It's not the declaration of memcpy that matters, it's the definition. And the definition of memcpy is given by the C standard. In the case of external functions, it's the user's responsibility to ensure that the declaration is compatible with the definition.

If you want to use a non-standard function that coincidentally happens to be memcpy, you have to use special compiler flags to inform the compiler that C library semantics are not in effect (e.g., -ffreestanding). Of course, the entire point of these checks is to figure out if the C library has these functions in the first place, so using these options during the tests would defeat the purpose.

> The actual test comes later: the real memcpy with three arguments, if it exists, is mislinked into the test executable; if memcpy cannot be found linking fails.

The actual test both compiles and links the executable, although it (obviously) doesn't attempt to run it. Whether it fails in the compile or the link step is immaterial to the test, as it fails either way.
You state: "and probably some kind of communist (like me)"

The page also quotes:

"
Then came the definition from Corey Robin's "The Reactionary Mind": to be on the right is to believe that some of us were ordained to rule and the rest to be ruled over, and that the world is only right when the correct rulers are enthroned.
"

as well as:

"Today, I learned a new definition, courtesy of John Holbo: "Conservatism says the law protects in-group members without binding them; while binding out-group members, not protecting them."
"

Not sure which kind of communist you are proposing, but these definitions both would both make any form of vanguardist ideology (inc. marxism, anarcho communism, etc) or ends-justify-the-means ideology inherently 'right'.

Well, her prediction is pretty close for conventional oil:

How sustainable the production of non conventional oil is, has to be seen, taking into account: costs of production and ROEI.

"And predictions from the Peak Oil crowd from 15 years ago about what would happen in 15 years were mostly wrong."

I am not sure about this either. The limits of growth projected the problems into the 1st half of the 21th century. This would end 2050, in 30 years. The questions is: Are the roller coaster oil prices and negative interest rates we are seeing the pre-curser of problems ahead or just a funny coincidence?

"My personal take: after the 1960s, people basically stopped inventing more energy-intensive goods and services that could achieve mass market adoption."

I was also thinking that keeping the latency constant across the group is much more important than keeping it as low as possible.

It did held up at least to some extent laptops that have bigger desktop setup high power and smaller lower power travel adapters needed additional data to identify the type of charger, some would default to lower power settings for adapters that aren’t original OEM parts, some won’t work.

With USB type-c chargers it became more or less redundant although the USB type-c power spec implementation is all over the place with many cables and chargers on the market capable of ruining your devices completely.

This isn’t as much of a DRM as a reliability measure if you are going to use cheap power adapters you are quite likely to be able to ruin your laptop.

There are plenty of 3rd party adapters that can send the correct signal to a Dell laptop, those who can’t usually will power the system but not charge the battery simultaneously.

With USB type-C many adapters would charge the laptop at 60W instead of the 100-130W that original Dell adapters can, some of the certified USB type-c docking stations/adapters would be able to charge it at full rate if they are actually capable of delivering the current required.

Not everything is done because vendors want to lock you in, laptops now are smaller and power hungrier than ever and people want to charge their laptops at full rate with cables that could barely charge a phone.

With USB-C things will mostly work but will work slower I can charge my MBP 15” with my Nintendo Switch power adapter it will just take longer and likely will cause the Switch adapter to die the few times I had to do it I’ve noticed the adapter cosplaying as a heating plate while charging the Mac.
Which I guess is among the things usb-c power delivery covers as well.

Usn-c for charging, despite its warts, are quite the game-changer. Especially in these absurd times where batteries are non-replacable being able yo juice-up from a power bank is fantastic. (yes you could do that before but it was very niche and/or expensive and with less utility).

I think back-and-forth bargaining is an important and valuable concept. And while I think you are right, I suspect that the capability to bargain in response to commands would be fraught with its own category of concerns and potentials for undesired outcomes.

I also think the paperclip concept could be rehabilitated and treated with a charitable/steelman interpretation, where it's regarded as a toy example of unanticipated adverse outcomes.

I actually went to Cuba on holiday, and I used the tourist dollars.

It's incredible how this separates society into haves and have-nots. Basically everyone wants to be near the tourists. They'll invite you into their homes for food, they'll offer to take you around town, sell you some cigars, and so on.

Since you have tourist bucks, you also have access to the tourist nightclubs, where you run into some regional celebrities. Or you can find some nice rooftop bars to lounge in.

But walk around a bit, and you realise most of town is not like this. There's a lot of run-down places and a fair bit of desperation. Women will come offer themselves up.

Driving around it was apparent that most of the island is mired in poverty, with only a few places that are like a mediterranean club or hotel. Everywhere else is empty shelves and rudimentary technology. You'll see industrial trucks used as buses, for instance. And famously the cars tend to be really, really old.

I've used JamKazam (https://www.jamkazam.com) a few times recently to play folk music with some friends. The sort of music we play relies very heavily on listening to each other and improvising, and surprisingly it _just about_ works on JamKazam. It's certainly not perfect, but we're not going to be hanging out in pubs together any time soon.

The important number is round-trip latency, and we found that around 25ms is good enough (we're all quite used to playing with people of varying time-keeping ability anyway). I think there's scope to improve on that using a library like Roc (https://github.com/roc-project/roc) where you can target a specific latency. I've been meaning to play around with it, but to be honest I'd rather be playing music :)

The 3D printing revolution implies a fusion of manufacturing and printing. This just underscores my point though: abstractions beget new abstractions. 3D printing is an entirely new category that is just starting to come into maturity and reach mass adoption. Who knows what the implications of that are? It could cause a boom in custom made, limited run products. It could help to end our reliance on China for mass production. It's not obvious to me it will lead to less jobs in manufacturing.

I don't know... it's not a great response from a company, but sometimes it's genuinely the case that disagreement comes from a lack of understanding. An impulse to try and explain more clearly is relatable.

And yet, tons of companies had done that, and suffered very little. Heck, any company has done something that "a chunk of people on the internet don’t agree with"...

It's not about never doing anything wrong, or it being futile to apologize.

It's about, you don't do THIS kind of privacy affecting changes without publicly announcing it first, and without red flags raised internally that it might not be a good idea.

While I'm not sure that Epstein is the best example, US media has certainly been known to indulge in fairly dramatic soft self-censorship. I actually think this is less common than it used to be; the internet breaks it a bit.

A notable case was the unraveling of the whole Iraq WMD story, and especially the yellowcake affair. I suspect that this was notable precisely because well-informed Americans could see BBC et al covering it via the internet while the US media largely ignored it, though; pre-internet cases of media self-censorship would have been far less visible.

In an environment where the Guardian, Daily Mail and various other foreign papers have massive US market penetration via the internet, this sort of thing is probably way less useful; media self-censorship will only be useful for the section of the population who get their news solely from TV (or where the entire global media colludes to censor something, but that seems far less likely).

In one study [1], of "nearly 500,000 adults in Britain, those who consumed instant, ground and decaf coffee – even as much as 8 cups daily – had a slightly lower risk of death over 10 years than those who did not."

Another large scale study [2] on coffee included 400,000 adults.

Suffice it to say that studies of ~1/2 million people cover a wide range of economic statuses. And there have been enough of these large scale studies already to perform meta-analysis [3], again leading to the same conclusion.

We have similar large scale peer reviewed studies over alcohol. So you'll have to do a lot better than a guess about what the actual causation might be.

> and have the intelligence to keep their habits within moderation.

Wait, I thought poorer people can't afford to drink beer and coffee regularly? Which is it?

The idea that moderation comes with intelligence or wealth is a false stereotype that deserves to die. Plenty of wealthy people and plenty of intelligent people have addiction problems. Wealth and intelligence are bad predictors of addiction. A far better predictor is family history.

Doesn't DRM means they tried hard to stop you from clone it? Any hobbyist can get a sample chip from Maxim, clone the data from the original PSU and write it to the new chip.

I agree it should be an open standard, but the implementation is really similar to EDID. As we are moving forward with USB-C power supplies, this is probably going to be irrelevant very soon.
I don't really agree with the premise of this post. Why should Netflix or Google have to buy a domain for every stupid gTLD that someone paid a few $100k to create? The author makes it sound like that's somehow an oversight on their part.

If anything, it's sad that they ended up having to own so many gTLDs just to prevent abuse.
That is true but it will not protect against all forms of CSRF, for example you'll be vulnerable if you have user generated content that's not sanitized properly. On the refresh_token cookie I have sameSite and httpOnly set.
Isn't this just compile-time dispatching? I think types 'inaccessible at runtime but still affecting generating code' are table stakes, and basically half of the point of doing these types of generics.

Equivalent C++ code (admittedly, C++ templates aren't really generics) would have enough information to shove literal 4 and 16 into the binary there.

> those who imposed socialism on others, but did not live in it themselves

I wouldn't be able to describe it any better way than this.
The kinda-standard way to solve this problem is:

The power supply is "constant current, constant voltage" - ie. it is 19 volts for all currents under 3 amps, but if you try to exceed 3 amps, it will supply exactly 3 amps at whatever voltage that works out to.

The benefit of this scheme is it's super easy to implement on both sides, and fully universal - the device just keeps increasing the current draw till the voltage starts to drop, and it then knows it's hit the limit. The device doesn't need any kind of logic at all - a dumb light bulb will either work if there is enough power, or not work if there isn't, but nothing will get damaged.

It's also compatible with Y splitters - so you can plug in two laptops to the supply, with no extra electronics, and both can share the power. (there is no guarantee of even power splitting tho!)

A big benefit is the power supply can have fully variable capabilities - for example, most power supplies are thermal limited, and on a cold day it could offer slightly more current to charge your battery slightly faster - all without any digital logic, protocols, or anything manufacturer specific.

Anything more complex with sense resistors, ID chips, extra wires, etc. just costs more, and provides less utility, and almost looks like a deliberate attempt to reduce compatibility and increase sales of chargers.

Also ".io" usually hosts legit internet businesses.
The official explanations by directors on what happened were drastically changing a few times - each time right after a lie in previous one was brutally exposed. The accusations about bribing also appeared out of nowhere in a very suspicious manner, right at the very convenient time, and quickly disappeared when it became apparent that people in general actually trust the hosts. It was no secret that they do filter suspicious votes manually and it was publicly discussed in various interviews many years ago. There's also a huge community of list geeks who have archived and analyzed the results since the beginning of the list in 80s, and thanks to them it was trivial to expose obvious lies around this topic (it certainly didn't help that the directors and people in pro-gov media clearly didn't have any idea on how the list even worked for past 30 years). The 4th position comes from counting all the fraudulent votes in, something that has been confirmed by the Polish Radio itself and which is clearly visible because of unnatural moves of lots of other songs relative to previous week's chart.
