I understand, but this is an open source compiler. It's meant to be used by anyone who is interested in the language, or maybe by companies that wish to replace their quite expensive compiler licensing fees with an open source solution.

I don't see this as a product that needs to attract customers. It's free and open source, anyone can use it.

And are there an abundance of tech jobs there like there are in the HCOL areas? Remote work is shrinking, and while it'll be here to stay, there will be far fewer opportunities as companies rein it in. If we look at the housing market alone, it looks like there's a big crash in these 'low cost of living' cities people flocked to from SF and NYC as they move back.
You're not completely incorrect, but the US has a far far better geography than Mexico, and it's not even close.

In a similar light, I recently spent some time working with modern Fortran, and was amazed to find it a modern, efficient, and intuitive language for scientific computing that in many ways makes Python look archaic. Not at all what I was expecting given its age And reputation.
> In Europe, outside of the south, mosquitoes are pretty tame.

Use to be... native species were mostly a problem during summer and during night time.

But since about 15 years ago you had a massive spread of invasive Asian Tiger mosquitos (Aedes albopictus) genomic studies show it was likely introduced via Italy and Albania simultaneously.

Those things are nasty, go 24/7, and are just a very different beast in terms of disease vector.

There are already established population pockets as far North as Switzerland. Yet another problem that is likely to worsen as temperatures continue to rise.

If you find this story interesting, I strongly recommend you read the new biography of Gorbachev:

https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393647013

By the time Yeltsin visited that grocery store, Gorbachev had been working for decades to put himself into a position of power so that he could carefully shift the USSR to a liberal Democratic government with a market economy. The fact that he actually got himself into position to execute this plan is mind blowing. I don’t think I have ever read a book which so radically reshapes how I view a piece of history.
You know, I really haven't thought about that, but now that you mention it, I have heard before that in Emacs, the advice facility is very useful to the goal.

Well, all I can say is that I see no problem in adding speech output or in adding advice. The system is going to be very flexible to the end user.
Now russians have everything they wish and more yet behave like barbarians. Some cultures never change and they wish the same for everyone in their neighbourhood. Perhaps karma and sanctions will revert that country to the state they deserve.

A Map of Nostr Relays
But even then the point still stands: you wouldn't want a non-custom debug representation of the iterator precisely because of the cost. You could create a new-type that wraps your iterator and implements a custom `Debug` impl with the contents you desire. Here the issue at play seems to be a disagreement on what is more useful in a Default implementation: a preview of the results of the iteration or a representation of the type structure. I believe that which of the two is more useful depends entirely on what you're using the Debug info for (with the caveat that going from the later to the former in your head is possible, but the other way around isn't).
China’s Population Falls, Heralding a Demographic Crisis
This is a thoughtful comment compared to the debates raging above. It makes you think we've fallen (yet again) into the trap of the utopia, the paradise ideal, namely freedom not to do this (where this is software engineering instead of something else, or living in an urban setting instead of a rural one; both sets of ideals described above).
You really think that it won't be the pampered prima donnas who won't use an AI which is trained on your code but just like chatgpt outputs nonsense to replace you?
> But I don't think they've "solved" software engineering; they've only solved "what you boss thinks software engineering is".

That's still bad, though, because your boss makes hiring and salary decisions.

Maybe in the end it's a kind of "great filter" - companies and bosses that can't tell the difference don't survive. But a lot of good programmers can get fired before the clueless bosses die off...
Well, that's also a technicality. The DSM-V does not recognize comorbidity of ASD and ADHD - if you have ASD you can't have ADHD.

It might just be that the DSM-V is wrong and that those people have both ASD and ADHD
On top of that, you could provide a `format` macro that shadows the language item and does support gettext or similar (although that might not be true with regards to the f-string support).
No problem. I don't often share the details because I don't want to assume that what worked for me would work for others. Here are a few more details:

- There is a rule of thumb that you need 20-25x your annual expenses in networth. So if you spend $8k a month, you can retire at a net worth of just between 2 and 2.5 million.

- Whenever I refinanced I always round down to the nearest loan term. A lot of people refinance and start their 30 year mortgage clock over. My goal was to have no debt.

- Because I was saving towards a multiple of my monthly expenses I did some extra things to lower those expenses before quitting like getting solar so I don't have an electric bill and getting a $5k used electric car so eliminate fuel costs.

- If your net worth is in equities you can take ~$80k in capital gains tax free each year. This puts your $80k withdraw closer to $100k in an equivalent salary.
Can I ask why that’s not at all surprising to you?
The disconnect in your answers probably come from each other's expectations.

Parent mentions Google family link, whih can be setup and managed from litteraly everywhere. There's an iOS app and a fully functional website, so you can have no other android device than your kids, and still control everything.

Your kid can be visiting their grand parents and ask you to authorize some purchase or extra screen time, you'll be able to do it from your Windows computer.

That's the standard iOS' parental control is compared to.

I still hope for the The OA continued in some form one day. Book, short story, graphic novel, comic, animated, audio/podcast, picture book, anything.
Simple answer – lifestyle creep. Over the years as you get older and keep moving up in your career you get accustomed to increasingly finer things in life. It's perfectly normal to drive a beater in your 20s, but you don't want to take your kids to soccer practice in one. It's normal to couch surf with friends when traveling in your 20s, but not when you are on a family vacation to Disneyland. Add in a hundred more of these and suddenly that $40K/yr that seemed like a king's ransom a couple decades ago isn't quite enough to make ends meet.

> using all kinds of libraries emulating services provided by the mainframe OS/environment

Can you give an example of "services provided by the mainframe OS/environment" that could be practically/scalably emulated on a microcomputer architecture using library shims? Because those honestly sound like the sorts of things one might want to use even for non-legacy purposes :)
Take note of things in your day-to-day which annoy you.

I became a product owner for a team running 3-week sprints, and kept finding myself being caught out in stakeholder meetings - being asked for prospective delivery dates relative to our sprint cycles. I have others on my team to organise ceremony dates and handle the Jira stuff etc, I just needed something to glance at on my phone within a few seconds.

I'm not a developer by trade so it's nothing fancy, but I made https://sprintcalendar.com and I use it most days at work now. I can't see how I'd monetize it, but it was fun to put together and solved a problem I had.
> They'll be making huge software-style margins on FSD in 2024 and beyond.

I think other companies might come close. They might not have Tesla style "FSD", but coming close in terms of highway only, slow speed only, might be enough to make Tesla a "car company".

Mercedes has already started its approval for L3 self-driving in the US, where they would assume liability. A lot of other cars have a subset of "Autopilot + FSD" features like: adaptive cruise control, auto-park, summon, better lane assist*. Sure, these are not the same as Tesla FSD, but in a few years other manufacturers will come close enough.

One big factor in why Tesla is/seems ahead is because they are using regular people to "test" their "FSD", when other companies are being more cautious.

Tesla could showcase their "FSD" by having "full self-driving" teslas in certain cities, and applying for licenses, but they haven't.
Sometimes though we shouldn't have the AI write the code first.

So many times, I look over things people copy and pasted piece by piece from blogs and stackoverflow, when if they thought about it for 5 minutes, they'd realize a simpler implementation would have worked and been easier to write in the end. AI, if chatgpt is any indication, is moving toward overly flowerly and long prose while telling lies, that is stuff that looks "impressive" at a glance like the large ornate class hiearchies of java and c++ in the 90s looked but are things that could be done in a shell script.

I am worried then that like stackoverflow, AI will make a generation of developers who are extremely lazy and not critically thinking, just like stackoverflow did, and leave more of a mess for us to pick up after. Of course, in the midst of this, management won't know the difference. Just like chatgpt sounding impressive as it tells falsehoods, AI-code will look impressive to fools.
> Yes, it's called amphetamine.

Just about any stimulant will work.

Eg adrenaline/epinephrine works fairly well. Your body produces that itself, especially when exercising or fidgeting. (And now you know one reason why ADHD people often fidget.)

Methylphenidate works, too. It's also known as Ritalin.
As someone who works for a DMP/DSP provider which implements UID2, Let me clarify 3 things

1. It is against IAB terms of service for partners to store a map of UIDs to PII (email and phone). Many clients do NOT want to share PII with DMPs, and so IAB also allows clients to submit SHA-2 hashed PII for identification. So if you are afraid of UID implementations selling your email, all I can say is that its against the terms of service to do so in conjunction with a UID

2. UID2 DSP Workflow implementations must provide an opt-out endpoint to them so that your UID won't be used in targeted advertising if you choose. This does not require them to purge your UID from their records or any info associated with it, but they must ignore that info in bid requests if you have requested to opt-out.

3. IAB is currently the main provider of UID2, but the system is designed so anyone can become a provider. IAB may not be the one handling your PII or UID. It is intended to be a decentralized system to solve the coming death of proprietary 3rd party tracker cookies.

Philosophically, we the users must accept that the price of free content is advertisement. If we want to continue to receive content, we must consent to some level of tracking and targeted advertising, or we must become okay with paying a monthly subscription for internet content. Without targeted advertising and a decentralized RTB ecosystem, there is no open internet; Google and Facebook will dominate everything, and small sites will be unable to compete
Author here. We do not know for sure how they unlocked it, but the phone was locked with a numerical pin. My guess is that those numbers must have been easy to see on the screen based on the smudges alone. I wanted to ask for more details, but I decided against further traumatizing him with my (as far as he's concerned) pointless geeky questions.

Also, trivia for iPhone users: my brother used to have Face ID set up, but he disabled it because he couldn't figure out how to set up a second face and it was annoying when he needed to share the phone with his wife. So don't do that!
Ask HN: What are great resources to catch up C++?
I programmed C++ more than 10 years till around 2015. Most of my coding were using C++98, a little bit C++11. Now I am about to come back to C++ dev. I checked out some C++ code online, seems STD library has a lot more added, lamda is fairly popularly used (maybe recommended?), etc. Somehow the C++ code look to me quite foreign. Is there any great resource for people like me to re-connect with the latest C++?

I believe my OO understanding is still solid, just want to catch up.
this is what DAOs are. There are a bunch of them, but so far they haven't accomplished the things they set out to do and have generally been at best a disorganized mess that accomplishes nothing and at worst a straight rug pull.

I don't know where the heck all this extra electricity for heat pumps and electric car charging is going to come from. In CA if you get a slightly hotter than average summer their electrical grid goes into chaos. Get a slightly colder than normal winter and the north east and central grid freaks out. I'm all for transitioning to renewable energy (nuclear makes the most sense if you take emotion and bullshit out of it) but we have a long way to go before we can just ditch gasoline, diesel and natural gas any time soon. Heck how many millions of US homes will have to get their electrical service upgraded, never mind the base electric infrastructure?
On the contrary modern houses often rot because of the water barrier. Condensation gets trapped in the wall and it rots really fast. If you insulate your old house from the inside you wont have this issue. I spent the last 3 years remodelling at 1875 house and we opened all the walls to spray urethane foam. It sealed all the cracks between the wood beams but still leaves the exterior untouched to moisture can leave.
It's not that it's a wrong stance per se. But the notion that you can ward the truly malicious actors from indexing content that you yourself made public by saying that you don't want them to is kinda ridiculous.
So glad they remembered to support these widely known trademarks: “FLOW-MATIC® (trademark of Sperry Rand Corporation), Programming for the 'UNIVAC® I and II”.

This post is way to bullish on ChatGPT for coding, and underestimates how big the gap is between ChatGPT and a mid level FANG eng. ChatGPT is very impressive in what it can do, but if you deviate problem statements even a little bit from what it's seen before, it completely fails.

Just an example try asking it to write Battleship in Python. It does very well. But then, try changing the rules a bit, and adding some requirements. It spits out code that looks correct if you squint, but has terrible style, and often doesn't even work. Check out the test prompt [1].

Maybe GPT-4 is 1000x better at coding, but barring that, I don't see ChatGPT being useful as a replacement for human coders.

[1] Prompt: Write a version of Battleship with modified rules for sinking a ship. In this version, a ship is sunk when the "head" and "tail" of the ship (its beginning and end parts) are hit. Hits to the center do not matter. Use object oriented programming, with classes for the Board and for Ships. There should be support for multiple ships and two board instances. Write it in Python.
We had 2 out of 3 bad experiences with Airbnb in the UK a couple months ago. Not sure we'll be using them again. They don't give the renter much recourse if the listing isn't as promised and you want to change to another airbnb. 1 of the 3 were awesome though so I guess you have to read the description, sleuth the pictures and ask even more questions.
In 1995 I had the pleasure to be part of a State Department sponsored "cultural exchange" with our then new friends in the Russian Federation.

Basically it amounted to myself and about a dozen others, organized into a small chamber orchestra going to Russia for a summer, and in exchange a group of Russians formed into folk/pop entertainment group visiting and staying with us for a while during the school year.

I can't say that 1995 in post-USSR Ekaterinburg was incredibly different than 1991's pre-Russia Sverdlovsk. There were a few bits of free market showing up, but the general economic situation there was pretty dire. Even for me, who grew up in a very rural area and quite poor, felt like I came from nearly unimaginable wealth.

A couple years later the State Department and Russia repeated the exchange and I had a chance to show my host mother around the local shopping malls and such. The "change" from communism had already happened, the Russians by then were by and large waiting for America to arrive.

It was an amazing experience, once in a lifetime, and it has given me lots of both wanderlust and perspective that I've carried with me for the rest of my life. I was very happy to see the improvement in standard of living in many parts of Russia over the years, but I'm very sad to see what they're wasting it on at the moment in Ukraine.
All those places were full of talented amazing folks. Some of them even were briefly great companies before they burned out and faded away. The point is that none of them were worth the crazy valuations they briefly had.
It was fun to listen to Dan Kolbert a while back where he talked a little about this, https://www.keepcraftalive.org/keep-craft-alive-podcast-ep-1..., the (at least partly tongue-in-cheek) quote that still sticks in my mind is that his business was, until he got into high-performance building, "improving the lives of the bourgeoisie one kitchen at a time".

No culture will sustain a meaningful ban on anything that it cannot effectively enforce. The problem here is that the protocol fundamentally allows such indexing - and how could it be otherwise if you want content to be visible across a federated network? Therefore, people who have some utility to derive from it will do so, privately if necessary.

Of course, if it can only be done privately, this makes its utility much less for some use cases - e.g. communal sharing of useful information - but doesn't affect other use cases - e.g. targeted advertising or harassment.
