> compile time abstract base class would enable compile time resolution of virtuals. so then i can do compile-time polymorphism
What's wrong with static polymorphism that have been around for at least 31 years? (1995 per [1]). Also know as CRTP [2] Apart, of course, from ugly verbose compilation errors...
And now c++23 "deducing `this`" [3,4] modern replacement which is supposed to improve compilation time and remove the verbose errors.
I think raw numbers are misleading - they have more Seattle employees, so per capita WARN rate is more interesting. Do you know what the percentage impacts were?
If you're big in the google ecosystem it makes sense:
- gemini-cli can have remote a2a agents connected to it. (See https://github.com/tanaikech/gemini-cli-gas-a2a-subagents and the medium article linked in that repo description.) Haven't tried it but I tried the local use case below.
- can expose a custom Google ADK "agent" via one-liner as a2a, which you can connect to the gemini-cli the same way.
I still remember the massive shift to SDRP and HDRP.
Honestly, now in retrospect, almost a decade later, I think it was clearly done wrong. It was a mess, and switching over was a multi-week procedure for anything more than a hello world program, and what you got in return wasn’t something that looked better, just something that had the potential to.
Similar story with the whole networking stack. I haven’t used Unity in years now after it being my main work environment for years, but the sour taste it left in my mouth by moving everything that worked in the engine into plugins that barely worked will forever remain there.
Don't forget that some of the new features are mutually incompatible. For example couple years ago you couldn't use the "new ui system" with the "new input system" even when both were advertised as ready/almost ready
Seems like the Instagram handle will be the Threads handle. IG, like Twitter rely on the handle concept, whereas Facebook never really did in the same manner.
Yes, this is the answer for sure. You can get a good username on it, because you have one on Instagram. That's a big deal for a lot of people, I think.
You are right. I was off by few million, according to below stats counter. Note that any count is an estimation due to the decentralized nature of the network and instances not counted. I've seen other higher numbers too.
I think you are 10 million off, since the monthly active users shows who is actively using the platform on a monthly basis, not total registrations.
If I was to bring up Twitter's total registered users to date, it would be close to the billions. That doesn't mean there are billions of users using it monthly, this is why total registered users as a metric is irrelevant.
Twitter's DAUs are in the hundreds of millions (over 220M+). Since that is the case it is clear that the MAUs are even higher. Mastodon's 7 years of existence vs Twitter's 7 years of existence is not even close and is no contest, with Twitter at 90M+ daily active users at the time.
The growth-hacking folks around here should realize that from the perspective of the Fediverse there is no such "contest". This is probably the biggest difference why Twitter is by no means an alternative to Mastodon. There's no need to grow at all costs, move fast and break things, do crazy things to get engagement levels up, no commercial incentives, valuations, VC and shareholders to satisfy. The Fediverse is a network created by people, for people, and it is noticeable in the culture.. if you stop the frantic growth-hacking and take the time to discover it.
"It’s unclear why Shah asked to serve at that specific prison but People says other notable inmates who have been sent to the Bryan camp have included Hidalgo County, Texas, Commissioner Sylvia Handy; Jenna Ryan, who participated in the January 6 Capitol attack; and Lea Fastow, a former assistant treasurer at Enron."
How are you always able to post these lists so quickly, with posts going back to 200*? These posts don't even link to the same source, and not every title contains "Field Manual", one is just named "How to make sure nothing gets done at work", has 3 comments and is from 2015. Wild :D
It's fun for me that someone noticed that! The hard part of those lists is finding the threads that don't show up in obvious searches (e.g. exact title matches).
The answer is (1) I wrote software to let me use HN Search and do related HN things rather quickly via keyboard shortcuts; and (2) I spent 10 min tracking down ones that I'd missed last time.
For classics/perennials like the OP, it's a bit of an investment since they will come up for as long as HN exists, and hopefully that will be a long time.
No but it's on my list to do that one of these years. I'd need to factor out the stuff that makes sense only for admins from the stuff that users could use. Currently all that is tangled together.
I think the guy you replied to, dang, runs the site. So I figure they probably have some sort of admin dashboard with tagging functionality for common reposts? Just my guess.
Avoiding SSO to keep access even if you loose access to bigCo email has been working well, but unfortunately more & more websites are moving away from password to instead verification code in the email.
Sure there are advantages to it, but if the email is bigCo, it effectively has the same drawbacks as SSO from same bigCo (i.e unfair account suspension, you're screwed)
With email+password, even if you lost access to let's say your Gmail, you can still login with that Gmail address and your password and go change the email in your account profile.
Yeah. I've moved most of my critical stuff off my GMail address onto a Google Workspace account, just sucks that not everything works with a Google Workspace account. I am just hoping that actually paying them money makes it a little less likely my account will get suspended.
I also don't use the account for anything that could get a suspension. No public user content, not used for SSO, and I don't have anything programmatically accessing my account. I know there's still a non-zero chance of getting nuked, but my risk as near zero as it gets.
