According to cppreference

> The value of errno is 0 at program startup, and although library functions are allowed to write positive integers to errno whether or not an error occurred, library functions never store 0 in errno.

https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/error/errno

So this program correctly tests whether printf or fflush wrote to errno. You just can't refactor it into a function you call not at startup... I suppose that is unless you're keeping to a convention where you always set errno back to 0 after any call that might have set it...
In contrast, the presence of Uber in London gave Black Cab drivers a well-deserved kick. Before they were expensive, refused to accept card payments and often would refuse to drive you somewhere that wasn't convenient for them.

The mayor actually tried to ban Uber but the public backlash was so great that they panned that move.
Linus Tech Tips has done some good breakdowns of specific cables so far (with a multi thousand dollar testing rig). They're ramping up to do full testing of all types of cables.

You're right, lots of cables don't do what they say. And it isn't just Thunderbolt. It's HDMI, DisplayPort, USB3, etc. Lots of the HDMI 2.1 cables they tested can only do HDMI 2.0, for instance. Not an issue with Macs, but an issue for lots of Windows gaming rigs.

I haven't turned it into a standalone program yet, but I wanted a way to calculate praying the Orthodox Book of Hours according to a sundial instead of a normal clock, and I used excel to do it.

I found the formula for determining sunrise and sunset using latitude and longitude from NOAA's website. This allowed me to generate a sunrise/sunset table for my location by day.

I use VBA to update a clock every 10 seconds (I didn't need it to be more accurate than that) that feeds to a cell, and I use that to know when it is time for First Hour (sunrise), Third Hour (9 am, or 25% of the day), Sixth Hour (50% of the day), and Ninth Hour (75% of the day).

I have it all working and it runs in Excel on my work computer. My goal is to translate the logic into an app on my phone so that I can get notifications when it's time to pray. It's been a fun project, which included a side project of making a 9-LED display in Excel for the clock. I have a clock for normal world time, and a clock for sundial time.

It's been a fun project!
OPEC should be cashing in on the market. $100 per barrel is well above Saudi Arabia's $~70 or so per barrel needed to sustain their social programs.
I don't understand why people still use Java these days. It feels like Java has become Spring. (Mostly producing spring developers)

Alternative languages have branched off of the language and have succeeded with great buy in. (Clojure, Groovy [I think it's past it's heyday], Scala, Kotlin, etc]. However, java hasn't kept up. Yes, they copied a few nice things. However they're just surface level things. They're still encouraging people to write procedural code and worry about weird things that other frameworks take care of you. (Weird concurrency issues, DSLs, etc)

What I'm talking about:

- Pattern matching (this comes from scala) - They're slowly trying to give you something useful in a switch statement. It's no where near as expressive and extendable as what Scala gives you. (They went from int based, to string based, to some minor features for matching )

- Optional - this really hasn't been workable for those who are constructing functionality. It still feels like a procedural thing that is preventing you from writing if null, it doesn't avoid nesting in Java. In scala this is just apart of the flow of your code.

- Records- My understanding of the introduction of this is that it was a little different from POJOs and it broke external libraries. However, this is been a need since the days before Lombok. Additionally Groovy and Scala had this support.

- var.. ok nice you are now allowing for type inference.. but why not do var and val

A lot of these enhancements have been bandaids on the situation.. not full lets rethink some things and make them better

Not sure how familiar many here are on the difference in savings rates available in crypto stablecoins vs traditional banks.

My US FDIC savings account offers a measly interest rate of 0.03% APY right now. By contrast rates on crypto stablecoins are often 7-10% APY easily with some such as UST on a Terra offering an amazing 19.53% APY.

Yes the crypto stablecoins are riskier in some ways than USD and FDIC insurance is still the gold standard, at least up to their limit. On the other hand, there are now decentralized insurance protocols available on stablecoin yields which cover risks of a stablecoin or an unintended behavior in a smart contract for ~2% APY.

Everyone should do their own research of course, but crypto can be compelling in that at the very least it can allow your savings to preserve their purchasing power net of inflation, something that isn’t possible with a traditional bank savings account.

I'm curious, why would a nuke be less feasible?
100% agree. Society is stronger if we don't build structures as important as families on a foundation of lies.

Hell, I personally believe paternity testing should be damn near mandated and routine for every birth before the father is allowed to sign the birth certificate. It would make every family stronger by removing any possible doubt of fidelity and responsibility.
When people buy stock in any company, they don't consider only the current value of the company as if it were to be liquidated today: they also consider future earnings, which they hope will increase the future value of their shares.

The same logic applies when selling.

If a co-founder sells back their stake, why should the current value of the company be the sole basis for pricing the sale? As with any other stock, owning shares represents a claim on a portion of the value created by the company's future earnings.

If someone is going to sell that claim, they are entitled to take that into account. That's not rent-seeking; it's compensation for giving up a claim on future earnings.

Of course, all of this assumes that Elementary OS has a bright future ahead of it as a business which will increase its earnings and value, which seems unlikely. The founders seem to be arguing over a company that is worth less than a new Camry. But still!
Agree, the problem with if/else is that you end up having to consider the whole block plus usually a little context from just before it. I still find it much easier to read, unless very poorly written, while all ternaries slow me down every single time I read one, no matter how well-written. I struggle to parse them into ideas and words and to follow the order of events, seemingly no matter how many times I encounter them. They just feel wrong. All that implicit scoping crammed into one line, relying on memory and active searching to find the boundaries and then follow the order of events back "to the top", rather than having them explicitly marked.

Did the same for my previous apartment. I wrote a script scraping various “self-sale” sites (sales without real estate agents), the script would notify me when new apartments living up to my criteria was posted online.

When I got such a notification I would quickly check photos of the place etc. and then call the seller. The guy selling the place I ended buying, said it felt like I called him up instantly after he posted it online.
I agree - people need to be able to be called out when they are making bad decisions - especially w/regards to their health, and they especially should be called out by their health care providers - many doctors these days won't even broach the subject of a patient's weight, for fear of offending them - and I have seen patients file formal complaints against doctors when the doctor notes in their chart that the patient 'is obese'. It is right to tell them they are obese and it is right to encourage people to live healthier - how can you be a health care provider and not be allowed to call out people who are eating themselves to death?

Living is unhealthy. It’s universally fatal. In a free society we (should) retain autonomy over our bodies. This isn’t purely philosophical, it is practical. Who decides what is healthy? What if they are wrong?

How many eggs should I eat today to meet your personal definition of healthy living? And what do I do when it differs from someone else?
I think they often do, yes. But I feel like there's often a decision point there for the user. The thought "if I don't create an account, but need to come back later for something (status, returns, questions), can I still get what I need?"

Rownd would essentially eliminate that mental question entirely. You provided an email or phone, therefore you're more than just a guest.

It's bad science, but it's great shorthand for an HN comment. Otherwise you get into a quagmire of "how do you define quality games" and I didn't want to type out the text of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance in a comment thread.
Yeah, but "doesn't know about the % operator" is a lot less damning than "can only think of an exponential-time algorithm to determine if a number is even". Like, this is terrible, but it's linear time:

char s[32];
sprintf(s, "%d", n);
char c = s[strlen(s) - 1];
return c == '0' || c == '2' || c == '4' || c == '6' || c == '8';
I love that thought!

Expect more of this as users continue to move towards smart devices and wearables. The new censorship will increasingly redefine the past and present. Eventually you won't even know which questions to ask. There won't be a premise to start from.

As to the example you gave of the last two years, perhaps it is too soon to bring that one up? There may be some here who would suggest that the problem wasn't inherent to censorship, but that the narrative wasn't controlled effectively enough. I forecast the "dangerous misinformation" theme to increase.

Does anyone remember the days when hackers said, "Information wants to be free"? If so, is that memory part of the problem?

This entire comment just screams "it is how it is, until it isn't". Whether or not they decide to do it has nothing to do with anything you've said.

They're already stocking six Studio Display SKUs in-store (if they decide to stock them all in-store, that is). Two variations of glass finish times three variations of stands. Yes, that's right: "Each stand or mount adapter is built in. They are not interchangeable, so it’s important to consider your workspace needs at the time of purchase." They're not a separate component, and not even easily swappable outside the factory.

Their profit margins are fine. They can charge whatever they want for it, its not relevant because, clearly, if they were concerned about being price competitive with other displays they would not be charging $1600 for this one. Even the LG 5K Ultrafine is $400+ cheaper. In one comment you assert that Apple isn't interested in being a commodity monitor manufacturer, and in another you assert that the profit margins are low; so, which is it?
maybe it's more of a fairness issue. in theory, the proper way should be to have a single line that funnels to any available lane, so any newcomer would still have to join the same line and not get any advantage over someone who has been waiting.

Ranking comes from the value of your comment alone, it is not tied to any number others can tacitly agree to

However the feedback you get as a dopamine input is that you can see (and only you can) how many people agree with your sentiment.

However this is a broken metric ; I rarely upvote any story or comment... so there are toons of comments and posts that many people agree with / like but they simply, as do I, not click on the arrows irrespective....

I do click up when I appreciate something, but its rare...

Also, I do not know if this is still true ; one used to have a min of 400 positive comment karma before the downvote arrow was unlocked...

That comparison is slightly misleading because the German price includes the local VAT. Tax-free price (unless I'm mistaken) would be approximately 436 euros, so more than in the US, but not 150 dollars more.
IMO MS should focus on making tsc faster, browsers shouldn't have this added complexity for no benefit. This would also seem to encourage shipping extra non-functional code to users. If the only benefit is in development then that could just be served by sourcemaps.

I'm not even sure that's true. Knowing anything about viruses means you're better placed to try and use them as a weapon versus someone who does no research on them.

You can try and find specific counter examples, but I think the idea that most virus research, and scientific research in general, could likely be repurposed for bad or good, is probably pretty accurate in general.

Policing "bad" science while allowing "good" science is probably an impossible task.
It's been a long time since some of the congressional hearings about anti-competitive practices in the software industry, and I'm afraid I'm too tired to look up the details at the moment, but one of the items I remember from the discussion was that Amazon sales employees were allowed by company policy to look at aggregated figures (per-market, per-industry, etc) for merchants on their platform.

That's fine as-is -- nothing wrong with that in principle -- but what I seem to recall employees began doing (and I can totally imagine how this would become an underground "sneaky trick" that employees would begin to learn and share with each other) was to create so-called aggregate groups that only contained a very small number of merchant businesses.

That way they could claim (and perhaps keep a straight face when saying) that they were only looking at aggregate group-level figures, but the statistical reality of the situation would have been that they were looking at information about a few -- or perhaps even only one -- business.
I share your concerns. I created a dedicated-purpose Microsoft account by following Mojang's official migration link. The process went smoothly and I have not been asked for a phone number. I am using Fastmail with a custom domain and set up an alias. Everything works including the custom launcher. I completed the entire process on Linux.

I agree with other observations on this thread that individual accounts and phone number authentication would not be safe assumptions for many minecraft households. It will be difficult for Microsoft to tighten this process further.
Russia admits Conscripts fighting in Ukraine, despite Putin's previous Denials
Sort of a tangent but your parenthetical about streaming services is why, after roughly 10 years of “keeping my nose clean,” I’ve found myself slowly firing up my home server more and more frequently with “very legal and very cool” content I am slowly (but increasing in speed) acquiring.
I don’t mind paying for my content. I have several subscriptions. But the constant shuffles and searches for where i can watch anything is becoming a bigger and bigger obstacle. I’m going to pick the easiest route, not the cheapest one. Hell it’s why I don’t download music - I don’t love Spotify as a company, but damn they make it easy to listen to my music. If they were to fracture or 20 other competitors pop up and licensing starts getting all spread out/hard to follow, then you can bet music will be in line for me too.
