Well, as I said in the first sentence, the article is not only about Rust. I didn't want to write the next "memory safety is great" post, there are enough of those. I just wanted to present interesting problems and pitfalls I came across in 2017 and how I solved them using Rust.
You've gone a bit off the rail here because most people in the US don't get pensions and we aren't forcing tons of people to die in the street.

I think you are confusing pensions with social security. Social security already provides that bare minimum mandatory safety net.
The attacks do not rely on recovering from SIGSEGV. The speculated execution that accesses out-of-bounds or beyond privilege level happens in a branch that's predicted-taken but actually not-taken, so the exception never occurs.
Right, but an LLC is still a separate entity. nsgi's question, as far as I understood it, is why an individual can't be a non-profit without incorporating it.
I'm sure they could raise more money but interest would probably be too high for it to make sense. They're already at a B- rating, a downgrade at any of the rating agencies would put them on the lowest (non-defaulted) rating. New debt would then probably carry 8-10% interest. Probably cheaper to raise equity by selling part of the company to another manufacturer.
I don't know if you are joking but let me draw a real life parallel here. Target was hit by an attack in 2013:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/maggiemcgrath/2014/01/10/target...

But do you know they were hacked? Through their HVAC vendor:

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/02/target-hackers-broke-in-...

Now the defense - "It wasn't us but the HVAC guys who had weak security" would have been stupid because they were responsible. They were fined 18.5 million dollars:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/05/23/target-pay-1...

So using this kind of logic is like being an ostrich. And UIDAI for better or worse is being an ostrich using the same logic - "It's not us but them" over and over again.

If it wasn't for the mandatory stuff government is doing, people would have ignored and junked Aadhar a long time ago.
I seriously doubt the disease model of alcohol addiction is analogous to Internet addiction...

But there are support groups for almost everything, and there's always talk therapy for your own individual struggles.

It is not enough. The cache line still need be evicted (or at least marked as no longer exclusive) from other cpus, so the side effect is still visible.
Those scooters are to help the five year olds keep up with you while you walk about town for the day. The alternatives include taking more taxis or getting a stroller for your five year old. They don't exactly serve the same purpose as a bike for a 10-year-old who lives in a cul-de-sac.
Some context from Wikipedia:

"Development for TempleOS began in 2003 after Davis suffered from a series of manic episodes that left him briefly hospitalized for mental health issues.[1][4] Davis is a former atheist who proclaims that he has had "communications" with God, and that God told him the operating system he built was for God's third temple."

There's a lot to be said for getting a solid eight hours in every night.
I think it comes from not really having a grasp of a lot of the real BS involved in science, which you can really only know from first or secondhand experience. A lot of the magic and awe I found in science was beaten out of me by having close friends and partners who were lab techs, doctoral students, postdocs, etc.

I really hope knowledge of how the scientific process works in practice becomes more common among engineers though, it's very frustrating when someone takes a study as being the word of god, and you can't convince them otherwise, because science. Like some 3-4 years ago there was some lab claiming to be on the cusp of having a real cold fusion prototype, and people just buy in because they want it to be true, and the lab had written a paper.
I would suggest going to a few AA meetings and just sitting in the back. You might be surprised what you pick up just by being a 'fly on the wall'.

Also: Not all meetings are the same. I would suggest finding one that uses the Big Book of AA, doesn't allow cross-talk (they shouldn't be trying to solve each others problems), and seems 'healthy'.
In terms of melodies I think trainning off lead-sheets is far better than raw midi. The reason being is when humans generate melodies they can anticipate implied harmonic structure. i.e.Chords. You folks might be interested in a leadsheet dataset i'm creating for the purpose of generating melodies: https://github.com/shiehn/chord-melody-dataset

The Heinz Dilemma is not evaluated based on your decision but (as you correctly note in passing) based on your reasoning.
They had $21.9bn liabilities in Q3 2017, compared to $489m in 2011. Couldn't find 2008 numbers but sure that debt was much lower then. Bankruptcy doesn't just mean having low cash levels, it means not being able to serve debt in time. That risk has increased meaningfully with increases in debt. Missing the coupon on one of their bonds by just a few days would put them in technical default and could trigger bankruptcy.
So all that needs to be done is make 64GB L1 on the die...
That workaround makes me happy. Thank you - much appreciated!

Except you're wrong. Material and non-public are not sufficient conditions for a trade to be considered insider. I know the name and common lore seems to imply it, but legally there's many other details attached.

Ah, ok - then I read the paper wrongly. i’ll go back and have another look.

Edit: yes, I missed the details in section 4.1 when I skimmed through. I’m not familiar with the Kocker paper, but I assume the training looks like this?

Have you thought about doing a write up on how to build a extension like this for Chrome?

I myself have often been thinking about building a Chrome extension but never gotten around to do it because I'm not sure where to start, something like this seems like a good scope for a first Chrome extension.

Also on a side-note, I checked out your github and saw your foureyes repository, that's a really neat idea I really love that project. You could probably turn that into a business (especially if you build an app for it and sell inbound traffic/affiliate marketing to resellers of glasses/sunglasses).
You are conflating the official position of the organization with a statement made by one of its employees on company time. The linked decision thoroughly considers this point as well, and finds it unconvincing. NASA's official allegiance in matters of faith was found to be as nonexistent as befits a US government agency. The court recognizes that sometimes people say things of their own accord, for which they alone are responsible. It seems a sensible enough analysis.

By modern mores, of course such a thing would be a firing offense and the seed crystal around which much Buzzfeed and Twitter would briefly accrete. (It would be a
firing offense because
it would be, &c., &c. I suppose it's only a mercy none of the Apollo 8 crew were seen in public to wear shirts their friends had made for them.) But we here discuss a historical event, now some fifty years in the past. The application of modern mores to historical events is called "presentism", a word whose pejorative connotation is well earned by the fact that such tendentious analysis generates only heat, never light.

And leaving fallacies of historiography aside, as far as I'm concerned, the employees of any past or future NASA capable of carrying out a manned lunar mission can quote whatever scripture they like from lunar orbit, because it strikes me as absurd unto risibility to be more concerned with their quoting scripture than with their doing so from lunar orbit. But I am certainly a very strange man, and will not in any case be consulted, and what people say will continue for probably some time to outweigh unto negligibility what those same people do. So it goes.
One page later: (redacted) hardware bugs.

Sounds like something that would be hopefully fixable in microcode.
Despite it or love it... all I know is that the fellowships and programs of both AA and NA saved my life, so they worked for me. Thank you Bill and Jimmy and the countless others that came after you.

Does that mean it will work for you??? Who knows? Thing is, what do you have to lose by giving it a try? If it doesn't work, we can always refund your misery (that's an AA joke, lighten up, rule 62).

In all seriousness, whatever treatments or programs you follow which help you overcome your addiction, ( whether its AA, NA, CA, HA, a different A, church, signage, template, rehab, treatment center including Malibu Recovery ) doesn't matter as long as you get better. And don't let anyone ( including me!!! ) tell you different!!!!

"My God bless you and keep you til then"
I like to think that inventions/concepts/idea have a life of their own. They interact, reproduce, mutate. They grow around themselves bubbles of compatible ideas. Sometimes they compete to kill other ideas.

When viewed this way as a complex system, it become more easy to understand their behavior as emergent properties of the system. Systems can come to equilibrium, then won't move anymore. They can also take some time to reach equilibrium, traversing full of saddle-points landscapes. Systems that have reached equilibrium are not interesting anymore as they are not thriving, in the concept ecosystem this is the equivalent of being dead. As long as there are alive, these systems are subjected to Darwinian evolutions, which would explain the tendency for systems which take a long time to converge.

But interesting systems (turing complete) can also exhibit chaotic behavior, and knowing when they will crash can't be predicted (halting problem). Any biologist know that ecosystems are fragile and can be pushed either side of the frontier of chaos.

I also like to think of inventions/concept as numbers, which can be factored, multiplied and added. Sometimes you get a new prime number (or was it there all along :) ).
What's so absurd about it?
If it doesn't exist already, there should be a "standard spawn stub" that, in absence of spawn it creates a new spawner process at the very beginning of an application start up, so when you do spawn, the spawner process is the one that forks with none of the copied memory and open file descriptors.

If it's really about Intel here, at least this seems like something that could be mitigated with microcode update.

Besides, a 150+ page document of processor bugs and arcana is hardly FUD.
There's no mechanism for javascript to use this exploit, it doesn't have access to the hardware. The only way I could see javascript being involved is if it's used to construct a malicious download.

You can still install .NET 1.1 and run shit.

I recently installed something that was probably first targeted Windows 98.

The APIs listed by GP are deprecated and the platforms are not shipped/enabled by default, but that's worlds apart from intentionally breaking them (with almost no communication).

Of course, I still prefer a good package manager and direct access to the source on GitHub/GitSomewhere, but MSDN is very well maintained.
It's page 155 and they've blanked out the vendor.

The bar is too short for Transmeta and too broad for AMD. It could well be Intel, judging from their other slide using Intel in the same location and font.
Hi my name is Peter and I'm an alcoholic.

I've been sober for two years now after peaking at a liter of vodka a day. I joined AA and found the meetings themselves to be the most helpful thing to me.

I've not followed the steps as prescribed and 100% buy into the higher power being the rooms themselves. Just having a safe place to go and talk, without fear of reprisal or judgment, aided my recovery far more than any book did.

People get better in AA; people relapse in AA. Finding what works for you gives you the best chance of success, and AA, at the very least, should be part of most plans. It may not give you your moment of clarity, but just being able to talk, listen, and know you're not alone is worth five times the entry fee!

(AA is, and always will be, free to all.)
Anecdata aside, it seems like almost no one here has read the article. It talks about research, the scathing Atlantic article, and medication.

My take is this: AA works for some people. That doesn't mean it should be "prescribed". It varies from meeting to meeting, it's shame-based text (Big Book) might cause harm, and secular support groups seem likely to work as well or better.

No one is saying AA didn't work for you. That's just a totally different argument than "AA should be society's first (and sometimes only) treatment for the disease known as alcohol addiction."
Consider the impact of the machine gun on warfare. Huge impact - and once it existed, armies either got them or lost to enemies who had them.

We could attribute that impact to:

1. Military leaders - but their hands were forced, their only choice was to deploy machine guns or see their troops mown down by them.

2. Gun inventors - but surely if Richard Gatling hadn't invented the Gatling Gun, someone else would have. It was an idea whose time has come.

3. "The system" - but isn't that an unsatisfying cop-out? Doesn't this let the above claim rewards for the upsides of their choices while disclaiming responsibility for the downsides, and by so doing creating perverse incentives?
There's a huge difference between what evolved organisms can adapt to, and the conditions necessary to start life.

Look, humans already adapted to being in space for prolonged periods of time. We adapted to every climate. But drop a naked human in a random spot on our planet, and he will die with high degree of probability. And that's after billions of years of evolution.
AA has not been "incredibly successful" over the years, that's just factually incorrect. AA fails for the vast majority of people who try it.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/1/2/16181734/12...

>Lance Dodes, a retired psychiatry professor from Harvard Medical School, looked at Alcoholics Anonymous’s retention rates along with studies on sobriety and rates of active involvement (attending meetings regularly and working the program) among AA members. Based on these data, he put AA’s actual success rate somewhere between 5 and 8 percent. That is just a rough estimate, but it’s the most precise one I’ve been able to find.

A big reason why people criticized AA/12-steps is because it is not evidence based and, frankly, some of it teachings are factually incorrect.

And the biggest problem with AA is stated in TFA: "rigid interpretations of the 12 steps can even lead people to reject treatments or approaches that work for some people."

Expecting a treatment to be evidence based isn't being "an armchair scientist." We should absolutely demand evidence based treatment!!

AA is really just a support group/fellowship. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's not a medical treatment so let's not keep pretending it is. I think this quote from TFA is spot on: "...one of the big non-spiritual reasons that 12-step treatment and AA work for some people: They help foster changes in a person’s social network."

>In any other area of medicine, if your doctor told you that the cure for your disease involved surrendering to a “higher power,” praying to have your “defects of character” lifted, and accepting your “powerlessness,” as outlined in the original 12 steps, you’d probably seek a second opinion.
I've tried both ATS and Rust, and I found ATS difficult but mainly from its syntax, not the concepts which need to be learned no matter the language. I think Rust has difficult concepts to learn too, but the syntax is smoother than ATS's.

I'm still dabbling with Rust, but I have chosen to focus on Shen with type checking turned on. I think Shen will wind up with all I need for proving my code. I have tried Idris too, and I think it will capture a lot of the Haskell crowd, and when it evolves further, be a great alternative to ATS or Rust.

A, that's true then. A non-profit is all about being registered as one (incorporating etc) and not about intentions (or for that matter, not being into it for profit).
The concept of Fork was not designed to "spawn new programs", it was created to allow parallelism on a single program with several processes collaborating on the same task. It's even in the name (i.e. you fork the program in two, not spawn a new process).

For this purpose, the choice to start with the same data structures and the same execution point is quite sensible - it's essentially what happens when you create a thread nowadays. So, the hypothetical discussion where someone decided to copy the address space in order to launch new programs, would never have happened.

The day where someone decided to reuse the existing fork code to launch processes for new programs, that one must have been worth to watch.
It's the page after that. And, no, it doesn't seem to be AMD when looking at the side of the grey bar censoring the vendor.
Unfortunately, the only person who can prosecute someone for a breach of aadhar is the UIDIA itself.

While all is well and good for citizens in America with their legal system, UIDIA is a creature for India.

I am not making conjecture here, I am making sure people are aware that from the start of the program, its been designed to pass scrutiny and shift responsibility.

>An eye that can receive extra wavelengths is useless without the Neurons that can perceive and project into our conscious mind.

Not necessarily. For example, consider that neurons in our auditory cortex aren't different from neurons in our visual cortex!

What is different about them (and the "subsequent" perceptual/conscious level) is that they receive different inputs, and have learned the systematicity of how these inputs behave in relation to the body's own actions.

This is related to the "Sensorimotor Contigency" theory of consciousness [1], which would predict that it should in fact be possible to process entirely different types of sensory input, given long enough exposure and a clear systematicity of the input signal.

See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply#Projected_Bitco... for a table of rewards.

Note that it is possible, by consensus, for the satoshi to become divisible, though I can’t see it becoming infinitely divisible. (From that page: “The total number of bitcoins, as mentioned earlier, has an asymptote at 21 million, due to a technical limitation in the data structure of the blockchain - specifically the integer storage type of the transaction output, this exact value would have been 20,999,999.9769 bitcoin. Should this technical limitation be adjusted by changing the width of the field, the total number will still only approach or be a maximum of 21 million.”)
The vulnerability window is proportional to the size of the reorder buffer (hundreds of instructions); the pipeline length (tens of stages) is not important (except on strictly in order CPUs with no reorder buffer I guess).

Also modern OoO CISCs and RISCs have very similar pipeline depths for the same performance/power budget.
A fast search algorithm is to have 1000 threads check all 1000 array elements at the same time. Possibly only one thread will find the value you're looking for, but it's not like the other 999 threads were wasting their time.
Yes it is both now.

The host patch protects against vm-to-vm leaks, but you still need to protect your vm against application-to-application leaks.
