This is a long-needed, but gratefully accepted improvement to GCC. I've seen in the wild just how many people see a 'warning' and consider it ignorable, even though many warnings in GCC are certain indication of broken code in pretty much anything new written in the last 35 years.

It's important to bear in mind the main change here is to stop wild C programmers from trying to run or release code that's almost certainly broken, because the diagnostic they got wasn't explicit enough. People can still force the old behaviour if they need to.
A free market on capital intensive industries chooses for efficiency, and efficiency means having single large dominant players at each step in the chain. Free markets create monopolies.

Regulations are what prevent monopolies and we've forgotten about enforcement of those rules for decades. So we ended up with concentrated monopolies and single points of failures in these critical industries.

Paltry subsidies and no new regulations means nothing will actually change, other than a few billion dollars going from tax payers into some small number of wealthy people's pockets.

I was looking recently and found there doesn't seem to be any way to do lexicographic ordering of lists in JavaScript, unlike (almost) every other language I've ever used, where lists are ordered lexicographically by default.

Is there any magic quick way of doing this in modern JavaScript, or do I have to keep cutting+pasting a comparator I wrote everywhere?
This used to be the case. Always a bent wheel or something. I was just reflecting recently that this was no longer the case, and has not been for years.

People learned what broke (front wheel that were slammed into things) and redesigned/reinforced appropriately.
I might be splitting hairs, but they say that the incident was "caused by a third party library" when in fact, the incident was caused by insufficient testing on their part.

It sounds like they're trying to shift blame for the incident but then they try to pat themselves on the back for all the effort they put into security. It comes across as dishonest.

Technical details are appreciated but they should've emphasized that this is their own fault. Bonus points if they commit to at least consider E2EE which would sidestep the issue.

>I’ve seen one of these my entire life

In Europe these retro Citroen vans are used as mobile hipster food and coffee shops.

I also saw one retro American School bus here (very rare in Europe) selling overpriced American street food, mainly hotdogs and burgers. The retro van plus the server having a top-knot man-bun add an automatic 20% value to your burger.

Either way, it seems these old busses have found a second life in the posh mobile catering industry.
No. It’s for tightly packing data in data structures. Bitwidth is exactly what’s important here.
same here, spent lots of time poking around, even tried svelte and react.js(heavily), and now firmly back to vue.js.

vue.js does not mix SSR with SPA into one, make it much simpler compare to what React.js is doing today, and it provides way more than alpine.js and htmx etc, it's the best one in practice for me now.

I know that some sharks and rays had a more or less strong pee taste. I personally dislike it. Skate is the only dish that I would classify as dog food grade. The line between tasty and nasty is very thin in those fishes and requires a skilled chef.

But I'm perfectly fine with the idea of some people loving the pee taste, or eating rotten shark meat, or urinating in other people's mouths while eating carp croquettes. As long as those people is not me, good for them. I'll pass. Thank you.

Feel free to eat this new discovered octopus before any other human and tell us about your experience. My bet is that will be memorable for all the wrong reasons

In any case, skate meat should be forbidden by conservation issues. Their populations are very fragile and on a sharp decline, and to eat this animals is very irresponsible.

You go to any country outside of North America and you can get medicines the exact same ones for a fraction of the cost on the dollars. US generally is up charged due the ability squeeze insurance and then the patient. So definitely greed, some regulations should be applied. Insurance companies would be happy to not be squeezed, if some sort of regulation was made to prevent squeezing it would be nice. Even a culture where doctors were glorified over YouTube stars would help too. Asia for example if you're a doctor you're making money! But the scary thing is that doctors in Asia don't charge 100,000 USD for said surgery. Just think about it.
relevant issue, which is at the crux of this problem: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-record-tuple/issues/387 and which shows that a symbol based protocol was the kind of approach that could've worked from the start.

See `Symbol.keyEquality` - although that still shows what I feel is a misunderstanding about the direction at which the protocol should work. I don't want to be creating new types of maps and sets, I want existing ones to have controllable key equality. If it was for new types of maps and sets, I'd just implement a new Set class independent of JS builtins and be done with it. (Its not like the built in Set offers any rich features that I'd have a hard time replicating anyway)

Protocols (traits) should really be the cornerstone of TC39 work, IMO. They'll help with JavaScript's serious ecosystem compatibility issues.
One other facet to consider is that it is already legal to for doctors to the medicine for any of those 100 approvals. those trials serve three purposes, 1) to generate high quality data to support doctor choice, 2) provide defense for medical malpractice suits against doctors, and 3) support insurance reimbursement.

Doctors already have discretion to prescribe Tagrisso for the common flu. However, a doctor that does so will struggle to get insurance to cover it, and will have a harder defense if the patient sues.

> This looks neat! I've never really been in to web development, but I'm curious... is it possible to create a standalone .html file for a browser-delivered app? Like, not just PWA or SPA, but... a single HTML App?

Yes, you can include your JavaScript and CSS directly inside the <script> [0] and <style> [1] tags, so you don't need to include any other file. Images like PNG, JPEG, ... can be either embedded with a base64 data URL [2] or an SVG with the SVG tag [3].

> what's the barrier to something interesting, say... implementing a minimal spreadsheet or maybe just a sortable/filterable table?

Well, you could go the easy route and use an already existing JavaScript library for this. Libraries are normally included via a URL, but you can just copy the contents of this library into the script tag as mentioned above.

Otherwise, I think it's manageable to do develop it yourself (sortable/filterable tables) much knowledge, but frontend development can be a PITA very fast

i think it is our educational system that is weird.

we teach students from arithmetic to differential equations assuming they are working with Real Numbers and never really talking about what that means or what a Field is. Then we present computation as something that can easily be done with Real numbers. Which is a lie because we don't even know if Pi plus E is rational or not.

Then we present computers as tools of computation, handwaving away the fact that Computer floating point math is not using real numbers, and is not a Field nor anything even remotely like a Field. Floats are not even closed under basic arithmetic operations. And god help someone who learned Geometry on graph paper then tries to apply it to a computer with Floats because Floats cannot even represent a uniform grid in space, they vary in resolution by definition depending on distance from origin.

So in the end by trying to gloss over the details of how Real Numbers work, and how Computers work, we have actually misrepresented both Real Numbers and Computers to generations of people, for going on 80 years now. And we keep having to have these articles, or "your calculator is wrong" videos go viral every few months/years because people were not taught basic facts about Reals and Computers.
> And that is what the C integer types are about, right, about being efficiently represented by the underlying hardware, not their exact bitwidth?

If you have one `short` argument to your function maybe. But if you have a `short[]` array, you probably do care about the memory layout of that array. You might need it to be compatible with some particular data format that you're trying to read/write. Same with a field of a struct, if that struct is used for parsing. A lot of C code does parsing like this.
Would it be a bigger surprise if Planet 9 existed, or if Planet 9 doesn't exist? This isn't my field of study, but as I understand there's a good amount of indirect evidence for a Planet 9... and still no direct proof. Assuming we're searching in the right areas, if a scan of the first 80% didn't reveal it, it seems unlikely (but of course not impossible) that we'll find it in the last 20%.
I often see sentiment that x86 architecture itself is fundamentally a bottleneck, compared to ARM/RISC, when it comes to efficiency and performance per watt. Does someone with the right expertise have insight to share on this? I'm curious what the factors are here. I would imagine that a factor is that most ARM implementations we see (like from Qualcomm, Nvidia, and Apple) are full-on SoCs which will naturally have efficiency benefits. But I'd love to learn more about this before "taking sides" and declaring that so-and-so architecture is the future, or whatever.

The devices and media might change more often, but the important stuff -- the content -- is much more persistent than it ever was.

Between 1924 and 1974 the primary format for listening to music only underwent minor changes (78rpm to 33 1/3 rpm; 8track showed up but my understanding is that it was still generally secondary) and new hardware was at least sometimes backward compatible with older media.. Between 1974 and 2024 there have been at least three major primary format changes (vinyl to cd to mp3, four if you count cassette).

But here in 2024 if someone actually wants to listen to music from 50 years earlier, it's incredibly easy. For example, per wiki fifty years ago this week "Boogie Down" by Eddie Kendricks and "Rock On" by David Essex both entered the Billboard top 10, and amazon's willing to sell me digital versions of their containing albums for, respectively, $8 and $9. In 1974 if someone actually wanted to listen to music from 50 years earlier, such as seen here: https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/single/1924/ then good luck. Maybe they were re-issued, but you'd probably have to do some legwork to discover that, maybe your grandparents kept their copy and it's still listenable, maybe you've got a really good secondhand record shop nearby, but it'll take effort, gumption, and luck.
My understanding is that of all cancer drugs approved by the FDA between 2000-2016 (around 90 drugs), the median life extension was just over 2 months...

An exciting, underrated possibility: therapies in conjunction with each other, even if the therapies are initially studied in isolation. Single-agent chemo doesn't work for many cancer types, but multi-agent chemo often does. The same may be true of the small molecules, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and monoclonal or bispecific antibodies being tested now. I have squamous cell carcinoma initially of the tongue, and now of the head, neck, and lungs (https://jakeseliger.com/2023/07/22/i-am-dying-of-squamous-ce...), and I'm on a clinical trial monotherapy at UCSD called MCLA-158 / petosemtamab. But, if I live long enough, which isn't super likely but isn't impossible, there's a decent shot that the FDA will finally approve Moderna's mRNA-4157 personalized vaccine for melanoma—hopefully in 2025. If I can get mRNA-4157 off label and combine it with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and petosemtamab (assuming the latter is approved, too), that combo may be much more potent than any of the three in isolation, and I've already failed pembro as a monotherapy and pembro + carboplatin + paclitaxel.

And if that combo doesn't work, or has some unexpected negative effect (including death), well, I'm going to die anyway, and the risk seems worthwhile.

As another commenter observed, the median can be skewed by the number of people who don't respond; among those who respond to a given drug, some don't respond, but some live surprisingly long.

I looked up Mills act, it is for designated historical buildings.

These are cookie-cutter houses, all built by the same builder during the same year in the 90s. No designated historical buildings here, so that's not it.

First year after being built in the 90s that house paid near $3K in property taxes. I'm pretty sure there is no mechanism for it to actually pay $900 in property taxes in 2024. It's just bad data in the system.

Don't Quit Your Job
If you're an SWE thinking about quitting your job to build your startup, do not do it in this economy. I used to read posts like this and scoff at them, especially since I had already founded and sold a semi-successful startup. VCs are super selective towards anything non AI at the moment which results in very lowball offers, b2b isn't viable as it used to be because businesses don't have that kind of money anymore, many of which are even laying off their employees.

I had a sweet job at a NY based unicorn and I was among the highest paid in my country. I quit it thinking worst case scenario, I would just freelance till something works out, but alas, that market is flooded with layed of swe's which are driving the prices to the bottom. I can't believe just how fast things change when you're jobless and nothing works out. I finally gave in and applied to a few jobs but didn't get a call from companies who were reaching out consistently to me some time ago. So don't make the same mistake I did, especially if you have responsibilities of any kind. Stay safe and keep working on that project on the side.

Wow, for me things that can't be physically represented (at a human scale anyway) such as most of mathematics, physics, and frankly music are fascinating, definitely feel real, can be explored, but yes, are beyond concrete representation.

Could one write a 16-part invention? I doubt it; certainly I think it would be hard to conceive of playing it, but I can "look into" a complex invention as I hear it and see how it could subdivide and get an idea of where that could lead. Certainly anything beyond the physically representative is to me sublime, and still able to trigger synesthesthetic response.
