I mean, Pixar made it big with Toy Story, literally focusing on kids toys coming to life. I don’t really feel that talking dogs is any more pandering. Especially since it follows the general Pixar formula of taking something a child can relate to (toys, superheroes, monsters under the bed, etc), add in some heavy themes related to that (loss, insecurities, fear), add in some humor/lighter elements, and finish it off with a feel-good ending showing that if you continue to try and work together, you’ll always succeed.

They’ve always “pandered”, it’s in the job description. They do make movies for children after all. They just used to make movies with enough depth that adults could enjoy them too.

Yeah, the problem with self-ranking is that humbleness is actively harmful. 4/5 for everything is the only safe bet -- not the best, but one notch below. You would probably have people like Howard Hinnant or Dave Abrahams come to a similar question about C++ and rank themselves as a 3/5, thinking: "There must be so many edge cases that I don't know about!". Robot HR or dumb middle managers: "Ah, they are weak. Next!"

I struggle to find a definitive source, but I think John Goodenough is also credited with the invention of the try/catch block in programming.
Look at it from the bright side: you are likely born towards a local maximum in terms of human development. Too late not to notice the decline, but early enough that you aren't likely to suffer too much from it for the best part of your life.

Current forecasts put generalized famines, all around the globe, at somewhere between +2.5ºC and +3.0ºC of global warming. We are on track to cross +2.0ºC around 2050, at best 2055 [1]. So really, it's just around the corner.

At current trend, it's not lack of birth, but lack of food that is going to drive population decline...

This is the way. Later on tech-savvy freelance writers are contracted to write more “professional” articles and documentation. It’s fluff but necessary to build the brand. IMHO the person who did the external API design should be able to convey the ideas behind their design in long-form as well. And vice versa, only let a person who can explain stuff well in writing design external APIs. Some companies call them DX’ers.

Gametes, chromosomes and morphology - usually the first two are enough to determine 99.9r% of people as unambiguously male or female.

The situation isn’t helped by Americans often using the word gender as a direct substitution for the word sex. Gender is the set of social expectations around how the different sexes should look, feel, think and act.

Originally this was rigidly imposed (two genders - males obliged to be masculine / females feminine - or suffer negative social consequences) but now in the West people are free to construct their own gender from a set of infinitely variable gendered characteristics.

[disputed ideological view] Someone’s expressed gender doesn’t alter what sex they are, though - nor is someone’s ‘true sex’ that which their gender identity might suggest. I say this because it doesn’t seem logical to complicate sex (the process by which new humans are created) with the infinite complexity of human personality and culture. Sex doesn’t determine character, and character doesn’t determine sex - would be my TL;DR.
Particle uses (used?) thread for its local mesh network stuff. When I worked there, one complaint that was commonly fielded was it’s presence on the already crowded ISM band (2.4ghz) and that it has a very limited range.

Zigbee suffers from some of this but the protocol is much lighter and payloads smaller, which means the MCU can spend more CPU time and energy decoding messages. If we can get a chip that combines cellular with Bluetooth and LoRa, that would be a killer IoT platform.

Didn't Apple tinker with Objective-C a lot during its runtime, or am I just concentrating on the bumps? I remember reading the Cox book ages ago, where you basically had a simple SmallTalk-ish message syntax on top of plain old C. NeXt you got protocols etc.

Over the time of it being heavily used on OS X and especiallly iOS (where a lot of new and fledgling programmers came in), all kinds of stuff was added. Properties, various memory management experiments etc.

Sure, after Swift was introduced, that seemed to have calmed down a bit. But "mature"?

And no, it's not like other languages fare reasonably better, now that most of them are handled like products.

Generally, it is any transformation that preserves relevant structure.
I have a test suite with 100s of tests written by someone who was a big fan of this method.

When you run the test in isolation, 1s wait here and 2s wait there is not a big deal. But when you run 200 tests sequentially (because some of them don't work when they run in parallel), then it starts to add up, and your test suite starts feeling sluggish.
Interesting that we may get to be test subjects for:

What will be prioritised when there aren't enough workers for all the current positions?
- necessities for everyone
- luxuries for those who can afford exorbitant prices

It can be both, to some extent, but with any luxuries will come a sacrifice of necessities, and a sacrifice of necessities will increase the prices. The best of people will tend towards being paid more, which shallows the pool of talent for necessities, which reduces quality at the same time as increasing price.
Totally agree, but to stick to traditions here, the phrase is "it cannot be overstated".
Some timing difference are inherent but if they are exploitable is the real question. There are paper and tools produced that can give you a high confidence that you are not leaking.
Can you elaborate? Say you give 1.1.1.1/32 to a VM (Sorry CF). What route do you add to reach internet? Do you somehow configure the router too? What do you put in as a gateway? And what would be router IP in this example, if you had, say 1.1.0.0/16 ?

Wouldn't you need a /0 route for gateway?
Ruby is also based on Smalltalk. The author is just showing ignorance of where things come from.
Lean 4 uses FBIP, but it looks like this paper is about something called FIP, which is related but about guaranteeing there are no allocations or deallocations. FBIP as I understand it is more about being able write functional code in a natural away while avoiding allocations or deallocations.

(I agree about Lean 4 as becoming a great general purpose language though!)
If there are fewer people, won't there be less competition for housing and thus affordability would improve somewhat? If you need to spend less on a mortgage or rent, you may not need to work as much, or a single income couple might be viable once more, etc. (Or perhaps this just means cheaper property can continue to accumulate in the hands of wealthier people.)
Tea drinking in Ireland is a big part of the culture, and we have a lot of unwritten rules around it. I'm sure other irish HN'ers will jump in here and add to the list, but off the top of my head

- if you don't offer someone tea when they come to visit, you are rude. if they refuse, and you accept their first offer without insisting, that's also rude. you have to persist a bit. this was parodied in the TV show "Father Ted" but it has some truth to it

- additionally, if someone says yes to a cup and you don't offer a second cup a while later, probably rude

- if you don't have biscuits, you need to apologise and explain why.

- if you drink green tea or anything other than black "breakfast" tea, you're "fancy"

- Households are either "Barrys Tea" or "Lyons Tea" and people are expected to have a loyal devotion to one and hatred of the other. Other brands (non-irish) are ridiculed, although we all drink all kinds. (Note - this rivalry also extends to 'crisps' or potato snacks - you're either Tayto or Kings)

- some people prefer coffee which is fine, but if you don't like either you're considered odd

I'm not quite sure they are guaranteed to be deterministic across architectures either.

I think rounding up/down can vary across architectures. Mixing arm/amd/intel here should result in non-deterministic behavior potentially. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754#Reproducibility

Ah... I see. The game is using a software implementation of floating point maths to avoid this issue :). Smart. That in combination with the unified compiler should get you out of most of the trouble.
Every non-startup wastes incredible amounts on fads and other inefficiencies while still lasting perfectly fine. It's just business as usual. I could probably save my current largest clients many millions/year on dev if the CTO (& his tech leads) wasn't such a fad guy; he basically pops on Twitter every morning and starts sending over 'new stuff the team should look at'. There are 1000s of applications in that company and there is an incredible rot-fighting effort because of the use of the latest and the greatest frameworks. But millions/year is chump-change for this company so it's not happening any time soon. He does deliver, so the perception is that he gets things done; that entire teams are busy just updating 1 year old code dependencies for 0 business benefit is taken for granted.

I like this post. When you get past 10 years experience, you will have gone through phases of technology. Who is going to put "expert" for PHP 2023? Few. How about "expert" for Excel/VBA in 2023? Fewer. (Perl from mid-2000s!) Yet, 10-15 years ago these were important languages and ecosystems; today, much less.

I just saw a new hire at my company introduce themselves by email as a "senior developer" with two years experience. After reading that email, I cringed all the way under my desk...
The paper is about trying to statically analyze this. As I understand it, fip-annotated functions are ones that are checked to neither allocate nor deallocate.

There are a lot of useless therapies. I've been through several garden variety therapists and the cost was simply not worth it. Part of the problem with therapy is you know nothing about your new therapist, and more often than not the therapist has no idea what you're going through. So you lack the connection. The therapist/client relationship is very narrow and neutered and its easy to waste a lot of time.

However -- I did have some breakthroughs with a life coach I found watching youtube vids. It was really helpful for me to go into a therapeutic relationship when I already know I can connect with the coach on a personal level.

Got it working from the get-go and got similar results. I think the "this year?" in the prompt confuses it too much. With my prompt below, using "this decade?" works quite well.

Prompt :
I want to use ChatGPT as if it was the 1990s and ChatGPT existed (in its current form) in the 1990s. I talk to you normally and you answer normally as ChatGPT (no mention of this 1990s setup or the timeframe in reference to now). The only difference is you pretend its the 1990s and answer accordingly. Stay in character, you play yourself. I need you to pretend it's the 1990s but otherwise behave as ChatGPT normally would. Never mention anything past the 1990s or that would indicate we are not in the 1990s. Do not mention this conversation (it's a pre-prompt). Let's go. First question : which internet browser do you recommend ?

Answer:
There are several good browsers available currently. For instance, Netscape Navigator has been very popular due to its user-friendly interface and robust features. It's currently one of the most widely used browsers.

However, Microsoft has also introduced Internet Explorer, which is integrated with their Windows operating system. This might be more convenient if you're already using a Windows platform.

There's also Mosaic, developed by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), which pioneered many of the user interface elements we see in modern browsers.

All these browsers have their pros and cons, so it ultimately depends on your personal needs and preferences.

Q : Who are the top paid actors this decade?
A : During the 1990s, some of the highest-grossing actors have been:

Tom Cruise - He's been in a string of successful films including the "Mission: Impossible" franchise which started in 1996.

Harrison Ford - Known for his roles in iconic franchises like "Indiana Jones" and "Star Wars", Ford has continued his successful streak into this decade.

Jim Carrey - With his unique brand of physical comedy, Carrey has starred in a number of high-grossing comedies including "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective", "The Mask", and "Liar Liar".

Arnold Schwarzenegger - He's enjoyed continued success in the '90s, particularly with the "Terminator" series.

Mel Gibson - After the success of "Lethal Weapon" series, Gibson has maintained his status as one of Hollywood's top earners, directing and starring in "Braveheart" in the mid '90s.

Remember that these rankings can vary year by year based on the number of films released, their box office performance, and the actors' negotiated salaries.
They're targeting the marketing person that put them there because the landing page template they bought to customize had such a section. Nobody gets paid anything for it.
I like Objective-C too. It's just C with a very good lightweight abstraction layer for modeling GUI apps.

I'm enough of a purist to think Obj-C 2.0 (introduced around 2007 at the same time as iOS) was mostly a mistake. In old Objective-C, it was absolutely clear when you were sending a message. You couldn't mistake a line of C code for an Obj-C message call.

But Obj-C 2.0 lets you use the same syntax for message calls and struct member access, as in:

foo.view.bounds.size.width

Two of these dots are expensive virtual message calls. The other two are practically free stack pointer offsets. It's not in good C spirit to introduce this kind of confusion about performance impact. (However it's very much in the worst C++ spirit of frivolous overrides.)

And the benefits were mostly meaningless because the old way (which still works) was barely any longer to type, especially with IDE autocomplete:

[[foo view] bounds].size.width

I agree. BJJ brought me to a place of happiness that was amazing. I felt completely connected with my body.

Then I hurt my back three years ago doing weight lifting. I haven't been able to practice BJJ ever since, and I've been suffering with constant anxiety for the past three years. Every day since has been a struggle, with some really bad days, and some better ones.
It’s a negative feedback loop.

Poster A posts, sees interaction is low, and stops posting. Viewer A sees P-A stops posting, checks less. P-B sees posts and interactions decline, focuses on higher interaction platforms, meaning V-A has even less reason to check. When new people join, they find no one using the platform and abandon it shortly after, leading to a wasteland.
Seems easy and clear: they introduce a keyword "fip" that you use to mark a function as being fully in-place, and they statically check it.
That is definitely a decent pitch. I think if nim oriented itself around that pitch more it would do better.

However i do wonder how big the market is for "python, but faster and multicore". I suspect it is smaller than "c but safe".

>Fast forward to today, and we can run a production replica on our local machines at home, the CPU architectures aren't even the same, and code will be deployed through the CI automatically after the tests all pass.

And someone we squandered most of the CPU performance increases in the process, and the super-duper architecture/CI/delivery pipeline fails almost the same percentage of the time, but needs 10x the people to keep it running...
These are hypothetical questions to discuss where peoples beliefs fall.

Teleporters also don't exist, but we assume them for the questions. The 'soul' for 're-incarnation' was hypothetically 'discovered'. Given this discovery, how would that change peoples answers. Since many people do believe in souls, it is valid to see how they would answer. The questionnaire isn't just for what you already believe.

Guess, Why are you ok with hypothetical teleporters, but not ok with hypothetical soul? Really splitting hairs on the hypothetical questions.

Don't you see how your response to the questions makes you see a different framing of others beliefs? There are others in this thread that so believe in souls that they can't fathom the teleporter question and think it is foolish.

If someone asked me to describe what Nim is and what it's good at without looking at their promotional materials I couldn't tell you.

Even though I have never used Rust in any significant capacity (tried to do Advent of Code with it, gave up on the first task) I can still tell you what Rust is good at.

I can do the same for C, C++, Java/Typescript, Go, C#, Java etc.
I mean, you could s/Altium/KiCAD. Altium is also free for University students/faculty/staff, FWIW.

Lots of profession electrical engineers that I’ve met pay for personal copies of Altium for their moonlighting work, however. One short contract per year more than pays for it.

Hobbyists stick with KiCAD though, which would suffice for this work. Altium is mainly used by contractors for compatibility with their corporate counterparts.
Interesting hypothesis. I think your hypothesis has some merits. The way salary increases work in Swedish academia is that the union negotiates an average increase over the whole university -- say 2.5%. Then the department head will give some below the average and some above the average.

So it's up to you to be "the loudest in the department" to get an above-average increase.

Not saying how things should be, just saying how things are.
Eugenics is generally carried out not through selective breeding, but by removing the populations you do not want to breed. Same thing in 20th century America where the main effort was simply on removing elements from society that "we" didn't want breeding - which has the same effect while reducing the constraints on liberty, which would not be well received otherwise.

See, for instance, the famous quote from Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. that, "Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Interestingly enough, the ruling from that court case (Buck v Bell) was never formally overturned. It's simply that eugenics fell out of fashion, following it being taken to extremes by a certain vegetarian artist in Germany with a knack for rhetoric.

I first learned about Gut-Brain axis at a meditation school. About a decade ago. They pointed out clearly that there are neuron like cells in the gut region, and they are directly connected to the nervous system.

They didn't have any scientific proof, but I believed them. Their reasoning was on point. Fast forward a few years, Duke publishes a video[1] on the topic. And these days, I know dieticians and medical professionals who actively look for food anomalies to fix emotional issues and stress.

A typical ride starts at the trailhead where you meet the people you're riding with, or not (I ride solo a lot). Then you ride up a trail that takes you to the fun stuff, the decent trails. All trails are graded with a difficulty, so you pick one that suits you and start the decent.

They can be windy smooth trails through the forest, or rocky technical trails to test your bike handling, or gnarly steep downhill trails, or jump trails, the list goes on. You have full control over what you get yourself into, and I can just barely scratch the surface of the variety of riding available across all the disciplines and locations. The basics are the same, you and your bike on some trails.

You can develop your bike skills and challenge yourself on fast or technical trails, or you can just take it easy on flowy easy trails or cross country trails. You can dial up the adrenaline as much or as little as you want, and the terrain can be vary wildly from trail to trail so it's always new and interesting. You'll end up riding parts of your locale you'd never imagine and if you go travelling with it, there are trails in rainforests, deserts, mountain ranges, rolling hills, all over.

For the fitness side, you build strength and dexterity across your whole body as you ride more, and the ride up the hill will develop your cardio and often be interesting trails of their own.

Check out the Trailforks site/app to find trails near you, go rent a bike for ~$50 for the day from any MTB store. It's very easy to try without spending much.

The only equipment you need is a helmet, any bike helmet will do for your first rides. You'll figure out the rest of the gear as you go. Modern bikes are so easy to ride and have made it a crazy fun.
