I just read it myself. For someone new to C, it was great to find a concise source of info on things in the modern C ecosystem and toolchain. For example, I appreciated the chapters on Autotools and Python bindings. Of course this info is available elsewhere, but it's great to have a short guide that covers the basics.

One warning on the Python chapter, though. It is Python 2. But, it was a nice intro and got me reading the Python3 C API docs to see what changed.

> There is a larger chance you will lose money than break even or win money.

The games are setup to take a percentage. It varies with the game. Slots are some of the worst, IIRC the house take is 10%. Pai Gow poker (depending on house commission and exact rules) is 1%-3%.

If you make bets commiserate with the size of your gambling budget then your expected loss over the long term for slots is 10%. Your expected loss for Pai Gow is 1%-3%.

If you make larger bets than you should given your bankroll or play bad strategies you can lose a lot more. If you get lucky and quit immediately after a big win you can come out ahead.

The house doesn't give a fig if the average person loses or wins; they just need people to play. They are well aware a significant number of people will walk away winners and that makes them happy: it's great marketing!
I remember reading at least one case in the US where a home grow operation was discovered by the amount of power it was using, too -- the electric company noticed.

Literally none of these arguments are valid in case of the actual civil unrest situations which happen, whether it's LA riots of 1992 or Somalia.

Clearly if you're planning to hold a big cache of firearms, then that becomes an incentive for other gangs to go after you, but most of the time, there are plenty of unarmed people out there which present an easier target.

The aim of firearm ownership at the time of civil unrest is to not be an easier target for bad elements. Somehow implying that by owning firearms you become a bigger target than an unarmed household is ridiculously dishonest statement.
If you start out making much less than other candidates, even after many years of CoL raises you will still be making less.

Okay, I now see what you are saying. So let's take apart those two points.

You might be asking how could replacing a $25 worker with a $2 worker -- foreign, domestic, etc doesn't matter -- have no economic impact on jobs and wages?

So one might argue the following: The company paying the $25 to the first worker, now has $23 in profit/savings. What happens to that money?

They might reinvest it, they might pay it out as dividends, or they might use it for an acquisition, or they might reduce the cost of the good sold (passing it to the consumer). And so on.

Whatever they choose to do will end up creating more jobs and boosting wages in something else.

Now, you might say -- and I won't disagree -- that if they pay them out as dividends then the kinds of jobs they will produce is ship building for yachts, and massages for rich people and perhaps you don't agree with that kind of redistribution.

That may be, but purely from an economic perspective the net impact of jobs and wages has not been significant.
Re the replies that mention the UK.

Since 2014, tax residency in the UK is now quite a complicated algorithm (see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rdr3-statutory-re...). Provided you keep your work-days in the UK low, and can demonstrate workdays outside of the UK, it's possible to avoid tax residency.

However, it's worth considering the benefit of being a UK tax resident is that you accrue National Insurance contributions (even if the amount of those contributions is zero!), which in turn qualify you for a state pension.

I didn't even saw that. good trick :)
Maybe I am not seeing the same articles as you.

- 5 best open source board games to play online.

- 9 ASCII games you'll want to play again.

- 3 open source python shells.

So basically just a blog that creates lists. We see this a bit too often on YouTube. I am not sure we need more boingboing/BuzzFeed style of blog spam..
My careful reading of the situation tells me that Jack Ma was speaking a message of peace because it is in his current economic interest. The other side of the quote is that war is also an economic interest. I find it troubling that the Chinese power-elite are thinking and talking in these terms.[1]

That's true, but even only using setState and props, the data flow in React is much more explicit than that of Angular. My point was that React encourages more maintainable code by default, even without other libraries.
I really feel welcomed here. I should have done this earlier, but better late than never.
Projects like this will eventually produce an airborne commuter vehicle, but:

* It will resemble a scaled-up quadcopter (for which there's already an early prototype: http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/8/11882458/ehang-passenger-qu...)

* It will only happen when batteries are much better than they are now -- more energy density, longer lived, more efficient.

The bottom line is that this idea, like so many around us, is waiting for decent batteries to be invented.
The flu kills more people every week than "radical Islam" has killed in the last decade; but yes, keep telling us how much of an existential threat to Western civilization it is. Us "enlightened individuals" are lecturing you because you are terrible at evaluating risk and are afraid of your own shadow.
Take, for example, the declaration parsing example and honestly tell me that this isn't crappy code by any modern standard:

enum { NAME, PARENS, BRACKETS };
void dcl(void);
void dirdcl(void);
int gettoken(void);
int tokentype;
char token[MAXTOKEN];
char name[MAXTOKEN];
char datatype[MAXTOKEN]; /* data type = char, int, etc. */
char out[1000];

main() /* convert declaration to words */
{
while (gettoken() != EOF) { /* 1st token on line */
strcpy(datatype, token); /* is the datatype */
out[0] = '\0';
dcl(); /* parse rest of line */
if (tokentype != '\n')
printf("syntax error\n");
printf("%s: %s %s\n", name, out, datatype);
}
return 0;
}
No it's not. That's literally what I would summarise the entire article as: Google Intern's work saves over 1.5M GB per day.
Good point. I am not sure how that would work. (Any economists reading HN?)

There are two things to be said from the studies:

1. So far that doesn't seem to be significant, although I don't know if, in theory, it could get worse.

2. I wonder if that country consumes a lot of US goods, it might still end up netting a positive. (Not sure about this).
Of all of the political candidates, only Trump and Sanders spoke out against H1-B visa abuse used to depress wages. (Former) Presidential Candidate Senator Marco Rubio of Florida wanted to triple the number of H1-B visas to 250,000 from 85,000 and accepted $2 million donation from Disney.

Disney of Florida had recently replaced 250 US IT workers with foreigners on H1-B. Trump especially spoke out against this move. Clinton was silent.

Clinton accepted $675,000 from Goldman for 3 talks. Wall Street banks like Goldman hire lots of high tech computer programmers and it is in their interest to depress wages as well as those firms in Silicon Valley. Trump was right that Clinton was bought off (she could have donated the $675,000 for charity as President Obama did with his Nobel Peace Prize Award money).

Incidentally, HP head and Republican Meg Whitman came out against Trump and she mentioned other reasons, but her true motivation is that HP would have to start paying market wages for all of its high tech workers if Trump won.
>Fat people can't manage to do that for more than a few weeks.

That's the problem. Lack of self control. Generally a result of psychological issues such as comfort eating or straight up food addiction. Doesn't change the fact that if those people were disciplined enough, they could still become healthy.
Reminds me of the first chapter of Kevin Mitnick's 'The Art of Intrusion' [0]. The first chapter tells the story of (I believe) American programmers who reverse engineer the PRNG on a poker machine, so they could predict when the machine would deal the next royal flush.

>>Not to mention the psychological fatigue that totally saps you before you even get to work.

I doubt this is because of pollution, noise or dust. Most people are stressed for the same reasons why any millennial traveling between Mountain View and SF is stressed- Rents, High home prices, Home expenses etc etc.
Oh, that is true.

The unhired foreigner would not end up taking taxes.

I wonder how the math works.

If the company has to pay the extra tax hit when laying off the American, that might let the company decide if it is worth it.

The last time I saw this discussed, there was discussion about whether the drugs caused permanent sterilization for a subset of men, and how large the subset might be.

It's also worth noting that the effects of current birth control on women are bad enough that a decent fraction of women can't use one or more methods. There's still substantial room for improvement on the side effects that women face.

I would never steal popcorn from the theater, but I would definitely smuggle in my own bag of it.

The theater house rule is that no outside food or drink is allowed, but clearly the only purpose of this rule is to support the brazen markup of food and drink at the theater's own concession stand.

I find it difficult to find any harm to the theater in eating smuggled popcorn rather than popcorn purchased on the premises, even when playing Devil's advocate as hard as I possibly can. My worst attempts even end up replacing 90% of the theater employees with a row of vending machines and a subway-style turnstile.
I've done this with bell peppers and its a lot of fun. Ask your local deli or bakery for free food grade five gallon buckets. Mine smelled like frosting which was not necessarily a problem. You probably don't want to reuse a bucket that held paint thinner or weed killer in its previous life.

Peppers not being illegal, I didn't need all the indoor lighting or air filters or automation, I just grew them outside in the back yard where anyone could see them.

One year I tried drip irrigation mostly to discover I need to weed and harvest daily and automatic watering means I'd skip that to my detriment also rodents like the taste of drip irrigation tube, the effort to keep it running exceeded the effort saved over simply hand watering.

You can buy "container gardening dirt" that contains weird mysterious substances that hold water so you supposedly don't have to water as often, I found they grow a crop of mold and moss which lowers or eliminates production. Of course if you live in a desert maybe humidity isn't a problem.

It is not rocket surgery for even a noob wood-butcher to turn some 8 foot long cedar planks and some posts into attractive looking planters holding IIRC 7 buckets per planter with plenty of drainage. Cheaper wood is too expensive to use because it rots quickly. My cedar planters are like a decade old and still look new(ish).

The problem with indoor lighting is I ran the numbers on an "Aerogarden" product and it works financially for basil (and apparently weed) but not crops like lettuce. The problem then becomes what do I do with an infinite supply of normally expensive fresh basil? Its possible to get tired of pesto although initially it sounds impossible.
I'll disagree here. Most security flaws can be completely avoided by the use of auto-managed resources and a comprehensive type checking. On that order.

Basically the bugs normally claimed to be in application logic, that are mostly uncovered or extraneous corner cases are prime time for compiler verification.

Sorting sorted arrays in Swift
The irony of tech interviews is that after a couple years most of the engineers on the other side of the fence would never pass their own tech interview without studying for months. The average guy doesn't know the difference between all the sorting algorithms off the top of his head, or how to balance a red-black tree if you corner him out of the blue one day.
The contrapositive is "if war doesn't start, trade doesn't stop."
Oh no, not the "starvation effect" nonsense again. That's been thoroughly debunked.
Interestingly, visual programming and tree-editing has actually gained a lot of traction with non-programmers. Tons of the big video and audio production suites (off the top of my head: Houdini, Max MSP, Grasshopper, Nuke, Blender's node editor) are DAG-based authoring tools, and are a joy to use.

As a person interested in programming language design, that makes me wonder if visual programming might be the sort of thing that we as programmers don't use because it is, in some sense, "beneath us". You can argue that the complexity of a standard Max patch is much lower than your production system, but many production systems are "render database to JSON", which seems far less complex than, say, a feature film, many of which are made almost entirely in Houdini.

No, it hasn't, which is why yoyo dieting is so harmful and why refeeding people with anorexia is done so carefully.
While I agree that there are some underlying social and economic issues that contribute to obesity, that doesn't mean technology can't help. There are plenty of ways even simple apps can be used to improve people's awareness of what they're eating, help them make better choices, and provide incentives to eat better and get more exercise.

To address a couple of the things you mentioned:

Better education: It's true -- when it comes to health and nutrition, there's a lot of misinformation out there and a general lack of knowledge of even the basics. Most people are not great at determining how many calories are in a meal, whether something is good for them, or even just remembering what they've eaten on a given day. There's a huge opportunity for technology to help people figure this stuff out and learn to make better choices (full disclosure: I work on an app in this space [1]).

Taxing unhealthy food: While we can't levy taxes, there are ways to provide similar incentives, for example by automatically giving people cash rebates when they purchase healthy food [2].

Can the tech industry solve obesity on its own? Maybe not. But I'd argue that trying to address what we can is a better option than throwing up our hands and saying it's a social problem.

When the SuperCollider project shut down I was fortunate enough to be able to use H1B hire a japanese physicist who worked on it. Cost $20K IIRC. One of best hires I ever made, his work ended up creating about 20 high paid permanent jobs in our company.

I would have happily given him citizenship, was just glad he didn't end up working for our over-seas competitors.
I love how the technology label of the age is used throughout culture to indicate "modernity" and "cool". Everything today must be "digital" (whether that makes sense or not -- consider the rush to "digital voting" in the US in 2001 even though it only, and only potentially, addressed one perceived problem and introduced plenty of others).

You can see this happening to trains in the 1920s and thirties, when the high speed trains of the era adopted a "flyer" moniker (e.g. the "Philadelphia Flyer" express train -- and now "Flyer" apparently lives on as the name of a model train system). The term arrived as flight began to take over as the cool new transportation.

In the Atomic age we had "atomic fireball" cinnamon balls and the "bikini" swimsuit.

But my favorite of all is a toy waggon from the 1930s called the "radio flyer" which, though a simple kids' wagon, managed to adopt two high tech trends in one name, though it had nothing to do with either.
"The fact is there are women doing great work and talks. Make noise about them."

And here is a woman who did great work, and Google is making noise about her. Why is this particular case not valid, when it's doing exactly what you recommend?
I don't see an obvious reason - that's all information that's available on compile-time, there should be no additional run-time cost - or what are you implying?
As this list is of open source books, no...K&R C shouldn't be on there.
There has been some interesting work on the Foobar 2000 "Mobile App", including a version of Foobar 2000 in the Windows 10 Store. It's interesting to see the work done on that version. Supposedly there was going to be a Patreon or Kickstarter to push that work even further but I don't recall what happened there or didn't follow it well enough.

Also, I think that effort was before the modern Windows desktop "bridge" and it would be interesting to see an attempt at a "best of all worlds" version for the Windows 10 Store that supported all of the Desktop features and all of the "Mobile" features (such as Windows 8+ background audio controls).
Yes, but then don't talk about "freedom to use"... if something else must be done before that usage.
Hmm, it doesn't let me repost the same link...
Yes, but the point is you wouldn't be aware unless he released the info. He gave individual users an option to protect themselves in the absence of a patch from MS.
Regardless of how long your life is, I would argue that an obese person's life is probably lower quality than a healthy persons life. I'll take quality of quantity myself.

The games are supposed to be "random" but the payout rules make the difference. In craps you get even money from bets on the pass line. But the chance you'll win such a bet is about 47% IIRC, not 50%. If you look around the craps table you'll see that the bet payouts don't match the odds of winning, and that's the vigorish for the house.

When casinos host Texas Hold'em, they simply collect a vigorish from the pot. The casino is not otherwise involved in the poker hands.
