There are a number of reasons, some already presented. One more: you are (you are supposed to at least) much more likely to change the implementation of a library than its interface. You don't want to have all project files which need the interface be recompiled every time you change the implementation.
ya, but they aren't really making money insider trading. at least in aggregate. full analysis of their trades usually show an underperforming portfolio, despite grandiose articles that claim the opposite, which just cherry pick a few successful trades and ignore the bad and mediocre ones. It's mostly power brokering and it's the same way rich people and their children get and stay rich. Money flows to those with money because people want to buy influence and power.
Probably because most people assume that private code will remain private.

Anything POSIX should do, no?

Anyway, I still think the point stands: many lower level targets do not have C++ or Rust compilers, but do have okay-ish C compilers.

You replied to

> I can think of several embedded platforms where Rust or C++ is not even an option.

… asking “Go on, name a few”. I understood this as “name a few targets for which C++ and/or Rust is unavailable”.

These targets do exist and are perhaps more common than you assume. In my own experience, it is mostly seen with small micros though.

But perhaps I misunderstood you?
> The actual problem are libraries with hundreds or thousands of source files in dozens of directories and a CMakeLists.txt file from hell.

Why is that a problem? If you have a large library, surely it's better to properly break it up into separate files?!

> no need for a package manager.

Well, yeah if you don't want even a build system, large projects in general become really difficult to maintain anyway. The solution seems to be like every programming language created after 1989? Have a package manager and make it irrelevant if the library contains 1 file or 1000. What's the reason C resists so much using a package manager, even when similarly low level languages like Rust and Zig have them and make them first class citizens?
Do you think you know better than the companies developing these products and the consumers buying them? Do you believe you understand what the right products and fair prices should be? This seems to justify your use of terms like 'highway robbery' and calling people 'stupid'.

What Are the Best Practices for Managing Feature Flags in Software Development
Usually you have health insurance until the next month when you leave a job, it’s not the same day. This is really surprising to me.
It proves that you destroyed X coins.
Example, with the Bitfinex hack, about 120k Bitcoins were stolen, but they were blacklisted and unspendable even on the darknet. So the hypothetical hacker could try to negotiate returning x percent of the coins if he is let go with the rest. Burning coins could prove that he means business, and that he could just burn the entire 120k Bitcoins.

There must be something going on behind the scenes.
I'd say it's irrelevant whether it caused "inflammation" or whether it might do so. That in itself is no grounds for any attempt at censorship.

Not very long ago in developed countries "agitating for women's suffrage" or "kissing a person of the same sex" or "a white woman marrying a black man" would be inflammatory. In many places it still is.

Its a means to detach yourself from digital world and still be connected in less toxic ways.
OK. I see.

I think the regular, unsophisticated user might still be confused. I already envision questions like: "Should I buy a lifetime license in the free version or the paid pro app?". There are also additional hurdles like, for example, reviews being divided between 2 separate apps. I don't know, maybe it's worth it, but I am hesitant. I want to keep the whole experience of Paper simple, and this just adds complexity. I would prefer to wait for Apple to solve this at some point in the future.

Paper does support family sharing, by the way.

The session key is for autofill, like what autofills during MFA.

Whatever is stolen IS okay, because every request to the server encrypts using that session key which is stored in the cookie, the random string that the server send to the user inside a JWT, which can’t be modified and the server checks that the result of the encryption is what it supposed to be. The browser defends from stealing the cookie, however if SSSL is broken hackers can sniff anything they like. Which in this case will not help them anymore.

And it’s easy to implement (for me) hence I want to offer it to novice users for a small cloud usage fee. Maybe like 5 dollars a month for 1000 requests, 15 dollars for 10,000 requests, 50 for 50,000 and 500 for standalone server.

What do you say?
It is great to see the number of good opensource projects in this area. Grist and NocoDB deserve mentions, although more targeted towards database management. It is also amazing that they provide so simple ways to get started (single file/electron)

I'm guessing it would be like a fever dream to let an LLM be the dungeon master in isolation. Things would change after the fact in weird ways, especially when the context grows too large.

But what about coupling an LLM with a physics simulator and a 3D world model?

You still interact with the LLM in a text interface, but hidden conversations take place with the simulator where the LLM can interrogate the current state of the 3D world simulator to describe it to the player. You could even do this using GPT4-Vision to interpret rendered images. When the player performs an action, it is translated into "physical" actions into the 3D world simulator which updates its state.

It feels like someone should have done this already?
This varies from trivial to very hard to mostly data dependent with different architectures. llvm-mca might be of interest.

One should be able to do a best-case calculation, mostly assuming caches hit and branch prediction gets the answer right. Register renaming manages to stay out of the way.

Getting more dubious, there is a statistical representation of program performance on unknown (or partially known) data. One might be able to estimate that usefully, though I haven't seen it done.
> They give you the skills necessary to interact with your life today.

I'm fully interacting with my life today. My life today is not a problem. I'm the master of survival skills for my particular environment - I would've died already otherwise.

The problem is the circumstances that failed to cultivate and extract my potential. The problem was leaving me to fend for myself. The problem was godlessness, immorality, violence, and stupidity.

No therapist can fix that. Ergo, therapy is a waste of time.

Manipulating Yourself for Fun and Profit
You're still going to need a street address somewhere for tax and other legal purposes, including registering and titling that car or RV.

Before anyone says "just use a PO box for that", those need a street address too (and also proof of residing in the city or county the PO box is located in). Plenty of services also refuse PO boxes too, including vehicle titles/registrations and a driver's license.

Yes, you could try convincing a very good friend or family member to lend you their street address if you really can't or won't pay for a place of residence yourself, but that's literally leeching off their generosity and good will which doesn't sound like a nice way of living if you ask me.
Thanks. I feel so much better now.

Interesting title, I have to use an in house package for electrical/instrument engineering and it is 100% ride the mouse, no key short-cuts or macro/scripting facilities.

So it looks great at the demo, but once you start really using it the GUI is just a PIA and you wonder when you are going to get RSI.

Plus when you have to do something repetitive it becomes mind-numbing and it becomes easy to make errors.

Often it seems GUI has a much faster start from zero, but then limits you at a fraction of possible productivity with nowhere to go.

Spending the coins actually means to get someone else to do something you think is useful. Money itself has no value.

> Unfortunately health insurance is easily misused. We started relying on it to pay for all health care, rather than to actually mitigate the risk of a sudden medical bill. The result has been a rapid and continual increase in the price of health care over the last 70–80 years caused directly by the fact that nobody pays for the services they use, but instead pays into insurance plans that then pay for the care.

I don't think it's as simple as that. Empirically, lots of countries have health insurance systems whose incentive structure could be described in the same way, yet the US is an extreme outlier in healthcare costs. Something else must be going on.
I was laid off mid way through the prior year. After spending a few months looking for a new job I felt degraded so I made a promise to myself that I would never go back to work primarily writing JavaScript. This resulted in a big shift in how I started looking for work. Ironically, the people that really steered me right in how to perform a career change were highly empathetic recruiters trying to fill their open JavaScript roles.

I changed my approach to my resume based upon their suggestions. They would actually rewrite it for me to the point of it almost becoming a fraudulent document but I was able to take it and double down on my strengths and unique qualities. This allowed me to become a hot candidate for defense jobs because I already had a security clearance and information security certifications.

It turns out if you have good experience programming there is a lot you can do outside of programming, in my current case: data science and API management. Good luck.

I dunno their mice are ok. I've got a G203 on the PC and an MX Master 3 on the mac and they are both excellent. The G203 is the best mouse I've used since the MS optical mice.

Only downside is you have to turn all the RGB lights crap off on the G203.
> A JS standard library would be a drop in the bucket compared to the size and complexity of the DOM libraries and implementing a usably performant JS engine.

It's still a nonzero amount of complexity. I see a lot of "v8 is really hard to compete with" comments on here so this feels very pertinent to mention. You can't have it both ways.

> Yes it should be done carefully. There are also plenty of examples of how this can be done well, done by experienced engineers. For example, the Dart starndard library (https://dart.dev/libraries - core [1], collection [2] and async [3] in particular) is a very good model that would fit JS fairly well too (with some tweaks and removals)

Isn't the cost of actually running the card dwarfed by the cost of the card itself? e.g. even if we look at an old card like the A100 at 100% 24/7 that's about 3500 kWh per year which is what $300-$500 depending on the location?

if we Intel could come out with a card that could do anything the A100 does at half the price but 4x power usage it could still be somewhat competitive.
ya I understand I could get new switches or somehow fix these, but its one of those 'even if they honor the warranty, how many times am I interested in dealing with poorly designed and failing peripherals'.

The first time you replace something under warranty you feel good because wow they honored the warranty. The 6th time you realize the products themselves have design flaws and being replaced under warranty is just hassle my life doesn't need, especially at the prices logitech charges for their products.

My last remaining logitech product is a g603 I bought for $30 at costco and it will likely be my last logitech product until they can demonstrate they're not building things to fail early anymore.
I'm trying to see a way for burning the coins to be useful in some way, but I'm not yet seeing it in your scenario. If it were the case that there had been a theft, and the thief wanted to be able to spend a fraction of what they stole (instead of get it all blacklisted), wouldn't the deal involve sending the remaining fraction back to the original owners? If you steal something from me, I'm interested in getting (at least some fraction of) that thing back, not in you provably destroying some fraction of it.
