> The language will allow conversions between string constants and byte sequences where the text is converted into the equivalent UTF8 byte representation. Specifically the compiler will allow string_constant_to_UTF8_byte_representation_conversion - implicit conversions from string constants to byte[], Span<byte>, and ReadOnlySpan<byte>. A new bullet point will be added to the implicit conversions §10.2 section. This conversion is not a standard conversion §10.4.

byte[] array = "hello"; // new byte[] { 0x68, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f }
Span<byte> span = "dog"; // new byte[] { 0x64, 0x6f, 0x67 }
ReadOnlySpan<byte> span = "cat"; // new byte[] { 0x63, 0x61, 0x74 }

> When the input text for the conversion is a malformed UTF16 string then the language will emit an error:

const string text = "hello \uD801\uD802";
byte[] bytes = text; // Error: the input string is not valid UTF16
What do you think the distinction between market making and trading is?

Also, yes market makers can get left with bad positions if the market moves against them, but when I was in the industry operational failures were the much more troubling issues.
Anecdotal fear inducing internet story.

Statistically 'in real life' extremely rare for this to happen.
Sometimes people are right and companies have to go back having wasted millions on crap and hindering progress because they had to copy bad ideas from others seeing only the money that is being made as a result of marketing and not features or usability.

Some examples: Apple's touchbar ESC key or the super low profile non-replacable keyboard, vehicles that switches to touch screen and capacitive button interfaces for critical controls resulting in less safe driving experience, Apple's iPhone "your holding it wrong" decorative metal frame, Apple's refusal to add NFC or wireless charging for years because of the metal back, there are hundreds more.

Why do you cite "net power generation capacity" when you care about use?

Actual generation:

gas use / CO2 emissions may actually be lower than electricity
generation implies if more modern plants are installed.
For which there is some evidence [1] that you are less likely to be involved in an accident doe to external causes when not wearing a helmet than when wearing one - in essence the same effect that helmet wearing has on the cyclist (taking greater risks) it also has on drivers passing cyclists.

[1] https://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/1365/is-it-safer-to-wear-...
They justify their decision basically saying that helmets increase the driver's (and the people in its surroundings) willingness to take risks, while mentioning that their training system is so good that it minimizes risks, so drivers won't be in danger because of the lack of helmets.

It's funny that could assume a totally different posture here: if helmets increase risks, we will use our great training system to make sure our drivers won't put themselves in dangerous situations even when wearing helmets. That would reduce dangerous driving and keep drivers' heads safer, instead of just reducing dangerous driving (which allegedly is the reason behind this decision).

It's hypocritical of you to not be wearing full body chain mail to protect yourself from bullets and stabbings.

There's more gunshots and stabbings than people injuring their head on bicycles.

Passengers could always bring their own helmets if they feel they're safer wearing one.

I'd love to open the windows in summer nights. Unfortunately anti-social people love to ride reaaaally loud motorbikes in the middle of the night.
Always fun to see Dream Theater brough up outside of fan forums, they’ve been my favorite band for over 20 years.

A Change of Seasons is one of the greatest compositions of all time, in my opinion.

Breaking All Illusions is another track that just gives “that feeling” though it’s a bit “musically dense” so it might take a few listens to really digest it for some.

Disappear and The Spirit Carries On are also the only songs that have ever made me cry like a baby.

Cities/specialization is a luxury. The trade off is relationship to reality. People who build tangible things with their hands are relatively more grounded in reality.

When you pull the elephant's trunk, either the light comes on, or it doesn't. There is little room for delusion.

The more people who can and do use an "app for that" in their daily lives, and are hours away from whatever they need/want, the fewer tradesman there likely will be.

The pendulum swinging back in the direction of builders is when all the specialists have to bid against each other, exchanging an acceptable medium of exchange, for the tradesman's services, as they can do little themselves.

The more densely populated the area, the more likely it will seem there are a shortage of carpenters, or other tradesman, and in the more rural, free, and independent , areas, the less the need for carpenters, as there are fewer specialists, and more capable, "Jack of all trades", types.
Organizing my iPhone's photo library. It's mostly memes & inspirational quotes, and a bit of art I have gathered, plus some personal stuff. There are also many screenshots of interesting stuff I discovered when scrolling. Cherry picking and organizing all that takes a lot of time, but I do it anyway since I don't know of any software that could automate it.
This was just going back to the earlier phase-out decision by the red/green government. The Merkel decision to slow down the phase-out was highly controversial and would have seen mass protests. Then the Fukushima-accident (where a single earthquake was enough to take out the whole nuclear industry of an advanced industrial country) happened and the decision was reversed, again.
One of my Netflix bad habits is fast forwarding through predictable scenes. A lot of their series appear to be padded out to make up a series instead of a long feature film, and as a result I find myself fast forwarding through at least 50% of a series. Time wise I am watching it all, however, engagement is self evidently lowrr
I cycle 10,000km+ a year in London, so I think I have a better idea about this than the vast majority of HN commenters. I generally wear a helmet, but encouraging and definitely enforcing helmet use is the least effective thing we can do to protect people [0].

Yeah, my dad almost died like that. On a separated bike path in very good condition, he would have only been going about 30 km/h given where it was (he can't actually remember what happened due to TBI but managed to make a full recovery after four months of hospital and rehab). Comparing the size of the foam on the impact side of the helmet vs. the other side was amazing, it was squashed to a fraction of the size. If that had been skull straight onto the concrete it would have been lights out pretty much instantly.

Thank you to share these experiences. Real question: You wrote: <<Drinking on the job is also well tolerated.>> Is this "having fun" drinking or "reduce the pain" drinking? Either way, I can see how alcohol could increase risk on a construction site.
Michael Schumacher would disagree.
I remember when I read The Little Schemer, the parts I had no trouble with were the ones I’d already had a decent grasp on. The last few chapters I could only scan, with little in the way of comprehension, and the style was not an insignificant part of the reason.

I don’t know if I’d have an easier time with those parts now, but I suspect a lot of readers completely unfamiliar with concepts like recursion would get little out of the book.
I'm not sure I buy that - Humans can create meaning out of everything - You do not need children for that (there are some that spend years meditating in literal caves and claims that their life is also full of meaning).

So given that we can have two persons with life full of meaning, one of which is feeling down most of the time, and both of them somehow selected this life for themselves - its not quite hard to point at not having children as a better way of life. I speak of course from the point of view of me/solicity - others should have as many children as it is required to keep my precious useless stuff mass produced overseas to keep numbing consumptionism continuing until nothingness takes me back.
Yes, and it specifies whether they are apprentice, journeyman, master, as well as other skills (e.g. rated for welding high pressure lines).

The world in which the majority of citizens is financially literate does not exist, and "crypto" is not going to magically fix it.

We're talking about mass market adoption. Most people (by which I mean not-HN) weren't using acoustic-coupled modems over device-specific ports to dial into BBSs over long distance lines.

Computer control of modems using standardized Hayes(+) command sets over RS-232 serial ports (1981), the Bell breakup (1984) and subsequent competition, and increased modem manufacturer competition breaking price-per-baud standards and increasing affordability (~1988) were required enablers to take it mass market.

It took until the early 90s that you could (a) buy a PC at a reasonable price, (b) buy a modem at a reasonable price (that was guaranteed to work with your PC), (c) dial into an ISP's local number... from anywhere in the US.

Yes, some people lived in NYC, Chicago, SF, etc. and had access to knowledge and BBS infrastructure at local rates earlier than that, but most people didn't.
Which they mentioned in the article:

“A major cause of head injuries is going over the handlebars, which is not possible with a 3 metre long bike.

Helmets protect against falls. They don't protect against cars.
Can you replace any existing usb c ports with this? I have a planck that I would really like to make wireless but a quick search around google doesn't show anyone building one with it.
> If a cyclist have a helmet he and everyone around him behaves dumber. This was researched.

This seems like an extraordinary claim, given that safety systems in all other places have no such effects (or at least, not as significant). I would very much like to see this research, and even then I would be very wary of it.

Either way, it's irrelevant given the levels of training that they are claiming they demand of their drivers. Given those claims, it's obvious that they helmets + training would be safer than just the training, if the training is good enough to protect the drivers at all.
As a biker who understands marginal thinking, 8.5 cm could absolutely be significant from a safety perspective.

The study is disputed by one researcher, the paper I linked contains a rebuttal and I think it is convincing.
Yes, there is essentially no downside.

I do it; on Aave you can deposit USDC and borrow USDT against it, earning an interest on USDC and paying interest on the USDT. It currently costs me about 3 APR to short Tether. What's nice is that you can iterate the strategy, e.g. deposit 1000 USDC, borrow 950 USDT, swap this USDT for USDC, deposit the USDC, borrow more USDT...

https://app.aave.com/ offers "E-mode", which lets you borrow stablecoins worth up to 99 % of the stablecoins you deposited.
We can downgrade from OSHA to class action lawyers with this kind of thinking. Seriously why not require helmets and hire for safety, too?
Fair enough, and that may not be the only machine for all I know, but what I meant was that in general Apple tends to go for 16:10 which I love.
You don't on chains such as Polygon, Fantom, etc etc etc. Really only Ethereum is very expensive; you don't have to use it.
One example was QuarkXpress vs InDesign. One was based on traditional ways of working, and brought a paradigm shift towards true digital publishing concepts.

Not sure what you could do in one and not the other, but you sure had a lot of cranky greybeards when their shops had to switch, because they had to learn new ways of thinking.

You’d also run into the same situation if you had a young whipper-snapper go into a QuarkXpress shop.
I don't agree it's a good indication of competence; leetcode skills are almost orthogonal to the skills required in general programming.

It might be different if you're being hired to develop a new video codec, or distributed consensus algorithm or whatever, but for the typical large web property or enterprise database, leetcode is all but irrelevant.

Code cleanliness, code communication, defensive programming, properly considering edge cases etc, flexibility, API UI design, and how other people interface to your code, etc, etc, all these things matter far more than advanced algorithms, which will rarely be required.
The classic answer is storage and on-demand production. Massive pumped storage is one partial solution the solar energy but I think the environmental impact is great enough that it would prevent it from ever being implemented in the United States.
Helmets protect against falls. They don't protect against cars.

Came here to say this. For me I have to coax creativity and serendipity, it doesn't happen naturally. Action precedes motivation.
They criticise the comment: "This is not worded correctly.", by saying that "Comments like this are unhelpful… ", which is true.

However, I don't think that even their example of an "actionable" comment ("suggestion: This is not worded correctly. Can we change this to match the wording of the marketing page?") is actually a "good" comment, because whilst it is slightly more specific it still doesn't say what the wording on the marketing page actually is.

It would be better to write: "Can we change 'X' to 'Y' to match the wording of the marketing page?".
While this is true, one must not think of this and forget that one can dislike something new for other reasons than it being new…

I dislike shopping carts simply because they look bad and I have no need for them, though I understand they’re useful or even neccessary for some.

There is a HUGE difference between NOT REQUIRING helmets and PROHIBITING helmets.
To me, that seems like a clear difference in infrastructure. If a biker shares a stretch of asphalt with a car, that's a risk for the biker and they need a helmet. In the Netherlands, this is widely understood and bikes get their own infrastructure everywhere. Only then you don't need helmets anymore at all.
This is a common thing in the Metalcore scene at least around 2005 - 2010. All That Remains, Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, etc. It's still pretty common though. Very heavy music followed by super melodic choruses. Some songs even feature acoustic bridges and instrumentals. The contrast between verse and chorus really pays off the listener.
I don't even get the idea of "moving" messengers.

Using several messengers is what enables competition between them in the first place. It's great for the ecosystem. All messages end up in my notification bar anyway, irrespective of the underlying app.

In my German peer group almost everyone is on Signal as well as WhatsApp. (... and Telegram, for that matter.)

Nobody "moved".
> I'm sorry, and pardonner mou Français, but what in the actual fuck?

Do you wear a helmet when you drive inside your car? If not, why not? It might make you much safer in case of a crash, according to your reasoning.

Wearing a helmet can itself become a leading factor to cause an incident, and it's clearly what they are hinting at in the linked article: that data seems to indicate that riders wearing helmets may be getting more incidents on average. Then it's a simple equation: number of incidents x gravity of the incident in both A/B scenarios, and compare which one is the most favorable. It's not a question you answer with a "what the actual fuck" kind of reasoning.
> I feel like it's going to be more severe if I don't have a helmet on.

Without the helmet you die on the road. With the helmet you die at the hospital.

See my sibling comment. You can do a permissionless short on Tether on the blockchain for a varying interest rate difference between USDC and USDT. I've been paying approx 2 % a year for the last year now.

The "elderly, women, and residents of lower-income countries" is about 80% of humanity.
I think it’s common. A large and well managed company usually doesn’t want to pay someone a lot more than someone else without any reason, so they have internal rules.

For example they will pay more someone with a master degree than someone with a bachelor degree. And they want proofs of your degrees because sometimes people lie.

The rules may be stupid and you may think they are unnecessary, but it’s not a red flag IMHO.
I personally still prefer a shopping basket to a shopping cart, it “allows” me to buy less stuff, so less money spent. It’s also nice that with less stuff bought you can take the tram or even take a walk on your way home afterwards, no need for a car-ride.
As long as they see me I don't worry. They might do stupid stuff like honk at me or pass with small distance, but it's unlikely they'll kill me.

The thing I'm afraid of is a car hitting me at high speed cause they didn't see me, that would probably kill me.
This - create a negative pressure space inside the house. Then open other windows throughout the house to equalize that pressure. By pushing air out one window, you’re effectively creating a breeze from many windows. It’s also easier to push a large volume of air out of a window than to try and pull a large volume of air from outside a window.
Thanks for saying so. I'd say the writeup is more informative than the Science Friday piece, honestly.

There are a few good modern reports about using his kind of idea for making ammonia and hydrogen, but nothing too serious is going on outside of Russia and China on this topic.

[1] https://www.lucidcatalyst.com/hydrogen-report

Most of the people talking about it in advanced reactor space are using very low readiness reactors rather than PWRs, which led me to make this extremely fringe starwars prequel meme: [2].

[2] https://i.imgur.com/bDaVjRY.png

The Koreans have the PWRs and the ship industry in place, they'd be the best to make this happen again. But so far they've just done a few small MOUs here and there. Again, nothing too serious is happening from what I can tell. I'd be happy to be wrong.
I see at least one or two of them every time I commute across London, they seem predominantly used for transporting items rather than people.
Not a terrible heuristic, but it could just as well be simply crappy reporting, which is common, especially in the sciences.

They do at least link to the original paper, but unfortunately it's not yet in sci hub and the abstract contains none of those details.
I am unsure what news you are reading but when the war started there was news about switching Uranium imports away from Russia here in Sweden. I would hope that has now occurred, through as mentioned in the article, nuclear refueling occurs once every 12-18 months so who knows if that has yet to become a practical matter. The company that seems to produce most of the fuel that Sweden use is called Westinghouse Electric Company, with headquarters in Pittsburgh, and about 20% of the raw uranium that they processed before the war came from Russian.

The biggest exporter of Uranium to Europe is Niger. We also have Kazakstan, Canada, Australia, and then a bunch of smaller ones. Being close geographical isn't a major benefit for Uranium imports. Blocking Russian Uranium imports should already been done, and if its not, should be made into policy. Since it only is a small portion of the overall imports the effect should be very minor.

I would expect that the American company, by the fact of being American, are already required to follow sanctions related to Russia.
I agree. Though slightly off topic, Forensic Files was pretty biased. The educational aspect mostly makes up for it, but they make forensic science appear way more rock solid than it was back at the time. Many of the crimes featured were solved because the perpetrator was so incompetent. But every episode had to end with something along the lines of "this would have been the perfect crime if not for the science!"

Would be nice to have a show like that again with a similar format but eased back on the law enforcement propaganda.
