C is great.

I never understood some peoples' desires to rewrite old stuff into new languages, just because it's a new language. X exists... and HN is then full of "X in python", "X in python3", "X in rust", "X in ruby", "X in go", "X in perl6" ... why? Especially with "new" languages, that lose popularity after a few years (remember all the ruby (-on rails,...) hype?) or languages that change with versions, and running old code in a new interpreter doesn't work (fscking python, and a bunch of python2.x code online that won't run on modern systems anymore, without a lot of work.... i have 20 year old perl books, and all the examples still work, even older C books, and everything works... but not python, "print foo" breaks in pyton3, not to mention integer divison that you don't even notice it failed, until something goes horribly wrong).

curl is written in C and JustWorks(TM), it doesn't need to be written in anything else.

Why would illegal stop them from trying heroin if someone thought it better than sex?

What illegal does is make it far more likely to die from using heroin.
Why? It will take less than two years, maybe one year subscription to pay for the dish, and calculation show $10 a month pays for the satellites. It looks like pure profit for any customer who uses their service for three or more years, and there are a lot of customers out there.
There is no public interest in naming these people since they're ordinary employees and there is no particular blame on them since it's indeed clearly a UI issue. For a high-up manager, this would be different.

Naming the developers who wrote this and signed off on it, now that might be more relevant.
I am not exaggerating. There is nothing you can do to protect yourself from cancel culture. There is enough hypocrisy in every person to fail on that standard alone. But even if there isn't, there is always something "bad enough" to get yourself canceled over.
I’d you are going to start something on the side, carefully read your current employment agreement, particularly the part about IP assignment. Most Silicon Valley companies I’ve worked with, including FAANGs, claim ownership of everything you produce, inside or outside of employment, at home or in office, using their equipment or yours. You don’t want to lick into a unicorn idea and have your former employer’s lawyers send you that letter...

In my humble opinion, Bitcoin is a better lottery that equity, because it does not require you to work till 2am in morning.

Instead of equity, ask for higher salary, and invest the difference in cryptocurrencies, stock market, and even the old-fashioned lottery. Maybe a bit of everything, to balance the portfolio. Your chances are not worse, and you can go sleep before the midnight.
Because of the way fractional reserve banking works, the vast majority of actual money in the system comes from lending. Loans are how 90+% of money is created.

If someone deposits $100 in bank A, and there is a 10% reserve rate (like in the US right now), then the bank can now legally make $1,000 in new loans. If the recipient of this loan then deposits this new money in bank B, bank B can now make $10,000 in new loans.

A consequence of this is, if there is no debt, there is very little money circulating in the economy. And the more debt, the more money.

This is just an explanation of how things work in our economy now. I don't think this is necessarily the best system.
I want to thank everyone that checked out my guestbook, I should have done some more QA before submitting.

Currently working on fixing the issues.
Mm, perhaps I should change my mind on this one.

I suppose my root objection is that such warnings are incredibly boring, because everyone in the world knows that both heroin and cigarettes are dangerous. We're not living in the era of cigarette advertising; surgeon general's warnings are required by law.

But that's a different sort of objection than the one I started with.
The smaller communities in you describe in the US often have better internet than larger cities.

The trick is to be somewhere AT&T refused to build out to back in their heyday. Those places sometimes have local telephone cooperatives.

Fiber optic cable has been dirt cheap for decades (cheaper than a dirt road, in fact). Gigabit to the home in tiny communities is basically free these days. You don’t even need to dig a trench, since there are inexpensive machines that bore tunnels as they lay fiber behind themselves.

Starlink would make no sense if we simply broke up the ISP duopolies.

Alternatively, people could organize enough candidates to take over their city and county governments, and have those people force right-of-way for local ISPs to be approved.

Even without that, WISP’s are a thing, don’t require right of way (but do require line of sight), and compare favorably to starlink.

Having said that, there are still places where only starlink can reach; it should be a much smaller percentage of the population than it is though.
Even three years ago, I have seen academic work (presentations) on Facebooks effectiveness of advertising - based on facebooks own data - and the conclusion was pretty dire.

The only reason (yes I asked) Facebook continued to allow these studies was because Google did even worse.

I wonder if all this stuff ever got published.

Never heard anything in the press, so I am guessing Facebook eventually pulled the plug. I wonder if I saved the drafts tho :>
If news distribution depends on facebook in a country, then everyone is screwed.

> the majority of mechanical keyboard noise for most folks doesn’t actually come from the switches at all; it comes from the keys noisily bottoming out on each keystroke.

There are silicon o-rings that you can place around the stem peg of the keycap. It's like a $15 mod, takes about maybe a half-hour for a whole keyboard. It will definitely dampen the sound of the key bottoming out and will be a lot quieter and remove the blunt "shock" in your fingertips of bottoming out.
I cancelled it a couple of years ago so perhaps things have changed, but afaik I'm not alone in feeling it was intentionally designed to confuse...lots of scrolling, multiple buttons with slightly different wordings, confusing warnings about when exactly the benefits end.

Just the fact that I–a software engineer and longtime Amazon customer–felt compelled to open a new tab and Google questions about the cancellation process, seemed ridiculous to me. Plenty of less tech savvy folks are sure to have been confused, tricked or given up in the process.

Funny, like the author I also have a 'desktop not icloud' folder but I just call it 'scratch'

If you opt-in to the iCloud personal folder mirroring feature it will move your Desktop folder into the cloud. This gets kinda troublesome if you are the kind of person who uses your desktop as a scratch space for random crap.

I now have a ~/scratch folder for this. I also added a ~/screenshots folder and used the app Onyx to change where macOS saves screenshots.

Now I get the best of both worlds.

Is it not a bit of a paradox that said embedded platforms matter enormously right up to, but not including the point of having toolchains ported to them and maintained? And yes while gcc can be built to produce binaries for an alpha it's not producing any bugs right?
Those are not buckling springs, they use Chinese cherry blue knockoff switches. Still not a bad price for US$36 on Amazon.in.
The volume is fake, which is the point. They want you to believe they are equivalent to dollars, and this fake money comprises the majority of purchase orders for all coins. If the spot price of the fake money falls to an accurate price (nothing), then it will tank everything it has touched.
Get an account on there, get USD in somehow (either wire in funds the old-fashioned way or send in BTC and sell swaps/futures/options), and then you can sell puts at any strike/date that you want, as long as you have the USD collateral to lock up to maintain them.

So if e.g., you wanted to sell 100 contracts (1 btc worth) of $40k puts for June 2021, you'd be "locking up" $40k until you exit that position, which would be June at the latest. You could also unlock some or all of that money early by buying back some of those contracts on the market, possibly at a profit or loss depending on how things move. Or you could ride it out until expiration and hope BTC is trading above $40k at the end of June.

Does that make sense?

We hear the version of every day as "why does Signal still doesn't have feature X? whatsapp, telegram and most other messengar have it since ages."

And that's why telegram has at least 10x and whatsapp 100x more users.
Your comment reminds me of a hidden brain episode that focused on the use of checklists in aviation and surgery. Now I often think of checklists from the perspective of various stakeholders at various levels when designing systems. This reframe has given me a more systemic view of parts that I'd once considered discrete. I'm much more careful now in applying the concepts of "blame" and "personal responsibility".

> I also think they are breaking GDPR by keeping the account for 10 months after cancellation.

Do you live in the US? GDPR does not apply to US companies serving US citizens. If you live in the EU, you might need to request account deletion, I think GDPR doesn't require that data is deleted, it gives Europeans the right to have their data deleted upon request. (I've read the entire code before but I don't remember the details on this point.)

I bought some noise cancelling headphones that also have a microphone.

I'm thinking of building some structure that would hold some sheets to sort of create a mini ... cube type environment as my desk is in the basement where the kids play and OMG is it messy.
It's a disaster in Japan and North Korea too, albeit in different ways. In North Korea the state manufactures some very nasty narcotics and distributes them as a way to gain foreign currency with the "nice" side effect of destabilising those places they export to. Japan has a plainly crazy attitute to cannabis, with people losing their careers and being socially ostracised over the most passing association with the drug.
All of your examples occur in the context of a much less developed and less connected world. Industrialization massively increased its footprint, the computing era began and then the internet era began. These are phase changes to human civilization.

Of course it has a different impact vs essentially subsistence agriculture, as per your midwest yardstick.
I think it's a combination of all 3 reasons you listed. Overall people have realized that all they need is internet connectivity and a browser for 90%+ of their use cases. That remaining 10% is growing smaller by the year as applications move to the cloud rather than run locally - or can probably find a similar Linux app.

Another big selling point is that Chrome OS supports Android apps, e.g. you can download Netflix shows to watch offline, or just use the same apps that you have on your phone. This might be the dark horse as Windows ARM apps support is pathetic and MacOS now also supports running iOS apps.

That said I'm also skeptical on the prices for Chromebooks - for a similar spec-ed laptop, Chromebooks are strangely a bit more expensive than a Windows counterpart.
I'm currently on the Havit. Excellent key response with lighter weight and shorter travel. Typing on it takes much less effort than my other blue switch keyboard.

This "low profile blue switch" uses a click bar, so the click you hear does not correspond to the actuation point exactly---which I am a bit bummed about---but I hear the majority of low profile clicky switches currently have the same implementation/issue.
The GP's suggestion was physical gold, not another electronic payment form.

To get a transaction cleared inside the next block today costs 185 satoshis per byte, and a minimum transaction size of 192 bytes. So "almost instant" clearing (~10 mins if you're happy to accept one block, ~30 mins if you're waiting 3 blocks, etc) costs a minimum of $18 today.

So that $5 tee that takes 30-60 mins for payment to clear just cost you $23.

As the rate of transactions wants to go up, the cost to get into the next block will go up too. We're already at maximum transaction rate, so the only mechanism left is increasing the price.

Or you could buy local.

The provably adversarial part is just about moderation. How much power does the author, or anny party for that matter, have over what shows up in the comment section.

>It will run your builds on the same disk image which are kept persistent between job runs

Unless I have misunderstood, this sounds like a recipe for a nightmare. One of the benefits of an ephemeral CI system is that you know any dependencies you install won't pollute future builds.
I don't agree at all.

Scenario from article would be solved by UI if the requirement would be "SEND MONEY [YES/NO]; AMOUNT [XXXX]; APPROVALS [JANE/JACK/JILL]" but that is not what that window is doing and at that level there is no "SIMPLY SEND $7.8M; MAKE IT NOW [YES/NO];". I don't even know what it takes to move $7.8M to different accounts but I expect it is quite involved process that has to trigger multiple different things.
for heroin it's ... hard to describe? one thing about heroin though is it is motivating as hell, at least in terms of motivation to _obtain heroin_ and you're going to do stuff that ranges from ill advised to ... very ill advised? anyway, thing i discovered is that if you stop taking the stuff, it takes a long time to find a replacement motivation. e.g. found myself waking up, discovering i didn't have an immediate need for heroin, and then, well that's it. nothing important to do here. it was ... annoying? fucking terrible? still is, so there's that.

Depends on the size of the society. If you think about it from scratch, you only need lending once society grows to about a certain threshold where you're essentially dealing with unknown people. Interest is a compensation for the risk you take, combined with the loss of investable capital during the loan period. It's quite different from helping your friend or relative build a house, along with a dozen other members of your society, with the social agreement that that friend will help you out when you are in need. Most of our societal issues I think stem from stepping above the size of our social circles.
While I'm no fan of the consolidation of decentralised podcasts into one silo, most of the issue came to light while Gimlet was unionizing and before the Spotify acquision.
You don’t have to murder anyone to fund a legal drug habit. Legal drug habits are easier to treat.

While we can argue about the extent of the evacuation and the extended timeline for return to evacuated areas, the fact that there was an evacuation shouldn't be up for debate. When uncontrolled explosions happen to buildings holding nuclear reactors, regardless of the nature of those explosions, the immediate area should be evacuated.
Very cool. Looks like it's built with Nuxt + Tailwind CSS + Babylon.js (WebGL).
I've done my fair bit in the underbelly of night-life and not a single drug has caught me out.

Partly because I may have a weird pleasure in feeling like crap the day after and likely because I view life as contempt for misery. No matter how terrible I feel - I'll crank out the work.
So it would have lead to a PR problem, rumors and fear.

Beats 2 million deaths.

And please, don’t give me the magical masks excuse. Masks might give additional protection, in no way do they solve the issue. And the ‘if only’ statements of some time ago have clearly been proven false. ‘If only we would have worn the masks corona would have been over’. No it wouldn’t because now it’s ‘if only we had worn three masks on top of each other’, which wouldn’t have been necessary if the first statement was true. It just isn’t. It’s easy blameshifting.
> 1. Undefined behavior isn't a thing 2. So Do() can't be UB 3. The only way for it not be UB, is for NeverCalled() to get called somehow, though it never is. 4. Perhaps something unseen does that from outside this compilation unit. 5. So we're going to make that assumption out of thin air, and not say a single peep about it.

That's not what how the chain works. This is the actual chain of reasoning:

1. What can Do point to?

1a. It's a global variable whose address is never leaked to anybody outside of the current translation unit. Therefore, all of the assignments I see to this variable constitute the complete set of possible values.

1b. The assignments are the global initialization to nullptr and the assignment to EraseAll.

1c. Therefore, the only possible values of Do are {nullptr, EraseAll}.

2. When I call Do, what can happen?

2a. If Do is EraseAll, I emit a call to EraseAll directly.

2b. If Do is nullptr, it is undefined behavior, and therefore I can replace this with any other behavior.

3. Okay, let's replace a call to a function pointer with a direct call to EraseAll, is that legal?

3a. If Do is EraseAll, yes, I'm calling the same function.

3b. If Do is nullptr, yes, it's undefined behavior, and calling a function is a valid refinement to undefined behavior.

4. It's safe to do so, therefore I'm going to call EraseAll.

It's not that undefined behavior doesn't exist, it's that any behavior is a valid refinement to undefined behavior. It would equally be a valid refinement to replace a null function call with a crash. Indeed, comment out NeverCalled, and the code is replaced with a SIGILL crash (it executes the ud2 instruction instead of calling an undefined pointer).
When will they be generally available if I preorder now?

I'd love to have Starlink for camping excursions this summer in areas where I can't even get cell service.
No runways on Mars, so takeoff could be difficult. Maybe we could do that once we have well prepared surfaces.
Helicopters can also hover and are much more manoeuvrable than fixed-wing.
Lift is proportional to density.
L = Cl x .5 x rho x v^2 x S
(L is lift, Cl a non-dimensional coefficient which depends on wing shape, rho is density, v is speed and S is surface area of the wing).
For fixed wing aircraft, v is speed of aircraft. For helicopters its the speed of the blade (when its in hover. When its moving forward its a bit more complex).

Haven't done the math but the aircraft has to be going pretty fast ('v' in the equation) to generate the required lift. This also means longer runway lengths.
Heroin isn’t dangerous.

Illegal heroin is very dangerous.

The long term road map for Ethereum 2 is 100k transactions per second. This is a theoretical maximum and it will likely take years to get there.

This defies your assertion that scaling cannot ever be achieved with current crypto approaches.
Sorry, I call BS. First, ranked by whom? Besides internet listicles, I mean. Second, those rankings, valid or not, are always a mix of legal and illegal drugs, with legal ones like alcohol, nicotine, and benzodiazepines sitting above heroin, morphine, and opium. Not to mention caffeine, which we begin feeding to children at extremely young ages alongside the amphetamines we pump them full of if they have trouble paying attention when locked in a classroom all day.

Third, as someone else says below, stories about your friends are also anecdotes. (I'm sorry, genuinely, that they died.) You don't know "the reality" of heroin because there are a litany of such realities - and here's a scientist telling you about his. The thousands (more?) who use heroin like my aunt uses a snifter of brandy at Christmas don't appear on anyone's radar because they're not dying and they're not rocking the boat. I could go on and on about the lives lost or ruined by alcohol in my family tree alone, let alone just "people I know", but I'm not terrified and calling to ban alcohol.

Finally, that so many people on a web forum whose userbase is wealthier, whiter, and way more privileged than the population at large rushing breathlessly into a post to call a black man (from the ghetto of Miami FL, no less) who uses small amounts of opiates "dangerous" is, excuse me, pretty effing rich. I thought tech-libertarians were supposed to be less reactionary.

I wonder if that weird rule if you accidentally send the wrong amount to a creditor comes from credit card industry lobbying. Say if a consumer accidentally sends $10,000 to his credit card company instead of $1,000. Consumer can’t claw back the money. Citibank has probably benefited from the law.
My initial comment is about the crime rate but he responded with a reference to the homicide rate, which is a clear deflection. For some reason the general person has a hard time reckoning with the fact that 1950s America was drastically safer than 2020s America. It’s very interesting.
