Once again "bitch" is an offensive word.

FINE. Turnabout is fair play. I think you understood precisely the point I was attempting to make specifically by phrasing it the way I did. If your analysis of communication is to unpack and divine words back to one specific meaning but not others, how do you communicate[1]? How do you know which meaning to take issue with (that's a genuine question if you care to bother) and which ones are okay? Is it just words that at some point in history been taken and used abusively? Or are they words with novelty that only now are problematic because some group has taken it upon themselves to designate them as such? How do they do so? What do they use to decide this and how can the rest of us buy tickets to ride this clue(less)train?

You are also trivialising the real suffering and daily struggles of mentally handicapped people by comparing it to the "struggle" of bald people

By insisting that we pay a bit more respect to the precedent that language is fluid, mutable and variable and questioning the behavior of linking fringe pejorative with social vernacular (or spoken like a layperson: "What, because I said words have more than one meaning and using a word by its dictionary definition in the fully correct and appropriate context does not mean I am de facto calling someone with mental disability "retarded"?)

No. Not at all. But something familiar about the accusation you've just lobbed at me, plus that utterly worthless comment about "living in the past", indicates to me I'm not going to get very far with this. So I'm gonna just go ahead and bow out right now.

Unprocessed corn isn't exactly bad for you--yes, it is a cereal and thus has large quantities of carbohydrates, but it has plenty of fat, proteins and fiber as well. It's when the corn gets processed, and the fat, proteins, and fiber get removed that it starts being unhealthy. In the end it's the American preference for sweet, bland foods that causes most of these problems.

Have you actually spent time in Raleigh or Atlanta? The idea that trans people are getting murdered in the street is just not correct.

I'm gay and I've spent a lot of fun nights in Boise, Idaho because a gay friend of mine lives there with her wife. We always have a blast. She has a great career in Boise and I don't think she's experienced more homophobia there than when she lived in New York City. (I know she had at least one bad experience in NYC as she was cat-called once right before I met her and her then girlfriend.)

I think a lot of coastal elites have no idea what they're talking about when they speak about the extreme danger of being different in middle-America.

If you haven't heard of this one, it has a similar concept, but you're not defining encyclopedia entries. You're laying out the history in chronological order and introducing events along the way to fill it in.

EDIT: You don't lay it out chronologically. You specify a start and end (rise of the new king and start of an empire, fall of the empire), then fill in the gaps. The effect is that there's a chronology of the world laid out for you to observe and build on. My original comment wasn't clear on this.

A good writer has the responsibility of choosing the correct word. That's what makes them good.

I apologize if my use of some words offended you. My reasoning is that words that trigger specific memories and experiences in a person are more hurtful.

The world is not a perfect place but it is constantly changing and evolving. I keep working hard to use words that are not hurtful.

Sorry to see that you were downvoted. Poe's law[1] strikes again!
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law
It's not guaranteed (as in "money back" or whatever). It's merely required by ISO C for conformance.

If a struct is declared like this:

struct foo {
whatever_type_t first_member;
// ...
};

then an array of this type can also be declared:

struct foo farray[42];

A conforming ISO C implementation has to ensure that farray[1].first_member, and farray[2].first_member, and so on, are all allocated such that they meet the alignment requirements fro whatever_type_t. It cannot be that farray[0].first_member is accessible, but farray[1].first_member throws an alignment exception or whatever. Programmers should not have to do anything to ensure this.

So, if necessary, padding is added at the end of struct foo to make this alignment happen.

In practice, compilers add the padding even if it's not required for at least two reasons: performance (misaligned accesses, though supported, may be slow) and compatibility (having the structure look the same across multiple architectures supported by the same compiler, at most modulo byte order).

> You should also be using the fixed-width numeric types.

I'm not aware that C provides any other, currently. Though you can simulate them with libraries, of course.
> Sure, I pointed you that your strategy is based on flooding discussion by low quality statements.

No, you didn't. You simply resorted to name calling because you disagreed with what I had to say. Or at least thats how it looks to me, but I admit that you might come at a different conclusion yourself and that is reasonable. I just wanted to point this out to you; but we seem to disagree. I am leaving it at that. Thanks!

I get what you're saying - kids aren't code to be optimized with objective best practices. But on the other hand, it's very head-in-the-sand to think that parenting with the best intentions and love will always have a positive outcome. It's a good course of action for guaranteeing a happy childhood, but unless you're so affluent that your kids are assured a life on easy street, happiness isn't your only responsibility as a parent.

May be that love and fun is all the kids need to be both happy and successful, but maybe not: I had very hippyish parents who didn't go much beyond love and fun and blind support. Myself and my two siblings all had very happy childhoods, but only my very self-motivated sister wound up finding success and happiness as an adult right off the bat, took me a decade to get my footing, and my brother - who was unquestionably the happiest and most loved kid in the family - is a broken and miserable adult.

Ultimately it comes down to regarding your kids as individuals and tailoring your parenting to each kid, which is what this study is trying to help parents do w.r.t. smart kids.

I think the consumers of the open source software must be responsible to ensure financial health of those projects and not tax payers. Simply because in such cases more useful projects would thrive where as bad projects would die out quickly.

>you have a right to speak out and proclaim your innocence.

This isn't so clear. You have a right to not proclaim your guilt, but you exercise that right by not speaking. The right against self-incrimination does not permit lying.

The law has long recognized certain situations in which you're not allowed to lie - while making sworn testimony, while being interviewed by federal investigators, etc. People can and do go to jail for lying to the effect of "I didn't do it" even if the trial on the original charge doesn't result in a conviction.

Speaking to the public in a way that influences securities prices is another one of those situations where lying is illegal.

One problem with this type of idea is that kids think in very different ways than you. This question could lead to your son thinking you don't trust that he's working since you're constantly questioning him. I've found I can usually tell when my kids have actually worked hard on something or slacked off so if they're slacking I find other ways of talking about it.

I'm not saying this is a bad idea for sure but I've run in so many cases with my kids where my "clever" way of communicating with them came back and bit me in ways I never would have considered. And since they can't necessarily communicate things well it could fester or direct his thinking in directions you won't know about for a long time.

Parenting is hard. :)
> Our engineers make about the same as American engineers ... the McDonalds workers, shop clerks etc make several times the hourly salary of an American McDonalds worker.

This is not accurate. I've occasionally researched positions in Europe, and while I haven't looked at Denmark specifically, mid/senior-level software developer salaries tend to be around $45,000/year (or even less), which, before taxes, is about half of what's typical here in the Boston area, and a quarter of what's typical in the SF Bay Area.[0] Many European developers emigrate to America; next to no American developers emigrate to Europe.

I don't know what Danish fast food employees and store clerks earn, but I doubt they make more than software developers ($45,000/year is about $22/hour), so they definitely don't make "several times" what their American equivalents do.

Depending on the local job market and cost of living, a typical American entry-level salary for a new employee is about $10 (9 EUR)/hour, while a junior manager or semi-skilled worker would make $15-$25 (13.50-23.50 EUR), and a senior hourly manager or skilled worker would make at least $20 (18 EUR). Unionized and/or government employees make substantially more (especially factoring in benefits), although those positions are a lot harder to come by.

Keep in mind that the tax rates are far lower, possibly even negative depending on credits,[1][2] prices are also much lower, and, contrary to European popular belief, there actually are extensive federal and state social welfare programs for the low-income, including free healthcare.[3]

Now, I wouldn't say that people in those positions are making what I as an upper-middle-class professional consider a "good" living, but it's fairly comparable to other first-world countries. There's a reason the only Americans working in Europe are rich expats, not migrant workers sweeping floors and waiting tables.

Relatively speaking, the main socioeconomic problems in America are not so much that any of the people who have jobs are uniquely poorly-compensated, so much as chronic unemployment, downwards social mobility, the factors that contribute to those,[4] and that middle-class families must now take on a small fortune in real estate and college debt to raise children to the same middle-class standard of living.[5]

[0] The only place I've looked at that's even somewhat competitive salary-wise is Switzerland, the one country in Western Europe that's even more capitalist than America is. Also the only country I've ever visited where (driving 175 km or so) I never saw any visible poverty at all (or anywhere that didn't appear to be both prosperous and growing).

I don't think he's 'rotten' and I don't think I'm 'superior', and I only claimed that he has more 'flexible' morals, and that having 'flexible' morals makes paying one's mortgage easier, which it does.

> Morals are not set in stone. Everybody has different morals.

Indeed. Some people make the personal choice to "evolve" above the dog-eat-dog-world mentality, for example. As another example, while some people stab their prey with their forks, others choose to be vegan.

> One might argue that people who fall for this kind of crap are very, very stupid. Being weak means...

I'm not going to argue with you because we clearly have different morals, as you've pointed out. I don't think ripping people off is okay just because they are "stupid". Would it be even more okay if they were diagnosably mentally challenged?

But if you actually believe that the only people who fall this stuff are "stupid" people, and by that you mean that they are exceptional or abnormal, then you haven't spent very long in the affiliate marketing industry.

Pretty much everyone falls for 'scams'. My sister signed up to a cell phone rebill, her friend bought a diet pill rebill, my grandmother pays her 'financial manager' an obscene amount, and I just bought a book off amazon that claimed to be a "Thai translation" but was actually sold by a seller who has translated everything in the public domain into every language using Google translate and then prints them on-demand (Get your shit together, Bezos).

I know a lot of people like Jesse Wilms, and perhaps the saddest part of it to me is that they are extremely human and very normal. The potential for his moral flexibility exists in all of us, given the right circumstances and surroundings.

Even with good tooling the current restrictions on Let's Encrypt make it impossible, you can batch many subdomains into 1 request however if you're requesting subdomains by customer username or similar, you can't exactly wait around to batch them. And you can only make a maximum of 5 requests per week, so unless you're incredibly tiny it's non-viable.

I don't understand why Let's Encrypt can't consider validation of the root domain good enough to produce a wildcard. Email at the root domain is what most providers use, not exactly much worse.

EDIT: It's now 20 per domain per week, better but still not viable for even a mid scale operation. A single wildcard is a much nicer and easier to maintain solution in any case.

Semantic Scholar (no notifications) is good for manually finding things

Google Scholar notifies you when your papers get citations... Unfortunately they don't have a way for you to get notified if the paper is not yours.. so I made a few fake accounts that add papers to the library as if they are the author and then I set up a forwarding to my email. (really wish they would just expand the notified of citations feature to your library and not just your papers but whatever)
Yeah until two hours later when you notice it messed with random shit it wasn't even supposed to touch. At least, that was my experience; I suppose it depends on how common your setup happens to be.

I still love Let's Encrypt for its principle, but I don't dare running it in full auto mode anymore. A few custom shell scripts get the job done easily enough.

The Internet was supposed to help by breaking down information barriers but the effect seems to have been extremely minimal. I can now learn almost anything instantly in Nowhere, West Virginia but that doesn't seem to matter.

It shows two things I think:

(1) The Internet has yet to replicate anything close to the "bandwidth" of in-person interaction.

(2) Capital for virtually any endeavor is geographically concentrated and the Internet does not seem to have changed that much.
I would personally interpret "mobile first" to imply native apps in just about any context

You're part of a growing minority who interprets it that way. Google search results for "mobile first" are still very web-focused today, but I'm concerned the native app community will usurp that phrase, confusing everybody.

And while I'm speaking for the web community, apologies for usurping the word "responsive" and confusing everybody.

ISO C has codified the C tradition that structure members are laid out in the order in which they are declared. The first member has the same address as the struct itself. The remaining members are then at increasing offsets from that address.

Languages which allow compilers to reorganize structures for better packing (like, I think, Ada) have to have some provision to disable that in cases when the programmer requires the structure to conform to some externally imposed layout.

I wish we could say that C does this to adhere to some principle of being predictable and obeying the programmer literally. However, that cannot be claimed with a straight face by anyone who knows anything about this language, in which you can cause undefined behavior just by giving the code a dirty look in the text editor window. What C gives you with predictable structure layout, it immediately takes away with scrambled evaluation order of function arguments and constituent subexpressions of most operators.

Anyway, one consequence of a predictable layout is that C programs can do punning among structures which share a common initial sequence of members. One form of such punning is even required by ISO C to work: when a union is made of such struct types. Related hacks not involving binding through a union, however, also broadly work in de facto practice.

Your implicit assumption is that your kid will not succeed at something athletically no matter how hard they try. If a kid dreams of going for the NBA or the NFL, why not let them try?
