It's frustrating to come back here and see a commenter getting into internet hostilities with a kid. It makes me want to say "pick on someone your own size".

If you want to understand why I feel that way, I posted a long explanation in a different part of this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41167981.

I'm pretty sure you didn't intend to come across that way at all, but you unfortunately did so whether you intended to or not, and you weren't the only one.

Honestly, I think this is the main reason. They'll do some financial shenanigans and xAI is going to benefit.
> if the ease of use of your aircraft is such that pilots who otherwise would not be qualified to fly now can fly, this is a recipe for disaster.

How does that work? If they’re now qualified to fly then clearly they meet the standards set out for that. It could be argued that if they meet those standards but would be a danger to themselves and others in a different plane, it’s still a net win.
Finland is nearly as bad. 20 years ago there were only 3 food chains. All domestic and playing the rules "no price competition". So food prices were about 30% higher than in Germany for example (these a very different countries so lack of competition is only one reason). Then Lidl (discounter of German origin) entered the market. The first years the incumbents fought it with unfair practices, but in the end it led to more price competition with everybody having to offer cheaper choices. 2 of the incumbents have since merged (with some regulatory limitations) so we are back to 3 players, 2 playing "according to the oligopoly book" and one doing things different, at least offering some choice.

Banks are not much better. There are a couple of small players additionally to the 3 big ones, but competition is limited to very few products. If you are interested in something else, choices are very poor.
Amazon is certainly not the only company to do RTO. Nor are they the only company to do stack ranking. Nor are they the only company to do “hire for firing”, which is what unregretted attrition is basically about.

So far, they do seem to be the only company I’ve heard of so far that is doing the forced co-location with your management, specifically for people who were hired as remote and promised that they could stay remote.

I’m sure they have some other practices that may be common amongst other companies, and probably some that are not common amongst other companies. But in terms of the main ones I mentioned, there is a great deal of overlap.
I probably didn't word it that well; I meant that if you don't enjoy eating food that you like the taste of, there's something wrong with you. It's a normal human thing to like to eat, and to eat things you think are tasty. Unfortunately, modern low-quality unhealthy foods are engineered to be tasty, but this doesn't mean there's something seriously wrong with people who like them. I didn't mean "good food" as only high-quality, nutritious food, just something you like to eat and enjoy eating, even if it isn't that healthy.

The people who really have something wrong with them here are those who actually don't enjoy eating any food, and see it strictly as a biologically-necessary chore. Those are the people who seem to be attracted to Soylent. Yes, I really do think there's something wrong with these people.
>> I guess we all get labeled "karens" now for showing any kind of negative feedback in person

Being a Karen is more about "how" you complain rather than "what" you complain about.

(With exceptions, complaining about race etc makes you a Karen too.)

But in the context of a restaurant, well mannered complaints are often well received and encouraged. If the food arrives cold, let the server know. Politely. Calmly. The restaurant wants to know, they want to fix the problem.

Leaping to your feet, throwing the food on the floor, and making a scene out of proportion to the offense is what turns you into a Karen.

If you enjoy eating "good food" (whatever you define that as, since it depends on your taste), that's normal for a human. You don't have to attach a "higher purpose" to it, but it's something that's been important to humans since forever. We have taste buds for a reason, and eating tasty food isn't going to fall out of favor ever, unless humans somehow change into something non-human.
I'm also impressed with tabelog.

Japanese reviewers seem to understand that 3 is an average meal, and anything higher should be above average.

I wonder how tipping culture of the western world impacts star averages. Americans tip on just about everything. Do we inflate our star rating because it's in our mindset to 'be nice'?

Whereas Japanese are courteous on the outside, but uphold strict scrutiny on the inside. So when they rate something as 3 stars, it truly was a satisfactory meal, nothing more or less.

Very simply, for me, keeping my hands on the keyboard feels right and means less movement overall. If I’m typing and want to correct something two words back, say “how rae you?” I can either

- grab my mouse and click where I want the cursor, fix the typo, and then click back to where I was (or hit End, or was it Ctrl+Right? Opt+End?)

- type <Esc>Faa<Delete><Delete>ar<Esc>$

Ok, that’s a lot of weird keystrokes, but in my brain my hands just did “jump back to the a in ‘rae’, delete the ‘ra’, type ‘ar’, jump to the end of the line”.

Over a decade of Vim later and these motions are second nature to me, and using my mouse is usually reserved for the times I’m not in Vim. I can’t say I’m faster or more efficient, but I know how to get my cursor to exactly where I want it and how to manipulate, move, copy, delete, etc, in a way that feels natural and intuitive.
Not necessarily, in the end, customer-density might be to low on both sides to maintain a restaurant.

I'm with you on vim not being there out of the box. I mean, even on Debian it's not in by default.

But I also feel that ship has sailed for most software. We joke that windows/macos's default browser is only there to go install Chrome/firefox or any other browser of choice, and I see the wider reality of it as most OSes requirement a decent amount of installation to get to a usable point, even for very basic tasks.

It's still easier to use software that is mostly available everywhere in mostly the same shape and form (also why so many people bet on VSCode I think)

Maybe if you're only eating Soylent but the vast majority are simply people who don't want to cook for one reason or another. I eat Huel a few times a week and I really like it. I also think it's pretty tasty but most of all it's convenient.
One could say the same about any interest, really...imagine bragging what sort of car you drive, as if that makes any real difference.

Of course, you say, driving some expensive car means you get more attention, right? Well, yes, and it doesn't make you any better of a person...if your text editor is your car and people care about what car you drive, then maybe it also gets you some attention...

But yes it is sad that we get wrapped up in the unimportant things in life. Good to have some escapes, too, though.

I was recently in an airport in Japan looking to use the meal voucher I'd been given due to a delayed flight.

What was available locally was a coffee shop with a very long line (well, not a long line, maybe ten feet, but keep reading), which operated like this:

- The person at the head of the line would advance and speak to the cashier, who would take their coffee order.

- The cashier would then leave the cash register and busy herself making the order.

- There were two other people on staff, who stayed away from the register. I'm not sure what they were supposed to be doing. They didn't take or prepare orders.

As you might imagine, this made for a very slow-moving line.

I wanted to use my voucher to buy some sodas from a refrigerated display in front of the counter. I had no trouble picking the sodas up myself and learning that the shop accepted meal vouchers. The voucher was exact change for the four sodas I was holding, so I hoped that that would be the end of things.

Instead, on learning that I wanted to use the voucher I was asking about, to pay for the sodas I was already holding, the cashier asked me to please line up with everybody else. Since that would have taken at least 40 minutes, I went to see whether a separate wing of the airport might have something.

That didn't work out, but I did run into my family (taking a separate flight), and after some socializing I went back to try and get sodas for everybody, since the competing store we'd found didn't take meal vouchers.

This time, after several minutes standing in line, I realized that there was no possibility of reaching the head of the line before I had to board my flight. So I hailed one of the idle behind-the-counter staff, specifically avoiding the cashier, and asked about my meal voucher. They were still happy to take it.

When I tried to make the purchase, the cashier butted in and asked me to please line up behind everybody else. And I shouted in frustration, "That takes so long!"

At which point, they took my voucher and let me walk off with the sodas. The voucher was still exact change.

I'm not sure what the solution was supposed to be. I find it hard to believe that you're supposed to handle deeply dysfunctional shop staff by yelling at them. But I have to note that this 'solution' saved me a huge chunk of time - and made it possible for me to make a purchase, and the shop to make a sale, that otherwise couldn't have happened at all - while not costing anyone else anything, except perhaps for wounding the cashier's heartfelt sense of propriety.

One lesson seems to be that in some cases, complying with the rules serves no purpose other than to enable actively harmful rules to remain in place.
Because part of the purpose of the captcha (or at least most of their uses on the modern web) is to ensure human time is wasted. It’s “proof of suffering” more than proof of work or proof of payment.

I strongly suspect that most of this is a consequence of declining democratic participation, especially at the local level. When most people don't vote, it makes the government beholden only to those few who do — and they tend not to be a demographically representative bunch. This is the same issue that makes it so easy for HOAs to become heavy-handed or corrupt.

One of the pleasant surprises I had, immigrating from the US to Australia, was discovering how much more responsive the government is to the populace, even at the municipal level. The big difference is that, here, virtually everyone votes in all elections at every level of government because it is considered a legal responsibility of citizenship, just like jury duty and taxes. This means that time-poor, lower-class single parents have exactly the same voting power as retired busybodies, and that makes a HUGE difference to how smoothly and fairly everything operates.
Well they almost certainly fall under the 100mg (that's about 150 mg of Galinalstan. The rule also requires it be carried as cargo. That is, no gallium in passenger aircraft. So technically it would be illegal.

However it's extremely improbable any amount of gallium would be able to escape the devices enclosure much less make it past the furnishings to the actual aircraft structure. Much less an amount likely to cause problems.

> And if I want to look around a single file, I feel like anything else besides scrolling would be quite inferior in terms of speed and accuracy.

{ and } jump you to the previous/next new line, respectively. Also page up and down work of course, as well as arrows or j/k. But I’m rarely scrolling in vim because I know what I’m looking for and how to get there faster.

> And moving around lines and words is already quite optimal enough without a mouse, using arrows and option/command modifier.

Fair, and in vim you have a single key to jump words (w/W) or the f/F commands (along with ;) to quickly jump through a single character in a line. Example:

This is a string and I want to get to the last letter.

If your cursor is at the beginning of the line, you can just type “fr” and then hit ; until you’re at the “r” in “letter”. Or hit $ since really you just want to get to the end of the line. Or “f.” since there’s only one period. Or…

> And also I use a lot of ctrl + f to move around, which I find quite reliable.

And in Vim you can use / to search ahead, or ? to search behind. And n/N to jump to the next/previous match. Maybe your cursor is on the word you want to find more of in the file? Just hit * to jump to the next instance of it and n/N to jump next/previous.
It's the same in Europe with the 5-stars-is-normal scale.

In my personal experience it's the app that fosters it. Many companies who ask for reviews follow up anything below 5 stars or 10/10 with "how can we improve?" Or some similar questions. This is friction they generate for me as a user if I rate anything below top tier.

Personally for me 5 stars or 10/10 would be service that is so good I couldn't even tell you how to do it. I couldn't tell you how to improve to that state unless the business in question is something I'm very familiar with. Still I sometimes find myself handing out 5 stars because otherwise I have to find something to complain about and I just can't think of anything.

So that is what has made 5 stars for me go from "mind blowingly outstanding" to "nothing to complain".
The "everywhere" argument is exactly about the defaults, otherwise there's no benefit, most alternatives are available via an install

I wish this example was exaggerated.
Agreed. I live in Europe and have the same experience.

Europeans tend to use the same review apps as Americans, so it could lead to the same problems (expectations at least). We do the same things with other review systems like Airbnb.

I've only been a user of tabelog as a person looking for a meal, not a reviewer. So I'm not sure the experience they have.
If someone's a bad amateur innkeeper, what's the worst that could happen? Their guests might have a poor experience, or at worst get bedbugs or something (which happens commonly at real hotels a lot these days anyway). At the very worst, their "inn" could burn down, but that's a risk with any building, including whatever home the guests normally live in.

Amateurs flying aircraft have the potential to cause far more havoc than this, or even the havoc that a bad driver could cause.
> In the US, if you prioritize the wants of the people, you'll just get wider roads. The people there don't want better public transit; you can see this every time these discussions come up on HN and Americans here respond about how much they hate riding on public transit or walking anywhere.

That makes a lot of sense, interested to learn more about this, any statistics you’re aware of on this topic?
Especially when the hint is elementary but the topic is one I don't know about (or don't remember) and there exists a large corpus of public writing about it.

The code presented has problems, but they are not the problems the author thinks it is.

The code is listed as c++. However, it is using a style that will result in problems.

First thing that jumped out at me is using const char* for strings. Using this muddies ownership and doesn’t store the length of the buffer which can result in all sorts of fun. Add to that that many times paths are formed by string concatenation, and it is looking like a code smell.

Second, there is no RAII and just manual management of resources.

These problems are far more likely to cause issues that the use of type deduction which by now has pretty good tooling support and is used successfully in many languages. Of course, not using RAII, using raw pointers make it tricky, but you shouldn’t be using those like that anyway.
Easy to read, well written and well structured. Great work Drew !
