GCC targets more platforms than LLVM, that much is true. But beyond that, it's pretty common in the microcontroller world for a vendor to release their own specially patched version of GCC blessed for a given platform. They simply aren't doing that for the LLVM.

Those blessed GCCs aren't often seeing the hacks merged upstream.

Here's one such example:

I once took an Uber who didn't follow the directions of the app properly, missing some turns, resulting in unnecessary cycles. This resulted in the fare being higher than initially stated.

When I reported this to Uber, showing the trace in the map, they said the final price was still within the range stated (it was not), and nothing happened.
It’s not as complex as you’re choosing to make it. When someone tells you, “There’s free beer at Oktoberfest,” is your first thought that the beer has no monetary cost, or that the beer is unencumbered by particular legal restrictions?

Now someone tells you, “There’s free speech at Oktoberfest.” Is your first thought that there’s no monetary cost to expression, or that the expression is unencumbered by particular legal restrictions?

(Happily, Oktoberfest has both.)

Think of them as the _slightly_ longer "Free as in 'free beer' " and "Free as in 'free speech' ". When beer is described as “free,” it’s understood to be gratis. When speech is described as free, it’s understood to be libre. These are used as examples for more ambiguous situations, since software can be one, the other, both, or neither.

A foreign exchange is an exchange, ie there are two sides. Each starts with one thing and ends up with another. In your example American Bank A starts with $100 and ends up with £84, British Bank (or an intermediary) has to have someone who wants dollars (or is a Market Maker), that person will give their pounds and end up with the dollars.

Having two parties and two banks makes it a bit complicated. If you think of a guy behind a desk in an airport trading cash - you give him $100 and get £84, the guy behind the desk started with £84 and now has $100. (The next customer might pay £87 to get $100 - the desk makes a small profit and both customers have exchanged what they wanted)

The most important thing one can do to avoid looking old is to avoid the sun. Sun makes skin wrinkly: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trucker-accumulates-skin-damage.... Folks today generally spend less time in the sun than they did a few decades ago. The smoking also probably played a part in people making look old long ago.

I wonder whether the more physical lifestyles (farming, more manual labor, more physical housework) increasing testosterone levels played a part too in making folks look older/bigger.

> In this particular case the corporations in question - banks - would love to see the problem solved too. They don't want to make fraudulent loans in other people's names.

It is true that banks very much don't want to issue loans that turn out to be fraudulent.

But, they very much more strongly don't want any liability for ruining peoples credit for issuing those fraudulent loans. So they'll rather take the former than the latter. Shift the blame to the innocent person who has no way to prevent it.

TBH, I don't see what the big deal is. Give them the data and explain the thought process that went into making the estimate. And if you don't have any of that to give them, then I think they're justified in questioning the estimate.

If you don't like it, switch to regular releases, and tell them the feature will be in the next quarterly release.
Probably not the best idea to run this kind of business from the US
Yes, around 2000 they swapped the numbers. Most recent versions treat the Spy as 1 and Marshal as 10. Classic versions ranked the Marshal as 1 and Scouts as 9, with the Spy designated as S.
I provide an initial estimate. Very high level but enough to give them the idea.

If they want details I tell them I need to bill for the time and file it under project planning. Amazingly they are happy to pay for it and we are happy to do the paperwork they require.

If they say no they won’t pay then you make a judgment call on how important that client is to you. What I have found is if they nickel and dime you then your not providing value in their eyes. Move on to a higher value client.
This is honestly a great idea. None of my sites need or want non-US traffic. Why am I allowing it at all?
Free as in beer, as when one refers to 'free beer' it's one that you don't pay for. When one says 'free speech' it's one that allows you to do what you want.

I didn't say numbers were necessary, people can learn an awful lot of contortions to achieve things. I said more like: given two devices which let you know the time, one needs you to imagine a ring of natural numbers, identify which number the short hand just passed, and identify which number the long hand just passed and multiply it by five and then guesstimate how many 6-degree increments it has moved since then and add that on, then adjust for whether the short hand said "12" and it's night time or not; the other has the time written out and you can read it, the former is not the more practical one.

Given how much we read numbers in everyday life, we have more practise at reading numbers and it requires fewer steps. Analogue clock faces are only really used for time, we do that less often and it requires more work. How could it be quicker?
The way I see it, there are really two Blockbusters. One is an evil corporate behemoth, the other is the neighborhood video store that lives on in our memories. These guys aren't keeping Blockbuster running so much as they are keeping the nostalgic memory of it going.

TBH I'm a bit surprised no one has tried to buy the Blockbuster brand from Dish and restart the company. I feel like you could effectively run one much like a comic book store, there's always a niche that will patronize the business.
I ripped my entire DVD collection 15 years ago, and I just never watch any of it. If I want to watch one of the movies I just pay the $4 to 'rent' a 4k stream instead of suffering with DVD quality.
Absurd. It would effectively make personalized social media timelines illegal. This idea also doesn't make any logical sense, we all expect that a person or entity that posts illegal content is liable for posting it, foisting that legal burden on the website where it is posted is clearly the wrong thing to do (unless the site is soliciting the upload of illegal content or is refusing to remove illegal content, both of which is already illegal).

I think you're imagining some kind of high quality digital ownership contract system built on top of blockchains.

But the part that actually solves the problem is the digital ownership contract, and there is basically no benefit in this situation from using blockchains.

So "crypto" wouldn't be the solution.
This is great. We used to do this and offer to adjust later phases if needed. Rewards the customer for meeting their deliverables and being clear as well.

As a PM who has often had to take developer estimates to management meetings only to have them questioned, I've found a couple of things that work:

1. If there's something unintuitive to a non-technical person, call that up out front as a reason for the estimate. For example, if you're estimating how long it'll take to implement a popup, but there's some piece of information displayed in the popup that you need to get from some archaic system that is held together with tape and glue, you might come up with an estimate that seems very large to someone who thinks all you're doing is implementing a popup. When this happens, it's best to call it out up front when giving the estimate, as opposed to giving a big estimate and then giving the explanation only when questioned.

2. On a related note, give options. This works very well with toddlers (don't tell them they have to put on pajamas, ask them if they want to put on the red ones or the blue ones) but also often with PMs and management. In the prior example, instead of saying that it's going to take three weeks, say that it's going to take three weeks, but two weeks of that is because you have to pull this one piece of information from that archaic system. If we could go without displaying that piece of information, then the estimate is a week. If we could instead display this similar piece of information that's easier to get, then the estimate is a week and a half. When you do this, you come off as thoughtful and prepared, and you put the people you're talking to in a position where they feel like they've done something by making a choice.

People generally question estimates because of a lack of context, so when they do so, I really encourage you to think of it not as them not trusting you, but rather as them attempting to get the context they need to understand.

Some people do also question estimates because they feel like it's their job to haggle developers down (these people are annoying and do not represent most PMs). Number 2 above is a good way of dealing with this - it turns it from haggling into a negotiation over scope.
Good question! The WP article is very Wikipedia-ish, but not a bad intro to the issues. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief

I’m sure there are much longer/better discussions, and I don’t know where to find those aside from browsing the WP article references.

I generally like the ‘criticisms’ section. I agree with it and and don’t feel like the term suspension of disbelief adequately characterizes what’s going on. There are probably more useful analyses when it comes to understanding how to write stories. Personally I think it’s more about whether the story is 1) good and 2) plausible enough as a fantasy idea, in that order. If it’s not good, the threshold for incorrect physics goes down.

What the pandemic has shown as well: Where I live most teachers are still computer illiterates, who are barely able to make a voice/video conference with the kids. They have no idea how to teach online. I don't know how we got here, having teachers without basic computer skills, but here we are.

Another thing the pandemic has shown here is, that schools are mostly incapable of setting up infrastructure for learning online. Not only schools, but also states and the whole country. It all hinged on depending on Microsoft, whose tools were criticized for not being compliant with data protection rules. As a nation, we were so utterly incapable, that we were unable to provide appropriate online learning environments. We failed. Big time.

> Beer is normally neither monetarily free

TBH the main place I've seen the phrase "free beer" is a Simpson's joke: people stand in front of a sign saying "free beer", but after Homer drinks many cups, the sign is revealed in full to say "alcohol-free beer, $5/cup".

It's understood that beer normally costs money, so the setup of the joke is that "free beer" is understood without explanation as "beer without costing money".
Or setup Samba and get LDAP for free and can be managed with Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC)
Extremely straightforward, yes. What I don't think a lot of Americans get is just how utterly, terrifyingly destructive the wars of conquest that preceded the current era of peace were for Europe - especially the two world wars. Large chunks of entire generations killed, wounded and traumatized, whole citities levelled, regions rendered unfit for anything beyond farming. One of the major justifications for the European Union as an institution was to supposedly ensure that nothing like this would happen again. Now we have a brutal war of conquest right next to the EU's eastern border, and sabre-rattling about how some of its member states might be next. It's in the direct self-preservation interest of a lot of countries that Russia fails and fails hard.
> "Analog watches let you glance at the time more subtly while in a meeting."

... how?
> Do you feel the same for public figures who don't want to be covered by the media? If not, why?

They already do that. They generally have a PR dept., or work with PR consultants. They pick and choose who they want to be their heralds. Apple is notorious for ghosting publications that don't kiss their butts.

Go to any Web site for a public figure, band, movie, game, corporation, what-have-you, and you'll inevitably see a top-level link, labeled "Press," or "Media."

This is their controlled and vetted material that is designed specifically to be distributed far and wide, and the PR people will use that as the fodder they send out.

Reviews (real ones) are wonderful. There was a brief window of time, when they were trustworthy. Amazon reviews actually gave you accurate information, and my wife used Angie's List to find some outstanding contractors, for work on our house.

Now, the whole industry is in the shitter. I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this.

I can't seem to find real reviews for anything, these days. Even trusted review sites have been corrupted.

The corruption ranges from badley-speld mass junk "fillers," to focused, vile, anti-competitive attacks, or petty, personal attacks, like trolling (I had one jerk from this site that got upset at me, leave a 1-star, insulting, weird review on one of my iOS apps. It was so bad, that I think it got nuked by Apple. I think I'm the only one that can see it), to brought-and-paid-for, completely legal, reviews on well-known publications.

I like to use an example of noise-canceling headphones. The names will be redacted to protect the guilty, and keep them off my ass.

There's one brand that has absolutely miraculous active noise cancelling. Switching on ANC makes me feel as if I've gone deaf. The sound quality is also excellent. I'm not an audiophile, but audiophiles won't use any ANC headphones.

There's nothing else out there, that I have found comes close. I own a bunch of ANC headphones, and can attest to this.

Yet, they seldom come up as a top choice, in many reviews. Instead, another corporation, that has good headphones, but a much less effective ANC, keeps topping certain review sites. If I switch on that brand's ANC, I still hear plenty of background noise, and I don't think the sound quality is as good. I actually fell for one of those "These are the best" reviews on a site that I [used to] trust.

Sadly, I think that we are forced to go back to what we had before there were reviews on product pages, or on sites.

Caveat Emptor.
there kind of is nobody else.

One thing we've figured out about representative democracy is that name recognition amongst voters is critical. In fact, amongst floating voters, it may be the single most important factor. The well known figures in the Democratic party are either too divisive or too low wattage to stand a better chance than a Biden re-run.

If it comes down to Trump vs Biden Pt2, it might come down to who resists mental degradation best over next two years
I'm not quite sure how to phrase it, but I'd try to change the way you're talking about it. You're not negotiating the amount of time it'll take. You're discussing what it would mean for it to take shorter or longer.

For example: "if you want it done in 2 weeks instead of 2 months, we can get to X functionality while sacrificing Y." Or: "what would it mean for you if we were to get this done in 2 months instead of two weeks? How would it affect you?" Basically: try to get to more of the root of why they're questioning your estimates without putting on the table the notion that you can magically change the truth about how much time things will take.

As others have said, also express your degree of uncertainty. Try to leave your ego out of it and make sure you're not giving them some sort of subconscious ammo that you're hiding something or being manipulative.

> To me this is insanely disrespectful of the team, and it seems as though it's a boundary violation on some level.

You're right, but if their deep belief is that your team just isn't adequate, you need to force them to bring it up. Yes, it will be insulting to find this out, but people tend to dance around these things with euphemisms and coded language, and one of the best things you can do is get it out in the open.

I opened that link and skimmed it. There is a whole thread of people there who can’t get their reading position synced using Calibre.

> And if you have thousands of books and multiple devices, keeping track of what's on each device and which format is best for the device gets messy.

I don’t see a reason to track that, and think you are inventing a use case where there isn’t any. People are obsessive, though, and will spend countless hours tracking things for no benefit when given a tool to do so.

Calibre comes from a period in the '00s where people did a lot of this sort of metadata tracking and cataloguing. There used to be a whole class of applications to track your physical library (with barcode scanning &c; I remember Delicious Library), physical CDs, … All are now dead. Music collection managers are barely alive.

There is very little point in maintaining a “collection” of digital stuff you did not create and do not plan to use. Your beach reading is not it.

There are very useful parts of Calibre — formats, device profiles, the plugin ecosystem. Sadly, it is not particularly modular in terms of workflows (which is the underlying cause of this whole discussion), yet has become a standard platform for all community efforts into deDRM &c.
