I don't think the Java section makes sense either. I'm no historian, but I don't think it was ease of serialisation that led to huge amounts of config in Java. I suspect that was more to do with its status as an "enterprise" language.

Having encountered a similar proliferation of config in "enterprise" C++ (where it's usually not implemented in terms of serialisation) it was mostly driven by a need to modify the behaviour of systems in production without having to go through software release processes that were often cumbersome and beaurocratic.
There’s similar interfaces for Finder for things like Dropbox, except not every mouse driver has a plug-in and if it turns out the model is problematic, like on Windows, Apple has no issues with repairing it and forcing the plugins to update.

Backwards compatibility is nice but it drags you down.
A very far fetched conspiracy theory that would really have astounding implications for the entire system of government inthe country. What's more likely happened is Putin and/or Trump got to Mueller and Schiff and others to silence them and bury all the evidence.
A few paragraphs into the article:

> Some possible factors in Japan’s success include a belated but remarkably rapid vaccination campaign, an emptying out of many nightlife areas as fears spread during the recent surge in cases, a widespread practice, well before the pandemic, of wearing masks and bad weather in late August that kept people home.

Nothing mysterious here.
user experience is inferior? how so? what nonsense, i have heard countless stories on dumb things Apple forces on its users while on Linux you can just use Vulkan... Imagine if your app can't contact Apple servers they don't launch or take minutes to open...and when they do work they are recording information... why on earth do people still use closed source software. Now we have to deal with Safari crap... like we used to deal with IE5, having to have workarounds for browser standards Apple refuses to follow or implement.
depends on what you are doing, but when you are implementing abstraction folder hierarchies are a very good analogy of concept containment

The point is to have a conversation about a project that the candidate understands well and is passionate about rather than asking them a bunch of questions that we already know the answers to.

Before the interview we review the code base and try to understand what it’s doing by the documentation provided in the readme. During the interview we get the candidate to demo the project and any questions that came up in our code review we ask at the stage of execution in the project demo. The interview lasts for 2 hours and we’ve had several rounds of candidates put through this process.

Both we as interviewers and the feedback from candidates has been very positive. The interview ends up being a day-to-day normal experience within the team and this really helps us to gauge the team fit. I think this helps to hire people that compliment and expand our skill set rather than hire people who are basically ourselves.

> Fail0verflow have stated in the past that Jailbroken consoles are not worth it anymore since they are so close to computers in features and functionality

Interesting. I don't own a PS5, but Xbox seems to be pretty much a PC [1] (weeeell, like a Chromecast-style PC anyways). The main reason to legitimately jailbreak a PS4 back in the day was to get back the Linux functionality Sony took away from its users, and to run emulators possibly.

It's interesting that the hacker communities acknowledge that the legitimate reasons for jailbreaking your PS5 are not many, at least not yet.

I'm finding more and more pieces of information that suggest the Great Stagnation coincides with the institutionalization of science.

Science "won", got the respect of society, and got upgraded to Serious Business, with corresponding stiff roles and certifications. And 60 years later we look around and wonder how we got to tolerate parasitic journals. Assume - a very fair assumption - that journals are just the tip of the iceberg. Just what us laymen see most clearly from the outside. This makes things look pretty bad.

Now, this is pure personal opinion: I think there is about as much chance of reforming academia as it is of making NASA competitive with SpaceX. I doubt a solution will arrive soon, but if it is it will be from somewhere outside the established field.
You can imagine my shock when the twits opened their own social media site, and started tweeting. ;-)
I read in the article a common writting :

Schema flexibility is another major differentiating factors between SQL and NoSQL. The relational world imposes a clear schematic structure during the design phase itself and any change in the structure is generally considered expensive. NoSQL offers Schema-on-Read. This makes it a lot easier to change the data format as data evolves.

I only worked briefly with a nosql 'real' production database but we needed to change the data shema, and migration was a pain (like any migration). Was it because some special user case ? Is migrating data really simplier with nosql for a reason I don't see ?

Naively I find them even worse because you can have multiple shema at once on the same table, so each read on an important document must include a sanity check 'what is the current shema of this particular entry, should we migrate it ?'. What do I miss ?
I live in a third world country. What's funny is we have a lot of PlayStations and powerful video cards and top-level processors available. We just don't have any money to buy them. Maybe I should set up a mail-order business to serve Western hardware enthusiasts.

I wonder how this will go down with advertisers used to the usual pay-per-click and being able to demographically target their audience before spending their ad dollars.
After the first two paragraphs I stopped reading the article seriously. But I love science fiction for the idea's, and this article has a few in them.

For example her take on / comparison of nuclear war with time war:

> After that, I was no longer afraid of nuclear war. The solution was easy. We already knew nuclear war was a risk, we just had to avoid the paths of timelines that would lead to it.

> I’m not interested in losing time wars, or winning them. In real life, I think it’s a great idea to avoid them entirely.

And on avoiding bad events:

> “Time is like a room. If you want to avoid bumping into the chair when walking across the room, you can do that — but you have to know that there is a chair and where that chair is in the room.”

> It left me with the clear intuitive feeling that as a species we could work to avoid a particularly bad possible event or move toward a particularly good possible event, but we needed some intelligence about what those possibilities are and where/when they are in spacetime.
Isnt't that what CORS/same-origin policies prevent? The attacker domain can be prevented from loading the bank resources within the same context by the browser. If the request is made by the attacker domain instead and proxied to you, then it doesn't have your cookies to display the private identification.

In either case, the "correct profile picture" would not load.
Ask HN: Best book to learn C++ as a professional C programmer?
I have been a professional C programmer for around 10+ years, and have been working on systems software (building a database). I have a very cursory knowledge of some other languages like Python. I want to expand my repertoire (while still sticking to backend systems-y stuff like distributed systems/storage systems/infrastructure level programming). I have been thinking of picking up either Go or C++. Go is very easy to learn, but I am not sure of it's long term viability. Also, there are several large open source codebases that are already coded in C++.

What is the best resource for me to learn C++ in a way that it is not simply as a bolt-on to C?

Here are some options I've been looking into:

1. The C++ Programming Language: Bjarne Stroustrup
2. Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++: Bjarne Stroustrup
- Seems too elementary for someone with my background (?)
3. Accelerated C++: Keonig and Moo
4. C++ Primer: Lippman et. al.

Any others?

Thanks for reading!
So you are suggesting programmers should just assign people names conforming to some standardized schema? You might get away with that for a government website in some states, but good luck being a commercial site in competitive market and requiring customers to change their names before you will take their money.
yea like Mac not supporting Vulkan... or that Safari browser we have to make constant workarounds for, its the new IE5
Google Vendor Security Assessment Questionnaires
That is rather conspiratorial in mindset - asserting there must be a single "entity" as an actor as the universal or driving force. Like the old freaked out monarchist conspiracy theory which blamed the Jews and the Illuminati for the French Revolution. The idea that people were simply too fed up, the relative balance of noble vs commoner in combat changed over time making the fight winnable unlike prior forgotten revolts, went against their world view and had to be psychologically denied at all costs.

The charge of "destabilized society" is basically meaningless for a mutating ship of Theseus. Did it count as razing Constantinople when it was officially renamed to Istanbul? Even when the Saxons conquered the Anglos it did not destroy their society, it killed their ruling class and mutated it. Technically even the cultural group description is an anachronism with Feudalism dealing with subdivisions via bloodlines and allegiences.

Collapse of an entity or entities in which there was widespread dependency has lead to a vacuum, at least briefly.
> It did. And even if it had not in this particular case, it will hurt the company in the long run.

Honestly, having been on plenty of interview panels for a decade now for DevOps and SRE roles, I'm not sure structured interviews, no matter how awesome they are, can solve the recruitment diversity problem. The war was already lost the moment the job description was published, IMO.
If you think landscapers have no choice but to use machinery that is literally poisoning them – because they can’t otherwise compete with all the other landcapers who are willing to poison themselves – then a government ban on these toxic devices becomes even more important! There is a serious social justice problem here: poorly paid, disempowered, often undocumented immigrant landscaping crews are putting their health on the line for the convenience for rich people’s often unnecessary garden maintenance.

But it is certainly a choice not to provide essential safety gear (in this case, high quality respirators and hearing protection) to employees who are doing dangerous work. These 2-stroke motors are particularly difficult to guard the ears against, because they make very loud low-frequency sounds.

The same kind of argument you are making here (via passive aggressive insults rather than direct statement, I might add) could justify pretty much any occupational health hazard. Thankfully regulators and the voting public have over the years regulated some of the worst abuses out of workplaces. Hopefully soon gas-powered leaf blowers will be among those in the dustbin of history.

And no doubt if he'd been in India designing a system for an Indian library, there'd be more distinction between Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh sects (nevermind those the not lumped together) and Christianity, especially denominations not usually found in India, would be the 'handful of afterthought headings', the ones with few books, and the books themselves doing more lumping together having less focus and depth on one niche.
For those who don't know:

This is funny but for most Christians wildly incorrect (I'll add another funny one that used to be somewhat correct in my case towards the end.)

As a Christian I'll more or less want to save anyone who is in danger, no questions asked, as long as it doesn't put anyone else in danger. The reason is simple: besides being the obvious right thing to do as a human it also means we'll either have a good person living here for a while longer or a bad person will get another chance to change their ways (and have a very powerful reminder to do it).

I believe this is true for most of us.

As promised, an actual funny joke that used to hit home with me :

As someone enters heaven they go past multiple groups and the tour guide say: here are the righteous from this group and here are the righteous from that group until suddenly he tip toes past a door, saying: "here's <x> group and they think they are alone here".

(That said I'm still afraid many will be up for a rude awakening whatever group they feel they belong to if they aren't don't actually walk the walk.)
That's an interesting observation, because paired with the elite overproduction hypothesis, it implies that allowing skilled immigration destabilises the country those people are entering, and stabilises the one they have left.
It would work if they basically copy the current value of the identifiers (i.e. by-value, not by-reference). Or by capturing the procedure context. You can synthesize the variable capture by hand but that would indeed force everything into a string, which is a potential performance issue and would also break any sort of automatic lifetime management.

Even just making it easier to have lambdas reference variables from their creation scope while the creation scope is still on the stack would be an improvement. Today you can use [info level] and then construct a lambda body that uses [upvar #$level …] to reference variables from the original scope, but it's a PITA. Or you could cram the level into a temporary namespace variable to avoid having to manually construct a body string, but it's still a PITA.
Considering the primary trait of right wing libertarians is hypocrisy-fused self interest, I'd say he's right on the mark.
That’s a clever business idea. Governments will usually demand you register a company in order to be able to legally export them.

Fortunately this is also the simplest to implement, since this is the default. So just don't go out of your way to write code to restrict these to some arbitrary subset of characters and tell me I have an "illegal name".

Well, If you look at both the PS5 and XBox One X, both of them are running customized AMD SoC's. But basically, that's just a AMD APU.

If my memory serves me correctly, the PS3 for comparison had a custom Cell CPU which was used for supercomputer clusters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster
So they must have had some kind of edge compared to normal PCs.

I think you have a good point but with the worst example. Though the example is good in that it shows the nuance of how it's clearly not always the best choice.

If you're doing something like a system update where you're updating shared libraries, you don't want to get the kernel and glibc yet only half the libraries. You could easily end up in a state where you're not able to rerun the install or even free space without booting up a live USB or something.
what are you doing to cause these crashes or what hardware?? i use manjaro and pop_o, makes no sense since i get less crashes then windows and my computer is on for days without anything crashing, other then me writing a bug and crashing my own stuff :) i do lots of work and gaming on them so i don't know why your experience is so different.
Something wrong doesn't become one iota better, or acceptable, because bigger evils exist. By that logic, persecuting homosexuals is perfectly fine, because bigger evils than that exist, too.

And no gay person suffered millenia of persecution, not even non-persecuted individuals live that long. You might as well say carbon-based lifeforms suffered millenia of persecution at their own hands and call it a day.

Exactly, I played RuneScape a bunch in highschool and would spend some weekends just grinding. Sounds boring af, but the fun thing was talking with my friends, or with complete strangers. MMO may be able to use social interaction to offset the problems of grinding, although it's probably not for free. Some incentivization for interacting with others, and safety features to feel comfortable to reach out, are needed.

> the USA distinguishes "natural-born american citizens" from "american citizens". The law in America forbids a foreign-born citizen from being president.

The US has one law making that distinction, and another in the Constitution guaranteeing equal protection under the law, which controls every other law. Beyond a doubt, and one minor, extremely narrow case, the US does not distinguish.
Not everyone loves to shop. I'm thinking we all like to save money though, right? These 10 Free Android Apps will help you do just that: they will save you cold hard cash and as a side benefit, they'll make you a more efficient shopper and will help you waste a lot less time getting the shopping done that you need to do. So, for no monetary cost, you can save a ton of time and build up all sorts of extra money by doing what you need to do already. Doesn't sound to bad to me!

“The aircraft behaved very well, and the recovery was surprisingly easy,” Xei wrote.

Sounds like the pilot is talking about the simplest thing in the world. Video makes the pilot seem incredibly calm in the face of the plane moving in a crazy way.

Edit: what would make the plane move that way?--it seems to recover after initial spin only to drop nose down, then start strafing (correct term?) left and right like it's in a half pipe before starting to spin again. It looks almost totally of control, to me it looks like it hit a wall of air. I have no idea. I'm amazed the pilot was so cool. Very impressive
