I’ve wondered the same thing. My impression is that digitizing efforts have outpaced the creation of curated bibliographies.

But the University of Pennsylvania’s Online Books Page is a major contribution:

The Internet Archive’s Open Library has user-created lists:

This is the correct answer. If you are really doing what the article says (allocating all memory at compile time), why is malloc() being linked in at all?

The Unexpected Importance of the Trailing Slash
> Certain ideas are made more difficult to express

Which ones? Describe a few. Try not to embarrass yourself by either picking something for which someone could actually find a tweet embodying the idea, or by demonstrating that what you're talking about is actually not, in fact, so much an idea.

> by a defacto authority

Twitter is not an authority. It's one of many fora.

> That's censorship, by definition.

Nope. By definition, censorship describes activity by the state. You might productively stretch the definition to any other entity that can use physical force in the same manor a censorous state does to selectively deprive people of liberty or health on the basis of speech opposed by said entity, but that's it.

> Hence my original choice of the word "soft".

ie, indicating that in actual fact, no speech has actually been suppressed at all.

> Honestly it sounds like you're upset that someone noticed the suppression of right leaning opinions

"Noticed," heh. Like, with some kind of evidence? Not anecdotal, analytical? Systemic suppression of right wing opinions?

Can you describe which right wing opinions are being suppressed -- apparently to the point where I haven't even heard these opinions?

> I don't think you even realize how disingenuous you're being if that's the case.

Speaking of disingenuous, like I said above, please send me your address. Or tell me why I shouldn't be able to compel you to carry posters/signs I'd like to see displayed on your property.

- PR - handling traditional and perhaps social media channels like TV, journals, magazines etc answer press questions, arrange interviews , make sure journalists covering them have access, in smaller orgs get journalist to cover them.

- media planning - figures out where to place advertisements and when and may handle also the buy operations . Digital is in-house in large orgs, but for traditional media like print it is external[1]

- creative agencies usually external and produce advertising content like Super Bowl ads to boring flyers

- Marcom - Marketing communications usually is responsible for Corporate communication and content that is not advertising stuff like this video.

- few other like lobbying ,crisis control etc may work in the same group or work with legal or other depts

Tesla seems to have other three depts in some form, they did say they fire PR team and stopped engaging with traditional press

——-

[1] this still requires relationship building unlike digital as there is no targeting , limited inches airtime available and getting the slots you want can be tricky everyone wants best prime time /first page etc for their campaigns, it is not always top price sale. As slots are sold in complex packages clubbed with less attractive media properties that don’t sell as well with the attractive ones you do want to buy .

This is why we have media groups they are more efficient, as they can better monetize properties by clubbing them in sales and are able to acquire independent publications/channels to make more money than they were making on their own.
It could be one input used to correct/fine-tune awareness, but I'd be surprised if it's a primary one.

I haven't made a course, but I have bought several courses that are managed through Teachable.

I'm happy with it, it feels nicer to use than Udemy, Coursera and the like, and I have the course providers "under one roof".

No idea how the experience on the other side — for the teacher — is, but I'm really content with it.

Of course I download and save all videos locally, just in case. No idea if it's possible with all Teachable courses, but so far I haven't seen one that doesn't allow it (and makes it easy: the links are provided on the course page, you don't have to use youtube-dl or so).

I don’t think there’s any reason to be worried about a “bloated” library if you understand the components of that library. I’ve used Newlib in embedded projects without malloc and it’s fine. It’s easier and faster to check what parts of Newlib you are pulling in than to try and reimplement it on your own.

It’s a trap that people fall into to think that it’s easy to roll your own. It depends on what, exactly, you are rolling, what resources you have, etc. Maybe I need a couple math functions, a decent implementation of memset/memcpy/etc, and having the C library at my disposal gives me those things.

The idea that you throw out Newlib just because one function pulled in malloc seems unjustifiable to me.

On the other hand, I think it’s quite normal to want your own PRNG.
Completely off-topic, but your comment reminded me of the "For Dummies" books; I spotted a copy of "Wine For Dummies" in the mid-90s and was briefly excited that the software was mainstream enough to warrant it.
"Block" in this context means a pair of user doing the blocking and the user being blocked. In this context the number does not seem impressive.
xcode is so busted and so are all their apis and documentation. I don't know how people are arguing with you.

From my vast expertise (sarcasm) from watching Kpop, Korean variety shows, and Korean movies, the whole age thing is pretty rampant and adhered to, at least from those lenses. I mean, they have literal discussions while shooting regarding asking direct ages in order to speak "familiar" or not. It is pretty weird and arbitrary, especially with the way Koreans measure age.

This kind of thinking comes from a scarcity mindset that is overly concerned with efficiency, when we already have record-breaking efficiency in many domains compared to only 5 or 10 years ago. What was the point of those efficiency gains and engineering efforts and research expenditures, if we can’t even use the toys we made with the cool tech we invented? What’s the point of doing better if we’re shamed for the enterprise itself, after outdoing ourselves?
Exactly this, and then all those hyper specific pieces of Linux software would get picked between distros and eventually became common, and well, that's history. I got into Linux after it had beaten out BSD for popularity, but having ran into the BSD versions of some utils on macOS, yeah, the GNU variants are far superior in almost every regard. Darwin's variant of dd still doesn't even accept the status=progress flag(or any equivalent), for instance.
>P.S. I wonder, what is a simple use-case for a language like STOICAL?

Forth can, in theory, do anything Lisp can do... except it can't in practice. A big part of that this the ability to manipulate trees and strings as native objects. STOICAL solves that issue, and thus should make it possible to build almost anything. I want to explore that idea, but first I have to get this thing running.

As for the archaic vocabulary, once I can get it compiled, and grok the structure of it, I can change those words around and use anything. It becomes a matter of personal preference.
You say common context, I say monoculture. Bring on the diversity!

I really resonated and agree with everything you've said. Thanks for sharing :) I really enjoyed reading all this, I think we'd make good friends (or twins lol).

I've had some similar issues as what you've described. Feel free to take a look at my other (more personal) submissions if you're interested.

That’s a much more nuanced way of putting it, I agree completely.

RIP Bill. Less rememebered is that he founded Symmetric Computer Systems which made one of the first "personal" ($4000 instead of well into 5 figures). It used a National 32032 processor (competitor to 68000 and was better, but no one remembers it now) and ran 4.2bsd. Its tagline was "The Beauty and the BSD" and I just found an old ad for it. Sympathies to Lynne.

I really like thunderbird, and I used it for a long time, but now I am using mutt.

I realized that I was spending a lot of time in the terminal anyway (using vim as my daily driver) and it did fit me.

What I really like, is that you can script everything, create macro... It is hard to setup (too me like a week to tweak), but now I can do everything a lot faster with less overhead that what I did with thunderbird.

I still recommend thunderbird for less tech savvy users and I hope it will have a bright future.
Oh, that’s an interesting observation I’ve never realized until you pointed it out. I’ve always been the target of mosquitos more than anyone else I know, but it seems to get worse the fitter I am. Now that I’m a bit pudgy and out of shape, I haven’t had anywhere near as many bites.

But, to be fair for me being fit and being in the regions where mosquitos exist en masse is a related phenomenon. Out of shape me spends less time on trails than fit me.

yeah, JWT's are a nice standard way of doing that, but it's functionally not really different than the HTTPS + Session + Nonce pattern that's been in use for about 10 years now, and, provided you pick a secure function to make the hash for the nonce, the nonce may be more secure since it rotates with each payload and the JWT's encryption lasts for its lifetime.
Unfortunately, as a German, this does not surprise me in the least.

The article should have also mentioned that Reinhard Gehlen, the head of “Organisation Gehlen” - the precursor of today’s German intelligence service - was the former head of the Nazi German military intelligence in the Eastern Front during World War II [1]. Adenauer was well aware of this.

There seems to be a pattern here, just look up details on Hans-Georg Maaßen, [2] who was dismissed from his post as head of the BND as recently as 2018 because he denied that a foreigner was hunted by a right wing mob at a demo in Chemnitz, Germany (and many other controversies).

You might also want to look up the involvement of former Nazi judges, Kiesinger and Filbinger, in German post-WW2 politics. All of these were/are members of Adenauer’s CDU party.

That is more or less how it works. You will notice that Son Jong-woo was not extradited to the USA. The US government presented its case to Korea (via Korean attorneys hired for the purpose, I suppose), claiming that, according to the treaty, Son Jong-woo should be extradited, and the Korean court demurred.

See also the Assange case in Britain: "Julian Assange, the 50-year-old founder of Wikileaks, is a step closer to being extradited from Britain to the United States after the U.S. government won an appeal in London's High Court." [my emphasis.]

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/10/us-wins-appeal-over-extradit...

Extradition treaties are supposed to be the law in both countries, and country B is nominally under no obligation to accept terms in a treaty that are counter to its own principles. Asymmetric power and corruption mean that this is not always the case, of course...
I think its too early to declare it a fad. It hasn’t been around long enough en masse to know whether that’ll be the norm, or disappear yet. We’ll know in a year or two.

It's also wrong. The worst problem isn't with Reddit, it's with sites like the one reported in the article. These are exactly like the "under censored ones [sites]" you advocate for above. They don't lose users - they gain the types of users who want that kind of material.

Max, you should personally read some of your negative NPS feedback after service interactions to get a better understanding of what is going wrong in your business.

Ignoring the details, COVID's death rate in the US is about 1.17% (20K deaths, 1.7M infections), and let's say that on average 10% of infections require hospitalizations. You could still say that for the vast majority of people (~90%) it's like a bad cold, so your comment makes sense, but my thinking was focused on the risk/reward aspects.

To simplify all of this, if covid didn't exist, and you somehow found out that by going out of the house you have a 1.17% chance of dying, but if you stay inside, that chance is 0.002% (average chance of dying on any given day in US), would you still go outside or would you stay inside?

That 1.17% is a 585x increase over the usual 0.002%, and when I thought about how large that increase is, for me, it was very clearly not worth the risk.
Not necessarily. It's possible to listen for file updates and respond accordingly on the fly by re-reading the file and updating all your offsets and mmaps. It doesn't even have to be efficient; it's not a common case.
This, approximately, is where the breakdown into bullshit occurred.

Biology is a thing. Transgender activists try to do two things at the same time, and the mental gymnastics they have to go through to maintain the bifurcation/cognitive dissonance has to be massive:

1. They claim that sex (male/female or man/woman) and gender (masculine/feminine) are two different things
2. They immediately conflate sex and gender, such that “gay men” (homosexuals) are now “same-gender loving”
3. They abuse you gratuitously if you argue about these concepts

I’ve had some pretty long talks with a friend in the field of social work, and (personally) come to a nuanced understanding of “transgender issues” where the short truth is that the large majority of people claiming to be transgendered are suffering from a mental illness.

In the end, I don’t think alleged “gender roles” do a lot of good/matter; they’re cultural, and when it comes to things like wearing clothes (skirts, kilts, skinny jeans, cargo pants, v-neck t-shirts, or tank tops)… who cares? Same for makeup, nail polish, piercings like earrings or whatever-those are all just “how you express you”.

Claim that a gay guy needs to consider a transgender man a potential partner, though, and you have a problem. A trans man is a trans man-a statement that, being a tautology, it’s insane the amount of vitriol you can get directed at you. Not a man. We don’t have “pregnant people”; only women can be “pregnant”.

Oh well. In the end, however this comment goes, I feel I’ve followed HN’s policy of “I clarified some things”, even if some people try to claim that things are not what they are.

A perfect geometric surface of a sphere that is expanding has no center, but a balloon has a center. That's obviously the nozzle. The analogy breaks down in both places.

But who knows? Maybe the analogy is correct. I don't think we can say. In fact I would even wager that a "center" is more likely... because can you even imagine a real world analogy where something expanding has no center?

If you can't then there probably is some sort of center.

I think if patents worked like that, there'd be a thriving market for patents on emerging technologies. VCs would fund research groups to do basic science, and their deliverables would be successful experiments and prototypes, turned into patents.

Instead, patents are used defensively, for obvious things and rent-seeking. Why is that?

I'm not sure, but I can imagine a combination of:

* You don't have to prove your invention works.

* Patents can be vague and broad, and the non-obviousness bar is depressingly low. Low effort patents have more power than real advances.

* It's hard to enforce patents on in-house processes and systems.

* Workarounds can be found after you've done the hard work.

* Basic research (e.g. algorithms) can't be patented, and basic research is the hardest part.

We really do need a system that makes basic research with high eventual impact profitable. Brilliant scientists are getting paid peanuts.
