I don't understand why this is good or bad, can you please elaborate why this is a useful rule to follow?
I could be a weird outlier here, but smartphones are now cheap enough that I carry 2 (used to have 3 but I dropped one of them and smashed the screen). This means I can physically separate applications, plus run Lineage on one of them with "real" Android on the other. The newest phone I have is some Honor (Huawei) phone that cost £130.
Thanks! The list looks great! :)
VivaSlim Simple Promise
There are a few reasons that can be answerable for corpulence; hormonal irregularity, slow digestion, or unfortunate ways of life, all can eventually prompt it. Whatever the explanation may be, the best answer for defeat it is by fixing the genuine reason for the issue, and one possible approach to do this is by utilizing the VivaSlim supplement by Simple Promise.

>"Berlin has a massive undersupply of housing — a widespread phenomenon in western cities.

Usually, this means that prices tend to increase. That’s what used to happen in Berlin too. Then, a couple of years ago, the city municipality passed a controversial rent control policy that prevents price increase for at least 5 years.

It was a very bad idea: the market completely froze and became illiquid.

Housing supply contracted (instead of expanding), due to lack of financial incentives."

PDS: I've seen this exact same effect before, in other housing markets...

Also, a psychological observation:

Once people who have had a housing problem in the past find an adequate housing situation for themselves, they, not seeing housing as a problem anymore, are no longer inclined to vote for the politicians and/or public housing policies that would help large amounts of other people with their housing problems...

Housing, that is, getting the issues around housing exactly correct from a law/government/macroeconomic/public policy perspective -- with a rapidly expanding world population and many homeless people in the world's cities -- is, or will be, I think, as future historians look back in time:

One of the defining issues of Earth's 21st Century History...

I used JOE for a long time back in the day and I remember it fondly for plastering its documentation right onto the screen so you didn't have to look stuff up, as a beginner. This sounds embarrassing but I suspect others have had the same problem so here goes:

Back in the day (in the 90s) I was just starting out with linux, and had to install slackware from floppies I carried to school and to the library, a handful of packages at a time. I didn't have documentation packages installed yet, but I did have some howtos. So I had to edit some files, and I tried the "standard" editors - vi and emacs. I didn't know how to quit vi or emacs. I'd end up trapped in them, and eventually figured out I could Ctrl-Z and kill the process for vi. This didn't work on emacs so I'd end up switching to a second virtual terminal and then kill the emacs process. I had no idea what I was doing, and being unable to get out of a program and get back into a safe known state was quite traumatic to teenage me just getting into unixy stuff. JOE was there for me. It did what I needed it to do, it told me how to operate it, and I never once got stuck in it. Out of gratitude, I used it exclusively for years. It's zero bullshit, it edits files, it doesn't let you down.
I think it advantages people willing to move away from big cities, who tend to be older and have families, so that's a good thing actually.

Polyform is an awesome set of open-source licenses: https://polyformproject.org/licenses/

The choice of license is perhaps ambitious / premature. It is chosen so that I can add whatever features to the open-source version being confident that some startup (or possible even larger company) could not attempt to productize it themselves.
No, you don't "know" that your dataset is biased until you perform the statistic analysis explicitly. It might be that your neural net has a non-uniform weight distribution in some dimension (e.g. in time, or in the ordering of the training data), so dismissing any unwanted results by claiming "your dataset is biased" is a form of appeal to (artificial) authority.

These problems are actually good in that more organizations - especially big ones - realize that reliability is not something that you can outsource to a single provider and the problem magically disappears. Literally any service you depend on, from DNS to email, should be using redundancy so that when your basket gets squashed, you still have some eggs.

What’s missing is postcss-bem-linter

With it you can actually enforce bem like syntax, low specificity, so your scss plays well with the utility / composition methodology eg. tailwind but also custom utilities.

https://github.com/postcss/postcss-bem-linter#preset-pattern...

SuitCSS setting for postcssbemlinter is very good for vue/react components, less subjective imho than "block element", its "component root, descendant" instead.

https://github.com/suitcss/suit/blob/master/doc/naming-conve...

You declare the component for which the following css applies, eg /* @define UserAvatar */ , so the linting is far more useful. You’re linting the classnames to enforce consistent naming based on components, not just a stylistic choice.

Unfortunately it takes some work to setup a strict stylelint config and properly configure postcssbemlinter, maybe i should post mine as a gist ... there is no premade config afaik, I think very few people used this kind of strict linting... tailwind became succesful and people saw it as the solution, and completely disregarded the middle way in the process as if writing custom css was inherently bad.

Tbh many stylelint base rules seem pointless, like complaining about #ffddee should be written #fde..m who cares? Minifiers take care of this.

Sadly postcssbemlinter + Suitcss setting is a bit buggy around tailwind directives like @apply, but it’s functional enough used it two years on a nuxt project, with a strict low specificity config it really helped me rethink how to simplify selectors and avoid css spaghetti.

TLDR i feel like a thorough bem/bem-like linter is what’s missing from most projects still using scss, because i’ve seen some really awfull bem css, it’s not enough to have a guideline, it needs strict checking to improve css quality.

Current median home price in SF is $1.3M. 60% of that is $780k. You can definitely buy for that in Albany, Richmond, or El Cerrito. The nice neighborhoods in Richmond are basically in the south part of the city, anyway, which cuts down the distance. Unless you're talking about 30 minutes out in hardcore rush hour traffic, these cities will definitely fit the bill.

Daly City fits, since $1M is 77% of $1.3M -- not that I'd particularly like living in Daly City, but it is 23% less than buying in SF.

San Mateo median price is the same as SF, so, obviously, you don't look there for home bargains.

Seriously, just troll Redfin or Realtor.com sometime.

Edit: my bad re: 60%. I should be looking at $520k homes. There are definitely places in worthwhile neighborhoods in that range in Richmond. I've seen them. But, if you revise that number down to 40%, a lot of stuff opens up. So, 20-40% is a better range than 20-60%.

In the myths section:

> char is always 8 bits wide. int is always 32 bits wide

> Signed overflow is guaranteed to be wrap around. (e.g. INT_MAX + 1 == INT_MIN.)

Are there any current, relevant hardware architectures where this is not true (e.g. bytes are not 8 bits, and integers are not 2's complement)?

E.g. what's the point of "portability" if there is no physical hardware around anymore where those restrictions would apply?

Basically the video discusses how as the EV "revolution" takes places, what it means for the mechanics of the future, especially as cars come out of warranty and there isn't
an existing setup to cover these topics. But also, an important point is highlighted:

1- Existent mechanics will find it really hard to convert, since the skills required are far closer to an electrician's work set than a "mechanic's", and this will cause job losses.

2- technicians who gain experience working for the manufacturer's service center warranty repairs also will face difficulty when leaving the organization and working independently, especially on out of warranty cars... because manufacturers prefer easy bulk repairs rather than spend the labor hours on a person with a tester poking every cell in a pack for a broken fuse. Basically if Louis Rossman was mad about apple laptop repairs... this takes it to 11.

> Unsigned types are quite useful when doing bit twiddling because they don't overflow or have a bit taken up by the sign.

That's essentially their only application. The rest are stupid single-bit memory-size optimizations. As Jens Gustedt noted, it's one of the (many) misnomers in the C language. It should be better called "modulo" instead of "unsigned". Other such misnomers that I recall:

unsigned -> modulo
char -> byte
union -> overlay
typedef -> typealias
const -> immutable
inline -> negligible
static -> intern
register -> addressless

Ah yes, I stand corrected. It is difficult to discuss these things sometimes as everyone has a slightly modified definition of "open-source", etc.

Signed integers wrapping and 2’s complement are separate issues. C++20 specifies that signed integer are 2’s complement, but signed overflow is still undefined.

Although this is probably obvious to most people I like to be clear:

Working from home is great for employees. It seems likely that a solid majority of employees prefer WFH. But this is in the same vein as most employees would prefer to be paid without working anywhere full stop.

Employees are paid, in a large part, to do what their employers think is profitable. If there is a disagreement, the employee's opinion isn't really the guiding star. The question on WFH/Work from Work isn't what the employees prefer, it is almost strictly going to be about what employers think is more valuable.
You Can't Sample from a Dictionary in Python
> char, signed char, and unsigned char are distinct types, but that's only true of char.

That's correct, I was going to bring that up too.

This is particularly important because char and unsigned char are special in that they are an exception the aliasing rules. That is, in this function:

float foo(char* cp, float* fp) {
*fp = 7;
return *(float*)cp;
}
/* ... */
float f = 2;
float g = foo((char*)&f, &f);

Then g should end up equal to 7. That's true even if you change the type of the cp parameter to const char*! If you change "char" to "unsigned char" in both places then its behaviour stays the same, but if you change it to "signed char" in both places then it has undefined behaviour (if I've remembered everything correctly). Now I think about it, this conflation of char's use in the C standard has probably prevented a lot of optimisations where code was just using char* for strings rather than for potential aliasing.

Another point, which is very related, is that uint8_t and int8_t do not necessarily have to be a typedef for unsigned char / signed char or char, even if char is 8 bits wide. So you could end up with (at least) 5 types that are 8-bit wide!

Combined with the above aliasing rules only applying to char and unsigned char, that means you cannot reliably expect uint8_t to have that aliasing exception. Indeed, gcc originally made a new type of uint8_t and int8_t but that caused so many bugs that they ended up switching them to unsigned char and char (and I think Visual Studio has always done so).

> > Character literals (in single quotes) have the type (signed) int in C, but (signed or unsigned) char in C++.

> That's not correct. In C++, the type of a character literal is simply char, never signed char nor unsigned char.

I was going to bring this up too, although I wouldn't quite say it's outright incorrect because I'm not sure they were making the claim you think they were - it could be interpreted to mean that it's always char in C++ but by the way don't forget that could be a signed or unsigned type (note the lack of monospace font for their use of "signed" and "unsigned"). But probably best not to overanalyse it since they probably didn't know the types were distinct - the main thing is reiterate, as you've done, that it's always `char` regardless of whether that's signed or unsigned.

Maybe that the quotas are very low, or that there are quotas at all. Mainland Norway definitely doesn't have quotas like this; rather alcohol is simply made to be quite expensive.

When I read this my first thought was something like, "I bet that those who don't drink are making a bit of profit on the side by selling their allowances." However, I'm guessing that for Svalbard's dedicated drinkers ...they're finding a way around the import restrictions.

It would be interesting to hear how folks deal with the restrictions by someone that lives on Svalbard or has spent significant time there.
I didn't mean C is not fast or not faster than other languages. It's still the fastest one I believe.

What I meant is undefined behaviors allow compilers to optimize in a way that would not be possible otherwise. So, it might be a deliberate decision back then, to leverage performance. I don't know, just an idea.
