As has even been discussed on HN over the years (!), the cause is unknown.* This is one of the motivations to replace the official kilogram with a definition based on measurable natural quantities, as had been done with the second and the meter. It took until 2018 to do so: https://www.nist.gov/si-redefinition/kilogram-introduction

I think the counterintuitive thing about bringing up Brazilian cities here is that central Sao Paolo (where just the central part has about 3x the population of San Francisco) feels richer than San Francisco. And the favelas on the edges, which have a population larger than the whole Bay Area, feel poorer than almost anywhere in the world, with nowhere in the US that can hold a candle to such. And just the favelas of Sao Paolo have a population larger than most US states.
It is well known companies that guarantee paying the minimum salary and pension for staff members immediately lower innovation - it happens all the time in Sweden, a country with a higher innovation index per capita than the US (according to World Bank/UN annual studies).
They are new Priuses. Sure they can accelerate in straight line much faster... and that's about it.

Colleague has model S, the most powerful plug he can have in his Swiss home can charge 9km of normal ride per hour (forget hills or generally cold weather like we have now till April). So overnight he is happy if he gets enough charge to go to work and back. I can't imagine living with constant range anxiety like that, since he has only this car.

Sure there is 150KWh charger somewhere out there, so now he needs to plan trips specifically to top up, with some waiting included.

> how is memory management done?

It always uses malloc/free with no way to specify your own allocator, it nearly always assumes malloc succeeds, and when it does check it thinks malloc(0) returning NULL is an error, it prefers to malloc the maximal possible size then realloc smaller, and it does not document the API's memory ownership policy.

(For example, you have to read the code to learn that sorted_strings returns a sorted copy of the input strings, rather than the sorted string array in-place.)

A function like longest_common_prefix always mallocs space, when I would think just knowing the prefix size is more useful in an embedded program.

> Either way, seems like a fantastic toolkit for working in C!

Do take care as it appears to have a lot of small issues.

Take https://github.com/gregoryc/standardlib/blob/4fb308a5716927e... for example. It processes each regular file in a directory and saves the result to the file:

char *file_data;
char *new_str = map_function(file_data = read_file(entry->d_name));
free(file_data);
write_file(entry->d_name, file_data);
free(new_str);

This should write new_str to the file, not file_data, which has already been freed.

Going back to memory ownership, you can also see there is no documentation that map_function must return memory that will be freed by the caller.

Digging deeper, "read_file" uses fopen(filename, "r") to open a file, then a SEEK_END/ftell() to get the size. There is a minor issue that ftell() may report -1 (on my machine it returns -1 for a fifo), causing a malloc(0) which is checked against NULL, and may falsely report a malloc failure rather than being an issue with how it tried to predict the size instead of using dynamic growth.

(The places which use read_file first checks it's a real file, but the file can be changed between the check and its use.)

I also think there's an issue with shellescape as it does not quote backslashes. I think the version in Python's shlex.quote() is more robust.

Then there's the lack of documentation, like, do you expect startswith() and endswith() to be case-insensitive? I don't. Why would you use str_to_double() instead of atof(), and why is there no locale-independent variant?

Quite a few of these seem like they should never be used, like "count_vowels()", which returns 0 for "sky" and 1 for "Brontë". And what is the difference between "is_string_alphanumeric" and "is_alphanumeric"?

Quite a few of these functions might better be written using C11's _Generic (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/479207/how-to-achieve-fu... .
Nvidia appears disinterested in US national security interests and sees sales restrictions as simply an obstacle to be gamed and snuck around.
If the Elf can give themselves infinite life in response to the infinite damage, then they have essentially won, because however much damage the Goblin would deal, they can just go "OK, but before that damage applies I give myself enough life to survive". The Goblin deck can never reach a game state where they win.

If the combos are sequential and the Elf has to commit to a certain number of life before the Goblin commits to a certain number of damage, then the Goblin would win.

There are some other possible intricacies (can they give themselves 1 life infinite times? or infinite life once?) From the mechanics of how the game usually goes, I would assume the first case applies here.
That’s a pretty cool feature of Magit.

No, this line of thinking is basic threat modelling and stops us wasting time and effort on navel gazing when it would be better spent on things we can control. An invasive, non-destructive physical attacker also has access to (likely unencrypted) drives, memory buses, HIDs, audiovisual inputs...

Higher average in itself does not mean that much without taking into account Purchase Power.

From this https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/purchasin... it seems US has about a 10x PPP difference, so your main point stands.
What's the ultimate goal that the US has in denying these chips? It's just strategically to slow down the military and other development of China, right?

Or are they hoping that China will give in to some political demand?
>I am a foreigner living in wealthy Switzerland. They also talk about themselves as being very poor a few decades ago.

Well, every millionaire is very poor when compared to Musk, Gates or Bezos.

My bread and butter is jumping via blame, though I don’t really like emacs’ blame view so I generally use intellij or git gui.

e.g. see something odd / interesting, activate blame view, and “show diff” / “annotate previous revision” to see how the hunk evolved. Often this provides fast-tracking through the file’s history as the hunk goes through inconsequential changes (e.g. reformatting, minor updates) without changing the gist of what sparked your interest.
Semver and this are orthogonal. Semantic versioning is about the semantics of an interface (rest or otherwise).

This is about the version of the underlying implementation.

“LTS” of a semver api is driven by backwards compatibility, so it’s the second section (1.2 vs 1.3).

Declare the “not before” and “not after” of the semver and you have effectively defined lifetime.

Krowki are almost the same as fudge - depending on the recipe and shape those are usually indistinguishable.

But as per se they aren't very famous and are universally liked, so it's a safe thing to bring from Poland. Because ingredients are simple and mostly safe they also make a good gift for pregnant (assuming they want to munch on sugar-milk-butter candies, but who's to judge a sweet-tooth?).

There are a couple of other issues people don't want to talk about (or don't want to admit) as well. Sample size of four here but the problems are interesting.

Firstly it turns out charging your car is a pain in the ass in some places, particularly here in London. The chargers are regularly damaged and poorly maintained or completely rammed. There is also nowhere to park to charge at home. On top of that the electricity pricing options are so volatile that it is actually hard work to find a cost effective charging option on a regular basis which means you have to plan everything. Ad-hoc trips being a planning exercise really doesn't work well.

Secondarily, the cost savings didn't add up when you factor in depreciation and capital cost anyway. Especially when there is nothing competitive to petrol vehicles on the second hand market where the majority of sales volume is.

Add to that the toxic Musk association and the constant pushing and marketing and I think people are getting fatigued and unsympathetic at this point. The market is damaging itself with dishonesty, inflated claims and toxic association.

The four people sold their (3x Tesla, 1x BMW) and two went back to petrol cars and the other two said they'd never own another car again.
I have two 905p SSDs for ZFS cache devices. A two-way redundant point of failure, but these devices are way more durable than NAND flash storage.

A different form factor are the NVMe sticks. Given the relatively small capacity, the 118GB NVMe SSDs were not very expensive, and make ideal system drives for server applications.

But brute force seems to have defeated Optane: Intel's enterprise flash NAND SSDs are just super over-provisioned, retaining gobs of spare capacity that result in 8TB devices with one complete drive write per day durability, every day for five years guaranteed.

Hardly an expert, but it seems more likely to me that GR is the smoothed-out limit of a lot of much smaller stuff happening, than QM is somehow low-level wrinkles in an otherwise perfectly smooth spacetime.

I don't think a smooth anything is physically tractable. You need infinite resolution for perfect smoothness - essentially an infinite amount of information at every point.

Except there are no points. So somehow you have equations that define curvature floating in some kind of metaphysical space which somehow gets mapped to observable phenomena.

And if it's a noisy smoothness - where does the noise come from?

Oh absolutely, so it's all the more important to be precise in what we're estimating and for what purpose, and to be honest about our ability to estimate it with appropriate uncertainty quantification (such as by using conformal prediction methods/bootstrapping).

Linear inspired headless Svelte select dropdown
Hi,

I just open-sourced my version of a headless select dropdown as I was tired of trying to style other select components. It is lacking quite some when it comes to documentation but the demo in the repo should help.

It supports
- Basic select
- Multi select
- Search
- Sub-menus to create layered dropdown (recursive)
- Possibility to "add" new options
- Keyboard navigation

There is hardly any grain-cultivating population in the world that doesn’t have dumplings of some sort. Interestingly, however, the Romanian term colțunași is from Italian by way of Modern Greek, so it cannot be more than a few centuries old in Romanian. One therefore wonders what the earlier Romanian term for dumplings was, or whether dumplings were commonly eaten at all when the Vlach economy was still centered around transhumance.

That would be as good as full-disk encryption, but it is possible and useful to do better than that with a TPM. With physical access to a running machine, it is possible to physically extract data from RAM. Law enforcement agencies even have hotplug devices that let them switch a running computer to battery power so they can seize it while keeping it on and do this.

OTOH it’s also a major advantage of subversion, because if you have long-running branches and need to fix something in all of them all the fixes can be in the same commit across every branch instead of needing a commit in each branch informally linked to the previous one (or formally so via a merge commit if every fix in an older branch has to get ported forwards, as an empty commit if not applicable).

> This disaster is the perfect counter-argument to those always saying

Personally speaking, I think Equihax was the better counter-argument; at least with 23andme YOU as a customer had to DECIDE to use their services and weigh the pros-cons of doing so, with Equihax I was forced into a rating system to determine my eligibility in a system that hoovers up any and all data sold to them by 3rd parties and holds all my personal information in order to complete anything from a loan application to a job application.

And when found to have been breached no effective recourse was made, and instead of admitting fault to a very high probability of Identity theft being the end result a token 'credit system monitoring' service was offered, which once again relies on these credit agencies who share/distribute this information without my consent and created the problem are let off scot-free and never suffer any consequences.

In short, it's a naive argument made from often ignorant and self-defeating practices that make others worse off because of their complacency and refusal to take privacy serious.

The 10x there compares local currency to USD. Given the NOK to USD exchange rate, a 10x PPP difference between NOK and USD means Norway and the US are near parity in terms of purchasing power in USD.

Actually, the salaries are now much closer than I thought, so depending on exactly which measures you use I might well have been wrong that US salaries are (still) much higher than Norwegian ones. The gap used to be fairly huge.

What I'm missing the most is byte granular reading (in case of Optane it was 256 bytes, because of checksums, but that's fine granular enough).

It means it would be possible to read/write data in much more fine granular chunks (potentially saving a lot of storage space in some cases).
ScienceClic on youtube has some really great videos, the first half of the string theory video [1] does a good job framing the conflict at a high level, string theory being one attempt to resolve the problem.

It doesn't go into math but mentions that in the standard model, interactions are local, which for example means something like photon emission is instantaneous. When applied to gravity/gravitons, you get infinities in the math. This sort of makes sense to me, but I have yet to find anything that does an understandable job explaining how/why exactly the math breaks down.

There's a series on the maths of general relativity [2] which I haven't completed but I'm hoping will provide a bit more background to understand the math.

Also, the article mentions that the new theory was motivated by solving the black hole information paradox [3], which there's a good video [4] about as well

Several years ago, one of my customers deployed Rational ClearCase across the company. Every employee and consultant, me included, was signed up for a week-long course on how to use the "Rational Unified Process" and other nonsense like that.

By day 2, it was clear that they were selling us snake oil, but my customer was paying for my time, so I sit through it to the end. A few engineers in the room were genuinely hooked up by the promise of generating 90% of the code from UML, integration streams, automatic "un-branching" and all that.

I wonder what they spent overall in licensing fees, training and lost productivity? And that's probably a fraction of the long-term damage dealt by this absurd process to a large C++ codebase.

Somewhere, I should still have a "degree" issued by Rational University :-)
We have them in neighboring Slovakia too (not surprising), filling is mostly some potato+cheese paste (but you can end up with sweet ones with ie plums in some households).
