If you want to be fair you also need to include all police detectives in the prosecution's headcount, as the police do not and will not assist public defenders in research or evidence gathering. They work only for the prosecution.

He's saying resources are spent on the worst performing students. For example, classroom time spent getting the lowest performing students to pass the (relatively low) bar set by statewide exams.
Nice thought. The problem is that turning your iPhone off is the easiest way to secure it quickly and completely. Whether it's an overbearing TSA agent or police pullover -- if you want your data to be secure (password protected vs fingerprint protected) you can always just turn off.

Anything iCloud-initiated does not benefit from the protection of the secure enclave on the device--so with your idea, you'd be opening a denial-of-privacy attack vector

This isn't true. Ruby uses native integers when possible and then switches to bignums when the integer gets big enough.

In my experience, Golang's Windows support is actually fairly poor. I think it is largely to do with the clunky interface that is CGo. I found Rust to be less "warty" by a large margin with good library support in a lot of areas. Your mileage may vary, of course.
And then what? Not use the iPhone ever again, because if you want to restore it, you have to logout of iTunes, which requires an internet connection?
No need. EPB fiber is already squarely in the black.

Graydon Hoare started what became Rust some time before 2009. Graydon came up with the name, inspired by the wheat mold, I believe. Rob Sayre and I got Rust sponsored as Graydon's day job by Mozilla in 2009, if memory serves.

I did a brief keynote at Mozilla's Whistler, BC all hands in 2010 proposing Servo, a new layout engine programmed in Rust. Servo was named by Dave Herman and me in honor of Tom Servo from MST3K. Rust was never "The Servo Project".
Has nothing to do with poor/rich districts. It's within each school. The teachers spend more time (aka more money) dealing with poor performing students rather than spending more time with the better students.
It is apparent who pays for reports or articles:

That’s also nonsense, unless you’re talking about extra staff time spent on imposing power/discipline on people who don’t want to be there. In which case, sure... but what else would you propose the schools do? (Also, this doesn’t tend to help the students being disciplined all that much, in my limited anecdotal experience as an outside observer.)

Some students get extra support because they have disabilities or need extra language instruction. This is not about poor performance, per se, but rather about giving extra support to specific groups of students who obviously need it. This usually relates to state/federal law.

But your run-of-the-mill poorly performing student is given woefully inadequate support by understaffed and underfunded schools, just like everyone else. The way to fix this problem is by improving teacher pay, giving teachers more time during the schoolday but outside the classroom for self improvement and collaboration, properly supplying schools and fixing their facilities, and giving teachers more local autonomy and less bullshit standardized tests.

The best performing students tend to get tracked into special classes (“honors”, “AP”, etc.), have more direct relationships with teachers, are members of school-organized extracurricular activities, and so on. They speak up more often in class, interact with other academically motivated students. Perhaps most importantly, they generally have more considerably more external support (family help from better educated parents with more free time, private tutoring, out-of-school music/art/sport/etc. training, and so on).
This is not what I experienced so far. I use Golang on both Linux and Windows (50/50) and I didn't have any problems. What are you referring to exactly?

Actually the MO Assembly tossed them $4.5 million in additional funds, specifically to hire more ad litems in child abuse cases (the attorneys appointed by the court to represent the child directly).

For some reason the governor's office has withheld $3.5 million of those funds (apparently that's a power the MO governor has?).
Did I say they were involved? Most likely they were clueless. I meant once the the decision makers of the movement are even slightly involved with this, people will blame it all. This is a natural reaction. Besides, on the flip side, movement has more serious `group think` issues than others.
This is completely anecdotal. I too was in Rome early this year and I haven't spotted a single one with a smashed window and we were all over town.
Thank you! I was really worried about the tone being too harsh or know-it-all. Wasn't really meant for audiences that weren't aware of the context. But as an emulator author, you get people presenting new zany latency reduction ideas that defy the laws of physics all the time, and they completely dismiss your own experience in the field, and it's like kids constantly saying, "are we there yet?" on a long car ride. Eventually you lose your cool, and then well ... you sound like me in that article >_>

> why bother polling the hardware at 1kHz? Is it a just-in-case solution to increase hardware polling to maximum?

Yes, pretty much. More of a because-we-can and to combat the cumulative effects of latency (death by a thousand papercuts) however possible. If you were to push it to 200Hz (5ms), then it becomes possible that your OS API returns states immediately after and it stacks with your emulator latency of 5ms to form a 10ms latency. Push it to 1000Hz and that drops to a 6ms maximum latency.

It is indeed silly. No one is going to perceive a worst-case 4ms difference. (And I say worst-case because these sorts of misses tend to average between best-case and worst-case, so in practice it's probably half that bad.)

We're trying to chase the emulation latency of a gamepad that you literally tell it exactly when to poll the inputs and within mere cycles on a 21MHz clock, start reading out the results from its shift-register.

> I'm also curious if there are any harder numbers available

That would be fun. I'll admit that many of the numbers are estimated. In the end, we can only observe the net total of all latency by pressing a button and seeing how quickly the sprites respond visually and aurally. But it's probably possible to isolate similar test cases for each source of latency. In a lot of cases (kernel audio mixing, keyboard responses), we're probably talking much smaller latencies than CRT vs LCD monitors, so you'd need a huge amount of precision.
The OP started asking about simple sites for non-technical people. Squarespace and Shopify are perfect for this, especially judging by their success.
How much is a persons browsing history going to be worth in the long run? I simply don't see how anyone can make money on knowing that I spend five hours a day on PornHub, two hours on Hacker News and 15 minutes on the Django documentation.

> How much of mathematical intelligence genetic or environmental? It seems to be at least a fair amount genetic.

That would be my guess too. For instance, in France, some of the most prestigious "schools" base their selections on maths. It's interesting to see some students that got all the possible help from their rich family (very best schools, tutors...) being totally outcompeted by kids that grew up in much less favored environment. With maths, it seems either you have it or you don't.
But two religious anti-republicans admittedly helped each other into government and supposedly into even the most republican parts of government. But they turn on each other using the most republican wing?

If "Gulen's people" existed in government then they would have a police run coup with a thin veneer of military. They would also keep as much from the military as possible since they are the type of trash the military takes out whenever it is in cleanup mode.

Gulen is pretty obviously Erodogan's version of a US vice president. A stupider version of himself that no one wants and stays a threat if the president is removed by force.
> but can also go faster than traffic on the same road.

That's only true in traffic jams. Due to operational restrictions on how mass transit vehicles can safely operate (limits on acceleration and breaking, limits on centripetal acceleration on curves, distance between stops, average dwell times, etc..) bus/tram operating speeds are only a fraction of their peak running speed, which is somewhere between 25% and 60%.
These growth rates touted in newspapers etc. are always adjusted for inflation.

> IQ tests don't even have validity well outside 2 s.d.

An easy way to measure above +2 z-scores is to administer an IQ test at a much earlier age than usual. That's what the famous Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth did. It has proven to be super effective even at the extreme right tail of the curve.

> I believe you're incorrect regarding the variance in male IQ vs female.

Belief doesn't enter into it. Many studies report higher male variance and it is widely known in the psychological community. While people try and attack this as a recruitment pattern problem (see [2]) or try to prove that it is partly cultural (see [3]), only people unfamiliar with the literature would outright deny it.

Completely agree with this sentiment. Not all tech debt is bad - and it's often inevitable. I wrote some stuff about this notion: https://medium.com/@MostlyHarmlessD/on-technical-debt-7bac65...
As I said, YMMV but the biggest standout that I remember was trying to play sounds using the windows API. There weren't any packages our team could find that really did it correctly, the one that everyone pointed to leaked memory like crazy and it was hard for us to track down since it relied on bouncing back and forth between C and Go so frequently (making malloc/free lifetimes difficult to follow because C can't know what things have been GC'd by the Go runtime)
Funny thing is, that I've worked with multiple (unrelated) teams who simply refuse to use branches. This keeps boggling my mind (I usually don't work with code directly, since I am a tester, and focus on the end to end verification and validation, not with the details and unit tests), especially the argument that is used: "we want to move fast". On one occasion I could understand it, since they used SVN and externals, and each branching process somehow required 3 developers and 4-8 hours (I never bothered to drill down to the "why" behind those numbers, but I believe they mismanaged the sources, and used externals, where they should have been using just binary dependencies). Yet my current team uses git, and straight on decided that branching is too much hassle.

So yeah. Why?

Ask HN: What would you consider an acceptable size for a command-line utility?
I am looking to write a command-line utility - it will be domain-specific but somewhat similar to PNGOUT [1]. End-users (running Windows) will download an EXE file to use on their own systems.

Many languages are candidates to write such a utility, but one difference between them is the size of the generated EXEs:

C++: < 500KB
Lua: ~ 500KB
LuaJIT: ~ 1MB
Go: ~ 2MB
Python: ~ 4MB
JavaScript (V8): ~ 10MB
PyPy: ~ 40MB

(I have decided against using an EXE compressor such as UPX. Note that PNGOUT itself is only 38KB, in part because it has been compressed.)

Which (if any) of these sizes are sufficiently large that they might put you off downloading the tool? Or, from a developers point-of-view, might put your users off downloading?

There is no reason we should spend extra effort on kids that have that much difficulty learning or hate school that much. The kid isn't likely to come out that much better in the long run.

There isn't unlimited money for this, by choosing to spend more money on lost causes you are depriving the regular and strong students of money that could be used to enrich their education. If the bulk of effort is focused on the lowest 5% of students to the detriment of the other 95%, then it results in a worse education system overall.

People just aren't comfortable with the fact that some students will just not perform well no matter how many resources you throw at it.

Petting a whale from a boat is an amazing experience -- I did this 23 years ago in Ojo de Liebre. The mother Gray Whales would push their calves up to the boats so that they could receive some petting on the nose. There was no material reward for doing so -- they didn't get food or anything. I got the distinct impression that they understood that having an emotional bond with humans was important, and that they were doing it for that reason.

Gotta say that it worked.

I don't personally think any of them should go away. I just note that many newcomers to the language feel they're opaque. Having written a good bit of rust now I do sometimes find the sigils impact readability (especially in macro_rules).
I kinda agree with you on that but there's also another point: when a company hires you it takes some time for you to be really productive, in the meantime you must be a "loss" or just a tad bit of breaking even. From my previous job as a tech lead I've seen this ramp up time taking from 1 month (for a very well defined position with the perfect match) up to 6 months (someone who was curious about a new line of work and had to learn a lot but was a very intelligent person).

So of course, company loyalty is bullshit but there's also a point where your contribution almost didn't pay off their effort and money, those are the people I'd avoid hiring.

Anywhere after 1 to 1.5 years at the same job and I'd not bat an eye, many experiences lesser than an year would not put me off instantly just by looking at a CV but I'd definitely take more time to discover what happened.

The problem with Apple's cords is that the rubber insulation seems to be too long for the wire beneath. Both my iPhone 6 and MacBook Pro cords have their rubber peeling away from the wire. It's not fraying, it's peeling because the rubber is pushing itself away from the wire from too much tension.

Luckily, at least with the newer cords, the wire is very sturdy. The coating seems to be more for cosmetics than insulation these days. The technology inside may be impressive, but the overall quality of the product still screams "made in China". The only real explanation after many years of the same shoddy cords is that it is intentional on Apple's part, to get people buying new cords at $100 a pop every couple of years.
The problem is Apple put 'wings' on their charger so people wrap the cable extra-tight around them like this http://imgur.com/a/VZHoD when they should really be using the only safe method for rolling cables: Over/Under coiling (I just learned this name!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over/under_cable_coiling

First thing I look for whenever I run across another "C competitor" is to look which language it is implemented in. Usually that's C, or C++, but this time, it does look like Crystal is implemented in Crystal, which is, to me, a very good indication that this is a "real" system language.

I believe Rust is also implemented in Rust and Go, after a few years of being implemented in C has now a compiler written in Go.
OpenACC is the standard though, not the actual compiler they're using?

Ah, I see what you are asking. Sorry I misunderstood.

I doubt that the application mixing is actually adding any latency compared to if the application only had a single logical stream internally.

Regardless of the application's internal structure, you will at every moment have a set of audio buffers:

1. the one the sound card is currently playing

2. the one the OS is preparing for the sound card (it gets one buffer's worth of time to synthesize this).

3. the one the application is preparing for the OS (it gets one buffer's worth of time to synthesize this).

If the OS isn't doing any mixing, then you could make buffer 2 and 3 the same and save a buffer's worth of latency. But if the OS is doing mixing, then it needs a chance to add up all the application buffers before they go to the sound card (that is its "synthesize" step). So the application can't be writing directly into the OS's buffer.

You might ask "why can't the application and OS both do their work within a single buffer's worth of time?

Hmm, I guess it is an interesting question whether the OS could, inside the write() call, do the mixing immediately. I'm reaching the point where I'd have to speculate: I'm not exactly sure how existing OSs design their mixing and whether this would be feasible or not.
> That's what he did; it's just embedded inside Rust code

The interrupt handler is a naked Rust function (really cool language feature btw), not an assembly trampoline. There may be a line or two of inline asm in there.

This is probably more educational and experimental than doing it with asm like every other OS project does. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about it.

On-demand paging is still relevant, it's used for mmap and memory mapped GPU buffers, etc. Plain old swap areas may be a thing of the past, though.
