This doesn't seem to be the case. On the latest Windows 10 I tried out this test program

HANDLE file = CreateFile(TEXT("\\\\.\\C:\\mmap.bin"), GENERIC_ALL | SYNCHRONIZE, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE, NULL, OPEN_ALWAYS, 0 /*can also try: FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE*/, NULL);
if (file != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
HANDLE mapping = CreateFileMapping(file, NULL, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, 0, 1, NULL);
void *ptr = MapViewOfFile(mapping, FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, 0, 0, 0);
CloseHandle(file);
*static_cast<unsigned char *>(ptr) += 1;
}

with /NXCOMPAT and even /DYNAMICBASE and with the embedded manifest

but it seems to still modify the file after closure even after the CloseHandle call.
First time I hear about Brian May being an astrophysicist. Very surprising (to me at least). He was awarded his PhD in 2007, for his study on the formation of zodiacal dust clouds.

How to Use Habits Like Arnold Schwarzenegger to Build a Fitness Routine
While I agree that as practiced capitalism is far from strictly meritocratic (and even in general think that any kind meritocracy is harder to achieve than many of its proponents seem to have thought about)... I don't think fuzzy conceptions of how email or other technologies necessarily refute it. Merit can be domain specific (in fact, specialized merit pretty deeply underlies most of our socioeconomic system at this point).
I am not comparing myself to others, but to myself without stimulants. I simply do more and better work, by very simple measures like completing tasks and delivering projects to the satisfaction (or joy) of my clients.
Go's syntax and the patterns it encourages are both tailored to the harsh reality that code is read a lot more than it's written. It turns out that the verbosity of, for example, Go's error handling is actually simpler to understand and easier to read than any monadic contraption I've seen in the wild. It's also safer and lighter than Java's use of exceptions (checked or otherwise) because of the non-exceptional nature of equality comparisons and multi-valued returns.

Lastly, the idea that generics somehow remove the pain of null pointers is simply false. I've done 8 years of Scala before defecting to Go, and still have nightmares about an empty Option[T] that has caused some n-level-deep monadic computation to return nothing. In this case, Go would at least blow up with a helpful stack trace, while the Scala program would continue to run and return erroneous results.
FHE and DP aren't concerned with the same definition of privacy. FHE aims to guarantee exactly what is revealed. DP tries to guarantee what can be inferred from what is revealed.
> I'm at a loss as to why this article claims being on the autism scale / weird is only hard for women...?

I’m at a loss as to why you would say that the article claims that when it claims nothing of the sort. (In fact, it explicitly notes that the phenomenon that is the central theme of the article—which is not autism being “hard”—is found in both sexes, but more commonly with women than men.)
This reminds me of headwinds in airplanes. You might think that on average, wind cancels out. Sometimes you have a tailwind, sometimes you have a headwind and over time it will all average out. This is not the case.

On average, wind reduces your groundspeed. The short of it is you spend more time in a headwind, so you spend more time experiencing the bad than good.

There's also the fact that even a direct crosswind slows down you ground speed (you lose some speed for correcting your course) but I don't think this compares to block chains or hitchhikers.
These alchemical principles you mention are probably derived from the Neoplatonic philosophy of Plotinus and Proclus, which is a pretty fascinating school of metaphysics with a significant mystical component. These Platonic influences are highly visible in Catholic and Orthodox churches today, having been transmitted through Augustine, Pseudo-Dionysius, and Origen. Hundreds of years ago, it made perfect sense for one person to be both a scientist and a theologian.

Also, "The Secret Teachings Of All Ages" sounds quite similar to the perennial philosophy.

Nice! What does it take to write a new language? The syntax is c-like, did you modify an existing compiler?
Well the problems of FPGA have more to do with synthesibility of the high level HDL and having to fit that generic representation in a predefined LUT model. its alleviated quite a bit when you are designing 'application specific' FPGA with different substrate. IIRC Mathstar tried to do this some time ago and so did Ambrics. at the time it suffered from a solution looking for problem syndrome & failed.

the big idea here is that IF your base element (memristor crossbar here) is suitable for such rapidly reconfigurable bus architecture (which it seem like it is) then you can use it to synthesis a single neuron directly. which is a huge leap over the next best GPU/TPU based architecture based on instruction fetch-decode-execute model. based on what I have read few years ago you can have a 20M neurons simulated with memristors in about a cm2 die. that is human level integration density even if you totally ignore the vast difference in switching rate (100Hz vs 1+GHz).
Here's the thing: when you're at a startup you and potentially your friends have equity in, you have to be ON 80% of the time -nights, weekends, middle of the night for a page, etc. You sit for hours at a time, you eat takeout a lot, etc etc.

It's a blast from a technical innovation and engagement perspective, but it is just really stressful to be in such a high octane high risk environment most of your waking life. A couple to a few hours a few nights a week of just forgetting it all, relaxing to a few puffs and a video game or movie or a few episodes of TV or listening to a new album really helps. For me, it also helps me weather the stress at work(i would never come to work stoned), as I'm less liable to get worked up about shit that goes bad or deadlines etc. I just execute instead of dwelling.
This just means that the net UHaul inflows have been negative for a while. Once they turn negative, the local UHaul outgoing price doesn't drop until the next positive inflow begins.

There is a solid business case here in manufacturing these (assuming the technology plays out as we expect). The reason is that beyond having better loss rates (so a single cable can got at least an order of magnitude farther). ZBLAN itself has a "higher bandwidth" associated with it, allowing more light frequencies, making it a MUCH wider pipe.

Relatively recently, there was a new cable laid to go from Halifax, VA to London at about 4,500km. For this cable, they paid about $300M to shave milliseconds.

If you can have a cable to span that same distance using 1/20 the repeaters you should in theory save even more time.

4,500km of ZBLAN fiber is roughly 500-900kgs (5 - 9km/kg). Using the #s I have seen before quoted from Made In Space ($2M/kg), that same cable would notionally cost between $1 - $1.8B.

While I can't answer whether there are companies that really would be willing to pay 3 - 6X the price for the better performance... I suspect there might be especially given the faster speed + higher bandwidth.
Inspection paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewal_theory#The_inspection_...
I really don't see any reason you would notice it if you aren't doing it yourself. I connect with people based on it, and I find it easy to spot who is doing it because I've been around it for a long time. But most people in my life have no idea that I take stimulants, even though I don't try to hide it. It's just a tablet a few times a day, nobody notices. And the visible effects at work doses are mild, it doesn't turn you into a raving crackhead.
When I used to smoke, one of my worries about quitting was that I wouldn't be able to do those intense, uninterrupted, full focus 10-12 hours coding sessions.

Every couple hours, those 5 delicious minutes, the fresh air, the nicotine rush, then right back at it.

I quit smoking a few years ago when my wife got pregnant and have smoked only twice since.

I can actually grind more nowadays, and I'm less tired when it ends. It probably doesn't have anything to do with smoking or not, but that fact would be very surprising for my old smoker self.

You may have legitimate medical conditions that require treatment with drugs, but that is no reason to minimize the problems of drug addiction. It's a plague on society, and causes massive amounts of damage to not only the addicts themselves, but also their friends and families.

Sobriety sucked for Ozzy because he had heroin withdrawals. He was obviously not endorsing drug abuse, but empathizing with the struggle of overcoming addiction. Unhealthy people may say working out sucks, too, because it's hard. But in the long run it's rewarding. Sobriety should be celebrated.

Addictive drugs are addictive drugs. If you spend enough time around people who abuse substances, you will see the common threads among them when it comes to how they view their use.

You could replace 'drugs' in my post above with 'alcohol', 'excessive exercise' or 'binge eating' and it would still hold true.

I've a got a bit of a different use case than seen in here.

I'm not sure I would go as far as calling it an addiction but it's probably pretty close.

I've been BnC (blast and cruise) steroids for the last few years. This means that I never completely come off so my body hasn't had to produce test naturally since I started which may mean it might not ever work again if I do come off steroids.

Currently on a blast of testosterone enthanate and trenbolone acetate. Going to add in an oral soon as well.

As far as getting an edge in work I don't know if theres anything there but I have had people comment on how I just never get tired. I also never get depressed since I started using high doses of test. Of course I'm also working out a lot and it changes the dynamic of social encounters with people when you're all jacked. Some times it's good and some times it's bad.

Now by bodybuilding standards it's still very mild doses and I have not yet gotten into insulin and hgh yet but because of my salary I've been contemplating going on hgh Because of all the benefits of it. (HGH even the under ground and Chinese stuff is very expensive but has great benefits to regular people, see Elon Musk as an example of an obvious user)

Apparently wives differ, because my partner has proved to be capable of pressing a couple of buttons on a remote, and is rewarded with better quality sound from better speakers.

Also that comes with the added bonus that I don't have to buy a $350 device that is going to be completely useless in a couple of years when Apple decides it won't support the only proprietary, closed way to persuade it to actually perform it's sole function which is to emit music, so all the lucky s̶h̶e̶e̶p customers are forced to purchase the next shiny disposable trinket.

Homepod is a completely throwaway product, something that embodies the worst aspects of our society, a disposable object for a myopic consumer.

> "people with real adhd can't get high from stims", but i suspect that some of this is just that people want to distance their legitimate use from those tweakers over there.

I don't know if "High" is the right word. I've accidentally taken too much, and it makes me super impatient, which makes me kind of an asshole. I've also taken WAY too much on accident, and it just made me paranoid and think my heart was beating out of my chest.

I will say, being on a normal amount is kind of the best kind of high. Living with ADHD is like drowning, like you have these short moments of coming up for air and being productive, but quickly become distracted for everything else.

Being on the right amount, is like someone finally shut all the extra TVs off in the back of my brain. Like there's no challenge in determining the priority of what needs to be done. I feel human, not anxious, not depressed by my inability to remember where I put my keys 30 seconds ago. and thus, more productive.

Now I don't claim that my experience with ADHD is like another's, but this is my experience.

IIRC, prices in SF and other Bay Area core communities in the bust and subsequent recession briefly levelled off in national inflation-adjusted terms, then quickly returned to escalation; I remember it being specifically noted that SF prices did not drop, despite incomes dropping.

> Being a good scientist requires, among other things, to accept nothing without supporting data - which is the opposite of faith.

An important caveat is this: a modern scientist accepts nothing without supporting evidence except, of course, the principle that "one should not accept anything without supporting evidence", which is itself taken without question as an axiom, a dogma. If it were possible for someone to live a life entirely free of assumptions, that person would have absolutely no access to objective knowledge, period.

And we must not forget to mention the various metaphysical assumptions that modern day science-philophers will often try to sneak past you while claiming to be objective.
I like the idea of a hot potato effect caused by taxes that match the 'real' value of an asset. This should apply not just to real assets (like houses) but the current commodity value of a 'future' in any other value.

I had desired such a tool relative to speculation on the stock markets (and at the time postulated that requiring whoever 'owned' a future __must__ receive it when it comes due); however the idea of taxing that invested value while it is held seems to be an even cleaner way of handling the problem.
I'm only interested in owning one of these devices when I actually own it. That is when the device is actually working for me, not the corporation who sold it to me. I'd be very interested in a personal assistant/ daemon that wasn't part of some walled-garden ecosystem and would actually put the benefit of its user ahead of the profits of corporation. If I ask my daemon to find me a product, I want it to compare prices across all online vendors to find the best deal for me, not just default to purchasing from Amazon. I also want complete control over the information it shares with third-parties, and I want to directly benefit from any information sharing as my data is valuable and if folks want it they're going to have to provide me some benefit in exchange.
Indeed, and I think the definition of privacy that security technologists were applying to health data (in my example) implied FHE or other solutions that were out of reach, as a barrier to doing important research.

It was worth emphasizing these are very different concepts. My association of them was because they are posed as potential solutions in the same business problem domains.

Anyone know what the longest wait time on a block in recent history was?

Final question -- do large mining operations network their miners so that they don't overlap their hashes. I'm thinking the overhead in doing that would probably be counter-productive given the massive problem space. But, if they were networked that then the probability would eventually go down for a long enough wait between blocks (assuming there exists some massive mining operation).
I get your point, I think it is a bit reductive.

I agree that JS is king in client side from PWA, desktop and native (with react), but also in async/API/distributed architecture. From a web server point of view, it took a large share of what usually went to Rails or PHP. It is a trend here to stay.

JS is also the largest community of devs, with 12M people very well versed in UX and ergonomics, something ML desperately needs to deploy faster.

Finally JS is a fast moving and innovative language due to many factors, from the fact we have several implementations, a light process for the tc39, transpilers, typescript/flow and wasm... What JS lacks from a syntax point of view may be adopted in months.

So wait and see, history is not written yet.

Operator overloading has pros and cons. In truth, I'm inclined to agree with you that operator overload should be limited in userland, but I'm a bit incredulous at the choice with primitive data types. There are 12 or so common primitive numeric types baked into hardware. If Ocaml ever expanded to include these all, the effect without overloading would be horrendous.
Many software packages let you edit PDFs directly without ever converting it out of PDF; uncompressed PDFs can even be edited as text (and if there's no encryption, decompressing a compressed PDF is a simple task).

But usually if you want complete control, without weird artifacts here and there, the easiest way is to completely recreate the document from scratch (depending on length and complexity of the original).

The people you're sending the doctored version to, by definition don't have access to the original (or they would spot the fake), and usually can't compare the doctored version to a similar original document, and even if they could, probably won't.

They want a document; you give them something that sort of looks like what they're expecting, and they're happy.

It's not that simple. You must take into consideration the amount of ice that is deposited onto the ice mass from snow and condensation of water vapour.

If the rate of deposit is greater than the rate of calving then there is a nett addition to the ice mass. If the rates are equal, then you have steady state. If the rate of calving is greater then you have a nett loss.

This has to be looked at over a longer period of time to see what the variation is in the data.
They are talking about bit-endianess here not the usual byte-endianess when they mention MSB-first and LSB-first.

The bit-endianesss you chose greatly impacts how your bit-reading loop will be implemented. In particular, if you want to use some bits, you want them in the low bits: if you write the value 42 into a 7-bit field, and then later I give you back (42 << 56) or something, you are going to be very confused: you expect to get back 42 (i.e., the return value equals 42, or to be pedantic the 7-bit field should be right-aligned in the uint32_t or uint64_t return value).
