Wouldn't It Be Simpler Without a Router? Pattern for HTTP Request Handling in Go
No.

CLR was designed to be able to support multiple kinds of languages, including C and C++.

At the release event there were about 40 languages being supported by multiple vendors.

The SDK being offered across multiple developer magazines had samples for several languages.

CLR was born from Ext-VOS project, formelly known as COM Runtime, the idea being that Windows would eventually be fully .NET based.

The idea never came to be, because .NET belongs to DevTools and Windows team was never happy with it.

The biggest example being the sabotage during Longhorn development and how the Phoenix, Singularity and Midori projects were received by them.

Also CLR always had the option of AOT compilation.

Initially via NGEN, Bartok in Singularity later adopted in Windows 8 for store apps, Project N from Midori later .NET Native for UWP apps.

> Is it organised crime having piles of cash from otherwise legal activity?

Selling marijuana in the United States is not a legal activity. It's a federally prohibited activity that if you are really successful at it (simply by amount of money made) can be charged as a felony with a mandatory life sentence (in the no-parole federal system, where a life sentence actually means life.)
> Laws that aren't enforced should be repealed.

or ammended -

Enforcing all laws equally at all times is not possible. There will always be priorities and resource allocation.

Why cannabis prosecutions have now become a priority is not clear. The immediate impact and chilling effects are clear. What should state governments and businesses do while federal legislation is work-in-progress?
Point still stands, if you paid for the true cost of parking no one would bat an eye, but the current regime subsidized car use to an insane extent through inefficient land use policies. A true “market rate” bart parking spot would likely be many multiples above the current price when all costs, alternative uses, and competition are factored in.

Applying Word2Vec on our catalog data
Both the Precision 5510 and the M3800 I used to have, had issues with the battery swelling. The M3800 was a piece of junk - pretty much what I'd expect when a company that makes $300 laptops uses the same design team to make a $3000 laptop. The 5510 felt much better, but the screen has a bit of discoloration at some of the edges, and while the keyboard is great, the trackpad isn't that good. The speakers are hilariously bad.

The 5510 is a lot more rigid than the 3800 was, but it still isn't rigid enough. I could carry my personal 15" macbook pro all day with one hand while still being able to click the trackpad down. With that 5510, the chassis flexes too much for the trackpad to click when you hold it from one side. And don't get me started about the cheesy chargers Dell uses.

The 5510 was worlds better, I'll admit - and it does a decent enough job running Ubuntu! There's enough to like about the laptop, but not necessarily at the price they charge.
There's a decent chance the passwords you found aren't the actual passwords either, considering how easy it is to generate collisions for the hash function.

I find it very interesting that most of their official communication on this matter seems to be for their shareholders rather than the people who are directly impacted by using their products, as if they already completely gave up on the latter. Or maybe they think we wouldn't see through this bullshit PR speak, in which case I feel quite insulted.

My work laptop is an M3800, though the newer one is the 5510. Pretty solid machines in my experience. We did after market upgrades to some very fast SSD (sorry don't remember which).

That said- I'm staying with the m3800 as long as I can. It's a few years old and my battery needs replacing, but otherwise is very capable. Some people have had docking issues on and off with the 5510 (occasional crashing, though I think it's a driver/software issue), but more importantly it has the awful "Nostril Cam" which is annoying for video meetings.

In general, fast, light, good battery (for perspective, mine lasts 2-3 hours now, vs 5-7 when I got it), useful ports. The keyboard is not the best (home/end/pgup/pgdn keys are fn+arrow instead of dedicated) but very usable. I hated the glossy screen at first, but touchscreen is surprisingly useful and I got past it. I just keep a microfiber cloth in my laptop bag now.
Clear Explanation of How the Blockchain Works
> untrusted binaries

afaik, wasm is not 'binaries' in that it's not an arbitrary blob of machine code fed right into the cpu. it's still running in a sandbox (a la javascript) including similar limitations wrt CORS etc.
I think we're entering a new generation of controlled machines. Aerial drones, in particular, have found a staggering number of commercial and industrial uses, and many of them are operating under constraints that require bespoke platform designs to minimize weight while meeting requirements. Aquatic drones also seem to be coming into fashion. At the "that's a bit large to call it a robot" end of the spectrum, I'd put SpaceX and their auto-landing rockets in the same category (not to mention the drone ships that provide the stable landing platforms!)

It provides exposure to embedded systems, likely involves caring about communication protocols, sensors, etc. It might involve hard real-time constraints, and if you're really lucky it will also involve dealing with noisy data and maybe even a taste of applied machine learning.

That said, I could believe that all of the fun work is being tackled above the entry level.
The thesis statement here is value itself is an arbitrary concept and is such because we say it is. It's completely imaginary, often times irrational and a shared fiction. The fact that we have conventional billionaires at all is almost a ridiculous concept in and of itself, as any amount of tangible work is always done en masse, not by a singular person. Works can be created by individual contributors but it is the mass that gives them value. Put those people on an island and those works become meaningless.

In the case of cryptocurrency, the work here is being done, again, by many people. Economics is, as a fundamental matter, the study of choice. People are, for whatever reason, choosing to do both work and ascribe value to these systems, and it just so happens that these systems are designed in such a way to funnel that work into the hands of mostly a few. This is not owing to any revelation or discovery or intellectual pursuit, but represents pure greed and capitalism --- the selfish pursuit of benefit from fellow man.

Whoever says bitcoin and the other currencies are some kind of panacea that will free us from the shackles of government fiat, big corporations and stymied control of wealth need only look to stories like these, which, are proof that this is just a different and new kind of master.

Everything you say is true, but the vested rent-seeking interests of the medallion holders that for years caused untold costs to people who needed transportation, and to the economy as a whole, was also despicable. Money was already overwhelming the will of everyone who couldn’t get a cab, who had to buy a car they didn’t want to own, and who had to put up with a higher percentage of drunk drivers. Just because it was that way for decades and few imagined it could be different, it didn’t make it right.

It’s like the quote from the Chronicles of Riddick, “sometimes the only way to stop evil is not with good. You must confront it with another kind of evil”.
I hope all of my kids are avid readers, I would count that as success.
They compete with eachother on everything.

Who throws the best parties is just a small piece, an effect rather than the cause. Its who hangs out with the best sororities, who has the most power on campus, who's the biggest, who wins the most sports (which really is a meathead metric IMO)

But its not all pompous crap, they also compete for the best grades and the most successful alumni.

Fraternities are very elitist which is both good and bad, they try to find the best members, the most powerful attractive and smart guys on campus. If you have nothing to offer you probably won't be allowed in. What's offerable is anything that would help the fraternity reputation or finances.
I've been thinking of this prior knowledge as "domain reduction", or even "dimensionality reduction". The more I know about the problem, the more of the space I can just remove from the search before I start. In high dimensional spaces, each dimension removed can be loosely/conceptually like an order of magnitude.

I like your phrase too, as there are classes of knowledge about a problem that don't necessarily reduce the domain, depending on how you look at it, but can still be exploited.
I've had a number of claims against tracks I've made where the basis of the claim is a sample I've used - not a sample of a commercial track, but one from a sample library that I've bought and used legitimately, but where said sample has been used and published on YouTube before the track I've done. There seemed to be no worthwhile way of contesting it as responses seemed to go nowhere. It's not a big issue for me as there's no income from YouTube for us, but I'm sure there are cases where it is a significant problem for a legitimate user.

I work with a bunch of hardware engineers who used to work at intel and the really knowledgeable ex-intel guy I know said speculative execution has always been known to be risky but actually exploiting it was presumed to be very difficult/impossible.

Looking back, I should have asked him how intel evaluates security risks considering how much of modern day computing uses it (which makes it an extremely valuable black hack exploit since it can work on practically every computer).
Some Linux distro package modern versions of tensorflow, cuda, cudnn and nvidia which all work in tandem which makes this a whole lot less annoying to deal with.

Rightly so, after they pulled a Microsoft into Java.

Now any Java developer writing libraries is forced to write Android specific versions thanks to how Google forked Java.

No 100% support for all JVM bytecodes, so no invokedynamic support. Cherry picked packages and classes from Java 6, 7 and 8.

It will only get worse with the current Java roadmap.

Eh, I joined one when I was 25 so I have to disagree. One of my fraternity friends followed me across the country and let me live on his couch for about two years. Another was my best man. Best friends I've ever had, easily.

Yeah the competition doesn't mean as much when you get older but you still get fired up years later on homecoming when you hear your old rival got more members or a bigger house or whatever.

I'm in my early thirties now and I still think it was worth it, competition and everything.

So is this the first year that computers will actually get slower vs. the year before?
They're both leveraging speculative execution - Meltdown by executing instructions after exception has been raised, Spectre by running them when branch prediction failed. Meltdown method is simpler - just access kernel addresses, so the fix was to remove kernel mapping. But branch prediction methods are a lot more involved and fixing them has so much wider impact as you say -- I mean we're going to have live with even slower virtual calls from now on!
What are the drawbacks?

I don't get how site per process can mitigate these new attacks. It's not about reading reading other process memory, but reading kernel memory, which is mapped into every process.

I'm not saying "site per process" is bad thing. Of course it can help to prevent some kind of attacks, just not these new cpu related.

there existed "translators" from one asm variant to another in the past. [0][1]

so i guess one might use "transpile" wrt bytecode in the spirit of that. but i guess asm source files are still "human readable", where bytecode generally isn't considered as such.

I love reading a long-after-the-fact story when a key person is willing to talk. Had this story been written in 2001, it would have been speculation and hype. We wouldn't have learned about the real people and how and why they did it.

I'm looking forward to reading the following around a decade from now:

(1) The real story behind Satoshi Nakamoto, his true name and motives, and why he went silent.

(2) The Truecrypt author's story, who was he really, and what caused him to disavow his creation 3 years ago even though it appears totally secure even today.
This was posted on a lot of places are year or so ago (probably around the time it was released). I remember checking it out earlier for sure. Do you think you might've stumbled upon it from HN/Reddit and starred to show support etc?
I've read it as low-demand programs being wound down, which in one case included a CS program that happened to rely on foreign students.

But let's say from 10 artistic programs you're down to 8 or 6. Why is it a priori a bad thing?

Schools already compete on the quality of their specific programs - one applies to Berklee for music and to Berkeley for CS, but rarely the other way around. Instead of check boxing to meet some arbitrary criteria and teach anything from Aardvark anatomy to Zulu language with questionable levels of quality, the schools can double-down on programs they do best.
I just wrote about this on fogus.me: oddly enough (the book is not really long) is one of the rare books I quit maybe 3/4 into it: the ideas are interesting, but To me it seemed like the author had a couple of concepts and he just kept repeating and reformulating these over and over.
