You probably shouldn’t do those things. The point of a high level language is to not have to think about such details. If you can’t get the performance you need, you should use a different tool, instead of trying to circumvent implicit limitations.

Quality content gets punished.

Investigative journalism went down the drain for the same reasons. Clickbait content is so much cheaper to produce and has the same effect, because you can produce hundreds of clickbait articles in the same time.

I can't explain why, but I always cringe a little when I hear someone say that they "consume content."

Maybe its because I can't tell if brings up animalistic connotations (a pack of feral hipsters picking at the remains of an endangered podcast on the Serengeti), or if they are intentionally being elitist ("It would be a waste of time to simply read Chomsky's work, an educated person would make the effort consume it.")
It always seems to me there’s room for a platform like the “old” youtube that doesn’t behave this way? Or maybe youtube just has too much critical mass for that ever to work.

I’m not American, nor do I own a timeshare, but weren’t timeshares scams in and of themselves? I remember reading about them about 15~20 years ago.

Targeting victims of previous scams is common in crypto and MLM circles. The trick is almost always promising them an out of their previous losses with a new venture and this venture is sold to them on the basis of them being ‘experienced’ or ‘knowledgeable’ about the previous venture.

> what used to be a complex blob of floats is now a simple grid layout.

And what used to be relatively simple static layouts designed for a 4:3 screen are now layouts that must accommodate a screen of any arbitrary aspect ratio and physical size. This means that most of your components will now have at least 2 layout states, one for desktop and one for mobile, usually horizontal and vertical respectively, accomplished by switching random layout related properties on and off. Arguably anything related to CSS layout comes with a ton of quirks and flex/grid are no exception. It's those quirks that put most people off CSS, because they're sometimes far from intuitive, hard to debug, and are just things you have to know.
I agree. Americans have terrible (though consistent) bad spelling. I have tried using "colour" in CSS but it just doesn't seem to understand. Madness. Perhaps a spell checker would help them get it right;)

To do the stuff the blog post talks about you 'dpkg-buildpackage'. That's it.

After years of maintaining packages, I think I decided that much of the complexity is unfortunately warranted. You want stuff to work in all sorts of situations, with all sorts of different other things installed at the same time. You want upgrades to work. You want tests to work and to run, but probably you want to skip them when cross-building. You want the package to be co-installable across architectures. You want the package to be cross-buildable and to be usable to cross-build other packages. And you want your builds to be reproducible. And lots and lots of other things, all the while having to deal with upstreams that often don't care about many of these things.

I haven't seen any other packaging system that is both nicer and maintains Debian's high standards. Maybe something exists. I think Debian's biggest problem in this area is the documentation. The official docs should be more accessible, but that's a big job that nobody has stepped up to do. Yet.

> People don't hate MS because they're big.

I'm sorry that you're blanket speaking for everyone else, because I certainly did.

I hated MS because they were big, they were powerful, they were my father's favorite. I reviled Bill Gates because of his education and privilege and vision, and I renamed "win.com" to "lose.com" and plastered "Satan Inside" stickers on my AMD-processor machines that eventually ran Minix and OpenBSD.

In college I became an arrogant Unix bigot, and I cultivated a distinct superiority complex, as if I could singlehandedly usher in The Year of Linux on the Desktop.

Eventually I came to accept that it was just software; it was software that everyone else used just fine; and that a uniform installation of adequate software is better for the collective good than some idealistic, unachievable utopia of Richard Stallman's wet dreams.

Well, the above-ground economy is also clogging the internet with AI garbage, so I guess there's not much news here.

And frankly, the average public is pretty good at clogging the internet with regular garbage without AI's involvement.
It's a non-local goto, also a MetaWare language extension, out of the anonymous nested function that the for statement body becomes to (effectively) an anonymous label right after the for statement.

Another part of the High C/C++ Language Reference describes non-local labels and jumps to them. It doesn't go into great detail, but it does talk about stack unwinding, so expect something similar to how High C/C++ implemented throwing exceptions.
In my experience, structuring a query to execute efficiency requires some basic software-engineering thinking about what's going on, while convincing a query planner to do the right thing requires deep expertise in the query planner.
Capstone supports an impressive breadth of architectures. However, if all you need is x86/AMD64 decoding and disassembly, there are much higher quality (in terms of accurate decoding) libraries out there.

I wrote a differential fuzzer for x86 decoders a few years ago, and XED and Zydis generally performed far better (in terms of accuracy) than Capstone[1]. And on the Rust side, yaxpeax and iced-x86 perform very admirably.

S3 is probably the worst possible counter-example given that Amazon hasn't made any moves against S3 being cloned verbatim by their competitors, even though they probably could block them from using the S3 trademark to market their services as "S3 compatible" if they wanted to. They even let you use the official AWS tools and libraries to interface with third party S3 clones. That's about as fair to the competition as it gets.
The model makes some assumptions that I wouldn't make when making the buy vs rent decision.

> The individual uses a typical 20% down payment and the remaining balance is financed with a conventional 30-year fixed rate mortgage at the average market interest rate at the time of purchase

Is 20% down still common? I think we put only like 4% down.

> The individual expects to hold the property for a period of 8 years (footnote: According to Hansen (1998) the Census data shows that 8 years is the average home holding period in the U.S.)

I've been in my house for 9 years and expect to be in it for at least another 10 more, if not until I die or go to an assisted living facility.

I think the model should have at LEAST been done twice: Once with the 8 year average, and maybe another run with a 20 year or even 30 year holding.

To be honest, my eyes started glazing over and I got lost in all the details, but I didn't see if the study controlled for the fact that rents nearly always go up. When I bought my house in 2015, my mortgage payment was $1,600/mo, plus property tax of $300/mo. Zillow estimated the rent value to be $1,800/mo. Now in 2024, 9 years later, Zillow estimates the rental value to be $2,700/mo.

Even ignoring the equity I have in the house, renting would clearly be a huge loss. The $100/mo I would have invested would be currently being absolutely devoured by the higher rent today.

If you include equity, the high side to owning is insane. I bought for $338K, and now it's estimated to be worth $557K. Even if I went for some insane interest-only loan, I'm still holding an asset that's gained $219K in value. 9 years of $1800/mo rent is $194K. Imagine dumping all that money and getting NONE of the financial benefits of holding an appreciating asset.

If you think you're going to live in a house for only 5 years, then yeah, it might make sense to rent, because then you avoid closing costs and the awful amortization that a mortgage has for the first couple years. It also avoids being subject to price crash volatility. But if you think you'll live in a house for 10+ years, I cannot possibly see how it can be better to rent.
I don't agree. The emphasis on content implies it's the output that is most important, and that you can split it out from all the nonsense you differentiate above. Many of the people in this thread counter that the act of creation is the most important part. Just stop with "Creator" (or builder or writer).
Embedded means that something that is not itself computer contains one, running some dedicated control application. If a Raspberry Pi is built into a toaster, where it controls the temperature and toasting duration according to the user-selected selected darkness level, it's embedded. If the toaster has a screen, and you can install and uninstall apps on the Pi, then it doesn't look so embedded any more.

Because it’s essentially setSeed(getTimeMillis()). V6 and v7 are sortable, that’s why they exist. Which means like getTimeMillis() there are a finite number of starting points to try to guess the seed.
It automatically adds connections as you traverse through files/symbols. Not super sure if this is what you mean, but we intend to serve the users "flows" based on queries in the natural language e.g. "what happens when you click the subscribe button from the mouse down all the way to the backend".
This has been a great idea for decades. I want Haystack to be successful just like many other attempts. The early execution seems promising.

Btw I've always thought that this is even more powerful when the screen estate is more infinite than a 2D screen (like in a VR headset).
Thank you for comments! Certainly, this application may not be able to handle any kinds of images. However, I tried to stitch images without using deep-learning. Therefore, the strength of this app is that when this app receives the same images, it always produces consistent results. In the future, I will try to develop a more effective image merging method in more generalized scenario.
I really feel this with podcasts; everyone seems like they need to make a buck now. Before about 2015 there were so many great podcasts that people did for fun or because they wanted to get a message out. Slowly, one by one, they started adding sponsorships for Blue Apron and NatureBox and SquareSpace (these were the VPMs of 2015). Now even the most niche podcast has algorithmic ads. I frequently hear creators say that these ads make very little money but I guess the creators think they're losing out by not including them.

I remember listening to The Skeptics Guide to the Universe back then and thinking "everyone else is adding ads but I bet this one never will, they've been doing it ad-free for like a decade". Then a year later they had ads. It's just sad to think of what we've lost.
> This hurt my brain.

Why? It's straight up correct.

Sure, you could still use a css framework, but you really don't need to once you're using any frontend library.

Each component comes with it's own styles, that makes the css framework redundant, as a component library gives you a better development experience with the same effect.

Add a few global vars for theme colorings, default spacing etc and it becomes pretty straightforward to maintain a coherent UI even across repositories/teams (or distribute a tailwind config,works even better imo)
He did say "inferior business model". Not inferior customer experience.
> Be careful, this is hearsay and not evidence.

You're mistaken. There are many exceptions to the evidentiary rules against hearsay in the US, and one of the more common exceptions is a statement made by the opposing party (i.e. while the prosecution is questioning a witness, a statement made by the defendant to that witness) (Rule 801(d)(2)). It's evidence.

Your issues with the credibility of those witnesses are valid, and the defense had the opportunity to bring those issues up at trial (that's why we have jury trials and why you have a right to defend yourself at your jury trial). They certainly weren't the only pieces of evidence against him (there's a lot), and I'm sure the jury considered that.

Im not arguing that they are they are equivalent. I think I have better morals that SBF. What I am saying is that I think SBFs thought process was closer to:

"It's alright for me to deceive and defraud people, because I don't see that as wrong"

than

"I think I am doing a morally bad thing with no justification and am a bad guy for doing it"

Most people perceive themselves in a good light and justify their actions to themselves, even if an outsider doesnt like their action.

I guess Im not very clear on this, because the other poster keeps replying with "but they know they were breaking the law", which seems entirely beside the point.
> I was under the impression most of how c interacts with memory is part of the undefined part of the spec

For a long time, the memory model, formally speaking, was underspecified. Both C and C++ agreed on and added a memory model in C11 and C++11.

> fencing

You can add a fence via this API: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/atomic/atomic_thread_fence

> This varies per arch

Right, so what assembly this API will emit depends on the underlying architecture details.

Notably, the Linux kernel does not use the standard C memory model, it uses its own.

For anyone curious to hear more about how this happens, and a discussion with someone who was a former police officer (maybe even detective?) yet still fell victim, The Daily did an episode on this in April as well

In general, I've seen lots of 'victim blaming' with these sorts of scams. I mean, I do understand that it's easy to sit there and think 'I understand sending money the first time, but how do you still fall for it the 6th time they ask you to send more money?'. But I think it's important to remember that victims are often older or new to the country*. These scams are designed and refined to make you feel trapped.

* I'm aware the OP involves a Canadian couple and the NYT story involves an American couple. I don't think the direct country matters. Most of these scams are all about scaring and isolating someone.

I've had fresh ones grilled in Greece couple of times and they were very salty (not typical can-level but still a ton). It could be possible they add salt that much just for this fish and every other fish they prepare with normal amount of salt, but I find it unlikely.
Timeshares / Vacation Clubs (they are basically the same thing) are massive scams. They use tricky math, high pressure sales tactics, etc. to push people who can't afford it into taking out massive loans to pay into contracts they can basically never get out of.

I went to a vacation club presentation for a bunch of free stuff once, it wasn't worth it. But its crazy the things they push onto you. They make up numbers on how expensive vacations are to pressure people into thinking they have a deal. Then they try and sell a huge package ($50k+) and to push people into a 20%+ APR loan. Then if you do sign, they stick monthly fees on top of it in perpetuity.

Its a bad idea, but I could see how people that don't have a sharp eye and a mathematical maturity might fall for it.
"Immeasurable" and "large" are not synonyms. I agree with you that it's immeasurable, but I disagree that it's large. It's likely that nothing is going to change if we know what those brown spots are today or if we know in 10-20 years. Sure, there will be some cool "I fucking love science" photos that come out of this, but if that's the "immeasurable" value you are anticipating, I would give that a value of less than $1 million.
My mom is a big fan of Kohl's. I casually mentioned I needed to restock on pants for the winter while visiting her last month, so she gave me her Kohl's coupon stack. Turns out that 40% off sale only was on certain brands. At least I liked the pants I bought.
So I'm not a "scientist" really, I'm just a bit more of a theory-focused software engineer.

An example has been times where I really want to use a certain concurrency style, and I'm convinced that it should be faster than the way we're doing things before, so I will write a few non-trivial tests to make sure that's right, and I'll get inconclusive numbers.
