You can't have an effective package manager for a compiled language unless the package manager is actually a part of your own build system.

The example I always use: you want to use libfftw ("Fastest Fourier Transform in the West"). But the library can be compiled with (at least) two options: use floats or doubles, use threads or not. That creates (at least) four possible variants of the final library.

The only way to address this (and IIUC, Cargo for Rust does this) is to somehow have the pkg manager be a part of your build system, so that you end up with a local copy of the library, built as required.
Not only severance but unemployment compensation (which can significantly affect mandatory unemployment insurance costs to the company) can also be avoided by companies if their people quit instead of being laid off.

That is why there is the concept of "Constructive Dismissal" (or other similar terms). If the company is significantly degrading your work conditions, hours, requirements, interactions, responsibilities, etc., for the reason of getting you to quit instead of firing you, there may be an issue.

If you have immediate better employment options, take them without doing your old company any favors. But if you do not, start making detailed contemporaneous logs of what is happening to you (and what happened before) and talk to an attorney specializing in your state's employment law. Do not take it lying down, especially if you don't have immediate better options.
Bad science in Star Trek? Perish the thought.
Any sort of defect like this should disqualify the product. It’s embarrassing and alarming that this casting wasn’t scrapped.
> I'm okay with cryptographic requirements as long as it's a potential vector for an attacker.

Yeah, I'm not. I don't for a moment believe that it was implemented to prevent this, considering that it's an attack vector that is incredibly rare. It was implemented to prevent anyone but Apple from repairing things. The cost/benefit ratio of this is extremely unfavorable.

The glue thing is problematic to me, but for environmental reasons rather than reparability reasons. It does make fixing things more of a pain, but it doesn't prevent fixing things.

Solid state storage (as well as other things, such as soldering in batteries and such) being soldered onto the mainboard is similar. It doesn't prevent replacing those components, but it does make it more of a hassle. I think that it would be better to make consumables in a device so that end-users can easily replace them without electronics skills would be ideal, and I do hope the industry finds a way back to when that was standard. But, strictly speaking, that speaks to convenience of maintenance, not the ability to perform maintenance.

The one key difference is, in cold climates we heat our spaces and any heat that "leaks out" or is otherwise incidental is absorbed by the cold outside.

In the hot climates, we cool our spaces, but in the process we pump extra heat outside, making it warmer when it's already too warm.
Were you doing any rooting, flashing of custom roms, large i/o operations like video stuff or similar? The average flash memory chip quality of that era (depending on the supplier) wasn’t great, they can’t handle as much read-write cycles as typical modern consumer silicon.
And I guess the TV tube was also more likely to just kill the person working on it, not random people who live in your building. (Still not a great outcome, but better if the only person who dies is the only person who actively consented to the risks.) A lithium fire is gonna spread pretty quickly.
Replying to - Major tech fads (remind me - is OOP in fashion or not right now?)

It depends on the definition of OOP which we can never agree on. This site says
Alan Kay's definition is: OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme LateBinding of all things.
https://wiki.c2.com/?AlanKaysDefinitionOfObjectOriented

My personal feeling is that people are tired of talking about OOP. It is as useful as arguing what Agile is. I find it more interesting to talk about the motivations behind new computer languages, people are inventing. e.g., Rust claims the main purpose of using Rust is enhanced safety, speed, and concurrency, or the ability to run multiple computations parallelly. e.g., Kotlin claims it makes coding concise with less boilerplate.
Toyota Prius is one of the simplest currently made ICE cars. There is nothing simpler and more reliable than port injection inline 4 engine and eCVT transmission.

What I don't get: If they're really worried about battery fires, why do the lobbyists always ask for category exceptions for "bikes" or "cars" and not "batteries"?
I'm at the point where I'd like to replace all my clocks with some pictorial representation of Sol's position in the daily cycle and Luna's position in the (near-)monthly cycle. Working with the body's circadian rhythm, rather than ignoring/contradicting it, seems appropriate to me, especially since so much about our mood (hormones, etc.) is governed by our exposure to natural light and the rhythms of sleep -- see: "farmer time".

Among many other reasons, one of them is to eliminate the fabled and apparently widespread phenomenon of "plan to start a thing at 14:00; oops it's 14:03, guess I'll keep procrastinating and start that next thing at 14:30 instead". With no hard boundaries aside from sunrise/sunset, this would probably be a much more difficult excuse to lean on. Remains to be seen whether new excuses come to replace the old.
As an interesting side-note, 365 has two prime factors: 5 and 73. That means you can cleanly divide the year in five 'seasons' (or 'pentamesters', I suppose) of 73 days each, which somehow seemed... beautiful to me from a mathematical perspective.

In case anyone else is curious and wants to segment their year in 20% chunks, the start dates are:

- January 1st

- March 15th

- May 27th

- August 8th

- October 20th

This isn't some abstract "readability", though, this is "how close are your langauges in the evolutionary tree". Where ALGOL is the proto-indo-european of quite a lot of langauges, but not all.

Thanks! That's exactly what I thought someone would have started a business to do. Glad to know it was actually tried.

If the results were bad then, I can't help but think they'd be far better now. I have to assume automatic vectorization is now much improved since the 90's.

Get her connected to the local blind community. Listen to them.

Smartphones are amazingly accessible, even for fully blind people, so the sooner she can start getting used to the accessibility features on her preferred platform, the better. (Apple was there first, so many prefer Apple, but they are basically interchangeable now).
This right here is why people have a problem with you and your language. You did make outrageous claims, and to now say you didn't is gaslighting. Accordingly, people do not trust you.

Here's just one. On an early version of your webpage you said in big bold font:

> V can translate your entire C/C++ project and offer you the safety, simplicity, and up to 200x compilation speed up.

When people called you out, it turned into this small subscript:

> C++ to V translation is at an early stage.

And it's been in an "early stage" ever since.

I'm sorry, but when you said "can translate your entire C/C++ project" did you mean "can" or did you mean "one day will be able to". Because those are completely different, and to say one when you mean the other is grossly misleading. To now say that you never said the former outrageous claim is gaslighting. We're not idiots or goldfish.
Ask HN: Companies having their own sport team competing in amateur/pro division?
Are there any companies which have formed sports team within it which are regularly participating in official amateur/pro leagues?

It can be anywhere, US, Europe, Japan...for example in Europe there is a football team called Philips Sport Vereniging (PSV) which was born to serve the needs of physical exercise of Philips employees. It then became a professional football team.

Does something like that exist today?
There is an element of that, but C and C++ are not young either and have retained more of their peak popularity.

How would you recommend cooling down for hundreds of thousands of people at a time? I have to assume that those affected wouldn't have easy access to AC.

Anyone who has so much as sat in a mid to top tier car from BMW/Mercedes/etc will instantly come away with an overwhelming sense that a Tesla feels cheap by comparison (because it does). Classic things like the sound and feel of closing a door, gripping a steering wheel, pushing a button, etc.

If you pay attention to detail this can often be experienced from the car externally - famous cases of Tesla tending to have poor tolerances and high variability in things like panel gap, etc.
OTEL is awesome. I was part of the team integrating it at my job, it went really smoothly, and it saved us so much time debugging our microservice application.

I would say the hardest part was getting other devs to use it, a lot of them are stuck in their own way and did not want to go through the relatively small learning curve...
I dont allow other people to set my fonts. Nor do I allow them to go under a certain font size, and if the colour choices suck too badly I use reader mode.

I don't think we should sacrifice the innovation and development of an entire industry on the backs of a tiny vocal niche of people who claim they want to repair their own batteries. If there was some standard form factor the entire last decade of the e-bike industry would never have happened. We'd be stuck with the Yamaha/Bosch/Shimano-style battery pack sitting inside the triangle, and we would not have the superior integrated systems of Trek and Specialized.
> By analogy, imagine if some people started arguing that ceasar salads (with chicken) are vegetarian, because salads contain mostly vegetables. Wouldn't it be reasonable for everyone to resist that semantic drift? The term "vegetarian" would lose both its history and its usefulness.

Depending on one's needs and interests, they changed it from Apache 2 a few months ago: https://github.com/apecloud/kubeblocks/blob/5ba9b39716940cd7... I didn't dig into the changes to see if there's anything super interesting that happened between then and now

It really, really jams me up that the GitHub license thing is so stupid that when looking at a file containing the Apache 2 license it continues to say AGPL right across the top of that file. It's so misleading. Their license sniffer always shows $default_branch/LICENSE regardless of what branch (or file) one is looking at
There are other complex issues - one of the reasons India decided to shutdown the fab was because they require an incredible amount of pure water. India is afraid that diverting water to fabs would hinder its agricultural production and curtail its ability to feed its billion+ population. (India was once dependent on food imports and it was a horrible political experience due to the unfair demands made on India for it).
Was it with Tesla? Curious what happened..
This is changing the subject. The point being made is that electrical devices and infrastructure burst into flames a lot, and burn houses down.

Battery fires are horrible, and we should be regulated to protect our neighbors from them just as we regulate other electrical devices, explosives, flammable or noxious chemicals, and home wiring. That does not mean that we should allow private companies to dictate how we use or repair the products they've sold us, even though it could absolutely include legislation to forbid us from experimenting with certain batteries under certain circumstances or without certain licensing.
Short answer is not entirely.

Most home internet still has unique public IPv4 in the US. There is technically nothing stopping a mobile operator from granting its endpoints fresh IPv6 addresses frequently.

Where do you draw the line? Did you see how Australia was dealing with it? They stopped being a democracy once their politicians got a taste of the immense and inordinate new powers to control the average person. This happened in the United States to a lesser extent too, with hall monitors enjoying new unwarranted authority over people's bodies and livelihood even when evidence like from this latest study was already known. Anybody who questioned the narrative or warned about the direction was treated like a pariah.

Yes they do. When you get your license you have to past a test that talks extensively about defensive driving and how to deal with other drivers.

I'm far from expert on anything to do with the industry you're targeting or the engineering challenges you might be facing, but the idea sounds so reasonable I'm surprised it's not already a thing.

I'm curious though about the tradeoffs of using the envelope as the tank vs. some other source. I'd assume it introduces more opportunity for leaks, and you have to "oversize" the envelope to stay aloft even after you've used all the fuel necessary for a tour. Is there a situation in which it would make more sense to keep your fuel and H2 separate?

The best implementation in the article shows an improvement by factor 89. Which is surprisingly low if we assume the processor (Xeon Platinum 8481C) runs with 112 threads in parallel. The final 35k speedup is probably not in question as Mojo will run on GPUs.

Yep working with big li-ion batteries is dangerous and should be done with proper equipment and safety measures, but claiming that nobody can do that but the producer is BS. They just make sure nothing else is compatible so you have no alternatives. Same with electric tools - is every lawn mower so unique that it can't be powered with another brand's battery? It could, but to prevent that producers add proprietary authentication and such. They even make new generation of tools incompatible with previous gen batteries, just to be sure you're not accidentally reusing anything.
Seriously? The author did not read the license and declares it ineffective?

I mean come on. The entire point of the AGPL is to make the GPL apply even in the absence of distributing anything.
How can the US and China prevent a war?
The US and China remain on a collision course. The new cold war between them may eventually turn hot over the issue of Taiwan. The “Thucydides trap” – in which a rising power seems destined to clash with an incumbent hegemon – looms ominously. But a serious escalation of Sino-American tensions, let alone a war, can still be avoided, sparing the world the cataclysmic consequences that would inevitably follow.
Maybe try and stop caring about internet points - other than acting as a prompt to ask yourself "do these downvotes mean I should think more about what I said and consider whether it was a good thing to say", downvotes don't do anything bad to you and a high karma score doesn't do anything good.

I wish more people could view points/karma as simple a useful tool for the website, not a metric of personal achievement. Especially as it's such a shit metric for personal achievement - I've earned 124 points (so far) just for submitting this article, which took me 30 seconds and no skill at all. While I've written comments that I felt were useful, intelligent, and not quick to write that only got a single upvote because it was just helpful to one person. Who cares?

I'd also add that it doesn't make much sense to say "that makes it pretty clear why this site has pretty much evolved" about a policy that has been the same since the site launched 15+ years ago.

And also that the HN Guidelines even explicitly say "Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills." with each of the words in the second sentence linking to old comments making the same claims dating back as far as 2009." (though personally I do think it's getting worse... but I've no idea if that's real or just from the angle I'm looking at it from.)

But of course you're free to leave if you don't like the site any more, or you could email the mods and lobby them to change the guidelines in some way, or you could try setting a good example to others by only posting substantial and interesting comments etc. Plenty of options :)
Depending on how you define "randomly", you might have just decided no more phones, laptops, etc. Bad batteries can sneak into even the best supply chains and cause fires.

I agree that the plot repeatedly follows society making choices which I find implausible -- but if one reads that alienation (one's inner critic saying "this is not the world we live in") as part of the experience of the work, then it can function as a kind of compelling tool. Noting all the points where humanity in the book takes necessary and beneficial actions to improve their situation, that are available to but refused by our society, one arrives at a pretty jarring condemnation. Not only is the current disaster entirely of our making, but all the ways in which it will fail to be addressed are also our responsibility.

Kind of an uphill struggle this one, because there's no standard implementation of the language, nor is there a standard build system. You have to deal with multiple vendors, one of whom is Microsoft and many of whom are unwilling to change rapidly.
