Oh, they -know- you produce low quality. Either you are spending no time on it, or you value your time very little (and if -you- value the time so little, imagine how weak your skills must be.)

Providing a cheap service yo a business -requires- that you deliver a cheap product.

A much better approach us to do the website for free, but get paid commission on its value. Take a tiny piece of online sales, run specials on the site and measure foot-traffic in the store and so on.

People get paid to -add value-. To get easy money you need to figure out what the customer values (for a shop it's usually sales) then figure out how to increase those sales, then take the risk, and actions, to accomplish that.
Sadly, I am lacking in higher math so I would need some refresher courses on algebra, geometry, trig, and calc to catch up. I suspect I learned parts of those things "intuitively" so I would prefer to fill those holes in. I've learned a little about sin() and cos() with 2D graphics but a deeper understanding of math I think would propel me further. Is that something WGU could do?

I don't know what a lineman is, but I'm definitely not up to hard labor; recovering from tendonitis I got from a recent agricultural job.

Is electrical easy enough on the body? I've daydreamed about a dual CS/EE but I imagine the grit required for that path is far beyond the resources available to me.

Thanks for the recommendation, though, I'll look at it.

> Safety drivers were lipstick on a pig, designed to make self-driving cars more palatable to the public.

I go the other way with that information.

Safety drivers being used that way are bullshit.

If they didn't have the safety driver then there's no way in hell the braking systems would have been disabled and need manual intervention.

Therefore it was bad management and the entire idea of using safety drivers that way that was the problem, not the underlying self-driving system.

> > until the spec tells us what meaning it has.

> That's a commonly held belief, but wrong. My first C compiler predated the ANSI C standard. Yet the code very much had meaning, just not in terms of the C standard.

Much like /* plain English comments */ have meaning, just not in terms of the C standard.

Talking about prestandard C isn't relevant because we're talking about what a standards conforming compiler can do with undefined behaviour per the text of the standard. I do not find your counterexample compelling.

> The C standard defines the minimum a C compiler has to do to be in compliance with the C standard.

The standard does not define what a compiler has to do. Instead, it defines the C abstract machine as well as syntax attached to behaviour in terms of that abstract machine. When a program which is restricted to that syntax is executed, it must have the effects (upon the C abstract machine*) as specified in the standard.

Sometimes the standard doesn't specify anything for a given syntax in a given abstract machine state, and sometimes the standard explicitly specifies that "the behavior is undefined".

> It is not a complete definition, and this is intentional.

I'm not sure what you mean. Compiler extensions exist (and are generally regarded as a necessary evil), is that what you're referring to? Or are you referring to implementation-defined things (all of which are explicitly called out in the standard)? Or something else? A citation, if you can?

* Notably the C language says nothing about the real machine. Supposing you have an I/O port at address 0x9000, accessing "*((char*)0x9000) = 1;" does not need to access memory address 0x9000 at all. Of course, compiler engineers are not silly and implemented it as accessing 0x9000 on the underlying machine. Similarly the standard committee is careful to ensure that the language it defines can be implemented without needed the overhead of a VM or interpreter, though sometimes they get that wrong. (For example, see the issues combining multiple alloca() and C99's "int foo[*];" in the same function.)*
I take issue with the pasta diagram.

I was there, in the 1990's, as a working professional not a hobbyist. The popular architecture was, for better or worse, structured as layers, not spaghetti.

Some software from the 80s might meet that definition, but I think it's uncharitable (almost to the point of insulting) to assert that until the 2000s most programmers didn't know how to write anything but spaghetti code.
> Edit: it is trivial to construct an algorithm with this property.

It's actually impossible to construct an algorithm that has its runtime decrease as the input size grows. You can do this for finitely many examples, but we're talking about asymptotics here. With discrete run-times and a lower-bound of 1 operation, the run-time will have to stop decreasing at some point and just stay at the same constant value for all but finitely-many exceptions. This makes it a constant-time algorithm.

A constant run-time is a counter-example to that caption though, as the problem doesn't take longer as the input grows. An example would be checking if a number is divisible by 2. You only need to check 1 bit, so it doesn't take any longer as you add more bits that the algorithm doesn't touch.

Yeah I don't use c any longer unless I absolutely have to. I mostly do embedded so that happens sometimes. I much prefer c++11 on up.
I remember fixing up a CRT on an arcade machine I had in my office at work at one point. I read up on how to discharge it and made a makeshift tool to do the job (i.e. an insulated screwdriver with a wire attached to ground). I was pretty scared and even made sure to do it during work hours when others would be around in case I got zapped unconscious. :) Once I got was able to do it a couple of times, it really was no big deal, but I did take care not to get too close to the back of it while the thing was on and exposed.
Here's the link, for those interested:

Personally, I don't believe this is a good example; as this was ATI purposefully crippling the experience (downscaling textures, being the prime aspect) to cheat benchmarks. OP is more referring to "transparent" optimizations (the same experience, but made to run faster for the GPUs architecture, usually via operation reordering or shader modifications).
As it is for an OS written in C, sure it does have some helper C wrappers.

It is still “syscall”s at the end of the day, and many programming languages can output assembly just fine.
well, that escalated quickly '-), sorry if I opened a can of worms by pointing this out, I guess better to sort these things early on than worry about them later in some ways though.

When I first heard about "ask" vs. "guess" culture from a discussion on Twitter in early 2022 it was like a lightning bolt struck. So many things could be explained in this context. My Mom was from the south (Tennessee), my Dad from the north (upstate NY) our family was often wracked by misunderstandings. It confused the heck out of me. Fortunately both I and my wife lean much more to "ask" culture and we were close enough that after some initial misunderstandings in our marriage it settled out. We didn't have a name for it though, and this putting it into context really gave me a "Eureka" moment.

Ever since reading about this I've looked at relationships I have and have tried to work out what culture the other person preferred or was using, and often had direct conversations both explaining the concepts and talking about the ramifications of one form of interaction over the other.

Some folks are uncomfortable asking for things and lean into guess culture, others are really explicit about if they didn't ask about it they don't care. I only wish I had understood these concepts when I started managing engineers!

I have some work with these quadruple robots, problem is, they are still generally toys or educational platforms per se, as they lack the toughness of UGVs (small payloads too) and the mobility of UAVs (where drones can scan large areas in minutes).

You are excluding startup time. Loading the interpreter/runtime and initial JIT pass is slow. For many codebases, the compilation time is actually dominated by the time it takes the interpreter to get going.

Indeed, I just stopped reading half way through, because it's extremely low quality journalism. A conflict of interest doesn't mean full blown corruption, they might still have done the right thing with a conflict of interest. That's the job of the journalist, to properly dig in and find evidence for their case. Instead they just introduced more noise to an already noisy topic full of controversy.
I wonder if they could have mitigated that by leaning more heavily on the ability to have multiple personalities running on top of the kernel. So for instance, you could run a program from 1996 on the "Windows 95" subsystem and get better compatibility, but Teams could run on the "Windows 11" subsystem that treats CON as just another file name. Of course, there might be a problem if programs at different compatibility levels interact with the same files, but there's actually precedent for dealing with that kind of thing quasi-transparently, or perhaps I should say QUASI-~1.
There was a moment when OOP was the new hot thing that code got real noodly, but this was arguably a temporary regresssion.

> fix the game bugs at the gpu driver level and push updates

it's because the nvidia drivers are opaque blobs, rather than a source distribution.

If nvidia distributed their drivers as open source, i would imagine developers would likely "fix" their games properly because they'd be able to see what is going on underneath the hood, and write more optimal code.

of course, this removes some "competitive advantage" nvidia has over their AMD counterpart.

Random anecdote, COVID re-enforced my neighborhood walking as a exercise I could do while avoiding enclosed spaces. During my walks I always greet the people I meet with a "Good morning", "Good Afternoon", Etc. I consistently got suspicion when I started doing this. People would either not respond or have some non-committal response. I would just smile and keep walking. Generally after the second, or at most third, time people would figure out that I wasn't wanting anything, just being neighborly. They would start responding back with smiles and similar greetings. After a year of walking around saying "Hi" to folks people would start going out of their way to respond and would often add simple exchanges about the weather or the news. The mailman, of all people, who I would wave to and say "Hi" to told me one day that ever since I started walking around and greeting people the neighborhood had become "more friendly and nice." I doubt it was just my doing but I do know people smile more and wave and certainly part of it is they aren't fearing death by disease any day now, and part is that they like it.

I appreciate that I know a lot more of my neighbors.

They were kind of forced to. WoW (classic, not WoW64) relied on the CPU being able to switch to a 16-bit context, in much the way modern WoW uses amd64's compatibility mode. OTVDM's project page directly mentions this as a core component:

> CPU Emulator

> 64-bit Windows cannot modify LDT(NtSetInformationProcess(,ProcessLdtInformation,,) always returns error)

They would have had to replace/extend WoW with an architecture emulator. Raising the development/support complexity quite a bit for little gain (few people that use Windows 11 are running DOS or Win16 applications today, beyond retro gamers who use DOSBox anyways).

Good article, but to me it seems to be co-opting the term enshitification in a strange way:

> Large codebases will eventually reach an “enshittification point” — the point at which bugs are introduced faster than they can reasonably be fixed.

I think of enshitification primarily as an organisational/business phenomenon rather than a technical one.

It doesn’t necessarily emerge “bottom up” as the result of technical debt but from top down as a result of misalignment of values between the brutally commercial goals of the business and the values/goals if its customers. Tech debt and development velocity do play into this but I don’t think it’s the primary driver of it.

The term is a useful one at that level of abstraction imho because we already have quite a lot of language to describe things like this at the lower, more technical level.
This is not necessarily bad. Australian mines, as an example, have very advanced automation, IOT sensors, safety features etc., compared to India or China. It’s just that Australia imports the technology, but it’s mines are most productive/efficient and that is it’s moat.

> lowering our standards

Lowering from what baseline? I almost always see people advocate for similar accident rates as humans or better. That's not lowering.

> It's actually difficult to come up with an analogy in any other domain. Perhaps if VR hardware had some inane limitation that required users to always walk the entire physically analogous distance to move around in the virtual world. And when a user complains about not being able to teleport to different areas, VR adherents push back that the VR world is no worse than the physical world in this sense.

In this analogy, is walking the only option in the physical world too? Or can VR have vehicles too?

If yes to either of those, I don't see what's so ridiculous about this scenario. Am I the dumb one?

For the analogy to fit, there must have been enormous amounts of money spent on trying to invent VR teleportation, but it hadn't happened yet.

And in that case... yes the complaint is valid, but it doesn't make VR a failure.

You wouldn't be lowering your standards because of the lack of teleportation.
