I would say for starters that they live in a much more frightening world than you and I live in. And that is very unfortunate.

They're nominally "not ok" with it, unless it's couched in some piece of legislation like the PATRIOT Act or snuck into a Defense Authorization Act, particularly after a national tragedy happens. Then a lot (a majority?) of Americans will suddenly be ok with the "if you got nothing to hide you got nothing to fear" mantra.

I'm actually not a huge fan when people act like Americans are a a bunch of flag-waving morons, because I think that people who say that are often being extremely reductive to a borderline-offensive level [1], but in this case I do think Americans are uniquely ok with pretending their rights don't exist when they're convinced it's for a greater good.

Why did they ever go with ID.me when they have their own comparable solution?
I’ve used both and both are solid, one is expensive and externally managed though..
Interesting that you limit this claim to the century that saw two world wars and the largest ethnic extermination program in history. ID systems back then weren't any more thorough than the SSN every American is required to have and use for a litany of purposes today.

I do not really see how replacing your SSN with a public/private key pair that you use to cryptographically sign tax returns, loan applications, or election ballots would make a repeat of World War II any more or less likely; I just see it making identity theft a lot harder. Any government that decides it has the will and power to start a genocide isn't going to be stopped by antiquated blue paper cards.

I had to do these two things to get past regular panic attacks. All I did was run every other day for at least 40 minutes and my panic attacks disappeared for over a year... until a few months after I stopped running.

The quality of life difference was substantial. It improved the quality of my work, too.

Best to create object then initialize it in a separate method.
can you please show me this agreement ?
In college we were required to get a subscription to FT and I found it quite liberal. As was the professor who required the subscription.
To be fair, there are some small hurdles - you get issued a temporary SSN quickly, but it might take some time and documents ( like an original of your birth certificate less than 6 months old in French, or translated in France by an authorised translator which is a retarded thing to ask for and for which I've had to explain many obvious things to many French officials - they simply do not have the right to ask for that, any EU country's translation is acceptable by law), but it's fine. You don't even need the regular SSN for taxes or healthcare, actually.
The average consumer also doesn't want to be stalked, have their cars stolen, etc.
Thanks for the feedback!

- List view is on the roadmap but not designed yet; we'd love to understand your needs in more detail if you'd be up for dropping us a line at research@constructor.dev.

- By prioritize I presume you mean set an absolute priority? Priority right now is explicit in the ordering of tickets within their respective columns, but it's relative, not absolute. We're open to adding absolute priorities.

- You can search tickets with the search in the navbar, or filter the board to show a subset of tickets with the filter box.

- We haven't embarked on i18n/L10n yet but it's just a matter of prioritization – what language(s) do you require?
> the controller on a emmc isn't anywhere similar to the controller on a flash array

That’s why I suggested something similar to OpenFirmware. With that in place, you could send a piece of Forth code and the controller would run it without involving the CPU or touching any bus other than the internal bus in the storage device.
It is not trivial in practice to make code safe in presence of exceptions even if one follows the best C++ practices. The errors can be very subtle and hard to identify. It is another reason besides the performance and code bloat why Chromium disables them.
I'm Russian myself, and my extended family is mostly in Russia, so this is all speaking from very personal experience.

Sounds like there’s a lot more to your story than you’ve shared here.
As someone who uses his middle name, I've experienced only the tiniest bit of what you've gone through, but I can imagine your annoyance.

It's amazing how massive systems often have no viable process for "As an end user, some of the data in the system is incorrect, and I would like to get it corrected."

Once it's in the system via the setup process, it's there. And most people down the line working with it don't even know what system it's originally coming from.

Edit: F.ex. if someone lied about their age when getting their Social Security # (this before issue-at-birth, so it had to be applied for in person), so as to be considered old enough to work, and then decades later wanted to set the record straight to avoid collecting benefits at too young an actual age, they would probably be told by a Social Security employee that doing so was more trouble than it was worth. ... Hypothetically speaking.

C++ is still a wonderfully performant language, and there are still domains where it is clearly a leader (networking, games/graphics, etc). Rust is slowly displacing it but there's still a lot of road left. The maturity, stability, prior art are also worth something. The pitfalls are really not that big and dangerous, although to someone who doesn't do C++ I can see why it has that perception. Additionally, if you aren't a functional programming lover (like I've become lately), C++ is one of the funnest languages to work in (as long as the codebase follows could principles).

That said while I used to use C++ for nearly everything, these days I use Elixir for app dev whenever I can, and Ruby and bash for scripts. However if I were going to write a desktop app today I'd most likely go for C++ so I could use Qt. I do really need to try out new GTK though, sounds like it's gotten really great.

They do but it’s hard to gauge how widely, in part I think because folks doing those things are less likely to blog /post about it. But for example in a past role I set up Jira for a non-IT team in a national museum, and a colleague did the same to help a supermarket chain develop new products.

Your body stores a tremendous amount of energy. For example I've personally fasted for 7 days, no calories in, and know people who have gone a month, no problems. Normal daily routine, exercise, etc. In a way you have even more zip in your step cause you're not processing all that food.

So it's not like you're an inert lump out in the elements. You have the caloric equivalent of several gallons worth of gasoline in your body somewhat readily burnable (obviously at the tail end you'd start to look a little worn out). Systems like Wim Hof give you the ability to consciously tap into that energy reserve with enough practice.

Also think about tiny animals like squirrels out in the elements all winter. Yes natural insulation plays a small role, but let me give you a fur coat and some nuts and see how long you last. ;) Not to mention surface:volume ratio much worse than humans. They're natural Wim Hof masters.
I think the point was that from the perspective of the user the experience isn't any worse than a native IOS app. Your user likely doesn't know or care about the difference between a Flutter issue vs a Native IOS issue. You just don't want them to open the app and say wow this is jankier than normal, I don't trust it.
Quitting the mainstream news is probably the best approach for most people, but I think critically paying attention to the news is also very illuminating and it's something that I don't think enough people do. Pay attention to how they advertise and monetize and operate.

Here's just a few observations off the top of my head.

* Fox News and CNN often get compared as being the opposites of each other, but there's one big difference in journalistic integrity that I can see. With Fox, you know who the straight news people are and who the opinion people are. With CNN, the line is blurred beyond any recognition.

* Particularly when it came to Trump, many news headlines during the last 6 years or so have been literal mind-reading about his mental state, thoughts, and goals, and I'm not even joking a little. If you start paying attention to this, you'll notice that so much of the news literally involves mind-reading.

* Paying attention to the advertisements made during the news is also critical because all humans have bias. Every other ad is for some damn pill, cream, or suppository from Big Pharma. Any news report involving health should be viewed through this lens as news agencies know who butters their bread.

If you don’t want to use LLVM then you don’t have much choice.
A reasonable requirement which leads to "run everything in VMs" is the need to support on-premise deployments. Often data-security and compliance requirements can be handled most reasonably (or at all) by allowing the enterprise client to pick where to deploy a single-tenant copy of the service. For this, I think the most reasonable approach is to only require VMs and do all the configuration yourself (preferably in some scripted / automated manner).

Of course, in this case, (unless you install a private cloud), you forgo all the convenience and advantages of a cloud infrastructure (so one can argue that this wouldn't really count as 'cloud agnostic'), but since such on-premise deployments should only be required by big enterprise clients, they should have deep enough pockets to pay for it.
It’s great if that is an option for you, but for many of us, if a site requires email logins, it is a fail. Much of the time, by the time the authentication email arrives, the login timeout has expired.
I'm telling you if you have that much conviction, then you can profit it off that WAY more than you currently are with some simple financial instruments.

But as always this is not investment advice, because I disagree with the premise.
> Scanning Google News or a couple of the more professional international news services like BBC / Al Jazeera / Reuters I still feel pretty well informed

I once spent several years diving deep into news, and one of the lessons I learned was that scanning headlines (or even summaries) is a very good prescription for being misinformed.

There's the obvious selection bias - you only see the headlines they put on top. But it's fairly common that the body of the article undercuts the headline. The headline will be stated definitively, whereas the nuances in the details will make you doubt the certainty of the headline. In a few cases, it would even negate the headline!

And this is from well regarded news sources (NY Times, WaPost, etc), not crappy click bait farms on the Internet.

“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.” - Mark Twain

I'm a firm believer that one should either dive deep or not read the news. The moderate path leads to the most misinformation.
How is it different from working with a private company? Lots of stakeholders? More documented testing procedures?
It's possible to install Linux, but it requires a bunch of fiddling. And even then power management tends to not work great.

I'd love if Linux has as officially supported and just worked.
Don't write constructors that can fail unless it is failure that would be appropriate to crash for. That works out a lot better than it might naively sound. It is hard for people to reason about the possibility of constructors/destructors failing, so actually rather nice to just forbid it.
I just want to work from home 9-5 without too much stress and have enough money and time to do what I want outside of it. Thankfully looks like I've already reached the end of my career as the article calls it pretty early.
I also have to imagine there's a decent performance boost. With Rust's and Go's (and C's, usually) approach of having 'if (error) { return error; }' all over the place (with syntax sugar or not), there will be a lot of extra branches in the happy path. Sure, those branches are predictable and thus fast, but they're not instant, and they take up icache space in the happy path. Modern exception implementations can almost exclusively slow down the exceptional code, and code which propagates exceptions without catching or throwing will look identical to code with no error handling at all.

I'm sure the gains aren't tremendous, but lots of C++ design decisions are for slight performance improvements at the cost of less safety. Other examples are unchecked array access by default and unchecked overflow. Whether these are the right decisions or not is debatable, but at least it's consistent.

EDIT: Of course, as the article points out, if you have a high error frequency and many cores, exceptions cause significant performance issues. But in the case where exceptions are _actually_ exceptional, and especially in cases where the only real response to an exception is to log an error and exit, exceptions are exceptionally good (pardon the pun) from a performance perspective.
You are still quite unlikely to be a victim of violent crime by a stranger if you are not actively involved in the drug trade in the city.

Violent crime rates in the city very low relative to the past.

You are much more likely to be injured or killed in a suburban car accident than an urban assault/murder/mugging.

They won't go places (businesses, cities, etc) that don't allow guns. They routinely talk about and consider scenarios when, where, and how they'd fire on someone. They select clothes based on what will conceal a firearm (or select the daily firearm make/model based on what can be concealed with their clothing that day).

It's clearly a major driving force in their lives. Perhaps petrified wasn't the best use of words. I'll suggest terrified as an alternative but the actual reality is all the same.

I've been kidnapped and robbed at gunpoint in the US. I'm pretty sure if I had a firearm that situation would have been worse. I would have either gotten myself killed or suffered the trauma of killing someone and watching them die. This isn't a movie where you go bang and the bad guy cleanly falls to the ground. Death by firearm is brutal and changes you forever (as my ex-military friends will tell you). Life isn't Hollywood and anyone who thinks their life will be the same and just fine after using that weapon is either a bona fide psychopath or delusional.

I also can't imagine waking up everyday and strapping a gun to myself just to leave the house. I'd consider that fear winning and an event that I've long sense gotten over continuing to have an outsized amount of control and power over me. I got out of my traumatic event losing an iPhone and $100. After a few months of initial PTSD my life hasn't changed one bit. I won.
As an opponent of UBI you should know what economic and financial tools would be available, and then explain why they wouldn't work, rather than act like they don't exist. It would help your counter argument.

Why would you have to violate the laws of thermodynamics? You could simply consume more calories.
I work in the same domains, plus hard embedded real-time. Some projects end up choosing C, some C++. C has the advantage of simplicity and more mature tooling, C++ has the advantage of a stronger type system (able to move some things from correct-by-testing to correct-by-construction) and a medium-weight code generation system in the form of templates.

You and parent project this in some theoretical universe where these effects would be ignored. Why on earth do you think so? With semi-unlimited energy at our palms, we can do serious geoengineering. We can put these furnaces into high orbits, or moon and beam down just raw output energy with lasers. Or whatever, even the sky isn't a proverbial limit.
"When ‘potential’ is seen as crucial to moving up the career ladder,"

Where is potential being valued? It seems most jobs want you to prove yourself before giving a promotion.

In my personal experience, potential is just a polite way of saying you have a deficiency preventing you from being at the next level.

“Hiring managers may pretend to think deeply, but will likely just be drawing on their intuition,”

In the even longer term plasma fusion offers a way to create the heavier elements that we are running out of here on earth. Forged in a manmade nuclear furnace.

The only heavy element that we actually "use up" to any significant degree is uranium, which is consumed for energy, but if we had cheap fusion energy uranium consumption would plummet. Even if we could make artificial uranium it would be a net-energy-losing process to make artificial uranium with fusion power instead of using fusion power directly.
Changes that have worked for me:

- stop reading any form of "push news" (so, no Google News, Apple News etc)
- whenever you feel the urge to read something, save to read-later service (I use Instapaper)
- print subscription to Economist

You realize you never needed to "keep up to the minute", and it's okay to find out about things a day or two later
>This is what news is supposed to be though! To expect otherwise is the problem. Just because something isn't immediately actionable or entertaining that day in some measurable outcome is a poor test of "value" too, and would eliminate many other things people consider of "value".

Where do you think the value of news comes from, if not helping people take better actions to navigate their lives?

>Continuing my previous single example, financial news can affect anyone who owns a home or has retirement savings, Whether they want to admit it or not, the scope is vastly beyond financial professionals and day traders.

My point is that information doesn't matter even if it will or could affect you, unless you will take some action based on it. If someone realistically thinks they might sell their family home or cash out their retirement, then by all means, pay close attention to financial news. If not, they would be better off ignoring it entirely.

I still use C++ for the occasional projects that a quick Python script can't easily solve

- I've been using C/C++ since my first year of undergrad so I'm already familiar/comfortable with it

- Java has too much boilerplate (my mind is still stuck in Java 8 so maybe things have changed since then)

- I found myself spending more time fighting the Rust/Go compiler than actually solving my problems

- I don't want to package a web browser for a simple 1-2 UI application

I agree. I don't think humanity is happier given more resources, above a certain relatively small amount. But humanity's desires are limitless. If we are able to invent a free energy machine we'll just use it so much that it causes new problems.

The question is how much it will cost Ukraine? In my opinion the conflict is already lost, now the Ukraine should concentrate on minimizing the losses and avoiding full scale war.
Ah yes, the birth certificate thing is... impressive. Especially when it's being asked for someone coming from a country where you simply cannot update your birth certificate. France and inflexibility, especially in small mayor's offices are just standard.
