There's a role for truly domain-expert tutors (who deeply understand the material, not "expert at teaching"), but who will pay the correct price to lure them from every other profession? It doesn't scale because necessarily personalized (to address the subtle misunderstandings particular to this student)... so probably isn't the best use of the tutor.
The D compiler has a full C compiler in it for parsing headers.

The compiler also does the ABIs for several targets, even more if you include the LLVM and GCC backends.

C is a shit old language but we have basically tamed it.
> endless printing of money in the last few years

This didn't happen in a vacuum, though. It was simultaneous (and, obviously, co-causal) with a very rapid economic contraction and a subsequent supply shock across a ton of industries. Any analysis of this situation that starts end ends with "the government printed money" is, IMHO, basically pushing an agenda.

What actually happened is that the device under control (the economy) had an excursion (picture a car blowing a tire and veering) and the government corrected rapidly (prevented it from entering another travel lane, say), but it was something of an overcorrection (the car ran off the shoulder).

Should we have "printed less money"? Probably yes, in hindsight. Was the alternative worse? Of course it was; we were looking at a huge jump in poverty. Was anyone unaware of the inflation risk? No, not really. Was anyone dead-on correct about the right amount of stimulus? Not that I can see.

We'll be fine.

> but more that literally every single interface to literally anything is either written in C, or isn't meant to be used by multiple languages. C is the de facto standard for interacting with anything not written in your language.

Even that is not the real complaint, since the alternative to this (N different FFI-style APIs) is madness.

The heart of the complaint is "great, we have effectively a single interface to almost everything, which is probably a good idea, except that the interface sucks".
I didn't say anything about causation vs correlation, just that the RAE is well studied. It's in essence a large amount of research on the correlation of the relative age of people that all participate in the same activities around the same dates (unsurprisingly, younger ages correlated with worse outcomes in many cases). The athletics research is interesting because of how far back the data goes, which does actually control for astrological effects as things like season start dates and school year schedules haven't been set in stone.

I think you're inferring a bias against pseudoscience, which is good because the core of learning more about our universe is skepticism and finding empirical evidence to confirm belief. I don't believe you can find any such evidence for astrology that doesn't have a far simpler and compelling explanation, thus it would be extremely difficult to convince anyone that astrology "works."

Construct a hypothesis that's testable and conduct an experiment, either directly or through the collection of evidence. Then analyze and contrast against other explanations to draw conclusions. That's what it comes down to. It doesn't sound like you have done that.
"Federal reserve rate" is not my term. My parent comment coined it and defined it as "the interaste (sic) rate paid to banks every day for their deposits with the FED", which is the IORB.

I appreciate the thorough and accurate response you gave (and which I learned from). The distinction I've been trying to make is that the Fed has no mechanism to enforce the rate banks offer to each other or to consumers -- as in, there's no legal enforcement anywhere. Instead, they have various levers that predictably cause rational actors to voluntarily change their own rates. Maybe this has always been obvious to you, but it wasn't to me at some point.

If you still feel this is "blatantly incorrect information," I'm certainly open to learning more.

"I'm sorry, but it doesn't read like that for me. If it were really getting at the idea of there being underlying issues then I would expect there to be investigation of them to further support that point."

Umm... the point of the article is about "the surface debate is just a bunchy of partisan finger pointing and strawmanning (especially for the point of politicians getting their comments on the news), which covers up the real debate about underlying policy", then the "problem" would be an investigation of the surface debate, which is what you see here.

One can erect a hundred strawmen with a fraction of the resources needed to identify and isolate, let alone communicate the complexity of the underlying issues. Heck, just demonstrating the lack of evidence supporting a strawman requires far more resources.

I would argue demanding a detailed investigation about the underlying issues in order to dismiss the partisan finger pointing and strawmanning is a really good way to ensure that the debate is dominated by partisan finger pointing and strawmanning. If you're wondering why the discourse is shaped this way, you're demonstrating the cause.

It should be enough to say, "You're right about something here. There is an increase in the murder rate, but it's broad national phenomenon whose underlying cause is not understood; your claims don't even fit the shape of the problem, let alone have credible supporting evidence about an underlying cause". That should be enough for the the narrative to be dismissed.

Unfortunately, it's not; thanks to confirmation bias people are much more likely to accept claims with weak or even no evidence that align with their expectations, and will insist on a far higher standard of evidence for anything that doesn't align with their expectations, even if it is simply pointing out that their expectations aren't well supported.
I favour analysts that say that as long as NATO is not involved via no-fly zones or worse, things will not head towards WW III. I posted a link to a reasonable discussion on youtube in a different thread that made sense to me. The trick is to find an endgame but that requires people willing to use such a thing.
> C is the de facto standard for interacting with anything not written in your language.

Not necessarily. C is how your language interacts with the OS if you use the OS's C library. But not all languages do. Go doesn't.

The only thing you have to do to interact with the OS is make system calls. You can do that without going through the C library. It might be a PITA to do it if you're not working on Go for Google, but if that's the real problem, that's what the author of this article should have complained about. (It's actually less of a PITA on Linux because the syscall interface is implemented using software interrupts. Windows is more of a PITA because the OS goes out of its way to make its syscall interface look like a C interface.)

I don't see the author addressing most obvious criticism. There is no definition of genius. He mentions a lack of ideas, but doesn't talk about the effect that every field is much more specialized. You won't make advances in physics on the level of Newton or Kelvin. "The basics are covered" (with all the caveats that apply to this statement). He also ignores the pure genius that went into developing computing and the internet. Or the breakthrough that made our flat screens today possible that display digital information to us in the first place, like the invention of blue LEDs as a major scientific/engineering breakthrough. There are countless examples with an immense global impact, but the names of the inventors are barely known outside of their field.

The more specialized we get the less likely everyone will learn about it in general education and thus the inventor/genius will be less renowned. That doesn't make it less of a breakthrough or less genius. The article doesn't address this at all.

Further, there are many counter examples of genius that wasn't privately/aristocraticly tutored like Richard Feynman. For his point to stand there must be more privately tutored geniuses than non-privately tutored geniuses and today less intensive private tutoring. He doesn't have data for either of these prerequisites.

I found the whole article and reasoning quite lacking right from the premise.
Why is having a different API other than window.alert() a better alternative, though? That just makes it confusing in a different way; that you have to know to use different APIs depending on whether you're targeting the browser or server.

You should think of C as a front-end for the computing platform you are targeting. The platform has an ABI, which you need to use to interact with the system components. So because every third-party has to speak that ABI to interface with the platform, they might as well use that ABI to interface with each other too. You can of course build your own little world within a platform, with all your binaries speaking a different ABI to each other. And that might have some advantages, but most people find those advantages outweighed by just using the same ABI as the platform.

Stop worrying.
Your thought experiment involves people working for free: being paid with money they can't actually use because they're isolated from the rest of the economy and can't spend that money. Nobody would agree to this. In practice, the people receiving the printed money would not be isolated from the rest of the economy and would be purchasing goods and services with their subsidies and driving up the prices of those products.

You're right that if spending printed money created gains in production to match the increase in money supply it wouldn't result in inflation. That's correct, but I seriously doubt that this is how MMT would work out in practice. Most MMT evangelists aren't trying to get a favorable return on investment. They're looking to fund massive social spending programs like UBI, government healthcare, or decarbonization of energy production.

To be clear, some of these are important projects but we shouldn't kid ourselves into thinking that printing trillions of dollars to pay for them isn't going to affect inflation. They're worth paying for because of the benefits they bring and disasters they avert, not because they're going to produce a return on investment.
Theories that are dismissed by the vast majority of the mainstream experts are often simple, yes.

It turns out that the real world is complicated, and thats why we have experts in the world.
That's a poor analogy. An ice cream parlor offers free icecream purely to market thier product and drive business. An OSS dev gets nothing.
Ya, maybe. But it's easier to develop bug free code on C#. Speed has its advantages but it's not the only criteria used to decide what language to use.
We aren't debating ownership between two people. The lie is that there is no computer in existence that can produce work "without any creative input or intervention from a human author". Until the day a machine spontaneously becomes self aware and decides to draw something, this policy is a non-issue.
What you're complaining about, as has been pointed out by several people elsewhere, is that actual real world platforms have different C ABIs. This isn't C's problem, it is a problem that C exposes.

The C language doesn't define system calls. It doesn't define a lot of things that were either (a) created in C and presented via a C ABI (b) created in something even less universal and presented via a C ABI. Both (a) and (b) were done by people and projects who are not the C language and do not control the C language.
Not me. But when I read this:

"Figuring out how to feed the world or cure it of climate change will require discoveries or optimization of molecules that simply can’t be done by today’s classical computers, and that’s where the quantum machine kicks in"

Tried out Nova once again today after a long break since version 1. I’m a web developer who primarily uses TypeScript and I’m unfortunately still pretty disappointed about Nova. Things like autocompletion and file browsing are significantly slower and more tedious than in VS Code and I can only cover about 50% of the features and extensions I use on a daily basis (e.g. there seems to be no way to find all instances/usages of a function aside from a plain text search).

I’d love for Nova to happen because competition is important and it’d be great to have more native alternatives but in its current state I can’t recommend Nova to anyone yet.

Given that most people aren't worried about Covid at all, I guess they are more worried about WW III? Unless they're not worried about that one, either? Both of these situations were helped or hurt by the competence and activities of politicians. So, hope for good ones...
> C++ compiler generates the code the programmer asked it to generate

Many C++ programmers would be much happier if this was true. Undefined behavior ends up turning this into "C++ compiler generates the most efficient thing that may or may not correlate with what you intended"

My comment was a rearranging of the first paragraph of the GP.
To be very clear, I feel souring on someone because of their beliefs is a form of closed-mindedness.

I’m not sure how a productive discussion can happen when both sides pre-judge each other. Skepticism itself is a charged term. /r/ReligionSkepticism and /r/AtheismSkepticism already self-select for audiences - one segment is clearly defending, and another is attacking. A more neutral phrasing would be /r/ReligionChangeMyView. I initially wrote this without opening up the GP's link, but I encourage you to check it out to see if this tracks.

To your point about religion, I’m atheist but have a few very religious friends. Them being religious didn’t sour me on them when we first met, though I’ll likely always disagree with them on that point.

Results are non-linear. A 10x-er will produce results that 10 1x-ers can't. It's only "better" in the sense it's more "fair", not that it produces better results.
No idea why this is being downvoted.
Most of the problems exposed here aren't C related, but OS or architecture related. An ABI where function parameters are passed over A, B, and C registers and the return value is stored in the Z register have nothing to do with any language.
If the federal US government is borrowing in a currency they control, I do not see why US leaders would choose to go bankrupt over simply issuing new money to meet debt obligations?

And Social Security and other government benefits/services are continuously cut, at least where I live as far as I am concerned since they never keep up with price increases for the things I buy.
Wait, am I missing something here?

The ONLY way for any government to escape their massive debt is inflation. The US is no different from other countries that used the pandemic as an excuse to prop all kind of businesses.

This is no different that real estate. If you have bought property at a fixed rate, then high inflation (= higher salaries) will make your loan look smaller year after year.

Of course the collateral damage is a weaker US$. But what is the alternative to the US$? Crypto? Yuan (see the recent move of the oil producing countries to accept non US $ payments).

The US knows that there is NO alternative to the US $, hence their reckless borrowing strategy (= issue more Treasuries).

But wait! Isn't what the HN is used to hear? "There is no alternative to the dominant position of Microsoft Explorer, Blackberry or anything else. Until THERE IS a replacement and a newcomer replaces the incumbant.

I am really worried over the long term about the so-called invicible US $ as a store of value.

Its childish. Striking out maliciously at random web developers surrounded by state propaganda is counter-productive. This just annoys them and feeds the narrative that they're under attack by the West who hates them.

I would imagine web developers over there, being more educated, technical, and exposed to the West, would be the ones less likely to support the war.

There's nothing subtle about wiping files, why not provide news and information that's being blocked? This could have been an information bridge that would be hard to censor. Hell, run a crypto miner on their machine and donate to Ukraine if you're trying help, that'll have more of an impact then wiping some poor dev's files.
I mean, a C interface is better than a machine code interface. The problem with that is that, unless you include a C compiler (or at least a thing that understands the 176 C ABIs) with your language, you can't use it. (not that machine code would be better at that, but I'm sure that if people actually intentionally attempted to make a global cross-platform ABI, they'd easily make something much better than C)

If you decouple you build from your packaging you can also use from-scratch containers. You can also use distroless' static image [0] to get a posix-y environment with as little space as possible. Total image size of the static image is ~2.4mb and it comes with a `nonroot` user configured to lock down your perms and packages like ca-certs that are often forgotten.

You can make use of this with multistage builds or with build systems like Bazel and Please.build.

> A 2012 review found that being raised in at least two cultures leads, on average, to greater psychological and emotional well-being and higher social competence in adulthood

I don't know, there are two sides to every coin: it sucks on many levels to be an outsider. Maybe it's the wrong question to ask about 'happiness', it may well be that one is achieving less as an outsider, on average, but that one is assigning more value to the achievements, as one may have had to work harder compared to the insiders in order to get to where you are... (speaking as a TCK - third-culture kid; never heard of this term before)

Still, I very much value the added perspective granted by having been exposed to a different set of cultures, it's a very precious thing to me.

Also there may just be some element of Survivorship bias in this kind of observation.
There is this kind of logic: 'what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger', still some don't manage to cope, unfortunately.
