Depends what the incentives are. Some folks like the community- that doesn't change. A website like honestwargamer or goonhammer has a clan. Mostly because they are insightful and friendly. But if an AI scraped their content, it would have to build a better goonhammer? Maybe. But I bet it would have half a dozen nerds contributing and tinkering at the backend, painting the new minis that came out, talking about tournament results etc.. That is current, constant fresh relevant content, based on IRL activity. Very hard to replicate.
For honestwargamer... Build a better twitch stream... that seems even less likely. they run a round and stream games, review results, collate stats. And then engage with the audience in twitch.

So when you say "contribute to the internet", this is what I consume and.. I'm sure there are similar examples in every niche- fishing, golf, coding, AI art creation ...

No I don't see this as gloomy scenario, and content creators- the goonhammers and honestwargamers, creatives, are still going to get paid (a bit, they were never rich), maybe in new ways.
On the flip side, also consider low barrier to entry as drastically inflating the denominator. The cost to start an “AI company” is virtually zero.

The reason “99% of day traders fail” isn’t because day trading is harder than being a doctor.

> But that's not the case for ChromeOS. Underneath its unique GUI layer – which, unlike the one in macOS, is open source – it's a relatively standard Linux which can run standard Linux apps, out of the box, on both x86 and Arm.

How? Last time I looked at this, I needed to install a dedicated Linux-Environment, which came with its own hiccups. That's not really what I would call out-of-the-box. The Android-Integration made a better impression.
My take on that at the time was that vested business interested didn’t want to see a direct connection made between cars, pollution, congestion, and wasting of space.

I also suspect that VanMoof hoped to cause a stir to get more articles written. Their QA may be shoddy, but their marketing is on point.
It was never the experience of "majority". Majority doesn't create.

It was, nevertheless, internet.
> as cars are not company owned and inspected

The worst taxi I've been in had a completely broken suspension that bottomed out on every bump and threw the car all over the road. My wife got car sick, and we were both afraid we'd crash due to how out of control it was.

The cigarette smell and broken AC were obligatory, of course. Don't forget the check engine light and squeaky brakes.

The taxi owners did not care about car quality whatsoever.

I've never been in an Uber or Lyft that was as bad.

> Also the gig economy is overall probably a negative for society as working people do not have the safety of employment along with benefits.

A lot of drivers paid to rent both cars and taxi medallions and started the day off in the red. Many were contractors and didn't get benefits.

Not sure if it's still there, but in Queens, NY you'd see lots of these taxi medallion and rental places in Long Island City.

Any chance you could explain this a bit more? Intuitively it makes sense that this would be as important if not more so than the modeling itself, but I have no context for the difficulties encountered when implementing it.
In reality, a ton of stuff does. As an example: What do you do if someone calls your new string+length API with an embedded \0 character? Your internal functions are all still written in C and using char* so they will silently truncate the string. So you need to check and reject that. Except you forgot there are also APIs (like the extended attrs APIs) that do accept embedded \0. The exceptions are all over the place, in ioctl calls passed to weird device drivers etc.

Yep, this is what I'm running. Honestly shocked how good it is. Trackpad and monitor are great (the things they have never screwed up, to their credit), keyboard is back to being great, magsafe charger is back, no dumb touchbar gimmick, all usb-c, headphone jack, and I honestly think it seems faster - even on battery - than my beefy workstation I used to have at my office (just with less ram). The performance especially just feels like magic, for a laptop.
But apparently many developers of open source software would not consider that something they do for fun. I.e. it is work.
I would love to see a grid of all these values for all the latest battery technologies, to see what's leading the field between solid, sodium, aluminium, Sulfur Selenium, iron, etc
i have several compiler projects that are 99% C++ (fully functioning APIs etc) but also have python bindings. why? python bindings are by far the best APIs to expose to whatever C/C++ code you have that you want "casual" devs to use. who are casual devs? either people that write code non-professionally or professional devs that pick up your project outside of their day-to-day. there is nothing that beats the ease of use and (today) familiarity that people have with python.
Oh, sure. But I would not today go and write gushingly about how wonderful a camera the Brownie was. Because it objectively wasn’t. It was great for other reasons, but it certainly was never itself a wonderful camera, even for its time.
That chart suggests massive improvements since the beginning of this year. Can anyone explain how this was achieved? What precisely has changed?
The whole concept of decentralized trust-less environments requires some way to prevent malicious attackers from taking over the network. Proof of work, while extremely wasteful, does that job.

The main problem is that trust-lessness and decentralization isn't actually necessary, especially for most things that exist in the real world and are at the mercy of the legal systems they operate within (this applies to cryptocurrencies as well - the government doesn't need to break crypto, it can just make interacting/transacting with it illegal).

For a lot of real-world projects, the legal system is an adequate protection. Centralization doesn't require a profit motive - the central party could be set up as a non-profit and then have all the advantages of a centralized system while avoiding a lot of the drawbacks we see in for-profit operations.
Cython v3 release breaking PyYAML install well used in Python ecosystem
Exactly this. There are no literals in C that create composite types. There are no composite types inherent to the language. All these types are defined in (system) includes.

And zero-terminated strings are not strictly worse than other length-prefixed string forms. They save some space -- sure, less relevant today -- as well as provide an in-band termination signal -- which is hacky, again sure, but it is convenient when looking at a hex dump for example.
Super exciting. This may become my selfhosting project for the year ahead...
The core difference is contract of service vs contract for service (in the UK anyway). How many employees you have, or how many clients you have, doesn't enter into it because the decision is made on a per-contract basis.

If you think the length of the contract should be the determinant of the relationship, I have to ask what you think the maximum should be? I assume you still want to be able to hire a builder for three weeks to build an extension without going to the trouble of paying his tax for him, but you think three months for an IT contract turns you into a disguised employee. So where's the line?

Anecdotally, Firefox has always been faster than Chrome on MacOS for me. Great to see it’s only getting even better.
Try one of those inexpensive induction burners first. I was excited to try them because of the promises you hear about how much better they are, but once I got one, I quickly grew to hate it for everything except boiling water. The temperature control wasn't fine enough. There were only 12 temperature options and there were big jumps between them. The first temp is 140F and the next is 212F. No simmering, in other words.

If you like to cook (and I'm assuming you do, considering that you bought expensive cookware), I would definitely recommend auditioning an induction burner before you go through the expense and hassle of switching out your stove.

Self entitlement is a curse of modern society. It is bred into people from a young age through media and advertising. If it is related to politics I am not sure how, unless it is itself a driver. Democracy requires each person to accept that they are an equal part of the whole. Good luck with that.

This is awesome, looking forward to performance improvement efforts from Firefox.

I try Firefox once in a while and it admittedly feels slower and more choppy compared to Chrome, but would definitely consider switching if there's more focus on performance.

You can't change the string type without breaking all apps and services.
1. This is only slightly less irrelevant than "this returns a size_t" if that were so.

2. You have the option to provide the length, snprintf(buf, sizeof buf, "%.*s%.*s", len1, str1, len2, str2);

If you're bottlenecked by snprintf (hint: you aren't) then snprintf isn't your API anyway. Write some more custom code, probably some memcpy's etc.

This is a comment I think about a lot lately when it comes to discussions of AI and art too — if there’s a hazard in “dehumanized mathematics” and value in mathematics as community and reflection of human understanding then surely there’s something similar in art as communal conversation and reflection of human experience.

It’s highly context dependent. I’ve used stuff like Swig before now to create code that can be shared between multiple different environments. In that scenario the more host side code you’re writing the less effective your solution.

So, where he writes on StackOverflow

- "Is there, for example any real reason that even such famous results as... the Poincaré conjecture, really matter?"

He is writing from the perspective of someone who played a key role in solving the Poincaré conjecture. Remarkable context!

(Though the word "Poincaré" doesn't technically appear in his Wikipedia biography; it's disguised as "geometrization conjecture").
They sure do seem to mean a lot when someone recommends Firefox and people shit on them.

Little known secret --- "fancy screens" are often used as marketing gimmicks but they can actually reduce the manufacturing cost of modern autos.

In an environment where control systems are already digital/computerized for valid functional reasons, adding a display screen is more cost effective than analog instruments.

I am old school and I prefer the analog style; however, it is fairly easy to simulate analog instrumentation on a digital display and some manufacturers are doing it very well.

All that being said, EVs are still a low volume specialty product that hasn't reached mass market status yet. Once they do, cheaper, more stripped down models will become available.
C is all about memory management and copying data around, and people can't stop whining that there is no magic string handling sauce (as if strings were special), and keep acting like we had to put up with the ridiculous strcat() etc. nonsense.

yes, but practically speaking (and also from painful personal experience) this just seems like semantics. it boils down to the same issues. it's just that the person connects those feelings with age. but then again - no depressed person ever felt young - not even those who are objectively young. even at 20 i felt old. i knew i wasn't old in a general sense but i felt old relative to what ever i thought should have been at that age. same with midlife crisis. luckily i discovered that pattern and i'm getting better at dealing with it.

> Hollywood’s CEOs are suffering. Not primarily from labor disputes or industry disruption or public-relations issues, but from vincible ignorance, which seems to be endemic in C-suites of all industries. Under pressure to deliver to Wall Street, too many CEOs have lost the plot of their own movie. They are not running companies to profitably deliver a good product, such as a book or a cup of coffee or, in this case, a movie or TV show. They are running companies to deliver good profit. The quality of their product has ceased to matter.

Has there ever been a time when the suits weren't ignoramuses? And if they're optimizing everything to deliver a profit, why aren't they profitable?

The suits are to blame in terms of accountability, because the buck stops with them. But the product as far as I can tell has never been more expensive. The new Indiana Jones movie had a production budget of approximately $300M, plus marketing costs (between $50M & $150M). If we assume Disney will pocket 50% of the gross box office, they'd need to make $700M-900M just to break even. So far, more than two weeks after release, the film has made just over $300M worldwide.[0] That movie alone is very likely to lose hundreds of millions. Movies losing money is the norm, but not to the tune of hundreds of millions.

What's gone wrong? 1) The writing has deteriorated. Stories have become boring & tendentious, filled with unlikeable characters, hackneyed plots and preachy dialogue. 2) The studios have become completely risk-averse. I can kind of understand why they'd want to be risk averse with budgets of $300M, but audiences tire of remakes, reboots and distant sequels. (I think the creative types have gotten wise, which is why "explorable" IP with large worlds like Star Wars or Middle-Earth have been cannibalized to tell stories that are tonally and thematically quite different than the source material, because the suits have zero clue. Sometimes it even works, like with Andor. Though even Andor has struggled to find its audience amongst all of the noise.) 3) The costs have gotten too high. I'm not sure if the streaming wars or golden age of TV or even just low interest rates are responsible, but the costs of production are staggering. This is in a day and age where technology should have made it cheaper to produce films & TV. When I look at Oppenheimer's budget of $100M, I can almost understand why it is so expensive. I can't explain the Indy 5 budget.

When I was younger, I could almost always find a movie I wanted to watch on a Friday night. Those days are long gone. At some point, Hollywood stopped producing anything worth seeing, and now they're paying the price.

With all the privileges granted to these companies in the west, shouldn't they also bear some responsibilities to continue to serve the public fairly as well?
asprintf is even better (although different because it allocates a new string).
Nope - you didn’t shit all over it. This is a fair disclaimer for anyone venturing on this journey.

There’s a steep learning curve - it’s many times harder than writing full stack code and solving business problems.

To be moderately successful, you’ll need to acquire practical knowledge on many different topics (economics, sociology, statistics, technical analysis, stock exchanges, brokers, margin, local trading/day trading laws, etc). And this is just for stocks/ETFs, leaving out Futures and Options (skip those in your first few years).

It’s a very raw, dog eats dog kind of world. Each person is out for themselves. You’ll experience a whirlwind of emotions. I find it best to schedule positions ahead of time, and avoid trades in real-time. It’s so important to manage your emotions and protect your capital.
