Is there room for anything else on Tinder? Or other dating apps? Do people on those sites care? Debatable. Obviously looks are not the only factor in a relationship, but they are a major one, especially in longer term relationships, and are often the only factor.

Evidence from 2014 craigslist personals: https://incels.wiki/images/6/61/Juggernaut_test_2014.jpg

Looks unmatched couples are unstable and the better looking partner is at elevated risk of monkey branching.
Yes, and I think it's a fair argument, which then leads to some reasonable conclusion. In a modern country, most people don't believe that people should put their life at undue risk, even if that makes the system less efficient. I happen to agree with this.

My open question again was not about whether to draw a line, like your mining example, but rather where we draw it.

I just happen to be of the opinion that gig workers, and miners working in dangerous conditions, happen to fall on opposite sides of that line.
From what I gather, the projects have quite different goals.

CppFront:

> My specific goal is to explore the question: Can we make C++ 10x safer, simpler, and more toolable if C++ had an alternative "syntax #2," within which we could be completely free to improve semantics by applying 30 years' worth of C++ language experience without any backward source compatibility constraints?

SPECS:

> We propose an alternative text-based syntactic binding (called SPECS) for the existing semantics of the C++ language.

So while SPECS is semantically equivalent to C++ as it is today, CppFront isn't bound by that constraint.

Sutter makes this very clear later in the README:

> Important disclaimer: This isn't about 'just a pretty syntax,' it's about fixing semantics.

Just to be clear, my intent isn't to diminish Conway's work in any way. Both are interesting projects, just with different goals.
If like myself you are confused as to what the byte Ordered Mark has to do with weather, BoM is the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

Triple dipping refers to this being the third year of La Niña in a row.
So it will be available again in the future, but it's not available right now anymore.

I guess everyone here lives someplace with abundant water. When water supplies are actually limited, using water for one purpose means water isn't available for something else.

Edit:

I know nothing about European water supplies, but with a quick search I found news suggesting that is an issue even in Europe:

I would try to game plan meeting new people by increasing your exposure to new groups and activities, come up with a list of short and long term goals and action items. I started ramping with meetups I found online.
Maybe it's better to think on it in terms of the flexibility of Uber's services when they were a mere startup and their evolution over time (business strategy, finances, app development and deployment, etc) and the myriad of ways so-called consumers, according to the article, took advantage of them and now, more government regulation.

I knew of someone who made it his full time occupation to drive for Uber (and still does today) despite the hurdles of being involved in that structure. I also know of another who drove to supplement his existing income stream (during covid19) to make his ends meet.
It does not matter how you reach a bad outcome. Be it through legal and moral means, be everything legitimate, a bad outcome is a bad outcome.

And if that is bad for the society, that must be addressed. Because, 'Oh, its just happened so' cannot fix things.
> ... This is work that is 5+ years old.

And yet it was released today, in a way that clearly a reaction to Carbon (which is, itself, a reaction to Rust and perhaps Swift to a lesser extent). The comparison is highly relevant.
I think it's due to people working in badly setup monorepos:

- CI/CD that runs on the entire thing

- merge policy that requires branch being up-to-date even for FF merges

- I once spent an entire day trying to merge a PR because CI for other people changes was taking N minutes, but mine was N + 1 minutes. I kid you not, I resigned a week after that day because I just couldn't.

- Messy organization within the repo

- People wanted tag releases, so every single service within monorepo was on the same version and some of had months since last activity

- Whole kitchen sink in one repo: terraform, Ansible, source code, fucking debian packages, secrets (sop) whatever else VPoE thinks is part of engineering.

- include over an include in pipeline files (this was GitLab CI) that is impossible to navigate because of name collisions.

You gripes about many-repos are IMO wrong, though. If you have to duplicate things, then you're doing it wrong.
Well, you did get a whole bunch of fix for C++ in 2011...
I hunted for this sound for 2 days in CDMX. Where? what? who? but most of all why?

It was all very delicious and satisfying in the end, like finding the pot at the end of the rainbow.

The experience of standing next to a personal steam engine, on a street at night, in Mexico, being served platano covered with condensed milk and cinnamon is one of the reasons why I enjoy travel.

Yeah, I think you're right about burn out. It's starting to feel more like work/effort and not enjoyable.
You meant *illegal immigrants right?
:_ appears to mark it as a generic type parameter, the `hello` function in the example ought to be equivalent to this straight C++:

template<typename T>
void hello(T msg) {
std::cout << "Hello " << msg << "\n";
}

hello: (msg: _) = {
std::cout << "Hello " << msg << "\n";
}

I kind of like this, actually, because so many people I've worked with are afraid of templates in C++, but they seem to have no trouble with essentially equivalent code using generics (in other statically typed languages) or dynamically typed languages where it "just works" (until it doesn't). Not that we'll be adopting this any time soon, but I suspect they'd be more amenable to this form when `template` seems to make them quake in their boots.
Ideally a monorepo doesn’t run all tests all the time, but only the ones that need to based on a given change. Unfortunately, there’s no great tooling for this. Bazel works well sometiems depending on your project, and Nix is sort of in the same boat. Both are beasts to learn. But I think it’s mostly a solvable problem, and the reason there aren’t better offerings is because of the sheer effort involved in building these systems.
From the link:

"I'm sharing this work because I hope to start a conversation about what could be possible within C++’s own evolution to rejuvenate C++, now that we have C++20 and soon C++23 to build upon."

Clearly this is relevant for c++ itself (coming from Sutter), so I'd say it's quite unfair/misguided to call it "just a distraction from more relevant efforts."
I don't think any package outside of one particular R one offers that functionality premade, as it's not a particularly common configuration.
You get invocations of the reductio ad Hitlerum fallacy.
Brilliant insight. I've always heard this advice, and recognize how difficult it is to follow, so I'll be sure to keep this in mind.
It’s comments like yours actually that make me lose faith in HN. It’s a lazy argument parroted by activist with no actual contact with people who drive for Uber.

Most Uber drivers are happy because they can select their hours and the more they work the more money they make. It’s pretty simple. They aren’t poor, stupid uneducated masses that need saving by the likes of you. Your elitist views looking down on their ability to discern what is good for them is exactly why Trump disastrously won and we all suffered. And unfortunately why the Republicans will probably win again in 2024.
Evergreen notes turn ideas into objects that you can manipulate
Doing exactly this at a new organisation I recently joined.

We are treating it as an experiment. Got 2 teams with 5/6 Devs in each sharing the same monorepo. We are using nx.dev as the build tool and it's going pretty well so far.

Different tech stacks too but using nx.dev thats been abstracted away. Allows us to share practices and we've built out the CI/CD and supporting infrastructure on AWS together which has certainly saved duplication of effort. Possibly one more team coming on board too.

If in the future it's not paying off we can always split. Doesn't need to be a forever decision, is how we are viewing it.
Very few of these 13 year old accounts are going to have valid card data on file, though. Any cards that were valid back then have long since expired. Seems to me that they're just spamming a bunch of people for no reason?
Would you be upset if somebody shot you? Why! It's perfectly reasonable that given enough time and proximity to the inherent risk of life that among the billions of people on earth that you would be in a situation where it resulted in you being shot? Seems logical to me?

Sometimes people want the world to be better than the bare minimum. And sometimes but clearly not in your case they feel sympathy and empathy.
> It is perhaps telling that had Jefferson made such comments in the media of today where anybody could actually read it, he would likely be actively censored - his comments and his person alongside. And his receiving a visit from men in black would not be a surprise either, especially if he somehow managed to still keep communicating with society at large in spite of the censorship efforts.

Possibly. The government of the time was fundamentally different from the modern one. At the time, Adams administration and that Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, granting broad authority to punish treasonous speech. Jefferson and Madison responded by spearheading laws in Virginia to basically say those Acts were void.

Of course, then there was a civil war and states don't have that authority anymore (with good reason).

At least they could try instead of impeaching Trump and investigating Jan 6. They should push some version of Medicare for all.
One of the judges issued a partial concurrence and partial dissent.
The worse is that even if you had to pay for it by yourself. The price is clearly conflated compared to the service provided.
We initially built it on mobile just to gauge people's interest, since we only asked a few friends before setting out to build. However, if enough people like it, we will definitely whip up a desktop view as well!
I do not have hard facts but bear with me. I always thought matplotlib interface/abstractions (as in, the code you write) felt shoehorned somehow. One day I tried the plotting in R lang and it was so natural. I felt like matplotlib was a somehow unnatural port of it.

It is one of those projects that work, but feels weird. I think of it as I think of pandas or celery.
I find it disappointing that the enhancements aren't explained one by one, or even listed. How am I supposed to decide if it's worth a deep dive?
>and waste resources testing all of that executable code for every change

If it's a waste why is it even running those tests? That's it's own problem.
> Known as a “triple-dip,” a three-year La Niña stint has only occurred three times since record keeping began: from 1954 to 1957, 1973 to 1976, and from 1998 to 2001.

So basically every 20 or so years and the last one was about 20 years ago.
Terrible paywall

But, why do we rely on corporations to provide basic income and healthcare to BEGIN with? Isn't it better if the government provides a social safety net to ANYONE (employed or unemployed)?

Healthcare maybe. But the income argument taken to the extreme: if no one works, society will cease to function. When you work for a corporation you are trading your effort for wages. It seems reasonable to pay a living wage to someone working 40 hours a week. They are contributing to society and shouldn't have to struggle.
In any other developed country there are some cost controls on health care. Without that universal health care will never work.
Garbage comment from an uninformed SW engineer: How, in the current economic and geopolitical environment, can they project that production costs will continue to decline?

Green tech requires massive amounts of dirty energy to produce. It also has been benefiting from globalization which is now going in reverse. I would add at least 5 years to any timeline given because of the recalibrating global energy and materials supply chains will be undergoing over time.

We're probably short of copper. Is anyone figuring out a way to use aluminum as a substitute in many applications? We can work around several of the other critical shortages(nickel, cobalt, not-so-rare rare earths, lithium) in time, either with alternatives or increased extraction, but copper seems like a tough one.

There is a lot of wishful thinking or naivete in the political class driving these transitions. I agree that we need to move rapidly to decarbonize but there seems to be a lack of appreciation for the actual work involved in the transition. There is also a parasite-class of folks whispering deceitful tales in the ears of politicians(ahem, hydrogen, ahem) which really only cares about getting their cut.

Politicians need to understand you don't just order solar panels and batteries off Amazon. Someone needs to make them, and that someone better be a country you're not in a proxy war or a hot war with. We need to invest in practical measures not just fairy tales that leave us in the dark for a decade or more while we figure out hard lessons.

That's an interesting claim. I believed most of it would be recyclable, at least the packaging types (PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP).
Your point is wrong. Pretty much every other western country has much better health care than the US, better outcomes, less disease, longer life. People say they don't want to be like Canada- yet in Canada people have better outcomes than america.

It's just a lazy argument to say central planning fails in healthcare, because it generally works well in other countries.

CppFront is supposed to be 100% link-compatible with the existing C++ ABI. Even if that isn't "semantically equivalent" in a strict sense, it's so close that it makes no real difference.
This is pretty incredible. I've always the Internet being something like this, and so many apps prevent this. I like the way it looks, is it frontend built in Vue?
It's been done before. See: the Fairness Doctrine for TV, or common carrier laws for phones.
Yeah, internet content laws are becoming increasingly conflicting. On one hand, you have places that are making it more difficult to legally moderate websites. On the other, you have legislation like SESTA and FOSTA where websites are being held legally responsible for content that others may post on the website.

Section 230 was an unusually great piece of internet legislation, and it's not great to see it start to crumble with these new changes. Just let every site be its own site.
Well you kind of need to ever since the dislike count was removed.
I answered it. We draw the line where there are demonstrable harms to society and when information or power asymmetry is not avoidable, which externalizes costs onto society as a whole.
Not mentioned: The increase in poor audio mixing that sounds like it was done by a monkey in addition to the prevalence of devices with speakers crammed in odd directions inside of enclosures that are in no way, shape, or form big enough to contain them. If there was one advantage of the days of big tube TVs it was you had plenty of space to also fit big speakers in too
Some companies have basically skirted many existing regulations and worker protections by using the gig worker tax classification, to avoid being on the hook for certain basics like healthcare coverage even though they are acting as the primary employer for a large amount of people.
I agree, but you’re being pedantic. Most discussions people have not about political topics wouldn’t be viewed as such even if individual decisions, such as your brand example, were politically motivated.
The vital difference is that vulcanic eruptions are basically a pulse-chase 'experiment', whereas geoengineering would require sustained injections with smaller doses.
> But there’s a reason this stuff was invented in the US and not elsewhere.

And that reason is the immense amounts of liquidity that both the US Federal Reserve and the private banks who are allowed to do fractional reserve lending, pump into the US economy. Thanks to the US dollar not losing value when that happens because it is (or was) used as the exclusive reserve currency due to the Gulf countries exclusively selling their oil for dollars until recently.

When you have THAT much free money, its impossible to not invest and innovate. And now that the reserve currency status of the US is challenged and some of the dollars that were used to buy stuff in the international trade is flowing back to the US and causing inflation, we are seeing how the investment landscape totally changed. With SV firms trying to reach profitability, doing layoffs, Twitter and Facebook being questioned as to the profitability etc.

This is before the fact that there is immense innovation elsewhere but you just are not aware of that since the US media need to sell US stocks. Therefore they drum the US businesses up. All of them talk about Elon Musk or whatever hot investment unicorn is coming up incessantly instead of what anyone in any other tech ecosystem is doing.

All court activism is corruption; their job is not to make law or have political opinions of any sort, they should be slaves to the text of the law, not bending it to their will.
The admins, who are paid employees, also engage in similar suppression by banning subreddits they dislike.

Proof? Read about how reddit suppressed dissent during the pandemic.

I'm not going to post any particular link because the topic is too political and every source (left and right) spins things in some way that I dislike.

The facts, without spin, are these: reddit banned and/or quarantined many anti-lockdown subs. Initially, they said they would not, because "Dissent is a part of Reddit and the foundation of democracy", but ultimately, they did.
Most Python projects aren't this tough. I suspect that they're using wonky libraries like Pandas, Numpy or some such that prioritize raw power over ease of installation.

This comment genuinely makes no sense to me. If you are going to leverage extremely strong analogies, like indentured servitude, then you need to justify that. It seems like you are disappointed by any conversation that doesn't mix up idealism with what's realistic, and what is going on.

A request for explanation almost by definition cannot be a strawman. Just because you disagree with the context of that question does not justify such a shallow, emotional response.

I thought about it poorly initially. I modeled it simply as pay drop for a learning period with greater exposure to the whole thing (I tried building out one arm of a company). In my case, I should have just founded at the time.

A close friend of mine actually helped. The short form is: I'm in my mid-30s, so the majority of my compensation and wealth is still in my future so long as I can keep the engine running. So I optimize to keep the engine running. Some time that may be a couple of years in big tech so you have the amount of money that removes financial anxiety from your life. The rest of the time that may be years in startups because big tech is a low productivity environment.

This may be different for you, but I don't want to stop working so so long as macro stuff stays sane, I will probably be doing things into my 60s. That means that endurance is more important than power.
Gig work normalizes the loss of the overall labor protections / amenities that were wrought so hard during the 19th and 20th century.

Here in The Netherlands flexible labor and temporary rental contracts were introduced last decade, they were meant to increase the fluidity of both markets and take up a small amount of overall contracts, but have started to dominate both of them. Being on either basically erodes any certainty you could have had as a foundation to build your life on.

Gig work is even worse than flexible contracts. Not only can you be ditched at any moment, in many ways you are considered self-employed which strips you of so many protections normally afforded to you. And whereas self-employed software developers (read: freelancers) are in an extremely powerful economic position, the usual gig worker has almost zero leverage. ‘Nuff said.
> This is not about freedom, it's about control, and this is only the beginning. I wonder where it will end?

Yeah, its not about freedom. Who told you that it was. Society exists only because there is a commonly accepted framework for making a society and keeping it. You cant just do anything you want. Try sh*tting on the road in front of your neighbor's house tomorrow. Try doing it naked. Look how freedom is limited.

That you internalized existing rules and restrictions does not make you any more 'free'.
It turns out that there actually are several subjects that are pretty well defined to be "politics," and there are lots of subjects of conversation that are definitely not "politics." There is a gray area, and as a forum moderator you can choose where the line is as long as you apply the rule consistently. Most of the discussion about this right now is about the consistent application of those rules: people point out one side getting moderated more heavily on certain forums than the other side.
I don’t this particular topic is the one on which to make that point:
