You've hit the nail on the head, that's a perfect analysis, and it wasn't an isolated incident!

But they'd been like that for a long time, since before I started there in 1990, long before Java. They DEFINED themselves in terms of Microsoft, to the extreme extent that when Sun Microsystems fell apart into separate divisions, they actually named one of them "SunSoft" to directly position it against Microsoft. As if.

The management at Sun didn't consider Java to be a programming language or software platform, they considered it to be first and foremost their primary weapon of mass destruction in their apocalyptic war against Microsoft, and they didn't consider Java developers to be loyal cherished customers, they considered them to be disposable brainwashed mercenaries in their World Wide War against Microsoft.

It was funny when Sun proudly and unilaterally proclaimed that Sun put the "dot" into "dot com", leaving it wide open for Microsoft to slyly counter that oh yeah, well Microsoft put the "COM" into "dot com" -- i.e. ActiveX, IE, MSJVM, IIS, OLE, Visual Basic, Excel, Word, etc!

And then IBM mocked "When they put the dot into dot-com, they forgot how they were going to connect the dots," after sassily rolling out Eclipse just to cast a dark shadow on Java. Badoom psssh!

Sun totally dropped the ball fighting their true original enemy AT&T, and they should have put all that effort and energy into improving SunOS and railing against AT&T after SunOS finally beat System V in the Unix market, instead of capitulating to AT&T AFTER SunOS won the Unix war against System V, and then rolling over, giving up, selling out to their mortal enemy, and becoming Solaris.

To port my favorite cross platform Apple/IBM joke:

Q: What do you get when you cross Sun and AT&T?

A: AT&T.
You could replace with a roundabout.
Less upfront cost, more longterm cost. You can make a huge grid of streets and just stop sign all of the intersections and avoid any unpleasant calculations of who should have right of way. This way, for the past 70-80 years or so, developers have been able to just ctrl-c ctrl-v mindless designs over greater land areas than city planners can keep up with.
I really don't see very many traffic law violations from cyclists, and once you put aside nitpicking about stop signs, the number gets extremely low.

Each time a cyclist has annoyed me or created an extremely dangerous situation of their own accord, it mostly just came down to poor route selection by cyclists, which represents an infrastructure problem, or exactly one traffic law violation: speeding.

Cyclists riding in packs represent a route selection and availability issue. Large groups of cyclists have to decide between being annoying or being dangerous every time they ride on a road without a bike lane or large shoulder. Whether they're riding two or three abreast (in which case everyone just has to wait for them, the annoying choice), or single file in a line (in which case vehicles have to cross the center line for a very long time to pass safely, the dangerous choice), there is no safe and friendly way for them to coexist on these routes. Now, of course, these cyclists did make the decision to do this - so, the debate here becomes fairly existential. Personally as a cyclist, I avoid these roads and situations, but I'm not convinced that "these people shouldn't be doing this" is a societally beneficial option here.

Cyclists who speed aggressively do really annoy me. Both on footpaths, where they build animosity with pedestrians and create dangerous collisions, and on mountain descents, where they regularly out-ride their sight lines and braking ability.
I am genuinely curious -- what _are_ the top-five awful things in your mind?
Is there a name for the logical fallacy that if an aspect of a system benefits a group, that the group must have planned said system aspect?

It's a constant thread amongst all conspiracy theorists:
GW Bush BENEFITED from 9/11, therefore he must have had some hand in planning it.
Tech monopolise BENEFITED from COVID, therefore it's a "plandemic".
Fuel sellers BENEFIT from stop signs, therefore they coordinate putting more of them up.
It has been only one day since a bicyclist was assaulted by a hit-and-run driver in Oakland. Life is not fine for cyclists in Oakland.

I'm not sure EU will resent the US. Why do you think so? By that logic Russia will start resenting China and try to decouple real soon. EU needs US for the nuclear umbrella. Their nukes are not enough for MAD equilibrium with Russia.
Also, a weakened Russia that defers to China is actually very good for the West. It is not so great for China posturing either, as China is perceived as standing alone against a unified West.
I can't tell if this is parody or not.
> The last time I tried neovim the LSP kept crashing for me on random occasions, some plugins had considerable performance issues, some things weren't async, and so forth.

Any issues with the language server I doubt are client side, and every request/response is "async".

For a minimum setup it is:

1. Install the language server via opam:

opam pin add ocaml-lsp-server https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-lsp.git

opam install ocaml-lsp-server

2. Add lspconfig, the plugin

3. Add the following to your init.lua

require'lspconfig'.ocamllsp.setup{}

4. That will give you basic linting, you can add keybindings/omnifunc integrations by copying out our configuration examples from `:help lspconfig` or the lspconfig wiki.

We're not trying to target vscode users, so if the above is too many steps that is ok, you just aren't our target audience.
I don't think that's what the OP is saying re: simultaneous stopping.

In my experience drivers with the right-of-way will yield to cyclists, unpredictably, because they think they're being courteous. I see this at road crossings and intersections all the time. The driver has the right-of-way but they'll be "helpful" and try to let the cyclist go first.
Start with easy traffic opportunities and then build a product to fit the niche. Might sound counter-intuitive at first, but it will save you headaches.
If only the Chrome engineering team had actually been behind this work, they would have run it past the Diversity and Inclusion team which would have bounced it back for changes on account of the very point you bring up. Avoiding alienating audiences that don't think like the author of any given piece of content is one of their first class goals.
How would yield signs would be better for pedestrians and pedestrian safety?

I could totally see the Linux Kernel setting up their own alternative Rust package mirror that cargo uses: you get the ease of use of cargo while also getting the desired level of curation. It could either be treated as owned packages, only projects written by kernel contributors, or it could be the linux distro packager model, where blessed crates at a point in time are curated, but not necessarily audited beyond some smoke tests.
I remember in Illinois seeing a little sign under the stop sign like "4 way", showing you that it was a 4 way stop. Here's a street view: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8659021,-87.6285001,3a,41.2y...

I don't really recall these in New York, but I went for a search on Street View, and we seem to do the same thing here: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6700018,-73.9955353,3a,75y,4...

It seems like that if cross traffic doesn't stop, the stop sign doesn't have a marker. If it does, it gets a tag like "ALL WAY". No idea if this is standardized or an artifact of my sampling, or if it varies between states.

(I had to really rack my brain to find a 4 way stop in NYC. Ultimately the satellite view was helpful, they seem to not paint crosswalks if traffic doesn't stop. Seems dangerous! People are going to cross those streets. But I digress.)

> I don't want the company to spend a bunch of money on a ski trip for the company, I want to see my portion of that money in my pocket so I can do what I enjoy.

Your portion would be taxed, they can offer this avoiding 40% taxes on it or whatever it would work out to at your marginal rate. You may still not want it, but the alternative isn't getting the same money.
Catastrophic sounds strong. As far as `restrict` goes, C was never that far behind Fortran in performance.

And if maintaining `restrict` for other passes is really important, maybe the order of the passes should be changed. I'm not pretending compiler optimization is simple, but I can't see any situation where having an incorrect optimization pass run first is the right thing to do. The broken pass needs to be fixed, and it shouldn't have emitted code with incorrect `restrict` on it.
I do not see any logic here. They took a metric, in this case the location of accidents, and correlated it to a solution with no evidence that the solution (exiting the intersection as soon as possible) will actually improve things.

I could just as easily claim that the problem is what cyclists are doing in intersections, not the length of time they are there. There is more than one axis here. In my experience (I have lived in CO for 35 years) cyclists already assume that they do not need to stop and treat stop signs and some stop lights as yield signs. Does their data take into account if the cyclist in these accidents were actually following the letter of the law in the first place?
> How do remote startups function? Back in my startup days, my cofounder & I lived in the same house when we were founding. We slept in the same room in order to synchronize sleep schedules as well. Bandwith was (as expected) super high. Immediate communication over issues while still allowing for uninterrupted work time. Being able to point at your screen and say "take a look" is super powerful.

I'm starting a startup now. There is no way that I am ever going to be pointing at a screen and telling my cofounder "take a look". My cofounder will not be a tech guy, he'll be a sales, marketing and customer-contact guy.

A business is "product + distribution".

There is very little point in having two cofounders who are both focusing only one of the above two variables. I think it is a recipe for failure, and so I will not be doing that.
this made me happy, thanks for testing and reporting :)
People keep saying this and they keep getting ignored. I don't get it because to me it ticks all the boxes.
One belt one road. Much ink has been spilled on China's recent international ambitions that will make infrastructure investments in 70 countries between now and 2050. The reason this is common knowledge is that their superpower ambitions are blindingly obvious.
Only on bigger roads. Not very safe for pedestrians.
I don’t think the brain or the drugs themselves are are simple enough to be reduced to one or the other.
Yes, but media being owned by a few families rhetoric used to be in the "conspiracy theory" territory until now. Musk has been pretty open about that, remember his "who do you think owns the press" tweet?
One slightly reasonable opinion is that Chinese population density is way higher than anywhere else in the world and it may go out of controll if not 0 policy
So what's the problem anyways? One platform is changing ownership, the open web doesn't care.
/r/politics has definitely shifted from “OMG Ron Paul It’s Happening Narwhal Bacon!!!111!!” to dominated by progressives, but I think you’re seeing it through rose tinted glasses. After all, /r/atheism was also a default sub.

/r/all is populist as ever, but Reddit as a whole has simply fragmented. For politics specifically, non-progressives just live outside of /r/politics. Neoliberals tended to hang out in /r/political discussion, Trump supporters in /r/the_donald, neoconservatives in /r/tuesday, etc.
You should ask for a list of known competitors. Examples.

Or you provide a list and ask them if they agree you cannot work at those.
> not just a pattern/architecture

I'd argue that the "pattern/architecture looking frameworks" show a higher degree of loose couple and are thus better.

I absolutely love it.
> A program is idempotent if when we run the program multiple times (on the same input), it will have the same effect as if we run it only once.

Determinism/purity could be defined the same way; the difference hinges on your interpretation of "run the program multiple times on the same input". That is, if you run `f(x)` and then `f(x)` again (on the same input, see!), you ought to get the same result. Given the spotlight pure functions have received for the last N years, maybe this distinction is worth making explicitly?

The "on the same input" part is, I think, what puts it uncomfortably close to determinism. Hmm...

> How I like to think about idempotence is that we have some desired state (the input), and then we have an actual state and the purpose of the program is to bring the actual state to the desired state.

This is a lovely way to look at it!

In NYC most cyclists seem to already do this.
My Cease and Desist from AudioEye
Just this week I has to query a JSON file that is 13-14 MB in size. I already had Node installed, so that it what I used. I was surprised that it was able to do the processing so fast that it was done as soon as I hit the enter key in the terminal window. And the processing wasn't trivial, it had to touch every single element of the entire JSON file and put the entire thing into a new data structure. I was quite impressed at how fast it was. It took my IDE about 5 minutes just to open the JSON file so I could take a look at it to see how it was structured.
Or they live in California where non competes are not enforceable.
Ask HN: Does anybody use “playbooks” at work? When, and how?
I hear this term a lot. "Playbooks". "Systems". Even, "Operating System". And I hear about people creating them and using them with much success in their business. I've never really used one, and I'm not even sure how they're being used. I realize I'm at risk of sounding really silly here, but they sound like great tools that I'm not taking advantage and I'm not sure how.

I've used SOPs in operations before. Checklists and requirements and "thou shalt do X" and what not. But I've never been "wowed" by a system or really seen its benefit firsthand.

As an engineer, I understand the benefit of having a system you can iterate on and improve over time, but how are people actually implementing these in their business?

I know this is a vague question, here are a few concrete ones:

- Are you currently using playbooks?
- When?
- How?
- For what purpose?
- Have you ever created one for your company?
The joke is that once you actually try to show how misogyny would work on animals it becomes patently ridiculous.
Bicyclists have places to go and those places are often, disproportionately even, on the "main road". Asking cyclists to bike at least two blocks out of their way is not reasonable. Also often those side roads have uncontrolled crossings of other busy roads which makes traversing them practically impossible.

The real question is why a car, which can effortlessly stop, go, and turn without any exertion whatsoever on the part of the driver, is permitted on the shortest route. Since it's so easy for a driver to detour to a side road, the main roads should be reserved for bicyclists and pedestrians exclusively.
IMO the tolerance factor is huge with cannabis. Even for experienced daily smokers if you were to take a few days off, the effects are very noticeably more powerful. When you have zero tolerance, the drug feels like on another planet compared to something more familiar like alcohol. When you have a lot of tolerance, its a comfortable buzz you can be productive on, like a workingman's whisky drunk but without the slop.
Thanks for the example. Is it considered UB to compile the first example with -std=c++17, the second one with c++2a and link them together?
Yep. If you don't want me to work, you can keep me at my current standard of living plus a penalty for the 18 month resume gap and potentially rusty skills.

If it's not worth that much to you, I probably don't possess enough super secret special sauce stuff for you to need a non-compete anyways.
Who is meant to be the “female Steve Jobs” he is talking about?
This is already in effect in Idaho. In my experience, the cyclists that ride dangerously do so regardless of this rule.
"A Room of One's Own" (2022 edition)
AWS is based in Seattle, Washington, not California.
I also noticed recently that Philip Guo’s site is gone, and was taken down on purpose. I remember a few great articles that showed up on HN. My interpretation was that the ratio of effort to reward just started to skew, which is understandable and sad
The US, for various reasons that primarily relate to privatized healthcare and a proliferation of lawyers, had absurdly high rates of lawsuits and liability around driving. Most road signs here are excessive for the purposes of making it as straightforward as possible to assign liability to a driver in the event of an acccident.

A prime example of this is the "No U-Turn" signs all over the US. People make U-turns at these spots all the time. The sign is really just there to ensure that any accident resulting from said U-turn is always, no matter what, the turner's fault in a legal sense.
You have a hilarious misunderstanding of the financial system, and using Financial Times is proof of it.

Like a lot of HN posters, you seem to have zero understanding of the rules behind the rules and think what's actually found codified in law somewhere sitting on a shelf is how things actually work. It isn't.

If it was, Hunter Biden would be in jail, the last 4 or 5 American presidents should be impeached and in prison for war crimes, most of the high level executives at large banks would in jail after 2008.

Shareholders can absolutely order directors to act on their whim, or guess what happens at the next shareholder meeting? That board director gets fired.
Well, you are supposed to get it every month until the clause expires, which can be a long time after you stopped working for them. I've only seen it happen to C-level guys of big companies.

Yes. The headline talks about sulky billionaires but the whole article is sulky.
What I mean by no competition is that the high earners from FAANG etc are able to muscle out any "normal" people. So there is some competition driving up prices, but most people lost before the game even started. Essentially the wealthy have no incentive to keep costs/bids down.
While it isn’t stated in the headline, the article focuses primarily on large North American mammals.

COVID caused a revolution guys -lets not lose sight of that just because we miss the ritual of the office.

in his post, looks like OP wants the team to have occasional meetings and more in-person meetups.. sure I'm fine with that, covid permitting. BUT

if a Remote lifestyle allows me to check in code, manage teams and be productive while at the same time caring for my family, extended family, save commute time, or if I have the means, to sit on a beach or in a forest and do my work, why shouldn't we prefer that flexible way of working, at the expense of some added communication overhead ... why do we need to enforce the ritual of the office at all -ie, lets DOWNSIZE the office. make it less relevant, sure we cant give it up completely for many organizations or projects..

And especially for those of us who work in shitty companies (and there are many of us) we know that some workplaces can be like this: https://youtu.be/jg047oJf1B4?t=58 -anything that lets people work remotely or gets away from the hell of being a wage slave should be an option..
the same author did another article on that subject, btw: https://www.tanknology.co.uk/post/russian-turret-cages
I think #'s 1 & 2 have to be 1) stack ranking & forced PIPs, and 2) comp policies overall (the stock vesting schedule being part of it, the bonus program covering the first two years being another, and the [until this year] low base salary cap being a third).
My driving instructor* ~20 years ago said that's the reason stop signs are hexagons – you can see it's a stop sign from the other side. Same for why yield signs are inverted triangles – the person who doesn't have that sign can see from its shape what it is.

*this was for an underage moped license
Your argument would be stronger if you would address the technical challenges he commented on.
And once they publish the article, other people share it and some portion of people say "I can't believe people are saying X!" without realizing it was 5 bots.

The UK/NPR model is the only way to do it right. Media companies simply can't make money, and therefore unless there is public funding it is inevitable we'll end up with a bunch of pet media outfits at the whims of rich tycoons.

Imagine believing that a car driver expects someone to stop at a stop sign. Literally 100% of American drivers, without any exceptions, already do the "Idaho Stop" at every intersection. They just don't want to own up to that.
I've promoted this comment of mine since some are saying the article is incoherent. I posted it because:

I took the author to be asking a couple of important questions:

1) Do we want the "Codes of Conduct" and "Mission Statements" of private corporations to be our moral guides? I think a lot of religious people take issue with some of their stances, especially in regards to trans rights. (I am not stating my own opinion here.)

2) An interesting idea about AI that I hadn't considered: Can we have a proper discussion about regulating AI on platforms that are regulated by AI?
