RAII is often optional automatic memory management, like in C++ or Rust. Both of these languages are used for AAA games and rarely used for websites. My point was that if you don't go as far as those two, there is just not much of a point to not using C instead.
It will work out, just be patient and courteous. I've interacted with Steam support a couple times about VR hardware, and they went above what I was even asking for.
Huh, it never would have crossed my mind they would do it only in Canada.

Odd.
This is simultaneously surprising and not surprising.
That'll cost you double! Don't forget to tip on your way out!
Like many people here, I don't know enough about Pakistani politics to weigh in on the objective truth of this situation one way or the other. I would only make 4 small comments.

1) You claim these are verifiable lies. From your perspective that is the case as (unless you're a programmed sleeper agent) you're in position to know the truth about whether you're an agent of some foreign government or not. However, from a neutral or 3rd party perspective, this seems a bit like a he-said/she-said kind of case. And from your perspective, disproving this would be hard as you'd seem to have to prove a negative "I'm not an agent" claim, which is kind of hard to do.

2) A personal opinion, but it would probably be very helpful to your case if you can make a clear, bullet-point list of the alleged verifiable lies, who told them and their position in the Pakistani government, and your rebuttal to their claim. I read your piece and checked out your links, but these are all buried under a wall of text that many people won't have the attention span to process given the format.

3) One of the problems with Twitter is that they try and involve themselves in really tough subjective cases of truthiness. I'm not sure that Twitter trying to fact-check and remove what you believe are lies would be the best outcome here. If I were to give a suggestion to Twitter on how to handle this, the best thing Twitter could probably do would be to either temporarily verify him, or create some kind of temporary "At Risk" badge given to a limited number of people in dicy situations like this to bring attention to their cause so they can't be summarily disappeared without a trial.

4) To any journalists reading this, I hope Waqas' story gives you a renewed appreciation for not trusting government claims at face value. Whether his story is true or not, many journalists seem to too often rush to print government claims about anything and everything as gospel. A journalists' job isn't to be a tape recorder for government officials and merely print their quotes, you've got to dive into the background of their claims and consider the other side. If government officials claim X is a foreign agent, you should consider every angle and claim.
this is exactly why a lot of people should have problems with link shorteners based around shady country-code top-levels like .ly and .to
The evil little bastards could be branded, with hot irons, right on their tender, conniving zests. It would serve them right.

Or, when we soon switch to a CBDC with programmable credits, people who purchase prescription products could be prohibited from purchasing grapefruit products.

Edit: I'm in favor of advancing awareness of the dangers of fresh and pasteurized fruit, not as proposed above, but in some effective way.
Russian and Ukrainian are walking on the street and they both spot $100 bill on the sidewalk. Russian grabs it and says "Let's split like brothers!". And Ukrainian says: "No! Let's split 50:50"
Wow. The comments in a lot of these threads look to be full of a lot of snark and anger towards other programming languages and people. I wonder if we're approaching another one of those periods again where people need to be at [not their computer] again.
The pace of social media is insurmountable. More information is generated per second on social media than any justice system could process in a year.
Exactly! Plus, I get a kick out of doing video calls with important people while wearing briefs only. Sometimes wondering whether they do too, just with the upper half of their suit…
What do you feel the reason is that it’s selling less? (If it is.)
The Dems already have a super-majority in the california senate, so that problem has been solved?
Helpful thanks.
This should be at least theoretically possible -- in Windows, for instance, device file paths are based on connection topology, including port address.
What surprises me the most is that Apple didn't open source it even many years since unveiling has passed. It doesn't look to me that they have any risks here. The library could be used only on Apple platforms. It will let users submit fix PRs, and make debugging code (by framework users) much easier.
They don't seem to.. I got a reply on my steam support ticket Saturday afternoon.
I can't help but wonder if this is in any way motivated by the fact that ENS could be viewed as a threat/competitive in a hypothetical future where web3 becomes more mainstream.
Or just ask a doctor. There shouldn't be guesswork involved.
I've known many people who flippantly pop medications without regard for the dosage and interaction warnings. I've even been ridiculed myself for doing so, as if taking 2 minutes to read the label makes me some kind of schmuck or sheeple. I don't really care what other people say, I'm paranoid about everything I put in my body and understand not everyone lives that way, but there are a lot of people that just don't care to think about it.
But somewhat useful as a fertilizer.
The key quote: "The reality is that none of these companies — or any other quantum computing firm, for that matter — are actually earning any real money. The little revenue they generate mostly comes from consulting missions aimed at teaching other companies about “how quantum computers will help their business”, as opposed to genuinely harnessing any advantages that quantum computers have over classical computers."

Say what you want about the dreams people have of what quantum computing might do in the future, it doesn't do anything useful (other than generate hype) today.
My point was that I don't see much of a point in yet another language that is C with an extra 10%. There is another one like that almost every week.

Plenty of applications that require manual memory management have been written in C++ or Rust, which do provide RAII. If you know that manual memory management is required for some applications, you also know it's not 100% of the code that needs it.

I have to say I'm flabbergasted at how slow the EU has been.

The first thing the EU should've done, after banning all Russians and bombing the Nordstream, was invade Kaliningrad.
The main issue with SwiftUI is sheer lack of maturity.

People don't think about it, but UIKit now has ~15 years of effort put into it, and got a serious boost from its shared roots with AppKit (even though big chunks of UIKit were freshly written, its structuring and API design were largely informed by AppKit), which has history tracing all the way back to the 1980s. Of course something as fresh out of the oven as SwiftUI is isn't going to be able to compare in terms of polish or capability.

So for now I'm sticking to UIKit in the apps I'm responsible for. I think SwiftUI's day in the sun is coming, but it's not here quite yet.

That doesn't mean that there aren't issues with how it's being engineered and documented, though. It has serious shortcomings that need to be shored up, and hopefully that happens with its maturation.
Also check https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects and https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq.

I wish https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/wiki/Community-Presets had more presets.
IMO, you shouldn't use React-like tools in performance critical UI code. Direct DOM manipulation in such cases is much better and more maintainable option. I.e., it's easier to maintain straightforward direct DOM manipulations than all the tuning around making a React-like system more performant.
Good idea (for integer-valued measurements), but you can do it without having to bother calculating all fractions with denominator N.

Let's say the reported mean is called m and the sample size is N. Multiply m and N together. Ideally mN should be almost an exact integer. Find ceil(mN)/N and floor(mN)/N and see if they're the same as the reported m, within precision limits.

Example: m=6.24, N=13

mN = 81.12 (exact)

81/13 = 6.231

82/13 = 6.308

So there is no integer numerator (for denominator 13) that gives 6.24, to 2 decimal places, so 6.24 is a mistake or a lie.
Problem is that fractional scale factors are broken, unless your GUI is completely vector-based. While OS can render texts and vector graphics on fractional scales, bitmaps has to be scaled, which makes them blurry.
Visual feedback. Visual interface. The GUI fad is still around.
Seems to be a specific action/order by mentioned ISP. Using the biggest ISP in Austria (A1) still allows access to listed IPs.
That’s not a counterpoint. It’s an anecdote, and an indication you need a better doctor.
Ah yes. I phrase this as wanting to duplicate myself many times over. Much to do, little time.

I'm attempting to put a dent into increasing our timelines (longevity) with my current project, Guava. The other way to get more time is to experience more in the same time, and for this we need improved brains and interfaces. I'll be ambitious and put my effort into these things because it will allow me to do more if successful.
There are numerous interactions and precautions for most medications. The riskier ones are prescribed, and doctors (and pharmacists) should be going over the risks and interactions. The less risky (or grandfathered, or politically motivated) are available over the counter, and it's important to read the literature that comes with it. If people can't reasonably read or understand the risks and interactions, then that medication should be prescription.
No California water thread is complete without the Delta Smelt

T‑Mobile Takes Coverage Above and Beyond with SpaceX
Someone prescribed a medicine is given given direction by the doctor, a consult from their pharmacist, and printed material explaining how to take their medication and what to be careful of while taking it. More information is available to them online and in popular home reference books for drugs.

Perhaps because of a life too inundated by data, or because they’re busy, or for whatever reason, they ignore all of these opportunities to understand the medicine they’ve been asked to take.

I can’t judge a person for doing that, as I’m sure I’ve done the same thing, but I certainly wouldn’t expect a new label on a jug of grapefruit juice that they barely glance at to finally make it across the finish line!

There are problems in the world that are just going to exist, and efforts to eradicate them can become costly and fruitless nuisances rather than further solutions. This feels like one of those to me.
Yeah. Change my mind: if people want you dead violently, police are likely to be 15 minutes to an hour too late, and the courts a couple years late behind that. Unfortunately violence is often either solved by running away, hiding, or meeting violence with direct self defense.

Maybe after you're lucky, you can win a suit against twitter, after their massive legal team drags it out for years with N number of hurdles. You'd be lucky to sue a nobody in podunk small claims court in time to effect meaningful change for something that needed done in days to weeks.
It's not just a hard problem. It's an intractable problem.
Yes, of course there should be warnings for other citrus hybrids that produce the same chemical.

But there is a limitation for HN thread titles, I had to keep the question simple.
Is that tech overactive police swat teams?
I don't understand. Isn't the point of tiered rates so that the customer reduces their water usage?
> Broad strokes like "society" just make it easier to talk about.

I'd say they make it easier to make mistakes in reasoning. Just as unilaterally deciding what "we're" talking about is also a mistake.

Positing that Amazon is too big to buy a computer game company is just wrong. This in no way creates a monopoly on computer game creation, which is one of the best industries on the planet in terms of lack of lock-in in the forms of regulation, machinery, or IP law. Have computer, download Godot, get going.

Also, Amazon is a silly company to level that charge at. They in no way control a significant amount of the game creation industry. You may be thinking of Microsoft.
The thing about the Diamond Age is the first half is a brilliant book full of great ideas that seems to be set for a complex and enthralling finale, and the second half is an absolute mess that ruins the first half. Only book I can think of comparable in that respect is Stranger in a Strange Land (note to sci-fi authors: don't think you can tie the plot of your killer high-concept idea together with the first thing that comes to mind, especially not if the first thing that comes to mind is the need to come up with creative reasons for your characters to have orgies)
The US government may be complicit in the dynamics of Pakistan’s government, so I’m not sure they are working under any directives to help asylum seeking muckrakers:

Not a parent, but for me when gift giving and receiving - there is a lot of joy in opening the completely 100% unopened thing.

And opening many children toys is usually pretty difficult without scissors and or destroying the packaging. The amount of time consuming precision tape peeling without removing the graphic layer of cardboard may be a little untenable around Christmas.
If I was to build a new mobile app using a shiny new declarative framework, I’d rather use Flutter, because at least that provides the benefit of targeting Android for free. Depending on the type and scale of the app, of course.
That's not entirely true. PAM exists on many systems, wiyh their own codebase. FreeBSD for example has its own build which definitely doesn't presume Linux.

Not sure which one macOS' implementation is based on but considering its history I would bet on one of the BSDs.
looks cool!

What's CDB? A quick search reveals it's a SAP's data archive format? (not sure how it relates to an HTTP server)
No, this is not Twitter’s problem, and if they fulfill this request it just goes down a rabbit hole that eventually creates more liability for the company than what they want to take on.

Twitter has taken the correct action here.
People burn an astounding amount of CPU and brain cycles pretending that UIs are something they are not. (i.e. "pure" functions)

I hope Apple never goes the way Microsoft did with their fad UI toolkits that utterly destroyed developer trust in native Windows development (MFC, WinForms, WPF, UWP, WinUI, .Net MAUI). They are pretty wise for keeping SwiftUI be the "for kids" vanity UI toolkit to lure in React webdevs, while keeping UIKit and AppKit for serious stuff.
Why hide anything? Early employees should know they are taking a risk too. If they don’t know that going in, they aren’t a good fit. Share financials, risks, concerns, thoughts from the board (within reason), what has worked, what hasn’t, runway, customer feedback, etc.
Which one? That engineers do not understand that Apple can charge more than PC makers?
If you think ER nurses are medical experts I don’t know what to say. They are medical assistants and specialists who do not prescribe medications — they do what the doctor says.
I see failures on Magenta, A1 (in parts), Liwest and Drei. It’s not constantly blocked which is why I think they didn’t fully roll it out yet.

Also failures won’t happen if you have an IPv6 connection and it can connect that way.
I recommend reading my reply to another comment regarding RAII: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32629951

Also the article itself demonstrates different approaches to achieve behaviour similar to RAII through the `defer` statement and `deferred_*` attributes.
It took me a few tries to get past the first 1/3rd of Anathem but once I did, it became one of my all time favorite books. Stephenson paints a rich rich world which I have often thought about outside of the major plot points of the book.
After a quick search, looking at one such controller [0], it has a 24mhz CPU w/ 16KB RAM and another I came across that has 32mhz CPU and per doom minimum requirements @ 66mhz CPU and 8MB RAM[1], good luck on that. It's been ported to some pretty weak embedded systems before but maybe someone will eventually prove me wrong.

When do you play games on vacation? I feel like I'm usually much more present and either out doing things or at home spending time with friends/family when on vacation (meaning no time to game except when on an airplane).
Do you take thousands of different medications weekly? It's pretty realistic to ask about medications you take and what interactions to avoid with that medicine.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. The analysis isn't on each thing you eat. It's merely a blacklist of a couple things for the specific medication you're on.
How did you verify this was the case every time you heard it?
You're missing his point.

Sure, you eat thousands of things. But surely you're consuming less prescribed medicine. The onus is on you to read the material given to you when prescribed potentially life threatening medication. It's prescribed and not over-the-counter for a reason. There's extra precaution placed on the medicine itself, and so you should pay attention to that and read up.
I generally go out of my way to avoid Walmart, but the one recent datapoint I have was a flour sifter bought there. It didn't work even when brand new. The design was physically flawed, not a one-off defective item.[1] It was essentially a film prop. It looked like a flour sifter, and AFAICT it was really made from stainless steel, but one couldn't use it to sift more than maybe a handful of flour before it became permanently useless. Didn't do anything to change my opinion about buying things from them, and seems like "outright fraud", just not at the level of a fake 30TB SSD.
I feel like the durability of the Steam deck will lead for it to fill a niche in data collection, or some role controlling a drone or robot.
regarding multiple writes - I think hardest part would be to find an sqlite version where "read is a combination of all the files".

Speaking of multiple writers, I've recently heard about "BEGIN CONCURRENT" feature of SQLite [1] - currently it lives on its separate branch, but I hope they will eventually merge it to the main branch. Not sure if it can be used in your case, but worth mentioning anyway, I think.

>What makes you think you can be an expert in even one thing?

That's what I was thinking.

For an interesting approach, pick things which are unusual in the way you can clearly see that the established experts are wrong.

Then you would be misguided if you tried to do it like they do anyway.

We recently adopted a dog. The first thing we did was find a list of the ~20 common foods that are poisonous for the dog. We now have that list in mind and are careful about him when we are eating those foods. I didn't ask people to add a dog warning label to each food that contains garlic.

I see no reason why prescription drugs shouldn't work the same way (which is, in fact, the way they work now). If you start taking a new prescription drug, find out what foods you can't eat and avoid them. There's no need to add a specific warning to every food that might interact with any given drug.
Wait, how?

> SQM was a state-owned maker of fertilizer chemicals until Mr. Pinochet turned it over to his then son-in-law, Julio Ponce Lerou, in 1983. More recently, it has been fined by Chile’s stock market regulator and by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Mr. Ponce, no longer chairman, retains 30 percent ownership.

Wow.

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

> Ponce is currently accused of a millionaire fraud and embezzlement that affects the pension funds of millions of Chilean citizens under what is known as the "Cascadas" case.

Double Wow.

Wikipedia cattily says "See also: crony capitalism"

Hope it works out for them, Chile has an amazing opportunity here.
How would this new medication appear on the interaction label on all grapefruits/juice containers if your claim is that a medication itself made it all the way to market without the proper labeling on that very medication?
"Use after free" is a symptom of other problems. You can "solve" it by making it very different to do in the first place with something ownership semantics, but there are usually better ways of dealing with it in the first place.

One really good approach is to not use pointers in the first place and use handles. I highly recommend this post for more information: https://floooh.github.io/2018/06/17/handles-vs-pointers.html

Because use-after-free is a responsibility problem, handles are a way to make sure that a subsystem has responsibility over that memory directly rather than have it spread out across the program.

This is why Odin nor Zig "solve" this problem: solving it at the language level is not necessarily the best option.
Actually in the 625-line TV standard there are only 576 visible lines.

The other lines are for the vertical retrace, when the video signal is blanked.

With square pixels, the B&W image would have been 576 x 768, which requires a 7.5 MHz analog video bandwidth (@ 50 Hz vertical & 15625 Hz horizontal frequencies).

Most 625-line B&W TV sets could display 576 x 768 images very well and some of the early personal computers with video outputs for TV used this format.

Nevertheless the broadcast TV signal was limited by a low-pass filter to lower horizontal resolutions, corresponding to 5 MHz analog video bandwidth in Western Europe and to 6 MHz analog video bandwidth in Eastern Europe. The reason was to provide space in the TV frequency channel for the audio signal, which used a carrier offset from the video carrier by 5.5 MHz in Western Europe and by 6.5 MHz in Eastern Europe.

So the broadcast B&W signal was worse than what the B&W TV sets could display, corresponding to 576 vertical pixels by about 510 to 620 horizontal pixels (depending on the country).
