When programming, I will often have four or five general steps ahead jotted down.

If a sub-problem comes up, I might literally push the first sheet down on the stack, "open up" a new sheet, and then pop that off the stack when done, returning me to the previous sheet.

This tends to merge smoothly with what the article describes as the Ivy-Lee method, so far as having a context to refer to capturing larger tasks for a [next] day.
absolutely, I'm also guessing not many people did listen to these new format versions of these shows either.

the only time I've ever heard the Goon show or Hancock's Half Hour, has always been whilst listening to the radio (typically 2 or 4) that makes a reference to the shows and plays a few seconds clip

Within my limited field of family and friends I would say that people have heard about them, but have not really listened to them

> I can't create code with malware. I can't modify my code to make it malware.

I guess I can appreciate your confusion but I still think I was clear in my previous comment. I'm willing to concede I would have been more clear if I had written:

I can't legally create code with malware to distribute without a warning. I can't legally modify my code to make it malware if I know people are using it.

PS I'm not discussing this further

NieDzejkob is correct: In Rust, shadowing a variable has no effect on when the destructor of the previous value runs. Thus there's no problem with retaining a reference to the previous value:

let a_string = String::from("foo");
let retained_reference = &a_string;
let a_string = String::from("bar");
dbg!(retained_reference);
dbg!(a_string);

Prints:

[src/main.rs:5] retained_reference = "foo"
[src/main.rs:6] a_string = "bar"

Similarly, "non-lexical lifetimes" have no effect on when a destructor runs. The compiler will infer short lifetimes for values that don't need to be destructed (don't implement Drop), but adding a Drop implementation to a type will force every instance's lifetime to extend to end of scope. (Though as in C++, temporaries are still destroyed at the end of the statement that created them, if they're not bound to a local variable.)

The only exception to this rule that I'm aware of is what you mentioned about move semantics: Moving a value means that its destructor will never run. That's the big difference from C++. Everything else to do with destructors is very similar, as far as I know.
I didn't learn that food prices go up during a global drought because I knew that already.
You may have misunderstood my comment. The way the introduction of the article is phrased is funny, what scammers do is horrifying.

I've had people in my close family fall into debts to those folks, they target the weakest and literally go heaps and bounds to extract as much as they can from their 'mugus'.

Urbanization can help reduce income inequality

Measure a group of humans on N traits and take the individual average of each trait. For surprisingly small N (think 10-ish, but obviously depending on your group size), it's highly likely that no human in your group (or even in existence) falls within 10% of the average in every trait. This is roughly equivalent to the statement that less and less of the volume of an N-sphere is near the center as N increases.

Sometimes called "the flaw of averages". Of course I learned about this from another HN post recently:

Again, inflation isn't accounted for.
I also wonder if we can't make some conclusions from real world data over the last two years. Yes, the pandemic is a bit of a confounding variable, but from what I've been reading we have at least strong reason to believe that the support payments from unemployment both substantially contributed to inflation, and also reduced marginal propensity to work.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I think there's not much of a chance of this getting implemented in my country during my lifetime. We can't even agree to give people universal healthcare. I think if anything the pendulum seems likely to swing in the opposite direction given the political landscape nowadays. But even if I could decide this unilaterally . . . I'd probably want some other country to try it first, and see how it goes. It doesn't obviously seem like a good idea based on what I know today.
A foreign process’s environment variables are only readable if the current UID is root or is the same as the foreign process’s ID. As user joe I can’t see user andrea’s process’s envvars.
As you pointed out, it's not possible to achieve consensus on things like vaccines and masks, I don't think we should expect any differently in any sort of proposed change. There are always going to be opponents.

If we always chose not to do something because it would be met with resistance, then nothing would happen ever. The US passing the civil rights act was met with vicious resistance as it was happening, should it not have happened because there were critics of the law? Ultimately, I think we do need to raise pay and facilitate a higher level of discourse in those kinds of environments., regardless of what detractors will say.
I like this idea quite a lot. If you can write the tutorial itself in a "literate code" sort of way, the test harness should be able to consume the entire tutorial and run tests against it. Presuming, of course, that there's a way to tangle/weave using standard comments in Zig. Sounds like it could be a fun project. Could also serve as a way to auto-doc (like JavaDocs or similar using documentation generators).
They are rolling out computer tellers all around my area. If they haven't done it in your area it is coming.

> If UBI could be implemented in around the same cost as the welfare programs it replaces, it would have a net zero effect on inflation.

UBI is, by definition, Universal (e.g. given to everyone). Welfare programs are highly selective and only apply to a small number of people.

The only way to make them cost the same is to massively reduce the benefits given to the small number of welfare recipients, then give the balance to people who didn't previously qualify for welfare.

That's never going to happen, politically.
That doesn’t ring true. If you had the capital to make the decision not to work a crap-corp and instead pursue your dream “job” of being painter, musician, rock climbing explorer, artisanal fisherman, etc etc
It doesn't seem to me that apartment rents going up by $n/month when UBI of $n/month rolls out is an impossible proposition, since everyone can afford extra $n. Can you elaborate as to why this wouldn't happen?
Employees should not have to take verbal abuse, but must because they will get fired if they stand up to rude customers. I personally was "fired" for standing up to vicious customers more than once, and I only felt comfortable standing up for myself because I was young and single and could afford not to work for a month or two.

But I worked with plenty of people in retail and food service who were older and had families to support and mortgages to pay. They didn't have the luxury of putting their self-respect above their paycheck.

It's ironic to think that people put up with that level of abuse for 8 or 10 or $12 an hour. Now that I'm an engineer, he would be unthinkable for anybody to talk to me like that, but in food service I experienced it from both customers and managers on the daily.

If the only way anybody can stand working someplace is if they're so desperate that they can't afford to leave, that's a job that shouldn't exist.
They "chose" not to work because the whole entire point was encouraging people not to work during a pandemic.

> My point is - there are plenty of jobs where you absolutely will quit and not work if the basic income can provide a sufficient substitute.

You have no personal experience with UBI schemes, yet you think you know what people would do based on what you think you would do. A long time ago people thought that heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones. Then Galileo came along, conducted an experiment, and proved them wrong. It seems something similar is going on here. Peoples intuitions about UBI and joblessness are faulty and researchers are disproving them.
I sort of look at it as aiming at the spot where you could write the code in C with a sprinkle of C++ features and whether to add that sprinkle or do things like hand-rolling a vtable system where you need one is a decision that will vary depending on circumstances.

Though I believe the mozilla code it's replaced was all -very- C++.

To take a market perspective to this: I think there are some costs that people fail to accommodate for when comparing employment vs welfare. We used to consider homemaking an actual profession, because... it really is. Now that we are expecting households to have dual incomes, we are recognizing that income on paper, when in reality it always was there, it just was not formally recognized.

With the cost of childcare these days, staying home to earn $28,000 in welfare instead of working a job making $30,000 isn't laziness, it's a no-brainer. You have to consider the non-monetary "income".

$28K < $30K is the wrong math. It really is: $28K + 2000 hrs of opportunity cost > $30K

And to your second point: being fair is not the only reason to have assistance programs. Even if I don't think assistance programs are not fair I still support them so that there is less crime in my neighborhood, etc.
Except for the email providers who have to pay for engineers to fight in the spam arms race as well as pay to host spam email. I wouldn't be surprise if the majority of email providor storage was holding spam; signal to noise ratio seems extremely low.

You would think that these companies like microsoft or google that pay for these hosting costs would put more pressure on ISPs to ban clients that are clearly sending millions of trivally greppable spam emails an hour.
There's a pretty big difference between doing dynamic memory allocation for string concatenation on ALL systems, and doing software addition on some embedded processors. Even on your embedded system, floating point addition is simpler than string concatenation.
Giving fire to a society that does not have it greatly increases their power and efficiency to a much greater extent than does giving the printing press to a society that not have it.

So what I'm saying is that while the invention of the internet was a big change to everyone, for those on the other half of the curve from the village idiots it was a change that let them do things they were already doing but faster and more efficiently (an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary step, much like the Gutenberg's printing press was to 15th century Europe), but for those down in village idiot territory it allowed them to do things with information that they had not been able to do before such as large scale collaboration (a revolutionary change rather than an evolutionary change, much like the discovery of fire was for early humans.
If those people aren't getting paid a very high wage, they can reduce their working hours too.

If they are getting paid a very high wage, then they already had the leverage needed to reduce their working hours, and they were choosing not to. They'll still make plenty of money.
Consequence of the generic SSID is that your device will try to connect to any instance of this SSID and re-prompt for a password when it fails to do so.
This seems sarcastic but the amount of resources that has went into building all casinos, casino sites, and everything related to the industry dwarfs the amount of resources that have went into bitcoin by a lot.

If it seems otherwise it might be because you see articles on Bitcoin's energy consumption all the time, and not as much about casinos.

That and they used to have an excellent catalog of movies. I haven't watched a full length feature film on Netflix in almost year, because all of it is such garbage. Prime Video has a better movie catalog than Netflix now. My kids very occasionally watch something on Netflix Kids, but that's not even compelling these days. It's a running joke in the household that my spouse will spend an hour trying to find something decent to watch, only to hand the remote to someone else, who immediately exits Netflix. And their original content is so bad often enough that we have to look at online reviews just to try to avoid wasting 30 minutes on something that'd make a B movie look good.

Honestly I don't know why I'm still paying.

As a Finn, working at an U.S. company, small talk is something I really struggled with and still don't fully understand. The people I interact with it seems like we have found sort of a middle ground, where people obviously still ask "How are you?", but people still feel comfortable to answer "Not so well, XYZ happened". Maybe I'm naive but I feel like that helps prevent issues from getting too big and offers a safe space to share how you feel and get compassion from your peers.
> It wasn't even 'original' in that it was a UK series years earlier. I understand they made changes, and, IIRC, milked it for a lot more than the UK series.

I hear you, but the first season of the US House of Cards comprised the action of all three series of the UK version. It's hard to say that the Netflix version was not original considering it went on considerably longer.

Hi,

Yes, and as discussed on Twitter, sRGB is defined for the CIE 1931 2 Degree Standard Observer, not other observers. It is not defined spectrally but as a set of chromaticity coordinates (in the CIE 1931 Chromaticity Diagram). Thus, strictly speaking, sRGB values can only be computed for the CIE 1931 2 Degree Standard Observer. I tried four different observers, using strict integration:

- CIE 1931 2 Degree Standard Observer: [ 153.9026317 , 180.75617631, 255. ]
- CIE 1964 10 Degree Standard Observer: [ 150.32288938, 184.67113624, 255. ]
- CIE 2012 2 Degree Standard Observer: [ 145.14899585, 180.69807338, 255. ]
- CIE 2012 10 Degree Standard Observer: [ 148.44893332, 185.66849549, 255. ]

> If the last 10,000 years of relative climate stability is unusual--and it seems to be at least within the context of the last 100,000 years--then how can you argue it's "bad for life"?

Edit: I'm not arguing that 10k years of climate stability is bad for life. The opposite, actually.

I don't really think that the climate of 100,000 years ago matters too much, aside from the fact that our species (and those we rely on) survived. The critical difference is the last 10,000 years of relative stability is the period during which human population reached billions. I'm sure we can survive a return to inclement weather, but we probably won't thrive.
Agreed. The way I see it is that UBI has all the makings of an abusive relationship. One party supports the other, while there is no reciprocation. You don’t have to contribute to the society - the society will support all your basic needs.

Without a strong incentive for reciprocation we are solving half of the problem, while ignoring the negative consequences.

In a way it’s similar to how large mental institutions were closed in the US (the idea that had some merits), and now just ignore people with severe mental problems until they either injure themselves or someone else.

My dad believes 30-foot tall giants once roamed the earth, and that the archaeological evidence is being suppressed by mainstream academia and the government. He believes this based on a passage from the Bible and some YouTube videos.
I messed up, I meant Jellied Eels.
One of the touted benefits of UBI is that individuals are better able to allocate money to meet their needs than some outside entity. However some results from Canada showed that some people continued to spend "irresponsibly". Rather than spending money on food, shelter, medicine and clothing, some continued to spend on maintaining addictions and/or entertainment, then still required assistance from the system. Can a society rely solely on UBI to help the down-trodden? I don't think so, in some cases you have to directly give food, medicine and shelter.
The bigger danger is its just a path to the end of democracy. If the 50.1% can just vote themselves a bigger piece of the pie, how long before the morlocks decide they don't like supporting a bunch of eloi. If the morlocks decide eloi votes don't count, what are they going to do? Go on strike?
Show HN: Golang Cafe – Go Jobs Board – You Can Now Filter by Minimum Salary
Hi Everyone, I have been working on and off on Golang Cafe for a couple of years. Golang Cafe[0] is the first Go job board with no recruiters and clear salary ranges. Engineers apply directly to companies. There is always a developers section where you can submit your Go developer profile and get hired (for free)[1]. This weekend I have added a new feature. It's now possible to filter jobs by minimum compensation. So for example here's a list of all Go jobs paying at least $100,000+ a year[2]. The project is open source [3]. Any criticism is very welcome.

Even if it wouldn’t reduce people's willingness to work (which the article doesn’t prove in any way), people would work on whatever they feel like, not on what our society needs.

Because in the job market, wage signals work like price signals in other markets: they incentivize people to move in the direction most valued by the economy. Like IT right now.

So we may be doomed to a society of grasshoppers with nobody willing to be the ant - like in the old fable.

It doesn’t seem obvious that people who didn’t put money into cryptocurrencies were wrong. Even if you happened to through sheer luck buy low, sell high during one of the pops, that doesn’t mean everyone else was wrong any more than saying someone else was wrong for not playing roulette and selecting the right ending slot.

Pandemic driven wage increases haven’t been happening long enough to drive just too much automation yet - supply chains and all that would greatly limit how fast that will roll out. It will be interesting if in 5 years I’d wages stay at current levels how much automation displaces them.

I think the name works - OP has a target audience in mind and the name speak to that. In fact I immediately thought of hodle.rs as a suggestion, but it it appears to be taken.

I can see how one might not find the name appealing if not a part of that audience. Is cryptocurrency content something that interests you in general? If so, can think of a name that wouldn’t be off putting but still communicate the intent of the site?
I also found it very weird, but here's my intuition.

There are 2^k > 512 spheres stuck to eachother across k-d (pretend k=9). The line from the center to the point where the inner sphere touches one of outer spheres has to shortcut through all k dimensions to get from the center to the sphere.

This distance has been massively inflated due to the number of dimensions. But the distance to the edge of the box hasn't been inflated - it's just constant, so the inner sphere breaks out.

"Very poor" seems harsh, but, yes, it hurts us, too. (That, and text with slightly-off baselines.)

The relevant code starts around https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/blob/main/lib/common/... If this isn't right, maybe somebody can figure out why. Perhaps the loop stops sometimes on the wrong side of the boundary? Anyway, it's equally possible that when the endpoint coord is handed off to a lower level driver, the arrowhead mitering is wrong. There is no question there was once upon time explicit code to try to cope with this problem, at least in the native PSgen, but I can't find it now. Maybe it wore away as waves of open source development washed over it, along with static tables for a bunch of "standard" PS fonts.
