Each architecture has a "library" of these bizarrely named functions that are mapped by the compiler to CPU-specific instructions. I'd suggest 90%+ of C programmers couldn't name a single one of them, and that's fine, because they have no place in C outside of tight platform-specific optimization work, which very few people have a need for or mandate to actually work on

Note this works in both directions, in particular if you're a Yandex user (for example their free mail-for-domains service)

The presentation of your app is gorgeous, but I was unable to open the try pro free page on LineageOS (no Play Services installed). I was just curious about how monetization worked. It just shows an endless spinner, tried repeatedly and waited 30+ seconds

Just curious, how much time do you think you put into it in total? App / web

Also curious how you marketed it, if at all

I'm guessing the more likely option is that the trucker community become "conscientious objectors" and refuse to work, in the hope that their number will cripple services. Does sitting at home still count as terrorism? Because I'd happily fund that

They need it to maintain growth, otherwise punished ruthlessly by market and lost access to credit. That's not an optional spend

This guy is the financial equivalent of the old world street preacher wearing an "end of the world is nigh" placard. Grantham has been saying the same thing every year for as long as I've had interest in markets. He's considered a joke by the vast majority of the educated financial world

The game just moves elsewhere. There is always some new hotness with increasingly obscene forward growth expectations. Sell MSFT, buy SNOW. Sell SNOW, buy MDB. Sell MDB, buy PTON. Sell PTON, buy NET etc.

A lone wolf with $250m and no legal recourse is an attractive target for all kinds of folk

That was an extremely high risk change on GCP's part, reminds me of the App Engine days when you'd wake up to find a totally healthy program spamming 500s because they'd make a breaking change without any announcement. It's shocking they're still pulling stuff like this in 2022
