I think it's describing a particular lexer or preprocessor bug that GCC never had, so "a + = 1" should have been a syntax error in C89 as well.

Someone mirrored GCC 0.9 (1987), the relevant bits start here:

https://github.com/huangguiyang/gcc-0.9/blob/a83ea1b45dc3187...

// Read the next non-whitespace character.
1296: c = skip_white_space();

// Match it against '+'
1618: case '+':

// Tentatively give it the token 'PLUS_EXPR'
1637: case '+':
1638: yylval.code = PLUS_EXPR; break;

// Read the next character, but note that whitespaces are NOT skipped here.
1663: c1 = getc(finput);

// Match the second character against '='
1665: if (c1 == '=')
...
1678: value = ASSIGN; goto done;

// Unread the next charcter if it didn't match.
1700: ungetc (c1, finput);

"a +/* */= 1" wouldn't have parsed either, because /**/ are translated to spaces by the preprocessor.

I kind of get the sentiment. If I go back to read Lovecraft or Verne, the technical aspect of their writing is poor by today's standards. Their stories are creative and original, though. There is a sameness to so many stories today.

Also I don't hink Lunduke it's a nazi. Maybe deeply uneducated on the biological spectra which is really difficult to measure (and I say this after I've met some animal biologyst who knew some people doing research on the human one, who basically said the same).

Nature doesn't work as we just had computer systems based on GNU/MIT/Lisp and Unix/BSD/C. It's more complex than that.

Hormones may drive us in vastly different ways such as on spatial orientation (as it happens between men and women on average), but very few of them (at least in modern times) will act by pure instinct...

The Katy Freeway seems idiotic, unless you actually need to drive in Houston, and then it's great. It's great that I have space between me and my neighbors. It's great that I can stay cool in my car and avoid the heat and rain from my garage to my destination (often, an HEB with a parking garage). It's great that I can get anywhere in the city outside of rush hour in 30 min or less. It's great that I can fill up my battery from the comfort of my home at off-peak hours. It's great that Tesla FSD takes me the whole way and only tries to kill me once or twice.

I've lived in a tiny apartment in a super-dense European city with Japanese levels of extent and service, and yet now for less money I live in my house like the European upper class, in a house bigger than theirs and with the same car they drive. I could never have afforded this in Western Europe (or Europe-like SF, NYC, etc). But freeway-loving America makes it possible.
You see all kinds of things splashing and shooting out of the ground at Yellowstone. It would be easy to initially assume this is just another splashy thing you normally see. From the videos it seems people figure out this isn't the norm in about the right amount of time.

It's really easy to offer advice like that on the internet, but having found myself in a couple of unexpectedly dangerous situations in real life... it just happens. You're not as rational as you think you are. I keep going back to these situations and thinking how I should have acted differently, but it's not how your brain works at the time - not unless you train for it beforehand.

Even on a conscious level, this advice just doesn't work. If you duck for cover because a nearby car misfires, you're gonna get mocked or worse. Modern life gives as far more opportunities to overreact than to underreact to risk, so to appear rational and function in a society, we learn not to be too jumpy.
Mechanical cheating is pretty common in sports where it’s viable. NASCAR crews were always finding ways to cheat so much that the saying “if you’re not cheating you’re not trying” was said without irony.

Baseball has a history of guys corking their bats and when caught the excuse is always that the practice bat got mixed in.

About a year ago, I was in the United Club at O'Hare, and the fire alarm went off. I was getting a Bloody Mary when it happened, so I left my drink on the bar, went to the table where my family was, and said "let's go". Other than the sound of the alarm, you wouldn't know anything was happening. People were still getting food from the buffet, sitting at their tables, like nothing was going on.

A minute after we left the area, everyone else came out - not all willingly, it seems. Fortunately, the fire turned out to be nothing (flare up in the kitchen, I heard) and we were let back into the club after a bit. I learned quite a bit about human nature that day.
It needn't remain a public good. It can be a private 'good'.
Less variation at the top. The bike has a sort of normalizing effect. But the mechanical advantage also means minor cheating benefits get multiplied.
Well now that you've clearly stated that this is a religious issue for you, I see little opportunity in actually having a protective conversation. Have a great day.
Yes of course, but as I told someone else, if I said I believe the left is associated with "down with America" you would disagree. Just because 1% of the left might say that, doesn't mean it's true for all of you.

Archaic English bears other similarities to other modern European languages. For example, the verb "like" used to be similar to the Spanish verb "gustar" in that the person that's pleased is the grammatical object and the thing is the subject.

For example, this is Shakespeare's Two Gentleman of Verona, Scene 2, Act 4:

Host. How now! are you sadder than you were before? How
do you, man? the music likes you not.

Julia. You mistake; the musician likes me not.

In modern English, it would mean "You don't like the music" and "I don't like the musician."

I guess it's original if it's not been done exactly the same before. But my point is that originality isn't what designers should be going for 99% of the time, even if it's a side effect. I'm sure that you follow patterns and conventions when designing an IT architecture: the combination of individual patterns you end up using, even if they've been used a million times before, still constitute a solution to the specific problem in front of you. They may be "original" in some sense, but that's beside the point: you're not aiming for originality, you're just trying to deliver whatever the best infrastructure or network architecture is for that particular usage. That's what design is, and indeed that activity itself meets all my criteria for being a design activity.
> why would someone who has adopted a decoupled application infrastructure decide that their domain controller should be coupled?

You'd really only want the current appliance if you don't have the in house staff to assemble/amalgamate an equivalent setup.

My pitch would be that tight coupling enables major security benefits in the implementation:

* rapidly propagate policy updates (eliminate race conditions caused by changes slowly propagating across SaaS vendors.)
* simpler modules with fewer features, less attack surface
* rich context in logs (even spoofed packets have a cryptographically verified source)
* coherent security controls

Exploitation has a specific definition in socialist circles, one that many capitalists reject as being misleading at best and malicious at worst. Since we are not in a socialist society, we cannot use their definition of the term, which is what I'm saying you're using. Yes, there can be other types of exploitation in a capitalist society, but the one you're talking about is getting paid "unfair" wages when the only "fair" wage is what one can get via supply and demand. That you or others who live in different cost of living areas might feel slighted does not mean it is exploitation in the capitalist sense; people in a LCoL area may be happy to take a lower wage than a HCoL person, they would not feel exploited due to that.
You can also opt out of the cylindrical x-ray.

The correct incantation is: "I would like to opt out of the millimeter wave."

If you do this, then someone of the same gender will run their gloved hands over (somewhat sensitive) areas of your body, then test the gloves for explosive residue.

At my age, I probably shouldn't care about any of this, but I don't like needless x-rays.
This isn't a dilemma at all. If Facebook can't release data it trains on because it would compromise user privacy, it is already a significant privacy violation that should be a scandal, and if it would prompt some regulatory or legislative remedies against Facebook for them to release the data, it should do the same for releasing the trained model, even through an API. The only reason people don't think about it this way is that public awareness of how these technologies work isn't pervasive enough for the general public to think it through, and it's hard to prove definitively. Basically, if this is Facebook's position, it's saying that the release of the model already constitutes a violation of user privacy, but they're betting no one will catch them

If the company wants to help research, it should full-throatedly endorse the position that it doesn't consider it a violation of privacy to train on the data it does, and release it so that it can be useful for research. If the company thinks it's safeguarding user privacy, it shouldn't be training models on data it considers private and then using them in public-facing ways at all

As it stands, Facebook seems to take the position that it wants to help the development of software built on models like Llama, but not really the fundamental research that goes into building those models in the same way

> The report also highlighted the dire need for this [AI] version of Alexa to make money to keep the voice assistant alive.

The early iPhone left doors open for experiments that could later be supported and productized. Alexa failed to open up devices for experiments that could seed innovation. Look at the failure of the official "Skills" program, compared to the thriving HomeAssistant ecosystem that is an obvious match for smart speakers.

If the device fails, 500K devices should be unlocked for use with generic Linux, instead of being relegated to landfill.
unelected? hundreds of millions of people have given jeff bezos money
Here on the US West Coast so-called sneaker waves kill a handful of people every year, sometimes sweeping (and killing) entire families into the ocean who were strolling along a beach with unthreatening surf. I was oblivious to this until the 3rd or so incident that caught my attention, then on a hunch poked around with Google search enough to realize (after over 15 years living in the Bay Area) it's actually a regular occurrence. It happens on some stretches more than others, and its more likely in the winter, but it's not confined to "dangerous" beaches and can happen at any time. For some reason it hasn't captured the public's (or media's) attention to become a "thing"--a known hazard that people keep in mind. Every incident tends to be reported in isolation, notwithstanding any blurbs about recent incidents if they happened to occur close enough in time and locality.

It's natural to qualify and rate tragic events by degree of perceived "innocence". Families swept off quiet beaches to their doom without warning is about as innocently tragic as you can get. That said, some incidents are arguably less innocent then others, such as fishermen venturing onto narrower stretches of beach at low tide during winter, when Pacific surf is stronger and more varied. But even then usually it seems people aren't doing anything that onlookers would consider inviting tragedy, and quite often it happens on well trafficked beaches and during times of the year that people wouldn't consider risky.

Fortunately I grew up along the Gulf Coast so Pacific surf has always felt ominous to me. OTOH, I have a higher risk tolerance than many others, especially of younger generations, so maybe it's a wash for me.
so those of us who think differently from you are inhuman?

humans from long back, could, and still very much can, easily parse / grok those exact dates and do the trivial date arithmetic needed (just mentally, without even pen and paper, forget a calculator), in seconds, to figure out the deltas nearly perfectly, or at least close enough for their needs.

just because you cannot do it, don't think that plenty of others cannot (analogous to what you said to me above). I have interacted with different types and categories of people, of various educational levels and socio-economic backgrounds, from so-called "low" to so-called quite "high", for many years now, and I can tell you that even uneducated farmers, fishermen, bike and car mechanics, and other kinds of manual labourers that I have met and interacted with a good amount, can easily do these kind of calculations in just a few seconds, mentally. not necessarily all, but many of them can.

Typed constraints don't scale either.

I eagerly await your implementation of a type describing my tax return. And to implement a compiler for the new programming language you'll inevitably have to construct, we're gonna need two types, one expressing all valid source programs, and the other all valid programs for the target platform.

Oh, can we also get updates to that for next year's taxes, new platforms, and other such future business needs? Of course the current requirements have to still remain supported.

No one said it was bad. It's just self interested (as companies generally are) and are using that to have a PR spin on the topic. But again, this is what all companies do and nothing about it is bad per se.
Public transit sucks. It has always sucked. And it's necessary if you want dense cities.

The fix? Don't do dense cities. 80-85% of the US population prefers single-family houses to apartments.

We need to promote remote work and BUILD NEW SPARSE HOUSING. Do not do the nonsense "upzoning", instead build new suburbs.

Remote work can be promoted by giving tax breaks for remote positions or by taxing dense office space.
Only one side has had meaningful advances.

That's not true, as Ukraine has scored significant non-territorial advances (like forcing most of the occupier's fleet to retreat from Crimea) in the same time frame.

Also you're setting an arbitrary time window of 1 year (when if we want to evaluate the conflict meaningfully, we need to look at how things are moving now compared to the start of the conflict. Which is definitely not the outcome Russia intended. And ignoring Russia's considerable losses in achieving the paltry gains that it has (which are very much part of the attrition equation), etc.

What never works out is a smaller country winning a war of attrition against a (much) bigger opponent.

You're missing the point -- the smaller country doesn't need to "win" the war of attrition (in terms of effecting a complete reversal) in order to win the conflict. It just needs to outlast the occupier. For which there are no end of precedents in history, recent and ancient. Including (ironically) the U.S. withdraw from Afghanistan, which is apparently what gave Putin the gigantic (for him) hard-on that inspired him to sign his country for the same inevitable fate in the first place (but with much higher cost and KIA/WIA rates to his people along the way).

Did you catch Zelensky the other day? He knows where this is going.

I'll be honest. You had me in the first half, but then: "... the hypothetical paradise it produces full of wonderful artists and musicians and programmers creating text editors rather than CRUD apps ..."

Who willingly endeavors to write text editors in 2024 when acme(4) exists?

I jest. More seriously though, if the measure of one's value to society is in their ability to crank out CRUD apps, I'm appalled. I want more dishwashers, more plumbers, more framers, more joiners, more cooks, more babysitters, more stonemasons, and the only way any of that kind of hard labor is sustainable is if there's a cushion to fall back on to recuperate. Bodies break. They break more catastrophically when the damage is continued and sustained over time.

I want my girlfriend to feel free to take on domestic work full-time with the knowledge that, no matter what, she'll be paid for it and that her domestic labor contributions, as informal as they are, are valued monetarily without my having to make up the balance. Likewise, I want that there in case I myself want to take up those domestic responsibilities for a while.

First, we were talking about EDR in Windows usermode.

Second, still, that doesn't change anything. You can make your malware jmp to anywhere so that the syscall actually comes from an authorized page.

In fact, in windows environment, this is actively done ("indirect syscalls"), because indeed, having a random executable directly calling syscalls is a clear indicator that something is malicious. So they take a detour and have a legitimate piece of code (in ntdll) do the syscall for them.
This could really use a screenshot.
Sure, you can have them learn by ear or learn by sheet, both possible. According to the analogy you can't do engage without doing either show or tell. Which one doesn't matter.

> and some applications will display weirdly because of that.

Well, if compositor supports server side decorations (and normal compositors should), I don't see how applications can behave weirdly becasue of that unless they are just buggy. It's up to applications to figure out if server side decorations work and use them if they do. I.e. even if it was a core feature, buggy applications could still behave incorrectly.

And I don't see Wayland being worse in many aspects, but on the contrary, see it being better in aspects which X11 didn't or can't address. I recently started using Wine Wayland for gaming and it's significantly better experience than using it with XWayland.
> These missions answer the question "could one dock with debris and deorbit it?" To which the answer is "obviously yes, but at enormous cost" and you don't need to spend 50M euros to prove it.

Well, it's not about debris, it's about the capability to sneak up to an enemy satellite and disrupt it without outright destroying it or making it look like a failure.

Shooting a satellite with a rocket ("ASAT") is easy enough - the US, China, Russia and India have proven that capability, and Israel likely has it as well. EMPs from nuclear blasts are another option. But either of that leaves undeniable traces (an EMP blast would likely fry a lot of stuff on the ground!) and the debris can endanger your own satellites as well, so you need something that acts in-space, preferably very difficult to observe from Earth. And something that can grab a dead satellite and drag it out of orbit can also just go and deposit a small explosive charge.

And at that point, 50 million euros are chump change to test that capability - if needed, replace the magnet/hook/whatever with a bomb and that's it.

For the discerning reader: every single expert disagrees vociferously with this take.

The economics simply do not work to make this sustainable. Let's not forget how expensive basic infrastructure is just because it's normalized. Water/power/sewer/trash/roads/lighting is a massive expense that just keeps getting more expensive, not to mention that you have to factor in maintenance costs.
I'll choose to take that as a compliment
