I know this is a bit of a loaded question in the C/C++ world. But really depends on the project. Most cases it seems I go with CMake just because that's what everybody seems to use most of the time. But I do long for the day that modules get fully implemented in all compilers and we get some kind of standardized solution that's akin to Cargo/npm/maven... One day. I try my best to keep things simple.
The "clone" label isn't always used by the developers and often times these projects are just heavily inspired

The link between Veloreon and Cube World, for example, seems really shaky to me. I definitely wouldn't call it a "clone" but it definitely fills a niche Cube World left
We also remember that when compared with CORBA and DCOM, it was a pleasure to work with.
I agree, it's like saying the developer of ransomware shouldn't get in trouble for making it if they just made it public instead of using it themselves. The fact that ransomware could be used for legal purposes(pen testing maybe?) isn't really a defense when you make it easily accessible to criminals by making it public.
> There is simply no way to argue that lowered property values won't result in a net destruction of wealth for people holding mortgages or paid off homes.

For people with existing home equity, sure. But how much does that actually benefit them? You can only actually make use of that money in a meaningful way if you either get a mortgage again, or if you leave and go somewhere cheaper (if it's more expensive than your current area, the current situation makes you even more screwed compared to the hypothetical).

Anyway, I was talking about the eventual steady state of the system: as a general principle, low home values would not destroy wealth, any more than reverting back to sane car prices will "destroy the wealth" of car ownership.

> We're clearly off trend at present and there's no reason to believe it won't revert

It might revert, yes, but unlike the insane housing bubble before, the current situation doesn't appear to be caused by financial shenanigans. There's just a lot of demand chasing not many houses. And if it does revert, it'll almost certainly be because of long-term changes in demand or supply. For demand, that would mean a long period of stagnation or recession.

> You're still thinking about extreme markets.

And what we're seeing is that increasingly, even markets that we didn't think of as "hot" are getting expensive. Random places look increasingly like the bay area I grew up in in the 90's, when it was already quite expensive, but not insanely so like now.
I know guys who've gone from job to job basically doing nothing, just collecting a fat check. It's incredible how much dead weight there is in these companies.

> The United Launch Alliance, a Boeing and Lockheed-Martin joint venture, is still awaiting similar approval [to launch top secret spy satellites] from the Space Force for its Vulcan rocket with engines made by Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin, per Bloomberg's report.

One wonders how difficult & uncertain approval can really be, when the only (ongoing) competitor to your "3 of 3 launch success record" rocket is a never-flown rocket built around a never-delivered rocket engine.
Really? This must be a very recent change. If your teacher asked you "An dTuigeann Tú?" ("do you understand?"), they would accept "Níl" as an answer? It sounds horribly off to me.
The simplest answer is that "named functions" and "lambdas" are mutually exclusive, since a simple definition of a lambda is an "anonymous function," or one that doesn't have a name. That's all both practically and technically correct but I call it the "simple" answer because it kind of misses the point that named functions and lambdas are used in different ways. One articulation would be that named functions serve primarily as a means of reuse (to avoid repeatedly writing out the same thing) while lambdas serve primarily as a mean of containment (both in terms of scope and to package up a bit of logic in a form that can easily be passed).

This is all a bit more complicated in the spreadsheet world because spreadsheets have historically maintained a separation between "the document" and "extra code." In Excel, this is the separation between the spreadsheet itself and VBScript macros which might be packaged with it. In Google Sheets, it is the separation between the spreadsheet itself and AppScript.

In Excel, it is possible to implement functions in the sheet by use of the LAMBDA function in a cell. Amusingly, because of Excel's general concept of named cells, these lambdas can actually have names if you want, and can be called by those names. This allows easy implementation of e.g. recursive logic within the sheet, something that was not historically possible without the use of VBScript.

Google Sheets still doesn't have that capability, and the functions you mention are an AppScript feature that can be called from within the sheet.

You will notice in reading this that part of the confusion is that the difference between a conventional "programming language" and the spreadsheet environment means that the terms "function" and "lambda" have somewhat different meanings in spreadsheets than in a more general-purpose programming language.
Short circuiting is a special case of laziness. It's local only, so no thunks are required.

The beauty of functions like fromMaybe is they're only that - just plain, regular functions. No special casing under the hood required.

Yes -- my wife and I are both from the northern midwest. We live in San Francisco now. We are actually colder here in the winters, then we ever were in the midwest, because houses in San Francisco are not insulated, and don't have good heating systems. Whereas houses in the midwest are essentially little heating plants.

Life in the midwest is organized around staying warm and it works very well.

We do appreciate the blue skies and the sun of California, however. In the midwest in the winter, you can often go weeks without seeing the sun.

We also like the houses in California. They're historic and beautiful and in many cases greatly elegant. Also, easy (arguably continuous) outdoor access is a beautiful thing. But there is great irony in paper maché houses being, relatively, so much more expensive.

Complete with automatic parallelization if you ask for it! And automatic KEY=VALUE command line parsing, default echoing of commands (easily silenced), default barf on subprocess failure (easily bypassed). The variable system also interacts reasonably sensibly with the environment.

I've never rated Make for building C programs, but it's pretty good as a convenient cross-platform shell-agnostic task runner. There are also several minimal-dependency builds for Windows, that mean you can just add the exe to your repo and forget about it.

This threat seems to be specifically about sales not meeting quota, and therefore the Google Cloud org not meeting its revenue goals. I suppose one interpretation is that the sales compensation structure is flawed, and not incentivizing sellers to do their best work. If so, sales leadership should be held partly accountable. However, I suspect sales is likely the scapegoat here for deeper issues with the product and how it compares with alternatives.
While the percentage of time is surely low, the high concentration of people per area means the frequency with which you encounter it can be quite high.

I used to work down the road from a big tourist attraction in London. Every lunch hour, I’d need to walk past a mass of people congregating outside the building taking photos, among other things (like forming a circle around a busker, taking up even more space).

I could try wait for a dozen people to finish taking photos (and it’s never just one photo, selfie or otherwise).

Or, after a couple weeks of this, I just stopped caring and would walk past them irrespective of interrupting someones shot. Now if they made an effort to leave an easily navigable gap behind the photographer so I could walk past without interrupting, sure, I did that. Most didn’t.

There’s still a lingering uncomfortability knowing I might be recorded forever in someone’s social media feed or whatever they do with the photos. Yes I know, it’s a public space and all.

There was a post on HN (I believe) a couple of months ago concerning a research paper that explores "What defines a makefile" concluding that by their definition, Excel can be used as one. I've looked around the internet and can't find it, so if anyone else remembers it and has it upvoted or otherwise has the link, posting it would add to this conversation. It had interesting discussion of graphs and requirements and was overall a worthwhile read.
Excel is for end users. Not every Microsoft customer speaks English.

This is a disgusting perspective. The same people who champion descriptivism conveniently tend also to champion prescriptivism selectively, such as with the transexual madness over pronouns. No, I'm a prescriptivist, and I feel so strongly about it that I'd kill. Languages have rules, damn it, and damn those who disagree with this.

Tell me, do either of us see people championing this for other languages? I don't. I think, if a white man learned Chinese and butchered it, and a Chinese man corrected him, that would be fine. Why is it different for English?

Without prescriptivism, we'll see "Me love you long time" be considered to be as acceptable as "I will love you for a long time" and the very thought sickens me.

Your grandparent comment insinuates that executive measures to increase productivity are broad and actually hurt productivity.

I agree for what its worth.

But what these executives and their supporters think is that productive employees will stay the same productive employees with the changes, and that only the unproductive employees will face consequences.

Of course this is ass backwards and we all know it, the innocent are always somehow the biggest victims in war ("blood in the streets" as this executive cheerily calls it).

While it's true that the latent heat of ice to water is very high, it is not likely an important factor in global warming. Polar ice doesn't cool the world as an ice cube in a drink might.

The much more important effect of losing polar ice is the albedo effect, that is how much solar radiation is reflected back into space by ice and snow vs how much is absorbed by exposed ground.

Just in case: losing ice in the polar oceans also doesn't increase sea levels (since floating ice has less volume than the water it floats on), but losing ice that lies over land, such as in Greenland, directly contributes to rising sea levels.

Losing the albedo of floating ice has the same effect on warming as does losing snow or ice on land.

Cold also seems to dampen the immune system which could theoretically increase the rate of cancer incidence.
I think nobody says having public code should be a mandatory filter, but if someone has a github history that stretches to when the site went up, covering multiple programming languages and containing contributions to titled open source software I feel like it would be fair to skip over the leet code section of a hiring pipeline.

Personally I feel fine about take home coding challenges, because I would be programming something either way, but I can understand people that consider that they have better things to do with their free time.

This was the party who ran for office with the stated goal of jailing their opponent. They failed to do so, but I think we're past the point of "risky precedent".

That's not sufficient reason to continue to jeopardize the situation further. I'd love to believe that actually convicting him of crimes, in court, would make his followers say "maybe that isn't a good direction to be going in". But they've already swallowed the persecution narrative, and neither acting on it nor failing to act on it will alter that.

First class has only a few seats so that isn’t a solution for everyone. It wasn’t just rich people who flew under regulation. My family wasn’t rich when we flew in the 70s.

I think the experience under regulation was sufficiently better than it is today that I wish we would go back to regulation.
> The fatwa also applied to anyone involved in publishing the book. In 1991, two translators of The Satanic Verses were attacked: Its Japanese translator, the Islamic scholar Hitoshi Igarashi, was stabbed and killed at a university near Tokyo; the book’s Italian translator, Ettore Capriolo, was attacked and stabbed in his home in Milan, but survived. In 1993, a large mob targeting the Turkish translator, the leftist author Aziz Nesin, set fire to a hotel in Sivas, Turkey, killing 37 people (Nesin escaped). And later that year, a gunman in Oslo opened fire on the book’s Norwegian publisher, William Nygaard, who was shot three times in the back but survived.

Wow, I had no idea these people were so fearful that they'd go for other individuals like the translators, too...what an embarrassing entry in human history.
