This is not true in either of those C versions. C99§7.18.1.4 describes (u)intptr_t as optional, which (per §7.18) means that <stdint.h> need not provide those typedefs if the (compiler) implementation doesn't provide an integer type that allows reversible casting from a void pointer. Similarly, it's not clear in C90§3.3.4 that the implementation has to implement these casts in a reversible manner, although that is the obvious way of implementing it.

That being said, I can't think of an implementation that didn't support this, even if they did have to pack segment and offset information into a larger integer.
When I was a green badge SWE at Intel all my (blue badge) coworkers were 15-20 years older than me. No one my age stuck around.
Reversible transformations don't imply a flat address space. All it means is that there's an integral type with enough bits to record any address in them.
For big cloud markets, being #2 or #3 is a win:

- #2, #3, even maybe #4/#5 are big revenue. Cloud is unusually big and still growing insanely.

- crazy margins when they don't have to invent the core concept, go through core product/market fit R&D, nor fight for a distribution channel to market+sell it, nor fight middlemen for competitive pricing

- cross-selling & ecosystem lock-in means even revenue/profit don't have to be high or even positive
I'm not even sure what statistics has to do with the OP's question

Well, that was obvious. What's more likely? That OP is failing math because it's beneath him, or because he's got more in common with the *prior* million disaffected dropouts?
A usefull word for defining metameterials, at least in the field of electromagnetic metamaterials is "mesoscopic". Perhaps we need a generalization of this term to arbitrary length scales.

Electromagnetic metameterials are composed of nanometer-scale structures that alter the angstrom-scale (i.e. atom-scale) behavior of pure materials. These are often described as mesoscopic structures---structures that span the length scales between atoms and traditional fabrication scales.

Some great examples from nature include Beatle carapaces and the pads of gecko feet.
Developed a weird dementia at 39. Doctors Spent 2 years trying every prescription drug they could think of. Almost everything made matters worse. In some cases drastically. Complete nightmare. Those are with approved ones. Scary to try experiential.

Eventually learned it was a blood disorder and a simple blood thinner was the answer.
I think they're saying that the assembly translation doesn't store back `i`, whereas the C version does, so it's a not straightforward to assume that the assembly compiled from the C won't do that.
Thank you! Happy to have a reader. The topics meander a bit (as they should, since it's a personal blog), but I hope you find something you enjoy.

You should just sell maintenance subscriptions / better support tiers - lots of software companies have been doing that for years. Perpetual license and if it breaks for someone using it at home they can go to the free support forums. Large company that needs it fixed in a super quick turnaround? Monthly fee for priority.
I think we can safely dismiss 'The Internet' as an authority on anything.
Of course, China already has refuted your thesis. Due to lack of oversight and regulation (and enforcement), their health care system is mistrusted by everyone. That's why the country's covid inoculation rate has been so low. Because trust is very hard to regain once lost, ensurance of safety and efficacy in healthcare through regulation has clear advantages.
OpenSearch is a massively inferior offering compared to Elasticsearch too. It became outdated the moment it was forked, the documentation is lacking, and since you'll end up looking up ES docs and forgetting to switch to version 7.10, you'll get a nice reminder of everything new that has been added that you can't actually use.

The only thing it has going for it is that it's managed and you're already on AWS, so you don't need to spend months working up a contract with a new vendor and doing the security audit dance.

You also pay taxes. But you are right that for the first movers it will be an easy transition into living opulantly in Ohio. The same can't be said for the next generation of workers, who graduate and have no capital accrued from working at bay area rates, and start their careers working for these Ohio based employers at Ohio based salary rates, and since Columbus is experiencing the same lack of supply issue everywhere growing faces, this generation are going to find a cutthroat market for them like the current generation of engineers fleeing 2 million dollar homes in Palo Alto.
I was just about to add a comment about this too.

Also saying they “missed the Snowflake opportunity” doesn’t make sense either: they have Redshift? They don’t need to acquire Snowflake, they’re already the incumbent in the field.
Long story short - they tried different things, got small MRR, took money from an investor and grew up to $1m ARR in the next 2 years.

~500km is still a common NRO orbit, and presumably that’s to take the highest resolution images possible. The earliest spy satellites where under 150km and had extremely short lifespans. By comparison the commercial KOMPSAT-3 can provide 0.7m b/w images and 2.8m multispectral images from a 980kg satellite at 685 km and a multi year lifespan, I doubt classified satellites are that much better than that.

Some NRO satellites are sent to geostationary orbit, presumably for other missions. So, it really depends on the goals as not all satellites are designed for ground imaging.

Not in principle. I suspect it is impossible in the US without a significant cultural shift, somehow. A disturbing fraction of the country seems to consider the commonweal to be an old-fashioned concept or the domain of suckers.
Isolated carbon nanotubes, probably not. But certain arrangements of a large number of carbon nanotubes, almost certainly. Vantablack should almost certainly be described as a metameterial.
Similar experience but it's easy to keep increasing your tolerance that way to the point where you'll get the negative effects as well and become dependent. Finding a balance is tricky and I'm not sure it's worth it in the long run.

I'd personally would rather have it as a leisure activity once a week or month and not something I need for my job 5 days / week.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Zoom on Ubuntu works perfectly. It supports switching audio and video sources, annotating, screen sharing with previews of screens, window sharing, even break out rooms and the chat. Some things feel a bit unpolished but it pretty much just works.

The only thing I ever had trouble with are custom backgrounds, and they are a little silly anyway.
Standard for years was perpetual license + monthly fee for premier support / maintenance so it is definitely a workable model.
I made a lil clone of wordle and found that the full list of solutions, past and future, is right there in the minified js. Could be useful for your analysis.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just push forward with the robot thing rather than some decades-long (Real ID started in 2005 or 6) super-complicated social engineering project? If the goal is find a way to ensure burgers are flipped and toilets cleaned, wouldn't the rational idea be to invest in robotics and involuntary birth control technology, not try to ride herd on a giant mob of poor people who might turn on their "masters'" at any point?

For that matter, if you are one of the masters of the Universe, why do you even need the poor people who only interact with other poor people? If you were optimizing the world and were actually evil, wouldn't the world look a whole lot different than the uncoordinated mess we have today?

Why do "we" need people to feel pressured to do anything when frankly it's just easier to rule without a giant underclass you have to constantly fear?

It actively feels like everybody is looking for someone to blame for the state of the world when really the world is just the result of a whole bunch of people with a whole bunch of different hopes, plans, and dreams, many of which you might possibly disagree with.
Feel like I was just reading a comment on here today, in another thread, about how those stupid Google billionaires wasted all their money on this dumb Calico thing that will never amount to anything.
Every country's government has flaws, and criticizing them in general is fine. But when the only country you criticize for a given reason is also the only Jewish country in the world, despite there being a lot of other countries with the same (or worse) flaw, it becomes a reasonable assumption to think that anti-Semitism is why.
Shareware (at least back in the day) almost always had a free component. For a game that might mean levels 1-3 are free and then you buy the full game for the whole thing.

UB is only UB when it comes to ISO C++ guarantees. The implementations can always make their own guarantees above and beyond that; they don't have to restrict themselves to those parts that are explicitly "unspecified" or "implementation-defined" in the Standard.

Aren't they all related to fighting the effects of aging, which is the company mission?

I've observed that when some people have solved their money problems, the next challenge they face is their own aging and mortality - so they try to solve for that too.
Author here. They missed the Snowflake opportunity by having the wrong architecture for Redshift (decoupled storage and compute). They shifted to the Snowflake model in 2019, but the damage might already be done. For other the other services I listed, the main differentiators are mainly plugins/extensibility and developer experience.
I would say that the importance and need for reliable two-way satellite IP data as a backup for essential comms (wheter geostationary based, iridium, inmarsat, and soon starlink) is directly proportional to how bad the political situation is in a country.

Somewhere with an active civil war such as Yemen or Ethiopia, would rank towards the highest end of the scale.

I think it depends what the alternative is. If you have something like Alzheimer’s and no other alternatives, maybe self-experimentation is not such a bad idea.

Why would SHA-256 be vulnerable to quantum computing? Grover's algorithm only gives a square-root speedup for reversing hash functions, and that's in the best-case scenario where there are no engineering issues (e.g. the need for error correction) which could create polynomial overhead. That still leaves you with 128 bits of security.

Quantum computing could certainly break elliptic curve cryptography, but my understanding is that this only becomes an issue if you publish your public keys (e.g. if you use your key to digitally sign a message) instead of just publishing their hash, which is not standard practice in Bitcoin (for exactly this reason).
> You're always using it at native resolution, you're just adjusting your renderer settings.

No, when I wrote 'native resolution' I meant 1:1 pixel mapping, which is pretty obvious by context. Nobody has a laptop with a CRT on it these days.
Ah yes, safari.

I should be able to fix the rounding errors. I should disable the decimals completely in safari as my method of getting decimals isnt supported yet. (@property).

Lovely...
Have a look at the runtime, on my system the code is in

/usr/local/go/src/runtime/chan.go

There are some reflection calls in there, together with mutex lock/unlock and calls to 'typedmemmove' which seems to involve the use of memory barriers (mbarrier.go in the same directory).
I faced that question over a decade ago, and after looking around at my options, I went with Qt. No regrets. Sure, it had its flaws, and sometimes the "not-quite-nativeness" shows through, but it worked pretty well and gave me support for all 3 major desktop systems. And although someone else has long since taken over maintenance of the application in question, it's still going strong (and still built with Qt).
I am using Cerberus schema to validate my YAML configs:

Which compiler team doesn't take the C standard seriously?

And the C standard is by definition a contract between the implementation and its users.
I still use a lot of Python, often for little tools or scripts, especially anything where data needs to be transformed (like file formats for art assets), or something needs to be automated (run build scripts for all the different platforms). I built a little graphical puzzle/level editor for The Cat Machine with Python and SDL bindings too.

But I'm mostly using C# and Unity these days. There's too much useful stuff build into Unity to ignore it, and C# is very pleasant so I didn't find it particularly hard to make the jump - there's just a very definite 'Way' Unity wants you to do everything and so most of the time it's just a case of working out what that Way is.
> so you don't need to spend months working up a contract with a new vendor and doing the security audit dance.

That's a very big moat. Many decision makers are risk-averse w.r.t to infrastructure vendors and don't mind paying (or making someone else pay) a premium for that.

The only thing that changed in the saying "no one was fire for choosing IBM" is the name.

Ada still has plenty of UB; it's just that the cases where it arises are usually more explicit.
If you really want to support Kafka, I think there are options. Besides the obvious option of forking the .NET client to add these missing features, you could also write some kind of "plug-in" in Java or Go or some other language with a fully featured client library, and communicate with it over some type of local RPC from your main application to query against Kafka. Whether it is technically feasible or not, it may not make business sense for you, which is fine, just interesting to think about the options.

I'm slightly surprised that the .NET client isn't fully featured, but I've never tried to use Kafka from a .NET language before.
I'm not sure how related it is, but the average age of people involved in ham is pretty old. I went to a few meetups near me and the average person there was at least 60 years old. So it might be that these apps are made by an older generation with different norms around open source. Could just be an EE vs CS thing too, since open source is less common the EE world.
If we're on the topic of config languages, I'd like to plug Gura (https://github.com/gura-conf/gura). It's not too well-known, but it probably has the best design I've seen, and seems to have a good coverage of languages with an available library.
The vast majority of murders in most U.S. major cities and in the country as a whole are concentrated in a very small, highly concentrated area of demographic regions, yes, even inside cities. Take these and their socioeconomic factors aside, and the homicide rate plummets for the rest. This is a point that's worth keeping in mind for a highly heterogeneous, "melting pot" country like the U.S that is in many ways quite different from much of Europe.

edit: you can verify for yourself my claim about the murders and specific areas for nearly any U.S. city. they're easy to double check. Aside from certain very specific things, the U.S is no less a liberal place than Europe, possibly more so in so many ways.
If you optimize so that you are paying maybe 2-5 cents a click it really just depends on the application and industry. Something people need to buy right then and there is going to have much better conversion than something they need to research and think about it. Plus there is value in just getting the name of your software out there and into peoples hands so that it then spreads organically after that.

For something like this I would probably start at like 30$ a month and keep optimizing - worst case you lose only a few hundred over the course of a year.
> Managers in customer-facing jobs don't (and can't!) manage customers anymore. They manage employees.

They are managers so they do not have to be paid overtime if they work over 40 hours per week. The business owners/directors let the manager hire just enough people, but not at a wage that can afford reliable workers. So, the manager will be stuck covering for the people that do not show, and if something goes wrong, they serve as a nice “fall guy”.
The scrambling is easy to see once you know it's happening: press k and l simultaneously on your Thinkpad keyboard. It'll always come out "lk" unless you deliberately separate them.

Testing was done [0], but it's not written in an easy-to-understand way. As a summary, Thinkpad keys are scrambled within 15-23 ms. Usually, humans ascribe scrambled letters to their own mistakes, but this time it's the keyboard's fault. Lenovo continues to ignore the issue.

One very stupid solution for your password is to change its letters to go from right to left. That way the scrambling will become anti-scrambling and you can type your password even faster than on a normal keyboard!

The eZ80 is a better Z80, but it's still a Z80. It's worse in pretty much every way to a modern MPU.

The STM32 line is my preference for performant parts - there's an STM32L0 on the board doing USB to serial. I could likely emulate the eZ80 on that faster than the real thing runs, but I couldn't build an 8-bit bus computer with it.

As long as the market is allowed to build housing to meet demand it's not too bad.

Main issue in Palo Alto (and to a large extent the rest of the bay area) is that there's massive population growth in the bay area, but very little housing is allowed to be built. This creates artificial scarcity and the people that bought houses 30yrs ago accrue massive wealth because of it at the expense of new people (and the new people that manage to buy at exorbitant rates also end up paying the majority share of taxes too).

This is the natural incentive made worse by things like locked property taxes and rent control. You really need legislation that allows the market to build (easier said than done).
I keep my wfh office around 70f but my desk is right by a huge window, so my hands get very cold when it's freezing outside, making typing and desk-work annoying.

I got a little heated desk/writing pad online, and it is amazing.

If it is anything like BioTech, they will. I was shocked when I joined a large firm and realized that the person spending most of their day breaking down boxes and checking log books has a masters from Berkeley. Most of the techs running equipment have masters/Phds.

As I have come to realize, when a mistake or delay costs $XX million, it often makes sense to hire with high educational background. I have also come to realize that your bog standard MS or Phd isn't as talented as you might think.
