I don’t necessarily disagree with the underlying point, but this it’s a weird change to comment on.

The complexity explosion in C++ is due to extra language features etc. not 3 extra, probably well documented, quality of life functions in the standard library.

std::unreachable is the most atypical “function” in this post, but from a code readability perspective, it is pretty clear what it does and it doesn’t really add any new concepts to the language (UB has always been a footgun).

Also, if you want to preserve backward compatibility, all you CAN do is add more abstractions and hope they are simpler to understand and cover the majority of the use cases that the old ones did.
It is as serious issue as if it would be caused by faulty hardware. It is cool that it is possible to fix malfunctioning cars faster. But the Teslas were actually malfunctioning in serious way.

What examples are you thinking of? Did this happen with the PC or smartphone?
I migrated from Adobe to Affinity years ago and have absolutely loved it. In particular the abiilty to use both vector and raster graphics in Designer is a game changer.

I think most of the retro youtubers I've seen have done this mod along with PRam battery replacements that don't leak. They seem to use the m.2 SATA mode drives to 44pin like thus (not recommending, just showing an example) https://www.amazon.com/44pin-Converter-Adapter-Computer-Acce...
Amusingly, there are a lot of Minecraft videos with that name as a title. I think it's a game type with a limit of 3 respawns.
I wouldn't say that at all.

The React Core team was 100% Meta up until earlier this year, when Seb Markbage switched to Vercel (and I believe Vercel is now also funding an additional full-time dev to contribute more React SSR / Server Components implementation). React Native work is also primarily Meta, although I think MS has a team that supports RN for Win/Mac.

There are certainly _contributions_ from the community, but in terms of core library vision and implementation work, it's all been the primary team (Seb, Andrew Clark, Dan Abramov, et al).

Dan recently commented and said that they'd certainly _like_ more actual outside contributors, but there's a big onboarding cliff that requires a lot of time investment:

Show HN: OneGen – A new way to design data models
Hi, I’m the technical founder of OneGen. I've been a software engineer for over a decade, but it wasn't until the pandemic that I decided to take a leap of faith and build an innovative solution to designing data models.

Most applications & SDKs support more than one platform. And for each platform, software engineers write and maintain the same (or similar) data models.

I thought that if I could design data models completely independent of a database or a programming language in a way that allows versioning and collaboration and then generate the model code for whatever the technology stack is, it would be pretty cool.

OneGen doesn't work as a one-time code generator. Instead, you design and continuously maintain your data models right inside the app to achieve a single source of truth.

We're excited to announce our free beta release to you.

Software has been in cars for a long time but I worry about its pervasiveness, especially as it applies to the lifetime of cars. I have a 1997 car that I keep for sentimental reasons and I like its “rawness” compared to my 2017 daily driver with auto-braking, lane assist, infotainment, directional headlights, etc. I made sure to buy an extended warranty on the new car because anything that goes wrong wrong will be an expensive fix that I can’t do myself. 20-30 years later how will these technologically modern cars fare?
I totally would have been part of this layoff if I’d responded to any of the many, many FB recruiters who have contacted me in the last 18 months.

Why didn’t I reply? Several reasons, but importantly because if you can’t say anything nice sometimes it’s best not to say anything at all.
I've worked with people "set in their ways", and while I am empathic towards the human causes of this, it does disrupt work.

On-boarding someone who becomes visibly angry with processes, tools and approaches they're not familiar with due to nothing but stubbornness and fear, is difficult.

I also made the distinction between this and ignoring rubbish trends as a specific point.

As I said, this trait isn't causally linked with age, it is correlated in my experience. This is why, all of us, must ensure we stay plastic as we age.
> (or maybe even simpler, namely without xml?)

I implemented a fair amount of XMPP for a web client back around 2012, and I gotta say, the XML wasn't a problem, at all. Actually the whole thing was a lot easier than comments about how awful XMPP is might lead one to expect—I know a lot of the complexity is in extensions, which I barely touched (but some!), but some people paint the whole protocol as unworkably bad, and that's simply not true.

As for the XML side of it in particular, XML compresses well, isn't slow to write by hand with modern editor features, and working with it in a browser is great because—and maybe this isn't common knowledge?—you can tell the browser to build a DOM out of XML, not just html, so you can let it handle parsing and constructing or modifying messages, meaning you can get pretty damn far implementing XMPP with surprisingly few lines of code and no external libs.
It’s partly because Musk is very public. What you’re saying about this HN headline of a government report is fair, but if Musk was a boring CEO, this wouldn’t get any attention/derision from crowds. Is the double edged sword of no advertising and seeking exposure via the press
A “recall” is a very specific technical term in this context.

It is a formal notice of a safety defect by a manufacturer to all affected parties that they have a defective product. It identifies the nature of the problem, the consequences of the problem, the affected parties, and the known remedy or steps the affected parties should take. It also requires the fixes to be offered to all affected parties free of charge.

A recall is supposed to be issued in all cases that a safety defect is detected to guarantee that all customers are informed of potential problems and that the manufacturers are on the hook for solving them.

VR is cool. I didn’t mean to say that Meta VR engineers deserve to feel guilty, but I imagine it would be strange to be working in a massive cost center (which may eventually spell Meta’s downfall), while seeing coworkers dismissed. Definitely don’t think my job is any more fascinating to than VR (although I personally am more interested in my work).
Kind of off topic, but is there a good "catch up" guide for people who stopped paying attention after C++11? Like a quick summary of just the useful, practical things you'd actually want to use in production, rather than the parts that are only interesting to computer science academics? Most of the "what's new in C++X" guides seem to just dump everything on you at once. I feel like I should get back into C++ but I don't think I really need to care about folding expressions or std::bit_cast.
What do you think a "recall" is?

Actually they going full coal and oil and gas since they need electricity and hydro suffer from drought and wind does not produce much AND in general without massive storage no grid can work on renewables...

Oh, I say that as one who have p.v., with (little) storage at home, and I see how the frequency suffer from irregular loads even at that small scale.
> It's reasonable to expect any car built in the last 50 years to operate as normal after hitting a pothole.

The brakes on the Prius stopped working if you hit a bump or pothole, which is a pretty similar issue.
I think that in the laying off phase, consultants + contractors are the first to let go. That's because they don't require severance and are easy to just cut for companies.

After the layoffs, I think when companies do need to increase headcount, consultants and contractors will be in huge demand, for the same reason: in a time of market uncertainty, they're just easier to let go and therefore cheaper.

When the economy comes back into full swing, I think we revert back to FTE as the default.

You can check https://www.contractrates.fyi/ to see what kind of rates people are getting these days.

Super short term, I'm bearish - I think hourly workers are going to face significant cuts.
Short term, bullish - they'll be the first ones brought back.
Long term, FTE will probably win out.
He read plenty of books on the topic, and doesn't take TikTok fitness advice as some bible. I have already prefaced that he was seriously into bodybuilding, and I legitimately don't see how one can be serious about it if all they do is just watch TikToks and gain all their knowledge from it.

It is more for stuff like "oh, this is an interesting routine, let me look into it on my own later" or "damn, i didn't realize the nutritional benefits of XYZ, let's read up on it and see" or "oh, so this is how you can work lats more efficiently". TikTok isn't the end-all be-all, it is a starting point.

what is the TL;DR difference between anyhow and Box<dyn Error> ?
Originally, mobile phone services were only available post-pay for individuals who could pass a credit check, and were structured as per-minute or per-text plans where someone would be billed after the fact.

Pre-paid plans, when they came out, were marketed primarily to individuals who couldn't pass a credit check to go on the flexible, post-paid plans. This is why they were second class, pre-paid was like having to go to a check cashing place as opposed to having a checking account.

Suddenly, in the mid-aughts, that changed. Expensive, "hot" phones came out, like the Motorola RAZR or later the iPhone, and the marketing for post-paid plans were that you would get a free phone if you signed a contract. All of a sudden, the flexible option was now primarily a financing option for getting an expensive phone.

Meanwhile, post-paid services like Virgin Mobile became a bit more upscale, offering reasonable mid-range phones and decent pre-paid options. Still, a large number of people kept using post-paid plans to do monthly financing on expensive phones. "Unlimited" plans started to make pre-paid convenient.

The contracts, financing options and "family plans" have all been so profitable for post-paid carriers that they've basically done everything possible to give the impression of being the "first class" option - visual voicemail, 5G access, less throttling, etc. These have trickled down to some pre-paid carriers - Mint, Cricket and Visible generally offer all of the frills of the post-paid ones these days - but there is still the perception of them being "for people who can't pass a credit check".

Edit: often, if a carrier offered both pre-pay and post-pay, the post-pay options were designed as second-class citizens on the carrier's network (ie, throttled, or with different payment plans) for the reasons above, and as such operate substantially differently than post-paid both on the network and in terms of support.

I can easily pass any credit check, but I use a nice, high-end used phone and a yearly Mint plan and pay a third of what virtually everyone else I know pays while missing out on absolutely nothing. Suckers.
Same here. I'll gladly pay for Affinity on Linux.
Ooo you did that! I love your subreddit. We need to find more examples for it.
It doesn't matter whether the cause is a custody dispute or something else. Custody disputes of themselves do not meet the criteria for AMBER alerts. Danger to the child and criminal activity are among the criteria that have to be met for the alert to be sent.

States vary as to how effectively they run their alerting systems, and how well they follow best practices, but that is ultimately an issue for the voters.
lambda calculus is turing complete. But so are turing machines. So why not have turing machines be the Maxwells equations of software.

Maybe there's an infinite amount of mathematical theories that are turing complete. Why is lambda calculus chosen as the foundational one?

I would argue, the Maxwells equation of software should be MORE foundational. Not some arbitrarily specific turing complete language.

This is what I think it should be (link is a comment in the same thread): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33533321

So years and years of hype from Tesla about an electric car and self driving revolution etc, all that hype in the media is fine. That was wanted, desired, intended. His constant need for attention all over Twitter including buying the company

But then Tesla supporters cry when they’re singled out for recalls?

It swings both ways

Edit: not to mention the constant lying - sorry, artistic license in marketing - about the abilities of automated vehicles. But calling this a “recall”? Wahhhh.
This must be a US thing. In UK you pay £25 for an eye test (which employer is required to cover if you have to wear glasses at work) and then you can order online with prescription you get from test for £40 and usually there are 2 for 1 or 50% offers even on that. It is baffling that you would have no competition if this was costing $800 ... is there IP or regulations stopping this or something?
They need to invest heavily in the prisons and jails, not just let them go as a short-term compromise. Investing in proper treatment of criminals would do a lot to reduce recidivism.

All of the actual solutions are hard and expensive but that's how it is. Thoughtlessly letting career criminals go so they commit 3 more crimes before the trial for the first one isn't the more compassionate move. To the net public at least.

Same deal with closing mental institutions in the 1980s without an alternative.

I had been using z-lib as a way of "format shifting" some of my books. I live in a small apartment. My books take up too much space. For some, I've found the PDF on z-lib and thrown out the hardcopy.

I don't think that is immoral in any way. (And I'm pretty sure it's not illegal -- but IANAL).
> If we want to treat the numbers as meaningful and make low effort quips about wealth inequality being bad for society when they go up then we must also concede that it is meaningfully bad for him when the numbers go down if we are to be logically consistent.

No. If wealth inequality is bad, that does not imply wealth is good.

If we simply assume inequality is the bad thing, then we could deduce that the best society would be hunter gatherers with zero wealth, and Zuck losing wealth is a good thing, because it makes society more equal.

It is therefore logically consistent to say "wealth inequality is bad and Zuck losing wealth is good".

They won’t. This means that there will be properties eventually owned by a local taxing authority.

What people don’t get is that you need some houses to sit empty. This allows people to find a place when they move. This allows people to move around within a territory.

Also not all secondary houses are bad. I want to buy a plot of land for a small farm and a place to go in case of hurricanes. Presently there is no house. Should I be taxed for improving land for personal ways that didn’t remove housing?

Many of the comments so far are emotional. We need to do better when making policies.

Matt Damon talking about it was the top. You could tell immediately. Even with Binance now being the last dog standing worth anything (worth, lol), it's all a house of cards. Who will be the last bag-holders until this thing finally has it's death rattle.

Hope it ends already, and the this wonderful technology can go back to doing what it does best become a utility and not a vehicle for speculation.
When doing "how much staff costs" calculations, you typically have to add on ~30-50% on top of salary for employer's share of taxes, and benefits (health insurance in USA is very non-trivial), and other assorted overhead.

But your point stands.
Makes sense, FTX are crumbling now and will move to Binance regardless

> as simply giving examiners more time.

Specifically on the prior art search aspect, there should be a bigger burden on the applicant to find meaningful prior art. If the examiner finds something obvious, the application should be deemed fraudulent and carry some stiff penalties.
You're right, but Twitter basically has been in continuous financial trouble since eternity. In 2016 they almost went bankrupt. They tried to sell then but nobody wanted it. Just before Musk they were also in financial catastrophe mode. Under Musk, that will likely continue for at least a year. It's a fundamentally unhealthy businesses.

I'd like to use a common Dutch expression to explain the Twitter situation: "the soup isn't eaten as hot as it is served".

Musk wants absolute free speech but that's just a random interview quote, not the actual plan for Twitter. Users are abandoning the service in droves. No, they are not. A handful of advertisers stop spending (conveniently part of an economic downturn) but that doesn't mean the vast majority do, or do so indefinitely. Twitter is an awful place now, whilst he hasn't implemented a single change yet. Checkmarks will get decimated whilst his original unhinged idea is already dialed back.

Everybody's jumping on all kinds of hysterical projections that are not supported by the facts. There is no meltdown.
Why would they even consider taking them over? They killed a competitor by declaring them as insolvent. The damage has been done. The user funds SBF siphoned out of FTX aren't coming back and doubt CZ is going to refund them out of pocket IF they take them over. The tech behind FTX is probably the same or worse than what Binance has. Customer acquisition happens anyway as the people still wanting to stay active in crypto will probably go to Binance.
I know of no state in the USA where a child not returning on time is enough to trigger an Amber alert.

>We SHOULD use government and the economy to make things better for people. There are certainly disagreements about what this means.

>"Forcing businesses to make money-losing investments" sounds like an accusation, like a sin, or like an evil thing to impose.

If you want businesses to pay more taxes (because of "their fair share" or whatever), that's fine. My only request is to call a spade a spade. If you think that businesses should be paying 1 billion euros more for climate change mitigation, enact a 1 billion euros tax. Raise corporate tax rates. Impose a levy on parking lots. Don't enact measures sound like not-taxes but are really taxes, like the legislation mentioned in the OP, or forcing them to donate to climate charities.

The existence of such a complicated workaround mainly serves as an official confirmation that you should just turn off auto fetch or not use force-with-lease.

Tories are absolutely itching to cancel HS2 at the point just after all the money has been spent and disruption incurred, but before the benefits can be realized.

So when an AFV gets smacked by a Stugna/Javelin etc, the entire squad is killed?

The reason the Russians are getting sandbagged is because they aren't doing combined arms; In some areas they have tanks, and infantry, but no artillery coordination. Arty is the best counter to ATGM teams, but you have to have the barrels, the field observers to aim it, all in coordination with the tanks and infantry (so you don't smack them). In other areas they have tons of infantry and artillery, but no tanks so they can't really advance.

Russia's BTG design isn't really around tanks, but instead AFVs. They use tanks as fire support for infantry, but the average battalion only started the war with around 10 tanks (vs 40 IFV). Of course some units were understrength, (and now much worse).

This makes the BTG very brittle when opposing forces have matching tanks and good ATGMs. Combine this with poorly trained infantry, and all those IFVs are just wasted.
