I'd just like to correct you, nowhere did I mention WFH... I actually meant 2 months "holiday" at the moment there is talk of work 4 days get paid 5... Besides it kind of happened during Covid..
There is a movement in France, called "decroissance" (less growth) and really we should be imagining it in terms of reduced energy consumption by all means and increased human value...
I could go on and on but one thing strikes me, ATM in Switzerland people are obligated to pay for health insurance, they have one of the lowest corporate tax rates, yet 400$/per month is usual... it just feeds the managers....(besides being what I spent in a month)
Coalition losses in the entire war, where they were again, fighting a numerically far superior force, were tiny. ~200 killed. Estimates of Russian losses so far are 10x+ that

The latest figure reported by Ukraine was they have killed 3500 Russians already. So allowing for a few hours of losses, about 20x.

fmt does this. For a given object, you specialize the “formatter” class. The formatter class parses the format string and stores the contents of the formatter string. It then writes out the formatted string to an output iterator.

fmt has a “buffer” class which is used as an interface between formatters and their two primary use cases, which are formatting to strings and formatting to files. A buffer is an abstract base class which exposes a pointer to a region of memory and has a virtual function to flush the output (sort of). When you call fmt::format or fmt::print, you’re getting std::back_insert_iterator for a buffer.

I would describe this as “surgical usage of a virtual function” because it is used exactly in a place where it is not called often (you mostly write to a buffer, and flush it less often) and its use reduces the number of template instantiations in your project. That said, the ergonomics for custom formatters is not great.

Thanks for this and the sibling replies.

I’ve been out of the game a long time. I have a pair of SL 1200 MK2s in the original boxes (boxes beat to hell, they were my only cases) in my moms attic.

They were expensive new, I picked up a djm-500 at the same time. Looking at eBay, they don’t seem to have appreciated much in value, if anything gone down given inflation.

It was all thanks to a summer job at Intel between my first and second years at college. Blew a ton on this setup!
I didn’t know Ruby, and yes, some things had to be figured out through old Ruby knowledge. But that wasn’t as much of a barrier.

Every language that gets a little creative will have these features that you probably never saw, have no idea what to do with them and when is a best practice to use them.

Things like fibers, or the ways to do iteration without a for-loop, or the do…end closure syntax. They’re new and weird for non-Ruby devs, but they have their advantages, and you just have to try and use them a few times and they’ll become as common as your previous language.
This is some needless scafemongering.

American responses to a tactical nuclear weapon aren't just wipe out life on earth or roll over.

As we are seeing there are political, economic, and social levers that can be pulled.

Beyond that, the cyber domain is highly active. Both Russia and the US have advanced cyber capabilities -- look at Stuxnet.

While I don't doubt that Putin is crazy enough to believe this nuclear deescalation strategy, I find it hard to imagine that somehow this writer at Vox has thought it through but it somehow escaped the notice of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

As interesting as it may be, I can hardly accept the argument that it is in any way competitive. Playing against static mobs with a finite game-tree is inherently...not very competitive? And not particularly entertaining either.
It's not like the game tree is infinite. The mobs and their attack patterns are all known in advance.

At some point during the win-streak, aren't you really just competing against the seed generator for a more favorable bunch of seeds that let you have the longest win-streak?

An achievement, yes, in the same sense that a speedrun is an achievement, and improving it is also technically an achievement.

But in my mind, the title of a competitive game are reserved strictly for games where the gameplay itself is performed against another player or a team.

Not to belittle his achievement, I'm sure it's very meaningful (to him).
I dunno, even the simplest of many-cylinder Otto-cycle ICEs is still a Rube Goldberg machine. Especially in aggregate with the transmission necessary for making usable the relatively narrow rpm range, fuel tank/system, exhaust, emissions/catalyst, they're all over the place.

>On the whole I'm really put off by the aesthetics of programming. The default still seems to be very "gamer": dark mode, neon everything—I can practically smell the Mtn Dew through my screen sometimes.

Oh, come on... Look at the original terminals from the old days. Dark background with green or amber text. Dark terminals are the normal thing, nothing to do with gamers. My guess is it was less power to only light up the text parts instead of the inverse. Light themes, on a computer, seem unnatural in the way they force as much light as possible on. They're trying to emulate paper, which is white by default, but I don't think that should be considered normal on a computer.
If you are young and stupid enough, you don't even realize when a book is too difficult. You just plow through it if you can make any sense of it at all. So for me it was TAOCP, a few different theory books by Aho and Ullman, and Spivak's Calculus. I can't say I understood everything in them, but they got me going.

Poe's law strikes again. I should have put a "/s" on there, and I apologise if my comment wasn't as clear written down as it was in my head. The fact that my comment appeared to be condemning all political change was meant as a clue that only a dictator would support such a position, though.

The “crap” you’re talking about is the idea that fairness has a place in mating. The thing that justifies tinder charging different groups of people different prices is that they want to and if people don’t want to buy they don’t have to. It’s the same rationale by which tiers of software services that differ in their cost to the provider by little or nothing differ in their cost to the buyer by orders of magnitude. If you don’t want to buy don’t.

No. "Nuclear" and "disruption" are words I do not want to see in the same sentence. Not when "disruptive startups" are based on bypassing regulations.
At peak I was using about $2 per day of gas to keep my place at 70F versus 60F.

I love these ideas both just for the joy of tinkering (which many on HN will understand), to experiment with saving resources, and to actually save a little:

In the summer I take cold and cool showers. It struck me that it's a bit insane to consume energy cooling my home, and then using hot water to heat myself up again. Just leave home a little warmer and the cool shower feels great - less AC, less water heating, and happier results.

Also, I took a trip to a poorer country where people, lacking plumbing, bathed using buckets and a big cup. I tried it and it worked fine[0] - almost no drawback at all, just a different habit. I need far less water to shower than I imagined and if I can, turn the water on and off as I shower. Unfortunately, it requires a shower control that is one lever that retains its heat setting; resetting the temperature every time is too cumbersome.

[0] To be clear, I am not at all implying that those people shouldn't have plumbing (they should) or that I was trying to experience poverty in any way (a ridiculous notion, considering where I came from and where I was returning to). I just saw that it worked fine and tried it.

That is a name I have not heard in years. I remember being good, but modern competitive games strongly reward speed with ridiculous time to kill.

Font size and multiple other layout parts. I am using Thunderbird on 3 operating systems and adding new account is done in different places in all three up-to-date Thunderbirds. For several months now, Thunderbird tends to ignore manually inputted IMAP host address and tries to use x part of y@x e-mail address format to connect to, even if there's no A/AAAA records for it (MX exists). e-mail-related SRV records seem to be ignored.

Regarding font size, it can be changed with mouse scroll even in windows like account configuration.

3000 so far. I'm sorry, but that's not large numbers. If really half of Russians show up on the streets opposing the war, that would be large numbers.

Their country is attacking a sovereign country in Europe - with a significant risk of WW3. At some point, you need to stand up for your beliefs, and that time is now.

And I know it's easy for me to say that, from a country where I'm completely safe. But the alternative is much worse.

To add a further reply, in addition to the excellent sibling comment:
Indeed, decisions are implemented at the bottom. E.g., when some low-cost airline decided that "random seat assignment" should not include sitting next to each other if you booked more than 1 ticket but didn't pay for assigned seats, someone coded the equivalent of

WHILE nextTo(seatA, seatB) && (unpaid(seatA) || unpaid(seatB)) {
reassignseats()
}

And there are a lot of similar stories (dieselgate comes to mind).

Now I expect the person charged with implementation to push back. Not necessarily to put their job on the line, but at least not to just continue without any comment.
As IT professionals, we have a responsibility to society - and this is part of it. (Another part is teaching those that become IT professionals to do this - doing my part!)

I will readily agree that such problems aren't necessarily fixed only by implementors calling out the ethics. But it is the least we can do. Let's at least strive for the bare minimum of social responsibility in our profession. That is not a high bar, but even that would put us ahead of where we are today.
Eventually I came full circle and think OOP is a mistake. Everything is functional for me now, even OOP languages. Statelessness, functional programming, avoid objects and hidden logic.

I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and got a CPAP machine. It has the option to control temperature and humidity in the air that's pumped through it. A few weeks ago my heater went out. Nothing serious, but it took a week to get it fixed. I'm in Southern California, so it's not like life or death or anything.

It turns out if you just turn the heat up in your CPAP machine it works fantastically well as a personal heater. It would be 45°F in my house, 80°F coming out of my CPAP machine, and I'd be lying in bed under a sheet with no pajamas and sweating. I actually had to turn the temperature down to 76°F get a good night's sleep.

Signatures are only valid for about 30 - 60 seconds (depending on the server config) and may not be re-used after a successful login. Try to create a key pair and log into the test website. Then try to use the same signature to do so again.
At night, the heat is off. Just a warm comforter is plenty in almost any weather, and the cool air feels great. In fact, I always try to position the head of my bed near a window and even in cold weather, at least crack open the window - breathing fresh air all night feels great.

For anyone who has gone camping, they know that a warm enough sleeping bag is fine, no problem at all, and again, the fresh air is a wonderful part of the experience.
Yeah, this is a big one for people in humid climates.

Here, it doesn't get that cold in the winter, but the house gets absolutely balmy and gross feeling. I have to turn the AC on just to get some humidity out of the air, despite it being in the 60s or 70s.

I have a dehumidifier also, but it can't do the job alone. It's really weird seeing how much water it sucks out of the air.

I stopped heating out of necessity when I was a poor student and made the same discovery. It's funny how when you go outdoors with other people they are freezing and you feel super comfy. I seriously think that about 3/4 of Europeans could get by without any heating for about 3/4 of winter time. Well, as long as the gulf stream holds up anyways.
I also expected a certain kind of woman and was suprised how varied users on Tinder were. Of course there were quite a few women with extensive dating experience and, let's say, Instagram tastes (not that there's anything wrong with that) but I also met a very sweet vet who kept sending me dog vids from her clinic, a movie production nerd (making them, not memorizing imdb), a depressive poet with a keen sense of style, and an MD for whom this was like a third real first date in her life.

Occasionally, the photos were a bit old (pre-pandemic) or very flattering, one might have been a tad unstable, but in general, they were just normal and nice.
I kind of feel like by A2 I’d have figured out where the optimizations are, and it’s just a matter of finding them, not sure if I’d have the energy to actually try them in game.

> In my life, I've never had the quoted problem and I've never heard anyone else say it's a problem.

I have the quoted problem. Sitting working at the computer at home. Armpits especially. Groin can be similar.

Think about the problem. In a proper typing position with elbows by your side, the part of your upper body where flesh touches flesh is the side of your chest and your upper arm. It's no wonder the armpits are warmer than elsewhere.

I ameliorate the armpits by using a gilet over thinner layers. It keeps my core warm, but does nothing for poor circulation in my hands. And I find even the thinnest gloves slow my typing.
Are new the macbooks really running cold? I haven't used the arm models but the intel ones would always seem to be warm with that lava hot spot on the bottom no matter the state of the fans.
I appreciate the explanation, at the same time I can't help but feel that many people on the right refer to democrats as neoliberals as a pejorative. Is that just a misuse of the term, or is there more to it
> In my life, [...] I've never heard anyone else say it's a problem. [...] yet somehow we all do fine. I expect our bodies adjust fine to such variations.

Take the commentor you replied to and myself as people with this problem. Its not for not trying - growing up counting pennies, not in poverty but money was tight, lead to a layers based heating mentality. One of the greatest benefits of the extra wealth afforded to the software career is to heat the space I'm in.

On the flip side I'm also sensitive to hot spaces - I keep my house in the 16-19 celcius range during the day, and colder at night.
Can't do anything is rather fatalistic. There are other ways to resist. You can call in sick, have your car break down in a key junction. Every little counts.
Hmm, you'd think then that they'd charge a higher price for younger, good looking people with the text "not DTF" in their profile then.

They're a) far more likely to find a partner and b) leave the platform when they do.

So higher "risk" of exiting the platform from Tinder's POV, so you'd want to get their money upfront, presumably?

Divorced men who are going to fat while balding, with 50/50 care of three kids and alimony to pay, aren't flying off the shelf.

So for Tinder, they're a low exit risk, and typically far more able and willing to pay for features that they think might aid them.

A 25 year old man in good shape, no kids, and starting out on a good career, is far less likely to _need_ the features Tinder charges for.
I'd love to change, but I'm signed up everywhere with my gmail account. I feel kidnapped at this point.

And it is not as easy as just changing my login email everywhere.

1. Some system (such as government ones) make it very, very difficult to change, not even possible on some

2. How do I make sure I'm not forgetting some random site I don't frequently use

3. What about everyone's contacts where they have me saved with my @gmail account, I can't update their addressbooks

At this point I think the only think I do is pray for my gmail account not being blocked.
Intelligence Is More Than an Arbitrary Collection of Abilities
_Algebraic Topology_ by Allen Hatcher. This is quite an advanced book, but it was the first topology book I picked up and it blew my mind. Without a serious math background you may only be able to read the first parts (some of chapters 0 and chapter 1), but even so it may amaze you. It was insane to see how much mathematical machinery can be built up to understand concepts as simple as “space” and “continuity.” Then these tools can be used to quickly prove facts about mind-boggling higher dimensional objects.

_Introduction to Quantum Mechanics_ by David Griffiths. Not CS or Math, but an amazing book because if you sit down and work through it it gives you a manageable intro to a completely non-intuitive and mysterious scientific field. Prerequisites are “only” multivariable calc and linear algebra.

_Algebra_ by Michael Artin. This was the book I decided to grind through at the right time to learn abstract algebra and get better at rigorous proofs, and it was worth it. Part of why I loved this book and subject is because it feels dry and mechanical at first, but if you work on it long enough you can see the beautiful bigger picture come together.

_Introduction to Topological Manifolds_ by John M. Lee. This was another “right book at the right time” for me. The title is a bit jargony, but it is a rigorous introduction to the foundational objects of modern geometry (namely topological spaces and manifolds in particular). Great warm-up for the first book on my list.

_Algebra: Chapter 0_ by Paulo Aluffi. Weird title, but the first few chapters are the best perspective on abstract algebra I’ve seen. He focuses early on categories in a useful and philosophically interesting way, which is unique.

_Gravitation_ by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler. Didn’t read the whole thing, but this book taught me a tensor is just a higher-order linear function. Who knew? Most physicists give really crappy explanations of tensors. Also I love that this book, affectionately known as the “phone book”, is so heavy that one imagines spacetime curving around it.

The report from Mozilla argues that (paraphrasing:) it would be both technically and legally messy to try and regulate the details of pricing algorithms. It is much more feasible to introduce privacy laws so that the use of a consumer's data for personalized pricing is transparent, fair, and lawful. (page 27 of the original report [0])

I feel very cynical about this. The best solution they can come up with is to let the GDPR deal with it? It's hard to believe that unchecking 5 boxes every time I visit a new site truly aligns with their goal of transparency. The researchers suspect that a lot of personalized pricing schemes are in violation of the GDPR, but I just don't know what enforcing compliance will change.

Coincidentally, I just started writing an essay in my ethics class on methods to deal with unethical algorithmic decision making. I'm very happy to discuss this.

A lot of times this just does not work for me. Even if the air is a temperature I would like, a room with cold walls, well ... you can literally feel it. It's a blackbody radiation thing ... you are emitting heat but the walls aren't emitting as much as you are, and it feels like heat falling off of my body. Which is fine sometimes but if I need to get work done, I go into torpor.

I may be unusually sensitive to infrared: one of my backrub tricks is apparently "kknowing" what hurts without being told. Aside from posture, if you just wave your hands over someone's back, you can feel the heat come off more in any inflamed or tense area.
You are right. I meant fresh water. Sorry, it was midnight when I wrote that.
