Interesting! A small correction: "innumerate" means "incapable of doing arithmetic"; perhaps you meant "innumerable", which means "incapable of being counted". Also you have "wuthor" for "author", "bible" for "Bible", "donÄt" for "don’t", "WHat" for "What", and "theologician" for "theologian".
There is no such thing as a C to C cable that is "power only" or doesn't support PD, unless it is grossly spec incompliant.

The minimal spec C to C cable is USB 2 data and supports power delivery with currents up to 3 amps (i.e. 60 W at 20V 3A)

This is enough for most phones, and almost all of the exceptions use proprietary charging that isn't going to work on a C to C cable anyway.

The labeling issue of all these cheap shit cables is a serious problem, but it is a nonissue in the phone charging context.
I don't mind paying monthly fees for tools that I get regular value out of. But I hate that feeling of paying for ongoing subscriptions that I rarely use. Plus deciding whether or not to cancel adds to my overall decision fatigue.
To be honest I never understood the ubiquitous use of the word engineer.

To me an engineer has a degree in engineering (including software engineering, which focuses on large-scale infrastructure, not algorithms). In many countries engineers are legally liable for what they implement.
Not how I remember it. This stuff co-existed for a while.
I'm not sure what you think you mean by "corporate farm". Pretty much every single business has some corporate structure for tax, liability, etc. purposes.
Chancery Daily on Twitter has been doing a fantastic job providing commentary of discovery in this case so far: https://mobile.twitter.com/chancery_daily

Notably this news comes just a couple of days before Musk’s deposition. Recently released documents show that Musk’s own data scientists found that 5.3 or 10% of mDAUs on the platform are bots, which is completely in line with what Twitter has disclosed. Twitter has asked for relief over Musk’s use of Signal when messages to Marc Andreessen about the deal on the platform were released, leading to speculation Musk was intentionally withholding information.
Some thoughts...

First things first, homeopathic remedies do help, but only if you're already mostly in tune in the first place. As a very crude metaphor, if you car is a little out of whack an oil change or lube job might be the thing, but if you've been in a serious accident no amount of pouring oil on the car will get the dents out, you gotta go to the boddy shop. Most of us are living in such a way (junk food, junk lifestyles) that homeopathic remedies are no better than placebos. (I don't really want to get into it, but, uh, water carries liquid crystal "echoes" of the chemicals, these can be detected and categorized by a simple reproducible protocol involving dripping water onto a transparent panel illuminated by polarized light, something like that. A Japanese scientist figured it out, but I lost the reference and haven't been able to locate it again. Sorry. If you're already in pretty good health then your system has what you might call "higher gain" on incoming stimuli, including the phantoms of the biomolecules encoded in the structures of the water molecules, which is enough to "remind" your system of, uh, balancing influences, without requiring actual "doses" of chemicals. Just like how hearing a faint echo of a song you like from, say, a passing car might make you recall it and groove to it all over again.)

Anyway, second, the placebo effect, whatever it is, is real and very potent. The craziest thing I've heard about was placebo knee surgery. (O_o)
A lot of approved medicines are no better than placebos.

Third, yes, almost all supplements and herbal remedies that you can get over the counter are B.S. "What you have there are the ingredients for very expensive urine." as Dr, Cooper told Penny.

(In my family it was the Vitamin C. Got a cold? Chew these C tablets. Nothing actually to it, vitamin C does not cure colds. It does affect your Ph balance which can affect your viscosity of mucus, however, that's not the reason we took it as kids. We took it because our parent though it was a kind of medicine, which it is not.)

Last but not least, selling snake oil is an old and venerable custom here in America at least, and people like buying and using nostrums and potions. The last time the FDA tried to crack down on this stuff the public pushed back (the snake-oil sellers whipped them up a bit, but the general sentiment was "you'll take my magic beans from my cold, dead hands!" y'know?)
It gets kind of lost in the summary, but only devices that are rechargeable via a wired cable have to be chargable via USB-C. So going fully wireless is perfectly legal. It's also perfectly legal to offer other charging ports in addition to USB-C, though that's less likely to happen in phones.

And while this regulation puts some limitations on innovation in connectors, Thunderbolt shows that there is lots of room to innovate within the USB-C format (in a way that's compatible to normal USB).
That looks like a very-cool project, thanks for linking it!
That does seem to be a current trend. It actually might swing back though. It also depends on what industry you're in. If you can "move fast and break things", you may not need/want QAs. But in Healthcare and finance (for example), you probably want QAs.
React has been popular for 8 years, has an unassailable lead (we may not see an equivalent usage competitor in 10 years), and in 1 day you can learn the basics for making an app.
If you have this[1] on a shelf between Clotrimazole and Miconazole then it really seems like there is an intent to confuse things (though I should point out it's not purely homeopathic, but arguably also naturopathic since there is also tea tree oil in it).

Diet soda is often a way to distract from other cravings that have calories. While it isn't as good for you as water (obviously), if it's the thing that really helps someone lose 80 lbs, it's probably a big overall win for health as a substitute vice.
Looks cool, I feel like comparing it to React/Vue isn't totally fair though, it seems closer to something like Next.js.
You've hit the nail on the head. A set-top box that would keep a torrent active through normal seeding configurations out of band of the client worked wonders, because your ability to participate in the CDN wasn't determined by code you loaded in the player. You also have that it was targeting longer form content (>10min), so even if that was being shipped through these web based P2P clients, a person committed to a TV series or a movie would suffer through slightly more buffer jank.

Even then though, your average content viewer has different standards. We're opting for 1080p/4K content over the much more common smaller feeds. Netflix loads the first few segments of even the most esoteric content not in your local ISP cache in 100's of milliseconds, users flit from YouTube video to YouTube video randomly, and scroll TikTok like we used to scroll through the Twitter firehose back in the hey-day of the PopcornTime. More content is consumed on mobile devices than set-top boxes, which brings power and data constraints, both from metered data and with networks that are both highly latency variable and not tuned for upstream bandwidth, that make participation in a P2P swarm not ideal.

While content protection is certainly a core tenant of why content is centralized, if the big players at YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, et al, haven't figured out a way to shirk their highest cost center in lieu of putting it on the backs of someone else even cheaper than ISPs without causing a substandard consumer experience with P2P, then you can be darn sure that this is a tough nut to crack.
And more prestigious to boot.
My problem with pedestrians crossing is the same I have with drivers. The hesitancy. Look if you're just standing there without putting a foot out, or looking at me, I'm not stopping for you.

> instead of the perfectly good sidewalk ... Not sure what that's about.

poop avoidance and/or sidewalk elevation hazards (abrupt elevation transition, etc). avoiding having to navigate the inevitable other slow moving pedestrians.

What's wrong with running on the street? From the driver's perspective it's not much different than bike traffic.
If you're asking how to get everything after the '@' symbol, you can use knowledge of UTF-8 (assuming your byte array is UTF-8) to just say `FindIndexOfByte(utf8Buffer, (byte)'@') + 1`. But treat everything else as an opaque blob. The URL portion of that email address, as far as you should be concerned, it just the bytes after the '@' symbol. If you want to verify if it's a valid URL, you should use a URL library, not some hack that assumes a TLD is 3+ characters. However, even that naive method of a byte search is wrong. According to RFC 2822, '@' symbol is actually allowed on the left hand side if escaped. You should be using an email parsing library that implements the spec properly.

Naming the smallest unit of information in C a 'char' was a terrible mistake made decades ago. A character has never been a single byte in many countries. Shift-JIS, for example, can be one or two bytes, and it's two and a half decades old. Even in UTF-16 (used by Java and C#), a 'char' isn't actually a character, but a codepoint. One that could even be an unpaired surrogate.

Really, you should never be indexing into the backing byte/char array unless you know what you're doing. If you think you need to, you should be asking yourself, "what is it I really need to do?" Because you, as a programmer dealing with internationalization, must not assume English/Western ideas about language. For example, in abugidas[0], a single word can be a whole sentence. For a more common language, Japanese typically doesn't use spaces because they're not needed when writing kanji. But that's not foolproof because hiragana and katakana aren't for words, but sounds. How do you do a word count in those languages? You don't.

Cables aren't e-waste. Phones are.
It'd be the same thing if the chiropractor was actually sitting on the other side of the planet and would do movements that'd hurt you if you were in the same room with them, but the theory were that since the action is so weak as to be imperceptible by you, it is actually somehow healing you, and the further the chiropractor is from you, the stronger is the effect.

In fact, I wonder why nobody is doing homeopathic chiroptactic via Zoom yet... Looks like a good startup idea.
I can't tell if you're supporting or criticizing chiropractic care, but I agree that its philosophy maybe aligns with homeopathic remedies.

Someone has either had good results from chiro, or hasn't found a good practitioner yet IMHO. We forget that the body always heals itself, drugs are just a way to suppress an infection long enough for the immune system to catch up.

I dunno, I would always recommend joint manipulation, massage, rehab/PT and other holistic and integrative approaches over surgery. I've known multiple people who have had stuff like back surgery and just not had a good result. Whereas athletes and gym rats like me come back from pretty significant injuries all the time.

I view the body as fungible and almost an expression of the mind, not something that declines and needs all this medication. The magic pill is basically to show up and do the work, but nobody wants to believe that or that it's that simple, because practicing the discipline of proper exercise and nutrition can be hard. And frankly not always feasible in today's world which prioritizes external reward over internal health.
Hey. Maybe some helpful tips:

* I think lots of startups need part-time help when they're early. They need scrappy generalists and people who can write some scripts or do some outreach or whatever. You might be able to fill that niche. Cold reach out to some with a good email (better if you get warm intros to startups if you have any in your network).
* Similar for Indiehackers. I bet you can find people there who might need some help but dont want to hire full time. This might get you the foot in the door.
* I started up https://parttimetech.io/ to try to fill the void in part time roles in tech. Maybe you'll find something there.
Good point. If you just want to copy data far and away the easiest way to transfer data is using MySQLDatabaseEngine. You can even copy table definitions. Watch for issues with Decimal datatypes if you do this.

> The government could legislate any number of product changes, they don't do that, because that's not their role.

In many cases they do, because it is their role. They have done so now with charging cables. You can whine about it until you turn blue but the objective fact remains that the EU has now made regulation of charging cables part of their role.

Roles of governments aren't set in stone, they can in response to changing cultural and social norms, corporate practices, economic conditions, etc. The EU is not obliged to neatly confine itself according to your demands.

You’re getting a lot of advice about ADHD and the medications prescribed for it. My advice is to tread cautiously and know the risks, because most doctors won’t tell you (or they’ll just gloss over them).

Amphetamines are addictive and, used as prescribed, you can find yourself with way worse attention and psychological problems. This is especially true if you take them on a daily basis as prescribed. Taken this way, they can lead to chronically depleted adrenals and long term downregulation of your dopamine receptors, which means you’ll feel like shit when you run out of medicine. The road to up-regulating your receptors is long and arduous.

Hopefully you don’t have a problem filling your medicine, as most people who take controlled substances inevitably come across righteous pharmacists who will refuse to fill them (instead, they will tell you they are out of stock).

There are also long term risks such as the development of Parkinson’s disease. Is a little bit of productivity now for your boss worth developing a debilitating disease in retirement? Only you can make that call.

Cf. "Fifty-four forty or fight!", a slogan demanding that England give up a bunch of Pacific Northwest territory to the US that it in any case had never owned, the land having been already occupied for thousands of years.

The US response to locals' assertions of sovereignty was to move in and burn down their houses and literally all of the food they had saved for winter.
When I travel, I bring one 30W USB-C charging brick and a 2m USB-C cable, in addition to a Dell battery bank that has a short integrated USB-C cable. These charge my phone, laptop, iPad mini, and Nintendo Switch. At home I have a dedicated 45W charger for my laptop, but the 30W charger is much smaller and works just fine.

Unfortunately, I still need to bring a 6" microUSB cable as well, because my Logitech mouse, bicycle headlamp, and pocket flashlight (that uses 14500 lithium batteries) still don't have USB-C ports. I plan on upgrading all of them to USB-C when I can, but these rarely need to be charged so it's not as big a deal for me.
Software engineers are amazing at putting themselves out of a job.

From the (apparently still hand-coded html) web page:

The fourth volume of The Art of Computer Programming deals with Combinatorial Algorithms, the area of computer science where good techniques have the most dramatic effects. I love it the most, because one good idea can often make a program run a million times faster. It's a huge, fascinating subject, and I published Part 1 (Volume 4A, 883 pages, now in its twenty-first printing) in 2011.
What happens when USB-D comes out? Will legislation decide if the port is acceptable for consumers?
Firstly, with your government, you get a vote. But just about competition: the competition is that you can move to a different jurisdiction (i.e. country). And there's a lot more competition there than there is with phone makers or phone OSes.

If a Frenchman doesn't like French laws he can move to Germany and haul all his stuff there (and his pension, etc). But if you don't like the Apple ecosystem anymore, Apple will make it as difficult as possible to move.

The free market isn't the utopia libertarians think it is. You don't get to protest inside Apple, you can't petition for redress of grievances, if Apple terminates your account, you don't get a judge or jury of your Apple peers to rule if it was right or wrong.
The fact that their Code of Ethics is a joke does not imply that the project is in some way toxic.

Most developers don't need a Code of Conduct to tell them how to behave because they're not 10 years old.
Indeed. Why should Mickey be governed by different rules than Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Pinocchio or The Ice Queen?
To add a scientific perspective here, there is a study on "hot streaks", periods of continuous success in a person's life. The main conclusion? Trying a bunch of different things is what leads to a hot streak. Focus comes after the start of the hot streak, in other words after success has been found.

Don't find your talents, cultivate your skills. You likely will never just "find 1 thing you are really good at", but if you find something that's worth getting good at and stick with it even though you suck, eventually you will become good at it.

That's my approach, anyway!
Yeah, the test suite seems pretty key. It also probably contains information about the proprietary extensions and contract work from clients and can likely never be released.

Proprietary test suite is a pretty interesting strategy actually. Very difficult for others to just steal your code and support effort and run if they have to start from zero to build a massive test suite.

I wonder how difficult it would be for some sort of tool to assume a particular original sqlite.c has full coverage and then suggest where additional tests are needed for patches?

All these different types of connectors had little to do with innovation than they had to do with companies trying to force you to buy their own chargers and peripherals. Its a good thing that the Eu is forcing them to adopt a standard.
Sorry, but you already said that you agree with the point, and called it "obvious".

So yes, you agree and think the point is obvious.

And now you are just moving the goal posts to something else, using a lot of words, in order to ignore the fact that you just agreed and said it was obvious.

Chiropractors are a little more interesting. There are a lot of quacks out there that claim that aligning your spine will cure cancer, but the reputable ones can actually improve some things. My wife has an issue with her SI joint that she works with both a sports medicine doctor and a chiropractor on, and the chiropractor legitimately improves a misalignment around that joint that happens over time due to muscle weakness and the injury. It's not a permanent fix, unfortunately, but it's a necessary step toward then allowing PT to work on the muscle.
There are loads of technical reasons, especially around how software is assembled today instead of created from "purpose-built programmning". But, ultimately the root cause is that programmers no longer create programs for users. They create programs (oftentimes just subsets of programs) for their managers. And, managers many times work towards MVP products instead of actually usable products for their end-users .

The incentive for creating a user's program has become an incentive to complete quarterly assessments.
I am not supporting chiropractic care. It creates more issues than it resolves IMO.
"Infinitely many alphabets can be generated by the programs in this book".
