> The OS-specific interpreter can be bundled with the application itself

Why does the interpreter need to be OS-specific at runtime?

If you're "bundled with the application itself", and your application is OS-specific anyways, then you should of course bundle a optimized OS-specific interpreter.

But, for an actually portable application, that runs on several OSes, you probably want an actually portable interpreter?

> And it doesn’t have to be “installed”, nix solves this problem by nix-shell -p package “installing” the package temporarily, making it available in the shell only.)

`nix-shell -p package` is a very bad example of your point.

* It represents a "not bundled"/"not embedded" use case;

* You "just" need to install Nix, then;

* You "just" need to invoke Nix using the correct derivation, then;

* Nix "just" need to temporary install the native interpreter and all other dependencies specified in the derivation, then;

* Nix "just" need to temporary install your packages and all other dependencies specified in the derivation in a temporary location.

all in order to not need to have it to not be installed.

Even as someone that likes Nix, this doesn't make a lot of sense for the sake of argument.
That a company even sends a rejection letter is a major concession - it takes time (even when automated) to tell everyone who doesn't get chosen that they're not chosen

There are ~8 billion people on the planet

Even if you want to cut that number down to the 100s or 1000s that apply for a given role, only 1 will be chosen for a given position

No one is entitled to be told why they weren't picked

Often as not, it's not a "weakness" so much as they just plain liked someone else more

It has been decades since the research has been publicly advertised. My whole life actually. There has been nothing stopping the US from implementing fossil fuel taxes to curb consumption, except it would sink any politician’s election, because people want cheap fuel. People want tropical vacations, big cars, and big houses with yards. People want to consume.

Even right now, the single biggest political issue for voters is gas prices, and having to consume less. And who they can vote for so they do not have to consume less.

If the goal is to re-write history and establish falsehoods as facts, I would suggest feminist economics would be negative. The idea that some immutable characteristic makes you somehow better at handling economics is discrimination.

So men apparently rule the world of economics - then Marilyn Waring "learned the peculiar set of values", and assumes this is a feminist invention?

We do have systems in place already. The concept of marriage is not just a declaration of devotion, it's also a legal declaration of shared resources. If one partner is at home whilst the other works, it's recognized that even though just one works, the other plays a supporting role in this income.
> I thought we were moving away from naming storms

The UK is moving towards naming winter storms.

A reason for this is this, is that the storm that hit Scotland in December 2011

You can find out for yourself what "Bawbag" is Scottish for, but using official names was seen as preferable.

> Why do you consider TikTok to be social media

A reasonable definition of social media is that it refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and/or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. "

In other words, roughly: a medium in which media created and consumed by the crowds vs. institutions.

This article takes its content from the book "Shady Characters: The Secret Life of Punctuation, Symbols & Other Typographical Marks" by Keith Houston. The book originated on his website as a series of articles, the "&" ones are:

- The Ampersand, part 1 of 2 (https://shadycharacters.co.uk/2011/06/the-ampersand-part-1-o...)

- The Ampersand, part 2 of 2 (https://shadycharacters.co.uk/2011/06/the-ampersand-part-2-o...)

- The Ampersand, part 2½ of 2 (https://shadycharacters.co.uk/2011/07/the-ampersand-part-2%c...)

I'd highly recommend the website and the book, and also his new book "The Book" about the origin of the book.

So far, we manage quite well - although my children obviously know something's wrong with me and we talked about my depression symptoms (without telling them the reason), we manage to keep our kids out of our problems.
Yes? Of course? I don't think there is a solid argument against HN being social media either. Same goes with Discord, Telegram, and Signal.

They are all media that you interact with and also interact with others via. The distinction is made with television/radio, where interaction is purely one-way, and is therefore not social media.
Spanish has the digraph CH, depending on region perhaps? I wonder if that was ever a ligature as well?
Responsibility should be placed where it can actually change something.

Yes, when dealing with things in our own lives it's usually best to go with "at your own feet", not mater who the actors are, since the only person whose actions you can change are your own.

But as far as climate goes, we, the individuals (who happen to not be rich at the moment) have no power to change anything. So taking personal responsibility will change nothing.

Well, actually, people taking personal responsibility for the climate have possibly made it worse by redirecting the attention to themselves.
It facilitates communication which is specially important when discussing wheater events that can cause harm.

Example:
"The Zoe heatwave is comming"
"The Zoe heatwave has increased in severity"
"Local Officials decided to restrict forest activies due to Zoe heatwave"

By glance, or just reading titles, an average person knows about the danger and it's incomming. It's harder to get that information on unnamed weather phenomems. Example:

"A heatwave is comming"
"A heatwave is worse than expected"
"Local Officials decided to restrict forest activies due to incoming heatwave"

Exactly. Feedback works in the context of a relationship. Employment arrangements—peers and managers— are relationships. Hiring pipelines are interactions, not relationships.

Ehh probably not. It would just be faster execution of thoughts and quicker reaction times to things. Play a video game for a while and things will appear to move slower than they used to, because you can process it better. But your hands still move at the same rate and your general sense of time remains the same. It’s really just the illusion of having a better reaction time. You don’t feel like you’re slower by any means
It would be nice to have a standard for delivering email-like messages over Matrix, with email-like clients rather than chat-like clients. The protocol itself would support it.
I think WG21's process is not well suited to this type of problem. To some extent the process can't be fixed, because WG21 is a JTC1 sub-committee and so it must have - for example - the trappings of democracy (which is a bit like having a requirement that your tractor wheels must somehow be made out of blancmange).

But I believe for this type of problem it can be clarifying to begin by identifying a handful of things you should be able to do, and then baking those in. This helps because now competing proposals for how to do compile time reflection have an example application. How does your proposal make the agreed enum-to-string syntax work ? It must do that or it's not a proposal to solve the problem we agreed we have. And meanwhile the ordinary programmers get the things everybody agrees they should be able to do because we're just arguing about how those things work, not whether they should be possible.

Without this constraint, such proposals tend to wander off, each showing how they're ideally suited for solving a problem they came up with, in a context they chose, using methods they prefer, and so illuminating nothing.

A Try operator, perhaps written ?? has been proposed for C++ 26. Even if it's agreed that C++ wants this feature, you can expect years of arguing about exactly how it should work. Rust got its own Try operator ? many years ago. But the conceptual underpinning for this operator (now as the core::ops::Try trait), is still unstable and has actually been re-designed twice in that time. Ordinary Rust programmers don't need to care, they got a working operator, and they'll continue to have a working operator, only the people who care deeply about this need to spend time discussing the finer details of how that operator should be implemented.

As an individual the most effective behavior you can exhibit to limit climate change is to vote with 1) Your Democracy while you still have it and more importantly 2) Your wallet.

I'm not so sure people buy books like that anymore, not at the volume they did 20 years ago. When was the last time you bought an O'Reilly? I used to buy several of these a year, but can't remember the last time I even saw one.

You're right that a new, easy to read guide is needed, but I think it would have to be just a website.

The tools you need for Linux networking, mostly ip and tc, are as crude-but-powerful as they were 20 years ago, but now have much more functionality and complexity. Things are actively getting worse: a tool like brctl (bridge control) was obsoleted for the same functionality in iproute2 -- but brctl was much more intuitive to use.

Some nicer frontends than iproute2 would really help here.

Big question: Why?

I remember when I canceled my hacker space membership. What triggered me was a poorly-planned expansion. The expansion was triggered because the hacker space was essentially turning into a below-cost co-working space, and the whole thing smelled unsustainable.

A few months later I got a "save the hacker space" email. Turns out that, with their expansion, the city they were in decided they were too big to exempt from ADA. They couldn't use the new space that they needed more memberships for, and they couldn't afford the renovations to meet ADA.

I didn't like being put on the hook for poor planning to subsidize what was turning into a below-cost co-working space, so I just lost interest in the community.

For me the worst case of such behavior was when the C++/WinRT team managed to deprecate C++/CX, with the excuse that similar tooling in Visual Studio would be possible without language extensions as soon as C++ would get reflection.

Nowadays I just keep myself to writing .NET, touching C++/WinRT as little as possible.

It needs to be a special kind of developer to love to write by hand, without any tooling support, what C++/CX reflection offered out of the box.

> Constantly asks for access to location, contact book, photos etc.

a) Isn't that reasonable for a chat app? I mean, contact book, photos, location are all things that are likely part of the fabric of your chats with others?

b) It might ask for permission, but does it stop working if you deny permission? (I genuinely don't know since I'm not a user). If it doesn't prevent you from chatting, I don't think this is a strong argument.
reflection is one of the C++'s committee's highest priority as they recognize it will solve a lot of problems people have. However they also know that details matter and so they need more time to get it right. C++ has more than enough cruft that doesn't quite fit together, there is no interest in adding more.
I understand the impulse here, and even respect the motivation, but "we all play by economic rules set by men" in a world where Marilyn Waring was an MP in 1975 seems... self-contradictory?
