Of the remote management? Only this https://developer.amd.com/tools-for-dmtf-dash/

AMD hasn't really had any hardware for the enterprise for a long time so they are quite behind on many things.

This is their free remote admin tool : https://community.amd.com/community/devgurus/dmtf-dash/blog/...

It can basically do quite a few things, change firmware, boot an image, redirect USB input and likely quite a few of other undocumented things.

With Ryzen Pro launching soon I guess AMD would release a new suite of remote management software.
Another use case I had was embedding this into a graph heavy MediaWiki with convenient markup. That means the graphs are very easy to edit and will be updated after each edit with no backend magic required.
Maybe, except that it makes running in non-virtualized environments more attractive.

Honest question - why can't we have bike shares everywhere?

Looks like there are something like 17.4 million new bikes sold in the US a year and around 100 million riders. [0]

That works out to a new bike every five and a half years. What happens to the old bikes? Can't we figure out a way to standardize the components a bit and keep them in working condition as a municipal resource? Can't be that hard to pull off, and it would certainly have health benefits.

Still, the American GDP per capita is by far the highest in large countries with more than 20 million people. Countries with a higher value either have a small and easily manageable population, like Norway, an extremely large number of non-citizens as workforce, like Qatar, or a population so small that it's possible to create a generous welfare state from funds by tax evaders, like San Marino.

The two closest countries to America in this category are Australia and Germany, and a trip through Berlin or Melbourne won't make you particularly excited for the countries' infrastructure.
Infants are exempt because they are not less intelligent. They are humans with human potential. For example, it could be the next Einstein we are talking about or Elon Musk. It is yoi who is not making sense. You are doing exactly what you accuse me of doing. I don't want to eat other humans for the same rational reason I don't want to mass murder humans - I enjoy being part of a functioning human society. To equate this with eating a cow just makes no sense at all.

I had to chuckle when I read "as simple as a real number". If we are being strict, anything beyond the natural numbers really introduces quite a puzzle over what on earth is going on.

For example, we cannot represent the value of Pi in Hindu-Arabic notation; it stretches to some 'infinity' which is just bizarre and which we can't capture on paper. Saying it has a value opens up some interesting questions about what a number or a value actually is. I suspect people have very clear opinions which are all different from each other.

It's hard for a sheltered prince like Larry Page to imagine a $100 piece of property having any value at all but that's food for a month if you're poor. People rightly recognize the arrogance those bikes represent and it makes them feel entitled to take them.

I fully support a needy person that takes what a rich person considers to disposable enough to leave on the street unsecured.

In my judgement, Google has implicitly granted permission for the needy to take their bikes and anyone to borrow them.

China exports N dollars' worth of trinkets to the U.S., then buys N dollars' worth of dollar-denominated assets, the majority of which are U.S. treasuries (so China lends them back to the U.S.).

Therefore "what if China lent the U.S. $1trn ..." is roughly equivalent to and interchangeable with "what if China sold $1trn worth of trinkets to the U.S. ..." and vice-versa.

Agreed, especially for a person that needs two. You could perhaps rationalize the insurance position in the case of only one hand.

I fail to see how it's a luxury for someone that needs two.
the issue is the amount of dirt it takes to cause issues is extremely small. i've seen machines that were only used on a desk in a clean work space, and never even removed from that desk develop issues within a few months. meanwhile, i've seen previous gen models that were incredibly grimy and used outdoors with no issues. it's a problem that's ONLY effecting apple keyboards right now and that's pathetic

That said, it's still been a much more amicable argument than many on the internet. I actually think you are mostly right, and probably more well informed on the subject matter than I.
I'd still be interested to see this whole discussion framed in a creative way that avoids the term 'freedom of speech' entirely because for better or worse, it's just one of those polarizing terms that seems to degrade conversation more than aid it.

Looks like there is a fundamental tradeoff for startup time here which might prevent using racket directly as a subshell (there are ways around this such as making the racket process a daemon). I'll be interested to see if the 'rough unscientific benchmark' numbers can reach the chez levels and to see some more scientific benchmarks (I've been trying to get the r7 repo to build to run some personal benchmarks, but haven't really had time).

Fantastic work and looking forward to what the future holds!
Why high precision timing was ever introduced into browsers is beyond me. I don't see why timers should be more accurate that millisecond precision or why the timer should return different values when polled more than once in the same execution context (as an event based language).

Edit:

> Unlike other timing data available to JavaScript (for example Date.now), the timestamps returned by Performance.now() are not limited to one-millisecond resolution. Instead, they represent times as floating-point numbers with up to microsecond precision.

What a terrible idea. If this kind of profiling is needed, it should be better off as a feature of the browser developer tools, not a built-in function.

None of these examples are compelling to me either: https://w3c.github.io/hr-time/#introduction

HTML 5 audio has its own standards as does drawing. In fact, a high-precision timer is the worst solution to any of those problems.
Whoops, thanks for catching that. Powers of two catch my eye.

Nice. The right side of graph 4, with the massive drop of r-g during WW1 and WW2, bolsters the argument made I believe by Branko Milanovic eg in Global Inequality, namely that war, by destroying fortunes, works to reduce inequality.

I think they're imagining situations where an attacker could gain user-level access to a machine that normally wouldn't be accessible to them at all, e.g. a web server with a weak SSH login.

That's one of the challenges countries with public healthcare have been facing recently, along with generally skyrocketing medication costs, when medication is covered by the system (Canada has haphazard coverage, from Québec which has total coverage to many provinces which have none). New treatments are opt-in, so once in a while someone with a rare disease will be denied coverage due to the expensive nature of their treatment, or its unavailability in the jurisdiction. Until 2017, there was only one clinic in Canada which did sex re-assignment surgery, in Montréal, so out-of-province patients who want the procedure have to go jump through a lot of hoops to get covered by their own province and have the whole trip covered by their provincial healthcare system.
This is essentially what innodb does, it calls this operation "purge" as in purging dead mvcc rows, and it calls the data structure the history list (IIRC). I don't know what the exact data structure is though to find purgable rows and how it avoids contention. The main difference is that innodb runs purge in background thread(s) as opposed to blocking foreground operations.

It has potential pitfalls too though. On a system with very high mutation rate, purging could fall behind. This mainly would happen if the history list overflows available buffer pool space and starts getting paged to disk (e.g. from one very long lived transection). I don't know if newer MySQL versions make purge running off disk more efficient, but 5.5 added a config for multiple purge threads.
I find it easier to cut-n-paste (with tmux) the symbol I want to chase down, pasting it into cscope.

The reason this is better is that ctags doesn't do what I want. I may want to see functions called by some symbol (ctags no help), functions calling that symbol (two ctags operations required), or assignments to a variable (ctags no help) or even just a full-text search (again, ctags no help).

I don't need $EDITOR cscope integration because I have an easier time tracking appropriately-titled tmux windows than I do tracking $EDITOR buffers (not least because tmux windows are more general!), so I really want a new tmux window with a new $EDITOR instance. Thus the cut-n-paste approach, while it requires a few more keystrokes than I might like, works best. I could always do my own integration that uses tmux to programmatically write the symbol I want to the cscope window, but I don't feel the need.
Yeah, but there are still going to be things your children are insecure about, embarrassed about, and want to find out about without you knowing.

In my experience, ignorance is responsible for a lot more harm than "seeing too much". Going off hear-say, or just remaining ignorant is not a good thing. Having some room for privacy is important for development as people and for learning.

Yes, there is room for insight and lessons from data, but without an opt-out switch, it'll also be something that limits them. It's not just porn, there is a lot of stuff I'd want to learn about that I wouldn't want my family to know I'm learning about, if I was a child all over again.

I was fortunate in that I got to look up that stuff without fear of being discovered, and otherwise I know I'd have gone around believing playground rumours and the like.

It's easy to say "but I want them to be able to talk to me about that stuff" - it's easy to say that, but it's harder for it to be true, especially from the point of view of your child. You can't pre-empt every fear, question and insecurity, and some things will just always be embarrassing enough they'll stay ignorant rather than ask you.

I had a friend who didn't know basic (important) things about her own anatomy that caused health issues during university just because she was too embarrassed to ask her (non-judgemental, lovely) parents about it as a child. She didn't have a computer in her home then, but I'm sure if she had, knowing she couldn't have privacy would have stopped her as well.

It's not the worst thing in the world or anything, but I think many parents don't start giving their children privacy early enough. I get it's scary and hard to judge when it's perfect, but I think it's important.

On a side note, I just watched the ultimate "turned up to 11" version of this in Black Mirror S04E02 - ArkAngel, where a parent gets a monitoring device implanted in their child after a scare with them getting lost. Good series about the potential dangers of tech as it evolves, if you haven't already seen it.
If I invented a cheap machine that did all your housework and fixed your car for free, GDP would fall. Despite the fact that everybody's lives would be permanently improved.

Say a person saves his money and lends it to people in another country. He's creating wealth for himself. The other country is getting further into debt. Maybe the money is spent frivolously or invested in a soon-to-collapse bubble. Or it's spent on productive investments. Either way, the effect on GDP is the same. And it goes to the borrowing country, not the one accumulating assets (unless the borrower makes successful investments).

As individuals, trying to maximize our own GDP would mean spending every dollar we get and avoiding investments that could reduce how much we need to spend to live our lives. That's the opposite of our best interests.
Interesting question. I think it's fairly reasonable to assume that:

1) The NSA knew about it and had exploits for it.
2) Google Project Zero spoke with the NSA prior to releasing the advisory.

An exploit for such a pervasive vulnerability represents a susbtantial asset to one intelligence agency. Right up until the enemy discovers and develops the same capability.
Certainly in the case of D, adoption and real-world usage was/is a goal. Perhaps less so for MenuetOS and SymbOS, but even 'pure' hobby projects tend to enjoy public interest. They don't just live on someone's hard-drive in a basement somewhere.

That D's licensing issues are now gone, certainly benefits D.

Even if adoption isn't the goal, making it FOSS might still make good sense. Suppose the goals are novelty and technical achievement. More interest means more support in developing their novelty OS, no?
It looks awesome, thanks!

Probably a bad professional move for him to write this post and burn those bridges. It's suspicious that he didn't describe the execs interview. Normally when I've had a good technical interview the execs interview feels like just a formality, or it turns into them selling me on the company. The one time I saw a higher up override the technical manager was when the exec had a bias against consultants. Canonical being an open source company I imagine that more wishy-washy "values" criteria are given more weight.

> If more people agree with Uber than some antiquated laws, I have no problem with supporting Uber.

How do you know if "more people agree"? Has there been a public debate and a vote?

If there was a vote, it would be direct democracy, which has some serious drawbacks. One is that most people have very little time to become informed on these issues; that's why they elect representatives to deal with them.

Finally, straight majority rule is just mob rule. Someone said, 'democracy must be more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner'. What if the majority wanted to take your house away? Take your business away? Stop someone from speaking? Stop the minority party from accepting donations? That's why we have the rule of law, not the rule of the majority.
I was looking for something like this fairly recently. I can't remember what I actually searched for, but I didn't find this.

It took me a minute to understand what interactive narratives were. It's not a term I've really heard before so I imagined something more like a text adventure. I'm so glad I clicked the link anyway because this is pretty much exactly what I was looking for and it looks like it will work great.

I really like the project and intend to try it sometime soon. I am trying to understand how mature this project is. The git log seems to go back almost a year but there does appear to be quite a lot of development. The examples seem to work well enough for me to believe this project has enough features to be useful.

The documentation is rather polished and effort clearly went into it, especially with the animations. The thing that keeps slightly perturbing me is that it seems like it would have been less work to show the actual widgets. It seems like the tooling should be able to provide interactive narratives for using the tooling. Is this a long term intention or is it seen as outside the scope of the project? To play with the widgets themselves in the documentation seems like it would be really nice.

Eh? I'd argue that the basic "theoretical" result (from equilibrium models such as CAPM and its modern cousins) is not that, but:

* for optimal portfolios: more risk -> more return

* however, idiosyncratic risk of a security doesn't matter (as it can be diversified away)

* what matters is systemic risk, ie correlation with the market return (or state of the economy): something that is negatively correlated (ie protects you by returning higher returns in a bad economy) is worth more, thus has lower returns
It's absurd to justify theft, even if it's unsecured. If those people need food, there are organizations and charities that are out there to provide for that.

I'm not sure how you can fully support the idea that you should take from the rich. With that concept, I should introduce someone poorer than you and have them take from your wallet. (It demeans how they, "the rich", got there, it demean's society's valuation on their work)
I would say that ideally, you have a dev tool feature to make the function available, and just have a stub by default that returns a constant or a low resolution timestamp. That way, you can still do whatever kind of custom instrumentation you want, but it's not sitting there waiting to be exploited in an end-user's browser.
