With php its very little difference except that you run Windows and get all the benefints from that regarding drivers and software support, i have yet found an equaly good database manager on linux as heidiSQL(it is unstable in wine) for ex. Also it "feels" easier to click on the wamp installer and just run it from there compared to sudo apt install xyz.

With C# the difference is huge since you just need to install visual studio and you have everything you will need, with the best tooling there is.
Ask HN: Best Digital Banks for Nomads?

Some people don't drive them, they just enjoy working on them for the engineering aspect. Same way Linux people tinker with their setups. ;)

Some people haul them to tracks for vintage racing.

And then yes, some people drive them.
Already largely possible. If you know some dependency has a vulnerability you could look for projects with that dependancy and try to attack it.

Really the only difference here is in scale and complexity. Potentially LLMs could identify more novel security holes and generate more complex and less suspicious exploits.

But take something obvious like SQL injection. There are plenty of bots out there which will crawl the web looking for websites they can exploit with SQL injection. Same thing happens to security cameras with default passwords.

But I agree this is likely to be a huge problem going forward. I already see LLMs trying to scam people online and I'm sure there are many people using LLMs to try to find and exploit vulnerable projects as we speak.

> That GDP does not increase my quality of life

It sure as hell does for the millions employed thereby, as well as those who catch their spending.
> The post is ostensibly about GDP growth. However, if you read the comments both here and on Twitter you’ll see that we humans are quick to jump from cold economic facts of GDP into more broad points about economic stagnation.

I can't seem to read the twitter comments but I don't really see that here, at least in top level comments it seems to be all people who are quick to jump from that to making excuses or trying to rationalize why these numbers are "bad".

I don't know what would be the problem with talking about economic stagnation though, significant differences in GDP growth between ~comparably advanced economies doesn't seem like a bad starting point for that, does it? I notice you didn't actually reply to such a comment, but even so I don't know why you would bring life expectancy into GDP stagnation either. There's certainly a fairly strong correlation and almost certainly causal relationship, but nobody seems to be confusing GDP with the sole driver of life expectancy or believe that GDP tells "the whole story". So it seems like a weird thing to bring up, you could also bring up wheat production and point out that it isn't fixed to GDP, because it also doesn't tell you that story.

Both are flawed proxies for QoL but PPP less so.

Canada and France have better QoL than Guyana at similar PPP GDP because of more equal distribution. They also happen to have higher non-PPP GDP but it's unrelated - it's accidental that in this case PPP normalization modifies the PPP GDP comparison to correlate less with QoL difference.
Yeah, but people rely on it more and more, so it's going to shape society.

Imho its pretty simple: Strings in C are 0-terminated char arrays. If the char array is not 0-terminated, its not a string.

strncpy() can make a string into a non-string (depending on size), which is clearly bad.
I agree with this review. I liked the action scenes. The storyline was a bit weak, the evil AI that looked like an eyeball pupil and iris was a bit dumb - but overall I only went for entertainment purposes and I was entertained enough. $13 well spent.

Oh yeah because Disney lost all its money and went out of business because they decided to have some black and gay characters.

Actually no, the right-wing snowflakes lost their tiny fragile little minds because there was a gay black person in a film instead of someone straight out of 1950s propaganda.

What you describe is similar to what beagle3 described. A world where patterns exist and slowly fade out.

But that is not the reality of the stock market. See my reply to beagle3 for two ways to counter this view.

Specifically to your point that patterns exist but do not reverse: Then one could make money by just trading against the pattern. If no "punishment" comes down the line in form of a reversed pattern, there would be no risk.

The simplest example would be a hypothetical irrational bull market euphoria. More and more new investors come in under the assumption "OMG! Every day the prices are higher than yesterday!". If that pattern would not reverse, there could not be an "irrational euphoria" because prices would either rise forever or stay on the highest level. So it would be only rational to join the choir. Much to gain, nothing to lose.
> a bad one can literally wipe you off the face of Earth

This is where living in western Europe helps a lot. But yes, you have to take care of more things yourself. If you cannot maintain a financial buffer of at least a few months, I would not advise starting off on your own just yet.

People without smell have a far higher chance of dying (statistically) in any given year than people with smell.

This article suggests that loss of smell might be an indicator of various brain diseases (which then might also kill you). However, other leading theories are that without the ability to smell, there is a much higher chance of eating bad food or toxins, contaminating things with faeces or chemicals, or otherwise harming yourself in ways smell would have prevented.
Perfumes, some deodorants (e.g Axe), and candles are the worst for me. I have to stop breathing and protect my eyes when entering department stores, for some reasons they often have a large area full of perfumes directly at the entrance.

The question is whether “Is it to your advantage to switch your choice of doors?” but the objective is not specified. Do I want to get the car? Do I want to get a goat? The latter objective is compatible with the problem statement.

Let’s say that it is amended again to fully specify the objective. Is it well posed now?

We are not told how the contestant picks a door and how the person responsible for putting the car and the goats behind the doors makes the choice.

There are multiple ways that the choices may have been done which are compatible with the stated run of events. It’s not a given than the location of the car and the door selection are independent.

The contestant may have seen the car, or may have heard the goats, and may have used this knowledge to pick a door. Or maybe the contestant doesn’t knew anything and it was the producer who knew that the contestant would pick door #1 because that’s his lucky number or whatever and intentionally put the car there or avoided doing so.
In general, if you are having important discussions on someone else's box, the question is not if but when you will wish you had been keeping independent archives.
I half agree with you, but if we're only talking about death and accident prevention it would be worth it to look at other highly developed countries that have much lower accident rates (there are quite a few that have much lower numbers, both per capita and per mile).

Of course, copying these countries will take time, especially because half the problem is the terrible drivers education and lax enforcement which precludes quite a few measures.

Things that could be done right now are:

* designing roads to calm traffic (bends and such): highly effective at reducing pedestrian/cyclist accidents

* building proper separated bike paths

* mandatory inspections in all states. a non-negligible % of accidents are caused by defective vehicles

* mandating and actually enforcing minimum following distance on highways

* banning modifications like steel plate grills (basically a human-crushing ram)

* scrapping the entire tax and regulation scheme that lead to the size wars in trucks and SUVs

Then there are things like replacing more STOP signs with YIELD, roundabouts, giving bike paths green lights together with turning traffic (requires drivers to look in their blindspot and yield) and lane discipline. Those broadly reduce frustration and fatigue which helps people stay calm.
> Instead of thinking of that as the "problem" -- maybe it's an "opportunity".

This reminds me of that meme where the hero have an alcohol „opportunity” ^_^
those fees go somewhere though. of course apparently almost all of that goes into the pockets of the upper 10%, and they then spend it on PACs, country club memberships, golf carts, boats, etc.

but then even those go somewhere, and apparently almost all of that goes back to the US economy through underpaid semi-legal wages. (and then some of that goes back to countries where the undocumented immigrants' are from, and then that goes to pay for plane tickets, so more people can try their luck in the US.)

Wine does all of that though for Windows, even when the syscall structure and caveats or compatibility fixes for the Win32 APIs are unknown.

With Linux, all the syscalls and their bugs are documented, at least in the commit history, if not the man pages.

I did notice that AI 'art' basically got less interesting as it got 'better' (read: higher fidelity). The collages of conceptual spaces in the article are infinitely more interesting than any of the prompt-driven attempts from the popular models. They actually communicate something about the thing they're depicting by showing the ways in which the model deviates from it. That's a real artistic expression.
Not really; he was frequently a jerk right out of the starting gates for no particular reason. That quote is the initial reply to the proposed patch, and the only "reason" I see for the insults is to satisfy Drepper's own emotional needs. It's petty and pathetic.

This is very different from e.g. Torvalds who sometimes rants a bit after someone who he feels ought to know better screwed up. I'm not saying that's brilliant either, but I can be a lot more understanding when people are abrasive out of passion for their project after something went wrong.

Bouldering

It’s such an easy way to keep in shape, meet people, problem solve and relax.

I mostly do indoor climbing, but outdoors is fantastic as well.

Also, I specifically mention bouldering because it is a lot more social than rock climbing with ropes.
I think rules like this can be useful. I'm also wary of new things, as in freshly popular materials, like a new type of coating on non-stick pans. Another "rule" is that the more processed something is, the more removed it is from the original thing, then it probably lost its useful quality, no matter how much it resembles the original thing.

Regarding artificial vs natural, looking for natural stuff can be a good rule of thumb, but the "appeal to nature" is a logical fallacy for a good reason. Lots of natural things are bad for us, and because we already live in a pretty artificial environment, other things need to be adjusted too, because natural ways sometimes only work in natural environments.

Substitutions, like diet coke, can also be a trap. When the premise is that I can just do away with harmful X, by substituting it with Y, and have basically the same thing, then I'm always watchful. Usually there's no free lunch.
That's really not the best analogy. More like a cancer: a part of you that shouldn't even be there to begin with.
Microsoft developers might be interested in improving software, but Microsoft the business is interested in partnerships and making money off people using Windows.
I have also worked as a contractor (In Denmark, though). Working as a contractor in software development is rather forgiving, as there are only insignificant expenses. Therefore I can report most / all of my revenue as profits and pay full income tax. Knowing the basics of the Danish tax code, I can estimate my contribution and just pay it on a monthly basis to SKATs (Danish IRS) bank account. EOY I will report all my deductions, banks report all my capital gains, etc. and SKAT calculates the tax true rate and automatically pays me back within a week. If I forgot something, I can change merely change my reporting and everything is recalculated instantly.

However, hearing about the systems in other countries makes me appreciate the Danish system.
> Correct string handling means that you always know how long your strings are

Well, I couldn't think of a stronger argument against NULL terminated strings than this. After all, NULL terminated strings make no guarantee about having a finite length. Nothing prevents you from building a memory mapped string that is being generated on demand that never ends.
Not in all of EU: at least in Finland, the tax office clarified a long time ago that if the papers (business registration, contracts, insurances etc.) are done properly, the number of clients doesn't matter.
This is me, I couldn't care less about massive multinational corporation employing me, it could go bankrupt tomorrow for all I care. But there are those annoying bills, mortgages, vacations, hobbies or just saving for retirement. Remove salary and I will stop working for my employer immediately. I am also not breaking my back to have stellar career, paycheck is enough. I did it for 20 years for various employers, can handle doing it for another 20 till (hopefully earlish) retirement.

But am I depressed? Not at all, because all the free time I get (which often included rather long lunch breaks spent ie running or weightlifting) I try to fill with family and my passions (which are not yet fully compatible things so its often either-or). Its mindset (doing work is OK, it doesn't have to be super exciting) and those passions. But it took me half a decade to discover them, most are adrenaline/extreme sports. TBH I don't know that many middle aged people with real fulfilling passions, that may be the source of problems.

For years people have been making travel blogs based on where they've visited and the practical information they've discovered, like experiences of visiting attractions or good places to stay in cities or how they got from one place to another. They monetised with ads and affiliate links so they could travel more based on that income.

In LLM land, they get no monetisation any more because nobody visits their sites, instead the LLM just regurgitates the answers they found.

The search engines actively supported these authors, by sending them people who needed the answers they had.

So in LLM land this information goes away because the feedback loop of the traveller creating information which earns them money to continue travelling goes away.

A LOT of the useful information on the web was built on similar feedback loops and they go away in LLM land.
One of the things I like from the (g)olden days of the web is how navigation links always had text. They could be accompanied with images or icons (like it is on this website) but the text would definitely be there, often below the icons and sometimes beside them.

Nowadays, more and more websites are moving towards replacing the text links with icons. And some of these icons are so simple and abstract that sometimes it is hard to tell what they even mean! For example, the default GMail web interface once had simple text buttons with options like "Archive", "Report Spam", "Delete", etc. Now it has tiny icons instead. While the bin icon is probably obvious to everyone (if not, it means "Delete"), there is an icon with a tiny down arrow in a tiny box that I would normally guess means "Download" but turns out it is "Archive" instead. There is another icon with a tiny right arrow in a tiny box. I would normally guess that means "Forward" but turns out it is "Move to". (Move to what? Move to a label!)

GitHub too recently adopted this trend. It had very clear and obvious text navigation links earlier. Now we find little icons instead. One of them is an irregular but symmetrical hexagon with three line segments within it. Can you guess what it is? Turns out it is a badly drawn envelope that means "Notifications". There is another one with a little dot in a circle. Until I hovered over it to read its tooltip, I had no idea that it means "Issues"!

Good communication is 80% of the job for sure. Managing expectations is your own secret weapon. A good communicator can give themselves plenty of time and the client will be happy about it. Poorly communicating timeframes will have people distrusting and frustrated, and you'll be under pressure to boot.
No, they came factory fitted with an electronic fuel injection system from VW, but these were almost impossible to repair or diagnose.
Short answer: it may certainly be the case that growing up in first-world countries more easily primes people for later midlife crises with their greater societal focus on wealth, status, fame, materialism, etc.

Longer answer: I don't think it's a matter of "affording" or "not affording" per se, but likely depends on your younger-self's expectations and life goals, which are completely free and up to you, you can desire and daydream about whatever you want (though environment and nature of upbringing will certainly have an influence); the "crises" comes from realizing that your expectations and hopes may very well never come to fruition, and whether or not you can deal with that. Maybe they were unrealistic or selfish expectations to begin with and you should let them go, maybe you actually made some serious life mistakes with big costs and have to accept that. Maybe you're still caught up in bad habits and have to reassess your values. Whether or not you can "afford" any of that is also up to you. So it likely depends on what exactly your earlier expectations and life goals were, and how important they were/are to your self-perception.

> It's pretty blatant dishonesty to say that healthcare hasn't been defunded, and then only focus on NHS provision of healthcare while ignoring public health, social care, nursing care, etc.

It would be if someone had done that. Incidentally, are you saying that NHS has not been defunded? You wouldn't be very popular with said ideologues either then.

In Finland, the first part of the dividend is taxed very lightly. That's not the case in Germany, where all dividends are taxed at the regular capital gains rate. Which yes is generally lower than your income tax rate.

But you're also paying corporation tax, which pushes the tax rate a bit above what you'd pay if you just paid the regular income tax. And then you're in another level of bureaucracy and accounting.

That was the rough situation when I was considering incorporation and abandoned the idea. Others have taken the company route and may have found ways to make it work for them.
