I also agree. I was using the rif premium version. third-party apps removed Reddit's ads and offered a paid version instead. I'm not saying rif is a bad app. It is uch easier to use than the official app. However, it is self-evident that it would have contributed to the deterioration of monetization on the reddit side. It is not a civilized way to blow up huge communities by inciting people and setting fire to their seats because their means of earning deteriorate. Moreover, if the alternative is discord or a service hosted by some random person on the internet.

I don't know why this is a problem. Moderators are intentionally "sabotaging" subreddits, and there are many who are against it. I also don't like Reddit's recent move, but moderators' powers are neither permanent nor innate.

Although this article is about nuclear power, in fact it may be an issue that applies to all US infrastructure. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29489616

Also, I wonder if the US has accumulated know-how to lower the cost of nuclear power plant construction. Korea has continued to build nuclear power plants, and it is clear that it has the know-how to cut costs.

It is true that Reddit has problems with the way it operates. But the absurd argument that it should be provided "must be free" is not convincing. Such nonsensical claims are likely only made by socialists.

It is unbelievable that so many people's exchanges of opinions accumulated over the years have been blown away by a single strike like this. It is true that there is a problem with Reddit's operating policy. But it is run by a private company. Actions to monetize sometimes happen. It's not the attitude of a responsible modder to just blow up a subreddit that has thousands, maybe millions of users. Now that the 48-hour strike is over, we're making it a public reddit, at least for users to decide which platform to migrate to or to keep the status quo. And, in my opinion, no matter which platform you choose, a dependency on the platform operating company is unavoidable.

I have longed for America, but not anymore. American culture tainted by ideological warriors is making America lose its soft power.

In my opinion, in modern civilization, concentration in megacities is inevitable. I think it is unavoidable whether it is a centralized country (France, Korea, etc.) or a decentralized country (USA, Japan, Germany, etc.). Since the benefits of globalization are concentrated in cities, the high-skilled workforce tends to stay in big cities. As in the example above, poor quality of care in rural areas is just one consequence. (In Korea, where I live, this issue has recently been on the rise.)

Whether or not you can live without a car depends on the person and the area, so it is difficult to generalize.

I have lived in Seoul for more than 30 years, and this city has excellent public transportation and severe traffic congestion, so the utility of having a car is not great. For example, it takes about 50 minutes to get home by public transportation after work, but it usually takes 1 hour and 20 minutes by car.

In addition, I have to pay an annual insurance of $400 and a tax of $130, even if I don't use it even 1 km a year. And I actually don't use my car very often. I usually use it once a month, and my annual mileage is no more than 2000 km.

Even so, I haven't sold my car yet. This is because it is much more efficient to use a car sometimes. But I don't know if it's right to spend hundreds of dollars every year like this.

In many cases, multiple implementations are included and one is chosen to utilize the best instruction supported by the CPU. Example code: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:thi...

Giving a smartphone to a child is creating a lot of problems. In Korea, many parents play YouTube videos to their whining children, and many wonder if this is contributing to the rise in ADHD in children. Parents and the government must make a decision before a bigger social problem arises.

Dashcam (called a black box in Korea) is very common in Korea. According to 2021 statistics, it is installed in more than 80% of vehicles. There are plenty of products on the market for less than $200, and some people are already using their phones as DashCams, so Google's response probably won't resonate much. I also looked up the statistics of other countries, and European countries showed a penetration rate of around 10%, and the United States showed a penetration rate of around 30%. So I can understand why many people at HN question the value of Dashcam.

I don't care what EU countries do to curb their productivity. (I am a Korean national.) However, I am worried that another barrier is being built when considering the case of GDPR. And I hope they don't intervene in other countries as if their thoughts are universal.

EU citizens, you may be confused that you have been rejected. But isn't that what your government and the bureaucrats in Brussels have brought on themselves? As a Korean citizen, I have no complaints.

I live in Korea, have been on Bard's waitlist, and have been using it since last week with no problems.

Bard seems to be able to access indexed pages, at least. For example, two hours ago, I asked for a recap of https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/13bw8ud/the_future_of_..., and Bard did a good job with it. And, from today, Bard supports my native language, Korean.

His HW configuration is very similar to mine. One linux desktop, one laptop, one Mac Mini. Interesting.

I have set DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1 as an environment variable in my .profile file. What should I do for golang?

There are many reasons why Koreans are angry with the US, and some are related to semiconductors.

After Intel sold its NAND division to SK Hynix, South Koreans were upset because the US government was trying to impose sanctions on Chinese chip factories. Koreans believe that Intel sold it to South Korea after consulting with the US government, knowing that Intel's Dalian fab in China would be affected. It is some kind of insider trading or fraud.

Then passing the IRA and pressuring Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix to build semiconductor factories on US soil is not an allied attitude.

That's why I don't code on Windows and I don't work for bureaucratic companies where the IT department isn't flexible enough to understand how compilers work and how antivirus software can go wrong.

"Because this language is cool, let's rewrite it" is not a practical approach. I also think the fact that the number of people who are proficient in C++ is decreasing is a problem. But the intransigence of the Rust zealots keeps me away from it.

Webkit is the only browser engine allowed on iOS. Chrome and Firefox use the same engine as Safari, so blame Safari and Apple. Apple doesn't want browsers to be as powerful as native apps on iOS.

I agree that golang's standard library is high quality, nice, readable, permissive license. I have had several experiences porting parts of the Golang standard library to other languages such as C++ and have really enjoyed it. Golang's standard library has rich tests, such as fuzz tests, so the results after porting were also easily verifiable.

I do not live in the United States, but these measures are difficult to understand.

In the East Asian country where I live, most people cook with gas. Induction is becoming more popular, but there is no alternative other than gas for high-heat cooking. (And we use charcoal outdoors.)

I understand that there are concerns about using gas in the kitchen, but it can be improved with proper maintenance. For example, in our country, gas safety is checked through home visits twice a year. Natural gas is very safe. Even my car runs on LPG. The life expectancy of My country citizens is 83.4 years, more than 6 years longer than that of the United States.

It is excessive regulation for the state to regulate cooking means. Why not go against the government? How much do you think life expectancy would increase if gas was banned? Wouldn't it be the first thing to do to regulate guns, drugs and fentanyl?

Disclaimer. I am Korean and currently live in Korea. Online banking in Korea is very poor, so even though I code on Linux and macOS, I use Windows for internet banking.

As in many other countries, banking in Korea is a state-regulated industry. However, Korea's regulatory system rule downs to the smallest detail.

For example, in the Digital Signature Act(전자서명법), a content that allows only digital certificates in the form of files called authorized certificates(공인인증서) to be used for certification was added in 1999. (The contents were revised only in 2020.) As a result, most banking was accessible only using IE and Active-X. Now that Active-X cannot be used, various software is installed using separate installation files.

Korea's financial regulators are strict, but Korean politicians and media are paternalistic, so if there's a problem with finance, most of them try to side with financial consumers. For example, the issue of password leakage due to a keylogger installed on a user's PC is considered to be a bank problem, not a user problem. For this reason, banking websites require all kinds of security software, such as keylogger checking programs and firewalls. (This problem is gradually being mitigated.)

The problem with Korean security software is that the buyer of the security software (in this case, the bank) only requires that it meet the requirements of laws and regulatory authorities, so there is little room for improvement. Security software can be delivered only after CC certification (CC 인증) issued by the National Intelligence Service(국가정보원). By the way, the NIS is interested in which encryption algorithm is used (whether Korean algorithms such as SEED, ARIA, LEA, etc.), but it is not interested in whether Visual Studio Runtime is 2008 or 2019.

Also, financial institutions do not take cybersecurity issues seriously. For example, when I was in the security industry, a financial company asked for security software for ATMs running Windows XP SP2. Even at that time, Windows XP was EOL, and our security software was only supporting Windows XP SP3 or later. Significantly, the company suffered a cyber attack a few years ago that paralyzed its entire financial services for several days.

Most of the things I mentioned here refer to Korean-language materials, so giving references is somewhat limited.

And this is one of those successful PC games made with the Unity engine.

C++20 is hard, but Peter Kasting's presentation is really easy to understand. I learned a lot.

Also, I don't understand why there are so many negative views on C++. C++ is a beast, but somehow you can control it, and C++ is too popular and still in use to be replaced by anything else in the near future.
