No, but the vast majority of trips in Tokyo does.

C's is weak yet not weak – you can do various advanced things (like conditional expansion or iteration), but using esoteric voodoo with extreme performance cost. Whereas other preprocessors let you do that using builtins which are fast and easy to grok.

See for example https://github.com/pfultz2/Cloak/wiki/C-Preprocessor-tricks,...

Poor C preprocessor performance has a negative real world impact, for example recently with the Linux kernel – https://lwn.net/Articles/983965/ – a more powerful preprocessor would enable people to do those things they are doing anyway much more cheaply

I'm an Embedded Software Engineer, with two years of experience in the aerospace sector, and looking for a new opportunity either in the embedded world, or working with C++. I have an Engineering degree, and a Bachelors in Mathematics. I'm very curious, and able get up to speed with existing systems very quickly.
The made a pledge at the time:

> 1. We are committed to fair, transparent and affordable pricing, including the perpetual licenses that have made Affinity special.

> 2. We will double down on expanding Affinity’s products through continued investment in Affinity as a standalone product suite.

> 3. We will provide Affinity free for schools and nonprofits.

> 4. We are committed to listening and being led by the design community at every step in this journey.

> I await the inevitable news story about a family getting blown-up when their 18 month old accidentally turned on the gas oven...

What do you mean "accidentally turned on the gas oven"? Do they not have flame failure devices?

> We went "off season" in Jan when prices were reasonable. ... This is the UK - it rains all the time!

Now you see why off season is off season.

> there were a lot of service vehicles and the like driving around the place so it wasn't even safe to cycle around

How many service vehicles would make it "not safe to cycle around"? Do you cycle anywhere?
Having lived/worked through GFC I'd say the Europeans smugly originally though this was simply an American banking crises, when really they had deeper more structural intra-EU sovereign debt issues related to North/South growth & budgetary differences.

So while US broke the glass and did our bail-outs, the EU tried to extend & pretend for years longer. Kind of the Japan bubble response.

The rest can probably be explained by 1)regulatory differences causing huge disparity in industries driving growth where you had substantially all the growth coming from tech in US and 2) demographic differences where Europe is older and aging more rapidly than US, so you have a higher budget burden.
I guess this is the brain-washing required to "motivate" those "useful idiots".

Based on the three YouTube tours of four bedroom exclusive lodges in Woburn I skimmed through prior to making my comment to be sure I understood the context of the lodge, it appears to me to be configured for adult use.

Each of the four "bedrooms" is more like an attached suite, the dining room is configured for eight adults, and three children and their parents do not seem to require a sauna that large.

Children can't be ruled out, however, as one of the videos noted that a high chair is available in a storage closet.

That's a popular way to do it! But I think it may end up being the way to do it, at this rate. The restaurants used to be very popular in spite of the prices. We eat out as we don't want to cook (enough of that when we go camping!) and the quality of the restaurants is genuinely good (especially their gluten free provision). Whoever buys CP will need to adjust to a new reality though and go much further down the price scale for purchases within the park (one place that was always extremely busy was the Starbucks!)
Bought yubikey on a sale a few years ago. Not usable for mobile in that model (4?) (but I knew it in advance of course). Then found out that most of the sites don't accept it in the Firefox, only in the Chrome and its clones. And so it is collecting dust somewhere in my old apartment.
Why it's so hard for China to fix its economy
Yeah, laptops and TVs not even doing automatic brightness is even more absurd. Though Android phones have automatic brightness since forever, so why do many not have automatic color temperature (white balance)? The color temperature sensor can't be much more expensive than a brightness sensor. It's logically just an RGB brightness sensor.

Android does have a night mode which changes the white balance of the screen at sunset and sunrise, but this is just a binary thing and doesn't respond to actual ambient light.
> Yes, if income really is the thing that should be taxed, then it makes logical sense to tax unrealized gains

IMHO, that's a massive claim thrown at the reader without any explanation. Why is it logical? Unrealized gains are not income at all (and they fluctuate over time.) If anything, it seems quite logical and sensible NOT to tax unrealized gains...

> One common technique is to borrow money and use the stock as collateral. Under our current regime, that borrowing is not taxed.

It is not taxed because a loan is not income as it is has to be repaid. We are not taxed on the amount of our mortgages, for instance. However, if the "loan" is in fact not expected to be repaid then I believe that is a tax scam.
As for the Intel ME and AMD PSP: these things have a huge role in getting the CPU to state that looks like x86 PC so that the host firmware can actually run. The complexity of the initialization got so high, that doing that in SW on a separate embedded core that is “well-behaved” and can be programmed in C makes more sense than trying to write all that logic in weirdly limited assembly that is inherent in traditional early stage BIOS startup code.

I believe that at least on some HPE ProLiants some part of this low-level initialization is in fact done by iLo, which at that boot stage also directly controls the framebuffer (on G10 you can even briefly see a flash of message like “handing over the console to host”, after which the display reinitializes and starts showing the function key legends). I assume that Dell does something similar, but in the early stages you simply get “Please wait” and giant throbber (and not any kind of progress indication).
I find it hard to square the idea of a great government coverup with the story at hand, which is that the CIA was forcing people to participate in NIH studies that produce public papers.
Neat idea. And simple implementation.

I’ve taken two in recent years, spring-fall 2021, when the world (nyc) was reopening after a year locked in my apartment and expanded unemployment was paying enfough to get by so I wanted to reconnect with the world. And spring-now 2024, where right after getting laid off I fell into fractional contract work that pays enfough to get by, but less than a living and has reduced the urgency to find something else when all I hear is how

Both cases, I’ve ended up a bit directionless, lost, and alone (although this time less than last), and with a strain placed on my marriage not because of money, but because I’ve started leaning on my wife too much for my source of meaningful human contact. And after a day of her slogging through that at work, she doesn’t always want to be “on” and have thought provoking conversations or do activities together.

There was never a need for Low Code platforms to begin with, unless demand from wishful thinking is included too.

To accomplish the same thing in regular software languages and low code platform takes the exact same learning curve. If the low code platform is good, which they are often half arsed. And learning a regular software language is much more useful down the line too.
This was only to balance out a demand collapse which occurred during the two day period. The Saudi's were deliberately pumping oil during the pandemic to bankrupt US energy companies which were over-leveraged in many cases, and Trump responded in a way I think any US president would have--I say this despite my hate of the man.

The coincidence in the price rebound over two years reflects pandemic induced demand which took two years to recover and some time for the related supply chain issues to resolve: it is very difficult to shut off and restart an oil well, which is part of the reason why we had an overcapacity of oil during the pandemic which led to negative oil prices. In the same vein, oil prices shot up immediately due to demand pull and slow response from producers.

This persistence in the price increase reflects broader increases due to inflation caused by "helicopter money": the government printed money into the economy, which has inflationary consequences. It's not greedflation, it's governmentflation.
I always find it weird when someone's economic model of the world is basically "I hope corporations aren't greedy and don't raise prices too much" Surely there must be something else going on, no?

The basis if this article (and its forebear "Too DRY - The Grep Test"[1]) is that grep is fragile. It's just fragile in a way that's different from the way that IDEs are fragile.

If it's random (I assume that's what you mean by "chaotic") then it's efficient by definition because future price changes aren't a function of historical prices or publicly available information.
You don't really need any framework feature for this. It's really about good client side architecture, and abstracting components to fetch things before they are needed based on the most probable interactions. It depends on the domain and the different use cases, but it's something that the client should handle even if the server isn't the fastest.

App speed is about perception and the client has to provide this illusion. It's things like avoiding delayed interactions by hiding them behind multiple clicks, or requesting extra data to allow a buffer when requesting the next batch. This has downsides as the app would be constantly busy in the background and might lag, but it's about balancing those tradeoffs based on the user needs and target devices.
At least I know that cartoon. But generally people strongly overestimate how many people know various abbreviations. For years I didn't care to look up what "IANAL" means. I since have forgotten it again.
That they did, but they're servicing massive amounts of debt to be in the position to do so (i.e. to own the company).

It's obviously a thing you may do, and it's what PE does do. Just as the article said, it's fundamentally the same idea as renting out a mortgaged house.

But it also means that what's actually going on is that the business is really just the catalyst for the actual transaction of interest: moving money from the consumers to whoever lent the money to the PE firm in the first place. The PE firm business is to get paid to be the middlemen.

More is spent paying for the debt then is spent on the capital expenditures. New things and maintenance of existing things combined are well under the approximate £100m debt bill. The thing is, Center Parcs has existed for decades, so the debt is sort of artificial: if it had never been bought on finance by PE, there could be, say, £100m per year more to spend (capex, opex, whatever) without changing prices to the consumer at all.

It's a bit like being in that rented house, but the house was sold by an outright owner who could afford a install a new boiler to someone on a 80% LTV mortgage and now the landlord needs to put the prices up to cover the interest because their rates went up. Yes, the new owner couldn't have afforded the house without loading up on debt, so it's nice for them that someone will front the cash to get then into the landlord business. If no one can afford to build outright, it's also good that there are ways to pay for the capex at all, or no one could build any houses in the first place(1). But it's cold comfort to the tenant in question who is now personally paying for all the "value added" for less ability to get a new boiler then they had before.

(1) I'm unsure how much debt enabled the original Sherwood Forest site to be built at all, but £32m in 1987 isn't chump change. Then again the base rate was over 8%, so debt was pretty expensive. It was double that at around 15% in 1989 when they opened the second site. So, considering they didn't sink, either they had good profitability straight away or a small debt load.
Note that this paper isn't peer reviewed.
The reason PE is often viewed as terrible is that it seems to be strongly correlated with short-term-optimized business practices which end up being destructive to most stakeholders.

The general playbook: Borrow a bunch of money and use it to buy an existing company, pay yourself a bunch of money, extract a bunch of profit by ripping off customers and not reinvesting in the company, sell or go bankrupt. Everyone loses except for the people who paid themselves handsomely along the way.

As described in this story, Center Parcs doesn't seem to be following this playbook. Charging money for peak demand is not something unique to them, to PE companies, and not even remotely new. However, underinvesting in the company and hiding that behind financials that look good at a superficial glance -- as done in this article -- well let's just say I wouldn't be eager to buy without doing some extreme due diligence.

This has begun to happen in the UK as well, and I'm struggling to get anyone else to see it. Traffic lights installed in the past couple of years seem to use a new style of LED that emits a turquoise light instead of green. I took a picture and looked at the RGB value and the G/B were equal. Everyone else I ask says they still look green. Here's an example: https://static.independent.co.uk/2022/04/22/00/21135757-1ac1...
I've had good luck with giving it an example of HTML I want scraped and asking for a beautifulsoup code snippet. Generally the structure of what you want to scrape remains the same, and it's a tedious exercise coming up with the garbled string of nonsense that ends up parsing it.

Well, yes. That does appear to be what the people are paying for. The point here seems to be a sort of naturalist luxury experience in a carefully over-managed environment. I see this as similar to getting on the cruise ship and then being surprised that there isn't an independent marketplace on board.

If someone goes to a luxury accommodation experience and then become perturbed at being charged luxury prices, that seems to be a problem with their expectations.

I don't think that's right. Client side certificates can be used with any domain. There isn't even an X.509 attribute to represent such a restriction. No major TLS or certificate store implementation I'm aware of provides any out-of-band way to restrict client cert domains either, not even the PKCS11/Cryptoki hardware interface.

If you have client certs installed and ready for use, especially with automatic selection, a rogue but otherwise "trusted" server can request your certificate by its issuer DN and, even though you may not directly provide any other information, any details about your identity present on the certificate can then be seen by that server.

Even so, thanks to the underlying security model of TLS, giving your cert to a rogue server still doesn't directly open up any confused deputy or MITM risks though, as far as I know, which is more relevant to the comparison with Yubikeys. Certificates, even client certificates, are meant to be "public", and the mere possession of one proves nothing; no certificate should be trusted until the party presenting it can prove it has the associated private key.

But it's a trap you've chosen to walk into, when there are literally millions of alternative ways to spend your holidays that don't involve staying on a company's private estate whose main attraction is a wide range of chargeable activities which it's the only provider of in the area. As with activity prices on cruises the natural response isn't "gollygosh how did you survive?" it's "if that sort of thing bothers you why did you pick that holiday?". As the rest of the article goes on to clarify, it isn't even like the operators are actually making a killing when you consider the amount of investment involved in buying woodland and waterslides (and that the half-term surge prices for accommodation are the bookends for months of low occupancy).

Plus if you really hate their catering prices, there's nothing stopping you driving to the cafe or supermarket in the next village and bringing your own bikes
