Question regarding the "Einzelunternehmer" vs "GmbH" topic: in terms of liability, going for the former seems a bit "optimistic" as you are personally liable, no? Depending on your business it might vary how high the dangers in this regards are, but for a SaaS business, DSGVO fines immediately come to mind.

I agree with you, but nowadays with technology they can rapidly to high resolution photography of the sites. Even in the sky with drones.
Laser mapping of the site, etc.

The goal is just to recover and map all artifacts and their position, cleaning, tagging and figuring out what are they can be done offsite.
_Quick disclaimer_

In this thread: people who disagree on CLI superiority going at it.
That is hardly different from malloc(count * size), REDIM exists (aka realloc()) and many BASICs do offer the free variant as well.

In fact, there is hardly any difference between VMS BASIC and VMS C in terms of what is possible, if we want to take the discussion outside of 8 bit versions.
The zero-values idea, nil, reflection and stringly-typing all over stdlib and the most popular libs makes go not type safe. Were you thinking of statically typed?
> // Middleware automatically routes "/Foo" to FooController

I don't know why, but I truly do not like this. So if I create a "HelloController" class does the middleware just start automatically routing "/hello" to it?
I'd like to put in a recommendation for Andy Weir. The Martian and Project Hail Mary are the two I've read, but I'm told Artemis is also worth it. He does an excellent job at structing novels around very realistic troubleshooting and engineering. They tend to focus on the technical side of things, not the cultural, however, so it may not be what you're looking for.
> It’s pretty trivial to write a handler that accepts the base path, and then routes to a different set of handler functions. Then the routing is clear and explicit.

It seems a little pointless to have route handling functionality that requires more route handling for pretty normal cases.
I'm all for merging Musk with Human. If that is ever successful we can try merging him with Humility.
At least for the first point: C has been used extensively with non-uniform storage. Back in the DOS days when we had memory models (large, small, huge, etc...), and today, when programming all sorts of small microcontrollers. A common one I occasionally is AVR, which has distinct address spaces for code and data memory - which means a function to print string variable is a very different from the one used to print a string constant. This makes programs rather ugly, but things generally work.

As for your parallelism idea.. well every computer so far has a fixed number of execution units, even your latest 16384 core GPU still has every core perform sequential operators. And that's roughly what C's model is, it programs execution units. And it definitely hasn't stopped designers from innovating - complete different execution models like FPGA exists, and have a constant innovation in programming languages.
I'm unimpressed that x64 assumes function calls write the return address to stack memory instead of passing it in a register. It means you have to use the stack memory in order to benefit from the call/ret prediction hardware, even in functions which don't otherwise need to allocate any stack memory.

In general leaking microarch weirdness matters less if you don't have backwards compatibility.
I stayed at a hotel that was having a power outage and they could not assign me a room because they couldn't tell which rooms were unoccupied. I guess the rooms themselves had some redundant power or was wired to a different grid. That night I had a dream about having room assignment logs sent to a printer. When the power went out there was a log to flip through so that there was a manual way to determine where everyone was staying in the hotel.

That seems to me a lot like someone coming in complaining of pain because they have a broken foot and the dr deciding the best course of action is to just give them some opiods to treat the pain, and sending them on their way.

You haven't solved the underlying issue, you haven't dealt with any of the complications you just treat the most visible and troubling symptoms and declare victory.
Market discipline acts as a challenge, and humans figure out ways around challenges to maximize some reward (money). Market discipline is only enforced by humans and they have weaknesses.

This manifesto wants to pretend that the rules enforce themselves by some natural property of the system akin to physics or biology, and not from humans.

The manifesto is completely flawed on markets because what requires people to be discriminatory buyers is scarcity, which is opposite of what this manifesto is suggesting we work towards. It has no plans on how to handle technological abundance's (not post-scarcity) affect on market behavior:

>We believe markets are the way to generate societal wealth for everything else we want to pay for
> How much of the movement in NYSE is wash trading?

Well by definition wash trading results in no change of price, so none of the movement in the NYSE is a result of wash trading.

Further more, wash trading is illegal and every order entered into the CLOB is recorded as to which trader sent it so its trivial it detect if a trader did wash trade.
My best advice is keep it simple.

From the user's perspective, subscription generally means web hosted service of some sort in today's software environment.

If this doesn't work for you, I'd look at an annual license.

Bug fixes are made available all year but a new release with new features (with or without source code) is done every January. Older versions are no longer supported. Essentially, each new release comes with a new support contract.

This should be easy enough for most users to wrap their head around.
Either way, you don’t just send a big 200.000 BTC market sell order, that would be idiotic even for the government. If they are looking to sell them they are going to do it slowly.

> It feels a little out of calibration. How about free for 20 years; $500 for 10 more ... Everyone gets 30 years to exploit a work for a reasonable price

IMO, it's important to have a short default period. The vast majority of content - posts, comments, videos, tweets, open source software, etc. will never be registered. It's a huge benefit to get that into the public domain as fast as possible while still providing a reasonable period of exclusivity to creators.

If you're really wedded to the 30 year thing, I think an initial 10 years, and 20 years for the first registered period is a better balance.

Analogue makes some really cool, well-engineered products. But saying there’s “No Emulation” because it uses an FPGA is blatantly false. If it’s imitating original hardware, without being the original hardware, it’s an emulator.

Most slide rules will do many operations, but the basic operation is multiplication.

Multiplication on a slide rule works because you can turn multiplication into addition with

X * Y = 10 ^ (log(X) + log(Y))

(Edit: i had e and ln up here, but 10 and log is a better match the slide rules from 1 to 10l

The rules are log scaled, so you find X on one rule and line up 1 on the other rule, then look at what number on the first rule is where Y is on the second rule.

Run a couple examples you know the answer to, and you'll get it. As I recall, wrapping/bounding is tricky, you might need to reverse X and Y or go the opposite way to get your answer.

You'll need to do it like scientific notation as well, the rules only have numbers between 1 and 10.

Division is inverted multiplication, so for X / Y, line up the rules so X and Y match, the quotient is what is on the X rule where Y is 1.

I don't know much about woodworking, are you doing multiplication or division with fractions, or adding? Do you want fractional results or decimals?

Now try connecting to public wifi with that. Doing a MiTM and replacing anything with anything else is super easy. Just put a router with some Linux distro acting as extender (or mobile connection AP) with the same name and you can change traffic on any non-HTTPS website.

Or not even a public wifi. Someone can put a device somewhere between your home and ISP and MiTM attack you the same way as above.

Oh, and I will just show you fake e.g. Google login page, not just replace the context. And you are tired and just want to use the web... You won't notice the unsecured connection.
x86 does have a prefetch instruction, and it’s available as a compiler intrinsic in gcc and clang. But it’s really difficult to get a performance improvement from explicit prefetching on modern big CPUs because their dynamic prefetchers are very clever. Your data access pattern needs to be something the prefetcher does not know how to match, and you need to be able to prefetch addresses before the speculator would get to them by itself. Unlikely for matrices unless they have a very weird shape.

> have it sit on a shelf for a bit

Apple has started transitioning some products to ship by boat rather than by air, so it could be over a month from when the product leaves the factory to when it hits the shelf. Having this kind of update process is a lot more important in that scenario, to the point that Apple probably views this as a prerequisite to using ocean shipping for the iPhone.

I'm wondering more about Workgroup networking. I can understand dumping it for domain controllers, but what authentication is used on domain-less networks?
Yes, but the effect is dwarfed by greenhouse gas emissions. The effect of this is mostly going to be local. The big reflectors are greenland, the arctic and antarctic and those already have a very high albedo.
They do? Under Shelter, the BLS has "Rent of primary residence" and "Owners’ equivalent rent of residences":

* https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/owners-equivalent-rent-an...

This is because some portion of the population are renters and some are owners, so they both need to be reflected.
>They will find a willing partner who will uphold their offering.

I don't think people quite understand what is on offer. And precisely why no bank wanted to work with Apple apart from Goldman, which has zero retail banking experience.

>Apple could just start their own bank.

It is not like Apple owning a bank could do without all the banking regulation. The whole reason why Apple didn't start their own payment network ( Visa / Master ) or their own Bank ( Goldman ) was because they dont want the risk, but want all the benefits.
I am really surprised that such a bad take has gotten so much airtime, almost as much as that such a gifted developer came up with it.

The only way that the title is true is one that is not mentioned in the article: when C became popular, anything that was not assembly was a "high level language". Heck, even some Macro assemblers were considered high level, IIRC.

The factors that are mentioned in the article fall roughly into two categories:

1. The machine now works differently.

This may be true, but it does so almost entirely invisibly, and the exact same arguments given in the article apply in the same way not just to assembly language, but even to raw machine language.

I have a hard time seeing how machine level is not low level. But I guess opinions can differ. What seems inarguable is that machine language is the lowest level available. And if the lowest available level does not qualify as "low" in your taxonomy, then maybe you need to rethink your taxonomy.

2. C compilers do crazy shit now

This is also true, but it is true exactly because C is a low level language. As a low-level language, it ties execution semantics to the hardware, resulting in lots of undefined (and implementation defined) behavior that makes a lot of optimisations that some people really, really want to do (but which are far less useful than they claim) really really hard.

So C compiler engineers have defined a new language C' which has semantics that are much more amenable to optimisation. Nowadays they try to infer that language C' from the C source code and then optimize that program. And manhandle the C standard, which is intentionally somewhat loose, in order to make the C'' language that looks like C but maps to C' the official C language.

Since they were moderately successful, it can now be argued that C has morphed or been turned into a language that is no longer low level. However, the shenanigans that were and continue to be necessary to accomplish this make it pretty obvious that it is not the case that this "is" C.

Because, once again, those shenanigans were only necessary because C is a low level language that isn't really suited to these kinds of optimisations. Oh, and of course the rationale document(s) for the original ANSI C standard, which explicitly state that C should be suitable as a "portable assembly language".

But then again we already established that assembly is no longer a low level language...so whatever.

The details are scant from this product release, but for those who don't know, this company makes the "Analogue Pocket," an FPGA-implemented device capable of playing most Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games. There's no emulation happening here; everything is implemented in FPGA gates built onto the hardware.

Looks like they're advertising a similar implementation of the n64.

Interesting. The APY on savings accounts is only 4.15%. The spread between that and short term T bills is over 1%. My main HYSA is paying me 5.30% APY currently, and they aren’t complaining. A 1-1.5% spread on customer cash should be celebrated by GS…
I am honest: I don't want to see ADs nor be tracked, and removing ads is not worth paying 10$ a month to me, especially as I will still be tracked. I haven't signed any contract with youtube, nor with its content uploaders. If Youtube or the people uploading content to it wants to force me to pay to view it, they have a simple solution: make it subscription only. The fact is they do not, so I still retain my rights to use my own client, configured the way I want to and view it with my rules the same way I had the right to switch channel, go for a pee, walk, drinks during adverts when I was still using a television.

Besides YouTube content is not comprised only of artists.

The CPI is reliable over time. When the basket of goods is changed to reflect what consumers actually purchase the index is normalized to maintain continuity.

But on longer time scales it becomes a bit meaningless. Lifestyles were so different 50 years ago that very little is directly comparable beyond certain staple foods. People tend to interpret the CPI numbers based more on their preconceived notions of how things are going than on any objective reality.

The Apple Card is a great credit card for people that aren't optimizing points for travel (most regular people).

The software is solid and Apple prevents them from reselling your data to third parties. The cash back is super easy to use and visible (and the extra percentage on Apple purchases is a nice bonus).

I have some cards I use for perks (Amex Plat/Gold, United Club, used to have Chase Sapphire Reserve) but I used the Apple Card as my sole card for a while and I kind of miss the simplicity of it. With Amex I feel like I'm fighting against an Army of Amex employees trying to make it as hard as possible for me to use the card's perks where as with Apple I feel like they're genuinely trying to make the software usable for me, the incentives are more aligned.

Every time I have to use Amex's site to 'enable' a perk and then read the fine print to make sure I actually get the benefit it makes me angry at some invisible product manager that hates customers.

It usually comes down to enforcement: they can’t expect to get money from you without proving that you knowingly agreed to the deal but this kind of thing will probably prevent a lawsuit if you see something you don’t like or they block your access – if you weren’t paying anything, a court probably won’t accept an argument that you deserve any compensation for loss of a free service.

Technology is a lot like science.

In science, new theories don't always invalidate the old -- Newton's Laws are still useful and used and valid, within a certain range of conditions, they're just incomplete the situations where relativity comes into play.

In technology, the problems the old technologies were solving don't necessarily go away as we invent new technology, so new technology solving the same problems as the old will often be quite similar.

I've got a house built in the 1920s. The framing is all 16 inch on center, with studs milled to the 1.5 x 3.5 dimensions used by modern 2 by 4's. It uses sheetrock for all of the interior walls, although it was new enough at the time that the sheets have printed instructions on the reverse to tell you how to hang it. But the walls are all uninsulated; it originally had a coal furnace in the basement and you would just throw more coal in if it wasn't warm enough, although that was upgraded to a oil burner & baseboard system that burns an absurd amount of oil instead of coal. Besides leaking a lot of heat, the lack of any sort of moisture barrier means that the house is dry as a desert in the winter. It has electricity, but the older circuits are all ungrounded, with the lights wired before the switches instead of after, and while it has a modern panel with circuit breakers, instead of the original fuse box, they're just circuit breakers and not arc-fault interrupters or combined arc-fault & GFCI.

The general shape of the modern house and the 1920's house is quite similar, because the problem they are trying to solve hasn't changed much, but the technology they use has continued to change the solution in small ways that are very important for efficiency and safety.

Yes, you can tell the compiler to generate predictably-behaving output for non-compliant code. However, that code is not valid C anymore, but a dialect.

Since this is a discussion about what C is and is not, I think it's fair to limit ourselves to the actual language as-is.

seriously the best operating system i have ever used, and i've tried ubuntu, debian, alpine, gentoo, osx, windows, solaris, freebsd, netbsd, openwrt.

it's also one of the best products i have ever used, staying consistent, being well documented, extreme application of principle of least surprise. learn it once, use it forever kind of product.

regularly scheduled updates, extreme focus on technology, hardly any politics. if we want software development to become engineering, this is probably what it's going to look like.
Running core versions of the products aren't terrible - usually the complexity comes with the slough of plugins that folks install to customize the platform, all needing to stay up-to-date.

Bill Gurley's September 2023 talk "2,851 Miles."
> The last few companies I worked for all used some kind of virtualized infrastructure and usually through some kind of declarative interface (Docker, Kubernetes, or some terraform-style tool)

Which unfortunately is a problem in itself. A lot of core knowledge is lost and many people running infrastructure don't know how to read actual logs and debug outside of what the GUI shows. Just like you mention it's not even VPS these days it's a Dockerfile pushed to some cloud.

Copy/paste a Dockerfile, edit some yaml for the CI and claim you know DevOps. It's a shame really. I don't mind a nice minimal GUI when it makes sense, but it's important to understand the pieces below it.
More or less, but nothing about the design of the language puts that frontmost. Instead, the language is designed to make the developer think they're operating on an embarassingly-sequential machine and only the vast amount of undefined behavior in the language spec allows the compiled output to be parallel.

It's the wrong abstraction for the job and properly using C in a way that takes advantage of it requires unlearning most of what people think they know about how the language works. I'd like to see more languages that start from a place of "Your code can execute whenever the computer thinks is most efficient; don't ever think you know the execution order" and then treat extremely-sequential, deterministic computing as a special case.

Is there another “too big to fail” bank offering similar rates for savings accounts?

Most high yield savings accounts are regional banks.
Right? They were perfectly positioned to profit from the rise of LLMs, and somehow missed the boat (and continue to do so).
