> The auto feature is only enabled in C2X mode. In older modes, auto is a redundant storage class specifier which can only be used at block scope.

Is it redundant? I'm no c expert, but I remember several very specific cases where auto is necessary, and not using it leads to problems. Nested functions being the big one I remember.

The 'new' meaning for the 'auto' keyword doesn't seem compatible with this change. Won't these affect lots and lots of code that relies on nested function semantics?
They do not have ports. I could have written my comment better as I meant not that the androids had ports that weren’t being used, but that androids are likely to be designed with some port. So if testing like this was necessary, their design would have reflected a better way.

Replicants were not accidental discoveries nor gifted by aliens, they were invented by Tyrell.
Hi folks! This is Maryann, Co-Founder of Lybra (Get paid in USDC easily as a LATAM freelancer)

Problem we are solving:
Freelancers in Argentina have challenges with receiving payments. The traditional process of going through multiple platforms like Wise, Paypal, Wallbit etc can be time consuming, expensive and inconvenient. (Lose 10-12% in fees)

Background on why we're doing this:
Bryan and I are serial entrepreneurs with a passion for cryptocurrency and trading. We were inspired to create Lybra after hearing about the struggles faced by one of our our close Argentinine freelancer friend who was strugging with high inflation rates.

Feel free to try it and please let us know if you have any feedback or comments for our MVP! Thank you.
Aren't you just hiding the flaws in the overall system by confiding the tests to your microservice?

That's my experience at least. Things still break, you just notice it later.
Maybe future historians will appreciate your explanation of something that everyone today knows. Nobody is stopping you from talking about what you value and how to incorporate those values into policy design. Other people are participating in public discourse the way they want. If you don't participate the way you want, that's on you.
We tried that a century ago, but it was just racism in disguise. Why would we assume any questionnaire people must take today won't be abused for other agendas?
The other way of looking at it is, this is the brute-force way of doing it that works and is probably reliable on lots of browsers.

Trying to do it in "proper" CSS could be fiddly to get right, and may or may not work the same in all browsers. (I don't know off-hand about this particular effect, but I've done some work with CSS gradients recently and they really don't compose well with other features.)
It’s too crowded so no one goes there anymore. California just over grew the last 80 years and now it is leveling off. Not really mysterious, not an exodus of people that it will get it under 39 million anytime soon, let alone to a much more realistic 30 million.
To nitpick :) : SOTA is nice but there is often a wide gap between validation dataset and real world usage accuracy.
Additionnaly accuracy percentage are often misleading something over 99% sounds great until it's applied thousands of times and you end up with dozens of failure and if those failure are not gracefully handled it can quickly become a nightmare.

And I highly doubt that a "penny-pinching landlord" will install anything close to Sota.
Great use. I'm assuming you used the API for that long of a text?

Sounds like people abused the tech to the point they had to take action. This is one reason we can't have nice things.
No. A fine should represent the negative externality to society. Flexibility indicates that society is interested in cash not the prevention of the externality.
> If people are destroying the last copy of something, copyright was probably involved.

I think you're trying to inject a copyright angle without any kind of evidence it's significant in this scenario. And it doesn't apply: https://guides.library.oregonstate.edu/copyright/libraries.

I think (at least when it comes to public libraries), there are also other factors at play. For instance: a frequent self-understanding that they're not an archive (which is only somewhat true), and a motivation to "serve their customers" by focusing on "popular" services, and a misunderstanding of what the internet is.
Thanks, E. B. White. The parent poster meant that the tone was passive, and I think everyone understood that.
> Someone is going to own land. Either you or the government.

It does not have to be black and white. You can own the land but with restrictions and accommodations. Also, tyrants tend to be individuals. I don't like the idea of some tech tycoon buying up all our farmland.
Late Amazfit watches require online signup in a quite cumbersome way in order to pair.
They are terrified that workers might finally be getting fed up with the status quo and demanding higher salaries and better work/life balance, so they have to collude to conduct layoffs and feed the surplus pool of labor to hopefully force down salaries. This is capitalism 101 baby.
"California’s population has continued to plummet, according to a new state report, underscoring a continuing trend as the state scrambles to increase its housing stock and ease a cost of living crisis."

If people are leaving, shouldn't that slow the cost of living increases and/or make the existing housing supply closer to being sufficient?
BTW, I'm a happy Kagi early adopter currently subscribed at $10/mo. I do have concerns about even my limit, though. After I switched all my browsers (on all my devices) to use Kagi as the default search engine, I regularly exceed 1k searches per month.

I'm very curious how you measure the "average" user's usage. It seems hard for me to believe that even an "average" user (which I grant I am not) who has switched their browsers' default search engine to Kagi on their (one) computer and (one) phone -- assuming an average user has a computer and a smartphone -- uses less than 200 queries per month.

We've all been trained for years now (by Google) to type searches (not urls) into our browser's address bar. For so many people, the first action they take to "access the web" is to type something that is not a URL in their browser's address bar. I suspect this behavior is even _more common_ among "average" users ("power" users seem more likely to actually type "mail.google.com" instead of "gmail", for example).
The explanation that is circulating is that everyone is making decisions based on where inflation is headed. If inflation is not tamed, business leaders will seek to extract more cost cuts (more layoffs).

The other headline is that LLM and ChatGPT is reshaping the tech landscape. Tech companies are laying off engineers so they can hire AI/LLM engineers to compete with ChatGPT. Based on my limited knowledge, OpenAI is head and shoulders above everyone else. Google's Bard is a distant second.
In the 80s and 90s there were multi-hour long blocks of toy ads disguised as cartoons. That’s all Transformers and He-Man ever were.
Although that's true, TruffleRuby and GraalPy show that you can actually make highly dynamic languages extremely fast with a powerful enough JITC, which Graal/Truffle actually are. The hard part those projects are wrestling with is being 100% compatible with the entire ecosystem, warty native modules that abuse interpreter internals and all the rest. But they have the tech and manpower to do it.

So one of the key questions for Mojo is going to be this: how does it or will it compare to GraalPy as it matures, which should be able to run untyped Python at high speed, potentially even multi-threaded, with existing native extensions.

It can be that maybe the advantage is predictability, lack of warmup, that people in the AI space just prefer stuff made by a startup, that Mojo solves other pain points like packaging, all sorts of things. But it can also be that Python took off in ML exactly because it's untyped and people don't want to deal with the hassle of a type system if they don't need to.

The alternatives section of the blog post doesn't mention Graal/Truffle at all, suggesting that this is a bit of a blind spot for them. But these are well funded projects that have already yielded many-orders-of-magnitude speedups for existing code. It's not necessarily a good idea to write them off.
Yeah I agree. Singling out the largest player is silly. We've basically given different nations the ability to control the thoughts of society. Social media hasnt been organic for a long time. Organic social media grows until it is consumed by bots and bad actors.

I dont think removing social media is a solution. I do think some sort of realID for social media that could identify every user is real & a certain age would be beneficial (think Worldcoin but not done by a private entity). I think this alone would solve a large issue around social media. The other requirement that should exist is some balanced discussion to remove the echo chamber effects. Amplifying only certain thought patterns is dangerous.

Take reddit for example. A single bot farm with 100 or so accounts can effectively manipulate entire communities.
From the report these are mostly 11 to 13 year olds we're talking about, and overwhelmingly female.

I do agree that "children" is too broad a term and that we should segment that population into different groups and focus on the younger groups much more than the older ones.
> A goal of national parks should be that everyone has the opportunity to visit at least one over their lifetimes.

There are many national parks which do not have any limitations, timed entries, or reservations. There are then also many which do have reservations, but reservations can be pretty easily obtained. There are a few which have limited resources available with massive numbers of people wanting to attend which do have these lottery issues.

Most locations run by the NPS allow people to just show up without restrictions. Everyone already does have the opportunity to visit at least one over their lifetimes.
You might as well be done with politics altogether... Politics pulling unsubtly on people's emotional heartstrings to gain leverage ("won't anyone think of the children?") is the kind of systemic hacking technique that sometimes gets revered over here, applied to a different domain. Politics is all about gaining legitimacy, the feeling of legitimacy is an emotion, and thus emotional manipulation tends to be present in every political process, at various levels of egregiousness. It's just about as core to the process as factoring common bits of logic into functions is to programming.
From a business perspective, this is great for Shopify. The labor market for software engineers has seriously softened as a result of all the layoffs. Go look at job openings and their posted salaries.

When Shopify beings hiring again, they are going to be able to hire talent at a fraction of the price.

Also, this is largely a coordinated effort from activist investors specifically targeting large tech salaries. E.g. https://www.businessinsider.com/google-layoffs-cut-jobs-exce...

There is essentially a vicious cycle targeting tech compensation. Activist investors are convincing boards that they're overpaying their tech talent. Then those boards approve layoffs. Then those layoffs further lower salaries. Rinse and repeat.
Chances are OpenAI will show the government investigating PII removal requests how "it would literally cost us 10M to honor every request immediately instead of removing it for the next training run in x months". I doubt a government will fine them / force them to withdraw business in that country once they understand the ramifications of PII removal requests in a modern LLM world, as long as they are eventually followed through.
Google, just buy Gitlab.
Over hiring in the face of uncertain macro conditions and consumption changes is probably the right choice. If your market expands as you believe it might you're ready to step in and grow. If it doesn't grow you can just lay people off and you're back where you started. The important thing here though is that it's hard to catch up to competitors that have lapped you but it's easy to slow down when you're ahead. If you think there's just a 10% chance that covid causes e-commerce to 10x in size it makes sense to prepare as though it will and then shrink the workforce if things go back to normal.
...and most compilers also already silently treat compile time constant expressions like constexpr, an explicit constexpr just throws an error if the expression isn't actually a compile time constant.
After IBM did it, every layoff from now on is going to explicitly or implicitly say that AI will cover for things in the future; it's some magic words to try to not spook investors.
Yes and no. It's part of the reasons.

Another one is a lot of websites would only test on Chrome. So if Chrome implemented a standard in a slightly different way than the spec, it would break on all other browsers.
Nope. Edge is just serverless that is closer to your user to reduce the number of network hops. Both are essentially the same when it comes to technical functionality. They run on limited resources and should not be used for intensive workloads.

> Porn use cultivates lust.

Citation needed

> A false form of love that seeks easy sexual satisfaction instead of a stable long term committed relationship that's best for kids.

This assumes that everyone must want kids, and the everyone must act only in support of those who have them.

Also going to need some citations for what a true form of love is - that's something that humans have been arguing about for at least as long a writing has been around.

> Porn is a pretty major contributor to divorce and otherwise blowing up relationships. Some women will tolerate it for a time, or try to and even claim to succeed. But it eats at them and contributes greatly to their unhappiness.

Here's a crazy idea: maybe you should consider women as real people. A group of individuals who have their own sets of preferences and opinions.

Going to need a lot of actual data that all women think exactly this way.

Further, I'm going to need some serious explanation why it makes sense to go into a marriage where either one person doesn't express their true opinions of porn watching or the other lies about it. It seems irresponsible to enter into a life-long contract without understanding the terms.

> It's another form of infidelity, which is quite infamous in human society since forever.

Viewing porn is only infidelity if it's secret and against the partner's wishes. Generally the problem isn't the actual action, it's the deceit and breaking of a promise that's hurtful in those situations.

> Numerous literature pieces.

Which ones? show your work - I'm not big on "just trust me bro" from internet strangers, especially ones with such weak arguments.

> It's basically a love receptor inhibitor. The deeper you are in it the harder it will be to really love a woman. A real woman requires TLC, a great deal of it, a porn woman does not. How much energy do you thing goes into a relationship if all male sexual satisfaction is tied solely to it's health?

Love receptors... gonna need some serious citations for that to be anything other than a pathetic attempt at giving a shit opinion credibility by faking sciencey words.

Se also the whole bit above about how you really should accept that women are actually people.

> f you've been in it since youth you probably have never experienced the kind of real love I'm talking about. I know because I was there, myself, for years. I walked a life of porn for many years and it's taken many years to overcome that addiction. Night and day.

I'm glad you found something that brings you satisfaction.

I don't see how that means your weaknesses are mine. Your story is evidence that one can find happiness despite the world allowing others to seek their own path. Why do you need to force your view on everyone else - the law doesn't force you to watch porn, you have a choice - why do you need to make other's choices for them? I get it - you were weak and made bad (to you) choices - that really suggests you shouldn't be making choices for anyone else, you aren't great at it (the evidence presented suggests you have a 50% success rate at choosing things wisely).
The first point jumped out to me as contradictory: for immutable values copying is only an implementation detail. Apparently "value semantics" can also refer to mutable values with exclusive ownership, is that the idea here or something else?
Is it? Their peers are equally new to the world and just as naive so that doesn't seem like that big a deal. It would be worse to raise sexually repressed, unhappy adults.

What we're dancing around though, is that there are actual pedophiles on the Internet that would like nothing more than to have the 11-year send them underwear, or even fully-nude pics. That's what the 11-13 year old needs protection from.

And keep in mind, pediatricians now recommend starting to talk to your kids about sex and consent starting at age five.

https://mcpress.mayoclinic.org/parenting/when-to-start-talki...

Punishing that 11-year old, charging them as a sex-offender, when they were the one that took the picture, makes zero sense though.
State-controlled media are used to publish disinformation and misinformation. There is no "free competition for ideas" when certain actors will blatantly lie; removing warning labels guarantees that users will stumble across demonstrably false information from an unreliable source and falsely believe it credible.
The buddies I made at my first internship at Shopify are friends I still chat with to this day, despite us living all over the continent. I think that was my fourth of five co-ops, but it was by far the most socially stimulating.

I'm bummed to hear about the layoffs, I hope the culture doesn't suffer too much. Shopify Ottawa was genuinely warm and familiar in a way few tech offices are able to be.
Losing Touch: Power diminishes perception and perspective (2009)
It’s tricky because there are subtle psychological effects when marginal use directly incurs marginal cost. It makes each use a decision.

When you assemble tools for cognitive work, it’s important that they have low overhead. Thinking about the financial cost of using a tool is a small context switch that slows you down. Thus a bundle of prepaid stuff increases the utility of the service beyond what you’d get with pure pay per use, even though the latter is more economically efficient.
Are you trying to say that they are just following orders?

Think of it more like auto-pilot. You go to sleep and your shop runs promos, creates new products (digital, or digitally-printed), runs a/b test on your collections, whatever - all so you wake up to new sales.

The current price reflects the expected software support, at some point it will be not economical and not feasible on the existing hardware. The best example is the interface- cellular 2G is not supported and 3G will go away one day.
Vascular ultrasound devices are still supported because they were expensive, and support was probably paid on top of the initial price.

> <ng-content> didn't work if the elements were dynamic

Usually if you run into problems like that, you should use templates.

Honestly, I'm not sure why `<ng-content>` exists vs templates. I'm sure there's a reason (verbosity?), but templates have way fewer caveats.

> Would have been so much easier with a webpack configuration

I agree. It's not hard at all to do a Webpack configuration of Angular. Just add the Angular plugin. (That's what the CLI does under the hood.) I wish they document it though.

I wonder how much of that is due to increased exposure to content, plus a function of being young when seeing it.

Not much. That's not the only movie I've seen recently. Not all of them have been so forgettable. An alarming portion of them was. But not all, I can clearly remember many of them, even for series with many episodes, I can tell you what happened in each of them.

But the Starwars sequels, the fourth of Matrix (I liked it though) or anything superheroic (I quit those years ago) are a blank in my memory.

Edit: I believe that good story telling has something in common with spaced repetition. There are some rules that, if followed, make your story indelible. Likeable, relatable characters, a worthy quest a logical plot...

Edit2: The love for flashbacks, that become parallel timelines in their degenerate form is tiresome and now it's very difficult to find a movie without them.
> violating my right to control access to my own data

If that's the way you choose to look at it, perhaps you could argue that the system should be opt-in, rather than opt-out. Maybe you should have to provide ID to grant access, instead of letting your identity be exploited for profit implicitly.
