> C and C++ compilers will pre-compile one header if you ask nicely, the first one you include. Compiling multiple independent headers is very hard, though.

Are you sure this is the case? my interpretation of clang's documentation does not confirm this. From what I understand, the at the very least headers are pre-parsed to an AST. At best, they are fully precompiled. I don't see mentions of restrictions on the number or nesting of headers.

> The C preprocessor is a fundamental design problem.

Come on, this is a huge overstatement. While I can agree that a textual replacement based preprocessor is not the sexiest of things, it does have the advantage of being pretty much limitless, simple to grasp, and implement.

You don't get it, the language is terrible from a compilation point. I would say designed but that would be an insult to people that actually did/do design languages.

You can't actually fix it, you can only make it worse.

Simple point: Adding optimizations doesn't speed C++ compilers up faster than having do those optimizations slows them down.

Solution, stop using C++ for anything.

The most hopeful thing in the last 5 years is the move to remove C++ from new languages tool chains. Good because C++ is hopelessly broken.

This feels like a step beyond the control Apple has exercised over apps previously. Threatening your access to the app store because they don't like the way you're censoring user generated content is beyond the pale and should finally bring regulators down like a ten ton hammer on them.

>If you get a message indicating the 6-digit code you entered is invalid, that should be a lot more concerning to you

I could type the 6-digit code incorrectly just as well as I could type the password incorrectly.

Additionally, some sites might check both the password and the 2FA code simultaneously as a security mechanism to prevent attackers learning if the password is correct.

Additionally, the phishing page could simply redirect the user to the real site. The user is likely already logged in to the real site, so it will appear to the user as if the user just performed a successful login. If the user isn't logged in, it will seem like some type of site glitch, and I've experienced glitches like that myself.

> If you knew how computers worked.... Websites wouldn’t be 4MB on the front page...

Websites are 4MB because they want a certain experience and a certain functionality, and developers assemble various common components and libraries to achieve this with the least amount of custom development.

A developer knowing assembler will not change the priorities of web site owners.
Some channels on Telegram show up as not accessible to Apple users because they "distribute pornography" even in cases when that was not the main purpose of the channel. There were cases when some users reposted porn gifs to group chats, admins did not delete them, then the whole chat got banned after user reported the chat. Notice: it's not even the _app's_ main purpose, they police the content down to specific channels, so the apps may _not_ show NSFW content it seems. I wonder when they'll start blocking specific websites in Safari.

I think Darwinism is over defended because it is perceived as a defence of science vs religion. But as far as I can tell, it is only a logical explanation that fits the data. That doesn’t prove it.

Yes, Lucasfilm actually owns several trademarks on the word droid, mainly in toys, computer games, and entertainment. Interpreted broadly, these trademarks cover "smart" devices, which are generally used to interact with entertainment media.

I've also thought about this, why most terrorists are so dumb.

I think it's because if they were smart, they would realize how hard it is to get away with it. This is literally one of the few criminal acts where no expenses will be spared in catching the perps.

Also, smart people tend to do something with their life, so they are less inclined to be attracted by terrorism.

Is there a Chinese law that requires all cloud services to be operated by regime owned companies? Could they not have provided that service themselves from inside China and comply with the law only to the extent necessary?

Is there a law that requires them to offer iCloud at all if they want to sell their hardware there?

Is there a law that requires them to ban side-loading?

It seems to me that Apple is always doing a bit more than they are required to do under the law. They clearly want to stay in the good graces of those regimes, especially in China.

But I do agree that the problem in general is structural and not specific to Apple. I think there should be something akin to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act to limit what those corporations can do in other countries. There has to be a limit to their aiding and abetting human rights violations.

It's a shame that anti-trust enforcement has been so effectively neutered in the US. This is exactly the type of thing it's designed to protect us from.

But I think with the current high bar for anti-trust, it can be argued that Apple is "hurting consumers" through the lock-down of their platform.

It's fine that Apple should offer a safe, curated experience of using their devices through the App Store. I'm even fine with the App Store having some OS-level integrations which would not be available to 3rd parties. But the App Store should have to compete on its own merits for how it delivers value to the customer - it should not be the only option by fiat. Maybe at the beginning, but not when smartphones are the dominant computing platform and the main way people use software on a daily basis.

The 30% cut which Apple requires is simply not justified for how much value Apple offers to businesses which drive revenue through the App Store. Again, maybe at the beginning, but the App Store no longer offers any meaningful benefit in terms of discoverability. Losing almost 1/3 of revenue out of the gate can make the difference between viability and not for a lot of companies at the margins, meaning this policy costs the user access to all those products which might be able to exist were it not for the "apple tax".

Even under the current legal framework, I just don't see how it's justified.
I thought Xilinx would buy AMD when AMD was at $9. How the tables have sure turned.

This is also what I am thinking. Even if I am a fan of Delphi/Lazarus for what they deliver, native GUI programs that generally have no dependencies, I think some parts of the Pascal language were designed for ease of the compiler and less for the programmer.

Here are a few features that prevent Pascal from being my go-to language:

* Having all function variables declared in var clauses at the start, far away from where they are first used. It eventually gets littered by loop indices and other temporary variables.

* "interface" sections that can easily grow (C/C++ header files are also somewhat similarly inconvenient).

But then again, these languages have been around when computers are not as powerful. And perhaps, keeping these rules is the price of not breaking what works.

Still, I doubt language design alone is enough to make compilation fast (i.e. why FPC is not as fast). There must have been a lot of sorcery in the Borland compilers that we will never know. Also they must have taken advantage of only supporting Windows (and only x86?) back then.

When you get hooked on SuperMemo and embrace the idea of incremental reading, it becomes the primary software on your computer. You end up spending more time in SM than you do in the browser. People use it not just to memorize flashcards, but to read articles and books... even to write and edit their own articles and books... track their sleep... plan and execute their daily schedule... keep track of tasks and priorities. It's a quirky piece of software but quite a mature one. After all, it has been in continuous development since the late eighties!

Oh there's a small but thriving community of SuperMemo users that sprang up recently. Here's a Youtube channel created by members of this community to help new users: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMdkN_8gHPn5vlYDe2ScrxQ

Sleep is incredibly important for forming new connections in the brain. I just want to add another aspect of learning; The importance of focus.

I will start by saying: "Do not engage the mind in the intense pursuit of too many things at once; especially things that have no relation to one another"

A couple of questions that can help for solve the above issue are:

1.How many subjects am I currently learning intensely?

2.Do these subjects have any relation to each other?

3.Why am I currently learning the subjects?

4.Have I truly made progress in any of the subjects?

By following the four questions above, you get a sense of what you really need to learn at a particular time.

This article https://leveragethoughts.substack.com/p/do-not-engage-the-mi... goes in-depth into the why and how of learning.

There are other tools that can contribute to a good life. Some of these tools are
1. Journalling.
2. Daily self reflection.
3. Some form of physical activity.

It's when people are able to trademark single everyday words that it becomes farcical. I sell designs on several print-on-demand sites and occasionally dip into related forums, etc. As well as the obvious take-downs for people flagrantly violating other's intellectual property, it's fairly common for people to have their designs rejected because some completely innocuous word used in the title or description has been trademarked somewhere by someone.

It's doubly farcical when [as in the Google example] the company owning the trademark in question has actually lifted it themselves from popular culture. [1]

The App Store is unraveling! What has Apple done on Facebook or Twitter? Is the matter that those platforms have some kind of content moderation that answers to governments and Telegram does not (so Apple becomes an intermediary)?

It is a big statement. I've personally not used an alarm clock in about 10 years, I wake up naturally. The times I do use an alarm clock I can genuinely say often make be feel ill for the rest of the day.

> It's an American device. It should act like it!

I’m guessing you’re speaking about the “freedom” meme but there’s nothing uniquely American about freedom. If anything, capitalism tends to trump “freedom” and any pressures to equal the balance (like government oversight) almost always gets heavily condemned. So from that regard, iPhones (and Apple in general) are very much American entities. Not that I have anything against iPhones (I have one myself) but this is “just business”, as they say.
Q: If the New York Times publishes leaked classified information should the editor of the New York Times be charged with espionage?
Yep, emulation is huge. HAPS by Synoosys for example has a bunch of huge Xilinx FPGAs in there. I've never used one, but apparently it takes care of splitting the huge ASIC design over the array of FPGAs so it looks like a single chip, and can run at 100s of MHz, so way better than simulation that could be a few kHz at best
There's a thing called user preferences. Ask a few questions when creating an account, are you ok seeing naked human body? Are you ok seeing death, blood and traumas? Are you ok seing people engaged in reproductive activities? Are you ok seeing violence? Then blur the images or text which happen to be categorised as nude, gore or porn. Require action to unblur them. Nobody is offended, nothing is censored.

I can understand some people may want to avoid nipples, like some people may find images of guns or knives disturbing. But things like that are a personal preference.

In this day and age information delivery is already personalized. There is no excuse to censor content or ads based on what "most users don't want".
The point is that it should be up to the government to decide what limits should be put on speech in Telegram, not Apple.

The opening steps of that are already in place. Apple is already blocking content in safari by default. It’s currently doing so in the name of privacy, and chances are that what it’s currently doing is ultimately user positive.

Some readers may be interested in Craig Murray's coverage of the extradition "hearing" [0]. The hearing, to be decided by a judge, has apparently been set up to conclude that Julian Assange is to be extradited to the US.

The UK and the US appear to be willing to discard years of diplomatic sophistries – such as the "rule of law" – for this to happen. This should be troubling to citizens of those countries, because they are openly adopting the tools of the despot.

It's notable that despite being "open court," access to the Assange hearing appears to have been deliberately restricted, despite being paritally online [1]. Notably, generally-respected international NGOs like Amnesty International[2] and Reporters without Borders [3] have raised concern about this. From Craig Murray's coverage, it looks like restricting access was precisely because this hearing was prejudiced.
