The subject of the article mentions having multiple medical conditions, some of which (to my knowledge) require specialists. It's not inconceivable that those consume a significant portion of their take-home, even in a country with socialized medicine.
When everyone else says "clever" they mean complex and obscure, not simple. Clever is difficult to understand.

Redefining words to mean something other than standard usage is clever.
they also said that their rent is 1100 a month. where could it be going when they only list their phone, internet and transit bills.
I know a small business running bespoke accounting software with a lineage predating the PC era.

They have some very specialized, industry specific, reporting and invoicing needs that can't be met with a general purpose purpose software.

An application provides a great way to modernize their software without a full rewrite.
I guess it's going to depend a lot on whether you can just plop down the money (and change) on the counter, and leave after the service has been done / with what you bought... or not (because you have to pay upfront for instance).
Isn't this standard for cryptocurrency? Money = power?

The goal is to get rid of this using C++20 modules (and potentially reduce compile times due to repeated expansion of header files).

> the file and line macros

This is addressed by C++20's std::source_location [0]

> I still need it for string interpolation

If you mean the `#` macro operator, then yeah that is still needed.

The point is to provide ways of doing these tasks that don't require a weird text replacement macro language and instead do them with C++. Obviously due to legacy codebases the preprocessor is going to stick around.

Journalists and math…
To me I think this is fully reasonable what they’re doing.

So how do you wanna settle the difference in social norms? Who died and made you the gatekeeper of social norms?
Didn't they already do that? They used to have HBO Go and HBO Now and I believe one of those became HBO Max and they sunset the other one.
No it's $2,900 a month. The $232 and $1500 are the breakdown of the $1,700 a month referred to above. The editor missed a semicolon.

Still, she has a really low rent by Toronto standards of $1,100, leaving $1,800 for all other expenses, which given her medical conditions and the fact that provincial governments are cutting, I can see a lot of that getting eaten up pretty quick.
Money will always corrupt and speak louder than people.

Majority of people are also very easy to manipulate.

So no I think this is a feature of the government. No matter who is at the helm.
Unlike the block reward (mining subsidy) which is set according to a fixed schedule, fees are set by the market. They will go up if demand for L1 transactions go up, but there’s nothing in the protocol to push them up over time.

Satoshi’s vision was for Bitcoin to be used as digital cash[1], so that transaction demand would be enough to sustain the security of the system. Since the “cash” use case has fallen away to the “store of value” use case, it seems a bit dubious.

Transaction costs have recently gone up because of ordinals and NFTs so we’ll see if that sticks.

[1] the Bitcoin paper was called “Bitcoin: a Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”
Disregarding the irrelevance of this comment, in your example, aren't you the consumer who is paying the fee via the increased price?
The business owner was a bit dishonest in her reporting. She had 2 OPEN chargebacks, and 3 LOST chargebacks.

In many cases chargebacks also take time to hit the payment provider, meaning the rate is well over 5/200. If those were competitors, she should have won the 3 LOST chargeback cases.

She also did not explain why people are asking for chargebacks and if those were justified. We don't know her product.

Last time I saw someone complaining about getting many chargeback and how stripe was treating him unfairly. His product only had 1 star reviews, but on his landing page he put "Over 10,000 happy customers", with 5 green stars, like they were from Trustpilot. His product was overpriced and of very poor quality. He only offered partial refunds, and those were attached to some conditions and had to be begged for.
I think it's ok to have to choose between renting in Toronto and eating dinner.

Thanks to decades of the boomer generation's "build nothing" housing policies, millions of young people can't afford to live near where they work. Yet that same generation feels entitled to take up space in one of the most in-demand cities on the planet for their retirement life of socialising and volunteering. They'll complain about being "forced" to move out of a home they've lived in for 10 or 20 years (and paid below-market rent the whole time!) when the rest of us are lucky to be able to hold onto a place for half of that. And their response to their unaffordable lifestyle catching up to them is to ask for more and bigger handouts, funded by those same working people who they're keeping out of the city.
This looks like a great product. When are you planning on launching it commercially?
Rewriting doesn't require a new listing on really any of these platforms. They could have rewritten every single thing and still made it an update.

I'm guessing there was some contractual thing (perhaps cable related) around the HBO name or else someone made a very poor choice.
Yeah, that rent is incredibly low for Toronto. But also, 1800 for all utilities, potential medicine, transportation,… does not get you too far.

My wife and I do shopping for a full week at Farm Boy (not the cheapest) and this runs to about $300 for a week of food. Does not include other things such as detergent, toilet paper, etc..
The punctuation of the sentence is a little odd, but I take it to mean $1732 + $1200 = $2932.

Less $1100 of current rent, that’s $1832 per month to cover all other costs for two people. Few would elect to be traveling 6 days a week obtaining food assistance if there were easy expenditures to cut.
No, that is not at all what it means - that’s my point.

All of Nvidia was not purchased in Friday, and neither was 1/3 if Apple. We don’t really know what those things are worth, because we do not have such a transaction. To base that on.

All we know is what a bunch of individuals would buy or sell a small number of shares for. Very different.
> “The reason we chose not to fork a different distro … Microsoft has kind of a history with Linux. … I think the Balmer quote is from 2001, but a lot of the sentiment still lingers even today. Part of the reason we did not choose to start with a distribution and then fork it for our needs is we didn’t want to be seen as doing the embrace and extend thing again, we didn’t want to wake any of that up, we figured, build it from scratch, we can tailor it to our needs … we’re scratching an itch we had and offering the solution back to the community.”
Thanks for pointing that out. It confused me too.
> Like I get that the post is trying to paint some beautiful picture about how compiler passes are abstract beautiful transformations of representations of programs but it's not a useful picture at all.

It is actually a very useful picture especially to a beginner.

PGO is an edge case and not used a whole lot in practice. Many compilers do not support it at all, even production compilers. Someone learning to write a compiler does not need to think about PGO. And besides, a compiler with PGO is still a pure function of source + flags + profile.
Just trying to make sure our community remains the greatest online tech forum in the world :)
I am from Australia - a country with very high labour costs. Some years back, I trialed outsourcing programming tasks to developers based in India, only to consistently receive shockingly bad quality work. Over the years, I have also helped clients fix up shoddy work written by such developers.

I will never forgot the moment I encountered this MySQL query from hell that brought a customer-facing webapp to its knees:

select oldurl, newurl, id, dateadd from jos_sh404sef_urls where newurl <> "" AND oldurl not like '%vmchk%' AND newurl not like '%format=feed%' AND newurl not like '%format=pdf%' AND newurl not like '%print=1%' AND oldurl not like '%__404__%' AND ( soundex(oldurl) = soundex('not_found') OR oldurl like '%not%' OR oldurl like '%found%') GROUP BY oldurl limit 500;

Other developers I have engaged from other places, especially ex-Soviet countries, were far more competent and seemed to care about a job well done.

In my view, the Indian government needs to encourage its industry and educational institutions to study the teachings of W. Edwards Deming to instill a culture of quality. Back in the 1950s, Japan was ridiculed for the quality of its manufactured goods and within a decade after embracing Deming's advice, they became known for their excellence. Perhaps India can also experience such a renaissance.
Maybe the location becomes a problem? In my home country life is expensive too. Moved to a lower cost one. Bought land, build a house have a big garden. Raise animals and grow my own crops. I build solar panels and have my own waterwells. I have almost 0 cost. Just my internet. I would never ever be able to this all in my home country without going into debt so much I would be paying for that well into my retirement.

I was working in a well paid IT job almost living from pay check to pay check. Now I work remote for a lower pay and most of it just goes in my retirement savings.

Not sure what my point is but there are alternatives...
If that’s correct (and it seems it is) there still seems to be some room, especially for applying for additional assistance (but I don’t know how Canada handles it, the USA would likely grant SNAP).
Is it possible that's meant to total up to $2900 a month, where the $232 and $1500 are meant to be a breakdown of the $1700 a month figure and it got garbled?
You misread the article, it says "North York", which is in Canada
that's why I really, really hope ActivityPub or Nostr protocol could be designed as static-website compatible. But nope.

Depends on the jurisdiction I guess ? I just checked, and around here cash is the only type of payment that cannot be refused, and if they get caught trying they would be fined 150€.
I don't remember using PGO like ever. And even if you do use it, isn't it like breaking compilation into two phases that are themselves deterministic?

It is pretty useful picture in my eyes, because that's what I've been observing since like forever. Non-deterministic compiler would be pretty hard to test or reason about.

It might be a banal observation, but an important one if you want to contrast a compiler with something like an OS kernel or most modern programming projects that interact heavily with outside world. When you throw hardware, network traffic, or users into the mix, it gets crazy.
Sure, we should just construct 'poor towns' for those priced out of cities by financial speculation.
This person is in North York (Canada), not New York.
Perhaps it's meant to read "I receive $1,700 a month total from government assistance: $232 from the Canada pension, and $1,500 from old-age security."

I'd probably buy rice, beans, and frozen veg rather than salad, but if the majority of her expenditure is medical then I'm not sure it matters.
I love gnome too, but its way better than macOS, its way more advanced, doesn't lack basic features(que
KDE crowd...) and extensions fill any gaps.

While macOS feels dated, has absolute garbage support for anything Linux releated and awful keyboard layout(just use Ctrl already).
This article is about living in Toronto. Doesn't sound like these people are living very large. Canada is suffering from decades of housing policy failure.
I agree, I use cat all the time, it is a normalization of access patterns. it lets you isolate the file input and output into it's own section of the pipeline. There is nothing wrong with using the shell redirection operators but I like seeing the input and output in it's own explicit pipeline section.

get file data and put it on the pipe: cat
get pipe data and put it in a file: tee (with huge caveat you have to do something with stdout so you still need to mess around with the redirection operators. tee does not really gain you any normalization. Sigh. I would make a tee that is just "tee > /dev/null" but I am used to it at this point. Stockholm syndrome?)
Well, if it was possible I would kinda both - upvote and downvote you here !

I think you are absolutely right about the responsibility. Although you seem to argue that he should lower his expectations, I would rather say that he can choose - he can also take the responsibility for the 'I just want a job where I can flex my engineering skills without BS' part - it's not going to just happen magically, but it's totally possible. But it does have a price that one must be willing to pay.
> The reality is that $dayjob (or %dayjob% etc) signals "hey I'm a programmer"

You’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s also about the reader who understands the context and thus feels a sense of belonging to an “in-group”.

It’s petty, but it’s how humans work. We form and reinforce our little cliques in anyway we can.
It’s somewhat understandable that people being “forced” to move from where they have always been is annoying, but sometimes it’s the best option.
Thanks, edited - point stands though.
You can if you only pass these txs to your friend… however, this will make it very suspicious that only one miner is mining you.

Yeah, looking back that seems most likely, but the number 1700 not being exact and then having exact numbers following was confusing.

Until you flip them on/off, and suddenly the difference is night and day.
There is one thing to have patterns emerging from code and being able to identify them and trying to shoehorn your code into patterns . Obviously the latter is a problem and I think it’s the culprit for the hate design patterns get. From my experince.. I’ve seen some twisted abominations in the name of design patterns in various codebases throughout my career, I think there’s some truth to it. However, I don’t disqualify the use of design patterns, they do have their own merits when used properly.
What do you think about running it via Wasm? .NET runtime can be compiled to WebAssembly. It creates slow-start, but pre-initialized snapshot of WebAssembly VM, like AWS SnapStart should make it low again.
> It's clear over the last 6-months that the project lacks clear and mature (in multiple senses) governance.

We have given Rust governance enough time and it is essentially still infantile and they continue to add fuel to the fire to this pointless drama.

Some people have warned for years [1] about the issues with Rust's governance structure as a 501(c)6 and now the core team have realized its inherent issues and is no more bureaucratic than the Linux Foundation. This is why you have these leadership issues and the opaqueness you have right in front of you.

Rust governance is not a 'community'. And its (past and present) problems of setting it up as a 501(c)6 just shows that to them the 'community' never mattered, only corporate interests.

>Agree completely - in that instance the individual should have some kind of DNR bracelet.

Even if you wear a DNR bracelet, there's a good chance that it'll be ignored. Bystanders often don't know to look for them and have no legal obligation to abide by them. Healthcare professionals routinely err on the side of caution if there is any doubt about the validity of a DNR order, in no small part because wrongful prolongation of life lawsuits are generally much less costly than wrongful death lawsuits.

Advance healthcare planning is a much more complicated business than simply wearing a bracelet. We need a broad societal conversation about end-of-life care, not least because DNRs are often misunderstood by both patients and healthcare professionals.

Financial speculation is an easy scapegoat but has very little to do with it. The fundamentals of supply and demand matter more. (Though, if you hate property speculators, the best way to burn them would be to suddenly legalize massive amounts of homebuilding. It's win-win).

I have a lot of sympathy for those priced out of the cities - that's exactly why I think there should be more homebuilding and better prioritisation of the limited supply, rather than those who were fortunate enough to be born earlier getting to hold onto subsidised housing units forever at everyone else's expense.
That’s like saying the Renaissance was nothing special because they were just building on the work of other people. Congratulations, you just described the entirety of human invention. Someone had to be first and there is a reason it was CERN. When you throw money at brilliant people sometimes they come up with brilliant solutions to mundane problems.
I have 3 members of my team in India, and they have been great.

If anything, I would say the cultural aspect of always changing jobs for a salary bump is a challenge.

But this same issue has started rearing its head in the US now.
First - My accountant knows it (along with a few other), it directly imports into their other back-office intuit software that does my taxes.

Secondly - my bookkeepers are trained specifically in QB (same with most bookkeeping services), and if I replace the software, I need to find new bookkeeping, or do it myself (which if I wanted to be a bookkeeper, that's what I would have become).

Lastly - this wont apply to most and a lot of people will probably look down on me, but I really like their "QuickBooks Capital" short-term medium interest loans. It is easy to get a $50k 12 month loan at around 8%. It comes in handy when clients are slow at paying (happens way too often).

> Doesn't sound like these people are living very large.

I bet there's a long line of people who'd love to live where they do, even paying more for it - and if those people would enjoy living there more, that's all the more reason they should have priority over these people.

> Canada is suffering from decades of housing policy failure.

Yep. And who voted for it?
That's sort of the point, location in a city? Yeah. But an entire city or country where $4k/mo isn't enough for food? Sounds like the people of the country got scammed by politicians and corporations.
100 pounds! We'll need at least 2400 pounds of automobile to handle such an unweildy load.

I jest but people handle shopping in a myriad of ways, if you live somewhere with good transit it's really not an issue.

The Big Shop is a bit of a symptom of suburbia's unavailability problem anyway, since it's such a pain in the butt to get groceries I would optimize it all into one big shop with the car. It's really similar to living remotely, I used to live in rural Aus and the closest shops where a town over, so you drove half an hour or so to get your groceries.

Living in the city, you do more shops but less per shop, and it is totaly managable on foot with good transit or by bike with good panniers/bags.
My accountant and bookkeepers go in and edit entries and accounts. So there is no read-only case where my CPA is concerned.

It is astounding how dorky Bay Area parties can be.

Lots of tech workers with too much money blowing off steam.

DJs and dancers come from out of town because a few hours in the bay pays 10 times more than Vegas.

But it’s not like anyone can dance. Or even anything remotely party related.

So it feels a bit like clowns at a child’s birthday party.
Hmm, I always read this as two towels for one person. I guess I’ve never encountered a hotel that didn’t give me at least as many towels as the people staying. That’s just absurd.
How do you measure merit?

Honest question.

I don't care about DEI. Not an American either. Just the whole "meritocracy" argument seems like it's a bit problematic.

In arts merit is really problematic but even in sciences and math. A person with the "right connections" can find himself collaborating with the best scientists and in the best labs. Whereas a person with bad connections might be unable to afford the networking even if they do get a scholarship to the best school.

Even in "objective" grading. Is the grade of the student who worked all night to afford school equivalent to the one who had a private tutor and all the free time to study?

To be clear: I don't have the answer for this. But I don't think anyone has. It seems to me that a lot of people use this word as a cudgel rather than use a more nuanced individual distinction. Which I agree, doesn't scale well.

> What would only take a few seconds for a single user would take hours for anyone seeking to establish a bot network spanning thousands of pseudo-users.

The claims on the mCaptcha site contradict this.
They say it takes about 2 seconds worst case for a computer to do the work, which is hashing sha 256. Looking around, an unaccelerated celron is about 1/20th the speed of a single ryzen core, and gpus are much faster.

Assuming the attacker has an 8 core ryzen with no gpu, they can hash 160 times faster than the person with an older machine.

Assuming the 2 sec upper bound is correct, this means a sub $1000 desktop can create 80 accounts per second, or 4800 accounts per minute.

If they are operating a botnet, then they presumably have access to more than one machine.
This really brings home the need to save for retirement. I don't think I'm saving enough. Not in my 40's yet but the sole breadwinner for my family and wages are not as good here in NZ for devs as they are in FANG companies.
