Hey, good to see you and liblinux again.

I'll just add that yes, things are actually way simple from ELF point of view. If you generate an ELF file by hand (or from a compiler you write), you can simply point it to the first instruction and the argv, argc, and environment pointers arrive as described above.

Virgil startup code is ~15 assembly instructions (even less for test binaries), and then it calls into the Virgil runtime source to get the heap setup and start allocating the first objects (array of strings for arguments).

I love low level posts like these. It's important we don't forget that C is just one alternative.
I started looking through the comments here and... NOPE, I do not need this information in my life right now.
Are they distributing/selling the code? If the answer is no (and it pretty much always is) then there's no implications. Nothing in the GPL says you can't have a web front end to gather info that's then processed by your modified GPL code (which never leaves your possession) and the results spat back out to that web front-end.
I would imagine the answer will be yes. I would suspect that GM and Honda will also have electric crate motors on the way.

That's an example of a suboptimal program but it's not a memory leak. This memory would get freed eventually.

Otherwise a very nice article. With both Haskell and valgrind being a bit "scary" this is something I'll be coming back to read again.

The sky is the limit when it comes to car restoration prices, but if you started with a reasonably straight body and frame without a ton of rust it would likely in the ballpark of 10-15k for the restore and another 25-35k for the EV conversion on the low end to get 100-150ish miles range. You could spend any amount of top of that for a better restore, modern suspension and brakes, or more range.

Old trucks will be among the cheapest to convert since there is tons of space for battery boxes under the hood, between the frame rails, or just in the bed without much cutting or welding. Downside is old truck prices have really jumped in the last few years and are no longer the classic bargains they once were.

There are conversion kits for a number of vehicles already available and I'm sure tons more are coming.

* EV West has an air cooled VW kit for $8000 (plus battery)

* Swindon Powertrains has a Mini kit for £10,000 (plus battery)

* 2ECV has a Citron 2CV kit for £16,000 (inc battery)

* Zero EV is working on a Porsche 911 kit for SCs, G body and 964 that includes DC Fast charging, but I haven't seen pricing yet.
Similar! We used to watch tv at lunch, but almost never now.

We do however one thing. She is allowed to get off the table when she wants, but if she does we take away her plate because she is done. We are a bit "elastic" on this because sometimes she gets down to grab something and goes back, or her brother is really distracting. However if she goes to the tv the plate is gone immediately (there is an informatory call before she reaches the tv "i see you are done with the food. Are you full?").

That has been working well. When she actually gets up she is done with food.

It is also a great signal to figure out when she is constipated. She would almost skip 1 or 2 meals, then eat a lot once she is done.
"We trust browsers with passwords to everything in our lives, like our bank details."

No we don't. I use C&P from my PW Manager (Enpass).

For your Bank you should have your own Browser (I use a vanilla Chrome). Firefox with a ton of privacy plug-ins. And Chromium for Facebook. I use other browsers too.
Since I am job-seeking myself currently, I have looked at a few offers during last weeks.

I'm not sure if you just didn't add it to the text, but is there no title for the job offer? Something like "React dev (m/w/d), mostly Frontend, Fullstack appreciated" (along these lines, can be done better surely).

Also while some parts look like good offers to some people, they may be intimidating to others. For example "take share of leader's responsibilities" - not everyone may like to do that. Now it can be that you don't want people who shy away from this, but if you don't care and it's entirely optional, then say it is optional.

Same for backend. I have seen a lot of offers that sound like pure Frontend, but during first interview it becomes obvious that it's actually full stack. So be clear if it's a fullstack position with focus on frontend, or a frontend position, preferably in the title already.

My 2cents:) Good luck with your applicants!
This isn't responsive to the previous comment. Either the messenger meets or exceeds the privacy and security of Signal or it doesn't. If it doesn't, that's material regardless of what you believe about the aesthetics of Signal or their communitarian spirit. Most people who use secure messengers are LARPing (often in a good-willed performative way, as a way of supporting the privacy of others who truly need it).

But some people aren't LARPing, truly need privacy, and compromising their safety to make a point about federation is immoral.
legitimate (non-speculative) demand is more than enough to fuel construction. People will still need to live somewhere, and therefore will pay for it. They just won't need to pay stupidly high prices because half the offer is hoarded by large companies to artificially inflate the price.
Can you drive from home to work without being hand held by technological pacifiers?
I'd call

return str == "abd" || str == "acd"

_way_ more elegant and simple, to be honest. Because the actual code would look like

return match("a(b|c)d", str)
I'm guessing the ICE equivalent is swapping out a petrol engine for a biogas or LPG compatible engine. That is, not just the engine but all related plumbing as well.
Imagine being a first responder and going on a call to save someone from a DIY electric vehicle. EVs present an entirely different set of safety considerations, but at least the major brands have thought through these things and provide safety features, documentation, and training. I doubt the truck in the link has a guide like this: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/2021_Mod...
End-to-End Testing a MonoRepo
The more studies pile up, the less it seems to matter the length of a given fast, but more the total time spent in a fasting state relative to a fed state.

So as a taster, you can do multiple 24-hour fasts and get the same experience from a health point of view (everything else is different, though).

That said, at some point, I’m interested in trying a multiple-day fast myself but haven’t taken the plunge yet.
The main draw for me is the smaller size of this car. I'm not sure why car companies have slowly inflated the size of all vehicles to be extremely large.
It's odd, because in today's review, they have this to say:

> I have to say a side word about AVX-512 support, because we found it. If you’re prepared to disable the E-cores, and use specific motherboards, it works. After Intel spent time saying it was fused off, we dug into the story and found it still works for those that need it. It’s going to be interesting to hear how this feature will be discussed by Intel in future.

There's a whole page on it:

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything because I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell, Matrix clients use a Rest API. It's not like they are resolving state deltas locally or something. It seems like the big complexity right now is the encryption, since that, by definition, has to happen on the client. There's a concerted effort, however, to make that as easy as possible with shared libraries and such.

I'm coming around to this way of thinking. My personal anecdote: I had my first child in June premature and it has been... difficult. There's no amount of energy that can get you through caring for a newborn. During the most difficult phase I read that exercise can counteract the effects of sleep deprivation. So I started running, then I went back to the gym, and now I go nearly every day. I don't think the exercise itself has given me that much more energy. Rather, it's a change in mindset.

I found it easier to get up early and go to the gym when I realized I'm going to feel like shit in the morning no matter what, so I might as well just get up and go. When I was childless and care-free I would skip if I had one too many beers the night before, a tiring weekend, or just didn't feel "100%". This change in lifestyle made me realize there never was a "100%". Now maybe the exercise gives me a small boost in energy, but most importantly I'm conditioning myself to push myself towards my goals regardless of how much energy I think I have.
I feel this also represents my situation quite well. Here's personal experience:

What worked the best for me to deal with a full-time job and a side project of gamedev (or programming in general) was to move the side project development time in the morning before my full time job, and just put a bit less effort into work overall (remote work helped here as well). Moreover, while I tried to have a consistent routine for my personal dev time, I tried not to force it when I was really not feeling like it, to avoid burnout.

I sometimes did additional gamedev in some evening (or moved the morning one), but otherwise, tried to do non-computer stuff in the afternoons/evenings.

Another key insight, is that this also helped me getting an earlier sleeping schedule. Previously I would procrastinate until late, even if tired, because whenever I went to sleep, I would then wake up and have go to work immediately. Instead, now I rather go to sleep early, because I know I'll have more energy to do the things I like in the morning, rather than full-time work.
Yeah, IIRC that was mostly in '73 with the Arab oil embargo.
Isn’t the electric F-150 already comparable in price to regular F-150s (around $40k)? So these prospective F-150 buyers shouldn’t be waiting for a price drop right?
There is over 500 applications at google using Angular so it isn't a handful of special cases.
If you can lose your password, and then hit "Forgot password" and get access to your emails again...then they can run the same routines without your password.
When I see studies like this, I always wonder if you might get the exact same benefits and more by just going for a run. When I run for more than 90 minutes without taking in carbs, my body goes into a ketogenic state very similar to a multi-day fast. And exercise has additional benefits that simply fasting doesn't.

This is missing the point, I think. The point is not to be disconnected entirely, it’s to have control over that connection. While driving, one can turn off their phone, run a fully open-source device, old-school GPS, or whatever. But cars don’t give much if any control over the software they’re running or their broader connectivity. They’re oft becoming highly-integrated proprietary devices.
I like classic vehicles. But I don't like that they are gross polluters. I can definitely see a niche market for conversions.
Adam Curtis responded to this parody in an interview with The Quietus at the beginning of this year.

Q: Some critics of your work – for example, The Loving Trap parody – argue that what you do is very skilfully create elaborate narratives which make connections and draw parallels that are then presented as objective truth. Do you sometimes worry about being dismissed as part of the ‘conspiracy’ problem?

A: "That parody is very funny and clever, and it made me reflect on myself, which is good. But let’s be clear, I’ve never in any of my films put forward a conspiracy theory. Over the last 20 years, when the mainstream left and right in this country have essentially fused together, out of that has emerged a very strong consensus. In the face of that, the term ‘conspiracy theory’ has transformed itself into a shorthand to describe anyone who challenges that mainstream narrative. My job, which the BBC has tasked me to do, is to provoke people and ask them, “Have you thought about looking at the world this way?” To pull back a bit and look at what is happening in a different way. But that is not a conspiracy theory.

In the New Yorker he also touched upon it:

Boone directed readers instead to a short online spoof of Curtis’s films by Ben Woodhams called “The Loving Trap,” which describes his work as the “televisual equivalent of a drunken late-night Wikipedia binge.”
Curtis is conscious of what even his admirers call his “wild leaps.” “As a critique, I’m aware of that, but I’m also aware that that’s what all journalists do,” he said. “But since they’re actually just saying the same old thing, people don’t notice the leaps. . . . I’m making no more bigger leaps than most of my colleagues do, when they tell me that Al Qaeda is about to sail a boat down the Thames with an atomic bomb on it—and that would be accepted in 2005, or whenever it was.”

Bingo, and well said. Buying a Tesla and then ripping out all the bits that treat me as the driven rather than the driver, would basically leave me with a bare chassis and powertrain anyway, and that hardly seems sane.
Car hobbies never make financial sense but they're fun. These modular/open electric vehicle parts are a hacker's dream.
Well, it's a pick-up truck, it's kind of to be expected that they can carry a lot.

There's still plenty of options for compact cars, and if you want to go even smaller, motorcycles. That said, I don't believe there's many small electric cars. Electric motorcycles and bicycles are definitely a thing though.
You drive in complete silence? Or were you just singling out only specific forms of technology with which to mock a stranger?
A friend who works in climate modeling recently told me that the best models currently in use pretty much all agree about the next few years, but they seriously diverge after a couple of decades because that's when the emergent effects we're worried about are predicted to show up. I'd caution against projecting the "We were right!" stance to the general public, since it breeds skepticism when some of the models inevitably turn out to be inaccurate. I think this kind of underreporting-of-uncertainty was the source of a lot of public distrust during COVID. The right approach to modeling -- creating multiple models and combining them to get mean and uncertainty estimates -- is what the modelers are doing, but I think it's important to do more nuanced reporting on what makes a climate model "correct" or "useful."
I keep seeing recommendations for devs, but the more I read about it the more it comes across as one of those shows set in tech rather than actually about it. Is there a decent amount of building/tinkering in it?
Zuck has never shied away from his intentions to do business in China, he had even established himself as a Sinophile for that[1] and going as far as asking Xi to name his baby[2].

Problem with that is that a fuel tank is very small compared to the equivalent battery size.
I'm imagining the same thing, and I imagine we'll eventually have battery cell inter-operability standards for cars that make that even easier.

In the past we didn't make it mandatory to have engines be easily swapped to other models of vehicle, but I think we're more conscious of re-usability and the long term lifecycle of vehicles and part of making sure that's efficient I feel is making sure I can take a battery pack from a crashed 2025 E-Supra nd put it in my 2032 E-Skyline.
This is unnecessarily rude. Implying that a person needs a pacifier like an infant is snarky.

On the off-chance that you're asking because you're involved in the package manager, here are a few things I'd really like to see as a crusty graybeard / software carpenter / package maintainer. Maybe some/all of these are already true for Zig's package manager.

1. Don't assume that packages come from Github. Or from any specific URL, for that matter. Or that they're managed in Git. Make it controllable with a config file, and ship a default config file. Let a project-specific config file override a site-wide one.

2. Make sure packages can come from multiple sources.

3. Make it possible to use packages from the local filesystem. Support relative paths.

4. Don't try to do network access unless I specifically ask for a fetch/download/update/etc. I want to be able to extract a few source tarballs somewhere, and then run a build that doesn't require me to be online.

5. Have a good story for working with non-Zig libraries. Like if I want to make a FUSE filesystem or something, it probably depends on having libfuse and libfuse-dev installed from my distro package manager. Zig's package manager doesn't need to interact with apt-get or whatever, but it would be great if it knew how to find local headers and libraries.

6. Include a way for me to generate a source-tarball that bundles the sources for all of my program's dependencies, so that I can archive it and reproduce a build later even if the upstream sources go away.

7. Include a license tracking/reporting mechanism, so that I know the licenses of all software I've pulled in as a dependency (whether directly or indirectly). I don't want a situation where I have some dependency that has another dependency on another dependency, and 3 levels down there's something that's got a license I can't ship. The Yocto project did this in a very smart way, and it's a good model to copy.

8. Have a way to express build-time dependencies and run-time dependencies. Those aren't necessarily the same thing, and might not even target the same platform.
