That's why I mainly use Nim for creating games. It's a *fun* language, out of your way for rapid prototyping, *safe*, it has all sorts of safety checks (nil, overflows, ranges, variant object transitions) that you can disable for performance critical code and RAII style destructors, where copying is allowed by default but you can optimize when you need to by inspecting the IR (easy as it's Nim syntax, you just watch out for inserted copy calls) and *extensible* there are all sorts of DSL in the packages from HTML gen to ECS libraries and finite state machines. Macros allow you to easily create performant code that otherwise no one would bother write by hand.
It is just a point of comparison. You can ignore it and focus on inflation and dollar purchasing power for consumer goods, also included. Point being that house construction costs have grown on a different trajectory than dollar value and salary.

iTerm2 is by far my favorite terminal! It’s API is really cool but a bit buried under needing AppleScript, websockets, and protocol buffers. There are a couple Go clients but I wanted something to call from C so I wrote this library:

Not just storage, but transmission. From what I understand were far from a plant on the east coast being able to fill needs on the West. Interstate and international transmission lines would solve a lot of problems easier than more storage.
The obvious point is that anyone who wants to pay their taxes is going to be a "USD bagholder". Boomers generally don't save in USD. They save in USD denominated assets (like bitcoin). Interest rates being lower than inflation does rebalance the economy from wealth to income, but I actually think that's something we should encourage right now.
Rust and GTK3/4 are fairly well supported, no?

Worse than motorcycles are cars with a "pop and bang tune". I can hear these things literally for miles, and they run all day and all night. It's extremely annoying.

It’s “detrimental” to companies who perhaps shouldn’t have chosen a license that allows AWS to do exactly what they did. Those companies can’t simultaneously claim to be competent and to have made that choice without knowing what they were doing.

IMO, they chased the benefits of being open source and then changed course when the costs to them exceeded the benefits (which is fine for code going forward), but trademark concerns aside, I can’t see AWS as the bad actor here.

True. But still, I know the vast majority of words in my dictionary don't match those two green fields after hashing, and can be eliminated from further consideration as the password.

Old documentation was based on the didactic principle of presenting the foundation before jumping into the specifics. Online documentation seems to forget that there's even such a thing as "foundational background".
Probably, in addition to providing the containers, it is equally important to provide an uninterrupted power supply. You can imagine what a disaster it would be if the power were to suddenly fail for a somewhat longer period of time. Unfortunately, nothing is written about this in the article.
If the thin widget is directly against the edge of the viewport, maybe.

If it's literally anywhere else on the screen, then no, Fitts's Law applies, and it's a bad target. It has height but no width.

This is especially true for those with motor or visual handicaps, or both.

It's damned near unusable even with very modest levels of distraction or other factors, e.g., using a device as a passenger on a moving vehicle, as with a boat, train, or airplane.
> What was the remaining risk to the US?

Japan never posed serious risk to the US in the first place.

> That's one of the main things that makes it feel hard to justify further mass killing of civilians.

Japan had occupied much of East Asia including large parts of China and was conducting absolutely brutal campaigns of repression.

> What if Japan has just never surrendered? Would that have been justification to drop an atomic bomb on every civilian population center one after another?

The justification is that as soon as you stop containing them in their island. They would instantly start to go on the offensive again.

Long term containment was considered by the US Navy as an alternative, but it would hardly be less brutal then nukes.

What would you have the US do, simply say, well I guess you learn your lessen and go home. Leave Japan to reconquer East Asia again after a few years?

The nukes were worthwhile to try because they had the capability of totally shifting the political conversation inside of Japan, and they did.

Each attack and action had to be individually considered one after another. If nukes would not have shifted to strategic calculation, potentially another policy would have been attempted.

At some point you have to let people make decisions. You can't "logic" your way out of everything.

But... the mistakes! Yeah, so what? What about the mistakes of the rules that a human at the scene is not allowed to overrule?

We have that at quite a few workplaces, where employees are not allowed to make any decisions, only work through an algorithm. It's not pretty. Think customer support of very large companies. Or the mistakes of algorithms and "AI", which we already have too, e.g. when we read stories about insurance "automating" decisions with ML?

Ask HN: Are universities closing down open access to lectures and course notes?
7 years ago or so it seemed like you could find invaluable learning for free by just looking up free university lectures or course notes at any arbitrary school. Today when I try look it up they almost universally seem closed down behind password protection (as if coordinated by higher order). I haven't heard people talk about this, am I the only one noticing this pattern?
I wonder if someone made a machine that did carbon removal whose only inputs is power AND there was a bounty paid to remove carbon if you could install them onsite at power plants to deal with this
> You can't come at music and think about it like you're building a computer program.

I think the absolutionist take here is unproductive.

I would argue a writing a fugue is analogous to "building a computer program"; to say little of 12 tone chromatic atonal music compositions that usually sacrifice 7 tone based harmonies for interesting structure, like palindromic reflection of ascending and descending musical ideas, and optimising for a high number of pitches in a melody.

Additionally, 7 note diatonic music theory can be completely summed up with two statements:

1) tick-tick-tock-tick-tick-tick-tock

2) permuate all the things!

Most common western instruments are literally built to only play 7 tone diatonic music theory.

Look at a piano. It can literally ONLY play "semi-tones". It's impossible to explore music beyond the 12 note chromatic scale without first modifiying the physical construction of the piano.

If not for scrollbars color, I certainly dislike the macOS GUI for its straightjacket approach. (Also, poor window management.)

I don't know what it's like where you live, but in California it increasingly looks like our law enforcement organizations are either dreadfully understaffed or failing miserably at enforcing basic traffic laws.

I just drove to San Diego and back from the Bay Area and counted zero cops on the way down and two on the way back, and I returned on Super Bowl eve. In the south Bay Area, I regularly see folks intentionally disregard basic traffic safety laws. I never see anyone pulled over and generally never see any cops.

My niece works in public safety in WA state and says that morale is in the gutter as police have been told to back off in all but the most imminent situations. The example she gave is that police now cannot intervene if they see an armed individual approaching a school. That sounds unbelievable but that's straight from the mouth of the local chief of police.

I'm not typically pro-law enforcement but I am definitely not pro-no-law enforcement.

On an unrelated note, I'm now about to get front window tinting on my vehicles because, why not, it's not like any traffic or vehicle laws are being enforced now.
This sounds like such a good idea – more cities should do it.

Win for the city budget, win for the people living in the city.

There's no place for loud cars in cities. One could argue no place for cars at all, but that's a separate story.

Afghanistan is low level conflict for a while. Japan was a modern army hell bent on taking attrition on the invaders.

In Japan its very unlikely to work out anything like Afghanistan. Once the Japan government was defeated, its unlikely you would have seen a popular insurgency in Japan.

And in Japan an island dominated by allied navies such efforts cold not be sustained anyway.
My browser is rarely against the RH side of my display, or even on the RH sie of my screen.

Alright, so here's something stupid I've always wanted to ask: Is there some kind of library/language/paradigm where instead of declaring what data structures you want to use, you declare constraints and expectations and it guesses the "best" one? So even if you're uncertain, you can say "I expect this collection to have about n elements", "this should be sorted", "I expect it to grow in a certain way", and so on (of course you might want to express much more advanced patterns).
From what I understand about trademark law, unlike copyright, trademarks must be defended at risk of losing them. So it may seem petty, but might actually have some necessity behind it.

Even if it is just petty, it's petty against amazon, and I for one don't really feel the need to have sympathy for them.

The New York Times Misses the Point on Surging Traffic Deaths
My late father who lived to 101 always felt Truman was the greatest president of his lifetime because he authorized use of those two atomic bombs. See my father knew he would have been part of that invasion of the Japanese mainland.

At the end of his life nothing angered him more than people trying to say that decision was a mistake. I told him that these advocates weren't alive at the time and thus couldn't understand his point of view. They focus on what horrible destruction it caused and not the price Americans would pay if it had not been used. If there had been a ground invasion of Japan far more people would have died, both Japanese and Americans.
> I spoke to a police officer friend about what to do, and he said the police just didn't care. I pointed out how easily they could use a decibel meter on their phone to measure how loud, but it was a complete non-interest for them.

Ostensibly this is because the incentives aren't aligned properly. The reason why many areas over-enforce traffic violations is because of quotas and incentive structures that encourage people to hand-out tickets. If you did the same thing with noise, you could actually encourage departments to try to enforce this.
They use pop-up ads for Pocket, or their recent "color ways" thing, or whatever, pretty often. They also like to pop in new tabs and move focus to them, which is at least as bad.

The evidence is using Firefox for any length of time, with default settings (maybe there's a way to turn this off, I dunno, I use Safari most of the time these days so it hasn't been worth figuring out, but happens enough to be pretty annoying even in my limited use of FF on my Windows gaming PC)
Even if true, what does that have to do with shelf space? Search results do not constitute the internet, and there are many more search engines than just Google.
That's happening to you because sound is refracted by the atmosphere at night and bounced back toward the ground.

https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna43154773

> "What we managed to show is the combination of the crosswind and the temperature gradient can cause sound that's going to go vertically (to) get refracted back down," he said. "The sound was literally bent back downwards."

> The effect often happens at dawn and dusk because sound bends from hotter air into cooler air. During the day, the ground is hotter than the air above it so sound bends vertically upward.

> "Its only when the sun stops falling on the ground that the ground cools down. Then the air gets hotter above," he said. "That's when sound can bend towards the ground and become trapped."
I hear way more honking than sirens.

But even granting that sirens are louder, they serve an explicit purpose. Loud cars and motorcycles do not.
What about armed Black men? Having a gun is not grounds to shoot someone. Remember, we have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
I mean, doesn't everyone do this, even if they aren't living on a shoestring budget? I usually plan ahead about 1-2 months in advance: Pay my bills on the due date, keep track of when each pay check will come in and the expected amount, on days when the balance is expected to drop below zero, either 1. find some way to deposit some cash or 2. (if able) schedule a small transfer from my savings account to cover the difference. On days when the balance is more than what's needed for my next set of bills, schedule a small transfer into the savings account. Checking account never contains more than what's needed until your next paycheck.
Aren't desktop solutions typically vendor locked?
This is something I noticed when I was in the US - It seemed that emergency vehicles leave their sirens on the whole time. Here in Aus they'll leave them off and only turn them on when coming up to an intersection that they don't have traditional right of way on, then back off again (lights on the whole time).

Am I wrong about this? I was only in a couple of cities but it was stark how I could always hear sirens

I assume that if 'reddit is fun' aka 'rif' was in this poll then it would be winning, as I've tried every other option in the poll and they are all horrid, bloated affairs bursting at the seams with the most pointless and unnecessary features.

Cross platform frameworks have already risen in Electron. Every application I use at work runs on Linux. VS Code, Slack, Zoom, Postman, and others I can't think of are all Electron.

And they all perform fine. The speed difference between JS and native is meaningless in 99% of cases given how fast modern CPUs are. RAM usage is similar. Everyone complains about it, but I've got 32 GB and I don't get above 8GB usage when using these apps.
There is one car that drives by my neighborhood on a regular basis that sets off multiple car alarms as it goes by. Some times it's in the middle of the day, some times it's in the middle of the night. If I can hear it in the house through walls / windows etc from a distance I can't imagine how loud it'll be in the car itself.

Putting aside consideration for others around you, what is even the appeal of hearing damage levels of car noise?
I tried doing that for screencasting. It failed.

It's single-handedly the best perk of being white in the US. I hate it, it's straight up dystopian, but you can't argue with the benefits of being above the law for anything less than like murder. Being white means I do things like speed, do drugs at parties and concerts, jaywalk, be drunk in public, trespass -- err sorry urban explore, set of fireworks on the 4th without so much as a second glance.
Acoustics play a big role. I used to live a mile from a freeway but the ground sloped gently up towards my house and, being San Diego, there weren't a lot of trees to absorb the noise. On many nights it was about as loud as standing a block from the freeway. It varied based on temp, humidity and wind direction.
Did standard improve 5x tho? Probably by like 2-3x I'd guess. Or standard maybe even decreased in some ways, but we're actually paying for complexity.

Also - building larger typically reduces price/sqm.
> I'm hoping that Rust will solve some of this by having you use a pleasant language instead of relying on GUI tools.

it takes years to make games

and you think a language that have horrible compile speed can succeed?

look at the market today, nobody wants to use C++ anymore to make games

people moved to unity because it is fast to iterate

unreal? people use blueprints for everything nowadays BECAUSE c++ is a pain and slow to compile, it hurts iteration time

rust/c++ are anti fast iteration, it's anti-gamedev

the people who push rust in gamedev are clueless and they deserve the language, best way to make people hate the language even more

look, 5minutes to compile a single line of code in Rust in this game made fully in Rust, what's the advantage? the biggest advantage is these devs will be able to think about doing something else, because they'll never be able to release a game within the next 10 years at this rate

In NYC and across the river in jersey, the culprits also include emergency vehicles. You can hear them blocks away when people have no business knowing about them.
You cannot compromise the TPM(e.g. read the keys stored in it, decrement increment-only counters), but most of the point of a TPM is that programs can call an interface and have the TPM perform operations using those keys. If someone compromises the machine enough to be able to run arbitrary code, they can issue those TPM operations remotely just the same as the legit software.

What you describe is somewhat related, in that one can use a combination of a TPM + some kind of a biometric sensor to build a system like TouchID or Windows Hello, and that combination would not be remotely operable. But if e.g. your mTLS client cert is stored in the TPM, you certainly would not expect to swipe a fingerprint reader on every connection that the browser establishes to the mTLS domains.
Depending on the country, this may well be related to the fact that professors sometimes have to expect copyright warnings if excerpts from other sources are used and republished in the teaching materials. Therefore, some things are only available to enrolled students.
