That’s not why we allow short selling. We allow short selling because it’s a reasonable way to allocate securities that makes people money sometimes while generally not hurting others. Our securities regulations are generally about allowing most transactions that aren’t done in an unfair way. It has nothing to do with creating incentive to investigate publicly traded companies. Investigations with huge payouts depending on their results aren’t unbiased and should never be taken as factual or helpful.
Maybe I’m reading you wrong but are you suggesting that publicly socialising reduces life expectancy? What about the mental health benefits?
Yes - that was the point of my comment. Homelessness is a national problem that manifests itself in the places that are trying to take care of people.
I actually wish there was an in-between model that supported key extraction.

Let me store my key in a secure, offline, physical device... and extract to clone it when my yubikey is worryingly old.

My threat model does not include physical attacks, but storage of a key on-device or in backups? Or forgetting a password for an encrypted archive? yep.
That's probably true for you. It's also true for many others that drug addiction causes these issues
> This is almost universally due to gang activity and not the kids picking up weapons from friends and family and shooting themselves or others.

This doesn't seem to be accurate. Research [1] looking at data from a few years back (before firearms became the leading cause of death for children in the US) found:

Firearm deaths in children were 53% homicide, 38% suicide, 6% unintentional.

Of homicides in older children (13-17) the leading circumstances were argument (40%), precipitated by another crime (31%), and gang related (21%.)

The other key difference is we can experimentally break the bridge during testing at almost no cost.
Yes, helio is the library that allows you to build c++ backends easily similar to Seastar. Unlike Seastar that is designed as futures and continuations library, helio uses fibers which I think simpler to use and reason about. I've wrote a few blog posts a while ago about fibers and Seastar: https://www.romange.com/2018/07/12/seastar-asynchronous-c-fr... one of them. You will see there a typical Seastar flow with continuations. I just do not like this style and I think C++ is not a good fit for it. Having said that, I do think Seastar is 5-star framework and the team behind it are all superstars. I learned about shared-nothing architecture from Seastar.

Re helio: You will find examples folder inside the projects with sample backends: echo_server and pingpong_server. Both are similar but the latter speaks RESP. I also implemented a toy midi-redis project https://github.com/romange/midi-redis which is also based on helio.

In fact dragonfly evolved from it.
Another interesting moment about Seastarr - I decided to adopt io_uring as my only polling API and Seastar did not use io_uring at that time.
Honestly, I think you should be protected from these companies against your will.
The above example was a purchase confirmation sent via email. Why couldn’t the device just read it out loud? That’s literally the one thing it’s good at, and I’m sure a blind person would appreciate it.

The reason they don’t is not a conspiracy. It’s because they never considered the needs of the disabled, as many do.
Extra points for a rare completely appropriate use of “begs the question.”
This makes total sense from an organizational POV, but a lot of developers do resume or CV focused development whether or not people admit it.
I am beyond livid that my kids have to use this Google classroom bullshit. I have zero doubts they are building profiles on our kids no matter what the lying liars at the top say.

I'm not sure why criticizing politicians who are weaponizing homeless populations against local residents to sway public opinion is lacking empathy. If anything, it's dignifying them as people who should not be used as pawns for a political agenda.

The profits being made from loot boxes targetting children are staggering and there are powerful well funded lobbyists working to keep it that way. For some context, FIFA the football governing made $766 million in 2021, EA FIFA Ultimate team (an egrerious example of loot box monetization) brought in $1.6b in 2021. Child gambling is very lucrative.
Ask HN: Devs laid off in previous downturns: How did you survive?
Plan for the worst, they say. While the tech sector seems more "recession-proof" than most other sectors these days, that conventional wisdom might not hold up if things get bad. So I'm wondering, if any devs here were laid off during the 2001 dot-com bubble or the 2008 housing crisis, if they could share what they did to recover.

I have fear that the cathartic pessimism we sometimes enjoy ironically is turning into a chronic fatalism. It's like a habit that has become an addiction. I think the author was in a discussion that started as a fun catharsis for all involved and then devolved into an addictive argument that the author felt they needed to win.

There is a cliché which goes: "Expect the best. Prepare for the worst". Articles like this only seem to get the second half of that while clearly violating the first half. A well balanced response to crisis is benefited by both.

I think the author is not actively aware of the importance of expecting the best, both of the world and of their colleagues. I feel their arguments are weak due to this imbalance.

> those whiteboard exercises would have me saying no thanks and ending the interview

Then I saved 45 minutes of my life, great. The point is, if you want to join the company I work for (and many people want to), you have to jump through the hoops of this company.

You should re-read the start of my comment, because I don't think those whiteboard questions are a great way to hire people. I just don't think there's a way that's more respectful of the candidate while being time efficient and providing good data points.

The truth is that the achievements that you claim can have been done by others. I'm in a top 1% company, and yet I see many people that are just utterly shit at being software engineers. There are parasites like this everywhere and they can just coast and claim the achievements of others for themselves (especially when applying to another company that has no way to verify their claims), so whiteboarding exercises and others crap is 100% necessary, no matter your level.
I was nodding along, but it occurs to me that most RPGs have a sanctioned money -> in game currency mechanic. As long as you can draw a line from being able to give the game money and use it for a gambling mechanic, there’s the potential for shady behavior. Developers will figure out where the line is and stay just on the other side of it.

I believe this language isn’t just thinking about games of today, but how games may change to get around this wording.

At least usually the golden horse armour lootboxes are slapped onto otherwise free games, so you're not paying $60 in order to buy a bunch of lootbox keys.

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask:

1) How many homeless people are interested in a productive life, with the work/sobriety expectations (and the housing/benefits) that implies?

2) How many of those are actively working towards this goal?

It sure seems to me that there are lots of people who want to live irresponsibly, and prey on our sympathy to facilitate that lifestyle.
The trouble with "Modern C++" is that nothing gets deleted from "Classic C++". Too much legacy code. They're trying to compete with Rust while remaining backwards compatible. That generates so many special cases that you need a 1300 page book. Learn to embrace the pain.

And yet converting code to Rust is hard. It is very tough to convert object-oriented C++ code to Rust. The models are too different.
That's the real question.

exactly. empathy is a wonderful thing to cultivate when designing solutions for obvious problems like homelessness and the community impact it has. But, the fact that homeless people are very real people does not change the fact that their encampments need to be dealt with and the communities around these encampments are suffering very real impacts.

Yeah, they are totally fine with gambling for sure. I was actually a bit surprised to see https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Slots near the top of "most watched games" when I was bored the other month and wanted to see what the popular games to watch were.

It's literally a bunch of whales flushing money down the drain on gambling while viewers watch it (vicarious thrills? not sure tbh as I'm not a gambler).
Great question! 1. We tried to build a platform covering end-to-end analytics scenarios with core services based on open-source, and Kafka is an essential block in such solutions. 2. Using them on the same platform eliminates things like traffic between accounts and traffic between AZs and solves security concerns. 3. We are also adding things that help integrate each of these blocks and help users to start using open-source technologies faster.

Tax loss harvesting is real, you just time when you take a loss to offset a gain. Then immediately reinvest. You haven’t lost any money in total, you can just claim the loss on your taxes (but will pay higher capital gains in the future).
The big difference there is that those points aren't redeemable for anything, can't be shared and aren't funded with real money.

There's exactly as much evidence for that as there is for any other mitigation, which is to say none because the CDC has spent approximately 0 dollars trying to study any of them seriously. We're all just guessing.

Just wondering about the line length. Would piping the OA through `fmt` not help readability?
I've been working in Venice Beach for the past 4 years. 2 blocks from that library.

Right across the street, someone camped on the empty lot at the intersection. They chose this spot because of the outlet that powered the christmas lights. Few days later, the whole thing caught on fire, including the tent. Few weeks later, the city cleaned it up and installed plants and a fence so no one could live there. Well, someone moved on the other side of the road and ran a daisy chained outlet that went over the intersection and into the plug... It also caught on fire.

I was there when the police came in the middle of covid and destroyed all the tents and kicked everyone out. It took a long time, but eventually someone installed a single tent by the library. Then someone else joined. Now there is an entire community that lives there.

Venice is the most confusing place in the world, it has million dollar homes with homeless people tents surrounding them. It's really hard to decide what is the right thing to do.

There was a man that slept right in front of the door of our building. Sometimes when I'm leaving work in a hurry, I'd stumble on him. I got used to it and didn't report him or anything. But then, he started pooping on the stairs. As terrible as that is, it's not my building. But, the owners have found a cruel and effective solution. They installed sprinklers on the stairs and in the parking lot.

These stories resonate with me because those are the people I see outside right now. When you struck a conversation, this is what you hear. Someone who has lived a whole life just to end up here. Young men that look like surfers living the life, they are stuck here. Young ladies wearing fancy clothe and make up, but live in a honda fit. You don't need a mental illness to be homeless here. You can't afford anything anyway.
What does it mean "it dies in Senate Committee"? What's the process here?

There's really no conspiracy, this is the cheapest thing to do. You kick people out of the parks, they just move around and you still have basically the same problem next week.

In order to permanently get people to leave you need to build semi-permanent camps. But these camps do need to be in somewhat desirable areas because the people in the camps need to live near where they can find work (many don't have cars.) You put them out in the boonies they're just going to come camp in the city because there's no jobs in the boonies and they are mostly normal people who want to find work and not have to camp in tents.

Obtaining land and permitting such camps is hard. The more expensive option is building permanent housing. The most expensive option is prison.

Just an anecdote, but I absolutely love the Twitch betting and it has massively increased my enjoyment of weekly Quake Pro League tournaments. Like most people I have zero interest in real money gambling, it's just imaginary internet points.

Alcohol is by far the most harmful drug in the world, and yet plenty legal. Twitch betting is hardly hard drugs to be denied everyone because some people have trouble controlling themselves.
Right... because it's so great to live in a park and have a drug problem. And to have people like you look down on you.
Unfortunately, the real world often gives us constraints that we can't change and we have to work around. We should absolutely use Rust or other "safer" languages where we can. But if we can't, for whatever reason, it makes sense to try to make the best of the hand we're dealt. That means regardless of what new developments are made in other languages, it's necessary to figure out how to use existing tools/languages like C++ safely.

Surgeons have primarily worn masks and other PPE to reduce the risk of bacterial infections in open wounds, and protect themselves against bodily fluids. Protecting against respiratory viruses is something quite different.

The mask mandates implemented in most places were always pointless pandemic theater. Only a properly fitted (i.e. tightly sealed with no facial hair) N95 or equivalent does much to block transmission of a highly contagious respiratory virus. It was never realistic to get the general public to do that.

This feels like an Internet story, because this bit suggests that even in 2022, there is a limit on how far retail can go without opening some stores:

--------------

And, most important, Glossier’s longstanding resistance to working with third-party retailers made it harder and harder for the brand to acquire new customers organically using just its social and online channels — a pinch that other direct-to-consumer brands are also feeling, Ms. Duggal said.

“The shift in the customer acquisition algorithm for paid social now makes it very hard to scale and find profitability,” she said, adding that selling through physical stores remains the biggest driver of sales across the board. Before the pandemic, 85 percent of beauty product purchases were made in physical stores, according to a 2020 McKinsey report. Even younger consumers were making the bulk of their purchases in store.
Employees are promoted based on their success until they are no longer competent
And yet, there is a labour shortage across the country. Also I'm not looking down on anyone, merely observing that given the options, many homeless people are in the only niche they can find in our society that will accomodate their lifestyle.
Not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure the burden is on the consumer in the USA to have their speedometer calibrated appropriately (10% error in the few states I've checked), and not doing so violates additional laws. Details could get complicated if you had proof that you did your part (OTA updates, can they prove you drove by a speed sign and should have known the speedometer was broken, ...), but you might be able to argue your innocence and might have a civil claim against one or more parties who touched your car.
I can see it's missing some important commands like WATCH, and maybe the WAL for high durability contexts.
> sounds like it's using the apt-get version of node which is usually out of date

It’s using the Nixpkgs version, which unfortunately depends on which nixpkgs channel you’re on. There’s a `nodejs_latest` attribute, which is actually latest (18.2.0 right now), as well as `nodejs-12_x` or somesuch for past major versions (where required by other nixpkgs packages). Plain `nodejs` should be the LTS version.

> This completely ignores the fact that my various projects requires specific versions of node

Nix allows you to pin either nixpkgs or a particular package with commit-level granularity. I’m not sure this sort of video is the right place to introduce that.
I've written services at startups that I know were in place 10+ years later. I'd be surprised if the majority of my code was still powering them, but never the less, when you solve a hard problem well - software has quite a bit of staying power. You see similar trends in the PostgreSQL code base where critical code pieces/structures date back to 1991 in some cases.

I'd doubt that a professional certification is needed for practitioners of software, but I could see merit in a certification body for software products. There are software products used in critical use cases, where the standard of practice for security, operations, or testing is insufficient for the desired use. As a client of such products, I might choose the "certified" version over the un-certified in a space where I don't believe feature velocity matters.

The problem with any of this would be making a compliance regime that didn't boil down to a boring ineffective process.

In Redis cluster the client needs to be connected to all shards and manage those connections. Multi-key operation on different slots are not supported etc... Maintaining a cluster is not a fun responsibility. DF saves you in most cases from the need to grow horizontly which should be much simpler to maintain and work with.
