Of course, property and rent is through the roof (and let's not get into vehicle parking, insurance, etc). If $100K salaries weren't "average" then nobody would stay here. I rent in the near burbs, and $2200/month is considered typical even this far from the core.

Of course there are cheaper neighbourhoods, but you can already guess what that entails in Toronto.

What a bunch of nonsense. I never said the leaf isn’t a serious ev. I said it’s a golf cart because that’s what it is. It can barely make it on the highway and has a very limited range. Some people want that. Most people want something like a Toyota Corolla (literally most people according to sales) and nobody in the ev community had tried to challenge the corolla segment until Tesla. That’s all I’m saying. I’m not saying that the leaf isn’t “serious.” What is even the point of your comment? Did you even read into the context and sentiment of my comment? I said nobody made a good looking, long range ev and pushed it with charging infrastructure until Tesla did it. What does that have to do with a bunch or rude Parisians driving around in clown cars? Nothing. Go back to France.
What's wrong with it returning int here? They aren't using any variables bigger int, and the meaning of return codes is irrelevant.
Cancer increases with age, but also with smoking, drinking, pollution, bad diet, obesity, lack of exercise, and exposure to viruses. I wouldn’t be surprised if people living in a tribal society had lower cancer rates even if you corrected for age. On the other hand, if they did get cancer, survival rates would be much lower.

Nice thought provoking presentation. I once billed 150 hours in a 7 day period, and they were honest hours, too. Since then I've stopped working and raised a daughter; and parenting was harder work than the insane "i have no life" schedule I used to push.

Bit over a decade into the family thing, it's certainly more rewarding. Other people would find other choices rewarding and that's great too.

We're all too apt to forget that in the end, this time is all we have. Are we really using it like we want to?

Further: Unless your code is compiled, deployed to a rocket, and fired off the Earth never to return, the question of “what is my platform?” is meaningless in the context of writing good C.

So, today, using the compiler installed on your system right now, sizeof(int) = 32. Great. That means nothing, and changes nothing about whether your code is correct. You should not write code relying on it. Just like you should not measure the output of the questions on this test, and declare that you know what the answers are.

Just to be clear, I do think the i3 and cars like them have a place in the market, and kudos to BMW for getting outside of its comfort zone and shipping something new that has found an audience.

However, if I were running BMW (and it's surely best for everyone that I'm not), I wouldn't want the i3 to be the core of my EV business. The day-to-day bread-and-butter EVs should target the same demographic sweet spots as BMW's gas guzzlers: expensive but not too expensive, comfortable, attractive, high-performance vehicles with (at least perceived) consistently high quality for components, engineering, innovation, and some combination of classy design and sporty sexiness.

People can argue whether or not they've ever consistently nailed all or any of those marks, but at the very least, that is the niche that BMW aspires to be in in the auto industry, and the niche it has had the most success in occupying. BMW has had great success making a certain type of motorcycle and certain types of cars, and I've got to think they'd have great success making a certain type of EV if they fearlessly applied themselves to doing it. Maybe they've realized their mistakes and are doing that now, who knows, but they're years behind where I wish they were. :( I still think they can catch up as long as they've at least gotten their vision together by now.
I don't know how convoluted the questions on your midterms were but one good reason that kind of irritating thing pops up in tests is that it's quite common in real world C code. Think of the old K&R string copy example.

When I say fit and finish, I mean that the interior of the model 3 is more similar to a Hyundai or Toyota than a luxury car. I don’t think it’s about stuff breaking, it’s about cheap seats and not high quality plastic. Perfectly fine, but tough when you’re used to a Mercedes or Lexus. It reminds me of a civic interior with a giant iPad.

This works for lots of people, but if they could get better interiors they would do much better against luxury. But they seem to be doing pretty well against bmw as is.

> IIRC the Switch will brick if you use the wrong dock / charger to this day.

No. Only one dock ever provably bricked the Switch, and no charger ever has.

The bricking in question actually fried the PMIC due to a software bug on the dock side that was triggered when new functionality/behavior was added to the Switch with a firmware update.

No known dock or charger will damage a Switch today. I've tried hundreds of chargers and even the cheapest $15 docks I find on AliExpress, like this one: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32832952544.html

We use Common Lisp to build compilers and simulators for quantum computers at Rigetti [0,1].

I wouldn’t consider the development stagnant. SBCL makes regular releases, including huge improvements (e.g., ported to risc v) and bug fixes. It’s easy to find commercial support for Common Lisp as well.

I love Scheme and Common Lisp both, but CL is quite a workhorse when it comes to difficult, professional work on teams.

Hi HN, creator here. Lately I've been enjoying learning about the Web Audio API and wanted to apply it. I wanted a quick debugging tool to inspect the sounds I was synthesizing and ended up creating this. It's vanilla JS, so just view source to check it out.

Things I've ended up enjoying with it:

- Hum, whistle, and sing my favorite tunes and compare the images

- Take it on a nature walk and look at bird calls

- Try to make sounds to draw a specific picture or shape

How it works:

On load, the app requests microphone access, and connects that audio stream to a WebAudio AnalyzerNode. The AnalyzerNode offers a fast fourier transform that is called repeatedly using requestAnimationFrame. For each frame, the entire contents of the canvas are shifted left by 1 virtual pixel, and the current fourier frequency bins are plotted in the rightmost column.

Limitations:

- There are 1024 frequency bins, compared to roughly 20,000 hertz hearing range, so the resolution is pretty good but not perfect as each dot represents a range of ~20 hertz.

- Unfortunately doesn't work in iOS Firefox or Chrome; Apple won't offer microphone access via getUserMedia to 3rd party browsers.

- It has a PWA manifest; Android users should be able to add to homescreen. iOS users still can't since getUserMedia is restricted in iOS PWAs

Yes, a more secure and practical alternative to "VPN services" is the Tor network, which externalizes the cost of infrastructure to volunteers and thus reduces the risk inherent with centralized control. While Tor is also not without risk, I really wish more privacy oriented services and software had decentralization as a core tenet of their design.
If IDEs did the same for unused variables, I'd probably shift as well, but right now, commenting out a line quickly degenerates into a game of whack a mole, because it causes a previous calculation to become "unused", and commenting out that line causes two more things to become unused, etc. The last thing I want during debugging is to have to fight the compiler at every step.

Debugging is the main reason I wrote this mod.
Taxes are always passed on to consumers, because you cannot not pay it - it has to be paid either in the form of higher prices or a smaller amount of goods or services for the same price.

What this (yet another) tax does is increases the cost of doing business, so online giants will use a mix of approaches to not pay for it. Show more ads, charge more for ads (which in turn means more expensive, or lower quality products and services that advertisers sell), cut down or terminate free platform services, and so on and so forth.

who benefits? State apparatus and local competitors.

Towards Typed Pipelines
Yeah, as a dad of 2 kids under 4, I ended up having negative free hours. I put 54 hours of parenting a week, because it is non stop on the weekends for about 12 hours a day, and 5 hours or so on weekdays (getting them up and ready for daycare in the morning, then playing, feeding and putting them down at night.)

I do get some chores done during that time, which is probably how I am able to exist with what ends up being negative free time (doubled up on some of hours)

Man I can't wait for them to get old enough to play on their own without requiring my full attention.

The USB type C spec IS FOLLOWED on the Switch! Nintendo chose to use (or was forced to use due to the Tegra chipset) a little-used mode called MyDP or "Mobility DP" which is a Display Port mode meant for mobile devices.

That Nintendo chose to deviate from the Type-C spec here is another piece of misinformation with an insanely good staying power. People WANT to believe it, so they never check for themselves and they distrust anyone saying otherwise, just as you are distrusting me right now.

I bet more people will go do research to see if I'm right about this than do research to see if they themselves are ever right about anything.
Honestly BMW lost its way long before electrics. The BMW pedigree was always about the drivability. They were never as “luxurious” as their competitors but they were so much more fun to drive. Somewhere along the way they lost that and became just another luxury car brand.
These seem like the perfect poison delivery mechanism... no one would ever know.
When I tell people in the office I fix my own cars, built a shed in my backyard, replaced the pumps in my hot tub, and do all my home remodeling, they look at me as if i have horns growing out of my head. My old man slaughtered his own hogs for food and built his own house, and his father helped build the Empire State Building. How are we losing practical manual labor skills generation by generation? I’ve vowed that my daughter will learn how to use every tool in my garage, effectively and safely.
> as if the "C Standard" were in and of itself a terribly useful tool

Not necessarily, I took it to mean that engineering is holistic and things like compiler behavior in the face of undefined parts of the standard are important to account for.
At first I thought this was about the much-admired discount art supply store chain.

But there is a city with that name, that clearly must court cyclists more ardently than the most devoted retailer of paints and brushes.
It manages more than you can drive in ideal conditions. Sunny day, parked in the sun during the day, for probably a ton of extra cost (they are using very fancy solar cells). That might work for people who have a backup plan in arizona with unshaded parking spots available. Hopefully charging stations at apartments and city centers will continue to proliferate to make electric cars viable for more people.
It's very much worth reading, Linus Torvalds' opinion of standards that's linked in that article, but I'll link it again here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/5/769

"So standards are not some kind of holy book that has to be revered. Standards too need to be questioned."

The way I see it, a lot of compiler writers are basically taking the standard as gospel and ignoring everything else "because the standard doesn't say we can't" --- and that's a huge problem, because behaviour that the standard doesn't define often has a far more common-sense meaning that programmers expect. IMHO the onus should really be on the authors of compilers to find that reasonable meaning. In fact, the standard even suggests that one possible undefined behaviour is something like "behave in a manner characteristic of the environment" (can't remember nor be bothered looking up the standard.)
Thank you, you're correct! TIL. I thought the i8 was an EV, I had no idea it was just another hybrid. I'm sure it's an engineering marvel, and it's really pretty IMO, but not being a pure EV makes it significantly less appealing to me. I mistakenly thought all of the i* vehicles were EVs. I'm that much more disappointed in BMW now. I am a long time fan of BMW and am in the market for a new car and really wish they offered an EV equivalent to the M3.
I live in Tanzania and here any kid that is above the age of 2 has free rein to go wherever they want.

Maybe it's not a better way (though I suspect it is), but it is certainly easier (assuming you don't have 8 children like most people here though).
That is an incredibly limited view. How many amazing books written in "add country" during "add time" which are classics and amazing books. Sure, there is always an opportunity cost, but what does it have to do where you are living and the time it was written? Does it mean you can only read books written after the new millennia?
Interesting idea!

I wandered around a thrift store in Bern once and found some weird secondhand stuff -- mannequins apparently for sale, fur stoles, mattresses, chandeliers, clocks galore, oil paintings, dress shoes, model trains, china, flasks, buttons, yarn -- all piled high, priced about 50% of what you might pay in a retail store (which is still very expensive), and sold in what looked like a very large single-family house in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood that had been somehow emptied out and turned into three rambling stories of loosely scattered miscellany.

Reviewing the map now, apparently just down the street at 24 Pappelweg there was an even bigger, more commercialized thrift-store operation, a Barner Brocki Plus, which might have had what I was actually looking for (a men's coat). Oops.

At least I got to read the local news and find out that, yes, their version of the American thrift store is a bit different and a bit pricier (e.g. https://www.derbund.ch/bern/stadt/brockenhaeuser-sind-zwar-s... ), which was an interesting way to learn a new culture.
> "Doctors slow to..." Implies all doctors.

This kind of generalization is normally read as "Typically, doctors [as a profession] are slow to…" rather than "Literally every doctor is slow to…". TFA supports that statement with a metric and some reasons why.

> What's more likely: that the hardest working, highest average IQ professionals are slow to adopt something that would help them save their patient's lives? Or that the writer of the article is biased and exaggerating things?

The former. Most doctors work within systems, and can't just start using new tools they think look neat. Instead, they use approved (often mandated) tools.
Have you ever worked with a pre-ANSI (K&R) C compiler? Omitting the return type for main is legal in those old compilers. Newer ones give you a warning.
There’s some interesting work going on in the Guile ecosystem: the new JIT compiler is just on the horizon, and nicely timed with Guix maturing as a platform. It’s lacking some real basic tooling (including an officially blessed package manager), but that gives its small community a chance to learn from the experience of earlier Lisps (including the first few years of Guile) and build something worthy of being the GNU projects’ language of choice.

I don't understand. The article is about a pricing tool. The "might" is that it can't give useful price information for all kinds of insurance. It doesn't seem all that horrific that it might not be able to give useful pricing information for every single patient...?

Using a third party USB Type-C charger on the switch has NEVER caused damage to a Switch and does not void the warranty.

The Switch supports the Type-C Power Delivery spec as well as Qualcomm's QuickCharge spec -- any type-C charger will work, and some will charge faster than others.
