How long before a textbook with C23 update is published?

I am asking because I am in the market for purchasing a book on the C programming language.

I am an experienced software engineer, but with experience in Java, Python, JS and other few languages. I would like to learn C and C++ deeply.

For C++, I ended up buying Stroustrup's "A tour of C++".

I am looking for something similar in C.
Is there a good place to "acquire" ISO specs? I've never been able to find them in the usual collections of availability-challenged media. I often resort to google-dorking, which does usually work but it's pretty annoying.

Is there a library that will loan me a copy?
Geekbench is an excellent benchmark, and has a pretty good correlation with the performance people see in the real world where there aren't other limitations like storage speed.

There is a sort of whack-a-mole thing where adherents of particular makers or even instruction sets dismiss evidence that benefits their alternatives, and you find that at the root of almost all of the "my choice doesn't win in a given benchmark means the benchmark is bad" rhetoric. Then they demand you only respect some oddball benchmark where their favoured choice wins.

AMD fans long claimed that Geekbench was in cahoots with Intel. Then when Apple started dominating, that it was in cahoots with ARM, or favoured ARM instruction sets. It's endless.
Interesting. What happened to effect such a difference?
Why worry about something you have no control over? Keep using it, but be exploring alternatives now in case it does. Don't waste energy fretting over this.
Yes, the latest generation diesel engines have lower compression ration than engines from a couple decades ago. Maybe something like 16:1 instead of 19:1. But also exhaust gas recirculation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_recirculation
Kind of embarrassing to even be in this thread spending time here but would it not also be probable, however unlikely, to never get the full works of Shakespeare?

> Apple Weather is less reliable than DarkSky

Doesn't seem that way to me. The predicted rain over the next hour looks the same as it did in DarkSky, and you can view the scrub the predicted clouds map timeline and see that it's predicting the same stuff. And the real-life quality where I live has shown no change, nor is there any obvious reason why there would have been. I presume Apple bought DarkSky for their tech rather than their userbase, so it wouldn't make any sense for them to reduce its computational quality.

> and not even close to feature complete.

To be honest, I don't really remember what else was in DarkSky, I just used it for its main feature -- rain over the next hour. But the Apple Weather app has a ton of features. Is there one or more specific features you're missing?

I think it sucks for Android users that Apple bought it. But for iOS I've been totally happy to have it integrated, rather than dealing with 2 separate apps.
I was quite surprised (pleasantly) with the editing features available in Photos. I rarely use it on the desktop, and primarily only use it on the device I took the image, but to see how much more in depth the editing was on desktop was one of those that I thought for a second might make me switch to using it for device captured image editing.

For non-device camera images, I still use full tilt apps as that's just my workflow and I do not ever see Photos working its way into that workflow
I think these maxes will be increasingly irrelevant for non-scientific images since AI-based compression/upsizing will allow 4K images to be blown up to 8K, 16K and beyond with high visual fidelity.
Nice, thanks.

Summary of changes appears on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C23_(C_standard_revision)

A few of my highlights/to be aware of:
* Add nullptr constant for nullptr_t type
* Add true and false keywords
* Add ' digit separator to literal constants, such as 0xFE'DC'BA'98
* The meaning of the auto keyword was changed to cause type inference while also retaining its old meaning of a storage class specifier if used alongside a type. Unlike C++, C23 allows type inference only for object definitions (no inferring function return type or function parameter type).
* Add char8_t type for storing UTF-8 encoded data and change the type of u8 character constants and string literals to char8_t

Apple is clearly investing in it, but for whatever reason it's simply not got the foothold it once had and they don't seem super interested in pushing it and people aren't using it. I feel like it's substantially less prominent in the industry than it was a decade or two ago, I see it in far fewer studios (or, even further I'll say I literally have not seen anyone using it in person in the past ten years, which is a marked change.) For a very long time, I feel like cubase/logic/pro tools were The DAWs That People Used. Logic doesn't seem to be appealing to new producers as much and it doesn't seem like Apple is as invested in pushing or promoting it as it used to be. I might be wrong, though!

I much more frequently see Ableton for folks doing electronic music now (that really eats up most of the dance music space, as far as I can tell) with pro tools being the juggernaut in the live recording space. That said, I'm like... a hobbyist audio engineer who records and mixes friend's bands, so it's not like I'm in and out of studios all the time and there's tons I haven't seen. It's just anecdotal.

"I really want to match items like these, but it does not work" is just a fine tuning problem.
I am biased by my religious beliefs, but I've always struggled with the idea that abiogenesis could spontaneously occur in "just" a few billion years on earth. A few billion seems like not enough time. Even the simplest forms of life are mind bogglingly complex.

Of course, it's a few billion years scaled across >1 life-friendly planets (since it only has to happen on 1 of them), but still just seems like not enough monkeys and typewriters in the given timeframe to produce something as astonishingly complex as life, let alone Shakespeare.
I said ‘imply’ because your response is not to an article on apples walled garden but work of open source developers. I agree with you 100% on criticizing apple but not on whether someone should put effort in making it more open.
Great that the public can only read the drafts of this open standard without paying $$$.
I checked that too, interesting! Second post is one I would have made too lol.
If you're only going to a conference to attend breakout sessions as if they were lectures, you probably should just stay home. It's one reason I think sessions should generally be shorter; they're to pique your interest in a topic, not be a comprehensive tutorial (unless they're actually structured that way).

I totally get that some people don't like the other aspects of conference-going and that's fine. They probably really are better off taking some days at home to read and watch videos.

I think it's at least plausible that ADHD traits could have been useful in the hunting and gathering environment humans evolved in. Being more inclined to pay attention to new things in your environment might make you more likely to discover threats and new food sources. Being able to hyperfocus might be useful if you are practicing persistence hunting and following prey for hours. These traits become a "disorder" because they're not as well suited to capitalist modes of production.
I have similar thoughts but I also didn't have chance to do proper investigation of the prior art :).

I am currently a software engineering manager but I have over 15 years of experience building software in many domains, from game development to defense simulation to oil and gas to medical devices. I have done board design, built game engines, captured spherical video from high altitude balloons, and so many other things. I am looking for a small team to join or lead building something exciting with new problems to solve, but am also happy building things to requirements. Let's talk!

Show HN: Vite-Express-Vercel Starter Kit
A few people have had issues getting this going when deploying their app to Vercel. I created this to help someone get up and running successfully without the back and forth of searching.
At this point for video I'm just using DaVinci Resolve which is free except for 8k work and works on windows/mac/linux.
But that’s a very specific thing to adjust a benchmark for, what if I want to host 50 VMs on one server for example? Then the 100 core server would be much better than the 16 core server, even though it has a lower benchmark value.
True! This list could more accurately be described as "Unicode codepoints that expand or contract when case is changed in UTF-8", which is exactly what I was testing in my program. I had built a parser that was relying on some assumptions that I felt was not correct, so I built some tests with this data.

For those interested, this was the generation script. I'm sure there was a way to do it better or simpler, and I wish I could just say this was a quick-and-dirty script, but in fact I spent quite a few hours on it (this is the fourth rewrite):

Great news for Pixelmator group/founders (probably a decent exit package). Not sure how I feel about the end user experience owned by Apple though.

Apple has acquired many apps and often either killed them, silently (dark sky?), or UX gone down the toilet.

To the contrary, you want there to be buzz around their new features. As a professional, you need to keep up, and you want new features to reduce your busywork in the app.

Buzz is actually a pretty good metric, because it means the product is being maintained and improved, and you want to be investing in tools that will continue to meet your needs over the next 10 years rather than become stagnant, and then you have to re-train on a competitor.
Without clickable links to actual content it is not very useful to have it printed.
> the event it describes WILL eventually occur given enough time/trials/etc.

What's the meaning of writing WILL with capitals, and then saying "nobody is talking about the real, actual universe"? What is the value of certainty about what WILL happen in hypothetical universes?
Technically that list exists inside of the two big version managers!
If there is a risk that a husband would beat his wife in this case and that she could not leave him, there is no way that any form of electronic vote would change her life, or even her childrens. People who protect this system will probably rig the votes to keep it or a similar one.

I don't know any big change in the past, anywhere, like a big social progress, a regime change, a revolution or a coup that was enabled by a mass or anonymous voters. I think that if you look into it, you will find that it's always with a large consent or when a group of people takes action openly to push for it.

> As docs site owners, I wonder if we should start freely providing embeddings for our content to anyone who wants them, via REST APIs or well-known URIs. Who knows what kinds of cool stuff our communities can build with this extra type of data about our docs?

Interesting idea. You'd have to specify the exact embedding model used to generate an embedding, right? Is there a well understood convention for such identification like say model_name:model_version:model_hash or something? For technical docs, obviously very broad field, is there an embedding model (or small number) widely used or obviously highly suitable that a site ownwer could choose one and have some reasonable expectation that publishing embeddings for their docs generated using that model would be useful to others? (Naive questions, I am not embedded in the field.)

It seems there was a huge loss of software in the 32bit->64bit switch. Code bases in Cocoa were too heavy to switch to Swift (or whatever the specific languages were). FCPX is such a different version than FCP. Just like QTPlayerX is so different than QT Player 7 Pro was such a regression of capabilities. I doubt there was a "this is the best QT Player we've ever released" on that "upgrade".
> doesn't use enough anesthetic

My school dentist always botched the anesthesia, and afterwards I had to grind my teeth for three days to make them fit together again.

I never told anyone because adults kept saying dentistry hurts so I assumed it was normal. I didn't realize how fucked up this was until I went to college and experienced a competent dentist for the first time.
Yes, in particular the points you cite have been widely discussed since the late 70s. The 'proofs' in question are not absolute mathematical proofs but strong hints around which cases have been made including a lot of elements. The cases are not that clearly cut,and there is not a lot of positive evidence for one thesis or the other but the phrasing here is good approximation.

The research appears serious, but at first sight it doesn't seem to disprove any of the dominant thesis around Vergina.

The question "who is in tomb II?" is still open. Though recent research has provided evidence against the occupant being Philip II (and being rather Philip III) there is still a good deal of evidence "for" Philip II. The case (for Philip II) made at the (very impressive) exhibition at the Vergina museum is well explained.

The case for Cleopatra is even more tenuous but also very well explained.
"The C Programming Language" 2nd edition is the bible that every C programmer read. It is a very good book.

C didn't change that much, you can just read the new standard afterwards.
I chatted with someone who had a platform like this in the past, and they said it worked really well. They ended up shutting it down when a server lost data or something weird. They also made a fair amount of money from links to buy the book new if there were no used copies available to "order."

Legally, you can probably use the Google Books API for a project like this (whereas I couldn't due to their rules). Or, you could also use Open Library since you don't need great data quality, only the title and author to get this running. For me it was some of the other quality issues that made it not worth my time back then.

>Is there a public roadmap somewhere for the features?

Not a good one: https://forauthors.shepherd.com/roadmap

I promise I will update it this weekend. I am trying to find a better embed than this text list (behind the scenes, we have a much better system).

Basically, it is:

Roll out a better ad system for our Founding Author Members (as they are heavily funding the website).

Roll out book series pages (and test a notification system for users there)

Ship a massive update to our bookshelf collections of genres, age groups, and topics. This will visually navigate and break down the most loved books of all time, trending, new, and some other cool stuff.

Improve the accuracy of our genre / topic system (as of right now, it is not doing well). And I am working to add themes and tropes into he mix.

Big improvement to book section UX.

Building a DB of all books to power features needing that going forward (going to try to see if I can use Open Library).

Add a monthly "fav read of month" program for readers.

It is a rough list; still testing and thinking on a lot of these.

And waiting for a lot of data to come back on our personalized email list -> https://shepherd.com/my-book-dna

As I am trying to really do something cool with email and waiting to make sure engagement looks good with 1,000 subscribers before I start evolving and improving it.
