yup, charlie loves to make fun of intel, but then, this is different.

further down, in the comments:

> The editors-in-chief of two of Americas top PC hardware and technology publications have confirmed to Wccftech that they have indeed been approached by Intel regarding upcoming Ryzen reviews. Although both said that it was business as usual. Affirming that Intels response following AMDs Ryzen announcement was what they had expected it to be. Adding that nothing was particularly unusual about the emails they received from Intel.

maybe it really is business as usual...?

If any CEO's reading this who want to migrate their companies to Working From Home, then never include managers in the decision process. In my experience managers view Work From Home as a enemy to their employment and will never let it happen.
Well, depending on your rehash trigger (i.e. if it is dictated by the load factor, not the number of reprobes), it can be guaranteed that the new array does not need to be rehashed before the in-progress migration, if you migrate at least one bucket per write operation. If you were to (sensibly) migrate many (say, >= 16) with each write, the likelihood of this happening is very low with any reasonable hash function, since the work of rehashing will typically be done many times faster than the skew can retrigger your rehash. This at least makes the incidence of a latency-inducing event of waiting for the prior rehash to complete very low.

If you rehash based on something like "number of reprobes" then it's probably impossible to absolutely guarantee that a rehash cannot be triggered before a prior one begins, but the linked approach would permit growing the backing array discontiguously (assuming an extra level of indirection to the backing array). But this would obviously incur some extra overheads, and is not entirely dissimilar to hash-tries, which also avoid any costly global rehash.

I think the class-level comment in the code I linked is perhaps the best introduction to split-ordered lists I know of (not hash-ordered; they're sorted by the reverse bitstring of the hash), since they're not widely discussed and not immediately intuitive.
I've had to resort to the secondhand market to find furniture I actually like. I've found that the Ikea-alternatives (Bohus, Skeidar, Møbelringen) in Norway is in general not of a greater quality, just way more costly, and in general, not that much better looking (aside from beds, couches, and chairs). I'm not paying 20 000 NOK for a "vitrineskap" (google says "display cabinet") at Bohus when Ikea's is of similar quality, but for 1/10th of the price.

I hear you on those Danish design furniture, often ugly, impractical, and expensive. But, I like the biggest of the "ball/egg chairs", the ones were there's enough room for two in one chair. Used to have one when I lived in Oslo, outside on the balcony. Isn't that by some Danish designer?

Untrue - you could figure out what was going on in the world before. Until people were allowed to get away with creating a media empire that could just pander to their audience.

Hence stuff like creationism or global warming denial first enjoying a campaign of FUD and then landing up on the news as "teach the debate" or other catchy jingles.

And then the internet came along and destroyed paper after newspaper. Magazine after magazine.

The remainder got bought over and committed 100% to survive in the shortened media attention world.

These pitfalls were highlighted but lost in the cheerleading and revolution of citizen journalism.

We lost many editorial boards and years of experience. That experience is now being relearned by people manning forums as moderators who don't have the benefit of mentors, or bloggers who are fighting for clicks.

The world Was made less clear. A false narrative was used to elevate spurious arguments, emotional coddling to Drive advertising.

When the internet hit, the structure gave way to the new necessities of survival.

December 2016, I arrive in JFK from Moscow and a border officer asks me about the purpose of my visit. I explain that I attend the business meeting in NC. She wants to help and informs me that I have to pick up my luggage in NYC and then check it in for my next flight. I smile and reply "fortunately I don't have any luggage". Immediately she becomes suspicious of me and asks "But you are here for a business meeting, where is your business suit?" I explain that I am IT and everyone in my company is OK with a casual style". She nods and let me go. "Thanks God IT does not really care about my clothes" I think and successfully enter the land of the free.

Well, "common sense" is not the same for everybody then. For a mathematician, the rules 1/0 = INF, 1/(-0) = -INF are perfectly straightforward and common sense (if you think about the limits).

Regarding sqrt(-0)=-0, I concede it looks a bit strange. Yet, as explained in the famous Kahan article "much ado about nothing's sign bit", it turns out to be natural when you work with complex numbers.

As for the nondeterminacy, I suppose you are talking about transcendental functions? The basic arithmetic should be bitwise reproductible.

I agree.

We did a few interviews last year, and we had a few whiteboard-ish (people could do it in their heads if they preferred) questions.

However, the whole purpose of these questions (and this was made explicit to the candidate) was to serve as an anchor for a technical discussion, and as a tool to observe them reason about a problem. And as a way to observe them asking questions, because we were intentionally incomplete (and candidates knew).

I felt it worked very well for us.

Also, sometimes such an interview would just be plain fun for all involved. We took it as a strong signal if that happened.

My original statement is slightly incorrect; you can. The commit hash is probably used as part of the signature. It would have been better to sign the commit blob directly, as Git stores the length alongside the hash from that point down in the DAG (making prefix attacks impossible).
Nice try, Intel shill.
Post here for the traffic on your website
1) Yes, Git should move to a better hash function at some point.

2) No, even easy "malicious" collisions in SHA-1 will still not break most of Git's usages. You're already trusting the repo you're pulling because of TLS, you're already trusting the commits you're getting because of peer-review (you read the commit) and a web-of-trust (you trust your collaborators). (And you're trusting commits even more when they're signed.)

> Psychophysics and perception research is widely considered to be part of psychology ...

Not according to the APA, nor how psychology is formally defined.

http://www.apa.org/support/about-apa.aspx?item=7

Quote: "Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior."

> and has strong, falsifiable theories about how sensory stimuli are encoded and processed.

Studies that aren't based on empirical evidence, that aren't based on theories about nature, cannot be falsified. We know a lot about behavior, but we have no empirical theories about it -- for that, we have to wait for neuroscience.

> I'm not sure it suddenly becomes biology because someone later found the cellular substrate, nor did it become chemistry when someone figured out the structure of opsin.

Of course it becomes biology/chemistry. But the connection between someone's ideas about the mind and biology can only be conjecture until neuroscience produces a physical theory that makes such a connection -- and at that point, mind studies will be abandoned.

> ... also describes the mind's operation in testable and falsifiable ways.

The mind is not a physical thing, consequently it cannot produce empirical evidence or falsifiability, two of science's fundamental requirements. If one psychological experiment asserts that X is so, and another asserts that X is not so, that's not a falsification, it's a contradiction. The difference? A contradiction can itself be contradicted in another experiment (something often seen in psychology), but a scientific falsification is conclusive.

All this talk about empirical evidence, theories and falsifiability may seem overly philosophical until one realizes this is how we keep religion out of science classrooms.
> The actual translation is: "A female police officer shouts at a woman whose 3-year-old is running all over the place"

"Berates" feels much closer than "shouts at", "engueuler" is not just general shouting there's a strong component of scolding to it.

Also "policewoman" if you want to carry gender across the translation, but I'd say "police officer" is just fine, french requires gendering, english does not.

If it is business as usual, that kind of makes it worse.

Then again, we have no idea what was in those emails, and wccftech is openly pro-amd, so even though I have no reason to think they're lying, they might easily still be interpreting things in an overly negative light.

Without a better overview (or at the very least somebody who has that overview and you trust to be relatively unbiased) it's hard to be sure what to make of this (IMHO).
Thanks for your reply, I hope (2) succeeds! Although I think it's concievable that it's done unilateraly, by a sufficiently big market (e.g. the EU). Although ironically the EU currently seems a lot less open to any kind of change than the US (but let's see until end of march, what the election outcomes will be...).

Edit: anyways, if you ever have any updates, interesting articles/discussion points, or need supporters for your politics, let me know!

Wow you are right. Given your example, Google Translate doesn't recognize the gender of the police officer at all. It didn't even get "sens" correct, it translated it to "means" instead of "direction" until I told it the correct translation.

Static sites are a neat solution for most web publishing these days (I built Punch - one of the earliest static site generators).

However, one of the main complaints I received was the inconvenience of using such a setup to deliver a client project (or managing a site with a team of non-tech people). At this stage most still end up with Wordpress or other CMS from last decade.

I'm working on a new project called Pragma[0] which combines the benefits of static sites with the conveniences of CMS and Web-site builders. I wrote about it in detail: www.laktek.com/2016/11/29/introducing-pragma/

hell the manual production requirements are pretty much shown to be a non issue in the linked article. making a book shelf is little different from a table and a set of machines could just churn them out.

the difference is variety. variety means no single product is a very large seller which can defeat economies of scale. the bookshelf in the article is generic and can be done on the cheap. Other furniture items tend to have more variety

Did you read the article? Lawyers and the immigration officials concluded otherwise. Your spreading of FUD here is not needed.
(Way) back when I was working with OpenEmbedded/Ångström I dreamt up sth like this: make uboot/whatever set up a HW watchdog that is retriggered once from kernel mode and then in the userspace as ususal. The daunting task would've been to implement the (platform specific) watchdog in the bootloader. Looking now, there is support for at least some platforms - nice!

Or it did and did not care, "police officer" is a perfectly valid translation for "policière", French is a highly gendered language, English significantly less so.

Not enough companies do this. User experience and ease of use is frankly one of the most important things (and this is coming from a developer).

I can't remember the amount of times I've gotten frustrated with (beautifully written) open source software, but with a horrible complex UI that takes hours to figure out how to use. Those are hours of my life I'm not getting back.

Disclosure: I've actually made a fair penny taking open source projects (not adjusting anything) and slapping a nice UI on it, doing nothing more than that. Good UI and UX matters and people will pay for it.

I sign all my commits. Github even make it easy to see: https://github.com/blog/2144-gpg-signature-verification
And I also use it in a few places e.g. for http://hashbang.sh/, we only allow signed commits into master

However, as far as I know, when you sign a git commit you are actually sign the hash of the commit.
With SHA-1 broken in the current way it essentially means someone with 110K to burn could forge a commit and reuse my PGP signature.

(Not everyone is a seasoned flyer who knows the rules!)
Why would anybody invest 110K into a collision?

The thing people fear is (1) A collision that lets you have good code pass review, then have evil code released to users; (2) That happening to Linux/Android/Firefox/Chrome; (3) The cost of creating a remote code execution exploit being lower than the market value of that exploit on the black market.

I don't know how /realistic/ this fear is. Certainly, if everyone PGP signs all their commits, it's a much-reduced risk - but how many projects mandate that?
