>Is it? I thought that char-pointers-into-char-arrays are specifically allowed to alias with whatever type.

I think they mean something like this:

char storage[1024];
struct pool pool_of_foos = { storage, sizeof(storage) }; // use storage as my memory
struct foo *p = pool_allocate(&pool_of_foos, sizeof(struct foo));
// pool_allocate cannot be implemented in conforming C or C++.
// i.e you cannot place a 'struct foo object' in the memory location containing 'char objects'

How can malloc() work then you might ask? Well it has defined semantics in the standard, so its essentially a magical special exception, you cannot write such a function yourself in standard C, you must use compiler extensions or assembly.

Which is quite insane that it has come to this, I doubt K&R had that as their intention for the language.
Why don't they just let old dramas just die rather than reviving the whole thing and continuing it?

The problem with the Rust community is that they continue old fires and just throw gasoline to attempt to put it out causing it to never end.

This is why almost no-one takes them seriously.

He also taught me something pretty critical - you don't need a huge fancy kitchen to execute great food. Most of the work he does happens on a large cutting board, the sink, or the stove. When I moved into my current place with a tiny kitchen, I wasn't nearly as freaked out about it. I knew I would be able to work in it just fine.

Alexandre Koyré has written a book and a lot of articles about it (well-known are the Copernician and Gallilean moments), and it made me mostly realize how different their thinking could be.
His works are sometimes hard to read because of the mathematics involved but also the extensive quoting in Italian, Latin, Greek etc (though with Google Lens it shouldn't be a problem in 2023).

Strong agree. The only misbehaviour I believe curl displays out of the box is globbing, which has burned me enough times that I’ve come to believe it would’ve been better disabled by default and enabled with -g instead of vice versa.
A lot what separates good and bad cooking is tacit understanding that can't be explained in words. You need to practice to detect the nuances in flavor. It's really basic and doesn't make good edutaninment content.

I'd say 90% of being a competent chef is just down to knowing how to balance the basic flavor components; and to figure out how these things change during the cooking process.

With practice and experimentation you can learn to infer what is lacking by taste and make anything go from bland to amazing.

Spices and ingredients are much less important. They aren't unimportant, but they aren't what makes something decent into something great. You can make a head cabbage more delicious than most what you'll find in a cookbook if you get this right.
Oh wow, a lot of technology in there from my past... in the late 90's I worked at a startup, Cards Etc, in Sydney, Australia with the mission to build a back-end system, Arterium, for dealing with multi-application smart card issuance.

That's very courteous, 28 days is plenty of time to find a new tech job. A real courtesy would be a golden parachute worth at least 6 months wages if you get laid off without cause. That's probably not more than a US sign-on bonus.

The alternative is giving real contracts to international hires, who already have a proven track record (otherwise why would you hire internationally).

Trial contracts were meant for people straight out of college, but in a race to the bottom some companies have started pushing that line further and further, even having people move across the world for temp contracts. You can't complain about labor shortage while behaving like that.
In many places (including virtually all of the US), if you try to turn a single family home into a few apartments with a shop downstairs, or build a restaurant without parking, put a grocery store or a corner shop in an area zoned residential, etc. then your local authoritarian government will stop you.

Many extensions need full access to the DOM, because their functionality depends on it. Their sole purpose is to manipulate the DOM for various purposes.

That's why it is always a risk to use browser extensions and you really have to trust the people behind the extension.

Obviously, if the browser supports it, the access should be limited to the sites where it actually matters. Like a YouTube ad blocker to youtube.com. Unless you make a living from YouTube. Then you don't want to block ads for ethical reasons as well as security reasons, because it can kill your livelihood.
Let me clarify: if you have you device with you (didn't lose the device) and you didn't make contact with another online device for more than cool-off period, your device tokens won't be refreshed and they will expire and become unspendable. You don't lose that money – it is still in your account and will be available for you spend as soon as you go online. The "lose your money" scenario is only if you lose your device and someone finds your device and spends the money on the device within the cool-off period. It is equivalent to losing your cash wallet and someone else spending your cash. Except in case of cash, that stolen/found cash is lost forever and is valid to be spent by the thief/finder forever whereas in this case there is a small time-window after which you automatically don't actually lose your money!

Had to read surprisingly far before there was a mention of transit cards — which is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about stored-value cards.

In my city's implementation the offline-ness of the system is very apparent. If you add value to your card online, you have to come to a subway station to stick the card into a reader to have your new balance written. The turnstiles at the same station don't do that either despite definitely having a network connection, you have to specifically use the balance-checking or ticket-selling machines.

The only application I've seen that isn't transit is at arcades. You'd buy a "member" card that you'd put money into. Each machine would have some sort of terminal where you tap or swipe that card to add credits to the game. But then I'm not quite sure if these systems are offline or these terminals are connected into a network.
I use Kinesis Advantage 2 for work, but I don't use it to play video games. First, it's kind of expensive, and games wear the keyboard very quickly, second: game designers assume a more conventional keyboard layout, so, for example, small function keys are a non-starter for a lot of games. Also, games assume that the player should be able to press keys 6-0 with the same hand they press 1-5 (while holding the mouse in the other hand) -- this doesn't work well with split keyboards.

I would expect the same to be true, more or less for this keyboard. With the exception of function keys being bigger. On the other hand, I'm not sure I'd want function keys to not be very easily distinguishable from the rest. At least, in the case of Kinesis, some of them control keyboard's own macros / remapping. Accidentally hitting those might result in an hour long break trying to reprogram the keyboard to do what it used to do before you fat-fingered it to do something stupid.
I used and avow that method. One thing I would like to know, though, is if it's essentially the same method as the "cupric chloride" one. I'm guessing if you reuse the previous etching solution and add fresh HCl and H2O2 (which I did) one should get both etching reactions.

In any case it works very well, and it is safe, something which commenters in another hackaday article some time ago were doubting.
I find wget is more likely to be on a given system than curl by default so I usually reach for that first. But I am squarely in the middle of the venn.

> For reference, the primary market for Kubernetes is orgs with over 1,000 developers that just can't make deployments to virtual machines work cost effectively any more.

Kubernetes is a surprisingly reasonable option for an organization with 5-10 developers that has outgrown Heroku-like services.

I don't think I've ever budgeted more than $150/month for a managed Kubernetes controller that Just Works, and that was a relatively expensive one. Everything was preconfigured and we could get started in 20 minutes. The actual servers in the cluster were just ordinary cloud VMs with locked-down images, and they were managed automatically.

Actually running an app on Kubernetes requires two things: (1) a Dockerfile, and (2) a YAML file listing the Kubernetes resources for the app. The YAML file might be anywhere from half a page to 2 pages for a simple one. There's an O'Reilly book that explains what to put in them.

I've also deployed large applications using Chef and Terraform. These often require far more configuration than slapping something on Kubernetes, and Chef offers many more ways for things to go wrong.

However, I do have several rules for Kubernetes happiness:

1. If your app is simple enough to run on a Heroku-like service, do that instead.

2. If you do choose Kubernetes, buy and skim the O'Reilly book, or a similar book.

3. Pay a cloud vendor for managed Kubernetes.

4. Do not mess with the networking config. Almost every Kubernetes horror story I've heard involves network overlays.

I'm not saying anyone ought to use Kubernetes, but it's surprisingly reasonable and pleasant for smallish full-time teams if you follow the rules above.
One of the forgotten ones:

> The Victor 9000 was perhaps best known for how it was able to achieve such high density on it's floppy disks. It used variable speed disk drives; there were 9 different speeds used. As the drive head moved outward the speed would increase. It was really neat to hear the speed change as the drive head moved.

> Think of it as an internship, if you like. That, you'll surely agree, has some value?

Sure. I generally agree that the loss of background actors would be harmful to actors, most of whom are poor.

> But, they're not doing that! They're taking background actors' images, and copy-pasting them into other scenes, and other works.

This is not clear. I think what you are saying and what SAG are saying is incorrect because frankly it doesn’t make sense to me. The studios have said those narratives are grossly incorrect, and I am inclined to agree simply because they do not make economic sense. Background actors are cheap and better than trying to “paste” them into future scenes. But I don’t really care because the actual thing we should care about is the near term future where background actors are simply generated entirely, which is the primary threat and completely unchallenged by the current debate being had.

That’s the problem. The argument is the problem. Not the general plight of the small actors. Any belief that they are solving their current problems or future proofing themselves is painfully naive.

How is this even a story? It’s like being surprised that applications can access files on your computer.
Maybe a bit tangential, but are there any “RSS to email” tools? Meaning — whenever I update my blog, the rss tool detects it and auto-sends an email version of it (maybe a teaser snippet) to a certain mailing list (e.g from Substack)
Is there any cooking content that takes into account cleaning up after? In my limited viewing experience the focus often seems to be prep and the cooking, ignoring the reality of the inevitable clean up.

Is there anyone focusing on recipes and how to cook that minimises / reuses cookware and through to a reset clean kitchen? When I cook I enjoy getting into a flow where I’m ordering the prep or modifying the recipe so I’m able to reduce dirtying extra dishes and aim to have minimal clean up afterwards. Ideally the clean up of the cooking is essentially done by the time food is being served.

I’m half serious and half amused at the idea of a cooking competition style show where participants must plate up, serve and then scrub.
Geez

If you have arthritis in your base of thumb joints, keyboards with thumb clusters may not be a good fit for you. I can use these types of keyboards for a day or two, then the thumb pain is too much.

I have the same issue with game controllers, so that may be a good indicator of problems with this type of keyboard.
It's quite interesting, but never seems to get anywhere. There has been some talk about a European central bank talking with the developers years ago, but I haven't heard anything since.

I also think that the GNU association keeps this project back, because it makes it look like foremost a software project. I think a more "political" stance with the software development attached would help it a bit.

Still, it's a very hard field to get into. Money systems don't get introduced and used on a whim.
Aren't these processes mostly automated? Is it possible that not a single human has so far been involved on behalf of the copyright holder?

GP said "insane to me". I understood this as a colloquial expression of disbelief or surprise rather than an actual accusation of insanity.

E.g. I might say it's insane to me that anyone likes Brussels sprouts. The state of mind of someone who could hold such a position is so alien to me as to be comparable to insanity.
That is irrelevant to the discussion that tools which enable cheaper production will allow for more individually directed art for smaller niche interests.
It's kind of a weird case where you have a problem of incentives. Almost any home owner (and I am one!) can benefit financially by ensuring their home in a given area remains scarce, so votes to prevent new housing construction. But the people who would benefit from that housing being built can't vote, because they don't live there.

Also, the beneficiaries of new housing construction are diffuse (if I want to move to Berkeley I want to have a choice of housing, but I'm not likely to go to community meetings to voice support for any particular project), while the opponents are concentrated (if I have a $2 million house right by BART in Berkeley, I have a very strong incentive to prevent new home construction near me, and I will definitely go to community meetings).

In a sense, this is a failure of democracy - there are parties whose voices are unheard but (arguably) deserve representation.

Even for people whose desires re: housing should be net neutral, it doesn't pan out. If I live in Berkeley but want to move to SF, I want to see SF build lots of homes and Berkeley to build none. But I can only vote in Berkeley, so my net voting behavior is anti-housing. Even if there is someone else in SF who wants the exact same thing but in reverse!

> You probably safely assume that you can replace table salt with kosher salt, or table salt with coarse rock salt (provided it will dissolve in cooking). However, you hopefully know that if the recipe calls for kosher salt you may not be able to use iodised table salt instead (if doing a fermentation), and that table salt is not a happy substitute for coarse salt for finishing.

Hopefully he'd also know that 99% of recipes that use kosher salt (presumably because it sounds fancier) will work just fine with with table salt (iodised or not). For most uses the grain size will not make any difference at all and for the remaining ones it is still not essential.

k8s is, and I wrote it countless times, a huge waste of resources.

The whole event driven distributed design is.

There aren't many use cases that require more than 5k concurrent clients and the number is even higher without the HTTP overhead (a single bare metal server can handle with the proper language).

For most companies it's a waste of money.

k8s is hype tech designed to drive business to public cloud providers, because of its complexity and high hardware demands.
9 bare metal servers minimum.

And then you have those pods, which are collections of services (e.g. postgres + api server + some cache).
But in the case of postgres, why wouldn't you have a dedicated cluster instead of multiple, isolated instances as it is the case with k8s?

I know, now the EDA faction chimes in with their dogma. Again most cases don't require even 5k concurrent clients. And most projects never will grow to the point of that many concurrent clients.

Addendum: And then I read the who is hiring thread and it's all k8s k8s k8s... frustrating
> Most cookbooks tend to be like the meme about drawing an owl [0]. Mostly because the people making the instructions make assumptions about Stuff One Should Just Know and skip those bits in the instructions.

You may wish to look at cookbooks produced by America's Test Kitchen. They try to create instructions that are clear and easy to follow.

This is done via a 'beta testing' program which you can join:

> As a recipe tester, you will be emailed in-development recipes. Recipe testers will receive one recipe per month on average. You can choose what to test; you are not required to test any or every recipe (but we hope you’ll want to!). When you test a recipe, please take the survey that accompanies it to tell us what you think. We will ask you questions about ingredient substitutions, recipe clarity, yields, and timing. And you get to rate the recipe.

> Occasionally, we’ll ask you to help us check ingredient availability at your local grocery store. We do this to ensure that the recipes we develop use ingredients that are widely available to all of our readers.
