A few airlines (Etihad is one that comes to mind) operate mini cells on the plan and you can roam on a local 4G network and makes calls/use data. If I recall correctly it’s switched off on takeoff and landing but you can definitely use your phone on these flights.
Hey everyone, in this episode we've discussed data extraction from [dynamic web pages][1] without using a browser. Specifically, from Google Maps and Walmart.

It was fun discussing this topic. Please share your feedback about this episode.

In Finland we have online access the health data, tax, social benefits and what not for years. Banks close their branch offices and do their best not to serve customers in the few remaining ones.

But there are about 10% (IIRC) of the adult population who don't even have credentials to any of those services (credentials are either provided by your bank or the SIM card of your phone). Or they don't have / cannot use any device to access online services.

It's a significant problem of discrimination. But typically nobody mentions that, they are all proud how digital the country is.
K&R is still the gold standard, not just for C books but technical writing in general.
As someone who does this but has never analyzed WHY somehow this description you just provided of the mental model really resonates with me... thanks!!!
But seriously, what could we do to make ourselves evident in every direction to distant beings with telescopes at least as good as ours? Something that would never ever happen naturally.

I'm thinking something passive (i.e. reflective) and orbiting a Lagrange point... maybe one we don't need much, like Mars L4 or L5. Make a dozen reflective spheres, of mirror mylar inflated with a little bit of some big-molecule gas that won't leak out. Arrange them in a static icosahedral form at the Lagrange point.

From any angle except perhaps very normal to the ecliptic, there would be a distinctive changing pattern of reflected light. Maybe each sphere could have a different notch filter coating on it so there would be some signal on the spectrograph too.
> It probably makes sense to relax the rules,

I suppose this issue will actually fix itself with the advent of cheap Internet onboard the plane via WiFi, which combined with VoWiFi, will effectively switch cell off automatically when connected. People are more likely to use free WiFi onboard than to voluntarily remember to switch the Airplane Mode on.
I "yelled" IN MICE right after reading the title, went to check the article, and sure enough...

But yeah, it seems 100% deliberate because most people wouldn't probably care after reading the title. It's academic clickbait techniques.
There’s an easy solution: the airline automatically owes the maximum amount. This would save everyone much time and put some burden back with the airliner (by potentially paying more than the customer had, though at around USD 1800 it should be quite even, especially once you consider the time spent to get your money back)

You already need to insure higher values anyway if you want to be entitled to a reimbursement, so this would set a nice minimum that encourages customer friendly behavior.
I'd rather just work towards a future without ads, than reinvent the entire banking system.
Well when K&R C was released the compiler landscape did look very different. I'm sure back then you could get away with a lot more UB than nowadays, where LLVM and GCC will use every millimetre of leeway you give them to break your programs.

It seems beautiful except for the strange fact that there is a random number of empty lines between the code blocks.

Why would someone who obiviously likes the beauty of code and writing in general not fix those?
Try that in Europe. Or almost anywhere not US though, and you'll very likely won't be able to access your luggage due to being detained in some cell.
I wouldn't say they're inaccurate; Just unfocused.

Can't think of an example off the top of my head, but it's super weird seeing a whole paragraph about something that's only relevant to historians followed by 1 sentence about something that revolutionized the field a few years ago and is now widely deployed in production.
I made the mistake of buying a very cheap “mercusys” router. Works well but i caught it sending data to a chinese server. I threw it away but if someone out there working in security has the time to dig into what mercusys routers do and publish their findings that would be awesome.
"However, practically speaking, I can’t imagine it poses much of a risk of fire, or anything else."

Writer seems to not understand turning off transmitters is not about fire risk but electromagnetic compatibility with flight instruments. Hundreds of RF sources of different quality each with their own spurious emissions add up, but whether they seriously affect those instruments is still debated.
How philosophy turned into physics and reality turned into information
And where do you put the PSU for the devices? Remember you might need to replace them, so "in the wall" is bad idea.

Practically speaking you'll also need a larger duct for Ethernet+DC (if you need/use them; we have stone walls, and need them) and pull twice the number of lines. Even pulling Ethernet and DC at once adds some overhead.

Now for a single device it's not a lot of difference (but then just use a single PoE injector instead of a PoE switch), but you'll easily add 4 to 8 cameras to a house and 3 or 4 APs. And with a big PoE switch, you can casually get the PoE variant of other devices, so even less PSUs (for us: VoIP-to-Dect gateway [the SO insisted on a "landline"], Modbus-to-TCP gateway [energy meter], video doorbell and a 5 port switch). Our switch also reports power usage and allows to use schedules (we're not using that, but might be interesting for larger installations).
> If we give them the territory they hold today they're in no shape to take anything else, and they certainly won't launch WWIII.

> I don't support appeasement in any way, but that isn't the road to WWIII.

These two statements are in conflict. You obviously _do_ support appeasement if you suggest Ukraine stops defending itself.
Astounding to me that anyone is downvoting this sentiment. I would love to hear some sort of rationale from anyone who believes that individuals shouldn't have the right to control who has access to their own private medical information and who stores it.
Wait, tell me which casino this is! I'll put all my money on red!!
I don't think you "must pay for it with your changes," as in article 5, Conveying Modified Source Versions, it only says that the work must do the following:

- have a notice that you modified it,

- have a notice that the work is licensed under the GPL,

- be licensed under the GPL, and

- if the work has interactive UIs, it must display Appropriate Legal Notices.

It says nothing about contributing changes back, the only freedom it restricts is the "freedom" to restrict the freedom of others. It is like the whole "is prohibiting slavery reducing freedom" problem.

Because that code is heavily edited, prepared for a review. For sure there are some missing comments (e.g. see "debug print" on line 112 compared to line 1042).

I also highly recommend pretty much anything from Renaissance Periodization (YouTube, more on their website, but that's paid).

They cover a lot of theory, mostly about hypertrophy rather than strength, but really high quality stuff!

Also just stay skeptical, many 'universal' truths by people like Mark Rippetoe and friends are questionable. Starting strength is still a great resource for getting through the initial beginner stage though.
Why is free as beer questionable? Do you expect to monetize the free beer that someone gives you?
Why not go with 10G?

I think 2.5G is a weird use case. You already can get 10G internet in various places, because such connections go over fiber so the ISP could deliver even 100G if it really wanted to. So if the ISP is already delivering >1G, you can expect things to get to at least 10G eventually, probably sooner than you'll want to rebuild your network.

Mikrotik has a whole range of affordable 10G hardware. It's also managed. A lot of it also takes PoE.

Despite what many think, I'd say the "The C Programming Language (2nd Edition - ANSI C)" by Brian Kernighan & Dennis Ritchie (K&R) book is still a good introduction to C. It doesn't go into best practices, or other forms of more advanced C programming, but it teaches C well. I'd pair it with "Understanding and Using C Pointers: Core Techniques for Memory Management" by Richard M Reese to get a good understanding of the pointer underpinnings of C. They are both small, well written and easily digestible.
As in GP's proposal.
Quite a rehashed discussion I think. I the essence of my question towards the fsf critics camp is: There is a non-gplv3 alternative for every single thing the fsf has made. You can literally live your life as normal without even touching their software. Why is there such a chronic pressure towards making the fsf more pragmatic? what do you wish to get out of such a move? aren't there other organizations that fight for that cause you want better than fsf? honest question.

The memetic nature of the term "K&R" also seems to have resulted in a lot of people who think Kernighan created Unix, and don't know who Ken Thompson is.

It’s theoretically possible but as the poster mentioned fairly difficult/rare outside of options, and even then those tend to be more like “vol book gone bad”, “long term position gone bad”, and less like “hft MM strategy gone bad”.

A bad strategy could lose 200k over the course of a day if allowed to run, but again I think the poster was referring to discrete events in a short period.

Crazy events tend to be money printers outside of the initial bad trades since there’s a ton of volume, wide spreads, and general chaos following. Most MMs run taker strategies as well, and in fact many of the large ones make most of their money taking even if volume is evenly split.

If there is one area where the FSF has failed it's "user data". They focus only on the software side of things, which given their name and history is understandable, but more and more irrelevant in the modern cloud driven world.

Having a web browser under an Free Software license is nice to have, but everything that matters is stored on the server side, which you have no access or control over.

The FSF, as far as I can tell, never did anything to address that. Even the AGPL, which didn't even originate from the FSF, still just addresses the source code side of things, not the data side of things. I am not even talking here about actual licenses here, but just a philosophical framework about how to deal with data that is on computers that aren't yours.

Somewhat surprising, politics got there first. The GDPR is actual law that tells you what you are and aren't allowed with user data. So we did get a bit of a happy end, but it feels like that would have been a fight in which the FSF could have played a more active role.

The FSF is still stuck in a model where you own and control your computer and data. But that's simply no longer the case, neither with cloud nor with smartphones.
You absolutely can put GPLv3 on there, check out this presentation:

Lots of clinics in Vancouver BC fully body MRI scans that are not super expensive. I really do think we should just make MRIs cheap and then get the whole world to do them.

I understand the cost, time, etc. but I still think if we can stop doing other useless stuff as humanity and do this it would be net positive.
I suspect that it is very "overblown" at this point. Russia are using shit equipment all over. Maybe they're afraid those "thousands of missiles" will land on their heads instead of where they're aiming it because they haven't been maintained for decades.

It is time that monetization in tech becomes and absolute given again.

I was not part of this community but I wish all the best to OP and his family.

Money solves problems and it shouldn't be considered bad to ask for a little compensation for upholding a service that thousands of people benefit from. That's the basis of anything meant to be sustainable. (I know lichess.org is an exception but tbh nobody knows for how long that's going to work out well.)
One can only learn a language one time, so I've got a hard time recommending first books.
But I definitely second the recommendation for the second book here ;)

Hanson's style is a bit idiosyncratic, with his somewhat Modula-3-ish naming style and literate programming use, but there are a lot of usable data structures in there, and I especially like that the focus is on the module level, not on the algorithms themselves.

Now, having said that, if you're in a particularly weird sub-domain of C, books from there might supersede or at least color a lot of what you're doing on a day to day basis. In the days of yore, if you wanted to do Win16/Win32 programming, getting to work with your Petzold early is a good idea, and I would assume the same to be true if you do glib/gobject based Gtk programming.

Two free resources that looked good to me and that I forwarded in the past were "An Introduction to the C Programming Language and Software Design"[1] by Tim Baily and "Beej's Guide to C Programming"[2]. Those are a bit more concise than your average intro to C book, but for some paths (prior experience, quick headway to C++ etc), they might be sufficient.

The problem with K&R is that it stops at C89, while C99 almost feels like a new and much "friendlier" language (mainly because of compound literals and designated initialization).

(e.g. shameless plug: https://floooh.github.io/2019/09/27/modern-c-for-cpp-peeps.h...)

K&R 2nd Edition is still a very good read of course, but mainly for all the little interesting details that are not directly related to the C syntax, but there really should have been a K&R 3rd Edition when C99 came around.
It doesn't look good when you're dismissing things you don't understand at all.

I think the recognition of “Apple showed that it’s not a big deal” would end similar to the one “The US showed that military invasions from superpowers into middle powers are not a big deal”.

The amount of raw effort that Apple put into making that transition _appear_ “no big deal” will be hard to adequately appreciate! It _noticeably_ affected software quality at least two MacOS versions prior (drop of 32-bit support and forcing all API accesses to go via their frameworks) and will have cost them hundreds of millions if not billions in engineering effort and unknowable amounts of lost sales in the mean time.

Yes it paid off. Obviously. But emulating their move, I’m not sure if there is even a single company able to do that.

I keep thinking these are good articles, I’d like to pay what for reading them.

But I’ve been too burnt by signing up for things, where you have to phone in to say you want to stop the subscription, which means changing phone contracts to make an actual call abroad beyond.

You can do 2.5G on a single lane of PCIe 3 (maybe also 2?). That makes it way easier to implement electrically.

Also, 2.5Gbit uses a lot less power (and generates less heat) than 10Gbit.
this makes sense.

I didn't think about why such comments are here. Just wanted to share that reading them on Friday evening was heartbreaking.

did I work with the same people in all the tech companies over the years?
why do they say those things?

RISC-V is an ISA free from toxic IP "à la" mpeg/hdmi/arm/x86 (only barbaric countries where this IP is legal though).

"Write RISC-V assembly, run everywhere..."

It seems they are cheeky people trying to link RISC-V with the current tensions between the US and China. China saw the opportunity of RISC-V and it is pushing hard (like literaly the entire world should). But RISC-V is a US initiative, with the obsvious intention to become a international standard for interoperability of CPUs as the assembly level, that extremely stable in time. India has also RISC-V CPUs, and if everything goes well for RISC-V, its spread should reach more and more CPU designers all around the world further in time. But ARM and x86_64 licence holders (where this licence is legal) may try to torpedo it (probably from the shadows ofc).

This is a very significant escalation.

With previous measures, the US government tried to at least superficially claim that it was reacting to specific national security threats ("We think that company X sells chips to the PLA."). There's no pretence any more, and it's clear that these new measures are aimed at sabotaging the entire Chinese semiconductor industry.

It remains to be seen how China will respond. Will it retaliate against American companies, such as Boeing, that do a large amount of business in China? Or will the Chinese government decide that these latest American actions only harm the US more than they harm China, and simply push ahead with its own indigenization efforts?
