> RAII handles that perfectly. I'm not sure about this.

If you're asking whether arena allocators can handle resource cleanup, then I think the answer is yes. One way to do it is to embed an intrusive linked list of destructors into your arena. So, to push an object onto the arena you would:

1. Push a function pointer (the object's destructor) and the current destructor list head onto the arena.

2. Update the destructor list head to point to the top of the arena.

3. Push the object's data onto the arena, as usual.

Maybe it's a goal that the Federation aspires to, but it's not black and white and can't always be achieved, as demonstrated by many episodes in TNG and DS9.

Maybe the idea is if you set the bar high it will reduce violence and that's the best we can achieve?
> We should have a way to forward every single layer of the stack across each hop, and return back each layer of the stack, so that we can programmatically determine the exact causes of network issues, automatically diagnose them, and inform the user how to solve them. But right now, you need a human being to jump onto the user's computer and fire up an assortment of random tools in mystical combinations and use human intuition to divine what's going on, like a god damn Networking Gandalf. And we've been doing it this way for 40+ years.

I work in a company that builds network troubleshooting/observability tools and we have some pretty experienced analysts to tell you what's wrong with the network. With that context, your idea of having any tool automatically diagnosing network issues is a pipe dream.

The problem with networks is that they're very complex systems, with multiple elements along the way, made by different manufacturers, often with different owners, failures aren't always easily reproducible, and with human configuration (and therefore errors) almost every step of the way. Even if a tool that "returns each layer of the stack" would be useful, it still would be far from enough to diagnose issues.

Another example of the two-screen mode I liked was asymmetrical local multiplayer like Nintendo Land. It's not that it's impossible now, with two switches, but I haven't seen any games do it (with 4 players on a single switch, and 1 on the other).
There is no such thing as a politically neutral place. Especially not for an organization that has financial ties to many other organizations around the world.
My reason to buy a Wii U back then was that whenever I found the time to play a video game, I had to go through a session of Windows Update, Steam update and game update that I lost interest by the time it was ready.

Compare that to the Wii U back then: Turn on and play.

Nintendo even achieved to keep this mindset with the Switch: It will update in the background so usually you just turn it on and play.
> Always felt like it deserved more popularity, but it couldn’t compete with the ps3/4 and Xbox 360/one.

The Wii U marketing was a total disaster. Using the same name as a well established, casual platform, with a tiny suffix + pushing the "same gamepad compatibility" makes this hardware looks like an expensive "revised" version.

I can't understand how Nintendo didn't catch on this.
Is there a way to find the Mastodon instance you yourself signed up on? I am pretty sure I already made a Mastodon account, but not on mastodon.social and based on the list of instances, nothing rings a bell. :-/

Edit: it was mastodon.social, the password reset email just took 15 minutes to arrive… Good tip in the comments though, thanks!
I think it would be an overkill to use a networking protocol to connect exactly two devices. Plus if you have something specific to video stream transfer you could maybe do some optimization specific to that use case, although I can't think of any at the moment.
It saddens me a lot but my prediction is that these protest won't overthrow anything. As long as there is no help from at least part of the military there is no hope for the protests to grow into a revolution. We have seen it in Belarus.

But when Khamenei dies there is a window of opportunity for Iran to become a military dictatorship instead of the current theocracy.
I’ll defer to experts on the network-layer problems but im not sure what you see as the problem with converging on HTTP. It’s awkward and inelegant, but as an a backend application developer I never feel like it gets in my way.
It came out in a weird time for technology and Nintendo always uses slightly older hardware.

I had a Playstation 2 and 3 before, but since we became parents, we wanted something family-friendly. We seriously considered a Wii U, but were totally put of by the Wii U controller, which seemed clunky, annoying, and expensive to replace in case it breaks. It was the primary reason we went for the XBox One that generation.

We got a Switch pretty soon after it was released and love it (our daughter also has a Switch Lite).
Is there a linkable example of how such forced transfer looks like?
You don't need to spend all that much money.

Just buy a Raspberry, install some HTTP server and forward port 80 to it, then use some free dynamic DNS provider:

$100 + $10/year.

Everyone should do this.
Nintendo Land was great for the asymmetrical multiplayer. Four players co-op on the big screen versus a fifth player on the GamePad. It's not impossible to do in other ways, but I haven't seen it done.

I think shared/split screen on the TV adds an additional social element to it. Otherwise it's just all of us playing on their phones/Switch.
This is not what the text says at all.
Oh no, I spend many thousands of euros a week on Champagne. It still tastes good.

And I don't spend so much money because I chase the expensive bottles, it's because the prices for good grower champagnes have exploded in recent years. Bottles I could previously easily find for 150 are going for well over 500 now.

>It has to come from Champagne and be a bit expensive or there's no point.

Not at all, for example Franciacorta Annamaria Clementi is an excellent sparkling wine (well, Franciacorta, made using the same methode traditionnelle as Champagne) that holds up well when compared to decent champagnes. (Although direct comparison is a little tricky given the drastically different climates, you're best off picking best vintages of each and comparing them)
It's possible for you to work remotely for an EU company. To find jobs you can look at LinkedIn jobs postings and filter for remote ones.

I don't know how well it will do for you, the salary difference might not be great, you will have to adjust you working hours to a foreign time zone and you will have to always speak English.

So, while certainly doable, I'm not sure sure if it's worth it unless you want to experience different things and having contact with different cultures and people.

I don't think people here think about Chinese developers in one way or another another simply because we hadn't have met much Chinese developers. Indian developers sure, we've met some and some people might have strong opinions over Indian developers.

Also, working remote from another country means you will have to use a B2B contract, not an employment contract so you will not get the same benefits and legal protection as locals.

So go for it, but don't build huge expectations.

Depends on how the database and application was set up. In a properly formed ZK application you cannot obtain any reasonable information by brute force hashing names.

Edit: I realize you’re probably talking about Callisto which does seems like simple hashing of names, but I wanted to note that this is not always the case in apps using ZK proofs and FHE which the article touches on a bit later.

It's a good technical explanation of how arena allocation (a useful and easily googleable memory management technique) works in practice, in C, along with:

* A lot of arguing that all other ways of dealing with the problem (garbage collectors, RAII, etc) are misguided and make for worse programs. This is a lot more controversial than "arena allocation is useful" but I have some sympathy for it. He's not alone in thinking it. See the "Handmade Network" which this guy is associated with.

* A brief and unnecessary bit of free market fundamentalist politics, which seems par for the course for him.

* A general implication that he came up with this stuff himself, which he didn't. Arena allocation (under that name) dates back to the sixties.
> yeah, thank you for the kind comments about not needing money (aka: my time as no value) and asking me to build the prototype with irony

The world (read: the investment community) doesn’t care about your time though. If you are going to pitch an infrastructure project that should work in software without a working demo, you’re going to have to take a huge haircut on valuation.

If you want to be successful with a theory and proofs, join academia and publish them. If you want to get investors for infrastructure, make something that works.

Academia churns out “protocols on paper” every year that go absolutely nowhere. You need to differentiate yourself if you’re looking for more than a research grant.
"Growing" is a trend, first derivative, not today's snapshot. It's starting from embedded, both MCUs and Linux-capable MPUs, and already completes pretty well there. Desktop and server will take time, like it was with ARM too.
That's a pretty dishonest framing.
If you are the richest man on earth and are attacked by political elites how would you defend yourself? Mind that they control, to some extent, media and institutions. There are things beyond money.
Where do they store the water? In NYC it's not uncommon for a building to have a holding tank on the roof of the building and then use gravity to supply "pressure" to the units in the building. If Singapore does something similar, it would be logical that the water would be warmer.

I lived on the top floor in a newer building in Dallas that pumped water the entire way and the pressure was noticeably less in my apartment than in the gym on the ground floor. The water was "cold" though!

I’m glad you commented this (because the replies are encouraging me). I feel similarly to you in that I never had someone explain i to me in a way that I could intuitively grasp. I’m realizing now that this likely had more to do with not having a teacher who could explain it! Also, shoutout to non-Euclidean math for confusing me to no end and making me think I’m dumb (but also probably suffering from the same problem of not having a great teacher).

I’ve finally gotten to a point where I’m the one writing the confusing symbols for others to read after publication. Here’s something I never really realized before. Confusing equations, maybe more so in informally mathematic disciplines like computer science, are mostly an alternative way of trying to explain a complex paradigm. In a paper that I’m working on right now, we basically state something in plain English and then create an equation to communicate it in an alternative way. It’s a formal representation, but more than that, it’s just an attempt to communicate something that is inherently confusing.

It’s an oversimplification to say this, but: I think a lot of the confusion stems from humanity having discovered most of the simple stuff, what’s left to be communicated is inherently confusing.

In absence of other options, choose the lesser evil.

Some of those things are debatable.

To start, Bolsonaro has been videotaped repeatedly trying to silence, harass and insult journalists and to censor scientifically proven facts, so as "captain of the free speech", is definitely a very poor example

I can't speak for the reality of the country, but some Bolsonaro followers had been videotaped harassing and even killing random people with fireweapons in public space. Removing this people the access to weapons feels the correct option (and putting them in jail is urgently needed). Bolsonaro would have happily lead the country to a civil war after ecological disaster.

Could you list some things that are better in Brazil after Bolsonaro and are fully attributable to him? (were not happening yet with Lula)
The way I've framed it is the cost of making the decision should be in proportion to that decision turning out to be wrong.

It's extremely rare for decisions to be as binary as one-way or two-way, but there's always a point on the sliding scale of cost to change later.
Yeah some integrations with learning management systems are on the cards.

Not the main reason, game studios target consoles because of established player base.

Actually, consoles are tricky to develops on because they are quiet restricted from hardware standpoint, so you have to invest a lot in hardware knowledge.
The fact you think Nazis are left wing (you know, an ideology literally based on racial superiority theories, instead of class as would be the case if they were left wing; not to mention all their anti-labour policies like banning unions) shows that you don't know what words mean. Tons of ink has been written on Nazis, what they were, and what Neo-nazis are today, so it's just willful ignorance at this point. It's not rocket brain surgery, it doesn't take a PhD to understand a political ideology.

Ask HN: How would you design a cringe detector?
I have a dream of making a cringe detector - a program that you could input a tweet or image, and it outputs how cringy it is.

What do you think?
I also just started using PowerShell around three years ago, when I started working in a Windows only environment. In the beginning I went through the whole circus with Cygwin, WSL, natively ported apps, etc. In the end I just decided to embrace PowerShell and it's really not bad. I quite like the object-oriented part of it.

I just installed PowerShell 7 last week to work on some scripts that required this, and I am hoping that some of the quirks of PowerShell have been solved in this version.

If anything it's the contrary.
SCTP [1] is there to provide a reliable message based protocol. And it does work inside a datacenter. The issue is outside the datacenter: it doesn't work reliably across the Internet due to middle boxes dumping anything not TCP or UDP...

But inside a controlled environment like a datacenter, it works. It's been used in the telecommunication world to carry control messages in the radio access and core networks for example. So it's been tested at scale for critical applications.

> This pattern explains such user-hostile decisions like the loss of headphone jacks, or curved glass displays that distort edge pixels and don’t accept glass screen protectors. Or car maker’s trend to remove tactile controls with a laggy, convoluted touchscreen UX.

Curved glass displays cause phones to break more often which sells more phones, removing headphone jacks encourages users to leave bluetooth enabled which is used for data collection and tracking. People are making money from those design choices (at our expense), but who is making money by removing tactile controls and burying their functions behind menus? The screens and OS are there either way.

What I cannot wrap my head around is why PANTONE requested their swatches to be removed from Adobe. What better way to make your system THE standard in the industry than to have it tightly integrated with the standard suite of professional tools?

Do they have such a strong foothold in the industry now that there is no risk of some other color matching system taking their seat at the table?

"Spacetime is not a physical thing."

But physicists shamlessly reify spacetime. How can something that is said to have a "fabric" not physical? How can something that expands not be physical.

At this point physicists enter into semantics and ask, "it all depends on how you define 'physical'". And indeed, physicists heavily use casuistry, and they have a definition for every case.

To me, if spacetime is not physical, then, it does not exist. Similarly, I don't think such mathematical abtractions as "point particles" exist. Physicists do not worry about existence. They only care to get a prediction.
Why is it considered by others to be a bad thing, to see women as lesser and to keep them down, just because they're women?

Let me give you an easy out here, and tell you my assumptions. I am assuming it also only took you a minute to look up the definition. And after reading it, then couldn't come up for a reason for others to judge that kind of behavior.

I am kind of stumped of how to actually reply to this, to me it is just pretty obvious that any kind of prejudice or bias like that is strongly unwanted.
I (a) ran a very early Internet provider and then worked in (b) oil and (c) finance where good networking, speed and reliability were enough to make *nix a sensible choice.

WW1 and 2 are pretty solid examples where military interventions have worked out just fine.
Seems like that's what eventually turned into the episode "The Child" of TNG. Which was earlier to be used in the never-made "Star Trek Phase 2" series a good decade earlier.

And even then, the episode only got made because there was a writers strike and they had to use scripts that were mostly finished already.

And even then the episode still sucked! It's currently ranked as the 170th episode out of a total of 176
"They" have done it multiple times. You're not satisfied, apparently. Show the evidence.
You are defending Elon, who said to give Crimea to Russia to "prevent nulcear war". I'm just wondering how much stuff you want to give to Russia to "prevent nuclear war".

So give Crimea to Russia, yes. Donbas too? Baltic states you said no. Can they take the rest of Ukraine to prevent nuclear war?

For me, the line is pretty easy: Russia respects the borders as internationally defined. And I don't really give a shit how much they threaten with nuclear war.

For you and Elon, you seem to want to give Russia some stuff and hope it ends there. Well, it never ends there, so that's why I ask where you will draw the line.
Strong disagree. Technobabble inspired a generation of STEM people, and at least early TNG, when the show had proper scientific consultation, it was a delight. Problem came with the witers' attitudes and production cheapening out - ignoring internal reference works, treating exposition as something you can stub out with a "[TECH]" placeholder, to be substituted by some word salad after the episode is already written.

In fact, I think technobabble was critical to the effect of the show getting people into science and engineering, and its omission would kill that effect - it's because it delivered a message: any problem faced can be overcome with help of science and technology. Sure, the terms were bullshit, but all this talk about nadion particle counts and how many cochranes does the subspace field measure, etc. reads as "this is all things we can investigate, understand, measure, build machines around".

This overall feeling - that there's nothing out of scope for science and engineering - is a major theme of all Trek shows, and pretty unique to Star Trek. In other works of sci-fi on TV, the writers tend to be too busy writing character stories and focusing on people to the exclusion of everything else.

(I may be biased about this, because TNG and its technobabble are what got me interested in the sciences, and is indirectly why I ended up working in software.)
