The problem with all ideas is always their reification. Computers may be deterministic, but humans aren't. The same software/idea produces wildly different understandings; and behaviour in differnt humans.

What always seem like great ideas in theory, innevitably has to cope with the (mis)understanding; (mis)interpretation; and (mis)application of said idea by the mass population.
That's effectively what the profiles proposal is: a set of compiler warnings that error if you use anything outside a limited subset of modern C++.

I don't think it's a very good proposal, personally. For one thing, it effectively amounts to a rewrite of nearly all existing code. For another, the error messages that can be emitted are terrible. Worse, it relies on the compiler to do a lot of heavy lifting that just isn't going to happen in the industries it's needed most for years. It's also opt-in rather than opt-out. Depending on the as-yet(?) unclarified constraints on UB, there may be yet more footguns for those unwise enough to attempt incremental rewrites. Also, because it's C++ there are already a bunch of visual warts like having to continue using gsl::span instead of std::span because of subtly different semantics.

Or you can use a memory safe language and get essentially the same/better guarantees without all the caveats. However, you have to list a different language on future job postings.
Twitch ads have no chill, not that others do either but...

They run at different volumes than streamers. They run over streamer's content. They run pre-roll ads so you can't "flip channels". If I accidentally reload the page or the Twitch video player crashes, pre-roll ad. The ads aren't related to the steamers and streamers don't get to tell Twitch to not play a certain ad during their stream. I can pay $10 a month for Twitch Turbo but that just promotes ad revenue over subbing.

I bought 4 six month subscriptions to some of my favorite streamers in September for about $80. My internet costs $69.99 so that's kind of a bargain.
Just to confirm: It does.

The domain is clever, it's "linus.writes.now" (or maybe "linus.blogs.now", in this context). "schreiben" / "schreibt" means writing.

> I suggest that these people express their criticism by not using the software in question.

As with most "love it or leave it" arguments, this is a transparent attempt to silence critics without actually bothering to engage with criticism, even if it's constructive.

Anything you put in front of a significant number of people will be criticized, and rightly so, because it's not perfect. Admitting things aren't perfect is the first step to making things better.

This argument is particularly disigenuous in the context of a discussion about YouTube, because YouTube is effectively a monopoly in a number of ways--it's effectively an argument that once a product reaches monopoly status, it can do whatever it wants and nobody can criticize.

Adults learn to accept, integrate, and throttle their intake of criticism. If you haven't, you have some growing up to do.
I love the Free42 app. The Plus42 app is also great, but the buttons are too small on my 5" phone screen.

JRPN15C and JRPN16C are also awesome, even more so in landscape mode.
Any competent hiring committee would see someone that's experienced failure as a good hire, any fool can manage a great product to a bit more success, but understanding why things fail and being able to make tough decisions is priceless.

This is why traders/bankers who have lost fortunes (even fraudulently) usually land on their feet.

For every CEO or professional manager who didn't have "skin in the game" and failed there a probably 100's of incompetent children who drive a family business into the ground and manager owned businesses working at subsistance levels.
It's not just about tying the success of the company to the success of the CEO.

It's about tying criminal responsibility to the CEO and the board. When the company commits a crime, the corporation doesn't go to jail. Instead the corporation pays a fine.

Thus in this sense the company barely loses anything and the CEO and board typically doesn't lose much.

I say fuck that. Throw the CEO or the board into jail. That will end some of the criminal negligence we see from corporations today. You do shit like this, you associate acts of evil, acts of crime with the names of board members and CEO's you will fix a lot of shit. A lot.
Just embed the ads in the video stream at upload time. I might be inclined to not fast forward if they're short enough and entertaining.

I will always use an ad blocker otherwise, because the main thing I'm protecting against is tracking. Similarly, I don't mind the old school static ads some blogs and websites still use but I will go out of my way to block all dynamic ads for the same reason (tracking).
It’s great if you received wisdom from his fiction books but if you actually think he has made any profits whatsoever from his trading advice you are going to wind up empty handed.

In stark contrast to Cities Skylines 2
I think you are not understanding the comment. Much of the issues right now are a byproduct of agriculture less with temperature. Most of it is the use of fertilizers that wash out and go down stream.

Humans are the factor, but the planet has been warming up for a long time. I guarantee this bacterial growth is more connected to fertilizers uses in crops nearby.
> Isn‘t there anybody close to the Feynman of Linear Algebra?

That would probably be Gilbert Strang.

While, as a maths person I would prefer a bit more rigour, his choice of topics and his teaching skill make his the most outstanding introductory course I have seen.

I would run a mile from any course that disrespects determinants. And that includes Axler's!

Also I wish more Linear Algebra courses would cover Generalized Inverses.
Why aren't any ESP32+eink calculators out there?
I agree with the court, but I do wonder where the line is drawn? Aren't all memories tangible (in a brain sense) in a sense and sharing ideas is tangible reproduction? Becuase the other person re-recreated them in their own brain. The brain being the "mechanical, electrical" device doing the recording.

I know its outlandish, just food for thought.
It is easier to talk about this in the context of dating apps. This phenomenon appears to touch some taboos, and I think that explains why these discussions never get anywhere. You can always find narratives that support what you want to believe, because social behavior is so complex. When we concentrate on the statistical analysis of differences of experiences men and women have in dating apps, it is easier to keep the talk about the actual phenomenon.
Where's your empathy for your users? Do you really not see the point of view of that review?
The gist of it is to question existing thoughts or reactions, which sounds good on paper because how else do you grow without introspection? However, it does little to solve real mental or emotional issues. I felt like I was talking through a workbook and not connecting to a real human.

It's led to reduced trust in psychology and psychiatry. Maybe in another hundred years we'll have a clue or two.
Polluting is the problem. But it isn't the marginal bump in temp because climate change makes temperature swings drastic which is not great for bacterial growth. And equatorial locations are not as susceptible to the temperature swings as more polar points of the planet. The problem is more likely related to the heavy unregulated use of fertilizers. Eh em, pollution.
As ssoneone who used to like C++ but has moved on to rust: There are good things in here, but I am not convinced they go far enough, even if completely implemented.

The good: I see a new Stroustrup. At the time of the NSA report, he seemed to be in denial about the position C++ was in, security wise. The 'just be carefull'- wont-scale slide seems a much better basis to start the discussion from.He seems to propose something similar to rust editions, allowing problematic parts of the language to be switched off, with an escape hatch similar to unsafe.

If this would work out, rewrite it in rust could no longer be needed. There is an upgrade path for C++, and an incentive to use it.

The bad: There seems to be still some denial in there. I see rust providing today what he calls a fantasy. In fact, it existed before C with languages like ADA, except the ecosystem just wasnt there. Second problem is the timeline. 3 years for a new language version, then 10 years for the ecosystem to upgrade, then another 10 years until everyone is convinced this new way of working should be better? It seems both an aggressive timeline and a promise it wont happen in my professional lifetime. Also, a path forward is not a commitment, e.g. to completely eradicate undefined behavior outside unsafe blocks.

All and all, and I hope I am wrong here, I read this as too little, too late. Rewriting it all from scratch is hard, but erasing the culture of the C++ ecosystem seems a lot harder.

Ha! Your username is hilarious. Have you seen those cat-cucumber videos? What is up with that?? Hahaha :)

Thanks for your comment; it's certainly thought-provoking. You're advocating for a more strategic look at the challenges open source projects face, which I appreciate. Also, I like your "Socratic"-style! :)

Firstly, you mention that framing this as a "money problem" pits us against bigger players with more resources. While that's a concern, the idea that you can't succeed if you don't already have money is fundamentally flawed. Every large business started small. In the realm of open source, financial challenges aren't unsolvable; they require a new transactional approach.

On the security aspect, yes, established authorities have a stronghold, but that's not unbreakable. Look at services like Let's Encrypt, which offers free SSL certificates at scale. They emerged as a disruptor, challenging the established norms in a market that was seemingly locked down.

And to your final point, about "the house always wins," I'd say this defeatist attitude is the real obstacle. The notion that we can't or shouldn't try to change the system is harmful. You say the house always wins, but who exactly are the "insiders" here? Are we just supposed to accept the status quo, or should we aim for innovation that could make the system more equitable?

So, back to you: what solutions do you see? Or at least, what approach do you think has a fighting chance? I'm genuinely curious to hear your perspective.
This isn't an everything is fine mongering statement.

Everything is not fine, but without clear cut research linking two completely different problems is not a scientific way of understanding why what happened. Fear mongering is what the original commenter is doing.

I am specifically talking just about OSS functionality in the Kong Ingress Controller. It can assign weights to service backends.

Gateway API is a broad community standard governed by SIG Network - fingers crossed for various other implementations (including mesh) working their way to GA implementation-wise - this will make the standard stronger and the community more vibrant.
So I'll preface this by saying that it's my belief climate change is real, that it's being accelerated this time by human behaviour etc.

However I would suggest that it is not an existential threat to humanity. It IS a threat to an enormous number of individuals (literally billions) but humans will continue to populate the earth long after the climate has changed.

Humans have proved to very adaptable, living sustainably in the deserts of the Sahara as well as the ice of Alaska. I don't think we'll see the decision of humanity here.

Life as we know it? Civilization? Sure I can see cataclysmic change there over the next 100 years. Then again life now is completely different to 100 years ago, so that's no surprise.
I wanted to see some of it with the maximum settings and found this video channel where they just walk around (no talking or fighting) without abrupt movements. The game looks fine, but the ground litter looks very flat when lit by the flashlight. The light also seems to illuminate through water to hit e.g. the bottom of a stream, which they show in the video a bit, but there's no reflection of the light off the water's surface in realtime. I also noticed the tree geometry regularly changing complexity at about 3-4 meters away in an abrupt way. After playing 2077 with the new ray reconstruction enabled, this is a great-looking game but not pushing the envelope for realism.

I absolutely agree about additional rigor and precision making math easier to learn. Only after you're familiar with the concepts can you be more lazy.

That's the approach taken by my favorite math book:

The employees here have their own free will and are free agents, unlike fingers and toes.

If an acquisition fell through, it shouldn't be surprising that employees who were dissatisfied with that outcome wouldn't jump ship.

I agree, we need to understand what is happening before making it an excuse for the problem.

Guarantee you the elephants dying are more in alignment of increased use of fertilizers.
It's actually quite common for people all over the world to be exposed to Word in English because they are using it in institutional contexts where the application is presented in its English-language version and, as mere users of a system administrated by the institution, they don’t have any ability to change it.
As someone who also likes RPN, I think for Texas Instruments TI-30XS MultiView is a good calculator. You can see the input at once, but I don't know any calculator with backlight, exept when you want something like HP Prime.
I think he just means it comes with all the functions of the calculator, that there's nothing the calculator can do that python can't
What are all those transistors doing?

I've heard the cache is the biggest part. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A17, the A17 has 72MB of cache. Cache is typically SRAM. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_random-access_memory, a single bit of SRAM typically uses 6 transistors, but it could be anywhere from 4 to 10. So that's between 2.3B and 5.7B transistors for the cache.

That leaves about 1B transistors for each of the 12 cores (6 CPU + 6 GPU). The instruction set is a few hundred instructions. Surely it doesn't take millions of transistors to implement each instruction. Other than the cache, which parts of the processor need millions of transistors?
Being positive is not a requirement of commenting on HN, but you should comment with something that is substantive, so yes I do think you shouldn't have commented at all. Tone policing is cringe.
So not particularly familiar with the concept of control groups?
> it is an unproven allegation

Unless I'm misunderstanding the article, it seems like several trials have been conducted over this with Masimo being the winner multiple times.

Doesn't sound all that "unproven", thus far anyway.
CTO of a division like that is a completely different job than an SDE II, so you bet he's going to get a leet code interview.
I think the point is that anything the calculator can do, Python can do (and more obviously). Perhaps with a bit more difficulty, at least in the Termux case.
Gold is both easy to work with and make finely detailed jewellery and is THE shiny metal - a gold broach, or anything gold would have shone out on your clothing far more than any other metal.

I’d like to hear your reasons for #2. Here’s mine:

CEO is largely a figurehead position. Boards know quite well that CEOs aren’t the clock maker toiling away at creating perfection. They have very talented senior staff, middle managers and individual contributors that actually make it happen.

However, boards know the market doesn’t give a flying shit about those people. Boards know that CEOs carry a certain political weight in their very presence, and so they have to make their comp packages as attractive as possible so they have the best chance at attracting the best CEOs, because if they do, they know the market will respond positively. If a good CEO sees Company X sending their poor performing leader packing without a golden parachute, there’s no way he’s going to go there. If the market sees the same thing, they’re going to think the same thing.

It’s all one big emperors new clothes bullshit show.
Give the person the space to be heard in their own time. Don’t try to force a conversation but be ready to listen when they’re ready to talk.
When I say listen, I really mean just listen. Sometimes when people are in bad headspaces, the stuff they talk about is uncomfortable for others to hear, but sometimes they just need to feel heard.

It’s common for people to want to offer solutions, and sometimes practical problems really do need practical solutions, and other times some problems just need to be heard.
I don't think they are correlated in warm blooded animals.
Anyway, 37 degrees is a day at the beach in San Diego or Miami.
It should hardly be fatal to most any mammal.
You can blame drought, which is what the article did, but air temperature is not directly correlated with body temperature unless you're referring to an animal that's already dead.
One of the many reasons we are doing a lot of ice age hole boring. Get a clear picture of the hot/cold and wet/dry periods. The problem is that it can only peer into that biom.

The planet has been hotter and there was still wildlife. I am not going to rule out climate change as a problem.

But I am probably going to point out increased commercial farming in Africa as a potential culprit. The use of fertilizers are an issue with algae and bacteria growth.
My usual perspective on life — it is absolutely fine for people to choose simple life as long as they set their expectations accordingly. Who am I to tell others to pick up a hobby or do something “complex”? Back when I was a kid, I’ve only seen a poverty and everyone was “simple”, and people still lived and laughed. Luckily those times are way past me, but as I grow up and meet more and more people in different countries and cultures, not everything is as simple as telling others “get a more interesting life so you can be happier”.

Apologies for the rant, I just don’t get it when others say “do X, not Y to be happy”, as if happiness is nothing but a subjective state of mind. Obviously I am not entertaining the obvious physical/psychological addictions and stuff on that level, but if someone chooses a trash reality TV over “life enriching books”, that’s not my place to give them advice.
Nice! I didn't know about this back when I used it
Isn't that the whole premise of the SV tech?

Give a dollar(unprofitable and unsustainable service) for a pennies by burning the money of the investors to capture a market then switch to high profit margin business practices and milk out the captured market thereafter.

Sure, it can be framed as spend money when developing a product then make profit of it when released but the winners are determined by keeping alive the developed product longer than everyone else ane when everyone else is gone, then monetise.

People who spent billions of dollars to run YouTube at loss for years were not philanthropists, they rightfully expect to make that money back and make much more on top of it.
The restrictions are only against using protectable trade secrets or patented technology. Protectable trade secrets don't include things that are generally known within an industry or that the prior employer didn't treat as a trade secret (e.g., didn't take steps to prevent from becoming generally known).
I still get headhunted for backend engineering jobs, and I haven't done that in 13 years. It's not even on my resume ... but I guess you can see it on Linkedin, so why not.
It would not be a problem if YouTube and other platforms would serve us ADs that are not annoying but they are sharing everything everywhere. I'm marketing guy by profession and I'm creating Ads, but I still use adBlockers.
How the right to repair might change technology
OK, but there's some evil truth here...

I'm not a "CTO of Anything" type. But I consider myself adept in what programming I do for a living. Leet code is truthfully somewhat beneath me, but yet I'm still scared applying for jobs that would have me need to solve leet code puzzles.

Why is that? I think it's because, yes admittedly, I'm probably rusty on all the low-level concepts that leet code exemplifies. And so I hesitate applying for that cool looking job at some edgy tech corp or flashy startup, both likely to the detriment of myself and their talent pool.

I could study and hone my leet code skilz, but to what end? There's basically zero times when I'd need to invent a novel new sorting algorithm or data structure. If I'm not borrowing or using concepts, libraries or algorithms from others, I'm likely going at it the wrong way, falling prey to NIH.

I'm concerned as a mid-career person the effect of leet code on job recruitment opportunities for us "older" folks. I can out program most any entry-to-mid level software engineer, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't beat me competing on some leet code algorithm.
Nothing wrong with including Calvin and Hobbes five Times.

> If your country isn't respecting the other civilians, then why would you expect another country to respect your civilians?

At a time when we have seen the Israel-Palestine conflict ratchet up to the worst levels of violence in decades, maybe we should be hesitant to accept this position. This kind of thinking on both sides there is part of how and why they are where they are.
Having taught both I get what you are saying, but the rigor required in programming is quite trivial compared to that in mathematics. Writing a well structured program is much more comparable to what is involved in careful mathematical writing. It's precisely the internal semantic coherence and consistency, rather than syntactic correctness, that is hardest.
I think you would struggle to find examples of CEOs seeing negative consequences from poor performance that wasn’t outright fraud.
The solution is simple: do not try to limit money laundering at any cost. Monitoring all financial transactions is unacceptable.
