The reason I primarily use Linux instead of Windows, and what I imagine is a compelling reason for a lot of other people, is the GNU developer utilities (binutils, autoconf, make, etc.) and the various package managers. With no standard package management or build system for C, this makes it much easier to compile the vast amount of C projects out there. A quick search finds that Haiku uses these tools, and also has a package manager. How mature are these for C development?

You should mention that it was her idea and that you worked on it together on the web page! I'd buy it to support her efforts more than because I am sure my 11 year old would enjoy it!

One other thing I wasn't sure about it from the web page was how it was a game. I got the impression that it was basically just a set of python programs/ideas and you pick one at random. Is there anything game-like going on or is it just that?
Sure. But that buffer was about to join NATO. Ukraine received a guaranteed invitation, so it is only a question of when, not if. Invading Ukraine pushes that, basically inevitable, NATO border further to the West.
You say it like it's a bad thing that textiles are manufactured in poor countries?

As an example: Bangladesh has been on a multi-decade long streak of excellent economic growth. Mostly thanks to the textile industry. Regular people are better off.

> In last decade, poverty dropped by around one third with significant improvement in human development index, literacy, life expectancy and per capita food consumption. With economy growing close to 6% per year, more than 15 million people have moved out of poverty since 1992.[64]

If they could do it, we would have let them. But due to market failures throughout the course of history, we have learned to apply hysteresis to markets by stockpiling reserves and offering price supports in times of oversupply. The alternative is boom and bust cycles, which is fine for some markets like cryptocurrency and tulips, but bad for food and other necessities.
There must've been some sort of evolutionary benefit in perception of time shortening as you get older for most people.

Adulthood is rife with disappointments and positive apathy, if such cycles would seemingly get longer, existential crisis might set in and the organism might start self-destructing.

Google Kubernetes Engine vs. Cloud Run: Which Should You Use?
If you're the manager and call a team meeting with required attendance, then yeah, you are. Which is essentially what most of these companies are doing. Requiring attendance at in person events. Or not providing the tools necessary to attend remotely when most of the team is in person. That is basically forcing people to come in.
What was the tipping point where spam won the SEO arms race? Feels like SEO has been a thing for decades, cat and mouse, back and forth and the outcome for the search user has been good/decent results for most of that time, there have been big corrections against spam like Panda but generally consistent good results.. then recently bam! huge downswing in quality, spam won the war? Or Google gave up? Seems kind of unbelievable that suddenly its all gone to shit, what changed?
The open-ui is only potentially good when you need something that resembles the standard controls and interactions. At the moment it only has a few controls specified and if you need anything not covered by those you are going to end up creating your own UI -- e.g. using a treeview dropdown instead of a listbox, or if you have a form with multiple checkboxes and need that group of checkboxes to be a role=select from an ARIA perspective in order to place form error messages on that group so that screen readers read the error set on the ARIA description, but still display as a list of checkboxes to the user.

When you have custom UI, then you need to mark that up in a way that is accessible and implement things like keyboard navigation properly. No matter how many standardized UI elements you create there will always be cases where you need to use ARIA markup and not just for styling/theming, but for accessibility as well like in my form error example above.

The ARIA authoring practices is the best thing I know of that does that, along with other resources like www.a11ymatters.com for patterns like pagination.

If you are saying that the authoring practices isn't good enough, then what we need is a battle tested guide on how to implement all of the UI patterns (disclosure, dialog, select, etc.) that works on all screen reader/browser combinations and documents all current features (ARIA, keyboard, dark mode, reduced motion, styling/theming, etc.). It should also include notes on what issues and resolutions to look out for, and details on what users of assistive technologies are looking for (e.g. when and what content should be read out).

You can (and should) have a set of common components that implement these patterns in a way that can easily be styled to handle 80% of the use cases. But there should also be a way to support the other 20% of use cases -- which is what ARIA was designed for.
Ukraine had no choice. They were Russian nukes, and not giving them back would have probably triggered a war immediately. But with Ukraine drowning in pro-Russian influence at the time, there is no chance they would have defied Russia.
social media has been around for quite some time now, why suddenly this is the first war on social media and everyone is talking about? There was three wars last year, as far as I know, a few still going on now.
If you have not noticed, Russia been courting Pakistan for the last few years.

Why? Modi is leaving Russian military hardware for US one, or so he threatens.

Second, Pakistan is broke, and is on the road to becoming Argentina 2.0. Even with the sorry state of Russian exchequer, Russia can probably spare a billion or so.

If it is not just Modi, then Putin wants a platz-de-arme in the region.
That falls under things that were already undefined or impossible to use properly before.

Older standards said "it is
implementation-defined whether the old object is deallocated". This didn't really work well:

- if realloc(..., 0) returns NULL if it freed the object, then you have confusion with error cases. strtol already has this kind of interface and it's unusable

- if realloc(NULL, 0) returns NULL and does nothing it does something different than malloc(0). Some chose to make it do something different, some chose consistency with malloc.

- if you choose consistency with malloc then realloc(NULL, 0) likely will end end up inconsistent with realloc(ptr, 0) where ptr is not NULL. On BSDs the two are consistent but also different from any other platform, so portable code could not rely on realloc(..., 0) doing something known: either you had possible double-free bugs on some platforms, or you had a memory leak.
That's when the generals start talking about a "limited nuclear war", and talk about survivability. The leaders don't need to be convinced that there will be small numbers of casualties, just that their country can survive or even come out stronger than their adversaries

And I'm sure there are lots of simulations that show a survivable outcome, even if it turns out to not be true in reality.

Even in the USA, there's been talk of developing small tactical nuclear weapons for use in a limited nuclear war.

https://rollcall.com/2017/02/02/pentagon-panel-urges-trump-t...

But the problem, of course, is once that nuclear snowball starts rolling, it's hard to stop it, and there's no predicting how big it'll get because leaders don't always act as they do in simulations.

Ah, yes. Things are so terrible now. Definitely not like the days in which http didnt have TLS, and NFS was used over the internet. All credentials and secrets free of any in transit encryption. Much more secure back then.
It was cool when companies initially did that. Now? Does the average person even type in urls? They probably click on a link. Who cares what the URL is then.
Yup, came here to leave the same comment. The video is great and he actually has a solid take on modern geopolitics overall.

As a westernised russian I could be biased. But I’m also trying to maintain a neutral realistic perspective and this view resonates with me a lot.

The private sector is perfectly capable of providing security? Private sector entities store and handle valuable stuff all the time.

(Government) control is another issue. Obviously, a government run scheme would be under more government control. Though laws are perfectly capable of controlling private sector entities, too.
If there's no egress, Planet Scale would make for a pretty neat blob cache store (key -> blob queries) to front S3 for hot objects... 100b reads per month with S3 would cost $40K+ for just GET requests (discounting egress): https://archive.is/4HYH6

As long as the ACM continues using copyright to restrict access to the intellectual heritage of humanity, they are in no position to comment on the ethics of corporate behavior.

In this article, Vardi says, "I have seen practically no serious discussion in the ACM community of its relationship with surveillance-capitalism corporations;" well, that's because people who take ethics seriously avoid participating in the ACM community.
I was trying to get a FHO Loan as of last year and i Didn't meet up with the minimum credit score that was required which was 520 i think .. yeah 520 and i had a poor credit of 430 , thought of what to do to boost up my credit but all i did was to no avail not until I was referred to Virtualhacknet@gmail.com , he told me that it was just going to take him 4 weeks because he had a lot doing at that time and to my greatest surprise he got my credit to a wh*ping score of 870.. I'm so excited writing this
It’s demoralizing if anything.
> What you consider misinformation and propaganda I may consider valuable vantage points.

If they are actual misinformation and propaganda and you are unwilling to even admit existence of that category, then you yourself are threat to freedom - of speech or otherwise.

> I also should point that any defense of the freedom of speech also defends freedom of misinformation and propaganda.

Nah. Defenders of free speech not being willing to criticize misinformation and propaganda, calling those "valuable vantage points" and being quick to criticize and attempt to shut up criticism of those is what is dangerous for free speech.

Pointing out misinformation and propaganda as such is a good thing.
Oh, so we think putting arms in space is a good idea now? there is a treaty against that, because if we accept that, anyone who is able to get objects into space can do some of the following:

- Park nukes in space -> no launch, you just drop them on your enemy
- Tungsten rods -> put a couple of tungsten rods into a launch satellite and have them rain down from space on your enemy

Not sure that this is such a good idea.
this is important to the war, everybody knows that those who control the mutant faction, will win the war
What kind of market failures are you talking about?

Robust futures markets are perfectly capable of protecting producers and consumers from price fluctuations (and help stabilize prices as they do so). Similarly for long term contracts between consumers and suppliers.
Oh, I didn't know that. Okay, then it might be unsolvable.
I hope it's abundantly clear to anyone that Putin and buddies cannot be trusted. Whenever some politician suggest any deals with them, shut him/her down.
That seems like a problem in itself, it needs to be on a hair trigger to fire soon enough to catch a weapon soon after launch. Sure would be bad to accidentally shoot down an unannounced manned rocket launch after the software thought it was a nuclear launch.
It is if that half is (and it is) the bottom performers.
It is one thing not to implement a requested feature, entirely another to invent transparently dishonest reasons why it cannot be done.
That's part of it but he had an ability to break locks and dismantle constructs with ease. I realized after a while he paid immense attention to how we installed every new addition to his habitat and then would seemingly aim to deconstruct our creations using the knowledge he picked up from our installation work. I truly am in awe of these creatures, especially after one of the long time Shedd workers told me that this particular octopus was just one of a group of very smart cephalopods they've had and that one of his relatives was even more intelligent!

Of course they would respond. MAD is just a mad possibility we all have to accept. As soon as russia attacks NATO with conventional weapons it will fight back with conventional weapons. But if Putin starts nukes, well than there is obviously only one answers to it (nukes).
A bit disappointed that it wasn't literally "the f-word" that was found.
Vitamin D deficiency 2.0: an update on the current status worldwide
It’s also not necessarily a legal strategy even as a Hail Mary.

California’s state Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that jury nullification is not a valid decision… and my understanding is if the outcome case can be attributed to “jury nullification” (i.e. could be as obvious as the defense suggesting it as an avenue to the jury, which ironically itself is legal, or as technical as the jury refusing to consider or explicitly refusing a piece of evidence that is entered in the record— think a moral objection to the law, or “evidence undeniably shows the defendant left the scene at 7pm, but we the jury contend it was 6pm”) it legally would be considered a mistrial and allowed to be re-litigated— and the sole person who has the power to attribute something to jury nullification and/or declare mistrial? The judge.

Most long term solutions don't work in short term, but you need to start them some day.
One of the reasons why Russia attacked is weak, corrupt Ukrainian government. Other is economic dependency making everyone think twice before retaliating.
> It's worth noting that Taiwan is in a similar situation with respect to China.

More than that, I think reading between the lines it's quite likely Putin and Xi Jinping have already agreed to back each other in the security council so that Russia can take Ukraine and China can take Taiwan without issue. This may have been planned for years, even, though it is right to point out that hinting at adding Ukraine to NATO without any real intentions to do so has had disastrous consequences.
Yes. There is no need of trying to avoid spelling this. I'm even going to write Voldemort. There I did it.

Why mention that it's partisan except to disparage?

For what specific reason beyond partisanship should we dismiss this?

Pointing out others' partisanship without making actual arguments seems awfully partisan, too. Partisan but empty.
Why write an article about the word "fuck" while being too scared to say "fuck" in the article?

I really like canned black beans. They have a decent amount of protein and fiber, they taste good, they're pretty cheap, and you just have to heat them up. Lentils are also good, but they take a while to cook. I use the white rice setting on the rice cooker.
Well yes, but it took a while.
Their whole concept of centralized governance is based on snitching and secret police since the Tsar days.

The US is also a massive chunk of land with heavily armed populace, how does it deal with state wide enforcement?

They both utilize a three letter agency that stands ready to infiltrate, assassinate, demoralize, discredit and reward snitches.

It appears that violence seems to be the root of all power, and power has positive correlation with access to secrecy. The more secret and violent you are, the more you are feared. Fear of violence and the unknown amplify the need for careful self-regulating behaviors amongst the sentient group competing for scarce goods.
They are being bled dry of everything the’ve got for the Western European elite. The benefits go to the upper classes while the working people suffer.
So long as Putin says he won't go beyond Ukraine we can just believe him at his word right? /Sarcasm. But sadly this does seem to have been the strategy since Crimea.

Assassinations on foreign soil including attempt on opposition leader who now rots in a jail on rediculous charges. Shooting down passenger planes. Putin needs a punch in the face that rattles him to the core such that he fears stepping outside in daylight.
The easiest are F and J, the home keys where your index fingers rest. The more you have to "reach away", the harder it is to always correctly reset your hand.
better to have private offices since that will maintain the social distancing. with open plan offices, if someone gets something, the spread will be faster

How do you know cows dont have fun too or engage in complex problem solving? Pigs seem quite intelligent also and capable of solving puzzles as do crows. Seems like having fun is a natural part of all sentient beings as boredom is inevitable.

Could it be that the novelty of discovering that octopus, a crustacean after thought, could suddenly be as intelligent if not more than the pig (thought to be more intelligent than a canine), prevent you from consuming it? Is the irony of people shouting Octopus Lives Matter protesting against its farming but not the massive industrial scale beef/pork production capacities not clear?

Why even stop there? What if tomorrow you learn plants were able to perform puzzles and solve problems, would you view your veggies differently?

An awful criteria for determining what is morally sound to consume as food, can humans also be consumed if they are unable to solve a simple Rubrik's cube? What if they are inside a box where your perception of whether the subject is having fun or not determines their life or death, upon the latter, you are morally safe and sound in partaking in cannibalism?
Are they searching for it or Tweeter is force feeding it to them?
The both scenarios, the Russian sub during the Cuba Crisis and the Officer ignoring the early warning system, didn't involve clear orders from the legitimate chain of command to launch. The sub operated under the absence of orders, while the early warning system was a standard operating procedure, and the Officer in charge was involved in the systems development.

In any army of the world I would assume that, especially in the case of nuclear forces, orders to launch are not second guessed. After all, the whole concept of MAD depends on a swift counter attack. If those attack orders wouldn't be carried out fast, in the limited time frame available, something would be wrong.
In my experience, I've found that if you are a small company or don't have 8-10 seniors, hiring juniors is extremely risky, specially if you are not in the U.S. (or anywhere you can't fire them instantly when you realize your mistake).

One junior per 10 mid level to senior devs, and they can add value (given they are good) without taking anyone's time significantly.

One junior for 5 seniors can still work (specially if you arw a much bigger company and can move the juniors to different teams), but be prepared to have times where one of the seniors is spending way too much time with the junior... but hopefully, in a year or two, the junior will be mostly independent or at least will learn how to make best use of their time they spend bothering the seniors... if they don't leave the company in that time, that is, which they most likely will do because someone with a +1 year experience becomes much more valuable, specially as a junior.

This advice is too generic of course. I have also encountered juniors who have been a pleasure to work with, who will make sure to listen, understand and incorporate your ideas in a fast-paced way (juniors have the advantage of not knowing or caring about ALL the different things) and come back to you prepared with the right questions to make the best use of your time. But then these are not very common.
> For one, it's actually happened that missiles looked like they were in the air, and a Soviet guy decided it was best not to send missiles back, and we're all still here.

Keep in mind that this false alarm didn't look like an all out attack, but like only one missile (or a handful, I don't remember the details).
This is effectively no different than donating money to the United States military. I can hardly imagine a more ridiculous thing to do with money.

> Make commands self-explanatory, drop the abbreviations, and just add autocomplete and suggestions to compensate for the verbosity.

Vim has autocomplete. That said, while I support long commands, I like having short commands because it's less typing, and I use vim on awkward keyboards where it matters. Also, any changes need to leave the old way or you break people's muscle memory (so again, just add the friendlier versions in addition, not as replacements, and I'm probably on board).
