Big Tech’s Anti-Labor Playbook Has Come for Wikipedia

TLDR: In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers. Wikipedia’s editors are now threatening to strike in solidarity. The Foundation is sitting on $296 million in reserves and a freshly profitable AI revenue stream. This is a confrontation with global implications.

It has been suggested elsewhere that if you are a Wiki Foundation donor, it would be a good idea to email and explain that this kind of behaviour will lead to you withholding future donations.

there's also the rule of five that says that if you need a non default destructor, you have to also define a copy, copy-assignment, move and move-assignment constructors as well.

let me tell you, it fits the context

Help me settle a debate. A common error made by amateur programmers is to attempt to iterate backward through an array by doing something like this:

size_t is unsigned, so this loop will never terminate. Here's my question:

Which of the following (see image below) "corrected" alternatives is best?

1, use the signed ptrdiff_t instead of size_t

2, use the signed ssize_t instead of size_t

3, use ckd_sub to decrement until i goes below 0 (branch on CF)

4, compare against 0, then decrement at the top of the loop

5, compare against 0, then decrement at the top of the loop (but more explicit)

i answered 5 because by the time i got to it i forgot about 2

cyberpriestess

i kinda hate all of these but 2 at least seems sensible. cooked up some slightly bastard C alternatives bc i can't help myself

u could probably do pre-decrement in the goto version if u set i = size, saving on the additional printf. just wanted an excuse 2 use post-dec indexing tbh.

sure someone smarter than i am can come up w/ a truly cursed option, but honestly i'd actually use either the ssize_t version (#2 in original), my delta (#6), or my 2nd while loop (#8)

yiffos-official

looking through the notes i definitely got bamboozled learning that ssize_t isn't signed size_t, i think the answer is ptrdiff_t

i have done some evil things to pointers in c though, it is very fun to do

yakcyll

ssize_t is supposed to hold counts of bytes or an indication of error; sys/types.h mentions a range of values [-1, SSIZE_MAX]. that makes it suitable for reverse iteration. in practice it is usually defined as a typedef for a signed integer type.

although yeah i also thought its just a signed size_t, apparently not necessarily.

also theres the sixth sensible option which is iterate from 0 to size and index [size - idx - 1], which leaves no space for ambiguity. (actually already included on a picture in the chain)
