Particulate count is the least of your worries when it comes to cigarette smoke. The tar, acetone, cadmium, carbon monoxide, etc etc etc is going to do a lot more damage. Do you have any evidence that indoor wood fires are more damaging tha

Surely you know how ridiculous that comparison is. Second hand smoke kills, second hand food does not. You need to eat to be healthy, you do not need to smoke to be healthy. Not eating in front of children is more likely to give them dietar

Can you give an example of syntactic sugar in a modern language that makes order of operations a non-issue?

Nope, I work on a team. I guess we all have similar instincts about what is readable.

What is with the gay sailor condom ad? You're being completely ridiculous. I'm glad you enjoy Forth so much, I guess. I'm sure postfix will catch on any day now.

I don't think you really understand what POSIX is. POSIX is an IEEE standard (example [1]). POSIX defines the Operating System API. You can see the C implementation of this API here[2]. > so any C application that is more than a toy

"abhorrent" is much much stronger than "suboptimal for socialization skills". Besides, every other country in the world gets to have its own cultural identity. The "real world" is very much a collection of mono

Why? Why does skin color == culture, and why is "mono-culture" abhorrent? Personally, I find treating people like trading cards and trying to "collect them all" is much more abhorrent.

POSIX is an OS API. You're complaining that C interacts with the operating system to do useful work? What language do you use that can do useful work without interacting with the OS?

Just use parentheses if you're doing many operations on one line? This is common sense in any programming language. I've been programming in C for years and never had an issue with operator precedence.

The point is about innovation. Maybe you think the original nonbinding agreement had a threat of force behind it, but it had no immediate consequences if manufacturers changed ports. Manufacturers were allowed to upgrade to new ports . And

The only thing matching the Model 3's drivetrain specs (350+ miles, sub 4s 0-60, AWD) is the lucid air, which is more expensive and not in production yet. The mercedes EQS matches the range, but is much slower (and more expensive). Eve

I agree that Hyundai is killing it, and I will seriously consider the ioniq 6 when it is available. However, I don't think you can discount Tesla here. They produce ~ 5x more model 3's than Hyundai can produce ioniq 5's. And

Being supply constrained during a period of rapid growth is the opposite of a warning light. They build new factories and pump out more and more cars each year. People are still scrambling to buy their product.

But, crucially, they were able to effortlessly move to a better connector when one came along. They were not legally forced to stick with Micro-B. Now they are legally stuck with USB-C indefinitely.

According to your link, compliance was voluntary. Its in the second sentence.
738.
by dahfizz 4y ago
This is incorrect. It was a voluntary standard signed on by a non-binding MoU. All Manufacturers were free to "break" the agreement when moving to USB-C. Now they are stuck on USB-C until a new law is written.

This is not correct. Phone manufacturers signed a non-binding MoU, agreeing to use Micro USB. This was completely voluntary. That is why they were able to upgrade to USB-C without any issue. This law is different. It would be illegal to upg

The EU created a technical standard (which basically just says, "use USB Micro-B"). Phone manufacturers voluntarily signed a Memorandum of Understanding, stating that they all agreed to abide by the standard. None of it was bind

by dahfizz 4y ago
Curious that the "or else" stage doesn't actually enforce the micro-B connector of the original MoU. If that original legislation was binding, we likely never would have gotten USB-C in the first place.

by dahfizz 4y ago
No, it's really not. The EPS was a voluntary specification[1]. It was a memorandum of understanding signed by the manufacturers. Basically, everyone but Apple agreed that it was in their own best interest to align to micro-B. This is

by dahfizz 4y ago
Very informative, thanks!
744.
by dahfizz 4y ago
Because that wasn't legislation. It was literally the EU asking phone manufacturers to please use micro-B. This is something different.

by dahfizz 4y ago
For reference on how quickly the EU moves on these things, USB-C is over 8 years old. It has been ubiquitous for years before this legislation came down. They aren't exactly staying on top of new tech. Also consider: USB-D is going to

Is this just mandating the physical plug? USB-C has a near infinite number of power delivery and/or data modes. Not to mention thunderbolt, display port, etc which are totally different protocols running on the same physical cable as U
