Does it support RTL languages?

My main problem with DearImgui is lack of RTL language support. I think one of the biggest factors which deter people from using immediate mode GUI is lack of support for many languages.
> I'm proud to say that Quicktime remains the only Apple product or service I have ever purchased, and I've been using time-sharing computing since before Apple existed, and desktop computers since the TRS-80.

You might consider getting an Apple II. It has color graphics and a lot of good games. You can even add a Z-80 card to it to run CP/M software.

Regardless, Mac minis go on sale for under $600 and provide probably the best consumer computing experience in the world for the least amount of money.

A long time ago when I was in high school (late 1970's), I knew some kids whose father was a truck driver. They were better off financially than my family (my dad was a high school teacher/councilor). I asked one of them about it and learned that his dad earned twice as much as mine. (My father had a Masters degree and 35 years of tenure.)

Times have certainly changed since then. The trucking industry is now rife with exploitation.
> I don't understand why you'd do pair programming with two new hires!

I don't know or think if it's the most effective way but it sure did help me build confidence approaching a large and old codebase with another new hire. I saw I wasn't the only one struggling and we were helping each other out. Maybe I just clicked with the fella, because we ended up having a great work relationship building awesome shit and friendship too. I dunno, maybe it was effective after all.
> The industry is willfully blind to the situation. It wants people to work massive hours for virtually no pay, blames the workers if they don’t work for free, and then threatens the workers with having no job at all if they don’t submit to these conditions. Then it wonders why people won’t go to school to get a job the industry itself says won’t be around in five years. Again, self-inflicted. This industry literally won’t even pay for chassis they desperately need (and chassis are really cheap compared to trucks), doesn’t want to pay its workers, but they are supposedly going to pay for millions of robot trucks in an amount to drive freight rates down to nothing for everybody.

Why personify “The industry” and make odd statements about it? Why is there no recognition for the actual systemic economic reasons for the issues?

For a comparison from New Zealand, my friend quit professional work to become a truck driver. It took a short amount of training to get the drivers licence. She got an entry level job that pays a little over minimum wage, but it is hourly and she gets paid for her hours. Minimum wage soon becomes NZD21 (≈ USD15/hour). However the cost of many things is much higher in New Zealand so the hourly rates are not comparable (a Big Mac Combo meal is ≈USD9 in NZ, a Big Mac Meal is ≈USD6 in the US?). The standard of living is fairly good in NZ.

For a great and geek-humourous take on the benefits of truck driving, I love this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQXVgniI-hw although he explains why he quit mid 2021 due to similar reasons as the OP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gk8AnMzhZZE
So nothing about particles on the beach, silicosis, and your claim that we inhale them at a measurable rate?
I think it is a bit unfair to be blaming the issues on truckers for not quitting. Our other industries get legal protections that ensure fair wage practices, we should extend those protections to truck driver.

We, as a nation, need these drivers. We have an obligation to extend them same wage protections we have. Even if some truck driver can and do make quite good money, that doesn't mean that the industry as a whole isn't rife with abusive labor practices.

Sounds like poe's law? "wow these radical activists have some really extreme positions! could it be that these are people that sincerely hold extreme positions? nah they must be the 'controlled opposition' hired by the elites to bring 'back up a feudal regime that can't be bypassed'!"
Yeah, that’s near the limit. The rule of thumb is one grown man per 3 meters of snake for every operation — feeding, cleaning, vet care. A 3-meter constrictor, especially a fat-bodied one like a boa or python, is unbelievably strong. A 3-meter boa can wrap around your neck and cut off blood flow to your brain in seconds, and basically nobody is strong enough to prevent it once it starts.

I’ve had snakes up to 2 meters long, and even those when wrapped around my arm were not possible to force off without injuring them. I never had to do that, thankfully, just be patient (as my hand got tingly) and give them something more interesting to do.

The thing about snakes is — they’re really dumb. They have the bare minimum intelligence that a living stomach needs to crawl around and inhale things. They get food-fixated easily (and human fingers look just like mice to them) and they scare easily. Their reactions to both are the same — squeeze it until it stops moving.
>The site is probably the most neutral crypto view out there, just because the author has no perverse incentive

"Most neutral" is a weasel word and incentives aren't solely monetary. The author not having any obvious incentives is not the same as having no perverse incentives.

When they start grappling with someone in the same "weight class" (rather than some NYT author who has a journalist's level of understanding) and open themselves up to rebuttal, then "most neutral" might start to make sense. As it stands now, it's just preaching to a choir of crypto skeptics.

The Altra does look great, but there's a spotty history of smaller players building products in this space and not making it. Nvidia has staying power, and nobody will be worried about whether they'll go bankrupt mid rollout.

I completely missed their deal with Oracle, though. That's pretty cool.

To be clear, in my opinion the shift is going to happen regardless of whether Nvidia steps in - I just think they could accelerate it significantly and it would benefit them to do so.
Would be fun to do a press release calling them out as “even our competitors use our service!” And provide proof. Then wait a week and disable their domain. And refund them. Win.

Hell, I'd reach out and ask if they have any questions.

It's possible your targeting slightly different consumers. Target definitely sends people to check out Walmart and vice versa. I even remember a marketing dude getting in trouble for taking pictures at GameStop.

IMO, this is a fantastic problem to have. The alternative is your product isn't even worth looking at

When I introduce this, my criterion is that whatever pet projects people work on during work hours should make the lives of people at the company better, if successful.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Nothing you import into Python changes its syntax.

Maybe you're thinking of things like x[:, np.newaxis] where x is a numpy array? This is valid Python code outside of numpy as well, although the built-in data structures like lists and dicts won't know what to do with the :.

My partner works in buying for physical retail (caveats: nothing to do with software, also she’s generally worked mid market and above, rather than anything high volume/low cost) and I believe _margin_ is often 30-60%, or a range similar to that. Larger retailers will also have agreements with suppliers where the margin is stipulated, I believe per SKU.

Obviously the comparison is slightly Apples to oranges, as physical retailers have massive overheads/COGS that Apple don’t incur for the App Store.
Yeah, they probably should've left out the more nitpicky points to make the whole thing stronger. "It's interesting that he uses the word 'the' here - the definite article. Are things really so definite?"

Another aspect of the same point: After a while it should become obvious to them that they're not critiquing a Faulkner or a Dostoyevsky here. Once you've fired your shotgun into the barrel a couple of times, the fish are probably all dead!

Cynical take: They're all mad that they weren't asked to write for the glorious Times.

Sure. The shape of the argument is “If X were proposed today, it would be considered unacceptable. This is evidence that X is bad. This is evidence that X is only permitted because of grandfathering”.

If you substitute X with anything, the conclusion “This is evidence that X is only permitted because of grandfathering” holds up.

If you substitute X with some things, the conclusion “This is evidence that X is bad” holds up sometimes and not others.

Therefore, we must conclude that the X’s badness comes from elsewhere, not from present society objecting to a proposal for X.

Essentially, the bull run is bad for reasons that arise from animal cruelty not for reasons that arise from society’s refusal of permitting bull runs today.

I object to the argument, not the conclusion.
I don't know that they actually are that competitive about marginal decreases in market latency. I think they're competitive for some stuff, but for others, it's easier to split the atom than split their eyelids. Literally.

Like I came up with a sorting algorithm I thought HFT--just some single monopolistic HFT company--would love, like die for. And I kept it so secret, did so much so nobody could hack it under any circumstances, never put it in an email, nothing, and? and? I sent it to over 40 FAANG and HFT equivalents and never heard back.

They really don't care about time, like really in real life. After the fact, yeah. Like when you're explaining to them why they lost money I guess. Not beforehand, when they could make money.

You're projecting about how competitive it actually is. Maybe if I actually split the eyelids first, then it would be competitive, but without that it is it is about as competitive as auctions for the best uranium mineral rights in the 1920's. Nobody gives a shit!
That's the best advertising for your competitor you could make.
It's still a separate problem.

Thanks for taking the time to read it! To address your concerns:

1. To give you an idea of the speed improvements, we transferred a 2GB file between Ohio and Singapore on AWS and were able to transfer it in 0:26 (seconds) using our protocol, vs 2:15 for SCP.

2. The basis for improvement is taking into account the changes in round-trip-time for a particular network path; these temporary increases are used as the primary congestion signal.

We are not using error correcting codes, which are good for preventing the retransmission of packets but do not address the underlying problem of avoiding congestion in a network.

“raising serious doubts as to Beijing’s supposed neutrality.”

The same way you do it now. Most computers already have non-volatile memory, typically a tiny bit for such things as boot parameters and an enormous amount in the form of disk storage.

If, today, your disk is corrupt, you tell your OS to boot in single-user mode and run fsck. If that doesn’t work, you fall back a level and reformat a disk.

I don’t see why a device where all storage is directly addressable would be different.
It's strange that this is all being recognized as a legitimate story now, when actually, they all the same information at the point it was first discovered. What has changed?
It's probably worth it, given the alternative. Depends on the people making the decisions, though.
Just to be explicit — I’m reading your words about “bones” as “human bones.” A medium constrictor, 1 to 2 meters long, is easily strong enough to crush the bones of its prey. A 2-meter boa can crush a rat’s ribcage so fast it sounds like popping bubble-wrap, and the rat dies nearly instantly.

That’s if you live-feed, which is generally considered unsafe. Larger snakes need larger food, and larger food tends to fight back. Yes, in the wild the snake wins almost all the time, but if the snake’s your pet you want it to win 100% of the time. Most responsible snake keepers will thaw frozen food, and most constrictor can be trained to eat dead rodents, as long as they’re warm enough.
Yeah, we get that. In context the real question is "why are we still actively participating in traditions that modern society would consider psychopathic?"
The problem with language wars is the people whom cannot be trusted with pointers, also cannot be trusted with lambdas or recursion.

The name of the game has always been to avoid directly insulting the bad programmers by making fun of the languages they use. Bad programmers have clustered in several languages over the course of my long career. Mostly they are the easiest most expressive languages, which would superficially seem to be an advantage, however they make it easy to express amazingly bad ideas. The harder to express languages require more work to express a bad idea thus somewhat filtering them out of that language's pool.

People whom don't understand the game think the game will be won if the bad programmers would have access to better languages for the first time in history. Despite the idea being decades old its always presented as a new idea.

There's an authoritarian streak where if only we could remove access to the inferior languages then they'd have to use the better languages and we'd have better code. However you can't force people to not use inferior tools and you can't force them to learn to use better tools.

The graph of easy to write and code goodness is interesting and nonlinear. You can express very complicated ideas in lisp easier than in vb6 or perl or interpreted basic or spaghetti fortran. However, you can express very bad ideas easier in a "bad" language, so it accumulates interesting authors. There is always a crossover point where an intermediate complexity idea is equally hard to express in a simple language or a complex language. Frankly most of IT needs are and always will be below that point. So its counterproductive to demand difficult language for simple tasks, everyone laughs at "Enterprise Java Hello World" that is 100K lines of enterprise patterns.

Expressing ideas in computer languages is much like expressing ideas in everyday language. Some esoteric philosophy texts require a VERY large precise complicated hard to use and hard to learn vocabulary. Road signs do not. For in between jobs, trying to use a minimum number of language vocabulary words and lexical complexity would be wise. It would be a fools errand to try to cut half the vocab words from street signs to "make driving safer", or an equally bad idea to force all road signs to be expressed as Shakespearean sonnets. The real world counterpart of "Enterprise Java Hello World" would be forcing the "No U Turn" street sign to be in the form of a Shakespearean sonnet.

The difficulty of tasks is usually under a power law, so its nice that we have lisp, but usually a bad idea to use lisp.

If Lithium scarcity becomes a significant problem, there will be plenty of economic incentives for recycling. There are already multiple competing companies offering ~95% recycling of lithium ion battery materials.

Also, batteries more suited to grid-scale operation like iron-flow are already in commercial use and will likely replace a fair bit of the large-scale lithium ion battery market.

Ask HN: If you used to be socially awkward and shy, how did you improve?
Recently, I cannot help but notice how shy and socially awkward I might be at times, which is quite frustrating.

To be fair to myself, I am not awful in social situations in that depending on the context I can be seemingly confident and calm, especially when I am among people I know and the context is familiar.

When it comes to new people and places, everything changes dramatically. My voice changes, my posture changes, everything changes. I can start being awkward in all possible senses.

The discomfort gets to the point where I blush and this physical state of vulnerability and self-doubt of course makes things even worse :)

I understand that all of that relates to self-esteem and phychology in general therefore my question.

It's common to advise hitting on the gym, which I just started doing last week. Funnily, the gym is the place where I last noticed my awkward behavior :)

I don't care (much) about the emotions of animals either, but I also 1) don't have a lust to make them suffer and 2) think the farming of meat is destructive to the environment. If there are tasty, cheap, and nutritious substitutes for meat, I'd gladly eat them instead.

This seems inconsistent with what little I know of employment law, or at least the spirit of the law. The difference between an employee and a contractor is mostly about the degree of control the employer exerts. Employees are more heavily controlled and therefore get more protections and benefits.

In a sane world, common practices like forbidding a "contractor" from working with any other company would be more legally risky than letting a contractor participate in an in-office party.
Because Russia can't wage a par purely based on what's in Putin's head. The assumptions and beliefs of any given leader ends up encoded in both internal policy memos, and in the observed strategic decisions made by the various agencies tasked with executing on said leader's goals. Both are places where external observers can infer what is going on in the upper levels of the government.

The type I am really hopeful about target the flagellum. The only portion of the human body to have this would be sperm cells. Backing up a bit, it's very hard to target a medicine to something highly specific, since it circulates through the body, which re-uses proteins all over the place. This, though, represents a single target.
