no worries, I wasn't sure what you intended but it didn't make sense so I asked.
Funny you should mention this. I once worked at a startup that stored lots of remote sensing data. Their strategy was to put it on a Synology. When the Synology filled up, they bought another, and so forth. Only some of the Synologys were online at any particular time, and there was no indexing to find which Synology held what data.

Plus, there were no backups so if one Synology were to blow up, all the data on it was lost.

Since they were a small startup it made some sense to start this way, but they had no plans on what to do about it as they got bigger.
They are into pre-election period. What else can possibly go wrong... :(
I strongly recommend having more than one zone. A datacenter being offline for a while or totally burning is possible. It did happen a few weeks ago and a lot of companies learnt the value of multi zones the hard way.
That is conventional wisdom, yes. That's why it's interesting to see data that suggests the contrary.
People underestimate AMD and mix it in together with the current Intel chips when talking about the M1. Ryzen is not far behind M1 in single thread performance and beats it in multi core. If Intel had not made all kinds of deals with laptop makers for exclusivity then the narrative would be totally different in my opinion.
Formal proof of program correctness tends to require that the software's purpose lies in a very narrow, and extremely well-defined problem space. The _Horizon_ software in-question is a general-purpose line-of-business system, which presumably has to react to ever-changing business requirements - that's probably the hardest space to implement formal-methods in - with little benefit for doing-so precisely because requirements change so often.

The places where you do see formal-methods would be in, for example, FADEC for aircraft engines, or an operating system process scheduler.
It won't be 100% Nazis. You'll also have the spammers, pedos, and assorted wingnuts.

Trolls can always take over unmoderated forums because while they can drive the reasonable users out by reducing the signal to noise ratio down to a useless level, the reasonable users have no power drive them out. It's a completely imbalanced power dynamic. All forums need some sort of moderation or they will always collapse once they grow beyond a fairly modest threshold.
Every day at work. My career is going nowhere. It took me a few years of getting screwed over to realize it.
I honestly don't understand why this headline is at all counterintuitive.

People are currently unhappy because of the pandemic, and people can point at that and understand that there's an exogenous cause right in all of our faces causing the problem and everyone is affected.

People are much more likely to commit suicide when they just believe that everyone else is doing fine and they're the only ones whose lives are shit.
They've moved down the street to a great new location and last time I was in there, a younger person was manning the desk (which I took as a good sign).
> It's just reddit for people who hate reddit.

That's true on a technical level only. But culture matters.

Attitudes like yours were why 4chan was such a surprise to the rest of us. The culture that we all thought was just "ironic" and "edgy" with its casual racism turned out to be... kinda actually racist when right wingers decided to weaponize xenophobia and bigotry. The groupthink of a bunch of almost-exclusively-male incels turned out to be hiding genuine misogyny once they had an enemy to point themselves at in gamergate.

Culture matters. Being an "open website" just describes how it happens, not why.
Not really since r&d don't provide quarterly returns for years sometimes decades. Government funding science is a good thing and obviously there is some waste but the net positive is far greater. Capitalism is good, but so is working together as a society (aka government) to develop new tech is also good. It's not a zero sum game despite what libertarians would have us all think.
Oh, I also didn't catch this:

> what types of topics or projects drive you to use Blender for conceptualization?

So I often have hobby projects (that I sometimes complete, heh) where I would rather sketch it out in Blender so I could more easily figure out what it is I want to build. Sure, I could be using something like Solidworks, but I've just never felt like I needed a full on CAD suite to do what I need. The process helps me design physical objects and decide what parts I'll need to either buy or 3D print.

One such example is a 16mm film scanner I've been meaning to build. I have a 16mm projector and collect 16mm films, and some films you can find on eBay are kind of obscure. So I thought it would be fun to build something to scan them since it would use my programming talent and involve controlling stepper motors.

That was actually where I gave up on Maya completely. I had used Blender for some things already so the transition was pretty easy, but I have more experience in Maya overall. After having it crash on something basic, not even potentially weird operations like booleans (which every other 3D software package gets right), I decided to abandon Maya entirely and hopefully I won't ever have to look back.
If you're serious, please do a write up. I'm sure TONS of people would appreciate a project like this.
Anyone who is living in India knows that cases are severely underreported in India. Government is publishing statistics saying city a has x covid deaths in a day. But crematoriums are seeing 10-20x body bags.

You don't even have to believe me. Just look up covid deaths for your city and then go to the city's largest crematorium and count the number of bodies in covid body bags.

There's obviously a lot of detail there, but it does still feel to me like more than £12M should have gone to the actual post workers. That's ~22k each.
I don't use slack a lot so this was new to me. Wow, kinda defeats the whole selling point.
Exactly this! I used to pirate everything because it wasn't available easily. We're rapidly approaching the same scenario. It's not "thieves" not wanting to pay; it's normal folks not wanting to desks with the growing consumer hostility.
There's a confluence of things affecting the older-process, more commodity chips as well:

- Demand for electronics as a whole, at all scales (from computers to cars to IOT to industrial controls and all kinds of other things that we don't think about) has been shooting up for the last decade (without compensating expansion in fabrication capacity). This is the 3rd serious supply shortage we've seen in electronic components in the last few years (anyone else remember seeing MLCC lead times hit 100 weeks in 2017-2018?).

- All of these supply lines running all the way back to the raw silicon operate with very lean (or no) supply buffers. Think "suppliers making deliveries directly to the factory floor" lean. These sorts of systems are not resilient, and do not respond well to shocks (like suppliers having to shut down due to a global pandemic).

- As has been commonly noted, there have also been demand shocks, where electronics consumers (especially car companies) who are normally operating on timelines forecasting out 6-24 months forecast reduced customer demand, reflected that in their orders, and then had to adjust back when demand for cars came back.

- Similarly, with people locked down and working from home, demand for electronics both for professional use and as a replacement for entertainment options has expanded.

- Finally, there are rumors (that I haven't been able to confirm in a meaningful way) that some large Chinese manufacturers have been stockpiling components in anticipation of further tariffs, sanctions and trade tension.
Cause that has been massively under reported. The real numbers are at least 10 - 15 times than whats been shown. There are crematoriums where a hundred bodies get burnt in a day and yet the official count stands below 10. And this is just 1 crematorium in one city. Extrapolate this for the entire country and then you'll realize whats actually happening.
You'd think that a fab would be one of the least likely work places where one would pick up covid. The air is constantly filtered, you're wearing bunny suits with face coverings and the density of people is pretty low.
EULAs are mostly invalid garbage - they include "TO THE FULLEST EXTENT APPLICABLE UNDER THE LAW" is clever lawyer-speak saying "this only applies if we can legally get away with it". They include that because if they didn't, then any explicitly illegal demand they made would void the entire contract.

Just because the EULA requires your firstborn son, doesn't mean they have any claim whatsoever.
This approval process kills the utility of Actions on mature projects where a very limited number of people have write access but has a fairly high volume of contributions, such as Rails and Django.

Quite disappointed. I assume GitHub has quite a few reputational indicators they could use, requiring approval for all first time contributors is a very blunt hammer.
It's worth noting that the Pepe meme has continued to evolve, and is no longer associated solely or primarily with 4chan. The streamer community in particular has adopted, rehabiliated, and popularized Pepe as a mascot and chat emote. For example, here's Pepe and the "poggers" meme in a recent stream from Pokimane, a streamer with over 7 million followers who made Forbes' 2021 30 under 30 list:

Lol "adults transacting a mutually agreed exchange should not be prohibited by law" "oh so you want to rape little babies then?" Come on man get fucking real. You're being obviously disingenuous. I can tell by the word hoops you're jumping through that you know there's no logic to your argument, you're deliberately using words like "eliminate harms associated with those" to gloss over the fact that the harms are different and have different causes. You have no argument along this line, and you know it, and making arguments you know don't hold up is banal and lowly.

I think "did well" is a spectrum. Some countries chose to enact very authoritarian lockdowns, and achieved success that way

And other countries had fourteen months of rolling half-assed lockdowns, and have achieved a few million sick, with tens-to-hundreds of thousands dead.

At this point, I can't imagine who in their right mind would prefer what we got, compared to one hard lockdown that solved the problem, requiring only minimal follow-up measures.

Someone with the right background and contacts should put it together, I think the smart move there is to not only plan on selling chips into regular markets, but to get into talks with customers to become a guaranteed supplier that derisks correlated shortages from other sources.
Some Male Birds Fly Under False Colors to Attract Mates, Study Suggests
Am in Australia a country that did quite well.

You answer seems very mask focused. Masks are good but my unexpert opinion of why things went well here include more;

- We had strict lockdown early.

- We has free and fast readily available testing. Generally fast both for walk in and get swabbed plus results back in less than 24hr both times I had a cold so got tested.

- There was restricted travel, so states locked themself off from other states. This I feel had a double effect as some state leaders were US style 'cant hurt the economy' and trying to keep things open. The lockdown states essentially erraticated covid and went back to normal while keeping the other states with covid locked out. This put pressure on less strict states to deal with covid more effectively + stopped them spreading across the country via their lack of containment.

- Keeping covid levels low allows contact tracing teams to work effectively on mini outbreaks and be effective. Essentially once overwhelmed govt can't deal with the issue well.

- We have fast and short lockdowns as soon as there are any cases to restrict spread, these lockdowns tend to be regional or state so only parts of the country are effected.

- Our population has largely supported government. Recently my state of QLD had a lockdown and people distanced in shops and wore masks without question or complaint for about 2 weeks even though there was only a handful of cases. Now it's gone and life is normal. These people online that scream about govt trying to control you seem so stupid... Deal with it quickly and you are more free.

Anyway, loads more detail and while I agree masks are great tool for COVID, I think the lockdowns, testing, keeping it under control initally and fast reactions are worth recognising as key components.

It's far from being as definitive as you say.

Trying to find with one of the best 5800U scores: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/7449909?baselin...

It's for 5800H which is at 45W where Ryzen can get a tiny edge.
They still do, Apple's MP3s are DRM-free, and you can download them with the iTunes desktop client. Another super handy way: Amazon.

Amazon's MP3 download store is DRM-free, but also, Amazon has an "Auto-Rip" feature that means often when you buy the physical music CD, they immediately give you the ability to download the MP3s for free. You get the real purchase of physical media, and the convenience of instant access.

Oh yeah I do agree that it's still very US-centered and a tad hypocritical.

I'd say it's mostly because there is an application process. Unlike for example travel guides where people go around the world to discover new places, IDA is waiting for those places to apply. If you add the language barrier, the quite long list of requirements and political actions to make to be able to apply, that only reduces the list of candidates.

I suppose there are also less-known local initiatives throughout the world. Here in France, we have the ANPCEN [0], fighting against light pollution and delivering labels to cities that take actions against light pollution (like shutting off the streetlights from 11PM to 5AM).

Single core Ryzen 7 5800U Geekbench scores are c20% lower than M1.

Multi core better but still lower but not too surprised as it's got 8 large cores vs big.LITTLE 4/4 for M1 - not clear when those cores will start throttling down.

Suspect single core performance is what drives apparent responsiveness so I'd say not too surprising that the M1 gets rave reviews from users.

I personally find performance optimization on an existing, high traffic system to be some of my favorite times as a developer. You have a large number, and you have to get it as close to zero as possible. There's no mystery as to whether you improved something and it has a tangible reward.
It was a big thing on Twitch long before any of the negative associations were made with it via media.
Honestly I don’t think masks have been the key to success in those places that did get down to zero. Instead, the key seems to have been:

* Border controls. Including internal borders in large countries.

* Tests

* Lockdowns implemented when needed and kept till cases zero, then lifted. These can be really short if you do it with small caseloads

* Acting fast with whatever action they take. No wait and see.

Masks are a great complematary tool, and they help limit the damage of reintroductions when they do happen. But if everyone wore masks but travel were open and testing was insufficient, you’d have plenty of covid.
Comments merged thither, since it was posted earlier. Thanks!

Sorry OP. Both articles are good. In the future we plan some sort of karma sharing so cases like this can be co-credited.
Apart from the new features added in C11 or C17 that others have mentioned, both Beej's Guide and Modern C also cover threads and string encoding (neither of these topics are covered in K&R 2nd edition, as far as I remember). Beej's Guide also has a section on internationalization and one about date/time handling.

But yes, the code is also quite different than in K&R which is relatively terse. See for example this comment in K&R about strcpy on print page 105 (page 119 of the PDF)[1], where after showing two versions of strcpy that are pretty readable and easy to follow, the book says:

> In practice, strcpy would not be written as we showed it above. Experienced C programmers would prefer

void strcpy(char *s, char *t)
{
while ((*s++ = *t++) != '\0')
;
}

Followed by a paragraph saying the condition could be simplified, and that

> the function would likely be written as

void strcpy(char *s, char *t)
{
while (*s++ = *t++)
;
}

Make of that what you will :-)

Why do you think this is not relevant? Everything that came out of 4chan is not a surprise, it was accepted there from the very beginning. It just took proportions that nobody would expect.
1- who the hell is "Moot"?
2- Back in the moot-run days of 4chan, it really was a completely different world. All the weird meme-culture we have now started there. /b/ was both the greatest and worst thing simultaneously. You had literal nazis and neckbeards working together to dox pedos. It was just a completely different place from what it's become all these years later.
Well that is service vs non service model. For example lets say you buy a ebook from Amazon. You expect the book to stay with you forever. It costs Amazon next to nothing to transfer the 5mb of book data I need to read the book. Compare that with subscription to Kindle unlimited. You get some books you can read but lose access to them once you unsubscribe.

You are not being lied to in the subscription model but it seems the digital buying isn't quite honest.

Of course, there is the argument that we risk developing resistant bugs. But the truth is, if suddenly all mosquitoes were moved magically to the US, you would see the drug massively used for everybody without a second though.

You know it is not book burnings that concern me (they do a bit). It is more re-editing that will start to happen once they get the tech just right. They will edit problematic people in and out of old movies. At first it will be used for advertising. Such as switching one cola for another in scenes or a billboard in the background. It will be something like 'restaurant X has given us money to change billboards for a year'. Next year 'car company Y has given us money to change billboards for a year'. Then they will go bonkers with it. Do not like the dialog, because they said something you no longer agree with? Well run it through a couple of programs and they are now saying something else, or new and upcoming actor someone wants to promote. So you will see something then a few months later it will be edited and you will never see what you saw before.

Oh and it is already happening with adverts in some streaming movies.
>like saying Reddit users form a coherent community

Which, let's be fair, people do all the time, especially here.

Also, plenty of people who frequent 4chan and defend it against criticism often speak of its culture and how outsiders don't understand its quirks, so clearly it does have something of a coherent community.

What I'm saying is that in a well run DA's office, a docket consisting mostly of cases that plead out is what you'd want to see, because the alternative suggests that prosecutors are bringing shaky cases to court, which they should not do, because prosecution itself inflicts grievous costs on defendants.
These are all really good points, thank you for typing them out.
