Not a criticism but did you consider any of the Golang libraries for doing user interfaces (DearImGUI is what I’m looking at now).
In what way do you mean "how money works?" Do you mean it from a technical standpoint, like "how a bank transfers money?" Do you mean it in the "how things like the stock market work" sense? Do you mean it in the "how money is printed" sense?

Point being that "money" is a large set of topics. It would be helpful to narrow that down a little bit.
If trash was expensive and cover the true externalities, we might more long-lasting products that are easy to disassemble, repair and recycle.

Maybe it's the general crappiness, the planned obsolescence in everything that makes us hold on to all sorts of "spare parts". Back in the day when producing items was hard, a wardrobe would be handed down through multiple generations. Hoarding wasn't feasible but also not necessary.
Ah, the energy density canard. It's becoming a dog whistle for identifying people who don't know what they're talking about.

Energy density doesn't matter; cost does. It's possible to have a high energy density and a high cost -- for example, nuclear fission.
You can make steel with just electric heating - Swedish steel companies are making a lot of progress here https://www.reutersevents.com/renewables/renewables/sweden-l...

Oil and petrochemicals have many uses and they will be with us for decades but at some point this century we will get the vast majority of our energy needs from fusion (the sun), hydro, wind and nuclear. It will likely take longer than we think and but might as well start now than keep running a dangerous experiment on the planet

> People are complaining because it’s 2022 and support for modules is seemingly not there or incomplete in all these places...

So they're complaining on the internet about not getting free stuff fast enough.

They could work with the maintainers of their toolchains instead. If everyone that used xcode complained to apple, C++ modules would be done there already. MS likewise would probably put more resources on it. Open source is a little more complicated, but Red Hat and Canonical do have paid products.
Thanks for sharing. This piece helps me better understand the New theory of Reference, in the historical context.

Here is the book where Soames, Smith engage with each other: https://www.amazon.com/New-Theory-Reference-Origins-Synthese...
In game theory, sometimes giving people extra options can make their situation worse.

I am not saying that this is necessarily the case of e.g. Uber drivers. I am just arguing in general around the argument structure of "the old options are still there, a new one was added, people have free will, therefore they cannot possibly be harmed by this".
If the cleaning information is included in the listing that'll help the market optimize. As is, because it's hidden, guests don't know what they're getting into
This wouldn’t be my first choice of examples. Unmoderated swatting forums (as I understand that it was) goes beyond free speech. The first amendment does not protect death threats.
This is unscientific, but I suspect reflects the way a normal person might perceive Airbnb's fees as high:

I went to airbnb.com logged out, selected the first posting listed, and tried to find the fees. There was no way to see the fee amount, or even know that there are extra fees, without first selecting a date range. I selected three days, and got this fee breakdown

$614 x 3 nights: $1,842
Cleaning fee: $258
Service fee: $296

The unlisted fees increased the list price by around 30%, or $500. If I had been looking for a place to stay, found that place and decided it was reasonable, and then saw that number after I had already mentally committed, I would be frustrated.

(The nightly price is high because I live near a very expensive area and that was the first thing Airbnb tried to promote to me. But I think this would work to reduce the cleaning fee percent, because the cleaning staff are being hired from the same lower cost of living area that services the cheaper properties in the area as well)
> Corporations are not bound by the restrictions laid out in the first amendment; only the government is.

I think that is no longer the consensus. We have corporations that rival governments now.
Oh, I did. And with a legal background including arguing multiple cases in different courts in my country. That's why it's scary.
Automate your life with Exobrain (2016)
When I worked in the Bay Area and had a long commute, before going into the house I would leave all my worries with the 'worry tree' outside. I took a moment to decompress, and to make sure I had energy and excitement prepared so that when my kids come running shouting daddy's home, I was able to give to them the attention they craved and needed.

When my mom was dying of cancer alone and I was in prison and unable to help, even though I don't believe in magic/whatever, I told myself certain musicians playing on my MP3 (https://youtu.be/vhRk12bsggg) was the universe telling me things. Tom Petty was that is going to go a good day, Fleetwood Mac that my mom was doing to somehow be OK (thank you Tiktok for bringing Fleetwood Mac back to the radio right when I needed it), etc. Just having these outside triggers that could reset my worry/anxiety was huge and got me through the day. I took away from that that I need to build habits to break negative feedback loops I can easily get stuck in.

I also check in with myself now. Not cleaning up the kitchen after meals, not keeping my car clean, not having the energy for something simple like brushing my teeth (I know gross) are all actions I take when I am in a bad place. But with awareness, they are now signals to myself that help me know when to reach out/take action/etc.
Iron ore is reduced with hydrogen. Some carbon needs to be added to make steel from direct reduced iron, but that carbon doesn't need to come from fossil fuels.

Cement needs heat, but it doesn't need heat from fossil fuels. And cement will need CO2 capture in any case -- even today, half the CO2 emission from cement is the CO2 released by decomposing limestone, not from combustion.
I think that is really only a “common mantra” for many business owners/executives and the Fox News crowd. I like to think that most of us that contribute to society don’t feel that way.
Right, but what strings are attached here?
Why am I so skeptical whenever Uber says 'Trust Me!' ??
This is why I argue that TikTok is meaningfully no worse than Facebook, Google or Microsoft. They’re all collecting basically everything you put into them, keyloggers and all.

You can’t just single out one because it’s from China, imo.
Government-owned hospitals are a bad idea in my view, because there's no incentive to provide good customer (patient) service, innovate, or move elective procedures to specialized surgical centres outside of a hospital centre. Nor any incentives to provide convenient non-hospital urgent care clinics like you see all over America.

The best hospital systems in the world, like Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, are generally non-profits operating in a mixed system where they take private insurance, out-of-pocket payments, and medicare/medicaid. They have to remain competitive otherwise they won't attract customers from out-of-state or out-of-country. If you basically force patients on the public system to only use certain government-run hospitals, you're dooming them to an inferior experience than what you could get by perhaps enhancing access to public pay for some services.
Yes, but Julia has both forward and backward differention implemented (backwards it's harder).
On Windows, File History works similarly, once you’ve set it up.
Yes. This. Assuming some niche embedded cross compilation toolchain uses C++23, it would support cpp2.
Being kicked off Twitter isn't the same as being silenced.
> What’s the downside of getting off fossil fuels anyway,

Poverty?
> Does it matter? Kiwi Farms spreads hate, therefore it deserves to be shut down.

Well Kiwifarms is still up and running after all of that nonsense, making it a giant waste of time.
If they don’t censor, they’re not liable. If they censor, they are liable.
By removing just three letters you get “initech”. Coincidence? I think not.
Last year I actually had use for that s-video cable I was saving just in case. That makes it soo much harder to throw anything away.
Here is the issue:

https://source.android.com/docs/security/test/tagged-pointer...

Android is tagging the top byte of a pointer to check for misuses, like a pointer into the stack being passed to free() and such.

I have successfully worked around it. The only pointers affected by this that we care about are Lisp heap objects. These are allocated in large block.

When we allocate a heap block, we clear the top 16 bits of the pointer, and save that value in heap->tag.

Then, if and when we free that heap block, instead of calling free(heap), we first mask back the heap->tag that we stripped away and free the resulting pointer.

Everything builds on a Pixel 4a; tests pass.

In spite of the rude language in that Android documentation, whereby some troglodytes disparage the work of their superiors, and give grave admonishments, it's possible to peacefully coexist.

Just-in-Time Compilation on ARM–A Closer Look at Call-Site Code Consistency
Show HN: Thanks to SMC, firefighters with iPhones can track stairs climbed (OSS)
Hey HN! After months of work and over 1000 hours of research, design & development, I just released SMC, an open-source & free iPhone fitness game for firefighters, hikers, tower-runners and people who want to become fit by climbing stairs with friends
- The app can also measure and track stairs climbed on a StairMill/StairMaster machine. Earlier users using stair stepper exercise machines would have to use/purchase more expensive machines that pair with their phones, now they simply wear their Apple Watch (or keep their phone in their pocket) using instructions in the app while exercising.
- Firefighters across the world regularly wear heavy weights/their suits+hose reels) while using the stair mill / stair master machine in their fire stations, as climbing stairs is a critical part of their job. There is no central place where the exercise is tracked, requiring them all to be self-motivated and self-disciplined, SMC hopes to improve that.
- SMC is open-source, safe to use and doesn’t have its own database/backend, so we collect 0 data/analytics from users on our servers. The app uses the secure HealthKit and in-built hardware to deliver the floors/storeys/flights of stairs climbed by the user.
- The app also deeply integrates with GameCenter to encourage friends to be fit together, and it’s all meticulously translated in >10 languages (Includes Arabic, Ukrainian, Chinese Simplified & Traditional, Spanish, French, German, Slovak...) so you can compete & hold accountable your friends remotely, or just complete globally.
- The app was designed to make a low impact exercise more exciting, to encourage people to take the stairs rather than the elevator, and so I can provide my kid a game that require exercising to get achievements for me.

We'd love to get your feedback, and for you to share it with your friends :) We plan to add more features to the app if we get some traction & interest to enhance the fun experience.
You've given me anecdotes and then proceeded to generalize. And called me lazy, which taken together is hilarious. Let's investigate that philosophy, shall we?

Generalizing by nature requires the ignorance of certain truths or anecdotes, in favor of others in order to simplify and conceptualize complex ideas about the world around us.

Read that again. Generalizing requires ignorance.

When you generalize, which you just did, you are, if only by definition, wrong. You must be, logically. If you need help gaining some understanding of logic systems, I'm happy to oblige, because I'm not "argumentally" lazy. (That's not a real word by the way.)

Not all Democrats make up words.
Not all Republicans hire bounty hunters.

In summary, when you generalize people as a group to be of a particular belief or characteristic, you must by definition ignore the vast majority of ideas that are intrinsic to the humanity and individuality within the group. That is dehumanizing; it's factually wrong, and it's frankly immoral.
Welcome to the physiological equivalent of the ebbinghaus illusion. Take an average overweight American and transplant them to Japan and they'll notice real quick.
I was misremembering, it was `into_iter` rather than `iter` that was changed. The documentation for the change can be found here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2021/IntoIterat...
How is this cumbersome or fragile?

I had a single bad experience with a host who incorrectly said I did damage and asked for money. Airbnb found them untruthful and didn't make me pay, but did let them leave a negative review saying I damaged their property.

I left a long negative review of the host. Because a single sentence in that review covered a topic Airbnb considered not the host's fault they deleted the entire review and didn't let me leave another.

I have been unable to use Airbnb again because every host will decline when they see that negative review.
You should read about dynamic arrays more carefully. They have amortized O(1) insertion which is better than a tree, and the data is contiguous in memory which gives it better cache locality than a tree. They are one of the most popular data structures.

Parts of your post also seem to me to be quite boastful and low-value: (paraphrasing) "the course takes itself very seriously", "why spend so much time teaching so little material", "these topics are mostly old; just read Knuth", and "dynamic programming is easy; I learned it in 90 seconds and then did my PhD in it".
If we assume historical experience curves continue, that means there is no floor, except in the sense that costs are still nonzero when renewables reach 100% of the world energy supply.

In that vein, expanding solar to supply the entire world will (on the historical experience curve) reduce module prices by another factor of ~4. Costs will continue to decline after that as modules are replaced, but that's an ever decelerating process that approaches, but never reaches, zero.
Redis is ~200K lines of C code, so it's relevant project-size-wise, but - redis was started in C, right? It's not like developers now have the option to "go C++" without a company-wide decision.

Still, if could quote Redis developers making the GP's claim, that would count.
Many obese people need proper help and treatment just like any other addict. We’ve somehow managed to make obesity a protected class in our society which in turns makes it worse. It’s absolutely crazy to hear an obese person pass judgement on a meth head or an alcoholic or a heroin addict. They all need treatment. One is no better than the other. They need medical attention.
The number of teams at these companies where “you should seriously consider Rust” is a thing is approximately (not exactly) zero. Its adoption is still a novelty, and most of the impetus behind it is engineers looking to scratch an itch without any legitimate analysis of the benefits or trade-offs involved.

It may be changing, but certainly not faster than I’ve observed (it’s not a matter of speculation, for me).
Bad habit from vim, sorry :).
I did actually miss that. But my point is that none of the papers established a limit at 10 years and it’s not clear at all how the authors came up with that number.
From "FCC fairness doctrine" (1949-1987) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine :

> The fairness doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. The demise of this FCC rule has been cited as a contributing factor in the rising level of party polarization in the United States. [5][6]
From what I've seen, the majority of arguments against gig work is a combination of information asymmetry (usually that a worker does not know the "true" payout of such work because they haven't accounted for things like depreciation and car maintenance costs) and the idea that you can't "overcharge" for unskilled labor. E.g. one could make the same argument that a general contractor also "does not know the true payout" of their contracts since they also have various difficult-to-calculate cost-of-of-doing-business costs, but the rebuttal is that these costs can be built into the cost of the service.

Something that I think a lot of these discussions fail to account for (and was, incidentally, an underlying theme for California's Prop 22) is that gig companies artificially create a type of market that would otherwise cannibalize itself into a different type of market. If one were to follow the ideals of increasing payouts to [whatever arbitrary point is deemed acceptable], the logical conclusion is that either demand has to increase proportionally to create upward price pressure - and there's no reason to believe the market would simply increase demand just because one wishes for it - or service volume has to decrease (the service becomes less affordable, meaning less demand from price-sensitive customers, which in turn means less drivers on the road, longer wait times, etc).

But once we get into these terms, we run into the classic "I got mine" mentality. Then it's complaints that taxis aren't reliable, or smugness about how one doesn't even use these services in the first place. Well, which is it, does one supposedly "care" or is it really insofar as it doesn't become an inconvenience to themselves? Easier to just blame the companies for everything, right?

The one group that does truly care about the payouts is drivers themselves. From what I see in driver youtube channels, they can in fact become quite savvy about how much they can expect to take home, and come to their own data-based conclusions about whether new features or bonus structures are good or not. Common themes: two [gig companies] are better than one, long term is worse than short term, weekends are better than tuesdays.

And to tie back to supply and demand, gig worker supply base is highly elastic, aggressively more so than any other type of business. Uber's CEO even said inflation helps business because with rising cost of living, more people look to gig work to make a few extra bucks. So, in a way, sure, gig companies promote an environment where more workers can freely come in a take a piece of a pie (which is not infinite). The thing is everyone wants more of it and there's only so much to go around. Is setting up such a system akin to taking advantage of these people? In a way yes because it's playing to their desires to earn more in a world that is largely structured to think payouts should always go up over time, whereas the reality is that they're exposed to these raw supply-and-demand market forces more directly. But also no, because they wouldn't have that opportunity to make extra cash at all otherwise.
The problem here is accountability, with traditional solutions you can't have accountability and anonymity, anonymity encourages bad behaviour but also encourages sharing your thoughts without censoring yourself, maybe in future you will be only allowed to post when your account is registered using your special ID that every citizen will get from government saying "this is a real person" but you will not know who it is, and then appealing blocked account will be regulated by special law for social networks with more than x million users. This will limit bot usage to minimum, free speech problem would be partially solved because now you can be identified the same way as you would on the street IF you break the law but if you are not breaking any law then social network employees or other participants in the social network will not know who you are or know what's your name if you don't want them to. Maybe something like that would work?
Where does the plan to continue to do it for decades fit in?
The green bubble means iPhones have downgraded the conversation to SMS, or MMS for group chats. It results in lower quality attachments being sent, and fails to implement some nice features that would be available with RCS - like typing indicators, read receipts, and emoji reacts.

iPhone users expect these features through iMessage, but don't realize that the features are missing from green message chats due to Apple's stubbornness to avoid implementing open standards, not due to anything in particular the Android device is doing wrong. I'm not saying RCS is the end-all be-all, but any kind of shared protocol that Apple had worked to develop in good faith would have resulted in a better experience for iPhone users. So it's really disappointing that the only the option they give their users is old school SMS.
It also doesn’t say anything about corporations. We strike a balance regardless.
I said that because the user surveys conducted by ISO clearly identify dependency management and build times as the biggest pain points for C++ engineers. Every proposal doesn't have to work on those problems, but other than parsing (i.e., language designer tech) tooling seems like an afterthought in this case. Just like all of the big ideas coming from ISO leadership.

Big reasons people look for non-C++ solutions include better build times, dependency management, etc.
A meta question on the WSJ headline - do American really use the plural for linen to refer to sheets, etc?
The phrase "Achilles Heel" implies it's a fatal, unsolvable problem. But the cost of dealing with intermittency of renewables is looking like it's not bad, especially if one takes into account all the ways it could be dealt with (like thermal/cold storage out at the edge of the grid.)
More or less this. “Unsafe” as a value proposition loses its luster when it’s ubiquitous in a code base.
My doctor is south Asian and is much more strict in interpreting my labs, particularly with blood sugar and cholesterol. The diagnostic standard for normal blood sugar and A1C can be pre-diabetic for a South Indian male
> So basically my system administration task turns into a software development task instead. And (in my opinion) there are much better tools available for this: source control systems such as git, test suites and Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines, and code review processes. These make it easier to keep track of and understand the changes, and reduce the possibility of making a catastrophic mistake.

Preach. I've been doing that in production for about five years. CI/CD builds and tests images for every change and in a daily schedule for updates. Images are gradually rolled to VMs.

It took a bit of work to setup properly, but past the first few weeks worked like charm. I even forget we have servers sometimes.
Its a circular argument. Any action requires energy, and the only energy you have avaliable is dirty energy, so you can accuse green tech or requiring dirty energy
