Great start. If you can manage to do comments as well, I'd be in heaven.
It wouldn't affect the copy-on-write optimization or exec(), it just causes fork() to return an error earlier. 'vm.overcommit_memory = 2' attempts to guarantee that after a fork, all of the copy-on-write-pages can still be dirtied (i.e. causing a copy) without the system running out of RAM.

Nim does not have the memory safety without garbage collection features of Rust. If you want memory safety in Nim, you have to use the garbage collector (which, last I looked, is not thread safe either, although I see that Boehm is now an option).

It's easy to write (a) an unsafe language that has no GC, or (b) a safe language that relies on GC for safety. It's also easy to write a language that is in category (b) but lets you drop down to category (a) in an unsafe dialect. It's a very difficult problem to write a safe language that does not rely on GC, and I know of no other industry language that has done it. Unfortunately, people often lump Rust into categories (a) or (b), without realizing that what makes it interesting is that it isn't in either. Nim may be in category (b) (if the thread safety issues in the GC have been solved, or you use Boehm, or your app is solely single-threaded) with the ability to drop down to category (a), but it is not in Rust's category.

How do the kids learn to socialize? Facebook or Facetime only? Don't say the parents have to organize this (see below for my current experience).

And for those of us with really young kids, this work from home may be great an all, but its really hard to work and tend to a very young one's education/attention.
Even that's hard to nail down, because their cost to revenue isn't 1:1.

Their cost renting a space was fixed. Their revenue renting it out was variable.

If they simply couldn't rent out enough of the space to be profitable, that's not scandalous. That's just the risk you take in any business.

But if they were renting out the space at rates that could never become profitable, then it is scandalous, because they're burning money by design.
In my opinion this question seems like a good reason to get your feet wet just a bit. Just gaining some understanding of how things work under the hood is worth it even if you end up never using it professionally.

The basics of operating a (virtual) server to run your apps on could be seen as similar to learning the basics of cooking food. You can eat fairly well for the rest of your life without knowing a thing about it but if you just spend a single hour every week preparing your own food, you will become more familiar with the food itself. You would larn what individual flavors you prefer and where they come from, and you'll even be able to survive on less money if you would need to, or even survive more easily in a potential crisis where home delivery isn't an option.

If you spend an hour every week to learn some system administration (what people call "ops" nowadays) you'll be able to realize when you're being overcharged for simple services, feel the power of building a larger part of your stack yourself, play with new things, etc. Running multiple apps on a single host with proper backups is a trivial problem, especially if you know how to code, and in my opinion these things shouldn't be "left to the devops team" or seen as "IT stuff".

Not that long ago most developers had to know what environment their software ran in as part of their job, and despite many attempts to move away from it, this is still mostly true even if we have switched from the Linux CLI to cloud dashboards, CI/CD pipelines and Terraform scripts...
That’s not quite what “supply-side economics” means. From Wikipedia[1]

> Supply-side economics is a macroeconomic theory that postulates economic growth can be most effectively fostered by lowering taxes, decreasing regulation, and allowing free trade. According to supply-side economics, consumers will benefit from greater supplies of goods and services at lower prices, and employment will increase.

Cf. Demand-side economics[2]:

> Demand-side economics is a term used to describe the position that economic growth and full employment are most effectively created by high demand for products and services. According to demand-side economics, output is determined by effective demand. High consumer spending leads to business expansion, resulting in greater employment opportunities. Higher levels of employment create a multiplier effect that further stimulates aggregate demand, leading to greater economic growth.

> Proponents of demand-side economics argue that tax breaks for the wealthy produce little, if any, economic benefit because most of the additional money is not spent on goods or services but is reinvested in an economy with low demand (which makes speculative bubbles likely). Instead, they argue increased governmental spending will help to grow the economy by spurring additional employment opportunities. They cite the lessons of the Great Depression of the 1930s as evidence that increased governmental spending spurs growth.

So curious to see what happens to salaries, and where people live, if WFH is common in many sectors. Will salaries go up or down on average if employers must compete nationally to find good employees? Will people flee high cost of living areas? Anyone know of good data regarding this?
I haven't seen much overt rudeness like what you're describing, but it does mystify me how often I'll meet with another company to discuss a potential integration story that benefits us both, and instead of any engineers who can discuss technical considerations, they send multiple product managers who all want to present their own slide deck about why they're so great.

I know you're great - that's why we requested this meeting. I think we're great too. There's a reason I think our integration would be a win-win and a win for users. Can we actually talk about it now? Oh let's schedule another meeting so the fourth product manager who didn't show up for this one can share their slide deck too.

We serve one of the largest sites on the internet (top 2,000 last time that alexa's top sites worked, 25k requests per minute) with Django and a tiny web server budget (~$1k/mo). We serve mostly static files, but all requests hit Django at least 2-3 times. If it works for us, it will work for you :)
Can you summarize here?
I'm no designer but that yellow color used on the site is not easy to read.
My assumptions regarding where the term "the 1%" came from aside, it seems to me that it's fairly useless for exactly this reason. If you want to talk about people whose means significantly exceed the vast majority of others, a smaller proportion is almost certainly in order (without, as another comment mentions, a PPP adjustment or something similar).
The image and number comes from the Credit Suisse report[1]. Inside of it, they describe their methodology, which explains the discrepancy.

Common libraries in C could easily be used via FFI in most languages; they generally aren't because different languages have different paradigms (you might even say that's their purpose), and translations from one language's idioms into another are always lossy.

Besides, users of a library in language X don't want to have to read language Y to look under the hood.
I believe those Chinese billionaires are counted in the USA, UK, Canada columns due to most of their assets being hidden overseas.

They're partly the reason why the Canadian number is so high.
Keep in mind that a developer being paid $100K gross actually costs the company way, way more. Health insurance and other benefits, cost of office space, electricity, transportation, and so on. It varies greatly between companies and countries, but it's not unusual to have "man year" cost 2x more than what is actually being paid as direct salary to the employee.
Do you mean beyond what is described here?
http://allthingsd.com/about/walt-mossberg/ethics/

I know it can be tough to hear that the new GoogleTV might not be complex or unfriendly to use (both are true if you have used one), but the AllthingsD staff disclaimers are really good. They are prominent and not mired in legal-speak unlike some other high profile "main-stream media" like Newsweek. In which, I still don't understand how Dan Lyons gets away with not stating FSJ site. Read Kara Swisher's again, is there any blogger or old media columnist that has anything that clear?
That’ll look like a good case for UBI if we go down that route of leaner businesses. Also given that a reduction in consumption was needed short term for climate it might have indirect middle long term positive effects.

Key disclosure laws fall into this same category. It doesn't matter if you use full-disk encryption - you have to turn over the keys when asked else you face imprisonment. TrueCrypt's plausible deniability feature was really helpful; I wish dm-crypt has something like this.

> 1 & 2 are a basic feature of JS MVC frameworks. I get that some people still probably mess this up, but there's no excuse to do so at this point.

I'm not sure what it would even mean for this to not be broken in a one-page app. If you're displaying more than one conceptually grouped set of content on one page, you're breaking the web's concept of a page: a page is one conceptually grouped set of content. JS MVC frameworks allow you to back and forward between "pages" within a page using the hashed href trick, but they can't keep your scroll location without rendering the page to determine layout, unless there's some magic I'm not aware of.

> 3. Irrelevant/FUD? No normal user 'saves' web-pages, unless it's something like a receipt, which any sane dev would make a separate html page and not part of the app.

I love when people tell me that nobody does what I do all the time. And it's not just me: a lot of people save pages for later reading, especially in academia.

> 4. is totally false as screen-readers support JavaScript.

Yes, screen readers support JavaScript, but JavaScript rarely supports screen readers. It's clear you've never actually attempted to browse the web using a screen reader.

> 5. is false/strawman as any half-sane SPA developer still authenticates using a regular back-end framework and I've no idea what 'If you app loads content from a server that isn't yours' has to do with single-page apps.

JavaScript security is a fucking joke. I'm not sure what you think authentication does when your JavaScript is running in the same namespace as all the other JavaScript in a page and malicious code needs simply to tell authenticated code what to do to spoof an identity. A server can do nothing to provide security when the requests from a browser are coming from an authenticated user (but are actually made by malicious JavaScript in the page).

Plenty of apps include advertisements from arbitrary sources, hence loading content from a server that isn't yours.
A paper came out that explains this effect and a method of minimizing it: http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.6572

Basically neural networks and many other machine learning methods are highly linear and continuous. So changing an input just slightly should change the output just slightly. If you change all of the inputs slightly in just the right directions, you can manipulate the output arbitrarily.

These images are highly optimized for this effect and unlikely to occur by random chance. Adding random noise to images doesn't seem to cause it, because for every pixel changed in the right direction, another is changed in the wrong direction.

The researchers found a quick method of generating these images, and found that training on them improved the net a lot. Not just on the adversarial examples.
Complete with semi-realistic requirements that people complain about nowadays.

In the sense that Emacs-alike's, like vi(m) have been ported to pretty much every OS in existence. It's not necessarily installed, but one will be available.

And Nano is only an option for me to escape the horror of vi if I for some reason can't install an emacs-like.
Wot? The whole point of vim is that it is 100% customizable and non opinionated about what keys do what. The default mapping are what they are...but they really expect you to remap most of them even if you are a right hander.
I don't know. I did a subpoena to Verizon once for a guy accused of murder who I knew was innocent. There's a long story about how the guy didn't want to admit to police he wasn't at the scene of the crime because it would have to out him as having a gay lover, which he was worried about. He'd been in jail for 6 years at this point. I said we should subpoena his cell tower records to prove he was away from the scene, and we did, but Verizon came back and said they deleted them after 5 years.

tl;dr: they do delete them, but Verizon said it has a 5 year retention

Hmm. Re: chipset firmware, the GPS chip and the cellular modem are typically separate and not directly connected, right? So doesn’t that mean there is necessarily something in the main phone software that’s handling passing GPS data from the gps to the modem chip on-demand from the modem firmware?

How rich does a country have to be, then, in order to be able to "burn money on CERN"? What is the "acceptable threshold" of poverty, healthcare coverage, civil liberties, and so forth at which a country can decide to divert money towards investing in science instead of solving these problems?

>Hardly comparable.

Both are about laws being in conflict with basic humanitarian principles.

>One is about freeing your own people then other about having to use your resources to those who you did not extend permission to come.

in the first case there is a loss of resource too - cheap slave labor - which was the primary reason driving anti-abolition. So both cases mean short-term economical loss in the name of the humanitarian principles (resulting in economical gain long-term).
It's not rude to interact with a person in public. As long as he didn't harass, and he respected the women's choice if they didn't want to talk, there's no harm done.

Many friends of mine have met their significant others through spontaneous interactions like this. It's not as uncommon as you'd think.

Why couldn't he get phone numbers from unattractive girls, or boys?

Are you serious? This is rather insulting to so-called "unattractive" girls.
Since its a public health problem, I would expect that, were it adopted as a priority, that the incentive would be in the public funds allocated to grants for vaccine R&D, and (for existing Big Pharma firms) to avoid being left without a chair when the current gravy train ends (apologies for the mixed metaphors) when better vaccines are deployed.
> There is nothing in the field of psychology with better support than IQ.

This is not true. See Wikipedia[0][1][2].

IQ actually holds little support, compared with (e.g.) bilateral sound recognition, or somatotopic arrangement on the postcentral gyrus. (Among psychologists, that is; IQ probably has more support amongst the general population, because it's pop-pseudoscience.)

Looking at Tractatus logico-philosophicus, I'm reminded of Ayn Rand's Objectivism - another attempt to derive a philosophy from axiomatic principles.

However, it's probably impossible to deductively derive something that lines up with reality, given how language itself is an imperfect medium for that.

It looks like Wittgenstein eventually points out the problems with the Tractatus in his later works like "The Philosophical Investigations"
Portable Lua is a great idea. By using Cosmopilitan does this also run on baremetal machines?

Not particularly having a horse in this race, if a theory can't reliably make useful predictions, it's not a very useful theory. There's certainly something to be said about identifying correlations, but it isn't yet clear to me whether we can draw inferences based on those correlations to make useful predictions.

In the SSC example, I wouldn't be especially shocked if there are no useful inferences in either direction, but rather a confounding variable that makes it more likely for SSC readers to answer MBTI answers in a particular way. MBTI itself wouldn't necessarily have a lot to say about this factor. (And given the intellectual, self-aware content of SSC, it seems pretty likely to me that this is the case.)
A shibboleth is a long established custom. I think the word you are looking for here is fetish, or aspiration.
I bought a couple capacitive touch 433Mhz light switches to use for a home automation system on AliExpress. Turns out they were very prone to detecting “ghost” touches and would sometimes end up stuck in the “touched” position forever, which would cause the same issue. Ended up binning them and going back to “push button” switches which are more reliable and are more likely to fail into the “off” position should they fail.
Is there anything like this, but for serial (ie. UART)?
Data-poisoning is an attractive approach (and one I've considered and occasionally practiced) but it does relatively little as a practical matter. @cyberlab posted some good links here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26286686

Cory Doctorow also addressed this in a recent Reddit AMA: https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/j444u4/how_to_dest...

From the harvesters' perspective, a long list of pattern-matching identifiers with no visible history anywhere else online ... will tend to get junked fairly readily. A small increase in undeliverable addresses from a swipe ... won't increase costs much.

Creating wholesale online personas (effectively: bots and troll farms writ large) might start posing a challenge, but those would still likely give off a strong signal of falseness due to lack of correlation with other identifiers, most notably devices of their own, credit cards or other payments data, other data-linked services (transit or toll passes, etc.).

Ultimately the question is why are you doing this and what do you hope to accomplish?

(Though I've salivated a few times contemplating a system that would stream endless bits as responses to cookie or similar requests, just for shins and grits.)

Any idea if another backend bank will pick up these accounts? Would be much easier to stay with Azlo while they sort out their banking partner vs having to completely transition everything.
The answer varies. For example, in the US, depending on what you are trying to accomplish it ranges somewhere among "half of the population", "that one guy at the FCC who writes the policy", and "1/3 of either house of Congress or 1/4 of the state legislatures", right?
