We used to use ARM proprietary C compilers at my last job doing firmware. Every time a compiler bug was fixed in one version to the next a new one was introduced. So we ended up sticking with a particular version that worked well and keep evaluating new ones till a better one is found. And we paid tons of money for the compilers and support contract back then. Maybe the situation is better these days.
I honestly have no idea, which is why I just characterized it as "mighty hinky". To get that shot for real, the plane would have had to somehow catch up with his free-fall descent and circle around to end up underneath him. For an unmanned aircraft to carry out that maneuver seems extremely improbable to me. Even with a pilot at the controls it would have been challenging to pull off. Catching up with a skydiver in freefall is not easy.
As long as the code is truly position-independent, I.E. compiled with -fPIC in GCC/LLVM, then there will be no problem.
Crystal also looks nice.

Which one is more advanced
As a pilot, this is what it looks like. Altitude is gold in an engine out situation, survival is all about trading altitude for time/airspeed. It makes absolutely no sense to spend time in freefall, its akin to putting an engine out plane into a dive on purpose before pulling into a glide.
Haven’t tried multiplayer yet but there are definitely bots on the solo play leaderboard. The fastest time for getting 40 lines in blitz mode is 15 seconds. It’s not humanly possible.
It doesn't feel that much different to me. It's bloated with trackware and adware and overclever operability-breaking cruft just like any other site now.

Depends on what the formatter does when the code is syntactically invalid in the first place. It could just error out, but that might be annoying if the error is in an unrelated part of the file.

So a formatter might opt to format on a best-effort basis even in the presence of syntax problems, but then there's the risk of creating different semantics than intended (once the syntax problem is fixed).
The article says 2 out 15 improved in the control group.
he was in freefall for 20ish seconds while the plane was seemingly flying away from him straight and level at ~70 mph losing altitude at a moderate pace. So at the time he popped his chute he was several thousand feet below a plane that was last seen flying away from him. A parachute has a higher sink rate than that plane as well.

Somehow the plane then ends up losing altitude VERY quickly before leveling off again, and by chance circling back directly underneath the pilot in the process. It could theoretically happen, but also seems ridiculous when you put it in context.
Most of those plants were built in the 70s and 80s and would need to be re-qualified soon probably with lots of pricey upgrades and/or rebuilds. Besides the fear over nuclear waste (not well founded IMHO), there are huge capital costs to also consider that are much more concrete concerns that make even the non environmentalists blink. So in this decision, it’s easy to get the left and right together.
I've never had a problem with this when moving code around. Cut/paste, indent entire block to match initial level, done. Where is the potential for errors? There really is none, because the brainbox keeps track of what I just pasted and tab/shift-tab moves that block as a unit. I find moving stuff around in braced languages a wee bit more work, actually, because you have to move the braces manually instead of shifting the block in and out, which is quicker.

Personally I've been way more annoyed when I've typed something up in the REPL and can't paste that over directly because of the >>> and ... but that's really a small tooling issue; a smarter editor would remove the REPL marks when pasting. Same for other REPL languages, most of them have PSn...

The problem with this "web 3.0" proposal is that the tech is web 2.0. RSS, diaspora, pump.io and friendica have all been around for ages.

The real problem is a lack of incentives for those in power (generally those with large marketing departments) to adopt or support them. We see this every time a major service slowly kills off their API. Data portability and interoperability are nice for gaining adoption, but the first thing you kill when it outlives its usefulness to the centralized entity.

And the average user doesn't care about this, and probably also doesn't want to do the research to understand decentralized federation. People already unlearned that gmail is distrinct from email, and here we ask them to yet again anchor their trust in even smaller entities than your average email provider to curate their social feed and keep their instance up.

It is a much better vision of the future of the internet than web3 - even through web3 sells the blockchain as the magic silver bullet to these issues. But it will fail for the same reason.

The FORTH-83 standard adopted floored division.

Lots of other languages got it wrong:

Symmetric division is the kind of thing that causes rockets ships to explode unexpectedly.

Symmetric division considered harmful:

https://www.nimblemachines.com/symmetric-division-considered...

>Since its 1983 standard (Forth-83), Forth has implemented floored division as standard. Interestingly, almost all processor architectures natively implement symmetric division.

>What is the difference between the two types? In floored division, the quotient is truncated toward minus infinity (remember, this is integer division we’re talking about). In symmetric division, the quotient is truncated toward zero, which means that depending on the sign of the dividend, the quotient can be truncated in different directions. This is the source of its evil.

>I’ve thought about this a lot and have come to the conclusion that symmetric division should be considered harmful.

>There are two reasons that I think this: symmetric division yields results different from arithmetic right shifts (which floor), and both the quotient and remainder have singularities around zero.

Better make sure your front company can't be traced back to yourself and those fake customers can't be traced back to you otherwise you've just committed wirefraud.

Very likely, if this $100 fine came into play, the first change telcoms would implement is verifying every single line in and out to make sure this exact situation can't happen. Will be cool to need a passport and birth certificate to get a new phone number.
I think he was referring to areas of contiguous memory (arrays) where the size of the area is separated from the pointer to that area. Nearly any operation on the array will require both pieces of information, and tons of C bugs come from making assumptions about the length of an array that aren't true.

So, better just to carry the length along with the pointer (Rust calls these "fat" pointers) and use that as the source of truth about the array length (for dynamically sized arrays, such as those created by malloc).
But why? Your argument boils down to "I don't admit defeat to people I don't like". Strikes me as incredibly dishonest

It's frustrating because I think it prevents some really interesting and important conversations, especially on difficult topics.
the 2 big improvements are that precompile happens at package install time and in parallel. also the compiler has generally become significantly better optimized is there's still more work to do, but the difference compared to 1.5 is often around 3x
We’re talking about learning basic stuff, not top tier postgrad stuff. The article is about the majority of American adults being unable to read prose at a sixth grade level - that is, years before SF suggests teaching algebra.

That is absolutely a massively distributed pedagogical failure of outstanding degree. Unless the average adult is so mentally disabled that acceptable-or-above teaching should result in this outcome.
Yes. It is not a problem to be non-white or non-straight. However, if that describes you, then you might have problems with society - people mistreating you.

> the issue is the actions, behaviors, attitude, and likely politics of the person that ends up being the problem, not their immutable characteristics.

Are you saying that non-white or non-straight people who have negative experiences are acting/behaving/believing in a problematic way? If so, then no - they should not have to act like straight white people to be respected by society.

Also you can believe whatever you want but that's also incorrect - some people act disrespectfully towards people strictly based on their immutable characteristics, knowing nothing about how the victims act/behave/etc.

Sparkle 2.0: Secure and reliable software update framework for macOS
All else being equal yes. But all else is far from equal here. The plane is on a slope in the brush. There is a clear flat riverbed nearby. When those are your choices, you definitely want to pick the riverbed because that's where water the the path to civilization are.

And indeed he did eventually get himself to the riverbed. If he'd just landed there in the first place he would have shaved many hours off the hike and avoided nearly falling off a cliff.

Sorry to bug you about it, but all three apostrophes in your post are wrong. "Sounds", "fits", and "its" would be correct.
I've done stuff like this before; it works very well if you know the limitations, and I'd say that it even gives you a better understanding of how things actually work. Of course, don't bother MS or any other "official" vendor if it doesn't work, because you are on your own in debugging it.

An amusing memory from grade school is that we stopped using remainders before we started using negative numbers. So if you were to ask me how a remainder operator should behave on negative numbers, I'd be at a loss. I don't think it was ever defined in any of my math classes, through grad school.
The English language is very difficult to read and write because its sounds have only a vaguely poetic relationship to their various representations on paper. For historical reasons it's a language that not only borrowed 95% of its words, it will borrow another at the drop of a hat, and in its American form will insist that the proper way to both pronounce and spell that word is the way it was pronounced and spelled in the language it was borrowed from (if they use a Roman alphabet.)

All the talk in this thread casting the blame on "standards" being lowered is bizarre. I'm not sure how pushing more poor kids to drop out is going to make people more literate.

edit: the real shame comparatively should be how high Chinese literacy is when faced with an equally difficult writing system. China isn't at all confused about whether public education is a good thing, though, so you'd expect superior outcomes there.
I have used a few of these for testing at work (I'm a developer). They're pretty solid devices, well built, audio quality is _subjectively_ pretty good and they have headset ports.
Most USAAF WWII training manuals all tell pilots to bail out in preference to trying to glide to a landing at night or over rough terrain, because the odds of surviving a landing under those conditions are poor.

Mind you, those planes stall at much higher speeds, and those pilots all wore parachutes and trained on how to bail out if needed. But I wouldn't go so far as to say there's never any reason to jump.

I agree the video looks intentional.
Unless he was in Alaska, there are always roads relatively close by from a gliding perspective.

For more perspective, in the mainland US, the furthest you can get from a McDonald’s, let alone a rode, is 107 miles as the crow flies.

A Cessna can glide 9000 feet per 1000 feet altitude loss so at 10k feet that thing can go roughly 17 miles.

A 17 mile radius gives you 900 square miles to find a place to land. Even deep in the Rockies wilderness areas I’m familiar with, there are going to be several forest service roads available and plenty of natural clearings with that kind of range.
The client certainly should have made sure their code was truly position independent.

Also, the client should have embedded their code in the executable file name so they just have to jump to the appropriate offset in argv[0]. This way, future updates just require renaming the file!

Well...my personal experience has been that during the Obama administration spam call frequency drastically reduced. The do not call list was maintained, people were prosecuted for running spam call boiler rooms. Then, pretty much on inauguration day, it was very noticeable there was a huge increase in inbound spam calls. It was as if a bat signal had gone up to the effect "do do evil, it'll be ok". And now, in the newest administration we now have new government activity to crack down on spam calls. For me, a pattern is emerging...
I find it ironic that we are subject to the power of a bunch of people who probably couldn't even read or write proficiently, let alone understanding the basic science.
How do you think they're connected?
I'm no genius by any means, I get into this topic a bit with a few friends of mine who exhibit this genius/jerk persona. They're great, sincere, loyal, and friendly in a million ways too: love em to death. I want to emphasize this because I don't want the jerk label to be too much of a dismissal.

I can agree that for them I think "jerk-ness" is really connected to dive and passion to be deeply informed and meaningfully correct. Everything else can feel like a distraction, or extra, or dancing around the point. And they can typically take being proven wrong gracefully because they respect correctness.

But I also find it (playfully) funny when they jump through logical contortions, ad-hoc speculation, just-so thinking when it comes to defending these things. If anyone had come to them with arguments structured so arbitrarily they would have ripped them to shreds for being unfounded and self-serving.

My take: Being a jerk is just as much a personal/emotional quirk. The challenges they have with managing the different odd logics of "emotion-y" things make valuing civility for others BUT ALSO to logically frame a convincing path for why they should be bothered to do anything different.

The ones from before 1923 go public domain in less than 100 hours. The ones from 1923 go public domain in 2 years and 100 hours (there's an extra 1 year gap), then it's one year per year until you reach 1946, which has a 10 year gap.

Most iLOMs are some small/cut-down Linux distribution. Sadly often woefully out of date to begin with (both in terms of kernel and userspace apps) and often prematurely abandoned in terms of firmware updates from the OEM. Of course the hardware is just novel enough to make rolling your own install/updates from a standard distribution impossible.
Honestly, I though NFTs were just a tax loophole to begin with.
Because it is harder. Why do you have brutal bootcamps when you join the military? To eliminate your assumptions and break you, and show yourself your limits and form a foundation upon which you can build something that lasts.

One's experience of adopting to new hardships and challenges can either be an uphill battle or downhill. You start with a hard language with manual memory management and small community you are forced to figure things out on your own, learn by helping others and contributing libraries. Then you can appreciate easier languages and learning them would not be as steep of a curve compared to starting off easy.

I'm curious what others think about this: I feel like a lot of tools written like this (Vite, Vitest) are written for Vue specifically, and while of course there are reasons for building new tools that are more Vue focused, it feels like a lot of them are built partly because of not-invented-here. I haven't been on top of the ecosystem changes so much lately, so I might be off base, but do others feel like this too? Am I missing something?
Yep. (better on mobile where the bottom can get cut off)
It depends on "where", in any city. You could certainly find a 2BR in somewhere like MSP or Chicago, but it won't be near the downtown core, and you'll have some interesting neighbors.

A couple years ago, myself and two friends were living in a 6Br/2.5Ba house for a total of $1900/mo. So, $633 each, and while the house was a little cold in the winter and the neighborhood wasn't exactly the cultural center of the midwestern city, it was a short drive to somewhere more interesting, and we each had two bedrooms. And no, it wasn't a mansion; it just had a really strange layout, and a couple of the "bedrooms" legally weren't "bedrooms".

You can find it. But oftentimes kids coming right out of college come to big towns with this idealism of "i want to live in a high rise apartment, in the downtown center, go out with friends every weekend". Every time I have that conversation, I encourage them: do that for a year. You'll have the money. But year 2: think more critically about saving money, move further away from the "hip" areas. And still go out every weekend with your friends!
I think it’s more like a resizable array class that keeps track of the size for you.
The biggest issue with C++ metaprogramming is not necessarily that it is that powerful (though I've concluded for me that C++ allows too much overloading of semantics by library authors and they seem to really like that) but that the metaprogramming "language" if you can call it that is just incredibly weird and like nothing else on Earth. There's this entire jargon that literally only exists for meta C++ and that should be kind of a huge red flag besides the entire thing being an accident. It's truly a "weird machine" in the truest sense of the word that somehow became an industry standard.
