It's not that bad unless you're library writers.

The functional programming parts and expansion of compile-time metaprogramming (constexpr/templates) are probably the biggest new features, but you probably aren't going to use the more complex parts.

IMO the biggest changes in ergonomics for application writers are:

* better iterator-based algorithms and iterators becoming more powerful than indexes and pointers

* new helper objects like string_view that let you work more efficiently

* functional programming and passing lambdas around is possible

* "override void foo() const noexcept { ... }" - all the extra keywords (override, const, and noexcept) help you with correctness
FWIW this project is used by companies involved in solar installations all over the US and is instrumental in furthering the adoption of residential solar. it's kind of a big deal. that said, it's more of a jumping off point for better estimates, and many other companies are around that do this now.
Large scale universe surveys rarely bother with light years as such, they're interested in the structure of the universe itself since birth and are looking to the properties of entire galaxies so far distant individual stars defy resolution (for the most part, stars with energetic burst behaviour stand out).

EG:

Planned Optical Srveys

The Hector Galaxy Survey

The Hector Galaxy Survey will use the Hector-I instrument on the AAT to collect resolved spectroscopy for 15,000 galaxies out to z < 0.1.

The Taipan galaxy survey

It will use the TAIPAN facility on the UK Schmidt Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory to collect spectroscopy for more than a million galaxies in the local Universe (z<0.3) that are brighter than i<17.

So, uhh, yeah, to a certain class of astro-geek z<0.3 is absolutely "local universe"
This is the case in my company. My boss reluctantly went to the manager track as it was quite difficult to move up on the SDE track (from the level he was on) but much easier on the manager track.
That’s an interesting theory, how do you reconcile it with the fact that several companies which have had layoffs have also given out large stock refreshes to some of the employees who weren’t laid off?
I don't think the license matters at all, but you may not be able to upload something you can't prove ownership of, and there is still the notary requirement to run, it only changes the distribution channel after all.

What you could maybe do is do reproducible builds, staple the notarised x509 on it afterwards. Then you can 'prove' it is the same app, but still have the signed version in distribution.
The hoops are far too technical, finicky, and poorly documented for the average user to curate their own add-on list for Fx. It's a real shame since I think a lot of it is to make sure the add-on's UI is responsive, but many of most used add-ons on desktop have no UI to speak of (like redirecting AMP links, skipping short links, etc.).
Yeah that's my point, that this definition would not prevent useful and theories like Newton's Law or evolution from being taught to highschoolers.

By the time you get to reasonable (non-crackpot) scientific theories to teach that do not fall into repeatable and observable definitions (e.g., string theory), you're far beyond high school. It's not like they'll be missing out on vital science education because they're not being taught those theories. And there doesn't seem to be anything against teaching the scientific method or the the existence of superseded, unproven, disproven, etc., theories.

I'm not saying anything about the motives, politicking, or wording in the bill, and I'm no expert in how the legal system could interpret it. Just saying, from a layperson's reading and assuming good faith (which is obviously never a good idea when dealing with a politician), it doesn't look like a horrible bill. And I am inviting people who know more about law or the local courts and politics etc to shoot down those assumptions, I wasn't trying to state it as a fact of how the law would play out if passed, although my comment might have been a little strong in giving that impression.
Incompetence being rewarded as in your case doesn't seem better at all though.
Hmmm……I’m surprised.
I find the contortions needed to do binary too difficult. Instead, I use base 6: on one hand I count from 0 to 5 the usual way. On the other hand I also count from 0 to 6, but each unit there represents 6.That way I can count to 35 using two hands without twisting my hands into pretzels.

It can also be a third party moderator. My daughter and I were discussing some issues she was having and, in a playful way, just started asking OpenAI about some of her issues. It was able to tell her things directly that would have been more difficult to accept coming from me. I considered it a breakthrough of sorts.

Writing code for me...yes, thank you! Helping me get through to my teenage daughter, that is amazing.

Another thing, is that if people get indoctrinated to expect bad information from the machine, it might have some impact in correcting our society's propensity for spreading and believing false information.

M1 corresponds to the same pay band as IC6 and M2 corresponds to IC7. D1 corresponds to IC8. (By level 6, I am referring to IC6 / M1.)
Yeah, I recall some of the 360-era Hitman games having a form of Crowd AI for packed street maps (A Mardi Gras hit in particular). Halo 3 had a form of simplified 'flocking ai' for aircraft rendered very distantly in the skybox, too.

There's pretty good high-res LiDAR data available for my location (84741), but no availability of Project Sunroof. So either they're not aggregating all available public data (certainly possible), or something else is holding them back.
Yep, you'll find this all over California.

I don't have the numbers handy, but the way the math works out ... the only way the economics make sense in a number of different neighborhoods is if lux condos/highrises are built. Otherwise developers don't have a way to recoup the ~$200k/door cost requirement of building that much parking (I think it was $200k, someone correct me if I'm wrong).
> Below, someone mentioned "servant leadership". It is my first time to learn about term. It sounds brilliant.

It's a term from Agile/Scrum.

> Plus, the it is an interesting idea to strictly tie manager's comp to reports' comp.

Then the incentive exclusively becomes raising the reports' comp. That might be detrimental to organizational goals. Many salaries are structured as base + short-term incentive + long-term incentive, but clearly that obviously doesn't seem to work as well as it should, either. For companies, it's well-known that aligning objectives is complicated. After decades of 'Management Science', it doesn't seem to me that we are any closer to managing alignment across orgs ideally than we've been in the past. There may not be a silver bullet to this.

That said, thinking about OP's comments about natural-born managers, and how there are natural-born artists, and how generative AI like Stable Diffusion can deliver good results for those that are not natural artists, we may actually need to turn to generative AI to solve for managerial tasks in an optimal way across large orgs. That might even resolve issues with misaligned incentives. Training such an AI could be done on a curated corpus of HBR-type case studies. And you could actually test performance of different corpuses by measuring real-world performance of the corresponding business units in which these AIs operate.
It was a lot of words because you made a lot of factually false claims, so that's to be expected as per Brandolini's Law.

I appreciate that you brought moral certainty into this discussion, but that doesn't make your understanding of reality or factual premise correct, even if your moral conclusion may be correct by accident.

> doesn't change the fact that the median worker in America has barely seen any real wage growth for 50 years, and all that extra wealth went straight to the wealthiest people in the country.

Fist in the air != explanation. Depressed wage growth has little to do with managerial compensation. If you want an explanation based in fact rather than anger, you have to look at the labor market economics of the situation, which you aren't.
This doesn’t really make sense to me from a game theory POV. As a company, laying off productive employees of my own has an insignificant impact on the total sector’s compensation, but reduces my output and therefore profitability. Why would I do it? If I think there’s some big sector-wide conspiracy to unnecessarily cause layoffs to depress wages, my dominant strategy is to not participate - I still gain the full benefits (since my own participation has only a trivial impact on the outcome), but without hurting my own output.
I'm hoping that is just a bad faith attempt at trolling. Because otherwise I'm speechless. Though it sure would explain a lot about how some folks on HN arrived at the conclusion they did.
WebM is supported on iOS Safari now!
And buy Apple devices to build, release, and test? That's expensive considering I can just open Epiphany in a mobile-sized window to see how WebKit renders.
haha. no. cable TV started because people didn't want to see commercials.

100% fact, at least where I grew up. we had no reception problems (flat farmland) and we were one of the first houses in one of the first towns in the area to get cable service. cable company promised no commercials ever, and that's why he subscribed, after a trial period. there were zero commercials.

I remember my father on the phone with the cable company, the company that owned the cable company, our state representative, and our governor, all within a month after the first commercials started airing. obviously it did no good.
I see this argument all the time - how is it anti competitive if you have to buy a device from apple to use the apps?

Its not like anyone can just make an iphone, it's not like the PC market, it's not even like the macOS market.

If people (consumers) in general gave a rats ass about it they would pick an alternative. It's not even on their radar. Price is 95% of why androids sold at all, and they had all the time in the world to make something better.

I personally love the idea, but professionally hate it. IT shops chose apple for it being locked down, and burdening 3rd parties with extra support costs if the platform is wide open is a crappy thing to do.

FWIW, I noticed all of the same issues when using FF on my iPad, but I stuck with it, and it actually got much better, and I haven't noticed a UI/UX bug in months now.

At least the last time I used MS teams, Zoom had a much better 'upper limit' for participants in a call.

That's probably because M$ switched away from bsd to windows again.

You can check it in the firmware settings. To know if there is even the option to enrol, check the manual of the device. If there is no manual, check the SKU for the CPU and PCH, only some SKUs have full management enrolment.

Keep in mind that regardless of the status, you can always reset it. In some cases you can also remove most of it, but since the ME also controls a lot of power functions and on laptops might also hinder EC usage if disabled, you might simply not have much choice.

If the ME (or AGESA) is a problem for you, there are two options:

1. Get a very old machine that doesn't have it
2. Get a machine that doesn't use Intel or AMD processors

And just in case: ME "enrolment" doesn't actually mean much. It's not some cool remote control thing or remote wipe or something like that; it's mostly just crappy VNC and a janky XML API that only works on the local network. So even if it contains provisioning profiles for some company, it's not like they have 'access' to your laptop. It's not like Apple's DEP or the legacy CompuTrace or Intel AT products. Those two are also not really all that exciting considering they mostly just work like rootkits on specific windows versions. If anything, getting your hands on a provisioned laptop gets YOU access to the company network in some badly configured NACs.
The backspace could “eat” the next character
Some people may develop that attitude, but I haven’t. I care a lot about what I build and I care that it’s useful to people. I am unable to accept putting in tons of work only for something to never see the light of day.

A project I put years of my life into got killed off in a merger and it’s still the most demoralizing event of my career.

People get scared away from swarm because they make it sound like you NEED 3 managers minimum. This simply isn't true and it runs great even on a single node. I've moved all of my production and stage environments to be swarm based.

I just wished there was an easier way to have file-shares between nodes. Makes running a reverse proxy like traefik tricky.
I don't know where to begin telling you how wrong you are. Hammurabi's code has plenty of examples of a punishment of being put to death because you didn't have witnesses, a contract, or a receipt for paying for something. (It's easy for someone else to accuse you of stealing.)
The kind of people that find pleasure in bossing people around also tend to have fragile ego.

If you pay them less than the people they are managing, they will not tend to do take the job.

So, paying managers less may weed out people on an ego trip, in theory.
I use firefox on iOS. I like it because it has integrations with firefox's password management, and it feels somewhat fire-foxy.

But it is a bit janky and it is strictly worse than the android version, and that's because it's layered on top of the wrong engine and there's only so much customisation they can do to make it more firefoxy.

I really welcome a full-fat fox on iOS, not least because it implies extensions like ublock origin, and adblocking on iOS is just not as good compared to UBO on android or the desktop.
FTA:

Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion, hundreds of fakes about Ukrainian refugees have been spread.

For example, last December, a 23-second video was circulated online showing an elderly woman allegedly complaining to Polish authorities that she had been “robbed” by Ukrainian refugees she had sheltered in her apartment. Several variations of this “story” can also be found online, according to which either the woman’s children or the city authorities persuaded the 73-year-old Polish woman to give shelter to a Ukrainian family.

Instead, this video was filmed back in 2018, and the woman is seen quarreling with representatives of the Internet provider over the services not provided.

Another case occurred in Germany when in November 2022, messages were spread around the network that “Ukrainian refugees opened a second-hand store in Germany and resell things that were given to Ukrainians as state aid.” In fact, in October, Ukrainian citizens who fled the war did open a second-hand store in Germany. Their managers provided the fact-checkers with all the confirmation papers of the official purchase of clothing in the UK.

There is no amount Nintendo could have raised salaries that would have avoided the GP comment, is the point.

>> In any event, based on increases in productivity since the 80s all workers should be making at least double their salary.

This is happening. It's just happening to the people who are the most productive. There is no reason productivity gains would naturally be equally distributed amongst all workers, nor the wage gains.

If you are a developer, you are partially responsible for this inequality in both pay and productivity. They tend to go hand in hand. Now, if you want to argue that software developers are underpaid, I certainly agree. But we're also part of the inequality problem, and pretending otherwise would be silly.
The best recent example of this I have is the Elden Ring release. The first couple months of playing that alongside a global community of people parsing the story and discovering obscenely fleshed out secrets (to entire different maps no less!) was one of my favorite videogame experiences.

I totally understand the slow gamer philosophy though, I think it's important that there's people out there doing that. The slow gamer that picks up Elden Ring on sale in 5 years and runs it at 4k60 on equipment half the price of mine will have their own uniquely special experience, not the least because the game will have been changed through patches and the community's understanding of the game will be more fleshed out... And we'll all get to enjoy their excited first time play through posts on the subreddit or wherever, which will be a delight after the game has faded into memory over years.
> Over the last five years, a cluster of books has brought these ideas to public attention. In 2016, Peter Godfrey-Smith published Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness, in which he argued that “evolution built minds twice over”, and octopuses’ invertebrate intelligence may shed light on what it means for us to be conscious, too.

> In 2019, Richard Powers’ novel The Overstory, about eight people’s lives connected through their relationship with trees, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

> Where did the "on" go from "Iron"

Assuming you mean at the very beggining, the "O" = 15/1,5/"A,E" ... "E" turns into yet another "5/FIVE/Fe, IV/IRON IV", and the "A" and two resulting "Ns" are added to "RI" to get "RINNA", the "R" from "Iron" = "18/1,8/A,H" ... resulting in "Rihanna".

> expecting novel or groundbreaking results

Yeah, not for nothing, but I don't see stuff like this anywhere on the internet so I'd say it's "pretty novel"; I don't make claims to have a monopoly on this approach as I've met others who seem to be aware of this phenomenon and have demonstrated an aptitude for analyzing such.

For example, that "Toyota" becomes "Supra" by substituting the atomic number of iron and some non-intuitive multiplication of what seems at first to be random superfluous numbers was shown to me recently by someone else.

True enough, and thanks for your time and consideration.

The logic holds up and the odds of ALL THAT falling into place "just so" by random coincidence, ESPECIALLY considering her being the main attraction at the Super Bowl this particular year and "NFL" turning into "2023 Robyn Rihanna Fenty 2/20/88" ...

Not to mention another (albeit pop-culture-y) term for "simulation" is "Matrix", which turns into "Our Robyn Rihanna Fenty 2/20/88 Ruins 57" (it's Super Bowl 57), which in turn morphs into "Our Robyn Rihanna Fenty 2/20/88 RULES! Ha!" ...

Using this method, the word "Axis" (W.W. II) turns into "Germany rids six million Jews."
