Could someone explain why glibc doesn't include Annex K?

I recently integrated clang-tidy at work, and we use snprintf() fairly regularly. clang-tidy by default tells you to use snprintf_s() which just doesn't exist in glibc. Does it exist in other libcs?

I don't understand the history behind Annex K. Note that I write C every day, so I do know what it is trying to accomplish.
Published research is accessible today by paying subscriptions to journals. The journals are privately owned. The end result is that today your tax $$ are going to enrich publishing companies many of which are not US companies either.

This way everyone benefits. There is no way of keeping the access embargoed to US citizens or tax payers. But that wasn't happening in the current model anyway.
Cool, Dwinelle at Berkeley is a fascinatingly bizarre building for seemingly very similar reasons, and (if I remember correctly) also with pretty much the same weird numbering system plus tiny staircases to adjust for mismatched heights between floors!
Scientific progress is not a zero sum game.
Unfortunately that is really how some of these people (don't) think.

There's even dystopian sci-fi with that theme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron

The worst part is that they've infected organisations who have huge amounts of power over the population.

Our technology has improved, but our brains? We've still got the same brains. Still susceptible to the same biases and fallacies now as we were two thousand years ago.
> with him now firmly in the Trump camp we'll see what kind of long term misery will come from that.

[citation needed]. I guess you missed the news of Trump completely lambasting Elon? Trump is no friend of Elon. Nor is Elon a friend of Trump. Elon is a centrist, not far right.

Yes, but it doesn't mean you aren't liable for the charges that get placed on them.

It seems like you don't actually do it all the time then.
I am aware. I just don't trust the company at all because of the shade they pull on the desktop application. Snooping processes is just a horrible practice.
this perfectly describes me
This article mentions another guy, Mark Middleton, who committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a shotgun and then hanging himself.

I wonder why people don't trust the media and the government these days when transparent conspiracies like these go entirely uninvestigated. Yep, just another associated of an assassinated billionaire sex trafficker mysteriously killing himself - nothing to see here.
Until you get lost, injure yourself, or plain just need help.
3500 sounds low IMO when you look at some of the drone videos in SoCal of the people tracking these (mostly juveniles in SoCal).

Also they don't often confuse Sea Lions for humans, but it's still a good explanation for the few attacks that do occur. It's actually impressive how good they are at recognizing their prey.
Even if that were easier, there’s basically no way to get there without full self driving capable of working around human drivers. The reason why cars are convenient is due to the existing road network, and any deployment of self driving cars is going to have to function on existing road. If you tried to segregate the system, you would have to close some of the existing roads but this would mess with regular people and result in a very small network of pure self driving roads.
Yeah, I always assumed it was an American thing trying to sound French. Probably because of the cheesy commercials when I was a kid.

I'll just say good for you for putting in the work. I think I accept the struggle with more positivity than you do (because I actively wanted to have kids), but it's still a struggle.

People have tried to make me feel bad about it but that doesn't bother me either. I can feel how I want as long as I'm being a good parent for my children.
Most international research is published in the same places as US research in part because prestige is aggregated by everyone doing the same.

Classified research inside the US remains classified of course.
I was doing the same, But unexpected crashes due to OOM killing became too much to handle with 32GB memory.

I replaced the extensions I use with standalone applications and I've never been happier with GNOME. But its sad that the extensions ruin the experience of GNOME and possibly one of the main reasons for the hate it gets as a DE.
His efforts led to the creation of a sub-industry: Network Security Monitoring. Also the "operation showerhead" is one of the earlier honeypots I am aware of.
What he "under-delivers" is still a lot more than most other companies deliver, maybe every other company.
I agree with that, a few specialized types that are understood by all your nodes can be really helpful in a more limited domain. And it's definitely better suited to relatively simple things where it gives you a sort of high-level flowchart and the nitty-gritty details can happen within the nodes themselves.

Otherwise you get a lot of low level logic of type conversion or other small details instead of a very high level view of the logic. It also helps if you can box up existing flows into a single black box as it were, since that can help you reuse code.

If you do have complex nodes that let you make it into a simplified flow chart of what the application is doing and that allows you to look inside the nodes which might have a more complex, specialized configuration, those end up being a lot nicer to program in than in something that's trying to be a general programming language with lots of low-level nodes dealing with trivial things like data conversion.

I may be confused about the scenario then, because this does work for me. Specifically, when I turn off my cellular radio (I'm a T-Mobile customer) I can still send and receive messages to people not using iDevices.

"Good" is not well-defined so let’s rephrase it as "interests".

People with the same ideologies flocks together. So when conflict of interest happens, each flock believes that

I'm not a huge fan of the form DIE practices take almost every time I've run into them, and I'm often even appalled it's gotten to this point, but I also don't think it is an all-or-nothing proposition.

A metric of diversity being applied to selection really doesn't mean it's the sole criterion. The effect isn't negligible, but neither is it fully-like wannabe egalitarian marxist systems where your parent's job or political affiliations forever determined your future status without negotiation.

There's definitely a scale between a meritocratic and egalitarian society.

The US military funds a lot of basic and applied research that is openly published. DARPA is one agency that does this.

> don't jump to the fork button

Doesn't PR refer to pull request? That means there is already a de facto fork: a repository from which the changes are supposed to be pulled into the upstream.
Your reply is an extremely poor attempt to downplay this. This statement reads like it was lifted from an undergrad essay in a 'critical theory' course. There is so much written but so little said explicitly by design. The purpose of the statement is to announce the intent to stifle academic inquiry into areas which a fringe of people believe harmful. In such cases that harm is disputed, will Nature, by its own guidelines even be able to publish research that contradicts the claim of harm? Does that not cause more harm even if true?

If you don't see what this is you are either sympathetic to this particular ideology or simply naive. Instead of attempting to dismiss criticism by invoking vivisection, which is unaffected by this policy change, why not provide some examples of immoral research that is currently being published that this policy will prevent.
Today's announcement says my existing T-Mobile phone already had satellite capability!!

They just need to get the satellites up.
Building and launching them is the easy part.

SpaceX will need to get FCC/ITU approval for the G2 satellites. T-Mobile is seeking agreements with international carriers. I think those are probably required for the proposed system to be viable. Spectrum management bureaucracies in other countries, and opposition from competitors will slow things down. It will require a lot of money to get worldwide operating agreements in place, and some of the money will be bribes to the right people.
People paddle with the Orcas every day in the PNW - they have plenty of opportunities to attack humans.
Looks really nice! I'm wondering though whether this is luring me into a dangerous complexity cliff.

It seems easy to start using, but will I run into some issues a few months down the line like a package that's not available through Nix, or some Nix issue, and then I'm back to dealing with Nix's complexity only that I got there while staying clueless about Nix.
Australia tried that whole voting for the profits to be distributed thing.

The CIA gave them a new government that wouldn't be so silly as to enact public will.

Then murdoch came along to make sure noone would vote based on reality anymore.
47% of smartphones in the USA are Apple. Seems pretty ubiquitous.

T-mobile has 110 million subscribers and the population of USA is 329 million people.
I find this completely false, messaging anyone on a non-iPhone (from my iPhone) is a complete disaster. Pictures / texts randomly fail to send, videos turn to 12 pixel noise, it’s so bad that an entire generation of people have friend groups that apple / android only because communication between the two phones is so bad.
basically, "scientists" choose which results to not published based on the fact that they don't like a specific sociological result

this causes more trouble for those groups because the truth doesn't get out about negative and under-performing behaviors, creating no avenue for improvements

Ah Qt! I knew we often discussed about license of some project. Thanks.

Once again, LGPL being more permissible than AGPL shows IMO the need for having a permissible license for the dual-license.
Thus, by extension, it's why phasing out war is essentially impossible.
Ask HN: Turkey Residents, how do you survive with a 79%+ inflation rate?

Eli Whitney's patent depicts a hand-cranked cotton gin, but I believe by the mid 19th century they were making much larger cotton gins powered by water wheels or animal power (e.g. four mules walking around a shaft.) And on the cotton consumption side of the industry, mechanized thread spinning and power looms were by then a mature technology. The industrialization of textile industry began in the 1700s, particularly in the UK where they imported huge quantities of southern cotton.
Oh so if a woman walks in and asks for an abortion you’re saying they will let her know the nearest location where she can have that medical procedure? And Will they on their own suggest abortion as an option and do it without a lot of false scaremongering?
Yeah, I really wonder just how out of touch they are with their customer base to believe this is the best course of action. So many of their paying customers ended up that way because it was free and easy to test out an idea. Then if you started making money it was still easy and you could afford to pay Heroku to scale. Then a lot of these paying customers will never outgrow Heroku scale so they stay forever.
huh this seems like a combination between asdf and docker. looks nice, will definitely try, congrats!
Love the idea and we are all thinking Nix needs the Docker treatment.

I believe though that something has restart from scratch rather than rely on Nix.

Nix ushered the idea but needs a new face. Building on top of it may be too problematic long term.
No I mean, there's a power button.

> Usury: the illegal action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest.

These are federal loans. The interest rate on these are currently mid-single digits (not accounting for 0% since March 2020). They've been low single digits for the past decade.

This is not usury.
But you can’t really count on that right? Maybe they stop doing that at some random time and after that cancelled users are not so lucky.
Thanks! We think so too :)
> I was also using Norse Data systems with some OS specific to them ...

In the mid 00s I had a large set of C source dumped at my desk, absent build-system, and was asked to get it going across a few different OS. I found #ifdefs for a bunch of architectures I'd never even heard of, and #ifdef ND5000 was only resolved when I had a chat with one of the original authors and asked WTF??

A quick look at ndwiki.org (because of course that exists) tells me they had NDIX, which was a custom UNIX, and SINTRAN which might be what you're describing.
Heroku will phase out their free tier
there might not be an impact straightaway, however gaining access to source code means that it's easier for hacker to find loophole is it not?

lastpass has to be ready for some sort of attacks I guess, it's good that they identified this early
I’m still on seven… Still works OK, and I haven’t gotten a lot of pressure from them to upgrade.

The same way that Iranians (Turkey's neighbor) have been living with +%20 (monthly) for decades now. Honestly, it's not living, it's just being alive.
I think it depends on what's considered political. Family estrangement due to religious differences (such as marrying a catholic) was so commonplace it was practically a sitcom joke. There was also family estrangement about potentially dating outside your race.
In my experience those who implement before process leave out important cross team requirements and/or blow their political capital right away. Or they spend their time doing things like unsolicited refactors or migrations or rearchitecting. They're forgiven for a project or two but eventually people get tired of it because it's not sustatinable.

Those are not 10x engineers.

Real 10x engineers know how to deal with politics and process on top of the actual engineering. Those are rare but absolutely amazing to work with.

We’ll see. This will be interesting to see how it plays out. Both T-Mobile and SpaceX are capable companies but they always boast these grandiose plans that technically do what they say but turn out to be lackluster.

*EDIT* excluding the space exploration division of the company. I had a brain fart for a moment and forgot about its huge successes.

I was thinking more on the satellite internet portion which this would be concentrated on with T-Mobile most likely.
M2 Pro/Max chips will be huge. Only the ultra is using an interconnect between dies, but that's two full max dies. M1 Max is 432 mm^2, that's enormous. M2 is 25% bigger than M1.

There's not a lot of lower core count SKUs for these chips either. There's a few GPU tiers and CPUs tiers but not lots of room to go down. Pro has 8/10 CPU cores and 14/16 GPUs. Max is 10 CPU and 24/32 GPU.

There is no 4-7 CPU core segments like AMD does with their chiplets. Intel has much lower tiers for their dies.

The dies are just huge huge huge.
Even without Wi-Fi? Because that’s the scenario they’re talking about, where nothing sends because you have no signal whatsoever.

> Comedy was at a high point

It really was.

Speaking of which-- what ever happened to the guy who did the "women be shoppin'" Def Jam parody in the nutty professor? I remember he appeared on some talk shows at the time but it's as if he dropped off the face of the earth in the 2000s, 2010s and the past year.

Whoever he was, 90s comedy was surely the pinnacle by any measure I can think of.
Featuring such mind-bogglingly difficult words like "advise", "consult", "depict", "desire" and "locate". Someone evidently neglected to read their Orwell when they were assigned it as required reading in school. And they do document review, to boot, evidently on a mission to suck all the color out of the English language.

How do they think people learn words other than by encountering them in the wild? Nobody reads a dictionary for fun. That's exactly how I learned words as a child. It's natural, and it's ok.

More broadly, I don't understand this modern trend of trying not to expose people to things they don't understand or leaving things unclear at times. Isn't that one of the small yet magical things in life? Coming across something unfamiliar? Whether mundane; a word you don't know, or maybe a subtle play on words that the reader only picks up on in a subsequent reading, a small reference that someone only gets later when consuming other media, or something more specialized, like a scene in a movie making reference to events the viewer hasn't seen. Getting answers through effort, piecing a mystery together yourself or filling narrative gaps with your imagination is, in my opinion, part of the core experience of consuming media and living.

I see translators struggle with these ideas, and there is a tension between camps on whether things like puns and references to local cultural understandings should be replaced with equivalent ones in the target language or translated verbatim at the risk of confusing the viewer/reader. Personally, I lean to the latter.

I did a little digging into the source and discovered that every email sent by your email alias to your main email, includes a password capable of deactivating that email alias. Imagine you want to forward an email sent to you through an alias, to someone else. You've now given that person control over your email alias.

Every email from an email alias includes a link. That link is used to look at the details of that email alias and gives you the option to deactivate it. You'd think there would be some login verification to prevent just anyone from using that link, but no, anyone that has this link, can now deactivate your email alias. The password itself is formatted in json, compressed with deflate, and simply tacked on to the end of the link's URL. When you click on the link, the destination webpage takes the end of the URL, decompresses the deflate, and serves a deactivate button to deactivate the email alias. When you click on that button, the email alias's address and password are sent to DDG's API and your email alias is disabled.
They could store it on aws glacier or something and it would cost them cents per month. They probably do something like that anyway when you cancel as someone said they could restore their shop after having cancelled two years before that. $9 is quite a lot for something that does nothing.

Export is great if you are guaranteed to be able to just import and it will work as before. I don’t see that much; usually exports from years back give a nice ‘your export was done with an older version, sorry’. How does that work with shopify export/import?
