Yeah, this just isn't how it is anymore. The last time I was up shit creek because 50k boxes were crash looping and GDB couldn't get me a stack trace was in 2014. The last time I spent more than 30 minutes chasing a memory corruption issue was in like, 2018. And it was because some wise ass had decided to roll his own fibers by stomping on `rip`, `rbp`, and `rsp`.

These days you use `std::unique_ptr`, build with clang-tidy, CI under ASAN, and it's never an issue in practice. Once in a blue moon the CI chirps an ASAN failure that gives you the entire history of the memory address with line numbers and you fix the typo.

The safety that Rust gives me is that it's more expressive type system and modern affordances for things like exhaustive pattern matching lets me avoid logic errors, which are every bit as deadly as buffer overruns and much harder to mechanically identify.

It is usually easier to write correct code in Rust than in C++ because it's much more modern and frankly kind of an everyman's Haskell (which I mean as a compliment). But it's intellectually dishonest to say that this doesn't come at a cost: when you wander out of the borrow checker's sweet spot it can become kind of a Tetris puzzle even when you know all the rules on paper.

The same pattern matching that lets people see a borrow checker puzzle and immediately say "right, we need to do X" is the pattern matching that let's a C++ hacker see a failed template instantiation and immediately know what got misspelled.
Wayland Core Protocol Is Tailored Only for Gnome and That’s Not a Good Thing
It’s been gone for a few weeks. I wonder what the cause would be?
Maybe it depends on the attitude of the other parents in your child's class.
Start local. Your local city counselors are generally receptive to feedback from their community (in my experience). Compared to national politics, they tend not to get as much feedback about local issues that people care about. Write a letter, even email, and you’ll be surprised. Then talk to your neighbors, and get them to do the same.

You then can live in a bike friendly city.
I always wondered what are the margins for this product, it's the same product for decades, and the price tag remains high.

The cool thing is that it can be passed on younger generations.
It is worth noting that streets were dangerous even before cars. For instance, Pierre Curie (Nobel prize and husband of Marie Curie) was killed by a horse-powered truck in the streets of Paris in 1906. He was 46.

But pedestrians at that time had the freedom to walk in the middle of the street at any time. You can clearly see it in this fascinating video of Paris in late 1890s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo_eZuOTBNc
Adjacent to this, the USA used to have great light rail / trolleys in even small and rural towns. If we just brought back rail, we would be able to improve walkability without rebuilding!
> Over the course of several decades, they must have been making a large integer multiple of the build cost in pure margin while not updating the product.

Yup, this is an open secret about calculators: they are basically regulatory capture nowadays, since you can buy much more powerful devices for cheaper. Software used to be an advantage, but the algorithms they use are now common knowledge.

You can also use an alternative like NumWorks, that has source-available software and lets you run your own code; they have played the regulation game and have a reset button that allows them to be used at some exams in France, Italy, Netherlands, some US states, etc.
So many of my professors have put this on the screen during an exam. Truly, a great blow to academia.
Even so, power plants are massively more efficient than any combustion engine, even taking transmission losses into account, so it’s still a net gain.

Additionally, EVs become more clean along with the grid they’re connected to, whereas ICE vehicles will forever be as dirty as they were the day they rolled off the lot.
You don’t see a downside to there being fewer artists creating art?

Art benefits humanity not only because we consume it, but also because we produce it.

Making art is part of what makes us human.
Self driving cars should at most drive people to the train stations that take them to the city.
Isn't that what the browser does by default if you don't involve any websockets or JS? When you load a page it streams (and incrementally parses and loads) the content for that page. When you follow a link to a different page on the site, it streams the content for that page and only that page.

To be clear, exif data was still present when uploaded (including the orientation data) but the GPS location had been removed. I think problems with photos being incorrectly orientated is more to do with the website not correctly interpreting (or completely ignoring) the relevant exif data.

>>What are we alarmed about?

While I think the study has some major deficiencies addressed in other comments, if it was true, the alarm for me would be that Wikipedia has clearly become politically partisan in many area's and topics, including some that would intersect the law

Wikipedia is hardly a "neutral" site of just facts
Do other devs just open up multiple vs code windows for each project or something?

I can't stand not being able to run everything in the same window with ctrl P picking up files from across projects as a reference.

I feel like I'm the odd one out because I've noticed a lot of languages and Lang servers are making these assumptions about how devs work and organise code.

Or they're just being perfectionist opinionated twats.
Your comment history is fascinating.

You posted yourself about the ridiculous subsidies that US suburbia gets so you clearly understand that the way Americans live in the suburbs is completely out of touch with how much it really costs, and very few people if any would actually choose suburbia if they had to bear those costs.

Yet here and elsewhere you also say it’s all a “good thing”, and that Americans are “choosing this”. They really aren’t. Zoning laws are preventing better alternatives from being created, and the subsidies basically force an unnatural amount of people to go that route even if they hate it.

And honestly, most of y’all don’t know any better. Whenever I have Americans over visiting Brussels, it ends in “holy shit I want to move here”.

Last guy I had over was from Alabama. I walked with him from one end of the city to the other in less than a couple hours, stopping everywhere interesting. His mind was blown: it’s the same distance he would have to take his car to go to the nearest pub to his house.
Apple ][ user from way back, I’d never seen this! I bought a Koala pad with my //e when it came out, but never became proficient with it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KoalaPad

I still have have a Texas Instruments TI-99/4a with a pantograph style digitizer called a “Super Sketch” that plugs into the cartridge port. It’s pretty rough. No disc drive so I can’t save.

No longer have the Koala but I do still have a IIgs with most of the add-ons. 8MB RAM, 1gb compactflash HD, DVI video, quadraphonic sound, ethernet. Amazing how there is still active development on the platform.
> There is some grey area in interpreting legitimate conscientious objection.

A ton of unnecessary gray area, and a violation of separation of church and state to give preference to certain tribes over others based on political influence.
I suppose that's what you end up with if your stated goal is to replace C++.

There already were several options instead of using C++, but some minds are wired in that way after many years of training.
The vias are there in order to connect different "islands" of the ground plane together I think. (Not literal disconnected islands, but you generally want ground planes on different layers to be connected as much as possible).

The difference is that train tracks are designed primarily for trains. Before cars existed, streets were primarily for people and horses. Cars were, as the title of the article suggests, intruders into this space. The push to popularize the term jaywalking was an effort to reframe streets as a space for cars first, where it's the responsibility of pedestrians to stay out of their way rather than the other way around.
> I don't see how this is any different than installing from the Mozilla Extensions Add-Ons Store.

That I agree with. There seemingly is a Mozilla bias there.

Looking at Mozilla's privacy policy doesn't bolster much confidence either[1]. Except one nice thing they provide is a guide on how to evade their analytics, which is a nice, consumer-friendly piece to their docs (imo Google would probably never document something like this):

I was in Birmingham for a couple of weeks, the squares and streets with trams (not busses, taxis, and other nonsense like oxford street in London) are great -- the tram is only every few minutes, you can easily hear it, you know exactly where it's going and where it stops, and through the pedestrian area it travels slowly.

God help us if what bright eyed engineers want, is lots of followers on Twitter.
That is true. I often fluctuate between thinking I’ve done something right and just got lucky, or perhaps a combination of the two.
They were tired of having to smear leap seconds in the timer.

It is not a myth. There are serious concerns about the drop of testosterone levels in men - as much as 25% from the 1980s.

Also, sperm count in men has dropped around 59% from the 1970s and so infertility among men is at an all time high:

DISM is a proprietary Windows tool, so no use at all for modifying an offline image from a Linux host.
You use versions of the algorithms that have been rewritten to be parallelized. For example:

https://spark.apache.org/mllib/

There are a lot of techniques where this won't be possible due to the nature of the algorithm.
You are correct, Clojure does get Java’s rich ecosystem, and Python’s via pythonlib. There is some impedance mismatch that you don’t get using, for example, Python directly.

It will be interesting to see what languages win out long term. I really don’t like programming with Rust but it is becoming wildly popular. I do like Swift, the language is intuitive to me, has good REPL support, and has awesome standard libraries for machine learning and just about everything else.

All that said, I am an old man, I like Lisp languages, and that works for me.

Guess it’s time to start being more aggressive with anti-meat messaging.

A major issue with the less-meat-more-veggies idea is glyphosate, though, as produce treated with it is not vegan: glyphosate mixtures typically contain tallow from animal fat.
Lots of weird artifacts which are very hard to fix.

The argument that users can now generate professional grade art by bypassing artists entirely feels so strange. I have access to Dall-E. To generate images without artifacts, you have to do one of these: a) Do a lot of cherry-picking which can be expensive. b) Prompt should be about an abstract concept which can "tolerate" any number of artifacts. c) Prompt should be about a common/generic concept that you have already seen a lot of times on the internet.

I think the biggest use case of Dall-E will be in removing creative block for artists.
I wouldn't trust a 3 year old to not jump off a wall, stick their head down a drain, eat some random berries, etc.
I think it depends on the topic and section of wikipedia.

If you get into the political area's of wikipeda, I think the bias of Wikipedia is pretty clear polar to that of PragerU.

If you stick to the pure hard sciences (physics as an example) and non-controversial events (like an earthquake) then sure they are unbiased
`Depends_on` in Terraform Providers
Really tired of overcoming the existing design limitations of terraform.

I think that this is a global issue that had been neglected for far too long, and too many people had been struggling with this due to pointless hashicorp excuses, of "being understaffed" or "this goes against the design of a single consolidated plan".

I think that Consolidated Infrastructure State and Consolidated State Locks are far more important than the Consolidated Plan itself.

Consolidated plan is simply impossible for multi-stage deployments and can be omitted during the First Infrastructure Deployment.

Having multiple deferred plan refresh phases, alongside the dependency calculation is something that should be tolerable. We're tolerating the "known after compute" type of situation for everything else anyway.
No, QFT requires only O(log(n)^2) gates. It can be described by using a recursion. That is, QFT on 2^n values (n qubits) can be computed using QFT on 2^(n-1) values (n-1 qubits).
I spent years asking people who claim that France's cost were low for the data behind it to no avail, but only finally stumbled upon somebody linking to this paper in a different context:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03014...

There's another paper somewhere in my bookmarks that shows this for reactors of the same model built in the US, and maybe also France, but I'm having trouble locating it right now...

As with any single publication, it can't be taken as the revealed truth, but it's the best I have at hand.

Edit: how could I have forgotten about the infamous Loveringe, Yip, Nordgard paper! This is impressive because it does the analysis across many countries, and finds a few with cost decreases, but a dominant trend towards more expensive construction:

https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S0301421516300106?...

My personal, untested, hypothesis is that these variations have mostly to do with the general cost of labor in a country, and in particular their level of economic advancement, which establishes a floor on the value of an hour of a person's labor. Specifically, my guess is that construction is only feasible for nuclear when a country is in a magic sweet spot where labor is cheap, and technological advancement is moderate, like 1950s-70s US level. But not so advanced that labor has gotten so expensive that skilled labor like welders have more productive uses of their time.

If my theory is correct, future costs for South Korea should rise from where they were before stopping their program (in a flurry of corruption scandals, I would note. Nobody brings up South Korea as an example of successful construction anymore, instead having to resort to suggesting Rosatom should embark on a massive building spree across the globe.)

Sorry, but this is simply ridiculous. Land changes hands - by violence, and occasionally by consent - throughout human history. Sometimes, even the actual identity of the people present changes slowly over time, without anyone noticing until a few hundred years later.

> "their culture"

Native Americans are not all a monolithic block, and in my part of the world, for example, the Hopi still "remember" (as a part of their own oral history) when Athabascans from what is now called Alberta & British Columbia migrated (with a certain level of violence) into their area (and eventually became the Dine). From the tone of my Hopi neighbor, I'd say there is still some resentment about that. The Americas were essentially just as full of conquests and land-grabs as Europe or Asia.

The big difference, or at least the one we register today, is inter-continental colonialism combined with genocidal intent. That is not exclusive to western European cultures, but for reasons that I still don't pretend to understand or know, that part of the world seems to have operated in this manner far more and far effectively than any other.

However, the notion that a particular part of the Earth "always was, always will be" the home and place of a single group of people is just not a description of human history on this planet.
Ditto for stopwatch. Whyyyyyyy?
I reckon nobody opposes your fine idea, simply that when a template is transformed enough to be a useful web app starting point, it's often too opinionated to be generally applicable! But maybe the next time I start a few web apps I will think about how I can keep it a clean template as long as possible -- might go somewhere cool.

I'm sure they did a careful, sophisticated A/B test and discovered that the timer was measurably decreasing revenue. After all, if you're clicking a timer widget, that means you're not clicking a Youtube video titled "6 minute countdown" and watching a 30-second ad first.

Alternative wonders of the world
How many orders have been placed has very little to do with the technical qualities of F-35 and the same is true for any other weapons made by USA.

In the relationships between USA and its allies, there are frequently quid pro quo arrangements, where USA does certain things only with the condition that enough orders are placed for certain of its weapons.

So those who buy F-35 do not necessarily buy them because they want to have F-35, but because they want something else and buying F-35 is the means to achieve that, since USA wants to sell them more than they want to buy them.
I kinda like Google not doing everything. When google starts to do all the little services like timers, conversions, speed tests there isn't any room for anyone else. I just wish the alternatives weren't so scummy.

The commenters you’re replying to have no idea what they’re talking about. There’s virtually no where on earth where basic and advanced cardiac life support isn’t performed, especially in hospitals.

“In a lot of hospitals, esp in developing countries, the heart rate is still taken as the default indicator for life.”

That’s just nonsense on multiple levels. A person in Vfib or pulseless electrical activity has a “heart rate” but they are inevitably going to die without intervention - they are just as dead as someone with asystole. So nowhere in the world is a heart rate an indicator for life - that isn’t a cultural issue that’s a basic physiology one.

A lack of heart rate is not a necessary nor sufficient indication of death!

The medical indications for basic and advanced cardiac life support are clearly understood throughout the world at this point.

Cultural attitudes towards CPR vary - some of that has to do with education as well. It’s a complicated subject, but Hacker News comments don’t seem to be the most fruitful place to have that discussion.

Reducing CPR to “clinging to life at all costs” is not coming from an informed point of view. CPR performed on a 25 year old otherwise healthy trauma victim and a 95 year old with heart failure are not comparable.
And if you do that, then the 137Cs ends up in the off gas storage rather than in the molten salt. A good fraction of the fission products escape the salt, which kind of shoots down one of the main selling points of MSRs.
