The counting seems really slow compared to MSSQL? I'm not familiar with the reference hardware used here, but just running a similar test on my desktop with sql server it can count distinct a million strings in under a second (with parallelisation, around 2.5s cpu time).

Or am I missing the fact that these benchmarks are run on a reference spec which is comparatively old?

Not every processor has the means to perform direct comparisons against the program counter; as far as I know 6502 and MC68000 families can not do direct comparisons with the program counter.
I agree with the first part, it's kind of a self reinforcing decision.
Intel wanted INT 3 to be for break points so they gave it a single byte instruction, and because INT 3 is a single byte instruction - it's the only one that makes sense for debug breakpoints.

Lets say you have a lot of single byte opcodes:

40 INC EAX
43 INC EBX
41 INC ECX
C3 RET

And you want to set a breakpoint on INC EAX.
If you replace "40" with "CD03" - you'll overwrite INC EBX as well.
That can cause your program to crash if there are control flows that end up jumping to INC EBX without going through INC EAX first.

That's the main reason why 0xCD, 0x03 isn't used.

That's called "lurking," and I consider it the correct default position in discussions of any sort--especially threaded ones. But you needn't lurk forever, and if you have something to add that isn't redundant or vacuous or--if you're particularly discerning--vapid, then you should feel welcome to comment.

If you think of something clever, and someone else beats you to the punch, you should feel vindicated that a total stranger thought your idea was clever too.

Beyond that, move on. Allow your clever surrogate's comment room to breathe, and if further discussion inspires some new idea in you, you can begin anew.

You're mixing startup (submission title), idea (the page) and business model (submission text). For others to asses the business model you'd have to provide numbers. With the landing page (nice photos!) one can comment on the idea only.

How big the target market it? And where it is (I see British Pound in the screenshot so I assume somewhere in the UK)? Who is cooking the meals, how they get delivered to the end user? What is the product or service? Is it the app as a marketplace or is it vendor you buy meals directly from? Can it, or is the goal, to scale? By the description is could be an app for single restaurant or the next deliveroo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliveroo). Will it deliver to an address 5 miles away from the restaurant?

I know at this stage you only want to assess if people like the idea. I do like it as an end user "sure, another delivery app", but realistical I'm not from the UK so when I subscribe to the newsletter it's not a signal that I'd ever become a customer.

The name "quantum message" is misleading. They are not transmitting anything interesting. All the message is the speed of the rotation of the black hole.

There certainly are magic bullets. Look at any software engineer who has ever interned at Google. For anyone else, the hiring process is uncertain, chaotic, and basically random. Success is a function of your past performance, your appearance, the emotional reaction your interviewer has to you, your interviewers mood and frame of mind during the interview, how stressed you happen to be that day, etc. There are exceptionally strong candidates who are rejected by the Google process and poor candidates who make it through. The latest thing in the Google interview crapshoot is a new emphasis on GPA - I've never (in the past two years) heard of someone with less than a 3.5 even being considered for an interview and they ask for a transcript with the application. There are lots of exceptional candidates who push themselves into hard subjects, work on personal projects, and lead on campus that are ignored because of that magic number. On the other hand, once you have that Google internship, every other tech company is falling over themselves to interview you and extend an offer - I've never heard of a Google intern not getting ab excellent full time offer months before graduation.

Group affiliation helps, too. On my campus there is a very strong and old computing interest group with a strong alumni network. Every year, company recruiters do interviews directly with that group of people before even considering applicants at the career fair.

Oh, I can dislike both major candidates very well, thank you. As poorly managed as the alternative party candidates may be, it would be nice to see someone without a D or R next to their name in the whitehouse. It's not like they could cause that much damage with congress... that said, a lot of vetoes may not be a bad thing for a term.
It puzzles me how come in USA people are considering only 2 candidates to chose from. At this stage it looks like people are not voting for the candidate they agree with, they are choosing the candidate they disagree with the most and then voting for the other one. This is only 1 step better than how it used to be in USSR where people had an option to chose essentially only 1 party. (sure officially there were more parties, as there are more candidates in USA, but it wasn't a real option in reality). Still far away from European democracies where each election you have multiple parties competing.
I have been using VIM since I had a floppy disc of it on my Amega I got from my dad. I will say I don't use VIM all the time and right now I am loving VS Code but in the end I always am using VIM modes in whatever editor I am in. RStudio or VS Code.
Why? Unless the candidate will have the power to prevent women from voting he can hold any beliefs he wants in general.

There is a good reason why we have separation of power and why we have a complex political system in which even the president needs political capital to do things.

That said i think it's highly unlikely that there will be such hypothetical candidate that i can agree with on 99% 90% or even 50% of the issues and they'll be say a member of the KKK.

I don't know which accent you're talking about, but I have a strong Indian accent, and one of the major selling points of Google Now is the amazing accuracy with which it works for that! Yes, you have to actually go and set the Voice language to English (India), because the default English (US) doesn't do that great for my accent - but as soon as I switch that, it works really awesome. When we friends sit together, we always compare our Indian English on Google Now v/s Siri. All I have to say is Siri is a joke in comparison. Not only does it listen to our accent correctly, it also speaks back all the regional words in the right way they're supposed to be spoken which is very comforting.

I guess I'm a maker now. It's not that one $5US/month subscription is going to hurt, it's that there's tens of these kinds of tools. If I subscribed to an online code editor, maybe a graphics editor, a CAD tool, a circuit making tool - that'd add up. Yes it's a contrived example but it's the same issue you see in the video/music streaming space. Everyone's carved out their own little niche so you can't just pay for one service, you're paying over and over again.
Google has several other options for finding interesting areas close to you. The newest is Google Trips: https://get.google.com/trips/, a little older is Field Trip https://www.fieldtripper.com/, and of course Google Earth still has plenty of geotagged photos to explore, either in the client app or in the web version.

Field Trip in particular is worth a look. It somehow contains a wealth of hyper-local information that you probably won't see elsewhere, at least for places in the US. I certainly learned things about the history of my local area that I never would have found out otherwise.

Star wars galaxies was a game with some rather complex economic models that truly did effect your outcome in battle. For example only certain players in the galaxy (it was an MMO) had the skills to craft the very best items. They could do that because they knew where to mine or buy the very best materials (randomly generated in those areas).

So I as a budding star ship pilot had to seek out the best vendors in order to buy the right equipment to competitive.

There was a lot more to it but it was the complexity of the emergent gameplay that gave the psuedo randomness of some aspects a real role, and drove your personal story.

"I managed to find a vendor who has access to large amounts of high grade titanium, and he crafted me this engine with 10kj/s faster recharge time, which allowed me to escape that bounty hunter.." was a story that emerged and happened to me in the game, for example.

In some ways the randomness was abstracted away enough to not be obvious, and I think that helped sell the feeling.

What I mean is: If I would pick up Arduino now I'd fail to make rapid progress.

Over the years it became harder and harder for me to just innocently interact with a new domain. I've acquired so many mental frameworks that clutter up my thinking.

If I run into a problem nowadays I'd frequently resort to reading things up (instead of joyful playing around). And this, of course, would only happen after I spend an enormous amount of time finding the best material and so on. Or I'd wonder from time to time whether Arduino actually is something for me and think about how else I could spend my time more usefully.

The reasons may sound silly but they are very real.
Commenters who are framing this story in left/right/utopian politics are missing the point and not letting the brutality of the situation sink in enough to suppress their need to grind philosophical axes. It is a shame that apparently no Mexican HN visitors have come by to set them straight or perhaps they turned away in disgust at all the blather. I am just an ignorant gringo who has been briefly to Michoacan and heard talks by Cheran villagers at a conference, but anyone can see that these are heroic apolitical indigenous people who have invented a functioning government on the fly and under fire. One aspect that I have not seen mentioned outside of the talks I heard (and I am sorry that I could not quickly find a reference) is that early on they realized that choosing corruptible leaders would be fatal, and they came up with an unusual rule requiring that leaders be godparents - (a double filter as it requires unusual trustworthiness to be asked to raise children in the event of parental death and unusual generosity to accept.)

> is fundamentally broken from a security perspective in the relevant dimension (that is, local exploits leading to privilege escalation).

I'm not sure why you're pointing out containers, Linux, or any specific implementation of anything. What you said seems both true and obvious - local exploits lead to privilege escalation. The only other options are denial of service or information disclosure. All practical systems will have all of those, unless we go into fully verified OS territory.

While I don't strongly disagree with the result, I think this is the wrong way to analyse security of some components. Containers provide abstraction over namespaces. Namespaces isolate some operations (fs access for example), but not others. (syscalls) Whether that improves the security of the system or not depends heavily on the configuration and context. There's a big overlap with the security improvement provided by dedicated system accounts - and that's worth remembering.

But let's not say containers don't improve on security as some absolute statement. There are tradeoffs everywhere.

From my perspective the main benefit of this is there is now a non profit that can take over administration of JS projects the community values but the original developers want to abandon.

Does this mean this new foundation will be offering funding for projects?
