As has been mentioned in other comments already, Linux has a stable ABI so you don't need a libc at all. In fact, Linux offers nolibc.h as a nice header to get just syscalls and extremely basic functions like memcpy and strlen. The most up to date source at the moment is https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linu... AFAIK (the linus master tree was missing some necessary fixes for x86_64 last I checked).

On Windows, it is somewhat laborious and involves some debatable trade-offs, but you can avoid msvcrt/ucrt altogether but you must link with kernel32 for syscalls. I have a very minimal nomsvcrt.h that just defines types and externs for those syscalls defined in kernel32, but it's really incomplete -- it's easy to write your own based on win32 docs anyway. One additional thing you'll need though are all the compiler bits that are now missing, mostly dealing with floating point conversions. https://hero.handmade.network/forums/code-discussion/t/94-gu... provides an excellent guide, but note the trade-offs made. I think the last thing you might want is a routine to turn GetCommandLineA()'s result into argc, *argv[], and if you can use LGPL, that's available in https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/blob/HEAD:/dlls/winec...

I don't have a macOS system right now, but I'm willing to bet there's a similar scheme possible there. That covers a lot of systems. OpenBSD is the only system I know of that really enforces system calls to go through their libc, but I'm ignorant.

Very interesting! I'm always amazed at kind of creative work I come across on here. Did not expect to read a success story about generating imagery for thermal printers this morning, but I'm glad I did.

Btw, what do you mean "without a driver". Do you bundle code that talks to thermal printers in you app? Is there a standardized communication protocol in this space or do you maintain a breadth of custom implementations?

> Just spit-balling: I think bars will kick people out once they've had too much to drink, sometimes from a legality standpoint, but also from a place of sympathy or even fear (this person will disrupt the environment).

There's heavy regulation, policing and liability here. Bars will cut people off and kick them out because if they let a person get tanked and they go hit someone with their car while drunk, that puts the business in jeopardy. Not only are there laws that make it a criminal offense, that's how a business loses its liquor license and gets held liable for potentially significant damages.

My state has negligent serving of alcohol laws, and it also holds businesses responsible for any injuries, damages or deaths a drunk driver causes.

It's probably an electric that has to warm up the battery before going anywhere in extreme cold, though 20 minutes seems short.

When I use a block heater, I let it run for a couple hours before needing the vehicle in the cold. I've got an outdoor outlet timer that I can use to start my truck's block heater around 2-3AM if I need it for something in the morning. It'll start at 0F without it, but it's exceedingly clear that it's not happy about the arrangement, so I preheat.

Whatever it is, I'm entirely unsurprised that some app or another, talking to some cloud service or another, talking to some car or another, fails silently when "impossible" things have happened. Nobody seems to consider that the cloud can fail. Even though it does, quite regularly, and reliably breaks all sorts of stuff every single time it does.

In Russian, the amount to which words were assimilated has also changed depending on which foreign language was in vogue at the time, and to what extent. In the past, pronunciations of English borrowed words became closer to Russian standards. But now that English is trendy for the past thirty years after the USSR collapse—all the way to using branding in English on signage and advertising—often English pronunciation is almost unchanged, as much as it's possible. Afaiu it was the same in the past with French borrowings and then German ones (or perhaps in the reverse order)—kinda similar to English flirtings with French and Latin, but thankfully without such a mess in spelling.

However, Цукерберг/Zuckerberg is quite natural for Russian due to being an obviously Jewish name. The first letter isn't even the voiced ‘z’ in Russian, but a ‘ts’, because that's how analogous Jewish names are pronounced here.

I'm well aware of it, but it's not the basis of posts to HN. Such religions - cults of personality - inevitably do a lot of harm to society and the followers. Musk, of course, will make out very well.

Zealousness never has paid off; its purpose is to override reason and good judgement. How can that turn out well? Why would Musk want to encourage that, unless there is something to hide?

As someone who considers them very much a music aficionado I disagree with your conclusion. According to Spotify's 2021 review, I listened ~55k minutes of music across ~3300 artists. It is impossible to think I would have found 75% of those artists had it not been for Spotify's discovery recommenders.

Release Radar was my most listened personalized playlist and it constantly introduced me to new artists in and around the genres of music I was listening to. I listen to a pretty diverse range of genres (everything from death metal, edm, hip-hop and country).

Perhaps I never grew up having to dig through piles of records, I was a child of the era of 100+ page books of CDs and the introduction of Napster but I still very much find discovery through these services to be hands down more efficient and cost effective for me. I could not afford to listen to the amount of music I consumed last year if I were purchasing records/CDs/tapes.

In the most prosperous cities there's an entire conversation around displacement because costs are too high for people to live where they group up. So no, not everyone can.

There's a government commission deciding how much of each type of housing can exist. What alternative do people have other than living in what has been allowed? We can look at price to reveal preferences and the price per interior square foot is highest close to jobs. That's a far stronger signal than a survey that doesn't even ask people to imagine the tradeoffs.

Batteries aren’t just about using the generated energy in a useful way, they are about making renewables more profitable by giving them a buyer for all the energy they can produce. Miners are money batteries in this way - they can be fired up on demand to soak up energy the grid doesn’t need, and instead of finding a buyer they can just directly convert excess energy into income.

You're still not seeing the contradiction between making truth claims and having beliefs and the skeptical position you're entertaining. By your own standards, I could ask how you know there's something called a brain, that it has something to do with perception, etc. Maybe you hallucinated the brain? Maybe it's just some weird belief you have? Maybe hallucinations aren't a thing? How do you know what other brains do or don't do differently? And why can't some of them be wrong?

Attaching doubt to things "just because" isn't rational and cannot be resolved rationally precisely because such doubts are not rationally motivated. If I say to you "I doubt that you are here", for no reason other than some arbitrary skepticism about my perceptual faculties, then there is no way that that doubt can rationally be resolved. The very idea of hallucination presumes a normative perception. That we can know that we can misperceive or be subject to illusions itself presumes that we can tell the difference. Otherwise, we are just positing idle and detached possibilities while tacitly, and paradoxically, drawing on various convictions about the real.

The Bitcoin blockchain is still working exactly as intended, the blocks keep running and nobody has been able to change the supply. You can still use it to run decentralized, permission-less transfers of value across the internet. It's the world's digital asset you can transfer anywhere without 3rd party. It solves censorship and inflation, and works just fine. This article is full of strawman arguments against bitcoin activists and I'd love this site to be much more neutral on the topic in the future.
Sure.

I once wrote a paper for epistemology class (https://github.com/MatrixManAtYrService/Righting/blob/master...). In it I argue that there is a category of propositions that are knowably unknowable. These are things that we know that we will never be able to know. One example of such a proposition is:

> We're living in a simulation that's too complete for us to escape

You can believe it, or you can disbelieve it, and neither stance is more rational than the other. Beliefs in such a space can't be motivated by evidence, so they have to be motivated by something else--like whether they cause you to live the kind of life that you want to be living, or maybe you just think it's fun. My beliefs re: panpsychism are like this. I don't anticipate ever being able to prove them, nor do I expect to run into evidence that disproves them. They go something like this:

I like to imagine that there is more than one temporal dimension. When we humans have cause to believe that a certain part of the universe has a mind, it's because that part of the universe is doing something that creates an arrow of time that is parallel to our own. Its future is also our future. This lets us communicate with it (maybe).

By contrast, when we encounter a rock or a lightning bolt or something that you'd generally call dead. Well, whatever machinations that part of the universe is having towards supporting its experience--they create an arrow of time that is orthogonal to ours, so we can't communicate with them. It's not so much that each rock is alive, or each lightning bolt, but that the whole universe is alive. The part of the universe that I get go call myself has come up with names for the other parts, but those names are just part of the story that I tell myself. Other perspectives might group things into entities worth naming in other ways. Maybe what I call "my" behavior is functioning like a neuron in something... else.

I like to mess with people who are having arguments about abortion: I believe that life begins not at conception, not at birth, but at the big bang. There are very few ways that this belief affects my life, but it does occasionally motivate me to meditate. If I can get my own thoughts to settle down for a while I feel like I can tap into a bigger awareness. It's not having any thoughts that I can decipher, but it feels nice anyhow.

From what I understand, it's a play around the Amazon Inventory Storage fees ([1], [2]), which normally are $0.75 per cubic foot monthly, but grow to $6.90 per cubic foot, if stored for more than a year and not sold.

It's possible to ask Amazon to remove selected items from their warehouse and send to any US address for a somewhat reasonable fee of around $0.32/item ([3]).

What happens here is the Chinese sellers send packages to the residents of the house, and then relist items under a different account, so that the counter is reset and the Amazon storage fees are low again.

That said, the residents of the house run a subpar operation.

I don't think that's what the GP meant. I think they meant your perception of reality can take more than one form. Often people fall into the trap of thinking their current perception of reality must be The One, but clearly what many people believe is very much not reality. It's just their current feeling about what their senses are telling them. In fact, in many cases, said perception is created from very little data. The older I get the more I see this in operation.

Changing perspective, which can be instantaneous, is just shifting your view of reality.
