Women have such different lives. It's things like this that make it so painfully obvious why single men are isolated and alone in modern society.
The communal house scene in San Francisco isn't predominantly women.

Yeah, no matter how good the microphone actually is on a headset, it uses an ancient codec so until we get Bluetooth 5.3 everywhere with lc3 codex then we won't actually have good mic input from headphones and headsets. I predict that this is all going to change this year and next year. But the full stack has to support it from headphones to Bluetooth chips to OS.
Are AirPods limited to the Bluetooth spec though? I think they extend it.
You know… I'm grateful that they moved quickly and decisively to bridge businesses through that time. We'd all be worse off without this having happened. I'm willing to accept a certain amount of waste for the importance of speed.

Yes it will! That pattern matching is based on prior experience and if the entire makeup of candidates changes that'll cause people to pattern match differently. If old prejudices are taking a while to die out, it won't be long until someone smart realizes there's whole groups of qualified candidates who aren't getting the same offers as others and hires them
That's an efficient market theory, and it's extremely optimistic about how real people work.

Diversity in tech hiring never felt like the right end of the funnel. It’s why I went into teaching and I’m proud to say after what seems like a ridiculously short amount of time (“they grow up so fast” etc.) the girls from my classes are now entering the work force as SWE and ML interns. Not many, but more than none.
When we focus diversity efforts on high school kids then we get a turnaround at the funnel entrypoint in as little as only five years. Companies could be far more impactful here than any lone teacher could hope to be.
Mm. It’s certainly good to work at the other end of the funnel (thank you!) but it also won’t help address pattern matching that people do in hiring.
It’s an incredibly natural thing for people to hire people like themselves, or people they meet their image of what a top notch software dev looks like. It requires active effort to counteract this. One can definitely argue about the efficacy of DEI approaches, but I disagree that JUST increasing the strength of applicants will address the issue.

I don't think "you can implement this slightly modified version of the proposal in GCC macros" is a good reason to change the defer proposal. It doesn't work in clang¹ or any other non-GCC C implementation, a trailing semicolon after the close brace is an ugly wart, and saying "if you want to implement this all you have to do is implement [[gnu::cleanup]] and nested local functions" is presumably much more work for other C implementations than just implementing defer is. I also question whether this even works in GCC with executable stacks disabled (I know GCC can optimize away the trampoline since the function doesn't escape the local scope, but does GCC let you write nested functions at all without executable stacks?).
¹The author says it works in clang using Apple's Blocks feature, but Blocks should not be required for defer and the variable semantics are wrong so it's a non-starter.
I don't think they're advocating not doing defer in C? They're saying you can backport the functionality if needed, or if you want to start using it now.
I can't wait for house subscription
That’s called renting.
What does the law actually say? I followed three links the author provided to earlier posts without finding it.
They weren't just slowing down old phone's. They were maintaining battery life by throttling the CPU.
As far as I know they added a setting to turn that feature off. Not sure if that's on by default or not.
Avoiding having the phone shutdown by drawing power faster than an older battery can support, actually.
You can’t turn that off, but there’s now more communication that replacing the battery will make the phone faster.
