For the majority of my childhood and teenage years the door was never locked. I don’t think it’s a British thing to leave your keys on the seat, but they were always in the hallway, right next to the unlocked door (like everyone else I knew).

I’m trying to think of the point this changed, and I can’t, but I would guess around 2008-2010 or so.

As written, without introducing VLAs or additional blocks, no. C23 §6.2.4(5–6):

> An object whose identifier is declared with no linkage and without the storage-class specifier `static` has automatic storage duration [...].

> For such an object that does not have a variable length array type, its lifetime extends from entry into the block with which it is associated until execution of that block ends in any way. (Entering an enclosed block or calling a function suspends, but does not end, execution of the current block.) If the block is entered recursively, a new instance of the object is created each time. The initial representation of the object is indeterminate. If an initialization is specified for the object and it is not specified with `constexpr`, it is performed each time the declaration or compound literal is reached in the execution of the block [...]; otherwise, the representation of the object becomes indeterminate each time the declaration is reached.

That is, a local variable is live from the moment the block that contains its declaration is entered (however and wherever that happens) until it is left (ditto), but is initialized or, for lack of a better word, uninitialized each time execution passes that declaration (however many times that happens, including none). This is despite the fact that at compile time the variable’s name is not in scope until the = introducing its initializer (or the place where such a = would go if there isn’t one). Modulo its smaller feature set, C89 §6.1.2.4(3) stipulates the same.

In addition to GGP’s deliberately confusing example, this permits the much more reasonable and C89-compatible

switch (x) {
int i, j;

case 1:
/* use i and j */
break;

case 2:
/* use i and j */
break;
}

The only exception is locals of variably modified type (e.g. variable-length arrays), whose declarations you can’t jump over on pain of undefined behaviour.

No wonder basically every C compiler allocates a single stack frame at function entry.
Tracking all this data is pointless. How many clothes can you buy if you put that energy into making money instead? Buy what you like and what you intuitively know is working well for you. As for the analysis, the prices are subject to random inflation, and the actual wear and tear is highly variable. Even the quality of the same product bought years apart can be different enough to mess up the analysis.

I would guess the shipbuilding industry in Finland is also built on subsidy and "protectionism" just like every other successful industry too. A cursory google search shows millions that were made available to shipbuilders: https://www.businessfinland.fi/en/for-finnish-customers/serv...

I'd bet that's just scratching the surface. The only way any country has been able to develop their productive capacities is through public grants and subsidies. The history of US industry shows the same thing, research in materials, electronics, the internet, etc were all accomplished through publicly funded research.

Language snobs and 1990s OO snobs really love to hate on tcl - yeah everything is a string or a command, and the OO extensions were kind of kludgy - but there's a design ethos to the ecosystem that is really special. Ditch tkinter, which is basically writing python to write tcl, and try doing a GUI in straight tcl/tk. Try the sqlite interface. Write a modest C extension or wrap a library. So much of it just works.

This is true of many things in the javascript ecosystem. In react/node/js-land you HAVE to invest in maintenance (and re-writes) or be left with a legacy codebase that just might not work one day if npm install fails.
Great. Didgets is a general-purpose data management system that supports multiple data models. The object store features allow it to manage file data. The tagging system I designed to attach meta-data tags to each object also allow it to manage structured data like relational databases.

The website was designed to highlight its DB features and how it can be used to quickly analyze data in its tables. Don't let that distract you from its initial purpose as a file system replacement.

I can see a need for security, but I think power plants in general must be quite secure, otherwise a terrorist can waltz in, put a stick of dynamite under a boiler and boom, one gigawatt of electricity goes offline.

> the cost of this reactor itself

Westinghouse is quite tight-lipped about this reactor design. If you go to the NRC site with their application, most stuff is withheld from the public view [1]. However, they seem to have addressed the 2 big cost drivers of nuclear reactors. Their reactor does not need a high pressure vessel, and it has passive cooling, so that it can't melt down. The second part is kind of trivial. The square-cube law says that smaller reactors are more efficient at passive cooling, the smaller the better. That's one of the reasons the US Navy never had an accident with one of its hundreds of naval reactors. The no need for the high pressure vessel is quite unique. The cooling is done with liquid sodium, not with water. Water at high temperature needs to be kept under huge pressures to not boil, but liquid sodium does not have that problem.

I think Westinghouse envisions that they will, at some point, be able to manufacture these reactors on an assembly line, and maybe build several per day. If they get to that point, then maybe a reactor will be more expensive than a diesel generator, but it will not need to be refueled for eight years. A diesel generator burns about 0.4 liters per kWh, so a 5 MW generator would burn about 500 gallons liters per hour, or in dollars, it would be about $1500/hour. Over 8 years, that is about $100 million. If Westinghouse can get to the point of making one reactor for $20 million, they will have a huge market.

No-one is being sued (yet) and wordpress.org was not targeted in any way. Matt is being dishonest by repeating this lie anywhere and everywhere. Including on the very page you linked.

WPEngine sent a cease and desist letter addressed to, and targetting only, Matt Mullenweg and his for profit company Automattic. WPEngine are explicitly not targeting wordpress.org in the letter. You can read it here: https://wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Cease-and-De...

Side note: wp.org is indeed mentioned a couple times in the letter but only when referencing Matt's blog post on the site, the trademark rules, and some technical information around the revisions feature. The "demands" part of the letter address Matt and Automattic exclusively.

Matt knows that an attack on dot org would rally everyone to his side, which is why he is repeating this lie over and over. He is trying to use the community as shield.

This is also (IMHO) why he shut off access to dot org. He wants WPEngine to be seen taking some sort of action against the community.

Matt is constantly shifting between "Matt from Automattic" and "Matt from the WP Foundation" wherever it suits him. It's sickening. He needs to be removed from the foundation immediately.

HelloGitHub Vol.102
The bureaucracy involved in getting anything into any of the app stores basically make them untenable for side-project/one-man-band developers. At first it felt like a democratization of distribution, but now it's completely turned around, and is worse than before app stores, as the app store is effectively a monopoly on that particular platform (yes, I know you can get around that on Android, but most people won't/don't). And desktop OS are trying to move that way as well. I guess web-apps are probably the only real solution.

"Feet" doesn't cover it. "Body" is more appropriate.

Running with poor quality shoes unduly stresses your knees, hips, and lower back. Over time, this is likely to develop chronic pain, or bursitis, or other problems that can lead to long-term mobility issues.

Proto-Indo-European culture seems to have placed a great deal of importance on the sanctity of contracts and the notion of reciprocal hospitality, reflected in many descendant myths and etymologies surviving from Ireland through India. If the Indo-Europeans did indeed come from the Ukrainian steppes, as seems likely, this may be a reflection of their high mobility (on horseback) causing lots of contact with potential for friction, and the fact that important personal property (for a steppe society, mainly herd animals) was moveable and vulnerable to cattle rustling. There's some great books on Indo-European society if you're interested.

It's about downlinks, so, obviously, they're mandating it for within their area of jurisdiction, i.e. within the US. Plus, the notice itself says that this approval only brings the US more into alignment with international allocations.
>There's really no excuse that the cost of making canon shells is 10x higher than Russia. Isn't being able to manufacturing cheaply the signature of a highly developed society?

We have prioritized high wages for workers in the US, a phenomenon also driven by the reserve currency status of the dollar. Russians, Chinese, and Indians work for a fraction of the price we do. We have high labor costs and have to import many components due to them being made much cheaper elsewhere.

>We can only keep our expertise by actively doing. If the next war breaks out, how would the US win? By sending armies of lawyers and coders?

You're totally right. This war is coming very fast as well, and by some accounts has already started. I worry we will all soon find out just how bad of a position we are in, the hard way.
VR FS2020 is so good that it made me get a pilot's license.
If the rule is "take one" and someone takes everything, than a rule is in fact breached. In your example the candy bowl is explicitly marked as "take as much as you want" and someone does. If you don't want that, label it appropriately next year.

I'm this case, the license explicitly allows everyone to use the software for free. I don't understand your candy analogies. If you're not OK with people using your software for free, use a commercial license (or a dual licensing model, or one of a hundred possible solutions other than a free license).
Self-diagnosed. I just know I cannot think visually, or if so very poorly. You most likely have aphantasia as well. It affects 1% of the population.
Meta drove the Zstandard content encoding, but Google drove the adoption of Zstandard in Chrome.

The faster Brotli levels could probably be made to match Zstandard’s compression speed. But we’ve invested a lot in optimizing these levels, so it would likely take significant investment to match. Google is also contributing to improving the speed of Zstandard compression.

A cheaper conversion from Zstandard to Brotli is possible, but I wouldn’t really expect an improvement to compressed size. The encoding scheme impacts how efficient a LZ coding is, so for Brotli to beat Zstandard, it would likely want a different LZ than Zstandard uses. The same applies for a conversion from Brotli to Zstandard.
This is a bit like insisting on using latex without ever touching packages, and then asking for the functionality of packages anyway. At least for the CSS part.

I know what you mean, I do the same. I agree, but at the same time, it's difficult to start building in protections for the user. Where do you start and where do you stop? I have been forced to do the extreme to protect the user, and then you are asked why things are so difficult to use. I think to make something for someone that concentrates in the technology, as well as a beginner, means you've got to give up so much power (or create a secondary syntax/interface for both audiences). It would be nice to be able to set modes, but then it's going to be database specific unless it has proven itself to be useful across engines. Like most standardization, then you play syntax games between vendors. It would be nice to at least be able to write an UPDATE or DELETE statement with a leading character or keyword to display affected rows.

These are called ACH return codes and are similar to disputes on credit card.

Liability is on the receiving or the originator institution. But in practice, it depends on the contract with the “processor”. Many Pay By Bank “processors” offer a guarantee model to cover these returns. Otherwise, liability is typically on the merchant.

However, Nacha is beginning to iterate on their return codes to better fit the e-commerce use case and clearly define liability.
> Politics and corruption are not outsized drivers of law. Especially case law built through the courts. It’s all edge cases.

Case law is full of politics. How do you think courts resolve the ambiguities? If there was an objective standard for how to do it then judges could be replaced by computer programs. Judges are used instead because rigorous and consistent application of rules would lead to outcomes that are politically inexpedient, so judges only apply the rules as written when politics fails to require something different.

> Try the example of drafting a standard apartment lease, over millions of transactions between landlords and tenants lots of edge cases emerge. So over time leases get more complicated.

This is just a facet of how contracts and lawyers work. The law creates defaults that a contractual agreement can override, so each time the law establishes a default that landlords don't like but are allowed to change, they add a new clause to the lease to turn it back the other way. What they really want is a simple one-liner that says all disputes the law allows to be resolved in favor of the landlord, will be. But politics doesn't allow them to get away with that because what they're doing would be too clear to the public, so politics requires them to achieve the result they want through an opacifying layer of complexity.

If you're talking about people that think nothing should be paid, then kundi is not one of those people, and you're responding in the wrong place.

If you're talking about people that think payment should be optional but encouraged, then your "There is no pricing that would satisfy the person" "it doesn't matter" argument is incorrect. It does matter to those people and you can have a productive discussion about the correct amount.
