There are two publicly available contenders: Odin and Zig.

Each one has its own way in which it deviates from C in a way that some people might not like. Odin is probably a lot closer to C than Zig. Zig tries to bring some of the more recent ideas into the low level programming space (compile time null checking, builtin "T or error" types, etc.

https://odin-lang.org/

https://ziglang.org/

Of course there are some other contenders, but having looked at them, either they are not even serious enough, or they deviate from C way too much, with GC, closures, etc.
“Easy” and “enjoyable” are different things. The Roku UI is extremely slow/jittery (even on the fastest models) and the layout of their software keyboard, in combination with the design of their remote (and/or smart TV remotes), makes entering text take an eternity as well. (And their voice support isn’t good enough to rely on in place of it.)

When a Roku is just sitting there doing its thing, it’s fine; but when you have to get it to do something else, it’s like a line at the DMV.
Tried it a bit. Not useful for me.
Would that indicate that vaccinated individuals are transmitting evolved versions of the virus?
This seems very shortsighted by the OpenSSL team. The emergence of Quictls seems to parallel the creation of LibreSSL. In both cases, there appears to be significabt hubris affecting their decision making processes, thinking that the world revolves around their implementation. It does not.
It's just an ATA Secure Erase command away.
After seeing some of the programming environments people have posted here in the last few months I’m becoming more convinced. I’d love to test out a VR work environment where I can sit on a fairly realistic mountain top or in a quiet forest. Still waiting for the cheap and economic version but I’m sure that’s coming eventually.
This is why they have an entire field focusing on finding unbiased juries. They conduct interviews, etc
> Success is determined by many factors, but they include Strategy, Willpower, Resourcefulness, Willingness to fail.

I believe you. I think the many factors also include dumb luck, in large measure. You didn't fall and break a leg. You didn't get food poisoning. Your laptop upon which you were learning all these valuable skills didn't die.

You took the risk to fail, and succeeded. I congratulate you - really. What you did isn't a trivial thing.

If you had failed maybe you'd still be smoking fish. (Though smoking fish might not be such a bad life - I have no useful experience in this matter). I contend that many more people who took a path like yours are still smoking fish than are well-employed programmers. So, your grit and determination notwithstanding, do you believe we should discard those who didn't make it to the soft-handed indoor work?
The real question is Flex or v90.
Big assumption. I've got a couple rabbits, but I'm also not gonna waste some farmer's time trying to buy 20 pounds of hay.

It would be cool though.
Are studies like these corrected for the culture the kids are raised in, the effect of things like parental leave on career choices or timing, introvert vs. extrovert, team or self oriented, economic status, history of education in the family, …. Whole lot of cultural issues weigh in here and they don’t cleanly partition by country.

And you can probably make the argument that the existence and length of parental leave is culturally driven as well. Somebody has to take care of the kids and if a couple lacks the money to farm it out somebody’s career takes a hit.
every now and then i submit a feedback to youtube saying it would be nice to have sorting playlists by duration. over the years, they added sorting by date added, date published, popularity.

i never ever used any of those.

it's either a hard technological feat to sort youtube playlists by duration. or someone decided youtube should not have that feature.
Yeah, I discovered that after I made my previous comment, and before I saw your whole long one.

It's a weird choice, because it means that command will sometimes tell you about 'builtins' that are not actually built in to the shell you invoke it from, including `command` itself.

Been there done that. I did it when XP was released.
Would you consider this a legal economic attack or illegal criminal attack?
If you’d spent the last 40 years telling jurors that fortune tellers were the gold standard for detecting drug mules then yeah. The issue is that we’ve been sold the idea that drug dogs are effective, not that jurors are gullible.
Tübingen is a college town with a major university. I would not expect that to be especially cheap with that kind of built-in demand where anyone buying property has guaranteed rental income in a town which is close to a third students.

If you don't want to say what you imply then perhaps don't imply it at all. You actually explaining what you're implying will not distract unless the original implication was also distracting. This just makes it look like you want to state opinions as facts without even stating the opinion fully.
Why limit yourself to the real world though. Having 20 people with anime avatars in a fantasy fantasy world sounds much better.

Ah, good catch, thanks!

I guess this could either be fixed up later with a simple check at the end, also linear, just in case it ever happens, or even just a condition whilst placing gates, that they can't be directly opposite the last gate placed but must be some x/y distance away.

Even without any check though, with a 100x100 grid, this is highly unlikely to happen often, as all 50 or so square borders would need to have their gate on the same side of the square, and at exactly the same position.

That's a few probabilities that would all need to intersect, i.e. I believe somewhere on the order of 1 in Math.pow(1/(100*4), 50) unless my probability theory is way off.
Uh, how's that, exactly? (I mean, Assange DID basically get Trump elected based on his personal beef with the Clintons... sigh)
Divulgational article at Medicalxpress: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-10-largest-real-world-do...

> The results show that, compared with individuals who received only two doses five months prior, individuals who received three doses of the vaccine (7 days or more after the third dose) had 93% lower risk of COVID-19-related hospitalization, 92% lower risk of severe COVID-19 disease, and 81% lower risk of COVID-19-related death. Vaccine effectiveness was found to be similar for different sexes, age groups (ages 40-69 and 70+) and number of comorbidities
Who will think of the poor, beleaguered oil execs, crying themselves to sleep on mountains of cash?

Fuck those clowns, and fuck pathetic lickspittles like Mr. Donalds here.
I’m going to be contrarian here, screw WSL and VM Ubuntu and install Linux with a Windows Virtualbox. Much better and more practical.
> random small city "Tübingen"

Tübingen is an infamously expensive outlier. Most average costs for houses I saw online are around 250-400k€. My own hometown, Ulm (not too far from Tübingen, and a bit larger) has Houses around 500-600k in good positions (although 1mio+ houses exist as well).

On a square meter basis, there are maps like this: https://www.immowelt.de/immobilienpreise/deutschland/hauspre... giving an average of 2.6k€/m² (Tübingen being around 5k€/m²)
Clinton and Trump were opponents in an election. She was talking about her opponent's supporters. The reaction to Clinton's speech can't be described without reference her opponent's campaign.

She said something like "half" which is essentially a statistic, not an accusation towards any individual, and was not an unfamiliar idea at the time. I used the term "political correctness" for the social habit of leaving some truths unspoken, and "gaffe" for breaking that rule.

Principled reasons could have been articulated by the other half. There were also Democrats who had principled reasons for favoring other candidates, but Clinton won the primary. Knowing that those people were in the minority on both sides was a fact of contemporary political campaigns.

Given that it was essentially a two-way contest, principled objections would need to identify actual principles, and indicate whether her opponent was likely to address those principles.

Trying to discern which opinions are indeed "principled" and which are propaganda driven is a fact and challenge of modern political discourse.
I feel a lot of these, including the good emotions, are driven by ego. My solution to some of this has been a mix of confidence and humility. Try to be confident in your choices, but be quick to admit you are wrong and quick to change direction when needed. It is not confidence to hold onto a bad solution.

One of my major problems is being too conservative. A few times I have been skeptical of a new technology or solution to a fault. When we started to use that technology it turned out it worked! My answer to this has been to try and be more open to suggestions. Try and talk things through and be patient and understanding.
Sorry to tell you, but if you’re constantly, or even regularly, writing this much boilerplate code, then you probably need to change how you write code. Maybe try a different framework.
> the jobs are everywhere internet is.

How many jobs in the U.S. can be done from the internet?

We should recognize from time to time that not everyone is an "information worker" like us and all our co-workers. In fact, we are few and are among an elite.
Fun fact: Ian Fleming’s Goldfinger was named after the brutalist architect Ernő Goldfinger:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernő_Goldfinger

Goldfinger was known as a humourless man given to notorious rages. He sometimes fired his assistants if they were inappropriately jocular, and once forcibly ejected two prospective clients for imposing restrictions on his design.
> Switching to a different system is a huge investment with no real benefits

But there would be "real benefits": there are significant performance overheads, especially at Facebook's scale, with using an RDBMS compared to something specifically written for their use-case. If a different storage system has even, say, 10% better performance overall then that translates to a 10% reduction in hardware-costs, which at Facebook's scale is easily tens-of-millions of dollars per year.

The first thing that comes to mind is RocksDB - of course then I remembered just now that Facebook does use RocksDB, but with MyRocks (which combines RocksDB with MySQL - though the MyRocks website and docs don't clearly explain exactly how and where MyRocks sits in-relation to application servers and MySQL - or different MySQL storage engines... ).
How did you conflate communication between people with entertainment?
I find it suspicious if someone who does not write code gets to dictate design and architecture. They usually tend towards pointless layers of abstractions and become architecture astronauts, creating a lot of pointless work for their underlings.

It's hard to blame them though. When you don't code, this kind of mental masturbation is exciting and fun. You don't get to deal with all the problems that arise from it, so you don't get the kind of feedback that forces you to course correct yourself.

The target of your designs becomes to impress your peers (I mean people who do a similar job at other companies). Just like when designers no longer design for the benefit of the user but to impress other designers.
They can also solve brain-conputer interface instead. Probably more profitable as well.
Tor's techniques also make it a monoculture. The smallest fuck up that makes you just a little bit more identifiable normally, makes you stick out like a sore thumb among TBB users.

Yes. Are you defending the issues in finance because of this? That this means that corruption and insider trading are ok?
Marx would certainly be surprised that we have so much more abundance than he dreamed of, while ordinary people still say "the economy must continue to grow". He expected people to demand basic food and shelter in such a society.

He would look at our weak but non-zero safety nets and say, "You can do so much better," and note that if they didn't exist then Capitalism would have ended a long time ago.

So I don't know what he'd predict from here. We're in a semi stable state, looking at a potentially more stable one but very afraid of it and even more afraid of upsetting the status quo. But if things got worse -- and they keep threatening to -- that would turn the semi stable state real unstable real quick.
Can someone explain why NFTs have anything to do with the metaverse? I heard about browsers easily supporting cryptocurrencies as an important step to it, that kind of makes sense. But do any average people buy NFTs for any reason besides being tricked into it as an (extremely dubious would be putting it politely) "investment"?
I think there's an obvious answer to that question: don't focus so much on profit and ensure that the net benefit of your product for humanity is greater than it currently is.

well most api that is not implemented in firefox has high probably of not being implemented in safari too. So I don't think web app developer should use recent web browser features and API that is available in chromium browser only. 20-30% represent a large number of users so I think devs should show more pragmatism.
What an animal! I logged onto our BBS with a 300 baud, and could watch the characters appear on the green CRT one at a time. Such speed, such exhilaration.
I’ve used it twice this year, once last spring (from 2016 MBP to M1 Air), and then again last night (Air to M1 Pro MBP).

The spring transition was lightly rocky, had some Docker issues, a couple Node image handling packages gave me grief. I had roped off three days for troubleshooting but only needed an afternoon.

Last night’s move was flawless.

Tip: if you’ve got a Thunderbolt 3 cable, use it. No network settings necessary, just plug both computers in. My brother in law’s setup too a couple hours, mine took twenty minutes.
How do you know it is pure nonsense? We actually have no scientific evidence either way. There is a reason why discussing the "hard problem of consciousness" is so popular. There are many people now advocating for a universal consciousness, i.e. that all space time has intrinsically a mind-like element that is merely "tapped into" by physical bodies.

It's foolish to pretend that it's a solved problem when it's not. At the present moment we don't actually have a solid idea either way.
>> The defect that is most universally accepted is that it is too verbose.

Another huge barrier (especially to early adoption) was the cost of Ada toolchains.

Even today, there are proprietary Ada implementations that cost thousands of dollars per seat.
Ask HN: How do I find a mentor outside my company about software web programming
I should have genericized the company name - I wanted to highlight the housing motivation for tech-workers to do ill. the company-formerly-known-as-fb just provides one very familiar example of this.

We're all constantly tempted to engage in sociopathic but well-remunerating work. (No doubt there is plenty of pro-social well-remunerating work - i.e. I'm not painting that as a zero-sum choice)

The question becomes,
1 - what choice does each of us individually make when faced with such a role, and
2 - more importantly, how easily can a company identify & recruit a sufficiently-qualified-yet-sufficiently-desperate individual for the same role who will go ahead and make such a moral compromise.
I never got onto the nojs movement because back in the day cookies and http headers were enough to track you, so why bother. Tracking you to death with a mountain of js is just a combination of sloppy and superfluous.

I would prefer a peer to peer experience for online content opposed to the webs client/server model. Then there are no third parties tracking you.
Note price-to-income ratios worldwide, by country:

https://www.numbeo.com/property-investment/rankings_by_count...

And by city:

https://www.numbeo.com/property-investment/rankings.jsp

You have to scroll very far down to get to any U.S city. Price-to-income ratios in top Chinese cities are about 40; ratios in top Californian cities are about 8.

Much of this is because of Federal housing policy that's very deliberately designed to subsidize homeowners. America has a cultural belief dating to the immediate post-WW2 period that everybody should be able to own a house; this is unique to this period and country. In most other countries (and time periods throughout history), there is a landlord class and a renter class.

This trend, if not explicitly reversed, has a long way to run.

Which is why many programmers don't want to make good UI's. It is a ton of technical work to get all those features working, and at the end people praise the UX designers for doing a good job creating such a good UI and not the people who coded it all together, except if it breaks then it is the programmers fault. People say the code is the easy part, but seemingly not a single big company can actually manage to get the code right, and it gets even worse at most smaller companies, so from my perspective we lack programmers who knows what they are doing way more than we lack programmers who has empathy.

No amount of empathy matters if the programmer ultimately fails to code up a working system, you'd rather have a programmer who can code up a working system with all the fancy parts needed for good UX when given proper requirements.
Terrible argument. People don’t use this when they’re switching from Windows to MacOS or vice versa but it’s a requirement for Linux?

Most if not all applications are probably available through WINE layer of some sort.
Copenhagen University [1] has it as 35,250kr/month, which is almost £4300/month.

Taxes and cost of living are higher in Denmark, but it's still more than double what a student in Britain gets. I had friends studying in both countries, and I was shocked when I found out the difference. (It was all science research.)

A couple of years ago, I saw a job advert at a British research institute I was working with. It was a PhD position, funded and managed by Copenhagen University, but living and working mostly in England to use the special equipment the institution had. The salary was higher than a senior researcher position, also listed, and higher than all the developers I was working with.

GlobalFoundries CEO: We’re sold out of semiconductor chip capacity through 2023
Think about inflation increasing at 3% annually on average, with no accompanying deflation, and with no accompanying increases in wages for most of the population.

A dollar is presently worth half as much as in 1990. A 100,000 a year job in 1990 is equivalent to a 50,000 a year nowdays.

Every year the noose gets slightly tighter, the slack is slightly reduced, the competition is slightly increased, society become slightly more cutthroat, people are forced to do slightly crazier and crazier things to make ends meet and sacrifice their morals just a little bit more, work just a few more hours to make the same money.

Then new generations are born into a world that's much more competitive than their parents world 20 years previous, and start out thinking this level of competitiveness and craziness is normal.

And the water in the frog pot inter-generationally continues to get hotter.

We're literally on a slow unstoppable pathway to a third world country and no one even realizes it.

Or possibly creating the conditions for war.

Simple. Solid. Works.

Nothing but praise from my side.

Literally, thank Gawd, as native TV smart apps are an absolute waste of time (they might as well retire them all now) and I don't want to get sucked into the other ecosystems.
KEY POINTS

* GlobalFoundries debuted on Nasdaq this week, valued at over $25 billion.
* The company specializes in manufacturing the kind of less-advanced chips that are currently in short supply around the world.
* But GlobalFoundries needs to convince public market investors that the company is riding a wave of increased demand that won’t fizzle out after pandemic-related supply issues abate.
So do you think it's completely impossible that you would be part of the 2/3rd that found the fake suspect guilty? I don't think basic comprehension or reasoning prevent you from falling for these kinds of arguments, and rather than try to limit possible jurors we should just bar unscientific evidence.
I think you missed the main point of the comment to which you were replying. You shouldn’t have to spend months living in tents, working part time, to develop an in-demand skill.

In other words, in-training software developers aren’t supposed to suffer. Artists, maybe they are supposed to be wealthy or do some suffering.

It's not about being "evil". People are very adept at making convenient self-serving justifications on-the-fly.

For example the very same liberal parents who chastise conservatives for promoting racial inequality will cry murder when there are attempts to racially desegregate the school their child attends by changing admissions, and they'll come up with the perfect rational for this contradiction after the fact. They will put their child first, regardless of the fact that their child is already far ahead because of socio-economic advantages, and that the disadvantaged kid even with the better education is still going to be disadvantaged compared to their kid.

It's even worse in a culture and economic system where selfishness is deemed a virtue.

Here on HN, you can see such heavily self-serving bias in discussions like this, where the emphasis is entirely on the positive aspects and negative concerns are shot down: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28924751.
I thought previously studies have shown that delta COVID is transmissible and catchable by anybody. Thought this study said it’s all delta variant…. Shorter duration and no mention of impact on health system. Would think this is the optimum result for a non sterilizing vaccine, and I hope that that and “had COVID already” maintain this kind of protection.
