that's because people are 'lazy' - they don't want to do the hard work, rather they spend significant amount of time, energy and cash to chase pure dietary solutions. they expect that some 30-day dietary course will change their life, especially when right after they go back to their old eating habits. obviously, it doesn't work, ever. so they try another diet and so on...

I believe massive changes in life can be done just by permanently altering diet, but best, fastest and most durable results are in combination of diet and exercise. proper workout stimulates metabolism, makes people more happy and the feeling of strength and endurance coming from your own body is just priceless. oh and it prolongs life too on top of adding massive quality to it.

did I laid out a massive change in somebody's life? yes. so what? great rewards come after great hardships, naturally. but many people will keep throwing money at their problems, refusing to change, instead of pouring sweat for free and keep wondering why it doesn't work.
It's the other way around. ctime (status change) for metadata, mtime (modification) for files contents, atime (access) for file access.
Here's a "me too!"

I spend a lot of time less-ing around in log files, but then every once in a while I need or at least want the full power of an editor to act on those files. Be it converting one kind of line delimiter to another so I can visually understand the structure of strange messages, excerpting blocks of the log to files,... lots of things I can do easily in vim (and probably could do in ST if I had ST in my environment) and not nearly so convenient otherwise.
It wasn't unpaid community duties, it was compensated work that provided value to a corporation. IANAL, but I think the premise is that, as far as employment law is concerned, they were already in a job.

Actually, I think bottled water is a really interesting example of how irrational people are, which leads the free market to many suboptimal solutions. The basic question is why people spend $1-3 for a bottle of water that is worse quality than tap water, which is 100x-1000x cheaper? The answer has a lot to do with non-price factors like convenience, social conventions, social status, false perceptions of added value, habit, etc.

The amount of copper you would need to constantly convey electricity from the sunny side of the earth to the dark side would be absolutely massive. It is not an issue of common grids, as long distance high power transmission is done at many different voltages depending on the specific route, and has nothing to do with your mains voltage and frequency.

Current long distance power transmission is most often used as a way of 'balancing' production and demand between different types of plants; it is not intended or capable of transmitting the full power needs of the recieving area.

Worse quality than tap water? You've obviously had less 'boil water advisories' than I have.

I actually used bottled water for the example because it is easy to visualize and synonymous with potable water. I was recently on an island with 'tap water' which had poisonous levels of arsenic, so tap water seemed like a bad example.
I think the problem is that the US healthcare system is a perfectly miscalibrated non-free market coupled with aggressive corporations pursuing unrealistic profit margins and hyper-growth, coupled with corporatism in government, coupled with a poorly design public system, employer-provided health insurance, and a general lack of information about real costs.
> I think I read that too, but I am not sure that this is actually true. Please correct me if I am wrong, according to the Rust developers code generation seems to be the bottleneck.

You're both right. The problem of C++ is how '#include' works, that it just includes the content of all files and
therefore there's more overhead on the lexing side.

Rust's "equivalent" of '#include' is 'use', which doesn't have this problem, because it doesn't concatenates files.

Well, it's not a good design choice, but it's what you might expect of a slapdash attempt to make a "minimum viable marketing bullet point" release with a skeleton crew of engineers maintaining the product line that is currently the company's lowest priority.

Just for backup on the large lines thing:

Many years ago, one compelling feature about Lugaru's emacs-family Epsilon (recently discussed here on HN) was the fact that you could quickly load _any_ file, with maximum sizes several times the available system memory, and completely regardless of text structure. You could load a fat binary, e.g. WORD.EXE, edit character strings in it, save it, and if you carefully avoided changing sizes and offsets, have a still-working .EXE program.

This is of course a slightly off-the-wall use case for a text editor, but if you happen to need that kind of thing you'll be really grateful if you have an editor that can do it.
ST bootstrapped its ecosystem by directly and shamelessly cloning every one of its original features from the TextMate editor, and just copy/pasting its entire ecosystem, without contributing anything back. For years there was no special support for actually working on custom features from within Sublime Text, so if you wanted to create new language grammars or syntax highlighting modes etc. you needed to do it from within TextMate. Sublime users would come to the TextMate IRC channel to complain about particular language bundle features that were buggy in the not-quite-compatible environment of ST, and ask TM users to fix it for them. Kind of comical really.

Even still, TextMate is a substantially more carefully designed tool. My impression is that the Sublime programmer didn’t really understand the underlying philosophy behind many of the features he cloned, and kind of screwed up a bunch of the subtler details. (This isn’t really surprising; I’d say it pretty much always happens when anyone just copies something that exists; they seldom perfectly understand the context or ideas of the original creator, so the copy is always at least a bit degraded/distorted, with less clarity of vision.)

Sublime does have the advantage of working on more platforms though.

Categorization is one part of model building. But doing nothing else is like using Legos by just categorizing them into piles and then doing nothing with them.

Categorization - to provide concrete value - requires feedback into the categorization scheme from real world data. There are various indicators which might point out that the categorization is useless or totally incorrect and then modify or abandon the categorization scheme.

For instance, in physics it is very practical to categorize collisions into elastic and inelastic collisions (the former conserves energy while the latter conserves momentum). But that's not all of physics, and does not even make sense all of the time.

And then we have categorizations like Meyer Brigs which are just nonsense.

The problem is, as you said, that people often have this strange illusion that just inventing a category somehow is somehow value adding.
Various Logitech gear has broken (sometimes grayscreening the entire Mac just by existing) with every major OS X update ov the last half dozen or so.

Do you have any suggestions of ressources to learn more on that specific topic. I am interested on ressources to learn more about when to use tasks or when it is better not to. Especially for embedded systems. I find now people use tasks for anything without having a real idea of the costs.
I am also interested on when it is needed to use an embedded OS or when you could better do without one.
Any kind of ressources, book, website etc is welcomed.
tl;dr for me:

Putting the authentication service into a nice tidy centralised box does not actually achieve much, and may have architectural downsides.

Not the least of which is: if it's wholly in a service, then you have to authenticate the service; that's not such a big step from "if the hashed passwords are stored in a directory, then you have to authenticate the directory" of course - but if we were to equate the two systems because of the need to authenticate the {directory, service} then the service-based solution still has the downside of being a CPU hotspot and a potential single point of failure.

We're much better at distributing directories of data which is self-protected / needs no special treatment, than we are at building humongous scalable "secure" services with an enormous TCB and a physically enormous attack surface / footprint.

Yes. If I was doing this, sure, I would do this again. Curiously I am a big fan of password hashing rather than all-singing, all-dancing authentication services.

FWIW, my dentist recommended Colgate Total because it had Triclosan in it; I don't remember exactly what she said -- it was years ago --- but something along the lines of it being the one toothpaste that seemed demonstrably better than others.

Yep structural engineering design in most countries doesn't need to be done by a registered professional engineer - just signed off by one. A lot of offices will have graduate/junior engineers that are not registered yet (but often working towards it) doing a lot of the donkey work. But they aren't responsible for it - the registered engineer who signs off on their work is.

These photographs are amazing I feely lucky to have seen them.
I'm a bit hesitant to burden you with feature suggestions - sidetracking the developer(s) can easily kill many small projects. But I'd like to mention a feature I would find compellingly useful that I have yet to see in "modern" editors. Possibly this could be a distinguishing feature that gives you a niche!

IBM's mainframe editor ISPF allowed you to select a set of lines, usually based on a search (including negative search, i.e. lines _not_ containing the search data), then to manipulate the set of lines thus selected (manually removing lines, adding lines or reversing the selection) and then performing other operations, such as global search and replace, or sorting, or indenting or whatever, on that set of lines while ignoring all other text in the file.

I occasionally run into tasks where I would love to have this functionality available.
Of course, but there's a huge difference between making things for your own use and making them to sell to others, especially in this context.

I had something like that forever. Chronic fatigue, headaches, foggy memory, muscle pain. It all built up to actual chronic depression. The kicker is that im, as far as tests go, stupid healthy. I even exercise regularly. I've been to doctors on and off but the prescription was all sleep (get plenty), exercise(boxing six times a week), eat better (eat pretty well all things considered) Etc.

Since I kept getting politely told it was in my head I kept up my slow stream of research and personal experimentation.

I finally had a breakthrough earlier this year. I realized that my stomach was misbehaving more and more than it used to. Thought maybe I was lactose intolerant so I Stopped drinking milk. Holy shit did I feel better. Thought for sure that it was milk. Felt bad after having some cookies. Assumed it was the low milk content in them. Cut out anything sweet since most sweet things have milk. Cheated in Italy and had cheese and such. Felt fine. Kept cheating. Got a little worse. Had a bite of gelato. One bite. Instant gastronomical disagreement.
Finally made the connection between sugar and my mood. Like any sugar. Even overly refined bread is risky. My favorite drink used to be lattes. Of which the steamed milk is practically pure sugar froth.

Anyway. A very large portion of my symptoms have vanished. I can even go back and relate the mopey parts of my journal to particularly refined dietary swings (like when I'm in a high stress time with lots of prepared food)

As soon as I get real health insurance again I'm gonna persue a dietary based inquiry rather than a mood and psychiatric based one. I imagine I can get even better results.

Perhaps in an ancient one-pass C compiler. Modern compilers build many trees, usually one for each pass. Later stages do expensive operations on sets (even without optimization one has to do basic register allocation), so I'd say the lexing stage is entirely negligible.
I know there are OpenGL packages for Go, but I don't think they are really "pure Go" (in the sense of not linking to any C libraries at all). At least not under X11.

Unlike all the other X11 extensions, the GLX "protocol specification" doesn't define a network protocol. It defines C functions bolted on to Xlib for setting up GL contexts. In many use cases, there probably is no network at all -- just direct rendering.

I don't know what the situation is on other platforms, but I guess it is similar: OpenGL is exposed as some C-based library.
WebGL examples with shaders
There is no real reason to write code that goes out of its way to prevent you from switching into AHCI mode even if you know what you're doing (like in EFI shell).

Hiding the option from BIOS menu is absolutely enough to "ensure Intel specific drivers are used for power management purposes". It would be annoying, but workaroundable. There is no real reason for anything more, aside of being able to get months of complains about not releasing a one line fix allowing your customers to use your hardware.
I did something similar in the distant past, that is I wrote subset of C compiler (functions, standard types, pointers) to imaginary assembler and then bytecode interpreter. It was awesome fun, but also I got so into it my - then - girlfriend started to question my commitment to the relationship. So be careful, this is really interesting thing to do :)

Yes, absolutely agree. In LISP its obvious.

1. Every function is a tiny VM already. Every macro is a layer on top of a "compiler" to let you redesign a language. LISP gives much more power, precisely because every program is its own DSL, and all power of the language within that DSL is available. http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html

2. In SICP they show how to build anything from LISP constructs. The elegant thing is that LISP actually only needs very few machine primitives. https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book-Z-H-30.htm...

The most powerful constructs I've seen is a combination of these 2: Clojure/async is a macro which transforms any program to state machines. I think that kind of power gives you 20-30x advantage in business type applications. In fact I've seen C++ programmers spending a decade on discovering similar things by themselves. I strongly believe everyone should know at least a little about LISP.

Methodox Binary Review THE TRUTH
In Ireland we had a sovereign wealth fund for pensions, called the National Pensions Reserve Fund.

The government raided it to pay for budget shortfalls caused by offering a blanket, virtually unconditional guarantee to (private sector) bank debts, even unsecured bank debts, caused by the collapse in the Irish property market in 2008. The insane loans issued were made whole by the taxpayer at enormous cost to the wider economy. Of course, very little of those involved actually went to prison, although some higher ups in Anglo Irish (described as the worst bank in the world, even worse than Icelandic banks) were eventually, after many years, sent to prison [2]. The CEO of Anglo was even acquitted by a jury!

"The NPRF’s asset base had increased to over €22 billion in 2009. However, following the economic and banking collapse, its assets have been diverted as successive governments raided it to fund programmes or help meet the State’s fiscal commitments during the crisis."

This is a long way of saying that even in Northern Europe incompetence and fraud is possible. I wish we had the competence and level of societal trust the Norwegians have.
