Until climate change starts affecting our base hierarchy of needs, it's doomed to get more lip service than action. Outside of war efforts, have societies ever made sacrifices for the greater good?
This might be a stupid question. But is there performance degradation between versions of c++?

I saw a couple of stack overflow questions last week of people complaining about c++ 17 being slower 14, and 14 being slower than 11.

But I find it hard to believe. I just started learning c++ recently and can’t find a conclusive answer.
As a vegetarian of eight years, I can say that a meatless diet did not have any effect on my depressive episodes. I had them before I stopped eating meat, and I had them after. So based on my one person anecdata this is correlation (maybe a depressed person tries a lifestyle change to help themselves out of depression) but not causation.

In the scenario you posit, the market has to have consolidated around a few key players. Coinbase wins over Visa for instance. What incentive does CB then have to charge lower prices to merchants? Why shouldn't they help themselves to the same margins that Visa were enjoying?

> for the record, mental health is known to be much worse in the far-right and far-right libertarians

Every paper I've seen on the subject has pretty much monotonic improvement in reported mental health outcomes almost all the way to the right, and if there's any non-monotonicity, it's insufficient to come even close to the reported negative mental health outcomes on the far left. This is not a formal scientific paper, but the SSC survey has the benefit of tighter granularity and more heterodoxy than most sources.

Saying the equivalent of "no u" when no one else even brought up the USA is weird but I guess typically european way to deflect criticism . Not that comparing a regional blackout due to exceptional weather conditions, to a continent wide energy shortage cause by policy that has been going on for more than a year now makes any sense.

(Even quebec, which is very used to extreme winters, lost electricity for nearly a month back in 1998. On the other hand, I can't think of anything similar to this train wreck situation europe managed to get itself into, not since the 70s at least. So it is a pretty unique fuck up due to very bad policy, and one that's been happening in slow motion)

Advocates for and against are equally bought and paid for. Some of the loudest voices warning of climate change are still cruising around in some of the most inefficient, dirtiest vehicles on the planet. Hypocrisy is rife, orgs like the WEF are capitalizing on fear, and an industry around climate change has developed around it to bring in billions.

If you think pointing the finger at one group explains it all, I suggest you haven't looked deep enough. People have done to the noble quest against climate change what they always do to noble movements; it's been co-opted and corrupted.
Then let the science speak for itself. What annoys me most is the integration of greenwashing into advertising, and people _eat this up up like hotcakes_.

For example, Apple is not a green company by any objective measure. Their manufacturing process is absurdly water and energy intensive, and is based in countries that have some of the highest co2 emissions. They intentionally slow down and disable perfectly fine devices that have a lot of life left in them, encouraging rampart consumerism and ‘electronics as fashion wear’. They intentionally prevent people from repairing perfectly fine devices. Yet in their advertising and corporate culture, they plaster how ‘green’ they are but it reality one of the worst companies for the planet.

Ask HN: Eastern Europe and STEM has more women than Western Europe?
I'm trying to look for articles about women in STEM and Eastern Europe. I read on HN once that the approach of the Soviet Union in particular has something to do with it. So history plays a role?

If anyone knows more about this and has some good quality content on it, I'd appreciate it! :)

I find it hard to find (I typed in multiple search queries on HN but nothing came up).
You nailed it, I'm noticing the same thing. I'm sure there are many posts that don't get the attention they deserve, but what stands out more to me is how many of the frontpage post are BS with no meat in them. Anything with AI, Rust, useless startup platitudes/stories, etc is on the frontpage almost automatically, even if it's a shallow article that's just marketing and PR.

It almost feels like people just read the title and never check the actual content. At least I hope so, because if people actually find value in that useless content it'd be pretty sad.

There is also a lot of post manipulation going on. Articles on company blogs often have lots of boilerplate comments from newish 1-karma accounts.

> The C++ standard currently sits at >1800 pages. Looking through these examples, I'm honestly horrified.

I feel you're embelishing too much your personal feeling of horror. The C++20 standard doc is a hair smaller than 1900 pages, but the complete core language is specified in the first 460 pages, of which around 100 are dedicated to templates.

Thus around 1400 pages of a 1900page doc are dedicated to specify libraries that throughout the years have been adopted by the standard. We're talking about stuff that was released with Boost and since then was deemed appropriate to make it standard.

Focusing on the 460 pages that specify the core language, most of this content has not been changed since C++98. The C++14 doc covered the core language with around 420 pages. Thus it makes zero sense to claim than suddenly C++ became horrifying because of the extra 20 sheets of paper you need to print out.

Double entry accounting as a representation is a domain specific language for the people working in the field and as such is very useful.

However, you might ask, is it also the right primitives to express accounting IT systems or could we think of a better domain model, and then derive the double entry ledgers from that?

This is an important and profound question.

If you would like to dive in, I suggest looking at the REA (resources, events, agents) model, a set of abstractions and patterns for expressing accounting in business systems.

Art imitating Life.
> because macron wanted to go away from nuclear five year ago

Source? The plan was to reduce nuclear share to ~50%, not "go away from nuclear", which still required building a ton of new reactors to replace those close to their end of life. Furthermore, the nuclear reactors are owned and operated by EDF, which has always been majority state owned and is in the process of being renationalisated. Shareholders were never asked about anything.
It's a thing with highschool kids as well. We have some inside family jokes from going to the grocery store and having a young kid scan our groceries (checkout). The weird looks and the drama that ensues when they don't know what cauliflower is ("white broccoli").

Those are just versions of the standard. What people would be comparing is the performance of particular implementations. It's entirely possible that a less mature implementation would have problems.

A lot of the holdouts are specifically z/OS mainframes running TPF. It's a distinctly different OS than z/OS (what MVS is now called). Used by VISA and the Airline industry.

They've both had multiple attempts over the years to replace TPF, with varying degrees of success. Amadeus/Altea just barely finished getting rid of their mainframes. The other big GDS systems are still working on it.

I don't think it was lack of desire or commitment of resources. ITA spent quite a lot trying to replace it, with an unusual collection of the best/brightest, and was able to replace the shopping piece successfully, but stalled on commercial success of the booking part.

It's just a hard problem to solve. TPF is incredibly good at extremely high transaction rates in a distributed fashion with high reliability.
Wonder is what drives people to be interested in and want to learn about how the world works. It's a very important emotion to let thrive.

>Here's what rich countries are doing in general: outbidding pour countries for the limited amount of resources available in the short term.

Not just energy, but food, vaccines, medical supplies, consumer products, etc. This has always been the case but now it's at the point where third world countries will probably have major civil unrest and emigration due to the shortages of food and energy they will face from being outbid by Europe and other rich countries during this shortage.

Europeans can resort to going on fewer and less expensive vacations to compensate for the increased prices of energy, food, game consoles and GPUs, but I doubt anyone here will actually starve or freeze to death, while that may be an actual reality for some people in some developing nations.

No one cares what weapons Putin threats anymore, he has become the boy who cried wolf of nukes, they have been threatening nukes since pretty much the start of the war and literally nothing has changed.

> Nobody understands really why people are killing each other over there.

Russia is killing Ukrainians likely due to the natural resources found in the Donbas region that would threaten Russias status as the worlds gas station. This is why Russia is over their committing genocide and other war crimes.
I don't know the specifics to mup.sys you mentioned or Win98 at all, but isn't this pretty much the same for every OS/application debugging?

>Oh, so it is some politians fault that power plant operators screw up maintenance?

Firstly, EDF, the french operator for nuclear power plants belongs to 80+% to the state. So, first off: fucking yes it is, especially when said politicians have spent the last 20 years not investing in their plants, despite the insane work that EDF has done. Reminder that said politicians are forcing EDF to sell 120TWh worth of electricity to "alternative providers", who are currently kicking out their customers to just make money selling that electricity back on the market.. Secondly, maintenance was delayed by Covid, a once in a century event, and two years worth of delay is remarkably short. Thirdly, due to said politicians continuous non-maintenance of the nuclear sector, there are indeed very few people able to maintain said reactors. Surprising isn't it ? Spend 20 years saying nuclear is shit and should be abandoned (purely because of political plays to win alliances with the greens) and then play surprised when your only source of reliable power doesn't have anyone to maintain it, because what engineer would do the career suicide of going in an industry which is being abandoned ?

>PV and wind, using Chinese modules, outbid nuclear already in 2017 (?),

Ah yeah, the PV and wind that Germany has installed, that are currently pretty much all not working (https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE?utm_source=electrici..., 370gCO2/kWh, up to 510 yesterday, and hasn't gone underneath 300 for the past month) ? Sounds great. Both for people who get to sell their PV that only needs to run for half the year because it literally can't in winter and for the petrol groups that are selling gas to make up for the energy.

But sure, they cost less. Don't take into account the insane maintenance costs (have fun changing your turbines every 20 years, they're made of non recyclable material, it's all good), the insane land use (contrary to some beliefs, not every country has surface to waste like the US does), the inconsistency of the production (see: germany).

The german greens are, for once in their fucking lives, doing something sensible, both when it comes to Ukraine or nuclear power plants (and they're doing so because they are forced). Don't let that make you forget the past 30 years of decisions that set all of us back.

If you're writing the same code, almost certainly not.

The only way there would be would be if the compiler either can't optimize something as well because the lang changes requirements (this seems unlikely), or if they have bugs or inefficiencies because they haven't spent much time on the new standard.

If you're using new stuff from the new standard, they could be slower or faster or undecidable, really depends.

You are completely incorrect. Russians waged a very similar war in 1956 in Hungary, for exactly same reasons. They killed everybody they wanted, installed very oppressive regime that stayed there for 30+ years. They also invaded my home country of (back then) Czechoslovakia, killed hundreds, and occupied for decades. Oppression, restrictions of basic freedoms, economy down the drain, basic things missing in shops. 200k soviet russian troops to shoot everybody if they decide to ever again think about this pesky democracy and freedom.

Europe doesnt begin with Germany on the east, in fact russia is biggest european country based on land size. Ukraine, baltic states, V4 states, Romania, Bulgary, Finland etc would all be under direct threat because whatever made up reasons or twisted history (for some pretty hilarious reasons they chosen "nazis" ignoring the fact that in Russia neonazis are by far the biggest group in whole Europe, and do get quiet support from state itself).

There is no limit to russian apetite. The idea that if Ukraine would fell in few days they would stop forever and just be happy with achievement is dangerously naïve. Currently its a state run by mobsters who understand only mobster logic - power, rule of stronger and deterrence. If they could have whole Europe, why not? Obviously they can't seeing how ineffective their army is, but the apetite of big egos is endless
Why do comments like these only pop up on articles that highlight problems in europe? I never see them in the hundreds of articles per month that focus on the US. It's weird because that is exactly the type of comment you used to read from fragile patriotic americans that were unable to handle any criticism back in the early 2000s, but this time from europeans.
