You can get the same alerts via a non-broken (non-regulated) channel. There are apps for that.

The government mandated stuff just needs to be turned off because it's broken.
Taking the animal example here... if you do it the way the author suggested, then would the semantic meaning of $cat, $dog, $cow be lost somehow? (In that they're all an Animal). If you later on realized that $cat needed to do something special (i.e. have the graceful_landing property that no other animal has) - how is that done?

Just wondering - I'm a newbie at OOP :)
I am quite skeptical of this. There would have to be an API. There would have to be documentation for that. There would likely be keys assigned to individual apps.

Never had the misfortune of receiving an alert when wearing headphones. And this topic is terrifying because I have already configured the EQ on my phone to boost a bit the sound and around 80% is already really loud. I'd prefer if the alert had at least the option to bypass the jack output and instead use always the speakers.

Daft Punks first two albums weren't like that. They were a little darker and had a rawer production value with very simplistic (read: not very diverse) sounds running through them.

To be clear, this isn't a dig at Daft Punk. I love their early stuff. I'm just making a point that you cannot distill an artist or genre down to a single sentence and use that as an explanation for why you like something.
I have amber alerts disabled but still receive weather emergency notifications. Which makes sense. Perhaps it works differently in different states?

Yeah, the world's biggest economy ($23T GDP) that constantly sends payloads to outer space and back is third-world...maybe you could come live in a place with 80% of people below the poverty line and see what third-world is.

PyScript: Bytecode Alliance, Pyodide, and MicroPython
There is latency associated with coming out of deeper C-states (from hundreds of microseconds to milliseconds, depending on the transition, which may include L1 and L2 cache flushes, etc.), so it isn't just the power. It's faster, too.

It might reduce throughput of a single-threaded process, but perhaps not even that if it avoids bouncing cache lines around to different cores.

Remember, though, that almost all timers never reach expiration, anyway, so the real savings here is the 25% reduction in the time to set or cancel a timer. That work, if it ever gets done, is now deferred to when a CPU is about to go idle, which (by definition) means it has nothing better to do.

Large corporations are insane. Every small and medium company would wait to do layoffs until it threatened the business. Some even until after that point. Layoffs are awful.

Large corps, nah. Just lay people off if we get a little nervous!

Note, I don't think these corps are entitled to employ you. Absolutely not. I just think the corporate situation we got ourselves in is really nasty.

Mild recession? How are you not understanding the global macro set up right now? Europe will see a ~10 year recession, possibly the worst ever. America may fare better but there's no way you're getting away with a "mild" recession.

I use a plugin called Image Toolkit [0]. When you click on an image it opens an overlay that lets you zoom and do some light editing.

MIT has a living wage calculator that claims in my U.S. county a single person not in a relationship needs $ 37,169 before taxes to support themself.

The language that for the past 50 years has:

1. consistently had much faster compilation times than C++ or Rust

2. consistently generated some the smallest binaries

3. consistently ended up in #1 on programming language benchmarks

4. consistently been used to write the worlds OS kernels, where speed is critical

does not have _strong evidence_ that is going to continue to deliver better performance than C++ or Rust?

On the contrary, there is no evidence that Rust will ever be as fast as C. The burden on proof is on you and Rust to support your bold claims. C++ is in a different boat - it already tried to displace C in the 90s and it has been successful only in the environments where its other properties are a much more needed advantage, not for being faster than C. That's where Rust will end up - in between Java and C++. It will never displace C, because you pay for runtime safety with CPU cycles. Static analysis can only get you so far.

Even Java's JIT, which got everyone excited about beating C in the early 2000s, failed miraculously at being faster than C, even if it could generate better assembly code at runtime, precisely because extra features cost cycles which necessarily slow down execution speed, so you're not the first group of people with starry eyes and bold claims about performance and C.

As far as the generic simd hashmap goes, it will always be slower than a specialized custom built hashmap in C, even if it takes longer to code it and has more bugs.
> this is undefined behaviour, use that to optimise

Optimization is a very large part of the reason for having undefined behavior at all. Viewed from that perspective, I don’t see how the existence of std::unreachable is at all odd. Also, it’s not like anyone is required to use it.

Maybe less relevant now that a lot of companies are still remote. In the past when a company cuts back on office perks, such as snacks, it’s often a leading indicator of financial issues and possible looming cuts.

Ask HN: Simple CRM?
I'm searching for what I would term a simple CRM solution, but all I seem to find is a bunch of products that are bloated and not really what I need. Could anyone help recommend a CRM (or am I looking at the wrong product category?) that can meet these requirements.

- Maintain a list of companies.

- Categorize companies into groups.

- Maintain a (small) list of contacts at each company.

- Create a recurring campaign, targeting a group. E.g., "Quarterly Site Visit" that repeats quarterly. Track completion date and generate reports showing outstanding items in the campaign.

- Create one time campaigns. E.g, "Send 2023 catalogs". Same tracking and reporting as previous item.

- Export email and addresses of contacts to import to another tool for emails and label printing.

- Log time stamped notes about each company.

I would really appreciate any suggestions. Open to SaaS or something I need to host.

> Particularly in this instance, wherein we have rich countries offering services at a discounted rate, it's actually hugely beneficial to almost everyone.

This seems highly debatable in several fronts and likely is dependent on the specific circumstances of each market. In some cases it may function like providing cheap food and clothing, where it can be beneficial in the short term, but often causes mid to long term economic damage to the receiving economy by putting local producers/providers out of business.

Whether beneficial or not, the motivation behind this geographic price fixing is absolutely not fairness, but profit maximization.

While companies are free to charge prices they wish in different countries, I think it is against our self interests to have laws that help enforce this price discrimination. Consumers are already at a power disadvantage here, giving companies more power to charge the highest price they can only worsens that disadvantage.

> PPP is not going to be the driving force for pricing for any company that's sophisticate enough to do this - they will find the right price in France the same way they do in America. The PPP is a secondary measurement.

It was literally cited as the basis for the solution being discussed in TFA. I didn't say that PPP gaming was anything new (which is why I cited old examples) but pointed out that this already existing issue will become larger if the approach described in the article spreads.

> The problem in Argentina is that their leaders are corrupt and a bit dumb. Not an 'index'.

While Argentina is especially bad. Leaders are corrupt and dumb all over the world. However, the behavior I am referencing in Argentina was absolutely directly related to the Big Mac Index since they directly manipulated the price of Big Macs specifically. Their other manipulations of PPP are harder to attribute, but that one is pretty clear.
Is it possible it's only a specific combination of hardware and software that's having this issue?

We don't have amber alerts in my country (or at least I never got one). However Mi wireless earbuds + Nokia X10 for some reason reset to a painfully loud 100% volume when receiving a call. I can lower the volume in settings, but on next call it resets to 100% again. Same phone with a different Bluetooth headphones and same headphones with different phone work fine.

I don't know the whole software stack to point fingers whose fault it is, but there must be a bug either in this specific phone's Bluetooth implementation, Android 12 or the Mi earbuds.
It'll be like the wars in Iraq and Libya. Vitally important at the time, but you can't find anyone now who will say they supported them.

Then again, how can you blame people? Most people do what they are told, and the person who glared at you last year for breaking some Covid rule or the other could equally likely have a conversation with you today about some horrible outcome they've had thanks to Covid restrictions, and never link the two.

Amber alerts are not related to tornadoes
But on the same note, sorting is also done by swapping elements.
It sounds like HN satire.
> Why are they useless?

I can’t speak to tornado alerts, but the Amber Alert child alerts were becoming excessive and useless in my state.

I was getting alerts from many hundreds of miles away, often while trying to sleep. Other times they’d forget to put relevant information in the first alert so they’d send several more to follow up. When we finally got a series of multiple Amber alerts in the middle of the night, most of the people I know turned them off.

The system may have started with good intentions, but it was mismanaged and abused so much that it became useless.

SAW2 is one of my desert island albums for sure.

SAW has some great tunes, but it's basically just a compilation of some of his better early tunes. SAW2 is a properly cohesive album, a milestone ambient album. Peaceful and spooky, just enough sourness and dissonance to keep coming back to since it was brand new in the mid 90s.

I think Dorsey, based on his politics view influenced how twitter (and who worked on twitter doing that) does moderation and per consequence lead to this discussion about how good the "censorship for good" is. I think highly controversy somebody that donated a lot of money to the Democrats to control the public discourse. In that matters, I think Musk - foreigner and genius - much less connected and skeptical with any side (red or blue)[1] than Dorsey or any other twitter leader before Musk.

Software engineering is far more saturated than it was in 2000 and 2008. In 2008, Amazon, Apple, and Google all had a seemingly endless room to grow. The iPhone, Android, AWS, and video steaming were still in their infancy. There's nothing like that right now. There are definitely a lot of exciting innovations in ML and VR, but I think it will be a while before these technologies find a mainstream consumer use case.
I live in Texas. I get Amber alerts for missing children that are 8 hours of interstate driving away from me. That's completely useless.

I really like this product. Reading the documentation, it's not clear how to set the auth credentials per topic. Any way to clarify this?
It’s likely one of those edge cases that nobody cares to solve. It probably involves some scoping issue where one system doesn’t know the conditions of the downstream system.

Emergency volumes are supposed to be loud, and override the volume settings.

The thing making that override doesn’t know what the actual audio output channel is, or what “loud” means on that channel.

Users “reverse opt in” to amber alerts by not turning them off. Most people just these off. There’s way too many of them, and the vast majority of these are a custody dispute escalation. Don’t feel bad for shutting these off.

With this fact pattern the issue never makes it to the top of the stack to solve.
