Well, in Brazil, the president (Borsalino) is promoting ivermectin as covid treatment. I can tell you is not working at all.

Well, that puts a damper on something that was already sad.
> Not everyone is going to be happy about 8 bytes overhead for every buffer.

Then prefix it with four bytes (which, if you omit the trailing NUL, adds three bytes in total). If your C strings are longer than 2^32 bytes, you're probably doing something wrong.

I also should point out that memory is typically cheap. Cache is more precious, and I'd expect on balance adding a length would pollute the cache less than scanning through the whole string unnecessarily.

But I agree with your second point:

> Also, not every C-style API will migrate. If you consume one of those, you may still have to count the length, which costs cycles.

Similarly, the article started with this text:

> Like them or not, null-terminated strings are essential to C, and working with them is necessary in all but the most trivial programs.

You can do things nicely in your own code, but you still need NUL-terminated strings when dealing with existing code. And dealing with existing code is often the reason to pick C...

The US subsidizes industries pretty frequently - especially agricultural.

If foreign goods are subsidized, the most obvious thing to do would be to raise a levy to the amount of the subsidy, and probably to enact other anti-dumping measures.

To the extent that business was confident those measures would remain in place, the 'free market price' (heavy quotations) may be enough to provide for material investment.
Exactly. My only issue is that if I have a high level diagram and create sub diagrams, then the sub diagrams look very different due to their own layout. But the time save is huge.

This is another reason I have settled on Markdown, R Markdown driven documentation and even presentation. The 2 dimensional presentation created via Markdown and Revealjs is much faster and looks great and best of all it forces you to limit how much content to write in a slide and I don’t have to worry about layout.
The government should also invest its capital in the projects that it believes will benefit the country. The people should have a say in the matter, they’re technically the investors after all.

Even fully up to date there is always another zero day, so for individuals doing nothing of particular importance the best bet is good up to date backups of the important files and when your software tools are working well to help you get whatever it is you do done, don’t change them, and don’t update them, because odds are there will be some regression, some feature removed, a change to a subscription model, some functionality now depends on the Internet, or some level of telemetry/spying.

Software has become hostile to users. Everything is nearly malware now. Easily snap shotted and sandboxed VMs are just about the only way to maintain some level of consistency over a 5-10 year span where you are depending on the software to just keep doing what it is doing.

>The left seem to have a certain libertarian bent if anything

My understanding was that the "left and right" is more or less orthogonal to the "authoritarian vs libertarian" dimension. The authoritarian forms of both are absolutely terrible, that's why we have democracy: so they can do their best to cancel each other out.
I agree that this story is one sided. If I wanted a closure with Peter, it would be in some kind of legal setting. But I have moved on.

I just want to use this opportunity to let fellow entrepreneurs realize the importance of picking the right immigration legal help and to not letting things get messed up on the government front

Many people on this thread are thinking of getting some kind of immigration status in US but either are outside US or are within US on H1/L1.

In hindsight I wish I had never applied for a US Green Card. My immigration situation has complications largely because Peter's bad advice.

The worst part was when he stopped responding as soon as he realized that he has screwed up my situation beyond repair. I was in a particular vulnerable situation on the personal front at that time, so it made it even worse.

If you look at my past threads, I am in a much better situation now. As I said, my sole reason of these posts is to help others not get into a bad situation like I did.

There's a lot of talk about the tinkering culture of Shenzen, but is it really related to innovation?

Has Shenzen become a startup hub? What large startups have come out of it?
Ok, but let's not get confused. This is different than being an anti-vaxxer. You can speak up for something like Ivermectin AND be a pro-vaxxer. The most prominent voice on this is Bret Weinstein (biology PhD), who is more vaccinated than average. He and his wife and kids are vaccinated for the typical things plus typhoid, rabies, yellow fever... They are pro-vaccine and so am I. Vaccines are one of the best inventions ever.
> net profit from investment each year

Ah, so no growth, no taxes. I see what your did there.
You need to show nexus mostly for tax related matters. If you are slighted by a foreign company you can still receive a judgement against them or their functionaries, and in extreme matters the company and its distributors would start having issues with CBP and with their banks.

The damages required for such issues can be quite high, $50-75k for federal court filing, but existing precedent would allow you to go after distributors in a local court for a lower amount.

I also had experience leading both talented and heavily invested teams. Differently from your experience, we were able to get the team hyper productive and accomplished a lot of good things together. A couple lessons I learned:

- Micromanaging and "make them accept their role" is how you make them unproductive. Smart/talented people can tell if the manager doesn't care. They know if they are being forced to be a cog in the machine. They either become frustrated and quit, or resigned into doing just enough work 9-5.

- Having talented and invested folks voicing ideas that aren't in alignment with the current technical vision is a critical signal you should take note. That may mean you don't have a good Tech Lead that can convince those folks why the current approach is good. It's not the job of those folks to "align" with the Tech Lead. It's the Tech Lead job to convince those folks that the approach is correct.

- Everyone requires a different way to lead/manage. But in general, the more talented a person is, the more autonomy they would expect. To get the best out of them, assume good faith, and trust their autonomy.

Thanks for doing this. I have a green card and have been out of the country for a few years doing a PhD. I’ve been getting reentry permits during that time. Due to corona and having a baby I haven’t been able to return to the US to apply for a new reentry permit and it’s now expired.

How should I handle that, especially when crossing the border? Have they relaxed the rules due to corona?
But even saying “the Kazak name ‘Almaty’” is still not correct because it gives the impression that the final sound is like an English -y, like happy. For those who know Cyrillic it is still inaccurate because the Cyrillic -y sounds like an English -oo. The only way to really show “the Kazak name” is to use Cyrillic, or their LtR script: Алматы, or الماتى. That final sound is more like an English -uh.
That's weird. I just read about a study in a Japanese newspaper today stating that Ivermectin works great.

Then later I've added Android App support (GPS Logger) and recently I've added support for hardware GPS watch that I've purchased on AliExpress.

I've also once wrote a tool that downloaded files from shared hosting sites. It was long ago when RapidShare was main site of this type. It was working with all the sites that was available back then and it was waiting before download the file. It was before captcha was invented.

The code is in Ruby and on GitHub I think this was one of my first project there https://github.com/jcubic/Downloader
If we do not take advantage of the more capable students because of equity, what will the future be without people who can do the sorts of things that require highly capable individuals?

Actually, it's 7 bytes (you can remove `\0` at the end), and that's if you insist on being able to exceed 4GB with your strings.

Personally, depending on the use case, I'd be willing to have strings limited to 256 bytes (no overhead), 64K bytes (1 byte of overhead), and 4G bytes (3 bytes of overhead). Though combining them all might be quite the nightmare…
Shenzen has elements which are probably not reproducible.

But 1) subsidies are what we would call a 'distortion' and those should be dealt with, possibly with anti-dumping tariffs;

2) There is such a thing as 'strategic investment' in key industries where the bar is very high and $10M from a VC won't help. This is where we need coordinated leadership.

3) There are other ways of 'building stuff'. Automation, AI etc. present opportunities for creating substitutes for those value chains.

In particular, I think what the DARPA should push for is a robotic 'pair of hands' - i.e. a very easily programable set of very nimble robotic hands with accompanying vision, that can be made to do specific tasks within parameters i.e. 'pick up that part, add this other part' and handle most of the weird things that can go wrong.

4) In germs of geopolitics ... it may be more ideal to push for more diversity in sourcing and to help develop India, Malaysia, Mexico etc. towards doing at least more of those things. That's hard though.

>DyslexicAtheist

You described Croatia as a Pablo Escobar's Columbia where crime and corruption reigns and dominates everyday life but that's not the case. Yes corruption is high but that's the problem of Communist legacy. Many of the same state workers and politicians who worked in Yugoslavia are working for the state right now or their children are.

Lustration of Communist elite and state workers including judges didn't happen like in other East European countries.

Croatia in 2019 was visited by 20 million tourists and one of the reasons except "nature and beauty" is low crime and feeling of being safe. There are no street gangs and violent street crime over here.

>There is a saying in Croatia "Where were you in '92" that is reserved for the older population.

Btw it's 91 that's the year when the War started you probably confused it with Bosnia where the War started in 1992.
School's so stupid. If you give people a grade and tell them to maximize it, with no meaningful rewards that they can understand, they're going to cheat. Duh. I regret not cheating in school, what a waste of time all of that shit was.

The teacher is basically like "haha dumb kids, we know you're cheating" and "if only we could punish students more!". There's a lot of "the smart kids are suffering because of the dumb kids" attitude here that I find disgusting.

> That too was in keeping with a theme. The teacher email I mentioned above was from one of the conference threads, but the emails sent to me personally from counselors and administrators have overwhelmingly broken down along these lines: such-and-such a student is feeling stressed, so please excuse her from this set of assignments. This other student gets nervous about taking tests or giving presentations or working in groups, so please excuse him from work of those types.

Oh god, how awful that these students won't get to suffer through some idiot's assignment that I'm sure would greatly better their life.

There's a lot wrong with school but I feel like this teacher doesn't realize that they're a part of that.

> Wow, a 100% pass rate! What a successful school!

Yes, it's cheating. They have an incentive, as your students do, to 'pass', and so they cheat.

Give students a place to be during the day while their parents work. Give them real, meaningful incentives that matter to young people - money, freedom, social structure, a feeling of productivity - and align those with learning real, practical skills, like how to read, write, analyze context, etc.

Hire non-idiots, pay them more, reduce class sizes. Yeah it'll cost more, but the obvious economic benefits will offset that. I can count on one hand how many teachers I had that I respected - the rest were obvious failures.
Hey I think you have a healthy perspective about this all.

I think that doing it yourself (or participating at some capacity) is so much better than letting a third party you don't even know take custody of your kids for some months. The possibility for abuse is staggering.

But perhaps just joining boy scouts is cool?
It’s pretty significant but a strong mitigating factor is that you have to join the network manually before this happens.
