They failed because theological problems cannot be solved by political negotiations.

For Jews, Israel is the promised land.

For Muslims, the entire universe belongs to those who follow Allah.

Therefore it is a zero sum game.

The problem with "secular" thinking about these issues is that secular people have no innate understanding of religious fanaticism and do not understand the supremacist worldview of Abrahamic faiths. Perhaps that is one reason behind their constant need for building secular narratives of history ignoring repeating patterns.
I think C really needs an update to the standard library that includes these shorter types. Seems like a fine list though.

Some of my own style changes this year:

I try really hard to write functional code. Mainly try to keep functions pure, and write declarative code. I find that this makes the code easier to write(not necessarily read), and I'm less scared of bugs.

I also avoid malloc unless I absolutely need it. You can usually preallocate space on the stack or use a fixed length buffer, which pretty much avoids all fears of memory leaks or use after free type bugs. You will sometimes waste memory by allocating more than you need, but it's a lot more predictable.
> I prefer to use typedef's for opaque structs to emulate classes with all private fields, and use 'struct' for plain ol' data structures. Classes should only be accessed via functions, while structs can be accessed directly.

Totally agree, I even wrote this as a blog post: https://www.lelanthran.com/chap9/content.html
Depends on who you are and what you want to achieve. If you're a beginner and/or don't have access to professional gear, it's great to have a way of shooting "the professional way" on whatever you happen to have around. You get most of the manual control a proper camera gives you with an interface very similar to that of a Blackmagic camera, so when you finally find yourself in front of a real one, you already have some experience with it.

And while the image quality definitely doesn't compare to that of cinema cameras, 90 % of the time, it doesn't have to.
Does anyone know if DNSSEC-validating recursive resolvers will retry (fetch new records) if their cached DNSSEC-related records (e.g. DS) are a certain age and they are seeing a validating error?

If they would, problems could autocorrect faster (than waiting out a TTL of 1 day). It could cause higher load on name servers, but at first glance it seems like a reasonable trade off.
That is not the case with Aliexpress and EU countries for some time now (since July 1 2021).
There's been a deal at EU level with Ali that it includes local VAT at checkout, for items of lower value.
Just lawyer and closing costs of a house can be 2 percent of the house. Do this two or three times (one to buy new, one to sell, and one final to buy the downgrade) is easily 6 percent of a house.

So the house needs to go up 6 percent just to break even in the most ideal scenario.
It's always interesting how living on Earth wraps our perception and makes it somewhat difficult to understand how things really are. Like Newton's First Law, which is in a way completely obvious, but not very intuitive in an environment where all seemingly "undisturbed" moving things eventually stop.

The real news is that metals don't fuse together on Earth.
Happened to me with LEGO.

I’ve been a big fan most of my life and it was / is my favorite toy product by far, but only as I got older, I realized how the whole system is not just brilliantly designed, but the mechanical _execution_ of the parts is at least just as impressive.

…And that it wouldn’t be possible without plastics. No other type of material could ever achieve such durability, flexibility and precision; and that’s not even considering costs – no other materials _period_.

LEGO is a perfect example of a product designed AROUND plastics – not something turned to plastics to lower costs.

No, but it can warn you!

The type is meant to capture programmer intention, and if you use `const` the compiler can warn you that your intention does not match the intention of the existing code (like, the intention of the author who wrote Foo_Bar).

I simply dont think that is true on a factual basis. The US taxes as a % of GDP is a few percent behind Europe, but GDP is higher in the US.

The US government pulls in more dollars of revenue per resident than most European countries.

the OECD data refub provided matches up with my claim. Do you have other data?

You can validate this with the opposite approach. Looking at government spending [1] The US government spends 31.5k per person. Germany spends 31.8k per person and France spends 32.3k per person. Deficit spending is a few percent higher in the US, but pretty similar. Switzerland, Ireland, and the UK are all in the mid 20's.

The idea that the US governments is underfunded or that taxes are vastly lower are pervasive myths.

It is based on a bait and switch looking at %GDP instead of dollars paid to the government, as if the cost of government services like roads or insulin are naturally proportional to GDP.

The entire concept of higher GDP implies you should be able to have more purchasing power, goods, and services with higher GDP.

During Christmas vacation while in college, I didn't have access to a computer. So I'd fill spiral notebooks with code.

Even in college, the computer was in the computer center. So in the dorm I'd still code in spiral notebooks, listening to ELP and Jethro Tull.

I kinda miss that a teensy bit.
This heavily contributes to what I've heard as the Adversity Paradox: we don't like adversity, but find meaning in the overcoming of it.

Unfortunately, from my own experience, my feelings of inadequacy and unease about what I can't know constantly cloud my higher-order reasoning.

Bad thinking is also, tragically, habit-forming.

Hi Daan,

>> not open-source yet

> Can you be more clear? Is the Desktop app going to be open-source in the future? If so, what license?

Yes, but have no ETA or license choice yet.

> Do you intend to monetize this product? If so, how?

Yes. We strongly believe in a freemium where both free and premium users are happy. We’ll primarily monetize collaboration and enterprise features without cannibalizing free users. In this sense, we’re inspired by companies like GitHub or Figma. And in our case, free also includes users without an account.

> As a side note: I find it strange that you feel the product is not stable enough to share the code, but apparently stable enough to share the product itself.

Running an open-source project well is not easy and takes resources. Building a great product is hard on its own. Our primary goal is to design and build the best API product possible, so we direct all our energy there for now.

As a non-film person, can someone explain what it means to create the same cinematic ‘look’ as Hollywood feature films? What is Blackmagic doing when recording video to make the video feel more professional?
> Excited about finishing your feature, you run the code and realize that it takes an awfully long time to complete.

How do you run your project where this happens? I thought everyone complied it separately and then ran it, not both at the same time. Shouldn't your tooling tell you immediately that it's the compilation being slow and not the code?
That ship has sailed ages ago. There are some things you should just accept about C, or any programming language really. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do something. I don't know how many years of experience in C this guy has, but this is a "been there, done that" case for me. I stick to stdint and stdbool today, and even if only half the code/libs I interface with do that, it's already worth the extra _t-typing all the time. Just the fact that they use the i prefix for signed, and s for string has a high chance that his s8 string type gets confused with an 8-bit signed int.

But as you say, it's a personal style, and the author seems to be aware of that:

> I’m not saying everyone should write C this way, and when I contribute code to a project I follow their local style.

Because that's by far the most important rule to follow in any language.

I think the rest is less controversial, the 0 vs. NULL thing has been going on forever; I didn't check recently but I'd assume "const somestruct *foo" would still sometimes help out the compiler to optimize vs. the non-const version.
Big clue: the trouble came when he was helping an overcharged customer. At the same time, he must have been exposing bad management (or even fraudulent management) which caused the overcharge in the first place. Ergo, he must be discredited. Ergo, he must be a loser. Ergo, he must be fired.

I wouldn't describe blender as following this formula. The only thing they sell (last time I checked) is blender studio, which as far as I'm aware is more just another way to donate while getting some things in return.
I recorded two takes with exact same settings except one was ISO ~1500 and the other ISO ~3000. Shouldn't the second take be around twice as bright as the first one? The change in brightness is hardly noticeable.

I suppose this is the same case as every other camera app I've ever tested on Android and iOS, such granular settings like ISO are just not accessible by the system APIs available to the app. In that case though, I'd expect the app to at least not lie to me.

Can someone confirm or deny this? I don't know much about photography nor iOS so I might just be confused.
I think it is crucial to learn how to code with pen and paper. All computerization adds a mental burden, that shouldn't be there. Also this is a nice way to connect computer science with mathematics.

With resin 3D printing, I can produce a complex case for my product, although at a higher cost per unit than injection mold - but with no up-front costs. It seems fairly cost effective considering the extremely high cost of making an injection mold. I'm not at the scale of needing 100,000 or 1mil units though. Right now it's costing me $5 per complete case (5 parts, $1 each - it isn't a very large case). I can have 10,000 of these cases made for about the same price as it costs to create the injection mold. I'm nowhere near the scale of 10,000 units right now, but maybe in the region of 1,000 units. The cost does get passed on to the customer and if I ever get an investor and serious traction in the market then the injection mold will sort itself out and the per unit cost for my product will go down.

LinuxServer.io containers rock for homelab. Not sure why you wouldn't use them.
I would guess that people assume more abstraction layers stand between them and the process than there actually do — that “getting something manufactured” is more like using PaaS than like using IaaS.

Which is, honestly, kind of a reasonable assumption. In construction, you hire a general contractor. Why is there no manufacturing equivalent of a general contractor? Because all such people are too busy running their own successful product businesses?
Comparing this to off-piste skiing or mountain biking is not fair at all. You can view avalanche predictions, sample the snow pack, and take safe and slow lines that go perpendicular to the faults when skiing. Biking you can use hydraulic disk brakes, deliberately lay the bike down and slide out, plus you should be wearing a full face helmet, spine + neck protector, and other armor.
Unless you are actively trying to set a speed record or win a race there is far less danger.
" it is just a collection of anecdotes of the clueless"

But those are the entertaining ones innit. What fun is it to read a blog (like OP) that says 'yeah we hired a bunch of experienced professionals and we didn't have any problems'. No, we want to read stories of 'so I forgot about one detail and the manufacturer completely misunderstood us so I had to fly to China and spend 100k to get it fixed and it still was 3 months late'.
Have you ever lost data on your smartphone due to flash memory degradation?
For those with many years old phones: I'm curious if anyone here has ever lost data on their smartphone. Flash memory is supposed to leak electrons over time, so after a few years, files should become corrupted. I've seen this with USB pen drives but never with smartphone memory even on the oldest phones.

What's the difference?
Take a laptop, any laptop and tell me if they will act like a monitor when I plug in my Nintendo Switch via USB-C.

The problem is not fear of I/O. The problem is it's expensive to cater to all possible scenario's (different expectations regarding connectivity, resolution, color space and refresh) so you'll end up with a mix of scenarios that work and a lot that don't. Besides that, I didn't buy a laptop as an external monitor for a game console so why should I pay more to get that scenario supported?

I very much suspect they will be releasing 1GB or 2GB models later after the initial demand for it has died down and they can keep boards on shelves. Notice the the 1/2/4/8GB indicator on the board itself (and how they didn't say there won't be those models)
>Woz has little to do with the Mac, nothing to do with the iPod, iPhone, and iPad

>Jobs also did more than found Apple. He also found NeXT, Inc. and Pixar.

This comment is totally putting the cart before the horse. Without Woz, Jobs would have been a nobody. If Jobs had never met Woz, we wouldn't even be having this conversation right now. There would have been no Apple, no NeXT and probably no Pixar. Woz had everything to do with what Apple became and without him there simply wouldn't be an Apple or a Jobs to discuss right now.

It could be a strategy by the Chinese government to cut out the non Chinese retail companies and distributors that take 35%-70% of the revenue from each product.
Because it can be mistaken for 8-bit signed integer.
Aren't 't' instances burst instances? They need to be under constant load for a long time before their burst credits for CPU, memory, network and EBS run out, after which they fall back on their baseline performance.

> It does appear that the Arm-based instances can’t consistently maintain the same performance at high request rates.

I'm unwilling to trust that statement at face value for now given it's been tested against a 't' instance.

EDIT: Removed note about network burst credits in compute and memory optimized instances. I'm not sure if these instances have that.
I got blacklisted from an MNC in India because I was writing up the logic for the algorithm problem on paper and the camera flagged me as cheating on the coding test. Its weird cause since childhood we were forced to use pen and paper to solve math/physics/chemistry problems and now you get flagged on online tests for using it. I just cannot do the "thinking" part of the code with my keyboard and IDE.
I am consistently disappointed with the iPhone’s video quality. It looks like the bitrate is simply too low, either to keep file size down or because the phone can’t encode 4K that fast. However shooting in ProRES is simply not practical for me. Can apps like this improve the HEVC video quality, or do they simply reuse the Apple defaults with a new UI? Or is there a ProRES workflow I could be using on the phone?
Why do none of these tools let me store data in a git repo? I want everyone on the team have the same setup and keep in sync with API changes.

Why do project managers always insist adding chat to the app? I wonder if anybody uses the chat feature at all. Personally I find the integrated chat in every util useless waste of resources.

Also a further fragmentation of communication platforms for any collaboration simply makes me not want to collaborate unless I'm paid handsomely to use the yetannotherchatplatform. (just finishing some project and getting rid of several chat platforms i was forced to use because of them)

You can refinance earlier, or any time after the 10-year-period, if your contract is 10+ years.

Anything after the 10-year-period comes without any kind of penalty.

Getting out of the contract earlier is possible, but comes with a penalty called Vorfälligkeitsentschädigung — it boils down to the bank demanding the interest payments you would have paid if you‘d stayed in the contract for the whole 10 years.

However, afaik, if you also had an agreement on „Sondertilgungen“, that is, if the contract allows to pay x% of additional down payment every year, the bank must assume you had paid this for the remaining years in the contract.

No financial advice.
I have noticed this and built a system of scarcity in my consumption. I have a "random walk" of movies where I randomly go from one movie to the next based on director, writer, cast, prizes etc. I make sure the walk is not a slog and there is enough good movies that I encounter. That way it's really fun to "hit" a very good movie. It's almost like gambling but then with media consumption. I do that with restaurants/activities too (to a certain extent that I control) with all kinds of subsystems in it that I designed to be fun for myself.

For video games my system is not random, but I will go 20 years in the past and play the major releases of that year. So I'm playing Beyond Good & Evil soon and already look forward to Half Life 2 next year. Makes me hyped but without fail because I know the actual release was a hit.
That's what I do when I can't sleep. I "give up" trying to sleep and do something for a hour or two. Then I go through the usual prebed ritual.

This gives me more attempts at sleep. Better to have more opportunities then fewer.
You can see the brightness change when you fiddle with the ISO,
so I'm not sure where you'd draw the conclusion that the system APIs don't give apps access to that.

Moving from ISO 1500 to ISO 3000 doubles the sensor's sensitivity to light, but doesn’t inherently make the scene appear twice as bright.
Go even further: trigger it with "Low PowerMode turned off" and set the action to "turn LowPowerMode on". Then turn it on once manually and it creates an infinite loop where once the system turns it off it automatically toggles itself back on.

You can keep the plug-in/out as a redundancy measure but the above should be the end of the matter.

This kind of hyperbole isn’t exactly helping your argument. Smartphone cameras have very sophisticated lenses.
The specialized stops are an issue (and have gotten very rare), but the speed limit from the car train is an issue but especially the highly cyclical nature of the demand for car transport on night trains, much more so than normal sleeper trains. Most of the rolling stock used for transporting cars is very old and not getting replaced (because you can't recoup the cost), while there have been quite a few orders for new sleeper trains.

> Wouldn’t existing programs just continue working?

Only ones which don't have variables named `i8` or `b32` (which is common, but not for booleans).

I've seen many projects which used the pattern [a-z][1-9]+ as variables. Those programs with a variable called `i8` won't compile if the standard made a type called `i8`.

In particular, the standard reserves entire patterns to itself, so it cannot reserve the pattern of [a-z][0-9]+. They could, and did, reserve the pattern *int*_t for themselves.
