I took four years of engineering in university and work in software now, and one gif on your page made inductors click intuitively for me in a way that so many courses did not -- thank you!
I loved playing your last project Turing Tumble with my daughter. So I am really looking forward to your new project.

Now that you mention it, I know the names of a few of the roguelikes I play. I think part of this stems from it being the work of very small teams that ALSO do all their own game marketing, so your “representative” for the game is the creator themselves.

Dwarf Fortress comes to mind, and I know it’s made by Tarn and his brother, but I don’t know their last name…but I guess it’s not exactly modern.

Similarly, Kyzrati/Josh Ge, of Cogmind & REXpaint fame, and pender/Brian Walker.

To the point above about “who does the representing,” even though I happen to know their names, I think of them by their monikers, pender and Kyzrati, not their real-world names.
I think the real problem stems from the mismatch between modern processors and the processors C was originally designed for.

C programmers want their code to be fast. Vanilla C no longer gives them the tools to do that on a modern processor. Either the language needs to be extended or the compiler needs to get more creative in interpreting the existing language. The latter is the least disruptive and it doesn't stop judicious use of the former.

So, in short, UB is what gives room for the compiler to be more creative without the programmer having to change their code. It wasn't a reading error, it was an opportunity the compiler devs enthusiastically embraced.

I recognize the huge amount of time and effort that went into make cURL, but I agree that the gigantic number of options are distracting. When I read the cURL man page, I have a hard time finding what I want because there are literally dozens of screens of options.

That said, I still will reach for cURL even when simpler options exist because it's ubiquitous. Same thing with Bash, grep, and sed.

And here I'm complaining when they stop doing that. Try a search for coronavirus and Google has hardcoded "official" results about COVID-19 (which is just one of many coronaviruses).

The problem is often, the managers themselves don't know it.

I've seen so many managers cargo culting what they read somewhere, and force their teams to do it.
I used to flip cheap (like buy non-running for $500 or less, do work, sell for $1k-2k) cars of all types. I was space and time limited to I made money on throughput so I sold stuff below market to make it go quick. You'd think Tacomas and similar would be great because if you can get in for cheap you can sell for $$$, right? Wrong. I eventually stopped buying Tacomas/4Runners because the prospective owners were entitled jerks. No, having a ton of door dings and a roof that's beat to crap from hauling stuff on it does not entitle you to a discount on a vehicle in a price segment where price is determined by raw functionality. No I will not accept partial payment in weed regardless of what the street value is because I'm not a street pharmacist. The screening mechanism I wound up using was if someone called about a Taco/4Runner and they weren't having a tough time speaking in English I didn't want to deal with them and I'd tell them it was sold. Even then it was still a massive waste of my time because I'd have to answer 50 calls from non-serious buyers in order to get someone who was likely to show up and do the deal without making a problem out of themselves so I stopped buying those vehicles. Contrast with selling random commuter shitboxes where if you price it below market someone who is hard up for transportation will show up, pay asking price and both parties can walk away highly satisfied with the deal. Like FFS I'm successfully dealing with the stereotypical "problem customer" demographics and yet Toyota people manage to find a way to make problems out of themselves.
AirPods Pro: Noise cancellation in earbuds alone is worth the price but with the introduction of spatial audio in Apple Music, the price is even more justified. Listen to Radiohead's Live from the Basement!

> It's easy to pick on undefined behavior in C when you focus on the more gratuitous undefined behaviors such as signed overflow or oversized shifts.

I wouldn't even mind the signed integer overflow thing that much if there were a reasonable way in standard C to check whether a signed operation would overflow.

It's not impossible to do correctly in a compiler independent way, but ridiculously hard. And slow.
> The C standards have the perfectly fine name "implementation dependent" to describe those things.

That term is not used by the C standards. Do you mean "implementation-defined"? asm is not among the explicitly specified implementation-defined behaviors, it's listed under "Common extensions". I don't see any mention at all of syscalls in C99. (I'm working with http://www.dragonwins.com/courses/ECE1021/STATIC/REFERENCES/... here.)
Classifying a minor crime as a minor crime does not imply "Ignore minor crimes", esp. considering the minor crime can carry significant jail time. Lack of consistent enforcement (and the root cause behind that) appears to be the issue.

Remarkable 2, I use it for at least an hour every day, reading, taking notes, exploring ideas etc. I had a notebook before but I just scribbled in it when I needed to think visually, but it wasn't something I'd do very often.
This looks really cool!, congrats for the launch!

I noticed you're using Sequelize as an ORM for the Node.js version and was wondering if you evaluated other libraries for that.

I work at Prisma [1] and we're building a new kind of ORM for Node.js and TypeScript. We've also seen that many library authors (e.g. KeystoneJS, RedwoodJS, Blitz, Amplication, Wasp, ...) [2] and fullstack templates like Bedrock [3] are picking Prisma as their ORM instead of tools like Sequelize, TypeORM or lower-level libraries like knex.js.

I'm just curious to learn whether you were aware of Prisma and what made you pick Sequelize for this project in case you evaluated other options too :)

> it doesn't need to care about your feel and whether you want to be in the loser pack
> as for the people, well, good luck.

I am more and more direct nowadays to point out the ridiculousness of comments like this:

This type of comments do not square with the facts in even the slightest sense.

China runs the world's largest and most successful poverty elimination program. How can a government doing this not care about you in the loser pack? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/11/27/asia...

In essence, a lot of such comments treat CCP as some kind of bizarre imaginary entity that automatically possess any negative traits for the topic being discussed.

Of course, the distribution of positive & negative comments are certainly always mixed.

But boy, oh boy, I never seen a single comment actually showing a decent understanding of CCP's functioning nowadays, in my 10+ years on hackernews.

Not a single comment.

Wow
my memory is hazy and i might have confused population percentages with cohort percentages, but the real point is that not only is the return greater for higher income audits[0] but it sustains a fairer and more robust economy. we’re currently doing it backwards, and that got worse (in overall funding, tax policy, and audit targeting, at least) under a purported billionaire presidency for obviously self-serving reasons.

An NAD C368 amplifier, with a Bluesound Node 2i. The amp sounds good, and the Node thing can stream almost anything. However, before you buy an amp, listen to it, preferably with your own speakers, and in your own room. Otherwise, listen to it in the store in combination with similar speakers.

A Philips automatic espresso machine. It's not high end (at all), and looks rather average, but it makes a fine espresso, and is easy to clean and maintain.
This is the natural consequence of every college prep high school teaching the dreaded 5 paragraph essay, and in turn students learning on how to load it with as much fluff as possible. Instead we should have focused on clear and concise writing. I didn't learn how to write properly until college. Quality over quantity.
Yeah, but how many programmers write database engines? That's mostly a don't-reinvent-the-wheel thing.

Also, Amazon basics zero gravity chairs. I use them outside and inside. They're steel and sturdy and mesh recliners, good for getting sun, reading, coding, etc

If you're walking a dog regularly, a harness and a hands-free leash (literally a belt with a carabinier) lets you have 2 hands free to write stuff on aforementioned notepads
how about doing something to stop elon musk scams on the platform.

Something as simple as auto-flagging any account that changes its name and picture after posting to elon musk , or if an account changes its name and picture and then subsequently posts to musk, could help. Fase positives are problem with any solution.

But also, the scam is so hard to stop and and so persistent in large part because it is so profitable for the scammer. This creates a great incentive for the scammer to devote considerable effort to evading twitter's efforts to stop it. Just making .1 btc is like a year's worth of wages if you live in a poor country, and people send way more than that. It beats selling v1gra, p0ker, etc. Nothing comes close to it.
>Loss aversion is perfectly reasonable.

Is your claim that the disproportionate level of aversion is reasonable? It's my understanding this is the actual heart of the claim, not simply "people don't like losing things" but rather "people hate losing things even more than they like gaining the same thing."

Related: the endowment effect. "The endowment theory can be defined as "an application of prospect theory positing that loss aversion associated with ownership explains observed exchange asymmetries."[1]. The asymmetries as evidence that it is actually not reasonable/rational.

In Romanian "a utiliza" is "to use". I imagine it's the same in other Latin languages. So, see the original comment :-)
No, other users can easily institute a new lower difficulty in the upgrade to counteract the drop in POW from the defection of miners.

The subservience of miners to users at large in the determination of the market leading fork is best exemplified in the scenario of users switching to a PoS chain. In this case the miners have no power to sabotage the upgraded chain.

JustinGuitar.com! Really excellent beginner course, took me about six months to go through. I'm now moving into the intermediate stuff, and also branching out on my own into learning classical guitar.

The main key of course is to play and practice a lot. Like any other skill, you really have to put the hours in.
You can also use nail polish - will block some of the light and change the hue. As many different shades of polish available as you can imagine. Some shades block more light than others
>embarrassing for a tech company of twitter's size

I'm a heavy user of Twitter. They have the most ridiculous bugs all the time

Let me list a few I can remind in recent two years:

1. A serious bug that makes the private lists' name, member count, and description visible to everyone for half a way

2. ANOTHER private list exposure bug after a year

3. Lots of their features are semi- or totally broken, the most obvious example being Moments. Some minor ones are like "twitter anniversary" etc.

4. Media files being totally lost/404, especially for some older tweets

5. UI: "Checked" mark for adding people to lists being invisible for at least a week

5.1. UI: some UI elements suddenly become black for a few weeks regardless what theme you use

6. Outage: Like function broken for almost a day

7. Outage: Timeline broken (no update) for half day

8. This probably isn't a bug but a "shadow block" feature, but I can't follow some accounts (and their following/follower count doesn't show) if my IP is in certain region.

9. Huge feature disparity between web and app, or iOS and Android

And needless to say, their support is beyond unhelpful, and they don't really have a proper place to report technical issues/bugs of their service.
Wish I had this as a kid but still excited to own it once it's released!
Sounds great! Goodluck!
it's also generally preferred because it can avoid certain narrowing conversions in construction: https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines...
That phrase is so well known, i think some Indian speakers now avoid it when speaking to British or American speakers!

The one that sticks in my mind is "club" as a verb meaning "group". "We will club these events together into one message for efficiency".

I'd bet that they had most ports blocked and the attackers used multi-stage tunnels. Details like that probably just don't make it into a Wired article.
Yes the second part of the sentence is mainly saying "that person", and doesn't indicate the gender.

You may be surprised on how this ambiguity can be beneficial, specially in teenage years when talking about your "friend" will not reveal their gender :)
I don't know about "non-native" but words tend to lose the hyphen over time when their usage becomes more common. A recent example is e-mail, old texts contain the hyphen but more recent books and articles will likely omit it. It doesn't stop just there though, even the word tomorrow used to be hyphenated, you can find it as to-morrow in the book "The adventures of three Englishmen and three Russians in Southern Africa."

Current chips on latest nodes are hitting limits of copper interconnect.

First, copper deposition gets more, and more defect prone at small feature size — "bad fill"

Second, even if you get ultra tiny M0, then the contact is rather poor.

At such small dimensions the barrier layer that protects silicon from copper might itself stop behaving like a metal, that's why new interconnects go away from copper for M0 to eliminate the barrier layer.
Got an Ooni pizza oven. Not quite as useful during lockdown as I might have hoped but it's given us something to do in the garden, and I can't wait to take it camping and to festivals.

I've really ended up liking my Moonlander keyboard. I wasn't initially sold onsplit keyboards at all, and it's taken me a while to end up with a layout I'm happy with, but I've just about caught up on typing speed and feel far less cramped. Plus it plays chiptunes.

Also I can't necessarily recommend a particular brand, but I bought myself a soldering station for the first time ever. Been a long time since I was interested in electronics or computer hardware in particular, but it's been really satisfying fixing various bits of equipment in my house.

When I went to high school in the mid 2000s I remember it being the dawn of zero-tolerance policies for everything major and minor. Parents were also suing schools, and I think those policies were a bit of a to reaction that.

Kinesis gaming edge with silver keys. It's helped my wrists more than any other keyboard I've tried. I can't believe I waited this long to buy something like this (split keyboard).

A Heil PR40 microphone and an "Evo 4" usb-c XLR input. I got my microphone used on Craigslist by just waiting for a month or so until something I wanted popped up at the right price (~50% of retail). It's incredibly useful having a good quality microphone, and it seems most people really appreciate the audio quality.

New non-stick pans, and some really good knives (Wusthof) have made cooking myself meals a lot faster and therefore more pleasant. The non-stick pans making cleaning up things like eggs take literally seconds out of my day instead of minutes vigorous scrubbing. Knives also help prepare food much faster; truly, it's crazy the quality of life boost from being able to slice things faster/easier.

We all have the same problems! Roomba 765 (a bit old and noisy, there are quieter models) since two years here: cat and SO's long hairs so I regularly need to use scissors to "free" the rollers.

Thing with the robovacs here: when you empty their bin and see how much dust they catched, you know they're very useful. We buy (and I build) furnitures and arrange our home so that the Roomba can go underneath them. I wouldn't for example buy a sofa under which the Roomba couldn't vaccuum.
I agree with this. I put Hue light bulbs in almost all of my rooms and a strip on my porch. I set them up with HomeKit and now I always come home to my lights on and they turn off automatically when they leave the house. I use the automatic color changing by time of day built-in to HomeKit and it definitely helps with warm colors at night but brighter and cooler during the day. And everything essentially has a dimmer now. And being able to control the lights from my phone or with voice commands is super convenient. I've got the full color lights, but realistically I really only need the shades of white and HomeKit connectivity to use the features that I regularly use.
Yep! The reverse is somewhat true as well. When I had to get a photo ID in France I couldn't remember whether «noir et blanc» was idiomatic and in that order, so I said «monochrome» instead. The photographer was impressed that I knew such a "technical" photography term.
Thinkpad X280, i7 quad w/ 16G memory and 500G SSD. It was on clearance since the model is a couple years old, but holy crap this thing is fast. And so much lighter than the last system I owned with a fast quad core (4-5 KG). My last computer lasted me almost a decade, so with the rate technological progress has slowed (barring M1), this system should last me 15 years or so.

Other than that it would have to be my Unicomp model M repro, or the plants I've filled my home office with. All together it has made the experience of being a technical human so much better.

I don't know the contract with clients or anything but "didn’t actually need to tell their customers" seems totally illegal to me if the RSA is the provider of one of the most fundamental layer of security to large companies. It is a PR piece. Not saying that RSA likely did the best they could do to be secured from the hack, but this story is a pr piece.
I'm talking about native English speakers. It's not as grating if it comes from a non-native speaker, who you know hasn't mastered the language yet. When a native speaker says it, it feels like they should know better and are intentionally trying to make themselves sound smart.

I think the best point in this article is that C, a language invented to write OS code, is currently difficult to use for that purpose due to the current handling of undefined behavior. If you write low level OS code, you are keenly aware of the behavior of the machine you target. There is no point trying to define a language like C in such a way that the only valid programs are those that would run identically on any hypothetically allowed hardware. For instance, on x64, there are no alignment restrictions, why should I be punished for making use of that fact? And what about all this C code with SSE intrinsics? should we ban that too?
Ha ha! Thanks so much!
