35 miles seems small enough to not worry about it - it's just a half hour drive! It's still months away, I'd hope you could reschedule that conflict.

I have several hundred miles if I wanted to go to the totality zone. But I'm still curious what it will look like in the difference of 100% vs 82% at my home.

the reason people don't want to use threads is because they're afraid of having to understand race conditions. At that level, "you will have to understand race conditions no matter what" is the wisdom I derive from this particular metaphor.
Let's go further; I believe Firefox should compete against ChromeOS. The web is the ultimate platform, Mozilla should know that, but now it's more and more Google's platform.

The reality is that Chromebooks and Chromeboxes are great computers for the masses. They're safe, secure, always up to date, no virus. They're great for the elderly, schools, public libraries, etc.

You can buy a 85$ Chromebit dongle you plug into an HDMI port in your TV and you can browse the web on your big screen, watch Netflix, etc.

Where is Mozilla? Nowhere.

| if you'd like to know about the history of the technical ability of spies ...

again, just not the point. This _essay's_ argument would be completely valid in the main, regardless of what technical ability exists _or is falsely claimed to exist_, because the problem is one of power politics, emergent properties of _homo_sapiens_ in 20th century-style bureaucracies, and the cultural history of western intelligence services.

And come on, maybe reconsider the assumption that your interlocutors haven't got the requisite historical background. If we're comparing bibliography size, you may find you come up short, given the number of FOIA-request documents from FBI and CIA I've been through in the past 15 years, not to mention secondary sources on intelligence outfits from around the world.

Here's a fun example of the organizational madness of the US's chief counterterrorism bureaucracy, the FBI. During the late 40's and 50's there was a fear that the Ruskies would target homosexuals in the State Department for blackmail. This lead to all sorts of purges and ugliness, but crucially, the only case of a homosexual's being suborned in
this manner was one in which the FBI itself blackmailed a State Department employee to prove that it was a threat.
There is simple rule for that: do not touch shared state outside of relevant critical section.

To some extent the cited problem is unique to Java, because the whole monitor concept just creates confusion about what synchronized really means (and also creates significant overhead by making literally everything usable as mutex). Pretty common misconception is that synchronized is akin to some kind of read-write lock (in which case the code above would work as expected).

Us cyclists are responsible for our safety too. All too often I see cyclists:

- running reds and stop signs
- riding without helmets (it's all fun and games until you fly through someone's rear windshield and die because helmets are too ugly and bulky for you)
- riding on the wrong side of the road

It would have been hard for us to get the real-world battle testing needed to get Servo's style system into shape without rolling it out in Gecko.

Man oh man I used to think the same but I took infosec training.

That taught me little. I held onto the belief hacking a target by website is only for really dumb victims.

Then I started reading Bug Bounty reports on HackerOne and BugCrowd and was terrified at people doing account takeovers with CSRF attacks on oft overlooked functionality in no name sites like Twitter or FB.

That humbled me real quick.

As an aside, FB has to put a stupid interactive prompt to not open the browser JS console unless you type a key code. In an era where people will misguidedly copy paste into that, it is real brazen to believe token stealing and other CSRF vectors are not footholds and do not really happen.

I don't know where they get this statistic from. Is it provable? In Sweden they separate cars and bikes and there are much fewer accidents as a result. I heard a cyclist had thrown their bike at a horse because they felt the track was 'bikes-only' (it wasn't and an incredibly stupid thing to do even if it was). Everyone will say cyclists do this, motorists do that, stupid jaywalking pedestrians... blah blah. People are dicks whatever mode of transportation they use and the law should reflect that.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard "thread programming is hard."

I've programmed using threads for 23 years. I've never had a non-trivial debug issue caused by trouble using semaphores, mutexes, and shared data. It's no harder than writing a hash table or balancing a tree.
I just tell them to myself and think about them. Then as soon as I can I explain them to someone else and see if I can get them exited about it (and me too). That's it. IMHO if an idea is good enough that you and others would be passionate to build it and the world needs it, then it will stick with you, all the other stuff is garbage anyway, you can just let it go. This is the method I use for writing and storytelling as well as for my software projects and it is by far the best way I've found of keeping a currated high quality list of my ideas.

Pulled over, off the street, on a bicycle in Palo Alto to comment...

In California, it's the law for automobiles to give bicyclists 3 ft / 1 m of clearance. https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2014/09/16/3-foot-buffer...

Other things like bicycle lanes and intersections need to be designed to minimize risks like in the Netherlands.

Bicyclists and drivers have responsibilities to follow safe practices like:

- not running stop signs

- using proper reflectors, clothing and lighting

- not getting too close to other traffic or occupying their blindspot(s)

- not getting caught between curb and turning vehicles, and turning vehicles eliminating space to prevent bicycles from occupying space that is unsafe.

- not riding on sidewalks because it's mostly illegal

From what I have read about transplants, I would not automatically assume the figure above is inflated. They seem to generally be quite expensive.
I also fell into the same ambiguity trap, and I think that the objection about explicit wording is a fair one to make.

"What proportion of two-children families with a boy born on Tuesday have girls?" seems completely clear to me. I would have answered that question relatively quickly.

But the original question had me very confused. I felt a strong desire to ask more about the situation. A great deal of my intuition wanted to say that "well there is nothing special about Tuesday... Any boy that he has is going to be born on some day of the week, and if whatever day of the week that son is born on is included as this line item in the question, then that line item is irrelevant."

I wouldn't have fallen into that same trap in the case of the "What proportion of two-children families..." version because the "Any boy that he has is going to be born on some day of the week" logic doesn't apply.

Tuesday seemed like it might have been arbitrary in the original question, where it seems explicit in your rephrased version.

Well even 4 numbers of 10,000 combinations. Say they lock the account out after 100 wrong attempts (hopefully), then assuming you don't choose 1234 or 0000 then you're pretty safe from a brute force attack.

I'm guessing they require this so you can type it in over the phone, that's the only sensible reason I can think of.
Yahoo doesn't break out the numbers so we don't know how much revenue any of the companies they acquired are bringing in (profit would be even more difficult because of shared resources).

A certain amount of "visibility" problems are cause by drivers too, if they are too close to the car in front then they lose peripheral vision, or they're driving too fast or some combination of the two.

Sure a rider dressed completely in black at night will be hard to see, but if you can't see a cyclist in front of you in broad daylight and have enough time to react to them then you're either driving dangerously or you're eyesight isn't good enough to be driving.

There are definitely valid criticisms on the application of zero tolerance policies; I agree that bullying in school is a go to for overreaching. But sexual harassment and harassment in general have pretty rigorous tests (repeated, stated to be unwanted, etc.) and a good HR organization will vet complaints and sort out the frivolous or vindictive or whatever from the serious allegations. The latter is where zero tolerance applies.

Those are the same thing. You're just calling them by different names.
Sure, but the point is that outside of embarrassingly parallel problems you need shared memory access. You can simulate that with message passing, but for many problems the overhead of message passing is too great. I'm specifically thinking of linear algebra routines. I'd like to see someone write a performant BLAS implementation that doesn't make extensive use of threading
Making a claim while not explaining your reasoning is a sign of a low quality post that provides no actual contribution to the thread (and more often than not, of trolling) which justifies downvoting the post, no matter who the creator.

Where I work, engineers hire engineers. You are right on some level that it is hard to know exactly what a company does, but for many jobs in software that isn't entirely true. Read the companies blog, look at their open source projects, use the product, and most importantly read the job posting. I really don't think you'll have to make something up if you really are a good fit for the role.
If it was more practical to source hardware skills and develop fpga components there are quite a few companies and academic institutions interested in exploring direct hardware acceleration.

Major number is incremented when any user facing data or setting changes (ie, ~/.chrome might not be backwards compatible anymore 100% safely).

Minor number is incremented whenever.

The number that is most important is the third number, the four digit build number, which increments monotonically and never resets. That is a more meaningful number than the first two, IMO anyways.
> Don't plan to drive anywhere on eclipse day (90% of the US lives within an 8hr drive of totality, so traffic will be horrible).

Speaking of driving, anyone from the Seattle area have any thoughts on the best approach?

The first one that comes to mind is to take 5 down to the path of totality.

The second thing that comes to mind is heading east toward Spokane, and turn south at Yakima and head on down 84 to somewhere in totality.

I've driven the 5 route a few times going between Seattle and California, so I know the roads are reasonable. The big unknown will be traffic. It will have a lot of people from Washington heading down plus the Portland crowd.

I've never headed east from Seattle past, I think, North Bend, so nearly everything on the second route is completely unknown to me.
If you're talking about MPI and its use in HPC, you might've been mostly correct 5 years ago. Now, HPC applications at the largest sites are hybrid MPI+OpenMP (or some other threading model, or they use GPUs). On Xeon Phi systems like the latest Crays, you pretty much need OpenMP to take advantage of all the cores. The PPC A2 processors on the (formerly #1, now #4) Blue Gene/Q system at LLNL won't get full instruction issue per cycle unless you use multiple hardware threads (the threads are exposed to the hardware and each core will only pull instructions from a single process at a time, so this is somewhat unlike hyperthreading on Intel chips).

There can be overheads to running very large numbers of MPI processes, depending on how scalable the MPI implementation is, and there are overheads to having too many threads contend for memory on a single node. At least in the current state of things in HPC, there is a delicate balance to choosing the right process-thread ratio, and it differs from application to application and depends on the node count for the job. People struggle to find the sweet spot, but we're definitely not running all MPI anymore.
Craigslist: That lawsuit came well over a decade after it launched, so that's not an example of something startups are forced to do to succeed.

Github: The point I'm arguing against is the idea that startups have to use exploitative and legally questionably business practices to succeed. This Github thing sucks, but it doesn't really have anything to do with business practices, and obviously nobody is arguing that startup leaders have to to be sexist to succeed.

PayPal: That scandal looks like it's related to PayPal Credit, which they acquired a decade after PayPal was founded. Not an example of something startups have to do to succeed.

Twitter: This is somewhat debatable, but it's a reasonable point. Maybe Twitter wouldn't have succeeded if it tried to stamp out harassment early on.

Square: Similar to Github. This sucks, but it's not really relevant to the point I'm trying to make. It is possible and relatively common for a startup to find massive success without relying on exploitation and potentially illegal business practices.
