I can't say I learned much by programming in C, if I even learned anything at all. Mostly I just grumble at the needlessly verbose and complex way of doing some things (e.g. anything with strings) and get annoyed by the syntax and quirks of the language and surrounding toolchain.

It is of course useful for a whole bunch of reasons, including being able to figure out "why does this do X?", but that's not really "deeper knowledge", IMO.
Glad you'll find it useful! Feel free to open an issue if you have any feedback later on ^^

Children in bars is perfectly legal in many countries around the world. Last night I was in a crowded pub with dozens and dozens of kids running all over while everyone 18+ was drinking plenty.

Are you suggesting the laws of one country should be enforced on all countries?

If you are, keep in mind the US is less than 5% of the worlds population, so it’s unlikely to be their laws which get enforced.
To me, he is one of the greatest writers in standup there ever was. Like Eudora Welty, his finished product is devoid of fat and gristle. You can’t really remove a word without losing the meaning of the text.

Virtually no one understands these days that he was quite wealthy before he had the TV show. He called himself “the most popular unknown comedian in America“ because he was absolutely killing it with corporate gigs and selling out his shows while absolutely not being a household name.
"It's too hard" isn't a valid reason for me to not follow laws and/or social norms. This is a predictable result and was predicted by many people; "oops we didn't know" is neither credible nor acceptable.
It’s not though? In the sim you can only kill civs with a lower power.
Quite some number of commenters answering the question from a moral/ethical perspective, which I think would be appropriate if this was a question of obligations between two reasonable members of society. However, I can't shake the feeling that in 2022, the relationship between employer and employee is not one of equal power characterised by employer good faith. We've seen time and time again that organisations do whatever they can to exploit and control employees, while simultaneously saying "We CareTM" and "It's just business". Also seems unfair to me that employees exercising their power in the employment market are being demonised as though they are realistically having a negative, material impact on society, when of late we're hearing of mass layoffs, but that's just companies being companies. Think I'll reserve my moral outrage..
The whole point of this experiment is not to create an environment where law can be skirted, but to create a new type of environment where the law cannot be violated at all, by anyone. And of course it will attract lawbreakers, we need them to test our security. "The law" as it exists now, written in the wind and enforced when convenient or profitable, needs to go the way of the dinosaur. The law as written in self enforced, freely entered agreements that is public to all and impossible yo viate sounds like a better system to me.

During peak time of corona, PM Modi was doing in-person election rallies during the day with thousands of crowds and giving a speech in evening to ask people to avoid gatherings.

This is a news article from April 19, 2021. [1]

>> Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi faces growing criticism across the political spectrum for holding large election rallies as the country’s health system reels from a deadly wave of Covid-19 cases, forcing citizens to beg for oxygen and hospital beds on Twitter.

>> Modi avoided wearing a mask at a campaign rally on Saturday, saying “I’ve never seen such huge crowds” at an event in West Bengal.

>> That night he said “India had defeated Covid last year and India can do it again” following a virtual meeting with health officials who spoke of critical shortages of drugs, vaccines and other supplies in a nation that has seen a string of new daily records in the past two weeks.

>> Modi was doing political rallies with large number of crowds when coron was at its peak in India.

In Feb Modi hosted Donald Trump with a gathering of 100,000+ Indians. [4]

>> AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - (Feb 2020) Donald Trump was cheered by more than 100,000 Indians at the opening of the world’s largest cricket stadium on Monday, promising “an incredible trade deal” and “the most feared military equipment on the planet” at his biggest rally abroad.

I wouldn't build a solution for the first interested prospect. Since he has an MVP but product market fit is unknown I would try to set up say 25 appointments using a consultative sales approach. If you can do that many 20min calls, face to face appointments or whatever and put yourself in the mindset of genuinely evaluating whether your product helps the prospect or not, at the end you'll know if this MVP is the right thing to sell or needs to be changed.

You need a lot of calls like maybe even more than 25 if the market is segmented, cause you might be right for one segment but not others.

This is great. Reminds me of QuickSilver[1]. I'm evaluating HomeRow[2] for a VIM driving the Mac OS, will try this as well.

I love how:

a. accessibility features are making the OS more accessible for everyone through automation

b. good the accessibility implementation is on the Mac that most applications are inherently compatible with solutions like this.

Putting something on that requires full immersion requires you to be able to fully block out time, and have physical space available, with all of the necessary equipment is effort. That physical space also needs to be a trusted space, since you're unable to know what's going on around you. For zoom, I can join on my cell phone, from basically anywhere.

That's too much effort to use.

If that's true, than Github is just "washing its hands". Not at all reassuring for copyright holders and users of copilot.
I think that’s more because any cost is acceptable if you are talking about the continuance of your civilization.

We could spend a million years building a single civilization destroying weapon, and it would still be worth it.

Since we’re not likely to encounter another civilization much more often.

Of course, humans couldn’t really stay interested in something that long, so the practical range is probably a few decades :P

Has anyone come across neat tools for load-testing streaming APIs?

We used https://github.com/hasura/graphql-bench and a set of scripts to monitor runtime characteristics of Hasura and Postgres, and reconciliation to make sure data was received as expected and in-order.

But would love to see if there's other tools that folks have come across!

Ok, If you count the total number of issues, I understand you point now.
Seems like you have omitted some information:

>> The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 was passed by the Parliament of India on 11 December 2019. It amended the Citizenship Act, 1955 by providing a pathway to Indian citizenship for persecuted religious minorities from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who are Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis or Christians, and arrived in India before the end of December 2014. [1]

Government of India amended a bill to allow Indian citizenship. They added a list of religions but somehow excluded only Muslims from that list.

I think the issue is mainly with the principle of asking someone to run a shell script to do an installation. People who are security-minded, will check the script first. Those same people know that most won't do that.
I think that model only works if the stable civilizations are advanced enough to survive arbitrary threats, otherwise they'll just get wiped out by chance over time and replaced with expansionist ones which are more robust against anything other than being systematically destroyed by something they irritated. ... plus to destroy an expansionist civilization you'd have to have significantly superior expansionist technology.

I.e. how do you destroy an expansionist fleet which has scaled up to the point that it's furthest point from you is increasing close to the speed of light?
This isn't super convincing to me. You're basically predicting that some new innovation will be limited in its usefulness, but you have no real way of knowing that, because the variables are too complex.

This is why we have a market. We let billions of individuals vote on what they think is useful or not, in real-time, multiple times a day, every day. If AI-generated images are less desirable than what came before, then people won't use them or pay to use them in the long run. They'll die like other flash-in-the-pan fads have died, artists will retain their jobs en masse, and OpenAI won't gain much if any power.

The entire idea of the market is to ensure that if some entity is gaining money/power, that's happening as a result of it providing some commensurate good to the people. And if that's not happening, or if the power is too great, that's why we have laws and regulatory bodies.

There is a fifth, incredibly common, (arguably) non-malicious possibility.

You don't control the entirety of your web stack, and your hosting provider, or DNS provider, or someone else, has decided to be 'helpful' (either blindly, or due to some misconfiguration somewhere along the line) and issue a certificate on your behalf, as they are able to intercept CA validation traffic at the DNS, TLS, or HTTP layer.

It does, but as I mentioned, Red-Hat and Android ship with bounds checking enabled via FORTIFY.

C was already a bad option in the mid-90's compared with the alternatives, it is due to the unfortunate adoption of GNU manifesto and POSIX systems that we got where we are.

Hence why the ultimate solution is to have hardware memory tagging for bounds checking, Solaris has been doing it for a decade, ARM is following along, including a collaboration with CHERI, only Intel borked their MPX design, and it seems not to be on RISC-V's radar.

Note that while defaults matter, and given the option one should rather use a safe systems language, if there are ways to do unbound accesses, there will always be some folks going that route because reasons.
I think this is a limited view. OPEC/OPEC+ controls about half of worldwide oil production and yet we can see how big of an impact production cuts that they make have on the price of oil. What we're seeing here is the same thing -- the ability for landlords to artificially reduce supply and force prices up. Just because there's software in the middle doesn't mean it's not a cartel.

Low res display on clothes. Conductive skin wrap. Wifi power harvesting posters. Projected keyboard grid these were cool. Vibration qwerty from bracelet. Vibrations felt from the desk. Doesn't make sense you need some way to see till Mojo contact is cheap, contacts suck though to put in/take out.

Hehe projected compute. You mount a projector on your ceiling, rotating mount has audio listener. Snap your finger, it goes to you, projects display on nearby space (cam), type on your legs by vibration and tap wall for mouse click. Also pointless why.

How does that make sense? Flat mirrors don't make things look further away than they are.
Any CPU can be compromised by its designers, and the owner cannot verify whether this is true or not.

All Intel and AMD CPUs are compromised from a security POV by features much more dangerous than the hardware RNG, i.e. by the existence of the System Management Mode and of the extra processors included in the CPU package, which can do absolutely anything in a manner that cannot be detected by the owner of the computer.

As long as Intel and AMD do not publish a complete documentation of how their remote management features work and as long as they do not allow the owners of the computers to control them, it can only be assumed that they can be backdoored.

Whatever documentation exists for those features, it appears to be provided only under NDA, presumably only to the companies which write remote management applications for large corporations.

Nevertheless, like for the hardware RNG, there are workarounds that can make very unlikely the exploitation of any hardware backdoor.

For example, if a computer with an Intel CPU is used in a router/firewall exposed to the Internet, it is prudent to not use any Intel Ethernet interface for the Internet interface. If there are only Intel Ethernet interfaces, an USB to Ethernet adapter can be used. This will prevent the use of the remote management by an attacker.

The same applies for the WiFi, for a secure router/firewall, any Intel WiFi must be disabled (e.g. by disconnecting the antennas) and replaced by a WiFi dongle.
I really wonder what all those people who said Microsoft acquisition of Github was a good thing for opensource think now. I'm sure there will still be mental gymnastics involved.
The solution to that is a rule set that users can select what they want and automated tagging. It is essentially opt-in moderation vs. chosen for you moderation. And it could become fairly sophisticated too! We are starting to see it in the form of subscribing to block lists on twitter.

Also in practice I think this is covered for %99 of cases people via an NSFW & NSFL tag system. That would be an NSFW art and thats that.

The children issue will boil down to parents are the real root user of their children's accounts and parents will have control over the tagging set for moderation until they are of age.

IMO I think most people are fine with mandatory labeling of goods, and actually welcome it because it gives more control and informed consent. It's the mandatory censorship that become the issue.

Abusive false labelling might become the next hot topic, but that is far smaller of a surface area.
Technically yes, but only by positing a spooky magic correlation that is unobservable and obeys no regular physical law. I mean, you can produce a theory that's equivalent to superdeterminism by taking a regular nonlocal hidden variable theory and saying "no, the information doesn't travel faster than light, it travels backwards in time along one particle's worldline to the point where the particles were together and then forward in time along the other particle's worldline, so that it ends up in a different place at the same time. Totally different from travelling faster than light!"

Time is finite. Learning C is not necessarily aligned with everyone's goals or path. For example, if I care more about building products than low level software it's probably not worth learning C unless I happen to be interested in it.

> It shouldn't have been there to begin with.

Actually, some sort of body of water has existed in the area intermittently for quite a long time. It's a low-lying area that was once the norther end of the gulf and was cut off by the Colorado's delta. Since that's happened, the lake's been filled several times by the Colorado flooding. It just so happens to be that the last time it was filled was right before the beginning of the Spanish period in the area, hence it never really entering the mind of the Spanish or later settlers as being a lake.

I think there's a bit of a lost opportunity here from being able to use some of the desalinated water for irrigation in Imperial Valley. That could help reduce some of the pressure on the Colorado and serve as a pilot project for getting more desal plants in California.
Just for another datapoint: I'm using one of the new zen4 cpus with Linux Mint. I'm still using the older 5.15.0-50 kernel but almost everything is working fine anyway. That said:

- I'm using an old dedicated graphics card (a RX480) instead of the integrated graphics on the CPU.

- The system hard crashes when I suspend then resume.

- Wow is it slow to POST. It takes about 20 seconds from when I power it on before grub shows up. Hopefully this gets fixed in a future BIOS version. (MSI hasn't updated the BIOS since release.)

- I also get a few warnings in dmesg about ACPI objects being already defined.

Other than that, everything feels solid. Sound, wifi and ethernet all work fine. All the cores show up and run great.
Would you not be able to solve this by having a messaging queue and getting the database to publish it’s updates?

Curious what products you’ve seen as well.
A good life doesn’t necessarily require lots of money. It depends on what you qualify as “good” in life. If driving a 2022 model car is good now but prevents you from reaching financial independence, is it truly good? Same holds for a house in a perfect location, vacations, etc.
> Why would you instead keep your manager in the dark?

Because you're already providing enough value to justify your wage even with padded estimates and slacking off (otherwise your manager wouldn't have been happy to begin with). They just want to get more out of you via the expectation of "reasonable best effort".

In other words, your 50% effort was already good enough to provide the company the value it needed (was willing to pay for), but some managers feel entitled to 100% if you demonstrate that capacity to them. So just don't.

And the reality is that many places don't genuinely need people's best. What they actually need is "good enough", and that's already reflected in the wage via profitable business outcomes that role contributes to. Time and effort have nothing to do with it.
Yea, all the BMWs I've had I imported European mirrors for. Much better.
>One thing that younger Canadians and foreigners don't seem to grasp is that Canada's economy is basically a handful of abusive corporations pretending to be a country.

That's also true for Europe.

If you look at the top companies in Europe, most are 50 to 100 years old, with a sensible portion of their stake still in the hands of the family of the founders. HMLV, Nestle, Porsche, etc. you name it.

Any new innovative company gets immediately bought by US or Chinese money as the local money is too busy speculating on real estate.

The article addresses why the Salton Sea needs to be saved:

> "Without more water, [some local residents and environmentalists] argue, the lake will continue to decline, and its retreating shorelines will expose growing stretches of dry lake bed that spew hazardous dust and greenhouse gases."
They say in this article:

the National Transportation Safety Board conducted
an investigation finding that the government should
not be actively restricting headlamp systems that
have been shown to have a safety benefit.

So I can imagine this sort of thinking coming down on
telsa's side of the argument.

Personally, although tesla does "market" their technology,
I think it is good technology that has probably not only
saved a fair number of lives, but also bumpers and fenders.

Looking at the storied history of the airbag, I think telsa
did a good job assisting the driver (and customer) when the status quo for other car manufacturers was to innovate at a snail's pace and implement safety features mostly when required.
