Isn't this exactly what this argument shows? In older versions of C++, if you have an object with a non-const sub-object with a const member, and you give this object to a library, and then that library uses placement new to replace the sub-object within your object, you had to use std::launder to keep referring to the fields of your object, or you'd invoke UB.

In newer C++, thankfully, this is no longer required.

Edit: found a committee paper discussing exactly such cases:

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2017/p053...

Obj x;
x.use(); // ok
mutate(x); // does this call placement new?
x.use(); // may have undefined behavior
std::launder(&x)->use(); // may be necessary
x.use(); // may still have undefined behavior
I tried to use wit. Evidently I failed.
Here is what I'm doing:

- All work is meaningless, so I started seeking the ones that pay the most (banks, hedges, FAANGs).

- By making a lot of money early, I plan to soft retire in five years (with 35) - I will take a loooong vacation, then work as a freelancer / consultant as I please.

- Without the fear of starving or being old without cash, I will pursue stuff I like.

PM me in five years and I will tell you whether I succeeded.
Yep, Kedro and Metaflow are more similar to each other than to other generic DAG orchestrators like Airflow.

Kedro and Metaflow make it easier to develop robust ML projects where orchestration plays an important role but it is not everything. They are two separate projects, so the way how they approach the problem differs greatly in details.

Irix! When I got my MFA in '88 we had Mac IIs, Amigas, and a SGI workstation. There was a huge difference: the macs/amigas sat quietly on the work desks in their sleek beige boxes, the workstation was about 3'x2'x3' box with roaring fans that whirred menacingly from beneath the desk, and took up all legroom.
Not everyone wishes to sit in front of a computer screen for sometimes 16 hours a day trying to work out why some race condition in a monolith application is affecting database performance and bringing the whole application to a grinding halt when someone click "upload report".

Also most Software Engineers outside of the US don't make that much money either. I've been working for about a decade and if I don't work as a consultant getting high five figures in the UK is difficult outside of London. The UK pays better than many other countries, but not nearly as well as the US.

That combined with working with people that are short-sighted, lazy or are unwilling to learn anything beyond basics leads to frustration, burn-out and depression when you want to produce something that is moderately decent.

Also the job has almost no prestige to it. Many people have no conception of it and even if they do it is usually a poor one thanks to decades of shoddy software (and the churn related to it) being pushed into their work and/or personal lives.

You are essentially right that prepared meat played a big role in our evolution, but we're at a point now where growing seasons are less of an issue due to the global economy, and things like incomplete proteins from eating a single type of locally growing bean can be handled through more diverse sourcing.

If we were really trying to optimize, we might look at tradeoffs WRT locally raised meats vs grains and beans that have to be shipped around due to growing season type issues. But really what we're doing now is shipping meat all over the world, which is like the worse of both worlds.

Anyway, we can get by with a little meat. I'm under the impression that our current diets are pretty weird historically. You don't need meat with every dinner.

Because from their perspective, things don't look like that. From their point of view, it probably goes something like this: "The worker is supposed to work extra hard, but now they are resting, AGAIN! Now I'm gonna say something so they finally start working again" without considering any other perspective about situations.

It's really hard to read people without speaking to them, and most middle-managers just try to read people even though most people are honestly pretty shit at doing that, so they misread situations all the time.

In this particular scenario, notice it says "I'm thinking..." instead of "I said...". Not sure why they didn't tell their supervisor "I'm hot and about to faint", but knowing the average supervisor at Amazon, I do understand why you wouldn't talk about it.

I don't really avoid that kind of movie if it has any depth. It's generally the element of the film that's the sound of tinkling brass though, less substantial and more easily ignored than paid attention. For example I find there is a line-of-no-return where computer tech movies cross into corporate culture concerns, and I find those movies much less interesting in terms of the tech aspect.

Good examples are movies like Sneakers or WarGames or even The Net, where some computer culture aspects are either clearly fleshed out or given attention as their own unique world that may supercede what corporate is doing or aware of. If corporate endorses it, yeah no, that's often more of a morality play.
It always amazes me, in situations like this, that people just end up suffering even though the machine is "working on their behalf." Like, I used to have this idea – I have no idea where it came from – that if a crime happened to you, the government would step in and help you. Like, if your family member is murdered in your home, they'd come in and clean it up and help you fix the door since you'll be inconsolable. Or, if you get fired for something like this that the government would help you get back on your feet and make sure you have a place to stay and pay your bills. How utterly childish and naive that was.

This country has no safety net and that's terrifying.

For bigger releases we all hop on zoom and someone can play some music and eventually press the button to launch so there is some kind of shared moment. Then afterwards people can expense a dinner for their family.

For smaller releases we let the team who build it to write the changelog[1] entry and share with social/users and celebrate it internally. Generally I think it's important that people feel their work is recognized and often they get instant love from users too.

PHP "associative" arrays are modeled after AWK, which is in turn modeled after SNOBOL4.

All of this predates JSON, by decades.

https://ia903404.us.archive.org/0/items/pdfy-MgN0H1joIoDVoIC...

Page 182: "Associative arrays were inspired by SNOBOL4 tables, although they are not as general. Awk was born on a slow machine with a small memory, and the
properties of arrays were a result of that environment. Restricting subscripts to be strings is one manifestation, as is the restriction to a single dimension (even with syntactic sugar). A more general implementation would allow multidimensional arrays, or at least allow arrays to be array elements."

While I do agree that having each day have its own line is better. I'm not 100% sold on the variable length bars.

Great, I can see the place is open later on Thursday (for example), but how does that information alone help me? It doesn't tell me the time or even in relation to the other days how much later it would be open, all I know is "later". Sure, if I knew my schedule prevented me from getting there before a certain time, I can begin by looking at the latest time, but it still doesn't tell me if the days with earlier closings would still be acceptable. So no matter what, I'm still checking all the days for closing times.

Often the case is I know I have a certain day off, so I'd want to check the place's schedule for that day so I can plan around it.

I'd also lead with Saturday/Sunday as the weekends are the days most people would likely have off.

IMO it's a bit uncharitable to presume a person did not think through his new position. Generally novel events cause people to think through their life's choices.

Dropping off alchohol has zero downside and will statistically improve health a bit if the drinking has been only moderate. If one yearns the social meetings one can drink non-alcohol drinks and still have a good time (unless the person has severe anxiety issues and is using alcohol as cure).
It’s almost certainly a broken implementation.

I have no idea here but, as an example, I’d expect the behaviour you describe if someone tried to mix Recaptcha V2 and Recaptcha V3. They might get a score from V3 and, if that score is low, they challenge with V2 as an “escape hatch” to prove you’re not a bot. But then they might have messed it up and redirect you back to a V3 check which still gets a low score. Cycle repeats.

In fact, they may well be testing an upgrade from V2 to V3 which could behave the same if they test both at once instead of A/B test.

This is pure speculation. Probably 100 other ways they can mess it up.

The research and statistics are trending toward the conclusion that there are no safe levels of exposure to pollution, car/ICE or otherwise. The 2021 WHO report is pretty good/interesting stuff https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/345329/9789...

Personally, I’m pretty certain that cars are a bigger contributor to overall air pollution than cigarettes. I would guess much bigger, however Googling this question will return studies that claim to show cigarette pollution is worse per gram of smoke or whatever.

I don’t know what it means to lose a year of education, that sounds like it could be a little hyperbolic, and hyperbolic stuff does get said unfortunately.

Anyway, we can and should work on both problems, cars and cigarettes, we don’t need to limit ourselves to which one is worse, they’re both bad. Smoking alone really does contribute significantly to early mortality globally, so it really is a problem to solve.

Cigarettes are also, unlike cars, a completely optional choice. Unlike the reasons to drive, the reasons to smoke are not backed by any economic needs or economic benefits aside from income to the tobacco companies. There is no socially redeeming value to smoking, where there is a lot for cars (jobs, food distribution, transportation & travel, etc). So, it will be far easier to stop people from smoking, and reduce overall death, than it will be to stop people from driving.

Apparently they meant to say "modern Linux on a 486SX" as, obviously, Linux ran just fine on a 486 back when all this stuff was new. (Mine was a 486DX/33, but with 4GB of RAM. Compiling a kernel took 8 hours, but I digress.)
Yeah, that's nonsense, or at least it is if you're talking about a system of significant complexity. Some simple greenfield app with a couple KLoC might not be complex, but most systems are hundreds of thousands if not millions of lines of code. They probably use HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Sql queries, a dozen or more libraries (which are also complex) on top of the actual core code. Inconsistent patterns and legacy code are also present, and you need to have a decent understanding of whatever domain you're working in.

Just with that level of complexity, you need a unique attitude and problem solving ability that many people can't or haven't developed. You need to be willing to stare at a computer screen for hours, without quitting due to frustration or boredom.
It's obviously not just the masks that harm kids. It's events being canceled, being subjected to arbitrary rules, and most of all probably remote learning. Masks are just the tip of the iceberg.
I’d seriously look into BitTorrent for this use case, as it sounds ideal. You can even configure your client to run a script after torrents are completed, so you could script the update migration with minimal code. You can also setup upload/download limits easily.

I think Resilio Sync might also be a good option; I think it may even use BitTorrent internally. (It was formerly known as BitTorrent Sync, not sure why they changed the name.)
And all they had to do is hamfist an actual worthwhile operating system into their machines.

The number of lines of code in use has to be high, but there is a great deal of COBOL code. Who is coding new COBOL, or PHP? Ruby looked promising, but fizzled. Sticking power is necessary, but not sufficient. Rapid increase is necessary, but not sufficient.

To get that miracle, you need both. Sticking at low adoption is the same as fizzling. Peaking but not sticking is fizzling. There are millions of ways to fail, a whole selection laid out for every language to choose from. Most languages pick one, and do. Succeeding takes a lot of good choices, and negligibly few bad ones. Failing to ease adoption where possible is a bad one.

>areful, the French measure of “poverty” is a percentage of the median income. It’s more an indicator of inequality than anything else

It does say "below the 1,063-euros-per-month poverty line in France" which whether it was calculated with the median income in mind or not, it's quite fine as a poverty measure, not just inequality (that's like making less than $12K/year, or if we adjust for cosr of life, less than $18K/year or so).

Yep, I clearly remember it took just about 8 hours to compile a kernel on a 486 with 4MB of RAM. Upgrading to 16GB was a $400 proposition at the time, but when I finally got new hardware, I was shocked to realize this whole kernel-compiling thing was supposed to take minutes.
600dpi A4 means roughly 5000×7000 (35,000,000 pixels). Even 300dpi is 2500×3500 (8,750,000 pixels).

The current typical resolution for 10–13″ tablets (A4 is about 14.3″) is 1404×1872, which is 2,628,288 pixels. You’re asking for 13× as many pixels, and 3× as an entry level. However you arrange it, it’s going to use a lot more power and probably need more memory and a more powerful CPU/GPU.
