I wonder if that is why I didn't hear of any high-school reunion yet. Last year was my 10th anniversary of graduation. (Although, it might just be that reunions are not as common in Germany. Maybe noone bothered to put one up.)
I see a lot of people in this thread pulling the trigger of this "being an invasion of privacy".

While this is true, I can't help but to feel that the Hacker News crowd tends of see only one side of this issue.

They are not asking smartphone companies to introduce backdoors in their products. They are just trying to make sure that police has the right resources to be able to solve investigations.

To be honest, this sounds reasonable to some extent. When someone gets questioned by the police, you expect the person to tell the truth. If the police gets a hint that your smartphone might have significant evidence of some sort of crime, isn't it reasonable to comply with the request?

It's not like they are asking to access it remotely from anywhere at anytime.
It was meant as a response to OP basically saying that hardware vendors make way fewer bugs that the software ones, which is true, but many bugs of software can arguably be attributed to hardware design, so it's not like they're without fault. Rust has nothing to do with it, not sure why even bring it up.
They successfully got the evidence scrubbed from the internet. That must have been expensive.

SE/QA/Prod/Mobile - No piece of software can see such broad use by millions without constantly evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of users, the ever-changing blend of user agent / browser software, and the ever-changing and hostile environment of the internet itself. If you think you've ever seen a complex internet-based software project simply become perfect and then need no further changes for a decade or more, you clearly don't understand software engineering.

Discovery - This is about discover-ability of the content itself, e.g. search engines both internal and external, and other related matters.

Research - Try branching out a bit from the links and information at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Research_a... for a more informed opinion

Security - Actually, a lot of people care about hacking an encyclopedia. Just on the server side they care about hacking the ~1000 servers that are servicing or operating on the private data of millions of users.

Traffic - It's a sub-set of Operations that deals specifically with the edge of the foundation's network (e.g. CDN-like things, for which they don't outsource a commercial CDN mostly for privacy reasons: spreading edge caches around the world, low-level performance optimization, SSL encryption, etc).

Cloud Services - This is where the foundation hosts virtual server resources for community volunteers to experiment with and run projects and products of their own that are relevant, e.g. "bot" software that patrols articles for likely vandalism attempts and such.
I've been lifting weights since I was 14, so no exercise recommendations. I did the stretches, but I was doing that prior to seeing them anyway.

In my case, the problem was something called weight lifter's shoulder. Not something that can be fixed by a chiro, but they were happy to take my money for two months while providing no diagnostic value.

It depends on what resources your code uses on-chip. If all threads are contending on the same resources, then you won't see a speedup; if they're using different resources, hyperthreading can increase throughput significantly. I've seen hyperthreading give me the equivalent of 50% of another CPU, particularly when I'm running multiple CPU-bound processes concurrently (so they're not executing the same code at the same time in some kind of parallel operation, and certainly aren't bound on synchronization primitive overheads).
My db issues for last ten years have frequently been a mix of bad query plans and terrible orm layers. Doctrine in Symfony rarely yield good queries in mysql for us.
We've been moving away from orm where possible because we don't need to support multiple databases. Further if I switch my db to postgres I'm changing out everything else anyway to remove php from the codebase.
I didn't write the original code but my team has to maintain it. The orm makes that hard actually compared to staight sql in the end.
I would buy this if not for the fact that:

1) simply asking for a modicum of respect is often conflated for political correctness

2) liking the wrong kind of music or finding the wrong hairstyle attractive garners a person this kind of treatment - which is the context GP is referring to

and

3) these words are used as silencing tactics in the same way 'racist' and 'bigot' are
Hmmm... on that note, if the universe is a simulation, then a bug in that could have some interesting ramifications.

"Don't use the bookshelf over there, physics is broken on that shiny spot." :D
That's absolutely true. When it comes to CPU/memory, skilled software engineers always think, "it must be my bug, it always is".

So in that super rare case of actually running into a CPU defect, it's a mindfuck, it'll drive you crazy. You'll be looking for the flaw in your algorithm which makes it fail once a week under production load. But you just can't find it, it makes no sense ...

(When it comes to drivers for network/storage/graphics etc devices, it's a whole different story. Those things are piles of bugs that need work-arounds in drivers.)

It appears we're at the inflection point where even natural gas (in addition to coal) is getting pushed out of the generation mix. Good! About time.

This may require paying natural gas generators for their ability to quickly throttle to back renewables, but only as a temporary measure until utility scale batteries fall in cost.

It's not either-or, advertising and virality (what you're calling "n", and the cool kids in the back of the room call "k") go hand-in hand.

K > 1 is a runaway train, hold on. It happens rarely and apparently when it does, it's the ride of one's life. (Apparently, anyhow - I've never experienced it.)

K < 1 is still extremely useful - think of it as a marketing amplifier. So if you're paying $10 per click on Google Adwords, an your conversion rate is 2% for those clicks, you're paying $500 for one customer.

Implement some application flows that incentivize referrals, get that k to, say, 0.25, and now that $500 is getting you 1.25 customers - and your cost per customer has dropped to $400. That allows you to outbid your competitors for those adwords. (Except of course that they're also focussing on virality.)

Company culture does not change like that; and in most cases not at all because upper management has to be willing and able to pay for it not just assigning resources but tolerating significant hits to the bottom line (by example, foregoing opportunities for growth, or letting go unrepentant repeat offenders with irrepleaceable know how).

It wouldn't be a big deal if this was just software, but the fact that Intel allowed a PROCESSOR bug to be reported, tested, and fixed without telling anyone that the bug actually exists is honestly horrible. You can't just let CPU bugs under the run since it can throw the stability and reliability of the entire system into question. The people that reported it shouldn't have to dig through Intel microcode updates and test different fixes to see if the bug they found was fixed. Hardware manufacturers (especially processor manufacturers) need to be held to a higher standard when it comes to bug reporting and this kind of behavior really has no excuse.
> short loops of less than 64 instructions that use AH, BH, CH or DH registers as well as their corresponding wider register (e.g. RAX, EAX or AX for AH)

This is yet another of the many places where the complexity of the x86 ISA shows up and makes its hardware implementations more complicated: the x86 ISA has instructions which can modify the second-lowest byte of a register, while keeping the rest of the rest of the register unmodified (but AFAIK no instructions which do the same for the third-lowest byte, showing its lack of orthogonality).

For in-order implementations, like the ones which originated the x86 ISA, it's not much of a problem. But for out-of-order implementations, which do register renaming, partial register updates are harder to implement, since the output value depends on both the output of the instruction and the previous value of the register. The simplest implementation would be to make a instruction depending on the new value wait until it's committed to the physical register file or equivalent, and that's probably how it was done for these instructions for these partial registers before Skylake.

For Skylake, they probably optimized partial register writes to these four partial "high" registers (AH, BH, CH, DH), but the optimization was buggy in some hard-to-hit corner case. That corner case probably can only be reached when some part of the out-of-order pipeline is completely full, which is why it needs a short loop (so the decoder is not the bottleneck, AFAIK there's a small u-op cache after the decoder) and two threads in the same core (one thread is probably not enough to use up all the resources of a single core). The microcode fix is probably "just" flipping a few bits to disable that optimization.

And this shows how a ISA is more than just the decoding stage; design decisions can affect every part of the core. In this case, if your ISA does not have partial register updates (usually by always zero-extending or sign-extending when writing to only part of a register, instead of preserving the non-overwritten parts of the previous value), you won't have the extra complexity which led to this bug. AMD partially avoided this when doing the 64-bit extension (a partial write to the lower 32 bits of a register clears the upper 32 bits), but they kept the legacy behavior for writes to the lower 16 bits, or to either of the 8-bit halves of the lower 16 bits.
This is meowvelous.
Which happens to be how often the cats want to be in the headlines.
It depends on how exactly you define a bug, but something like a 6502 or Z80, which has essentially all the errata well-documented since it has existed for so long, might qualify.

What I meant is that learning songs by ear makes you a better musician because you are effectively doing ear training at the same time. Ear training is an important part of growing musically that many people over look because it is tedious, but it's what allows experts to play what they hear in their head when improvising. If you just play what's written out on a page, you won't benefit as much in this regard.
1. There is no clear evidence that illegal immigration has a meaningful influence on wages. Undocumented people mostly do jobs Americans refuse to do. For the past 30 years wages haven't kept up with productivity growth, I'm sure you've seen the charts. Meanwhile expenses for housing, education and healthcare have exploded. Framing immigration as the primary cause of economic stagnation is wrong, because it is a minor influence at most. The way Trump talked about immigration was transparently racist, and it's the same Southern Strategy rhetoric we've seen time and time again.

2. Voters didn't choose Trump just because "he acknowledged issues". This election was a referendum on race, and that's what got Trump in office. See for instance https://www.thenation.com/article/economic-anxiety-didnt-mak...

>How many people in the electronic genre could play Bach?

More than you might think. A.G. Cook and Danny L Harle are arguably the most influential figures in contemporary pop and are both classically trained composers. Harle has worked with Carly Rae Jepsen and produces some obnoxiously saccharin pop music, but he has also released an album of harpsichord duets.

The heart and soul of electronic music isn't melody or harmony, it's timbre and rhythm. There's a grammar of timbre which completely eludes most classical musicians.
There are multiple transmission line projects in progress in the US to drag wind energy to major load centers. Solar can be produced anywhere of course.

Natgas exports may increase, but it appears everyone is getting off of fossil asap.

You cannot compete against an energy source with no fuel cost.
>That's not really relevant. You only need to check if the equations hold if you don't understand the math involved. You've already lost at that point.

You have no idea how much understanding I gained by doing such 'quick checks', sometimes even during exams. Just a little sanity check to be sure you're still on track.

Besides, inserting 1 for both x and y is an actual mathematical proof that the equation does not hold! It's always a fantastic thing to strengthen your understanding with formal proofs that you came up with by yourself.

> Solar can be produced anywhere of course.

I take issue with "of course". It will be always be wildly more economic to produce solar power in places with a lot of sun. And without checking, my ballpark guess would be that you get at least 10 times more solar energy out of a panel in Texas than a panel in, say, Canada. Our eyes are just so good at adapting to different light levels that we don't notice the different energy densities that much.
EVERYBODY PAUSE!

This is not abnormal at all (in itself). If you were going to lend money to a software company, what else would you take as security other than IP?

A floating charge is just there to establish the bank as a preferential creditor in case they default. Otherwise if the company became insolvent, the bank would only be entitled to its share of what is left of the assets in proportion to what they had lent. If the bank expected them to default then they would not have lent them any money! A floating charge does not mean necessarily that the bank would be entitled to those assets, if they were of a higher value than what the bank had lent them, for instance.

I just took a look at the December 2015 accounts and they show that they burnt £1m in the year, and had £1.1m left. Again, the bank will know their provisional 2016 numbers and their forecast by now, and would not have lent them money that they didn't have the cashflows to repay.

The game may be rubbish, the project may be a failure, but a registration of a charge is not a cause for concern in itself. Maybe for instance, the company saw an opportunity that needed more cash?
The problem is that as this stands, they can force almost anyone. They need probable cause to search my home, but not to unlock my phone. And I'd rather have them look through my clothes and possessions than all my mail and private conversations...
Meanwhile to search my house you need a search warrant. I'd feel more violated in my privacy by someone snooping through my phone or computer than by someone searching my house. With a search warrant this would be a different discussion.
But it takes a lot of "playing" with math to understand the value in thinking that way. Similarly to how some people start out programming with LOGO or BASIC or bastardized javascript, people who start out in math need some extra help in order be put in the right mental place before they can think about it "correctly."

> Intel allowed a PROCESSOR bug to be reported, tested, and fixed without telling anyone that the bug actually exists

That's just not true. Intel published the erratum in April: https://www3.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/document... - search for SKL150. It was also clearly noted in Debian's intel-microcode changelog on May 15: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/non-free/i/...

They absolutely should have followed up to the OCaml people's support ticket. But sloppy followup is an issue that every large project encounters.
Debt at a negative real interest rate is literally free money. Investors are judging it's better to get a guarantee of slightly less value (slightly more nominal money), than invest it in riskier investments where they might lose a lot more. Furthermore investment in the right things (which I admitted above can be hard) should promote growth, thus growing away the debt even more as a % of GDP. This is all pretty basic economics.
I've used Little Snitch a few times and have ended up just "always allowing" things because there's just so many network connections things say they need.

I started using it again a few months ago, and this time I banned myself from "allow all" except for things that I trust/reallly need... It's painful, but also just incredible how many superfluous and obviously-metric-gathering-disguised-as-a-feature apps do. They are relentless.

Apple itself is the worst, with Google being a close second (google update is VERY serious about keeping your shit up to date by checking every 30 minutes... don't want to miss out on something!). I'd love to see some real-time visualization they must be doing with the constant geo/metric data they are collecting: it would be fascinating!

But I'm not getting paid to provide them with that data, so thanks lil' snitch!

It's surprising that this is allowed to happen by the Texas GOP lege.
