Shame that the parent comment was flagged, because the quote I used from there and my reply were pretty mild considering the rest of the parent comment. I also find it pretty ironic that OP tried posting their own content on TikTok about C++ not that long ago, someone in the comments called them a boomer (not making any of this up, you can easily verify it), and then the OP decided to do full 180 on TikTok and declare it a brainrotting empire of evil that was designed by CCP to defeat the west.

I enabled "showdead" in settings, so that I can copypaste that flagged/deleted parent comment for everyone else to see. Everything below this sentence is just a direct copy of that content.

>> * YouTube ad revenue: $6.87B vs $7.51B expected

>> MISSED because children are watching TikTok instead of YouTube. China has infected the minds of our youth, they have robbed the Western world of our future!

>> Scroll through TikTok you realize how mindlessly fake it all is; the dancing, the music, the Charli D’Amelio, the Justin Bieber—you know, the app who promotes videos of kids destroying their school bathrooms. Pretty soon they’ll tell your kids they gotta love Charli D’Amelio, and then Charli says "hand in your guns", "recognize the South China Sea", and "the police state is good", and then your children are turned into a mindless vassals—who now, watch some teenager dancing, instead of watching YouTube videos about Thomas Jefferson, or Nikola Tesla, or even Magellan; I mean, kids, Magellan is a lot cooler than Justin Bieber!

>> He circumnavigated with one ship the entire planet! He was killed by wild natives before they got back to Portugal! And when they got back there was only like eleven people alive of the two hundred and something crew and the entire ship was rotting down to the waterline! That's destiny! That's will! That's striving! That's being a trailblazer and an explorer! Going into space, mathematics, quantum mechanics, the secrets of the universe—It's all there on YouTube for kids to learn about! Life is fiery with its beauty! See its incredible detail in YouTube’s 8K! Tune into it!

>> China and TikTok wanna shutter our children’s mind, talking about Justin Bieber! It's pure evil! They're taking your child’s intellect, their soul, and giving you Charli D’Amelio and Bieber. We need to unlock their human potential! Defeat the CCP who wanna shutter their mind!—your doorways to perception!—I wanna see them truly live! I wanna see them truly be who they are!
No, but I did remove the BitTorrent client that was serving up his entire drive.
Cool, I think I read that also! But, yeah it is on the low-end for a skilled engineer working for US companies, and also I'm thinking it's on the high-end / an outlier for github sponsors.

It's not just America. We have exactly the same issues here in Australia.

You can make a lot of the "fun" of bitfields go away with lvalue-to-rvalue conversion, and C tends to do this conversion very rapidly so that it's hard to find good cases for truly bizarre stuff, whereas C++ makes lvalues last a lot longer.

Of course, if you go reach for C's standard "fun with lvalue" operations, you can get some crazy nonsense. What machine code should you generate here [1]:

struct A { int x : 5; volatile _Atomic int y: 3; } a;
a.y++;

I will note that the intersection of volatile and bitfields has been another fruitful area of compiler bugs [2] historically speaking. While C++ does provide better what-the-ever-living-fuck moments for bitfields, C has had its fair share of issues with bitfields.

[1] Whether or not you can make a bitfield _Atomic in C is implementation-defined, so it's possible that someone writes a C implementation where this is legal. I will note that, in a rare display of sanity, all C compilers I can test do in fact sensibly reject _Atomic bitfields, but for the purposes of argument, assume that someone has one where it's permitted, since it is allowable by the standard.

[2] Or programmer bugs blamed on the compiler. This is the intersection of two areas that are notorious for underspecification to begin with, and combined with the general tendency of programmers to expect C compilers to be a thin veneer over assembly, makes it awfully difficult to figure out which behavior is language-intended.
A method that does will often (depending on the architecture) have much more overhead than a struct lookup. If you're doing hardware stuff, you often care about performance.
The current interface doesn't have the stars and space theme, but yeah, it's pretty much the same.

I agree that the sound difference is likely overstated, but there are two additional factors:

* Drag coefficients are significantly lower in EVs, partially because you smooth out the undercarriage and generally get more freedom in aerodynamic design.

* Due to range concerns, EV tires tend to be more focused on low rolling resistance.

Both of these should gently reduce road noise, if I were to speculate?

>3. IT systems that they have to use were designed by people who have not talked with the workers who use them. They may have been designed with laws and compliance in mind. Nurses aren't the people who choose or pay for these systems. But, they use them a lot (maybe the most) and it's obvious they weren't taken into account when designing the UX. It's maddening for them.

>This one is big for product designers. Often we listen to the people who pay for it and miss out on the people who actually have to use it.

Thats an interesting comment because I know the main developer for one of the most popular hospital systems used throughout Europe and its popular because its good.

Saying that, I also know there are medical consultants at a world famous hospital who dont really know how to program but because of their position have got their software in use when it perhaps shouldnt be.

I know alot of US programmers doing various medical systems for local hospitals and health care regions with various standards of programming skills.

Like you I also know of people in various roles, from world famous multi millionaire consultants to nurses on the front line. Every team & dept is different. Sometimes its a managerial problem at the top of the health trust, other times its just the team and low level management.

Saying that there is a culture of taking a sicky probably because they see consultants putting private work before NHS work and they see the wages some of these consultants get paid and Google Scholar, PubMed, DrugBank etc keeps highlighting the inadequacies of the teaching, ie they dont keep up to date, some areas appear to be decades behind the science other areas are within a few years of the latest research.

Too much reliance on drug companies when superior non patentable solutions already exist.
Yeah I think people are blinding themselves to the huge differences between chiropractors and just lumping all of what they do into one single bucket and tossing it out. In physical labor heavy areas they help a lot and 90% of their business comes from relieving pinched nerves, fixing dislocations, deep tissue massages, and physical therapy regimes. Nothing quacky about that, especially when it is hard to find a doctor these days who will put their knee into your back and pop your shoulder out and back into the proper place instead of prescribing narcotics and endless rest for weeks on end that is not feasible in those communities.

But on the other end of the scale, you also got ones who don't have that sort of business and are selling new-age crystal moon beam energy healing power and claiming anything and everything they can sell you will cure you of any and all ills which I think most people would consider irresponsible and dangerous.

One side argues for chiropractors because of what they do above on top of being super cheap and affordable for the average labor worker. The other side argues against it because they only see new-age crystal therapy in their areas while also being able to themselves afford better healthcare with a significantly less physically damaging workload.
Indeed. I wrote about recreating what I wanted from Heroku within ECS Fargate. There was a lot of initial configuration but very, very low maintenance work.

On top of that, most of the techniques that mobile apps leverage today were developed for web apps of old. REST + JSON was built as a lightweight data transmission option for Ajax/XmlHttpRequest versus transmitting HTML over the line. Component-based/Reactive UX came about because of the unknowability and variability over browser windows. Asynchronous development paradigms came to prominence due to the high latency of frontend<->backend apps combined with fault-intolerance assumptions. Etc.
...he posted that 3 days after the invasion, 6 days after his previous tweet, and hasn't posted (including likes or RTs) since though he was posting multiple tweets a day on a wide variety of topics up until stopping 3 days before the invasion.

I mean, unless he had a much broader epiphany and you mean literally everything when you say “things he does not understand”, the tweet you reference, and your (reasonable) characterization of it's overt message read in isolation, doesn't really explain his actual behavior change.

EDIT: It's also worth noting that his next to last tweet, on the last day he tweeted before the six-day pause, was a vague (generally taken as negative) post apparently about Putin’s speech the same day: https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1495848959335706630?t=QSI...
Credentials in a config file can be mistakenly checked into a repository. They're easy to exfiltrate from files, say I write a script with well known configuration locations for thousands of applications and just dumbly pull them all from a compromised system. I now have little bits of access to the wider system where I can now jump from system to system.

The best way to store ephemeral secrets is in an environment variable or /dev/shm. This locks the secret behind the scope of the parent process (shell instance) and the user.
I vaguely recall that gcc supports this even in C mode.

The underlying problem has to do with whether the IR has first-class concept of arbitrary lvalue or whether the frontend has to convert lvalues that get passed around to some pointer-like thing.

It might look irrelevant for discussion of low-level AOT compilers, but it is also interesting to compare how this is implemented in dynamic/“scripting” runtimes and how the choice of underlying implementation of the concept of “lvalue”/“place” influences the user visible language. Somewhat notably first draft of Common Lisp had something akin to first-class lvalues and the final standard replaced all that with significantly simpler mechanism that purely relies on macros.
Exactly. If the spec was wrong, fix the spec. But we must meet the spec, and we must have specs that are meaningful and accurate.

Seems you understand the more income -> more support trap. Mandatory overtime is considered in support calculations. That sets high water mark so going back to 40/hours week does not lower payments. I learned the hard way, and last employer I regularly sent email to boss thanking them for opportunity to work voluntary overtime. I would subpoena the boss's response of 'yes' for evidence in child support hearing to only use 40/hours week. The courts and county child support enforcement are wicked and liars.
Yup, there are also B+ and B* trees!
That article was just a recent example. If you search around you can find many other hospitals which have closed down or gone through bankruptcy in recent years.

In 2020 the US median salary for an RN was $75K. That was well above the median household income. Hardly pauper's wages.

Most hospitals are not extremely profitable. In fact the majority are run by governments or non-profit organizations.

Tech companies will pay engineers as little as they can get away with. Expectations have nothing to do with it. Wages are set by the market.
I was born before the internet. I was in high school when Ward and Randy decided a Computerized Bulletin Board was a good idea. The internet was a thing after I was into my adult life. I'm 58, and NO, I don't feel overwhelmed. In fact, it is surprising to me the quantity of things that have not made it online.

You would not believe how many daily social events made it into the local newspaper in my home town. There are accounts of my recent ancestors comings and goings, the family party that likely resulted in my Father's birth 9 months later... ;-)

There are whole swaths of things that never got recorded, and never will. The gatekeeping functions of publishing have been replaced by the savage and random fates. History of my family from Europe is gone, blown up, bombed, etc.

The internet makes sharing widely possible. It changes the forces that limit the availability of information. Sometimes getting rid of the gatekeepers, and replacing them with propaganda spewing fountains of drivel, sometimes enabling the common person with a knack for telling stories to connect with an audience that would have never found them before.

I'm glad the Internet Archive is here, trying to compensate for the loss of the wildly generative early internet.

>Btw. you could say, just turn off the Internet and buy a book, but can you really pretend it doesn't exist? And how long can you stick to it?

If it weren't for my current eye surgery issues... yeah, books are cool. Could I turn it off, and do without? Only if it's a challenge... and surely I can outlast anyone who grew up swimming in the internet. ;-)

Example: I still know how to drive from coast to coast using only paper maps and written directions.
Would it be possible to consolidate all the "what happened to Pinboard" threads in one place? It would greatly reduce my workload!

> No kidding. There was a reason apple started doing their genuine battery warnings

Maybe, but that's still a problem they created for themselves. Knockoff sellers would never have marketshare (and thus less economies of scale, reducing their cost advantage) if you can buy the genuine thing for a reasonable price as conveniently as you can buy the knockoff.

A lot of third-party/aftermarket parts are used not even because of cost but availability. Amazon offers same or next-day shipping for a lot of these knockoff batteries.

This reminds me of an incident when I needed to replace a lost AirPod - I was ready to pay and yet couldn't just walk into an Apple Store and buy the part. I had to instead set up a "repair" and wait for shipping and then UPS screwed it up twice. It took weeks and hours of annoyance over email/phone for something that should've taken 15 minutes to buy at the Apple Store on my way to the office.
This is why we test our code, or build in runtime checks, before releasing it.
I live in a country with (mostly) free health care and we have 6-month wait lists too. Same shit in the UK, who invented the NHS.

Please stop blaming every problem on your ideological pet peeve. Society is too complex for every single issue to be caused by capitalism, financialisation, the patriarchy or systemic racism.
Right, I already believe it all makes sense when you understand the model, but the model isn't super obvious and I often find myself Googling things for reference because I don't use it very often; however, I do use regular programming languages and I can reason about those more easily (although while I like Go, I would be more inclined to used a Python- or JS-like language for something like this).
I don't see these being true unless you live in an area where getting around on a bike is actually realistic. Basically not USA, even the metro areas, except for maybe a handful.

Interesting comments throughout but..

- Selling to public sector is a costly and lengthy process. Not to mention the lack of competence from the public sector partners.

- Usually, the money is made by making sure the entity will subscribe for as long as possible, and it should be possible to repackage the same software and sell to somebody else with little effort.

- Open sourcing puts the company into a position where it's own code could be reused by the competitor without investing as much.

- Furthermore, the projects are usually short lived due to the nature of procurement, budgeting and changing regulations.

- It is a risky business that requires complicated solutions to complicated problems, not much of it is reusable outside of the specific domain.

I was developing such software for years. Better ask yourself why huge IT departments are doing barely anything despite their funding.

Apple released an IOS update for the iPhone 6s last month. That's 7 years of software updates. A 2015 MacBook can still run the newest OS. A Mac Pro from 2013 can still run the newest OS. You can still buy a replacement battery from Apple for a 7 year old device.

Where is the planned obsolescence? Apple is supporting their devices longer than any other consumer tech company. How are they actively trying to "screw customers over"?
And some dentists are straight up charlatans wanting to line their pockets. When I moved across the bay I left my dentist of 10+ years and went in search of someone closer. I admit to delaying a couple years, but found a place, got cleaned and x-rayed. The dentist told me I had 13 cavities that needed to be tended to. I was pretty shocked; I don't have great teeth, but to have developed that many cavities in such a short time seemed wrong. I went back to my old dentist for a second opinion and he told me that I had 2 genuine cavities at the edges of old fillings, but the rest of it was pretty much nonsense: amalgam fillings that could be replaced with porcelain for appearance but were still perfectly good, and some slight discolorations that were not actually cavities.
Wow... that really is some good poetry. Thanks for sharing.

This was the stated reason too, at least here in Europe. National security, which is a polite way of saying the Chinese would tap them. Which they definitely would, since we would too in their position.
Code is only half of the problem here. The other half is operations. Applications don't just run on their own; they need deployment, maintenance, backup, recovery, new feature requests, etc. etc.

Unlike the majority of infrastructure in the world, software literally isn't set in stone. This makes it much more powerful in some senses, but also much more fragile.

Look at Hoover Dam - a project designed to last a hundred years with a pretty singular purpose. The operation and maintenance burden is clear, and basically unchanging throughout the lifetime of the dam.

I agree with you in general here, but I think the actual work involved with your proposal is more akin to what the IT departments at agencies like the IRS or DMV are already doing. Specing systems for internal processes, and managing dataflow from old systems to new ones.

People absolutely did say that and tried to connect that with the election being illegitimate and took it much further for much longer than a few election audits.

So what you're saying is that whatever you or your party claims "threatens democracy" -- justified with some vague and arbitrary standards you just invented and that you judge -- is what threatens democracy. And anything anybody else thinks is wrong.

And by the way questioning election integrity and voicing concerns about that is not "threatening democracy" so that's just not some fundamental truth you've stumbled upon there either, other people can disagree about that. If your democracy is threatened by people voicing their concern about election procedures and results and must silence them to function, then it's not really much of a democracy.

What about people concerned about voter suppression or gerrymandering or whatever? Do we need to silence them too? I'm sure you're going to come up with some other vague handwaving as to why those don't meet your criteria for silencing your political opponents.

So now you see why pro-free-speech people don't like these kind of restrictions, because they can and are abused.
Forgive me for being lazy, I didn't bother to look up how many years this is over, but it's probably irrelevant anyway.

$10,000,000,000 to "assess" what government info can be stored on cloud infrastructure?

That's 10,000 millions. For basically a report on security risks of government and cloud.

This is really pay to play, or the us government propping up social media because of the data it can get access too.

But money is money. What was the combined profit of Facebook, Google, and twitter last year?

Now understand that $ 10 billion of that is not profit, but government subsidy, hidden three steps down the data chain.
Less and less people are using FB .. perhaps IG and Whatsapp yes, although you have to consider that privacy regulations can only get more stringent over time.
