There could be delayed steepness, but I think most people would use "steep" to refer to those moments of struggle and effort along the way, rather than the "aha" feeling of suddenly elevated knowledge after the jump. I don't think there's a term for the latter, except maybe a "satisfying" learning curve.
Spectre and Meltdown: Tapping into the CPU's subconscious thoughts

> nobody would actually choose to use your (ii) option.

That is a strong claim.
Meltdown is fairly well handled (per-process tagging of TLB entries and the separate kernel vs userspace top-level mappings solves the problem without much perf impact).

For Spectre the problem is ultimately a failure to completely roll-back processor state. I don't want to downplay the complexity but the state of the cache needs to be tracked and if speculative execution triggered loading of cache lines where the speculation was incorrect then those cache lines need to be thrown away, effectively rolling back the cache. That shouldn't have a huge performance impact but it seems to require new CPU designs.

How ironic that AMD itself doesn't have an integrated full performance GPU/CPU package (cut-down APUs notwithstanding).

> Then an app wanting undue authority would have to incur the pain of getting users to install it in a special unusual way.

Isn't that similar to getting people used to installing anything they find on the web on Windows and just pressing accept for everything?

I'd say a viable system needs to explicitly address special authority and make users are of it as an important thing, but still within the normal course of UX, to keep the distinction meaningful.

The current state of Android is in the other direction: it explicitly addresses authority for many accesses, but they're not fine grain enough; so apps ask for a lot, getting people used to accept early without having a clear idea of what the app will do in the future, making it cheap for the programmer to ask for many accesses.

Working in big orgs, I've seen before the problems that too extreme a project mentality can cause. Developers who move on to the next project on another system losing institutional knowledge, systems left to "rot" because no-one has budget to fix them or keep them up-to-date.

However, what they are describing is really a series of projects with the same team on the same system or "product".

I think there are advantages to both ways of working, but the appropriate one needs to be chosen.
Is Chinese public sentiment in favor of this ever increasing surveillance? As an American, this is horrifying. But given the reports of the high levels of crime and corruption, maybe citizens feel like it’s a net benefit.

I wonder if a mass movement to wear masks, of some kind, would be enough to at least put a damper on such pervasive surveillance.
Absolutely. I learned touch typing on my own during my O'Levels years when I bumped into a DOS-based touch typing tutor. It changed the way I looked at computers.
A Christmas miracle: Google Pixel 2 activations surpassed iPhone X
I mean....I work as a professional C++ programmer in the games industry, and until I was about 12-14, my computer time was limited to 1 hour a day during the week days, 2 hours a day during the weekend. But then I would spend all my other free time reading, and I would read programming books and game guides instead. I have "experienced" many games by reading their game guides from start to finish, without having actually played the game itself(with such strict time limit it wasn't a good investment of time in my mind). I got my first programming book when I was 9 or 10(Visual Basic for Kids) and I would write out the code in my notebook first, check for errors with the book, and then type it in during my alloted time.

Was it restrictive? Incredibly so. But maybe I wouldn't be doing what I do today if it was any different - if my computer access was unlimited and "common" - because it was so restricted I spent an inordinate amount of time preparing for each use which obviously had effects on my entire career later on.

Well, it's because our government published official diet recommendations (look up the Food Pyramid) and told us we should be eating more grains than absolutely anything else. Science on sugar has been repressed in our country, and the corn industry has exerted pressure in various ways to put corn syrup into absolutely everything. When I grew up, everything I had ever learned told me it was normal and healthy. I have more recently learned to avoid it.

I believe it’s called endogenous v exogenous depression. Someone who is considering suicide because they failed an exam is not very well described as “just miserable", even though there's an exterior trigger for their feelings.
Mm, all I can say is that it works for me. Kind of weird, yeah, but I suspect we know very little about health. There are too many variables to control for. It's not too surprising that simply dropping the manufactured stuff is beneficial.

I guess I meant added sugar. It's nuts that the food we eat won't clearly advertise how much added sugar is in it. They love conflating the two.

Nathan's hotdogs are nice because it's meat with nothing else, and it's quick to make. Bananas go bad quickly. My main diet is just apples, really, and chicken. I can't think of much else.

Kanzi apples are way better than Fuji apples, but they seem pretty rare. The peanut butter I get complements the apples wonderfully, and there's no added sugar. It says 1g with 12 servings in the jar, and it takes a couple days to go through a jar. So that's like 12 grams of sugar from the peanut butter. The apples and bananas have way more.

I don't know why it's working so well. Maybe it won't continue.

I probably gave the impression that "These are the only things you're allowed to eat," but really you can eat whatever you want as long as it fits the criteria laid out in the original comment. (No corn syrup or any of the other things I listed.) Apples and bananas just happened to taste great. Tomatoes, onions, squash, zucchini, pretty much whatever veggies you want are fine. Mushrooms too.

Also, even in US I don't think they have a machine that spies this extensively on their citizens and if there is such a system then they are screwed.

my point was, I know that Indian govt doesn't have such a system because the govt funded software contracts go to crony businessmen :P

Also, I have spent exactly 0 time in understanding what Chinese people have said because those who don't know tech and are living in their own world are flooded with propaganda by their government.

They might say that "we have a faster train in China than what you Indians have"

but they forget that in India, I can sit outside my PM's house for a protest, the previous govt fell in the last elections precisely because they were corrupt.

At least our govt doesn't raze protesting people with a tank. That is freedom. I'd rather live in a shitty but free country rather than China.

This is another case of correlation != causation. The lifestyles that people choose to lead can heavily affect their dietary choices. A sedentary couch lord is more likely to binge on pizza than a daily bike commuter, perhaps.

This is why nutritional studies in the past need to be taken with a grain of salt. We all know from studies that too much red meat can have deleterious consequences on your health. But what we don't know is what type of lifestyles these participants led. Did they also eat junk food while rapaciously devouring heaps of sugar and soda on the side?

We're not working in a strict lab environment here so there are lots of variables that we can't possibly account for.
The first problem is excessive dependencies. Just one word: Left-pad. That is a library on its own, for that one simple problem. The JS ecosystem encourages that for any problem, no matter how small it is, you import some existing lib. So at the end of the day you have 100+ dependencies on a project that is only slightly larger than a "hello world" page.

The next problem is that npmjs is "free for all". Imagine anyone could easily add new packages to the debian repo. Sure, I don't expect the debian folks to audit every new addition or update to existing packages, but there is at least some chain of trust, plus there is some incentive to not have malware ridden packages in your distro because it hurts your credibility. A distro is both, an infrastructure and content provider. npmjs is just the infrastructure, so it takes some more messups for people to consider moving away from it.
Yeah, because all they have to do is just tweak some code and re-release... /s It takes 2 - 4 years to design a chip. If Intel doesn't release the new chip they started designing 2 - 4 years ago, they waste that development cost, fall behind AMD, and you complain that they are behind the times. If they do release the chip you complain they haven't fixed the bug you just learned about a week ago. It took a year for everyone to fix their software, and you want Intel to magically come out with new hardware? Sheesh.

I think all the "Intel sucks" comments should have a disclaimer "Full disclosure: I've never designed hardware in my life, I have no idea how to run a business, I really just hate Intel and this is an excuse to vent my hatred."
What you're saying is nonsense, and I know that for certain because I have been the person who had a wonderful life and was depressed, and I wasn't keeping anything from myself.
Yes you can opt-out of anything technically. Both are fairly large sacrifices in the end.
Additionally, carbs can be more difficult to absorb if they are mixed with fibres. Sugars in apples are an example.
> I have now been seeing from numerous sources that in order to lose weight, diet dominates exercise

Indeed, and it goes the other way around too: not even counting weight in, any competent trainer will tell you that the first step to proper efficient exercise is a proper healthy diet. Losing weight then comes as a side effect, exercise being a catalyst to the diet that comes with it.

> One of the reasons is that exercise is associated with compensatory behaviors (such as increased hunger)

Personal experience: exercise comes with increased, yet highly self-regulated hunger, whereas it would slowly go unregulated when not exercising. Also, the things my body craves for are fundamentally different when I exercise than when I don't.

This, to me, comes from two types of very different feelings of what we call "hunger" (and its opposite "replete"): one that comes from stomach emptiness/fullness, and one that comes from the energy/material one needs to or has absorbed. The former is a downright lie, and exercise has a tendency to shut it down while lack thereof makes you forget the latter in favour of the former, which is then boundlessly growing because the stomach is highly elastic and is easily trained to expand more and more.

Also there seems to be a fundamental difference between both as I find the former also seems to aim to compensate some lack of dopamine/adrenaline/whatevs (this stuff is way over my head) that I get when exercising. The hunger I get when exercising is more genuine and truthful, while the one I get otherwise is more deceitful and addictive.
Same experience here, sugar shifts your taste calibration up. You become attracted to high intensity, and blind in a way, to anything of smaller "dynamics".

When I cut sugar, I started to feel tastes again, in mundane things like lettuce, carrots, tomatos; felt like a cool breeze of various sensations. None were intense or satisfying in themselves, but the whole thing felt good enough, surprising, and more importantly no strings attached. You don't want to eat too much, you don't have after taste in your mouth, no sugar spike after eating. Felt just right. With "tasty" food you often end up keeping ingesting more and more. These things add up.

It's not that they are more difficult to absorb but rather fiber blunts the insulin response. Insulin is a fat-storing hormone so the less that gets secreted, the less fat you are prone to storing. Coupling that with copious amounts of readily available carbs + fat and you're gonna have a bad time.
I often wonder about this.

The whole "modern" food are optimized/stripped to only throw sugar at you. I had the same conclusion, most natural food I can't eat more than 3 of them: apples, oranges, even strawberries they're not just sugar, they have bits of sour, acid that balance the pleasing parts and makes you want to stop after a little.

When I was sick, apples were the only fruit I could eat that left me untouched, at that time even a minute amount of sugar would make me faint.
Has anyone done research on the probiotic industry? Are there brands that are considered safer, better, than the rest?
