> This feels a little defensive, but also pretty out of line with the philosophy of the C++ standards committee. The committee has been aggressively stapling every new leg they could find to that dog for decades. They just chose not to staple this particular leg on until now.

Your comment doesn't bear any resemblance with reality. C++ started with a spartan standard library and only recently did it standardized it's file system API.

Compare that with what, say, POCO already offers. Or Boost. Or java/C#/Python/etc.

What exactly led you to believe that absurdity?

I'm pretty sure you can even still sync original iPods on Macs released 20 years later.

Can't say about 20 years, but I synced both of my 17-year-old iPods to my M1 Mac over the weekend.
> I'm looking examples where a car manufacturer dropped their prices overnight by 20%. Do you have example of those?

Every week? That's a ridiculous question, and you know it. Luxury car brands never sell for MSRP. Everything is always "discounted", and by a different amount for every sale. You genuinely think those price changes are not due to market factors? The only reason you're even able to assert this point is that Tesla, almost alone among major manufacturers, sells directly to customers for a fixed sticker price.

I don't understand these pieces ... like, quit your job. I don't give a shit that you make a lot of money at a bank and you aren't fulfilled, what did you think was going to happen?
I’m earning the most money I’ve ever made and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been even. It doesn't mean everything in my life is perfect, far from it, but that money is a huge help.

Doubling my salary and being paid what I am worth by doing what I wanted to do brought me a peace of mind I never had in the last five years (since I immigrated to a new country). I do not have to worry about so many things anymore, it's truly amazing and liberating. I can focus on what truly matters. I can take risks. I can plan for the future without having to go to the depression realm of looking for a better paying job.

Did I hate the jobs I did before? Some of them, but the money aspect stressed me a thousand times more than the work itself. When you don't like your job and do not have the money, you have to worry about both. When it's only your job, you know what to focus on and if you have enough savings, you can be bold and take risks.

A few years ago, I read this NYT article titled "Your Job Will Never Love You Back" [1] and that tagline is stuck in my head since then. Your work doesn't define you and even your dream work will have boring parts.

I'd suggest to go to therapy to focus and work on yourself. Better days are yet to come!

So +0, +infinity, -0, -infinity, no NaNs?
Same in my case. I quit my first software job because it made me feel so meaningless and depressed. I was immediately happier. I quit my second job because they overworked me. Same result.

I have less money now, but I don’t care. I’m much happier being where I am now.

People underestimate just how much work life affects your entire life.
Ask HN: Light weight architectures for ChatGPT-based web app
As AI applications are suddenly booming due to the recent development of AI model such as ChatGPT. I'm wondering what are the best/typical light weight architectures and tech stacks for ChatGPT-based web apps such as https://chat.openai.com/ so that we can rapidly test a lot of ideas.

I knew/researched some options below but not sure what's the typical combination of them or some further details.

- Frontend: React/Vue/Angular. Easy to decide (hint: ask ChatGPT). But how about UI frameworks/libraries? where to host it? vercel?

- Backend: Node.js? is express.js still a good/typical choice? but how about Serverless? Do we need Socket.io alike frameworks to do chat(bot) based web apps? where to host the backend? vercel can do the job too or AWS or GAE?

- DB: traditional DB or Firebase alike?

How to create the web app project? I guess it's frontend or backend framework dependent.

Sorry for those beginner questions as my tech background is limited to my iOS + some Java + some RoR days.
He wrote quite a lot about the difficulty of solving a series of events in Meereen in the lead up to A Dance With Dragons, which he referred to as "The Meereenese Knot".

Looking at this analysis on Reddit, GRRM mentioned this particular piece of trouble multiple times over a 5-6 year period ( https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/2pp2m8/spoilers_all... ).

The crazy thing is that, based on what we saw in the series, much of the Meereen plot _doesn't even figure into the endgame_. I'm sure George has bigger plans, but Daenerys in Meereen seems to be at best the run-up to where her plot ultimately leads in the books, and yet George is spending years and years adding dozens of characters and solving a knot of plotting that seems like a sideshow! How he'll ever get to the point in his remaining lifespan is beyond me. The man is 74. Even giving him an extremely generous 20 more years of life, he's just not on pace to finish the series unless something changes very, very soon.

Meanwhile he's writing back story for Elden Ring, working on a series of TV shows, writing lore books and prequels to ASOIAF. Sadly the dude just seems to have lost the steam required to take it to the finish line.

It's extremely sad as ASOIAF is legitimately great.
> they’re safe and effective against severe cases

The majority of people now being hospitalized and dying of Covid are vaccinated.[1]

How is that safe and effective? You want to argue you're better off being vaccinated vs unvaccinated, you make that argument. Nobody gets to call it safe and effective anymore, the data says it's not true.

> Most people are going to install Windows and Windows works out of the box with secure boot enabled.

Hum... I can't recall a single person that brought a personal computer and then installed Windows on it on the last 2 decades.

That happens with corporate computers, sure. But sysadmins know how to enable secureboot.
AZDO is general term for techniques that reduce driver overhead, not limited to persistent mapping.

OpenGL drivers have a habit to try to second-guess the application (though this depends on the driver, eg. Nvidia guesses a lot, Mesa not so much), but passing/not-passing GL_CLIENT_STORAGE_BIT to glBufferStorage should decide whether buffer should reside in CPU/GPU side memory.

In D3D11 directly mapped GPU memory is known as D3D11_USAGE_DYNAMIC.
The web session is untrusted, and they have a trusted connection to the OS known to belong you.

Don’t know how it is implemented exactly, but on the OS level they can do a lot of clever tricks. From their servers they can literally send a challenge-response protocol to the secure enclave of your computer, thus verifying that on the other end of the encrypted connection they are trully talking with a computer manufactured by them, and that computer is the one which is registered to your account.

If they implement this correctly they can make an attack against this chain of trust very costly.

On the other hand on the web they get a http querry with some cookie attached. Maybe. Lot harder to gain the same level of assurances there. And a simple cross site scripting attack, or a compromised browser extension can steal said cookie.
In theory it would make bootkits (ie. malware that installs themselves as the bootloader, thereby being able to compromise/remain undetected for every subsequent step) harder to pull off. It's not part of my threat model though, because if malware made it onto my machine I'd be doing a full wipe. Also, this xkcd is pertinent: https://xkcd.com/1200/
1. The author has prior blog posts talking about this activation function, and apparently it does help to learn binary logic tasks.

2. I doubt this matters at all here. For some architectures having inputs be 0 on average is useful, so the author probably just picked it as the default choice.

We don't have a lot of generations before major changes happen.

I believe that we won't prevent anything: we'll just try to survive to whatever happens, more or less successfully.
There's the simple good stuff: single assignment in a method/function, filter/map/reduce. Some better stuff: Option/List & flat_map, Either/Result & and_then, elimination of most mutable state in OOP. The initializer/constructor is pretty much used for DI and other fixed context rather than mutable state.

The best part is thinking in terms of data and transformations of that data, whether you compose the functions first or run data through a pipeline.

I've been applying this for some projects in a RoR codebase and the team seems to like it way more than others' more Ruby idiomatic but widely-varying styles. It wouldn't be nearly as useful without Sorbet static typing.

I was doing the Advent of Code in Rust and was disappointed to find that using for loops is substantially more convenient than functional constructions.

Where does that come from? I struggle to see how any person living in the first world could be amongst those with the smallest carbon footprint.
True - maybe it shows it afterwards, but adding a new phone number doesn't require password entry or Face ID. As for removing the existing number, I can't remove mine until I de-register it from iMessage & Facetime (since it's the number on the phone), so maybe they turned those off or they popped in a new SIM card.
Q for all who are expressing this. A lot of job descriptions today emphasize a passion for "making impact". What is lost on most of us is impact by numbers rather than impact by percentages. Eg being part of a 1000 person <insert branded platform team> your one line fix is experienced by a billion users for a minute a year. Billion sounds sexy doesn't it? Impact by numbers.

How does one frame the other way. Ie I don't care if only a 1000 users experience it, but I'd rather be part of a 10 person team pushing out while features used by 1000 users for hours each day.

I dunno if such roles exist and pay reasonably enough and are sustainable? And how does one politely disregard other kinds of impact in favor of this?
How does that work? There's plenty of use cases for a domain that don't involve hosting a public website.

> nd the pool filter pump are within a meter or two of each other, these devices cannot be used effectively due to impractical tolerances and insulation needed to mitigate losses from contact with the highly variable outdoor environment.

that makes no sense. effective insulation is no problem at all. In large parts of europe they even have centralized water heating and run insulated hotwater pipes to houses across kilometers without huge losses, hell, for this kind of setup it would even be possible to just run refridgerant, which typically specs at ~15m for minisplits as maximum(with very minor losses) distance

Just because clinical symptoms of myocarditis resolve after 14 days does not mean the subjects in question will not suffer increased risk from cardiac scarring on an ongoing or even permanent basis.

beelink has something similar, minus the arduino, for 209 on amazon, and is actually available
But if that’s the case, then a record is the wrong data type for what you’re doing anyway, since you can call the primary constructor at any point with those same un-validatable values.

It’s not “with” that’s problematic. If a record doesn’t work for what you’re trying to do, just use a class.

Though I will say that this is why I generally think ML’s (i.e. OCaml, Standard ML) approach to encapsulation with modules is generally superior to using classes for encapsulation.
You can both be right, is the thing.
"extremely low risk" could still be of marginal benefit depending on how high your risk is for severe outcomes from COVID. It could be quite low if you are reasonably young, in good health, and have already recovered from an infection.
If so, then we've failed. Nothing is built to utilize you and make you into a cog, a sucker, and sees you like a wallet, more than the city..
One of the nice things about CGI was that by starting a new process per request it provided isolation between requests.

You can certainly improve your happiness incrementally. From little things like getting shoes that fit better to things like moving to a climate that fits you better. Reducing annoyances and distractions.

Yeah in the limit you can't achieve capital-H Happiness with a change in physical circumstance but I don't think that's what's at stake here.
This is very adorable. Thank you for sharing this story with us today.
It does especially when learning from the article, with Argentina's average income, earning an extra device is no small feat:

"An iPhone is not cheap in general, and in Argentina less so. The current price for an iPhone 13 is ca. 400.000 ARS, which roughly translates to 2200 USD or 1300 USD at the unofficial rate (it's complicated). With an average monthly salary of 427 USD (according to Numbeo) you can see that getting a new iPhone is not a choice to take lightly."
Not physically. Bad for our souls.
> I’ve also never had any luck with this and am increasingly convinced some people aren’t destined to be happy.

Roughly everyone. Happiness is an unattainable construct designed to sell you more stuff and experiences. It isn’t real.

Contentment, though, now that’s achievable. But it doesn’t get talked about because it doesn’t monetize well.

The Oatmeal has my favorite explanation/take on this: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/unhappy
It seems reasonable to me that this is not a compile time constraint, but rather one of tooling and the deployed environment- ie: is the Japanese translation available here at runtime? How? Is there a runtime configuration flag? Is the translations file available at runtime? Is the date formatter configured appropriately?

Maybe if you bake in assumptions about the deployed environment at compile time you can catch errors earlier for your specific environment, but all environments? No. That’s not the responsibility of the standard library and given the language lacks a single specific runtime target- definitely not the responsibility of the language/compiler. This is instead a classic use case for tests and opinionated (optional/third party) libraries instead.
I think the article describes it pretty well, it actually highlighted a few features of npm I wasn't familiar with. But to speak to my own experience, it's convenient that npm installs all the packages you need into a project-local node_modules folder. This eliminates the need for venv.

Mostly I just want to see venv eliminated. I really don't like the workflow it requires.

I believe that change is to enable Secure Boot by default. Changes like this and enabling the CPU-integrated TPM by default have happened all across product lines in the past year or so due to Windows 11 requirements.

I applied an update with that changelog line recently and it definitely now turns Secure Boot on (presumably in this "non-enforcing" state mentioned in the article) by default when it previously didn't.
One takeaway: a cloud account isn't a sufficient backup on its own. If you have to log into Apple/Google to download your files and photos, then they're at risk. Make regular backups to an external hard drive or something, and ideally have your stuff automatically back up to a NAS somewhere as well.

Also, after reading this I'm going to have to think about what would happen if someone stole my phone. I take it everywhere with me. It's not an iPhone, but it's still worth a few hundred dollars and it has all kinds of data and logged-in accounts on it. I assume if it was stolen at gunpoint, I wouldn't be in a position to refuse to unlock it and unlock some apps/accounts.
Keep it away from AAA. AAA means bloatware. Keep it lean and clean and modular. Focus on ease of use, not making millions off the engine.
Each of these devices have their own flaws, and I'm not sure how well they deal with Apple exclusives (Ted Lasso etc.).

I think Apple made an effort to have apps on other platforms, but there will also be content providers that are only in the TV AppStore. Also, Amazon will have its content everywhere, and I don't remember any Google exclusives.

All in all, I wouldn't be surprised if TV buffs chose the Apple TV as their gateway to exclusive content, even if they have no other devices in the ecosystem.

It doesn't get that cold in most places in Australia does it?

Heat pumps need to be scaled for the maximum heating or cooling load, whichever is greater. The optimal situation is that the heating and cooling loads are similar, but in colder parts of the U.S. the heating load is much larger than the cooling load and the case for the heat pump is not so good as a place where the need for heating and cooling are more balanced.
It's one of those things like "time heals all wounds". Nobody likes to hear it when the wound is fresh, but it's absolutely true. When you're younger, FOMO is much stronger. As you get older, FOMO starts to get replaced with "who gives a...". With that in mind, age might matter
That walks me through doing things on an iPhone I don't own, what am I missing? The familylink.google.com page lets me manage my kids' devices directly on that webpage, which is the feature I would like Apple to have.
