The issue is that everyone has their own hopes and dreams for what modules in C++ should and could be, and what ended up being standardized is an unbelievably complicated and overengineered mess. A small number of people worked on standardizing modules, and the proposal is so complicated and obscure I really doubt if most of the people who voted to approve it actually understood what it is they were even voting on.

In the future, things should not get standardized without an actual working implementation of the feature that people can actually use. Even better would be to have multiple similar non-standard features that each compiler can implement, and then the standardization can serve as way for them to converge.

Stremio works with plugins. There's certain plugins that are able to fetch contents directly from torrent downloads, so the typical warnings about torrenting apply there (not to receive an undesired letter on the mailbox).

However, that same plugin is able to use some paid for services that download the torrents for you, which is safe(r).

IMO if subtitles aren't needed, it does pass the wife test once it's all configured. Subs wouldn't pass it though; it's common having to fiddle with sync settings to fix them. Chromecast casting definitely doesn't pass the test either: it is finicky, it resets the connection completely for each change (like seeking or changing subs), and it very frequently ends up erroring out with issues.

Monad Labs | NYC Preferred & Remote

Monad Labs raised $225M last month in series A funding to scale our team in bringing the Monad blockchain to production this year.

Founded by Jump Trading alums, Monad Labs is a 30-person tech startup using low-latency programming, compiler optimization, and multithreaded computing to build an ultra-high-performance smart contract platform. The work entails building an optimal stack-based VM that supports multithreaded computation, as well as developing and implementing an efficient Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) algorithm enabling a network of nodes to come to consensus.

We are hiring for the following roles, blockchain experience not required:

System engineering backgrounds, especially in Rust, C++, C and/or Golang:

1. https://boards.greenhouse.io/monad/jobs/4355634005?gh_src=e3...

2. https://boards.greenhouse.io/monad/jobs/4373013005?gh_src=49...

Desire or ability?

Currently if I desire to make the "new mail" button always available, some technical individual would have to devote hours of their time to figuring out the required changes.

Replace a technical individual with an LLM and the story becomes completely different. People love complaining! If that's all that's required to make changes then I bet we'd see a lot more of it.

For the last 14 years, I have worked in software engineering. I have worked in a startup, in FAANG, both inside and outside of the US, in co-located teams, and in fully distributed teams. I am adaptable and effective in different work environments.

My approach to work centers on taking ownership of projects and collaborating productively with others. I like to understand the big picture and I'm not afraid to question the way things are done. While I have a lot of experience in building and integrating payment systems, I'm also open to exploring other domains. I am looking for a senior engineer position in a solid team that has a getting-things-done mindset and good WLB.
I'm not arguing against that.

I'm just saying unfalsifiability is a bitch, and it's hard to find hard evidence on geologic timescales.
Part of it is likely to be how the US government will react. If Google is seen as anti-China that is fine, if they are seen as anti-Israel they might lose important contracts.
Unmetered water service is (or was) common in, of all places, California's Central Valley, including the cities of Sacramento, Bakersfield, Modesto, Merced, and Lodi, legacy of the state's rather arcane (and highly nonscientific and environmentally hostile) Spanish-based water rights laws. Unsurprisingly, when meters were installed, even where billing wasn't based on usage, massive wastage through broken infrastructure was rapidly discovered, an interesting example of "what isn't measured cannot be managed".

See: <https://www.kqed.org/science/15191/california-communities-th...> and <https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article201568164.html>

BYD have about 30 models, is the thing. Tesla have gone with a rather unusual product strategy for a car maker; four models, of which two have negligible sales. Realistically, any large manufacturer who went down this road could take that crown away from them, though it probably would not be a good idea for that manufacturer to do that.
I've seen drinking fountains in the desert; it may be more that they just don't have a ready supply of them in Morocco, but sinks abound.

Often the fountain will just drain into the dirt nearby, which means it is often the only green area when it's a desert fountain.
A lot of people simply can't work from home due to lack of space, noise and interruptions, etc.

It's a lot easier to buy a cheap used car than uproot your entire living situation to a new home where you can WFH, which you also might not be able to afford.

Not to mention you probably already own your car for other things like getting groceries.

Maybe the fact that 1: "color scheme options" is a carefully worded misrepresentation, and 2: I never said I had any problem with color scheme options, or even those particular color scheme options. You fabricated that, and that act is sinister.

Do you have any other totally innocent and sincere questions I can clear up for you?
There was some business use.

VBA was used for tons of enterprise applications in the late '90s and early oughts. The implementation in things like Excel was surprisingly powerful and they had to sort of dial it back because they realized it was a huge security risk. (You could open up a spreadsheet that was a powerful virus.)

In the '90s when we were developing a 3D game (in C++) I made an early iteration of the level designer in VBA on Excel. You would color cells in a spreadsheet and then hit a button, and the button would output a text file that told the game engine what mesh or object to put where. Terrible way to do it, but a great way to work fast in those primitive days.
thanks! I'm curious about the feature set as well

everything I found for my contracting was way too expensive for what it did. hope someone can tackle payroll next!

Don't work for the Empire.
Estimated completion by 3892 is cute, but not surprising really given that only 1/4 compilers and 1/3 stdlibs support these completely. Presumably most projects aren't going to try to migrate until it's more generally available (I haven't looked at them in years, not sure if it's easy or possible to support it for one toolchain but not another).
They may act like humans do when we dream, and their brain activity while they sleep looks similar to ours when we dream. But neither of these facts allows us to conclude that they're actually dreaming.

The verbal reports are key to our shared understanding that most humans experience dreams when sleeping. We do not have this for dogs or any other species.
Correct, I won't defend all of that, some of these messages were irritatingly vague, and it doesn't tell you how to find the log.

Though in fairness, I believe though the most common cause for an error in that path would be a problem with the installation media, and probably more likely to be checksum errors on an optical drive, or perhaps corruption on the machine capturing the WIM file, or even a bad drive on the target machine -- all of these are much more likely that than someone stuffing a Linux image onto installation media.. So I could see a message geared towards that.

When I was responsible for the WIM code, I got pinged with a lot of noise from people all over Microsoft installing Windows onto bad disks. They usually thought they hit setup bugs.

Show HN: Bye-bye spaghetti channels A Slack app encouranging thread use
I was on Slack one day and there were multiple time-critical issues ongoing within a channel. It became difficult to keep track of who said what and in response to whom. In the aftermath, it was decided that threads should be the sole method of organization. In the weeks following it was clear that best intentions don't change habits overnight, so I hopped on Slack's app directory and searched for a solution. Existing solutions were priced weirdly or were too expensive for what was needed, therefore I built my own!

I would be interested to hear if this has been an issue for others and if something like this would be useful. The idea with this application was that people only need a light reminder or guide for their habits to change and Slack already does all the heavy lifting as an amazing messaging tool.
> Was much commercial software written in BASIC? No, very little.

There was a huge amount of commercial software written in BASIC dialects such as classic Visual Basic and ASP, Pick/BASIC, HP Business Basic, Wang 2200 Basic, DEC BASIC-PLUS, etc. Boring business software you would likely have never heard of but which was (and in some cases still is) essential to running all kinds of different businesses.

I used to work for a university and both the student administration system and the accounting system were off-the-shelf software, mostly written in VB6 and classic ASP (I believe the vendor also had some COM components written in C++, they had their own app framework, but the business logic was all VB6). At the time, we were waiting for the vendor to finish porting it to VB.NET. 20 years later, it probably still is in VB.NET.

Would love this in Unreal, but one can dream.
How much of that is the result of the individuals on the team themselves and how much is that the result of the organizational pressures, constraints, and expectations they're working under?

I suspect that just replacing the individual people would result in more or less the same unhealthy culture unless you also took steps to change the rest of the organizational context.
Ah yes, I went Flock-spotting through the Atlanta suburbs. HOAs are encouraged to buy them. As long as you've got the $2500-per-camera-per-year ($208/mo) for their all-inclusive package, you too can adopt your own little invasion of privacy by the roadside.

Which also means... I know I'd really be pissed if I was stuck helping foot the bill for an entire gander of them when the HOA dues come in...

Show HN: My first NPM library – KV-to-JSON – turn key-values into nested JSON
Recently I had a need to manipulate data that was only represented as key-value pairs. I needed to use this to convey nested, structured information and it was kind of a drag to work with in NodeJS as-is. So I cobbled together something to turn key-value pairs into structured JSON, treating delimiter-separated tokens in the keys as JSON fields.

Since I couldn't find anything in the Node ecosystem that already did this, I cleaned it up a little, expanded it to support arrays and arbitrary delimiters instead of just periods, then published it to NPM.

Hopefully this will prove useful to someone else in the future. If not, well I'm open to criticism and feedback.
Apparently, I did not.
Sure could. There's a reason the Constitutional protection is against "unreasonable" search and seizure (with the definition of what that word means left up to the courts).

If, some day, most people decide it's worth it to track every individual, the law will bend to allow it.

Structured programming was not easy.

You didn't have functions, you had GOSUB to a line number, which was just a slightly glorified GOTO. There was one global scope.

Wernher von Braun himself also wrote probably the first serious treatise on human missions to mars as well as a science fiction novel on the topic in 1948. Apparently the original German novel remains unpublished, but there is an English translation available. It’s set in 1980.

You can still find places where you can buy stuff "tare" with your own container, but you might have to explain to the clerk what you're wanting to do.

(Basically if using your own container, you put it on the scale, hit "tare" which zeros the scale with the container and then you fill it up. Most bulk sales are via standard plastic containers the store has which are already in the machine's database.)

As always I first read the comments and then look at the post. I was really intrigued what could this number mean.

I did not expect it to be the expected year of completion.
So you see the big orange "this article has multiple issues" message and your mind goes straight to "this is censorship?"

History (at least on Wikipedia) needs to be properly cited.
Yep, BASIC bootstrapped my programming interest even as late as the late 2000s. School library was ancient, the only programming books were on BASIC and internet access was limited. So I got started trying to use those to learn this: https://justbasic.com/ (surprisingly, updated even up till 2018, and the paid version updated just a few months ago).

As a clueless, overly ambitious 12 year old I was a massive annoyance for the skilled users on their forums, I remember getting ranted at for wasting people's time with stupid questions, writing awful code, not understanding licenses etc, but it was a pretty good entry point until I managed to get my hands on books for more modern languages.
What is being searched and/or seized? The entire point of a license plate is that it's publicly readable, and US federal courts have consistently held that the exteriors of cars (and parts visible through windows) are not considered private spaces for the purposes of warrant requirements.

That isn't to say that you can't make a good civic argument against increased public surveillance; only that the current practices are not meaningfully disputed as unconstitutional.
This has been mostly a WW1 war, the West thinking that the next big war would bec a technologically-advanced one where they’d be able to have the edge thanks to its better tech is a big factor behind the current clusterfuck represented by the West’s involvement in Ukraine. The Ukrainians would have been way better off had the West been capable to send millions of artillery shells their way instead of more advanced HIMARSes and what have you.
One thing I would say about Opus over ChatGPT is that it can return code without placeholders whereas ChatGPT will always have placeholders. It wasn't always that way though and it seems like cutting corners.
>I’m 27 and single. There lies the biggest advantage of a takehome assessment for me: I get to spend more time on it than someone with a wife and two kids.

I noticed the same thing. It seems take homes are mainly geared towards pre-selecting young single people with a lot of free time to code on the side besides their main job and other responsibilities, or who have no other responsibilities.

Now I'm also single and I have the time to invest in them, but I question the future of my career in tech, how will I be able to compete for new jobs later when I won't be, and take homes will be normalized? I don't remember my friends in other careers ever having to do unpaid work before getting a job. Perhaps I chose the wrong career.

What sucks even more is when you sink many hours in them and then just get ghosted, not even a rejection message, nada. I've already been burned twice by this. Or when the recruiter just spams you the take home link without first having a talk with you about the job details, the compensation range, if you're a good fit, etc. It's "first you solve this take home for us, then we can have a talk". Feels incredibly cold and inhumane.

There's no philosophical dilemma here. Each participant in the conflict is using the tools at their disposal to get what they want.

The protestors want change from the company. So they protest. The company wants to shut them up. So they fire everyone.

The protestors still want change, now plus compensation. So they sue. Not suing makes no sense, as it concedes defeat and gets them no closer to their goals.
