> Apologies, but "ignoring the situation completely with undpredictable results" is the exact opposite of "assuming the situation cannot occur and acting on that assumption".

Seems to me it's not the opposite but the exact same thing.
>Plastic buttons are pretty damn useful

You are right, but

I HATE buttons. I. HATE. Them. If there is one invention that need to be "disripted" it is the button. It is slow to button or unbutton something. If I'm tires and my fingers are wobbly, it suks. I can't button things in the dark. They break. Uuufff

My hatred for buttons came about when I had my first borne daughter. There are a lot of infant clothes with buttons. The lights are dim. The baby is wiggly. I'm exhausted. And these >< buttons won't close!

Velcro is better. Zippers aren't too bad. Magnets are fancy. I bet if we put our heads together, we could do better than the button

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk
If React doesn’t click for you, try out Svelte! You can do the interactive tutorial in one sitting[0]. It’s a breath of fresh air, incredibly productive, and countless React developers express intense feelings of joy and relief when describing their transition. Many people report that React feels outdated, convoluted and unintuitive in comparison.

I don't mean to present a false dichotomy, thank you for alerting me that I may have. Slowing it down is obviously helpful and anything we can do to accomplish that is important. In Canada I'm still doing everything I can because it's not clear that we've peaked - the government is saying we have but they've also cut way down on testing so I'm not sure. In South Africa and increasingly in the UK it looks like a different story.

Once hospitalizations are in decline most of the population will have been exposed.
About two years ago, I was researching this very topic and ended up with an HP z400 workstation. I maxed out the RAM at 48GB, put in the best Xeon available, put in a mid-range video card, and installed a SATA 2 HBA and SSD. It idles just under 100 watts which isn't ideal but it's been a fun project and a great workstation. I see it like buying an older car and fixing it up. It takes some knowledge and research, it's not as fast or sleek as a modern car, but it's YOURS and you know it inside and out.
Recipes please.
That's surprising to me because I would think of scala (and Erlang, elixir etc) as utilitarian fp languages, I refer to them as "working persons languages".
Even though hospitalizations are up, death rate is basically 0

Sure, it sucks, but there are a lot of diseases out there that can put your child in the hospital that we’re not imposing restrictions for.
Insufficient information.

Have you taken other/alternate measures to prevent yourself from becoming a risk factor to yourself and others?
I completely agree. That said, I tend to hold minimalist views in software generally.
Is there one valid reason why?
Half the websites you use everyday need some kind of bots to function.
> The only thing I'm dreading is the smugness of the antimask/antivax crowd who will ignore the herculean effort that avoided complete collapse of the health system and just claim they were right all along.

I am pretty happy that the vax-mandaters are being taught a lesson by the virus. They would have pulled through otherwise.
I think that would clean up C++ far less than you think.

Most of C++'s problems come from it trying to offer 0-cost abstractions, at any cost to language complexity.

That's an interesting question — this kind of hiring probably ends up biasing the hiring process towards a certain kind of people.

Not saying it's right or wrong, I'm just saying that this type of situation (giving up higher wages for opportunity or mission) definitely selects for certain types of people in certain situations.
This is true for interaction between pure functional code and the "outside world". It forces you to state all out assumptions about said interaction up front and often deal explicitly with all possible errors that may arise from your assumptions failing.

Once that is done you can stay mostly in "pure land", which is quite a blissful experience.
There are only seven states in the USA that recognize common law marriage (out of 50).
The coolest thing I've seen in this space is Hristo Bojinov's work on implicit learning. Meaning the password is planted into user's brain without them conciously knowing it so they can't be coerced to reveal it.

Not sure if it got any further traction, though.

Here is the paper from USENIX Security 2012:

> I do miss a bunch of Facebook internal tools. Phabricator, Workplace, Scuba, Deltoid and a bunch of others.

I had the opposite experience leaving Facebook for a company that uses externally-available tools.

I do miss 2017 Scuba, Workplace, and Deltoid, since they worked well in Facebook's ecosystem. I do not miss the 2021 versions of those tools (and of most other internal tools in Facebook), which are bloated messes with less functionality and also somehow being slower and more resource-heavy.

One of my positive impressions when moving companies are how much better Grafana, Prometheus, JIRA, Slack, and many other external tools are from internal Facebook tools.

It makes sense if you see it from an influence perspective: external tools need to improve to get new users and retain current ones, but Facebook's tools need to constantly add new features to get PSC performance points and they always keeping a guaranteed audience of the entire company.

Things have become really cool for devs in the Windows world, I almost don’t have complaints these days :)

(other than GUI related stuff and that Windows Insider is really unstable, but I guess that’s on me for using the dev channel)
A statistic like this is meaningless unless qualified and supported with a link to a reliable source. All hospitals in the US, UK, European countries, South America, world?
No one has enough wealth to hire divorce lawyers for 20 years. Even Bezos would be on the streets.
How do you get one without the other? If typescript weren't (sufficiently) reliable, large projects written in typescript wouldn't be (sufficiently) maintainable.
Well, it's not like the South Bay has culture.
This won’t work unless large numbers of people can go back to being farmers and leave their pointless lives in bullshit jobs sitting at a computer looking at Facebook all day. We would have to pay farmers a real wage again and pay more for healthy food that tastes great and doesn’t kill us. It sounds like a beautiful future and I’ve been contemplating and wishing that could happen for humanity a lot recently. I recommend the documentary Ingredients if you haven’t seen it. It’s on Tubi for free. It changed the way I look at food and the world.

It's also not compliant in European countries, as the process to deny consent to cookies is more complex and less obvious than to accept them.

There must be a "reject all" button of at least equal prominence to the "accept all" button.

All these "cookie minigames" are specifically designed to gaslight users into thinking that privacy laws are a problem for users, rather than for the data abusers.
That is Administrative Law sadly. One of the saddest realizations of my life. Congress ceded fine-grained lawmaking to executive agencies established under statute for that purpose. It's just how it works.

Regulators won't ruin your day during onboarding, unless you're not even trying to be legit. Even then, they'll evaluate where you are at, and help you develop a compliance roadmap consistent with best practices.

Now if you fail to meet that or drag your feet...
In France civil partnerships are now more popular than marriage. You get most of the benefits and it's much easier to dissolve one.
If Rust is not to fizzle like Ada (which got overwhelmingly more investment than Rust has had) it needs a radically faster adoption rate. While several traps imperil Rust's wider adoption -- pathetic compile speed is another: consider JIT in the compiler! -- the borrow checker is an important roadblock for beginners.

There is no practical need to enforce borrow checking on all debug builds: it suffices, for beginners, to know that a production build would fail. Forbidding any sort of testing until after the borrow checker is wholly satisfied generates pointless frustration. Can Rust really afford to drive beginners away? For Rust not to fizzle and die, it needs thousands to adopt it for each who already has. Saying "I persevered, you could too, given some backbone" is a recipe for failure.

Is it strictly worse to (1) let beginners deal with borrow checking a little later in their process, or for (2) the language to fizzle and die? Dying is still a punishingly likely prospect. Network effects matter. I doubt that failing to achieve mainstream adoption would be good for Rust, for current Rust users, or the world.

Everyone considering a language to learn has plenty of choices. A language rarely gets a second try.
It's not causing as many hospitalizations per infection. But it's causing far more overall hospitalizations because the increase in infections vastly outweighs the decrease in seriousness.

The problem is and always has been "what if the health care system is overwhelmed".
All the hysterics in the comments over censorship and suppression.

Wake up.

1. This is an article proving that people still have a voice.

2. The article shows a tiny fraction of those who got vaccines are experiencing major adverse side effects that are not yet explained.

3. If you told someone that there was a 1 in 100,000 chance this could make their life worse they rationally would still take the vaccine. The only people this affects are the irrational.

Should people have informed consent? Yes. Does that mean you have to outline in excruciating detail every single rare chance that there is the remotest possibility of happening to them? Maybe, but I'd argue humans are terrible with statistics and worse with action: it's better for everyone and for each individual to know there are infinitesimal risks and huge, immediate benefits.

Which is exactly what has been said. Long covid from vaccines is a new tiny risk that needs to be studied. But if you don't want long covid the best way to avoid it is still to take a vaccine. It's not a choice here: it's just mathematically provable.
"The page you were looking for could not be found. " Maybe someone found out since then. :)
If you can't change it or revoke it, then it should not be used for positive security or for identity or authentication. It's the same as if it could change without any intention on your part.

That holds with biometrics too. If I have a new wart on my finger, or maybe a cut or a burn or something, can I still login with my fingerprint? If I'm logging in from a device without a camera, or in a dark place, can I still login with the facial recognition?

If I'm under a lot of stress and typing on a bubble keyboard or perhaps a touchscreen, instead of my usual buckling-spring mechanical keyboard in a relaxed setting, will your measurements of typing speed still allow me to login? What if I use a password manager that autotypes the username and password?

Any addition like that is another potential point of failure. And if it prevents legitimate use, then it's a bug.

However, it does have a place in flagging potentially suspicious activity for review. Banks, at least mine, do a great job of flagging and alerting on suspicious transactions. They've been doing that for many years. Those automated calls that say "Call back at the number printed on your card and press 1 if you authorized all four of the following transactions or 2 if you did not." have a really good success rate in my personal experience. But that doesn't prevent me from buying something or from logging in.

Behavioral profiles are useful, but not appropriate for passwords or identities.
I don't disagree with this, and I've never worked at MAGMA for these reasons, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't incredibly tempted. As an experienced dev (possibly not a great one though), I'm struggling to make ends meet with one dependent. Being able to eat out without having to update a spreadsheet to see what other things we're not going to be able to afford is a pretty big draw.

And I'm above the median for software devs in my area, but in a high CoL city in Canada.
The selection story doesn't sound plausible to me.
Wow, that’s exactly what I want and haven’t been able to quite put into words. And you’re the only person in a leadership position that I’ve seen who gets it. Maybe I should work for you!
Looking from Elm's side I find TS to be much closer to JS than to the middle ground.

ReasonML/ReScript or F#+Fable or Kotlin.js maybe more closer to what I consider the middel.

JS (which TS is a superset of) if just not a very well designed language.
There was a poll about this recently on HN and salary did actually score much higher than culture.

I think the reality is it’s complicated and many things need to be above a threshold, and reasonably better than their current role.
Slightly immature comment, but I'll bite. Chances of affair with heroin ending up being a nice story is absolutely 0. Chances of marriage being the one of the best decision in your life and ongoing source of content and happiness is pretty high, much higher than some comments here suggest. It can be something basic for few close friends and family, not those rather pathetic overblown mega weddings.

And yes it changes things - I didn't believe so myself, but it did, for the better. And that's without kids. Anytime I see non-married couple with their kids, its mostly the guy. Women often say they are OK with that but then tell their close friends how they wish they could be married. All I see is insecure person - and literally everybody I've ever met in that situation is insecure, you just have to look close enough.

But it became a bit of an art to marry well and of course its never 100%, but then what in life is. It can't be done for physical attraction alone. I would say that the SO needs to be a damn nice person to live with (for you at least) if you remove any physical attractiveness. There are tons of people who have naturally and genuinely good heart. Marry those, and only those. The chances for good marriage compared to average just jumped through the roof.

The second part is at least equally hard - be a good partner and father, consistently even if not truly permanently. Family takes priority about any pathetic career you consider so important and awesome. Any party, trips, plans, and so on. Don't lose yourself in marriage/parenthood and keep something that makes you feel alive, but be ready to postpone/downtune it. Chances now are even higher.

The last part is to be sure both sides are actually, truly, long term compatible. This takes time to find out. Similar personalities are much easier to work with compared to opposites. It can be speeded up by spending a lot of time together, tough and challenging time. Long active travels are great, if not possible a lot of small intense travel helps. Don't extinguish arguments (but don't provoke them), and watch how other side reacts. How both your reaction combine. How you both handle de-escalation. Ideal is to find passions that you truly share, the more the better. I for example wouldn't be able to live long term with a lady which doesn't share with me some mountain/adrenaline sports. Mine shares all of them but it took quite some time to find her.

Most couples these days, married or not, fail at least some time in at least 1 of those aspects. Over time, its source of wedge that cracks relationships that seem perfect in the beginning. But they are perfect only through the lens of emotions, which change over time. Cold, hard facts about persons changes much less often if ever.
This is... how Administrative Law works.

Don't shoot the messenger. I don't like it, but it is what it is. If it's any comfort, I don't find it comforting or desirable at all. Unfortunately, this is just the way Congress settled on doing things at the Federal level.
Perhaps I can set you up on a call with my grandparents and aunts and uncles so you can find out what life with measles and smallpox and polio was like. A few still have scars.

Those days are gone because of vaccine mandates.

I think some shopping is ‘security’ and ‘self-sufficiency’ impulses. However, at some point this tendency is exploited (leveraged) by industry and augmented by the tendency to peer pressure. Kids made fun of other kids who wore the same clothes over and over, for example. Not all groups succumbed to this, of course. The ‘punk’ and ‘metal’ kids didn’t get into that as much as others (though they each had their own ‘uniforms’) but they tended to be more static and you wore what you had… you didn’t need the latest Nikes (or these days Canada Goose) or what have you.
I didn’t resign because of the pay. I resigned because they never replaced other people that quit, fired, or promoted, so those remaining continued to get more work with no increase in pay. Not that I would have stayed if they even doubled my salary, it was simply an absurd, impossible amount of work and stress and nobody there gave a damn about the toll that it was taking on us. So I found a new job and told my old job to kick rocks. My new job is actually more pay and less work, go figure.
Wouldn’t the number be 80-90% less if people chose to be vaccinated and boosted?

If we didn’t have vaccines how much larger would the numbers be?
> US hospitalizations are at an all time high

Well, about that. A few governors have admitted what has been known by “conspiracy theorists” for the past two years: that included in the count of Covid hospitalizations are people who come to the hospital for something else entirely and happen to test positive [0]:

> Officials from New York City-based NYU Langone Health told The New York Times in a Jan. 4 report that about 65 percent of its COVID-19 patients were "incidentally" found to be infected after admission for other reasons. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul asked hospitals to adjust their reporting on COVID-19 hospitalizations beginning Jan. 4 to make the distinction between those admitted for the virus as their primary condition and those who incidentally test positive.

...

> "We have a few patients in the hospital for COVID, but not many, thank goodness," Dr. Jha tweeted. "More common on our service is folks admitted with COVID. That is, they came to the hospital for something else and found to have COVID."

So the count numbers have been exaggerated for who knows how long. An accident, I’m sure.

Thanks for that site, it's very interesting and a very worthwhile project.

I do note that their Omicron model was last updated on January 4, and they say "we suspect that Omicron also does not affect the hourly multiplier, but do not have data for this". Their suspicion comes from a paper published on December 16 that uses data collected in the last two weeks of November.
I've heard of people who buy new socks and underwear rather than wash them, but I doubt it's common enough to bend the average up.
That’s still not quite what I’m looking for.

It’s not the “not paying for Windows” angle for me. I don’t care much about that.

I can just treat it like an unused part of the package, like a foreign power adapter. It might even be useful someday.

What I really want is to positively pay for vendor Linux support, pre-installed.

I want the vendor to benefit from Linux and know why they’re supporting it for me.

I guess they could change that in the future though so it’s still worth keeping an eye on.
There's no benefit in producing robust clothing that can be washed and worn over many years if the populace at large is unwilling to pay for that robustness.

You'll just spend money to get provide a feature very few people actually care about and you'll hurt your competitiveness.

Much of the population was trained to be good little consumers and that's just what they are doing.
Not the poster you replied to, but: The very very few, of course I’d feel sorry for her but I’d not have made a different decision in pushing for vaccination. Any treatment could have adverse reactions, it’s just how it goes.
Wanted to say the same, because I've used in in the past. Don't remember the details, but basically a custom visualizer in VS which forwarded data to a Labview VI (because that has most basics, cursors, scaling builtin) over a local connection did wonders for debugging. Still, it's a cool idea this one.
Totally agree with this article, as a fellow HFT coder.

The problem in c++ is the surface where you might cause a memory problem is huge. Once it's there, it's a lot of work to test the hypotheses about where it is hiding. On top of that, these kinds of issues can escape your instrumentation in a way that other bugs tend not to. Add some debug lines, things get accessed differently -> Heisenbug. Mega pain in the ass to figure out, lots of time taking everything apart, sprinkling debug lines, running long tests to catch that one time it goes wrong in a million, and so on.

He's also right that the array access thing is not a huge thing, it can't possibly be what your decision turns on, and that most of the code doesn't have a tradeoff in performance, because it's in the config stage rather than the hot path.

Personally I've had a great time with Rust, it's far more productive than other typed languages I've used. On a business level, the issue with the type of bug mentioned above is it destroys your schedule. I've spent entire weeks looking at that kind of thing, when I was expecting to be moving on with other parts of my project. With my current Rust stuff, I'm doing what I expect to be doing: addressing some issue that will soon be fixed like adjusting some component to fit a new spec.
Why? Do you have any experience on lake ice?
So much extra work as compared with what?
In my experience WSL is a godsend for those who have to work on windows and like to integrate Linux tools in daily work.
Before there were things like cygwin, some ported tools, or Linux in vm. All limited and/or major pain to work with.

It's a pity, because it may be one of the best ways to get started the pure-FP while also getting some really cool "visible" things built (because it targets the browser).

I'd say forget about the drama and just build something with it. You will probably never notice anything from that drama while learning.
