Yes, one of the confusing things for C newbies is the difference between "works this way on almost all implementations you are likely to encounter" and "actually part of the language". Both provide great opportunities for either the compiler or stackexchange answerers to make the newbie feel inadequate.
Over the years I have seen couple of closeups of various boards on youtube. As electronics is my hobby, I tend to pay attention to this. They all looked hand soldered to me. And the soldering job always looked very, very high quality.

Well, except for the timekeeping problem (there are workarounds but they're annoying) and the significant networking issues (no bidirectional port forwarding so "localhost:8080" doesn't work with server in WSL and DISPLAY=:0.0 doesn't work with server on Windows).

I've helped a roo out of a tangle with a wire fence before. It was cut up fairly bad, clearly in pain, but clearly understood I was there to help. It held still when I needed it to, much like I would if a buddy were helping me out of the same fence. Untangled in maybe a minute, would have been unachievable if they didn't stop thrashing.

That may cause errors or undesirable behaviour. As way of example, dealing with arrays: `read -a` in bash is `read -A` in zsh, and the former’s arrays are zero-based while the latter’s are one-based.
I am shocked to find out that no one in in this thread mentioned Scribd.

Scribd is the go to place for audiobooks, it is the only major subscription service I regularly pay.

Audible is horrible, their business model sucks, and what sucks even more is their scummy marketing.

Scribd is basically the Netflix for books, and I honestly love it and cannot recommend it enough.

I do think it has way more potential to become something if it integrated with other services even better, but I guess working with publishers is not easy...
Can AI generate a better tutorial?

To test my theory, I asked the OpenAI API to complete the following sentence:

This tutorial will guide you through writing the "Hello World" program in the C programming language.

And here's the result:

This tutorial will guide you through writing the "Hello World" program in the C programming language.

Hello World Program Structure

The "Hello World" program is a very simple program. It consists of two parts: the main function and the printf function. The main function is the first function called when your program starts running. It is responsible for starting all other functions and initializing everything that needs to be initialized before your program starts doing anything useful. The printf function is responsible for printing text to the screen. In this case, it prints "Hello World!" to the screen.

The main Function

The main function must have one argument which is an integer that represents how many arguments were passed into it from the command line (if any). The following code shows a simple main function:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
printf("Hello World!n");
return 0;
}

This code will print "Hello World!" to the screen when executed.

Let's go over each line of this code:

#include <stdio.h>
This line tells the compiler to include stdio.h in our program so we can use its functions (like printf ).

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
This declares a new variable called main . It has two arguments: argc and argv . These are special variables that are used by C programs to pass information into their functions from their command line arguments (if any). We'll talk more about them later on in this tutorial when we cover how to use command line arguments with your programs. For now, just know that they're there so we can use them later on if we need them! ;-)

printf("Hello World!n");
This line calls our friend printf . It tells it to print "Hello World!" followed by a newline character (the n at the end).

return 0;
This line returns 0 back into our calling environment (in this case, it's our shell). If you don't know what returning values means or why you would want to do it, don't worry about it for now; just know that every C program must return a value back into its calling environment when it finishes running (we'll talk more about this later on in this tutorial).

Pretty good, eh? (I just formatted the text for clarity.)
Thank you. It's extraordinary to think the definitive biography of von Neumann hasn't been written yet. I'll pick up his daughter's memoir.

In the early days of iPhone I would upgrade roughly every 2 years.

Windows lets you run Linux apps at the same speed as raw metal Linux, but with good drivers for things like video cards, wifi, etc. Windows also gives you access to a more diverse selection of its own apps so you can get your day job done. As for Macs, you get nearly the same benefits as that but now you also get access to the best hardware money can buy, from the cpu right up. I'm sure Linux will be ported to Apple Silicon eventually, but one look at the history of Linux even on x86 laptops shows how it will suck with half-finished drivers, shitty UI and terrible touchpad semantics, etc. Linux will always be a third rate OS for desktops.
Incremental backups are a feature of the Enterprise version. Full data backups are supported with the free version.

We spoke with developers who worked in Google. Not only in Google but also in other big companies - from Twitter to Linkedin. Most of them are middle-aged and they have experience of working in Sylicon Valley. It means they do not have any secrets, just severe schedule and years of experience.

Human rights is a form of secular religion. They do not exist in the real world, enforcement of those rights depend on a shared value system, and they often have a corresponding religious alternative, like "human life is sacred".

Since human rights can vary between geopolitical regions they can absolutely be looked at as a geopolitical issue, in the same way religious wars are geopolitical.
Tis the Season to Be Bayesian
I find modern tactics training with positions taken from real games quite useful. I finally made progress past ~2100 level in them when I stopped looking at the problems as puzzles with a hidden beautiful answer or tactical idea and just started thinking in terms “what I would play in a real game”
What DIY Couldn’t Do for Me
Whatever the issue, it's compatibility related, as Elixir's PostgreSQL driver (Postgrex) works with PostgreSQL enums but not CockroachDB's enums, and it has to do how the driver encodes the values.
Linux took off because SCO was trying to get $500 per CPU for a Unix license on PCs that were selling for $1000 or in some cases less. Windows NT at the time was also priced similarly to SCO Unix. When Windows XP Pro came out at $250, commercial Unix was twice as expensive.
If you don’t at least drop the sys_module cap, you can install a kernel module [0]. Running as root inside the container increases the risk of a breakout. I’ve seen different approaches at different companies. One bank required a hard-to-get security sign off that included MFA to start (so no automation). A different bank bought expensive monitoring tools and then threw a bunch of money at refining the outputs.

In the spirit of DIY/OSS here, I think ideally you’d want to emulate something like a Berkey water filter, these are basically just steel tanks with large threaded cylindrical charcoal filters (2” diameter, ~10” long) that use gravity to pull the water from the top to the bottom.

A simple 3D printed housing filled with some charcoal/carbon media to trickle filter like a Brita would be interesting to see its effectiveness.
> there is a distribution of effects, which means that there is individual variation.

You're saying this to indicate that anyone who disagrees with you is an outlier, but what you have claimed is completely un-relatable to me and I don't recognise it in (most) other people that I interact with.

Giving up on sport/fitness and normalised obesity is a uniquely modern phenomenon, and almost uniquely American.

Giving up on sex and competition is not something you can really accuse the Boomer generation of. You only need to look at the demographics of the US Presidential candidates, or any other elite career in 2020, to understand that status-seeking is most pronounced in that generation of men.

If no TV is “too far” then limit it to 1 hour and only watch things you love, you will surprised how little that is. Dig in to the screen time metrics too, you can probably Twitter and Facebook less than you do, you can still see pictures of your mom’s dog but not lose hours to it.
But you don’t replace your bachelor uncle, which is why on average the population replacement rate is greater than 2. :)
How-to get rich notifications using Home Assistant when your mailbox is opened
yeah. my name seems to trigger "some" people. banning can be bypassed by whatever means available. the issue is that username wouldn't be tied to you which the police can just knock on the door which has happened more times i can count.

take for example matrix or discord. these services because of their non phone nature, it is very difficult for police to track down dissent. encryption is a fancy word when you are the only one using it.

i remember actively avoiding using tor back a decade ago because while it could be used to securely communicate online, i would have been the sore thumb.

mass adoption of encryption of all forms in all communications without leaving afk trails is the only way to keep internet safe from governmental control.
A lot of free money went to governments, my state largely squandered that money, and hoped more would come to actually help people. They used it to avoid any sort of budget cuts for the current and previous years, and even set up a tuition grant that helps our governor look better at achieving campaign promises.
I definitely agree that's possible, but then they go over what a terminal is and what the "ls" command means, and how case-sensitivity and using commas in the correct places are important when programming, which strike me as things which would be assumed knowledge if the audience were expected to have any programming experience.

It doesn’t. It doesn’t really negatively impact anyone but Facebook.

Facebook will largely lose the targeting effectiveness of their audience network, which has always been suspect.

Facebook cares so much because now they have to run more ads on their own platforms or raise the price on their ads to make up the margins.

The Audience Network is a way to dump ads off their websites and apps, while still claiming they are highly targeted and effective when the reality is they are very low quality ad impressions.
I felt some minor irony here...

@ Most of the folks affected by these actions of Apple and FB don't read the physical paper; I sub to NYT online so never saw the ads. (But of course, it's not aimed at the people who might be impacted but the legislators who still love paper.)

@ The newspaper sub is tied to my postal address. The ads are literally linked with pii... Which is the very thing the argument is about. (Well, I exaggerate, paper isn't tracking my actions, but still... ironic)

Cyberpunk 2077 features at least one DIN regulated manhole cover. However, there is a severe error that popped up on a popular discussion forum of experts for holes for men.

As stated here, the German DIN (like the ISO but far cooler) mandates that manhole covers on the street need to be of durability class D400 (for 40 metric tons) instead of D125 (for 12.5 tons). This oversight should be fixed immediately to ensure the playability of this game.
> This laptop had quite a bit of overheating issues to the point you can't even drive all the monitors it says it supports on the spec sheet off the iGPU anywhere close to comfortably.

Also, which laptop is this claim in reference to?

Personal experiences:

13” M1 MBP - one LG 5K display, zero heat or fan speed issues.

16” MBP - I daily drive two LG 5K monitors with no increased heat or fan speed. Prior to picking up the additional LG 5K, I used one LG 5K and two 27” Apple Thunderbolt displays.

15” MBP, with 4 TB3 ports: LG 5K and two 27” Apple TB displays all working without higher heat than w/o them connected

13” MBP, with 4 TB3 ports: same triple monitor setup, same no heat / fan speed issues.

15” rMBP (2015): used two 27” Apple Thunderbolt displays + two 34” ultrawide LG displays, no heat issues or fan issues

The only time I’ve ever seen my laptop stressed by connected monitors is when I did an experiment and connected NINE external displays (ten total screens, as laptop screen was still on) as a test to a 16” MBP to see if it could do it. If I’d had more TB monitors to test with, I think I could’ve done higher count.

Setup in that test:

TB3 port back left: LG 5K display

TB3 port front left: two 27” Apple Thunderbolt monitors daisy chained and using TB3->TB2 adapter

TB3 port back right: eGPU w/ AMD Radeon 580 card connected to two 34” LG ultrawides and two 27” Apple Cinema Display monitors (the older non-TB models)

TB3 port front right: same setup as left, two 27” Apple TB displays

Even then, it definitely wasn’t “overheating”, but processors did idle much higher and fans stayed on during idle (but not at high speed).
That would explain why my car jumped into the sky when I drove over a pedestrian.

Ask HN: How do non-profit science/tech groups make money (e.g. SRI)?
More specifically what is the business model for SRI [1]? SRI is a leading nonprofit scientific research institute, with $100M to $1B in annual revenues, and with a long list of for-profit spin-offs [2]. What is the organizational structure of SRI? Do executives (and the initial founders) have equity? What about employees? How do they qualify as a non-profit (enjoying tax benefits) while having commercialization directions?

Now consider OpenAI's pivot to a "capped profit" company [3]. How does this compare/differ with the SRI model? What does OpenAI's ownership (captable) look like?

30 years ago, "ethics" generally translated to don't be a dick and treat people how you would want to be treated.

Compared to now, "ethics" is essentially a super-big tent of virtue signaling.

Yet another example of why SMS shouldn't be used for 2FA ever.

Besides the fact that Sim-swap attacks are still super common, if they've compromised the Android devices themselves (as is implied in the article) then they could grab the Device ID that way and potentially add some SMS-forwarding malware perhaps?
Something that I wonder about is the intersection (if any) of programming languages and natural languages.

It could be that as in natural languages the final arbitration on what is used is the masses and all the academic discussion in the world can't change it much. As I write this it occurs to me that an Artist (Shakespeare) and the King James Bible, had a significant effect on consolidating what became modern English.

If computer languages follow natural languages then a continuous evolution of existing languages will occur over time whether we like it or not. I think we can see some evidence for that in the oldest computer languages that we have. It would also follow that some languages disappear over time ...

In natural language development I have read that it takes about 1000 years for a language to become unintelligible if separated from its mother tongue. What is the equivalent in CL? You can't compile/interpret the program? A human can't understand the code?

There might be some room for cross discipline research here.

I live less than 100 km away from Olkiluoto nuclear plant, and I have never been worried about its safety. I wonder why this incident ever got any publicity outside Finland. Even here it faded away very quickly.
I'm talking about the perception by general people like business managers and HR etc.

I think it's silly that there's this purity contest or practicality contest going on. I studied CS but at a more engineering focused university, so the curriculum was closer to electrical engineering than to math and physics. Many engineering profs had a weird distaste for physicists/natural scientists and vice versa. They were both "elitist" just from a different view of the world.

I like Feynman's take on this kind of bickering among fields: https://youtu.be/f61KMw5zVhg?t=137
That's very naive. There are only two hopeful scenarios here: action from the top, and collective action from the bottom.

Action from the top means that we will have capitalists willingly going against their own short term interests. This is unlikely to happen; capitalists don't even look past the next quarterly earnings projections if they can help it.

Action from the bottom is also unlikely, since people at the bottom of the economic ladder can't take time off work to protest.

I don't see any other scenario that even comes close to saving us. At this point, I would say only God could help us, if I believed.

If anything it’s a positive that the CEO is taking such interest and spending such energy on this.
