Driving home, reach for phone in the other seat, unlock, go to your contact (you remember the phonebook position of your frequent contacts), choose send sms, type the message fairly quickly, send.
This could all be done fast and reliable without one look, perhaps one last glance before sending to make sure it looks right.
This would result in incessant phone calls.

That's purely hypothetical, of course, because no one would take a job at that company.

An alternative could be to guarantee that the first two elements of the data structure are next and prev pointers. This way the implementation can just assume the first 8 or 16 bytes (depending on sizeof(void*)) are the next/prev addresses. Then the same set of functions can work with everything that looks like a linked list. Another option is to have a "struct list" that contains the information needed, and the API allows, when you initialize the list, to say how much space you want starting at "node->data". This way the node is always over-allocated by the library, and when you want to manipulate the list items you cast node->data to your privata data structure.
Amazingly, it does compile. I believe the declaration that looks as though it shouldn't (because T1 isn't defined) compiles as a function pointer declaration, where the first T1 is the name of the variable defined and the second is, in syntactic terms, the name of the function. With the typedef commented out, you can delete the second T1 on that line.

Note that the type of a variable defaults to int in C, so you can write 'const a' instead of 'const int a'. The return type of a function also defaults to int.

Actually, in most of the world we use pretty much just metric screws. It’s always bloody annoying to occasionally have to integrate some piece of equipment that we have to specially get in UNC or other imperial screws for.

As for Intel chips, while wafers used to be specified in inches, I beleive they are generally fabricated on 300mm diameter wafers now. All the die sizes I’ve seen doing some quick research appear to be in millimeters (could possibly be approximations of values in mils) but I doubt either millimeters or mils would be useful for actually laying out ASICs - I expect they are mostly using microns and/or nanometers.

PCB design is still mostly in mils in the US, but I’ve heard from colleagues who moved from there of some big companies starting to switch since it’s more convienent for working with China etc. to just use metric.

I'm not sure about this: the sandwiches are an easy daily income; you've got a captive audience, why not make them awesome? In this situation you still have to pay the person making them and selling them, why not make them good?

Can you imagine "I take the train, it has the best sandwiches!". Why can't that be a thing?

Well thank god the GDPR already killed that old scapegoat (unless your creative content backups are guaranteed 100% PII free).

If this was just about liability, the terms could be much narrower. They're intentionally broad to guarantee the maximum benefit to the platform and allow them to come up with other uses for that data later on.

This is exploitative and only works because of the power imbalance between platforms and individual creators. Even if you follow the idea of the "free marketplace" you'll have to acknowledge that creators have no individual leverage when it comes to platforms with "take it or leave it" ToS.
This isn’t quite true. The issue is that rodents evolve a lot quicker due to effective population size and generation time. As a consequence, the genetic divergence between rodents and humans is in fact greater than that between humans and pigs (see e.g. https://europepmc.org/abstract/pmc/pmc1142312), even though pigs branched off earlier than rodents.

It's interesting that this favours pictographic languages. You can express a lot more in a few "characters" of Chinese than you can in English! Might be a little more fair if you charged per byte instead of per character, but they would still have a big advantage.

Yes. If I remember correctly when Twitter rose the character limit to 280, it was kept to 140 for tweets in CJK languages.
Yes obviously we aren't sitting here measuring the earth's rotation to set our clocks. The point is the meaning of the number remains the same. Seconds, minutes and hours have meaning, and the meaning of those measured amounts of times is directly related to some fraction of the rotation of the planet we are currently sitting on. The point was moving this system of time-keeping to some other planet would discard much of its relevancy to our every-day life, which matters a lot.
We know that there are things in humans that make them react differently to medications. We know _why_ this because of rigorous science.

That’s misleading and you know it. Nobody suggested that we type without autocorrect. What the GP said is that you can learn to type efficiently without looking on a touch screen keyboard because autocorrect is good enough. Yeah, I had a Motorola Milestone (EU version of the droid) and I could type without looking. It was pretty nice being able to type that way. But in no way would I want to go back to such a brick in my pocket.
The ways engineers are terrible managers non-technical managers are often terrible too. In addition to that, they also know less about work itself and are more likely to be insecure about that. They cant distinguish between good and bad engineers replacing various signals for that and are easy to manipulate by charismatic but not too good engineers. The lack of knowledge shows up in small things and big things and overall bluffing. So you get same problems plus some more.

Non technical here does not mean "does not have technical school". If that person took effort to learn, then he can be technical without degree etc obviously.

> I think this is mandated by the EU.

Not really, the EU is democratic, and generally there's skeptisism in the EU about a liberal rail market.

The Fourth Railway Package explicity allows tracks and trains to be owned by a single holding company. The main point of the package was things like harmonising safety standards across europe (so if you wanted to run a train from london to warsaw you wouldn't need to get safety certification from UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Poland).

It will mean that a given EU government can't use the rail industry as a way of hiding state aid to people/industries. If SNCF are good, that's fine, they continue. If DB come along and say they can run France's network for half the cost, then DB get the job.

> I'm personally fed up to be treated like a thief when I forgot composting my ticket

That's because you're not traveling with a valid ticket. Try driving off from the petrol station without paying, or boarding a plane without showing a boarding pass.

> Also the price lottery for TGV tickets is infuriating

It's demand led, like planes.

> the commercial strategy of the SNCF is to offer cheap TGV which lacks any confort to kind of punish you not buying the more expensive option.

So buy the more expensive one if you value the comfort.

> So compared to Dropbox, having two external hard drives and using rsync regularly will get you way faster point in time backups, faster access in case of recovery, privacy, transparent encryption (that you'll not have to care about during access to files), no worries about losing access/account takeover, one-time fixed payment for the drive that will last you probably more than 5 years, instead of subscription (where you'll pay after 1 year more than you'd pay for the drive alone), etc.

The fact that you think this list of inaccurate claims supports rather than refutes your original post suggests you should spend more time learning about what Dropbox does and calculating the operational overhead of supporting a homegrown solution. In particular, thinking about what ease of access means with an external drive could lead you to insights about correlated failure modes such as what happens when the same thief/power surge/accident takes your laptop and the drive sitting next to it, and you realize that if you’d used Dropbox you wouldn’t have lost more than a few seconds of work. Similarly, your scheme has no versioning, bitrot protection, etc. which people always discount until the first time they lose data.
Be very cautious about accepting any position at a startup as the technical founder but they treat you like employee #1.

Counterpoint: Booting my Mac is when I'm going to work on something and seeing delays due to an pending update feels like an inconvenience. Shutdown is the time to do those tasks that block me from using my computer.

I'm sitting at my Mac right now and see an update notification popup in the upper right corner - it has been nagging me for days and every time it returns I wish it would remind me on shutdown when I don't intend to use my computer for a while. I click on on "try again tomorrow" although I know that there's no way I'll interrupt my work when the notification returns the next day. This continues until I actually remember to start the update instead of shutting down my Mac.

Cool - thanks! While the measures a simple in theory, there are some practical challenges; git repositories tend to be messy. So part of the practical challenge is to clean the input data (e.g. filter out auto-generated content, checked in third party libraries).

Another challenge is that version-control data is quite file centric, while many actionable insights are on a higher architectural level. In CodeScene we solve this by aggregating files into logical components that can then be presented and scored.

I used to live a 7 minute taxi from Manchester airport. I would usually aim to arrive 30 minutes before wheelsup. It it took longer than 5 minutes from taxi to boarding it was unusual.

Never missed a flight. To get to west london it was far faster than the train and tube, although most of the time I was changing at Heathrow onto a longer distance flight.
