s9w··on How to convert an enum to string in C++
1) all these enums should be enum class 2) magic_enum is very limited. Not only slow but the limit of enum values makes it impractical to use for something like vulkan
s9w··on How to Use AI to Do Stuff: An Opinionated Guide
> These systems are built around models that have built-in biases [...] (if you ask it to create a picture of an entrepreneur, for example, you will likely see more pictures featuring men than women

How is that a bias? That's reality

most people don't know that stars are bought

Those uninformed C++ bashes are misplaced
s9w··on No Congress 2022: Looking forward to decentralized alternatives and Camp 2023
the whole point is that covid is no big deal. It's at best a minor flu at this point. People "contracting Covid" are irrelevant
s9w··on Python 3.11 vs 3.10 performance
12ms to 6ms is not 2xfaster. It's 1x faster or 2 times as fast
s9w··on Ask HN: Learn C++11 or Rust in 2022?
If you go for C++, don't start lower than C++20. MSVC has a chunk of C++23 done already

I wonder if the headline would be the same if another group was the target.
s9w··on Lex Fridman at the Joe Rogan Experience [audio]
all non-leftie viewpoints are banned here, so that point is moot. Also he is right, this is a blatant call for censorship.

They died because of the tube, not because of some PCR test with a CT of 40 said positive.
s9w··on Compare AsciiDoc and Markdown
Can't be parsed by pandoc. As much as it may be the better format, that makes it unusable.
s9w··on OpenGL Superbible
Direct State Access is 4.5 and changes code layout quite a bit
s9w··on The Largest Gypsy Ghetto in Europe – Stolipinovo, Bulgaria (2016)
No it didn't. But the lovely guy in this thread who called me a racist did. And the 2-5 trump posts per day do. And the guys who openly call for violence do. The guidelines have been ignored or months now, leaving nothing of value on this site.

I will continue to do what I do. I recommend that you ban me though.

s9w··on The Largest Gypsy Ghetto in Europe – Stolipinovo, Bulgaria (2016)
Your assessment doesn't hold any water. It's a bunch of Americans virtue signalling about how good they are, talking about a problem they don't know. Hence my inquiry about that. Because as a European, I know that the things said in this thread are objectively not true.
s9w··on The Treehouse Is De-Plaformed
That statement is completely true as backed by many mortality numbers around the world. Just as an example, here's official mortality numbers for Germany: https://www.destatis.de/DE/Themen/Querschnitt/Corona/_Grafik...
s9w··on Ongoing Death of Free Speech: ACLU Lawyer Cheers Suppression of a New Book
submission was [dead] ed but brought back. Maybe that's why it's missing in some databases.

72ha99ahsbc7's comment is [dead]ed. Everyone should enable the setting to see [dead]ed comments. Not rarely those are the best.

s9w··on [dead]
Repost of the killed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25102858 . While literally having anti-trump posts on the frontpage, pro-free speech is [dead]ed. It's back for the moment though.

Nah, still showing up on bing.

s9w··on Zuckerberg defends not suspending ex-Trump aide Bannon from Facebook: recording
> he urged the beheading of two senior U.S. officials

that's a lie

s9w··on Benford's “law” does not detect voting fraud
No politics, so this shouldn't be here. But man... of all the things going around, the two HN posts trying to counter the fraid claims focus on the absolute weakest of those arguments. No one takes the Benford arguments seriously. People take the weakest arguments, "debunk" them and declare everything as bs. Which it might be, but other findings are orders of magnitude more significant than this.
s9w··on The next fleet of Breitbarts is already raking in ad dollars
You think he actually wants to kill two people, behead them and put their rotting heads on pikes. One left and one right of the entrance of the white house. That is a completely reasonable interpretation of what he said?
s9w··on Ask HN: Wouldn't it be great to be able to follow fellow HN users?
People already follow others to downvote. I suggest the opposite: Remove all usernames and points, making it more like 4chan. I think that could be quite valuable.
s9w··on Debunking an election fraud claim using open data and Dolt

s9w··on Biden Wins Presidency, Ending Four Tumultuous Years Under Trump
I dig the HN fanfiction these days. refusing to leave? He's the president. The next one has not been decided.
s9w··on Biden Defeats Trump to Become Next President
Exactly, which is not the title in this submission - which is editorializing and misleading.
