Talented as in knowing how to use C++ footguns or talaented as in understanding most C++ features but having the wisdom to avoid 90% of them?
That's true, but if you can find a place that isn't just new features all the time and you can refactor, it's so satisfying cleaning up some shit ancient c++ with clean modern c++.
I witnessed this phenomenon first-hand when my second child was born and during the labor, which was not exceptionally long, only 7 hours, the doctor started making "this is not progressing" noises toward 5pm and I had to sternly tell him to fuck right off. Based on a strip chart of the time between contractions the labor was clearly making normal, bordering on rapid, progress.

Doctors are pretty much dicks, and the entire American system is massively broken.
I said funding was internal. This meant the director secured generous funding for the whole institute from the usual sources.

Individual researchers were not allowed to spend their time writing grant applications, everything was provided by the institute with the core funding I mentioned above.

I think this is quite important as, in modern Academia, most professors spend the majority of their time bidding and lobbing for grant money.
It's not year-to-year noise, it's quarter-to-quarter, and there's a seasonal pattern that vanishes if you do year-on-year quarter comparison (see the solid blue line in the bls.gov chart).

The WaPo article only shows the dotted line data from the BLS graph, which is far noisier, but shows two consecutive quarters of decline, which is unusual too.
That's what the Alphafold team is working on for some time now. The only difference is that it will be relevant for drug research, so I don't expect Alphabet to give it away for free as well.
I love this document, because I think that it's a perfect microcosm representing all the problems with the CPP style of doing things are.

The guidelines document is:

- Self admittedly incomplete

- Self admittedly outdated

- Extremely long

- Not targeted at developers first, but at analysis tool writers [1]

- Raises the question (to me, at least): Why doesn't this document exist since the nineties? What was going on there? What took so long?

And you can use this set of bullet points to basically describe everything that CPP does and all its complexity. Compare it to Python's pep8 and it's shameful, even. They tried to write some guidelines and the language was so big and bloated that they couldn't complete the work, plus the result is so inaccessible that most developers will simply ignore it completely.

I work professionally with CPP right now and all these issues are constant sources of pain to me. I want to like the language, but everything is always like this.

[1] "We do not expect you to memorize all the rules before trying to write code. One way of thinking about these guidelines is as a specification for tools that happens to be readable by humans."
I don't understand the market for a device like this at this cost.

Are there really enough people that would spend this much on a VR system in a closed ecosystem instead of going with one attached to your PC that has access to everything?

I bought the valve index (which is more than this) because I can use it with Steam and any VR games outside of steam. Plus modding.

I feel like Sony should have subsidized the hardware more accounting for the fact that they will get money from every VR game sold for this thing. Otherwise I worry the market for it just won't make sense for developers (which then hurts anyone that bought it).

Also the lack of PSVR1 support would make me seriously question buying this anyways, why invest in a platform if they are just going to make it so you can't play any of your games later (or requires you keep multiple VR's around)
Better for some. That means we all have to foot the bill for the infrastructure/maintenance. Paying a private company voluntarily would be preferable.
> but if the language has other perks making up for that, it might still be worthwhile.

Totally agree, I just think for the vast majority of developers, the trade off here isn't worthwhile. This is reflected in Haskell's stagnant growth despite it's model being better for a lot of things.
Functional programming helps because the lack of mechanisms in languages to manage state mutability. FP brings in the big ban, keeping things immutable, to make state management easier. When new languages like Rust that can automatically track state ownership, state management and mutability are much easier. You don't need to enforce immutability all the times, though it still helps. The need for FP's practices is actually lessen.

I don't think WORA was ever a really big deal for server-side work. In practice, you know what platform you're developing for, and even if you were developing on Windows and deploying on Solaris, you would have plenty of opportunities to test on Solaris before deploying.

I think the reason that Java beat C++ for boring line of business apps is that it was much, much quicker to write code which ran fast enough and didn't crash much. Having nice easy to use URL/HttpURLConnection classes built in was probably also a surprisingly big part of it!
I know very little about this but don't the other carriers also charge activation fees? I thought TMobile had these fees but just waived them for a few years.
I’ll offer a perspective unrelated to pay: It’s a pain to start learning C++, and even after you do, older devs will roast the hell out of your code because your book/tutorials of choice forgot to mention a crucial (in their opinion) feature that you absolutely should/shouldn’t use! Not to mention you’ve only programmed on Mac/Linux so far & windows is totally different, has a different compiler, different ways to install libraries, different C++ standard features supported, etc.

I like C++, and tooling has come a long way, but it’s so much easier to download rust/Python/node and you’re basically set on every platform & immediately ready to go. NOW consider pay, and even someone enthusiastic about programming C++ will reconsider.

I think it's important to note that Rust can still leak memory in safe code. Memory leaks are not "unsafe"; they're a performance issue and could possibly lead to panics due to running out of memory, but panicking is not unsafe (i.e. it's deterministic and not a source of undefined behavior). Rust provides a lot of absolutely critical guarantees, and I fully agree that it's much safer than C++, but I think it's important not to overstate the benefits (not that you did say that Rust prevents memory leaks, but I worry that someone might incorrectly infer that due to the way it was mentioned for C++).
Very cool, I died and saw that the first fork in the road I made was the wrong one. Isn't that life? Or death, as the case may be.

I have never experienced that kind of errors you describe and I use Linux+GNU on my private workstations, on my professional workstations, on various servers and some NAS devices. Is there a bug report that documents these failures?

I haven't really stayed up to date, but I recall the primary issue with openssl at the time of heartbleed was that it was basically a poorly manned project with little funding, yet billions of people rely on it daily. Has that situation changed at all since? It's ironic the OP laments them "not learning lessons" since heartbleed, but if there was any lesson to learn it is that if everyone is going to rely on a piece of software it should get some love from the broader community. It's good he found it but his harsh scolding tone is unfair given the situation...unless openssl has multiple SV salaried employees working full-time on it by now.
What wireless tech could run 2 x (2000 x 2040) X 120Hz displays?
Both of the people who responded to my comment seem to have missed my point about ethanol being part of this. High-ethanol (E70 or higher) fuels have roughly half the emissions when burned that gasoline does, while having a higher effective octane rating. That said, from an energy density perspective their energy density is lower, so it requires tuning so the fuel injectors on your car inject more fuel volume at a given speed density (or other tuning method).

There's been multiple studies on this. From an environmental impact perspective, biofuels are generally considered worse than gasoline due to land-use, however at the point of use, when burned, they are massively cleaner than gasoline and don't produce the same quantity and types of byproducts. In point of fact, burning high ethanol biofuels without catalytic converters produces cleaner emissions than burning gasoline with catalytic converters. Also, my parent comment was not an argument against catalytic converters, it was an argument against the encryption of ECUs, banning of tuning components, etc. by the EPA in the name of emissions, when these things are necessary to convert a car that runs on gasoline to run on high-ethanol biofuels, which are better from an emissions perspective at point of use. You can use downstream high-flow catalytic converters with ethanol fuels for final cleaning, such as in the mid-pipe of the exhaust, but you cannot use them in the exhaust header itself as the temperature of the exhaust gas is significantly higher with high-ethanol fuels, which is part of why their byproducts are less emitting.
It's more like 4 years for ONE RS-25 ...

The long build times are a product of the type safety mechanisms built in.
The language complexity is also a result of the qualities required for a low level language that can manage memory and resources with precision.
Ugly syntax is subjective; I find it expresses cleanly most of the things you want in the domain.

Those are not really priorities of Rust or most of its domains anyway.
>That’s wrong. The size of the sensor, the aperture size (and of course the distance between the two) are all factors that together on this.

For a given angle of view, the amount of light incident on the sensor depends solely on the diameter of the aperture (the absolute diameter, not the f number). You can see this visually in the comment I made here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33426540

If you really want to think of it in terms of a combination of sensor size and f number, you can do so. But it's easier just to look at the size of the hole the light is going through – which not surprisingly, determines how much light ends up being collected, once you fix the angle of view.

It's just about making simplifications where possible. You don't need a molecular dynamics simulation to predict where a pool ball will go. That simplification is easy to see and understand. Scientists and engineers have been making useful simplifications for a long time.

There are other simplifications where a bunch of forces and masses can be cancelled out, or aggregated - but we can't see them. Can a computer see them with enough processing? It seems like it.

OK, few are actively recruiting for people on those projects, as a proportion of the whole job market. A few juicy jobs there and a huge pile of less well paying ones means that any average is going to be low. The existence of those roles is great for those that have/get them, but this doesn't help the wider pool who need to use other tech to get the better wages – a situation that results in fewer newly training in c++ because those outside the pool see the low average.

I would give myself an understanding of status. Women are attracted to high-status (doctor, lawyer) and thus men spend time attaining status.

But status is affected by subcultures; if I spend 6-months learning how to write an NES emulator or speed-running N64 GoldenEye or reaching 2200 elo in chess -- I'll get status from a small group of gaming enthusiasts but in the larger context its (probably) not a good use of my time.

For example, I got a double major in unrelated fields (I was ambitious and wanted to signal how smart I was), but it would have been better had gotten straight A's and masters degree (a double-major only impresses 1st-year undergrads; in the larger context of academic status, its irrelevant).

It would also teach my younger self about counter-signaling in the status game

1. I am European (Irish) and I am constantly being told not to give out bank details. I don't mean people are always telling me that, but when ever there is information about being safe and avoiding scams they always say to not give out bank details, and that is info for EU people. There are many examples online.

2. I was replying to a message, and in that message the user gave the example that at a farmers market someone could pay using a bank transfer. If I'm a farmer at that market I'm going to have to give my bank account details to all the strangers who want to buy a few apples from me, so they can instantly transfer money to my account.
Last time I needed to write `delete` I was either fixing some low level garbage code that was super old or writing a smart pointer for a case not handled by the standard library. Either way it was so long ago that I really can't remember which.

Complaints about delete aren't about part of common modern C++, if they aren't from subject matter experts aren't well structured complaints.

Each rocket needs 33 for the booster and 6 for the ship, so thats still about 5 weeks for one, or 10 rockets per year.

If I recall, back when HeartBleed hit, the OpenSSL Project only had 1 FTE worth of paid developers & managers working on their code.

Wikipedia claims that (as of 2019) they have 2 FTE's worth, plus a dozen or so volunteers...who are a big overlap with their management committee. And their total budget is < $1M/year.

Not to suggest that volunteer coders are automatically lesser coders...but for widely-used, uber-critical, uber-complex code, that sounds pretty profoundly under-resourced.

Edit: Adding the full quote from Wikipedia: "As of May 2019,[7] the OpenSSL management committee consisted of 7 people[8] and there are 17 developers[9] with commit access (many of whom are also part of the OpenSSL management committee). There are only two full-time employees (fellows) and the remainder are volunteers."
Protonmail doesn't support email clients with POP/IMAP like most hosting companies do. They only let you use their proprietary apps on mobile. Desktop users can log in to the website or use Bridge which is just a hacky way of creating a local Protonmail server that your email client thinks is a hosting provider. I could never get it set up on my machine so I just used the browser implementation. sigh.
It’s pretty clear that games are the entry point into wide household adoption of VR.

Ironically that's also the thing that will stop them getting widespread support though. They'll always be seen as expensive toys while gaming is the driving force behind adoption.

What's really needed is support from the television and movie industry (immersive programming), music (streaming VR gigs), and collaborative remote socializing (something like Metaverse). The problem with that those is cost - if you want to enjoy a VR gig or a remote social occasion with your family you need to spend thousands of dollars on equipment.

VR might be mainstream in the same sense that a Playstation is, but it'd take a huge shift in thinking for it to ever be mainstream like television is.
Bingo. I've been approached continuously by recruiters looking for finance and/or crypto firms and I won't go anywhere near it.

C and C++ are still horrible languages even if you want to teach those concepts, because of how many footguns they have. That's why Pascal was so popular as a teaching language, historically speaking - it still has pointers and other stuff you need for manual memory management, but it's much simpler and more regular both syntactically and semantically.
So I translate that as "Twitter is a toxic cesspool" :~)

Yes? Features are great. I do not miss writing C++ without smart pointers, lambdas, span, etc.

If you don't want comfortable, common features enshrined in the language, you can just write C. Personally, I think using C for anything complex is torture.
There are only two types of C++ shops: the ones that use a rigorously-enforced subset of it, and the ones where the codebase is an impenetrable hornet's nest. You must decide on a subset of C++ to use or you'll go insane. Google made some opinionated choices and tradeoffs about which subset to use (as did Microsoft and every other company with a huge C++ codebase), and it's possible to disagree with the specific boundaries they chose, but the mere fact that they chose to do this is unimpeachable.
