>I also have some ideas how to make this defer implementation work with break and continue, but that is unfortunately a bit more nasty.

This is the kind of things better done in the compiler, I implemented the n3199 variant of defer[1], along with [[gnu::cleanup]], in a small C compiler with about 200 LOC by extending the VLA de-allocation algorithm, the process is archived at [2].

No offense, but I feel kind of silly only realizing now that you’ve been responding without having read my original post. I already paid the $300, I already talked to a tax lawyer, and the letters after the first one were not automated. If they’re scammers, it’s weird that I paid them by typing irs.gov into my address bar. I wish you all the best.

> In many cases it may just be managers who need to justify having spent all that money on their office spaces.

I find this argument uncompelling as everyone can obviously see that things changed since February 2020, and sunk costs do not justify throwing more good money after bad. It could easily have been the correct decision to acquire more office space years back and it could just as easily now be the correct decision to divest that office space if more workers are remote, and it's not anyone's fault for not having seen into the future that there'd be a global pandemic.

The current level in the Red Forest is 0.1-10mSv/h. So in a month one would get 0.07-7Sv - already a death/live lottery depending on where one was located during that month that the Russian soldiers spent there. Yet the real kicker is that Russian army drove armor and dug trenches in the Red Forest. Disturbing soil there immediately makes a hot spot with many times increased level. And moving armor and digging raised the dust which means the soldiers got breathed a lot of that stuff in which is much worse for the health than even that increased background level. So, yes, low hundreds (judging by the number of soldiers brought just to that Belarussian hospital) of Darwin awards are due here.

Russian presence there was documented by multiple sources - i at the time saw much from Telegram, Ukrainian and oppositional Russian sources - and here for example is more typical Western source:

https://www.npr.org/2022/04/07/1091396292/satellite-photo-sh...

I saw many times people just doubt that story without any specific reason, and i'm yet to hear what specifically they doubt - the radiation levels? Russian presence? or may be the arithmetic of the levels multiplied by the length of the presence?

Show HN: Codebased, an AI Search Engine for Code
Codebased combines Tree Sitter for code awareness (find functions, data structures, constants, etc. not just lines of code), full-text search using SQLite, and semantic search using OpenAI embeddings + FAISS.
Despite being implemented in Python, supporting semantic search, making multiple API calls for embedding and re-ranking, it is faster than ripgrep for runng searches against the Linux kernel (takes ~1 second vs. ~2 seconds, obviously depends on system, temperature, time of day, tidal forces, etc.)
Up next:
- A Perplexity-like agent for interpreting results, making multiple follow-up searches, etc.
- Custom embedding and re-ranking stack
- Agent for running shell commands, editing code, etc. similar to SWe-Agent: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.15793.

Faster than most alternatives, good enough, but most importantly very widely available. Zstd is better on most axes (than bzip as well), except you can't be sure it's always there on every machine and in every language and runtime. zlib/gzip is ubiquitous.

We use xz/lzma when we need a compressed format that you can seek through the compressed data.
Great read and you could totally translate it to “Why to Not Write an App” almost verbatim. The following passage is I think the most interesting:

> Now of course, there is a second kind of author: authors who write books with little discernible impact on their newsletter or blog. They sit down for an hour (statistically, in the morning), pound out their quota, and turn to the next task. The book does not weigh on their minds, and they are confident that they will have it out, as usual, in 12 months. More power to them—but I also think that most would-be book authors already know if they are one of that latter kind of writers, or if they are the former kind I’ve been discussing.

I think your model of how unions work has been heavily influenced by negative publicity.

Unions do not lock down job roles, or enforce collective bargaining, or any of the rest of it, if their members don't want it.

Unions are like the anti-HR. Exactly like when the other side of a negotiation lawyers up, you want a lawyer on your side of the table. Unions are the HR person on your side of the table.

I'm a startup founder and I can definitely see a point where we'd encourage union membership. I want my staff to be happy and productive. I'd love to have someone I could talk to regularly who was very much a representative of my staff. Of course I'd continue talking to all of them individually as well, but having a single person tasked with telling me any bad news would be great.
Finally! Somebody who is actually talking about the contents :-)

And hardware marches on while you are trying to get your widget manufactured and shipped.

I was at a hardware startup in 2013/14. We had our own board design that was very similar to the RaspberryPi + Arduino that we'd prototyped with (we ended up using a iMX233 and an AT Mega 328). While we were debugging a manufacturing fault (out of spec led controllers), Expressif released the SDK for their at the time practically unknown ESP8862 - which meant 90% of our functionality could now be done with a BOM of around $15 instead of the $90 or so ours was costing us.

Our "moat" had been concreted over while we were pulling our hair out trying to ship in time for xmas. (And the business died in arguments, recriminations, fingerpointing, and a lack of ability to find investment to pay for a 2nd production run. And I needed up with another piece of paper saying I had a percentage or two of ownership in something now worth zero dollars...)

I was in a role that did require a lot of talking, in a large health tech company. Oddly enough Covid was a great leveler for the org and I found myself reaching out to people across the world and learning about how Africa leads in certain market areas because of their straight-to-mobile attitude (midwives are fully mobile with cloud connected ultrasound devices in their backpack), I connected with India and that one guy in our team from the US promoted from on a laptop in a corner to a full meeting member.

Their ranking of best colleges in the country for free speech are completely wrong (and just happen to align with the political views of their big donors).

For example one factor is how many newspaper articles get written about issues with free speech at a school. Tiny private colleges that explicitly say they don't support free speech do great on this metric.

University of Virginia is championed by them as the best school in the country for free speech, which simply isn't true.
Study reveals secret of 190-day Crystal Palace build
You characterize every single piece of equipment on platform so you can do somewhat accurate simulations. The shuttle flew most of the critical phases of their missions on the ground before ever uploading the code into an actual shuttle computer. The simulation system was continuously updated with real world performance information so it's accuracy continually improves.

You also have a command processor on the spacecraft side. It will have some of these characterizations present as limits on command authority. Commands sent without override that exceed these limits will be ignored, possibly cancelling the entire sequence of dependent commands. You can demand that these limits be ignored but this obviously requires you to specify it redundantly in the message set.

Should anything happen your flight software is generally going to go into a recovery mode. Voyager will try this 4 times after a period of no commands triggers a watchdog. This will switch on different radios while keeping them oriented towards the Earth in a constant effort to reacquire the command signals.

Should this process fail a backup flight software mode will then activate which performs basic mission functions on a continuous loop so whatever continues to operate on the spacecraft will transmit it's data automatically back to the Earth at it's highest power setting.

Voyager was a continuation of some of the Viking hardware and flight systems.

Oh I completely agree, as I said bzip2 is obsolete as far as I’m concerned.

I was mostly saying zstd is not just comparable to xz (as a slow but high-compression ratio format), it’s also more than competitive with gzip, if it’s available the default configuration (level 3) will very likely compress faster and use less CPU and yield a smaller file size than gzip, though I’m pretty sure it uses more memory to do that (because of the larger window if nothing else).

Would've expected the generation raised on punch cards to be ideally suited for this kind of stunt, having learnt the hard way about the turnaround time for a bug (Donald Knuth quote about proving programs correct comes to mind), so I'd expect mission control, operators, and coders to be well in their 70s at least?

The article mentions that "many people seek ways to bypass probate, and the law offers several avenues for doing so" but doesn't mention that in California a holographic will is sufficient to avoid probate. You just need to handwrite a will with a witness present. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm speaking from experience. A few years before my father passed away, he wrote a will literally telling us that it was "just in case," but it ended up saving us a lot of trouble. We went to an estate lawyer who told us that the will was legally sufficient to avoid probate.

I’m glad you took it this direction because it gets to the reason I brought up the other article. It’s not an accident that China dominates in so many technological areas. It is the result of a deliberate plan. The CCP specifically targets areas of investment. The US does this too, but usually in a less direct way (politics mean you have to keep constituencies happy which means farmers keep getting subsidies). The idea that the market is “free” is a myth.

So if we want companies to invest in certain high capex industries, we need to de-risk those investments. Change the cost-benefit calculation so that companies will invest in industries we need to grow domestically. CHIPS and Science kind of did this, but we need to keep doing it.

That seems to be a bit of a stretch, the US lacks many things but a high-skilled workforce isn't really one of them. The issue is more the anti-industrial trend. The systems that China used to get ahead and build things like all that high speed rail are mostly illegal, nonviable or - at best - politically hazardous in the US (massive amounts of low-quality construction, lots of coal fired plants, low wages, ignoring IP laws, experimenting with different legal structures in specific areas to see what works).
I think you are ignoring the core issue. The problem is not so much the population decreasing but it getting older. If the average age goes up (and therefore average productivity goes down significantly) that will likely outweigh all of the potential advantages you have discussed.

What is more, unless we change how democracy works (e.g. young people and those who have children (<18) get extra votes the older generations will keep voting for policies that only benefit them and make things even worse longterm.
Think so. It's also (sort of) true where I work (Hungary) if you are a parent of a child under the age of 7. It's not so much an automatic right as the right to request alternative work arrangements (home office, flexitime, etc.), and your employer can't just say 'no', they have to demonstrate the reasons that that's not acceptable (whatever arrangement you requested).
