danah (whom I truly respect and like as a person) practices something Watzlawick (1921-2007) called "Drowning 'duh' in data."

It's an old sociologist trick to seem as if you're talking about much more than you are, a way to turn a paragraph into a PhD thesis and thus obscuring the content and meaning of the paragraph.

Not quite as extensive and a little more to the point are the two blog entries posted by CTL:

* https://www.crisistextline.org/blog/2022/01/28/on-mental-hea... (Jan 28)

* https://www.crisistextline.org/blog/2022/01/31/an-update-on-... (Jan30)

In the second of those two, the author writes:

> We understand that you don’t want Crisis Text Line to share any data with Loris, even though the data is handled securely, anonymized and scrubbed of personally identifiable information. As a result, we have ended our data-sharing relationship with Loris.

Which is a little bit of a "stop whining, it's not identifying" backhand. That skirts the issue of "we don't want you to make money of someone else's suffering" and the question of ethics review.

If I want to share my data, with other academics or for-profits, I am required to go through an ethics review. danah boyd knows this, she's been in academia long enough. Others are CTL knew this as well. A good example would be the non-identifying data we gather from MRI scans which are used by the makers of MRI software to train a jitter-dejitter algorithm. The checkbox for the sharing of this, non-image, non-personally identifiable, data with the company (Siemens, Bruker, etc.) is hidden behind a "I have ethics committee review and here's the decision's file number and date" request.

CTL didn't get into trouble for sharing "data [that] is handled securely, anonymized and scrubbed of personally identifiable information" but for doing so without independent ethics review. And that's a huge no no in mental or physical health data.
> We'd learn so much if only we had a key. So much history inaccessible to us.

Well, as this post notes, one of the things that makes decipherment difficult is a lack of material.

The other side of that coin is that we aren't missing a lot.

The Zig creator is very conscious of this, talks a lot about rejecting many proposals and ideas to keep the language simple, not being an ass-hole about it, just to avoid what happened to C++.
> You are getting caught up in emotion.

What else is there? People don't enjoy the game because of logic and reason, they enjoy it because of emotion: it's fun, you get a feeling of accomplishment when you win, when you lose, you feel driven to do better tomorrow, etc.

It's all very very simple, and that's what's great about it.

Please stop with the "that's anti-hacker" rhetoric. That's the kind of talk designed to shut down discussion. I think it's only natural to be cynical of a big corporation like NYT buying up a small one-person creation. Wordle is great as it is. Maybe there are ways to improve it, but I doubt NYT can do anything the original developer can do, at least not without completely changing the game into something it's not.
>can't use OEM power steering / AC compressors

And why not? Power steering systems don't run on the HV system but on the LV system as every electric car has a DC/DC converter that bridges the HV and LV domains. So regardless if your cars is using 800V or 100V powertrain system, all the auxiliary equipment will still be on the 12V network.

I think the point was that horsepower is widely understandable and preferred in Europe as a unit of an engine power, despite otherwise using the SI units.
In particular you need to know what to simulate, because when you simulate you leave lots of things outside the simulation.

The only thing that proves that you made a good work ignoring those things is prototyping on the real world.

Without that it is just vaporware.
If Covid is endemic it will always be a bad time to scrap restrictions. But at some point you just have to. I am not from Denmark, but I completely understand most want to end the lockdown, as its effectiveness is questionable. The only reason would be "flattening" the curve, but I doubt that strategy has been proved effective.

Spain did the same and they seem fine.

I've not tested this carefully, but AFAIR GhostScript re-compresses raster images and JPEG decommpress/compress round-trip reduces quality. QPDF keeps images intact but probably compresses less (in rare cases it increases size so one have to check which file is smaller):

qpdf --recompress-flate --object-streams=generate --compression-level=9 in.pdf out.pdf
I really loved your point of view. Really, we need more of this.
I'm well aware (I've been part of the milk industry where farmers initentionally give it to cows to extend their lifespan and increase the yield, anyone who is new to this, see http://dhmo.org/milk.html )

I also have a sore knee after an incident relating to solid DHMO at my childrens hockey training in the weekend (my bad, I should have learned to use proper protection my now.)

That said, there is a large difference between DHMO where in its liquid form it will have a median LD50 of around 90,000 mg/kg and methanol who has a median LD50 of 810 mg/kg.
Do you have a concrete example of some operation where avoiding undefined behavior is impossible?

>Truly this is a very weird state of things, companies are getting tons of extremely cheap marketing (the cost is basically sending review units out) and there is a whole set of journalists that take advantage of our consumerism to generate content. Now, is this really a win for all? I don't think so.

I would say it is. Provided the coverage of the product's features is accurate and not misleading, if I see a product that I think is neat and buy it because of that, that's a win-win. I have something I like, the company gets money, and the reviewer gets content. This is basically advertising's idealized form. It only gets shady if there's misrepresentation of the product, or any of the other hacks.

>There's not really a need for them to exist as reviews are compiled and aggregated over the internet anyway. But idk, it's a difficult topic!

You wish, and I do too. One of the main features of a tech reviewer is relative consistency in review process. A GPU's performance is going to change drastically with the different devices with case, cooler and even climate affecting performance. Reviewers provide a degree of consistency there which cannot be replicated by the public at large. This can be somewhat mitigated by sufficient scale, but generally you're going to have to do far more work here. Note that one of the most common forms of compiled reviews are compilations of said tech reviewer's observed results.

Somehow I rage slapped my way out of that. No idea what I did.

I just don't understand the underlying motivation to lock things down like that. It like a cortisol fountain and I get wholly irrationally unreasonably mad. It's actually funny in retrospect.

I'm no physicist, but I do enjoy hypothesising what these sorts of things could be.

It's interesting when the question of what is driving electrons across these filaments at near-light speed is still open... could they be natural accelerators? What if you could ride one of these filaments?

Or what if they're like the exhaust trails of an FTL vehicle/body? Or something inter-dimensional?

Knowing they're very far away, are we looking for them closer to home? Can they even be observed with such clarity if they were closer to us?
In Germany it's fairly usual to have your dishwasher set in to the kitchen cabinets - you wouldn't know which cupboard is the dishwasher half the time. Having it project on to the floor means you don't need to have a screen that can't be seen while the door is closed (ours has buttons and screen on top edge, which you can't see while the door is closed.)
I hope they don't, at the very least we can afford to choose a new keyword. Even if auto was infrequently used, it's no good to silently change the meaning of existing valid programs.
I dislike C++ for the same reason I dislike all languages that try to be everything. You can use the language for years and there are still parts of it that you don't understand properly. C on the other hand has such a minimal and clear syntax that you can learn it pretty fast and feel confident about the language.
Unlike internal combustion engines, an oversized (for everyday driving) electric motor is not substantially less efficient in everyday driving than a normal-size one. In fact, oversized components are often more energy efficient (less electrical resistance etc).
> if you want more a "dumb" car (UX occurs primarily outside of a touchscreen, no internet, no geolocation) you lose all potential for any nice non-smart features. So no heated/powered seats, no power windows,

You can have all that when you buy a "good" base and get your features on the aftermarket. For the definition of "good" also consult your mechanic, he should know which cars are easy/nice to work with. I've been looking at reliable 4x4s that I can trust for daily off-road use in the outskirts of the Sahara and I currently favor a UAZ (20k Euro) base and modifications for 5k Euro (more gas tanks, proper seats, navigation and entertainment system).
Not really because it requires very esoteric configurations to avoid other users reading important files of yours. Unless you're willing to modify your default SSH (and other, apache, etc.) configurations out-of-the-box setup will leave all your data readable by other users.
As British citizen this confuses me too. If the NHS needs more money, we all need to pay more taxes to pay for it. Donating money to a government department is just weird.
I second all that you said, even about RTFM struggles. I'd like to expand on RTFM, thought: for me it really depends on how it's structured. If it's a very "formal" or dry docs, I have problems absorbing them, but if they're informal or playful, I'm much better at absorbing them, even of they're information dense.

There's a fine line, though. Too playful and you'll lose me.

Also, progressive build up with examples (especially interactive ones) help me a lot, too.

I think this might be true for everyone, but for dyslexic people especially.

Edit: ROFL. I proofread it and didn't notice the typos/poor word placement until after posting. Leaving them in, to remain in the spirit of the thread.
There is the fact that, at least in Fastmail's case, you're paying for the service so someone would need to pay a LOT for the data for it to be worth it to the company to risk losing paid customers.
This made me think of that peculiar vehicle where the wheel is massive and the driver sits inside. Can't remember what it's called now but I seem to remember a spoof version in South Park.
Please link directly to the study (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11606-011-1968-2) instead of just posting the PR announcement. I'll also note that this is part of the Northern Manhattan Study (http://columbianomas.org/). I'll also note that it's not directly about aspartame but diet sodas in general (so if diet sodas has a consistently higher caffeine, then that could be the reason). I've also noticed this phrase, although the study claims that increased cardiovascular risk on frequent diet soda consumption is still significant despite adjusting to these factors:

Frequent diet soft drink consumption was uniquely associated with white race, former smoking, hypertension, elevated blood sugar, lower HDL, elevated triglycerides, increased waist circumference, BMI, peripheral vascular disease, previous cardiac disease, and the metabolic syndrome. Frequent regular soft drink consumption was uniquely associated with male sex, black race, current smoking, carbohydrate consumption, greater diastolic BP, and lower prevalences of diabetes and hypercholesterolemia.

On the other hand, it was published in 2012 and the study was conducted in America, so almost all non-diet sodas were sweetened with either 100% HFCS or cane sugar/HFCS mix. It's harder to replicate today considering that most non-diet sodas has also added aspartame (or other high-intensity sweeteners) to the sweetener mix.
Be cool to hear some examples/war stories. Do you have a blog?
So what is the <title> then again exactly?

Because my takeaway from the article is this: C++ piled loads and loads and them some loads of stuff onto a slim, easy, comprehensible language, is now a gigantic pile of complexity. that has precious little to do with its roots any more...and every attempt to solve its problems includes piling on more complexity.

So, how is that a problem of C?

C is not responsible for C++, simple as that.
Same here. I come to HN to sense the heartbeat of the industry. What are the opinions, the controversies, the trends, the public sentiment. It's not even the technicalities that interest me herer.
You're not alone. I lost it. Microservices, k8s, Terraform, etc. I don't understand my industry anymore. 99% of the time, they're completely useless and add a ton of complexity to the project. Just sheep, junior mentality. Your product isn't going to succeed because you use the same stack as Amazon or Netflix. If anything, it reduces your chances of success.
I'm still a proponent of C as portable assembly, and any sort of optimizations / UB that gets used resulting in warning messages that can improve the source code of the program rather than the one time artifacts the compiler produces.

> C is the glue interface that connects all the different languages together.

That's one of the issues in most UNIX systems. Windows sidestepped it with COM (and a much improved WinRT as a successor, with a .NET-y object model). On Apple systems, Obj-C is pretty much usable from other languages too, being the standard ABI to glue it all.

My takeaway: bring one of those two options properly to Linux, which is needed hard by now, to not fall to the lowest-common denominator.

(C++ isn't a solution because of a dubiously stable ABI on quite some platforms)
I have a USB switch, my keyboard and mouse go into the USB hub on my monitor, and that hub is switched between my laptop dock and my windows pc. The monitor input is changed on the monitor. A proper KVM would be easier but is also many times more expensive.

I use my laptop open though, so I can still control it when using the windows pc.

For audio, I use a simple 3.5mm splitter. They work in both directions, so with the right combination of male/female 3.5mm cables you can merge the audio for about $10. There are fancier audiophile solutions too.

Something like synergy (from symless, there are competitors and FOSS alternatives but I can’t remember their names) might be good for your use case, to carry over m/kb input to the non-windows machine.
We know that wordle is completely trivial for computers to solve. Hiding the solutions won’t do anything to stop that particular behavior.

Sugary soda is associated with no better or worse health outcomes than diet soda. In fact both are similarly bad for you.

Of course it will be a circle jerk about how C is generally better because it is more simple. Then a bunch of people mentioning we should abandon C++ in favor of rust.

Some turbocharged combustion engines also have something called overboost, allowing short periods of operation at higher power than the "continuous" limit (again due to heat build-up)
Not offhand, no. It's been more than 5 years since I last did any serious C dev work.

But for an entertaining read, there are some fun stories floating around about Linux vs GCC with the kernel devs resisting compiler optimisations, and even holding back the "supported compiler versions" over it :)

There is one positive environmental aspect of high power electric motors if they are capable of recuperation: you can recuperate a larger portion of the kinetic energy which would be wasted otherwise as heat using breaks. This counts even for heavy cars running lower speeds or not accelerating fast.
Mostly will not pass safety or minimum equipment standards. Renault was known to sell cars in India with airbags that were inferior to what they supplied elsewhere. Indian emission laws are fairly strict but based on euro standards, so most cars should pass non ca emissions test.
Your examples for why C++ is bad are references, classes, and templates?

From what articles I read, the idea of discussing project work in 1-on-1s is considered more of an anti-pattern. You are supposed to talk more about personal concerns, how they are fitting in, if they need anything etc.

What these articles don't really prepare you for is when your report refuses to play ball and they just say they have nothing to talk about, everything is fine and ask for an early lunch. Much like the cynical commenters on this thread. Then you've got managers trying to 'reach these kids' and lots of friction.
I am of course talking about the meat you and I eat. Ancient cultures did have different bodies, different food source access, higher quality food probably, or, you know, most probably not the healthiest bodies of all time. After all they died at like 30 years old.
That still exists. We actually switched to that from Cloud Run. Cloud Run was a little too restrictive with background threads in our application. These basically get throttled in between requests and we kind of needed them not to be throttled. Otherwise it is actually great and works as advertised.

The process of switching to using simple vms was a gcloud one liner to spin up a vm with the same docker image. That basically worked the first time we tried it. We ran with this for a few months. Then we finally sat down and got ourselves a load balancer with an instance group and an instance template. We deploy by telling gcloud to replace the template on the instance group. It does a rolling restart and it uses our health checks to ensure it does the right things. And it's stupidly easy to script together. We use Github actions for automated deploys. It does rolling restarts, has health checks, monitoring, logging, etc. built in. Everything you need to run a simple monolith.

It's similar to what Amazon did with ECS. Just less convoluted and way more easier to use.

People assume they need all this crazy complicated infrastructure. But it's all commodity off the shelf stuff these days and it doesn't have to be that hard to set up. Could we automate the above? Sure. But what's the point. It's 1 command to create instance templates, another command to tell the LB to run it. Provisioning the LB with a wild card certificate is a five minute job using the UI. It will tell you the commands if you need them. But it's something you do once per environment.
The title makes it sound like its fixing 100s of Grammarly errors, as if Grammarly wasn't providing correct english responses.

Lawyers aren’t the users here.

The users of law are normal people and companies that need to transact with untrusted parties.

Well-paid lawyers clinging to Microsoft Word are a cost centre to most businesses, much of which could likely be automated.

This isn’t necessarily a threat to the legal profession. See the history of accountants and spreadsheet software.
Grammarly is wrong so often that I wouldn’t want to automatically apply fixes. My typical Grammarly workflow involves a rejecting most of its suggestions and approving the small proportion that actually make sense.
> Now that the bots are seen as fake, it was the evil Russians again that faked the domestically funded reports!

You misunderstood my comment because I never suggested that. I don't know where you got that from.
My overall expereience is that there's little, if maybe inverse relationship between programming skill and ability to spell.

But that much you've found out, I think discipline and good habits are what's most important.. Let's assume they won't become great at spelling, and not waste too much energy there, but instead focus on the mechanics around avoiding it becoming an issue.

The IDE will help with what's already in the language/codebase, and assuming those are spelled correctly, autocomplete makes it hard to mess up. The problem is new names, because they will proliferate throughout the codebase, while they may be easy to refactor internally, they will be challenging when they're exposed through some API.

My suggestion is that new names are verified by searching for them on a search engine and/or using a dictionary, not only to verify their spelling, but as importantly, to verify their meaning, (I've encountered correctly spelled words that just meant something completely different because spellcheck was used, but the word wasn't looked up in a search engine to find out if it actually meant what they thought).

Newly added names that has been added, can be kept in a list for quick copy-paste access to them while being used throughout the code-base, until autocomplete can reliably use them.

Another hint during "verification" is to avoid similar looking or sounding names if possible, but that's applicable to everyone, dyslexic or not.
