When I first learned C, it was K&R, pre-ANSI with old style function parameters. It is trivial to convert to ANSI C. The truth is C has barely changed in decades.

I first tried writing my MSc theses as a set of AsciiDoc(tor) files. I really enjoyed how much more flexibility AsciiDoc gave me over MD so I was pretty set on it. I _really_ hated the equations it generated and AsciiDoc isn't a Pandoc source, sadly. Even worse, the tooling was monstrous. I had entire build scripts that were getting more and more convoluted.

I relented and went to LaTeX, and while the limitations mentioned here resonate with me, I've found it totally doable.
No, or at least not in a field. From the field axioms you can directly proof that 0x=(a-a)x = ax - ax =0, and therefore 0 doesn't have a well defined inverse. You can look at other algebraic structure, but those behave less like numbers.
Hello tremon,

I am the PM working on Azure Functions Deployments. Thank you for sharing your experience. We are currently investing in improving our deployment flows via Azure DevOps and this is a known issue. There are two aspects here - one is to address the not so optimal user experience that sets an incorrect expectation of "success" and second to actually provide more visibility into errors that cause deployment failures. I have prioritized the former to go out as part of the next DevOps release and will be happy to help you with the latter if you can create a support ticket with more details so we can investigate further. Please feel free to email me with any additional feedback on sokulkar at microsoft.com. Again thank you for your valuable feedback and usage of Azure Functions.
Yes, this getting used in offices or public transport and the air there getting even drier sounds extremely scary and horrifying to me. With a humidity under 40% I feel pain and under 30% I develop severe inflammation in my whole pharynx and become unable to function from pain.
I know extroverts who love their commute. They call colleagues and get stuff done while traveling. Its working, IMO.
6. Annoying people on board. I simply don’t take the train anymore in France, there are 76 onboard thefts a day declared in Marseilles only, they are loud, they are not disrespectful but downright playing with the first one who complains, and most importantly, they have the controller siding with them.

All of this because the CAF gives them fares for almost-nothing, which is affordable when you have drug money.

No to free fares.
I think preselection is the best indicator for success with women. Women are attracted to men who have already attracted other women. So it's best to pose with other female friends.
Yet another impractical vaporware passion project with no use-case/demand.

One is left with a feeling, however, that they are missing out on a free money party if this is an example of the level of thinking that is being encouraged. Maybe we should be spitballing ideas to Saudi royalty too.
I had to laugh at the title. Imaginary numbers may be real, but they're also outside the set of real numbers ℝ.
It’s perfectly reasonable to keep money you’ll need in the next 10 years in a slightly risky investment (like 60 bonds/40 stocks) even if you couldn’t afford to lose 100% of it.

It’s more sensible than keeping it in cash for that long. Money in risk-free liquid form is guaranteed to lose to inflation.
Pretty much all of those cities are high-cost-of-living. If you have the ability to work fully remote, why wouldn't you pick somewhere significantly cheaper, but had decent schools, good transportation links, and nice weather?
For roads, it depends on the country. For example in France you have to pay toll money to use most interstates
Depends on why you drink. If you're doing it because you have social anxiety for example, CBT therapy / exposure therapy is the real solution to avoid dependence on alcohol. If you're drinking to cope with negative emotions, again CBT, mindfulness, making yourself busier, social connections, exercise, medicine.

For simple 'relaxation' I am significantly more relaxed sober than I ever was when drinking. The day after a binge spiked my anxiety sky high, and even when drinking I was always preoccupied with the next drink.
I don't think Publii is aimed at people who know what git is. Those people already have lots of great options.

>I have no sympathy for these people.

A lot of everyday Joe's and Jane's put money into crypto. The amount of hype from crypto was pretty strong, including some governments adopting it.

You should have some sympathy for those people.
It's exactly the same as the government not paying for cars.

The UK recently privatised it's post office, there's lots of competition in its postal market (thank goodness).

The UK railways where private before 1948, then nationalised, it didn't work out well. Then privatised 40 or so years later because the government couldn't afford the investment required.

Are you in favour of nationalised air travel? UK tried that too and it was terrible. Exactly the same for telecoms. I'm just glad we don't have a nationalised food supply.
But as a contractor you'll get about half the TC of what a full time employee would get for the same amount of work. And there isn't as much leverage as you imply, because there's the non trivial cost of getting new clients.
I think it's a stretch to say that most people hate every single person working in those industries.

We don't hate the tellers, we hate the people running the banks and fucking around with our money. We don't shit on Amazon warehouse employees, we shit on the people making their lives hell. In a similar sense, we don't know what this person's role was as a software engineer. It's one thing to discuss the morality of their employer with them, it's another thing to go straight for their jugular and write them out of society entirely just because their resume says, "Facebook".

And, as I said in this same comment chain, I am incredibly "Fuck Facebook" as a whole.

It would be great if every single person had the luxury of making employment decisions primarily based on moral code. The reality of life demonstrates that that is not always viable for everyone.

Edit: Do we assume that all Starbucks employees, even the ones trying to unionize, are anti-union because that's the corporate stance?
What about greed on all sides?

Madoff’s “unusually consistent” returns of 10% were a huge red flag but even his allegedly savvy clients were happy to keep getting statements. Their greed enabled his.

Greed is a real thing and at a certain level it seems to shut off higher reasoning functions in the brain.

“If it seems too good to be true it probably is”

That said fraud is fraud and there really are perpetrators and victims, more or less.
Ask HN: Is top talent in software overrated?
What do you think about this imaginary argument between an unnamed corporation and an unnamed engineer?

"Software engineers ask for too much, and we will lower our salaries to line them up with the rest of the non-technical staff."

"That's a stupid decision."

"Why?"

"Software engineers are less replaceable than non-technical staff and are the most important people in your company."

"We do not share the belief that engineers are any less replaceable or more important than non-technical staff."

"Then you will not attract top talent."

"Top talent does not always chase the biggest paycheck. And we can do just fine without top talent."

"Top talent will go to your competitors instead."

"Top talent is overrated and will not give our competitors any meaningful edge. A team of ten average engineers can produce as much value as two self-claimed 'top engineers' for the same price."

"What makes you think that top talent is overrated?"

"Some engineers are better than others. We recognize that. But the top 20% of engineers is not that much better than the middle 60%. They do not produce significantly more code, or significantly better quality or scalable code. An average engineer can do almost anything a top engineer can, but for a much lower price. They cost-to-value ratio favors average engineers."

One gets the impression that they don't particularly know what they want and seem to just halfheartedly leap at whatever latest vision that is pitched to them.
Apparently those names were indeed worth the effort to change, since we did that here in the USA.
Then require compilers implement it in the standard. I think it's really backwards to ignore the tool chain and its ability to prevent bugs from entering software.

It's stuff like this that leaves us writing C to rely on implementation defined behavior. Under specification that leaves easy holes to fill will be filled by the compiler and we will rely on them. Just like type punning.

It's the weekend so you'll have to forgive me for asking this: what's the purpose of tracking and planning your nutrition? Illness, sports, obesity? Why would a person decide they want to track (not analyze, just track) every little piece of food or liquid they consume.

Help me expand my perspective.
This is a separate problem imo. Why can't we have both free fares and better policing to keep the riffraff under control?
It's about this that you mention:

> do they acknowledge the universally-known fact that stuff costs money?

No. They don't. I understand if it sounds absurd to you. But that's how it is here.

It's simple: by default they don't think about it. They evaluate only considering the short term results. Its like this:
Free -> like.
Pay -> don't like.

Of course if you talk with them they are able to understand, but many of them never ever gave any consideration to the matter. They don't believe magic explanations, they just don't think about it. For generations they got most things for free, they don't care how it works.
Spain is completely broke as it is. The amount of money the socialists of this country waste is astonishing.
1. Citation needed - which jurisdictions? This is certainly not true in the USA where you can use home equity for investment purposes multiple ways via HELOC, equity loan, or cash-out refi. Additionally, brokerages themselves offer margin, and margin investing/trading is a loan.

2. This doesn't address the point of where the coercion was involved to make this "exploitation".

If you believe entities* on the internet to do anything(that includes investment) you have bigger problem than some random crypto investments.
A lot of parts of internet looks safe, but it's always one step away from a hack, so don't overestimate it safety.

Also people lie to get your money, that includes "celebrities" and companies.

*Most of the time you don't have idea if you talk to(or receive information from) real person, some hacker who hijacked their account, a program pretending to be a human(from emacs doctor to gpt3 and beyond), etc.
Where do you live?! Where I live everyone that I saw immediately started wearing masks. This is literally the first time I have ever heard of a connection between mask wearing and racism.
So much for YouTube becoming a "public utility."
Hence the qualifier, if it focused on stability. And IRs are languages. They look and quack like them and people treat them as such.
We also all benefit from decent public transport, even drivers because it helps with congestion. (Also, as several other mentioned, we don't seem to be very reluctant subsidising roads and car-related infrastructure despite the issue being very similar). Your arguments sound nice in a vacuum, but are not very convincing when considering the broader context of society.
Where do you think your car registration fee, fuel tax and toll road fee go?

So you can leave the city. Even people I know who live in cities with decent transit systems that they use mostly still own cars to get away on weekends, do larger shopping trips, etc.
> Assuming an economic lifetime of 70 to 100 years for new buildings is industry practice based on standards like DIN 276.

Sure, but that wasn't the standard 100 years ago. There are plenty of existing houses that are 100+ years old that will continue to stand for at least another 100 years.
You already can’t maintain the identity (a/b)b = a when you have a zero element, except by declaring "division by zero is illegal". Adding ∞ is not fundamentally different, but just takes a slightly modified list of exceptions.

In many contexts this is worth the hassle.
Sure. Exactly. That is investment. How many people would say "don't put more money than you can afford to lose into a diversified mix of 60% bonds and 40% stocks"?
More concretely, imagine you're on a team of 4 and management says the lowest performer by some metric will be cut at the end of the quarter and replaced with some other random person.

Does this sound like a healthy environment? It creates perverse incentives where folks become more concerned about outperforming the next person than actually working toward the primary goal of shipping a product.

If your goal is to whittle a group of people down to one, then stacked ranking is the right tool. However most, if not all, organizations are created to achieve larger tasks. And this requires the cohesion of a team. If you think of only individuals, then you'll miss the forest for the trees.
The tar archive format, and why GNU tar extracts in quadratic time
As American housing is mostly sprawling and low density, it isn’t terribly well suited to mass transport like rail in most places. Perhaps light rail or even (eventually) self driving cars might work better. Alternatively, change planning rules to encourage higher density although it is probably already too late for any meaningful change.
I’m referring to post-training pruning not smaller models. This is already well-studied but it’s not as useful as it could be on current hardware. (Deep learning currently works better with the extra parameters at training time).

Retrieval models (again, lots of published examples: RETRO, etc.) that externalize their data will bring the sizes down by about that order as well.

> I can’t move out bc I have nothing determining my location

You can very likely walk near your location. If you can, you can phone a colleague. Combine the two. Sitting for 8 hours behind a computer screen is unhealthy, no matter if its remote or not. Also, the walk allows for inspiration (diffused mode) and will make you more productive afterwards when you are in focused mode. My employer even gives me one hour paid sports a week cause they know they earn it back. Give it a whirl.

Poor sports, I’ve always struggled to understand people who’d partake in hacking competitions and then get upset because someone got onto their computer and took all the flags.
Unfortunately, I share the impression, even the most basic "office work" use cases are not covered, like switching audio devices or UX decisions that make no sense, like auto-ditching notifications (like what the heck, the UI knows better what notifications are important and which aren't). The GTK API is like the wierdiest pseudo-objective UI API ever, and the number of modern GTK applications and their complexity can atest that. Gnome's stability makes it the best Linux native DE right now, but the gap between Mac OS and Windows is wider and wider every year. No wonder why people choose WSL as their everyday driver, they have Linux and work environment at the same time.
Do masks really not work? My family has worn masks since the beginning and none of us have had Covid yet. Why would none of us have gotten it if not for mask wearing. We live in an urban environment, so it’s not like it is from not being around other people.
Historically it was about 1. Presumably it has been a little larger with this outbreak.
You know what else would make cooling your home energy efficient? If your home was not absorbing as much heat from the sun. Most roofs are black petroleum product, because oil everything! For not a whole lot of money, the cost of some digging, running pipes, and a pump, one could encase their home inside a closed loop 5mm tall waterfall during summer, which would drop their energy bill significantly. The idea is a little water runs over all outside surfaces of your home, taking whatever heat the surface of the home has with it (but also taking heat through evaporation) back down under the ground surface where it exchanges the heat. Add water as it is lost through evaporation. Really, if civil engineers and builders had made everything a water wonderland instead of heat absorbing black top, it would be a lot fn cooler.
Cats… meh. Would love reading the same study with dogs, and sub-categorize between big dogs vs. smaller.
I might just stock up on the Nicotine if it is stable. Processing the plants sounds tricky. I will read up on it though just in case it has other uses.
Back when I had a class in power engineering as part of my EE program there was about a week discussing transmission line loss. The example we worked on was Hoover Dam which sends its electricity 266 miles over transmission lines to LA where the University was. It was remarkable how much energy was lost both in what are called "i2r" (I squared R) losses (that is just the transmission wires losing energy as heat) and radiation losses where the power lines are essentially very long antennas. There are lots of strategies that are employed to mitigate both kinds of losses, those strategies have their own limits as well. It is all rather more complex than just hooking a wire from point A to point B, as such things are.

The other advantage that Casey's scheme has is power generated during the day doesn't need to be consumed right away if it is stored in Methane. This is true of Nuclear power as well.

The efficiency argument weakened still further if you compare the full cost of drilling, extracting, transporting, and then burning existing "fossil fuel" sources of methane because that not only damages the environment with the contaminated ground water from fracking or other extraction methods, but adds to greenhouse gasses in the the air.

The efficiency here is that your take zero (or nearly so) carbon foot print energy generation to create fuel that has net 0 impact on warming gases in the atmosphere (it takes the CO2 out of the air which is then re-released back into the air when it is burned). For things that can't be electrified, or are better served by heat combustion. Those things are, jet fuel, heating homes, baking, etc.

The other advantage is it re-uses existing infrastructure. So on a dollars per ton reduction of CO2 it is much more efficient than existing solutions, whether you use solar or nuclear.

Like most things, efficiency is a measure of some metric with respect to two choices to achieve the same result.

The choice presented by Casey is "How do you get methane for things that use it?"

If your metric is greenhouse gas emissions you get more gas with has a much lower greenhouse gas impact. On that basis it is much more efficient whether you use Nuclear or Solar as your energy input.
Some people are making a distinction between greed (having enough money and wanting more) and desperation (having no money and wanting enough).
> It would be more useful to ask them why they have removed those features, figure out what their goal is, and then discuss it so you can reach consensus.

That's not a productive approach; it would make the GNOME devs slaves of popularity contests.

These are not my words. They're the words of a GNOME member¹

> as a question was there any kind of community review
No, maintainers are not meant to become slaves of popularity contests.

Discussions with GNOME devs seems not to lead anywhere. Here³'s the opionion of a Pop!_OS maintainer:

Something @GNOME NEEDS to realize is that Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, and others are NOT
going to stop theming. What we will do instead is replace GNOME components
entirely if it becomes too costly to apply our style to them. Come up with a
way forward for custom styles, or lose users.

The theming problem has been very much discussed - if with "discussing", you mean lots of users (devs) talking to a wall. It's worse actually; the GNOME team actively prevented devs from developing theming, and advocated against it.

I actually had a link where a GNOME dev was urging Debian (or Ubuntu, can't remember) to revert a patch that restored terminal transparency (or something like that). Could you help me finding it?

Here's an interesting reply from Christian Persch²:

> 1. Open gnome terminal
> 2. Go to Edit -> Profile Preferences
> Actual result: Background configuration tab is missing.
> It was present in 3.6 version, please return it back.
No.

The above was actually discussed on HN⁴.

Regarding this:

This one is blatantly incorrect, see this twitter thread from a GNOME developer: https://twitter.com/tobias_bernard/status/145743855381055898...

The "*lot* of work" has never been discussed with users (I've checked the multiple requests in the bug trackers). Given the amount of egomania in GNOME's background, and lack of strong (actually, any) technical grounds in the twit, the twit has exactly zero validity.
