LLVM backend developers generally write in TableGen. Their assembly knowledge to say nothing of their microarchitectural knowledge is limited.

That may sound harsh but it's actually the point of a good compiler design (which LLVM has). You can write an optimizer pass without understanding the C parser. You can write a backend without understanding register allocation. You can get something working without really getting it tuned. You can specify superscalar machine instruction scheduling latencies without really understanding instruction scheduling itself.

But you still don't instill that actual individual in minds, and an actual, non-abstract, particular individual is occasionally crucial to a thought. Without that word you would basically go back to that activity in which pairs of folks try to find out a thing without using words. This is a bit of an auto-proof as I can't say its word.

It's not as if you can simply work around and pick similar words for that individual's particular noun, you miss almost all of a thought by dancing around it vs. using a fast shortcut that quickly aligns thoughts with low odds of ambiguity.

Although he makes some good points, I would encourage some healthy skepticism over claims and statements made by ex-Microsoft employees about a company that has changed significantly in the 3 years since he was sadly laid-off.

I know this because until I returned to Microsoft last year ... to help modernize the Windows Console, and deliver Bash on Windows ... I too was an ex-Microsoftie having left the company in 2010 after 10 years as an MSFT employee.

This company has changed and improved A LOT during my 6 year absence and, while yes, we have a lot yet to improve, I can attest that our intentions are genuine, credible and increasingly transparent, to the point that we recently published details on the telemetry that Windows collects and aggregates (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/04/micro...) and we even provide a site where you can go and manage/clear your privacy data (https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/)!

No, there is literally no distinction at all. The customer cannot possibly buy too many tickets, they can only buy as many tickets as the airline sells. So the only way to overbook is by the airline selling too many tickets.
> A QNX rep once told me they'd had problems with x86 boards that did things in "system management mode", stealing CPU cycles from the real work and messing up the response time. They had a quiet blacklist of unacceptable embedded boards.

Ah, so that was the source of QNX informally suggesting we stick to certain brands of motherboards. I always wondered about that, since it seemed to work ok. I guess they didn't want to alienate those vendors outright so they chose to informally promote the ones they were sure were good.

95% real time is funny. It's real time or don't bother. I worked with and for the QNX dealership in NL long ago.
Strongly discouraged without understanding the nuances and having server grade hardware to do it. Basically, if you can passthrough your storage controller directly to a FreeNAS VM, then there shouldn't be issues.
You might be surprised at the quality of the output (obviously I'm biased). We've tried to choose what most people consider to be the best way to style code, and many times prettier ends up formatting complex code better than I would have manually. Also, the biggest benefit that a lot of people don't realize is it allows you to quickly restructure your code easily: http://jlongster.com/s/refactor.gif

I understand if the way prettier formats your code is not the way you would like, and is more of a hindrance than helpful. But I hope the above gif shows why it is freeing for a lot of people.

Also, note that prettier does keep the original blank lines in your code. That's where most of the rhythm comes from, and we allows authors to group code however they want. The rest of it is basically choosing whether to insert a space here or there or not.

I respect your work, antirez, and I hope you at least try it once! It's totally fine if it's not useful for you though.

> If n is bounded, then log(n) is bounded, yes. But so is n^n.

Yes, but in _practice_ the difference in the bounds is gigantic. log(n) is not just bounded for all practical purposes, it's bounded by a constant that's just not that big. That is simply not true for n^n, or even just n.

> In practice, log(n) is no guarantee for an algorithm being quick.

Sure, the constant matters.

> cause thousands of really slow page faults.

Which means the constant is huge. I agree that this is a problem, sure.

> for strict enough real time guarantees and for large enough values of n, log(n) is too slow.

It really depends on what the operations are. log(n) randomly-distributed memory accesses are a problem, I agree. If you have to touch that much memory and have a paged memory system, you lose no matter whether your memory is dynamically or statically allocated. You're right that dynamic allocation can make it more necessary to touch that much memory.

By the way, I fully agree that if you want to do hard realtime and have any hope of actually shipping, sticking to no dynamic allocation is probably simpler than doing the analysis to prove that your dynamic allocations are OK.

Non-excludability isn't just about the law; it's about practicality. It might in some system be legal to prevent fire services from putting out fires in houses that haven't paid for it, but that would be an impractical system.

Similarly, critical software intended for developers is impractical to deny to them; doing so has some serious negative effects on the production process (hard to get good feedback/PRs from customers, for example, unless you expose the source to them to a level that closed-source manufacturers find dangerous to their business model).

WRT the original commons, you can make such things work in a tight-knit community that can enforce social norms (which, by the way, would take on a lot of what are now considered "government functions" in a modern society), but in a larger capitalist economy with actors that aren't inside the community, the government is the only actor that has the authority to enforce public ownership of the commons.
Data-Efficient Deep Reinforcement Learning for Dexterous Manipulation
I'm surprised that doesn't exist. When I did a lot of Perl in a team environment, we used perltidy. Helpful since Perl does little to encourage uniformity.

It could take any sort of style in, and produce any sort of style out. Things like K&R blocks vs Allman-style blocks, tabs vs spaces, line wrapping, cuddled/not-cuddled else, etc.

Edit: this looks pretty close to the same thing for JavaScript. Missing some style options, and not command line driven, but the general idea seems close: https://github.com/benjamn/recast/blob/master/README.md
30 Psychological CRO Tests to Run on Your E-Commerce Site
speculating because I have not spoken to a publicity offer at the Pentagon.

They view popular suppport of military actions as an important strategic objective because they require congressional support for their procurement budgets, and executive support (capitulation to?) for their planned operations. War is political and they do this kind of thing to manage the politics of war.

The immediate followup question then becomes: why does the Pentagon view bragging about weapons as effective for gathering political support for their wars?

I can't say that I have a clear notion of why they believe this. Perhaps because it plays to the pornographic nature of the mainstream media in the U.S., which enthusiastically embraces spectacles of violence. Perhaps because they are correct to believe that a majority of Americans are stimulated by war porn. The media certainly believes that. They get the ratings. Or perhaps you're right and its less sophisticated than I am imagining. Maybe the Pentagon really does think it's a kind of accomplishment worth bragging about.

DOS had no kernel - it was just a bunch of code that ran on top of a bunch of PC-compatible hardware. There was no separation between kernel-space and user-space.
OK, I've worn both hats - chip designer and embedded systems programmer - it makes me better at both - I get to be thye chip guy who understands software and the software guy who understands hardware - it means I get the interrupt setting/clearing logic race free and make sure all the registers can be read, and can make tradeoffs that minimise the amount of hardware we have to build.

The big issue is timing (and latency) - the chip guys are working on long timelines - they're already working on the next chip when the first chip's silicon comes back, their investment and attention is elsewhere, the software guys aren't going to rev up much before real hardware is in their laps, and certainly aren't going to spend any time on that second chip while they're still wrangling the first one - it's not so much a cultural gap between the groups as a gap in time

Except in this case there exist(ed) far less keys than demand, with the original company (Nintendo) selling them for a flat price regardless of supply vs demand, i.e. if Nintendo sells 1000 Amiibos at $25 each, they'll have $25000, even if those same Amiibos end up being worth $5000 each on the secondary market.

Hmm. I could see the day-night cycle as creating the large molecules of organic junk that the life, or proto-life, springs from and eventually eats.

It seems like having big molecules of junk lying around would set the stage for self-replicating processes to be able to "eat" the junk molecules and put the energy into synthesizing its own molecules.

>I've seen my cat to be frightened by sudden appearance in the mirror just to relax in about 0.5 s. Clearly not enough time to decide if the creature in the mirror is harmless..

Why isn't it enough time to decide whether the reflection is harmless? Not my area of expertise, but I'd expect humans to be able to parse a face or a even posture for signs of imminent aggression in that time easily. Many other animals should be able to do the same.

I'd say we are highly optimized for this, since the biggest threat to humans have been other humans for most of history, and quick judgement can literally decide who lives and who dies.
Well, that was disappointing.

Nintendo are clever with how they limit the availability of some Amiibos. The real value of the Amiibo is really in the actual collectability/rarity of the figurine. You can then make the figure more collectable as time goes on my linking it to specific, valuable in game rewards. All giving more value to brand Nintendo as time goes on.

What's a real stroke of genius though is that they make the packaging in a way so that you can't scan the Amiibo without unboxing it - therefore reducing it's monetary value. You end up with the real Nintendo fans feeling very compelled to purchase two of each - 1 for keeping boxed and 1 for actually using in games.
Oh, this was awesome. http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better... for the others.
I'm going to echo nightski's post here, with my own addition: return policies. Many of you probably don't remember what it was like in the bad old days of those quaint brick-and-mortar retailers before Walmart. You bought something, find out you already had one, or your wife just gone one, or you just didn't need it, and tried to take it back, and they basically just gave you the finger. That "wonderful" "personalized" service from mom-and-pop shops? Mostly myth. Some were good, but it was a crapshoot; many of them were the only such store in town, so prices were horrible and service was lousy. On top of that, operating hours were awful.

Walmart changed all of that. They were open long hours, so you could go after work. You could return anything, for no reason at all, for a full refund. And prices were low, and consistent nationwide. And you didn't have to drive around to several different stores, maybe even in different towns, to get several different items.

The corps found it easier to lower fares than to achieve decent treatment. They failed to understand our votes.

In the pre Walmart days apparel was way more expensive, for example. Clothing a child for a season was difficult. Pants were over $20. Shirts 10-15 in sale. Jackets: 35 - $100+

You were lucky if they had your size in everything you wanted to buy. Meant going to several different stores.

I was around for the opening of a new store in the late '60s early '70s: K-Mart. It has everything. So Meijer's had to compete and lower prices.

This apparel example happened across all items Walmart stocked. The local store had to compete on price.

> The very second that United knew they had 4 employees they had to acccomodate, their computer system should have immediately confirmed those 4 employees on flight #3411 first such that the plane only shows 66 available seats instead of 70. (Computers doing math for the win!) That way, either 4 of the customers get denied a boarding pass at the check-in kiosk, or they get denied at the gate that scans the barcode before they enter the jetway. Instead, United let all 70 passengers board and settle in their seats.

What you're describing is a race condition, to use the term from real-time software. By updating faster, you reduce the timing window, but the problem can still happen - the passengers are all in the jetway, but the 4 crewmembers are in the employee lounge and just a 3 minute walk from the gate. They can still make the flight before all the passengers are out of the jetway...
