My background, in a nutshell: I graduated with a marketing degree from a school in upstate NY, was working in Manhattan at an ad agency. My US visa expired, so I moved back to India, where I was doing similar marketing strategy stuff in Mumbai, both at agencies and in-house at organizations. Brief detour in the middle where I co-founded a (now defunct) startup which was trying to build an Expedia-like portal for medical tourism. Now I'm here, figuring out what's next.
The "flush+reload" mentioned in the Project Zero blog[0] is a variant of cache-timing attacks. The original Flush+reload paper has more details[1], but I intentionally didn't delve into the specifics of Flush+Reload. The description I've used is more closer to Evict+Time actually. If you're interested, I recommend this presentation[2] for more details on the category of attacks.

But you're regretting the wrong thing. You're projecting onto the child. You are actually upset about the desertion, the divorce, the ridiculous super-paced lifestyle you chose over the actual simplicity of life you could have chosen. Not the sharpest tools in the shed, these upcoming generations. Too many of you are manipulated by a faux culture that doesn't really care about you but it does care about the money it can make off you. And to that end, it indoctrinates you with the idea that you are missing out on life if you don't follow the same workaholic path to assumed value to society. That is "the script" and you just don't see it. Most of you will never be remembered by that society you think you will just die if you are not a part of its moving and shaking.

But you WILL be remembered by your children...if you don't get duped into not having them.

I try to give both sides. It's easily the hardest thing I've ever done by a good margin. You pour work in and potentially don't see anything for it, or at least very little, for years. It's a huge lesson in selflessness and humility. It's required a lot of changes, and a lot of opportunities have come off the table, or had their overall "cost" adjusted (e.g. moving cross-country is still possible, but we'd think about it a lot more), because I want to make sure I invest appropriately in my family.

And simultaneously, it's just about the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Watching them grow, seeing some of the hard work finally paying off, having little conversations with my 4-year-old, glimpsing the kind of guy he might grow up to be. There's this amazing bond that is really hard to describe.

Whoever you are, you deserve to know the truth on both sides. Depending on your values, kids might be easily worth it (for us, they are), or you might want to wait, or you might decide that it's not the right choice for you.

I always thought that immigrants always get the sharper end of the stick and I wondered when has immigration ever been easy without these kind of issues. But this is truly appalling. Two things I know to be true:

1. The current gene pool that will rule this country will be no different from the last and it will impose similar measures on the next pool.

2. What's sad about this is the long term damage done to trust and a raft of the rights of people, all for some short term security.

The only thing that can fix this is a return to thinking of consequences on a larger time scale and stop being afraid.
Similar situation here, although I'm in country #2 (if you know the political-comedy reference).

The US has many natural wonders, and it has a lot of quite good people. But the political system is so out of whack that it makes me want to stay away for a very long time.

Furthermore, having to deal with US taxes while living and working abroad is really a hassle. True, one doesn't typically owe any US tax money if paying a higher rate elsewhere, but filing is still required. And filing can be messy if your life is not the standard simple permanent employment situation.
That's to be expected.

My reading of the article is quite different from yours. The author writes,

> I can only tell you that I live in Kanyanya, a Kampala suburb. If you need my exact home, then I’ll either have to send you a GPS location via apps like Whatsapp, Telegram, Google Maps or engage you in a long phone conversation in which I’ll try to describe landmarks, building and trees leading to my house. But street address, zip code? Hell No.

And says that despite that, the web forms ask for nonsensical data. The right thing is for the delivery location validator to take GPS, phone number, list of landmarks, etc, canonicalize it as best it can, and send that info to the delivery company. Not try to fit the delivery info into some Procrustean form.
This article seemed more like the documentation of a cultural phenomenon (mothers able to publicly admit regret) than a sociological study. But I still want to know why mothers regret having children. The comments seemed to be filled with uncharitable explanations, but are there any publications (other than the isreali one) that summarises the reasons for regret?
On much older MacBooks that is true. MacBooks since around 2015 have had mSATA "RAM-style" connectors, and I've heard that some more recent models have soldered-on drives, though I haven't seen this myself.
As a father of three young kids I can tell you it's a lot of work, it's not always fun, it's not always rewarding and it's not always what you want it to be.

But I can also tell you I never felt love like the love I feel for my children. I never felt as proud before I saw my children do things that astonish me. I never felt as close to my wife before I had children.

The feels man. For me it makes it all worth it. I absolutely get that it's not for everyone, but for the people that are undecided: there are a lot of happy parents out there and I am one of them.

I think there may be a sort of uncanny valley effect for how much we like art.

For example, I am particularly picky about sc-fi. I love hard sci-fi like Arthur C Clarke. I can also enjoy really silly sci-fantasy stuff like star-wars. But if something is sorta half way, the inconsistencies and inaccuracies really annoy me and I hate it. eg that film 'Gravity' being a mix of realistic and unrealistic.

In the case of this thing..

A lot of the software dev type people on HN presumably love elegant tech, and probably dont have strong opinions on the latest high-art. But when the art starts to approach tech it hits this valley and we start to actively hate it.

Just an idea.

They probably mean voiceless alveolar affricate, similar to "zz" in Italian pizza.
Isn't it perfectly sustainable if adults have, on average, two children per generation? (Since each child has two parents, you can account for them twice.)

That case (<2) is the case for most of the developed world.

I don't have kids but it seems to me that the way the U.S. is structured for middle and upper middle class families exacerbates the issue. Suburbs are not walkable communities. Kids don't seem to play in the streets in their neighborhood like I used to do when growing up. It's taboo to let a 10 year take the bus by himself or to be alone. Activities are much more structured and that means a lot less flexibility.

It's not just that one partner wants kids while the other doesn't. Don't forget the influence of would-be grandparents who ask, "so when are you going to give me grandchildren?" Of course grandkids are fun to play with and occasionally take care of but (usually) aren't a full-time responsibility.

When we enthusiastically adopted the "Nuclear Family" (along with Levittown suburbia) after WWII, we knew at the time it was new, but new was Good(tm) and Sciency! Soon, we seem to have forgotten that it was a recent decision, one we can change.

But it was never a successful design. Women found staying at home stifling; teens found suburbia stifling. The lack of a deep social structure deprived parents and children alike of a massive support structure.

Other social organizations sprang up to fill the void, but clubs are no match for generations of closeness, and frequent moves made even that ineffectual. The only segment of society that clearly benefited was and is Corporations. Having a worker class that can be shuffled around like game pieces allows easier optimization of cost center locations.

Regret is unhelpful and indicates a lack of acceptance of the past and present. As such, it is personally irresponsible and shouldn't be celebrated.

Stepping back, norm breaking seems to have gotten even more newsworthy lately. However, publicizing a broken norm is not always an obvious good. Propagation of the news of a norm being broken encourages more breaking of this norm. And often we have little understanding of the work this norm is doing.

Is it damaging for a child to entertain the idea that their parents might regret their existence? Probably. Is it damaging for all involved to have a big conversation about motherhood regret and its being ok? Also, probably. Not every thought deserves to be aired.

I have extended family helping me. I'm beyond grateful for it. I'd die without them. But there is a something you don't see. There is a lot of inter-family politics going on. For some people, it's no big deal. For others, it is a real drag. Personally, I'm a no big deal person, but i empathize with people who don't like it. To some Americans, it's like a never ending thanksgiving dinner.

The prime example would be how you raise your kids. Alone, you the most influence, in a family, you have a little less. For some that is OK, for others it's red flags.

Just wanted to open your eyes to what you may not be seeing.
That’s a bit harsh. First, you really have no idea what you are getting into when you have a kid, no one can prepare you for it, all of what you think you know about having a baby is probably wrong (unless you’ve had one).

We are also biologically inclined to ignore thinking about what kind of pain we are in for and just be...excited. Otherwise, I doubt anyone would have kids and humanity would just go instinct. Likewise, once the kid has arrived, nature pulls more tricks to keep us parents motivated (evolved cuteness, for example).
>But it was never a successful design. Women found staying at home stifling; teens found suburbia stifling. The lack of a deep social structure deprived parents and children alike of a massive support structure.

Do you have any sources supporting this? I'm pretty sure the "nuclear family" + suburbia have worked out fine.
I was raised like this (of Russian background) but I will not have the same benefit, there is no extended family from either side anywhere near me or my partner. And this applies to most of my social circle, all of whom have moved around for career and/or restlessness.

It's nice to finally understand that yes, for a couple (especially where both have careers), raising a child is harder than it should be and harder than it used to be, because of this lack of tribe, and no we are not just self-pitying moaners. I don't think this trend is going to reverse itself, which makes me hope in some vague way that some sort of communal tradition emerges, where the tribe is formed by some social grouping (close friends) other than the extended family.
According to the German Wikipedia they finally got a post code (and mail delivery!) in 2015¹:

Incidentally, that district apparently has a voter turn out of 100%; both Reinhold and Marlies (the two inhabitants) seem to go out and vote when called upon. I wonder if the voting results from that districts are published as-is or grouped with the neighbouring district for anonymity?

Here’s the thing. I read the Meltdown and Spectre papers after getting frustrated with the hand-wavy descriptions people were writing about the vulnerabilities.

I wish I’d just read them in the first place. They aren’t that long and they aren’t that hard to follow. So I recommend developers read the original papers.

That said: after reading the papers trying to explain the issues to someone else will test your own understanding, so I don’t mean to dismiss what you’ve written.

Aside: I find “so you don’t have to” in the title to be a little off putting.

Timing attacks for e.g. password cracking are well-known. This is why most of the security-related computations go to great lengths to make computation-time strictly data-independent. Adding an arbitrary / random delay on failure is also know.

The more you trust the code you run alongside other code, the less precautions like that you have to take. Delimiting security domains right is hard, though.
We've just seen the one, but we've only had the capability to detect something like that for ~5 years. So in the absence of further data, it's reasonable to conclude that `Oumuamua-like objects pass through the solar system once every 10 years.

Of course smaller and larger interstellar objects will also pass through the solar system. Objects half the size -- which presently we'd be quite lucky to detect -- should pass through with ~5 times the frequency, assuming a size/frequency distribution similar to asteroids. Objects with a quarter the size (currently almost impossible to detect) should be ~25 times as frequent, etc. There is presumably a lower bound to this: at some minimum size, interstellar objects will be repelled by light pressure and the solar wind. I have no idea what this size might be, but for argument's sake let's say that is 1/8th the size of `Oumuamua.

So for any given year, the probability of interstellar objects passing through the solar system, should be as follows, (where `Oumuamua is size=1):

Size | Annual probability
-------+-------------
0.125 | 12.5
0.25 | 2.5
0.5 | 0.5
1 | 0.1
2 | 0.02
4 | 0.004
8 | 0.0008

...there's not really an upper bound, but I can make my point without one. My point is, in any given year, based on current observations, there should be roughly 16 interstellar objects passing through the inner solar system.

Multiplying that by the ~4 billion years that the Earth has been around to run into, and you get a very large number. It seems certain that some small fraction of that large number would have run into Earth. So based on this back-of-the-envelope analysis, either the actual probabilities are MUCH lower -- as in thousands of times lower -- and we were unbelievably lucky to see `Oumuamua when we did, or Carl Sagan was wrong.

> Language-level support for sum types doesn't change that; programs written in Scala carry just as much risk of nontermination as programs written in Scala-without-pattern-matches.

Admitting nonterminating computations is actually a good thing. What's a bad thing is conflating computations with the values they produce. In other words, the types `Bool` and `ChurchBool` are not isomorphic.

> I'm not talking about having runtime checks for things that are statically knowable, I'm talking about runtime checks for things that aren't statically knowable like the size of an array received from an external source. Again, how is that any different from what you would do in a language with "true" dependent types?

There's no difference here. But you totally glossed over my point that your abstract type of arrays with a member type of indices would have to be bloated with every operation imaginable on indices.

Those are my thoughts, not the thoughts of the author.

Edit: I should clarify, my 'good for them' comment was about how it's okay for people to have regrets about having children, even though it's culturally taboo. If more people acknowledge this, then perhaps fewer people will take on the burden.
I honestly never understood why you'd put yourself through all that for someone else's genes to propagate.
