One way to work around this is to write programs that work in memory and have a button that manually triggers side effects

So you do all your manipulations and then hit a "Save" button at the bottom which triggers the save to disk.

Similarly if your input depends on a side effect (web resource?) You place a button on the top which will "start" your program.

Of course, the programming environment can offer primatives (debouncing and the like) to help make this stuff easier.

> How does receiving the assets of your parents after their death affect social mobility

The article doesn't only address inheriting your parents' assets. It is also about people who inherit directly from grandparents and great grandparents. And actually it's even about people who grow up in families that have been wealthy for hundreds of years and remain so today and seem likely to remain so for hundreds of years more.

> undeserved

You seem to focus on whether it's fair that some people have unearned power, but another sense in which some people are concerned about undeserved inheritance is that there's no reason to think that those who win the Ovarian Lottery are particularly able to allocate society's resources. Those who have earned a fortune have demonstrated some ability to put resources to economically good effect, so there's a purely selfish & pragmatic reason to celebrate earned wealth that does not exist for unearned wealth.

Seeing from the point of view of an investment banker, the money that Uber was going to get at the end of the month ($20-$30) will receive it now a month advance and Uber investors can put it towards whatever investments they want and in this way make extra $$$ and have another revenue stream going.

Or Uber can pay off its drivers more earlier and in this way win more of their loyalty for Uber. Brilliant.
The resolution happens once only, just like other dynamic symbols - the result of the custom resolution call gets installed into the PLT, so subsequent calls will go directly to the right place.

That's the point of doing this in the linker - if you were going to look up the right function every call, you could do that entirely without special linker or compiler support.

Product Design Decisions: What’s in a Name? Purpose!
@dang it isn't as if I have the answers. I wasn't just referring to how people on the internet don't have this answer. This has been a discussion going on for several centuries (literally; for example, Japanese budo in the 19th century), and no one has really come up with great answers, and I include people that are smarter than me.

See my discussion with @jtolmar at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12354286 if you want to see something more productive.

As I said: you guys think I am putting people down. I'm not. I'm asking people to step back and really look at how the discourse has been going in circles.

I'd also like to say: while @ghiotion's remarks seems to have violated the customs of of Hacker News, it's on par with the customs on forums specifically for martial arts. It gets crazy, up to and including people deciding to back their arguments by issuing physical challenges (how many of those actually materialize, I don't know). I've also looked through some of @ghiotion's comment history, and the tone of that comment seems like an outlier.

Something about discussing martial arts brings out the aggression in people, worse than flamewars about tech or video games. It's as is to have rhetorical credibility, people feel they have to back it up with their capability for violence. My root comment was as much an observation of my own fatigue of this as anything. And no, I don't have an insight about this either. (Though I kinda wonder if I studied the philosophy of mimetic violence, it would help clarify why this happens).

> Given that AI is highly driven by research right now (no "if" about it), what talent would want to work somewhere where they can't publish research papers?

Ehh. I would question that doing research is necessarily highly correlated with wanting to publish papers all the time. A lot of the work during product development is a mix of AI, UX and engineering. The entire output might definitely fall in research but the individual components of it might require way more fleshing out to bring each to publishable quality. Considering that we don't particularly have the publish or perish doctrine of academia, we are not particularly forced to publish at the same rate as there.

You don't even need perfect, "insider" branch analysis if you can do profile-guided optimisation using actual branch performance counters in the profile.
You can slow down - just that the probe won't remain intact. But perhaps that isn't necessary for the probe to be useful. We can also use these space probes to do geological and atmospheric surveys of the planet when they arrive.

Simply: we slam the probe into the planet, a few milliseconds after it transmits the final images. One gram going at 20% of the speed of light has kinetic energy that bears comparison to the Hiroshima bomb.

At a steep angle of entry, the huge entry glow will give a reading of the atmospheric molecular makeup. And if we can ionize some of the crust, massive space telescopes can get a spectroscopic measurement of the composition, four light years away.
> we just didn't have advanced technology

Mastering Fire, Steel were already what I would call advanced technologies. We should not belittle what people were capable of with the means that they had. And the knowledge even back in antiquity was abundant - look at the work done by the Greek scientists, it's amazing what they knew with the limited observation tools they had.
It's kinda funny that almost always when talking about other races and levels of technological development, the issue of a more highly advance race killing us is raised.

I would see it highly more probable, that if another life form has (and probably, definitely even, has) reached a state of technological development where they can travel to the stars and beyond, they would have already went through a phase in their development as a race, where they realized

'Hey, maybe it's not a good idea to kill ourselves or others, c'mon, let's work together, evolve and go further!'

I could even speculate that this is one of the requirements of making it to a level of technological and spiritual development where we can unlock the secrets of the universe in mutual assurance that we are not afraid of killing ourselves every day, and save that energy for something more constructive, like building space ships..

That's literally not true.

GPUs have only something like 1-32 independent very wide MIMD/SIMD units with a lot of hardware threads.

Not sure about Nvidia 1080, but at least 980 has 32 SMM units, each roughly as defined above.

1024 independent cores... that'd be crazy. Surely they would not be cache coherent but only able to talk to immediate neighbors.

It'd be understatement to say that programming that kind of CPU would be challenging...
I'm really not interested in how well PSK AES schemes fare post-quantum, because PSK isn't a realistic solution to any of the problems we use cryptography to address.

I suggested, upthread, not using RSA (which depends on the hardness of factoring) and using ECC instead. How AES does post-quantum is not responsive to that advice.
So then these are not like the PowerPC chips used in the PowerMacs and Amiga One computers?

Not that you're wrong, but I've been having conversations like the one that is on message here for a very long time now. I'm accustomed to there being a few people who will say "well, the real problem is that there's just too many people", and I'm familiar with the typical unwillingness of such people to be drawn on questions like exactly whom they find surplus to requirements, exactly how they see that changing, and exactly why they imagine it reasonable to say such things in front of God and everybody, just as though it were nothing to be ashamed of.

I've more or less given up trying to draw such people into useful conversation, because there isn't enough common ground for direct discourse between me and someone who finds it other than abhorrent to seriously contemplate mass human slaughter as a geoengineering technique. Happily for my state of mind if nothing else, that perspective seems rare enough overall to make largely unnecessary an engagement for the benefit of the audience - put simply, this isn't really a subject on which most people need a worked example.

So, in such a case, I sometimes feel at some liberty to indulge myself, especially here on Hacker News, where the typical user's personal lexicon is considerably broader than you tend to find a lot of other places. Of course I understand that it's not a game to everyone the way it is to me. But I also understand that I'm not the only one who feels that way about it. And I don't really know that there's a lot of grounds to assume, for example, that I'm just "using high-dollar words to try to sound smart". I mean, I already know I'm not all that smart, and I hope I'm not terribly insecure about it; I make myself useful in other ways, and in general I'm just glad to be able to keep up on HN to the relatively limited extent I succeed in so doing.

Some folks just like playing with words, that's all. I've always been one of them. Sometimes, when there's no real need to hammer home a point most people already grasp implicitly and the rest aren't at home to, I screw around a little. You're the first person who has evinced any upset at all about that since before I was in high school. Maybe you're right, and I shouldn't indulge myself this way at all, rather than just doing so very rarely. But I don't really know that I care to stop. I guess I'll just have to hope that people getting bent out of shape over it remains as rare as it has been throughout my life heretofore.
Thank you very much for the quick responses!

It's definitely hard and depending on your point in life it can be really hard to transition from day job to your own business.

single+young is easier than family+mortgage but either way you can do it.

I went from day job to consulting full time. I am working on products and a SaaS but it's definitely not easy. But it is enjoyable and the potential payoff is 10x your day job (most likely). Plus you control your own destiny for the most part, vs being an employee.

But work is work, if they pay you decently and it takes care of your needs plan your move carefully as you might not have it as bad as you think.

Maybe changing day jobs if a first step and start stair stepping with products/apps as another revenue stream.

Good luck.

Ask HN: I'm 28yo. Should I start college now, or get real world experience?
I want to work in software development. I know enough to build a good portfolio that will showcase my skills through practice projects. But I have no real-world experience in the field.

I can either start college now, and be 32 when I graduate. Or build my portfolio and look for work. Most of my tuition costs would be covered through grants, but it would still cost me 4 years of my time.

What do you think? Would it be difficult for me to find work without a degree? I would like to eventually work at interesting companies like Uber, Airbnb, Spotify etc. I've emails developers from many of these companies to ask for their advice and I received a lot of mix opinions.

IE is dead. Edge is embryonic. I can't speak for Opera. I use Firefox every day, both as my personal browser and as my primary development target, with validation in other browsers performed via automated and manual testing. And, if Chrome is your standard, Firefox cannot honestly be said to "keep up". It's consistently a few versions behind, at least, in supporting major innovations which reliably appear first in Chrome.

I grant testing is an issue if you don't own Apple hardware, although there are free and inexpensive remote testing services which cover that need well, and I'm certainly not about to say that Safari doesn't pose any unique difficulties to the web developer. But so does every other browser.
