You shouldn’t make personality diagnoses via online comments.

The math doesn’t change for introverts or extroverts. AggSeg is safe, easy living. It’s nowhere near torture, or dangerous, or inhumane, no matter what TikTok says your personality type is. Genpoop on the other hand is dirty and dangerous and you are statistically guaranteed to be involved in violence at some point.

But there are lots of people like him who will complain as if it’s torture, because they like to complain, will say anything against the pigs, and they like to pretend they endured “the hole”.

Meanwhile he talked with other inmates every day and likely had a view of a TV, as is common in most AggSeg pods.

> the same person who committed $44 billion without due diligence.

Honestly, I'm not sure what due diligence you think he should have, or could have, negotiated. The code obviously works. The userbase is there. They are public, so a lot of information is known.
The telegraph need to raise their journalistic standards, assuming they've had any in the first place.

Why not provide a link to the proposed legislation, or some video where the councillors are discussing it?

On another note, cars a bit of problem in busy cities with narrow streets, and bicycles are also too spartan for many people.

What is needed are those kind of tiny cars you see in Netherlands that carry a single person or two, but also good enough to carry shopping.

Banning cars is also over the top. Just make cycling facilities good enough for all people from the ages of 6 - 90, and enough people will switch to cycling to make cars less of a problem, electric or otherwise.

In many old English towns with narrow streets (the major cities included) you can guarantee that making cycling safe for all ages from 6-90 will be enough to move unnecessary driving of the streets.
On iOS you can trick the page into scrolling horizontally by selecting some text and dragging the selection marker beyond the right edge of the screen. Still an annoying workaround though, because the page snaps back to the left as soon as you try to scroll vertically again.
> I probably take the threats to your elections more seriously than you (I read whole of the the Antrim County computer forensics report, I'll never get that time back but I put in the effort).

I don't think that's true, since you think that people being banned on social media is a greater threat to a fall to authoritarianism.

> To label ideological opponents with the label of a mental illness simply for disagreement is a poor show.

I did not do this. Nor is this just "simply for disagreement." Argument over the best way of funding retirement savings programs is distinct from arguments over whether or not to throw gay people in prison, for example.

> I take anyone being banned from anything for speech that should be free (which is almost all speech) very seriously.

I'm sure you do. I hope that you also donate your time and money to those who suffer at the hands of people spreading hate.

> haha Nazis are shit" is below par for HN. Try not to waste my time and others with stuff you can safely spew out on Twitter and get likes for even though it's vapid.

Nazis are shit. You are treating me like a child. You use this "you talk like you are on Twitter" move pretty often as a way of talking down to people.
Waste water heat recovery should be mandated. I'm not sure if you included that in your "clever hacks", but it's definitely fantastic value for effort.
This lets you identify the version but it doesn't let old clients read the new messages. (Well, for avro and others they still can if the new fields aren't important or the old fields aren't required - but if you can do that you also don't really have a new incompatible version and you don't need the schema hash to begin with.)

The point is that with a pull-based API, I have a fixed number of requests. As clients migrate from /v1 to /v2, load on /v1 goes down and /v2 goes up, and I can adjust resource allocations accordingly to keep the total requirements relatively constant. I can even reimplement /v1 in terms of /v2 internally in many cases and have ~0 operational overhead.

But for an evented system, as soon as just a single client wants v2 I need to publish that, and as long as any client wants v1 I need to publish that. So my outbound "work" (at the very least i/o but probably also DTO conversions and god help you if it's any kind of storage or business logic) is doubled immediately and remains doubled until everything is migrated.
The specific point I’m making is that the “interesting case” is rare. Rare enough that I’ve never seen it in person.
Fat events once overloaded our message broker with OOM under high load and the broker's default behavior was to block all publishers until the queue was emptied (to release memory) - downtime as a result. Another issue was that under high load, if the event queue was too large, handlers would end up processing very stale data resulting in all kinds of broken behavior (from the point of view of the user).

Thin events resulted in DDoS of our service a few times because handlers would call our APIs too frequently to retrieve object state (which was partially mitigated by having separate machines serve incoming traffic and process events).

(A trick we used which worked for both fat and thin events was to add versioning to objects to avoid unnecessary processing).

We also used delta events as well but they had same issues as thin events because handlers usually have to retrieve full object state anyway to have meaningful processing (not always, depends on business logic and the architecture).

There are so many ways to shoot yourself in the foot with all three approaches and I still hesitate a lot when choosing what kind of events to use for the next project.

Mental illness isn't a valid excuse for antisocial behavior. Free treatment should be made available, and if it isn't used or not enough on its own, they should be put in "inpatient mental healthcare"
I"m over 65, I don't think you'll ever get to a truly satisfactory life without some grinding at self-introspection. Meditation is nothing if not a very deliberate grind. You can grind badly and not get a result from meditation, but you can't get a good result from meditation without grinding. A lot.

Otherwise, I think we are agreeing, neither I nor the guy I'm in effect defending think that soils (privilege, fer instance) don't matter, or that humans aren't unequal. Four-year-old blocking not equal to 24-year-old blocking. I think I covered that. There are sometimes advantages in not being fully literal, which is lucky because language cannot but be vague (it's just a matter of degree.) Hence the tradeoffs, impressing the message firmly matters because the temptation to give ourselves excuses is difficult to fully elide.

We had a similar type of “tech” ISP in the USA with a lot of similar features called Speakeasy back in the early 2000s. You could get static ips easily, delegated control of your reverse dns upon request, they encouraged connection sharing by offering an additional email account and IP address for $6/mo and even had guides how to setup different SNAT and masquerading scenarios on Linux.

They were so cool compared to the options from AT&T and Roadrunner. It was like an ISP run by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. They ended up getting bought by Mindspring IIRC.
It’s the same topic. Lots of middle class professionals have essentially the same output as their forebears did 40 years ago. They are not expanding the pie. They are nonetheless richer in absolute terms, but have pulled away in relative terms from those that are much more productive than their fore-bearers. This is perfectly fine but for envy.
Yep, that's my pull request. :-) At the moment, it's usable if you build the microsoft/STL repo with VS 2022 17.4 Preview 3 or later. When VS 2022 17.5 Preview 1 ships (in the very near future; can't say when exactly), it will be "in box" without the need to build our GitHub repo.

It will still be necessary to build the std.ixx source file (to produce std.ifc and std.obj for consumption; we will never ship prebuilt IFCs/OBJs for the standard modules). It takes maybe 3-5 seconds and doesn't need to be rebuilt until you change your compiler options or upgrade your toolset. Build system support for doing this automatically is a work in progress.

Although we have test coverage running that exercises every header of the Standard Library through `import std;`, we're still working on fixing various compiler bugs, especially in complicated scenarios (e.g. using Ranges through modules). My hope is that the experience will be solid by the time that VS 2022 17.5 is released for production.

> we tried pulling back policing and slap-on-the-wrist prosecution policies and violent crime is surging

Firstly, where is pulling back policing happening? I don't know of a single city that has actually reduced their police size to any real sense?

Additionally, how do we know this isn't just correlation and not causation? Inflation is higher, more people are addicted to things, housing insecurity is rising.
Why not both tho? Energy issues arent limited to capture and storage, it involves distribution as well. Plus you want energy to be dirt cheap and accessible. So the more the better.
He explains it quite well: all necessary information is already in the pixel-space and adding more sensors slows team down more than it improves the system performance. My understanding is that major blockers are not in perception area anyways, would be great if someone with relevant experience could comment if this is indeed the case.
Ha. I meant function keys.
The Composition of Blood
Coming from a completely different culture where the word 'engineer' still means something, I find this quite funny. If your 'engineers' just smash keys together until it seems to work somehow (which includes never bothering to learn the full potential of DVCS — one of our most important tools), they're not really engineers IMHO. Real ones know their tools (I don't pretend to be one and never call myself that).
Surely there has to be another way to do this besides logging in with Twitter. Heck, they could just have you post a verification tween on your Twitter account.
I looked at the data and as far as I can tell it was just a coincidence that the other user submitted the same link.

We banned your paydevs account though - it's against HN's rules to use the site primarily for promotion (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and that account was not only doing that, it crossed the line into what the community here considers spamming. That's why your submission of the link was killed.
It's an old piece and maybe not of of the famous lenses, but all I could afford in the late oughts: A Konica Autoreflex T4 with the 50mm/1.8 pancake and I did some great photos with it. Nowadays I often use it on a modern 4/3rds with an adapter (not so pancake) and still gives me a nice handling.
refill vs recharge
In general I agree, but as you probably know, the answer almost always is - it depends :)

So it depends on the focal length. I use both 24 and 35mm at 1.4 pretty much every-time I use them. At those focal lengths, and normal subject distances, they don't have crazy shallow depth-of-field where only one eye-lash is in focus. I can get great environmental portraits where the subject pops a bit more than 1.8/2.0 etc.
These are intentionally bad choices.

A) That's disproportionate.

B) This requires an extensive police state.

Much more simply: evaluate each crime based on the severity, likelihood of re-offense, and apply a sentence commensurate with the crime. We could make lots of efforts to make this a fair and impartial process. I wonder what we could name that?
A significant downside to the <picture> element, and alternative image formats in general, is that when most users wanna download the image they expect an image format they already know how to work with. To most users an .avif or .webp are an annoyance because they reasonable expect most of their tools to be unable to open these.

It's disappointing that browser vendors haven't picked up on this and offered a "Save as PNG/JPEG/GIF" option when downloading images, but for now if it seems reasonable that if any user would want to download an image you're displaying then you should probably stick to the legacy formats.
I mean, Excel does have LET and LAMBDA now...
Wouldn't these points also apply to the internet itself? Large monopolies in infrastructure, having to teach people what domains are, diplomatic conflicts between nations over access to information/infrastructure, prolific spam and scams, etc.

The internet did grow out of telephony so perhaps it's not surprising that it shares many of the same qualities, however I think these government vs private debates often ignore that the failures and shortcomings of these systems are usually a result of both bad government intervention and bad private actors, not solely one or the other

Very cool stuff - how do you plan monetising it?
You probably should spend some more time thinking about how that all fits together because saying that the bank creates money from interest rates means that the central bank sets the rate according to what economic growth they're expecting. If the rate is decoupled then it stops tracking real economic productivity as I've defined it. The obvious logical conclusion is that raising rates will lead to a recession because economic productivity has been stagnant for some time now. So if the rate is above actual economic productivity then that will reduce the total money supply and this seems to be their main goal. There is no way to reduce inflation without destroying money.
Top things that helped me get through a life crisis
Gotcha!

Stop reading self-help books, articles or getting advice from friends. What you need is to start listening to yourself and learn the process to find the answers within you. The only books, friends, and therapists that are good for you are the ones that help to help yourself.
I do as far as is possible all of my development under my stdlib's debug mode with -fsanitize=address and -fsanitize=undefined. If it's slow like this on my 2018 workstation, it'll be slow in release mode on my users's 2011 dual core laptops and on raspberry pis.

but if you need a bit more speed you can still build with

-O2 -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG=1 -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG_PEDANTIC=1 # for libstdc++
-O2 -D_LIBCPP_DEBUG=1 # for libc++
/O2 /D_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL=1 # for msvc

this way you get compiler optimizations but the assertions are still there
Personally, I find opening web apps to be much easier then clicking on an extension. I don't think I'd be addicted to HN if I had to click an icon to get here. But the combination

Ctrl+T => n (it autocompletes to news.ycombinator.com) => Enter

is deep in my muscle memory. For a new app of course it would take time until the URL autocompletes.

To me the code looks like very reasonable c++, and quite modern. I suspect the comment about memory safety may have been related to leaning heavily on things like iota, copy, partial_sort, lower_bound, etc as opposed to doing those things “by hand”.

I gave the article another read and found some advice even weirder. I'm not going to go through all of it, but this bit stood out to me.

> I’ve found it really valuable to start out conversations about compensation / promotions in a fact-finding way – instead of saying ”hello, i want a raise”, it’s a lot easier for everyone to start with “hey, how does this work? can you explain it to me?”.

How does what work? If I want to learn more about compensation / promotions, I ask about that. If I want a raise, I want to discuss the raise. We can conflate them, but why?

But the conclusion I would like to summarize my point:

> Being good at telling your manager the right information at the right time and asking for what you need is a superpower. It makes you way more valuable to have on a team (because your manager knows they can trust you to give them the information they need), and it’s more likely that you’ll get what you want (because you’re making it easy for them to do that!).

Flipping this upside down, "being good at asking your team the right questions at the right time and asking for what you need is a superpower. [...]". This is great advice! Both for a team member and for a manager. The difference is that the team member has to deal with the actual production also, while the manager's 'production' is the actual thing being flipped. So if things are flipped and I end up micro-managing myself, is the manager actually doing his job?

Of course when there are issue that makes sense to bring it up, we should do it, but I'd argue that it's more of the manager's job to be on top of things and ask the right questions, at the right time, without micromanaging, because that's his job, and it's why it's such a hard job to do right. It's a lot easier in my opinion to find good engineers than to find good managers, and I believe this advice is good for engineers that have bad managers and it's worth calling it out.
Note that a portion of that increase in gas consumption is still due to the hot water usage, even if the number and duration of showers stays the same - tap water varies in temperature through the year, getting colder in winter and warmer in summer. In my case, it varies between ~5 and ~22C. Germany has milder winter temperatures so likely not as much variation, but still a significant fraction of the temperature increase imparted by your water boiler. Additionally, if you have a hot water tank (as opposed to on demand), then the tank has to work harder to maintain temperature (assuming you maintain the indoor air temperature differently in winter than summer).

All combined, that might account for a 2 to 3 fold increase, the rest of it would be caused by space heating.
Do the Physics Nobel Prize Winners Understand Their Own Work?
Another manager here and i might be able to provide some insight into WHY you find managers who cant manage people.

Most large multinationals have very rigidly defined jobs, job descriptions, point levels and compensation bands.

The terminology may not be the same but the overall effects of the system are the same.

Lets say you have a great tech, they are a "tech level 3", position level 100 and salary range "G".

If they want to make more money they need to move to salary range "H" and need a JD that matches that salary range.

So they are promoted to a manager role to keep them, and to pay them what it takes to keep them. Did they want to be managers? Are they suitable for the job?

I've dealt with this scenario many times in my career. Sometimes it would be far better off for everyone of the system wasn't so rigid, and that good people could be paid to do their jobs and not be artificially promoted to management positions.

It is an interesting "cobra" unintended consequences effect.

The goal of the system was fairness and to manage costs. The unintended consequence is having many unqualified managers as people game the system to their advantage.
"Crime is surging" seems to be the current thing in the political discourse. That's how conservatives are attacking liberals these days in the US and in other places. It's mostly not supported by numbers (at least I checked where I live).

(EDIT: I am not in the US but many here are, here's some stats: https://www.statista.com/statistics/191219/reported-violent-...

EDIT2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States )

Crime rates have multiple causes to them, many go years back.

Maybe we should try to address the root causes instead of locking up more people? We have tough times economically, many reasons for people to despair, endless incitement to violence as means of resolving disagreements or other problems.

At the very least, a harsher approach to law enforcement has to be coupled with some path forward to address the other issues.
no I disagree. I use firefox. I don't actually mind the new tab, although I don't really understand what its there for. mine just shows me my recently closed tabs.

But the color theming thing on the page tries to show me how virtuous it is to pick a color theme, and turns my stomach. they couldn't just let me pick a color, they have to try to talk about why its a good thing for society to pick a color on my firefox theme. The exact text says:

>Color can change culture. The latest colorways celebrate voices making the world a better place.

This is stupid nonsense and should never have made it out to users as if picking a color does anything other than picking a theme color. Stop trying to co-opt social nonsense to justify a theming feature. It's incredibly difficult to understand who reads this tripe and feels good about picking a color to 'celebrate voices making the world a better place' by 'changing culture'.

The people who release a theme color feature under the flag of social change need to be removed from the product development team, they are already driving down the average IQ. They are buffoons, advertising features in a way that only buffoons would appreciate.
> I don't really understand what the purpose of prisons is, and I don't think anyone else really does either.

It's to remove known criminals and violent offenders from society.

> Is it removing criminals from society altogether? In that case, there's a far more efficient way to do that.

It's also irreversible.
They aren’t the same but are highly correlated. You can have wrong opinions or poor taste.
After a Professor’s Firing, Students and Professors Weigh in on Higher Ed
Agricultural waste seems like a better use case, but that's just my sensibilities. A fluidized bed of 700C supercritical CO2 would be able to thermally crack woody biomass quite effectively. The remaining biochar could be used for carbon sequestration (reverse mining) by adding it to soil as an amendment to improve it's nutrient holding capabilities, ion exchange and friability.
Thanks for this, I had no idea. I’ve opted out now.
By the time of the second gulf war, the F-14D cost 20% more per unit than the F-18E, and some 80-100% more to maintain. I'm not sure how you're concluding that the taxpayers were ripped off by that.

Also, didn't we have airbases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait? Why were we relying on carrier aircraft for bombing Bagdad when we could have been using F-15s and F-16s?
They used to be good. I guess it's somewhat like IBM.
