Most definitely. Your enemies are counting on it. In fact, there are good reasons to believe they are mostly responsible for your current situation[1]. There's no cheaper and more effective way to do modern warfare than to psychologically manipulate your enemy's population and watch the country implode from the inside out. You even gave them the tools to do that.

As for the power shift: more than likely, yes. Governments that have a tight grip on the information that reaches its population, and have already been manipulating it for their own benefit, have a higher chance of surviving than those that don't.

We're already seeing signs of this, and it will only get crazier in the following decades. We're living in dark times.

Learning more programming languages will make you a better programmer irregardless as it will expose you to different programming patterns, paradigms and the limitations/improvements that result from those.

This is especially true for a popular language, no matter if the language is considered "good" or not. This allows you to understand the libraries/code you will encounter down the road.

I would only discourage one from learning a programming language which is tied to a specific commercial product (most of those just die in the same niche and thus lack the practical utility).

There are a number of fundamental pieces of Scrum that are needed so all the pieces fit together.

In the Sprint, one of the fundamental elements is having a "Sprint Goal". This allows the team to see the big picture and add/remove work during the sprint to get to that goal.

Without a clear sprint goal, then of course it's easy to loose the essence or "big picture" of what the team is trying to achieve during the sprint.
I don't think it's that weird (assuming "breathtaking" was meant to be a criticism). The FAA is supposed to control and support aviation. The EPA is supposed to do the same for environmental concerns. Those two different areas can be inherently at odds with each other, and regulation will hopefully find a balance...eventually. I think two different regulatory agencies that conflict could be a sign of healthy functioning. Perhaps the mechanism that identifies and deals with interagency conflict needs to be improved, though.

> Then don't run that software or don't buy that hardware in the first place? There are plenty of options here.

Yeah, right. Just don't use any proprietary software. Just don't use any mobile app. Just don't buy any mainstream hardware and products. Enjoy all those ridiculously old FSF RYF certified laptops that won't run anything requiring the latest cryptographic user control features anyway.

How in the world is this a solution? These corporations should be forced by law not to do this stuff. The hardware and software should be open and free and they should have no choice but to run on it on our terms if they want to reach customers at all.

> Look at what Apple is doing with their hardware and OS right now. It's not to take away more individual freedoms of their users.

You gotta be kidding me. It is literally impossible for a user to run software on an iOS device without Apple digitally signing it. "Manage their Apple stuff"? What a bunch of BS. More like create their own digital fiefdom where they own users, determine what they can and can't do and sell access to them to third party developers like they were cattle.

You said it yourself, it's about "controlling what software is run on company owned hardware". We don't own these devices, the companies do. There is no freedom to be had here, we're all playing on their playgrounds.

Ukraine winning means what exactly? Russia leaving a pile of rubble and thousands dead? 20 years or rebuilding, a generation lost to war for what? Before the war there was a possibility for leaving Crimea annexed and keeping Ukraine neutral (Turkey almost had it when the US and UK spoiled it). Sure Putin would have continued to try to use his influence to push for more Russia friendly governments and try to influence elections but so would the west. Not letting Ukraine join NATO would have been worth all the dead we have now. Also there was no reason that Crimea would not become part of Ukraine again at a later time when tensions and leading ship change.

I would say "Effective C" is a good book (and Robert is awesome) but personally I feel like I learned the most by writing and disassembling small quines under different compilers and flags more than anything else.

Also, reading through some codebases gave me good (and horrible) ideas and habits. However, C projects are usually messy and I am not sure whether recommending it would be helpful or just confusing. But I would say TenDRA, BearSSL, pkgconf, s6, kivaloo, apk-tools, libsodium, musl, OpenSSH and cosmopolitan libc are worth checking out.

Finally increasing my tiny understanding of architectures, memory models and decades of safety issues was significantly helpful as well.

The fact is that DouYin, the Chinese TikTok, run by the same parent company is making billions of dollars every year, and expects to make more and more every year. It is eating up Alibaba's market share in e-commerce.

First, the whole point of RISC-V is that if you use it to create new processors, you do not have to pay any licensing fees to anyone. If you want to use the ARM or x86 or AMD64 instruction set in a new processor, you will have to pay a license fee to the owners of these instruction set (Arm, Intel or AMD respectively). Due to the cross-licensing agreement that Intel and AMD have with each other to license each others instruction set (x86 and AMD64), it has negligible financial impact on their profit margins.

Second, Intel and AMD's x86 and AMD64 are the dominant platform on server and desktop market today. ARM instruction set architecture (ISA) dominates the mobile platform and is only now competing with Intel and AMD on the desktop and server market. If Intel or AMD drop support for x86 and AMD64, and migrate to ARM, it will make ARM the dominant ISA on which all IoT, mobile, desktop and server softwares run. This is obviously not in Intel or AMD's interest. Migrating to RISC-V would mean they have to help promote a completely new ISA and help developers migrate their software to it. Doing so will also kill the x86 and AMD64 platform.

So unless RISC-V ISA actually offers some real technical advantage (like drastically lowering the power requirement and boosting computing performance) it really makes no sense for Intel and AMD to shift to it.

Note that the news here is not that Intel and SiFive have built a RISC-V chip but how SiFive (who have ventured into making RISC-V chips) has partnered with Intel Foundry Service to make the chips in Intel's fab. This is Intel diversifying to also make chips for others in its foundry like, Samsung and TSMC already do.
I think they're incorrect, but one would have to read all the regulations carefully to be sure.

I'm basing that judgement on this: https://www.icao.int/safety/DangerousGoods/Documents/Guidanc...

While this is packaging guidance, and not airline guidance, I expect it's the same rule, for the same reason.
UV-B and UV-C are dangerous. As always, the dose makes the poison, so low exposure is safe.

My guess is that they claim is safer for the environment or safer if they broke, but the language is confusing and they seam to claim they are safe in normal use. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excimer_lamp

> Mercury lamps are the most common source of UV radiation due to their high efficiency. However, the use of mercury in these lamps poses disposal and environmental problems. On the contrary, excimer lamps based on rare gases are absolutely non-hazardous and excimer lamps containing halogen are more environmentally benign than mercury ones.[citation needed]
> which is that it really does just teach you C the programming language

A gross misrepresentation that, taken at face value, can only lead to a perpetuation of disasters committed by the sort of C programmers that K&R has produced in droves.

Just because there are a few mentions of undefined behavior in K&R, doesn't mean the concept is addressed or even identified as an issue. There is not a single mention of the "C abstract machine" (what is that, the K&R C programmer wonders), pointer provenance, aliasing, or pretty much any aspect of the language that has emerged in the last 20 years as of supreme importance to correctness and security.

As someone else wrote in this thread, the entire book is hopelessly obsolete and should be retired to the annals -if not the garbage bin- of history.

The easiest possible grift is to get a contract to procure (say) 100 rockets, actually build and deliver only 50 (or 20 or 10), then forge the paperwork for the rest, pay off the right people and split the proceeds. And this kind of thing is notoriously endemic in the Russian army.

If you mean a different hash from the actual genesis block of Bitcoin, released on 3rd January 2009, of course it's different. We're talking about two different networks.
Kind of interesting. Allocate a stack for the coroutine on context switch and memcpy the current stack into it.

Pointers into the stack get invalidated on context switch which kills most of the advantage of a stackful coroutine. Alloc+copy per context switch makes context switching more expensive which kills the rest of the advantage. It does seem simpler than dealing with unknown size stacks though.

I see the attraction of allocating the stack on first yield but not on every yield.

Exactly. Shipping is considerably slower than with Amazon, but customer service is no-nonsense, and there are never problems with commingled inventory.

Every time people mention Szabo, and every time someone needs to debunk this rumour. I'm on the phone, so it won't be me this time.

One of the many argument against this theory is that Szabo is not much of a computer programmer, and Satoshi was very fluent with C++ among other skills.

There's Hal Finney, the creator of PGP, which was a good programmer, a cypherpunk, and died a few years ago. The fact that Satoshi has shown inhuman restraint in showing up or saying a single world since 201x would be neatly explained if they were dead.

I already talked at length about this, but no human would be able to keep their mouth shut and assets frozen if they were alive today and held a few billion dollars and spiritual reigns of the most controversial economic invention of the century. Not a single one.

> So why is it better to be harmful and unfixable than harmful and fixable?

In terms of the harm, it isn't better; harmful is harmful.

A non-programmable device is more freedom-respecting than one that is only programmable by a vendor. It causes users to have some blackbox whose future behaviors are controlled by third parties.

The situation with the non-programmable device is a vacuous truth. Like why is it possible that "all crows in set X are black" if X is an empty set? Yet not if X is a set containing one white crow?

"Nobody can program this device" implies that users are just as free to program the device as the vendors and their cohorts.

The statement "any firmware that can be flashed onto this device is allowed to be a nice, clean-smelling piece of GNU software" is a logically true statement, if the set of what can be flashed is empty. The statement becomes false when the set of what can be flashed becomes nonempty, and excludes free software.

It's a waste of time to try to fix your definitions in order to eliminate "weird" vacuous truths.

It's like trying to change the definition of what is a black crow so that not all crows are black in an empty murder of crows.
Kinda unrelated but this makes me realize how fortuitous it was that the development of transistors happened around same time as computers, considering that they were essentially two completely separate fields. From a quick glance on wikipedia, we had commercial vacuum tube computers for less than a decade (IBM 701 in 1952 to IBM 7070 in 1958).

Marshal plan helped to rebuild Europe after the WWII while the Soviet Union was left behind.

The same could be expected of Ukraine and Russia after this war.

The war has nothing to do with Ukraine joining NATO. It was a lame excuse by Putin. And Ukraine is not responsible for all the dead Russians in this war. It is on Putin 100%.
So, in your point of view what is the west doing that's worth questioning? From the top of my head:

- Supplying Ukraine with humanitarian and military aid?

- Sanctioning Russia?

- Trying to mediate peace talks since before the war begun, and extensively after it started? Trying to enforce international law?

- Upholding agreements of the Budapest Memorandum, where US, UK and Russia (lol) gave security guarantees to Ukraine after the denuclearization?

I don't see what is so nefarious on the west actions.

Of course the Russia narrative: "if you keep supplying arms you're just prolonging the war" -> because they want to take over the country, and stomp Ukraine.

Edit: Now maybe what's questionable is the rhetoric - "Russia can't/won't/must/etc...", maybe it's "diplomatically condescending" and could be disrespectful, but in the light of Russia's' actions, it's more than suitable.

Perhaps he's a software developer working a modest job in some company somewhere, chuckling to himself as he reads all these outlandish conspiracy theories about his identity.

Maybe he retired to make cheese as a hobby. Maybe he's now an old man with a pipe and a walking stick who regularly enjoys the company of his grandkids. Maybe he died and took the secret with him to the grave. Not as fun to think about, but if so, it'll happen some day, and the mystery will remain forever.
