I think that implementing a proper state machine for the header parsing with ragel would give a more comprehensive result than using gperf or even the handmade one from your code.

I think there are already some versions of the ragel code online, but they might be for other target programming languages.
I wish the plastic packaging of the toilet paper was even better suited as a liner for the bathroom bin. It's just good enough as it is, but the producers don't even seem to be aware of this fantastic secondary function.
Generation Y Marketing – What Marketing Category Should You Identify With?
Consumer purchasing habits from 2020 could continue to linger in 2021. A new report from eMarketer projects that retail e-commerce sales in the U.S. will increase by 13.7% to $908.73 billion lower than last year's 18% to $709.78 billion surge, but still exceeds pre-pandemic estimates of 12.8% for 2017. Globally, consumer purchasing habits will remain stable at 4.3% growth from 2017. "Retailers must be prepared to take advantage of the new realities," the report states. "This growing consumer market can be segmented into multiple segments with dynamic spending patterns. This level of personalization and market segmentation will make it possible to reach consumers across multiple channels and across different periods of the year."

Retailers can be segmented into multiple segments with dynamic spending patterns. Consumer behavior (sales volume, average spending per order, number of purchases, spendthrifts, etc.) will remain stable, and retail e-commerce sales can be broken into multiple segments (seasonal vs. year-round purchases, for example). For example, during the holiday season consumers spend more money on gifts for friends/family than on retail products. Sales volumes are anticipated to rise between 10% and 12% for 2021, while consumers are expected to spend $1,800 on gifts for family members compared to $1,300 on retail products.

Also, shoppers on a budget are expected to spend more on gifts than on retail products this holiday season. And shoppers who are more risk averse are expected to spend more on gift cards, travel, jewelry and other luxury gifts in 2021 than on retail products.

The global consumer spend is expected to rise between 7% and 8% in 2022, then rise more sharply in the early years of the decade (2020 and beyond). This group of shoppers is also known as Millennials or Internet Millennials. They were born in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and are the generation most likely to use mobile devices to shop. Millennials are also expected to spend more than any other consumer generation during the "rebound" years following the recession, in 2021 and beyond. Millennials will purchase more electronics than any other generation in the next decade. This group of shoppers is also called Gen-Y or Generation Yoc. These shoppers were born between 1980 and 1994, and are often referred to as "millennials" by marketers. They are often called "Yoc" in the business by marketers who are expecting to see more spending from this group during the next decade. It is important to note that while the definition of Gen-Y may be changing, marketers are still targeting this consumer group.

No, you don't get it. Prices are set by the supply and demand, which means the fact that something is scarce doesn't mean absolutely anything in terms of what its price will be in the future. Second, the fact that some asset price has increased doesn't mean wealth has been created. For example, if your house increases in value, this only means that your personal wealth has increased. In fact you personal wealth has increased at the expense of the people who are buying houses at over-inflated prices, while the stock of wealth in the economy remains unchanged. The only way to create wealth is to produce stuff, and bitcoin produces nothing.

This seems to be a great example of humans inability to calculate risk. Do we blame automakers for selling cars to people without having them pass a driver's test or do we just accept that people who have a driver's license passed a driver's test at some point and are therefore qualified to drive a car. Maybe what we need to do is include auto driving in our standard drivers test in order to absolve Tesla of responsibility for the misuse or inattentive use of their auto drive technology. I'm confident that over time days will show that the risk of automatic driving will eventually be an infinitesimal fraction of the risk of human driving.
Human thinking includes building new models/filters for understanding the world, not just applying old ones. And that isn't used for learning, we do it all the time when solving any kind of challenging problem or even for simple problems like trying to recognize a face. Computer models might never compete with human performance unless they can learn how to solve a problem as it is solving it, because that is what humans do.

You don't think it's funny that he escaped legal liability because the court came to the conclusion that what he wrote was so mis-representative that it couldn't be considered an actual breach? I personally thinks that both funny, and indicative that the judge is being balanced, rather than disproportionate.

As for Jonathon Cook - the double standard he claims doesn't exist in the judgement.
That article seems a bit silly to me. Of course the way to do more things is to do more things. That doesn’t mean “how?” isn’t a reasonable question. For example, it could be helpful to read tips for inventorying how exactly I spend my time, to help me identify areas where I’m spending more time than I had realized.

This article reads like “reading about how to get better at weightlifting won’t help you, because the only way to lift a heavy weight is to literally lift a heavy weight.”
Probably not. Most likely you will just end up spending all of your time telling people how much you hate our home, or complaining about it on hacker news.
The bags were torn. They couldn't even give the stuff away, and not for lack of trying.
> No individual can raise prices without losing competitiveness, but clearly higher prices would fix some of these serious issues. A higher minimum wage would prevent the “they’ll just go next door” issue.

That seems right on the face of it. But then there's another issue: are you sure that the same number of people would continue eating out? Personally, I wouldn't bet on it.

I don't often eat out, mostly because it's not something I particularly enjoy, but also because I find it expensive for what it is. If the prices were to rise, I would eat out even less. I doubt I'm the only one thinking like this.

It's not clear to me that raising the minimum wage, and therefore the price of a restaurant meal, would not have less people go out. And by less people I mean a drop high enough such that the sum of money spent eating out would drop. Which would mean there would be less restaurants which could afford to stay in business.
As someone who at one time wrote a parser for the error output of gcc, clang AND cl, I can only upvote this tenfold. It was a minor nightmare with a ton of special cases, and the final result was a heuristic rather than a formally sound method. Even determining which lines of the output belonged to the same error message was a challenge. Suffice to say that no fun was had.

What?

I was responding to someone who said "lead poisoning also has symptoms such as depression and fatigue, which could marginally sway people towards inaction."

What I just quoted is an argument against lead being implicated in an increase in crime. I was just pointing out why lead might be implicated in crime after all, despite the above quoted argument against it.

So what exactly am I doing wrong here?
But they do. In Scotland (and the rest of the UK) judges can bar publication of a wide range of material about a court case, in advance or retrospectively, and enforce it by order. That order has penal consequences if broken.

If you don't think the order is within the legal bounds of the power, you can appeal it. (News organisations do this semi-regularly). What you shouldn't do is breach it and hope to get off at the contempt hearing.

Firefox has also been shooting its own feet. Their insistence on automatic updates, especially ones that require a "restart" is infuriating. Especially when the restart fails and loses all your tabs. They are also destroyed tons of useful plugins several years ago. They starting defaulting the home page to Pocket. I'd rather use firefox, but they don't seem to want me as a user.
Same story but more diversity in casting
You may be right.

But then, the question becomes: what will become of these employees? Less eating out means less restaurant staff. But said staff are people who need to eat. Will they all go on social security?

Maybe, maybe not. But it's a question we should ask, as a society.

Semicolons definitely help. As for the 80 char limit, you can always use wider punch cards.
It was news to me, but XDR _also_ uses DSC.

I want high refresh rates, which help even for operations work, web browsing, not just photography and eye fatigue. And I want HDR.

Frankly, the only reason I'd consider the XDR is as mentioned, aesthetics - I've got the 2019 Mac Pro, and I recently bought a house and set my desk at home up in the middle of my office, not against a wall, so entirely superficially, the aesthetics of the back of the XDR display could look nice.

The only thing the XDR has going for it is color accuracy (which is orthogonal, though certainly impacted, I'm sure, to lossy compression), and resolution (though I still like my two ultra thin bezel 4K screens versus one 6K screen). The refresh rate on the XDR is 60Hz.

Oh, and the XDR is not bugged/broken/crippled by Apple so as not to be able to run at full capability.
That’s possible. I never specifically went looking for it and could easily mistake something that small for bits of shell etc.
On Windows, you can open Character Map, find the character you want, click, copy, and paste.

For characters you enter frequently, if your keyboard has a numeric pad, then you can use the Alt key and a numeric code as described here:

Unfortunately that doesn't work with the number row, only the numeric keypad.

On any OS, you can find several similar character tables online:

Online publication is deemed 'continuous' as long as the material is up. 'It's an old article' isn't a defence if you're on notice that it needs to be taken down.

Incidentally, the robots.txt file for one of Britain's less reputable papers (IIRC The Sun) used to have a specific list of story URLs not to crawl which I suspect were those they'd been ordered to take down after libel actions etc.
The estimates I've seen vary from 4-8 so it's not a sure thing if we do/don't have herd immunity.

I keep saying we should be masking and standing apart now so that hopefully we can nudge r0 down a bit and avoid lockdowns, but everyone's so relieved to be done that i may as well be pissing against the wind.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted, but this method is the only thing I've been able to stick with for more than a few days.

I have so many things I both have to do and want to do that keeping a written list of them is pointless and demotivating. Only time-sensitive things get written down, and that's just so I don't forget them before it's too late.

The beauty of this is that it doesn't need an app, just a notebook or text editor.

Unfortunately yes. They see too many requests from paperdelivery.co and block requests originating from that domain - they only want the google bot to crawl their site :) I think I have two options:

1. Respect their decision to not allow PaperDelivery to fetch that page.

2. Use a set of proxies and headless browsers or outright impersonate the Google bot to trick the news websites into allowing PaperDelivery to fetch that page.

Potentially not secure and definitely not private, for most of them.
Amusingly, there's a backward compatibility issue where the first name on a Let's Encrypt certificate can only be, at most, 63 characters long (because it gets represented in the CN field, which is limited this way). All of the other names get represented only in SAN extensions, which don't have the same limit.

So, if you need a Let's Encrypt certificate for a name over 63 characters in length, you have to also put another name on that certificate that is shorter, so Let's Encrypt has something to put in the CN field.
Out of curiosity, what do you use to make those diagrams?

>nobody it’s going to change browser if your site is broken. Users will just assume your site is broken. And to be fair, it’s the same thing on desktop browsers.

Sorry but, history says otherwise:

1) Netscape users came across "works best in IE" banners and IE usage skyrocketed.

2) IE users came across "works best in Firefox/Chrome" notices and IE usage plummeted in favour of those better browsers.

Chrome didn't get to where it is solely based on marketing - it had some very strong advantages in the early years.

>you would probably be stuck with supporting Safari anyway.

I don't disagree there. But increased competition would force Apple to up their game. A win for everyone.
> I run "npm install" and the package-lock.json ends up changing

This is intended behaviour, but seems totally counterintuitive to me. I’m with you, I’m used to Composer and NPM just seems inscrutable at times.

For reference, the approximate equivalent to `composer install` is `npm ci`. This will install the exact versions from package.lock without changing it, however it will also blow away your node_modules directory and install from scratch each time.

Why is it 253 and not 255 characters ? It's killing my OCD.
Isn't it the other way? Hardware has changed as massive inventions have augmented our living standards. While at the same time, the software (IE human mentality) hasn't over 1000s of years, except for maybe hard disk usage (which is human knowledge).
Another possibility is that people just don't like such reductive explanations of human behavior. It's easier to say, well, violent youth is a product of society somehow and it's too hard to come up with a concrete explanation.
Reminds me of the data structures in this markdown library https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/master/docs/...

The author hand waves away the possibility that there could be memory locality performance benefits by using arrays in JS but my hunch is that there is something in that. I know the react code base for example went for a monomorphic Object structure to represent components to leverage inline caching of hidden classes.
The problem is that "how?" doesnt have any convincing answer. People who are GTDoners are not more motivated by the things they do than other people. The only difference is they do the work and spend the less time as possible thinking how to work more, how to be faster, ...
They never promised that the output would be error free, having output with errors is still useful for many applications. And the issues you are talking about got fixed as soon as it was discovered and since then Google has made sure to always diversify their datasets by race. Nowadays that is common knowledge that you need to do it, but back then it wasn't obvious that a model wouldn't generalize across human races and it is much thanks to that mistake that everyone now knows it is an issue.
It's fascinating to me that it lasted THAT long. I may have seen a few of the first (like Daredevil decades ago?) and I saw the "last" one, something about a giant who wanted to destroyed the universe, failed but somewhat succeeded and a bunch of weirdos had to go back in time ?

I mean I don't get it, it can't be for children anymore since the entire thing started when I was a kid already and now I have kids. I'm not american and what we say here is that americans are so dumb they just rewatch the same "cape dude in underwear" over and over again, with the same story with small variations :s It must be a sort of puritan/christian gay complex or something.

The C-influenced nomenclature is not needed here. By the nature of what you're referring to, it is not a library. "In the standard" will do.
Assuming we are talking about the same thing, it's absolutely not the same as containers. It'd be the same as Chrome profiles, or Firefox profiles for that matter. Containers allow you to have separate sandboxes within the same instance of the browser.
In what way is it a falsehood? There is an entire class of addons that are simply impossible to create under the new paradigm. These used to work, now that don't. Firefox broke them intentionally.
