> I think if the lesson you're taking from the whole imposter syndrome thing is "you don't need to improve"

No that's not what I learned from it. The reality is that sometimes I get a job that I shouldn't work 8 hours per day for but 12 to 16 hours per day for the first few couple of months in order to get reliably up to speed. Yes, that's harsh, but at least it means my job would be secure.

Instead, I did my best for 8 hours per day and simply wasn't good enough.
Unfortunately you still need a car. Everyone in Fayetteville owns a car and you need one to get to any real grocery store. I think it’s awesome that despite the fact that everyone owns cars, the expansion from Dickson has been done in a pedestrian-friendly way.
Do the vehicles benefit from specialist tools because the manufacturer has innovated some new piece of tech unique to their company, or have they simply taken off the shelf components and tweaked them just enough that standard tools don't work without adding any actual value? (Nintendo Y-shaped screwheads spring to mind) The answer is probably a combination of the two, so it's always going to be a trade-off.
I can answer since I'm also using Vanced.

The core issue for me is that what YouTube provides isn't valuable enough by itself for a monthly payment.

They don't produce their own content like Netflix, they are at best a video distribution platform, I can pay to creators I watch via Patreon but to YouTube itself, that's complicated, they would have to get a very low share of the creator revenue to start to feel convincing.
It wasn't just the car lobby. Folks in charge of state / local DoT's have huge influence. Many people know about Robert Moses, just how politically powerful and influential he became, and how he deliberately used civic infrastructure projects as a way to try to redline particular populations.

Similar dynamics still go on. Where I live Portland is overwhelmingly the major metro area, but the Oregon DOT is run out of the state capital, Salem, a much smaller and much more suburban community a bit south of the metro area. Despite supposedly being qualified professionals, it's clear ODOT sees things entirely in a car centric way. The only projects they're excited about pushing forward are freeway expansions. Portland is rather emphatic on NOT wanting that, but rather a multi-modal transit network that actually works with the density we have. In recent years ODOT has gotten so tired of the popular backlash on their projects in Portland that they've started playing deceptive games around the public notification process to try to sneak stuff through without pushback.

This whole nation just somehow lost its mind over the ideal of a car centric suburban lifestyle. And yes, some of that was straight up racially motivated, in the trend of white flight. But there were lots of things that fed into it imo. And to be fair, there are plenty of people who do like a suburban lifestyle where they live on a culdesac and have to drive to a strip mall for routine errands. But if you look at the overall migration pattern, all the growth is happening in the 20 or so major metro areas, and in particular in the ones that offer the combination of high income jobs and a more urban lifestyle. Yet somehow all these DoT's across the nation are still acting like the dream of the 1950s is their only priority.
I was just looking at this project, and I'm surprised by the lack of homebrew streaming boxes. I find it pretty amazing that the only way to block ads on a streaming box is to use a google product. There doesn't seem to be any attempts to root a Roku or create an open ecosystem for streaming apps.
AFAIK it’s not so much a lack of collaboration. It’s more nuanced than that.

The lower frequencies used by Europe for 5G are already allocated for amateur and other uses here in the US. I believe Europe has been more willing to take away amateur bands.

However here in the US, the FCC was trying to maintain those existing allocations and thus they chose to reuse 3.7-3.98 GHz instead, which is currently allocated for fixed satellite and other links.

Therefore what FCC did is potentially better for everyone, if we can find out that radio altimeters—which should be filtering out frequencies that never belonged to them—are still able to work correctly.

The issue is that, as you may know, if you engineer for something but don’t actually regularly test for it, you never actually engineered for that case. Up until this point, this case was never tested in production… because it has never existed in production.

At the end of the day, we are between a rock and a hard place.
Just a suggestion, your home page's one liner is super vague and confusing. I had to scroll down to really figure out what is it that Splitgraph does...

Ask HN: Is Reddit Becoming Dumber?
I realize that asking this probably makes me sound like an asshole, but bear with me for a second. When I joined Reddit, circa 2012, it had its shared of misinformed, poorly researched comments/posts like every other internet community, but as long as you stuck to niche subreddits it was mostly downvoted and contained.

As the years pass and I pick up new niche interests, my instinct is to turn to Reddit to find like minded individuals, but more and more increasingly I find that misinformed and poorly researched content is becoming the default and taking over the more quality content.

Is this everyone else's experience with Reddit lately as well or I'm just becoming more of an asshole as I age? Genuinely curious what others think.

We (Europeans) use other frequency bands for 5G: 700 MHz, 1.8, 2.1 and 2.7 GHz. That's comfortably far away from the 4.2 GHz band radio altimeters use.

Why the US decided to use 3.8 GHz for their 5G, only God knows.

Somewhat embarrassingly, I was wrong about wasps and radio tracking! Some sparrow wasps (V. mandarinia) were tagged with transmitters as a means of locating a nest in Washington state about a year and a half ago, the first nest known to exist in the US. (1)

Granted, with the objective of locating the nest being in this case its extirpation, that the tracker should be innocuous would be of secondary concern in this case. However, rendering the tracked wasps unable to fly would somewhat defeat the purpose, so one assumes it was designed not to interfere too much with their activities - a difficulty no doubt ameliorated by these wasps' unmatched size and strength.

I'd like to read the paper undoubtedly since published by the entomologists involved, but haven't the time just now to find it. But speaking of finding things - given how late in the year that nest was located, it's very probable that any mated gynes to whom it had given rise had dispersed from the nest and possibly entered diapause before the nest was found. Between that and the sparrow wasp's relatively reclusive nesting habit, while this was the first nest known to exist in the US, it's almost certain not to be the last.

I suspect it's a hard issue for the App Store model.

You don't want a situation where someone updates App A, it updates a lib, then App B breaks because it hasn't been checked against the new library. I know you are a good developer who would check that, use major / minor library versions correctly etc. but there are lots of developers on the App Store. Or the fun case of updating App A, it updates a lib and then magical new features appear in App B that Apple doesn't like.

You'd probably have to use some sort of strict library versioning system where every app version is tied to a very specific library version. Are developers in general going to be disciplined enough to actually keep their apps all in sync on a specific version so older versions of the libraries can be removed? Or does this just mean every app from a developer will end up having its own slightly different revision of the lib tied to them? If it's the latter its probably not worth Apple's time adding all the complexity to manage the libraries to the App Store system.
yeah but it sucks to become the new "cobol" - I hope not, at least, as I am learning now C++ after so many years and I really like it. But hey, I don't make money with it, so I can't talk about how frustrating it must be to debug some weird stuff, etc.

No, they wanted to move wealth, and consolidate it. So you could be fooled into initially thinking it was a leftist agenda when it was “take wealth away from rich bankers”. But it quite quickly deteriorated to something else.

It’s important distinction that at the extremes both left and right don’t look that different. It is essentially use extreme violence to achieve wealth distribution/consolidation. Typically once someone is in control of such power even if they set out/pretended to distribute they pivot to consolidation. I guess this is what is meant by “power corrupts”

One problem with that is that I don't believe you can pay me for talk to your team without approval from my current employer.

It then becomes a problem not of finding the right person from the project to speak, but finding any person in the project who is currently a contractor able to bill you.

Or am I overthinking it?
Using a function pointer as a unique_ptr's deleter type, and passing it in at runtime, makes the unique_ptr fat (two pointers large). To avoid this overhead, I prefer passing in a default-constructible type with an operator() deleter function, and not passing in a value into the unique_ptr constructor (https://github.com/nyanpasu64/qvgmsplit/blob/edcce6df391c15b...). A neat party trick is to use the decltype of a lambda (https://old.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/rlvsq0/does_anybody_re...).
> But in a corporate (or even Open Source project?) environment, The Powers That Be probably want that kind of / that much centralisation anyway.

Agreed. I have used git in genuinely decentralized ways and have concluded that in practice centralization is the right answer for almost all projects.

Even though having the full history locally is a transformative improvement pet Subversion's model, in practice it's really helpful to know there's a canonical source of truth and to coordinate around it.
Roe v Wade is also cited as a factor because all of those kids aborted in the 70s would have been the neglected kids of the 80s and crims of the 90s.
To the point of complexity, the allocation makes the container unfit for over-aligned types. But honestly I don't even know if STL containers are over-alignment aware.

So instead of

(T*)malloc(sizeof(T) * capacity_);

it should be something like this if you want to deal with over-aligned types.

(T*) operator new(sizeof(T)*capacity_, std::align_val_t{alignof(T)});

Also, in the reallocation function the elements are move-assigned to uninitialized memory. They should be move-constructed with a placement-new. And of course calling the destructors of the moved-from objects is still required.

It's of course a little telling that the compiler will not complain about these errors and you have to use and know to use tools like address sanitizer, memory sanatizer and valgrind to let a machine help you find them.

I mean, there's virtually no one taking a flight without at least a phone if not a laptop/tablet with them, and most of them probably have a much better screen and headphone support then whatever outdated stuff would be built in to the plane.

The only thing I really miss on flights that don't have the seat backs is the thing that shows the altitude and progress on the map.
Symbolics tried that.

Scary thought: how many bytes of RAM are there in the world? Probably more than 2^64. There are around 7 billion smartphones, and many have over 4GB of memory. That's over 2^64 right there.

I'd like to have 128-bit atomic operations. If you're doing lock-free programming, hardware compare and swap on a structure that contains two pointers is useful. Then you can update lists atomically. In a 64-bit pointer machine, that takes 128 bit atomics. So far, not much hardware offers that.

I had an office-mate who maintained the telescopes at CalTech, and this was also his personal opinion about Sagan.
People wildly overestimate how quickly most people, criminals included, are willing to get into shootouts or even initiate violence against someone they don't size up as a victim.

If you show up to retrieve your stolen property chances are 99 out of 100 times you'll get it handed back without much of a question. They are just as scared as you randomly showing up and tracking them down as you are of them. You are not acting the part, and your actions are dangerous and abnormal - even most predators pause in such situations, and most criminals are not predators but opportunists.

Most cases. Obviously it's not the safest thing in the world, and if you're not comfortable with confrontation I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm financially well off enough now where I'd likely let pretty much all my physical possessions walk without recourse (what will happen if you just report to police). It's not worth the risk:reward benefit any longer.

However there were times in my life where I absolutely took matters into my own hands and collected stolen property that was critical to my livelihood and too expensive to replace. It was surprisingly easy every time. There were times way in my past I would have defended certain property with my life if it came to it, since losing it was nearly the same thing.

I am very confused.

Some of these ramblings are just plain wrong, like

> But exceptions come at a performance cost.

No they don't. An exception that isn't thrown costs nothing.

Also

> Let’s say I want to know if a constructor failed. I have two options, one is to pass
in an in-out parameter, the other is to the throw an exception.

Using a factory function instead is a third option that avoids this. Besides, this is a false dichotomy to begin with - it's perfectly acceptable to simply record the validity as part of the object's state and provide access to that (especially if the state established in the ctor isn't an invariant). So there's more than just two options.

Then there's more confusing arguments like the custom FILE wrapper. So instead of just using std::unique_ptr<std::FILE, decltype(&close_file)>, i.e. the idiomatic solution for the past decade that the author claims to be after, they blame their C++03-style on the language? I don't understand.

Fortunately they don't provide any concrete examples of "features bleeding into each other", since I suspect that would only further illustrate their lack of
understanding and knowledge gaps...

They end with

> I’m not in the business of writing the perfect program that satisfies an arbitrary standard. I’m in the business of making stuff with tools. [...]

Well great, then don't use C++ if you're not productive with it. Yes C++ is a complex language. A big portion of its complexity can be avoided by simply not using features one doesn't need (or understand) or by limiting oneself to a reasonable subset of said features.

The author seems to look for something like Go instead. C++ wasn't exactly "designed" and is the result of a steady evolution that kept some legacy baggage and bad earlier decisions around.

I hate when apps lock out rooted Android phones for "security purposes" when it's so simple to get around it by just directly accessing the API or spoofing. It's even dumber when the app/website can be accessed through a laptop which is much more permissive than a rooted phone. I've never heard a reason for why companies do this.
> That means you need to write code that wraps every possible resource in RAII logic.

This is a great point. It means that you cannot mix C and C++ code without care, which seems like a huge design smell to me especially since this is not something that can easily be verified statically.

Using C++ with exceptions disabled is the only foolproof way to run it in a large heterogenous application.
Going forward? You don't get to wipe off a chunk of the graph that you don't like, the crashes that happened and the flights that happened without crashes are all part of the MAX safety record (oh, and that goes for the 'rebranded' version as well).

I’m inclined to ask how much more understanding do we need? What does a tracker on a bird adds when we can easily tell that 90% of the deaths are caused by either indirect or direct human actions? Why do we bother tacking on a tracker if we can also tack the same trackers on fishing nets and boats that do the actual damage?

I am phrasing this as an Or statement as I do view the allocated resources for this kind of research as some kind of dichotomy. Sure the allure of animal tracking is more interesting but I can only imagine they it’d be vastly more effective for the overall well being by applying said invasive tracking to the commercial organisations that are more directly responsible.
