There are some problems with that that have arisen due to the long disuse of the other privilege levels:

1. The fast methods for system calls (syscall/sysret/sysenter/sysleave) completely ignore these privilege levels and can only perform transitions between 0 and 3. That means you have to use interrupts which are slow, and may be even slower than 0/3 interrupt transitions because the processors aren't used to dealing with them.

2. You can't make much use of them for x86_64 programs, since these disable segment based protection and the x86_64 page tables (you guessed it) only have a single bit to select privilege level of a page. Somebody that remembers the Intel manuals better can hopefully inform us if you can use them in x86 compatibility mode under a 64-bit kernel, but I'm going to guess you'll have some wrinkles here.

I would be very surprised if these two issues don't kill any performance gains you would get from avoiding the recompilation step.

You reminded me of Gargoyles which is worth mentioning. Creator Greg Weisman quit over Disney planning to ruin it in Season 3. It was probably a good call because they did ruin Season 3.

Weisman had created a detailed story arc that had a couple more centuries to go. He has continued to answer never ending fan questions and reveal details of the story arc for the following 20 years at "Ask Greg" at Station 8 Gargoyles

As always, it's worth pointing out that this is just about the Linux kernel. Different scale, different developer community, different code structure, different testing/CI methodology (i.e. practically none) than just about every other project out there. Email works for them - great. Other things work for other people - also great. Theirs is one interesting data point, but that's all it is.
And you can see a letter further down the page from Paul Glassman and Albert Meyers that is much more in that vein. They mention 60 hours and list things that students are expected to do, learn, and keep abreast of. They also mention that if the students perform well, they will do their best to aid them both in learning and in getting a desired job. It reads very differently than the letter by Carreira. Particularly in Glassman and Meyers focus on results that require lots of hard work, whereas Carreira focuses on having his poor employees' asses in the lab all hours of the day...

Those are the same retention ability for typical flash. Every 5C of storage temperature cuts data life in half. (A higher write temperature can lessen this, but you wouldn't want to depend on it in a typical server scenario.)

But they don't want to assume all devices will behave that way. Better to specify the server scenario at realistic server temperatures.
Not at all. A VM is quite different to a shared host. There is more work and maintenance involved. For smaller projects its not worth it.

Arduino has made a huge impact on the "maker" community. It has enabled lots of non-electrical engineers to produce hardware that was previous not possible or easy for non-programmers. Most of the time, 8 bit micros are sufficient for the types of projects involved. Even embedded engineers use them when convenient.

And the ecosystem of Arduino "shields" has become so popular that lots of people and companies make shields. Even the newer environments such as ARM's mBed will accept arduino shields due to their availability.
Cost to print 5,000 B&W pages on my HP inkjet: $300 ($12 per 200-page generic ink refill).

Cost to print 5,000 B&W pages on my Brother laser: $25 ($12.50 per 2600-page generic toner).

Inkjets make no sense if you can put up the extra $50-100 up front for a laser printer. B&W is at least 10x cheaper, color is at least 5x cheaper, per page.

I have a Brother HL-2270DW for B&W printing, and an HP M251nw for color. Both are wireless, easy to set up.

Bonuses: Print 5 reams of paper before you need to swap a toner cartridge, instead of 3+ ink cartridges per ream. If you don't print anything for a few weeks, you won't need to throw out a dried out cartridge to use the printer again.
There's no doubt that the GPLv3 provides broader patent protection for users, but both licenses put the "protect users from developer's patent claims" first.

To be honest if you're hostile to software patents in general (which I am, and the GPL sure as hell is), the part of the Apache 2.0 license's patent clause that prevents users from flipping around the patent claims seems like a non-issue.

The APIs enable developers to make better apps for you and other users; they are obviously not meant to be showcased as an end user feature. However, if you have obscure requirements that aren't being met by the OS or third-parties, you can just make your own apps, for free.

You are being adamantly hyperbolic about stagnation and "mobile-ification" but you still haven't given any example of how the "desktop OS has gotten worse because they've been focused on cross-selling their mobile devices."

Personally I started using Macs in 2011, with Lion, after a lifetime of Windows (and before that, DOS) and every new release since then has only made the Mac experience better for me;

The App Store model is a boon for desktop OSes (although the current implementation definitely needs improvement) and you can still get apps from other sources. Natural Scrolling is amazing, and really does feel natural. I like all alerts being grouped up in one place in the Notification Center. Pressing F4 for the Launchpad is a quick alternative to opening the Applications folder, and usually quicker than Spotlight. I like iMessage and FaceTime and they don't require an iPhone or iPad. Safari always feels snappier than Chrome. 3D/Force-Touch to preview links without opening a new page is very handy, especially on places like Reddit and HN. The OS is still customizable in all the ways I care about, and nicely extended by apps like TinkerTool [1] and Path Finder [2]. ...

I really can't think of any examples where I felt macOS had gotten "worse" than a preceding release because of features borrowed from iOS, or that Apple had betrayed me and made me want to go back to Windows.

Top clubs where people one up each other are fine for useless activities. They are decidedly not fine for science, which is extremely important to humanity as a whole.

[also, people in athletics are not this dumb and figured out that you do not want to train 24/7 because that's not how the body works. That's not how the brain works, either, trust me]

This has nothing to do with discipline. I guarantee that this is hilariously inefficient, scares off all the good potential scientists because they actually have a shred of self-respect, and is probably contributing to a lot of social and mental problems in the country as a whole. The "work until you die" rhetoric has always been moralistic, not scientific.

This, this right here, is the only explanation anyone should need for perceived lack of scientific progress. How can anything useful at all grow in an environment like this? It's a miracle when it does.

No need to be embarrassed. I used DH for many many years, starting probably about 13-14 years ago. Since moved to Linode and DO in order to fully control a stack even for small personal things, however fond memories are having a managed environment for a very low price, wildcard emails, bundled domain, and mostly, sticking to their promise which got me to sign-up in the first place: any new pricing plan will be offered to existing customers at the same rate as new customers, which 10-15 years ago was almost unheard of.
This. It could be argued that most police don't even need a firearm if their role is not suppressive. In fact, a better division of labor based on a better rules of engagement may even negate the need for the concept of a generalist police officer. Large numbers of containment and assessment roles could largely clear (of bystanders in danger) and control an area until the situation can be assesed properly. Maybe engagement is required and maybe its not. In the event it is, only a small pool of highly trained officers need be draw from to apply lethal force. If its not and an arrest can be made peacefully, then yet another class of police could handle the actual arrest and custody.

Dividing the process across different roles should help reduce the spillover of tension and aggression from one phase to the next.

> if it can be outsourced to a university lab

Thankfully, my work is sufficiently specialized and my background is strong enough I am not easily replaced.
However, like many on HN I'm not representative of the general population and am certainly in a fortunate position. I am on a 'tenure track' in an organization where proprietary work and intellectual property I develop is legitimately valued.

But broadly, I agree. And I've seen some pretty horrific results along the lines you alluded occur to several of my colleagues.
That doesn't make sense. Science can have huge contributions, and any decent capitalistic system must reward that. If you have people working for poor wages while doing important things, it means the wrong group of people got too much power.
I agree with what you seem to be getting at, that Native Client and VX32 are essentially a hack: but to do it right, you don't actually need hardware support, only kernel support. After all, user processes - on all common architectures, not just x86 - are already fully isolated from the rest of the system; their only methods of communication are system calls and other triggerable exceptions (e.g. segfault), and the kernel controls the handlers for all exceptions. In theory, all you need to run untrusted code safely, even portably (across OSes if not CPU architectures), is a kernel API to run a process without direct access to the kernel's syscall layer - e.g. the kernel could forward all attempts to invoke syscalls to a configurable handler. In fact, this sort of exists already in the form of seccomp on Linux.

One drawback to a fully hardware based approach is that you can only trap instructions the hardware lets you trap. On x86, for example, CPUID is not in that category (for normal ring 3; see below about VMX), so you can't prevent the untrusted code from learning about what kind of CPU it's running on. Nor is CLFLUSH, an instruction to flush memory from cache to RAM, which is not supposed to be dangerous - but turned out to make it a lot easier to exploit the rowhammer bug on vulnerable systems. Native Client originally allowed CLFLUSH, but was updated to block it once the vulnerability was revealed. (That said, CLFLUSH is/was not strictly necessary to exploit rowhammer, and in fact someone wrote an exploit that worked from a JavaScript VM; the only way to fully prevent it is to fix the RAM refresh rate.)

By the way, there is also VMX, hardware virtualization, which both Linux and macOS (but not Windows AFAIK) allow unprivileged processes to use at will. While traditionally used to run full operating systems, which in theory should be safe too but requires exposing a relatively large amount of hardware surface area to the guest - there's nothing preventing you from having your own mini kernel and running untrusted code in ring 3 inside the VM. This provides multiple advantages: VMX allows trapping CPUID, faults from ring 3 can be handled by the mini kernel without a context switch, more control over various bits of the execution environment, etc. Too bad it's often disabled fully and/or not supported if you happen to already be inside a VM (because nested VMX, while possible, requires some software emulation and incurs a speed penalty)...

I bought a Canon imageCLASS D530 in mid-2014 for $68 new, incl. shipping (and it's a bit of a beast). B&W laser, color scanning, it's wired but no problem for me. The "starter" toner cart that came with it is just now starting to die, but if you take them out and give them a good shaking you can usually get another 100+ pages out of them. Canon-brand toner carts are stupid expensive, but third-party ones are everywhere, and they're $25 or under. I'm unsure which brand to go with, as this is the first time I've needed one, but I'm leaning towards Newegg's house brand (Rosewill, $18). It's either that or an "Arthur Imaging" branded one on Amazon for $25 (great reviews, that is if you take those seriously anymore)

> Often times at the bleeding edge of research, that one postdoc is literally the only person in the world who can do both tasks.

I thought we just said earlier how easily replaceable this post-doc is.

Not buying it. Bleeding edge of research doesn't really exist, it just doesn't move fast enough to have any sort of "bleeding edge". It's slowed down by lack of money and poor management and too much bureaucracy far more than it is by someone not working long hours. As has always been true with these things.

This is why startups will, sadly, end up beating academic science over time. Because startups are bleeding edge.

"It has to be this way!" is a very difficult claim to verify, you can't expect others merely to accept it, you must prove it, and I have seen very little evidence so far, including from my own experience with people who did research at university.
They themselves seed an already existing torrent and then just log the IP's that connect to download.

With these logs they approach the ISP's to give them names and addresses which the ISP's are forced to do.

So it's easy to see how they automated the whole process, which is a precondition if you want to go after hundreds of thousands of file sharers.
In a similar vein, I start projects by writing a README. It forces me to see with the user's eyes, which makes the difference obvious between what I think is a good interface and what is actually a good interface. It has worked well. I recommend it!

Although I have mixed feelings about Dropbox's approach on Mac, there is one key difference to the Windows implementation that makes the situation incomparable: Windows explicitly provides APIs for file badges and other extensibility features.
It's in P2P networks (e.g. BitTorrent), where people share content. While you download, you offer what you already have downloaded and that's associated with your IP. And that's their attack vector: you're distributing copyrighted content without a license.

After that file hosters (e.g. Rapidshare) became popular, where only one person is uploading and the downloaders are hard to identify and even harder to sue.
I like this approach, its interesting to see that coherence factoring into the summation amongst other things.

I would expect AI to include some sort "emergent behavior", so in a sense you are correct. If a program does exactly what we expect it to, exactly how we tell it to, it almost certainly isn't AI.

Unless we are telling it to "be intelligent" whatever that means.
Yet we have a movement toward shorter hours for hospital staff right now due to all the errors committed by overworked people and burnout issues. Expecting mere humans to keep track of logistical things is already a mistake - use computers, use checklists, etc., medical issues due to expecting a human to remember things is already a problem. It's not like these policies are chosen by nurses themselves, they're chosen by those whom it does not affect.

I very much doubt that this reason you claim has been properly looked at. Every single time I look at a situation like this it never happens for a good reason, but because someone was greedy and was trying to cut costs somewhere. The main reason this gets written off as OK is because nobody cares about nurses, or post-docs, or whatever other group of exploited people. They're replaceable and interchangeable and are just thrown through the grinder because it's cheaper than figuring things out properly. The cost of burnout is never considered because the implementers can get away with not bearing it.
