I am not so sure, that is a good idea, especially with the filibuster in the Senate.

Public money, public open source and lean code. Don't forget "open source" is not enough anymore, and "open source" can be private between a coder and its users, not public (that's why it is fine with defense related work).

I don't want public information systems to be dependent on open source bloat and kludge.

Yes, I agree especially for code intended to teach something else it's not a good idea to include GCCisms.

I didn't find any section about compilation set-up (compiler, warning levels, flags etc) at all in the OP, but didn't spend a lot of time looking. Perhaps it would be a good addition too to specify which dialect of C is used.
Every time it’s been voted on more senators voted yes I think it went from like 5 to 16. Next time might (after this) might be all it takes.
> That doesn't change the fact there were still long-term homeless people, contrary to bboygravity's proposition " If you're literally homeless in Finland you would die during winter season? Could that be a contributing factor to the "success"?'

No, it is not.

There are emergency shelters and homeless people take advantage of any warm space they can. At most a few people die of exposure during the winter months (say 1-2 people per year, it makes the news when it happens). The ones who survive the winter in shelters will remain homeless next year.

The reduction in the number homeless is primarily driven by the "housing first" scheme described in the article. The homeless are given supported housing and social work, in that order. Because the other way around (try to "help" first) did not have good results.

This is false. TypeScript does not add any run time checks, but it does encourage you to add some yourself.
The problem you're running into is that you haven't said anything that proponents of fiction wouldn't say.

It's not a nice game. Any serious move you make can be pigeonholed into pro-police or anti-police, irrespective of whether you're motivated by truth, fiction, a pro-police position, or an anti-police position. And so long as there are enough people who play the pigeonhole game loudly enough, whether on mainstream or social media, it's the default game. You can't start by assuming the person you're talking to is playing a truth game, because then you'll waste all your time on trolls.

Right now, pro-police people will think you're covertly supporting their side. Anti-police people will think you're covertly opposing theirs. And truth people won't be able to tell which game you're playing.

Even if you're lucky and you start talking to a truth person, as soon as you or they, having to be alert for trolls, misunderstands or misinterprets something, the belief that both of you are in good faith will shatter, and a difference that otherwise might have been resolved instead convinces both of you that everything the other one said is something trolls say.

There, I think that's enough defeatism out of my system for a few days.
Cal Newport on Kids and Smartphones
My favourite hacks in trading have always been of the non-technical variety. For instance I remember reading of someone making an absolute fortune on the Diablo 3 auction house, because you could list items on it either for in-game gold or real money. But some people have quickly noticed that it's very easy to make a mistake and list something for 5 gold instead of 5 dollars, and people have in fact been doing it. With a bit of automation(buy anything worth less than X gold and of legendary rarity), people have made an absolute killing, tens of thousands of dollars a month just buying items for cheap and selling them for more. A little bit scummy, but no technical hacking needed, just a simple observation that the UI design of the auction house makes this kind of mistake really simple to make and no checks have been implemented to prevent it(no "this is a legendary item and you're listing it for 5 gold - proceed?").
That's basically what we do in Switzerland. Yet such bills don't just pop up again completely unmodified.

Did you know there were two of those "lost" recordings? I assume you mean the old Lennon demos that the rest of the band recorded in the 90s.

"Free as a Bird", which I recall being a big deal in the UK at least, but ultimately very disappointing; and later "Real Love", which flew under the radar a bit but I think is a much better song.

Interestingly, checking wikipedia, it sounds like "Real Love" came from a much more complete demo, so it's more of a "proper" Lennon song without so much new 90s input from the others.
Maybe not the best thread to ask, but - is there an ELI5 explanation of what exactly CUE is and what is it for? I've landed on that website several times in the last two years, and I could never make heads or tails of it. That the name is just a mix of random, unrelated verbs doesn't help.
This proposal made complete sense and the counter argument was of such a tiring kind. I see that from time to time in these old standards mail threads. I can't put my finger on it, but perhaps it is that they only saw the "now", not the future. Where the "now" was time when a webmaster were in charge of every website, and had complete personal control.
okay that one caught me off guard
That'd be "author life + N years" (current situation) rather than a strict "N years" (like patents). There's probably a decent case that can be made that copyright should be a strict N years.

It's entirely self-centered. There is no mention of relationships, love, honor, sacrifice, or any values other than hedonism. It is materialistic and only mentions other people as means to self-serving ends.

There are no absolute "first principles". What you choose as first principles reflects who you are.

If I were to guess, I'd say this was written by someone who's young and has never been in love (truly in love, as opposed to narcissistic love). Has never been a parent and loved a child. Has a sadly ignorant understanding of poverty, wealth and social injustice, or simply doesn't care enough to learn (narcissism), and thus is not at all moved by a desire to better the world, but only better themselves (and will smother any stirrings of conscience by convincing themselves the best way to better the world is to better themselves as much as possible).

Or, if it was written by someone who's older or been a parent, narcissism prevented them from ever growing beyond themselves because they could never see beyond themselves.
Yeah, I wish I haadn't looked up the meaning.
Is them cooperating on open source software a realistic outcome?
Or will there be many small, unmaintainable, slightly different, open projects?
Why are they not already collaborating on closed source software?

Looking at the mess of customizations asked for software by companies doing the same thing, I can't imagine it would be different for counties/municipalities.

Doesn't matter much in this particular case, one is a tuple, the other is a list, both can be read with a for loop.

The important part is that the way messages types are defined is very heavy, and you can get them to be lighter without sacrificing type safety.

> v8 is a JS runtime. JSC is a JS runtime. SpiderMonkey is a JS runtime.

V8, JSC and SpiderMonkey have no way to interact with the outside world. Without some supporting structure, running JavaScript does anything other than being an over-engineered space heater. It's that supporting structure — the runtime — that allows you to do anything useful.

Visual Studio Redistributables for C++ is a famous case of a runtime that doesn't involve an interpreter.

>Why is that a problem? It sounds like a benefit. It means that the optimization can't break anything, which to me is kind of the point

As-if is great! but the problem is that constexpr tricks people in to thinking that something is done at compile time, and the as-if rule overrides that and lets the implementation do it when ever it wants. constexpr is a feature over ridden by a fundamental rule of the language.
In my opinion a new programming language nowadays should focus on (in this order):

1. easy interfacing with existing library ecosystem (like e.g. C interfaces)

2. nice testing framework

3. good IDE with good context help and refactor plugins

4. syntactic sugars and improvements over other languages
While one shouldn't submit every software update to hn, I found the discussion about valgrind development interesting: how the scattered online presence with various tools makes contributing harder. I'm wondering how feasible it would be to migrate development over GitHub?

Also one should probably talk about valgrind from time to time, it is such a great tool!

I'd love to contribute, but the described development process is scaring me away :-)
If so why not fix const? Why add a whole new keyword? Why complicate the language?

Crystal should get more attention, from desktop application developers in particular. Crystal makes it much easier to maintain large performant code bases.

Basically working with Crystal is much more like working with Python or Ruby, but with performance comparable to C. Unlike Rust or Go where you get the performance, but you don’t get the huge bump in productivity b/c youre working at a lower level of abstraction.
I was in Chicago on a pretty very cold night one time (it was sitting around 0F that evening) and it was horrifying to see how many homeless people were still outside despite that cold.
Agree a lot. Just want to say, since the article also touched on this, that parallelization of test execution can again introduce nondeterministic failures...
Talking about France that has a similar law: no, that only works for unused homes.

Let's say you have an empty secondary home that you don't use, don't rent, etc. Maybe you're trying to sell it, or maybe you just don't care because you have the money and you're sitting on it until you maybe take the time to renovate it or put it on the market.

That's where a squatter can be considered "living" there even if it's unlawful. That doesn't mean he owns the house now, or that he can't be evicted - just that the police won't kick him out without a court order. The court order can take some time and in any case nobody can be evicted during winter.
Regarding the 3-point seatbelt. I would like 4-point as standard, it's much better during sideways impacts and distributes the pressure much more evenly.
For me, the lack of incremental search with C-s/C-r is the big one — would love to jump around inside any text field using C-s pattern C-s C-s … CR (especially ergonomic if you use Caps as Ctrl). That’s a bit different than navigating with Cmd-F, which in most apps is (i) not incremental and (ii) often throws the cursor out of the text field.

It is also worth noting that macOS also uses Cmd+Opt as its Meta key (so Cmd-Opt-F and Cmd-Opt-B are the word-wise motions).

This book is a good intro to Lisp itself, which is worth knowing in any case- and symbolic AI is probably one of the best domains for it!

As for GOFAI in the age of DL/LLM, yes, you should know it, for a couple of reasons. A lot of these techniques aren't really considered "AI" anymore, they're just regular CS algorithms everybody should know: graph search, backtracking, optimization, parsing, etc. The other is that a lot of newer DL/LLM is actually going back to these old problems, but bringing all the new techniques to deal with limitations of the classical algorithms.

Fully agree with that. I had a similar experience when I was asked to complete yet another take home exercise and I simply told them to look at the last two I had done (for other companies). After a first bit of reluctance by the company's recruiter, they budged and accepted.

When hiring people, I ended up making similar concessions for the right candidate.

I'll concede that the Finnish presidency sounds like a fair option, with some of the benefits I see in the monarchy. Longer term, but ceremonial and elected presidents are preferable to what we see in America. I think it is a similar arrangement in Ireland and Germany.

I agree with you on all points except I've never thought about humanism that way. Perhaps I have the wrong definition or understanding of humanism.

But you single out "Western" humanism and perhaps that explains it. I already believe Western culture is deeply selfist and that selfism is fundamentally immoral -- Morality is all about transcending selfishness.

I think OP is referring to Swiss German --- dialects are very local (I heard it even differs from valley to valley in the Alps) and often difficult to understand (Wallisertiitsch -- one of the mountain dialect -- is often brought as an example of an unintelligible favor of German), but official and government matters are conducted in standard German (with only few differences with the one spoken in Germany).

Yes, and these generalizations are the crux of why prejudice is wrong. We cannot discriminate against an entire group even if a majority of its members are wrongdoers. Because by doing that we end up punishing innocent people within the group who are not wrongdoers. It goes against the fundamental principles of individualism and justice. You cannot punish innocent individuals for things they themselves haven't done.

And prejudice also serves (as an excuse, most likely) to impose power structures and dominance hierarchies as well. It keeps those being discriminated against powerless. Where those with power want them to stay. This happens on every level of society.

Much of this prejudice, in all walks of life is nothing more than social dogma which is pushed aggressively from parent to child, down the generations, without any rational thought. Just emotions. And challenging these dogmas is taboo, sometimes it's even heresy, depending on what dogma it is.

Ok, let me be clear. I have a temporary residence in Germany. Before, i had a worker visa. I'm not allowed to start my own business with temporary residence here. Only if i have a German co-founder.

> but in terms of being inclusive EU is leading over the US

I'm not 100% sure about US. Although, i have 3 friends there who don't experience problems that i have in Europe. But in Germany, specifically, banking and government bureaucracy machine became outright nationalistic. My bank account have been blocked because of my nationality. I had problems when i was changing my registration address, because of my nationality. No i'm struggling with tax office(changing my tax class) because of my nationality(specifically, i have some papers from my country).

And i heard similar complains about Spain and Poland(it's actually refusing to give worker visas to Russians, even if they already reside in EU). EU is pure nazi at this point. But majority of people ignore it, because it's, apparently, not nazi to be against Russians at this moment.
