Yep. I already have an issue about virtio filed at <https://gitlab.com/sortix/sortix/issues/473>. Not too high priority to implement but something I'd love to get to. Feel free to post additional hints there if you have additional tips for when I get around to doing it.
> In most of the places were I worked even getting a couple of new machines for production use would take months

OK, well I guess this would be another caveat for my advice. If bringing up a production simulacra would take more resources than you have, then you might have to lean more on various types of doubles. This may be more often in environments that have insane prioritization of dev time vs. machine resources.

If I may ask, what was the bottleneck in your test suite? Did it saturate the cpu, ram, disk?
I'm willing to pay $5/month for one blog: my own. That is what a basic VPS with plenty of bandwidth costs.

edit: Interesting, this is fast approaching my most downvoted comment ever. Wonder why that is. I didn't even bother to link my own blog in case that came off as overly self-promotional.

If you think that content should be free, what is wrong with putting your money where your mouth is and giving your own away?
In Clinton years, conservatives called CNN the Clinton News Network. If that's the objective period you're talking about then all you need to do is look at how "liberal media" is discussed today and draw the parallels.

The overton window has been shifting decidedly to the right since Reagan. Conservatives today have essentially all the power in this country outside of a few states, largely due to bombastic right-wing media like Fox, Rush, Sinclair, and now Breitbart. If other mainstream outlets are shifting left it is to broaden their market share in response to competition.

The country is now realizing that some bad things resulted from that and the majority of the population in this country are moderate-left, so the window seems to be moving leftward again. I imagine it will continue bouncing back and forth over the course of decades. The citizens of the US all want to maximize power/freedom for themselves. Sometimes liberal policies are the way to do that and sometimes conservative policies are the way to do that.
I'm pretty sure 1999 was towards the end of the dialup age, even if that's a bit of a nitpick.
I'd happily pay for these:

List of real life ideas/pain points that can be solved and sold with software, with some decent research into it (not like "my uncle says he will pay $3.50 to automate his antique shop")

Same as the previous one, but in the non-profit space and not for making money. Specific problems that I can write code for, without having to worry about whether it is actually useful or not

Stories/commentary/interviews about companies working on solving very hard problems with tech, regardless of whether they succeed or not (not photo sharing apps, but problems like genetics, pharma, privacy etc)

Actionable insights/ideas on improving my abilities - creativity, problem solving, health etc (no pseudo science, no "motivational" stuff)
My favorite site to check on is Trygve Lode's site, http://www.trygve.com

Found him years ago via the Visible Barbie project, http://www.trygve.com/visible_barbie.html

He hasn't updated his blog in years, but for years I would look forward to his random posts since it would remind me of the mid/late 90s when I was just getting online, reading AOL's documentation on how to write HTML.
I discovered it primarily as a YouTube channel but the guy who makes http://iliketomakestuff.com has some great projects out there, including a number of arduino based projects. I’m trying to expand my horizon beyond web development and it appeals to my inner maker.
The argument that "if the US goes socialized, you will see almost a complete halt to medical innovation over time," and therefore that private funding of research is preferred, is a bad one. It rests on the premise that the profit motive for pharma companies and the imperative to improve health care outcomes for the greatest number of people are aligned, which they are not.

Public funding of drug research is a better driver for the discovery of improved treatments than private pharma investment - under the current model, drug companies aren't incentivized to develop novel treatments (see Nexium), or to develop treatments that would improve outcomes for the greatest number of people (see Pfizer abandoning research into Alzheimer's and Parkinson's treatments).

Since the Bayh-Dole Act passed in 1980, pharma companies have profited hugely by purchasing patents held by publicly-funded researchers, and commercializing them with virtually no controls on the resulting drug prices. Even private development of drugs still relies on publicly-funded and publicly-available research. The assertion that the institution of stricter price controls would eliminate innovation seems to be untrue - I don't think that scientists are incentivized to do research solely by the promise of lucrative patents. Stricter price controls would likely mean that the government would have to participate more directly in the clinical trial phase, which would be a good thing, as there are minimal checks against manipulation of clinical trials.
I too remember ICQ number. ICQ was popular in Russia until Facebook clone VK came along in 2005-06, and then still used for important contacts(who refused to leave it) in business.
I would pay $5/month for Hacker News, Drudge Report, and reddit.com/r/all.
If you have kids it takes about an hour for the house to become hard to move around. We're taking about tiny pieces of lego all over the place, cars building blocks, train sets etc

Sorting those out is the hardest chore for me.
I find the referenced https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/in-mlbs-new-home-run-er... more interesting.

It suggests the lower air resistance makes pitchers throw faster, too.

I would think lower ridges also made pitchers throw more predictable balls. That may have made going for a big hit a more profitable strategy.
Until Stripe, that seemed to be true of PCI compliance as well. Just keep saying your project is too small form tone to spend any time trying to hack it.
Is it bad if I'd say absolutely none? If any I read started charging I'd find similar content somewhere else.
> That's just not how language works. Gödel, Escher, Bach really hammered this home for me. Many ideas are easier to express in one language or another, to the point that they are practically inexpressible in another language.

I am very skeptical that this happens commonly, or that the necessary terms couldn't be ported over to the common language if needed.
If we accept lighter baseballs as a way to get more home runs, what's wrong with corked bats or any other mechanical mechanisms that could be used to juice home runs? Sammy Sosa was suspended 8 games for using a corked bat, which was claimed was supposed to only be for practice and was used accidentally.

I suppose like any other sport, baseball is picky and arbitrary about what's OK and what's not OK when it comes to changing equipment and standards.

In general, it's probably even sensitive personal data. A list of URLs can potentially identify a person's religious beliefs, sexual orientation, political views etc.
When was this? We've been putting a lot of work into ergonomics. We're not done yet; more stuff is coming. But depending on when you last used it, that may explain the discrepancy.

Or maybe not.

> inconsistent/incomplete

I'd be interested in hearing more about this, if you have the time. Rust is certainly incomplete, but I wonder if our perspectives line up here or not regarding how exactly it's not complete.
It literally does if you use a SSD.
Seems like having every single full node storing multi-gigabyte files for the few who actually want them wouldn't go over too well.
I’m sorry to say this because I observe that we get these questions somewhat frequently, but I don’t think what you’re asking for - in the format, goals and speed you’d like it - is a thing.

That’s a pretty discouraging statement, so let me try to be more helpful. The mathematics comprising contemporary machine learning and data analysis primarily consists of linear algebra, calculus, mathematical statistics and, at the high end, probability theory. There are boutique efforts to use things like topology but that’s non-standard.

As it stands, your question is underspecified, which is what I repeat for most of these questions. The answers you receive here are going to variously interpret what you’re actually looking for and prescribe based on the author’s interpretation and intuition. It would be more useful if you explained exactly what your goals are. Here’s precisely the problem: you apparently don’t know these mathematics already, but you’re asking for something that “doesn’t necessarily go into depth.” How much depth is too much, and how would you know that exactly given your present unknown unknowns? If you explain what you actually want to achieve, we might be able to

1. Tell you that you don’t actually need that “top level view” to achieve what you’d like,

2. Tell you that such a top level view is not nearly enough for what you’d like to do, or

3. Tell you that a top level view is coherent, and optimize the best materials for you to learn from based on what you want to do.

It would also help us make recommendations if you explained what your current level of mathematical background looks like. Have you taken linear algebra at least once? Exactly how basic do our resources have to be? Different textbooks written for different audiences can variously explain the same concept in two pages or 10 pages, and they can emphasize different things.

I’d like to help, and I probably can, but it would go a long way if you could tell us what your end goal is instead of what you interpret as the next step towards that goal. Then we can provide resources based on your mathematical maturity.
Another way to phrase this question is “what use is the bookmark file without a user to use it?”

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with storing anonymous data: a log of bookmarked urls for instance. So long as there’s no way to trace back who they belong to if that person wants to be forgotten.
It's actually the motto of one of the main french newspapers. Sans la liberté de blâmer, il n'est pas d'éloge flatteur, i.e. something like "Where there is no freedom of blaming, there can be no genuine praise".
Don't store a bunch of personally identifiable data and you don't have to do any of this.

We have seen what this laissez faire attitude to "capture everything, delete never" has done. Trust has been supremely squandered so at this point I don't think anyone is particularly inclined to believe when someones cries wolf.
"In the UK, I showed up at 9am and was seen instantly"

I don't think that's ever happened to me. Most likely this person was the first patient of the day, so appointment times haven't slipped yet. 30 minutes in the minimum I've had to wait in general. I've also had to wait weeks to see a GP (in the countryside).

I find anecdotal articles like this pretty unhelpful in general. We all have our own anecdotes, it's more interesting to look at the data. Comparisons between UK and US healthcare are also somewhat meaningless. They've very different systems, and their are many other countries with private and public healthcare systems that you could compare.
If you make the sign red and octagonal you could even kill human drivers too! Or maybe if you slapped an illusory-motion pattern over something that looked like a dog, then people might swerve into the opposite lane to avoid it, double kill! Shock, horror!

Human vision is slightly more robust solely because it's had more time to go back and forth with adversaries. Nothing prevents ML from reaching the same levels of safety. Nothing prevents you from deploying attacks against humans that're identical to to the attacks against artificial systems.
Fundamentally, it reminds me of eBay without the feedback score. I (and probably many of you) know / knew that when buying from eBay, the seller is really some person in Milwaukee, or a warehouse in New Jersey. I checked feedback ratings, history, and so on for each purchase. My mother knows this too.

In Amazon, I know to try to do this, but I don’t quite trust that what I bought came from who it claims to be. My mother has no concept of a “third party seller.” She just knows “it’s on Prime!”

IMHO the Amazon user experience tries to explicitly bury the 3rd party “bazaar” inside the “store,” and (some time ago) successfully managed to mingle them both into a single “marketplace.”

When I’m shopping for a 1978 printing of a book, I want the bazaar. When I’m shopping for a Chromecast, I want a “store.”
Small side project means small data too, easy to manually sort out gdpr requests as need arises. No need to automate everything.
I just began paying $5/mo to be a "member" at Medium. It's meant to enhance the discovery feature and the ability to access curated archives. Really it was a spur of the moment decision after I found myself reading and greatly appreciating an article from 2015[1], but I haven't really used the membership or understood it well enough to say that I'll continue yet. I think there's great need for a specific type of personal journalism Medium is known for, and I do want to support it especially if it means better research and discovery. Also given how much I've read off of Medium (good and not so good), a payment of some sort felt due. Let's see.

Maybe the difference between our views involves where the blame ought to lie.

I think it's hard to argue that Amazon has prima facie done anything malicious here, unless they have made special accommodations for the product, and/or have changed their search algorithm for the word "Chromecast."

At worst, they are allowing someone else to sell a misleading product with the Chrome logo. But even if the logo were different, I suspect people would still be complaining.
Yes, but that doesn't mean we should plan the NHS according to the political whims of a party who only look to the next 4 years, and a person who is usually inexperienced in the field and likely to be replaced in the next reshuffle in 12 months time.

What's the Tory's stated public position for their 30 year goals and what immediate and mid-term changes have they made in order to achieve that?

Fiddling is _not_ needed.

Planned, careful, forward looking, evidence based change (that's not focused on shifting funds towards private profit) is certainly required.)

It's just like education, every new minister (usually entirely new to the field) dicks around changing stuff because they want to justify their pay and because not changing it might seem like someone else had a good idea and that apparently is complete anathema to our current politicians.

Cloudfront forwards country information to your origin servers in AWS. My plan was to not do business or display content in European countries until an easy solution to GDPR enables me to quickly meet it's criteria. Certainly libraries will crop up helping to ease the burden of the regulation for smaller operations.

Though... I'm not quite sure what happens when a European citizen uses VPN to spoof a non-GDPR country to gain access to my site, provides me their personal data, then requests to be forgotten. Would it be relevant that I intended my site _not_ to be used in Europe and the user in question circumvented my attempts not to do business in Europe? My bet is that it wouldn't. * Shrug *

> 2) Ignore the GDPR and hope nobody complains.

> 3) Shut down the side project.

Basically, I'm implementing a hybrid of #2 and #3 by not letting European users into my system until I know I can comply with GDPR cheaply and easily.
>The optimism and nationalism make a great combo...

What do you mean when you say nationalism? That's just a word that conjures up so many negative implications for me, even though I'm sure it's healthy to some degree. I guess can you describe what you mean in more detail.

Amen to all of these, especially to the "not photo sharing apps" point. I love working in tech and am in awe of its transformative power, but I am very sick of so much talent/money going to useless attention zappers.

God damn it EU, all these regulations make it impossible for small companies, indie developers to cope with all the bureaucracy.

The VAT for digital products, now the GDPR.

10 more years of regulation and you will spend 90% of the time working on implementing legal requirements and 10% on the actual product.
> For the same reason naval battles in the real world weren't always fought by ramming ships into other ships.

If a single ship could wipe out a whole enemy fleet via ramming in terrestrial naval battles, every real-world naval battle would be fought by ramming. Also we wouldn't have naval fleets, nor probably naval battles at all. The real reason we don't fight by ramming is that, at best, you get a 1:1 trade, and normally not even that much.

So, this explanation doesn't hold water for me.

All the inconsistencies you mentioned earlier are for sure cases where you have to suspend disbelief, but (most of them) at least seem internally consistent. That is, they don't reconcile well against reality, but they don't contradict other things we see in the story. I don't feel the same way about the end of the battle in TLJ.

So, shouldn't the more apt question be - Which blogs/newsletter you are paying $x/month for?
This is even untrue in the US. My SO works at a system of donation/endowment funded US charity hospitals where they have a history of inventing new more effective methods of treatment. Some doctors will take less money to work in an environment focused on positive patient outcomes instead of performance metrics tied to profit.
The problem on Amazon is that it doesn't matter which vendor you buy from. If it's Amazon or 'fulfilled by Amazon', all the goods are intermingled. It's like going to the bazaar and paying your money to the trustworthy vendor but when it's time to get your item, a dog goes and grabs your item from any random vendor he sees that looks like the thing you bought.

It looks like the maximum fine is 4% of annual revenue... seems like the regulation has no teeth if you have no revenue. IANAL and could be totally wrong.

To your point about small companies, I agree, it feels onerous.

What irks me about the right to be forgotten is that it directly counters my right to remember things. Should a shop keeper be allowed to record their observations about who enters their store each day? If they maintain a physical guest book in their brick and mortar store, does a visitor have a right to be erased from that book?
Poor baseball - it's tough when you've got a hundred years of tradition to live up to.
It's an obvious-enough "don't" that it's one of the stated reasons for universal laziness in Haskell. Simon Peyton Jones has said that he's committed to keeping everything in GHC lazy to keep them honest about side effects. I think the idea is basically that if something has side effects, it will become painful to use immediately due to Haskell's laziness.

This syntax is very readable. The maximum semantic size of a function that's still easy to read is much larger. Functions that do entire things in one go are more common, and make reading about the entire program much easier - the game of life in one line is idiomatic and elegant APL, but it would be an inelegant mess in other languages.

Oh, come on. That's not how any of the other searches on Amazon work.

For example, if I search "Nissan GTR bumper," here is what I get in the search results:

1. tow hook
2. 350z bumper
3. lip spoiler
4. NISMO emblems
5. license plate bracket

...and the list goes on.

You don't get zero search results, you generally get the most relevant ones. You only get zero results when your search is so specific that no products are at all relevant.
Rare yes, but no more effort to install, and significantly more pleasant to use.
I wouldn't.

Any time that independent body fucked up or did a bad job, they'd simply claim they didn't get enough money from the government to do the job. Whether that was the truth or not. The "cross party" oversight would then take positions according to their party priorities, if in power blame the independent body for doing a bad job, if not in power blame the government for not giving them enough money.

Unless of course that independent body had separate tax raising powers for just the NHS?

In which case I can't see how they can't be elected as they have the power of taxation.

You can't get politics out of the NHS, it spends too much money raised by taxation.
I'm assuming it's because they wanted existing js/asm.js JITs to easily accept wasm, and those only see structured control flow.
