Do you really find them “on the left side of the spectrum”, or do you actually find them “to the left of your personal beliefs”? Those are not the same thing.

It is clear that GP commenter was comparing the positions of the U.S. Democratic and Republican parties to the positions of most mainstream parties in Europe. Have you got any examples in which the overall Democratic (let alone Republican) party policy would be considered left wing as compared to that of the parties in any European parliament or assembly?

GCC Rust Front-End v4 Posted – Now Cleared for Merging in GCC 13
Real parent, here.

Having a son anchored me to the (land and planet)* in a very unexpected way. Formerly, there was always an option to chuck things and go somewhere else, but now whatever is in front of me I must deal with and make happen. It's not about what I want to do any more, but the first underlying thought behind everything I do is how it will affect my son and family.

Lots of former options are closed. I can no longer start a relationship with a fun and beautiful but legitimately insane woman. I can no longer splurge my life savings on some risky venture. I can no longer spontaneously digital nomad. Heck, I can't really hit the local pub or have a night out without negotiation.

Is that terrible? I don't think so. It doesn't feel so. More, like, I do whatever I want within the bounds determined by my responsibility to someone who cannot care for himself yet.

I have a fatherly and calm personality, though, and I know it's not suited for everyone.

So, TL;DR: Not terrible. Anchoring. Limiting, but not oppressive.

* There's no really good word for this.
Seems like a lot of ongoing o&m and sustainment of an existing product, similar to any other day-to-day.

Do you have insight on what the proposal, design review, and first commits look like when architecting a brand new project? Like what do the first 30-60-90 days look like from product idea up to those o&m and sustainment activities?
Of course! Everything we do involves the creation and execution of binding legal contracts under UK law.

There are number of US states that ban them. There's a map near the bottom of the page here: https://www.tirebuyer.com/education/studded-winter-tires

I'd call attention to the "Upper Midwest": Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois. These are all states with severe winters and frequent snowfall, and all ban the use of studded snow tires.
Thanks for the reference. Your idea is that maintaining an official national database of people, linked to driver's licenses, would make it harder to commit fraud; is that right?

This was a genuine question. It's not obvious to me why it would matter which primary key people used in their customer databases, but fraud is also not something I worry about or really even think about.

I feel sorry for the author, I couldn't finish reading what he wrote because it was far too cringy.

Overpopulation is not an issue. The real issue is logistics. If someone says they won't have children because they "wouldn't want to miss sleeping" or "clean up after a baby", they clearly are using an excuse. For whatever reason, they deem themselves unfit to be parents. Let them be. People on the fence don't stay there very long, and people rarely switch sides. Better one pair of good parents than five negligent pairs.

> centrist pragmatism than it does the dogmatic progressivism

Correct, centrist pragmatism is the core of what US conservatives rail against universities regarding and deem "Leftist", "Woke", or "Progressive" due to modern propaganda bubbles.

It's hard to communicate this point through the haze of propaganda, sure to get worse with generative text. This is also why most techno-libertarian companies are deemed "leftist" -- broken barometer.
Very nice.

That said even C has already a way too rich and complex syntax. ISO is doing planned obsolescence with its syntax instead of fixing it, and no the linux kernel is not written in C, but using a gcc-massively-extended C dialect.

Then it needs discipline: c89 with benign bits of c99/c11/etc.

A good move is to write/use a C coded game engine, I wish godot was plain and simple C.
> It’s good news geopolitically

I actually think the opposite. It will be good for global supply chains but not geopolitics, because it reduces the reliance on Taiwan thus opening it up for assimilation.
I went out of my way to not do leetcode so I only had one because Glassdoor was wrong. I would ask the recruiter during the initial call where I also talked about salary so as yo not waste everyone's time. I cancelled a few interviews that I later found out were leet code, not because I don't want to do them but more I think the people you end up working with are better at testing than coding, from my experience.
I've tried Inkscape and GIMP. I'm sure they must be great pieces of software, but their usability is so awful it renders them useless for me. And they're not great options if your client provides/asks for adobe proprietary files (psds, ais...)
At this point it isn't a technology problem but a business problem. The tech exists, but how do you get everyone to adopt it? I genuinely wish I knew!

"avoid animal suffering wherever possible"

The slaughtering is not really the problem to me. Cannot be avoided, allright, I can live with that (but there are of course worlds between how the meat I like to eat was slaughtered, compared to the cheap meat from the supermarket, think a deer that died with a clean shot, compared to a animal waiting in stress and panic for hours or days before the slaughtering factory).

And what matters more, are the living conditions the animal had before the slaughtering. Like being outside in the sun and on real grass, compared to tightly locked inside the whole life, literaly living in their own shit.
Crypto could totally be a currency. The fact of the matter is that it sort of is. In its most raw terminology of currency. It is not however an insured currency.
So you will get all the fun things you get with that. Massive inflation/deflation, bank runs, sudden insolvency, probable scams, etc. Our current currency system is the way it is precisely of what you are seeing in real time in 'crypto'. These sorts of things happened many times before our central banks got involved and regulated them. If you want to see some real shenanigans read about the banks from the 1800s. History does not repeat itself but it sure rhymes.

I was not surprised it happened. The only thing that surprised me is that it took this long for someone to make an enron sized mistake.

The macro econ guys should have a ton of fun and probably a few papers out of it. As it looks like in addition to the probable fraud here there may be some new things to learn about monetary systems. In this case how crypt might actually be very tied to existing monetary systems they seek to get rid of. Which is an interesting result that crypto was promising to end.
Not sure this is appropriate but if anyone wants to interview with a really cool food delivery company [1](I know, I know -- I think we can make the business model work but if not, in the mean time, come help us try!) hit me up at alexandar dot narayan at delivery hero (no space) dot com. Or check out careers.deliveryhero.com. The culture is awesome, the pay is good, the stock price has a ton of upside potential. Work life balance is amazing here in Berlin. And we work with really large datasets and there's a lot that can be improved I am sure with your experience brought internally.

The company offers work visas, relocation assistance and a relocation bonus, and stock RSUs.

[1] I applied for a startup, on a lark, on one of HN's who's hiring in such and such month and landed at a startup in Hamburg. I am now in Berlin. HN changed my life!
You won't actually give UBI to geniuses. You will give UBI to whomever bureaucratic machine deems as genius.
Oh my and if they would finally fix that darn printing spooler which hangs exactly in the same way since Windows 3.1 with undeletable jobs and can't find a printer to save its life when you hop wireless networks...
Headlines on HN are getting steadily more cyberpunk and I'm here for it.
If it's in your contract where you promise not to work for anyone else without telling your employer, yes, it's illegal because breach of contract is illegal. But it's not illegal in its own right. However I doubt that they didn't make him sign a contract to the contrary so he's probably double dipping.
> With these pressures lessening more and more people are feeling empowered to explore their sexuality.

Emphasis mine. The comment is not, in fact, about letting children explore their sexuality, but people. (When you consider the parent of that comment, that still does not add context implying that we're talking about kids.)

The only part of the comment which discusses children is this:

> For the last several decades society put massive pressure on kids to conform to heteronormativity.

To read this as sexualizing children is misunderstanding the term heteronormativity, but regardless, this is the behavior that is being criticized, not championed.
Yes but also consider how long banking has existed, and yet this still happened just 30-40 years ago. Cryptocurrency exchanges are relatively nascent in comparison.

AeroPress (with the Fellow Prismo attachment), VSSL grinder, collapsible water kettle.

ABSOLUTE LIFESAVER while traveling. I often travel to places where I can't reliably get a good cup of coffee (either because of meeting times or the town not having a decent coffee shop that's not Starbucks).

Not a problem anymore with these three things. The VSSL grinder is relatively really expensive, but highly worth it given how precise its grinders are. I bring my own heat-sealed beans (4oz coffee bags are really cheap; 1000 for like $10, and you can heat seal with a curling iron) and brew a cup 45 minutes after I get up.

Consistent coffee, all of the time, no matter where I am.

It can even make iced coffee too.

Definitely a huge enhancement to my life.
>In a recession, the least useful people are probably HR.

I think you mean recruiters, not HR. Big difference.
But why don't these people consider where that money is now being spent? Perhaps it should be rephrased as residents saved $453 billion due to remote work

In retrospect it’s sort of insane that this sounds like a ton when that many dead animals pass through my local grocery store in… a week? Looking up the stats Costco sells 150k rotisserie chickens a day.
It's worth mentioning that all first-party titles are included in Xbox Game Pass (with day-and-date release), which is a tremendous value for players, hugely profitable, and probably the primary future direction for console gaming.

From my point of view, there were two big problems with WinRT when Microsoft started pushing it, and for a long time afterward: the biggest part of the API, the XAML UI framework, couldn't be adopted in an unsandboxed Win32 app until 2019, and there was no way to use that UI framework on Windows 7 (e.g. through an OS update or a backported redistributable runtime). So as a third-party developer looking at this in the mid-2010s (before I went to Microsoft), I could develop an app that ran on Windows 7, an app that used the native framework of Windows 8+, or both, but the same app couldn't do both. I chose to keep targeting Windows 7, and not use the newer UI framework.
I think it's funny that if everyone signed their blog posts, ChatGPT would try to "sign" its blog posts as well, and fail.

They are in fact well structured and not random at all. Take a look at this:

Many of those jobs would be at a significant pay cut though
The cost to a society of not having children is also quite high, so pick your poison.
So do the parents of children but it hasn't stopped flaws in Tesla's FSD. Not entirely directly comparable, sure, but it's the same attitude of "get it to market before it's ready".
Serverless Event-Driven Architectures
Indeed. But my argument is specifically that the norms around acceptable behaviour for a straight male have significantly narrowed from roughly the end of the 19th century to the 1960s.
A First-Hand Account of the Evolution of Rosbag
I was part of the core ROS team at Willow Garage back in the day and worked on the rosbag storage format. It has become quite an influential piece of software for the robotics industry, so I wrote a post about the evolution of the design and some thoughts about the future. Would love to hear your thoughts!
its much more important to young girls to be accepted socially than it is to boys.
It really does get harder. Babies are not really that hard. They're a lot of work, but each individual thing you have to do is easy. Annoying or gross, sure, sometimes. But changing a diaper takes about a minute. Night time can be tough at first but if you do a good job with sleep training it gets better pretty quickly. My wife breastfed, so most mid-sleep wakeups just become "go grab the baby and hook him onto Mom, make sure everyone has what they need, and go lay back down."

My sons are 8 and 6 now and that's much more difficult on some ways. They're 'people' enough that you can reason with them sometimes, but also sometimes they get trapped in completely ridiculous loops of illogic and emotion and you just have to ride it out while trying to remain calm. There's all kinds of dramas, illnesses, places to go, one thing after another.

Mostly though, being a dad is great, and I recommend it. I meet lots of folks my age who seem kinda directionless, like they can't figure out what's missing, and I think for many of them, family is that missing piece.

I've also met many DINKs who seem like they're having the time of their lives, so YMMV. I don't want to tell anyone how to live their life.

But there does seem to me to be a cultural knee-jerk ruling out of family among my generation that puzzles and saddens me. Everyone seems to think there are a million qualifications they have to meet before becoming a parent. "We need to have a house, and 100k in savings, etc etc etc." And yes, it's good to be prepared. But also, as long as you're a semi functional human, you'll make it work.

If you think you want to have children, you should!
A guy I worked with told me this advice and I wish I listened. We still had a kid early relatively to my other friends, I was 29 and wife was 27. It's better to be chasing around young kids when your 24 vs 34 I'll tell you that. But of course you're only as old as you feel.
Thankfully the voting suggests not.
The problem I have with this discussion is it pretends to treat animal welfare as an absolute, when in fact nobody does that or believes in that (apart form militant vegans perhaps).

There is a lot of biomedical research out there killing a lot of animals. Most of it is of dubious utility-- most of the low level stuff can be done in simpler organisms or simulation, lots of it is highly speculative with no applications in sight.

This research has a very high expected return, and it can't be done in simpler organisms. I do agree that it could probably have been done more carefully or more slowly and saved a few animal lives, but I am certain that this is a long long /long/ way from the worst example of this.
Indeed. It is clearly natural selection at work.
Where did you get that I was acting like he is some great role model?

If you read the entire thread, you will see that I made fun of him 29 years ago by feeding his own words into his own psychiatric diagnosis program (Emacs Doctor), which recognized his name, and criticized him for having hangups and inhibitions.

My point was that in spite of his acerbic but hilarious biting sense of humor, he has a valid point about natalism, despite being annoying and confrontational on purpose to make a point, not that he's a great role model.

>You people just have no sense of humor. I thought the original message was pretty funny and made a few good points (if it didn't, nobody would have been offended).

Babies are the worst. They take so much from you and you get so little back. Toddlerhood is when things start to get fun.

Babies cry for every reason and figuring out what’s wrong (if anything) was stressful. I felt that once my kids were able to communicate, everything got easier and waaaaaay more fun.

My kids are in college now and I’m so happy and proud of them but at the same time I realize that my parenting job is wrapping up. When I think about the past 20 years I’m a little sad because I should have been a much better parent. The deserved better. It’s also astonishing how quickly two decades passed.
toejam guy!

RMS has nothing good to say about children.
or barely succeed and have to make up the debt to technical design and process quality later, taking longer in the end than if you had built a solid foundation for your endeavor
If you are a curious person, someone generally fascinated by how the world works, raising children is an endless, powerful chance to understand what makes us as we are. (Not to mean that you should treat your children as experiments! Just that it’s one of the by definition unique benefit of raising children, you get to see their humanity unfurl)
I grew up in Texas smoking briskets and practicing at targets in family cookouts. Now I’m plant-based living in California and my three guns are collecting dust in my mom’s closet. To each their own, but I don’t see how culturally or logically either lifestyle would lead me to put a chip in my brain… though I’m sure a lot of people will when/if neuralink is viable, desirable and affordable, regardless of their habits and beliefs.
Geniuses tend to make a shitload of money already. And when they dont, there is a reason.
Is the ChatGPT threat to knowledge workers an actual threat (let's say in the timeframe of a decade) or only a perceived one? I don't think at the current performance of ChatGPT and similar models are enough to displace genius knowledge workers. Although I could see the possibility of ChatGPT-like models allowing more work to be done by fewer knowledge workers. And in this scenario, there is no guarantee that an "unfound" genius makes it through the new system.

Has ChatGPT been able to solve problems that are novel and unique in software engineering? For example, if you are a SE in a ninche domain, would this understand the domain specific language needed to code in that environment?
The question of how many people happen to genuinely be in the liminal space between male and female gender expression is very much an empirical matter, not about philosophy. In the real world, seemingly clear-cut binary distinctions and fuzzy, mysterious liminal phenomena are not opposed to one another; they can very much coexist.
I'm glad a housekeeper works for y'all, but to provide a contrarian view to round this out, I've found that doing a little bit of chores every day avoids the three hour pileups that you've described, i.e. throwing expired items out when they expire, doing the bed/clothes/etc every morning, etc. I personally would never ever pay for a housekeeper, but I'm also a neat freak!

I have no horse in this game but the Wikipedia page [1] doesn’t line up with the story you’re painting:

> On 30 April and 1 May, 2022, Solana experienced major outages due to being taken offline by bots.[18] On 1 June, 2022 Solana reportedly[19] suffered another outage due to a bug in how the blockchain processes offline transactions. On 1 October, 2022, the Solana network went down for 6 hours due to a single misconfigured node.

In a properly decentralized system, how does 1 misconfigured node take down the entire system? That looks like a single point of failure to me, something decentralized systems aren’t supposed to have. Can you elaborate how your distinguishing reliability and centralization in the context of single node failures?

This is so true. I can’t believe how much I love having a kid. And mine’s only 6 months old. I’m beyond excited to actually do things with him, like run around with him, or go skiing/ride bikes.
