I'm always in favor of homebuilt OS projects, I've worked on several in-house OSs and they seem to have good ideas salted around them.

If it were me, I'd write an open source RTOS (yet another one) and cast around for clever notions to stick in the thing, for the mental exercise if nothing else. Perhaps carve out a niche in quality/safety and not so much in performance.
What exactly is a Real American?
My bad! I got my wires crossed there.
This seems sarcastic to me.

You'll compile a lot out, sure, but I don't understand from the discussion why it can't be done. I understand why it's hard, why certain people have no interest in it, and why using a 64-bit address space is important for security defense. But nome of that seems to make it fundamentally impossible.
Is there a debate about whether or not his foundation is doing more good than damage? I'd like to learn more about it. I find it interesting how difficult it seems to do philanthropy that has long lasting benefits without damaging some party.
"Extensions are battery killers" is simplistic, and, well, wrong. Like any program, efficiency depends on what a program actually does. Some extensions use a lot of power. Others don't. The anti-extension animus on this thread is weird.

One should be both, with a careful eye towards aggressive governance and transparency of your union. No different than if you have equity ownership in a startup, the only difference is that you’re selling your time collectively instead of a product.

Unions are just corporations for labor sales. If you don’t like your management, replace them with your vote.
Yup. Often forming a union just replaces self-serving management with self-serving union leadership.

Nothing like those union leaders making $300k per year!

I get that this is not a popular opinion these days, but I like C. Quite a bit, actually. I can get stuff done reasonably quickly, don't have to futz around with multiple inheritance (C++) or where to call out to C anyway (python). There is so much more tooling behind C than Rust, or Go, or Zig (though I've been looking at Zig as a replacement). C isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, for personal stuff. I'd be a little more careful in group projects, but there's a reason it's still around. You do have to be careful and do a good design, but you should be doing a design anyway.

Some day, C will be deposed. Something better will show up and gain traction. On that day, I will happily switch to the new better thing; but for now, C meets my requirements pretty well.
This is a really bad articles. The short term rates are not driving this. They don't drive long term rates because be short term rates are largely driven by technical considerations (eg the recent fed interventions in the overnight markets because of liquidity issues).

I spoke to someone about this a while ago. These loans are often required by the government to message certain targets, and are meet positive for the banks because of other regulatory issues that may exist. These negative rates home loans wouldn't exist without some regulation various regulation and government incentives.

The unions are democratic institutions that represent the self-organization of working people. If the current leadership of a union is bad (and in many cases it is) it should be campaigned against, voted out, and replaced. Giving up on the idea of a union because you don't like who's been elected to run it is self-defeating.
Compilation speed for C++ is a function of the complexity of the code being compiled (particularly templates), otherwise a C++ compiler will typically compile C code (if it is compilable) at the same speed as a C compiler.
I can’t take this answer seriously. Assuming half of what you claim were true, it would still be terrible for us to cede control of the future to Google. Of course the grim reality is that none of your claims are even remotely true.

This is a classic case of worse is better amplified by Google being in a position of unprecedented power and abusing it to full effect.

Those of us who were old before Google even existed, can see very clearly where this road is leading. On the other hand this is a battle that has to be fought mainly by the younger generation. Alas, it does not seem that we are winning.

There's one important question left out: what kind of games does the author make? I can see how 'vanilla' C can be more than sufficient for basic 2D games, but as soon as you grow in complexity it can quickly become an insurmountable task to grok.
Very interesting point of view. I wish I had projects (like games) that could benefit to craft meticulously with C. The feel of coding closer to the hardware is great.
These are about twenty years old (Linux 2.2 and FreeBSD 3). While they almost certainly still work on modern hardware thanks to the backwards compatibility of the PC platform, can it be done with newer software?
I agree with the first part but the second doesn't really follow. How will your belief that phrenology doesn't work influence the result of such a test (assuming you live in a world where such tests are even considered)?

Phrenology doesn't allow the same "luxuries" as the polygraph because people are more or less stuck with the size and shape of their skull. Their guilt is exclusively in a chart not in their beliefs. Only thing that matters is if the people (judicial system) giving the test believe in it.
The use of "such as" in that question feels weasely.

I think plenty of people walk through a museum and feel that certain inanimate physical objects carry a nearly spiritual weight. That didn't mean they think there's healing power in a geode.
Ah yes, the toothless cry of the moderate liberal. “I think climate change is real, I just don’t support carbon taxes/the Green New Deal/anything else.” “I’m opposed to racism, I just don’t support reparations/police reform/my daughter and her black boyfriend meeting my parents.” “Sure, Politician X is corrupt, but I just can’t support impeachment. It’s just too soon.”

The author despises OOP, and I agree with him there. I would add that OOP can be particularly bad for games, because often times the OOP vocabulary clashes with the game's own vocabulary: the game itself has objects (as in, things the player can pick up and put in their inventory), the game itself has classes (as in RPG classes). It might even have factories, depending on the game.

All support for OOP would vanish overnight if people realized you can do all the important OOP stuff using C structs.
The risks are completely manageable. Aside from a couple of disasters, nuclear energy has not killed or poisoned very many people at all. There is a cost to all forms of energy production. But because nuclear involves weird stuff with atoms that most people don’t understand, they find it scarier.

You forgot corruption. In the US at least, unions can't seem to stay clean.

Now, do the benefits to the workers in a dirty union outweigh the benefits to working for an abusive corporation? I have no idea.
Yeah, but unlike management, you can start an opposition caucus in your union, do organizing, win an election, and reform bad union leadership.

We just have such low awareness in the US about what unions are and how they work that we take self-serving, collaborationist, timid union leadership as a fact instead of something we can and should urgently struggle to change.
They're nominated, voted as reps. Shouldn't be extra money in it.
i would say yes. watch the series and see why nuclear as is has issues and what was proposed (ie they were not proposing to build yet another nuclear reactor, they actually designed and build a nuclear reactor that could run on current nuclear waste - and estimated that the current waste that we store could power all of the US for 125 years given the current energy needs).

i don't know if humans will still be a thing in 500 years but I can tell you that if we're still going to be around the history books are not going to be kinds to us in general and to Trump in particular.

Yeah, at strict typing you lost me buddy. Let's just go with somebody else reply, as in you like C and that's why you do your hobbies in. Nothing wrong with that in the end.
It’s not unpopular to like C, and nobody ever said C is bad for personal stuff. Legitimate criticisms of a tool aren’t meant to be taken personally. I can say: “C happily lets you write off the end of arrays”, which is a valid concern, 100% true, and has no bearing on whether or not you should use the language.

I've used Raindrop for a long time (https://raindrop.io) to store a bookmark of all articles I read, categorised in months. It's been interesting to see the variations in "slow" months and busier months. I can see that I'm desparate to read stuff when I'm bored for example.

The one thing missing in Shiori for me to replace it would be a share extension for mobile. I use several different browsers and also often read for mobile, where Raindrop can store the bookmark via the share sheet.

I was interested if others do similar things?

>It confirms that yes, this union will have an effect, and not in management's favor

If you're in California right now and watch enough TV to see anti-vaping commercials, you'll relate to the idea that hammering a message into a viewer's head as if with an adze is seen as a useful strategy, regardless (or maybe because) of the quality and integrity of the message itself.

This is also of a piece with the generally constant push for employees to identify with the company's interests over their (and their colleagues') own. I think that finding Google's moves here as ridiculous is not something that can be counted on to be common sense. It sure feels like a material if-this-then-that relationship, but a lot of times people (you know...them ;) will only remember the last and/or loudest message they heard about something.

Not necessarily, some are democratic, like some in Sweden. The IWW is an example of an alternative to the centralized unions [1].

I didn't even realize C was so unpopular till recently. I kinda figured industry wise, C++ was much more common, but there seems to be a lot of stuff still written in C (i.e. many widely used kernels). I can understand was people would be apprehensive to C, but C++ just seems extremely bloated and I just haven't been able to get into it.

Not necessarily, some are quite centralized. For example, LO in Sweden. The US has plenty of examples. Look at Harlan County for an extreme example.
It’s very depressing, I also TA’d in college and ended up grading one of the mid terms for a programming class I had the previous semester. I found a group of students who clearly shared some code over gchat or something... weird variable names and unique code structure that was clearly copied among 5 or so students.

I was told by the professor to not fail them, just give them 0 for the question. Cheating was rampant in my program and the institution’s response to push them through was disheartening. We also had a “code of conduct”. These were all US students, I think cheating is just a huge problem in Universities all over the world.
I was also disappointed in the lack of solution as well.

What C only compiler were you thinking of? Most of the ones I can think of are toy compilers. If you're making a game, you're going to be using clang/MSVC/gcc.

For catching bugs early, at least as important as the compiler are

* Enabling additional compiler warnings and -Werror
* Checking for memory leaks with valgrind
* checking for Undefined Behavior with UBSan
* Using mix of static code analysis tools such as Coverity, PVS-Studio, and the Clang Static Analyzer

> an extradition bill by the government which allows anyone in Hong Kong deemed guilty by the Chinese government (note: HK is not China yet) to be extradited to China for trial, even foreigners.

AFAIK, China is just one of the countries that was included in the bill. Hong Kong has become "fugitives' paradise" because it is unable to legally send criminals to the original country for trial.

> Chinese judicial system is a total joke

Don't disagree with you :-)

> the government didn't give in and sent the police and triads to beat up citizens instead

Fake news here. The government sent police to control riots. The people that got beaten up were criminals. Some media called them protesters. Bloomberg called them demonstrators. The ones in the front are criminals. They wear masks for the same reason that bank robbers wear masks. It is illegal to carry guns in Hong Kong so an umbrella is not a bad weapon. When these criminals charged forward, the police had no option but to control the situation using force.

> police brutality, misconduct, and collusion with triads and the Communist regime

Just compare to any Western country. If the same kind of violence were to happen in the US, someone would have been killed by the police. I'm not sure about collusion with triad. As for collusion with the communist party, we have to remember that Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China. The Hong Kong government must work with China for any activity that may deem to be anti-government or challenge One-Country-Two-Systems. Collusion is the wrong choice of word here.

As for the 5 demands:

1. The extradition bill has been officially withdrawn.

2. This is impossible -- maybe it was possible in June but it's too late now given the violence.

3. This is impossible. It is also unreasonable because it would be a total dis-justice without going through the formal legal system.

4. There is already a system that citizen can make complaints against specific police behavior. It is also the wrong time to start any independent commission because the events are still unrolling.

5. It will take a long time to discuss again what made the "umbrella revolution" few years ago. The government seems open for discussions but if these so-called pro-democratic people cannot give in and resort to violent behavior then a "deal" can never been reached.

These recent events proved that some people in Hong Kong are indeed anti-government and their sole purpose is to tear down the One-Country-Two-Systems concept and make Hong Kong an independent country. By bad-mouthing the government and police, they are painting a picture that there is no other way but to separate itself from China. It includes certain media that is known to be biased -- Apple Daily News, The Stand News, and sometimes Radio Television Hong Kong (ironically, a government sponsored entity). They produce fake news by taking events out of context and fool everyone. IMO, these media and certain reporters are very unprofessional.
