>Make? VCPKG? Conan? MSBuild? Meson? Scons? Bazel? Make? Xcode? The-android-thingy? How do you mix and match those?

Almost everything I've seen is in Cmake, or can be easily interacted with it.

But in general, just pick something you like and stick with it. Sure, they're not perfect, but this list is actually a point I was making - you have a huge array of mature solutions out there already.

>Calling C++ simple is a new one to me. It's an industrial language that is not a total failure. Yes, people can write programs with it. The problem is there are much safer and better languages to write general programs, thus selecting C++ is giving yourself an intentional handicap in term of value created.

C++ is a simple language with complex things you can choose to use. If you understand the basic principles of loops, variables, functions, arrays, etc, you can write in C++ right away. You can layer on greater complexity with libraries and the STL, better patterns etc as you go, but you can start simple. That's a great benefit to someone learning, IMO.

C++ is as complex as you make it. I prefer to write fairly simple C++ personally and only break out the harder parts when absolutely needed. For example, I really don't like lambdas, so I just don't use them. And I can still solve anything I need to without them.
> But what am I supposed to make of patients who unexpectedly start speaking perfect Latin?

That a person who is a self-styled "witch" and "queen of satan" has a big incentive to learn latin and deny that she ever did. Just a few phrases would probably suffice. BTW how good is your latin that you can judge "perfect one" from "passable"?

> He or she might demonstrate “hidden knowledge” of all sorts of things — like how a stranger’s loved ones died, what secret sins she has committed, even where people are at a given moment. These are skills that cannot be explained except by special psychic or preternatural ability

Or, you know, cold reading.

> I have not witnessed a levitation myself, but half a dozen people I work with vow that they’ve seen it in the course of their exorcisms

Yeah, must be true then. Most likely explanation.

> One cannot force these creatures to undergo lab studies or submit to scientific manipulation; they will also hardly allow themselves to be easily recorded by video equipment, as skeptics sometimes demand.

Convenient, isn't it? On the other hand they don't care that you see them and write your book about them. They are only camera-shy.

Congratulations guys! I met Josef an airport in Paris a few weeks ago and learned about your project (the YC sticker on your laptop was the ice-breaker). Best of luck on building a thriving business. :)
Frequent and infrequent users of social media respond differently to rewards
First off, figure out how you define best. Is it:

Most pay?
Most interesting work?
Best work-life-balance?
Best ratio of pay to work stress?
Remote work?
Fun workmates?

As others have said, it often takes experience to really understand what your best job looks like. So start by building a list of qualities that define best. Once you define what best looks like, then you can start thinking about companies and what they look for. There are tons of resources on the web about interviewing for all sorts of different companies/positions.

Yes, build a project. See what you can get done in 2 weeks. Force yourself to produce something. Iterate. Build something else. Keep doing it. If you can get users and feedback that's so much better.

Have a github profile but don't put your best work there and use it to apply to companies unless you have had someone else do a code review beforehand. Unfortunately other engineers can be pedantic when anonymously reviewing your github and I've seen lots of premature disqualifications due to this.

I've hired hundreds of engineers, mainly software, data, and devops folks. If you're going for an environment that appreciates hackers (in the pg sense of the word) then it's all about showing that you have a passion for building things and self-learning.

Good luck! If you need help getting started hit me up @aiconference or @shon
Silica particles found in food and makeup could be chemically reactive

True but you should also recognize the world has more than humans. most other species will not be able to survive such even. Second thing is instead of counting how many dead I'd rather count how many man-years of lives reduced. I'd bet with every such event the average life expectancy goes down, especially for old, super young & sickly. so overall impact would be large number of man-years of lives removed from humanity. some will be discovered immediately & some will be found in retrospect.

Also, IMO most of deaths will come from decimation of food crops brought on by climate change induced 'weather randomization'. our world currently is super optimized for supporting 8B people. any one of the optimizations in the chain fail and we wont be able to easily recover. when multiple fail realistically the world economy sill settle into a non-globalized setup. that will support far fewer people than exist today.
It breaks when you upgrade packages that can't find a stable version for the node target.
I missed the git push --recurse-submodules flag, even though it seems like it's been there for a long time. Yeah, it seems like it would work, except you need to configure it to be always "check" and be always on when you push.
this only happens because it's not querying on demand, which is what the article indicates they're essentially (now) doing
Just a quick clarification. OTEL is not just a transport, its a specification.
Except ironically there's a theory that a lack of parasitic infections may contribute to autoimmune diseases:

Humanity evolved with parasites. Like gut bacteria, excessive focus on hygeine may be more harmful than helpful.

Ford can't sell Mach Es to save their life, though, because they don't have ludicrous mode/800 HP/name appeal. Massive flop from Ford (and I say that as the biggest ford fanboy in this thread.)

You and I know that the ford is made much better for "less", for obvious reasons
But ask yourself, who is going to buy a heavy electric SUV from Ford?

-a typical mustang GT buyer? No way.

-a person who currently has a model S/Y/3? fat chance.

-a new EV buyer? Too expensive and "bland". Does all EV
things "middle".

-A ford Fan? I'll gladly take the f150 lightning over mustang.

I want to see the f150 lightning and similar really make a dent/impression.

Yes, pivoting to a new career path can be financial painful if you have 10+ years of experience in previous career path. Utilizing programming skills as a differentiation from others is a really good option. Mixing any two areas of expertise is always a great sales pitch in getting a job.

Another tangent to this is applying to software companies who target your previous career's industry.
The otel collector/agent can do this. Not storage/query, but aggregation and processing.
> Housing is ridiculous

There is lots of housing outside of the Bay Area and other expensive cities.

> Utilities are ridiculous

As in the rest of the country. Climate change and soaring energy costs isn't a California-specific problem. Look at the TX grid for example.

> Political issues are rampant

What does this even mean? Where in the country doesn't have "political issues"?

> Homeless and crimes everywhere

Again, there is a lot more to California outside of three square blocks in San Francisco and LA that the media is focused on.

> Owning a car or anything bigger than a bike is a hassle and full of cost and regulations.

What is the hassle other than the fact that you are paying slightly more?

> Racial and political ideologues are everywhere including in schools and they have tremendous influence. One can lose their entire livelihood if they were found to have "wrongthink" by these ideologues.

Again, this describes every inch of this country, and is in fact a lot worse in conservative and religion-dominated cities/states.

The one thing I agree with is that things are generally expensive, but then you are also getting paid more to make up for it (CA minimum wage is $15.50 for example, and it is even higher in several cities). So overall you have to decide if it makes financial sense for you vs painting a broad generalization. There is no haven for poor people in this country, and California at least has social programs.

If you want (1) cheap and (2) conservative, then the Bay Area is not the place for you, and it doesn't need to be. There are plenty of other reasons to move, like weather, social policies, jobs/career progress, access to nature, mountains/beaches/hikes/ski slopes, walkable cities, worker protections, LGBTQ rights, women's rights/healthcare, treatment of minorities, general quality of life.
Perl is much more terse for one-liners and has much more built-in for doing text processing in scripts. Stuff like implicit read loop, field separation, etc. I would say they're suitable for different jobs: if a perl script grows beyond a hundred lines (you can do a surprising amount in that space!), then Python may be the right tool.

Perl is also much more of a known target: some version of it exists on basically every single Unix, and the language really hasn't changed that much in the past decade. I have SSH'ed into multiple CentOS 6/SLES 11 (released 2009, and granted mostly to rescue data off them) servers in the past 2 years, and perl is just much more of a known target to write things against than whatever python release is on that system.
10 years ago, I was a contractor for a small startup using SCRUM. We had literally 4 hours of meetings per/day. Every other week, we had an additional 1 hour planning meeting. I also had to laugh when she decided to add 'water cooler' meetings. We were developers from all over the globe forced to have awkward conversations.

It was strange as a developer to be paid to be in meetings more than actually coding. Especially in a company with 10 employees.

Eventually, the owner started having fits because we weren't getting anything done on time and she eventually let me go. At this point, I had already started a new business and was almost making enough to cover my basic expenses.

In the call when she let me go, she told me that she could hire 3 people in India to do my job, so that's what she was doing.

Funny you should mention that. I'm pretty sure the reason this project was so difficult to process was the (IMO) abusive use of macros. I'm talking foo!( in one line, and several hundred lines below was the closing parenthesis.

With --recurse-submodules the atomicity doesn't seem to suffer. It used to be the case that you couldn't ensure all changes in the source tree couldn't be pushed atomically, now you can, but I'm not sure it's the default behavior.

Freedom of $peech is a broad umbrella. And at least in America, we are incredibly business friendly while being rather cavalier regarding consumer protections.

At the same time we are an incredibly litigious society, so you end up with a perverse situation where laws, regulations, and bureaucratic inefficiencies choke up the efforts of businesses and nonprofit organizations (and even local governments), but individual consumers still regularly get fucked with absolutely no recourse. Other than shelling out for a lawyer and taking someone to civil court themselves.

Lobbying is it's own can of worms as a system with perverse incentives and ethical quagmires. But good luck getting any traction trying to change the way that works.. anyone in a position to make changes to it stands to benefit from this way of doing things (and has probably been indoctrinated into believing it is an effective and equitable system in any case). At least our brand of political corruption is (mostly) out in the open and "on the books." Businesses and NGOs get tax write-offs for their lobbying expenses, so there is plenty of documentation.

Right? To me it's more than just a cheap joke because it opens such possibilities. My first thought was of Amazon expanding out under Puget Sound in Bioshock-esque sunken office buildings.
That's awesome! Thank you for telling us! And hi from Paris ;)
also all projects, git or anything else, have limited resourcing. I'd rather it's spent on the prioritized features & needs than exhaustive testing for edge cases.
I've recommended an emergency battery system for their house / air conditioner, a reserve stock of water in the house, a "go bag," and an escape plan to the mountains. Longer term, they are realizing that their primary residence risks unhabitability in summer months. I realize they're in a privileged position, though.
Easier than prosecuting car thieves or getting their DAs to actually do their jobs
Software developer here, also doing development support work at times. Still, in the last 20 years it never happened that I got a call from work, despite emergencies being pretty common. As it should be, in countries with strong employee rights.

Exactly. Just use what you need. Only use the big hammers when absolutely needed. That's the power of C++ IMO. Lots of big hammers out there, but lots of smaller ones for when you don't!

Ask HN: Which hardware to ship to customer as SSH “jumpbox”?
I'm looking for a small / cheap hardware appliance that can be shipped to locations and just need to be plugged into a network cable / power. It should then connect to some kind of cloud and be accessible for me so I can deploy code to it or just SSH into it. It's important that there's no maintenance necessary and it just auto-connects in case there's issues.

I found products which look somewhat related:

- https://kubesail.com/blog/pibox-raspberry-pi-powered-nas

- https://docs.balena.io/learn/getting-started/raspberrypi3/python/

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIPE_Atlas

Any hints on keywords on how to find something like that? My main use case would be to run a Squid proxy at the location.

Thanks!
The reality is that most people don't want to manage their own Clickhouse store, and not all engineers can operate with SQL as efficiently as with code (me included). Nonetheless, this is pretty cool!
I'm pretty sure all contracts require an exchange, even if a token one. That's why there's a concept of a token payment. A contract without an exchange (a 1-sided contract) is a covenant.

A FOSS license is granting a right of use under a particular set of restrictions, and it is doing it through the means of voluntarily giving up the government-granted right to enforce copyright that the author is entitled to. But the customer is giving nothing. It can't be a contract. The violation of it only represents a loss for one side.

A license in exchange for payment is a different story.

As for the statement, as a professional I do tend to believe other professionals. Ultimately the statistics don't lie: lithium ion related fires are a minority of current household causes. To your point, that may change over time particularly where larger installations (e-bikes, solar system batteries) are involved. I'll pitch that the regulatory regime is more than capable of catching up and enforcing change if the degree of risk starts to go up. We already see fire departments commenting on it, so it won't be long before we start seeing guidelines and restrictions on battery sizes within homes.
Have you seen the OTEL auto instrumentation package[1]? It supports a number of common frameworks (as middleware) and libraries (via monkeypatches) setting up spans for you to capture things like external http requests, database/cache queries, etc. [2]

Telemetry seems like it would be a great candidate for columnar storage formats like Parquet or arrow. In particular I expect that it would compress very well, which could reduce telemetry bandwidth consumption / allow for a bigger sample rate.

Does anybody have any experience with the intersection of these technologies?
The original comment was quite clear in its intent. The only interpretation of your response was that you wanted to play devil's advocate --- something we could really use less of these days.

Something const would catch is rarely the cause of broken software. In my experience, most issues in software are logical and often derived from complex behaviors and interactions, not misuse of syntax.

I imagine it's regulatory for fission plants. Fusion is still a ways off, in terms of us having net-positive energy, but is the "true" nuclear energy solution as far as I'm concerned.

The difference is a fusion's byproduct is helium, and if the core "melts down," it implodes rather than explodes. Fission creates waste who's half life is 4.5bil years (which is demonstratedly toxic to humans, hence where I imagine the apprehension for bringing reactors online is coming from)

The paper [1] is more well written and clear than the CNN article. They were comparing the aggregate life expectancies of people who went through regular screenings vs those who did not, and there was near zero difference except for colorectal screenings where the difference was about 4 months of difference.

The paper is indeed presenting strong evidence that regular screenings have minimal value.

You can get to a pretty clean modern C++ by convention and compiler warnings and static analysis.

Carbon is a completely new language, and that's the point. Part of the language design is making compilation a lot faster, for example, as well as features that C++ can't realistically implement, while retaining C++ interop. It's an exciting way forward if they manage to achieve their goals, and it would be a way to gradually migrate C++ projects.
