Most of this article seems like mere unfamiliarity with how interrupts are generally processed. The point is you're just getting a flag indicating that you need to poll. You do the least possible in the interrupt handler so the rest of your program is disrupted as little as possible. The advantages of this aren't so super necessary when you're already event driven using select() and its descendants. But it's also not terribly hard to work into that paradigm, awkwardness of the loopback fd pattern in directly-written-C not withstanding.

System calls returning early with EINTR is the exact example from Worse is Better, so that's been been debated to death.

And FWIW it seems like SA_SIGINFO itself is more of the problem, especially if (when?) there isn't a good way to poll that information elsewhere.
Pretentious title with little substance to justify the claim. The inherited signal disposition mask with the blocked signals can be restored in a forked child process, before an exec. Because it makes a shell-spawning function like system() even less desirable, doesn’t render it “useless”.
If you're already following AI advice completely indiscriminately, eating rocks isn't going to hurt you. Stick to plain white glue like Elmer's, though. (Speaking from experience)

I don’t drink nor smoke weed anymore so I don’t have a dog in this fight.

What I do know is that the guy in the restaurant drinking at a table 3 feet away from me has 0 impact on my enjoyment, but if someone is smoking a joint 20 feet away with the windows open during the summer it’s gonna hit me hard and smell disgusting.

I thought public cigarette smoking was bad, but the second hand marijuana smell is way worse and for some reason just seems to linger far more than the cigarette smell.
The ABSURD thing is that while we have a bi-directional CCS (DC current) standard no one produce photovoltaic hybrid systems able to direct connect to a parked car. Hybrid p.v. use since some years 400V LFP batteries, the same 400V nearly all BEV use. A direct connection means that the V2H part is already "isolating" a protected home electrical "grid" from the grid home/p.v. side, so there is nothing special to do but plug the car.

Following p.v. availability the car can chard without DC-AC-DC lossy double conversion process, with much less costly stuff in between like domestic storage, similarly can discharge to the home as needed. A simple extension to the home electricity storage piloted by the p.v. inverter/a home server. It's essentially already there p.v. inverter side since hybrid 400V p.v. systems are fairly common and it's similarly already there since most cars support DC-charging piloted by the charger connected to the car BMS.
I would put it as follows: in the last 30 years there have been real advances in practical nanotechnology.

Not Drexlerian nanomachine fantasies, but nanometre scale control of the surface geometry of materials. Controlling surface geometries at these small scales is what has powered the advance of solar PV since 1990.

This would not have been possible without the continually increasing computer simulation power that has been available since the 1990s.
Everything we know about obesity shows that your opinion is completely wrong.

I'm reminded of a Simpsons episode where Homer tries to assemble a barbecue by pressing a brick and a piece of pipe together.
This may not be an alcohol vs marijuana thing directly, but the social pressure against being drunk on the job is significantly higher than the social pressure against being stoned.
Flagged because the link is wrong...
Exceptions for "obvious" stuff should be temporary. If a thing is so obvious and relevant to your life, then there should be mountains of anecdotal and scientific evidence proving the idea. Remember, lots of ideas seemed obvious at one time or another and turned out to be disastrously wrong.
Sure but in NL when I lived there it was fairly normal to be stoned in uni or at work; drunk was weird.
This actually I don’t get and don’t stand behind.

Would you give a professional smith a low quality hammer? Would you give a chef a blunt knife?

Why do corporations give out garbage hardware to their smiths and chefs (+ enforce their use via policy) ?

Thank you. The point about memorizing but not understanding is on point.

And yes, best is to learn by doing, your brain is more engaged that way.
Sorry if my phrasing was unclear. I'm not a native English speaker. It seemed pretty clear in my head ha!
The problem with this belief is that as the linked article shows, the increase in marijuana consumption has not been accompanied by a decrease in alcohol consumption, which has remained stable.

So we’re still stuck with all the risks of the habitual drunkards, but now also have all the risks of the habitual stoners.
link should be https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2024/05/23/marijuana...
That's just your opinion. But since you're open to anecdotes, I have the opposite opinion.

Cigarette smoke gives me an instant headache, and I can smell it a mile a way. I'm not even kidding. If someone is upwind from me a mile away smoking a cig, I'll know about it. And the smoke lingers in hair, clothes, walls, furniture, everywhere far worse than marijuana smoke ever could - I mean, cigarette smoke is pretty famous for fouling up everything it touches, but marijuana smoke doesn't, at least not permanently or long-term.

Many people also quite like the smell of marijuana smoke, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who enjoys the smell of cigarettes.
Nobody cares that it isn't being made anymore. People are upset that their already purchased devices are being turned into paperweights because they won't maintain the online infrastructure they required to use it. It's wasteful and unfair to the people who bought it and should not be allowed legally.
Alcohol is usually far better at all of that for me. For grief particularly (and I've tried this a few times), alcohol has made me feel far better than my initial state, whereas Marijuana amplified the pain from grief by a couple orders of magnitude.
Funny enough, instant coffee has less caffeine than fresh brewed coffee.
The link leads to 404.
So this appears to be a clean reversing effort, for what - legal reasons?

Espressif Systems is a Chinese company and probably stole half the code in the firmware anyways. No one will blame you if you stick the stick the firmware in Ghidra.
Thoughts and prayers will have to do then I guess.

AI generated imagery is usually imbued with inaccuracies and errors. Not to mention the ethical problems of using artwork without consent for training the AI.

So, it might be worse than a random stock photo in those aspects.
Yes, mobile computers can still be powered by AA batteries, Like it's less common in modern devices due to rechargeable battery and the long mobile battery life. there are still portable devices, like handheld gaming consoles, portable radios, and other types of computers.
I’ve seen people slog through untested code where they fear to make a change but I’ve also seen people slog through code with too much test coverage where the tests go through constant churn.

I don’t understand why people don’t just add one test even if the codebase otherwise has zero tests if they’re so scared of one area and I don’t get why people keep adding excessive coverage if it’s wasting their time.

It’s like people pick a stance and then stick with it forever when I couldn’t care less how I’ve been doing something for 10 years if today you showed me a better way.
The author is unhappy with how signals work, and proposes some really wonky ways to get the behavior he thinks is correct. But for a programmer, it's a lot easier to just do things the way designers of signals intended.

For example, multiple SIGCHLD coalesce, so you are supposed to call waitpid in a loop:

int status;
while((pid_t child = waitpid(-1, &status, WHOHANG)) > 0) { // handle zombie

This API is mature and obvious problems like the author points out have already been solved before. The author seems to reject the established practice on purely aesthetic grounds, which is a... choice. But not one you should make, if you want your life to be easy.
Make a big sheet of whatever the stuff inside of fibre optics is made of, and just plug that bad boy into a frame in the roof. Light should go straight through. Skips at least two more middlemen.
You can't just divide the world into people who believe fallacies and people who don't. They are rooted in fundamental cognitive biases, everyone falls for the "just try harder"/"just be better"/"just don't put any bugs in the code"/"just have excellent test coverage" thing sometimes.

Certainly all the most experienced engineers I work with, who should definitely know better, still haven't fully internalised the fact that all code is broken.
a board game store might be challenging if you are doing it as bricks & mortar retail and competing against online sellers. i think it can work but you would want to be somewhere with a lot of retail foot traffic. you are going to need to set your prices higher than online sellers to pay for rent. i don't have any numbers/insight.

as someone who enjoys playing boardgames, what i would caution against is trying to run some kind of boardgame cafe. the problem with that is you end up with customers like me playing a long game occupying a table for 3-4 hours. maybe everyone buys a drink and half the players buy a meal. the revenue per table per hour will be low compared to a normal cafe or restaurant where you could cycle multiple groups through the table in the same time, and where the expected revenue per customer would be higher.

the places where board game events thrive are where the fixed costs (rent, wages to staff a bar/kitchen, etc) are subsidised by something that isn't board games. i.e. where the venue is open anyway and has spare capacity to fill a few tables with board game players who stay for hours and do not spend money quickly. in australia this is often at a pub/club which has an old spacious venue with lots of tables, where the business is kept afloat by income from a room full of people losing money playing the pokies (slot machines).
Interesting, thanks for asking. To me the thread's context was that some European countries are "importing" migrants to bolster their pension schemes and that this is a bad thing (why?) An argument about immigration ensued and those often rub me the wrong way, being an immigrant and stuff. The part of "the public sentiment [for stricter immigration controls] is there, but the laws say the other way" is triggering me, too, because it alludes to some kind of "silent majority" which around these parts (ie. Germany) is usually brought up by loud minorities from the far right. I'm not denying that xenophobia is on the rise (here and everywhere) but it is not the sentiment of "the public". Combined with a description that seemed to lament the apparent lack of stricter controls led me to question why it would be important where you are born if you obey the law. Thinking of that, why would it be important if you don't?

Anyhow, revisiting the thread I can see that the post I answered to could be meant differently. I thank you for that and would like to advance my apologies to the OP in that case.
Because I am the one, my custom malloc checks a given size against the list of known constant string pointers and if it matches, it calls strdup instead.

So easy to program defensively in C.
> to continue his general genocidal douchebaggery.

Both "genocide" and "continuing a genocide" suggest intent that we don't have evidence to support.

From all we can tell, his intent was to trade and to preach.
The Quakers base all their decisions on consensus. First time I heard this it seemed ridiculous, they'll never get anything done!

But it usually works out well. It especially helps prioritizing: finding a consensus on whether to fix the leaking roof, works out quickly. Something more controversial but not pressing? Discuss, realize you can't find a solid consensus ... and defer to the next meeting.

This obviously doesn't work in all contexts, but in situations where values are aligned and there is an actual will to find a good consensus, it works very well.

The aligned values and will were present especially in early internet standards back in the days when everything was run by nerds employed at universities with no commercial interests at play.
This was the early 90s so I wouldn’t know the brand or anything, but it was a machine that made metal sheet into cylinders. I wasn’t there but I was in the train he rode that morning when you could smoke spliffs in the train.
I feel that that's not what email is for. Any communication method needs a return address, otherwise spam and abuse.

Email has two very distinct purposes, not 1, not 3.

1- federated pseudonymous identity protocol for internet(ip/http).

2- medium-length business time insensitive communication.

That's it.

This sounds like a free experimental product aimed at improving 1, but most service providers will either have to block it or face abuse from users of your domain.

What OP doesn't know yet probably is that they will not be the ones under dos/spam,rather they will be used to DoS, spam, simulate traffic, scam, etc...

Edit: the ToS outlaws spam, so it is possible they will cooperate with spam blacklist providers like spamhaus ( not sure how). Not sure how businesses will block the domain for acct creation, probably as a whole, Ive seen websites use a whitelist approach like gmail, or outlook.
then you could try pidgin to connect them all from one app

I didn’t mention Telegram or any other client. Please read HN guidelines:

The physics of filters is well-known, but how many virus particles does it take to infect a person? Can you smell anything through your mask? If you can, you'll probably be infected if you're anywhere near an infected person. By the way, you also absorb virus particles through your eyes. So trying to rely on the primitive filters you'd actually wear is silly. The effect of masks is so minimal, in my estimation, it's worse than nothing. Then we have to address the stupidity of people thinking that it's mandatory to wear a mask in a restaurant but only until you sit. Then the virus stops completely as you eat. The truth is, by the time we got to that stage, the virus was not a significant threat. The mask mandates were purely performative at that point, and we were seriously at risk of being in that stage forever because of power-tripping politicians.
Maybe hcaptcha, I've never run into captcha hell with it, unlike Cloudflare and recaptcha. If those two decide you're a bot, you're done, better go change that IP and reset cookies.
One beer and one entire joint are not equivalent in levels of intoxication.

Try 6 beers vs 1 entire joint and maybe you're getting somewhere close to equivalence in level of intoxication.

Most people don't smoke an entire joint in one sitting. All it takes is about 3 or 4 puffs and that's typically enough for quite a while. That's the equivalent of about 2 beers. And I'd trust someone more behind the wheel that had a few puffs of a joint vs. someone who just drank 2 or 3 beers.

The kind of intoxication is very different between alcohol and THC. There is no way to do a 1:1 comparison as far as effects on driving ability. They each act on very different pathways, and produce different results.

Marijuana also never made anyone pass out while driving from smoking too much, but alcohol definitely can do that.
Protectionism necessarily requires import fees for that reason. To offset the price difference you have to make foreign goods artificially more expensive.
A single breakthrough in fusion invalidates the title.

Not to mention that anytime an actor ages out of the early adulthood age range, a lookalike begins to play the same roles.

If you can't think of any examples, it's probably because you haven't been able to tell them apart yourself.
I've received a few nasty comments in response to blog posts, both here and on reddit. When it happens I update the post to link to the nasty comment, without judgement, just to shine a light on it. Usually nothing happens but sometimes it steers the discussion to a healthier place.
Comments about AI often sound negative because people are worried about what it might mean for the future. They might not understand it well, or they've seen scary stuff about AI in movies. Plus, there are real concerns about things like privacy and fairness.

Fear of the unknown
Misinformation
Lack of understanding
Ethical concerns
John Deere will solve it with IPR geofencing which nobody else in the free West can emulate. It'll work fine as long as your subscription does.
ORMs generally map around entities and dimensions. Users generally ask about metrics and measures, which can be expressed in aggregations and group bys.

How ould the NLP+ORM system do this?
I mean, fusion energy is still 10 years out. Just like it was a decade ago.
Geez, look at the build instructions! It all went downhill when they switched from Motif to GTK.
Amory Lovins made this case in Reinventing Fire a long time ago. I think people fail to see what is right there in front of them because:

1) they are stuck in old models of what is needed, baseload etc.

2) the energy sector is a trillion dollar business giving incumbents trillions of reasons to muddy the waters with made up issues (panels need to be replaced after 20 years etc)

But I think the revolution or evolution can't be stopped. Texas of all places is blowing up in solar installations. Money talks louder than ideology or opinions.
If it still feels more democratic than modern chat apps then there is something deeply wrong with how things evolve.

Sorry but no. Proton is a company, a little one respect of Alphabet but still a company, so they share the core model: making money selling something. Change from a company to another is not a solution.

I agree to have private emails but since it's next to impossible avoid ending in spam folders on all giants mail provider we can only:

- own a personal domain

- attach it to some local mail service who offer STANDARD IMPSS/SMTPS without specific constraints

- keep their own mails on their own iron (OfflineIMAP, mbsync, fetchmail, ...) POSSIBLY not leaving them on the vendor servers but downloading to a homeserver and if a webmail is needed host one on it attached to a personal subdomain like mail.mydomain.tld

- the third parties service act just as relays, since almost all mails will be sent to the big there is no more privacy practically possible, your correspondent will not use GNUPG and local client on FLOSS system for privacy

We need to AVOID as much as possible someone else computer, so no, not "encrypted cloud storage" but personal backups, even one in a bank safe-deposit box where a quake of a flood are unlikely to destroy their building, one at a secondary home if you own one or some, one to some relatives and friends sent by mail and so on, of course encrypted but still your iron somewhere, physically reachable to you.

Calendars should be local personal Agenda's like org-agenda, we can just send/read .ics invites if needed.

It's a good thing offer some VoIP options to your friends, there it's complicated since FLOSS on that subject is in a very terrible shape with old glory monsters for giant deploys not for personal usage, fragile and complex modern solution tied to some client, often not much easier to deploy and veeeeery limited documentation. But we have something. We have little options for desktop sharing (RustDesk, with hbbs/hbbr self-hosted, MeshCentral for most common usages) but something is still here.

We need to OWN the infra.

BTW Swiss have hosted for decades some privacy-centric companies then revealed as CIA proxy so well, being in Swiss does not automatically offer any guarantee.
We don't know if telegram is secure or not.

We do know that signal is lying:
- About it's code being open source
- About it's protocol being open
- About it's funding
- About it's massive white washing campaigns in forums
- About smear campaigns against and harassment of journalists who dare to look into them

We do know that signal is probably insecure if(!)
- It is actually based on the original white paper
- It is actually using any of the code they released ages ago

There have been major security incidents with apps using the signal protocol,
e.g. WhatsApp.

Who is the one doing the astroturfing?

You might not like the facts, but that doesn't change them.

Dear Google, please fire your insipid vacuous leaders and rehire Meredith Whittaker asap. She atleast stands for something.
I think Google has their research priorities right, but product managers suffer from FOMO and rush things out without productization and careful fine tuning.

Google does more and better AI research than anyone. Researchers should go back full time doing Alpha Fold and other important things and let other people turn language models into viable chatbots, even if it takes more time.
What major security incidents?
the main handicap the native population had was vulnerability to diseases, but Columbus' habit of using them as slaves and cruelty sufficient for even the Spanish Crown to act against him was also a factor in the majority of the Taino being dead within a generation of him discovering them.

Ironic that someone in denial of the well established historical facts of the conquistadors and insistent that only "Anglo Saxon Protestants" did any harm in the Americas is lecturing about "indoctrination" and the "power of knowledge"
