Isn’t that the entire point of higher order programming languages?

What are "higher order programming languages"? Did you mean "higher level programming languages"? If so, no, the point is that you can program more abstractly, almost always at the expense of performance.

EDIT: Downvoters, I'm terribly curious which of these points you disagree with? Do you believe higher level languages (like Python, JS, or even Go) are faster than lower level languages (like C, C++, etc)? Or do you believe that HLLs are actually faster (or meant to be faster) than LLLs? Or maybe you are downvoting because I don't know what a "higher order language" is?

The downvotes are because you have chosen to make an irritating pedantic point about word use when the meaning was entirely clear in context.

Wasn't trying to be pedantic; whatever is "entirely clear in context" is not entirely clear to me at all. Did he use a term that I'm unfamiliar with or did he use the term I'm familiar with in a way that is incongruent with my understanding?

Informally, there is no difference between higher order programming languages and higher level programming languages.

Thanks for the explanation; I hadn't heard that term before. :)

Isn’t most/all of Boeing’s development done overseas now? I wonder if that divide makes it easier to assume this is okay.

I'm really confused, as the author talks about their "searing ear pain" and then says

> When I activated the noise cancelling button, things got worse. The ear pain got more severe and so did the pain close to my jaw.

I'm really confused as to the claim being specific to noise cancelling headphones given the ear pain happened when that feature was off.

I thought the same.

I didn't try those specific headphones but another pair I had always had noise cancelation on. The button to turn NC on was actually just turning it up higher.

That "No Thanks, I hate to save money" is a classic dark pattern designed to manipulate people. There's tons of articles about how damaging they are to users perceptions of the interactions (Example https://www.nngroup.com/articles/shaming-users/ ). I honestly closed the browser and didn't give the content any look due to it, as if you're going to try to shame me into giving you my email address, you're not going to play fair with anything else.

Thank you for your opinion. I agree, and will rephrase it later today. I have tried to be very forthcoming about what the site is about, sticking my affiliate link disclaimer on top of every page, so I sincerely do not want to have a popup that makes people vomit!

3D Touch to quick jump to a app with a notification buried in a folder is amazing

Explosives usually look similar to organic matter on xrays

Can confirm.

I often travel with a big Ziploc bag of stickers (life of a Developer Evangelist). Have started removing it from my bag for security because it usually triggers a search.

Why not stick them on your back and just peel one off when you need to give one off?

Twizzler is not organic matter is it?

Scarlet letter....

Indeed, and if corruption detection is your goal, a checksum is the proper solution. Authentication is an expensive and roundabout way to do simple corruption detection.

This was my thought as well. I usually buy games from HN to support people trying things, but the idea of spending uncomfortable time in the headset for an idle game just puts me off. If I'm going to play an idle game, it'll be while the tv is on and I'm in comfy clothes or in bed.

Sure, cause the next step is a Threatening Letter for too small of a tip....
