It is complete, if you finish the first 2 parts, which consists of 8 chapters. Then you can work on your own by reading the Intel manual volume 3 "System Programming Guide", or learning from OSDev wiki. The first two parts provide a foundation to use such resources, which I think is more important than a step by step guiding how to write an OS.
Very helpful page, thank you everhour!
Pull ups build grip strength and they recruit a lot of other muscles. Hanging is one thing, but you need grip plus lat muscles to pull yourself up over something.
I have Olympic rings that I have brought with me when working all over the world. I even had my baby almost two now hang from them when she was just one and a half years old. She held her own bodyweight for 10 seconds before my wife and in-laws flipped out. Same when I brought her swimming since birth.
I lived in SE Asia for over 8 years. The last year I lived in a Javanese village in Indonesia. The average male weighed about 140 lb plus or minus, and they could lift 130 lb bags of rice and load a truck for hours on end. I could do it at 180 lb, but not as long a time as they could. The last part of lifting it above shoulder height for me to put it in the truck was the ultimate fatigue test. That was above their heads, and more like a full press for them. I admired their strength and smiles throughout all of this hard labor and poverty.
Now I have returned to NY, and the number of obese people I see, and the number of walking aids, electric shopping carts, and other signs of malady are more striking and apparent to me.
I was running barefoot 3 or more miles a day in the rice fields and jumping rope along with bodyweight exercises. I am 52 and I have never felt better physically or mentally. It only takes desire or willpower. Also I went vegetarian over 3 years ago, and cut eggs and dairy 2 years ago.

> They went and started unilaterally backing only one candidate in the elections

Western mass media isn't a single bloc though. Did Fox News back the same candidate as NPR and PBS? In the UK did the Daily Mail lean the same way as the Guardian? Of course not. These are all mainstream media organizations with very different political leanings.

In the West most people vote for a mainstream left or right party. Most news media is made up of people with varied, but generally mainstream political views and are selling news to people with mainstream political views. But the reason the Socialist Worker newspaper in the UK has a low circulation isn't that it's silenced or marginalized by the political elite, or stifled by mainstream media, it's because only a handful of people want to buy it. If millions of people agreed with it's politics, it would sell millions of copies.

So blaming the 'mainstream media' is lazy and complacent. The reality is that the main political parties get lots of votes because frankly, lots of people agree with them. The reason people with variant political views don't get traction isn't because the mass media is against them, it's because those variants views just aren't popular. When a variant view does get popular, like Trump's alt-right flavored isolationist protectionism, he gets elected. Like it or not, that's democracy in action.

People whingeing that their particular brand of politics is unpopular and blaming the mass media are putting the cart before the horse. Maybe they're unpopular because most people just flat out disagree with them.

> It's not noise. The benchmark's result is stable

All things considered, it absolutely is noise. Unless the only thing your application does is serving templates. Even then, the entire response should be cached, both on the server and the client at first place.
America was once a white colony; your argument is factually flawed because you are stuck in the "might makes right" mentality of natural selection. Whenever resources get scarce, nature basically determines anything goes and the strongest survive. In that mentality you believe whatever you want to believe, or whatever is the most convenient to believe, as an instinctual response; effectively because of the context of the situation any action can be rationalized as moral or justified even though it is horribly sub-optimal. If you'd like I could continue this discussion with you, and we can exchange a rich dialogue involving centuries of accumulated racial slurs and stereotypes, and much like masturbation, exhaust ourselves with little actual reward. That would obviously, not be a novel approach.

There was a really awesome article on HN awhile ago describing the disconnect we're having. I suggest you read it and approach the immigration discussion as an engineering problem:

http://thefutureprimaeval.net/the-overton-bubble/

View this as an engineering problem; You are blinding yourself to finding a more optimal (we'll use the metric of dignified solution for all involved) by not fully understanding the entire problem at hand. Seek to understand the other parties viewpoint. Assume any solution to the engineering problem that results in a loss of life as sub-optimal and any solution that is not executed on a timely basis results in loss of life. Assume you and your current viewpoints are irrelevant, and any ancillary metrics such as "I want a big house and a big family" might also be impossible with a fully optimal solution.

It's only when everyone recognized the severity of the problem that any good will can be generated, and that good will is necessary for discovering the problems might not be so unsolvable after-all. But if you're stuck believing whatever you want to believe, well.

This post is going to be a great test of HN's scoring system I'll tell you that, the bias should go all over the place.

Not really. This is about MAS not iOS appstore. There's no way Apple can require MAS-install, everybody would up and leave the ecosystem entirely (too many useful tools can't even fit in MAS's restrictions) and MAS has never had much value-add for the constraints and cost.
Hans' daughter, Ola Rosling, words on Gapminder FB page encouraged me to read this, so I think it's worth sharing here:

"Hans would have loved reading this article after his death!

Thousands and thousands of wonderful words have been written about my father during the last days. I knew he was popular. But I didn’t expect this avalanche of comforting condolences. Thanks a million everyone!

All the stories have been wonderful, but last night one article made my jaw drop. While scrolling down the page I kept thinking: Hans would have loved reading this after his death!

The article was called “This is how we let Hans Rosling rest in peace”. It was written in Swedish, by someone I’d never heard of. How could this person know my father so well? Was he a close friend of Hans, whom I had never met? How could he express with such precision what my father was thinking and feeling?

After I woke up this morning I couldn’t resist calling the author, Peter Fällmar Andersson, who answered with a humble voice. He told me he had interviewed Hans only ones. Hans had mainly used the time to explain why he refused being categorised as an optimist. In addition to that, Peter only had access to the same free online material as everyone else.

Peter, you must be a very good listener! Many people didn’t hear what Hans was saying. And you must be a very good writer. Hans never managed to express his frustration as clearly as you do. The frustration of being fame, but not being listened to. And then you convey what Hans wanted everyone to hear!

Most people can not read our tribal language (as Hans usually called Swedish). So I asked Peter to translate the article.

Please read carefully.

Thanks Peter Ola Rosling"

A lot has been said about Heisenberg’s calculation of the critical mass of U 235. Many believe it to be his miscalculation. I think most people would agree that he was quite a ’good’ mathematician and yet the analysis in the Farm Hall transcript is at a level one would expect from a first year undergraduate. No mention of ’Laplace transform into spherical coordinates’, or more simply ’Fick Law’ on diffusion. When he talks about 10 tons of U235, Hahn (a chemist) reminds him that he has told him that only 50 Kg is needed. And later when Hahn askes how the bomb works Heisenberg talks of ’each neutron begets two children’ and that 1 ton is needed. A week later Heisenberg gives a very ‘polished’ lecture on the subject using the appropriate mathematical concepts. The question is did he work this all out in a few days or did he already know? Perhaps he had some ambivalence about putting such a weapon in the hands of someone slightly ‘unhinged’, a dilemma we have today!
Yes, "compile/load/execute" can take longer than simply "eval". You have to consider amortized costs: how often do you need to recompile your template (or your regex)? Likewise, are you really going to override the template at runtime or is the variable part of the template already compiled as branches in the resulting code? Whatever needs to be dynamic can be dynamic while compiling as much as possible ahead of time.

That's not how indemnity works. If Apple sells a Macbook with a flawed battery that explodes in consumers' laps, the plaintiffs will sue _Apple_ and not the outsourced Chinese battery factory. Just because the Chinese company agrees to an indemnity clause, it doesn't prevent lawyers for the plaintiffs to name Apple as the defendant on the lawsuit.

Indemnity is about monetary compensation from the other party and not some type of shield against lawsuits. That means that Chinese company compensates Apple's cost of lawyers and losses to pay judgments and settlements. To grandparent poster's point, if Chinese battery company goes out of business, the indemnity clause means nothing since Apple was unable to receive reimbursement from that manufacturer.

Mens sana in corpore sano.

You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.

Ask for a stout heart that has no fear of death,

and deems length of days the least of Nature's gifts

that can endure any kind of toil,

that knows neither wrath nor desire and thinks

the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than

the loves and banquets and downy cushions of Sardanapalus.

What I commend to you, you can give to yourself;

For assuredly, the only road to a life of peace is virtue.

Yeah, Intel will remain the single-thread king. But I feel like intel have backed themselves into a corner here.

The main reason intel is getting better single-thread performance is the higher clock speeds. I think the graphs even suggest that zen is getting higher IPC.

I really doubt Intel can push the clock speeds much higher. Intel really need to find more IPC somewhere, otherwise future versions of Ryzen (Zen+, Zen++) will overtake the intel chips as AMD refine the Zen design to improve IPC and improve clock speeds at the same time.
Slightly off-topic.

The journal article is tagged with "nootropic". Modafinil is not a nootropic, but a smart drug. There is a subtle but important difference between the two. Both types of drugs enhance your cognitive performance, but a nootropic must be neuroprotective. Piracetam, the first nootropic synthesized in 1964 is used nowadays to treat cognitive decline [1]

I am not saying that modafinil will fry your brain, but definitively it is not designed to protect it.

In my personal experience, Modafinil works pretty well in low doses. 25mg-50mg every 2-3 days lifts my mood and increase my work output significantly. The recommended dosage (200mg) is a crash and burn for me.

Why is the power draw measured in milliamps, wouldn't watts be more appropriate? The voltage of the battery drops as it discharges, so 500mA when it's fully charged isn't the same as 500mA when it's nearly empty. Unless that is taken after the voltage has been regulated, but in that case again why are we measuring the capacity in amp-hours instead of watt-hours?

NULL pointers CAN be dereferenced, it all depends on the environment you run on.
In a heterogeneous language environment (Java, Ruby and Coffeescript where I am), defining types in the application doesn't give sufficient coverage because not all languages are statically typed. Referential integrity is important, but sometimes has to be sacrificed for performance reasons (ideally foreign keys are only temporarily disabled for bulk actions). Other column-level constraints are nice to have but less critical.

For the kind of work we do at my company - involving bulk upload, bulk inserts, bulk joins - thinking relationally is much more productive than thinking in objects, and really fast key-based lookups are far less important than really fast joins. Only configuration data lives in objects; other data is served up using a lightweight translation of the result set to JSON, with no business entity intermediary; one of the primary reasons being that the user gets to define their own schema, so any object would have a variable number of fields and types anyway.

Writing the same logic in different places is definitely a problem; you want to avoid that. We've taken to putting some logic in JRuby just to be able to use the same source in Rails and Java. For other logic, we have a Java service API endpoint that Rails can call. For maintenance purposes, it's really worthwhile not duplicating very complex logic in multiple places.

Relational databases - or rather, relational algebra, even if computed over something like Spark or Impala - is, to me, worth far more than something more suited for storing objects. Thinking in terms of relations is just more productive for efficient code than navigating object graphs.

Imho people are upset at Apple because they are leaving people who do need high performance, but want to stick with MacOS in the cold.

The current laptop lineup is great, and perfect for a wide range of professions, myself included. But there is nothing for the person who wants more power, even if with more weight and cost. The desktop lineup is okay, but 3-year-old models keep being sold at launch prices, and are not practically upgradeable.

Nobody cares if HP comes out with boring laptops one year - because there's always Lenovo, Dell, etc to choose from, and for desktops you can always build your own. But if you want to stay with your software and workflows on MacOS, Apple is the only maker of Macs.

My "suggestion" for Apple would be to give up on the Mac Pro desktop line, take one high-end Dell workstation every year, and test and qualify it to run MacOS. People already build Hackintoshes, so it cannot be too complex compared to designing and building their own hardware.

This would mean that people who want to pay $10-50k, can have a MacOS computer with 44 cores, a terabyte of memory, 4 graphics cards, 8 SSDs in RAID, and so on. Add a generous "Apple tax" to make it worthwhile for Apple, and people who want the power always have one "really maxed out" option. And everyone who complains about laptops not being powerful enough can be told to get a desktop instead.

- you'd spend large amounts of your own time, or worse, money for a lawyer
