> (I.e I find people in southern US will sugarcoat things differently but it's harder/easier to pickup depending on your familiarity with it).

As a Southerner that's worked in tech for a long time, I would say the broad-stroke difference between the way Southern US and West Coast approach sugarcoating is that Southerners will try to avoid saying anything directly negative /about the person/ but will have no problem being directly negative about the problem. Outside of religious contexts or in less conservative / more blue-collar surroundings, even profanity is acceptable in professional settings in the South. E.g. rather than "Bill didn't maintain the hydraulics properly on this piece of equipment." it'd be "The fucking bucket is stuck again on the backhoe." Where everyone involves knows it was Bill's job, but nobody is going to call him out directly.

Where, in West Coast settings, there's a sort of indirection that tries to (in my opinion) remove agency from the people involved entirely and sets the problem up as being inherently systemic. WRT to example above, e.g. "The maintenance process for heavy equipment should be revised to prevent future issues." when everybody involved presumably knows it's /a particular piece of equipment/ that's actually the problem, and one person failed to do their job, but nobody will say either of those things directly.

The result, as I see it, is the Southern approach prevents /direct/ blame, but creates indirect blame/accountability for individuals, and focuses on specific/smaller problem areas. The West Coast approach avoids accountability (and agency) of the people involved entirely, but has the benefit of looking at problems more systemically (although sometimes that's a waste of time/effort).
I think this question is difficult to answer. What are your goals? What are you trying to achieve? Learn a novel skill - because of curiosity or to primarily acquire a job?

I can speak to my brief, very limited experience in the space.

My first internship in college was working with COBOL programmers and migrating some legacy software to a modern, object oriented stack. I wrote COBOL, moved some things to a new stack, and write some documentation. Standard stuff.

It was a very different job (than my later roles in big tech).

The culture was old timers, very laid back, but some of the most genuinely kind and helpful people I ever worked with. My coworkers were at least a couple decades older than me, but I received some of the best feedback and mentoring on not just work but life lessons from their years of wisdom.

Attire was business formal. The environment was less, “think big innovation, reduce complexity and cost at mass scale, think about long term support and evolution”.

It was more, “Ozzythecat, you do A. Carl is going to work on B. For questions, go to Bill. Let’s check in tomorrow. Also we’re going to this diner for lunch if you want to join. The pancakes are great.” I was also just an intern, so maybe that stuff wasn’t as visible to me.

I was paid $12/hr. Not sure how the COBOL market pays these days, but that’s obviously another consideration.
Tldr: it's coffee. ;)
I know a very good developer that uses AppCode, and swears by it. He is also a native Swift/UIKit developer.

Xcode is a bug farm. I would be filled with chagrin, if it were my project, but it's always easy to be a Monday morning quarterback.

It gets the job done.
Yes, almost. But it misses optional features and common extensions.
Disgusting. Jump Trading should be ashamed, but people like that are shameless.
Y'all are getting worked up over nothing. All these sayings were taken directly off of a TikToker's/Instagrammer's posts. They're all basically just light humor.
Fair point about ifunc, but we're using our own table of function pointers, which can be invalidated/re-initialized.
Someone also mentioned that the OS could catch SIGILL.. indeed seems doable to then reset thread affinity to the P cores?
>you need to know everything about C++ in order to use it safely

Well, you should know the libraries that you're using in C++, but I don't think that's any different in Python or Java. Granted, the mental model is more complex in C++ but that's the price you pay for the amount of control you get.

Also, isn't undefined behavior a lot easier to come across in Python since it's dynamically typed?

What do you mean by crypto intern here?
Have you tried instead paying untrained students minimum wage?
In the early days of the web, I did this with college textbooks. It was the very first semester that textbook web sites were open for business. IIRC, they advertised heavily. A zillion college students got on the site all at once to save money and try out this new e-commerce concept, and the site collapsed under the load.

I went through the process 3 times and got an error each time. Eventually I gave up and decided I'd have to buy books in person the old-fashioned way. I'm pretty sure I got at least 2 sets of books delivered to me.

I had to arrange for a return, and customer service wasn't happy about it. These days, it's pretty obvious that an error on a web page doesn't conclusively mean a purchase didn't go through, but back then I don't think either they or I clearly understood that.
"I had that interest when I've been younger, but not anymore."

Should be "I had that interest when I was younger, but not anymore."

I thought you might like the correction; forgive me if I'm wrong. In my experience, differences in the idiomatic use of verb tenses is one of the more difficult things about learning languages.

If you hear a native English speaker say, "I've been younger," then what they're saying is, "I'm old."
One of my coworkers told me a long time ago, it's better to increase your withholding allowances. That way the government is giving you an interest free loan.
> To give round numbers, the roundtrip latency is on the order of 100µs

I can't help but notice that, at least in my experience on Windows, this is the same order of magnitude as for inter-process communication on the local machine. Tangent: That latency was my nemesis as a Windows screen reader developer; the platform accessibility APIs weren't well designed to take it into account. Windows 11 finally has a good solution for this problem (yes, I helped implement that while I was at Microsoft).
As a Saudi I supposed I can comment on this.

The minimum of polite language is higher. Profanity can get you in trouble like getting a written warning, and graphic profanity can land you in handcuffs, like insulting someone's mother. Saying son of a bitch is a misdemeanor.

My experience in big corps is that the PDI is high but the power isn't so concerned with neutral formal phrasing. Phrasing in Saudi culture can be shockingly informal even at the highest level, since open tribal gatherings were the highest authority in the land until recently. The King and Princes still run open tribal gatherings where citizens can speak informally. Corporate speak is new and still seen as intrusive to how we do business.

How PDI would express itself would be preserving face, I guess. You can't contradict superiors or even coworkers too openly and directly, you can't openly disrespect or be irreverent. All possibly disruptive feedback must be private or you're bringing shame to yourself and others.

Startups are not like that at all. They're young, irreverent, and passionate. The young people really express themselves in those spaces with barely any hint of the old school social expectations. Guys and gals taking smoke breaks together and focusing on getting the job done.
Nope, people communicate like that internally as well, because "that's what's professional"

In some cases, you can fix this by asking the sender to be, like, normal. This works half the time, the other half involves referrals to HR...
Thank you for framing the point about sounding passive aggressive better than I was prepared to. :smile:

What is an example of a situation in which this is desirable:

> come close to outputting all possible numbers once before getting into re-runs

In a dice rolling game, you want as close to true random as your PRNG can get. In card drawing, you typically want EXACTLY all possible cards once before getting "repeats". Where do you want something in between?

Maybe they will fix the Magic Mouse similar to how the original iPad pencil was really weird in that to charge it (unless you had a power brick) was to connect it to the iPad's lightning port.

It could be that the next Magic Mouse revision could address that but I don't think that could really be counted upon. It would make sense though if that the Magic Mouse two or if there was a total revamp of their peripherals got rid of lightning ports and either could be wirelessly charged or charged by USB C

> Merryman hadn’t been serious about selling, he said, throwing out what he viewed as a high offer to get them to go away.

If he wasn't serious about selling, he should have said so and moved on. It seems smarmy to quote an offer price without a sincere intent to sell.
Crypto should indeed disappear down a wormhole to get deposited into the trash dimension.
The only way I've found is to invest in a religious practise, in my case zazen
Thanks Paul. Web development definitely has its downsides. It's been challenging to get everything to work well across Chrome/Firefox and Safari because there's annoying little differences in the way they handle mouse events for example (I might blog about this at some point).

The upside though is that with an app like this, anyone can start experimenting with music and sound design from their computer, without installing anything, and you can easily show your friends the things you created (or share ideas with internet strangers).

Conversely I think that's fine. There's no obligation to accept every PR as-is. Ultimately Bram volunteers to be responsible for supporting the project, so he can do whatever he wants.

I don't understand how this is the whole point of GitHub. I feel like GitHub has exacerbated misguided expectations that every contribution is worthy and that being rejected should feel bad.

Such a great response.
`std::is_constant_evaluated` seems bananas to me - looks like a great way to end up with almost untraceable bugs, where the same function may or may not have bugs depending on whether its evaluated at runtime or at compile time. Are there good ways to run unit tests against both const and non-const evaluations?!

But then again, most new C++ features seem bananas to me, so I wouldn't read into it.
Is it also sexist when women complain about being judged/mocked/disrespected for their weight?

The details are different for men and women but both can experience similar problems. Really the dividing line here isn't between men and women; it's between privileged and disadvantaged.

I guess it's called "body shaming" now, and it's one of the only remaining socially acceptable prejudices. There may not be a solution, but harassing people for talking about how painful it can be isn't helpful.
There is no difference in the sense that if you can root out the act of discrimination and prejudice here in this instance then you can root it out in other instances (racial discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination) because as others point out they all have the same cause: prejudicial biases based on immutable (and irrelevant to whatever is causing the bias) characteristics.

This is in essence why MLK said that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, because injustice is all the same.

We don’t fight racism just because we owe black people. We fight it because it’s fundamentally wrong, and not because black people just happened to have suffered a lot.
> What would stop an entity creating many other entities to sway voting outcomes?

A hard-coded initial entity set, along with a voting process for additions to and removals from that entity set.

In other words, a classic DAO design.
The obsession with the high variable rate on ibonds right now strikes me as weird.

With a fixed rate of 0% at the moment, the ibond is an "investment" which is guaranteed to lose real value because the 'gains' from the ibond are taxed so if the fixed rate is zero it will lose real value. It will also lose value due to systematic understatement of inflation e.g. due to the substitution correction-- but even if you believe that its inflation metric is fair the taxation makes it lose value.

Now-- if your investment plans direct you to hold something cash-like which ibonds withdraw delays are still good enough to satisfy, then okay sure, it does pay more than cash. But that's the right comparison. Ibonds are not, for example, a good alternative to buying a market index with a historical return of 10% after inflation.

I believe there are good movements to look at - VHEMT, Misanthropic division etc. While not all of it are real they may bring you some peace and appeasement. Frustration is a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs.
I think the person you're replying to was referring to the "clean hands doctrine". In common law, one of the Maxims of Equity--or principles by which courts try to rule--is that "he who comes into equity must come with clean hands."

An incredibly simplified overview of this doctrine is that a person cannot claim equitable relief (that is, win a civil suit on the basis of equity) in a situation where the person has also acted wrongly or unfaithfully. A common example is that a landlord may not pursue eviction of a tenant if the landlord has violated the tenant's rights.

The clean hands doctrine is very nebulous and since I'm not a lawyer I don't claim to know all of the twists and turns. In my reading, the doctrine does not mean someone must be "completely pure" in an area in order to prevail. Generally there has to be a relationship between the thing the person wishes to sue for or defend against and their own actions. So while Disney might be abusing copyright in other areas, the doctrine (probably?) would not stop them from claiming copyright privilege in unrelated suits, such as against someone selling derivative works.
There are use cases, where a hybrid system is the most useful path. These are usually cases, where the main product is a server-based service, and the apps are really fairly basic "skins" of the service.

But usability is always reduced, in cross-platform systems. I have been writing cross-platform stuff for decades. Usually, I wrote the Apple part, and another developer wrote the [usually] Windows part. We have tried things like Qt, which is acceptable, but not especially nice.

No matter how much people crow about how hybrid systems are "every bit as good" as native systems; they are wrong.

If you (and/or your users) care a lot about the Quality of the user experience, then native is the way to go. This is especially true, if there are unusual user interface concepts and widgets involved.

No matter how you write it, though, a released software product is a Responsibility. I liken it to having children. Making them is fun. Having them, is less fun. Once they are in your life, you are Responsible for them.
The investment is good and safe. I also bought I bonds and will buy more as I accrue cash. It’s not even really an investment as technically you make $0 in purchasing power. This is more of a UX and lack of emergency fund fail.
> I did not say everyone who pulls out their cannula is doing it intentionally.

That's not my objection.

I'm saying the folks who do it intentionally may not always be of sound mind. It's not uncommon for folks coming out of anesthesia to panic and be distressed, especially if they're intubated.
I periodically hum a verse of "We Didn't Start the Fire" when today feels crazy.

I lost my faith in humanity decades ago, but I'm still here, so I might as well do what I can and try to have fun. If you look around there are a lot of good things that happen and there are good people trying to execute good ideas. A lot of our problems are really communication problems so the trend towards more pervasive communication through technology may be our best hope, even though it comes with some discomfort (and some growing pains).

And compared to most humans that lived before us we can basically enjoy life on easy mode, so be thankful for the unique times we live in. If reincarnation is a thing I figure I must have done something spectacular in a previous life to be rewarded with this incarnation.

I may not have faith in humanity, but I do have faith in evolution. I see progress as driven by energy and our earth as a giant battery that humans found a way to tap. This discovery has led to great gains and placed us in the perch of privilege we now enjoy, but as the battery runs low we will certainly experience the harsh effects of deprivation. We will have to make changes in the way we live while the battery recharges, and before it is charged again we will have gone. But someone will come after us and the game of life will progress.
It's a mix of composing and plumbing. I wouldn't call it architecting unless there were enough degress of freedom that weren't locked down by earlier choices and designs are over quite coarse operations.

That sounds reasonable, but the requirements you've sketched out as the secondary role there require a top decile programmer.

The median level of skill and conscientiousness (particularly) is just so low.
What do you want to use it for? C++ uses it for the compile-time programming together with templates. Essentially C++ evolves into a language where you write a program that gets interpreted at compile-time to produce some code that then gets compiled. But I am not sure this is a good idea. It adds a lot of complexity, places many responsibilities that belongs into a compiler onto library writers, increases compilation time a lot, and - with all template expansion - causes a lot of bloat that hurts performance. It also makes debugging interesting. But it looks really good in microbenchmarks because you can create optimal code for special cases easily, I just do not see how this translates into real world performance.

> The Europeans were psychotic bastards who murdered and tortured and enslaved people, and who had absolute masters and abject servants, and all kinds of psychotic baggage. The native cultures were (and still are in many many places) not quite so messed up.

The natives never fought amongst themselves for resources or territory? No victorious tribes ever enslaved or murdered their defeated foes?

This whole idea of conflicts between ethnicity and tribes and nations, master-and-slave and hierarchical societies is just some weird European pathology that, like smallpox, was unknown in the Americas pre-1492?
