I don't think that's true. The default constructor for std::string creates an empty string. See: https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/string/

The semantics of c++ object initialization are such that a constructor will always be called.
They’re buying this domain solely to use it for their wormhole network, which bridges blockchains together. So, in this context, they most definitely are “crypto people”.
I’ve always gotten the impression that Ive may be a truly great designer be he needs an editor. He had that in Steve Jobs.

Once he lost his editor the designs Apple shipped moved more and more towards being perfect designs at the expense of thoughts of usability.

And now he’s known as the guy who helped “ruin” Apple’s products until they kicked him out.

Unfortunate. For the lack of an editor.
I remember doing my first electronic related projects using discrete transistors and other elements. Now it is mostly microcontrollers, integrated circuits and blocks. Which is a very good thing. The thing I could do now in a matter of days would take months / years to implement using old approach.

Poor documentation is bad of course but a fact that one can assemble sizeable project integrating various existing APIs / libs holds huge value from a productivity standpoint.

I have to agree. Already spent 10 minutes only with the cutoff and res.

Impressive work on the app, kudos!
I guess the point is that GitHub already has a bug tracking tool. So, in a way, they are perfectly integrated.

Chucky's back Terrifying dolls cover one of America's beaches continuously
In an incident reminiscent of the famous horror movie "Chucky", more than thirty terrifying and frightening dolls were found on an American beach, although there were no logical justifications for their presence on that coast. According to the British Mirror newspaper, scientists who used to visit the American Texas beach, frequently to search for some endangered animals, such as marine mammals, turtles and some species of birds, found terrifying scary dolls spread on the beach.
The trilogy of books is very different from the movies and tv shows, so don't let that stop you from giving the books a try. I've haven't laughed out loud when reading any books besides HHGTTG.
Pattern matching is supported in 3.10 and can match classes structurally, as well as other types (edit: I see that you mean you don't like that it's a statement, which I agree with). The typing system supports structural types with Protocol. Personally what I miss most are multi-line lambdas.
The skills required to design something that looks good and provides a good experience for users are orthogonal to the skills required to build well-factored, responsive HTML and CSS.

I've worked with marketing teams that tried to build their own HTML and CSS and ended up getting something that looked great... as long as you viewed it at the exact resolution of their designer's monitor. I had to go in and make it all work on mobile, which was a nightmare because their markup and styles were so badly organized. It took as much work as if they'd just given me PNGs.

More recently I received a bunch of designs from a designer who worked in Adobe XD. The designs were great, and what I got from XD was an interactive template and some very rough auto-generated CSS (mostly colors, fonts, and border radii). This was the sweet spot for me: no breaking out the color picker or guessing what letter-spacing they're using, but I could make the code work with my templating engine and make it responsive without having to rewrite bad code that they charged me for.

If you can find a designer that is great at both design and code, awesome! Keep them! But if not, chances are the most productive workflow is to let them do what they do best and just plan on doing the rest.
If that’s true, shouldn’t one of the underlying concerns - Apple’s shift in priority from hardware to service products - be even more disappointing? How many innovative and user friendly gadgets are we being deprived of so the company can focus on US-only credit card and content streaming services?
again you call the devs lazy. you really need to sit back and think about what you say. There is nothing more apparent to me that you have no idea what you're talking about when you say that. Obviously you've never worked on a large team or in development at all. Strava probably doesn't think its worth it, and has absolutely nothing to do with the development team.
I miss living in the Arctic. 24 hour daylight in summer, aurora when it's not, love it.
You haven't demonstrated how your analogy is useful. OP's statement wasn't from a single instance of wrongdoing.
It makes me wonder whether the need to pad videos was ever true, or at least as true to the extent that creators have made it out to be. Maybe it's just a meme? I too have noticed that channels with videos even less than 10 minutes in length do just fine.

When it comes to my habits, I tend to skip videos that are < 4 minutes in duration because I feel like that's not enough time to go into detail with a lot of subjects, and I prefer much longer videos because I can put them on in the background and they have the time to sufficiently express ideas. But for a while I began discriminating against videos between 18 and ~25 minutes because I feel that those are usually the videos that are padded. It's a bad metric, but it works enough for me that I think I waste less of my time.

Creators may think that the sweet spot is between 18 and 25 minutes because quality content tends to be longer, but don't realize that the length of that content is a necessity because of the subject matter; they see it as a simple metric that is of the desire of the user alone and not based on anything else. They also trick themselves because their content naturally gets attention. As much as I like some of Veritasium's videos, let's face it, his content tends not to be super thorough or heady. They appeal to the masses without necessarily being "IFL Science". He would probably get a ton of views even if his videos were only 8 minutes long because he's charismatic, has good editing, and the subject matter doesn't go way over the heads of the average viewer.

Much of conflict is avoided when switching from 2nd person to 1st person point of view:

1) you're not delivering on time

2) I see a delay in progress

for 1), the speaker interjects an implicit judgment which the receiver has to defend against or quietly accept under duress.

for 2), the topic shifts from the receiver to the work; both parties are on the same team working towards the same goal.
Maybe now it will be called "Operation Clippy", who knows?

However I wonder what the actual value now would be. They would get some inside info on some technology but it would be very far from the tech they got from WvB after WW2
Which is where the unconscious bias comes from. It didn't mean researchers were all KKK members, just that they internalized the idea that black people weren't worth considering as they were all poor second class citizens anyways, so who would ever bother taking a picture of them? But this inequality was the result of purposeful economic discrimination by the faction of people that were indeed part of the KKK

To answer your question, though, you would want your camera to work for dark skin in case your white customers want to photograph an African American. I see no reason why that should be disallowed even in a racist society. But again, that was an oversight as they didn't even consider that anyone might want to do that
Lol, the level of secrecy we had back in those days, no two-way headphones, no phones, just had to scurry into corners to do the things our parents would say are bad, even though they did them just in their own scurried away corners. Thank you for sharing this story :-D
I'd be curious about the effectiveness of atypical stimulants such as bromantane in treating ADHD. Unlike methylphenidate or amphetamine, they don't directly inhibit reuptake or induce reverse transport of dopamine but instead upregulates transcription of enzymes responsible for the production of dopamine in the CNS. Or even weak but selective DRIs like modafinil.

Good APIs are incredibly hard to build because your always fighting upstream against the feature farm.
Because recruiters love to go on and on about how "if the stock goes to a billion, you'll make a zillion," and they never, ever, ever mention that the stock might become worthless. The other thing is that we've had absolutely stellar economic growth since the 2008 crash, and no one under the age of 32 was working before 2008, so they really have no notion that the economy won't always be growing. It's just not on their radar.
It certainly does—my apologies. This is where I saw it first. Unfortunately I can’t change it.
Yeah, Jump got on the map by being the first Chicago prop shop with a microwave line between Chicago and New York. They dominated the equity basis trade for a while.

Keeping your name out of the press and staying secretive is incredibly important and I'm shocked that they didn't just throw a fair amount of cash to this guy directly or offer it up as a donation to some Carl Sagan foundation (and offer to let him keep his e-mail address). $200k for a shop like that is literally the shells of peanuts and worth it to keep your name out of people's mouths.

Modern CPUs are 4GHz processors.

If you need 100 clock cycles per brute-force check, you can brute-force 40 million cases per second.

8-million is actually very small. Modern computers (GPUs really) are on the order of reasonably brute-forcing 2^40-ish search spaces these days (or one-in-a-quadrillion, depending on the complexity per check)

~1GHz clock on GPUs x 4096 shaders == 4-trillion gpu-shader core cycles per second. If you're willing to wait 1-hour (3600 seconds), that's 14-quadrillion gpu-shader clock cycles.
I consider the credits roll ending as the canonical ending.
We disagree on the definition (or divination) of "dice" and "sequence" and "roll".

The sequence length of a single die roll is 1. The probability of any particular roll is the same.

Let's do the next part with two-sided dice because it will be quicker.

The sequence length of a roll of two dice is 2. The roll is a bag; the probability of either [0] or [1] is lower than the probability of [1,2] because it's a set membership and [1,2] has the same members and is the same as [2,1]

IANAL, but:

According to the message history in the court filings, Merryman responded on July 1: “The price for wormhole.com is a firm US $ 50,000. -Dick-.”

To Merryman’s surprise, Jump agreed.

Indicates that there was a counteroffer for $50k and an acceptance of that offer. 323's post is wrong because quotes are not the same as what happens in the offer/counteroffer/acceptance contract dance, they're a different thing. Quotes are related to performing work for a price.[1] Here it was Offer => Counteroffer => Acceptance.

Yet if the Python program took 3 fewer minutes to write/test/debug than the C program, then that way does come out ahead.
True, but inside a country internal migrations and adjustments can happen under a common law, for instance in fiscal terms anything is the same. In law terms idem.

With WFH surely we will see a shift and a shift that will hurt some, dense cities small apartments will loose values, as commercial for quick launches for office workers in the business/city center, properties in nice areas with good connections that so far are valued much less than central buildings in cities will see a rise etc BUT inside a country it's far more manageable than all around the world!
They actually require a capital letter when creating an account. This led to a few moments of me looking for the shift key on the on-screen keyboard before noticing the note next to the password field.
Multiple reports over the years indicate that it's not just a single bad bet that got Intel into this, but a corporate culture where engineers have less and less influence and MBAs more and more, leading to worse and worse tech. Similar to Boeing.
sure! its veryla.io - would love to hear your feedback
The same thing can be said about "computer science", perhaps to an even greater degree. Anyone who comes even remotely close to performing CS almost certainly isn't using anything resembling the scientific method, and the difference between engineering and applied CS is blurry to say the least.

Maybe the vast majority of us are just programmers making the internet go.
>OP's statement wasn't from a single instance of wrongdoing.

He didn't list or make any explicit reference to any other instances. The entirety of the comment consists of:

1. assertion that "crypto people are so gross"

2. claiming that the actions of "a “major” platform" (singular) causes him to be unable to take current state of crypto seriously

>You haven't demonstrated how your analogy is useful.

Maybe BMW driver are actually "so gross", but on a forum like HN I expect more arguments backing that than just a reference to the current story.
Not “universally”. I have a stock of 2016-18 era laptops because they are the only thing I can comfortably type on for extended periods. I prefer them to every laptop that came before and every one that has come since.
I think that Sortition might be viable for an upper chamber of a bicameral legislature.

Basically the (proportionally) representatively elected career politicians in the lower chamber would become experts at law making, and build up reputations and relationships with the public and each other, but any law they proposed would have to get through the screening process of a chamber of "ordinary" people.

By not allowing the upper chamber to draft its own proposed legislation, there would be less risk of them falling into some populist mania and pushing through some half-baked idea that was trending on Twitter.
I've always assumed the rich in the US want Labor Day as far away from May day as possible, lest the workers get uppity when reminded of the past.
I'm trying to remember when I had memory limit problems. One kind is for Java/Spring services I was working on having memory 'leaks' in query template caches. There were also Linux OOMs, probably also caused by trying to run too many services on one box or one of them processing large inputs.

I can't recall a time when I thought if this app/service had better handled allocation failure, things would be great. Being out of memory from the operation was equivalent to me as a nice error message that it could resume from not having done the operation. It would be like a client getting an HTTP 502 from a load-balancer and the service invisibly restarting. Maybe it's my cattle not pets attitude to expect failures.
They're in a position to slow progress as well as steal information.

Where did they demean those that weren’t able to stay fit? Not only does that seem like a small subset of people, but they’re obviously not the target of GP’s comment.

I never remember to plug it in after I’ve finished my work and am ready to leave for lunch or for the day.

Short of putting a post-it note on my screen, I don’t think I ever will. My brain doesn’t work that way, and the point of technology is to support me, not for me to support technology.

Requiring users to perform their own async mental scheduling of a trivially forgettable pending task like “plug in the mouse” is bad design.

Perhaps some people have an innate ability to perform that kind of task scheduling without it being a significant cognitive load, but many others do not.
Ah, the variant of classic 'code documents itself'. Which is true unless you come to a dark place where stuff stops working randomly and you have no clue why. Or you interact with other systems which are just blackboxes for you.

Its fairly trivial to write on few lines piece of (bad) code that is really hard to grok for anybody else and even for you after few months / years.

What good documentation does, and it can take just few lines here and there, is explain why things are supposed to happen or not, expectations, corner cases etc. Haven't heard any good argument against that in past 20 years and doing this myself diligently even on code that is purely for me. Always thanking myself when debugging something old.
So are you are a corporate spook for QinetiQ then?
>. The only way to justify the research costs and fab costs is to amortize it across more chips

or make more money per chip, which is what intel does, since lets say compared to an AMD chip TSMC manufacturers, TSMC takes a cut of the chip for manufacturing and then AMD takes the rest, while intel collects both portions.
The sheer ubiquity of AirPods in ears I see at the gym would sure suggest that people know they are a hardware company, and have in fact bought new hardware products introduced post-Jobs.
Yes! Exactly what I was thinking. Also to take it even further, shifting into the 1st-person emotional.

1) you're not delivering on time 2) I see a delay in progress...3) I feel frustrated that the project is not yet done.

or go even further and include the 2nd-person (imagined and uncertain) emotional...

4) I feel frustrated that the project is not yet done and I imagine maybe you're feeling frustrated as well or maybe overwhelmed, I don't know.

I find 4 works SO well. especially if I add a 5th version in there, including a phrase to express love/care/unity...

5) I feel frustrated that the project is not yet done and I imagine maybe you're feeling frustrated as well or maybe overwhelmed, I don't know. I just want to let you know that I'm here for you.
How would electron ever be suitable for a command line tool, cross platform or not?
> how is this any different from the offshoring or outsourcing

There really is none, and what people are failing to realize is that if a SF-based company was paying you $300k, and the market rate for the same level of skill in North Dakota is $100k, there is nothing stopping them from hiring a lot of ND based developers and slowly winding down SF-based devs.

It won't be a "we're firing you because you are making SF-based pay", it will be for other reasons that don't directly link the two, until the entire work force is paid less.

Next, you can swap out North Dakota pay for pay in other countries, and you can see where this is going.

Developers will claim the "off-shore" talent is sub-par, but eventually this becomes a level playing field, with highly many skilled developers spread across the globe. Then what?
Hah, if you've ever used the TreasuryDirect site it's a disaster from the Windows XP days. Reminds me of those old Flash and Silverlight apps. The keyboard in the article is a virtual keyboard you click to type your password in for "security" reasons (yet there's no 2FA app supported).

I tried. The limited software and lack of desktop OS made it painful. I wouldn't try it again, personally. It felt like an exercise in compromise after compromise after compromise.
If you are building high-performance, high-scale systems software (e.g. database engines), modern C++ is by far the preferred choice for new software projects and next generation systems. The notion of C++ being "useful mostly for legacy codebases" is not in evidence. The reality, for better or worse, is that there is no satisfactory replacement currently for C++ for important classes of software even if starting from a completely blank slate. I like some of those other languages, they just can't do the job in a reasonable way.

The reason modern C++ is still the preferred language for some types of software is that it is significantly more expressive in critical ways, which has a substantial impact on software robustness, maintainability, and performance. You could use those other languages, but it would produce a substantially worse product and/or codebase.

To put it another way, there is often no way to translate an existing elegant modern C++ codebase into those other languages without major compromises to either the codebase or performance. And for the kinds of applications where C++ is preferred, those compromises are largely unacceptable. Maybe some of those other languages will approach the practical expressiveness of modern C++ for this kind of software eventually, but not anytime in the near future.
It almost feels like the silly charging port was placed there on purpose. It tells users that you're not meant to use it plugged in, stop worrying about the battery, it'll be fine. And conversely it forces the engineers to build something that doesn't need to be charged constantly.

...I still prefer my Logitech mouse that works plugged in though.
I don’t love the Touch Bar entirely, but I do really like the slider for brightness and volume.

I’d rather have fkeys for everything else. Maybe they could give us a mini touchbar just wide enough for going volume and brightness.
python doesn't have c style undefined behavior. you might get unexpected behavior, but that is very different from undefined behavior which allows the compiler to delete your hard drive and launch a nuke if it feels like it.
