Volume 4B of Donald Knuth's classic The Art of Computer Programming
I am a K&R person myself. Short and to the point with everything you need to create memory leaks and pointers that go boom. Which XBox? I've been thinking of getting one even though I've never gamed a day in my life for more than an hour. I can get one out of the Microsoft Company Store at fairly reasonable price. On the other hand maybe I should unpack the KitchenAid mixer I bought 3 years ago before doing that.

Aaand . . . the winner is . . . Wednesday! Morning, all. As usual, I'm up early to work out and not super hot to go do it. Stirling the Great Black Beast (once a kitten, now a mini-panther) is trotting around. He really likes human company. When and if the weather ever gets cold here, and when I move to a climate with winter, I figure I will get up, pour a cup of coffee, slip back under the covers and sit up against the headboard, and drink my juice (with care) while Stirling nuzzles me.

Cat stories cont.: Little Dagny the Siberian kitten is over at Linda's. Stirling, she says, is still being aggressive toward the kitten -- not in a "I want to kill you" way, but more playing roughly and harassing her, 'Let me stand next to your fire," etc. I guess this is going to continue until I have her spayed.
I'm proud that Stirling hasn't lost all his drive since his snip, but I'd have thought he wouldn't have been so, uh, "attentive" unless she was in heat. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, dreaming of Elsewhere at October 05, 2022 04:17 AM (c6xtn) 10
For those out of the loop, that's Volume 4B of Donald Knuth's classic The Art of Computer Programming.

Threatening to move to Canada
Ahh, the final stage of grief -- running to Canada. Those ARS people need mental counseling, or a swift kick to the nads. I know which one I'm leaning towards. Posted by: GnuBreed at October 05, 2022 04:23 AM (JOtiF) 13
From Ars: I will quit twitter if this freeze peach maximalist buys it. A private platform that allows hate speech is a private platform that promotes hate speech. Plus, he'll reinstate that idiot traitor Trump and the silence of not hearing the news report his *every* tweet is golden - Tin Coyote, Smack Fu Master.
I'm disappointed Tin Coyote didn't call Trump a Nazi and didn't leave a forwarding address in Canada. Solid C++ for effort though. To celebrate I tweeted this: "To the Ars Technica commenters that are threatening to move to Canada when this deal closes I say this. Musk rules, Twitter management drools and I'm moving back to the USA from Canada." . Posted by: Lost In Space at October 05, 2022 04:23 AM (6Is04) Posted by: m at October 05, 2022 04:26 AM (1vmZ4) 15

I still find it fascinating that EU is passing laws to make sure all laptops are chargeable in a particular way. Why the hell are they getting involved in that? What vital issue is being addressed by this legislation. That feels to me like passing a law saying what color choices are available on cars. Ok, why the hell do you need a law for that? The market should make it palatable for the company to do something like that if people want it.

I mentioned the other day Diocletian's attempts to control rampant inflation (remember this was 1600 years ago.) One thing he tried was going to a system of barter for dealing with the government. Another he tried was price controls. Sound familiar? Everyone ignored it, but he still tried to set price controls... for every single thing bought and sold in the empire. And it did not a damn thing.
So I find it hilarious reading the statement from whoever it was saying that trying to control inflation by using interest rates was 'archaic thinking' but that we needed to institute price controls because that was 'new' thinking and would work!

Linked at Insty:
ANY EFFORT AT TOTAL CONTROL OF INFORMATION IS AN EFFORT AT TOTALITARIANISM: When few control the flow of information, we all suffer. Quote for you: As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. That is from one of the greatest games of all time: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. 1997, iirc. I first heard that quote while playing the game 25 years ago. It always stuck with me because it rang with the pure tone of Truth. Posted by: Aetius451AD at October 05, 2022 05:45 AM (dNqv+) 40
Price controls never work. Gasoline might be 6 bucks a gallon in Cali, but you can get it, if some wanker tries to decree a price cap, the official price will be just that. The official price - that nobody has any to sell at that price.

To be honest, I was amazed that they were able to keep a lid on relative price increases for as they did. Inflation has been bad for a long time - this "2% target rate" has been a joke due to all the financial jiggery-pokery in the way it is measured. Sooner or later though reality intrudes. Wally World has some good prices on things, but it is spotty on the quality at times. Our local store has much better beef. But they want $3.69 for a can of chicken. Yeesh

Price controls in the 70's worked like this : 2Lb can of coffee $3.00, a month later a 2lb "can" only had 28 ounces of coffee $3.00. Pair of shoes $25.00, put a buckle on the same pair they come a NEW product selling for $27.00. There is always a way to regulate the cost increase of an item. If you add in wage controls the consumer really gets screwed.

I cleaned out a very limited electronic junk box, found a couple chargers and adapters that will come in handy someday, and got rid of the rest. In there was a real cheap tablet and a cheap smart phone. A young guy in the next building, early twenties, and his little BIL, about 12, have an impromptu air gun range behind the building.

It's a legitimate question. Quantum computers are weird. Some of them are getting good enough to solve real problems, but there's an ongoing argument about whether the ones that actually work are truly quantum, and whether the ones that are truly quantum actually work.

You must be queer, or some kind of incel. And how many young women grew up with every one telling them that if they don't put out, they must be a dyke?
The nasty high-school bully mindset of defining people by who they screw has been blown into an entire worldview. Posted by: Warai-otoko at October 05, 2022 07:02 AM (6FeV1) 95
It's a legitimate question. Quantum computers are weird. Some of them are getting good enough to solve real problems, but there's an ongoing argument about whether the ones that actually work are truly quantum, and whether the ones that are truly quantum actually work.

Antone heard from former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder recently? After leaving office he went to work for Gazprom pushing the Nordstream lines. He's backed Putin since. Now that Germany looks like it's going to hell this winter, no enterprising journalist has thought to ask him about the situation.

Amazon is shuttering down "GameSparks", a gaming backend used to provide online capabilities. About five years ago, they scooped it up. In less than two months, it will provide zero online capabilities. Anything relying on it will be broken.
Not too long ago, Google was shutting down the Stadia, a streaming web-only console. Before that, the Ouya console broke because they took down a web server needed as kind of a DRM. Both will now be expensive paperweights. Cloud gaming is the future. As the above show, the future will simply cease to exist. Posted by: Another Anon at October 05, 2022 07:21 AM (sy/OZ) 121

Posted by: Aetius451AD Work Laptop at October 05, 2022 07:24 AM (CwQXo) A couple years back, SiL had made up in her mind that I had pushed her when attempting to care for my oldest after a fall, when she first rushed in to try to mother him. That's her thing. Supermom, with a victim complex that everyone is attacking her mothering skills. Long story. Problem for her is that there were at least four witnesses. She had convinced herself in an instant to justify her outrage that I was "attacking" her mothering that I had physically attacked her. It was quite bizarre. There are lots of these types out there.

I had no idea Donald Knuth was still alive. Best wishes for many more years of good, productive health.
That being said, I *loathe* TeX. I can understand why Knuth made it, back in the 1960s, when the publishing of math textbooks was extremely difficult and expensive; but the language and its macros are a horror. TeX makes troff look like a model of elegant simplicity. I cannot understand why anyone who doesn't have to maintain existing code would use it. Knuth is a genius, but, as the ancients said, "Even Homer nods." Posted by: Nemo at October 05, 2022 11:01 AM (S6ArX) 168
I have a Lenovo laptop that charges thru a C port and came with a c port charger. The C port has now failed twice. The first time I sent it back to Lenovo to be repaired. They didn't repair it, they sent me a new one so I had to reload all my software. Incompetent idiots. The thing had a secondary ordinary pin type charging port so I bought a pin charger, from Lenovo, at a stupid price, but at least I can use it. It's crap for a host of other reasons, but nothing relevant to this topic.

On the USC-C recharge front, I discovered while on vacation that I could charge my small laptop from a USB-C if-and-only-if it was at least 30 watts. This was much faster than waiting for Amazon to deliver a backup power supply. I'm not sure that a 240 watts USB-C power supply would weight any less than my current power supply brick, but at least the proliferation of unique power connectors will die. Standard 9-volt power supply my butt!
