8051 C Programmers remember their 8-bit stack pointer (256 words of stack space).

Enough for C to work out in most programs. Modern x86 systems have 64kB of L1 cache and 2MB of L3 cache to work with. Modern systems have more cache than the amount of full-RAM early systems had...
Anecdotally accurate for me. I've tended to prefer higher fat foods - preferably things like olive oil and nuts, which helps keep my mindless consumption down.
Not knowing defines you as not a C programmer. That doesn't stop many people from trying to code C anyway...

I have seen strtok used, even though it takes more code to use it correctly than not use it. strlcpy is like that, too. Of course, what happens is nobody uses them correctly.
8chan investigated over child sex abuse content
To me, this is another example of functional vs object oriented styles of programming.

signify is essentially a pure function. It carries no state and the output is purely a function of its inputs (and a bunch of internal constants).

GnuPG (and indeed music players) are stateful. To some, it may be irritating to build up that state to do something simple. OTOH, that state is useful if it's a cache hit and it's annoying to repeatedly pass the same parameters (i.e., you want to repeatedly do a bunch of ops against the same identity you've imported).

It's usually easier to write a functional core and wrap it in something stateful (by currying the arguments) rather than the trying to do the reverse as the author is doing here.
This is a great point. It's not one I would have figured out myself until I actually went and made an interest specific Instagram. It turns out that having absolutely zero ties to people I know in real life makes that account way more pleasant, as it is directly and solely related to my aesthetic and artistic interests.
King County has a fare reduction service for low income riders called ORCA LIFT [0].

They also have a program called DART [1] for ordering a pickup or getting pick ups in areas that are not well covered.

Direct pick up for people who need assistance getting to stations and a ride share program where you can essentially rent a van with a group of people [2] are also options.

"the quick way to fool's wallet is his health"
You're comparing an annoying browser behavior to a cultural phenomenon that (in my opinion) has had a net negative influence on impressionable segments of the population. Advertising is a race to the bottom where once target audiences get attuned to the ad format (pop ups, banner ads) and begin to filter it out, the format shifts further towards native content where it becomes more difficult to discern between honest advice/opinion and shilling. It's gross.
As I've noted elsewhere:

Private corporations acting in quasi-government ways is risky at best and terrifying at worst. While some of the checks & balances in civil+legal society have been broken, many are still there and there are repercussions when they're broken.

A corporation doesn't have the same mechanisms - public rules (aka laws), processes, appeals, accountability, etc, etc - built in and there's limited recourse when their definition of "right" and others' conflicts.

Based on this new assumed role, it's begging for more government regulation. And unfortunately, it makes sense for governments to say "as you take a more active role in society, you need more public oversight."

I don't see "meaningful" as referring to something like helping the poor, I see it as referring to feeling fulfilled. If that involves helping the poor, more power to you. Me, I took a $20k paycut to switch from writing node js all day to pen testing at another firm and I could not be happier. It's been two years since switching and I still look forward to waking up and going to work each day instead of groaning and dying a little on the inside. Paying $20k/year to be happy and feel fulfilled is a complete steal in my book.

Just my own anecdata though.
YOU HAVE NO DECENT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU OR YOUR COMPANY ON YOUR WEBSITE. It screams laziness and/or it's some sort of scam.
Don't worry. The first time a Republican wins the popular vote, but Democrat carries the state, people will cry about their vote not being counted in THAT race, will drop out of the compact fast, and electors will probably defect no matter what the state does. NPV doesn't really solve the problem.
I don't even understand that. Why was it even such a problem? So they took some stamps to the moon so they could be sold as "stamps that have been on the moon". I don't understand why that should even be such a controversy. I can understand with regards to things like "moon rocks" or "lunar dust", etc, but something that was brought to the moon in the first place? What's the big deal?

The soil is not only a meter deep. In most places it's several meters deep and it's that deep despite constant heavy rains and erosion.

The soil does not need to be millions of meters deep in order for the forest to be both a net carbon sink and net positive oxygen producer -- it can slowly acrue over time.

And even if biological respiration processes in the forest began to equal carbon sequestration processes -- the forest would still be a massive carbon sink over its lifetime given the massive quantites of plant matter and soil present.
> I feel they perform an important stabilizing function within the markets

I'm not convinced that's true. E.g. see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228261350_The_Flash...: "We conclude that HFTs did not trigger the Flash Crash, but their responses to the unusually large selling pressure on that day exacerbated market volatility." That doesn't sound at all like "an important stabilizing function".
You write: “Human beings are black-box algorithms; we can concoct plausible explanations for our behaviour, but there is abundant evidence that we don't actually know our own minds. I think our discomfort with black-box algorithms is essentially a reflection of our discomfort at the unknowability of the human mind.”

I tend to agree, and if you look from a species perspective there are boundaries to what other animals can also do. For instance, an ant can only do so much; they can do basic thinking and processing but they lack complex physiological structures and reasoning abilities, as far as we know, to concoct plausible explanations for their behavior. Humans can come up with explanations but it’s still hard for them to tap in deeper and ask those why questions.

On a scale of species reasoning ability complexity, I’m curious if there are other animals that have the capacity to engage with nuanced why questions. Any zoologists out there?
Your anecdata is obviously incorrect. It's amusing how folks on 'hacker' 'news' struggle with this concept.
🧰 Developer’s Toolbox: Linked List Data Structure
I think the reality is, if we're talking about tech, that many companies market their "mission-driven" culture to make it seem like what they do somehow has more meaning than working at Google or Amazon but it's mostly just a ploy to get people to do exactly this e.g. take a pay cut and feel OK about it when, in reality, what they do is probably not any more "good" for the world than what a big co is doing.

I recently went to a talk on "effective altruism" and came away feeling like that was a better model for impact e.g. make a lot of money and give a lot of it away to organizations and causes where the measurable ROI is the highest.
Title should be changed to something like the interpretation section: "Dairy consumption was associated with lower risk of mortality and major cardiovascular disease events in a diverse multinational cohort."

The study does not, and does not purport to, show a causal relationship.

EDIT: It appears that the title here has been changed, but to the article title, which is a bit less than ideal since it implies a positive correlation when the study shows a negative correlation (or at least it reads that way to me).

unfortunately, i don't know of any single border of any state or nation that was peacefully acquired or constituted. I don't think "modernity" has changed anything, no matter where you make it starts.

If you want an example, then look at Israel, which is one of the first state that wasn't created unilaterally through force or as a result of war, but (at least initially) through a UN resolution from an assembly of states that (almost) all agreed on the necessity of partitionning the populations living in the area. And look at the result...
I think gets() especially should never be used (but puts() is OK), but I think strcpy() and all of the other stuff they mention there is actually OK to use if you are careful.
Yes, that is almost verbatim what Marx said: "'theft' as a forcible violation of property presupposes the existence of property."

So to put it more clearly: Proudhon was clear that his opposition to property did not extend to exclusive possession of labor-made wealth. Proudhon was describing the fact that people do not start out on an equal footing and are subject to power imbalances throughout their lives.

Whether you accept the obvious fact that economic exploitation is a real thing (monopolies all the way to gunboat diplomacy) or just the historical fact that wealth is inherited, property is clearly not distributed in any ethically reasonable way. People are robbed of an equal footing from the start, which robs them of their ability to empower themselves, which robs them of liberty.

Proudhon was an anarchist and libertarian- both things I disagree with personally, but it's absolutely bizarre that his ideas are controversial in the modern day. They're concise, obvious, and fit in well with the common canon.
Airline jet fuel duty is covered by international agreements I think, presumably to facilitate trade.

I don't know if that also applies to purely domestic use though. Maybe that's how states can impose a tax?

That is exactly my point. You're presuming it's healthier, yea? If you can link to any proper long term study saying that, I'd be more than happy to agree with this.
I remember big confusion and arguments at my university at the time about whether it was a version of Minix or not. People couldn't seem to grasp that it was something new, and when they finally admitted it they just argued that it should be Minix.
In my experience, people online usually attempt to justify this type of behavior by retorting with anecdotes about cyclists' behavior.
This article and post is timely, because I "retired" last Friday (I'm 37). It doesn't ring true at all to me that retiring would necessarily be bad for your cognitive skills. Maybe it depends on the type of person, but I'm engrossed in personal cognitive pursuits, such as teaching myself machine learning, putting together an app of my own for the first time, indulging my writing hobby, and of course spending more time with my daughter. It is these very pursuits which led to me retiring; I want to throw myself completely into them instead of dabbling with them on the side. I don't see how someone would "lose their mind" from retiring, unless retiring aggravated other vices such as drinking or watching excessive television.

I've no doubt one's personality slowly changes when no longer chained to authorities saying what to do and when to do it, and when no longer exposed to corporate "culture". That's quite different than one's brain turning to goop. After only a week, my brain feels clearer than ever as the cobwebs of work stress slowly clear away (it still hasn't landed that I don't have to work ever again). Maybe his friends who are "losing their minds" are just seeing the world a bit more clearly? Or perhaps they were uniquely unsuited to retirement, lacking any intellectual pursuits?

I'll probably write an article on my experience in a year or two and let you know if my brain has turned to goop, assuming I can still read/write when that time comes!

Edit: as long as we’re throwing out competing anecdotes, the only person I know personally who retired so early is wildly successful. Far more than he was at work.
That sounds a lot like the issue we have here in Paris regarding poor transit services for the disabled. The service - called PAM75 - is just bad, slow and expensive for what it is.

I do think however some of the aspects of the uber model could be applied to this situation to mitigate at least some of the problems you cited, namely lousy driver behavior and ride grouping. Even just a simple app to book rides would be light years ahead of the current offering.

All in all, I've found this PAM75 service is a decade late, and has not by any means been affected by the arrival of the uber model, at least compared to how the taxi industry has been afflicted.
To each their own. My personal experience is that Macs are a proxy for high quality Retina display(sharp text) and more vertical resolution than thos remedial optimised laptops.
I just happen to run MacOS which it comes with. Give me that display, and sensible aspect ratio, and I’ll run Linux at the endpoint. Until ten, Linux only on servers for me.
Yet the current 4G mesh is not enough to support higher overall utilization, hence 5G.
How can/does a consumer know if the shop they are visiting is illicit? I believe the shops I patronize operate legally, or at least for the most part - the prices are still much lower than the black market prices where I came from. However, the problem seems to lie with the shops, not their patrons.
I made the switch from macOS to elementary OS and the keybindings are all I really miss. Apple seems to have the most-complete and most-consistently-implemented keyboard shortcuts by far.
Every good (ie. efficient) regulator of a system must model that system.

Corporations are poor regulators of the environment because they do not model the environment. These slow-moving AI aren't being designed with the environment as part of their model and we're seeing the impact of this all over the world.
East west travel in Rainer valley is hard because of hills and freeways. The north south bus routes are fine but the east west one doesn’t work well
You can bike part way and put your bike on the front of a bus to go up a big hill. You can rent ebikes for pennies to go up the hill, you can get your own ebike for 500 bucks.

All of these things apply to me too :-) I live by a big freaking hill, 300' up and whenever I ride I have to take a shower. If I had a flatter hill I'd ride my bike the 4 miles to the p&r a lot. Instead I drive my stupid car.

And then there are people like me. I've worked in big enterprise software departments (a huge homeowners insurance tech company, big banking, government contractors), "companies" of three people including myself, and some in between. Currently I'm at a 500-ish person company that is not quite enterprise but not really a start-up.

My experience is that "Enterprise Architecture" creates as many problems for the business as it solves for technology practitioners attempting to solve problems in a huge battle royale of competing departments. I think it often helps cement and provide feedback loops for the causes of the problems seen in large enterprise systems.
Relational algebra is more or less isomorphic to SQL if you're doing SQL you're doing relational algebra.

"Negative rates, which mean deposits decline over time rather than increase, “would be bad for all savers,” said Juergen Dengel, a 40-year-old civil servant from Bonn. If negative rates were introduced at his bank, he would consider withdrawing his money and using it to build a home -- even if that meant going into debt." - This seems like the goal of negative interest rates.

Understanding as compression would mean that you look at a function with arguments (unix command,input file) and result output file. The size of this function's implementation gives your understanding, smaller being better understanding

If you have no understanding at all, the only possible implementation is an infinite lookup table. When you start understanding commands better, you can implement parts better.
There's nothing I enjoy more than the plight of the German Saver, who's obsession with "fiscal responsibility" has led to shitty austerity politics all across the EU (to be fair some other northern European countries like Netherlands also share the same view) and depressed growth for the poorer southern European countries.

Germany has benefited most of all from the unfinished project of the EU. Without becoming a federal union like the US, but having a common currency, Germany's exports have been artificially cheaper and thus more competitive for over 20 years.

This is the natural outcome from the obsession with running fiscal surpluses. Now Germany is on the brink of recession and they're finally starting to make some noises about fiscal spending, but the politics will likely limit it to modest deficits than anything transformational. Enjoy the negative rates.

strlcpy is a terrible alternative. I have never seen it used correctly. It takes more and uglier code to use it correctly than to use strlen and strcpy. People who use it don't bother.

Finding use of strlcpy in a program is a red warning of sloppy code.

There are good reasons it was kept out of glibc for so long.
The Rainier Valley where this service is being tested is a long north-south residential corridor, bordered by Lake Washington on the east and a steep ridge on the west. It's a few miles wide, just wide enough that it's not reasonable to expect people to walk from the edge to the center to catch the train. Because it's relatively sparsely populated and most trips would be short last mile trips, there's no way running full bus lines would be cost effective.
Oh, don’t worry, I’ve been beyond nerd-sniped on this; I’m working on a little language-design just to better elucidate the concept. :)

(The goal won’t be to get anyone to use this language; just to get the concept understood in a way where other language maintainers might then choose to bring in a spin on it in their own designs.)

I would be sympathetic to the idea that in-game economies should try to be "real" except that Ultima Online tried that and it failed spectacularly (think: tragedy of the commons) and so they had to abandon it.
The surge in interest in keto (and less so the "carnivore" diet) would probably have something to do with it. As far as meat goes, beef is preferred to poultry or pork on that diet due to fat content.
What a world we live in: spending all you money and maximizing your debts is the new credo. Pay back? Will never happen.

I think 'the Germans' were never a big supporter of keeping the economy running at all costs. Like the way the ECB operated in the last few years.

Sooner or later there will be a crash. But somehow everyone thinks that will never ever happen.

FWIW I've lived in Seattle for the past 13 years and I typically commute by bicycle a few times per week in the spring/summer from North Seattle into downtown. I've never had anything like that happen to me.

I have however dealt with a lot of oblivious drivers nearly running me off the road.

The new dedicated bike lanes with the reflective pylons are helping (especially the two-way barrier-protected bike lane on 2nd Ave of downtown), but there's still a lot more to improve.
I strangely found myself spending my weekend writing something spanning a love letter and evaluation behind Excel's unparalleled success over 3 decades. I'm not entirely sure why I chose to spend my time doing this, but I think its story provides a lot to learn from.

In the age of the overnight unicorn, how does Excel still manage market dominance? IMO it was through making something completely inaccessible (analytics) available to the masses.
