The VC6 IDE was nice as a code editor and debugger and the compiler was a bit better than C++ Builder's, but that is only as far as it goes. When it came to making desktop GUI applications C++ Builder was lightyears ahead of VC6. In fact it still is, it is much easier to make a desktop GUI application[0] in the very first version of C++ Builder than it is on the very latest version of Visual C++.

The VCL framework combined with the visual editor in C++ Builder[1] are way more advanced than anything Microsoft has made available for (regular[2]) C++ developers targeting the windows desktop.

[0] as long as you don't care about the fact it'll use some old versions of GUI controls, though a manifest resource can fix that

> Your code structure should match your org chart is the best advice I've seen for splitting code.

I've seen that so often it now feels like a sarcastic meme to me.

The org structure changes much faster than your code structure does. Good luck getting those two to stay in sync longer than the CTO stays in their role.
Being sold a job working for a specific salary at 40 hours a week, and then being told to work 80+ hours a week without overtime in order to keep your job, and having all trace of your work removed from the credits if you leave. That's how the games industry works.
I always thought this was a great idea, but most developers don't even understand normal tabs so this never really stood a chance.

Government policy. The US has multiple quasi-government mortgage market makers (because just one is somehow not enough...) that define baseline terms for home mortgages, and everyone must play their tune. See Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Seriously. That's what they're named.

There is another one tangentially involved as well that I can't remember the name of.
If that's really you, I give you a lot of credit for being bold. You and the CEO of LifeLock both. Hopefully your confidence doesn't blow up in your face the way his did, but when/if it does, you'll probably never know why it's happening to you exactly. The easier it is to link that data to your identity the riskier it'd be. I haven't seen the 23andme data, but if it includes names, addresses, email addresses, family members, etc they're going to be a lot worse off than you likely are.
I’m biased because I work on payments at Solana Labs, but IMO international payments is the most promising so far.

AFAIK there’s nothing competitive with sending an international payment of any amount in half a second for a tiny fraction of a cent in fees.

For example, Visa recently expanded their pilot of USDC settlement to include Solana, citing its speed and low fees: https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.rele...

They refer to it as “modernizing cross-border money movement” and I think that summarises the potential pretty well!
This is antibiotic marketing bs. There are antibiotic that harm pathogenic or prone-to-overgrowth bacteria harder than others, but they ALL lead to a state of dysbiosis and susceptibility to subsequent colonization/overgrowth/dysregulation

And this is the exact reason whymost of the time, GI problems come back or are replaced with different symptoms after antibiotics, and why we need more Fecal Microbiota Transplant research.
I'm guessing we'll see a weird mix of the following with the fed adjusting policy to keep everything together.

-80s inflation (higher interest rates hurting real property value, especially in higher value coastal metros)

-90s stagflation (a significant decline in national real property values masked by some inflation)

-50s postwar economic expansion (economics/warfare in EMEA keeping demand for US energy, agriculture, and products high even with higher inflation hurting asset valuations)
Hailing from the region that this article focuses on, I moved away quite some time ago and visits were few and far between. Lately, however, I've been making more frequent trips back for the family, kids, and reconnect with old school friends.

The recent events unfolding in the region have unfortunately jeopardized a climate business I launched last year, which had the potential to bring millions of dollars in investments to the area (the hilly border region between India and Myanmar). I don't foresee a quick resolution to the situation. In fact, I expect it might take a few decades before we see a return to any semblance of normalcy.

We made the decision to alter our business model (or to be more specific, our initial go-to-market strategies) halfway through this year, acknowledging that the resources we'd invested there were unlikely to yield returns.

During the Internet shutdowns, our family was able to assist many people back home with various needs, such as bill payments, school fees, and facilitating new admissions, among other things.

While there may be other solutions, I'm of the opinion that these swift shutdowns are playing a crucial role in preventing the situation from escalating into a "Meta in Myanmar" scenario.
Well they already have that liability. Can’t see a reason to add more.

I feel like its a bit weird all the examples are coordination between separate (possibly competing) projects, when the implied solution is having a single person responsible for quality. That doesn't make sense to me.

Sure you could have a single person responsible for quality within a project, and that may even be a good idea (BDFL is a pattern for a reason). However you can't do that across organizational boundries. Ports will have lots of duplication because the entire point is to bring the wider world together including projects competing against each other.

Like the solution just doesn't seem applicable here. It feels like the equivalent of someone suggesting to fix the problem of firefox & chrome doing the same thing by appointing a single person responsible for web quality. The solution doesn't seem wrong so much as non-sensical.

I don't particularly see the connection to cathedral & bazaar either. Even before that book competing software projects had duplication.
My dude. I taught VB 6 as well as Visual FoxPro in rural Kenya as part of the KASNEB/KNEC national standards.

The immediacy of feedback in these platforms was responsible for many of the enlightened and motivated faces in those classrooms.

Seems more like the layoffs were about laying off the union members. Some CEOs perceive unions as cancer that has to be stopped from metastasis. In countries with stronger union protection laws this move would have been illegal

TCP got way too big overhead. A multiplayer engine in which you send 30 messages per second for 128 users is what i need. Not possible with websockets withput having super computers.
Great depression is why.

Before real estate loan terms were exploitive interest only loans that the bank could call in any time. Worse they could demand payment in a fixed amount of gold. And when they foreclosed the owner lost his entire collateral.

First three years of the great depression was an orgy of foreclosures driven by bankers greed and panic. FDR closed the banks, seized all gold except for personal jewelry. The new deal introduced 30 year fixed rate mortgages to make sure the banks couldn't do that again. Loosening rules led to the 2008 crisis where they did it again. But the rules did still protect most.
Sure FOSS proves their ability to work in a team, but you also have to consider that, generally, FOSS contributions will be less impressive due to the limitations of working in a group - in a long term project all the cool stuff is usually done and you need to get approval for big changes. That means your FOSS work is more likely to be stuff like bug fixes, UX changes, maybe a new export format.

Then compare that to a pet project where there are no limitations apart from what you’re capable of, so I think naturally people will be driven towards that so that they can do whatever their vision is.
This seems pretty far fetched.

Do you really think a judge would allow a guilty verdict based on stolen genetic data obtained from a hacker?

Do you really think braindead landlords and HR people would make decisions based on Promethease or whatever future tool replaces it?

Monetarily the genetic data is marginally valuable at best, which is the same reasons 23andme revenue comes almost entirely from novelty-seeking consumers rather than industry.
> to the point I was evicted due to nonpayment of rent because I regressed to a depression I hadn't had since my grandfather died, my mother had cancer, and my dad would threaten to have me sent to a now close facility to be raped by [insert racial slur here] if I wasn't sufficiently deferential to his tantrums.

No, you were evicted due to nonpayment. The rest are excuses you have made up.

> Fuck landlords

You are a bum who steals the resources of others, who blames their misfortunes on others which are self-inflicted. I do think that no one, including you, deserves abuse from those around them (including your family. With that said, your being evicted does seem completely deserved -- which is a sentence I never thought I'd write.

> I'm oversharing, but I don't care -- having someone interfere with my job searh, with my quiet enjoyment, the same moment my family withdrew support bevcause I refused to be an unpaid caregiver to unrepentant child abusers turn me into a cold man who you might not recognize if you knew me as the straight edge nerd who used to read Mad Magazine in the corner.

You aren't a "cold man" you are a coward with delusions of grandeur whining that your family won't subsidize your unemployment and extended adolescence. You aren't a "straight edge nerd" you are an ADULT and you ought to act like one. But you won't because you'd rather throw childish tantrums and harangue the family that is the only reason you aren't dead on the street right now.

For goodness sake, you're almost 40. Don't you have any shame for lacking a career never mind savings and a family? There's nothing wrong with being considered a conventional failure as a man if you have other value structures you could perceive worth inside of, but I don't really think that's where you're operating inside of.

I think you are really, really fortunate that you have such an accommodating family. Really fortunate. If they cut off their spoiled brat of a child (you), you're going to be in for quite a nasty surprise.
I'm also not sure what you mean by the context doesn't propagate between containers and/or pods -- GRPC isn't aware of these Docker/Kubernetes aspects at all.

Do you actually mean that unless explicitly propagated to a subsequent downstream RPC the data is dropped? If so, that's by design.

However, most large-scale organizations that are doing distributed tracing (e.g., Twitter, Uber) have either invented, reproduced, or leveraged OpenTelemetry's design for this precise thing.

Naive context propagation isn't (really) the difficult part with most of these designs -- it's what you've done, using an interceptor, reading the data and assigning it automatically on subsequent requests -- the challenge is dealing with this under many different, real world conditions: a.) concurrency and thread scheduling; b.) not all services use the same version of downstream RPC libraries; c.) not all calls are GRPC, and some use HTTP (and, different HTTP libraries, at that.); and d.) you cross message passing boundaries: i.e., I receive request, write to Kafka queue/reliable workflow backend (e.g., Cadence, Temporal) and re-read the request and then execute a subsequent RPC as a result of that message.

If you're using Kotlin, I suspect you will run into these challenges. Tune your thread pools up/down, restrict your JVM's resources, and you'll suddenly see that if the thing that handles the request uses different threads/coroutines/etc. then the code block that issues the downstream RPC, you'll start dropping the context without explicit handling of that case.

In fact, a very simple test case in Java where you use several, concurrently executed CompleteableFuture's that each issue RPCs, in a very small thread pool should be enough to see the issue.

> to achieve less value if interest rates are high

it could be more value compared to the future when interest rates may be even higher
tl;dr: Long-term harm that might happen to kill off whatever's harming you in the process, but don't count on it.

Long version: It depends on specific antibiotic- generally, they wipe a portion of the strains completely, suppress most of the rest, and give anything resistant the opportunity to grow out of control, a state which persists for weeks to months during which you're extra susceptible to external pathogens, food poisoning, etc. A healthy microbiome is resilient, and sadly if you don't have one, FMT is the only way to do it.
I think there is a balance: I try to write useless explorative software that has no expectations beyond learning in my spare time, and at work I try and focus my time on very pragmatic, focused, "useful" work.

Don't confuse exploratory learning code with production code, respect the boundary (IMO)

if you don't have an escape sequence to set border padding for the current column or table, a simple expedient is to insert a space at the end of the widest cell of each column, or every cell if you don't know which cell is widest (say, because you're programmatically producing output to be rendered in an unknown font). it's true that there are occasional tsv files where that would corrupt your data (because they contain unquoted strings that aren't trimmed of trailing spaces on input), but those files are already in trouble with conventional terminals if a trailing space matters, because that data corruption would be invisible

if you have a header line, and your field names do get trimmed on input (or discarded), you can insert the padding spaces there

for tabular data display, escape sequences to insert vertical rules between columns are also desirable

the tab-stop mechanism is just a 19th-century limitation in the mechanical typewriter technology of the time. we can design new systems today that do what we think is most useful; from my point of view, arranging information in a table is more useful than advancing to the next tabstop

ugh

as it happens, arranging text in tables also gives you the ability to do a flexible visual layout that accommodates proportional fonts of multiple sizes, so you can also stop using ugly typewriter fonts

we can stop imitating the typewriter's flaws now, we've had pixels for 60 years already. the question is how to make pixels as easy to use as a typewriter
"Lightning" in "lightning cable" is spelt "lightning" and not "lightening". Lightening is "to make lighter", and "pocket-lightening" likely refers to him/her not liking to spend money on lightning cables or that he/she thinks that they cost more than they are worth.

Those same incumbents are sponsors of OSM, which right now isn't a cause for alarm, but it does make one wonder what their long-term strategy is.
If you look at a graph of interest rates that goes back more than 50 years you'll see that the recent period of very low rates is an abhoration. It was weird. It hasn't happened before. 8% is a return to normal (still a little low if anything). Refusing to sell because you believe rates will drop is just making your life more difficult because it almost certainly won't happen.
The article says it only "kicks in" at certain times.

If your argument is that it "works" all the time even when it's not affecting charging, therefore the article is wrong, you are splitting hairs in the worst possible way. And if you're not arguing the article is wrong you might need to reread the comment thread.
> Exactly, 100% nuclear is not achievable without storage: nuclear can do baseload but not daily peaks.

Fabulous how you get that from my comment. Talk about confirmation bias.

It's literally the opposite, as illustrated by France doing most of its daily load variations from nuclear.
I think the installer wont work and needs some workarounds to convince it to install but the program should work.
No, blockchain is a protocol allowing to insert data into that data structure in a decentralized and secure way. Do you know what "block" in blockchain is for? It is there solely for more efficient application of proof of work algorithm. If you appended each transaction to the chain individually, there would be a lot of reorganizations, unneeded network traffic and wasted energy, hence the "block" that clamps thousands of transactions together.
probably inflation is still high compared to some benchmark used by fed.
Epic sold it to Songtradr.
These 30 year terms and favorable terms like no prepayment penalty or balloon payments are a result of government regulations and subsidies that were created after the Great Depression in the 1930s and were designed to 1.) prevent people from losing homes when interest rates increase, 2.) encourage homeownership by making mortgages easier and more rational for buyers.

There are other government regulations and subsidies that encourages and compensates lenders for participating in this market. The government gives access to low interest loans through the federal reserve banking system, created private entities (such as Freddie Mae) that purchase conforming mortgage back securities and requires buyers to pay for loan default insurance until they have a specific amount of equity in the home (which compensates the lender in the event of a foreclosure).

These policies and subsidies are the only reason this market exists and is able to be so highly beneficial for buyers and allow for such a long-term risk taking.

> a blackout in March, affecting 27 million people, was enforced in Punjab state during efforts to catch fugitives.

Has an AAP government.

> In February, the internet was blocked in 11 cities in Rajasthan state to prevent cheating during exams.

Has a Congress government.

> While local governments ruled by opposition parties in India also frequently block the internet, the Manipur example highlights a wider pattern in an India governed over the past decade by Modi’s BJP.

Why don't you provide a statistical, party-wise breakdown so that people can know? Right now, the article seems to be all about "Modi’s BJP."

The answer to my question is: the "article" is part of a series where the Hindu nationalist is portrayed as the villain who is involved in communal violence; all other communities are, obviously, peaceful; violence is always initiated by one side.

> a shutdown was imposed in Haryana state, ostensibly to control riots

Everyone in India knows what happened in Nuh. There are pictures and video on social media.

> The unrest in Manipur began on April 27. Kuki activists called for a general strike against the land policies of the state’s chief minister that day, and the demonstration turned violent.

> Tensions had been brewing for months between the Kukis, a Christian hill tribe, and Meiteis, the politically and economically dominant valley dwellers who mostly practice Hinduism. Kukis have long accused Meiteis of coveting land in the hills reserved under the Indian constitution for tribal peoples, and those fears sharpened this spring when the state’s top court backed a Meitei demand that it also be granted official tribal status.

So, the moment a court decided that the Meitei demand should be considered, thus giving them a share of the reservation/affirmative action pie, violence erupted?

> Tensions had been brewing for months between the Kukis, a Christian hill tribe, and Meiteis, the politically and economically dominant valley dwellers who mostly practice Hinduism.

The article has so much Christian imagery. Could they not find a single temple that they could photograph? Or an affected Meitei who has photos of some Hindu gods on the walls of his house? After all, 1/3 of the people who have died are Meiteis.[1]

It's all of those things. Infectious disease increasingly seem to be behind or involved in most neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental, chronic fatigue, severe psychiatric disorders.

Herpesviral reactivation specifically seems to be involved in everything a little, but my hunch is that this is often secondary to other immune system burden.
No, in France for instance it's because we were done building the first series (it doesn't make sense to build more reactors than what we've built in the 75-2000 era).

In many other countries in Europe it was because of the strong public backlash against nuclear after Chernobyl , and because of the oil glut in the 80s which made fossil fuel affordable again for decades.
Seeing the headline, and remembering that 50% of employees were laid off, my first thought was: "what're the odds?"

I assume I'd have to use NCR or something to calculate that. I know the upper (rarest) bound is 1/2^40, but it's likely much more likely, and not random.
