The thing is: C++ ain't a language. It's two, if not three languages mashed together. You start with the C preprocessor, then you have the template language and only then you find classes, objects, pointers, etc.

That's like learning Rust but having to learn POSIX sh, and some badly documented Haskell dialect on top of it just to get going.
AM radio does still have one big thing going for it: It works when cell service doesn't, such as in the deep woods or during a cell service blackout.

On the other hand, as I don't keep a radio in my house, I guess we're all expected to go turn on the radio in our cars if cell service drops? I'm not sure that'll be a response many people think of...

I'm not sure that's an argument against an AM emergency broadcast system, but I'm also not sure if cars are really the place to mandate them. I wonder if there's regulations requiring government organizations (post offices, libraries, and/or police stations) to keep AM receivers on-hand?

As someone who got all three shots, and has no regrets: There's nothing wrong with their logic, it's just that my risk tolerances change based on the context. If I'm escaping from, say, a war; I'm not going to complain if the last flight out of the country is a Boeing 737 MAX - at least not until I'm in a safe country and can switch planes. Likewise, the risk tolerances for vaccines are extremely low normally[1], but I'm willing to accept a slightly riskier one if it means not getting infected with an extremely risky novel coronavirus with very well documented negative effects.

Furthermore, the extremely politicized nature of the vaccine development process[0] constrains corporate misbehavior. In other words, the CEOs knew they had eyes on themselves and had to restrain themselves. Corporate misbehavior is far more likely when the public stops caring and corporations can start capturing regulatory agencies. In other words, their evil is very boring. "Company invents new vaccine that kills people" is an unusually sexy kind of evil, which means it gets unusually scrutinized. "Company neglects higher-than-average asbestos in talcum powder" is so boring nobody cares even after they get nasty cancer.

[0] Which, oddly enough, resulted in Trump getting booed for taking credit for the vaccine he funded.

[1] As far as I'm aware, these risks have not borne out into increased harm from the vaccines. I feel like there would have been a conservative media shitstorm if it had.

I would say an unemotional actor will recognize that those examples are objectively analogical. But that's not really here or there because I'm not saying one cannot have a well-founded moral reaction to the past. I'm saying it's an accident of our location in history that only Nazis receive this treatment -- well-deserved as it may be -- and admittedly one should expect any group to harbor resentment towards a vanquished enemy for some time.

There is simply no good economical reasons to rewrite the worlds C++ codebase in Rust. It might be more elegant, but there is no return on investment.
Topologic | Senior/Staff/Principal Frontend Engineer; multiple roles | On-site; remote | Full-time | Boston, MA, US; Paris, FR; remote | topologic.io

Over one third of apparel produced is never sold: Topologic’s mission is to eliminate this disastrous overproduction and waste by producing exactly to demand. To do this, we’re reinventing apparel manufacturing, from CAD/CAM software to novel intelligent machines. We are attacking a massive $2T industry, are already generating B2B revenue, and are backed with $10m from leading VCs and CAD insiders. We remain in relative stealth.

We are hiring passionate senior/staff/principal frontend software engineers, especially with interest and experience in design tools, computer graphics, and CAD, as well as web development. Our FE tech stack is TypeScript, React 18 (soon to be 19), Redux, and WebGL 2. We also use Rust via Web Assembly.

We are also hiring senior/staff/principal mechanical engineers as well as a machinist to work on our novel hardware projects. We build up deep domain knowledge about our industry and partners and have representative stakeholders in-house who we collaborate with on a daily basis.

We prioritize diversity and inclusion of all varieties. We appreciate our colleagues as unique individuals who all bring valuable perspectives to our work.

I found the original "pixelated" image to look higher resolution / crisper / more detailed.

Really at any size I tried, I found the "upscale" to look blurry / low quality.

Am I an outlier here?
Most of the safety nets in rust were in pascal(some may say done better in pascal). The fastest most efficient compilers in the early 2000s were pascal compilers (RIP Borland). but here we are.. no pascal and c++ everywhere.
This seems like a circular argument? Why is rust not killing C++? Because it's not as prevalent. I'm not sure the author added anything insightful to the conversation.

> There’s that Asian rapper who spoke up about the DA and immediately got ganged up on to apologize.

You said you were afraid to express your opinion and implied (maybe my misunderstanding) some physical risk. Has anyone been physically attacked for it? I'm starting to think otherwise.

> 2 more elderly Asians were attacked

How does that threaten you for expressing your opinions? Also, in a large city, some are attacked every day; is there evidence of elderly Asian people experiencing particularly high crime?

> Thanks to people like you

That's way out of bounds on HN. You seem to be the person doing the attacking - and in fact taking the 'victim' position is often used as a justification for that.
>> To raise enough cash to make the deal happen, Golden Gate sold off Red Lobster's real estate to another entity — in this case, a company called American Realty Capital Properties

I wonder if the Golden Gate investors also own American Realty, or are good friends of theirs. Sure GG made their money, but owning the real estate seems like a second good investment so long as the chain doesn't go under and the lease terms are favorable.

> but they could have been just as successful using another language.

I don't claim to be a rockstar developer or anything close. But my capabilities and efficiency as a developer are tightly coupled to the tech stack I use (not just language).

I moved from a job where I chose my own tech stack that I iterated over several years to one where I'm forced to use (IMHO) tools that are poorly suited to my work, and I'd say the quality and volume of my work has dropped by at least 10x.

So I think it's both. You need smart people, but they also need to be using the right tools for the job.
> I've worked as a C++ developer. Most of my peers didn't understand the "fundamentals". They didn't know a map was implemented as a binary tree, for example. They didn't understand struct packing. The list goes on an on.

And even if you do know the fundamentals, for a vast majority of programming, you don't need to care.

How often does the average programmer need to care about the underlying mechanism a map? How often do they need to care about struct alignment? Etc.

> C++ allows for quite a bit of abstraction letting people be quite productive without understanding much about the machine. People look up the API in the standard library and they just use it like they would any other language.

Rust similarly does... it just yells about the specifics of the abstractions.

Yep although to be precise it's a pay-for-a-year-of-updates model, and the underlying macOS APIs in this space change significantly between minor and major macOS releases, so ymmv in terms of "pay once forever".

>"So you might want to file for bankruptcy to pay off all your victims fairly and, perhaps, cheaply, even if their claims will not really “bankrupt” you in the traditional sense. But in fact that is kind of a drastic step, expensive and disruptive and risky and probably bad for shareholders. No chief executive officer of a big company wants to file for bankruptcy if it is not strictly necessary.

> There is a neater approach:

> -You put the liabilities in a box. You create a new subsidiary, you put the product-that-kills-people business in that subsidiary, and you transfer the liabilities related to that product to the subsidiary. This is, in general, hard to do, but in fact Texas has a weird merger law that allows it: You can “merge” your company into two companies, one with the liabilities and one with the rest of the business.

> -You have the box — the new subsidiary with all the product liabilities — file for bankruptcy. You get fair and consistent adjudication of the product claims, inside the box, and the rest of the company just goes along relatively normally.

> This is called the “Texas two-step.” In its extreme form it sounds like very bad cheating: You can’t really put all the liabilities and none of the money in the box; that is just a way to defraud victims, and surely they’d find a way to do something about it. But a milder form of the Texas Two-Step is that you put the liabilities in the box, put the box in bankruptcy, but have the parent company guarantee its product liabilities. (Perhaps up to some reasonable number, perhaps not.) Then you can say “no, we are not doing this to get out of paying our liabilities; we are doing it to pay them in a fairer and more consistent way.”
Right, but I think this could be used at like a school to control what IPs are accessed on the network for even an untrusted device. So students couldn't bypass DNS blocks via VPN.
When I think of "smooth and sharp" my mind goes to, uh, I guess "sharp bilinear" is the most common term?

It's like nearest neighbor interpolation but with less artifacting when the zoom is not an integer. The middle of each source pixel becomes a solid color block, and then bilinear filtering is applied to the single-pixel-wide seams between each block.

It's equivalent to doing a nearest neighbor upscale to floor(scale), then finishing with bilinear.
It's a highly prophetic movie. (And my thinking so is probably another example of it!)
How is the personal savings rate a good indicator? It went up during the great recession and spiked during the last recession in 2020. If anything high savings is a counter-indicator.

Not to mention that we are seeing a generational shift in the labor market right now - the baby boomer part of the population pyramid is finally deciding to retire and is probably not going to save as much as they were when they were building their nest egg.
It's especially jarring to see a story like this with Red Lobster as its subject.

I'm curious if anyone who has a negative reaction to this article has actually been to a Red Lobster in the last 10 years. They serve poor quality food for similar prices as other sit-down restaurants. You're as likely to get poor service as you are anywhere else (maybe more so), but you'll still have to tip the same amount and spend the same amount of time there. There is no value proposition and certainly no cause for mourning or hagiographies.
Yes, it is surprising initially but I can imagine that hft java coding conventions are very different from enterprise java.
> While that most definitely is a consideration, AVIF lacks many features and much of the functionality offered by JPEG XL.

What features are these? You have not named a single concrete advantage. The places where AVIF out-performs JPEG XL are exactly where it make sense as an image format for the web: high fidelity images with bit rates at or below 1 bit/pixel. Nobody is browsing the web on a 16-bit panel and AVIF supports 12bpc images anyway.

Unfortunately, JPEG XL authors chose not include AVIF when they performed a subjective image comparison in 2020 under controlled viewing conditions (https://research.google/pubs/benchmarking-jpeg-xl-lossylossl...), but previous subjective studies showed AVIF outperforming PIK and FUIF over the evaluated bit-rates.

> the arrogance of modern natural science due to its success makes us disinclined and demotivated to look outside the box of its current models

I'd say it is not the arrogance that stops us, but the sheer amount of work invested into current theories. You cannot match it with mere personal effort.

> treating the entities described by current models (wrong, per above) as ground truth

Psychology shares one special property with sociology and economics: theories not just describe a object of a research, they change the object. In some obvious ways (like popularization of IQ scores makes life easier for people with high IQ score) and in less obvious ways.

It doesn't mean that anything said by a psychologists becomes true, but many things are. I'd bet that even if consciousness was not an illusion it is now.

I took an online cryptography course from this professor a few years back. It was very good.

Even though I have a background in math that class made me realize I don't want to be a professional cryptographer, which in itself is pretty nice.

The halting problem isn't scientific, though. It's entirely mathematical (mathematics and science are typically treated as distinct domains, see https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~v1ranick/papers/wigner.pdf for some discussion). We do not know if there is a scientific way to make a machine which exceeds the ability of a Turing machine, see for example this paragraph from the wikipedia page on the halting problem:

"It is an open question whether there can be actual deterministic physical processes that, in the long run, elude simulation by a Turing machine, and in particular whether any such hypothetical process could usefully be harnessed in the form of a calculating machine (a hypercomputer) that could solve the halting problem for a Turing machine amongst other things. It is also an open question whether any such unknown physical processes are involved in the working of the human brain, and whether humans can solve the halting problem"

One of the most important things to recognize about science is that we rarely, if ever, work with absolutely well-determined systems with analytically solvable equiations. INstead, we work almost untirely with underdetermined systems with only approximate methods, and while somewhat unsatisfying, those methods are almost always a more efficient way to make falsifiable hypotheses and run experiments. I don't think anybody ever truly makes a falsifiable hypothesis- in the sense of Descartes' great deceiver, we can't truly know for certain what the underlying state of the system was.
