> A core design principle/choice in ZGC is the use of load barriers in combination with colored object pointers (i.e. colored oops).

This looks furiously like an incremental improvement of Shenandoah's model [1]; Hurray for more teams exploiting this new way of doing things. Cache lines are getting bigger, we can definitely afford memory management metadata.

The difference here seems to be that they intend to explore different uses of this metadata:

> this could be used to track heap access patterns to guide GC relocation decisions to move rarely used objects to "cold storage".

I always wondered if a relocating GC could have a subtle way of building cache-friendly layouts. I'm speculating here, but if I'm not mistaken current copying GCs traverse the heap breadth-first; and reuse this in the copying. This new approach could lead to options for going depth first at select points; For example in a JPA graph of objects, in some patterns lots of fields are never used. There is something to do here.

I think it depends a lot of which company you work for and where in the world you work. For example, there is a lot of game companies in my country and it's illegal to require people to work more than 40 hours a week.

I think some may do it anyway by free will or by social pressure, but these people are probably pretty rare. In my country (Sweden) we don't really have a culture where companies pressure people into working more in general so those who do often meet a lot of social uproar and protests.

There are no easy shortcuts to explaining the balance of war afford in WW2. The vast majority of the fighting did happen on Russian soil. The sacrifice of Russian soldiers is enormous. It's true that the Russian command had little problems with sacrificing the lives of Russian soldiers, but it's also likely that that sacrifice may have been necessary to stop the German advance.

Lend-lease may well have been the most important US contribution to the European theatre, because it helped the USSR to mobile their forces and move them around faster.

And the Russian tanks absolutely did matter. Russia had the best tanks in the early war, and those sufficiently stumped the weaker German tanks to make them rush the overly expensive and inefficient but powerful Tiger into production.

But it was absolutely a case where every bit helped. British intelligence and bombing, taking Italy out of the war, Overlord, it all mattered. But most of the blood was spilled in Russia.
'Professor' is a job description, you usually need a PhD to apply for the job, but it's not always a hard requirement. There are many more people with PhD's than Professor jobs. In my experience its the politically astute that get the job, its much less of a meritocracy than one would assume.

I’ve read about specific instances, but in general it’s hard to get funding to arrange for linguists with the desire & expertise to go to the (often remote) places where such languages are spoken, for long enough to record them thoroughly enough to be useful. Gaining the trust & desire of the people, making recordings, figuring out phonology & grammar (which native speakers may not be consciously aware of), compiling dictionaries, sometimes inventing writing systems…it can be a big undertaking for each language. And a lot of people aren’t even convinced that language death is a problem.

Googler proves any iPhone app with camera permission can spy on you
In the early stages of the war, the USSR had a lot of very different tanks, some of which were crap, some of which were the best tanks in the world at that time. I don't think any other country had experimented as much with different types of tanks as the USSR had. In production, of course they quickly settled on the tanks that were clearly making the difference: the KV tanks and the T-34.

But even then, the KV tanks were only a small part of their arsenal; the Russians had settled on three different categories of tanks: mobile tanks (their very fast BT tanks using Christie suspension), medium tanks, and heavy tanks. The latter category included the KV-1 and KV-2 tanks, and that was the smallest and most expensive group, but also the group that would always be at the center of any attack or defense.

The reason the T-34 was such an important tank, is that it combined aspects of all three categories; it was intended as a medium tank, but it had Christie suspension like the BT tanks, making it faster than most other medium tanks. And due to its sloping armour, it was almost as tough as a heavy tank (against tanks at least; it was vulnerable from the air). This combination made it the precursor of the Main Battle Tank.

I would argue the opposite is more plausible; if one is a good plumber, one is likely also a good professional plumber.

Only a tyrant would do that. But you still need to recognize that a justice system cannot provide justice unless it has power and credibility. A powerless justice system isn't a justice system at all. So there are definitely instances where "justice" is sacrificed for the sake of the "justice system".

and they will cycle the air four to five times per hour in a room that size,

Is that all the air or part of it? And does that matter? i.e. anyone knows whether smoke particles etc automatically dillute or rather stay in the same concentration given one volume of air? I mean, I can imagine if you put one of these things in the center of the room, it will take in air and spit it out, but unless there is some constant process also taking volumes of air away from the far away corners, behind tables/beds/couches and getting it to be sucked up by the machine, the machine is always cleaning the 'same' air hereby leaving volumes of air far away from it untouched and hence possibly still polluted? Or isn't that how it works because there always is some kind of air flow going on somehow leading to all air making it through the machine?

The Tiger was a response to the T-34. "At the time" means "at the start of the war". Eventually, the T-34 was overshadowed by better tanks, and the war saw enormous advancements in tank technology. Largely due to the Russians, who were ahead in tank technology at the start of the war.

At the start of the war, the Germans had nothing that could touch a T-34. Well, no they had no comparable tank; T-34s are vulnerable from the air, and the Germans had Stukas.

It's worth nothing that due to the need to churn out T-34s at a rapid pace, the quality sometimes suffered, and some T-34s were badly put together. Also, it was a very uncomfortable tank to use, and the turret of that early version was too small.

But assuming I get fully functional T-34s, I'd absolutely prefer to go to war with 5 T-34s than with 5 PzIV-Ds or PzIIIs, which was the best the Germans had at the time.
> We need to leave behind eye witness testimony.

I do not think there is anything wrong using it, as long as it is explained to a jury that the accuracy of eyewitness testimony is suspect. Similar to how they are told that DNA evidence is ~99.999% accurate, they should be told that eyewitness testimony can often be incorrect (I wouldn't provide a number value though).

Ask HN: Should I charge companies that ask me to help them use my OSS?
Programming is a hobby for me, and not a profession. Nearly everything I do is publicly available on Github under MIT. One of my projects got popular and for the two past years, every week, I've been contacted by a different small company about how to use the project. This project is open-source and well-documented, but nevertheless they usually need help in understanding whether they should use it and how they can use it. I always email back a concise reply, a link to the documentation, and a proposition to Skype if they still have questions. Usually they want to Skype.

I find myself consistently chatting with these small companies to explain how my code works, helping them port code, and helping them run servers - but I've never charged any money. Should I be charging companies for my time in helping them with my OSS?

If "yes," I have more questions:

- What is a polite way of saying "Yes, I can assist, in return for payment"?

- Should I also charge students who inquire (there are 10x more inquiries from students than from companies)?

- Do I need my lawyer to draw up consulting contracts?

- What is a typical rate for this kind of thing?

I'd be happy to hear any anecdotal experience, or references to any materials that can help me with this question!
