Yeah. If an app brings a high value to Apple with a low-nil chance of repercussions towards them, it has a very high chance of being approved for the app store. Quality or not.

This seems to be the most obvious solution, and is what solved the movie industry's greed back in the the studio system days. But, the industry will fight it tooth and nail, because they lose control and potential margins on it at the

When quality comes at the expense of pollutants, people measure their own priorities. The point is, you're welcome to shop for non-CA items, if they're legal in your region.

That's funny because when car manufacturers decided to do universal cars (versus the old California-edition/49-state cars), the whole country went up in arms about how CARB was costing them so much and how "Commiefornia"

It's regional and based on user likelihood to convert. So NA and parts of Euroland (particularly the anglophone regions) are being targeted most heavily right now. They avoided the blanket rollout specifically to alleviate exactly what

Yes, modern YouTube's infrastructure inherits more from Google Video than classic YouTube, but the frontend descends from YouTube's (albeit, completely Ship of Theseus'd at this point).

IT != "Tech jobs", one is a superset of the other. A good chunk of the entire "IT industry" is going to be tech support, computer repair, technical sales/analysts, etc. Not the kind of jobs you are thinking of when

YouTube was bought mainly because Google Video was failing as a platform. About the only thing it ever offered over YouTube were longform lectures and presentations. Combining the two platforms (e.g. allowing longer videos but using YouTu

It literally just rendered to a Canvas framebuffer. It's really not that crazy. I mean cool, yes....but it wasn't generating DOM elements/complex HTML or anything like you're trying to sell it as.

I wasn't giving a reason. I was saying the dying off of many of them correlates to being posted to HN. Whether that's because the exposure burns them out or because that was their primary goal or some other reason. I don'

Everytime I see interesting old projects like this, their last commit is around the time of their HN posting. It's like they're super motivated to create something specifically to post on HN, and that's it. Or, having people

Your definition of "random" is bespoke to you. Suffice to say, my original statement clearly matches what you seem to be getting at; whether you like the choice of words or not.

I mean, that was the point of: > it'll also give you something random should you go out of bounds. Are you just taking umbrage with the word I used? "random" clearly is meant to imply that the language makes no guarantees.

No, this is not undefined behavior. Aggregate types are the one aspect of the C "memory model" that is very well defined. The physical memory isn't necessarily contiguous, but the model of memory is . Which is the entire

I didn't say the transition was a bad one. I said that there was a decade or so of warts + growing pains as HTML and CSS grew to accommodate freeform block layouts. It wasn't until HTML5 + CSS3 that it was super usable, and until

Right, people seem to forget that table-based designs ruled the roost in the 90s and early 00s. All of the vertical align, layering, etc hacks came from people not wanting to use tables anymore and divs (and other block elements) finally be

Thus the quotes. As another responder says "well-rounded" is a better phrase, but either way the field is large and you'll always be learning in it.

C requires an OS to provide CRT and syscalls for it to function. So you're correct in that the memory model is more akin to "what the OS decides to offer you", with the singular guarantee that specific pieces of data will be

Memory is a term describing the the semi-permanent (permanent while it receives power) state of data as it exists in fast storage. If you try to access random areas of said memory, you will be sorely disappointed as the OS instead allocates

Memory (i.e. the totality of the machine's RAM) isn't, but the subsets allocated to you are. Iterating a pointer on an array certainly will give you the next item in said array; it'll also give you something random should you
