> (I would love to see the C standard grow explicitly-endian types so you could write e.g. "ubeint32_t x = 0x12345678;" and have the value serialized in big-endian form. But alas the C standard moves slowly.)

How would that work? If it keeps that layout all the time performance will be terrible, and if you want to convert it when serializing how do you intend to trigger that conversion? (And is that trigger something you couldn't do with a library?)
If you're old enough Facebook, becomes this.
I've made several attempts, but I legit can't get past the first 2 hours of gameplay. Call me superficial, but the interface is just so messy. It's so disorganized and all over the place.
If you really want to Always Be Surveilling, wouldn't a better solution be a tiny cam/mic accessory that pairs with your phone/watch? You could use the same magnetic battery idea, but in a much smaller form factor.

This thing (the Humane AI Pin) is aiming to be a phone replacement, which seems like a really steep challenge given its limitations--how could it replace any of the things I use my phone for on the subway to work?
The damage from keeping a seriously negative employee around is almost always underestimated and the risk is often overestimated.

I’ve worked in tech 30 years. I’ve seen dozens of “indispensable” employees leave voluntarily. I can only recall one time where the company even had a question that they’d wished they could ask the departed employee.
With that level of control by Goofle, the entire thing comes across as a legal charade at best, or fraudulent at worst.
It also says that amount of almonds has 15g of protein, which would actually be like 50 almonds according to a few different online nutrition sites.

Was it more like you just had a vivid mental image of it, or was it like clear and convinced it was there and tangible?
Personally, I like reading (books, magazine, foreign langauge, physical and online - library is free! Bookstores are free if you don't buy!), learning new things - going outside, cycling, sports, etc.

Many of those things can be as cheap or as expensive as you want, the last two do have some cost of entry but, it entirely depends how deep you want to go.

I enjoyed gaming as a kid, but the older I become, the less tolerant of it I am. I was the sort of kid/teen that would dive deep into JRPG's and spend time on gamefaqs.com and other forums - so don't discount me as someone that never understood gaming - but now that I'm an adult I just don't enjoy it. Maybe it's because I understand how games are made, and what meetings/background context goes into publishing a game, maybe it's just that I have less and less freetime so I don't want to be involved in a computer-esque realted software type deal. There's also the whome gamification of society and microtransactions that really draw developers into extracting money every chance, and theres also marketplaces like Xbox Game Pass that offer unlimited gaming for a set fee.

I very much think we are in a true golden age of information exchange - letters - phone calls - instant transmisison via Internet to the point where we're conversing ways to relax with the time we have. And I don't mean to be negative of your hobby. As long as you enjoy the time you spend on it - that's excellent. :) And don't think I don't game now, I have a switch that I never use with a library of games that keeps piling up - heh.
I only played the game in VR. It was fun, the flying experience etc. was very cool in VR and I liked how "alien" I felt in different environments. Eventually the game loop became boring I think, I started playing it less and less and stopped.

Parsing and symbol resolution on simple languages is kinda trivial in my opinion, but I'll probably write some articles about that stuff later

Control flow and pointers are coming in the next part, and it's still surprisingly easy
I've been thinking about this recently. A colleague is participating in a group call and talking to someone I can't hear or see and that's just background noise to me, I can easily tune that out. Another person tends to vocalize his thought process sometimes and it steals my attention in a hard-to-explain unpleasant way every time.
Why does it seem bad? Less of something doesn't necessarily mean its bad.

Perhaps the brain is simply making use of extraneous matter for energy or its purging out unnecessary neurons. Maybe it decreases creativity, but increases arithmetic ability.

My entire point is we have no idea what the end results are, just because there's a reduction doesn't necessarily indicate a problem.
This is like Intel with the apples and tea bags that green badges had to pay for.
There's an excellent video series by Ben Eater on YouTube where he builds an 8-bit CPU on breadboards. I followed along and built something like it in Logisim, but 16-bit. Logisim wasn't very fast, and I was getting really sick of dragging wires around, so I eventually migrated to Icarus Verilog, then Verilator, and GTKWave to examine traces. I'm one of those developers who uses Windows, so WSL came in really handy for all these.

For the RISC CPU I couldn't tell you exactly what resources I used, it was kind of a blur lol. Basically it was Wikipedia, what I remember from computer architecture class 10 years ago, and a lot of googling, mostly lecture slides from classes I didn't get to take in person. I used ChipVerify for Verilog reference a lot. I can't remember what tutorial I used, but there are plenty out there.

Yes? Whats wrong with hiring a cook if you need to cook?
Yeah I love it.

My starfield experience has been great. The metagame with newgame+ doesnt interest me at all however.

It seems like crafting has gone downhill in terms of UX since Fallout4, but that would be easy for them to fix.
Mildly chuffed to see there is someone else out there like this; I'm the exact same way. I don't touch type properly, don't use home row, but type at a pretty decent clip when it's familiar - even code. Slow down quite a bit in new territory.

What sometimes gets me though - I think one word, but type another. It's almost always the same starting letter or letters though. It's like the muscle memory kicks in, but takes the wrong fork in the road or something. Very odd.

Sony isn't a supplier for a cheap OLEDs. LG, BOE, and other Chinese competitors are. Random game tend to have static HUD that is a risk for burn in. I imagine that Samsung OLED is a safe choice for game console thanks to Nintendo's verification.
The staffing agencies benefits are always subpar and more expensive.

And you’re right about the difference between “staff augmentation” contractors pay and SMEs. I just went into detail in a sibling reply.

But to add on, the company I ended up being a tech lead at with a full time position. I came in at $65/hour. I only took the job because I saw a chance to eventually wiggle my way into a tech lead role and I wanted to be on the ground floor of a green field project. I ended up working so much overtime - and getting paid for it - I made out pretty well compared to the local market. I got on my wife’s health insurance.

I also mentioned that now that I am a SME on a niche but growing AWS service [1], I am able to charge $135 an hour for a side project and that’s a discount.

[1] I beta tested the APIs while working at AWS and I was a major contributor on a popular open source official “AWS Solution” that’s built on top of it.

I got stuck there due to a bug. When I played that bug was already known about and reported to them for like 6 months. This after the game was already supposed to be "fixed". I wont ever bother again.
I'm not an expert on the history, but I think older processors didn't have say a divide instruction at a bunch of different widths, there'd be one special width and everything bigger had to break out into a more complex implementation based on the divide for the smaller width. Int was supposed to be that special width that was one-to-one with underlying instructions.
Lightweight graph database NeuroDB successfully deployed on ARM chip and Android
The lightweight graph database NeuroDB has been successfully deployed on Android mobile platforms with ARM chip architecture. In theory, NeuroDB can be deployed on any chip capable of running C target programs, which will have a significant impact on IoT and edge computing.
It helps those countries further enhance their own Military R&D (ICBM research often goes hand in hand with Rocket research - that's why India and China started their space programs) while also becoming a PR coup for China+Russia.
Regarding math is racist, I read your linked article and it had a link[1] to an article discussing the mindset behind the classes ran by Shraddha Shirude. She talks about the way math class is taught normally:

>They come into math class with a learned helplessness because of the way that math has been structured: teach how to do things, then hand them the thing, and they practice. It’s the I do, we do, you do — [a] very common strategy used in mathematics education, and it’s still taught today. Their point is I show them, I model it, I show them what being a good mathematician looks like, we do it all together, and then they try it on their own. And this linear thought doesn’t allow for creativity, but mathematics is an inherently creative content area.

I can confirm I'm not a math person by standardized tests. I literally randomly guessed on the Math portion of the only ACT because that was better than me trying.

If we inherited the normal math teaching method from European origins, it definitely failed me. I'm fascinated by math in many ways, but only because I sometimes glimpse its beauty - like watching a XYZ axis CNC drilling machine doing its thing, seeing XYZ coordinates going by on the program screen, and suddenly realizing what trigonometry is for, and what it's describing.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's racist by definition anymore than Astronomy is because we accept what an Italian said he observed in the sky. I suppose the "racist" portion would be assuming it's the only correct way, or the superior way to teach.

The thing that was a huge let down was the fact that 95% of planets were just barren and procedural generated with the same outposts and the same layouts. It provided no incentive to explore, because there simply wasn't anything unique out there.

XBMC and all the wacky homebrew software extended the life of my original Xbox by more than a decade. I still think the linksbox browser did alphabet input better than any other controller software I've seen. And it was always fun in college to host a Mario Kart 64 night (emulated on Xbox) in the dorms and see the expressions on people's faces when they looked from the controllers to the screen, and then back and forth again. :)

And I still use 2 original Xboxs at LAN parties here and there. Even with a softmod and Linux, it's still possible to system link Halo, Halo 2, Battlefront (2004), Battlefront 2 (2005), Crimson Skies, Metal Arms, and other games across at least three generations of console (Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One) with 16-to-32 people. Microsoft does backward compatibility like almost no one else, even on console.

It's getting harder to find replacement controllers, but I've found a local hardware guy in my city who can help find the right replacement parts as little pieces on the board start to fail. I plan on keeping both of mine running as long as possible!
It was a concern but didn't happen often. I did consider making some kind of reflective roof for it.

The phones are too tall to fit there now (even the original SE), so there's going to have to be some rework anyway!
The age gap explains a lot of difference for me. I expected it with Douglas Adams. They should make a big deal about it when someone passes at such a young age. (And 70 is also young)

However, it was still too much. If Jobs' passing got 100x the attention, maybe it should have only been 10x.
Oh yeah I can agree with the muscle memory of it. I often cannot remember little nuances of syntax when instructing others what to type, but it just comes out if I’m typing it. I often have to go start typing it in a scratch pad to double check myself hah!

I also realize how much of what I use all the time is actually “ctrl-r <first few characters of commonly used one liner>” and have to go double check that when working with others. A blend of muscle memory and a search index of commands.
So you would say that phones are becoming PCs too? Your definition is not what most people think when they hear the word PC.

I can't readily find it to cite but I recall once talking to someone on HN who was decrying discrimination or lack of inclusion or whatever in discussion of an article about some wealthy, influential founders and I think one was a woman and one was gay and one was a person of color or ethnic origin.

I've also seen people talk about how successful people may be of different ethnicities but are "all well-paid Silicon Valley programmers" or whatever.

A lot of people seem to feel those who have "made it" in some sense are all insiders with the right connections, the same culture and yadda -- and don't confuse them with the facts.
It very much matters - paid time off, benefits, employer paid FICA taxes (if you are 1099). All that is just money and if you are an SME you can negotiate for a high enough hourly rate to make up the difference.

But if you are just doing staff augmentation, probably not.
That is not necessarily true.

As another commenter pointed out, average review time is likely a misleading figure, since the overwhelming majority of decisions are made automatically, using predetermined rules engines.

So nearly all decisions take zero seconds, and a small minority take much longer, leading to an average of 1.2 seconds, when in reality, those claims that are reviewed manually take far more than 1.2 seconds to review.

As the other commenter put it: “(most cases take 0 time) + (a low number of cases take non-zero time) = 1.2 seconds on average.”
This has a "Silicon Valley tabs vs spaces" Richard vibe all over it. Nobody's forcing you to use ligatures - it's IDE / font specific.

This happens to me all the time! “Thought” instead of “though” comes up often, but I know I’ll just type in completely different words than I meant to as well. I am always reading back anything I send a minute later, just to catch the silly mistakes and correct them. It is probably annoying for the people reading the newly-sent message, when it shifts around while they are reading it. Sorry!
> the Russian program being in steep decline

Idk.

The Russian program seems to be weaker at operationalizing in 2023 but still has a lot of IP from the USSR era.

China is making massive strides but doesn't seem to have as deep IP experience yet.

Imo I wouldn't oversell the Chinese and undersell the Russians.

> JAXA and ISRO would most likely contribute with base components or related

That tracks, and fits with their specialities.

Also, I didn't realize JAXA, ESA, and ISRO are part of Artemis. NASA needs to have a better PR team. The Chinese Lunar Base is getting so much PR despite being much more behind Artemis

Edit: they signed the Artemis accords, they are not part of the similarly named Artemis Program

It’s more frequently inferior to have a shorter-range fuel source when you regularly drive longer distances.

Journalists, particularly at Bloomberg, often approach observations with bias and ignorance that actively interferes with thinking and problem solving.
Doesn't chrome out of the box handle all of that?
Back in the day I heard stories of how some of the better ACM ICPC world final participants turned out to be rather slow typers. But the idea was that they figured out what to do before they type, and their own clarity of thought allowed them to type correct code without having to backtrack. It helped that most of the time the solutions are pretty short.

I consider myself a pretty good problem solver of contest problems, but often I have to type code the same way people use pencil and paper to go through drafts, so I can't relate that well.
"[...] a cybercrime group conducting espionage, or a government-sponsored espionage group conducting cybercrime?"

> which in no way negates the claim [about physics and philosophy]

Whether that claim is true or not depends on the meanings people assign to the terms "physics" and "philosophy." Newton may have called himself a philosopher but we're not obliged to follow suit. If the fruits of his labor today are taught as physics but not as philosophy, that supports the argument that today we should regard him as a physicist by today's standards and not a philosopher.
My biggest beef with it is the arrow keys are nestled among the page up/page down keys. I'm constantly miss-striking PgUp when I'm just trying to arrow around.

Secondary issues are bad multi-display support. It kind-of works, but often at least one screen glitches out if there's not at least one window maximized on it.

And all the USB ports, C included all run into the same host controller, so you've just got the one bus-worth's of bandwidth which is a bit rough if you're docking into multiple screens, a good camera, audio, network, etc.
> It’s difficult to type and think at the same time

I'm pretty good at typing, but not anything special, at around 90-95 words per minute. I type while thinking all the time, although usually the thinking is the slow part.

Other have mentioned speed and accuracy, but one thing that has been a huge advantage to me is being able to type confidently enough while not looking at the keyboard or screen (or only checking infrequently). It is pretty helpful to be able to have a conversation looking at the person while taking notes, rather than saying "let me write that down" every 5 seconds, interrupting the flow of the conversation.
I had read that they believe a volcanic eruption is imminent. The resort is in the path of a lava flow if the eruption occurs.

> Certainly in the tech world, it is hard to describe contract work as "beneath human dignity".

Realistically in the US the distinction is mainly about whether you have medical coverage. Plenty of people work with no or bad medical coverage because they are some combination of optimistic/greedy/desperate; to assess how humane that is you'd have to look at how they feel about it after getting diagnosed with something that they struggle to get decent treatment for because they weren't an employee.

Good timing! I was having a conversation today with someone on a CUDA discord about it. The CUDA examples generally use `int` for the pointer size. I'd assumed it was a shorthand for 32-bit-unsigned integer from the context, but it's apparently a standin that the compiler attempts to do the right thing with.

So, it's often used as you'd use `usize` in Rust, but not always! For now, my model is: use `int` where you would use `usize` in rust. It can also be used for other things, but it's better to use `uint32_t` or another explicitly-sized type.
