Yes, but it's not scanning the entire string, it's scanning at most 256 bytes. In MSVC, the number of bytes scanned is `M*N` where M is the number of calls to scanf and N is the size of the file. In musl, N is now 257, no matter the size of the file. Compared to ~10MB of data, that's basically free.

Sure, it's scanning a bit more than maybe it needs to, but it's much closer to a non-scanning libc in the amount of data it's consuming.

Maybe where you are from but here in eastern Europe you can get a cushy job and work at 20% of effort and live an upper middle class life just from 1 good connection. Then you can work you ass off in college but in the wrong industry where there are no "well paid jobs for hard working people" around where you are and live a barely middle class life. The sad part is people do succeed from here by working hard but byoving away to where the job is, often half a world away, leaving behind everything, friends, family. Did they work hard and "succeed"? Yes, but at what cost. Meanwhile lucky people were born at the right time in the right family. We should both equalize the starting positions and especially make sure your lowest low still gives you medical insourance, a place to stay and food to eat. At least it's laughable how many people in USA don't have proper health care

Roberts has an industry and an ideology to protect. It only makes sense that she would say such things.

EDIT: clarity
Five index funds.
It's nowhere near the majority case, but I have definitely met freeloader panhandlers when they were off duty. One was an older couple who made their grandkids put on ratty clothes and hold signs in the city, so they could continue living on the road in their very nice RV. I met them at a campground when I was a kid, and the grandkids accidentally let slip that "the bank" was code for panhandling.

The other was clearly a bit mentally unhinged. He pulled up in a very nice Mercedes with a bunch of weird slogans silkscreened on the back window that would put Qanon to shame, but this was in 2004. If I remember right he showed us his fine suits in the trunk of the car. Told us about his private compound where he lived. Then proceeded to dance and sing in the middle of the street in his bum clothes.
100x the block size would mean the blockchain would grow by around 6 TB every year, which would make running a full node impractical for regular consumers. And it would still only have the capacity for everyone in China to do about one on-chain transaction per month.

It's unclear to me what the financial incentive to run a full node is at all -- from what I'm reading, you don't need one to mine, and you don't get any reward just from running a node. So if it becomes expensive (20 TB hard drives, big pipe for bandwidth) to run a full node, who will want to do it? I suppose the exchanges would run some nodes, if only to keep the coins they trade in functioning.
It's chapter 5 of the Debian Policy Manual.
I think the causality is that it was not great because Google did not care about improving it. So it got stuck in time and then Facebook kept improving. Even a strategy of copying Facebook’s innovations (like FB does in Instagram and WhatsApp) would an improvement.

Of course we will never know, but I think that betting on Orkut would have a better chance of facing Facebook than starting from scratch with Google+
RSR Group | Orlando, FL | REMOTE (prefer EST) | Full-Time | Full Stack Developer

We're looking to bring on another Full-Stack Developer. We have 2 tech stacks, depending on context, but our primary stack for this role is Nginx, Python/Django and MySQL. We're getting ready to introduce React into the production codebase as well. The other stack, where experience is welcome, is Nginx, PHP and MySQL on a custom framework.

Our web team is relatively new (4 years) and we're still figuring things out as we go. We self-host gitlab and Jira, use Confluence for our knowledge base, but do not follow any defined methodology such as agile, scrum, etc. In practice, we're probably closer to waterfall than anything. No CI/CD, but hopefully something we can add to our pipeline this year. All this means there is room for you to come in and make an impact, but we need someone who can roll with the punches and get things done.

You're often responsible for the full SDLC as we can get very high-level project outlines and are tasked with building out requirements by communicating with business units to understand scope and design of the project. You'll need to be comfortable with owning a project from beginning to end, however you're almost always working in an established codebase.

RSR Group has been around 40+ years, has great benefits and competitive pay.

HHVM Jump-Start: Boosting Both Warmup and Steady-State Performance at Scale
>Microsoft has moved a lot of staff from Azure to GitHub and since then GitHub has taken a dive in quality and reliability of their services for sure.

Github has had availability issues for about a decade now, but I'm sure it's Microsoft's fault that their MySQL clusters have high replication times[0].

> I'm even surprised that they decided to replace GitHub's own work with Azure DevOps's code. Feels more like a slow organisational move from DevOps to GitHub and for marketing purposes replace GitHub's Python, Go and other code with C#.

This is not true, no code from GitHub has been "replaced" with .Net since Github never had a CI solution. Github was and still is a Ruby shop running MySQL. My understanding is that large parts of the actions codebase is still written in Ruby, but under the hood the CI jobs themselves run using the Azure Devops Pipelines infrastructure.

In general blaming uptime on a programming language is the wrong way to think about it. Outside framework level failures like GC memory leaks it shouldn't really matter what programming language you use when it comes to uptime. Things like architecture, database availability, caching, capacity planning, and redundancy are far more operationally important.

>So far the only big projects using .NET have been Bing (of course lol) and StackOverflow. Microsoft has been longing for something else to finally use .NET for a respected project. Since nothing happened organically they had to buy their way in :P

What? C# is consistently in the top 5 most used programming languages in the world in most surveys[1][2]. Why would they care about adding some marginal new project when it's used in almost every Microsoft product?

I can't help but assume this idea seemed much more compelling when Intel was still selling Omnipath.
Two problems with this argument: (1) it ignores the externalities: flamebait creates flamewars, which destroy the site. No doubt house fires can be exciting to watch and even interesting in a certain way, but we still have to put them out and it's still a crime to set them;

(2) one type of bad comment doesn't justify a second type of bad comment—you should post good comments instead. The answer to sophisms is not internet dreck.
Bad decisions can have good outcomes. People are notoriously bad at predicting the future, so really it depends on how often you get lucky. I think charisma has the greatest effect on this.

3 of my projects have been on the frontpage of Hacker News for several hours each.

I'm a Triplebyte certified top 10% Generalist, Frontend, iOS, Android, and DevOps engineer.

I'm also familiar with Product Management, leading the development of a game with retention and ratings better than 75% of all games.

I'm a Scrum practitioner and I enjoy talking to users. My team delivered features faster than 4 competitors combined with the same amount of manpower.

I know how to make high-performance software.

I'm young and open to learning new technologies.

I'm a deep generalist. "Python" means I'm a language expert who designed a library with 3,000+ downloads every month with the lead engineer at a Swiss security camera company. "C/C++" means I'm familiar with templates, microprocessor internals for optimizing code, memory layout optimization, compiler optimizations, and more. "HTML/CSS" means I know the name of every existing and upcoming Web API, have used the most popular ones several times, and can optimize websites to load quickly. "Sketch/Figma" means I have every keyboard shortcut in my muscle memory. "Heroku" means I've deployed and maintained enough applications on the platform to find and report a Denial-of-Service security hole in Heroku. "JavaScript" means I've spent months reading about JIT internals and know every part and proposed part of the language. "Grafana" means I've done multiple deployments of it for multiple projects. "GPT-3" means I learned a repeatable technique to skip the waitlist and get access to it directly in less than 24 hours.

I've only listed technologies I'm deeply familiar with. That list would be way too long. That list would start with: I've gone to production with Jekyll, Ghost, Selenium, Materialize, Webpack, Cloudflare, Namecheap, SVG, ... you get the idea.

I'm looking for a mid-level (Senior) or high-level (CTO, Staff) position.

Junk Charts: Vaccine researchers discard the start-at-zero rule
But they’re not dropping it in favour of powering everything from the traction battery , they’re just moving to a lithium 12v. Seems kinda of pointless and only adding cost when they fail.
Yes, absolutely that is one, probably major factor.

But that those people could even get there and do that was caused by the rise of frameworks and GC languages.

A person no longer needed to:

1. understand how things worked, in many cases you could just do some tutorials and start producing things that kinda worked but underneath were a pile of garbage

2. No longer needed to worry about memory or optimization so wrote more pile of garbage

I'm not saying we want to go back there, but if everyone had to write C, C++, Rust, or one of the functional languages:

1. We'd have a lot fewer people in the industry

2. Overall quality of code would be higher, though I'm sure more C/C++ would have led to more memory and security issues also or perhaps not..

> If you came from a family that did pretty well financially, went to college and then immediately started to do pretty well yourself, it’s hard to get any kind of context for what life is like at lower income levels.

America is hugely segregated by wealth and class. Where I come from you wouldn't need to read an article to describe what its like to be poor as there would be enough examples in your neighborhood, church or school. Americans live in these bubbles.

Its a problem where I would rather live in a working class neighborhood and send my kids to public schools when all my colleagues live in fancy towns with fancy schools. I like to keep my kids real but maybe I'm capping them.
It will most likely not do all this. It s sad and bad, it's happening and our fault, but there has been costal cities in trouble before, people already mass migrate in time of despair without the need for the climate, and wars happen for far less.

You can roll up agonizing in fear, or you can prepare yourself for a bit of struggle. We can help lower the impact, but there's no reason to panic.

Most likely the impact on humanity will be minimal, if not the impact on life itself will be medium, and the Earth will spin a few more cycles with or without us.

This doesn't really matter, and we should just take it calmly, and talk to each other. No need for end of the world nuclear war hysteria.

I bet there's a lost history (or oral history, but they're the nearly same after 60+ years) of tools exactly like this that goes back to the times of the PDP-1 and super early hacker culture.

And I bet there's been a version of it written for every operating system at some point. It just seems so necessary and relatively straight forward.

=========

I'm a senior full stack software engineer that's filled many roles. At SmartPath (YC S16), I built their mobile app from scratch using React Native, GraphQL, Node and Postgres. Additionally, I took the lead as architect on all tech related products, including a custom CRM and multiple client facing apps.

During my free-time, I created an open source matrix client called Syphon (https://github.com/syphon-org/syphon). I value privacy and freedom in software, and hope to find a company where these ideals will apply. I could best help an early-stage team building out their MVP or reworking existing products to best adapt to a new product direction. I have a passion for affecting positive change and crafting delightful user experiences regardless of the tech stack used.
This kind of dismissive attitude toward peoples' problems is unhelpful. Following your line of reasoning, there are people with crippling diseases in the world. People worrying about a place to live etc should remember that their problems are child's play compared to theirs. And those people should remember their problems are child's play compared to someone being targeted by genocide.

There are nearly 8 billion people in the world. You can always find someone worse off, that doesn't mean people are undeserving of empathy if they aren't the one single worse off human being. This sort of worst-off competition is dehumanizing.

I would argue that it's hard to save enough for college at any income, due to need-based financial aid (aka perfect price discrimination by ogopolists). Most need-based systems take into account parents' income and college savings, and children of software engineers in particular are going to be near the part of the curve where that starts to bite.

I randomly chose Princeton's financial aid calculator because it was close to the top of Google. For a family with two working parents, two kids (one entering college), and $250k in home equity in Illinois (the middle of the USA):

* For a $100k/year SWE + a $25k/year something else and no college savings the expected family contribution is $30k/year

* The same family with $250k saved in a 529 college savings plan is $45k/year

* For a $125k/year SWE + a $50k/year something else and no college savings the expected contribution is $50k/year

* The same family with $250k saved in a 529 college savings plan is $66k/year

* The same family with $450k in home equity is expected to pay $75k/year (I guess you're expected to take out a home equity loan to pay for college).

* Make the family renters with $50k/year income (30k+20k), and their contribution drops to $4.4k/year.

The point is: The more you save, the more you need to save. And the more you make, the more you need to make.

That's not to say need-based tuition is bad policy. But, it does mean that "surely it's easy to pay for college with your level of income" doesn't really come into play until you reach the top 1-2% of income.

Everyone below that is going to have their tuition adjusted to make the out of pocket cost painful but bearable, and the average SWE isn't a 1%-er.
My experience is that customers don't even want a reject option, and that pricing is not really part of the question.
I'm the same way, sans the cold calling experience. Would much rather drive down to talk to someone at the counter vs. calling the business from home.
