Not necessarily. C isn't a great language to target, since it's full of fun undefined behavior quirks that you will trip over if you look at it slightly cross-eyed. And part of the problem with the long tail platforms is that they can have issues that you don't expect (e.g., function pointers and data pointers might have different representation!).

So the main set of platforms you're looking at are ones that are functional enough to have modern, stable C compilers, aren't too quirky that reasonably portable C code would "just" work, and yet ones that you don't already have support for in Rust. Outside of the embedded space, there's like... fewer than 5 architectures left, the most notable of which probably being Alpha.
Hashing can be done in a stored procedure. Maybe the organization decided that it's better for the DBA to handle hashing. Nonstandard maybe but not necessarily bad.
It certainly shows alcohol isn’t the limiting factor. Anyone could change any number of things to be as healthy as those folks, but for whatever reason academics instead insist alcohol is the problem.

If the best software engineers in the role all consistently use rubber duck debugging, it may not be the case that rubber duck debugging is what makes them the best software engineers in the world, but it’d take a whole lot more evidence than some academic on a podcast saying “rubber duck debugging is harmful to software engineers” to convince me it isn’t at least worth a shot.
> Datomic has a notion of rules which are mostly syntax sugar and do not support this sort of recursive reasoning.

> Why is that a big deal? When rules are run automatically, you can build live, reactive systems, not just a database that sits around waiting for you to query it.

There was at least one serious attempt to bring these worlds together: https://github.com/sixthnormal/clj-3df
Exactly this. This market is so hot there are bot rentals that cost $1,000s/mo to run and a whole black market of AWS accounts with 25-100K credits to run those bots to “cop a drop”.
I'm curious how Datomic local stacks up against SQLite for embedded databases. Is there a clear use case when I should use Datomic over SQLite?
I remember back in the day everyone insisted C codebases had to be C89 so people could compile them in visual studio. EG the python interpreter. Is this still the case?
Consider how many governments signed 8+ figure contracts to develop apps. Why would this kind of waste be any different in other industries? It's humans all the way down ;)
To be clear, I think you can and should avoid a “pervasive sense of nihilism” at any organization. My quibble is with the people who think somehow Google should overcome this by finding their inner Googliness or tapping into founder magic. The solutions exist but they are hard work. They are probably more about abandoning illusions like that.

(The example of Steve Jobs might suggest that founders might have some magic after all. Maybe in this one way: he was a brutal editor and simplifier, and he was a good talent spotter. So if he had any founder magic it was _focus_, not some “spark” of indulging dreamy creativity.)
So… what’s your new last name?
War and Peace contains a lot of essays about his thoughts on how history moves along with Napoleon's invasion of Russia as a case study. Tolstoy argues that the conventional understanding that great men move history forward is wrong; rather, such men are carried along by events they have no control over and are simply obliged to ratify faits accomplis to appear to be leading anything. (he also argues Kutuzov was a great commander for intuitively understanding this and not trying to resist the current of history, unlike Napoleon)
ErgoAI is as "an enterprise-level extension of the Flora-2 system" which was recently open-sourced: https://github.com/ErgoAI . It seems to be well documented.
Good mention of the euphemism treadmill. But even without euphemisms....

"Lame," "retarded," etc.-- they were direct (non-euphemistic) words describing attributes. But because they're associated with marginalized groups, they quickly become derogatory (and euphemisms to the extent that they could express negative judgment on other things: "Fortnite is lame").

In the end, language expresses who we are: even the negative aspects of us.
> Women in their early age are attracted to the risk-taking macho who lives on the edge and pleases her.

This isn't really broadly true. Women in their early age are just as varied as the rest of us. I know women who were raised in a setting where they were expected to be parents (cleaning, cooking, looking after the younger siblings) and so naturally never learned healthy boundaries, and thought looking after a manchild was normal. I know women who were raised in a setting where abusive men were also normal and so they accepted romantic abuse. I know women who were simply alone and didn't have support systems to help them through the isolation and financial constraints that is entering an abusive relationship by men who promised traditional breadwinning homelives.

It's dismissive to wave off an entire gender this way and not consider all the ways we already dismiss women. Of course, if women are constantly exposed to men lambasting them for being 20 year old sluts as a category, how do they enter healthy sexual relationships with men?

I’ve a single condo rental in Portland. It’s the home my wife and I bought when we got married but rent out now cuz we’re in Germany. It’s rented at less than market because of many reasons none having to do with the state of the home — it’s the nicest place I’ve ever seen — but mostly my ignorance in being a landlord. That being said we try to be the best landlords we can. We fix things ASAP and try to make it like we’d like it if we were renting there.

From what I remember the city of Portland at least had such a dirth of units being offered for section 8 due to many landlords having had their units trashed or otherwise fearful of the general bad press about section 8 tenants that there’s not a lot landlords willing to participate in the program leading to a lack of supply.

The upside for landlords though is that the govt pays the rent and it’s often a higher amount than one might get otherwise. There are of course downsides.
I contributed to `twbs/bootstrap` and got the badge too, lol.
I really worry that we're discussing these topics like idiots. I totally understand why you would look at a peice of technology that can enable 1 worker to do the work of 5 and panic. But... we're not living in Dickensian Britain. We know what happens when technology enables massive productivity improvements and the answer isn't mass unemployment. We're not living in some dystopia where typewriters caused mass unemployment.

I actually think to a large extent the corporate world is putting the cart before the horse. Unemployment is at an historic low, wages are growing fast and so this is a great story to tell as to how you're going to continue to exploit labour to enrich capital.
It is possible by deforming it in the fourth dimension, like folding paper. However, the shapes that can be created by folding are considered limited.
I grabbed a bus pirate about a year ago thinking "oh, of course it will support JTAG"

This involved flashing a third party firmware. From a project which refuses to release binaries. I had to install something like 5GB of toolchains to build it, and then THEN! I had to manually edit the resulting .hex file. At some point the binary is converted to an ASCII representation of the hex pairs, but all letters converted to uppercase. Then it's parsed back into binary with the wrong values. I had to manually search and replace uppercase letters with lowercase.

I've seen a lot of dumb software nonsense in my time, but this one really takes the cake.

It also never actually worked. Hopefully the firmware on this revision is less terrible
I have no counterparty risk, no confiscation risk. There are no extra steps, I don’t understand what you mean, moving funds to a bank or debit card at a convenience store is massively more complicated.

I open a wallet app and the paypal app, copy the deposit address from paypal to the clipboard, paste into the wallet, type the amount, hit send. 5 seconds later paypal receives it. With one button I swap any portion of it to USD on the paypal app. I do this in large enough amounts so the crypto TX fees are insignificant to get into paypal, and the conversion fees are also small.

Any extra fees are more than covered by the long term appreciation of the Bitcoin, which will obviously continue as governments worldwide are drunk of their own power to print.

It only affecting one datacenter is good news, IMO:

It makes it likely that the attackers didn't breach Tietoevry itself, or that they had only very limited access (unless Tietoevry has incredibly good separation between business units, so that only a small subset is affected).

That increases the chance that the customers have to deal with an outage, not an outage followed by ransom demands and their customer data being leaked.

If a school only accepts students capable of attaining high grades, in what sense is that school good? That's no proving the school teaches well, it's proof that they're trying to avoid having to teach.
I don’t mean a peer reviewed study as a source, we’re not evaluating a paper here. Rather, I was looking for any kind of justification to that user’s claim, because it sounded like one of those “this what I want, thus it’s what most people want too” cases. That idea is further reinforced from the other comments they got.
I abhor graebers writing,but this conclusion is reasonable. "The entire framework of society" I think the point is, that the entire framework of society developed to enrich people who are already rich. Palace and Temple economies wouldn't have existed if they didn't raid and ultimately conquer their agrarian neighbors. Surely there's a social framework that doesn't require violence? If there isn't, shouldn't there be?

>Anarchist writers always seem unable to grasp this.

hmmmmm

You might be unfamiliar with it but that doesn’t mean it’s not real. There’s a long academic literature around the cost of road infrastructure to the adjacent communities, and how that’s been disproportionately borne by people who are poor, undervalued minorities, etc. The average American city has a significant fraction of its area committed to car infrastructure for people who don’t live or pay taxes there, and it’s their communities divided by highways or unsafe high-speed roads, their health being lowered by the constant noise, their kids getting asthma at higher rates, and their families having to live with the consequences of fatal car crashes.
About 6-7 years ago, I attended a hacker convention and of course I made the rounds to pick up swag.

American Express had brought a limited supply of fidget spinners, and they were in extremely high demand. I was unable to secure one of my own.

PayPal had the best cache of stuff. They had this earphone holder that was designed like a fishbone. You were supposed to wrap the cord around the "ribs". Then I also picked up a shirt that said on the back "report phishing attempts to phishing@paypal.com".

I wore the shirt in public and a woman accosted me at a bus stop. She asked me if I worked for PayPal, which I denied. Then she told me anyway about some dispute she had. I decided to stop wearing the shirt and other swag that wasn't directly related to me.
Actually it is a mix of factors, companies enjoy their downstream forks without contributing to upstream thanks license.

Almost all major compiler vendors have migrated to clang forks and if they contribute upstream, is on the backend side, for their platforms, not fronted changes.

Big contributors like Apple and Google, deciding to refocus on their own languages, and current language support being good enough for their LLVM use cases.
From memory I was doing something like write-output $var within a loop. My assumption was that a single item was readable at write time by the right hand side of the pipe. It built up something like a gig in memory before it was readable, which wasn't what I was expecting.

What would have been the way to make that more like a unix pipe? I didn't get to the bottom of it as time didn't permit.
They definitely don't run hot. In addition to Dreamcasts, they were used in many appliance type devices like NAS, and I've never seen or heard of any that require cooling.

Not solving all security issues isn't the same as not solving security issues. I'd rather my financial data be handled by software written in something that solves many whole classes of vulnerabilities than something that solves none of them.

Are you sure?

Many more people admire Taj Mahal or Ancient Greek/Roman buildings than, say, brutalist architecture. Heck, even Art Deco, while distinctly modern, seems to be likeable.

I am fairly conservative myself, but I like some new Czech buildings, such as the Masaryčka project by Zaha Hadid. It has a soaring soul that is hard to describe, but nevertheless you can feel the positive vibe of the structure when you walk underneath it.

https://www.masarycka.com/cs/o-projektu/

On the other hand, Le Corbusier architecture (mostly older than me, so I should have been used to it) looks like deliberate insult to anything human: look at this concrete prison I made for you and weep and gnash your teeth because there is no escape from its rotting ugliness, you worm.

You should not make such blanket statements about groups of people. And then especially blame it on culture when it is in fact your opinion/experience.
> what kind of heat shrink was it?

The ones on the plugs/connectors were the usual ones, the one I put on the SBC was thick as I couldn’t find a thin big one, and I was afraid to damage the SBC while applying the heat, so maybe it was the double layer type? But I don’t know.

>how big was the waterproof enclosure?

It was big enough to house the SBC (jetson Nano) and some other components needed for the UUV, not exact size but probably ~20x15cm.

> better off making an aluminum plate with a raised pad that you can mount the CPU to directly and use a gasket to allow the outside of the aluminum to conduct the heat directly into the water

That’s actually a really smart idea, thanks!! I did have a heatsink (those small ones fit the cpu size) but it was under that heat shrink tube so probably made things worse.

> Assuming you’re not going to crazy depths

We didn’t exceed 50m depth, still I was concerned the pressure might leak some water into the enclosure and this I used the heat shrink.

Yeah, but teenagers will intrinsically try and rebel against what is "good"; what I think this article drives at, in simpler terms, is that just telling someone they should or shouldn't do this or that isn't enough. Teenagers will resist this "just so" authority, ask "why though?", but even if a complete answer is given they will have to find out for themselves.

"Why should I go to bed at this time?" they will ask. Then they try staying up all night and realize they're useless the next day.

"Why shouldn't I drink?" they ask, then drink a lot and forget how they got home, but won't forget how sick they are the next day.

And this isn't a one off thing, many people continue this thing until well in their twenties; some never learn. But those that do and have kids of their own will continue the cycle; don't do this, do do that, because I found out the hard way that if you don't do as I'm trying to tell you, bad things will happen and your life may be worse off. In theory.

(many caveats there, I am not a psychologist, I'm just a 30 some year old who considered himself a good kid but ended up pretty under-matured with a load of relationship problems to show for it. And now a teenager in my house too, who is a lot more rebellious, lol)

Yea, having to pay attention to the "world outside my brain" is such a distraction from my true identity!

Instead of making it all worse by allowing traffic to flow more often, let's introduce stop lights in the middle of blocks so there's more equality in who get's to stop being distracted by the outside universe, and instead focus on our true selves, which of course involves our online accounts with large corporations.

Driving is such a distraction from being on the phone...

Its an awful awful book.
I don't think there's such a thing as a human incapable of violence, given the right situation. Check out the reaction of every other mammal on the planet when cornered in a life-threatening situation. Many are incapable of effective violence, but as a last resort it's hardwired. Being a peaceful person on a daily basis is a measure of how socialized you are and how much negotiation and compromise you're capable of, but that in turn is a measure of your ability to evaluate risk and threat in a sane, socialized way. Non-peaceful people are in
some ways reacting to everything as if it were a threat to their lives.

Harmlessness and peaceability are orthogonal to each other. One can be violent and harmless just as easily as peaceable and dangerous.
I routinely use airdrop to transfer mapping data when fighting bushfires in remote areas. There’s no network of any kind on most of these, but with a geocoded PDF map and Avenza we can still plot going edges, mark hotspots and dangerous trees, etc.

Being able to quickly squirt all of that, including photos, to another crew is a literal lifesaver.
> People refer to toxic masculinity, a set of problematic behaviors some men exhibit as part of attempting to appear "manly" that includes traits such as: homophobia, glorifying unhealthy habits (e.g., drinking like a man, don't cry like a woman, mental health issues depicted as "weakness", etc.) They're not referring to masculinity, itself, as being toxic.

Yes, toxic masculinity ≠ masculinity. Broadly speaking, toxic masculinity has to do with behaviors that are deleterious to the one behaving that way, others, or both. Nobody is going to claim for example that a man’s efforts to be a warm, supportive father who strives to be his family’s rock (a pretty traditional male archetype) are toxic.
I've seen this approach on smaller teams working at private companies in less-regulated industries. Think a team of 3-5 devs working at a small company.

> Between a=5√2 and b=2√13 which one is bigger?

No need to memorize square roots here. Simply square both sides and it’s clear that 50 < 52.

If x^2 < y^2 then x < y (ignoring negative numbers…).

More generally, these types of “math tricks” are about solving for the answer. Not solving for the parts of the question. It’s a great lessom for life, especially working in software.
This is an extremely elitist take.

Obviously you're never worried about AI/Computers/Immigrants (underline your "reason" of choice) if you're in the top 1% of your field. It's like people who developed a bunch of their own libraries and then worked as a google Architect for 10 years giving everyone else advice on job hunting.

From a utilitarian point of view, I see his reason for saying it (not a great loss for society if the bottom 50% of some industry falls out), but it's still a very privileged take (some would even say tone-deaf)
Even if they explain the reasons, doesn't mean the kid will listen; reason may not apply. May also depend on their personality, temprament, communication style, etc. You can try "analyzer" style communications with a "promoter" style teenager but they have tuned out after 10 seconds already and think you're a buzzkill, intentions aside.

"Fuck around and find out" is a great phrase to use in such cases.

There's nothing that would prevent them from using C strings. Since they want a safe language, I doubt this would be a reason they don't want to use D.

This is a bad question, because there really is no language in 2024 that you can learn everything in a day.

Again, a bad question. Even C is evolving. The main complaint about D is that it isn't evolving fast enough, with too much emphasis on avoiding breaking changes. If they implement editions, it actually would work as OP wants, because code that compiles today will compile forever in the future.
Toc v2 – Generate a table of contents from the comments of a file
Hi all!

`toc` is a command line utility that generates the table of contents of a file from a special kind of comments.

Think it as a `tree` for the contents of a file, instead of a directory.

With version 2, I rewrote it in python for consistency and maintainability, and I added the possibility to embed the output in the original file
