> What the client’s money really buys, though, is that delightful feeling of making the thing somebody else’s problem. You know, we’ve turned it all over to a top-tier expert, and now we just don’t have to think about it anymore. The more that person charges, the more reassured the client feels.

The way it was phrased to me was "they're paying for your confidence". Confidence that you can just come in and get the job done without too much trouble for them. That was pretty much the best advice I got as a consultant. His advice about doubling what you think your rate should be is also good, and when my company started doing that, we didn't lose clients, instead we moved up-market and actually ended up working with better clients on much more interesting projects. I think both nuggets of wisdom are of a piece: act like you're an expert that is paid commensurate with your success rate. Of course, you have to back it up, but isn't that an implementation detail?

> Touchscreens just stop registering your touch when you get old. The older you get the less moisture there's in your skin, which at some point makes touch screens ignore you.

I had no idea that was a thing but it makes sense now that you said it. I will now be a lot more understanding when older folks have trouble using their phones, self-checkout, etc.
Their main, and default client, still doesn't support multiple accounts. It's been years
> Given the neighboring thread where I just learned that the lexer runs before the preprocessor, I’m not sure that would be the outcome.

That is precisely why nested comments would end up breaking the C89 code example I provided above. I elaborate this further below.

> There’s no reason to assume the comment terminator wouldn’t be ignored in strings.

There is no notion of "comment terminator in strings" in C. At any point of time, the lexer is reading either a string or a comment but never one within the other. For example, in C89, C99, etc., this is an invalid C program too:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
/* Comment
printf("hello */ world");
return 0;
}

In this case, we wouldn't say that the lexer is "honoring the comment terminator in a string" because, at the point the comment terminator '*/' is read, there is no active string. There is only a comment that looks like this:

/* Comment
printf("hello */

The double quotation mark within the comment is immaterial. It is simply part of the comment. Once the lexer has read the opening '/*', it looks for the terminating '*/'. This behaviour would hold even if future C standards were to allow nested comments, which is why nested comments would break the C89 example I mentioned in my earlier HN comment.

> And even today, you can safely write printf("hello // world\n"); without risking a compile error, right?

Right. But it is not clear what this has got to do with my concern that nested comments would break valid C89 programs. In this printf() example, we only have an ordinary string, so obviously this compiles fine. Once the lexer has read the opening quotation mark as the beginning of a string, it looks for an unescaped terminating quotation mark. So clearly, everything until the unescaped terminating quotation mark is a string!
USB-C adoption will take time.

I can imagine a day, 10 years from now, when I only carry an IEC power cable,a 2-prong power cable, a Cat 7, 8, or 9 Ethernet cable,a HDMI cable with a couple of adapters, and a few USB-C cables.

If we keep improving USB-C cables like we have Cat cables, and keep them at 28 V, 5 A power delivery, with power meters on at least one connector, I'll be happy.

Quite honestly, as long as the UX is _actually_ improving, I'm completely fine with having to adapt. I don't want to live in a world where things stay the same just because it's comfortable.

Having said that, at least 50% of the time that people change the experience, it makes it worst. So I agree that for companies that don't know how to design interfaces, this is maybe a benefit.
Intel seems like it would benefit with an Elon Musk type of character in charge. Cut out the needless layers of management and go hard core engineering.

Learning to type properly. Even if you can bump up your typing speed 10 wpm. Over the life time of a software engineer it's worth it.
Our milking robot has a resistive touchscreen. In that case it's excellent - you can spray it clean, and it still works while it's wet.
Buybacks aren't exactly like dividends because they directly affect the pricing of the stock by interfering with the supply and demand. That said I think people are mostly angry about the conflict of interest where CEOs that have current and future shares are making decisions by what will maximize their personal returns rather than what's best for the company and shareholders.

When a company with growth prospects does well it should invest those $$$'s into things like R&D and expansion. Companies that pay their profit as dividend are generally not expected to grow as much and their stock prices (P/E) tends to reflect that.

That said the taxation aspect is maybe a problem and should be addressed if it's not working as intended.

Do yourself a favor.

Get a cable tester.

Test every cable and cut up/throw away the ones you do not love.

Then order more really good ones than you can justify and keep them handy.
If this were any other market, you might have a point but this is tech. The Tech sector is not correlated with changes in interest rates. It has a long history of not being correlated with interest rates (20+ years).

Do note that each one of your news outlets which you linked are members of the trusted news initiative, and effectively state run media (a cabal).

Please do your own diligence by looking at the actual data and stop pushing false rhetoric coming from an echo chamber. Accepting false information as true is by definition delusional.

It appears you have fallen for their propaganda, or otherwise have a vested interest in promoting such.

The US economy is not extremely healthy, it isn't healthy at all. By most metrics late 2022 showed growing warning signs of stagflation. The layoffs in 2023 solidified that, and layoffs continued unabated.

The abandonment of the petrodollar will guarantee inflation remains high despite high interest rates, and when they have to cut those interest rates because of deflation, hyper-inflation will surge. These distortions are the consequence of economic calculation problem in action (Mises).

BofA is on shaky ground, they will likely be the next large bank to fail. Shortages have been persistent in non-discretionary goods since August.

All of these signs are warning signs of economic collapse or as people have come to call it the hard landing. You can't print money indefinitely out of nothing and expect there won't be any consequence from that, the dire consequences we will be living through is what all those people warned about when the sound dollar policy for monetary policy was discarded.

A lot of data references models from economist's, but most economists have and continue to be wrong in their conclusions. Economies are limited visibility n-body systems, there are islands of regularity, and statistics isn't sufficiently developed to say anything about systems that have a mixture of regularity and chaos or correct for those.
Intel stopped buybacks a few years ago, and are now stopping dividends.
It is really gorgeously written Haskell. I’ve only dabbled in Haskell, but you’re really shetting my appetite for digging in deeper.
You mean like actual voter representation, instead?

They're not trading anything, the compact is one where all participating states agree that the only fair election is one where the candidate with the most votes should win, and so all of them have agreed that their electors will vote for the candidate who wins the most votes at the national level, regardless of what the local result is.

As it should be, for a national vote.
Idea:
- Local data so I can access my CL without network.
- Templates. Start CL from predefined template.
- History. Which templates completed when.
- Hierarchical items.
- Share or export/import.
- Logic engine. Some items might not be relevant in some scenarios.
Finally, also note that an LCD screen is not needed at all in the driver's console. Analog indicators for speed, rpms and simple lights are just fine. What I would really really like to have on all vehicles is an error LCD screen that describes with full and clear details any type of malfunction. We're still stuck with error codes but hey we give owners all these fancy and unnecessary digital toys and when a problem araises we need to plug a scanner to decode what's going on with our vehicles.
> Buybacks are just dividends with better tax implications that somehow make people angry.

Yeah, buybacks are the new boogieman. Let me decide when to take the tax hit on an investment and not be forced.

Well does one write ISO C, GCC C, clang C, AIX C, xyz C?

It is the same issue as well.
This sounds like a productive solution, per my reply to @tmn:

> My understanding is that employers already do pay to post on LI, indeed, etc. It simply works out that paying for ghost jobs is worth it, so the enforcement mechanism needs to be a ban/other thing that doesn't rely on pricing

I didn’t realize the LI, indeed, etc. Sites were charging per-head. Could this website be as simple as “an Indeed that charges employers per-month, to disincentivize ghost postings”?

I think the chicken-and-egg problem is a bigger deal than the dating-app problem; while it’s true the best candidates find jobs quickly, they don’t necessarily stop looking. That said if there’s no postings by employers then you’re dead in the water. How could the first 10 employers be recruited?
Good idea. It's simple to track this. What idle duration limit makes sense for deletion?
?? Some people do agree that the Electoral College system was more suited for a previous time where the States were more disjointed and the federal government wanted to entice each state to participate in the system by giving the smaller states more power. In modern day, a system that's closer to people's actual votes makes more sense to some people. This simply allows changing from Electoral College where a candidate can win despite having less votes than another candidate, to a more true first-past-the-post.

Of course, I think ranked choice voting is much much better but I don't think it's fair to make this sound like some secret nefarious conspiracy. It's also not apparently related to the article
The constant 5 Nm torque is probably to prevent backlash in the driveline when setting off. Best to keep all the gears, shafts etc under a slight preload so they don't "clunk" when you start accelerating. Much easier on the components, and better comfort.
Most open source projects are the work of one developer with occasional outside contributions. Those can still be distributed by CD or USB stick, either directly by mail or the more traditional route of magazines having CDs with collections of software their subscribers might like. Or a modern version of people meeting up to exchange files peer-to-peer. If you want to contribute, write a patch and send it back to the developer, e.g. by snail mail.

Large open source projects would be much more difficult. Though some of them are already either largely done by one company (so people can meet in person) or very hierarchical (like Linux).
> The Python standard library manual is also exemplary

Maybe parts of it are, but as a concrete example https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#re.match is just some YOLO about what, specifically, is the first argument to re.match: string, or compiled expression? Well, it's both! Huzzah! I guess they get points for consistency because the first argument to re.compile is also "both"

But, any idea what type re.compile returns? cause https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#re.compile is all "don't you worry about it" versus its re.match friend who goes out of their way to state that it is an re.Match object

Would it have been so hard to actually state it, versus requiring someone to invoke type() to get <class 're.Pattern'>?
I dunno, AIs are kinda a mirror of our current society. Instead of trying to fix AIs or making laws about intersectionality in hiring processes, it could be worthwhile to look into the reasons for this outcome and try to fix them first.

Unlike Twitter, fabs actually do need a large number of employees.

I'll second a good IDE. I have nothing against code editors but I don't understand the point of having tons of different tools/extensions when a good IDE will have all of that included.

I love code editors for scripts and light projects... but I can't imagine trying to work on larger ones without an IDE.
I thought so too at first, but in hindsight this is a bad take.

Pinch-to-zoom was revolutionary for people with low vision. VoiceOver was revolutionary for people with no vision. Blind people ended up being early adopters of iPhones because of how much better the UX is compared to phones with physical controls, where memorization of the controls and menus is much more necessary.

The flexibility of UI enabled by touchscreens was revolutionary for people with dexterity and cognitive issues. See the Assistive Access feature, for example, which has made Jitterbug phones obsolete for many people.

Touchscreens not responding to dry skin is a real problem, though I’ve only ever seen that on cheap hardware. Testing the device is obviously necessary.

I still want physical controls for simple and common cases, such as the vents in my car. But I now think of them more in terms of convenience and safety rather than accessibility.

In theory, yes, she can re-register at her polling place But that isn’t real-time - it’s a provisional ballot that gets certified later.

The Constitution gives the states complete control over how they use their electors. If they want to say "we will give them to the popular vote winner if enough states will do the same such that the popular vote winner wins" then that is completely within their power.

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

> If AMD can be turned around, why can't Intel, a much larger company with more diverse product lines (not as many as previous, but still).

Because AMD is fabless and Intel isn't. The latter is spending huge amounts of money to increase their fab capacity, and have positioned themselves to succeed only if they can get external Foundry customers.

If Intel split into two companies, then yes, your point is valid for the fabless portion. But it would also mean the fab portion would die almost immediately (they currently are operating on a loss) - they need both the US bailout and the fabless revenue to survive.

I'm almost 40, some years ago I noticed that at winter I get more frustrated with my phones and start thinking of changing them.

It turned out each winter I make screens much more dirty and my fingers are drier. Touch gets more random, fingerprint readers success rate drops from 100% to more like 50%.

Nowadays I make sure I clean the screen with actual dedicated products often, and make sure I keep hands moisturized. It works well, even if the latter contributes to the former.

Haven't changed phone in over 2 years and still don't feel the need for change :)

The cloth receptacle is being compressed like a spring.

It seems like when the robot thought the object was put away (or some safety feedback mechanism of receiving too much force feedback activates), it "relaxes" its actuators and goes limp, say.

Then the stored force from the spring is released. What we're seeing with the jump is the robot rebalancing itself in order to remain upright.
