Are you serious?

I will be childfree, so will my sister. Both of us are queer. As far as I know, all my three cousins (two of whom are queer) feel the same. There's no reason to expect that your children will want to reproduce, and it is pretty selfish

As is an infix operator, it can never be invoked implicitly to draw these relationships between different types.

Nothing prevents std::vector from having a `constexpr` default-constructor except that it's not considered useful to do if you cannot follow that up with initializing its data in a constant context. For instance, this isn't very u

Rust and Go have no form of a conversion operator (even if not a constructor), which makes scripting a type system essentially impossible. Numeric libraries in both of those languages are extremely cumbersome, largely for this reason.

> the object construction can be done with static methods I've done that a lot too, but I found that free functions are much better for this than static member functions, because you can't get CTAD from static member functions.

I'm sure that feature is important for whatever works you're doing, but that's a feature I've _never_ desired, and WSL is missing plenty of features that are important for my work. Hardware performance counters basically

At my previous job, the product I worked on would open something like 200 DLL plugins on start-up. This would basically hang GDB while it's indexing the DWARF symbols, but LLDB gives you a very nice asynchronous progress indicator for

My sister, who is a pretty technical kinesiology PhD student, does not know how to input Alt+F4 and insists that is esoteric knowledge. There's a litmus test for how out of touch HN users may be with the way normal people use computers

> Building a "verifier" on top of Rust seems a bit excessive and unneeded. Well, Rust doesn't yet have taint checking or effects, so there's two things lacking.

The truth of this varies between Lisp based languages.

The Scopes language might be similar to what you're asking about. Its notion of "spices" which complement the "sugars" feature is a similar kind of constant evaluation. It's not a Common Lisp dialect, though, b

Not Iranian, but if I want plain tasty black coffee, I can grind, brew, and drink it topless at home. My favorite cafes in the bay area all have something more to offer me than decent plain coffee. I think this is just indicative of how t

In the anglosphere, we live in a time when minorities are aggressively persecuted by world governments and a sizable portion of their population. Now isn't really the time for moralizing about impartiality in how this is communicated.

You haven't attempted to do that. You asked us to imagine a rational fear of queer people, but there isn't one. You've simply asserted a dogma without substantiating it.

I'm not certain what MAGA-phobic could mean etymologically, since a "phobia" is an irrational fear of something, such as an irrational fear of people transitioning sex. Opposition to MAGA is typically rooted in the very ratio

I believe the pendulum will swing back eventually, but I don't know anyone in my communities who believes minority groups will come out of this doing better than they were in 2020. The Democrat party is giving no indication that they

My background is heavily biased towards C++ but I don't really feel like you can make it work in VS Code without understanding, at minimum, where your clangd is actually located. The C++ plugins don't install what you need where y

Yes I am working on tools (some of) which have real time deadlines, albeit not the very strictest ones. We're currently operating around the video game definition of "real time" (and video games are a potential use case), so

A large part of why I was hired for my current position is that I can explain why returning by move pessimizes NRVO and why an emplace taking a pr-value of the type it's constructing does nothing useful, and I know how to optimize type

One would think, but the FAA consistently failed to do much more than submit letters to SpaceX, which resulted in the FAA themselves being investigated. I don't think much ever came out of that. Only in the past year has the FAA been a

There are limits to when and for how long you are allowed to close roads for specific purposes, just as there are limits to when and where you can launch rockets of specific sizes. SpaceX ignored the rules, and nobody enforces them despite

Texas allows SpaceX to illegally disrupt 5 endangered wildlife reserves, ignore rocket launch regulations, and illegally block roads, so perhaps that is some of the appeal. Last year the Texas government decided they can do basically whatev

As a trans occasional-user of Facebook, I never saw any censoring of transphobic hate speech. During any administration, I was fed very many posts from nominally pro-queer visibility pages that existed primarily to bait interaction from v

I was looking out for a mention of Oklab and didn't see it while reading. If anyone else is wondering, you have to click on the [1] footnote to see it.
