I was excited about termux until about 3 years ago, when I saw that the app needed to be compiled against an ancient Android API version. Google seems indifferent to bricking this project... Today it's still breaking Fdroid updates:

No, it's related. In programming, the only employment options are working for a government, for some corporation, or trying to sell directly to individuals?

Somebody who had worked for a recognizable tech company is far more hireable than somebody who is Self Employed or who has worked for the government.

But that's not prison labor. Prison labor specifically refers to penal labor. You receive no pay, because the labor is part of the punishment for the crime. It is the prisoner who is paying off his debt. In those cases, I don't think it is moral for private companies to make use of that labor for private gain. Penal labor should only be used for public benefit.

Here, we're talking about preparing someone for the job market when they leave. Hence, these are two separate concerns. You cannot substitute the former with the latter.

What is your ethical concern in this particular case. The remote work privileges seem to be setting him up for success after he leaves. The company he's working for doesn't seem to be unfairly exploiting his labor. This seems like a great success story for the Maine department of corrections. Who is being harmed here?

To me, it looks like a net benefit for the public, the department of corrections, and the inmate.

If you are worried about the inmate being allowed to build up savings that they can use when they are released, then that's on the judge. If the inmate has met their restitution obligations, then I don't have a problem with them being allowed to leave prison with savings that will enable them to get back on their feet again.

Sounds like Google Duplex, but I guess they never expanded the tech beyond restaurant reservations.

But on my Pixel now, on some phone trees it shows a UI with numbers and choices, and even predicts ahead for the other choices so you aren't forced to wait. Very handy!

When I was there the saying was that "V2 isn't ready yet and V1 n't as deprecated"

It's impressive the go team managed to buck the trend and only got to V2 after so many years.

Simple, you don't set any env vars after starting new threads

I wouldn't be surprised if they have been DDOS'ed in the past, and they're probably running on a tight budget

C still supports a huge variety of embedded processors, which I imagine influences the overflow UB. But clearing up the type semantics would be nice.

Are there any processors today which _don't_ use 2s complement?

I use embedded processors. I don't know of any that don't use 2s complement. There are only a handful of increasingly irreverent processors that are big endian. And x86 real mode processors are long in the tooth.

There other thing is the ratio of processing power vs memory size is very high for embedded machines. You have processors that can hold their own against a 486 but only have 16k of RAM. And the marginal cost of performance is low. A lot of devices spend most of their time doing utterly nothing.

And they could add deprecation warnings gradually

> since you can still always file your taxes for free

Are we talking about the free tax filing that the tax companies hid behind dark patterns?

I'm confident some of the privacy-protecting apps I use have irrevocable EULAs. But I've never seen one from a major corporation.
