I don't write brackets where the condition and body fit on one line, and do otherwise. e.g. like these:

if (ptr == NULL) return NULL;
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) dst[i] = src[i];

I particularly like it for guards at the beginning of a function, because they end up being less visually heavy, thus drawing my attention to the (presumably more business-logic-y) other lines of code.

It's somewhat like how Ruby lets you write your control structure at the end of a statement to have it only apply to that statement, e.g.

return nil if ptr.nil?

And I find this style looks different enough to multiple statement control structures that I don't make the mistake of adding an additional statement without also adding brackets.

Of course this is a comment about formatting code, so YMMV.
Wow, that article's rhetoric is seething with social darwinistic class hatred. All these voluntary homeless seems to be conspicuously absent in western Europe. At least at this scale.

Insisting on, which the author clearly does according to a quick googling, firmly supporting and perpetuating an economic system that creates these dystopian features and then calling for their forceful removal, through weasel language, is cynical at best, and evil in practice.
As for PDF accessibility, it heavily depends on used language. In English it's usually ok, but I saw countless PDFs (some of them written in TeX) in other languages that render ok, but the text actually consists of letters followed by appropriate diacritical mark.
I've often wondered about this. Many of the places I see them, they seem so very out of place in the context of the main content of the page. I would love to know what the percentage of clickthroughs actually is, and how valuable they really are.

Honestly, all my sites are quite accessible and it was pretty easy for me, but I still feel nervous about this ruling.

The problem isn't so much "how do I make my site accessible?" but "what counts as accessible in the eyes of the law?" Sure, you've passed an accessibility review from one person who is actually blind. But currently, what you need to do is pass an accessibility review from anyone who could ever potentially sue you over an ADA violation – many of whom don't even care, they just got roped into it by lawyers looking for easy money!

For physical accessibility, we already have rules about exactly how steep a wheelchair ramp needs to be, etc. For website accessibility, we have nothing, just a very vague "has a user complained?" Supposedly the Obama administration promised in like 2012 that they would have actual standards for what counts as accessible, but that went nowhere and in like 2017 the Trump administration just canceled that entire project.

And, like, if you've ever run a website, you know how vague "has a user complained?" is. My sighted users complain all the time, and it's not like I haven't expended years of effort making the experience good for them!
Working in places that were based off permissively licensed software, the default position we had was "no upstreaming" and if I wanted to upstream something I need to ask for permission.

when you're contributing to GPL software, you don't need your employer's permission for it to be upstreamed. If they release the code, and don't violate the GPL, then there's nothing the employer can do to stop it from going upstream.
Wow, that looks worse than I thought.

In the newest version, it reads:

> In some ways, an intern showing up and referring to Palantir is just another weird detail in the weirdest story I have ever researched.

while the original version read:

> In some ways, Eric Schmidt’s daughter showing up and referring to Palantir is just another weird detail in the weirdest story I have ever researched.

They didn't just edit her out - instead, they completely changed the meaning of the text. By changing the point of those paragraphs from "here is how well-connected people behaved in this scandal" to "isn't it quirky that powerful people would listen to a random, unremarkable intern?" they have gone completely against the whistleblower's point.

I can definitely understand why he's so angry about this.

USSR and its sphere of influence was communism in practice. You couldn't create a company, you weren't allowed to do anything for money without state permission (and mostly there was no permission). Prices and number of things produced were decided by the ruling party.

It failed almost universally.

It’s reasonable to standardise on a flavour of English that you want your code and comments to be written in. For some teams, that’ll be US English and all developers should be expected to abide by that standardisation. For other teams it’ll be British English and US developers would be expected to meet the common coding standard too.

Would a blind person be interested in a painting or car insurance? Another reason I'm sure about it is if there was genuine interest, there would be calls from blind people - "Hey, I'm interested in your products but I'm blind, can you help me with figuring out some things on your site?" or "Hey I'm blind and I have problem accessing certain features on your site, can you please fix those issues?". We haven't got one single call like that. Ever. The people who sued us were never customers, neither before nor after the adjustments we made to the site. The fact they went straight to threats and offers of settlement clearly indicates that it's a racket, not someone genuinely interested in the products offered.
The question is what is Apple doing in their software development? From the outside, it looks like there are glaring issues within their engineering teams.

Sorry. I meant how would Microsoft (and other anti-malware) firms block it. When they're testing binaries obtained from users' machines.

For users, sure, try to lock down Windows. Or (my preference) just don't use it. Or don't give it network access, if it contains any information that you care about.
Take children playgrounds for example - you have them where you have a lot of families with kids, right? And that makes sense since that is kind of public infrastructure supporting the needs of a certain population.

However, homeless people are not considered as population, they're considered as aberration. If we consider them as just another population we need to support with public services, maybe every neighborhood would have facilities for homeless population, like you have facilities for pets owners, parents, as you have parks, bike trails, etc.

Sorry for the late response. The killer feature of GitLabCI is that it offers the same functionality as all the tools you've mentioned but much better integrated because they are all part of GitLab.

Maybe not, but the angular momentum is. Without a big input of energy and momentum to cause a plane change, anything that forms in the solar system will orbit roughly in the plane of the ecliptic, and will spin on an axis normal to it.
More importantly, the test measures complexity, not how 'smart' the text is. A higher score is not necessarily good. In fact, one should strive to express a given idea as simply as possible - from that perspective, a high score is bad. As programmers, this should be very clear to us.
It's interesting, at least. Usually I would actually say separations of powers are good, as are powers to the judiciary; but you are correct that we do have a problem here with this in the States with frivolous lawsuits and bloodsucking lawyers.

On the other hand, regulators pouring bleach on food for the homeless and secret homeless rescue operations to avoid regulators are a real thing. As are hairdressers being shut down, fined and even jailed for things like not having a license to braid hair, or giving free haircuts to the homeless. Excessive regulations also kill jobs and productivity from overzealous and power-tripping regulators. There are horrors on both sides.

Honestly, I'd bet that after you calculate the fixed costs + variable costs + opportunity costs + economic deadweight loss of all of these solutions, it'd be better to just take the total costs--what is likely 10s to 100s of thousands per person per year--and actually just give it directly to the disabled in the form of a check, and be done with this circus.

I had a project with a client who didn't like databases. He demanded that all data was to be written in plain text files.

I then spent a couple weeks writing code that would allow me to query those files for records with specific IDs and cross-reference those IDs with information on other files.

You know, just like a database does. Only slower, probably buggier, and with no real ACID compliance. Whoever came after me must have thought that I was an idiot.

Asking for software that is not "simple enough" is exactly how you get bloated software with unnecessary features that only exist to justify whatever notion of "worth the price" you may have.

Programs should strive to be simple and focus on doing one thing, not try to be Swiss Army Knives to justify their price.
>finding clients who are convinced you can do whatever you want to sell.

Find clients who need what you want to sell and convince them is the solution. It's not easy and in my experience they won't all be convinced (some ever) but if you can provide what you're selling then clients only need persuaided enough to pay a deposit, first payment or some other initial small invoice and trust/capability will be build/demonstrated when first building clientele. Once you have more work than time raise your rates as high as you can without decreasing your earnings. Then if you can get to step 7 hire a convincing sales person first.
> but that is the system the people have decided they want

The people haven't decided anything. As usual, someone comes up with an absurd law, or an absurd interpretation of the law and there are not enough people affected to bother challenging it. But that doesn't mean "the people have decided".

It appears to me that Stallman was doing a job nobody else wanted to do. I never got the impression from him that he wanted to be some kind of president; and indeed he's distinctly not suited for the role. But I see no promising candidates for his replacement.

It might compare the roles these cities have for it’s time, not absolute size.
As I understand it, there are two main ways to invest in fossil fuels - stocks & bonds. Buying stocks in fossil fuel companies doesn't finance their continued operation, so probably not much point taxing those. But buying bonds from a fossil fuel company is directly funding their operation, so I would assume this is where the theoretical tax would be applied?
But that's always part of the joke.

Sure on one hand that's the joke, but I feel they never really subvert or question that joke (again with the caveat I really haven't seen much from the last ~10 seasons or so). As long as our heroes stay true to their Real American Values nothing bad can ever happen to them. Now I could be wrong, but the way that that message permeates everything the creators make feels genuine.
This looks really interesting to me but I'm a bit lost on how exactly it'd work in practise. Are there anymore docs somewhere?
> On the other, it's a little disturbing to see US sports figures - who otherwise are generally untouchable, for the most part - bend over backwards to make sure they don't sufficiently enrage China (looks like it's too late) over some tweets by a GM who is pretty well liked in the League.

To add context for those that don’t follow basketball:

A lot of players that don’t end up “making it” in the NBA play in China as an alternative because: 1) China has shorter season game schedules, 2) Fans there go crazy for basketball and treat even B/C-tier NBA players like celebrities, 3) Chinese teams pay a lot of money to foreign players, 4) the CBA season ends before the end of the NBA season, so players who did well in the CBA have a chance of getting a contract with an NBA playoff team.

Jeremy Lin (asian-american NBA-veteran) is an example of an aged player that signed with the CBA after he didn’t get any NBA offers, and is making $3M this upcoming season for 38 games in the CBA after he was paid $700k last year for 82 games with Toronto.

Other players like Josh Smith, Lance Stephenson, Tracy McGrady, and Stephon Marbury also played in China too.

For the vast majority of NBA players (or elite international basketball players), this is like a short way to “go on tour”, make a ton of money, and then return back to cushy life in the US.
$1000 Visa isn’t a scam?
So I’m sure most people think (or think they know) that when you see “you’ve won” or “you’re eligible” for $1000(any type of $1000) is some kind of scam. In fact, that is completely incorrect. Is this common knowledge that it is extremely easy and takes very little amount of time to actually earn this $1000 “reward” or “incentive” Not sure how relevant this is here, but it’s just something that blows my mind as it doesn’t seem like many know about this. Any type of feedback on this would be appreciated.
They pay you every two weeks. From a human rights point of view, it doesn't matter the tiniest bit whether a workday is 8 hours at $12 plus .75 hours at $0, or 8.75 hours at $11. So there is no reason for the supreme court to intervene on that basis. The lawmakers are in charge here, and the law won't be inherently invalid.

That's why this is being fought with state law, not the constitution. The federal law is doing something stupid, but the stupidity is mostly an accounting trick. Everyone is still getting paid for their total labor.

> Theoretically, a government should represent its people, which should be the foundation of democracy. If that foundation were broken

Well, in many countries it absolutely is. And there is no way to fix this.

And even if a government was really elected legitimately and chosen not to recognize Taiwan I doubt this meant the people didn't know Taiwan is a de-facto independent country and actively wanted to keep it unrecognized. To be honest I myself have only found out Taiwan recognition is limited a couple of years ago. I always knew there is such a country and never knew about its diplomatic problems.
The question is, why are they doing it? You'd have to be naive to think that the authoritarian grip China has on everything is not the exact reason the episode is being censored.

Contrast this to banning someone for saying bad words on a forum - that's not even remotely the same issue and I shouldn't have to explain why.
