If it's a static method (or in an anonymous namespace in C++), it should get fixed at any optimisation level. However if it's a global method, you'll need to pass -flto to defer optimisations to link time to make it work.
Old-style 8 hour eating window but slightly shortened. 16 hour non-eating. Simple.

FWIW I used to do the 12 hour thing. Breakfast at 7. Dinner at 7. Lunch in between. Ditched that and went down to 6-8 hour instead. I've found I can actually do 4 hour eating window but that's irritating for reasons other than hunger/satiety.

Even 802.11w doesn't fix the fundamental problem... WiFi runs in an unlicensed band, and anything else in those bands might disrupt it. There is no service guarantee. You should never rely on it working, especially not for security or safety.
> A statement as "no reasonable expectation of privacy": why not? Just because people could record and film you doesn't mean it's allowed or that it's ok

In the US, it is allowed and is OK, though. Legally, you do not have a right to privacy if you are in a public location as a hallway in an apartment building would be considered. Whether or not it is a nice or considerate behavior is moot when it comes to the law.

Edit: it seems findings have gone both ways in the US for expectation of privacy in apartment buildings: https://illinoislawreview.org/print/vol-2018-no-3/fourth-ame...

Oh man the USA is going to have very interesting times when the 2020 election results are in.
Because it’s mainly a social club and some of the events include things like date night with a sorority. I’m not sure exactly why, but for some reason girls ages 18-23 really feel weird about being on a date night with someone old enough to be their dad.

I like doing hard workouts and 1 hour a day seems like too much. Try 45 minutes instead. I try not to go past that when lifting weights. I rarely surpass 25 minutes when doing high intensity interval training.

In the US, perhaps. My office in Brussels can't aim a camera at the public road, for example.
> The whole C interface is clunky because C does not support multiple return values.

C has pointers which can easily enough be used as "out parameteters". In fact the C standard library regularly makes use of these. It's not amazing, but it works fine, and it's usually fairly easy to go back and forth e.g. expressing a stat(2) call is reasonably straightforward.
I often hear this argument. It could be used to argue that comics are better than novels and overalls are better than regular clothes. Three year olds are three year olds - what is best for them is not necessarily best for adults.
Anything running over rf is vulnerable to jamming. It's really just a matter of how much disruption an attacker is willing to cause.
Interestingly, a strict reading of GDPR suggests that "consent gating" should not be permitted, but admittedly the wording is quite weak, and it isn't clear cut.

> When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract.

This would suggest consent may not be freely given if it was obtained by conditionally providing a service based on consent bring obtained for processing of extraneous data.

Recital 42 adds:

> Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.

I don't think many users have a genuine free choice on many websites, although admittedly it's now mostly the worst offenders to blame here - the average site probably does have an opt-out now that actually works (!)

Recital 32 also appears to deal with the annoying, interrupting, semi modal nature of prompts we see on ad-laden sites:

> If the data subject’s consent is to be given following a request by electronic means, the request must be clear, concise and not unnecessarily disruptive to the use of the service for which it is provided.

In a discussion of Netflix's poor original content hit-rate, an example of a direct competitor's massively higher hit-rate seems apt.

Disney/Touchstone's "massively higher hit-rate" is not representative of most of the companies Netflix competes with ergo a comparison of Netflix to only Disney is not particularly apt. Netflix hasn't matched Disney's success, but neither have most of Disney's rivals.

This is a fairly common problem when trying to interface other languages with any C API, not just errno. The FFI-library of your language can usually call straight into C-functions but then it turns out half of the C API is implemented in macros which can't be called nor converted automatically, so you have to be re-implement them all in the new language.

Funny because usually the reason for having a C API is to provide universal compatibility to be called from any language. If you are doing this, please avoid macros.

While I do like GoAccess and I like owning my own data, there's still a huge difference between what tools like GoAccess offer and what the elephant in the room, Google Analytics, offers.

It's not just the data available by default, it's also the very advanced user interface allowing even somewhat non-technical people to produce their own reports and dashboards.

Yes, you only co-own the data together with Google, but at least you have the data compared to using a home-grown solution which will either not provide your product managers with what they need or which will consume all of your life as you slowly re-implement your own Google Analytics which will never be as good and/or featureful as the original.

Of course, if it's just about your personal blog and if you're willing to spend some time on the tooling itself, then yes, tools like these don't have the privacy issues otherwise accompanying third-party analytics.
> study groups, structure, people to talk to and discuss with and even just "we meet every Thursday at noon to ..." are not negligible.

Indeed. These resources are stupendously valuable, and probably somewhat easier to find/generate in some areas than most others.
I see a lot of designers who are very creative but are creating artwork instead of interaction designs.

The problem is: it sells.

Customer wants a website, designer makes a peace of art, customer thinks it looks amazing, contracts are signed.

The the trouble starts when it is getting build.

Real texts are much longer than designed, the available pictures don't fit as good as the hand picked stock pictures, and the interaction.. well it all looked great on paper.

I believe it's dumb to get contracts this way because the project always delays because the client doesn't get what works.

It's better to sell customers a moodboard and then design interaction as the project moves along.
This looks awesome for a personal/portfolio site. I use matomo for mine and it’s sort of overkill. You have to set up your own lamp/lemp stack just to get analytics and I use maybe 1% of the features.
Like the other solutions I've seen, this assumes you have access to your web-server's logfiles. For many (most?) low-end web-hosting this is likely not true afaik. I suspect that this is precisely the window-of-opportunity that enabled the dominance of Google Analytics and similar solutions.
Once I realized that I was simply addicted to food, and that hunger was simply a withdrawal signal, it made it a lot easier to accept that signal as simply useful information instead of something that was necessarily uncomfortable (to be fair, I consider being cold and other such signals in a similar light). Now I rather enjoy being hungry, knowing there will be a brief hump to traverse before my body replies with a number of favorable responses.

When traveling or over the holidays I realize I'm eating over longer periods I really notice how much less I like it now. I only do it because of basic, maladapted pleasure seeking behavior.

Also note that without some vacation you are slowly drained which leads to less productivity which leads to no contract renewal. Burnout is also a real risk.

I would use the vacation to perhaps find a 2nd customer even if for a few billable hours/month, just to start another business relationship...
> The difference between assembly and C is just that you need couple of instructions in Assembly to get an equivalent of line of code in C but the fundamental program structure is the same.

This is absolutely not true, unless you turn off all optimizations. If you take that route you find that your C code is slower (sometimes orders of magnitude slower) than code written in other languages.

C is less interesting without breaking the idea that "couple of instructions in assembly" == "a line of C code". Is also much less interesting without undefined behavior (which is what allows many of the optimizations that makes C "fast" and thus "closer to the metal" in many people's minds).

I don't fully agree with the article, but I certainly think it is long past time for a new systems programming language that is safe-by-default. There is plenty of proof that we can define away most types of "undefined behavior", get many kinds of memory safety, while still providing escape hatches for situations where it really matters. Unfortunately we are still firmly in the "denial" phase with half of our industry arguing that C is just fine and dandy.

> It looks like science and this might even be a standard approach in this field

One of them. I don't see anything wrong with it. Science works that way: you start with informal observation, if you see something curious enough, you move to formalizing observation. You search for operational definition of "dancing". After that you could watch a little more and to test your definition and to find other variables you need to control in an experiment. And only then you probably can stage an experiment, controlling everything that needs to be controlled, using "blind" observers having instructions on what to observe and how to measure, but not knowing goals of observation.

It is very important to know how to watch Nature, how to see something new and do not miss it. Your proposed idea "to avoid known words and to describe in terms of observed behavior" wouldn't work for this task. You would drown in describing words and you drown your readers. And probably no one would see few important observations in a heap of unimportant.

The funny thing -- scientists do not what dance is. Even in people we do not know what dance is. How we could call something "the dance" if we do not know what dance is? Should we believe a person when she says she was dancing? Or maybe we should believe our perception which has its ways to distinguish dance from not dance? I think, that it is the case when an informal perception based approach is the best. Just because we have no satisfying formal definition of a dance.
It depends mostly on the period, the availability of food etc.

One anecdote: I visited the (replica of) Chauvet Cave, in France, a few months ago, in which some of the best-preserved cave paintings in the world can be seen. They were painted around 30000 years ago from now by the Aurignacian, people very similar to us modern humans, including in height. We were told that they would spent only 4 to 5 hours a day hunting or gathering the necessary raw materials to survive. The rest of the time could be dedicated to the making of splendid clothes, a large variety af daily items, art, etc.

Edit: relevant wikipedia pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvet_Cave , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurignacian

I'd say that the scientific method is just a formal process taught to school kids and that most scientists don't follow it either. At least they don't in my field (physics).

It's more like "hypothesis" -> "experiment" -> "uh, this is kind of weird" -> "changes hypothesis to fit the data" -> "take some more data" -> "huh... here's this cool thing unrelated to any of my other hypotheses" -> "switches topic to something more viable".
I really don't understand the signalling argument - it just seems obviously incorrect. Who are you signalling to? In places where airpods are frequent, pretty much everybody can afford them - certianly in the social circles of the people who wear them. It's a very poor status symbol, and I imagine that the people making those claims are just projecting their own insecurities on the rest of society.

> Why are all these tools DAGs?

I don't understand your question. Perhaps the answer is that workflows naturally require data processing tasks to spawn collections of child tasks when a parent task finishes, and conversely they are also require to spawn a child data processing task only after a collection of parent tasks finish executing. Therefore this requirement to fork and join tasks ends up being modelled as a directed acyclic graph of processing tasks.

Serious question: why not use github pages to run your static website?
If you're hosting a static site on shared infrastructure (e.g. github pages, S3) where access logs are hard to come by, you can achieve some level of statistics gathering using a 1x1 pixel GIF and putting a CDN in front of it, then putting the CDN logs through GoAccess.

EDIT: this was a blog I loosely followed https://benhoyt.com/writings/replacing-google-analytics/ - one detail I forgot to mention is you have to do some post processing on the log files to get them into a format amenable for use by GoAccess etc, but it's not too difficult
Regardless of any encryption, wireless can always be disrupted via jamming. Even if management frames were encrypted you can still disconnect devices by jamming the signal.
My experience with education is that you are often forced to write in order "to please" the teacher, rather than express yourself (if you want the proper degree). So personally I do not really believe in any of those numbers.

Edit: At least not on academic level, there I think it looks bit differently.
That seems a defensible definition, but also at odds with your usage:

I think one of the biggest causes of loneliness is over sharing. We as humans respond more readily to negative stimuli than positive reinforcement. Therefore if a person has two opinions, one we agree with and one we don’t, we’re not likely to be overly excited about our compatibility. As we share and learn more about people than ever before, not all the things we discover we like. The chances of ruining a friendship because of ones beliefs are greatly increased because of 1) Social Media = Larger audience 2) More sharing = more reasons to dislike someone that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.

On the bright side, your close friends are likely to be even closer than how friendships existed in the past

I don't think that is correct.

Plus it demonstrated that people were willing to signup for a subscription service just for a particular show.
To me this looks extremely frightening. Sure, you can create good routines etc to prevent this, but that's not really enough. As a user of any module you can't trust every package to have good routines. In any basic project there are tens and hundreds ++ dependencies, and we all know that some of them will be vounerable for this exploit. We need a MECHANISM that prevents this, routines and good practices are not enough
I understand that it's US and per law, but "no reasonable expectation of privacy" is more of a judgement. It should always mention that it's due to the law.

The statement probably is entirely reasonable if you're born in the US (as you're used to it). Other countries have other expectations of what's reasonable and normal.

The often repeated "no reasonable expectation of privacy" in a public place to me is entirely odd. It's also something that could change (whether such a change/perception is in e.g. NL or in the US).

Technology makes things possible that weren't possible before at all. Meaning, you can store camera recordings for a ridiculously long time. From my buildings security (again: NL) I understood that legally they cannot store such recordings over 28 days. Above that things become difficult (possible but quite a hassle).

In the past people could see what you're doing in a public space. But nowadays you can easily be recorded and that recording could be stored forever. That was never the case before.
As a result, things such as "no reasonable expectation of privacy" should change with the changed circumstances, IMO.
Toolbars were not keyboard accessible, and usually unlabeled. The ribbon is a huge improvement.
Compiler optimizations are something that people were rolling off in assembly long before they were realized in C compilers.

You will also notice that compiler optimizations have not much to do with a language being lower or higher level. You go for a higher level language because you have performance to spare and you would instead want to write your large application with less effort.
x86 is a terrible architecture. If we changed it overnight the world be an extremely marginally better place (if we ignore backward compatibility). In reality on large powerful machines the ISA matters very little. Where the ISA matter (low end mobile, embedded), x86 has never been a thing.

Irony of ironies, your best solution might be to use a vpn. My ISP does dramatic traffic shaping at peak hours, and is blocked by prime video as they think it’s a vpn, and I use a popular commercially available vpn provider to sidestep it, and most of their servers seem to work fine with Netflix etc. Additionally, as my ISP is a cell provider, it also means I get automatically served mobile optimised content when streaming, which the VPN also sidesteps - it’s the difference between 800kbps and 50mbps. It’s literally the difference between YouTube at 144p or 4K.

It’s costing me $3 a month - my connection would be pretty much unusable without it.

Netflix don't need everyone to like everything they make. They only need to have enough shows in their portfolio that are worth the price for an individual to buy in.

They could have a thousand things you think are awful and ten that you think are great to get you as a customer. You'll just ignore the things you don't like. So long as your money pays for the shows you watch it doesn't matter if you don't like the other stuff. That content is there to attract someone else.

Netflix would fail if any one of their customers liked everything they make, because there'd be thousands of other customers who didn't like any of it. There has to be a mix.
