Do you mean "C++ in Constrained Environments"? Honestly, to me it feels very abstract and hand-wavy, lacking demonstration of a real-world problem being solved. It also looks like the same talk Stroustrup's been giving for the last several years, with maybe minor tweaks.

To me talks by practitioners, who have experience in a given field allowing them to know what works and what doesn't, are more compelling. In the past Mike Acton and Chandler Carruth were such speakers. After quickly going over the schedule, this year Ben Saks, Andrew Drakeford, Ivica Bogosavljevic, Eyal Zedaka, Daniel Withopf, Andreas Weis and Ilya Burylov seem to be such speakers. I'll watch their talks when they become available.
Hi user1029384756 - Tobie here, founder of SurrealDB. We do plan to support GraphQL integration soon (hopefully before our final 1.0 version). Our features page https://surrealdb.com/features is the best place to see what is built, and what we intend to build in due course! Hope this helps!
1. Holocaust denial is a pretty clear and shut case.

2. The law, and the most vocal/influential parts of society.

I know that might not answer the allusions behind your question, but then you have to be more specific.
Speaking of writing out code - in the eighties making games professionally on ye olde 6502 systems - we would go to the local coffee shop with paper notebooks in hand and scrawl out code - Go back to the office and then type it in and press run. A lot of code was hand-written 'offline' back then. I wonder what effect that had on our brains.

I have experienced this without any need for async. This is just lack of standardization.

Same story can happen with time/decimals/database drivers.

However pulling it into std would probably kill the library because backwards compatibility guarantees.
Gomuks is great, yeah. I just wish it had more detailed picture rendering (e.g. sixel or kitty rendering) for terminals that support it.
Create the ones youd love to use. Seriously. It puts you in the perspective of the user where you get to solve things you can use.

While good materials are easy to find, it'd be much easier if all assignments and solutions were available the way they are in this MIT course. I find a lot of value in verifying my solutions, or comparing to other valid solutions.

Cheating is a major problem, but I think the benefits (at least societally) would greatly outweigh the costs. I know sometimes courses don't change enough to make releasing solutions to assignments from past years a viable compromise.
I wasn't aware of Minecraft RTX, but it looks sweet. So do a few other games
Once upon a time, I was young and foolish. When I came upon a topic, and if I could not find an answer on the first page of Google, I just wrote it out. There we go, one blog post. Blogs were new, and my few friends would swarm in, email/forward, and tell the others on other forums. It would suddenly be popular, shared, commented on, and debated.

Someone would ask a question on a forum or a mailing list. I would then blog out that answer and keep sharing it repeatedly to the same questions asked over and over again. The blog post would then be linked and discussed by sites such as Adobe, etc. Bam, you feel like writing more.

Now, I have a query or a topic, and there are hundreds of answers that people have already written about. Or I will know that is stupid; I need more information and in-depth research -- then I would get lazy and focus elsewhere.

Finally, I'm beginning to get addicted to the quiet and loving the new intoxication of silence.

Offtopic: The website's design is brilliant. Is this a theme or custom-rolled? A quick source did not reveal much but I would really love to steal a design similar to this that I can adopt.
> IM1 was faster than 95% of all stars in the vicinity of the Sun. In a second published paper, we also demonstrated that IM1 possessed material strength tougher than all 273 meteors in the CNEOS catalog. This makes it a true outlier, rarer than the product of 5% and 1/273, which is 0.0002.

Can someone explain why it's rarer than the product of the observations? Assuming hardness and speed are totally uncorrelated that would seem to be the maximum rareness. Only if they're anti-correlated would it be "rarer", but I don't see why that would be. (I would even naively expect them to be somewhat correlated, fragile fast things would be more likely to break apart.)
I got hold of this book after reading your comment and it's already one of my favourite books.
I only found that at the start but I was able to scan (Fast Forward) to the point.

He also did say - which you may have scanned past -

"I aim to have these emails be more along the lines of "infotainment." Meaning, they aim to contain brief bits of information while also being entertaining."
Indeed, he was the most opposed to third-party clients and federation. I do also hope they will change their stance on these points, it would make Signal a lot more attractive to me.
Old school forums ("boards") used to have threads dedicated to good usernames.
Yes they can ignore the VAT if they operate outside of the EU. It's up to the importer to pay the tax in that case. National posts and delivery companies have a standardized procedure for it. It's done in the same sweep with duty fees.

And even if the seller is based inside the EU they don't necessarily need to care about VAT - the limit is around 100k EUR yearly revenue (varies by state).

NixOS for Apt/Yum Users: A Gift That Keeps on Giving
Self-absorbed yes, and could be condensed into a few paragraphs - it was clearly written stream of consciousness and not edited. Nevertheless, I was able to sponge up the core idea.
I'm actually a college admissions consultant and this doesn't really tell the whole story. For one, university admissions at selective colleges are holistic, so "scores" doesn't really mean very much, especially since many schools are now test optional.

You also lump Asians and white people together in a way that's inaccurate. In fact, by some accounts, white people are the largest beneficiaries of current college admissions practices at top universities, thanks to legacy admissions practices / donations, a preference for athletes, and race-based admissions policies.

I recognize the last two of these may seem counterintuitive, so I'll explain. With regards to athletics, the sports represented at top schools lean heavily towards those played in affluent, predominately white areas — think squash, crew and tennis.

With regards to race-based admissions, yes Hispanics and black people benefit (to be fair, they almost never benefit from legacy), but the real "victims" are Asians, whose representation at Ivy League schools has remained flat since around 1990, in spite of the fact that the Asian American population has almost tripled over the same time period.

People buy smartwatches and go on diets in rich non-American countries too. I don’t really know what your point is though? It’s possible to have a hard time seeing doctors in wealthy countries with socialised healthcare (eg the current situation with the nhs in the U.K.) and it is patently that you need to be one of the richest ~10 Americans to see a doctor. I think a great deal of the American readers of this site will have ‘good’ health plans to the extent that they could reasonably easily see a generalist doctor at short notice.
Normally i would use my first name (a rare Finnish male first name), but someone already used it.

Therefore, no names left and it stuck.
In my experience, Russian propaganda is more about extrapolating things well out of order rather than fabricating fake news. They also omit facts against their side, but that's a constant for mass media.

Russian sources love to speak of the enemy in general as holder of a certain ideology. They also like to repeat that civilian casualties and destroyed buildings are unilaterally caused by the other side, mostly by bombing the places they retreat from.

The first claim is obviously wrong since Ukrainians are just defending themselves. I've only heard proof of the second from eyewitness testimonies, yet I've seen real footage of Russian tanks firing at 20-story buildings and hysterical volunteers taking turns at blasting RPGs in empty, silent streets.

The point of a language isn't to provide lots of jobs, but to be a tool that solves business problems, and Rust excels in a niche where there are no other serious players, writing safe and performant code. It has plenty of traction in that niche, look at AWS Firecracker or Cloudflare's Pingora that was unveiled just this week.

There may not be a ton of jobs compared to making web sites. But that's a totally different world from where Rust is strong. Deep in the stack, Rust is a pretty big player already and will be even more important in the future. People working down there would profit from learning Rust, not just to be attractive for new jobs, but because they will most likely find uses for it in their current job.
I think if the system behaviour is a data structure then data structures can be loaded during runtime and again later on, this is a bit similar to Entity Component System, entities can come and go at runtime and be efficiently handled.

If you combine this with dynamic embedded scripting, you can have runtime systems that are completely reloadable while running. You can also decide when to serve requests with the new design and old design.

I'm trying to bring the patch to the application itself rather than at the network layer.
I think a classic rebuttal is "would you be OK with a bakery owner turning down people of color based on religion"? How is turning down homosexuals any different?

Genuinely curious what your take is. I think the topic of the bakery owners is so widely known because of this. As the other reply said, and your discussion has continued: I believe that it ultimately comes down to what has "arbitrarily" been decided as a protected group. ("Arbitrarily" in quotes because it is ultimately the American political system in this case, and that's not really arbitrary.)
"After numerous pints of Guinness he left the pub and set sail for home even though he was certainly three sheets to the wind" sounds reasonable to my ear.
That reading social media (including hacker news) and news is mostly addiction and is a huge waste of time because it has little relevance to your life. The mechanism is similar to gambling where most of the stuff you do find on these sites is irrelevant but once in a blue moon there's something interesting and it makes you keep coming back for more!
Hi user1029384756 - Tobie here, founder of SurrealDB. It's just a team of 2 of us at the moment, with the intention to grow the team very soon!

At the moment (as you have noted) the underlying storage engine is RocksDB (in single mode) or TiKV (in distributed mode), however, although we will always support deployment on top of these solutions, we intend to add our own embedded and distributed key-value stores in due course, which will offer different functionality in the long run!

We're looking to improve our roadmap page really soon to show exactly what we have planned / working on in the near term. In the meantime our features page https://surrealdb.com/features shows details most of the functionality that is already built, or coming in the future.
It's with a grudging sort of respect but nonetheless a massive respect that I acknowledge that Rust is the best-marketed thing on the Internet in my 30 years on it.

The organization, sophistication, and effectiveness of the Rust marketing vehicle would trivially win political contests as big as a United States Senate race.

vi/emacs, c/c++/java flame wars are as old as dirt, just like left/right politics in any polity you care to name with ballot stations. But where I live in the US, e.g. MAGA (or it's prototype "Tea Party") was Something New, and those that failed to realized that we'd changed paradigms got, pardon my francais, fucking clobbered.
That's honestly fair enough, but then neither is AirBNB, Instagram and Uber.
It’s my name.
Great advice, wish I knew that earlier in my life. I mean the start small and finish experience. I have so many ambitious abandoned projects, I even lost track xD
I just use my name too.
Ask HN: What games are you having fun with?
Someone in another thread mentioned they purchased an RTX 3090 for Minecraft, which sounds awesome, but seems excessive, only because I'm not having as much fun with games atm.

So, what games are you having the most fun with, other than Factorio and Cities Skylines?

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate and argue that it is next to impossible in the best of circumstances to successfully prove a negative.

It's like trying to prove god(s) don't exist. You can keep on arguing, but ultimately you can't prove the negative with absolute certainty without going to insane ends.

Youtube's algorithms could be either hot garbage or the best thing since sliced bread, but it doesn't matter. Youtube can never prove certain ads will never play on certain videos, so the only options are to refuse such requests from advertisers (which is unacceptable for Youtube) or just blanket block certain videos from playing ads period.

For HN it's a character from the Discworld series, but generally I'll use a partial anagram of my real name.

For example, the name "Jonathan Doe Smith" can be changed to "Damian Jones Thoth", so I would drop the "Thoth" and just make it damianjones.

That could be handled much better in that case. "Dear valued customer"... You know that I haven't logged in over 10 year, don't use the service and never paid anything. I'm not a valued customer.

Why not just write: Hey, we notice that your account isn't actively use, click here to close it.
Wait until you see the energy this thing gives off if not properly built.
My mother runs a healthcare center that had a ransomware attack from Iranian hackers during the pandemic. For a few days during the peak of the pandemic their IT systems stopped working and it impacted operations. I think it was a common practice to wait for an opportune crisis to strike. That probably resulted in more people dying from the pandemic.
My first reaction on receiving this email was that is was a scam / phishing thing, then after checking that the URLs were genuine, I thought perhaps they'd been hacked somehow.

Good luck to them trying to charge me for a free account that I used for 1 week more than 10 years ago, I'm fascinated to see how this 'revenue hacking' strategy works for them.
Yes it is the same talk, because too many keep writing C in C++, that is unavoidable when the language are 90% compatible at copy-paste level, people are stuck on their own ways without reason to upgrade themselves, and too many students still learn C++ the way it was taught pre-C++98.

Many of those practitioners, do indeed do great talks, but they also live in a bubble far away from 9-5 C++ coders that put out most code.

I advise a CppOnSea 2022 talk, "help me my team is stuck in 90's".
I would say though, they did run a good business. Trello and stackoverflow were both great successes.

I liked fogbugz back then but they clearly pivoted out of it and stopped really marketing it or even developing new features for it a long time ago.
This is pretty standard for B2B software that is licensed at a user or node level or similar.
C++ is a continually evolving language. It's becoming a legacy only due to people thinking hasn't really changed the past few decades, something that isn't the case.
The dynamo of the Rust marketing machine is as much a mystery to me as it is to you, but while I might gripe a bit on the way (and I do), it's pretty clear at this point that you'd better know it well if you want to be conversant in the randomly sampled piece of code 3-5 years from now.

I bitch about it because it's fucking annoying, but that didn't stop me from learning it well. My principles come above being a sycophant, but not above knowing the compiler stack on the language I'll be mostly writing in 3-5 years.
I stole it from enlightenment.
48 bits lets you have 256 terabytes of addressable memory. If you go to 56 bits, you get ~64 petabytes of addressable memory. 48 bits is probably good for 5-10 years as we hit the limits of process shrinks. 56 bits should be good for a quite a bit longer. This is all assuming we don't find some magical memory tech that lets us add orders of magnitude more memory without needing absurd amounts of cooling and power.
Hopefully, just so they learn to not go around buying debts made by auto-upgrade bs
Haha, more of a necessity, but yes, it is very nice to have.

The article suggests that wealthier subsets of the populations live longer in other wealthy countries than America and wealthy Americans generally do have access to healthcare[1]. And immigrants to the US also live particularly long so maybe they are wealthy and get good healthcare or maybe there’s something else to it.

The article also suggests some issues may be due to the way cities in the US are laid out which doesn’t really result from some kind of corporate propaganda or conspiracy, but then Canadian cities are quite similarly laid out.

It seems like a pretty messy nuanced topic that can’t be reduced to single US policies.

[1] perhaps their wealthy groups were eg 80%ile of the population by wealth and biased differently due to how people make money in different countries, or perhaps you need a smaller group for wealthy Americans to perform better, or perhaps they picked some dollar threshold so the American group was proportionally poorer or broader as America is richer in general. I don’t really know how that comparison was made though.
Looking at the features page, this feels like inappropriate criticisms.

There's plenty of functionality implemented to make it a workable database. It's also still in beta...

I only played around with it for half an hour, but superficially it seems to work fine already.
That's interesting, why is it not being used by PC enthusiast. I haven't seen one incorporated as a PC cooling system.
Yes. It seems bizarre to me. There are ads in the physical Sunday newspaper right next to a story about a murder. I don't assume the advertiser supports murder.

Do people actually think ads mean the company's approve of the messages of the content? It doesn't make sense to me. I don't see a terrorist video and think man Proctor and Gamble sure loves terrorists. An ad is just something unrelated to the content on the page, like the buttons. The YouTube logo is on the page. Does that mean I'm supposed to think YouTube stands behind everything on there? Because that's going to get real problematic real quick.

This seems easily solvable if Google just strong-armed them. Stand up and say "We will serve your ads on all our content or none of it". Like it really seems like they have the demographic advertisers want. There'd be some gnashing of teeth, but they'd get over it I'm sure.
If I understand what you're saying, this is to be expected from any mature ecosystem:

The basic things have been solved by libraries that everyone generally prefers to use.

Wanna write a JSON parser? You can, but there's a library for it. And so on.

For the purpose of learning the basics, you can either disregard the library, or you can write an app that uses a bunch of libraries.

Recently I got back to Baldur’s Gate 1 (not Enhanced Edition, which -to me- is an abomination).

I play Baldur’s Gate every half year or so. Trying to complete the game without dying once with my character. So far I never succeeded. At some point I’d like to complete BG1 and then continue into BG2, ToB.

A short while ago I also played Iratus: Lord of the Dead. Pretty easy to finish to completion, which was quite fun, but not very replayable imo. It’s more accessible than The Darkest Dungeon though …

Perhaps half a year ago I played Lands of Lore 1 (didn’t finish yet). Was a lot of fun.
Or just use Org Mode and let spaced repetition do the work. Learning doesn't have to be a chore.
