bstring [1] is one example of library implementing this sort of higher-level string library. I've used it in some embedded projects.

The Linux kernel has data structure libraries for things like linked lists and maps. Does it really not have a higher-level string abstraction?

A good chunk of the roughly ~2100 Kanji have two versions of expression. Some of them have upto 8-10 ways of usage (although very few). As a Japanese resident,

(1) It isn't fun. Not everyone of us knows the whole set and have to keep a digital dictionary in smartphone

(2) We don't assume the names of people based on their Kanji, because (surpise!) people do get offended by minor changes in pronunciation e.g Yamasaki vs. Yamazaki, with similar Kanjis.

That's why I always prefer to inscribe my Japanese notes with Kana in a superscript wherever needed. It is very tight in grammar but the language is not easy by any means. In fact, same goes for Chinese & Koreans.

This is one of the most respected engineers in the industry, he built chips for Intel, Amd64 and even Tesla chips. He talks about how there are lots of innovations at different places in cpu stack that keep giving performance gains. Even stuff like prediction of what future code will run, and run multiple copies in parrellel and only use the result of the computation that’s needed .

> It's so funny to read all this. In college, we were always told, "don't use strcpy! Use strncpy instead!" just to find out later on that strncpy isn't that great either.

TBF that was definitely incorrect, as strncpy was never intended to work with C strings. Most (though not all, that would be too easy) of the n functions work with fixed-size strings. The behaviour of strncpy makes perfect sense then.
Too much software development is getting divvied into different product development groups, and collectively it leads to the creation of flows through the product that make literally no sense, yet all of the smaller parts are seemingly fine, because nobody is the thinking of macro-level experience.

Believe it or not, PayPal has finally set up security keys and authenticator apps as a 2FA. This must have been recent. I remember trying to do this a year or two ago, after someone cracked my LinkedIn password (but not the 2FA), and 2FA was not available on PayPal at the time.
The solution comes from Sir Francis Bacon who said:

“Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.”

I wrote myself that it is opt-in, and several times, don't make it sound like I'm screaming to avoid KDE or saying something that isn't true. The packages are not easily removed, and this is not reasonable or justifiable.

Why must it be there even if it will be off ? If I don't use or want something in Linux, and the system does not depend on it, it's usually a matter of seconds to remove it. Why is Plasma ( or Kate etc ) depending on telemetry to be there, even if not used ?

Regardless of being open source and auditable this is not a good policy.
Not all programs in every language / implementations have a 'memory image' in RAM or virtual memory. There may also be different types of data. What they usually don't do is to dump and restart those memory regions, like a heap of code and data in something like many Lisp system. Notable exceptions are virtual machines for running operating systems or operating systems with sleep modes, where the whole running OS can be saved to external storage and be restarted.

Some Lisp system don't use images of the heap memory to save and restore programs - examples are some Lisp systems who use external C compilers to compile code to native code and Lisps who run on other software platforms which don't support image (like the JVM).

The other (mostly independent) dimension is that most Lisp systems/program still include development tools like: a read eval print loop, a debugger, a compiler, a code loader (a tool which can load source or compiled code into a running Lisp), possibly more IDE features, debug information, parts of the source code, ...

Many other language implementations have that (or a subset), too: Python, Ruby, ... though often the preferred development style is not to incrementally develop from a long running application which includes the development tools and/or which could talk to an external IDE.

The lifetime of a Lisp program and its IDE can be extended (to weeks/months/years) when it is saved and possibly restarted - thus the *need* to provide tools to integrate program changes increases and this leads to more ways how to update the running program. The Lisp and its program might not be built from scratch for a long time (weeks/months upto years).

If we had only a Lisp system like ABCL on the JVM (which can't save / load memory images, because of the missing support in many (all?) JVMs), there would be less need for incrementally developing with running development system, because there is no way to save the running system to disk -> most programs would often be built from scratch and the program would be started from loading code&data in some way. Features of incremental development might still be there, but not the bigger picture (sic!).

So I would still say that the way a program is developed and built has some influence how dynamic the program will be at runtime and vice versa.

See you're utterly and completely wrong. What may make you laugh is he basically teamed up with you, saying "it's not that hard". It's subtle jerkdom going on here from the both of you. But I mean who the hell cares?

Dang didn't lie or do anything wrong. He's just subtly acting like an asshole, like what you did, which is arguably worse then what I did.... Either way none of that stuff is a bannable offense imo. But according to Dang, if it happens enough times... it is.... just as long as you're not on his team.
You could add real strings and arrays to C and kill POSIX and you'd have two fewer problems.

> You can use strncpy if you are careful to do it right

That’s like saying if you’re careful to do it right you can use a Bowie knife as a screwdriver.

Technically correct but practically will end in tears. If you’re not working with fixed-size strings (which few are these days) just copy over strscpy, or strlcpy, 5 lines won’t kill you.

The first review on the Microsoft Store should be featured on the home page:

"Found this during a search for the word "clip." The app's description is dishonest, to say the least. This is not an app. It's a wrapper for an unidentified website. As soon as I opened the "app", it asked for personally identifiable information. The wrapper makes impossible to verify the site's digital certificate. It was suspicious, to say the least. The description says it is a Microsoft product, but don't fall for it. In the past, malicious apps under false identity has slipped into the Store. Either it is not a Microsoft app or Microsoft has fallen shockingly low."
Sounds like Gitcoin is what you want then, it's like bounty source but completely open source itself and promoting open source software.

IIRC, the suburb developers in the 1950’s achieved economies of scale. They could come in and build a bunch of houses with the same basic pattern/paint/yard etc.

Of course, the downside was that all the houses looked very similar.
I don't know that it's any bleaker than being an actor, musician, athlete, or any other type of entertainer. It perhaps involves more skills since they might their own sets, photography, cosmetics, scripts, etc plus I think it's easier to achieve a little success compared to trying to make it into the movies.

The past week I've received two invoices for "bitcoin" in my rarely used paypal account. More deviously, the notes for the invoice contain the phone number to a fake paypal support center run by the scammers. So if you were savvy enough not to pay the invoice they might still steal your info when you call to dispute.

There's no way to report it through their website, because it's not a completed transaction. I didn't feel like waiting on hold so I sent a chat message and forwarded the email to phishing@paypal. One invoice still remains in my activity but says "no longer available" when I click on actions.

Already had me more paranoid about their security and now this comes out. My account still seems to be password + SMS thankfully.

EDIT- I didn't know you could even set up TOTP. Last time I used paypal SMS was the only option for 2FA.

I think a key point that people fail to remember or marketing just oversells, is that there is no silver bullet for all the problems, especially for an industry that has so much history, precedent and inertia. People want to try and solve (and from the other side, want perfect full solutions) all problems at once, whilst in reality small improvements in key areas are probably the 80/20 that is needed to bring business value. I think continuous feedback and good "translators" would be key for any product in those industries. Manufacturing people are busy and will tell you what the surface level pain point is, but they don't have the time or maybe don't have the idea fully thought out on what the underlying problem/goal is.

After typing up all that, I realise that most of this is applicable to every industry.

I don’t usually call people out for moving the goalposts, but when it comes to string copying routines I get real cranky about it. Stop moving the goalposts. You want a string copying routine. Most suck. This is the good one. Or at least, it’s one in the family of good ones. You have a C-style string, you want it copied elsewhere, you want it to be mindful of the bounds you give it, you want it to not do something you didn’t ask it for, this does that. It’s not trivial to write one, I wrote a whole thing about how it’s not and how this is good. People did it right. Now, shut up.

No, seriously, shut up. After all that work you don’t get to go “uh, this is actually unsafe because what if the original string is not null terminated and the buffer is not actually the size you said it is”. That’s not how strings in C work. Strings in C work in exactly one way and you don’t get to change that, because that’s just how they work, and there’s 50 years of code that uses string copying routines that work with this that would very much like to have the holy grail of string copies and doesn’t need you muddying the waters and saying that this cannot be invoked safely. It can. The invariants are challenging to uphold but this implementation provides every accommodation that the C standard can provide to this API.

Every single time string copying comes up on Hacker News some enlightened commenter is like “yeah why even bother with this I’m just going to use pointer+length pairs and solve everything”. No. You don’t get to drag this discussion about a very real problem into your half-baked “solution” for C. You especially do not get to reply to me explaining exactly why this API improves upon the state of the art with a lazy dismissal where you retreat to something completely different and go “yeah this is way safer lol”. This would be like if I just responded “yeah I’d just use Rust here I don’t get what the deal is” to you. It doesn’t help.

Look, I’d love to have a conversation about fat pointers and alternative strings in C. I’d love to talk about how we can migrate all this code to safer languages. But this isn’t the time or place for that, and I’m sick of this discussion repeating every single time we talk about, for the love of god, projects that are using normal C strings and safer ways to work with them. It’s not just you but you responding to my comment with something I perceive as fundamentally uninspired set me off.
That sounds like a pointless rule that can be dropped immediately to make the language easier.

Cloud Native Stack – Paid vs. open source
I would say they are acutely aware of the sales funnel. They weren’t making any money from those users who were ‘happily using Slack’s free tier for years’ and neither was there any prospect of converting them into paid users in the coming years. Very little point in keeping users (and paying to maintain them) who are going to be perpetually at the top of the funnel.
His friend "Corn Pop" is pissed.
Straightforward code is harder to write than complex code, it comes with experience. Beginners writes straightforward code for small problems, you need a lot of experience to do it for larger problems.
A free tier is a loss-leader, intended to support sales of the paid product.

Or to stop people moving to a competing product in order to stifle competitors.

Or to leverage a network effect to grow the user base to support investment.

Or because the company simply believes their product should be accessible for free.

Using a 'freemium' model is a common approach to revenue growth but it isn't the only reason for a free tier to exist.
You seem to be falsely equating the Wiki model, with the Encyclopedia model. Encyclopedias could be, and regularly were, referenced as factual and primary sources. The reason is that encyclopedias in the past were predominately written by subject matter experts. As an example writers for Britannica included no less than Milton Friedman, Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, and even Leon Trotsky to go in a different direction. [1]

Wikipedia, by contrast, is written by whoever can engage in the Wiki-world equivalent of getting the most likes. And its writers are whoever wins what is effectively a glorified Reddit-like upvote system. Ostensibly this is balanced against the fact that editors cannot themselves work as primary sources on Wikipedia: Einstein himself would not be allowed to write about physics on Wikipedia, but this also means Joe Editor also can't write as a primary source.

Instead everything is exclusively sourced from other sites. The problem is that this is where bias comes into play. If Joe Editor wants to publish that 2+2=5 in the mathematics section and he can find an article on The Verge claiming so, then he can do so. If somebody wants to correct him, and he doesn't want to change, then edit wars begin. And in these cases, the truth itself is secondary to more normal aspects of social media. This is where Wikipedia fails.

Made the mistake of ordering Thai food from a ghost kitchen restaurant from Doordash in Redwood City (they have a kitchen here).

It was the worst Thai food I have ever had by about ten miles. Like, I have never had Thai food that approached "okay" - it's always been at least "good."

The rice was dry, felt like it had been out all day or maybe reheated from the fridge. The chicken was seasoned as if it had been intended for Mexican food (on its own, not bad, but didn't taste like Thai food at all). My pad thai tasted bland. How bad does a pad thai recipe need to be to taste BLAND? Unbelievable.
Yup, my observation confirms your hypothesis.

The new houses in my neighborhood were all built 2017. There are 120 units in 2 styles: houses and semi detached houses. They all look identical and they were all built with a lot of economies of scale.

The price 2015 was: 500.000 Euro for the semi detached units.

The price 2022 is: 1.3 million.

The neighborhood did not change, the infrastructure did not improve. Nobody can explain you a logical reason (except of EcOnOmiNCs) why the house price exploded. Fine, some construction risk was prices in, let's be it 10%, also risk of default and other factors 10%. That explains 650k.

My boomer parents came, watched and complained: terrible houses, all look same, no garden, no basement, tiny garage, too close to the neighbors. They bought their house back than for 230k!

And there was this amazing time in Germany where prices for houses did not increase. They stagnated and even slightly dropped - which is intuitive as the house is getting older and less attractive!

The American crisis 2008 destroyed everything and it's incredible that until today we are not pointing towards those who's fault it was.

tldr: houses can be build with economies of scale, prices are up because of American politics 2008+
