Half truth, the green parties wanted a replacement, solar and wind.

They only wanted gas as a switch off / switch on power source, you cant do that with nuclear.

Instead, people protested also against wind and solar and we switched to cheap gas from Russia.

Which the green parties didn't want at all..
> But also before you consider healthcare, transportation, higher cost of living in some desirable areas, lack of time off, lack of any employee protections, dismal social safety nets if you fall on bad times. And for people who need that, no maternity leave, expensive childcare, etc.

Let me try to add some more concreteness to this. I work for a major US tech company in Western Europe in a "second class" tech hub (i.e., not London or Zurich, but with most of the major tech companies present). Total compensation is low six figures, which is over 1.5x what I was offered by large European companies.

On my payslip, my net is about 55% of the gross. I then pay 25% of the net as my half of the rent, and 20% for childcare (in theory you could get it much cheaper, but in practice there are no available spots). On average I've paid 10% of net out-of-pocket for extra healthcare costs not covered by the mandatory insurance (which costs 15% of gross).

Compared to my previous job, my gross is now 2x but net 1.4x. My lifestyle is not meaningfully different than when I was making half the gross, I just accumulate some modest savings instead of breaking even. I still have no chance to own a home anywhere near the city I live in. I don't know how I could "work my way to a great lifestyle" here. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

Overall, my peers in the US have a significantly better lifestyle than me. What I do get that my peers in the US don't (AFAIK) is 30 days of paid holidays. Also my wife can get a year of maternity leave with reasonable benefits.

The worker benefits are pretty theoretical, since in practice I have to work well above the tracked hours to be competitive on the career track. I can also still be laid off on reasonably short notice if the company decides to cut costs. I would get 60% of my salary for a year from the state as unemployment, but I would typically not get any severance from the company.

It looks great. So far I have been using Numi and I can see a few advantages and disadvantages in both apps.

Numi:

+ lightweight

+ very fast start

- tabs are a paid feature

Figr:

+ variables

+ tabs

- slow start compared to Numi

- cannot customize the icon bar

What both apps dont have and what I am looking for: A super lightweight excel-like tables app to do basic calculations with formulas behind the cells. Do you know anything like that, guys?
Yes, I felt the same when I read the grandparent post! I am not a Rust nut (nor expert!), but the improvements offered seem very impressive. After reading your post, I immediately went to Google this phrase: "doubly-linked list in safe Rust". Plenty of good and interesting results!
Magnus & Nakamura and a handful of other grandmasters are basically the only reason why chess is not dead to the public; I'm not sure thriving is in the cards ever again for chess. Chess has a lot more to be grateful for with Magnus than not.

That's what Magnus is to the "general audience" with regards to chess, and it's going to take a lot for Magnus to be a net negative to chess. We are only making drama because Magnus is so good. Nobody would be blinking an eye if I failed to show up to a tournament, and my opponent would be glad to reap the points.

>Just mandate that the end-user/purchaser of the hardware should have the same level of control over the code execution as the manufacturer does after the sale. Whatever the manufacturer can do to your own unit after it's in your posession, you should be able to do as well.

I don't see how this changes much except to mandate Apple or any other hardware manufacturer to leave privilege escalation bugs in their software for the lifetime of the device.

Also, updates are generally user-initiated. If the unadvertised "functionality" of unauthorized code execution is patched, the user has only himself to blame, not the manufacturer.
Commercial FOSS software is in a weird situation

The code is open, so anyone can compile it for free, and when enough people care, any of them with a bit of free time is permitted to distribute builds, like people do for Ungoogled Chromium.

Also, the teams and organizations that create Free Software are often non-profit organizations and volunteers, where customer care and market analysis is nonexistent.

The idea of selling free software is something that I see a lot in theory but almost never in practice. Sometimes I think it was just Stallman preaching what was applicable in his time bit it's not realistic in today's world.
>> 1. Some items are from areas now controlled by very different people to those for whom the item was originally important. Do modern descendants of the Spanish have any moral claim to Aztec or Inca artefacts, for example?

> 1. Most Mexicans or Peruvians have indigenous ancestry, they are not exclusively (or even mostly) descendants of the Spanish. It would be better to return those artifacts to the descendants of those from whom it was stolen.

This is an "easy to say, near-impossible to do" task that's been shoved with little effort from the proposer onto the museum staff. Short of comprehensive DNA analysis, finding the proper descendants for a particular artifact is not trivial. The response given does not take into account multiple competing claims towards the artifact, nor the possibility of all descendants that could properly claim it being dead, whether natural or not.

>> 2. Some items have complex histories, where multiple competing countries could all claim it as part of their history. Where the item was found is not the end of the story. Items from Greece, Turkey, Cyprus for example.

> 2. Who has an even weaker claim than all other claimants? The British Museum.

Calling misdirection on this response: It does not properly address the original question posed.

In an attempt to give a proper solution: Items with histories from multiple countries will have to put it into a round-robin-style sharing agreement, where the item/artifact will pass through the countries one by one before circling back.
I think the idea is that at the end of the day, the money always come from individuals - that companies aren’t some nebulous, ethereal entities with no connection to real people, and so you should keep those individuals in mind when levying taxes.

(I’m personally pro taxes in general, including for corporations).
> toxic norms associated with masculinity such as the expectation of self-sufficiency

What? It's toxic to expect someone to be self-sufficient? I guess all our civilization was built on toxic grounds - it's amazing what all that toxicity accomplished though.

> People who "live self-destructive lives" have not always done so; at some point something has gone wrong in their lives. It is not an identity or (usually) an inborn personality trait, and "othering" people with addictions like that is simply an example of the correspondence bias and a part of the meme complex that maintains the status quo of homelessness.

I don't think I'm "othering" them (I'm not sure though, because I'm not sure what it means). I'm just describing their current situation. I'm not claiming there were born as petty thieves or alcoholics or will remain petty thieves or alcoholics for the rest of their lives.

The homeless alcoholics I personally know usually took a decade or more of gradually increasing selfish and antisocial behaviour to eventually end up on streets (as they've eventually used up the good will of everyone in their lives and no one was there to support them any more). What made them go down that path while people, who have as shitty lives as them or worse, stood on their feet - who knows? We don't understand human psychology to the degree to be able to answer that question.

BTW, I've recently re-read some Bukowski, and I think he's giving a good description of an inner life of a person with some self-destructive personality traits. In his case they were fairly mild, so he still managed to hold a job and be off the street most of the time. The real homeless I know have even more anger, self-pity, narcissism and/or straight up psychopathy. At least one of them is a straight-up predator, who's homeless because he finally ran out of people to prey upon.

Not for Italian, but I use a US keyboard layout with the addition of German umlauts behind right alt + letters (as well as right alt + ' and right alt + ` being dead keys to put accents on letters for foreign words). I find this much better than the standard German layout which puts all of @{[]}\~ behind right alt - and most of them on the right side of the keyboard too so you have to akwardly hit the right alt + combo with a single hand.

I've also hit on doing this as well. I find it really helps to organize my thoughts, uncover edge cases, etc before I start to write code.

Then I might start sketching the implementation with function signatures docs, types, loops and calls, and gradually start filling it in beginning with the parts that are less clear to me.
C/C++ target a fragmented mess that's different on every platform and inconsistent across projects. Technically you can invoke rustc the same way you invoke cc, and craft makefiles and handle all your dependencies the old way, but it's so tedious and fragile compared to Cargo that nobody wants to.
Right, I figured that's probably what you meant. One thing that had moderate success for me was searching for "book about flies" in comments, since this story is more likely to get mentioned in stories that are related. (bemused thought: what would a PageRank-like algorithm turn up if it were driven by HN comments linking to other HN threads?)

Of course, this is a much noisier way to search, as it also picks up mentions of Lord of the Flies.

Yes, that was Apple's stated intention, but we don't know whether that was sincere or just a bluff to buy time.
I currently switch between Go, Rust, Python, Java and Kotlin pretty regularly.

One minor thing that helped a lot was to have custom IDE settings for each (different code fonts, different background colours, etc.).

I found it helped get into the mindset of a language a bit quicker by having them differentiated (e.g. I can switch to window and know what language I'm dealing with without having to read any code).

The thing is, once you get it right in Rust it just works very, very well — and it generally works multithreaded with little additional effort.

The language causes you to rethink datastructures that were largely created in a single-core context. You can think up equivalent functionality that satisfies the Rust borrow checker but then also lets you trivially parallelize via something like Rayon.

Rc or Arc work for a double LL if you insist on pointers, or a wrapped owned vector with integer based references if you don’t want the overhead of reference counting. But to say “Rust doesn’t offer X” is just not true; you can build anything but it just takes more work and thought, and it is always worth it given the performance and bug classes automatically eliminated by that extra effort. And with unsafe code, you get bare metal access without the rules.

What a strange comment.

It’s true that building Rust projects is easy with cargo and hard without. But how did you go from that to “move-fast-and-break-things”? Could you give an example of a broken thing?

Rust has move semantics too (it's automatic and there are no moved-from leftover objects), but it adds borrow checking on top of that, which C++ doesn't have.
Can you give an example of what you mean, and what we'd gain from it?

As your quote says, the conservation work was a collaboration.

It has not been in New Zealand in nearly 200 years, so has not ever been in our national museum, Te Papa.

> There is no state-level propagation of ethnic hatred in Russia.

Perhaps, but there obviously is state-level propagation of hatred (that's you who added "ethnic"). It's enough to watch some recordings of top political shows on Russian state-ran channels to clearly see they express hatred (and do that on a regular basis), you don't even have to understand the words they speak.

Good for them if they don't propagate open racism, but they certainly do propagate hatred towards other countries (not necessarily ethnicities), their own citizens having different point of view, hatred towards sexual minorities (and that's not about the classic conservative stance to refuse accepting sexual minorities as a norm, that's open propagation of violent hatred).

That makes sense for early career Godard, mostly because at that point he was working in the similar milieu as the other New Wavers, and playing with the Hollywood form. At that point, American films were flooding into France following WWII and you could go to the Cinematheque Francaise and watch an entire director's ouvre in a day or two. Godard, Truffaut, and the other cinephiles used to spend hours watching movie after movie and began to notice the Hollywood styles and trends. When they went to make movies they brought that knowledge of Hollywood style, along with a punk sensibility revolting against the "ancien regime" of French film style.

Later Godard was far more intense and a difficult watch as he played with the form of filmmaking, digital video, and even his role as a director itself. His later stuff, like Goodbye to Language is fascinating but also, at times, difficult to get through and quite different than the direction that most New Wavers went, notably Truffaut who, if anything, got more and more accessible as his career progressed (and still made brilliant movies).

His history of film, Histoire(s) du cinema is probably must-watch viewing for any big-time cinephile / film buff. It is commentary on the entire 20th century by way of cinema.
Yeah, the salaries being touted around here aren't typical for a non hyper-inflated job market.

If it's always everyone else then it might be OP, but it'd be unfair to assume that. It's possible they've worked in a few teams of 10-15 people of which a couple were disruptive enough in some way that it was easier to move than to try to confront them or otherwise resolve it somehow
