Actually, it's not.

It's been tried in all sorts of endeavors and eventually falls apart.

Back in the day, there was a motorcycle series "Formula USA", with rules essentially "must have 2 wheels, no alcohol", and it was all well and good with folks running their hand crafted, bored out Superbikes until Kenny Roberts showed up with a pair of factory Yamaha Moto GP 500cc two stroke machines (which is, essentially, "unobtainium"), and, in time, dominated the field. Things like that lead to rule changes in F-USA.

Also, consider the origin of modern MMA. The "Ultimate Fighter Championship", which was a "no rules" bout. Royce Gracie dominated those events early on.

I will never forget UFC 4. Dan Severn, a very powerful wrestler, was dominating his bouts (3 as I recall). His fights were over very quickly.

Meanwhile, Royce, who was a skilled grappler, while winning his bouts, they were taking quite a bit of time.

At the end, Royce had just finished his 3rd bout and then had to stand up to Severn, with very minimal rest. Combining Severn's fast bouts, with Royce long bouts gave Severn a lot of time to rest and recover between fights. Royce was obviously quite tired going in to the final round.

Severn dominated that fight, but it drew on...and on...and on. Over 15 minutes.

In the end, Gracie prevailed, upside down, pinned against the fence, with Severn bent over him. It was an extraordinary encounter.

But in the end, it led to rule changes. 15m fights don't really work with the broadcast schedule. Seeing two guys tangled in knots for 10m straight with minimal movement isn't very interesting to watch, either. And now we have modern MMA with combined striker and grappling skills.

Turns out competition is only fun when it's fair. While its technically interesting to see folks exploit the rules, and even dominate, it's more interesting when they have to work within them.

In the end, you (most folks, I know I do) want the man behind the wheel to be the deciding factor, not the machine beneath him.
I was surprised that I got feedback from my recruiter a few weeks ago when I finished an on-site at Google. To be honest I think she was only fine with providing feedback if we were on a call, since there's no paper trail.
The problem is the ones wanting to increase the housing supply are for-profit investors, and affordable housing shouldn’t be about profit. That’s my takeaway of this deadlock. Perhaps the government should directly build housing, or subsidize the cost and have it be owned and operated by the city.

You're kinda ignoring the middle ground there? Intentionally maybe? Libraries written in 2008 and still maintained have long since moved to C++11 or C++14 or newer. The baseline is easily a post-C++11, which was a huge turning point.

> C++ will always pick the wrong defaults

Oh definitely. Bad defaults are probably my only remaining complaint with modern C++.
I was specifically curious about the evidence that bacon/meats are that bad for you, any source for that?
Don't know your situation beyond what you've disclosed here, but this may not be PTED, just borderline/histrionic personality disorder. You say she's smart, so Narcissistic might be in scope as well (though I find former-school-bully-types are most often the ones who lean that way). Whatever the "diagnosis," reading up on dealing with the behaviors of these types might be of some help to you.

> She just emailed me today saying she sent over a hundred bucks to some random political organization in my home country, which is invariably part of some convoluted scheme.

Doubtless. You might want to look into this "random" organization and make sure she didn't sign your name to it to get you on the public donor list for your local chapter of NAMBLA. These types love to mislead and/or lie by omission. Even if this organization is legit, you're looking where she wants you to look, so it may still be a red herring.

> She's smart, and there's never quite enough evidence for a restraining order or similar legal channels (and she's a much better communicator than I am; everyone believes her).

Your reputation is clearly under assault-- if you haven't already, put a Google alert out on your name to pick up on any developments in the future. She seems the type to know better than to publish anything defamatory herself, hence my above speculation (such action would make you appear to defame yourself).

For what it's worth, after the successes of #MeToo it didn't take long for the opportunists to undermine the credibility of all women. The world is losing patience for its Amber Heards.

All of the items you listed as a positive, every single one, are not only possible but mundane for a lot of people that live in proper urban spaces.

None of the negative things you mentioned about city life are "transcendental". They might be common in USA cities, but these qualities are far from universal.

IOW, if your baseline is a shitty city, of course the suburbs are going to seem like a good deal. But have you ever considered what life in a good urban space might be like?

> claim your preferences are objectively better than anyone else.

No. What I am saying is that your basis of comparison is very limited and that you were robbed of the opportunity to experience something better. To make an analogy, you want to engage in a "Budweiser vs Miller Lite" argument, while anyone that had the chance to try "proper" beer will tell you that such an argument is pointless.

To repeat: the argument in the beginning was about "taking the beauty away and selling it back as a luxury" in relation to suburbs vs big cities and "having to pay for nice things". My comment was not against "suburbs" as a matter of preference, but merely to point out the historical, FACTUALLY BAD post-WW2 urban development in North America which destroyed its cities and gave people no other choice but suburban sprawl.

Just throwing out as a thought, but as an alternative you could spend a minute putting it for sale online where someone would come pick it up, or even just put it up for free so someone that may need it more can get it. It can be a very quick process, especially with smaller things like that. You might even be able to just throw it on the porch when they say they’re coming.
Apple makes 100% of the OS options available to iDevices, and 100% of all devices that run iOS.

They also control 100% of the OSes that run iOS applications, and allow iOS purchases to be redeemed.

That sounds a lot like a monopoly to me.

The BCP is kind of a joke, they do these enforcements usually when a practice is widespread, it's like when they pull over one car on the highway and the rest slow down.

The GOP commissioners do not believe in the mission, and obstruct it, so you have the same issues with enforcement you saw play out on the SC recently -- GOP presidents stack the org with people who aim to destroy it.

Then to add insult to injury, they require you to have a JD (which entails not be able to operate a computer apparently, or when you do, needing to have 1 pagers on encryption from the 90s rewritten every two weeks to two years), and when they do hire anything remotely related to the liberal arts, they label them as "economists" and don't allow anyone who actually believes in sound economics in -- only Austrian bull crap, the usual Keyes neoliberlism, or, at best neoliberalish "behavioral economists" who rediscover concepts I learned in my cognitive psyc class in undergrad that date back decades.

(Dark patterns being a classic example -- we're gonna discover the lies that were explained in Consumer Reports for Kids in the 1990s at an exploratory workshop in 2020s? Stuff like that is why more and more people are leaving America permanently.)
Seems a bit odd to stop at SWAR on today's systems.

Every system I'm aware of has 128-bit SIMD implemented: either SSE (x86), NEON (ARM), or AltiVec (POWERPC). As such, 128-bit SIMD is the "reliably portable" SIMD operation.

Of course, for fastest speeds, you need to go to the largest SIMD-register size for your platform: 512-bit for some Intel processors, rumored AMD Zen4 and Centaur chips. 256-bit for most Intel / AMD Zen3 chips. 128-bit for Apple ARMs, 512-bit for Fujitsu A64 ARMs, etc. etc.

> And these are the fastest kinds of instructions :-)

And it should be noted that modern SIMD instructions execute at one-per-clock-tick. So the 64-bit instructions certainly are fast, but the SIMD instructions tie if you're using simple XOR or comparison operations.

--------

This style of code might even be "reliably auto-vectorizable" on GCC and CLANG actually. I wonder if I could get portable auto-vectorizing C from these examples.

And the ones that do get built are promoting “luxury living” when people just want “basic living”. None of the new construction is no-frills apartments, they’re all glitz and glam with stupid high rents - 2br is about 5K in some of these places. That’s ridiculously high. There’s even an apartment complex that advertises a redwood grove in the center - that’s just extra cost that could have been saved and passed on to the renters.
That sounds like nothing more than a very straightforward description of conservatism.
Actually, a lot of the people new to DevOps who come from the Dev side don't know the Linux internals. All they know is TF/CF, k8s, Docker and either AWS or GCP. If you asked them to set up a raid array they'd look at you like you just grew a second head. If you asked them how to tell what modules the kernel was running, they wouldn't be able to find out without a lot of googling.

The fact that DevOps does encompass a lot of fundamental Linux system knowledge is glossed over by a lot of people. Then again, some of them don't know any other way to package and deploy software except in containers.
Everything doesn't get recorded though so, no.
I've also gotten positive feedback for clearly stating what I know and what I don't know. I'm using a „skill meter” to distinguish between „I'm an expert in this language“ and „I've used this a couple of years ago“.

I got a job offer from a company whose main language is Go and I didn't even know the basics. A good software engineer can pick up any reasonable language in a reasonable amount of time [1].

I usually ignore recruiters who don't contact me via InMail. If they convey that they actually took a look at my profile, I'll reply.

I've had a very good experience with the three EU companies that I've been interviewing with this year. One had a take-home assignment that was reasonably scoped for 2-4h and well thought. The others asked some basics and some architechture / design / business understanding related questions. No leetcode or whiteboard coding. Open communication + quick feedback.

Was I just lucky in that regard or are there a lot of companies with a sane interview process out there, but some HN readers prefer to apply at those who don't?

Ask HN: Are there alternative TLDs in the spirit of .dev?
Hypothetical: some software dev wants to pick a domain for their professional web presence, but this dev finds Google's stewardship of th .dev tld distasteful.

Are there alternatives which communicate something similar, but are managed by more neutral entities? Or I suppose just different entities representing different values.
Americans need to start realizing that a 100 year old building isn't historical; it's just old and may have outlasted it's useful life. That said, we also need to start modeling our cities based on the success we see outside America, because you're right, a lot of the new projects are much worse.

> I think the observation they're trying to convey is that your expected number of years remaining goes down by much less than one year per year at those ages.

But this is a necessary fact about everything. The alternative would be that the expected complete lifespan of an 81-year-old would be less than the expected complete lifespan of an 80-year-old, and that forms a logical contradiction with the fact that, in order to achieve that longer lifespan, the 80-year-old must become an 81-year-old.

Extremely dangerous might be a bit much. I ride the subway a fair amount. And there's been an uptick in crime (all over the US), but I wouldn't really call the subway dangerous.

NYC houses something like 95% of its homeless as well, which is why we have a lot less people on the streets than in places like LA or SF.

But shelter conditions are pretty miserable as I understand it so you can sort of understand the hold outs.

And we may just not have enough space. But yea, NYC's a big city, there's definitely some homeless, but I'm not sure my lived experience here is as dire as you make it sound.

That being said, some areas are certainly worse than others, and there's definitely some aggressive mentally ill people you'll see here and there.
the comment seemed relevant enough to me.
I'm going to reply twice, because I'm a true believer (TM).

Another set of advantages comes from how declarative Angular is. With React and JSX, everything is super imperative (setState, loops to generate dom, etc). In Angular, RxJS gives you a really powerful reactive model for your state, directives give you a much more declarative way of describing application behavior, and the limited template microsyntax encourages you to put the complexity in your typescript, not in templates.
Wow. I wasn't expecting anything like a filesystem monitor in git(1) itself.

They post says Jeff Hostetler, the author of the patches, will make a blog post delving into it. So it's worth bookmarking that post and swinging back. It's bound to be an interesting one!

Apparently git 2.16 had a fsmonitor hook for external filewatcher like watchman (it got passed me): https://github.com/git/git/commit/def4376711f607914bfb784f8d...

This kind of change needs to be tailored to the platform, it says just Mac (FSEvents?) and Windows (ReadDirectoryChangesW?) for now. So can we expect Linux (inotify?) and BSD (kqueue*) in the future?

Anyway, I hope this venture is fruitful. The premise of having cross-platform file watching without needing an extra application is delightful.

Thank you Jeff!

* I believe one area that may be tricky is kqueue, I believe it has limits in watching directories, needing a file descriptor for each file.

P.S. I would like to drop a link to entr(1), a lightweight cross platform file watcher: https://eradman.com/entrproject/

That's no longer true in my part of the world. In the supermarkets I frequent, I'm pretty sure that well over 2/3 of revenue is self-scanned.

Change often takes multiple decades. That doesn't mean it's not happening.

As a community organizer, I talk to a lot of people - nobody said that their management is forcing anything yet. My own experience is that management doesn't care in most situations, as long as the work gets done. And it does right now.

Reading online about it, I feel like most of the people who complain about this problem are in the USA, and that there's some kind of struggle between employees and their managers. Never felt this in my career so far, so can't really relate...

> you cant go no carb

This is incorrect information. You can go, and live on literally zero grams of carbohydrates, though in reality there is always trace amounts in meat and vegetables. My optimal diet is around 5g of carbs per day. Unlike fats and proteins, there is no minimum level of dietary carbohydrates required to function.

The little amount the body requires can produce thanks to gluconeogenesis, and the vast majority of the energy is provided first by ketones then by free fatty acids after adaptation.
> If the expected number of remaining years at age N was Y, death removed all the people that actually lived only 1 year or less, so the expected number of remaining years for people of age N+1 must be greater than Y.

No, that is neither necessary nor true. It must be greater than Y-1, not Y. Your way would mean that the expected duration of a life was infinite.

"Considered Harmful" Essays Considered Harmful - https://meyerweb.com/eric/comment/chech.html // https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9744916 (from 2015, other posts didn't gain much traction)
Crazy suggestion: Bar politicians from owning property or having any income (including gifts of goods or services) apart from the stipend for their appointed position. For life. Everything owned beforehand has to be given away as a condition of holding political office. They can retain a small allotment of personal items officially owned by the government but left in their care for their own personal use. No stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or any other investments. A pension for retirement is included, of course, provided they manage to avoid being convicted of any malfeasance during their tenure.

See how many career politicians you get under those conditions.

The team did indeed find that flu vaccines reduced the risk of Alzheimers. But he specifically doesn't say they know why the flu vaccine lowers the risk. Ie. They can't claim causation if they don't understand the underlying reason for the change. That's not how science works.

In fact in the article in question he says the opposite: That the immune system is vastly complex, and all they can say is the immune system reacts to flu vaccines (all flu, not just a specific one) by diminishing an Alzheimers response. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ More study needed plz.
I wonder why this data can't just be stored locally on the device? Unless you want to share it with other devices you own, it should be trivial to do so. Perhaps Apple and Google with their walled gardens can enact a data privacy and storage requirement for apps? Any personal data that is being collected should remain local to the app in encrypted storage. Furthermore it should be able to be viewable by the end-user and also deleted at anytime. Remote access to this data should also be limited if not prohibited.
