this is what kills me about games these days, not just multiplayer games where you have to play the 'meta' if you want to stand a chance, but even single player games where every choice is viable but people will make fun of you for not choosing the 'optimal' build, which a lot of the time is backed more by personal preference than anything else. I used to play Overwatch and left for largely that reason - people would get on the microphone and try to play the leader of a group of randoms and tell other players to 'do their jobs' and pick the 'right' hero.

An example from today is in Elden Ring - largely a single player game, but with multiplayer elements. When I started playing, there was a huge variety in player stats, weapon/armor selection, and people were even encouraged to try out different things by the in-game "rebirthing" mechanic. Then someone found out that a single sword used a specific way vastly overpowers everything else, especially in multiplayer, and now everybody who plays player-versus-player is locked in to using that same sword or else it's not even a fair fight. Players have been begging the developers to change this, and they only recently (as of this week) did something about it.
Ask HN: What is the best password manager for business use?
Hello!

I've been using NordPass recently, but the interface is pretty broken with modern password flows (e.g. you enter your username, the webapp moves to the next "page" and gets your password. ADP does this, for example). NordPass guesses things are a new password on an established site about 20-30% of the time. Sort of annoying UX, though I dont really have any other complaints.

As a community, what do you recommend? I _think_ I've seen bitwarden recommended, but would love hear opinions on current state-of-the-art and recommendations.
Uh... Law? Medicine? Accounting? Eng.? Teaching? What other job where you actually need hard technical skills equivalent to software dev is there no widely used non-commercial credentialing system?
I think the expectation is that since they bought the rabbit there and the rabbit was happily living there, when they return it, they expect it to still live. They think they are returning the rabbit to its "natural" environment and will happily live on the farm.

So there is no legal duty or obligation, but morally, the expectation on both parties are definitely not the same. Otherwise they would tell them that they would cook them when they return them. The fact they are hiding this information shows that expectations are not aligned.
We’re using C++ for a new blob storage service at work. 95% C++; build is configured with buck (bazel) and there is a small amount of Python and shell scripting.

Lead engineer picked the language and he’s very much an early 2000s C++ guy, for better or worse. That said, when the choice was made two years ago, Rust had almost zero adoption in our organization. It’s more popular now, but we aren’t restarting the project from scratch.

If you take part in production, delivery, sales, or distribution of said in North Korea: yes. If you provide North Korea with designs of technology restricted by sanctions: yes. If at least one seventh of all electricity you generate is used for criminals: yes.

I work for a Fortune 500 on a pretty large app, and we use C++ as the core language for all the platforms we support with the UI layer being written in whatever makes sense (Swift -> iOS/Mac, Kotlin -> Android) Its not new new but its been this way for about 5 years now.
The key line is intent.

If you create a new type of leather wallet that just happens to be used for money laundering, that is not a crime.

If you create a new type of leather wallet specifically designed with the goal so that it's easier to smuggle stuff, you can and should be charged for aiding and abetting if they can convince the jury that you did this knowingly with this intent.

If you do the latter and simply want to claim that it just so happened without your intent, well, the courts are there to resolve this dispute, but it can go both ways - especially as soon as there's teamwork and some record of communications, there's often evidence to support or contradict claims of intent.

Like, if you made tests where you run your new wallet through various popular models of airport scanning machines testing whether they succeed at detecting something hidden, and advertise the specific airports which do/don't detect it, that would be some evidence about your likely intent.
If someone built something that said "Launder your money here" and it took in a bunch of money, and then disbursed it sans fees to hide where it came from... they'd say it was money laundering and arrest the person.

Can anyone explain the difference here? Or why anyone is "shocked" that this is happening cause it's crypto?

Just seems kinda childish to think crypto's somehow special and not just a tool for moving money around. Do people really think cause it's on the block chain it can evade every law in the world? And cause it's open source nobody's going to pay any attention?

“sexy”, definition:

1. Arousing or tending to arouse sexual desire or interest.

2. Highly appealing or interesting; attractive.

3. Having sexual appeal; suggestive of sex.

Damn, thats way better than not drawing names and spending $10-$15 on 10 gifts that they dont want and getting 10 things in return that I dont want.
Yeah, it's one of my two main languages for new projects.

I mostly write system tools and cloud-focused tools. For the former I use C++, for the latter it's Go.

The portability of C++ just can't be beat. At worst you have to restrict yourself to a certain earlier C++ version (e.g. C++14), but the pure "access" you get to the system is unbeatable.

E.g. you need to call exactly these low level functions in exactly this order? C or C++ is all there is.

And manual memory management is a terrible way to live your life, so C++ it is. (the modern kind, the one where you never write `new` or `delete`, basically ever)

Go seems like it tries to be a systems language, but it's failing at it. The portability is just fundamentally misdesigned. +build comments based on OS name are a known antipattern, and just are neither backwards nor forwards compatible.

Even the stdlib has different function signatures depending on the OS, so you can't a portable use of select(2).

Go is great for tying together parts, though. Read some stuff from GCS, stuff it into PostgreSQL, publish a message on Cloud PubSub, and update a load balancer certificate. I sure wouldn't want to do that in C++ for a small tool.

I should learn Rust. I hear good things. But in order to replace Go it'd need great Cloud support, and that seems to be lacking. And to replace C++ I'd need to actually be able to build and run stuff, even on my Debian oldstable. Too many modern languages require you to upgrade your entire OS in order to get a build environment, and that's a showstopper for me in some installations.

If I can't run my tool in that older environment, then it's not solving my problem.

But maybe it's fine. Like I said, I should learn Rust.
Yes it is true, and this is just one small example which managed to get some news . Cases drag for years and years , there are hearings etc.
Unless something gets in the news or fast tracked , legal battles seems never ending in most of the cases.
Just about any project you do in Unreal is a C++ project and Unreal is used all over the place - in games but also in industrial design and architecture for demos and visualization.

I started a project (https://github.com/tedmiddleton/mainframe) last year to make a dataframe in C++ because I was running into some performance limits in Pandas. I’m not sure how useful a C++ dataframe is - but I imagine it as being an alternative to going all the way to Hadoop and spark if you’ve outgrown pandas.

They have an amazing home in Auburn, and they have a LOT of goats. My friend, who is married to the ex chief of staff for Cisco also bought a ranch in auburn and they have ~100 goats or so. They rent them out for ~$800 per acre to clear bramble and what not. I spent a week helping them move goats between projects earlier this summer and its a hell of a lot of work.

There are a lot of tech people that went and bought land with goats and have started goat businesses.

> are the decisions being made in the correct path

That's a fair question. They are somewhere between 10-15 years old at this point. They've been working toward a goal for a long time (long before they were on anybody's radar). You'd think they spent that time well.

But perhaps the feeding/funding frenzy over the last few years has ruined their roadmap. Their S-1 said that a tiny subsidiary of Ford is building the vehicle bodies and major components for them. Once they develop a proper stamping line at the factory they can take over and do it themselves (at quite the cost savings). Has that happened? I haven't found any mention of this in any SEC filing. Instead (?), while their Illinois factory is running at 15% capacity, they enter into an agreement to develop an even larger factory in Georgia.

EDIT - I did some map work. Their current factory is on the western edge of a 150,000 person very cheap metro area. It's about 30 minutes east of a 500,000 person very cheap metro area. Assembly line worker availability is going to be quite high. The site is a few miles from the confluence of 3 interstates; the road heading north has an interchange with I-74 (east/west) and the road going southeast has an interchange with I-55 (north/south). There is a Norfolk Southern rail line/rail yard adjacent to the property with a spur directly to the factory building. It connects to a Union Pacific line less than 5 miles away. This is a great location! At the county GIS site, you can see that their factory property is about 500 acres, most of which is empty parking lots and grass. Immediately to the east there are 200 acres of land held in a numbered trust (you'd have to go to court to find the real owner). To the west, you can see that Rivian already owns 380 acres of farmland. This isn't even close to the situation Tesla was in in Fremont. There is almost limitless room for expansion. Building a new factory site nowhere near their suppliers makes no sense at all.
I think this applies to adults only. Kids vastly prefer gifts over cash.

Apologies, I didn't mean it negatively or anything, just for folks following along.
It sounds like you’re telling me you are biased by this centuries old concept, and you risk applying it in am overly broad way. This post could have been much less click beauty if he’d used a phrase other than “demand”. Encouraged. Influenced. There are lots of great words but he didn’t and now we’re arguing about it.

All the tools and scripts I've seen essentially make the same changes to disable certain behaviours.

However
It appears Microsoft still forces certain critical (in their eyes) patches for zero days and can therefore do the sme for less critical things.

For 2+ years I've had a Windows 10 instance with updates (automatic and notifications) disabled .. and it has honoured that setting.

I manually update every few months after reading the details on the pendings and cross reading on Bleeping Computer | elsewhere for patch issues.

Two days ago - I woke to a rebooted computer with a forced "critical security update" applied.

I'm not happy - if microsoft can do that, then so can anyone that infiltrates their patch push ala Solar Winds etc.
We're talking about someone with inhuman self-control, and GP is talking about someone that just can't keep his mouth shut and loves being in the spotlight.

The 1 to 10 scales are tricky. My rating would be 5 is use professionally or equivalent, 7 build non-trivial app and maintain legacy code, must know best practices and style guidelines, basically able to work in a large code base with other users. 9 would be contribute to the language or at least be involved in the community. But I don't know if everyone has the same interpretation of the scale, so you could be relatively competent but only rate yourself a 5 or 6.

Serious question, if the person actually had a 9 out of 10 knowledge of C++, how would he answer? Or is this just a teaser question?

I don't know C++ but I would answer pointers are addresses in physical (?) memory. They let you pass around variables by reference where the receiving function has full access and permission to edit its content. Pointers have to be dereferenced with the appropriate type before being able to read it
Have you read the JEPs? The primitive/object split is being fixed and value classes are coming. The rest of your post really just seems like preferences, personally I do not like operator overloading (scala ptsd), and I don't see the value in < or : over extends and implements, we all type > 120 word per minute, and I think Goetz's plan for withers over records will solve the properties problem.

The fact that an experienced developer has to transcompile Kotlin to Java to understand some parts of it also doesn't seem like a plus to me.

IMO the C++11 and later features can make it easier to use, less error-prone, and slightly more like Rust. Avoiding them entirely is probably a mistake.

Using global control instead of local control seems like such an obvious improvement that I wonder why it hasn't been used earlier. I wonder whether the real difficulty lies in getting the simulations accurate enough to make useful predictions.
I mean, using a search engine to figure out what a CCIE was took about 10 seconds. Searching "engineer pe" and finding a contextually relevant answer wasn't any harder. Not every comment, article or book must devolve to serve the greatest common denominator.
IKEA has range of quality. The cheapest stuff is cardboard or poor quality mdf that disintegrates from most damages. On other hand some of the somewhat more expensive products are lot sturdier and longer lasting.
I have a rule that I do not take any discussion about how "some people are saying!" seriously unless the discussion includes direct links to people saying that.
I'm not sure how well it would work (if at all!), but an alternative could be for a specific prediction to become less valuable as it becomes more popular. In other words, reward players not for absolute accuracy, but for making bets on underpriced outcomes.
At some fundamental level, blockchains do not generate money, it just moves it around. The idea that a content creator might be rewarded every time her site is shown, or every time her in-game items are used, or every time her painting is re-sold sounds attractive. But the idea that the rest of us might have to pay a micro-transaction every time we visit a site, or every time we use an in-game item, or every time we re-sell our property is repugnant.

This is the fundamental problem with blockchain/web3 and you will notice that everyone shilling for it is very careful to focus on one side of the coin.

The fact that some of those systems start to approach usability is also a very weak reason to switch from the existing usable systems. The non-buzzword web3 exists, works, and is called "micro-transactions".
Different systems at play, but I see what you're saying. The ACCC doesn't try to stop social influence.

I am not saying that governments automatically get the benefit of defining what "Good" is, but if you're going to make the claim they're wrong, you have a very hard, uphill battle ahead of you. If you believe in it, stick to it. Civil disobedience, comes bundled with accepting that the system will blow back against you.

I'm using C++ for a minecraft clone that I've been tinkering on for the past year[0]. I also plan on using embedded lua for scripting, and I'm using RML UI for game HUDs, ImGui for development tools, and OpenGL for graphics. I use premake for my build system but plan on switching to CMake.

I'm also using it for an animation tool[1]. I've been using 3Blue1Brown's Manim (written in Python) which is amazing, but it lacks real-time editing and proper 3D blending. It also lacks audio synchronization, 3D texture support, and some more complex features that I'd like to add :)

I may be misunderstanding, but most suburban houses are true houses. A private, detached building with a private entrance, and usually small yard.

Living through the pandemic in an apartment and having witnessed some of the most rude, antisocial behavior from my building-mates both to myself, to other building-mates, and to the building staff, I no longer want to live in an apartment or other shared housing ever again.

There's a trend in some suburbs towards duplexes or triplexes, but even those share more characteristics with a "house" rather than an "apartment".
Oh I wish people would stop deciding every event/fundraiser/ employer needs a hideous screen printed t-shirt advertisement no one will wear outside the event and maybe painting a room.

Enough. Nobody actually wants these. It's direct to landfill for 99% of the things you're giving away.

I start saying no, not that it impacts items already ordered. Figure if they start ending up with thousands of t-shirts after an event they'll stop ordering them.
Then the price will more than double. If there was 100 tonnes of mustard consumed last year and there is 90 tonnes available this year, then the price rises until people stop buying about 10t of mustard.
In theory yes, and I think we probably see this effect with things like home-buyer credits, low interest rates, etc all contributing to pushing up the cost of houses.

But has it been studied that this is actually how this plays out with a low-level consumer good like mustard?
It's very hard to believe that this wasn't already standard.

The Chinese also favor gifts of cash over gifts of stuff in many circumstances. It has advantages when it isn't culturally inappropriate.

I would add that I consider a thoughtful gift more valuable than the cash would be, because it shows caring in a more specific way than a red envelope or gelt. But is the median gift thoughtful? I'll leave that for the professors.
Nope. I've been meaning to, but I feel like I need to clean up the code up a bit before I do that.

It's also quite niche, so I'm not sure if it's for everyone's use cases.
