The implementation of Scheifler' X window system for IBM/Intel was called X386, which eventually was forked and freed. It was renamed XFree86, as a pun. Then was renamed Xorg.

There were a few implementations of X for different unixes. Mostly closed source. It was very buggy, and patches were posted online, under the form a LD_PRELOAD-ed libraries. iirc, I had to preload a few libraries to work around the HPUX X implementation to be capable of running Mozilla Suite.

The relational model isn't logically related to transactions or rollbacks. It is easy enough to have those without the relational model.
The C you will get to learn is also planning to have lambdas, and they are being based on C++ design rather than Apple's blocks, so the example assumes they will also be in C2X.
Foreign keys does not correspond to class hierarchies in OOP. If anything, they correspond to object composition.

E.g. you might have a Customer table and an Order table with FK from Order to Customer. This would correspond to a Customer object holding a collection of Order objects - it would not correspond to Order being a subclass of Customer.

In any case, the relational model is not supposed to map directly to any particular programming model or paradigm. You should be able to interact with relational data from OOP, imperative, functional and declarative languages.

"actually it's not even going down"

Googling for proof that should validate your wrong beliefs is not called understanding. It's called reinforcing my wrongly held beliefs.

So after saying "removing something" means "not removing something", now saying "it's not even going" down means "I never said it's not even going down". Am I again breaking HN rules by repeating the contradicting things you keep saying?

New capacity in nuclear worldwide last year was roughly zero.

Yes, the same story exists in San Francisco, and it's difficult to ascertain, at the surface level who is telling the truth. The DA says police isn't bringing them cases, and the police days the DA isn't prosectuting.

> There are three levels of risk here. Individual risk, group risk (protecting people in a more vulnerable group, for example), and societal risk (preventing spread, or limiting the damage to publically funded healthcare by limiting your own risk). Now with omicron, the individual risk for a healthy 30 year old is obviously way down. The societal risk from the disease is very high due to infectivity (staff shortages etc), and the group risk is also rather high as the disease is still pretty bad for the oldest age group, especially without boosters.

So it seems like a good idea for vulnerable people to get boostered. People can protect themselves from severe disease with the vaccination. The evidence that others are protected through a vaccination is pretty much non-existent. A reduction of societal risk is not a strong argument in this case, because the absolute reduction of risk by the vaccine is very small. Below 3%. You need to vaccinate about 100 people in order to prevent one more case, based on data from before last April. I bet it is worse now with Omicron:

Attitude to fight everybody and be better then everybody can lead to being alone because nobody wants to be your friend or only as long as you have money or other stuff.

Yes some people have victim mentality but again just because someone has a winning attitude does not mean he/she will win.

The odds are bigger of course if you do something but again how much? from 0.001 to 0.002? or 0.05? Just doing stuff is most often not a better advise then doing nothing.

Yeah, a file system stores general data so it is very easy to map it to an RDBMs that also stores general data.

But what this is identifying that once the relational nature of the data isn't a factor, the best lookup structure is a tree.

Destructors bring about complications with lifetimes and move vs copy semantics among other things. Simple scope-based defers are trivially understandable (if you don't abuse text replace macros...) and are mostly just syntactic sugar allowing for better, more maintainable code in almost all codebases. IMO seeing such an overcomplicated version of defer even being considered for C is embarrassing to say the least.

I've used it on smaller teams, and even those who were "less technical" didn't have an issue.
Advantages, as I see it are that it's so seamless. PR's and branches are even more intuitive than Jira. It ties into the repo's wiki, perfectly too.

IMHO the biggest draw is that it's such a simple system. There are no surprises in it. It never does anything un-expected.

That's a little bit like saying, it's impossible to write functioning code because you could make a mistake. But an abstraction that can be misused might still be an abstraction worth using.

Here is a macro that can be used to emulate a defer

#define CONCAT_(a, b) a ## b
#define CONCAT(a, b) CONCAT_(a, b)
#define UNIQUENAME() CONCAT(i_, __LINE__)

#define SCOPE_(counter, init_stmt, exit_stmt) for (int counter = ((init_stmt), 1); counter--; (exit_stmt))
#define SCOPE(init_stmt, exit_stmt) SCOPE_(UNIQUENAME(), (init_stmt), (exit_stmt))

Granted it's a hack, but it can be useful at times. I've used something like it to define a large data hierarchy in code for example, as having to close all the nodes manually is tedious.

You could wrap a second for-loop around the definition of the macro to at least be able to catch misplaced "break" statements.

> XMPP WG to allow on-connect TLS)

Wait what, since smtps STARTTLS is quite old I though it's by now
well known that _any_ form of late TLS is a massive security vulnerability...

Some form of transport layer security not being the default and starting late would for me on itself enough of a reason to exclude XMPP from a lot of things.
It's not an major concern though.

If one has trouble writing correct cleanup code conventionally (with "goto out" and a single function exit), then allowing them to use defer will only lead to more obscure issues.

And if defer is meant to make code slimmer, it still doesn't belong to C, because it leads to implicit execution and memory/stack allocation.

C is an explicit and verbose language. What you see is what you get. This is the spirit of the language. Unlike with, say, C++ where "a + b" may actually produce kilobytes of machine code, because + just happend to be overloaded.
I’m curious as to why you find sql to be clunky, I find it extremely on point in most cases. I mean, how would you write a SELECT that was better than:

SELECT whatever FROM thisplace?

I know you can make it clunky with parameters and crazy stored procedures, and I’ve myself been guilty of a few recursive SQL queries that most people who aren’t intimate with SQL struggle to understand quickly, but I consider those things to be bad practice that should only be done when everything else is unavoidable.

The fact that SQL is still the preferred standard sort of speaks volumes to me about how good it is. We’re frankly approaching something similar with C styles languages. I recently did a gig as an external examiner, and it took me a while to realise that some code I was reading by a student in their PDF report was Kotlon and not TypeScript, because they look so alike.

Doom is probably the most obvious example of how the PC eventually came to overtake the Amiga’s graphical capabilities, but I think it’s less well known that it took even longer for anything to overtake the Amiga’s audio capabilities.

Demoscene creators were putting out fantastically creative polyphonic rich music on Amigas for years while Doom-playing PCs were still blip-blopping.

Even when Sound Blaster type cards (with sampled instruments) became popular, MIDI was the standard of PC audio, which couldn’t hold a candle to MODs.

The MOD music format actually outlived the Amiga, being used in 1998 in Unreal and in 2000 in Deus Ex.

> they're in place to save lives!

But not all lives. The whole population does not need to get vaccinated. Not everyone's life is under threat. Not even close.

Omicron spreads regardless, as is clearly observable. Australia has very high vaccination rate, but the virus is everywhere. Yet, they're still worried about unvaccinated sentiment?

It's important for vulnerable and elderly people to get vaccinated because their lives are the ones that can be saved.

Novak's life is not under threat from the virus. He chose not to be vaccinated for himself. Only a fool would get vaccinated for reasons of "perception".

The WHO chief warned countries recently that "you can't boost your way out of the pandemic". The AstraZenic scientist said recently the focus for vaccination should shift to elderly and vulnerable, as it's not feasible to vaccinate the whole world every few months.

"Hey man, even though you don't need it, can you please get vaccinated to encourage others to get the jab?".... Novak said no. And now the government believes the opposite is true - that Novak will influence perception in a direction that differs to the government's policy. See, the Australian government operates on what looks good or bad. Actual substance and practicality is down the list.

Now he's labelled an anti-vaxxer icon, a trouble-maker, and then booted out of the country. All he wanted to do was play some tennis. He's an ambassador for sport, fitness, and has done some great work over the years. To see him treated like this is a disgrace.

Everything else you said is irrelevant. End of the day, Novak was treated like crap because a politician wanted to look "tough on borders". Even though Omicron is everywhere down here, spreading among the vaccinated, there's an irrational and popular response that the 5% of unvaccinated people are somehow driving the pandemic.
