He's not wrong per se but this shows how utterly broken C is. And macros are a "bandage" that make the problem worse.

> include files should never include include files

Cool, there are two possible outtakes to this:

1) Why aren't include files generated automatically from C files then? (If you can't include anything this means they shouldn't have no "code", so they can't call anything, so they can't include anything or reference anything else)

2) Why aren't they a compilation target? (yes I know modern GCC allows you to do that) but why doesn't C specify a binary representation for them.
Would Signal be a good replacement in this case?

If China would threaten to ban iPhones, surely Apple will block websites.

The difference is that governments can block websites without Apple approval. But governments can't block app content without blocking the entire AppStore, so they have to reach Apple.

Folks have a bleakly transactional or institutional approach to church that I find baffling. I'm not sure what the point of church is if it doesn't help through personal crises.

Beyond that, if the divorce is OK with the church, what's the secret? If it's not OK and it's still happening, doesn't that imply irreconcilable differences with the church as well as the spouse? I guess given that, you have a point about timing, but all relationships are two-way streets, including ones between families and churches. Seems like the problems unravel on their own and we're just complaining about a catalyst.
With native apps, our choices are:

(1) Size efficient
(2) Multi operating system
(3) Graphical User Interface

Choose two.

If (3) is a must have, then chromium is the only game in town. However if we're targeting an audience that feels comfortable with terminals, then ANSI interfaces are well-standardized, widely supported, and work great. One good example of an app written in such a way is the redbean web server (https://justine.storage.googleapis.com/redbean/index.html) where your web gui can be bundled inside an executable zip file and the user just launches it locally via chrome, and it can access any native things you need.
Do you have any benchmarks that show that? It seems plausible, but a lot of COW systems optimize for the case where there is only 1 reference and modify in-place. I don't MMAP much, but it would be nice to know if Linux doesn't do the optimization I think is possible.

In this particular case, I would hope it only copies to memory from disk. If only one program is accessing a file, I would expect the "copy" of copy-on-write to be the copy to memory.
I would suggest changing trademark law so a trademark cannot be a single word found in the dictionary.

> Do you really want to start comparing the public record?

Public record is what they did when they were both in office for the people of the United States. I would definitely compare the two because Trump will win hands down. You are wanting to compare the two Twitter accounts. Tweets don't feed people. Tweets don't solve issues. Tweets don't make policies.

> Inclusive language does not stop being inclusive just because it angers racists.

Since you wanted to compare the two let us start with funding of Historically Black Colleges. Because a "racist" President would never increase funds for HBCUs. Instead, he would ensure that the funding is reduced. Obama in the first two years: $1.43B. Trump in first two years of his office: $1.58B [1].

"And even though we may not be able to fully trust numbers compiled by officials working under partisan directives, there are few budget outlines of any kind which suggest other than what too many of us fear; the guy we love to hate is showing historic love to historically black colleges."

“Oh, man … yesterday was great and historic. I’ve been around a long time and I’ve never seen so many black folks gathered in the Oval Office,” said Haynes, who was part of that photo opportunity. He also helped bring together the Trump administration and congressional leaders to discuss areas of collaboration between HBCUs and the federal government.

“With this executive order, we will make HBCUs a priority in the White House — an absolute priority,” Trump said. “A lot of people are going to be angry that they’re not a priority, but that’s OK.”

I don't see them disallowing side-loading soon but what I do expect is an expansion of the SafetyNet [1] test which will flag devices with any side-loaded software as 'suspicious', upon which banking and electronic ID apps will refuse to run. Since this will render the device all but useless for many people it will either force them to carry two devices - one for such 'official' stuff, the other for the rest - or to try to find a way around SafetyNet. This is a cat-and-mouse game which has been going on for a number of years and will continue to do so until either Google goes full Apple by locking down the platform or some sort of 'safe enclave' is created which can run on any device no matter its status. Google clamping down too hard will give extra impetus to the further development of alternative mobile operating systems, the viability of which increases with the rise of web-based alternatives for native apps.

> Inclusive language does not stop being inclusive just because it angers racists.

Now when Pandemic struck, Trump could have used it as an excuse to defund HBCUs right? That is what a racist would do. On the contrary, he delivered an additional $1.4 Billion through the CARES Act:

"This Administration is committed to the success of HBCUs, Minority Serving Institutions, and the students they serve. Each institution is unique and is an important part of this country's educational fabric," said Secretary DeVos. "By providing additional support to these important institutions, we can help ensure they emerge from this crisis stronger than before. I encourage these institutions, like all others, to use these funds to provide emergency grants to students during this challenging time, and to expand remote learning programs and build IT capacity. These are challenging times, but if we take this opportunity to transform higher education to meet the demands of the 21st century, our nation's students and higher education as a whole will be better for it."

The Phoenician civilization didn't have a single government, yet we consider them a single civilization. The definition isn't a hard one with a clear "is" or "is not," but I think we're clearly there.

Also, even the politics is highly intertwined. Political turmoil or change in one place causes an effect in other places.

How would it blow up in their face when Apple's customers don't care?

Apple has handed over the entire operation of iCloud in China to a regime owned company, including all user data and keys (they did warn users that they were going to do that though).

At the same time they do not permit side-loading, thereby handing complete control over what users are allowed to install on their devices to authoritarian regimes.

This is not simply "complying with local laws" as they like to present it.
They can see the title and possibly the picture, though. (People who know this use inconspicuous names and pictures)

RudderStack (https://rudderstack.com/) founder here. We have a different pricing vector (event-volume vs monthly-users/MTUs of Segment) so it's not directly comparable. Having said that, RudderStack can be much cheaper in two scenarios

1) Low # of events per users. For example, if you have a lot of anonymous users who don't do many events and leave. In this case, you may have a lot of MTUs but low number of events. True for a lot of consumer businesses.

2) You have a huge scale (10s to 100s of millions of events per day). In that scenario, we support deploying enterprise
RudderStack inside your VPC but still managed by us. In this case, we don't have to incur infra/data-transfer cost (and charge 80% margin) so can be much much cheaper. We have a couple of customers in this model. Some choose this for privacy/security reasons.

In normal scenarios too we can be 50% or more cheaper. Unlike Segment, we don't store any data (which is a major cost) so our COGS are quite lower. We use your warehouse for all the CDP features.
Woah. This is an ingenious approach. Obvious in retrospect, but that makes it even more impressive.

Well, I don't know about your nationality, but as a Korean person I found that the lack of CJK characters in a coding font is usually a non-problem, mostly because there are almost none that have them. (Apart from some local-company made fonts, Noto CJK Mono is almost the only one... which I do not like.)

Usually you just set a fallback CJK font and just not use my native language while coding - I just got better at English while writing comments in it.
Ok. This is what prevents a C/C++ compiler from doing that:

config.h

#define I_LIKE_FEATURE_X

b.h
#include "config.h"

struct App {
#ifdef I_LIKE_FEATURE_X
FeatureXImplementation *fx;
#endif
}

The preprocessor can change the size of structs (even redeclare them several times, or create new ones with unique names or ...)

> This claim, however, is unbounded. We can’t just go around telling people “more is better” and that the official recommendations are vaguely “too low” and expect people to just guess at the real range.

> The "minimum wage" specifically is a policy designed to put a floor under the standard of living of people whose market wages in the economy would provide a standard of living below what the society considers humane. Some societies have no such humanity based floor.

Maybe that's the intention, but what a minimum wage actually does is remove the possibility for anyone to work below an arbitrary number of dollars.

If that value is lower than the going market rate for low-skilled labor, minimum wage makes no difference.

Above that, it removes more and more people from the "eligible to work" pool. There's nothing humane about preventing people from being able to work, especially when you don't have a welfare system to pick up those who are now doomed to unemployment.

The 1984 metaphor is frequently cited as a great irony here. It’s a well-known theme however, consider Game of Thrones: a dragon queen frees the oppressed of the world with a movement to make all the societies a better place, until it is revealed that she’s actually just power-hungry and wants to control it all, even if it means destroying it all. Sometimes you have to wait to the end to put the beginning motivations in context. I would argue that the famous 1984 commercial was motivated more by jealousy, that another company was ruling the industry, and not them.

Droid is (or used to be) Motorola’s brand name for their Android phones. Google bought Motorola in 2012. They sold them later, but they may have retained the Trademark.
Didn't Motorola license Droid from Lucas Arts for the Motorola Droid lineup [1]? And since Google bought Motorola, it is now on Google to protect the trademark?

[1] Although Wikipedia says it was licensed to Verizon: "The brand name Droid is a trademark of Lucasfilm licensed to Verizon Wireless." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid

Visual C++ pre-compiled headers, alongside incremental compilation and linking make it relatively fast thought.

Plus on Windows shops we tend to compile C++ libraries into native artifacts, or COM libraries, so unless you are making the whole world from scratch, or doing crazy meta-programing without external templates, do the compile times become a problem.

VC++ modules support is showing quite promising.

Then again I do enjoy having to spend most of my time on Jav/.NET land in what concerns compile times.

I have known from the transistor level through to the mouse moving on the screen, just not all at once. If I put the effort in then I know I could have a solid grasp of all stages at once but it would be a waste. If you're programming in assembly then you're dealing with instruction sets. You don't need to know how transistors make up a NAND gate to program with instructions, or even how gates fit together to make higher order components. You just need to need you have a processor and memory.

I guess it's a double-edged sword. On one hand it's horrible that people are being killed by the police in Belarus. On the other hand giving platform to anyone to put someone's name and address out there possibly leading to innocent people being lynched or killed by the mob because almost no one will verify whether that someone was really to blame is also terrible.

In my view it's one of those situations when Apple is damned if they do, and damned if they don't.
