I'm sure many will disagree, but bitwise operators and operations should be common knowledge for programmers. Why? Because it is linked to understanding how data is stored and manipulated by computers. Computer scientists and Engineers generally understand these operators, hackers and "coders" do not.

True story:

I once received a check to “The Estate Of <<my father>>”. I tried depositing it into a regular joint bank account that was under my name and my father’s name, and they rejected it and said I needed to open an account explicitly under my father’s estate, since you c can’t deposit a check to “The Estate Of...” to an account under the name of the deceased. I did the paperwork (my state allows you to file a Small Estate Affadavit in lieu of going through probate in some cases, mine included) and deposited the check.

Then I receive another check to “The Estate Of...” and take that to the bank, and they deposit it into the wrong account. Words cannot adequately express how I felt about this...
This. I used to smoke pot every day (couple bowls, nothing major) and my lungs were shot. Couldn't run without wheezing, always had a cough with mucus. Just look at the bowl you've burned the pot in. THC is sticky and thick, and makes a horrible resin when burned. Of course that gets in your lungs to a degree.

That's essentially what I'm saying. There is a longer game at play. I only state they probably want Apple to do it because they helped Apple port iTunes to the Windows Store. It's not a play for iMessage but a longer play.
I was too extreme with the term 'get shut down', which is obviously impossible as you say. I meant 'get action taken against them' which I argue will happen far before PiHole picks up in popular use.
Thanks, that neat. But how would you build a list of arbitrary length and free it later? You'll use pointers, one way or another. The only way to avoid pointers I could imagine is to use stack with recursion, but that's completely crazy and limited programming style.
Why not only use volatile memory then? That even allows you to have a redial feature.
I do not think it is just engineers. Anybody raised for 15 years being told what to work on by their teachers, is not easily going to set his own goals. He has been conditioned to waiting for someone else to do that.

The ones more likely to overcome this bias, are students who have a close relationship with an entrepreneurial parent or other role model. They may pick up the mentality of setting their own goals.

Furthermore, their peers may not be entrepreneurial either.

They also need to get used to the idea that there rarely definite yes/no answers to business questions. Real-life questions do not often come out of a book.
It seems like it would be really simple to know what's in your food by simply testing for it right?

If you're telling me that X substance is in some good that is freely available then it should be easy to prove it. You can catch the EPA/FDA red handed by simply doing some independent testing. The only reason I trust the EPA/FDA over the PhD you refer to is that the barrier of entry to testing something that I can buy off the shelf seems so low that lack of evidence, in this case, really hurts the accusation.

Like if I said bricks float in vegetable oil. That's trivially falsifiable.

Am I mistaken about how difficult it should be to test for glyphosate?

The health effects of glyphosate are another story, that is certainly much more difficult to prove and is a legitimate topic of discussion, especially considering how many times industry has withheld health issues in the past.
I think you could get away with swapping out upper level algorithms and systems courses and swapping in statistics and ML. I've used my OS class 0 times in my career. The class I've used the most was the second level statistics class I took for my econ minor.

TiVo currently has an ad-detecting feature. You used to have to fast forward through the ads (though at 30x speed that just took a few seconds). Now it's still not automatic, but when the commercial break comes you press channel up once and it skips perfectly to the end of the break. It's now almost as good as torrenting!
They already have leverage - the leverage of iMessage to keep people from leaving their iPhones (which, as has been mentioned, is where Apple makes a huge amount of money).

What other kind of leverage are you talking about?
I completely disagree. Quite a lot of the work done during the Green Revolution was breeding plants that were more hardy and resilient to the environment. For instance, Norman Borlaug worked on strains of wheat that were resistant to stem rust (something that had caused starvation in Mexico several years earlier). Pesticides, herbicides, nor fertilisers help with stem rust. GMOs also allow the breeding of plants that have higher yield, which is something we need if we want to feed the world.

You also have things like Golden Rice, which help people who have vitamin A deficiencies and don't have access to vitamin A sources to be able to get vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiencies kill almost a million children under 5 each year especially in South-East Asia. It is only practical to solve this problem through GMOs. (Greenpeace also protested Golden Rice, meaning they protested against programs that can save tens of millions of children. Whether or not you hold that against them is up to you, but if they want to play the "blood on your hands" game I don't see why I shouldn't.)

To be clear; pesticides, herbicides, and fertilisers are very important to agriculture and many more people would be starving without them. But the same is true of GMOs -- they are more than just "not harmful"; they are necessary.

There might also be other safety issues: if there's an emergency and the building is being evacuated, I want to have my shoes on my feet (or at least under my desk), not on the other side of the building.

Also, some people might need to wear shoes for medical reasons (e.g., they may need orthotics to be able to walk without pain).

> “We want our office to feel like a home, to be comfortable and authentic,” said Josh Reeves, CEO and co-founder of Gusto, which helps small businesses manage payrolls, benefits and human resources. “We started Gusto in a house in Palo Alto and had a no-shoe policy there, and we all grew up in shoeless houses.”

In my own home, I'm free to wear or not wear shoes as I wish. If I'm being forced by management to conform to what their home is like, that doesn't feel like home to me.

If the founders grew up in homes where their families didn't eat meat or prayed three times a day, could they impose that on their employees too?

They don't; they probably use TSMC.
Perhaps one could say that about systems programming languages as well, including Rust. It'll be slow(er) to develop, and there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The word "systems" is increasingly relegated to a smaller fraction of the codespace than used to be; one wouldn't have considered building a high frequency trading system or a call handling system in a non C/C++ language in the mid 90's, but Java and Erlang get the job done well enough.

As always Alan Perlis said it best (in his "epigrams of programming"):

Entrepreneurship is always about achieving a non-financial goal. "The best furniture in the world", "A PC on every desk", and so on.

Making money is just a speculative side effect of doing something right.

Worse, in that context, running after money pretty much is the best guarantee not to make any.

Just think of it. A customer will not hand over his money to you, just because you run so hard after it. He will give money because he also believes that your furniture is the best in the world.

The situation is obviously different for an established corporation. They are not about producing the best furniture in the world, but about maximally milking their existing cash cow in the furniture industry. So, yes, for them the bottom line is everything.

Still, corporations also die with their cash cow. Bottom-line milking only works for a while. It will work, until it doesn't anymore.

Just did exactly this an hour ago. Much easier than trying to type in those little boxes. I can put any value I want on my glove in any format or order. The computer on the other hand will barf if I try to put 120/80 in the pulse field, or anywhere, because systolic and diastolic pressure are two different fields. Seems like a great application for relatively straightforward pattern recognition, an empty text box and a heuristic that guesses what I mean and asks for approval.

> .08 is the legal boundary.

Usually, it's the boundary between “defintiely DUI [or DWI, where these are distinguished] by BAC” and “quite probably DUI by being under the influence, for which BAC may be supporting evidence”.

> If you’re driving at .07, you have not broken the law.

That's inaccurate.
I have a couple of strategies:

1. Open the envelope and look for a pre-franked reply envelope. If there is one, stuff the junk into that and post it. Extra revenue for the postal service.

2. If it is a really persistent and annoying sender, mutilate my address and post it. This should result in it being routed back to the sender but does impose extra work on the postal service.
I hope you revisit the comments here.

In the case of Mesothelioma I believe there's a fair amount of evidence that you need both : 1) Asbestos exposure and 2) to be a smoker. This might explain why some people exposed to asbestos remain healthy.

I would think a "if (x % 2 == 1) //odd" would be within the realm of most CS applicants.
What did they usually say? I know the bitwise trick, but I would say "x % 2 == 0" if asked because it makes a lot more sense and will (almost) always compile to the exact same code.

The DUI laws mostly don't say that, anyway.

I’m not so sure that something like entrepreneurship is pure and simple. There’s more to entrepreneurship than making money. It requires a balanced set of things, as does being an engineer or an artist.

But if you’re selling something, at least you’re creating something that’s (possibly) valuable such that people are willing to pay for.

In the end, you’re creating something. Whether it’s good or bad is generally subjective. But hopefully it’s worth it.

If x is a signed type, and negative, are you sure the modulus is positive 1?

Since ISO C99, C's division operator has been required to truncate toward zero. The % operator harmonizes with that and so it yields negative remainders south of zero.

In C90, it was implementation-defined, IIRC.

You really just want to test for zero/nonzero, rather than x % 2 == 1.

IAG Cargo expands reach with new direct London to Durban service – Air Cargo
Sarcastic but within it still lies a really good point. You can go for the 'fast food' toy options - Premade, pre-themed with little scope for emergent play. Or you can go for free-form play materials with no initial set theme, but you should also layer on some scene-setting (aka 'parenting') to help your child get into the creative play mindset. Just plonking the materials down doesn't work if kids are currently primed for the fast food toy stuff.

So a direct answer to "where can I get plasticine clay avengers characters for my kids?" is 'from raw plasticine and maybe half an hour of parenting assistance'. Then you leave them to it.

I live in Toronto and bike to my university on a daily basis. If helmets were mandatory here I wouldn't, and if I wasn't I probably wouldn't even own a bike. I also bike recreationally to nice parks and stuff - stuff I wouldn't be doing since I wouldn't have purchased a good bike in the first place.

I've tried to explain why below, but the real point is just "from personal experience I can't image it isn't detering people from riding bikes".

The main reason a helmet is such a problem is just convenience. A bike, like a car, I can just lock up wherever I go. The helmet I would have to carry around with me all day. That makes whole day just slightly more inconvenient, and it's honestly just not worth it to me.

The second is that wearing a helmet makes me feel substantially less safe. There are two direct reasons that I can articulate for this, but I'm not sure they fully explain the effect. There are also statistics that support me, showing that wearing a helmet is correlated with a increase in collisions.

The first reason is wearing a helmet substantialy impedes my hearing. This is probably a bit foreign to people who are use to driving, but hearing is incredibly useful for knowing when a car/truck/bus/etc is coming up behind me. A helmet increases wind noises to the point where the signal is much less useful, I'm not confident I will always hear a car in time to react with one on, and I'm worse at pinpointing the location. Incidentally I find the lack of sound when driving fairly disturbing and scary, since I'm so used to being able to use it.

The second is that the extra weight on my head seems to make looking around take more psychological effort, so I end up doing it best, so I end up having less awarness of cars around me. This is a rather surprising (to me) effect, but I'm certain it's real. Of course it's not the end of the world because I do still make substantial effort to look around, it's just epsilon less often which makes me epsilon less safe.

> Jeff Bezos doesn't need to work a single day for the rest of his life.

That's an interesting way to suggest that I should take what Bezos says even more seriously. He's worth $131 billion on paper and yet he's still working so hard and pushing to accomplish so much more.

> So people "take it cynically", because it is very easy to give advice from a position where you don't have to take it. Some of us have bills to pay and families to raise.

So you mean just like Bezos in the past - the first 40 years of his life - before Amazon survived several near death experiences, narrowly avoided going bankrupt, somehow survived Walmart's extreme dominance of retail (sales 2004: Walmart $285b, Amazon $7b; 40x), and after a decade plus finally brought his paper wealth to a sustainable level such that it wasn't susceptible to disappearing in a fiery heap and being obliterated by competitors that were all massively larger than Amazon. Whew, Bezos practically had billionaire status handed to him.

Someone remotely close to being smart would instead route to someplace he doesn't live, for starters. And it doesn't say anything about credit card fraud, which would be much wiser rather than check fraud (in the context of breaking the law here) since there is much less recorded evidence.
