In short, Russia and the current Republika Srpska leadership has incentives to keep the situation simmering but they don't have the means to heat the situation to the point of boiling.

The OHR can at any time remove from power any politician who would try that. NATO and EUFOR forces stationed in the country could easily quell any conflict. Even without relying Bosnia's internal security forces and neighbours that also have an interest in peace in B&H.

We protested for years in the USA, and that didn't shut down Gitmo, or keep us from going into Iraq.

I haven't ever voted FOR a presidential candidate, only against a worse choice. How do I deserve that?

Life isn't simple. Governments can be captured by Oligarchs and Autocrats. The will of the people largely goes ignored.

I posted a comment noting that some words can no longer be used because they resemble offensive words, even though they are etymologically unrelated.

I am ironically amused to note that the comment appears to have offended somebody or something sufficiently to make it disappear, even though it did not contain any actual offensive words.

Not handing your data to companies will result in poor data and bad decisions on their end, which is bad for them and the customers.

What's super idiotic in all this is that the "data companies bad" is often spread by the very companies which would rather have data themselves than their competitors.

In fact, one of the main benefits of adopting the shipping container in the 1970s was reducing such graft. Earlier most of the cost of shipping by sea was the labour of packing and unpacking goods at the pier. Goods such as liquor and electronics simply went missing during transit. This was a common practice on the New York piers at the time.

The shipping container changed that. It was vastly cheaper because it took very little time to handle at the ports, and it cut down on graft. Shipping and exports grew in the US because “losses” decreased.

I think one of the main issues is that Vulkan is really bad from a usability perspective. OpenGL is too, but there is little incentive to switch from one bad API that you know how to use, to another bad API that you don't know how to use. On the other hand, I've spent time learning WebGPU in the past year and found that it was an excellent API that is an enormous quality of live improvement over OpenGL, so even if it has fewer features (due to Web, not API design), it's still something that I really want to switch to, unlike Vulkan.
TBH in one company we worked on Windows laptops. I was rebooting my laptop on every Friday and my friend once a month. His everyday task took much longer and laptop was slower, after reboot both was fast and fresh.
That small dumb experiment made me sure windows machines needed a regular restart.
Same with Android phones. When I set scheduled phone reboot on every Saturday evening it started to work without any issues.

Caring about whole-system performance is another step beyond that, because you mainly care about second-order effects and not going full blast using all the resources.

Even the performance people can argue with me on here when I give them correct advice like that you might not want to try and use all CPU and memory just because they're there.

(For instance because your process is lower priority and so is only scheduled on E-cores and so the # CPUs number you see doesn't actually apply to you.)
Just coming here down to note that despite, or because the lizard part, our brains are wonderful creation machines. All the comments up to this parent, including the mysterious physical red button, are great.

On my part, I think the trick is being selective with the addictions we indulge in. Exercise, reading, having sex, cooking, going on walks, writing, 3D modelling. A good mix of addictions is great in life!
> Cut and paste is bad for file managers since it requires the file to "disappears" until you paste it. Copy a piece of text off a web page and you've got data loss.

What? Is this what happens in MacOS? Because it's definitely not happening in Windows, the cut file does not disappear, it stays until pasted. I can't even fathom that this scenario would be real in any modern OS. File object and text should be handled as separate class of entities and this situation should not occur even theoretically.

> "Enter" is the most natural choice for renaming since it's an extremely common operation (cmd+R would require 2 key presses) and F2 is used for brightness.

??? How often do you rename files vs how often you open them? What is your line of work where file renaming is "extremely common"?

> Note that modern Windows boxes also put brightness controls on F2, so you need to twist your hand awkwardly to press fn+F2 to rename anything.

No, just no. Powerusers (that I know) simply reverse that behaviour to have F-keys behave as original F-keys, the rest just select Rename from context menu.
> The English word outrage is a loanword from French, where it was formed by combining the adverb outre (meaning "beyond") with the suffix -age; thus, the original literal meaning is "beyondness" – that is, beyond what is acceptable. The rebracketing as a compound of out- with the noun or verb rage has led to both a different pronunciation than the one to be expected for such a loanword (compare umbrage) and an additional meaning of "angry reaction" not present in French.

Brilliant. I'll need to make a point of pronouncing "outrage" to rhyme with "garage" from now on. "It is an oot-RAAZH!"
> I remember using FDT for development, but this program crashes upon opening. I’ve tried installing the Flex SDK, but running the compiler throws errors about finding the location of certain required files (why these aren’t a part of the SDK is beyond me).

There's likely some breaking changes in the past decade of Flex SDK. Try to use a VM or Container with something like Ubuntu 12.04 or Debian old-stable and use old versions of the Flex SDK, this will give you a higher chance to compile successfully.

Totally, that's a fair point. I guess I'm asking this question to try to crowdsource the info more quickly than I can get it from recruiters.

By non-FAANG, I guess I mean some combination of:

1. Companies your uncle might not have heard about (by this I mostly mean not AirBnB or Uber)

2. As an extension of #1, probably b2b

3. Headcount somewhere in the 20-150 neighborhood

4. Probably something established, not seed-stage or a venture rocketship

5. Somewhat less onerous interview processes. I don't mind fun algo and design problems, but I would rather not have to prep for 4 months to have speed leetcode thrown at me for 8 hours

This is all just off the top of my head, though. And I know that all 5 in one company is a lot to ask for.
They can choose, but that doesn't mean they get what you want. It takes two to form an alliance.

The sad truth is that Ukraine would make a poor ally and NATO doesn't want to have them as full members. The only thing worse than a poor corrupt country, is one in an active war.

However, the war is very useful to NATO because it consumes Russian resources.

I'm not sure of your exact problem, so this might not be helpful, but learning about the reflog in Git accelerated my learning Git because I was no longer fearful of getting my repo into such a state, as I knew the reflog would get me out of trouble, i.e. I could try most any old Git op knowing that if I stuffed things up, I wasn't doomed to re-clone.
Martial law was effectively declared in DC for months after January 6th anyway. No assumption of power by Trump.

Killing members of congress doesn't really change the fact that Pence was responsible for counting the votes, and the process would likely have resumed as quickly as possible.

This explanation is just so hand-wavy and doesn't really to capture what would likely happen in the case that a bunch of random Trump voters killed members of congress.

Now matter which way you slice it, any attempt by Trump or Pence to overturning official election results (even if they were fraudulent) was made impossible by the breach of the capitol.

There is no perfect situation. These are families that "un-adopt a child." They don't want the kid. It stands to reason the kid will (or at least may) be better off if the family that doesn't want it, can find one that does.

>Put another way its not a better situation for the kid, only an out for the parents.

You say this as if it's fact. I don't buy that a kid is always better off (or same) to be with someone who doesn't want them.

>You don't just get to say this sucks halfway through and give up.

You do, and part of the reason for this is because society decided adoption is better than not giving a release valve for situations where parenthood isn't in the interest of the involved parties. The alternative, banning these adoptions / re-adoptions, could result greater risk of dangerous and abusive situations. If you don't allow someone to exit a situation that they see going into a train-wreck, you seal the fate of the kid and the parents going into the train-wreck; better to give these persons an out.
Maybe you consider this folding bike over-engineered too?!

That’s not really fair. For example Go programs written in v1.0 are still mostly compilable (the few tweaks you do need to make aren’t substantial).

Rightly or wrongly Apple very much decided Swift should take a different approach to backward compatibility.
Because of the extension (if not the very existence) of NATO after 91?
Take no computer, only paper and pen/pencil. Spending 3 months away from the computer should give you plenty of ideas, and time to think about how you would implement them. The best art sometimes comes from working around obstacles.

You could spend that time volunteering somewhere non-computer related. Interacting with a bunch of new people might also help you discover your passion.
I guess for some definition of stable[1] you could say that we knew Swift 2 was not that, and by the time Swift 5 was released we knew it'd reached that milestone.

I experienced corruption and had to bribe an officer. This was more than 20 years ago. I hope you find my tale interesting as an example how bribery is executed exactly, even if you are clueless like me.

I was in Romania to watch the solar eclipse of there. Then we started our itinary back home. About one kilometer before the border to Hungary we were stopped by the police. It was very flat and the road very straight. We already could see the border post in the distance. The officer seemed friendly and beckoned me to get out of the car. I got off and he wanted to look at the trunk. I opened it and I showed him our gear, two tents, sleeping bags, clothes, some food and it took the time. He was very friendly, like an older uncle of you. He wanted to look at our papers again and when I passed him my passport he made a gesture, he put the flat hand between two pages.

After some time I suddenly realized that he wanted to be bribed. Duh!

Then I said, sorry no more Romanian Lei, but we have Hungarian Forint, and he nodded eagerly. So I said, just a moment please and took back my passport then I did some calculation in my head. I decided to give him $20 worth in Forint and put the notes in the passport and gave him the passport back. He was happy and gestured that we can continue.

Just to know, this was only two years after the fall of Ceausescu.

We drove away. Slowly just to give him the feeling that he has the situation in control.

We expected to wait about 15 minutes at the border post, as it already happened when we entered Romania. But when we slowly cruised to the post, another officer appeared and beckoned us through. We overtook about four cars.

I didn't plan to but we got VIP treatment.

Today I think I shouldn't have bribed the officer. However I was completely clueless and I had a good rapport with the officer and I just wanted to help him and us. I still don't know what I should have done.
> So the objects are ALWAYS disjoint from every other object. Or are you concerned that they are aliased with the static 'data_storage' char array?

Yes, plus if you call it twice it returns two pointers to the same object, because there's no way in C to create another "object". Of course, as long as the callers don't know this it's fine, but it would be a problem if eg you compile your custom malloc with ASAN/Valgrind and don't tell it that it's a malloc.

I think C++ partially addresses this with "placement new" but not sure how far.
Feels fluid for me :)

C++ overs all kind of high-level features and allow to go low-level when need. I know the core stuff and what I use regularly in addition. Will likely never learn all possibilities of C++. I don't think that is neither intended nor possible. The compiler does know all that stuff and according to my knowledge that is its purpose. Compiler, the best friend of the developers.
Nowadays the compilers talking most of the time in clear language ;)
Samsung. Can you please stop writing software, you simply are not very good at it. From phones to tvs to refrigerators...just stop
That's fair. This may be better phrased as "total semi-liquid comp of $200-300k". So not $200k all-cash, but also not $90k cash + (maybe $10mm but probably $0 in options).
No, the sound quality is actually very good, it’s digital and it’s better than mp3 that people listen to all the time. But you can also make the sound quality poor and fit even more channels.

Thanks for the comments, I will update the article with more details about script.
The FAQ heavily downplays the fact that it is a highly derivative architecture from MIPS. Yes the exact encodings are different, and there are a few differences in instruction but of the kind you might expect from a revision of an ISA.

To the point where the Linux kernel port for the architecture was a straight copy and paste of large parts of the assembly code from arch/mips (with the replacement of the copyright headers being among the largest changes in some cases).

Sadly it's exactly what you would expect of a Chinese ISA.
It's the same reason Nintendo makes money reselling games from 5-10 years ago - there was nothing wrong with the software (from a standalone, I want to play this game or this movie, perspective).

Yeah sure you can dig through lots of specialized software and hardware to do software museum "curation", if you will, but this isn't a case of emulatimg DOS games or what not - those work.

The sucessor to flash's animation software, well it doesn't exist, not even with all html's fancy css and js frameworks. And I say that knowing there is some impressive stuff done in JS.

It's a bit like if we all decided, nope, C++ is illegal now, gotta do everything in rust, except now decades of work just can't be compiled anymore...

I can still go out and compile old c programs on really old operating systems even on modern systems - these are working programs which simply no longer function, and the replacement efforts have no major steam behind them.

Arguably for good reason, the old stuff did really suck and HTML was better for a bit (it sucks again already), but these are perfectly good pieces of art that just no longer function.
I did. If you're a developer, for a personal machine it's both easy and straightforward (I have work provided machines that use other OS's but that's outside the scope of this post). Do a little research on HW that works well with Linux (I went all AMD). Purchase, wipe, install distro of your choice (I went with Manjaro, because of Arch, doesn't really matter). It's been about 2 years and I haven't had a single serious issue (serious as defined here is, can't boot or non-functional HW). I'm running most of the latest stuff, Sway on Wayland, pipewire, etc...
Unpopular opinion. Flash ( its runtime and the Dev Environment ), HyperCard, and arguably Visual Basic 6.0

These three in my opinion bring a lot of people into coding. I guess the word programming would be too prestige to be used to describe them and may anger those in Silicon Valley. But for the 99% of people out there, all they wanted was their computer somehow do what they tell them to do without being shown all these functional / object oriented programming and which programming language to fight for etc. People were even happy just coding a plug-in for World of Warcraft using Lua.

I still think the whole industry for computing has moved in the wrong direction.

Samsung suspends product shipments to Russia
I used to do a fair amount over LiveShare and we would adapt depending on the relationship we had. It got more interesting the more level we were.

One of the more successful patterns that came out was to: talk about the goal, write out the code that acted as interfaces between the two of us, and then split up and tackle two things at once. That might have been code vs tests, backend vs frontend, migration vs adapting existing code. We would often then swap and discuss what we'd done (and we might be asking little questions as we go to help refine each other's approach), add improvements or plug gaps and then finally give it a good end-to-end run through with some exploration.

We were working together on the problem, asynchronously, and you'd be surprised how little there were occasions where a big assumption at the beginning was missed and made us go off in different directions. This was nearly always caught early as we talked whilst we worked on our separate areas and had a quick glance at what the other person was writing. I'm convinced that we caught them faster than if I was alone as we had the opportunity to think about the problem from multiple perspectives at once.
