Exceptions are not non-deterministic, although the control flow can be a bit non obvious of course.

I think if you disallow exceptions you run into other problems. How can a constructor fail now? You need to have some kind of flag showing if an object is fully constructed. But then that goes against the idea to "make illegal states unrepresentable".

I do wish C++ had more tools to reign in exceptions. Maybe an "onlythrows X" annotation that says only these very specific exceptions may escape from a block, and the checker will complain if it cannot prove that only X can be thrown. The opposite of checked exceptions basically.
I doubt it will stay this way for long, considering Wilders will be in power soon…
It is fun to watch and keep track of - And keeping in mind it's also been an insane amount of work by an insane number of people with an insane amount of budget thrown at the problems. You can do quite a bit in software "as a hobby" - and this field is not it.
You’re heavily overstating the effects of weather on Dutch society and heavily understating the frequency and nature of weather events in Texas.

In The Netherlands the worst you’ll typically see is some delays with trains, perhaps a couple of trains (of the many per hour) being cancelled.

In my 30+ years in the Netherlands I’ve never experienced a brownout, much less a blackout. Hell I haven’t even experienced a modest outage. Only once have I heard of a blackout, and that was when a helicopter flew into power lines.

And that’s not even touching on how ridiculous it is that you’re trying to equate being able to stay warm and alive at home with being able to travel, while at the same time trying to blame people for not being prepared for something you claim is rare.

This is exactly the problem. If you do your job as a PM, you get pushed out because doing your job means you'll be ruffling feathers in senior management. So to stick around, you schmooze instead of doing your job because doing your job properly invariably pisses off management at some point
> Given the UN’s history towards Israel, why would it ever take anything to the UNSC or believe that its arbitrations and judgments are anything but massively biased against it?

I don't really understand that line of reasoning, doesn't Israel owe its existence to the UN security council resolution in 1948?
Man. Lots of defeatism so far. I understand the points being made, though.

Becoming a go-to person is necessary but not sufficient to advance. If all you are is a reliable Swiss army knife for the company, you will indeed be stuck with the salary and station of a reliable Swiss army knife.

The tricky part is to be able to decouple the "knowing" and the "doing." If you know how to do all the work, and you also actually do it, yes, you become the infinite sink for all of those things.

If you can, instead, be a sink of knowledge and wisdom, e.g. "here's how I'd approach the problem", "maybe you should connect with Joe in...", "hasn't this problem already been solved with...", that starts to look more like L6+ behavior.

It's the hardest pill to swallow for builders, though - that you can never be good enough at pure building to justify promotion beyond senior level. It's like professional sports. If you're a greater shooter but you can't get other people involved, there's a hard cap on how far your team can go and how far your career will go.

Unfortunately many people listen to terrible advice and get exploited by companies before learning the lesson the hard way.

I'd be more inclined to believe your advice if your other comments on this topic was... realistic or actionable I guess? Caution = cynicism, and companies are either "good" (reward hard work) or "shitty" (??? not good?).
You can’t identify the review bombers. These are 3rd parties hiring the reviewers to leave reviews. That hiring process takes place offline (from the perspective of your site), so you have no way to monitor and detect these directly.

As for the individual reviewers, there are tens of thousands or millions of these, and review bombers can trivially cycle these in and out, so no individual reviewer is a “serial fake reviewer.”
Yes this is accurate. We believe the gospel of Jesus Christ as he taught it has been unambiguously restored along with the authority from God to perform baptisms and other ordinances. People through out time often (but not always) didn't have access to baptism so we perform them in their place. It's up to them (the "dead") to decide if they want to accept it. But we also do genealogy to learn about our ancestors. It helps you see how connected everyone is.

In case of fusion I don't think it's a money problem. ITER has funding from a lot of countries and even they have a hard time with it. It could be that fusion is almost impossible with the current state of technology that we have now.

> And how would those ar-15 bros would fare against an organized, professional army, with training, logistics, and coordination, not to mention air support, tanks, and the state on its side?

Depends on the terms of engagement and the makeup of the professional army.

Are ar-15 bros going to effectively take and hold territory? Maybe on a temporary basis, there's a lot of potential objectives that are regularly barely defended. But it's pretty easy to roll out the national guard or whoever to flush people out if desired.

Can ar-15 bros be a significant problem for occupying forces? Almost certainly yes.

If you wanted or needed to remove this group or their weapons from a territory, it's going to be a major challenge, and highly disruptive to the other occupants, and that's going to inspire more people to take up arms. This is insurgency 101.

I conformed to MISRA C:2012 for an open source project and what's unfortunate is the lack of open source static analyzers for verifying MISRA compliance. Aside from Cppcheck [1] all other analyzers I found are commercial/proprietary. It's surprising because Clang should make writing an analyzer easier than ever.

My mom grew up in Appalachia, in the same time as Johnny Cash, dirt farmers in a "holler". No indoor electric, plumbing, or phone. Wood stove cooking and heat. A spring house for water. Baths every Saturday night. Their livelihood was completely dependant on growing food and lumber. I find it unimaginable. Technically I know how it worked, but it's completely alien. In one generation.
So annoying! I use a thing to disable edge, but I also had to turn off some scheduled tasks to update it and spam open tabs.

Yes it requires training for each individual. In addition, they tested using a trained model from one person to try to decode a different person and the results were no better than chance.

They also said that the person must cooperate for the decoding to work, meaning the person could reduce the decoding accuracy by thinking of specific things (e.g. counting).

CORRECTION: The paper I read was not the correct paper, ignore this comment. The actual paper states that the model is transferrable across subjects.

I feel like we're getting into "the raindrop doesn't feel responsible for the flood" territory here, and I like your second interpretation better.

It's absolutely the choice society has made, but society is the individuals that make it up. The idea of the group is a semi-useful abstraction we use because our brains have trouble conceptualizing numbers over ~17.

The style of algorithmic feed was created and popularized by individuals about a decade or two ago. A lot of the users of this site (including me) were pioneers in that area, either creating these things, or being the first users to turn our lives over to the feed.

But, if you want to create long-lasting societal change (either good or bad), that's how you have to do it. One individual, or a group of individuals start something. A few individuals (usually weirdos) join up. And at a certain point, the increasing number of people give other more mainstream people some sort of social permission to make the same choice.

At some point, it becomes socially acceptable enough to become the default and people who don't have the time or energy to put a lot of thought/research into things start doing it without really thinking (this is generally where I consider the bounds of true mainstream).
At least they are already discussing the next version.
That's the thing, you're not discussing your job responsibilities but higher level things. And not with your technical manager, but at least the person above them.

It's hard not to be cynical when the risk and time investment is on our side while the profits are on their side.

You want us to "work hard" for the chance of getting a raise or a promotion? We're working, not playing the lottery. If we wanted these risks, we'd start a company. How about these managers write down these rewards in the employment contract instead?
It is an easy decision - if the core of your business is tech, then you have to have that expertise on board from day 1.

If tech is just a tool, one of many to support your core business - then no, you don’t require a high expertise in the core team.

All no code startsup success stories I heard are good examples of businesses without core technical advantage. Many of them are basically spreadsheets with some bells and whistles.

As a selfish user, I see taking full advantage of all the features of the kernel as a good thing.

OCI container support is one of the things that keeps me so firmly planted in the Linux ecosystem.

Outside the kernel, calling into non-portable extensions should only be done with good reason. One of my favourite things about Chimera is its rejection of most of the GNU specific ecosystem.

Actually, I do not like GNU specific stuff in the kernel either. It should be possible to compile the kernel with multiple compilers.

Ironically, with the addition of Rust in the kernel, most distributions will have to use both LLVM and GCC to create a kernel whereas Chimera can use LLVM for both. Hopefully by the time important Rust code starts to ship in Linux, GCC will have a proper Rust front-end.

I am all for one “most popular” Linux distro that new users can be directed to and that commercial interests can support. Linux ubiquity is being held back by “fragmentation” in that way. That said, I want the ability for myself to choose other ways of doing things ( knowing the convenience I am giving up to do so ). I want focussed projects to be able to innovate. Even if we have a “most popular” option, I do not want a mono-culture.

You can have an all systemd system. It can be the norm. Please do not take away my ability to do something else. At least, do not do it without a good reason.
Trade unions and Employment unions are very different.

That said, i suspect the parent story was from years ago, most likely late 90's or early 00's when that type of thing was common

Today most unions are very very very hard up to find anyone willing to work everyone that wants a job, and can actually follow instructions, and show up on time (harder than it sounds it seems) gets a job right now...
Reminds me of Mats Järlström who challenged traffic light timing. "The [Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying] fined Mats $500 and said that he could not talk about traffic lights in public until he obtained a state-issued professional-engineer license."

I doubt it would cost a lot of money from Amazons perspective.

But yeah I agree Amazons incentives are not the same as their customers. They obviously have a lot of insight into what drives and lowers sales.

Maybe, although I seriously doubt it, at some point they will see enough reduction in sales to take action against poor quality products and their mispresentative reviews.

That’s not really a big deal in this context. Getting over the 2011 change was a big jump, and basically makes modern c++ usable for many more projects.

Lots of toolchains are pretty conservative also, 2017 is pretty new there. And much like the ISO standard, updates should be a lot easier now.
I think the common method is to release sterile male mosquitos, that are sterilized using radiation. In this method they are sterilized using a genetic modification (probably in their mothers?).

Since the released mosquitoes are sterile, it's difficult to think what can go wrong.

(Assuming my guess is correct) Perhaps the mothers producing sterile mosquitoes can escape, but they will get only a 50% of offspring, so they will get extint soon in the wild.
I have passed on the request to one of the scientists.
Either way, that is some incredibly naive logic. The so-called open source software "community" desperately needs some lessons on how capitalism works.

0.5% efficient, but they're old lasers. Equivalent modern ones are over 20% efficient.

Also, with their first Q>1 shot they increased the laser power 8% and got 230% more output. They think the nonlinear scaling will continue for a while. If they're right, then they're not actually that far from overall net power, if you correct for the obsolete laser tech.
I think people generally, and the Silicon Valley set in particular, have a hard time abstracting from “would I like” to “would the world be a better place if”.

Would I like to live a thousand years? Yes, with the obvious caveats.

Would the world be a better place if the technology for living a thousand years existed? Absolutely not, at least not at first, and certainly not today. There’s a great many people around right now who’s primary redeeming quality is their impending mortality - it’s not just science that advances one funeral at a time.
Unions like government prioritize what ever the vocal, loudest, and most organized minority of the group wants prioritized, this will not align with all members, and rarely even aligns with what the majority of members desire

Great Blog Post!

Thinking from the "3rd party" perspective, how should they behave?
I often find myself
1. communicating the risks as transparently as possible
2. doing everything in our power to find solutions for things that have already gone wrong.

The more of the scope of services is handled by us as a 3rd party, the more emotional the discussions become when things go wrong in the end.

It certainly depends on the project. Depending on whether it is a one-off project or a project in which recurring value is generated. In the latter case, it is certainly easier to find solutions in this regard.
We could live for 20 years or 200 and it wouldn't matter - entities will emerge that will attempt to consolidate and abuse power. Those may be individual dictators, tyrannical governments, or global conglomerates. The answer is the same, and it doesn't involve hampering scientific progress.
I don’t understand why we can’t have this, and exemptions for public transit, or human transportation companies providing municipal services?

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. If a solution isn’t as elegant as possible, but significantly reduces the amount of SUVs on the roads, it’s a good thing - period.

Interesting. I would have guessed that Chantal is a 90% black name, but I was wrong. It is only slightly more common for black women, and there are many whites with the name too. This may be a regional distinction.
I can, from the other side of life.

I was raised in middle-class suburbia, in the North East U.S. My family wasn't wealthy, but wasn't hurting either. I did well in school, but didn't have to try very hard to maintain grades in Advanced Placement classes. Outside of school, I worked easy lawn-care gigs with my neighbor and we made decent cash with 20-30 hours of work per week.

It afforded me a life of coasting, leisure, and throwing away my downtime.

I am nearing 30 years old and just realizing that I'd consider my behavior to be bad habits I need to kick. I want to work harder, and I have to teach myself what that means.

The biggest problem to me is that they are profiting off the completely free labor of their volunteers. The billions of man-hours spent adding content is being used to make money for a bunch of execs that have questionable value. Chief Creative Officer for a site that hasn't changed in decades? Chief Advancement Officer? Could these not be volunteer positions as well and save millions of dollars a year?

It's the exact same thing as Reddit, where the moderators that create the look and feel of each subreddit get the "privilege" of moderating for free, while the engineers and execs of Reddit are going to become millionaires off the free work of the mods and commenters.

Even better, not only will they make money from ads, they will take the content from commenters and then monetize that to AI companies like OpenAI and Google. It's the gift that keeps on giving, and everyone is doing creating content on Reddit for free, and aren't seeing a cent of it.
