Ask HN: Any experienced C++ developer willing to work on some side-project?
I want to work on any side-project with experienced C++ developer(s). Anyone interested in working on C++ side-project with me? I don't have any specific application in mind. We can discuss what to work on once we meet online.
> Yeah, I could imagine this being a useful step to migrate away from MongoDB.

What is the state of the art in this area? I did a little PoC of moving data from Mongo to a new schema in Postgres with Hexo and DBT. It worked nicely, but it was only a PoC.
Mob justice can be true justice. As in this case precisely, there was proof that a court refused to listen to.

At some point you need to worry about deep fakes, etc, but there's still cases where the accused more or less says they are guilty and flips the court off and everybody acts like nothing can be done about it.
I mean they could basically point out that Messenger Kids is a great product and has been extremely useful for connecting kids to friends and family (while allowing parental supervision.) You know, kids who, before this month, couldn’t even get vaccinated against COVID.
Now to go Argentina and dare to say the same thing.

Or go sell something with a high risk of fraud and see how how much the credit card companies will charge you.
I think what would change people's minds is crypto surviving an economic downturn.

I'd expect crypto as a whole to survive, but all the useless hype-/shitcoins to get wiped out. Same as with the dotcom bubble and housing bubble.
I get my beef from a local (pasture-raised, 100% grass-fed) farm and it costs about 10% more than the organic beef I see at the meat counter at Whole Foods (a grocery store).

Can't comment on if those prices would change with scale. I don't know if it's more or fewer head of cattle per acre compared to the maize needed for feedlot cattle. Maize is a pretty dense crop, so my guess would be fewer head per acre.
Treasury at least knows what it's talking about. The Congress (whom they're asking for legislation here) not only won't understand any of this, but worse, will write whatever laws big bank lobbyists want them to write, with the primary intent to make all of this non-viable for anyone but Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan through regulatory capture.

I'll leave it to you to decide whether this preferential treatment is better than the current lax regulation.
Innocent of what, though?

This sounds like the nothing to hide, nothing to fear argument.

The history allows such a state to construct a narrative where everybody else thinks you're guilty, based on your messages and porn history and so on. Cherry-picking, quoting out of context, etc. This allows the state to legitimise their actions, where torture would fail to do so.

Make everyone fear each other.
I have gotten to where is someone asks me to do a linked list or recursive tree search I just end the interview right there. Ask me their strengths or why a balanced tree is useful, awesome. It's fine I hope they have find the right candidate, but as an embedded person I haven't had to write those in decades and if I need to I'll look it up. Sorry I don't have everything a CS grad has fresh in his mind or something that you write daily but most of us don't

Other cases where this seems to have happened include pacemakers; hearing aids; supersonic jets; ocean-liner trips; small planes (e.g., Cessnas); mercury; chemistry sets; most vacuum tubes; hovercraft; bubble memory (and more generally SSDs that don't die from read disturb); Gyrojet guns; brass vacuum fittings; ebonite; and old-growth lumber. If you limit yourself to just US production, you can apparently add things like microcontrollers; many kinds of machine tools; ventilators; Nixie tubes; and N95 respirators.

I don't think it's grim at all that India and China are having big waves of nuclear innovation, but I don't think they stand much of a chance against solar except for niche applications until there's a total manufacturing revolution.

“whole, fresh onions imported from the State of Chihuahua”, “Do not use, ship, or sell recalled onions. Suppliers and distributors that re-package raw onions should use extra vigilance in cleaning any surfaces and storage areas that may have come into contact with these products. If there has been potential cross contamination or mixing of onions from other sources with these products, suppliers and distributors should discard all comingled and potentially cross-contaminated product.” — https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbrea...

“It's not clear exactly how many people have been infected—the 808 number is a bare minimum. "The true number of sick people in an outbreak is likely much higher than the number reported," the CDC said, since many people may have chosen to ride out the sickness at home rather than seek medical care. The CDC estimates that only about one in every 30 salmonella cases actually get reported.” — https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2021/10/29/salm...

This is a major factor. macOS has aggressively optimized for these in recent years, often at the expense of classic 1x display experience. I use 5K 27" and 4K 24" monitors at 2x scaling (this is the default), and the result is excellent.

How about the fact that over a billion people are members of the Catholic Church? The membership of which requires believing quite a bit of Biblical literalism.

Tbh that whole argument is always kinda weird: If those people don't believe in the whole thing, why are they members in a church about it? That's pretty much the only statistic you need.

You're right and this is the single dumbest argument I see all the time for why we need the clock switch.

It's far easier to change the local office hours for workplaces and schools during winter time as needed. For extreme northern areas, they could even move it by more than one hour. It can be their choice! Let the work hours be decided locally rather than a blanket rule for the poles and equator. Match our behavior to the daylight rather than the other way round - you know, like every other species on Earth
I agree with your point, but (pedant mode on) a cease and desist would be more likely in the first instance. You’d only sue first in an exceptional case.

I'm convinced weightlifting is helpful for knowledge workers, and I say this as an Ex SpaceX engineer and current FAANG Data Scientist who despite having great jobs, has realized that health is as important as a career.

I wrote a essay on the benefits of weightlifting for knowledge workers https://ravinkumar.com/WhyFitness.html

It's so thrilling to see other folks here post experiences similar to mine. To echo them

Weightlifting has
* Improved my appearance and subsequently self confidence
* Eliminated RSI and ergonomic pains that used to occur on long coding day
* Auto regulated my overall health and wellness by adding an objective measure of my capability
* I feel as though its improved my sleep and mood
* Given me a goal that I truly own and can achieve, unlike promotions or titles or money which others control

I personally went from being a typical skinny nerd in college, to an overweight one in my mid 20s (from completely neglecting my health) to losing 35 lbs, of mistake and regret, in my early 30s.

I urge anyone reading this, don't go through the same cycle and/or start making changes now if you can. It really is worth it.
> Expectation is aspiration.

Not unless you're aiming at something you're 100% certain you can achieve, or delusional. I knew a person in high school who aspired to go to Stanford for her undergraduate education. She didn't succeed, and to be quite honest her expectation of doing so was moored in fantasy, not reality.

Any number of kids who want to play professional sports or succeed as entertainers are aspirational without necessarily expecting they'll make it. The ones who do expect that kind of success are often let down and become part of the 90-odd percent of SAG card holders who wait tables, paint houses, and do all kinds of things other than acting to pay the bills — or never even make it to Hollywood.

Conversely, someone in a farming family might say that in 30 years they will be farming, which is likely aspiration = expectation.
I'm not a public official, but I like my readings to be informatives and display a good faith attempt to convey the truth. HN is one of the rare place on Internet that manages to do both. And I think everyone can contributes when given the opportunity to do so, so I think a small remainder can be better than an outright downvote / ban.

"it's a civil matter" seems to be the go to excuse for British police. There's a whole TV series following property owners in the UK who have experienced issues and this response comes up way too often in the series.
Seems like you are confused about why people might respond negatively to you (the comment thinking the issue is around 'shiny dirt'), and that some one had the time to try and explain what might be going on.

Because as the driver you're responsible for the tool you're using to drive your self to your destination. That means you're responsible for whether or not you use Autopilot, do 200kmph, take your hands off of the steering wheel, turn your lights on at night, and everything else associated with the operation of that vehicle.

> ... at some point in time along the technological advancement of self driving technology we'll have to stop blaming ourselves.

No we don't. We built it, so we're responsible for it and the consequences associated with its operation, regardless of how well it's engineered or how smart we think we are.
>Possession is a physical/real property of the universe

This assertion immediately falls apart on consideration IMO. Even in simple, controlled circumstances like football, the meaning of "possession" is subject to mutual agreement (i.e. "rules").

You could take some particular definition of "possession" as "natural" or otherwise axiomatic. This is not unheard of, but I think it's a trick of misdirection to place it in the domain of the "physical/real" when it is plainly a political matter.
On a motorcycle if I am at a stop with no one behind me I am periodically scanning my review mirror and considering escape routes. If some appears to approach too fast I start flashing my break light until it is clear they are decelerating at a comfortable level.

I am going to start taking a similar precaution when driving. I'll just flash of my hazard lights once and hopefully that triggers something in the driver or autopilot.

Holy crap. Sometimes, I look wistfully at the apparent ease with which people can make their millions as absolute frauds. (Take that, impostor syndrome, you'd be winning if you were a real impostor.) In the case of PonziCoin... fuck... everybody participating had eyes wide open. It doesn't even 'feel' wrong. But I still don't think I could live with myself.
Docker is a brand name for a bunch of totally unrelated concerns. It's some metadata attached to some tar archives. It's a repository that hosts said tar archives and metadata. It's a client for pushing and pulling said archives. It's a container runtime. It's a cgroups manager. It's a networking layer. It's a container orchestrator. It's a Mac app that requires you to pay them to run a Linux VM. They do a shit ton of stuff and named their product and their company the same thing, and were here pretty early on. My point is that it's a largely useless term.

If you want to understand things at a deeper level, you have to cut through the cruft. You can put linux distributions into tar files and run them without Docker (see systemd-nspawn). You can use cgroups to run ordinary Linux binaries. You can make a group of processes run on a fake private network. You can build OCI-compliant container images without ever running a single thing in a container. Docker conflates all of this and confuses people. Don't be confused, realize that "Docker" does a lot.

Regardless, when infectious disease is more widespread, they get more hit by it. Wasting medical resources on preventable disease is stupid. It is in everyone interest to get everyone vaccinated.
Hey - just going on my impression here, but why beat yourself up? If this is what you like, then you're doing well; I'm sure Thoreau had doubts and fears - that's very possibly why he wrote about it. If it's not exactly what you like, you're just like the rest of us. Everyone is struggling and, IME, generally doing the best they can. Some people's struggles are more apparent to others (money, some addictions) and some less (and those with less apparent struggles often act like they have none). Compassion, for yourself and for others, is the ultimate weapon.

You sound courageous to me; it's inspiring to read how strong you are. I hope you find some peace tonight. Someone said to me, in a past life, 'what if you just stopped beating yourself up today, just for a day?'. Turned out that I really didn't need to do that any day. It's not like I wasn't trying, or that I'm not still trying and struggling.
On some other discussion forum, I was informed that the supply chain crisis is growing in the electronics world. The 1N4148 diode is a very common part, and is beginning to increase in price dramatically.

Given the general discussion of "semiconductor shortage" going on, I feel like this Mouser.com page shows off just how bad things are getting these days.

The 1N4148 diode is still available from other suppliers, but to see a common "jellybean" part like this suddenly start to have supply-chain issues (albeit: only from one manufacturer: Diode Inc) is worrisome to me.

Does anyone else have experience in this field? What's your experiences here? What's going on with less common parts? Are you able to source your components still? Anyone forced to change their designs because of shortages?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe your comment is misguided.

The PIN is a security option that prevents a SIM-swapping attacker from registering a new device under your phone number unless they know the PIN. You can opt out of it (and it might be opt-in to begin with). You can also easily opt out of PIN reminders. Both of these options are in Settings -> Account.

As for server state - my understanding is that Signal attempts to be zero-knowledge overall, but they definitely store some state on the server. I believe it's encrypted using your private key that's not backed up to the server. Setting the PIN does not change that.

Server state comment aside, it seems your main complaint is about a pop-up PIN entry UI that can be opted out of? I get that it might seem annoying, but it feels like a fairly weak criticism of a messaging platform, certainly not one that should warrant an impression that Signal is "on the way out"?

> Of course this is a trivial problem to solve with smart contracts, if you can have things like real-life identity and real-life money mapped to them.

This reminds me of talking to a salesperson at $BIG_CO about their "blockchain platform cloud" offering for "ending inventory tracking system inaccuracy problems once and for all".

I could never figure out how cryptography was supposed to help with the "is the physical thing actually where it's supposed to be in the physical warehouse" problem. That seemed like the non-trivial part. Everything else you could just do with a flat-file CSV or whatever.
