> 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++.

Subtly different - by "a line in the sand" I meant that anything past this line is New C++ and anything behind the line is Old C++. Your compiler for New C++ wouldn't compile anything that is Old C++, and the Old C++ compiler wouldn't compiler much of New C++.

Two different languages that both have Current C++ as an ancestor.

> 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 making it a set of errors in the Current C++, yes, it's a bad proposal and not what I proposed. Under my proposal, it's not like your Old C++ compiler will suddenly stop existing, or stop being supported, would it? You'll effectively have decades before this is the case.

> 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.

Yeah. You list either New C++ or Old C++ (or both, if you can).

Like many others, I gave up on C++ a long time ago and stick with C for those projects that I both 1) do solo, AND, 2) need the low-level access and performance.

This is REALLY cool! I love WebAudio. Things that can be achieved with it, plus new speech recognition tech, plus other AI stuff, I think are going to be truly incredible!

Audio processing and synthesis is one of those things where you can do high quality in real time on mobile devices, and achieve delicious fast feedback loops. Creating new interactive modes of creativity! It's less possible with video because of the complexity and added cost. Right now anyway.

So exciting! I know the synth may look simple, but it's my feeling that it's really well made.

Regarding commenters mentioning click artefacts...that's troubling! I personally did not encounter it here, but I find, quite strangely I think, that: click artefacts are almost a "Random" bug. They show up sometimes, but not other times, even if everything else is seemingly the same.

That's been my experience. Maybe it's an "artefact" (pun intended) of dealing so closely with hardware. I don't know! Any experts want to weigh in on a way to avoid click crunches in WebAudio?? :)

Our brain means we adapt faster than any other species so we are not as dependend on evolutionary self-selection as other species, its the major reason we "won" the evolutionary race (e.g. same reason we would be the only species to survive a meteorite collision against earth -even if not for long- without any evolutionary progress to increase our adaptability to space)

I took the author's claim of 100% electrolytic efficiency at face value and contrasted with typical water electrolysis efficiencies, followed by a Haber-Bosch step.

This method of direct electroreduction should not confused with the Laser-induced method discussed elsewhere in the thread, which has abysmal numbers.
> There are many phenotypes in the living world which have evolved but for which there is no reason to believe that the phenotype is either (a) supremely efficient and/or (b) under selection pressure (the two are obviously related).

> Evolution has no tautology. Brains do not evolve to be supremely efficient, just like humans do not evolve to be supremely efficient.

> What exists today is that which has survived, for whatever reason. It's not even possible to say something as apparently simplistic as "the only purpose evolution respects is leaving behind more copies" because that ignores (a) group selection (b) changing ecosystems that favor plasticity in the long run.

A primary example of this are our legs, they would be much more efficient if the knees pointed backwards. They are not the most efficient design, but simply good enough.

Ok, your point is? The article is discussing dating and relationships not sexual partners. Your original post was commenting on relationships/marriage as well. How you concluded that this was revolving around sex is unclear.

Look, I’ll reiterate it one more time: For every person who is single, statistically there should be another single counterpart of the opposite sex. That some people choose to stay single rather than get into a bad relationship/marriage says a lot about what it’s like to be in one for one or both parties. It’s worth having some introspection on why this is happening, instead of making gross comparisons and assumptions.
I agree with the rest of it but banging some chick I’ve met on tinder is no different than chatting up someone at a bar or at a party. Honestly for this one thing the chase doesn’t do much for me, in this space it’s all about the end results.
Do you by any chance know whether there's something like a go library or converter/transpiler that allows you to reuse the structs from a backend on the client side?

> I think it's safe to assert body temperature is correlated with air temperature

Not at all. The whole point of warm-blooded organisms is to maintain a constant temperature, to a really good level of accuracy.

A change in body temperature is not needed for this sort of things to happen, though. A warmer environment is enough. See for example the headlines about flesh eating bacteria creeping north in the US.
You can "predict" your general disposition to respond to certain kinds of reasons given your values and so on. But you can't predict how arbitrary factors will weigh on your decision making in a given moment. E.g. you skipped breakfast and your blood sugar is low, so in this moment you happen to weigh satisfying hunger more than, say, the diet you're on. This doesn't make your decision not "up to you" just because minute factors can't all be accounted for prior to acting.

Whether there is any meaningful notion of free will here is another matter. IMO the term free will is a red-herring. We obviously make choices and those choices are attributable to us. The only relevant question is whether we have a sufficient kind of authorship over our choices such that we can/should be rendered accountable for their outcomes. But this is mostly tangential to the kinds of disputes people have about free will.

I had insurance partnered with my university. I went to the uni clinic due to a headache and fever so I could get some ibuprofen. They had no capacity to perform any tests and told me I needed to goto the hospital. They ordered an ambulance and said I needed to sign a waiver if I refused them. I had no idea what the impact would be to my insurance so I went along with it. At the hospital ER they hooked me up to IV immediately and then said I needed a spinal tap to check for meningitis because they couldn't explain the fever. I asked to leave, but nobody came to unhook me from the IV or bring my belongings back. They then guided me to another room after an hour or so with 5 people in it. I asked to leave immediately, and they said I could have a life threatening case and I needed to sign a waiver if I left. Apparently they were bringing another doctor from another hospital as emergency to do the test. This time I called my family for advice and signed the form but they were very pushy. The headache and fever were gone the next day. This experience has scarred me from going to U.S. healthcare to this day.

I don't use Gmail any more, but that's because there are viable alternatives for people with my technical abilities. Not everyone is a software dev. The tradeoffs for most people switching off Gmail aren't acceptable.

When the choices are "conform to what this company wants" or "don't have working email", that's not freedom of choice. Freedom requires real viable alternatives. Only in late-stage-capitalist hellholes like Hacker News is this sort of choice considered freedom.

I literally read someone on HN recently saying that if people didn't want to pay tens of thousands yearly for insulin they were welcome to not, i.e. the choices are pay a pharma company or die. That's a much more extreme example, but it's pretty typical of HN these days.
That article is moot if you rent a Tesla. I've done a 2000 km (1200 mi) roadtrip with a rented Tesla, and never actually charged at any hotel. You just navigate to your destination, and every now and then, the navigation tells you to stop at a supercharger.

However, the point of the article may still stand if you do not drive a Tesla.

> Bullshit. C++ may have plenty of warts, and sometimes people go way OTT with templates (90% of Boost), but there's no way you're writing code as fast in C as C++ unless it involves no string manipulation, pointers, containers, etc.

For many of those things, maybe he already has existing libraries (strings, containers) that have been tested in the field?

Sure, it won't make him faster than in C++, but his speedup could come from needing to allocate less cognition to the language and more to the problem he is solving.

Even expert C++ programmers, who have been doing it for decades, still need to lookup language stuff for C++ in the odd corners. Someone who hasn't been focusing on C++ in depth, but has instead been focusing on the problems over their career might be faster in C than in C++.

It's a trade-off (isn't everything?): lookup everything in the language as you develop vs lookup nothing, or already know a lot and develop faster vs know very little and develop slower.

I ordered the smallest ICE possible at Boston Logan a couple of weeks ago from Hertz. There wasn't anything but electrics (in this case, a Volt) so I took it because I was eager to go visit my uncle in CT.

Huge mistake. Like my last electric rental, in Northern California, over half the chargers I tried to charge at were out of order for some reason. All the charging station apps suck, and there's like one super charging station on I-95 in between CT and Boston. The drive back took three hours because I was super careful to keep the charge in green. Just as I entered the Boston tunnel, the car went into "limited propulsion mode."

Next time, I'm just going to uber everywhere and cancel long drive plans if I have to get an electric.

>Stigma as "Skin"

used Germany as an example, but it's the dead obvious solution. If you screwed up, of course you should be less trusted in future endeavors. Especially if you were doing illegal stuff.

>Money as “Skin”

the more ideological solution that's more of a daydream than any real system.

- CEO pays part of their net worth to the company and should earn it back via success
- Salary is capped at X times the lowest paid employee
- no Golden Parachute if you burn the company to the ground.

>Better than that is fierce accountability. From who? Everyone you can think of. In particular, accountability that they do their jobs right, make the right choices, charge fair prices, treat employees well, treat society and the earth well, etc.

honestly, getting the mass public to care about these factors feels more ideological than the "Money as skin" solution. Government regulations are about as close as we get. we're still a ways off from that, though.

This applies to large single monitors too. I think (hope?!) most people have a setup where their main work is right in front of them.

No I'm saying they are more distracting, so reduce the relevance of old articles claiming a single monitor reduced those.

I don't support Hamas. They're terrorists as well. But there is no good/bad side here. Don't use one side being bad to excuse the atrocities done by the other side. It's sickening how you and others excuse the killings of thousand of innocent children just because those bombs might also kill a few from Hamas.

All you wrote about war crimes is exactly what Isreal does as well. If you can't see that, you should think hard about what propaganda you're listening to.

But maybe it's a coping mechanism? Because acknowledging the truth about the amount of innocents being killed would be unpleasant?
Here's a thought to add to the discussion. What are the consequences to the person or persons who hired the disastrous CEO? What if the CEO's severance benefits were paid out of the combined compensation of the people who gave that CEO those benefits? What skin do they have in the game?

There is some idea that nobody getting paid $200,000/year could possibly be qualified to run a $billion company. There are plenty of people making less than that who think they are qualified. But they've never done it. To reach the top you have to work through multiple levels of management. Each of those levels comes with a pay bump. So you make $80K, then $120K, then $180K, then $300K before you can even be considered for the $800K job. This leads to the obvious miscalculation that anybody who has made $800K in the past is a qualified exec. Even assuming that a person was a competent manager at the $180K level or the $400K level, you still have to recognize how often the Peter Principle holds true.

One of my college professors said his mother described the day the American's showed up at the end of WWII. The German soldiers cleared out and word spread that the Americans were coming up the road. There was a sense of hopeless fear and dread. And she eventually could hear them marching down the street and unable to help herself she peeked through the curtains and saw the most sad sack disheveled soldiers walking in the rain. Fear was replaced by disbelief and then anger at having had to go through all that.

>I hope the way we design software changes as the population ages.

I'd be happy if we could just figure out how to make software reliable and performant again. Most of it is a horror-show, and only looks any good at all because computers are so fast and many of the underlying tools and infrastructure parts have gotten really good (i.e., server hardware is ridiculously fast, the Linux OS running on most servers is supremely reliable for such a complex system that needs to support a myriad array of hardware from different vendors, but the CRUD software written to run on top of this stack is hacked-together garbage.)

> This is actually why I feel that mathematical texts tend to be not rigorous enough, rather than too rigorous.

This is _precisely_ the opinion of Roger Godement, French mathematician and member of the Bourbaky group.

I would highly recommend his books on Algebra. They are absolutely uncompromising on precision and correctness, while also being intuitive and laying down all the logical foundations of their rigor.

Overall, I cannot recommend enough the books of the Bourbaky group (esp. Dieudonne & Godement). They are a work of art in the same sense that TAOCP is for computer science.

Sure, but the likelyhood is that you'll have candidates that have a few senior positions and been CEO once or twice before. In that case one that's failed building a new company/product is no worse than someone that has been the CEO of an established company for a few years and it hasn't gone bust.

EDIT: I didn't mean to say that a failed CEO was better than a successful one - just that being a failed CEO won't bar you from being employed again, for good reason.

Rust solves some problems of C++ (memory safety for common-cases of code) while introducing new problems (less expressive safe code and harder-to-write unsafe code, expanded UB when trying to expose &mut to safe code from raw pointers, or RefCell runtime panics).
This largely depends on how one defines pi. I believe that the concept of R^n (Euclidean space) exists even in entirely different physical spaces. This is because Euclidean space represents a universally recognized idea of simple space in terms of curvature. For instance, in any world, the concept of '0' represents simplicity. In this context, pi will always remain constant.
