C++'s option and result types are much larger, uglier, and harder to use correctly than Rust's. The shift from throwing to returning a Result is not really an increase in complexity- closer to a reshuffling of syntax.

But that's not really all that relevant either, because comparing languages at this level of detail misses the forest for the trees. An interesting comparison takes a step back and compares which problems the languages (try to) solve. Often something that appears to be a clear win for one or the other turns out to be a non-issue.

Does "gender gap" here matter more than what larger fractions show? For example, they say "women desire more Affirmation" but 49% have it as a top two while 56% have "time" in the top two. Men also have 54% for time in the top two. I feel like that's more interesting than looking at percentage differences (which tbh don't really seem to matter that much for this statistic).

EDIT: a striking example of this, they say "women give more gifts" in terms of LL they express, as a finding. But only 32% have this as a top two expressed LL, so a good majority of women don't even have gifts as a top two expressed LL. So, who cares about the percent difference 8%, does it matter? What does it even mean? What if 1% of men did X vs 9% of women? Why would the interesting takeaway be "wow, women are more likely than men to do X!!" vs. "gee, a sheer minority of people do X at all."

Saying the words "women are more likely than men to do X" leaves the reader unfortunately with the impression "many women do X," whereas that might not be true.

It's different when every single app gets a review and these behaviors can be controlled at a bottleneck.

Your analogy is more apt if Apple decided they would only display websites that did X. And websites might pretend to do X for a little while, and then quit. And there's billions of them, not enough enforcers, and no simple bottleneck where they pass/fail BEFORE being released.
> Thank you for the heads up but I'm surprised "females" has become controversial. … When did the norms change?

It is still not uncommon to see the word used that way in scientific text, official documentation, and data collection forms, though in those contexts the word male is probably near-by too so “female” isn't being used in isolation. Even in those places it is less common than it used to be.

Over the last ~decade referring to women as females, particularly in less formal contexts like discussions here often are, has become associated with incels & similar individuals/groups. They use it as a pejorative term, deliberately¹ using the technically-correct-but-unnecessarily-formal word as a way of distancing from women, suggesting they are a lower form², or blaming women for the unfair distancing the speaker perceives³. Then again they use almost every word as a pejorative term at some time or other, they seem to have a lot of negative brain wiring of which their attitude to genders may be but one of many symptoms.

That needs expanding though. A good Common Lisp compiler, e.g. SBCL, does perform a bunch of checks for correctness during compilation, which can further improved upon by adding static type declarations. The (C)Python interpreter o.t.o.h. does verify only the syntax in the most shallow way. Type hints there can be used by a linter (and perhaps by an alternative or future implementation of the Python interpreter), but I don't think such type hints were available at the time Reddit chose Python.

Python's significant indentation might make the source code more (human) readable (and that's really it's magic power), but poses a challenge during refactoring.

Without question you'll find more easily competent Python programmers than Common Lisp programmers, but that Common Lisp would lead to more fragile code isn't as obvious.

Its a Drupal 7 site so every content item has a publication date in the db since it is part of the root data schema for posts/pages and all sub-types. In their case they have at least two content types in their news page. All of the "News" type articles do display the date but the template for "Research" articles does not display it. It is possible this was deliberate but most likely it just was in the default news template and when they created a custom template for the research articles they based it on the default page template which doesn't include a date line.

No, the problem is people who use to ruin religion have now joined politics and science (which are now also one in the same). Science is not supposed to have society 'relying off it'.

science is just a tool to help you prove if a hypothesis is backed by evidence, or is not. NOTHING ELSE. it does not tell you if you should go outside, it does not even tell you if something is true or false. In fact, our universe may not even be one that is built on a 'fundamental truth'.

> It was not designed to handle deliberate attacks designed to sow doubt for ulterior motives.

Then you dont understand science, not even a little because that's exactly what it was designed for. attacks makes science stronger, not weaker. an argument hat has been given no attack is a weak argument. the strange notion that science has a fundamental truth that people are supposed to just believe because a subset of individuals says so is troubling.

It's funny because I thought Marc Fleury was a jerk. I was also a jerk at the time. We didn't get along at all. He also ended up making about $500m+ on our hard work when he sold to RHAT. Not to say that he didn't work hard, but if it wasn't for Tomcat and our work to popularize Servlets, JBoss might not have ever existed or been as successful.

Many many years later, he and I ended up as very good friends and he's still a lot more wealthy than I am or probably will ever be. I simply ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ off his far greater wealth to my own karma of being a jerk at the time. I also stopped being a jerk. =) A good lesson there for sure.
> "tautological" comes generally from logical reasoning as a field (in which i have interest but no formal training). is that what you're asking? it's "circular reasoning": a (usually hidden) premise comes around to "prove" the causal chain, which means it's not really proven at all, but merely reasserted. it's a pretty common logical mistake to fall for, because it's hard to detect without that close reading (the platitude that "falsehoods can travel the world before truth has had breakfast" comes to mind here as well).

The degree to which humanity runs on tautological reasoning is the part that I find interesting. And I very much agree with the "pretty common logical mistake to fall for" part - I've encountered very few even intelligent people who are highly resistant to it, at least on certain topics (generally: culture war topics, or anything from a non-deterministic problem space).

> i think political scientists do research the multidimensionality of issues all the time. it's just that politicization (as in partisan politics) wants to collapse the problem space into memes that can lodge in people's brains without further thinking, and simpler (binary) memes are more easily remembered and propagated.

Agree...

> in any case, the standard remedies certainly include voting reform (to lessen the incentive towards this binary collapse), parliametary systems (accommodating multiparty coalition-building), federalism (smaller governments are more responsive to the local populace), direct democracy or finer representation, etc.

It would be interesting to see what the world would be like if we actually ever tried these "reforms" instead of only talking about them. It is bizarre to me how no one seems to notice that we only talk about certain things, year after year, decade after decade, while simultaneously becoming angry at how suboptimal the world is....it's like "Well duh, what do you expect!!??? lol".

I'm no longer living in Iran for a few years, so this is based on my close friends' observations, not mine.

People are doing their best and the riots are intensifying. But the riot police is using warfare to scatter them and when it does not work, they fire directly into the crowd, killing and wounding many. People have no way to fight back.

Sanctions are a serious problem for a SWE who lives in Iran. It's almost impossible to work for a foreign company. 40+ years of 40%+ inflation has hurt the economy so bad that more and more people are going down the Maslow's hierarchy. Lots of internet services (youtube, facebook, twitter, telegram, to name a few) are blocked by the government. Many others block requests from Iran because of sanctions. You cannot download java from the official source, you can guess the rest. Any paid service is out of question, as the country is shut off from international money transfer. Even after migrating to a western country, I still cannot work for any of the big American companies, until I become a PR of this new country. While I was working in another country, banks were afraid of opening an account for me and eventually gave me an account with no internet banking and no credit card.

I've been checking out HN for many years. It's the only remaining social network of like minded people, that has managed to stay clean of what infects others.

> As a foreigner it's striking to me how little wool is worn here in the US.

This one has always surprised me as well. I wear wool socks, wool underwear, and a wool undershirt/t-shirt every day. I got into the habit while traveling as a digital nomad, because wool is so good at temperature regulation that it actually works well in any climate. Just a thin layer of wool will help you to both feel cooler when in hot weather and warmer when in cold weather, and this works even when wool is wet (unlike cotton).

There's definitely an increased cost to doing this, but wool clothing items tend to also be more durable (and easier to fix through mending and darning) than other clothes, and it packs well because wool doesn't produce wrinkles in the same way as other materials.

It seems though that there is at least some appreciation for wool in the US for those who like technical clothing or who do outdoors activities.

I'm not sure I see it as "taking advantage of"; if code is engaging in the UB of writing to invalid pointers, there could still have a race condition where calloc() appears to be returning non-zeroed memory, simply because the invalid pointer write happened after the clear.

In my opinion, the article is lacking for not including the actual new code or sentences from the code.
The model I hope we eventually get to is using an open protocol like Matrix. You start with a free hosted service a la Slack/Discord. As you grow you start paying them a (reasonable) fee. If you grow huge you can switch to VPS or in-house hosting to manage costs. Never at any point would your users need to know what's happening behind the scenes.

I just think of a crash as a sudden drop in asset values, we've seen that so far. A recession I think of as negative GDP growth for a couple quarters at least (i know i know but this is a reasonable definition and you know it) which we've also seen so far. So this is a crash/recession. It doesn't mean it will necessarily wipe out X. I don't know why it has to be as severe as Dotcom or Housing crashes. Doesn't seem to be a requirement to me. It has been incredibly severe for unprofitable tech companies looking for VC funding to keep them going indefinitely at least.

Both. Lowering blood circulation decreases the ability of muscles, ligaments and tendons to self-repair. Among other things, cold lowers blood flow (and viceversa). That's why people warm up before stretching.

I don't really agree with this. Rush Limbaugh successfully ran a platform on mostly entirely television that deeply poisoned the cultural landscape of the USA at the time (he was defending Reagan's neglect of HIV/AIDS and playing "another one bites the dust" when Freddie Mercury died), and laid the foundation on current polarized rhetoric strategies. He spread lies that Obama wasn't a natural born citizen. He blamed volcano eruptions on the Affordable Care Act. So on and so forth. It's spurious to claim that outrage bait on television hasn't messed up people's brains just because the internet is doing a better job at it. They're just modeling what television was already successfully doing.
Synthetics do weigh less, and there's definitely a place for them, but this is not without trade-offs. If you're purely trying to warm up, synthetics are superior to wool, but if you want to assist body temperature regulation across a wider temperature band, wool is actually superior to synthetics.
