If you think "multiple word length" would enhance the game, you haven't thought for very long about what makes the game work. It basically has to be 5 letters or the entire structure falls apart.

As for Craigslist, I suspect there's not "a reason". I imagine it's a lot of different, complex reasons.

That's exactly what it means.
Nobody used to use the keyword because it was the default anyway. The new meaning is not the same.
I also keep my Windows gaming PC only for gaming. Reinstall it regularly, because this is the Windows way.

I have a DisplayPort USB KVM switch to quickly switch monitor, headphones, mouse and keyboard between my mac mini (that I normally use) and the gaming PC.

I'm glad I'm having these traffic light discussions with my kids on foot or on a bike. That way I can be sure about what they can see. Or when we have it in the car, it's when they're in the front seat at least, but I'm a poor enough driver that I'd rather focus on traffic than try to teach my kid while driving.
C23 is considering following C++ footsteps and repurpose auto as well.

The metric I use is "StackOverflowability".

It's 2am and I am desperate to fix a customers problem. What's the chance of me finding the answer on SO? Good documentation is obviously helpful, but SO expresses knowledge in a Q&A format much better.
It was the first thing I noticed as well, the blame. It was like "blame the husband" was the terminal state of sorts, solving the issue somehow.

Of course the anecdote is about changing the perspective, but I think there's an obvious elephant in this room as well
That's not more productivity, that's more effort.
Not "was", "is"! auto is the opposite of static in a way. Since it's the default method of storage for local variables, it's very rare to specify it explicitly. C++ just took this C keyword and made it mean something completely different.
> The more serious problem, I think, is that the corpus of Linear A is simply too tiny to do any serious study

This is probably a silly question: but if there the corpus is so small, why are we convinced that it has any meaning at all?
I can easily imagine Michael Palin defending Graham Chapman and claiming the offending comment was made as a form of art, that it should stand on its own because of its offensiveness.

Of course, Graham Chapman would not have made such a bland comment.
> Is Kubernetes really that popular out there in the wider software world?

I guess it could be a regional thing, but for the most part i'd be inclined to say yes.

Most of the larger cloud vendors offer managed Kubernetes in one way or another (Azure, GCP, AWS, Scaleway etc.), which you cannot say about any other orchestrator out there.

Most of the large enteprises that i've worked with also are moving towards introducing Kubernetes internally, sometimes with pretty large clusters for multiple projects at once!

Similarly, most of the tooling out there is focused on Kubernetes nowadays (networking, storage, deployment solutions), which isn't the case for other orchestrators.

Of course, many out there don't even need an orchestrator - Docker or even Docker Compose (or the podman equivalents, or other solutions like that) are oftentimes enough for smaller scale projects, it can be a while before you would enjoy the benefits from the likes of Docker Swarm, Hashicorp Nomad or even one of the many Kubernetes distros out there. Once you need to scale past one (or a few servers) and need to orchestrate deployments across all of them, it might just be worth to look into them, though.
What makes you think Rust and Zig will not suffer the same issue given enough time?

Scientific method tries to get as close as possible to facts.

The issue is that popular press and "influencers" ignore limitations in studies and always tell just their interpretations while pointing to "the science".
As a long-time C aficionado, part-time wanna-be language-lawyer, and just general supporter and fan, the fact that there is no C conference was interesting. I guess I knew that, because if there was such a conference I would have known, at least I would like to think that. On the other hand I've never been to a programming language conference (probably self-fulfilling by being primarily a C programmer at heart) so it's not "a thing" for me.

Anyway, some things I think would make for interesting content at such a conference, should one decide to exist:

Modern C. It would be useful with practical down-to-earth comparison between C the way (I feel) many think it "should" be written, i.e. C89-style with lots of worry that the compiler may be broken, and something more modern/sensible.

Standard directions. Some kind of survey-style talk trying to both summarize known interests covered by the committe now, and also perhaps polling the audience for input about where C needs to go.

Compiler architect's thoughts. Get the major compiler writers in a panel, have them talk about how various language (mis)features affect their ability to write good compilers, and what changes would help with that, if any.

Code sight-seeing. Just having a few knowledgable folks navigate some well-known codebases on a projector with commentary/analysis would be very interesting I think, both to see how others have solved things, and perhaps spot problems/possible improvements. Must be done respectfully of course.

Now I almost feel as if I miss that conference. :/ More ideas, anyone?

I don't think they are not aware. But for fame, they ignore it.
I’ve always wondered if contracts themselves couldn’t be expressed in a parsable domain-specific language.

IANAL, but it seems to me that source code and contracts/legislation/policies are similar in many ways: logic, rules, special words with reserved meaning.

The right DSL might go a long way to automating the boring stuff out of law, and serve to highlight the contentious stuff for human judgement.
There's absolutely no guarantee that these problems will be avoided in rust and zig; we only have the benefit of hindsight to avoid the problems we have now, and a recorded history of the kinds of things that tend to go wrong in committees (factions, infighting, BigCo interference, intrigue, egos, bike shedding, etc).
This is a great idea. Not just for tech discussions; I think some political discussions would also be much improved if we could taboo certain words. Some people get too hung up on certain -isms without explaining what specific policies they're talking about.
Ok I’m ignorant. Why only 5 letters?

Also one could argue the root cause of those many, complex reasons is under-investment in R&D based in the assumption “the current product is perfect”
I won't shed a tear if every ad supported site vanishes from the internet. Yes, I think the vast majority of them are useless, and the only reason I visit them is because someone else links them or, because of SEO, they end up in the way when you search for something. Usually these sites are worse than what you'd get if search engines skipped straight to the good, valuable sites with no ads; their value is generally negative, not positive. Good sites get buried because of everyone who's spamming the internet for quick buck. I refuse to support ad-supported sites, because ad-money and the incentive it creates for spam is ruining the internet. Spammers' ability to earn money by creating more spam should be revoked. Anyone who supports that "business" model is partly responsible for spam and trash.

For the average user, I think PDF is too complicated a format to NOT have this kind of simple file-size-reduction tool.

Also (from https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html), they sell a tool that gives you more control:

”How do I compress a PDF without losing quality?

The Acrobat online PDF compressor balances an optimized file size against the expected quality of images, fonts, and other file content. Just drag and drop a PDF into the PDF compression tool above and let Acrobat reduce the size of your PDF files without compromising quality.

For more refined control of optimization settings, you can try Adobe Acrobat Pro DC for free for seven days. Acrobat Pro DC for the Mac or Windows operating system lets you customize PPI settings for color, grayscale, and monochrome image quality. You can also use PDF editor tools, edit scans with OCR functionality, convert PDFs to Microsoft PowerPoint and other file formats, convert PNGs and other image file formats, organize and rotate PDF pages, split PDFs, and more.”
You most certainly are not in the target audience for anything Koenigsegg makes. Maybe a handful of HN could have the finances.
I guess this is expected, but still disappointing. Unlimited upload was what first got me to buy the original Pixel. I have been using the compressed photos for a while to save on space since upgrading, but didn't really know exactly how compressed they were. Here is a comparison, and for my uses that seems pretty fine:

Adversarial wielding of facts could be the basis for a new model of public knowledge, one that corrects the shortcomings of current news media and social networks.

Causal mapping [1] websites can aggregate the back and forth of heated discussions, eliminating emotional responses and distilling the core ideas of each opposing position. Such compilation of facts an argument in a readable, neutral format (e.g. see Kialo)[2] could work like the academic debates of old, allowing facts to be analysed in context and the validity of arguments to be tested on their own merits, not on their emotional appeal.

I am sorry to tell you: if you want to work with people, you have to spent time with them, bond and built trust. That's not just another meeting in your calendar. If you have that mindset you might want to consider working as a freelancer. Which is what I do now since I hated all the internal politics.
C++ is a semantically overloaded language. It is very far from "C with classes" at this point. In C, every construct has a direct mental mapping to its rough representation as machine code, and its corresponding side effects. C++ adds a "meta stage" after which the machine code might be the same, but it takes a lot of time for the programmer to figure out what is really happening.
I would take the coding on a white board instead of answering fake mails to be honest. But the job doesn't sound too attractive if correspondence is mostly with customers. Internal mails are way more informal and quicker to write.

My take after reading this is a bit different than the others.

At least you tried. And if it's a miss you might now know that it's the wrong people you're engaging with. I see it as a good fit test.
Or to find a position in which such performance is not required.

Adaptation only goes so far. More training won't turn a dwarf into a basketball centre, or a heavyweight bodybuilder into a champion marathoner. Sometimes you've got to work with what you have, both in terms of abilities and limitations.

Intellectual and psychological limitations may be less manifestly visible but are no less real.
I've thought about doing something like this before, does your windows machine have its own keyboard, mouse and monitors or do you have some kind of switch involved? I haven't worked out a good way yet of using multiple monitors over two machines whilst sharing audio and input between the two
In the end, it breaks down like this.

AD (Youtube) Youtube says watch AD, then I'll give you the video.
Pirate/Contested term: I will technologically circumvent the process and take the video anyway.

Traditional piracy: Store says give money, then I'll give you the video
Pirate: I will technologically circumvent the process and take the video anyway.

The only difference here is that the "payment" is cash in one case, and an ad view in the other. Both cases deal with the same output, both put a barrier around the content, and both cases get that barrier circumvented via technological means that allow access to non-scarce content.

The most charitable I can be here, is that "it's really really close, but because it's not explicit monetary payment, it's not piracy".

But that's just playing word games. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck, or some close relative of said waterfowl. There's no shame in admitting that. I happily adblock too, but I'm not going to pretend I'm doing some virtuous deed by rising against the man to block an ad. I'm blocking them cause I don't like the inconveniences and issues with ads, and to hell with the creators ad revenue.

So yes, I do think that those who skirt around that definition and rage at that are largely just trying to rationalize it with themselves.

Indeed, and rust, zig, fortran, and julia don't have the problems with c that c++ does, so is it a problem with c or with c++ that the author is actually talking about?
Looks almost mycelial to me.
I am, but I also went through a specialised course when I was quite young & so my reading & writing are pretty OK generally.

My dad is as well and he did the same course but as an adult.

Then he partnered with some dyslexia specialists and wrote the first version of unitsofsound[1] (recently sold to nisai), I joined him and help with the re-write to the web version in the early 2000's

I would say that day-to-day the problems are more going to be related to reading that writing IMHO. The act of writing code is heavily supported with linters & compilers etc etc and so typo's don't tend to be a huge problem

Dyslexia usual manifests with short term memory difficulties, I tend to rely heavily on a pen & paper notepad with scribbles.

However, in the actual workplace, it can have its advantages. Dyslexics are encouraged to draw diagrams and other such visual ways of helping with memory & disseminating information (pictures worth a thousand words and all that)

When it comes to practical tips for learning ...

- learn how to read documentation
- I find ligatures are useful (see visual clues)
- thesaurus for naming things
- practice practice practice, pushing syntax into long term memory rather than short term will be the key. Maybe reduce syntax to being with by concentrating on variable & functions to write in an FP style

I hope this helps and feel free to contact me to talk about it some more chris [at] matheson.it

Clearly warp-drive signatures.
The value is twofold:

1. Everything uses a common base, so you don't get a base change on a scale change (or indeed, two different bases for different parts of the same measurement), and dimensional consistency becomes trivial.

2. The base is base-10, which is the same as our common counting system.

The article you linked is a reckless oversimplifaction of the mRNA vaccine development process. In my opinion, it is dangerous towards an understanding of mRNA vaccines and how they will impact our future.

First, BioNTech (not Pfizer) had 10-15 years to research, develop and test vaccines against new zoogenic Corona viruses. There was literature regarding the modification of the spike protein even before SARS-CoV-2 hit. BioNTech had either SARS or MERS candidates years before the pandemic.

Second, we cannot compute "how it will fold" either.

Third, discussions on HN always, always leave out the hard and messy parts: Wet lab and patient studies.

I am a huge fan of mRNA vaccinations, but the understanding of their potential is hugely different between the "hacker world" (HN, Twitter computer scientist bubble, etc.) and the biology world.
I would love to see a 4WD with inhub motors, to get extreme clearance.
I thought HN randomly pushed new submissions to the front page for random users, and measures how many votes they get before deciding whether to put them onto the home page for more people. There was a post about the mechanism recently. (It's why getting friends to upvote your new submissions doesn't front-page them, as those votes are ignored).

The biggest problem is that there is still a significant faction within the C++ committee that wants closer relations between C and C++, or even a merging (if such a thing were possible). "C++ is a better C" is a mantra that can still be heard to this day within those hallowed halls.

If C++ would just treat C as an interface like everyone else does, this problem would shrink considerably.

WebAssembly will not displace Server Side languages.

"oh but it compiles once and then runs everywhere!!!!"...ceased to be an argument over 15y ago, when it became clear that the "backend" is synonymous with linux, and almost every machine has the same architecture. Plus, the time required by the compilation step is not prohibitive in a CI/CD pipeline.
In classic "get off my lawn" style I thought C++ divergence from C when they abandoned cfront was where it all went wrong.

At least with cfront you had some idea of what was getting generated.

My favourite C++ compiler was Symantec 7 on windows. It was a great, affordable tool for making MFC applications and had a neat GUI builder too. I still have the CD of it but it refuses to install on windows 11 sadly.

Nowadays I just use C or C#, C++ just seems like a hard to use version of C# and I have little use for the extra performance it might have.
The article seemingly fails to mention how you can wake up feeling oriented, or a goalie’s ability to quickly respond to visual stimuli, both of which are counter-arguments to the theory.

Wow, I had no idea about anyons. What a fascinating concept.

This is probably a stupid question, but how can anything in our three dimensional world truly be two dimensional? How is that imposed on matter or energy?

I thought we used 1/2/3 dimensions to help ourselves understand our world better; like theoretical tools we can use on paper or a computer to simulate and explore reality. But we actually have 2 dimensional objects in the world?

That's a fair point, however these 50 would mostly fall in 5 or 10 categories.

A few templates, a couple of text expanders, and a brief mentoring in soft skills, active listening, and written comms would resolve any major issues.

Granted, Gaussian distribution guarantees that the above wouldn't cover all cases.
Nah, you can actually solve it really fast if you have a few goto starting words. I use house, trail and one more I can't remember now. Longest I ever spent since then on Wordle has been maybe 3 minutes.

This is just detached from reality. They're so far ahead with library support, and other vendors are not investing in that. AMD's roc* libraries are terrible, aren't documented well, etc. etc.
