I would like to take it a step further and ask a question that has been bothering me a while. On my time in the academy I studied the following two books (regarding C):

[1] Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment
https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Programming-UNIX-Environment...

[2] C Programming Language
https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-2nd-Brian-Kernig...

In combination with other classes (and books) on networking, operation systems, data structures we covered a big variance of use cases with C. My question is: How do I take this to the next level? For example I feel I never missed a concept from those classes but when I see C code posted on a thread here it's probably something completely unreadable and complex. Can anyone provide resources to advance a little? What should I study if my goal is to make good and useful modern C software?

I feel like my typing is a bit abstract but I will be happy to clarify.

PS
Yes, I've heard of C++ and Rust ;P
So, you raise some interesting points, but this morning I saw this:

Denys Davydov is a Ukrainian, hometown Sevastopol, whose channel was mostly about his life as a commercial aviation pilot until the war started. He does not show any of the sort of content you discuss, and is definitely not cheerleading anyone's death. He started a Telegram channel recently so that he could post videos which he did not think would be wanted on a YouTube channel. He never posted videos that showed actual killing, nor did he otherwise cross the line you describe. Nonetheless, he's demonetized today, apparently.

Which all suggests, there is something going on other than "no cheerleading deaths".
I'd also add to this point: https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/

The implied causation : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system

Bretton Woods was a defacto global* monetary system with other currencies tied to the dollar, and the dollar convertible to gold at a fixed rate. Nixon ended it in 1971, at which point the government was unconstrained by any external forces when determining economic policy. The debt to GDP ratio in 1971 was about 35% and declining. Today it's 122%. Even before COVID it was 105% and rising.

If this is not sustainable, then there will be a generation which will simultaneously be the last to benefit and first to suffer for this.
I've designed a few homes and while zoning can be very constraining, it's not all bad.

When I do a daylight study, its usability in and around the home along with the impacts on energy efficiency are the top concerns when it comes to the design, but considering the neighbours is important too: In city lots at higher latitudes it's easy to cast a patio next door into permanent shade for large parts of the year.

For just this reason, I wouldn't throw away all zoning. Setbacks and height restrictions can really constrain me, but prevents me from being a jerk.

Density limits and a lot of occupancy type restrictions, on the other hand, can go to Hell. They prevent communities from having diverse properties (and the self sufficiency that comes with it) or evolving to meet local needs.
To steel man the opposition, I think the harms are more clearly measured. Your face is bruised by a punch. Everyone near a lead-emitter getting dumber is harder to notice.

That said, I agree both harms need attention and the latter is more insidious.
When I was in college I bought several bulk for part thinkpads. X200, x200s, T400s, x60, and others. Was able to rebuild all of them. Wonderfully engineered, durable like nothing else, typing on them is a treat.

Stated playing with coreboot on them, and libreboot got me more into soldering and software.

Definitely not. Switching required a specialist to come out and change hardware.

Lately I've been getting ads on Hulu even though I subscribe. To be more precise I get 90s of blank space where the ads would have been, because Hulu's ad-blocker detection is totally FUBAR. First it complains even when I have my ad blocker turned off, then it continues anyway after the prescribed time. The two kinds of brain damage almost cancel each other out. The net result annoys me slightly on principle, but not enough to make me turn to even less convenient ways of getting that content.
Indeed. I suspect the 'x86 always' mindset though led to the expensive failure in mobile - a huge miss. Easy to see this in hindsight though.
I think it's worded poorly and that the implication is that people are experiencing anxiety thinking about their files due to concern about losing those files, not from having them in the first place.

Say its Wednesday night and I'm starting to design a project I'm doing over the weekend but I'm not done yet - and realize I will need 8mm shafts but not sure the length of my design. I just buy 3 or 4 versions of the product with the approximate length I may need and then end up just using the one my final design calls for and returning the others.
Honestly, I had a really similar reaction to watching The Expanse.
You need to get caching right if the builds aren't going to take forever, which is a bit of work, especially since smart GC is hard, and it can be slow (the nix store gets big very quickly!). Then you also would ideally provide that cache (as a nix store cache) for yourself and others, so you don't have to rebuild it. But GH Actions doesn't do that, so you need to find a way on your own, or pay for a service like Cachix. Pushing the nix cache can be quite slow. Then the logs are formatted in a very nix-unaware way, which makes it hard to find what you want. And Github doesn't yet even have M1 Mac VMs, so you would get to test/cache that. (I think it's also not possible to do other architectures, like aarch64.)

Also, for whatever reason (in addition to the specific ones above), GitHub action runners are just slow...

In short: garnix is faster, has more features, and is easier to set up.

Generally the 'camera' of a telescope is just the sensor part while the 'telescope' is the lens part.

In the case of LSST the camera module also contains some corrective lenses, which serve the purpose of making the focal plane flat and correcting chromatic aberration created by the filter substrate and the vacuum window (the sensor part itself is cryogenically cooled so it has to be in a vacuum).

This link (https://github.com/rorysroes/SGX-Full-OrderBook-Tick-Data-Tr...) given by you helped.
The language doesn't matter, what does is your ability to deliver on user and business needs with the resources you have access to.

Often times that's more about a framework than a language, or about the level of abstraction you want to deal with on the backend, or how you intend to scale, and what sort of shop you're at and what kind of devs you have. More often than not, unless you're a greenfield project or a startup, some or all of those decisions have already been made.

Compare two different approaches...

One, a traditional LEMP stack with server side interactivity and rendering. You define every layer of the stack, managing everything from the database to the CDN yourself. You deliver HTML to browsers with a sprinkling of Javascript for pagination or whatever.

Two, a Jamstack running on something like Next and hosted on Vercel, using some sort of headless CMS maintained by another vendor.

(You can substitut LEMP with any similar stack, or Next with any other Jamstack framework in any language).

But the levels of abstraction there are very different, as are your dev and infrastructure costs, as is the user and developer experience. And ecosystem support, everything from third-party packages to Stack answers. Everything gets compiled down to shades of HTML and Javascript anyway, it doesn't really matter what you start out with. The stack and its ecosystem will have way more impact on your final experience.

Most web apps are light on fancy algorithms and heavy on presentation. You're usually building documents more than apps. The tradeoffs you encounter are often between interactivity and infrastructure. Whatever stack you choose that lets you focus on that, without sacrificing business needs, is a good choice.

Yeah the firmware can control the gain/broadcast power and exceed FCC limits. It can be open source still, but modifying it and running the modified version would invalidate the FCC certification and running non certified transmitters is generally frowned upon, often illegal, depending on precise circumstances.
The article links to this PR comment by Linus https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/CAHk-=wie+VC-R5=Hm=Vrg5PLrJx... :

I thought Linus had committed to changing how he behaves in public forums? Even if he didn't like the patch, calling it "unintelligent" and "idiotic" doesn't accomplish anything. He could have just left the rest of the comments in there without using inflammatory language and it would have the same affect.

DICOM: "Designed by a committee" would be an understatement. This is the only protocol I've seen where the envelope is a different byte order from the payload. At least in practice, IIRC the payload can be specified as either, but in practice it's always swapped compared to the envelope.
What most people don't understand about (this and most) war is what Clausewitz said plainly:

Warfare has three main objects:

(a) To conquer and destroy the armed power of the enemy;

(b) To take possession of his material and other sources of strength, and

(c) To gain public opinion.

Notice that none of that says "gain and hold terrority". Think about that and compare it to what you're hearing. I'm simplifying, but you are now more informed than most people.

Many of them do actually have CNDAs signed with Intel, at least those employed to work on commercial products based on Intel's chips. You'll see tons of references to NDA-only datasheet in coreboot's commit history.

> But I disagree with you on that people in many countries would not be allowed to use the software - you would still be able to use the service (i.e., visit garnix.io, have it build things), or even host it yourself in a different country

Which in a way is nice as it enables areas that can't have clean energy (locally) to use clean energy (remotely) via the hosted version, which maybe they otherwise would not, so hopefully acts as an incentive to reward clean energy generation and services wherever they may be (and maybe increase interest in clean energy generation locally if/when that becomes possible in such areas)
I don’t mind this, it was the forced bundles of traditional cable I hated. I’m perfectly okay with discounted bundles so long as I can still pick & choose smaller pieces as well. I add & drop them all if the time.

I had HBO Max for 3 non-contiguous months this year. Netflix for about 8, and Disney+ all of the time. Even digital streaming cable is significantly more convenient: I just picked up Sling for $25 a month, that I’ll only keep for a month, so that I can stream MLB playoffs on my phone, home computer, work computer, large screen TV, etc. with included 50hrs DVR. That’s a PITA and often not possible with for some channels with the traditional cable I cancelled. Overall I spend about 1/2 of what I was on regular cable and have no reduction in available content.

It’s also easy to start and stop these, much much easier than it ever was to add and remove cable tv options (when I cancelled cable tv it took me almost 2 hours and 4 different “retention specialists” in increasing levels of authority forcing me to listen to their reasons for staying and potential discounts)

It’s still a dynamic marketplace, and consolidation could bring back negative things for consumers. But for now the presence of individual offerings along with their discounted bundles seems like a win for consumer choice.
This gets to the biggest existential threat I suspect faces Apple.

For now, yes. A year or two from now? I would be entirely unsurprised to see CAD files to 3D print casings designed to be loaded with homemade black powder / arbitrary projectiles and ignited via some external source (e.g. an automotive spark plug).

Even ignoring that possibility, the fact that some guy with a homemade electrically-ignited handcannon killed the leader of a country with some of the strictest gun control laws is itself a nail in gun control's coffin.

A basic issue is simply choosing to have a no cpr order if you have a terminal cancer. It doesn’t mean you won’t get treatment but if your heart stops in this particular situation (metastatic cancer) odds of survival to hospital discharge are routinely quoted as <1%. No cpr doesn’t even mean no intubation or no critical care, it’s more of a “seatbelt” to protect you and your loved ones from suffering if everything goes to hell.

Politicians would like to help corporate donors, all other things being equal. But that imperative for any particular donor is no where near as strong as the need to acquiesce to desires of a large majority of their most engaged constituents (i.e. homeowners). The times when politicians are most strongly in favor of a particular company/industry is when they have a lot of jobs in the district. Campaign donations are a means to an end. Pissing off large numbers of voters directly contradicts that end.

> To make money

Strategies that result in 95 % drawdowns are not in the "making you money" bucket.

Since growth is compounding[1], the most important property of a money-making strategy is to keep drawdowns at at optimal level. This optimal level is a thrill ride on its own, but 95 % is plain overbetting and will never make you money in the long run.

IIRC the only thing that really matters and is impossible to change is height. If you're tall enough, you're fine. Also, anecdata: I worked with a "vertically challenged" (his words!) guy and he was dating attractive women (taller than him). He was confident and was able to make fun of his height.
