mine was on it's last legs, hard-drive clicking to death, I swapped in a cheap 250gb laptop drive and could finally carry all of my music library around instead of having to pick and choose.

Upgraded to a Zune after the battery on my Zen died. The screen and UI were great imo, sad it didn't stick around.
"you should also have the right to remain silent during an investigative detention."

You do. You have to expressly state that you are invoking your 5th ammendment right if they haven't charged you yet.

The thing that allows it to happen anyways is qualified immunity. The court is saying you have that right, but they won't hold the cop accountable for violating it because because it's not clear/official enough.

Does the type flow back from the return type to the negation operator? I had no idea C worked like that! I would have assumed -x was the same type as x and then it was converted for the wider return type.
One of the biggest reasons I keep buying apple products and do not mind the cost, is that I always have great experience with Apple handling my issues. I had my AirPods Pro replaced twice for no cost (sure they shouldn't break on their own, but still), they fixed my laptop while on warranty for no cost. Once when I had to pay for fixing my keyboard (4 year old laptop without apple care), they charged me for the keyboard replacement and they returned me a laptop with new screen and new battery free of charge.

Also, I dont know if they have 24/7 support, but last week I had live chat with their support on Sunday evening.

It’s far worse: Homeopathic therapy is paid for by the German health insurance system. That’s how far this bullshit goes. Public money is spent on quackery. And you can’t vote with your wallet as health insurance is mandatory here.
No matter how you parse it, it cannot be 2Tm³. The most generous reading would be "two trillion cubic metres" rather than two million. It could also be read to mean that you want to cube a terametre.

Agreed, though it was a bit easier to follow since it's shorter. The ending could be interpreted as a prequel to TBP.

Just to add my insignificant voice, I too was put off by the use of the word. I'm not familiar with the expression "pimp my ride" despite being American from birth. But I do know what a pimp is and it is a negatively, sexually charged word. I'm not asking you to change it, but I think it is to your benefit that you are aware that some subset of commenters here find it uncomfortable.
People are coming at it from a different direction than you, asking why anyone would join a community where they don't quite have property rights.

I have been teaching Sanskrit for five years. 'Latin' can replaced with 'Sanskrit' in this article and the article would still be spot on (for Sanskrit of course). Latin and Sanskrit both are highly inflected languages and whatever is said about Latin in this article applies to Sanskrit too. I see the same issues in my Sanskrit students as described in this article. People have been studying Sanskrit for years but can't read, write or speak a single sentence. People read a sentence, sort of get the idea and move on. That works for partial comprehension but it doesn't solidify their grammar or composition skills because they never make effort to understand and memorize grammatical forms and their functions in the sentence. So when the time comes to write or speak, they are at a loss. Memorization gets a bad reputation but it is incredibly useful and for learning a language, indespensible. When I am working on learning a song on the guitar, I first memorize the part I am working on. That makes it so much easier not having to look at the music sheet again and again while trying to get the notes right. Once memorize, I can just focus on getting the timing right.

Enron was a fraud.

And I think for most of the rank and file, other than the brand, their work experience would still be considered legit.

Maybe FAANG (honestly not sure what N did, but anyway), you could consider more like tobacco experience. There may be some highly judgemental people that hold it against you, but overall, what most employers care about is the work you did, and not the ethics or your entire industry.

I think the insurance industry is as unethical as one could be, but I wouldn't hold insurance experience against someone, anymore than I would facebook experience.

I think post internet 2-3 months is a long time to track this down. It took much longer from the first known case which might have saved lives.

Zap every item in the house with a bar code reader and cross reference digitised receipts / bank statements. These people want the toxic thing out of their homes, they'll probably agree to fully help. It's such a strange item, just two people having it, along with India and it has rocks in it should immediately have tipped investigators off.

Why was it " South Asian" and not India. Can't we get researchers to stop pumping out BS journals articles for a while and reward them for categorising more genetic material. Even a dunce should be able to do it (And you'll know when they fake it unlike Journal Articles)

You should submit that to HN!
For scripting and "just throwing something together for internal use," Python is a pretty traditional choice, but I think Go is able to outclass it for maintainability -- static typing and somewhat better package management are a big help, and Go has a comparable ecosystem.
That will just hide the IP, but not user's authentication and data. There are more simpler ways to proxy if you assume that the proxy front end is secure.

> However, what stood out to me was how difficult it is to self study? Universities provide a setting which helps you learn difficult subjects over a longer period of time. Outside of that, no such avenues exist. It’s not just reading up a book or making Anki flash cards(which is quite tedious to be honest) but the process of selecting, vetting what to read next and actually completing it.

One major thing I found when learning at a university that I have trouble with when self studying is pacing.

Let's say the textbook covers some topics A, B, C, D, and E in that order. When self studying I start with A, and keep working on A until I'm confident and comfortable with it, then move on to B, and so on.

In school we'd spend a while on A, but then usually move on to B before I was fully comfortable and confident with A. Same for B to C, and so on.

This was fine, because while I didn't think I was ready to move on the instructors had a lot of experience with teaching this material and knew that we students knew enough A to understand B, and in fact that exercising our A to help us learn B would also strengthen our A.
The functionality you mention isn't available on the Tesla either, like full self-driving computer, since it's not full self driving.

Navigate on autopilot I dont know what that means.

Self parking is available on other cars, Volkswagen, Audi, and more. Even the base Prius practically parks itself.

Traffic light and stop sign: what's the point of this if you have to maintain awareness anyway since it's not really full self driving?
We had that at the beginning of the country. It didn't last long.
"A vast majority of the workers in the legal system are doing their job with honesty. It should also be in their interest to get rid of corrupt people."

On thing this misses is that many people violating rights might just be incompetent. Then the corrupt ones use incompetence as a defense.
> In rust the standard library uses quite a bit of unsafe code, and even nightly only features and standard-library-only features that you don't usually need in real code

I have found the Rust std lib to be a great resource. Much of the unsafe is necessary because there is literally no other way to build up abstractions like Box or certain data structures without it. Obviously once those are written though, you want to build on top of them where possible and not use unsafe.

It's probably important to delineate between a good example of application code vs library code also. The std lib is not going to help much with application code.
Remember also that roughly half of any given population is approximately below average, on any axis you care to measure.

Combine that with majority in many democratic systems being 51%.

And we’re in for a hell of a mediocre time.
I get where you're coming from, but I think it's reasonable to realize frustration that the person you were originally responding to may have had with OP stating unequivocally that 'Cannabinoid system' is quackery without doing any research of their own.

To bring it to tech, it'd be like someone claiming that 'database system' was made up by Percona to market MySQL.
Global scope is not a terrible invention and if you look carefully then you will notice that the Java version uses it as well.

Or where is the import to get "System" into scope? It's imported globally everywhere (just like all everything from java.lang).

So the only question is: should "print" be burried under layers or not. I don't think the advantages of burrying are really worth it.

You will find fewer states than you think have that policy, and I assure you, if you employed that particular legal strategy to justify use of deadly force against a non-mask wearer, you'd... Well... Good luck. I have a feeling you'd have an uphill battle.

But let's look at that more closely, shalt we? Stand your Ground usually comes into play when there is a clear, present, and immediate danger. The immediacy part is what I'd see as lacking in your scenario.

Further, Stand your Ground doesn't guarantee you safety in the sense of bestowing or making an explicit right. Rather, it guarantees you safe harbor for reasonable employment of lethal force in self-defense, and making clear you have no duty to retreat first. That reasonable bit is generally always at the heart of the matter, one; but more importantly, this guarantees you the chance to secure your safety rather than remaining passive in a life-or-death situation, which the statute acknowledges as possible by its mere existence.

Ergo. No right to safety, but a reification of the right to pursue it, up to and including reasonable employment of lethal force.

We have gained so much in terms of technological progress, consistently reducing the energy required to go from point A to point B, it surprises me how we are again increasing it for getting from point A to point B.

The concept is great, but the push for mass market adoption bugs me.

These things are not efficient modes of transport. It takes a lot of energy to move one person from A to B.
