Because char is loaded here. It is the minimum addressable bit size. So they need to do it because it is faster and cheaper to address larger chunks. The issue in the article is that calls to fputc/fwrite to a binary file will truncate to 8bits still on some of those platforms.

A byte type that is always 8bits would be a better approach, i think. But c++ bungled this too, it is the size of a char still. I dont think it should exist on systems that cannot address 8bits
I started using ack about 14 years ago, so theres a lot of inertia there. It is slower than the others, but it was so much faster at the time for searching through source trees than grep.

For log colorizing, I make use of the --color-match and --passthru arguments, like https://powdahound.com/2009/10/colorize-log-output-with-ack/

Hey! Thanks for your reply!

What I mean by that is that while we have blockchain & crypto as supporting parts of the project, these are not the primary focuses of the project. Your feedback is good though, and I'll make sure to make that clearer in the future.

I am sharing this open letter on a few forums to share about the project, so yes, I did copy/paste this message! But thanks for letting me know about the links, I'll share them in a comment below.
> Hey, thanks for the help.

You are welcome.

The last important note: Github is private property of Microsoft, not public space (for PS exists some regulations, based on right of free speech), so they could remove Your rep, just because in MS decide, and don't need to wait law enforcement.

So You might consider some other platform to host Your code, more friendly for hackers. I suggest to ask HN community about such spaces.

> competitive programming teams trying to dominate the most visible event

What fantasy world is this? :D

Competitive programming teams, afaik, exist in the context of universities and they want to win ACM-ICPC, that's pretty much it. Otherwise, competitive programming is largely a solo affair.

In an event that yields no prize whatsoever, winning is just for bragging rights. There are no bragging rights in winning as a team against solo competitors.

Also, you only have one problem per night and AoC problems are too easy for it to make sense to have a team collaborating. The only thing a team would do is take the minimum solution time of their participants.

Why are you assuming that the labor market = the healthcare market?

I completely agree that "healthcare" is not a very free market. But we are not talking about buying medicine or medical procedures, are we?
an ideology that lines up far better with Silicon Valley than with Wall Street.

An interesting observation. My take is that even though Wall Street has unfathomable levels of hubris and poor ethics, it understands CYA.

Fintech on the other hand...
False.

With population decline and a shrinking workforce, the labor market takes time to readjust to the new norm of lower wealth (because lack of labor in one area means less output of services/goods).

For wages to increase taxes have to increase which also reduces viability of certain low margin businesses and further decreases societal wealth in that area of the economy. It’s all a trade off under the new reality.

Framasoft, We Develop PeerTube and Promote FLOSS from France: Ask Us Anything
The last post on PeerTube was apparently deemed interesting, so I thought a Framasoft AMA would be welcome.
This particular question was more interesting than mere Wikipedia fact. The original source is quite archaic and difficult to understand. It would have been funny and useful if the machine could read it better than modern humans.
Whatever Electron supports I suppose.
Any real data about it? Can you backup somehow this thesis? I experienced only old school managers hating part time employees in Germany.
Gut-felt cynicism mostly, I think.
I find it a bit surprising that only a few people knew about this code change. I expect other engineers found that piece of code and probably didn't ask any questions. It's normal after working on a codebase for a while to explore all the different branches. It takes a few years though, from what I gather the codebase was only 2-3 years old, so it's possible no one noticed.

I think this revelation points to the further guilt of SBF and his excuse that "he was incompetent" will fall face down under scrutiny.
I use intellij on Linux and macos.

It looks mostly ok, but on Linux it doesn’t support smooth scrolling (even though this is supported by gtk). You also can’t use the meta key (windows key / cmd) as a modifier key for keyboard shortcuts. So I can’t configure intellij to use all the keyboard bindings I’m used to from macos. Again, this isn’t a problem with other gtk apps. It’s just (apparently) a platform limitation of whatever Java toolkit they’re using.

So in my experience it’s 95% of the way there. I certainly prefer it over Xcode, but it has issues that native apps don’t have.

They should have never gone public with what they have currently. Metaverse might have had potential but none of that matters anymore as people associate with an ugly, buggy mess of a product that does nothing special. It's already a laughingstock in the eyes of their prospective clients and I have no idea what they'd have to do to clean up their public image. You can't really hype up legs - LEGS - as your killer feature and expect people to take you seriously.

It seems to me Mac users care about using native UI toolkits more so than Linux or even Windows users. I would suppose that has to do with how polished and integrated that platform is.

As a Linux user I really don't care if you use GTK for the UI. I've long given up on customizing the look and feel of my system to the point that application integration matter.
The lengths he does to blame CZ and Ray is pretty telling. He really seems to still be in massive denial. The idea that he could still raise billions to make customers whole and that this pesky chapter 11 technicality is getting in the way also seems insane.

>If he can get that money using his stock as collateral then he does have it in cash.

The literal opposite is true. If he has to sell his stocks it means he does not have it in cash. If you are using your house as collataral, you do it precisely because you lack the money in cash.

The only way to reduce his networth bellow a billion is seizing stock in his companies grom him. Him paying money is the exact same thing, just with an additional (likely devastating, for him and the company) step.

The real question is whether you want the government seizing corporations from individuals.

Free Speech Warrior Elon Musk Bans Twitter Account That Tracked His Private Jet
It's on the brink of going under from what I can tell.

People like the product, but they aren't making nearly enough for how much money they burn. If the recession hits and funds dry up, I think it's game over.
And not just Google, or per the article Amazon and Apple. While I'm long out of the Windows ecosystem (my Year of the Linux Desktop was a decade and a a half ago), it's been noted it has partly changed from a product you use to get your stuff done to a platform to sell you more stuff from Microsoft, plus whatever they might be doing or will do with its build in advertising.
To me this shows the flaws of a narrow-minded focus on competition. There is little video streaming services can do to distinguish themselves without exclusive access to content (sure, UI tweaks and the like, but most of the time the UI is not even visible by design), so the anticipated result of more competition is the content splinters across a greater number of services.
If anybody in the universe is doing interstellar travel I think they would have developed D-D fusion which is somewhat more difficult than D-³He or D-T fusion but probably possible with the a scaled up version of the same machine.

Outside the frost line there is a lot of water and a higher percentage of D relative to H so it seems possible to "live off the land" between the stars without being dependent on starshine. A D-D reactor would produce ³He and T, a lot of those products would burn up in the reactor because the reaction rates are high but it would probably be possible to separate some of those out and use it as a breeder reactor that makes fuel for D-³He and D-T reactors elsewhere. I could picture the big D-D reactor running on a large comet or dwarf planet like Pluto producing D-³He for smaller reactors on spacecraft. (D-T not only produces a lot of neutrons but the T has a half life of 12 or so years and won't last for long journies.)

My guess is that interstellar travelers would develop a lifestyle that works around the frost line, where generic bodies above a certain size have liquid water inside. If they were grabby they might consume Ceres or Pluto but might not really care about dry, idiosyncratic worlds like the Earth and Mars.
This has been discussed on HN previously, but the trailer and launch date (Jan 19) were just released a few days ago.
You need to learn how to manage up. My VP could care less about API-driven design, etc.. I tell him that our system is designed with latest enterprise standard that meet user requirements, met the budget, delivered on time and as long as I hit his metric. He doesn't care. He leaves me alone and praise my work.

Now, this only applies to VP and above, if your EM is L1 or L2 and doesn't know the system, time to switch team.
> What GPL brings to the table is strict openness, not compatibility.

I kinda wonder where this has been an issue with LLVM re: non-public toolchains, and public code where it wouldn't also be an issue with GCC. FWIW I definitely could see it being an issue in HPC/graphics/ML.

> I also wonder whether people would be this reactive to this issue if $company announced a closed source compiler with strict rustc compatibility.

Call me dense -- I guess I don't understand precisely what you're getting at. I don't think anyone would use a closed source compiler with strict rustc compatibility without a pretty big carrot. I think the issue here is strictly compatibility/divergence. Although I'm personally less of a fan of GCC/GPL/FSF, I think a new compiler is great so long as it doesn't (completely) ruin some of the nice things about a single implementation system, and why rust_codegen_gcc seems much more appealing.

Many Rust people don't want to live in the C/C++ compiler world, because they don't have to. "Oops this code won't build with GCC" is a battle they'd just as soon avoid.

It's not far-fetched at all.

It has become increasingly common on social media where a post that does not directly call for violence, still triggers all kinds of real world harassment. Musk himself is guilty of this too.

The right to be forgotten is not designed for high profile public figures, quite the opposite. Public figures in a way are always screwed from a privacy/reputation point of view.

Instead, the right to be forgotten is to protect common people. Maybe as a teenager when drunk you posted something stupid on social media. Which shouldn't haunt you for the rest of your life. Maybe a nude photo got leaked. Maybe you made a mistake at work, and don't want to be unhirable for the rest of your life.
Ask HN: What's You Life's Work?
What's you life work?

What is it that you're working on, be it an area, company, game, language, subject, cause etc. That you expect to work until the end of your life?

Starting with me it's a little bit hard. I have so many interests that picking a single one out of all of them is hard. But I plan on working on companies, causes, philosophies, books, areas etc.

Some of the areas I'm interested in are: Intelligence, IQ, Collective Intelligence, Knowledge Management, Writing, Sleep, Comics, AI, Game Design, Meta Cognition, Zettelkasten, Linguistics, Design, Coordination etc.

My current project is: https://github.com/ilse-langnar/notebook.
It's a mixture of Roam Research, Obsidian, Emacs, VSCode(in the future), Figma etc.

I plan on making an online mode for people to share and collaborate with other people being as easy as sharing a link. I don't plan on making this my "Life's Work" because I believe other opportunities will arise as I go in life.

Examples:
- Minecraft(Notch)
- RimWorld(Tynan Sylvester)
- C++(Bjarne Stroustrup)
- Java(James Gosling)
- Linux Kernel(Linus Torvalds)
- SpaxeX, Tesla(Elon Musk)
- Growth Mindset(Carol Dweck)

So ... here it is, what's something you're so dedicated to that you're willing to call it "your life's work"?
Now add in the 50% efficiency of conversion of heat to electricity (and that's very optimistic), and it's only 1.5 megajoules, or 0.5%, right where I calculated it based on initial information.

IANAP, but I see no path forward to sufficient Q-total using plasma fusion to put this to any practical use. Unless the reaction can somehow be self-sustaining, I do not believe this will ever work.
I live in New York City, I commute on the subway everyday, I do not make a high salary, and I do not live in an affluent area.

If I drove to work instead of taking the subway, it would cost a full order of magnitude more per year, and my commute time would increase by a factor of 2. I have never felt unsafe on the subway, but then again I am a white guy. That said, my wife has no problem hopping on the subway with our 6 month old son on her own and has never complained.
This is analogous to the argument for guns in every classroom. Sure it can help in some cases, but is it worth the risk when we know it will be abused?

It’s Firefox with every privacy setting turned to max.
Sounds good until you get to the edge cases. For instance, GVA is in two countries at the same time.
Electron, WebKit, nope.

Kudos for experimenting with minimalism!

But this is not the alternative to Firefox I've been looking for.
I very rarely have to cut video. I used to use vidcutter, but I now use LosslessCut. My experience with LC has been far better than with vidcutter. I've never even considered going back to vidcutter. I don't entirely disagree with your criticism, however the reality of the usage can easily outweigh these points (for me, obviously). Which is just to say I would recommend trying it if you haven't.
Can you provide any source/documentation on how to achieve this?

As far as I know Electron is based on Chromium. And Chromium doesn't use native controls, it has its own custom controls that sometimes look similar to native controls.

As others pointed out, I nitpicked the one place in Scandinavia that would actually get cold, to make the comparison fair. Places further north than Rovaniemi (my example) that are closer to the ocean, like Tromsø, have milder winters due to the moderating influence of the Gulf Stream.

This is a fairly well-known concept. From a starting place in Europe, usually one has to travel 10-15 degrees of latitude south to find similar winter temperatures in North America. See:

- Helsinki, Finland vs. Syracuse, NY: 17 degrees of latitude

- Warsaw, Poland vs. Pittsburgh, PA: 12 degrees

- Berlin, Germany vs. Roanoke, VA: 13 degrees

You have to go into Russia to find truly cold winters. Kazan, probably the coldest major city in the European side of Russia, has similar winter temperatures to Edmonton, AB, only two degrees further south.
I like it a lot even though almost all of my functions have no dispatch (only one implementation) or single dispatch (implementation differs based on the type of just one of the arguments).

Firstly I like the aesthetic and implications of f(x, y, z) over x.f(y, z). I like that f is its own thing and not a property of x.

Secondly, it's really nice to be able to reach however far down the callstack you need to go to patch some function "owned" by someone else to act correctly or more efficiently with whatever your type is. You can get correct code most of the time with single dispatch and well-thought-out interfaces, but getting interfaces right in advance is really tricky and requires coordination with other users of the interface whereas multiple dispatch can often work well without much coordination and can also handle cases where you want the implementation to vary dramatically based on the type (the OneHotVector in Karpinski's "Unreasonable effectiveness of multiple dispatch" talk is an example of this).
GiffGaff have been great. I've used them for years with basically 0 faults. not encounter any stupid policies or reasons to need to contact support everything is just so easy. signal could be a bit better in small british towns (the city is fine, 5g is fast when it works) but not so bad that i'd ever consider switching away + they increased my data allowance twice without increasing the price.
did a brief stint with vodafone, as i got staff discount. it was shit. not because of the actual phone service but because it's so difficult to do anything admin related with them and if you think you'll just go into a store to do admin think again. the stores can't do anything other that sell you stuff. STAY AWAY
CCS chargers are unreliable. 75% plus can be broken at any one time. Sometimes you get to a station and find out every single charge is busted. Hope you have charge to go to another!

Tesla chargers.. never heard of a station being dead. If it was, the in-app nav would reroute you.

The difference is Tesla cares about charge quality. CCS network made to settle Diselgate? No one really cares or puts in the effort to keep them all 100% up.

Yeah, I worked for an agency around the same sort of time and saw exactly the same kind of thing.

I remember one site that saved all the CC and order details to a plain text file in the web root. This was opened using an FTP programme every evening and someone would run the numbers through the machine in their store and post out the orders...
"[...] there seems to be a way for it to be slightly self aware."

"raise billions to make customers whole" also still means fraud; he's taking investor money and giving it away. The purpose of invested funds is to improve the business, with a long-term goal of returning more than you were given to investors. Not doing that is the definition of securities fraud.
You shouldn’t put so much blame on individuals. The excess death are mostly a result of really poorly executed public health policies and messaging. Government officials, lied to everyone and sowed a lot disinformation and that caused mistrust and poor infection control. The resulting public health chaos resulted excess death, and people believing all sorts of wacky stuff.

Typing go/wiki is faster than typing "wiki" in my search bar and hitting the down arrow 5 times for the correct autocomplete answer. I found the bigger (unexpected) value of something like this to be that when I don't know what I want, someone else is likely to have defined it already. E.g. go/401k at my employer takes me right to the wiki page about our 401k plan with a link to our provider prominently at the top. Nobody told me this existed, I simply needed info about our 401k plan and assumed someone, at some point, would have created it. Sure, I could bookmark it or something, but simply typing go/401k "just works" for me. It's also really nice for new hires who don't have some super robust autocomplete history already built up.

That's the value prop.
If China is able to ban all western social media because of “law” then per definition any law that stops Chinese social media is also “legit” if we go by the argument that it is okay to ban things if the law says to ban them.
