tl;dr we should resist an insistence that federally funded science ought prioritize by free-market principles. Thomas Levenson provides examples of basic research that took long periods, often initially focused on non-remunerative subjects. Ex, Thomas Brock studied boring microbes at Yellowstone, which led to studying unrecognized extremophiles. Those bacteria's enzymes contributed to the use of PCR to identity genes cheaply.

(Sure, we can't predict the positive consequences of boring science, but is federally funded money science any less likely to accomplish the same? Distinguished from corporate money science, ala Marlboro's tobacco studies.)

I guess what I meant is that there are true victims who are being harassed or abused, and telling that group of people to change their mentality and perspective (without changing their circumstances) would be dismissive.

Greenwald is deliberately misrepresenting the reporting done by Kurt Eichenwald about the leaked emails. We know it's deliberate because he's distorted the story the same way in the past and it's been pointed out to him. Eichenwald did not claim that the leaked information was false, but showed, to a high degree of probability, that Trump campaign staffers were working with Russian disinformation operatives. It was an amazing story.
The website to MSYS2 was blocked by my high school's firewall. I think Cygwin used Sourceforge, which was arbitrarily filtered for badware risk. There were other ways of fixing that, but my point is… it'a good to have alternatives, and the browser ensures good portability.

Should I be worried about Kernel Newbies? The forum is overrun by spam and it looks like the wiki wasn't updated for 4.8.
Yes, but based off the fact that you visit HN you are an informed and educated consumer. A lot of people (more than many realize) don't even understand how bad a bag of doritos is for their health. "Oh, it's just one bag" is a common saying. You probably will portion control, read the nutrition label, etc and make a decision. Most will see a delicious bag of doritos and eat it.
I remember reading a paper a while ago with similar conclusions.

It concluded that register was faster than stack based but stack based had better code density. The reason seemed to be due to the branch prediction cost per instruction. Fewer but more more powerful instructions reduced the number of times the instruction decode operation occurred.
I think it's a disservice to lump all news organizations that have perceptible bias in with actual fake news content farms.

We're talking about fake news now because the crisis has people reflecting on how this happened. We're accustomed to ignoring garbage forwarded by grandma. The fake news creators interviewed by NPR and WaPo both said the industry is growing and has turned political.
Really? Interfaces everywhere you can possibly imagine? Is that where we're heading in Go land?
Ask HN: Interest for open source ARM v4T processor?
Hi,
I'm designing an open source ARM v4T soft processor (https://github.com/krevanth/ZAP) with cache and memory management support. Looking for feedback regarding the project. Would you be interested?
If you switch to diet soda from regular soda because of weight issues or diabetes risk, that seems like a pretty serious self-selection bias for later weight issues or diabetes risk.

No, they are trying to get more attention, power, and money. This is made especially clear by "me too" startups receiving almost all funding, and all "big talk" eventually amounting to empty words.
I know Max and I know how before PayPal he started three failed companies, maxed out his credit cards and still pulled it off in the end. He slept in a sleeping bag under the desk, working 90-100 hr weeks. Rationalize all you want, but the end result is that Max writes in NY times and you write second level comments here...

I was able to quit blood pressure meds after using a paleo diet. I'm more relaxed about it now, but honestly it's looking like sugar is way worse than fat for health.
The fact that different CPUs have different features was one of the original reasons you never ran a generic kernel. The generic kernel was just that, generic. As a result it made no assumptions. Now in Windows and later Linux and FreeBSD kernels there are kernel modules that can change behaviors but sometimes that still doesn't give you the max performance for the integer code. Fortunately it isn't that much of a burden.

That said, I'm sure HPC folks compile with all the bells and whistles for the exact model, options, and probably CPU stepping enabled.
So the title is misleading. This is not "without risk" but more "without meaningful risk".

To a first-order approximation, "without meaningful risk" basically means "without risk".

So I think they were just trying to simplify.
These experiments are mainly just correlational, they do not control the usage of diet sodas. So, of course, people who drink diet sodas are going to be heavier: they're the ones trying to loose weight and hence the ones who will gain the most weight! There's no reason to drink diet soda if your body doesn't have any problems with weight.
I cannot tell you how many weird-ass storage systems I've decommissioned. Typically people go cheap, and are burned. It can be a year after deployment, or three, but one thing all the cheap stuff seems to have in common is that it fails very, very badly just when you need it very, very badly. Usually at 3 in the morning.

My philosophy today is that if the data is important at all, it's worthwhile going spendy and getting a SAN. Get a good one. I like Nimble a lot right now, but there are other good ones, too. (Don't believe crazy compression numbers or de-duplication quackery; I've told more than one SAN vendor to fuck off after they said they'd get 20:1 on our data, without doing any research on what our data was).

Have everything backed up? Great! How long until you can go live again after water drips on your storage? If you spend a week waiting for a restore, that's indistinguishable from failure. If you wait a month for replacement hardware to be shipped, you might have killed your product.
Which of their actions are so obviously pro-Russia? I can think of some that are pro-Russia in the sense that they are attacking Russia's opponents but those targets are opposed by others as well, making the conclusion less clear. The most well-known example: is helping Snowden seek asylum pro-Russia or anti-USA? The fact that they were seeking asylum in more than Russia, it seems more anti-USA.
I think your point is right for 111 8th or Equinix/SV1/Great Oaks.

But for other sites with high value peering, including EQIX in Ashburn, Coresite, your limiting rate is likely to be the power, not the space or power. I.e. they'll "give" you 1 cabinet for every 15kw you buy.

So my assertion assumes you're doing large number of dense cabinets.

If one is doing a large number of dense cabinets, they almost certainly should not do it at a high value peering point, and should backhaul it. You should be able to get diverse metro dark fiber for <$5k/mo if not substantially less. Put a single cabinet (or pair for redundancy) of $2k/mo cabinets in Equinix or Fisher and off you go.
I would argue (and personally prefer) the opposite. The OOM killer reaping your application is easy to diagnose (it's logged) and it is obvious what you need to do to fix it. Random slowdowns due to it hitting swap could be very hard to debug if they cause issues.
I would love to see the code used for some of these instructions. Their description of "swap" for the stack VM jumped out at me:

> pop 1 st and 2nd value out of local stack and swap them

You don't need to pop at all for swap. The stack isn't actually changing size and can be modified in place. You also should only have one pop for 'add', etc. A lot of people don't seem to realise this.

Also, this article may be of interest:

TL;DR - a stack machine is conceptually simpler than a register machine, and it doesn't matter if it's slower since you are JIT'ing it anyway.
have you attempted to upgrade to an alloy based blade?

Super cool side project.
Diet soda does not cause weight gain.

Diet soda makes you hungrier, and that makes you eat more and gain weight.
> There's no software that "automatically blocks affiliate bullshit"

I'm not claiming that there is software for that. But if it becomes annoying enough I think there will be software written to filter it. Even if it needs to make use of deep learning or some other more advanced mechanism just to detect.

> On the other hand, sites whose content doesn't work well with affiliate links are getting screwed by people blocking their only source of revenue, which is ads.

This is short-term thinking. The people who block ads will not be making purchasing decisions based on ads they don't want to see. So by showing ads to them all you are doing is devaluing advertisements and driving down the cost of advertising placement in the long term.

The only way around this is to make people enjoy ads. This is possible, but it requires work to integrate them with the content and you need the content creators actually making the ads, and they need to enjoy doing it.
I would say rust, but in 2016 other than operating systems and maybe a few other select areas i dont really want to do manual memory management, GC me baby. I would say go but I don't really want to use a language that leaves about everything else good out even though it has a GC.
Facebook or any other website for that matter are supposed to get any revenue, the web was thought and designed to be non commercial.

It is monstrously expensive by design, a deliberate choice as it chose to be a central intermediary point between as much people as possible to sell ads to make money. "your failed business model is not my problem".

Make the service based on p2p and the monstrously expensive maintenance bill is gone (along with the opportunity of being an intermediary and making piles of money with ads out of it)

Facebook makes no product, user provided data is their product and they sell it to advertisers. You got it right: facebook would disappear with advertising and exists only for the sole purpose of advertising.

1. I bought a laptop with Windows 10 with secure boot that cannot be disabled. I am stuck with it. FOREVER.

2. Forced updates and forced spying that auto-turns-on after updates

3. Cannot turn off updates

4. AntimalwareServiceExecutable uses 50% of my CPU constantly. With 2 cores at 2.2 GHz, that's A LOT.

5. Crashes due to driver issues that Windows installs itself from Windows Update

6. BSODs from drivers from WU

7. More spying

8. Explorer crashes constantly and sometimes the whole computer freezes and I have to restart

Please note that this happens on multiple new and old computers, so don't give me the "oh it's a hardware issue" bullshit, my best friend who works as a PC service technician also experiences the same complaints from many people.
Even government run prisons have a pressure to keep head counts up. Like schools, they get 'paid' per head, and are always against budget pressures.

The situation is not any better with law enforcement and prosecutors. Nobody gets excited when an elected prosecutor says 'I put 2000 people into a diversionary program this year.' and his political opponents go pick out the fringe cases where 1 of those 2000 went on to rob a bank and kill someone, and use that as justification that all of them should have been in prison.

The law enforcement officer that brags about how many people he 'put away' gets kudos and accolades, while the one that let them go stays at the bottom of the ranks.

None of this will change until we as society value rehabilitation over punishment and are willing to accept the small up-front and rather short term risk of recividism in exchange for a long term benefit to society as a whole.
Goddamn, this thread is worth a few tens of thousands of dollars in consultation fees.
Rentech, in particular, data mines weak signals out of gigabytes of historical data, and has a team of PhD mathematicians working to find these signals. Each strategy has some small positive expected value, so in aggregate they can be profitable.

Two reasons you can't replicate this - 'you' aren't a team of super top notch mathematicians with decades of data, and even if you had an exact copy of their trading strategies, you don't have the capital to make the transaction costs, etc, worth it.
Light-Weight Contexts is open source
> it has only become a hysterical, existential danger RIGHT NOW.

Traditional mass media was considered "news". They had to pretend to be impartial for the magic to work. Now they never were. Chomsky and Herman documented that very well in Manufacturing Consent work.

What happened just recently is that those outlets have realized they lost control. They could not manufacture consent easily any more. They sure tried. But something broke in the machinery. So they lashed out in a desperation and came up with "Fake News".

It is like hitting the "launch" button in a nuclear war. It is mutually assured destruction. They labeled everything else "Fake News" but they also ended up being "Fake News" as well.

So here we are. What are the real news? I am not so sure. The reality is that there was never any real news. This is just a lot more people realizing it.
I wonder how long we have until we run out of x86 opcodes. Even if it's a variable-length instruction encoding, there's going to come a point where the size of the instruction outweighs any performance benefits, not to mention the effort that goes into designing new instruction extensions in a chip.

Then again, perhaps that's all that's left for Intel to do now. Evolution of marketing ploys: transistors -> clock speed -> #cores -> instruction extensions.
It sounds like a keto diet, which I adopted about a year ago and have lost about 50 pounds on (from ~185 to ~135). I learned about it most from /r/keto on reddit.
Yes, it works. I've been investing a minimum of $500/week for the past 8 years. Currently I'm investment $1000/week. I make good money and keep my expenses low, and now have more than 33x my yearly expenses in investment/savings. I'm planning on retiring early...

Bacon and eggs diet sounds very much like keto. If you don't have already critically high blood pressure and your kidneys aren't damaged for some reason, do try it out.

I'd recommend you read Reddit's /r/keto, specially its side bar, and make sure you always meet water intake goals and take your electrolytes.

I've consistently lost weight on the diet, and consistently gained it back when I abandoned it because Doritos.

Most likely ketogenic diet. Check out the /keto subreddit FAQ.
If you are trying to make a decision for "from scratch" usage (rather than to find a job), then I'd go with Rust. The main problem is its potentially steep learning curve, which could easily mean not many developers can pick it up.
A bag of Doritos really is just a bad of Doritos. When an average person eats a bag of Doritos, or even eats Doritos habitually, the rest of their life goes on no differently than if they'd never eaten Doritos. I'm sure an overwhelming junkfood addiction will have negative health consequences, but the vast majority of people who occasionally to semi-oftenly eat junk food are just fine.
x86_64 already reused a couple of short opcodes to make a huge number of long ones. From the modest size of today's implementations of decoders, it doesn't seem like instructions are going to kill x86 any time soon... except on the lowest end, where x86 already doesn't have much marketshare.

No doubt their descendants dreamed up H-1B visas. :(

But more seriously it is as true today as it was then that you can be successful in business if you set aside your morals or your integrity. We see examples of that in large companies like Wells Fargo, startups like Zenefits, and everywhere in between. The part of that which hurts is when people who have chosen that path are held up as "success stories" for others to admire and emulate.

There will always be people with limited options, and others inventing ways to exploit those limits for personal gain.
Yes we are, indeed.

>Atkins-style diets have their downsides. especially in regards to blood pressure.

Only at the beginning if you already had big, BIG troubles with blood pressure. The salt intake required might take you over the edge before your body adapts to ketosis. But only in those extreme situations and at the beginning; after keto adaptation you will excrete a huge amount of your salt intake rather than absorb it like you would otherwise.

In my opinion the problem with "GNU/Linux" is that there really is no such operating system at all. Debian contains a lot of GNU software, as well as the Linux kernel, but also contains a whole lot of Debian-specific software (most notably dpkg and apt), as well as other software (for example, X.org). If we compare, Fedora contains a lot of the same software as Debian, but also a whole lot of Red Hat-developed Red Hat-specific software (again, it's RPM, dnf, but also things like flatpak which is not specific to any one operating system).

Why do people insist on saying that all of this is one single "operating system" called "GNU/Linux" and that there are different "distros" called Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Arch, etc., instead of just calling it all a bunch of operating systems? Because these different "distros" are not compatible with each other. They can mostly run each other's binaries, and some configuration knowledge works across them, but other than that they are mostly incompatible. And they are all based on Linux, GNU, and a bunch of non-GNU software.

So if we say that "This is an operating system called Fedora, which is based on Linux and GNU and a bunch of other stuff", instead of "This is a distribution of the operating system GNU/Linux called Fedora" then we would just be better off overall. There is no more reason to fight over the name "GNU/Linux" versus "Linux" since both are pretty inaccurate anyway. There would be no more user confusion about what Linux is, as there seems to be today (e.g. people blame Linux for userland problems, or people expect program X to be packaged and get support for operating system Y because it says "Linux" on the webpage). And things like BSD would seem less foreign if people knew that it's really another operating system instead of being seen as just some weird non-Linux thing.

And if the GNU people ever get around to actually finish their operating system, then they could just call it "GNU" without causing even more confusion

They'll move 3x. When oil falls 1%, UWTI rises 3% and DWTI falls 3%. That's good for a short term bet if it goes your way. In the long term it corrodes the value.

Lets say UWTI is trading at 100 today. Oil is trading at 50.

Day1: Oil falls 47.5 (5% drop). UWTI will fall to -> 100 * ( 1 - 3 * 0.05) = 85

Day2: Oil rises back to 50 (5.26 % rise). UWTI will rise to -> 85 (1+ 3 * 0.0526) = 98.42

So even though oil price recovered, you lost $1.58. Over a period of time, rise and fall in oil prices corrodes the value of UWTI & DWTI (and similar leveraged ETFs)

> Edge's extension ecosystem is a walled garden. When it comes to browsers, I prefer freedom over performance and efficiency. This is why I'm still not switching to Edge.

That's one reason, I guess. My reason for not using Edge is that Edge still, after all this time, can't save files from the internet. That's, like, the second thing that I expect a web browser to be able to do after looking at files from the internet.

( You can test this at home. Go to visit some arbitrary text file in Edge. Let's say https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/vscode/master/LI... for example. Now save it. File menu? Nope. Ctrl+S? Nope. Right-click? Nope. )
