apple used to make these great deep-dive pdfs for new frameworks like core data, quartz (core graphics), even obj-c itself that explained many nuances and caveats of each subsystem/framework...

Same here, I handled covid fine, a full 2 years after it all started. Was 4 days of feeling lame with fever. Before I didn't take many precautions, stopped masking after it was obvious that the spread was mostly seasonal and cloth masks had no evidence behind them.

Now I've got an immune response based on the complete virus, rather than a no-longer-existing subunit of a single protein. I expect I'll fare better than the immune chaos of infinite boosters.

People at risk should take precautions of isolating, otherwise it's time to move on with life.
Right, my assumption is that we were talking about highway driving.
The innovation here isn't the automated pricing, but convincing all the landlords in an area to collude by sharing pricing and demand data with a central organizer. Humans could do the pricing and it would still be illegal collusion.
Google Maps also does this when the border is under contention. Selecting a country with a contested border like Ukraine or Russia will only highlight the country name, but selecting a country with uncontested borders like Poland or Germany will draw a red outline around the country.

Yes, you did, and while that's a reasonable approximation in some contexts, it is false in the general case, since division by zero has a side effect in the form of invoking undefined behaviour. (Arguably that means it has every possible side effect, but that's more of a philosophical issue. In practice it has various specific side effects like crashing, which are specific realizations of its theoretical side effect of invoking undefined behaviour.)

vikingerik's statement was correct:

> [If "Integer division [...] has no side effects",] Then C isn't following this rule - crashing is a pretty major side effect.
I love chilli but don't love a burning asshole, is there a way to work around it?
Is it really a cartel, or is it just landlords squeezing every penny that they can? With there being a lot of pennies to squeeze due to a double-whammy of supply shortages, and growth in wages for the upper 30% of society?

If people didn't have spare money, rents wouldn't be growing (As nobody would be able to pay), and if vacancies were higher, landlords would have to accept lowball offers.
As a proud Murican, I sincerely hope this nonsense doesn't affect "moderation" here. We fought a war of independence for a reason!

Showing up definitely helps but in my experience the transition from acquaintance to friend comes through a bonding moment where there was an emotional connection - either struggling through or achieving something together or vulnerability from one or both of you.

There are a lot of bad things about drugs and alcohol but one of the reasons I like them is they tend to enable/accelerate these moments.
Yes, steam-powered logging was earlier, and yes there was substantial harvest in northern California prior to 1900. But to say that "most of the old-growth forests gone by the turn of the century" is simply untrue. In Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, and most of the rest of the West, it had only just begun by that time. The big boom came with the world wars and the introduction of diesel powered machinery.

+ 1000x. This has been on my mind for a while. The problem of decision fatigue. I was trying to explain this to my parents and in-laws recently: If you go to a library, and there are

1. 2 books, how much time will you need to decide between the two?
2. 10 books, how much then?
3. 1000 books?

And does your happiness increase with the amount of choices?

How is it different from just eyeballing market price from looking at similar units, and renting yours out for +10-15% more? Is there some core part of US land policy that only works if landlords behave like low-information market participants?

If these landlords were colluding with eachother to punish defectors that undercut them, that would be a cartel. If they are all reacting to a shortage by raising their prices, that just makes them... Market agents.
Yes, I hear you on that. Unless you can hold your breath for while, it's tough to replicate that immersion.

Funny considering how Rust does stuff.

Both approaches have pros and cons. One either digs through a shitload of macros, or commits explicit auto generated code.

For what it's worth, while this code generator might not be great, github copilot is pretty damn good at handling wordpress already (no need to specialize it for a specific thing I guess).

We wrote about ~85% of our relatively simple Wordpress plugin[1] using Copilot with no prior WP knowledge, it took maybe 2 hours at most, it's pretty decent and works well, clients are happy. Just had to write a 3-4 line comments of exactly what we wanted, it got it almost right on the first try, it was able to handle writing and reading configuration from the database as well. The only thing it struggled with was posting binary file content which is understandable.

yep. this is what many of these people just continually fail to understand.

it’s just not fun being around abusive, abrasive, anti-social people constantly.

its not complicated. it’s not scandalous. it’s not shocking. people don’t enjoy being around anti-social rude people.

when they’re given an alternative where the promise is less shitty behaviors (the current iteration seems to be mastodon) then people go there, and this drives a certain group of people crazy.

what we should be asking is why it bothers them so strongly when some people say “i’m personally going to move away from that rude abrasive person over there.”

why are they so insistent that we spend our free time around abrasive assholes? they’re adamant about this. why?

To use an analogy people might be familiar with, it's like the birthday paradox; you can find two people with the same birthday without looking too hard, but it's a lot more work to start with one person's birthday and then try to find someone else with that exact birthday. Right now, we can fairly easily find pairs of MD5/SHA1 hashes that are the same, but it's not currently feasible to start with one input to the hash function and then find some different input that produces the exact same hash.

>> growth in wages for the upper 30% of society...

Which just means that the 1% can then extract as much of that 30% as possible returning the 29% right back tonwhere they effectively were before the growth (not to mention anyone that got a minimum wage increase)
> Land that is converted in to something else is the main deforestation

Apparently you can log an old growth forest, and "replant it" and it doesn't count as deforestation. That's the core of the issue here. The question is: should old growth be logged or preserved? The question isn't: should old growth be logged and replaced with brand new trees, which will, apparently, "preserve" the forest land.
"Although Axsome has not yet announced a price, it’s anticipated that it will be a relatively expensive product compared with generic SSRIs and SNRIs, which are very well-established on the MDD market.

This is insane gouging, as you could literally make it yourself by getting a prescription for generic bupoprion and some store-bought cough medicine.

You realize these two statements are equivalent, right?

> compiling certain source code inputs into bizarre nonsense

> winning at compiled-binary-execution-speed benchmarks, giving fewer reasons for people to hand-write assembly code for the sake of speed (assembly code is much harder to read/write and not portable), reducing code size by eliminating unnecessary operations (especially -Os), reordering operations to fit CPU pipelines and instruction latencies and superscalar capabilities

If you don't like the complexity of modern, leading-edge optimizing compilers, you are free to build or support a basic compiler that translates C code as literally as possible. As long as such compiler conforms to the C standard, you have every right to promote this alternative. Don't shame other people building or using optimizing compilers.
AVX512 doesn't itself imply Icelake+; the actual feature is FSRM (fast short rep movs), which is distinct from AVX512. In particular, Skylake Xeon and Cannon Lake, Cascade Lake, and Cooper Lake all have AVX512 but not FSRM, but my expectation is that all future architectures will have support, so I would expect memcpy and memset implementations tuned for Icelake and onwards to take advantage of it.

Either way it's price coordination, which is illegal.
Nothing else? The profit motive ("money") drives a _lot_, but does not explain everything. Different companies make different trade-offs; there are various ways to optimize profit for different audiences with different risk profiles.

My point? Don't oversimplify. Few (any?) people here are claiming that ethics are the key driver. We know the PR and ads are a veneer. But there is no need to exaggerate.

It is clear that in addition to making money, Apple wants to project a certain brand and ethos, not to mention a penchant for big moves. At times, they are willing to risk some profit in order to invest in, say, a new processor technology.

WRT "explanation" / ie
interpreting the why behind actions ... Not all large companies make those kind of investments or take these kind of risks. Saying "money" is the only driver fails to account for much of Apple's storied history.

Not to mention prediction... Saying that the profit motive is the best or only way to explain Apple (and many other companies) defies multivariate statistics and won't serve well to predict the future.
Hi, great article. Regarding char, I'd remark that getchar() etc return int so it can return -1 for EOF or error.

I'm pretty sure this implies int as a declaration is always signed, but tbh I'm not completely sure!

I hate to break it to you, but outside of gaming, fluid sim, and battery life / power draw tests, nothing else matters for modern chips. Schmucks only need the kind of horsepower a phone is capable of, or want to know how long it will last. The only people who care about performance either really care because more perf = more dollars (fluid sim, hft, etc.) or they're gamers.
The distinctions you're bringing up seem kind of perfunctory to me.

The wanker at the twitter office that was presumably appointed by twitter management to do that, yes? And some people want to appeal to that particular seat of power to influence and limit discourse along some dimension, within twitter.

And yet other appeals to higher powers, such as governments - control communication with deeper consequences across broader domains.

What's legal or illegal evolves with politics and culture. So there's no fundamental purchase there for the kind of moral conversation you were trying to elicit.

If in a few years the people you accuse of wanting to control other people's speech are able to get some laws passed making the speech they want controlled properly illegal, I'd venture you would resist accepting that as suddenly legitimate - even if those things would be "straight up illegal" at that point.

I guess I should have been more explicit in the first response - but what I'm suggesting is that this conversation is better had in less absolutist terms than what you proposed. There was the implication that the other person somehow inherently wanted to control communication in a qualitatively different way than you (or I did).

That's not to go down the path of sophistry - but just to suggest to orient the conversation around where the boundaries should be placed in practical terms, and discuss where the differences in boundaries lie and on an issue by issue basis evaluate that, rather than absolutist/ideological terms.

"You want to control speech (and I don't)" doesn't really lead anywhere in terms of discourse. It's a dead end.
The aforementioned used Mustang is/was good for 250k more miles after purchase and 20 more years, too, but it didn't cost as much as a new Corolla does, even adjusted for inflation.

I've driven both. I'll take the Mustang on that alone, even though gas mileage is better in the Corolla.

Naturally, I've done maintenance and repairs on a Mustang from the mid-90s. I'm guessing you haven't. I've only done minimal repairs on a new Corolla. The Corolla loses there, too.

Strike 3 really is the price. Given all this, you'd think the one with these downsides would be cheaper or something. Otherwise, you're putting one car up against a less desirable one, except it also costs more money? Would you pay extra for the privilege of having a bird shit on you while you walk down the street—where not paying means trudging through your day shitless? The choice is simple.

With lots of things in life, you expect there to be some sort of tradeoff involved. With food, for example, maybe something tastes great but it's bad for you, or vice versa. It doesn't always work like that, though.

New cars are like chicken-fried steak in a competition with salad: no pros, all cons. I hate chicken fried steak, and if you hate chicken-fried steak, too, but your view of the world is one where tradeoffs are axiomatic and inescapable, then the natural outcome is to find yourself probably on the cusp of thinking that you should, like, eat more chicken-fried steak, even though you don't like it—or more precisely: because you don't like it. But that's crazy, and you shouldn't! Something can both taste bad and be bad for you while other things (like a salad) can be better for you and be delicious. It turns out there's actually lots of stuff like this, and the car market in 2022 is one of them.

Barring any changes (like Bezos taking a personal interest in fixing this problem and making the hypothetical Costco car a real thing), fuck the whole industry.

> I'm curious what new car you consider to be "basic". I'm guessing none

Right.
Unless I’m missing something, it isn’t any different, other than it makes the market more efficient (in that the price gets set “correctly” earlier - by the manual method, a landlord likely over-prices initially and waits for a tenant OR underprices initially and loses that income).

It’s just in a broken market - there isn’t enough supply of housing, so prices are going up. And because everybody needs housing, it feels icky to many people (I’m one of them, but my solution would be relax zoning and allow more housing).

Unless using this system requires participants to set a price, I’m not sure it meets the definition of price fixing. A landlord can still underprice to guarantee a tenant quickly. Or overprice in the hopes they catch a low-info, high-income tenant.
