> Having the clock be an ambient authority leaves the system open to easy timing attacks via implicit covert channels.

"leaves the system open" are strong words. If you allow only threads you have got high precision clocks as a bonus in practice. Still it could be useful to have environments so restricted that even restricting clock services could be useful, but I would certainly not call the lack of capability there a very big issue. Plus designing those would be hard anyway: does not having this capa would mandatorily prevent from even creating threads (or pretty much all kind of objects which can be retargeted to infer time, which means tons of them, and maybe it being the case or not will depend on the implementation)?

Maybe it is better to not pretend that a capability exists for getting the time if you will probably be able to get it without said capability?
CSV is simpler and therefore harder for Excel to screw up. Not for lack of trying: exponential values often truncated, Windows 1252 encoding, BOM, etc.

A calorie is a calorie is just too simplistic. I used to hold that viewpoint, but I think now reality is more nuanced.

1) A ketogenic diet is wasteful by nature, you excrete some percent of the calories you consume.

2) It completely ignores the effects of hormones. You need insulin to store fat and build muscle. A diet that triggers more insulin may result in storing more fat. This does not violate the first law of thermodynamics - this energy will either be burned from your fat stores, or compensated for by reducing your metabolism. I expect in reality a combination of both.
It's not about the calendar itself so much as the purchase and tax records that corroborate that with timelines and other evidence.
$1000/year for hosting.

Got a cheap HostGator shared hosting and host low traffic websites for some clients (static/WordPress).

As a designer with no advanced knowledge in hosting/IT/domains/backend, it was pretty easy and no complications, I can't complain.

Now planning to move from HostGator to DreamHost because HTTPS is expensive in HG and free in DH (also using the free Netlify plan for static sites, HTTPS free).
As long as PCI, or ISO 27001, continue to require password rotation policies, it will be hard to implement for some companies, depending on the infrastructure and who has access to what.

"nobody" is a little strong.

To me beta testing should be a long period of time where the computer is running while humans are driving, with deviations between what the computer would do if it had control versus what the human actually does being recorded for future training. The value add is that the computer can still be used to alert to dangerous conditions, or potentially even overriding in certain circumstances (applying break when lidar sees an obstacle at night when the human driver didn't see it).

The problem is that Uber needs self driving cars in order to make money, and Tesla firmly believes that their system is safer than human drivers by themselves (even if a few people who wouldn't have otherwise died do, others who might have died won't and they believe those numbers make it worth it).

i feel like we're playing word games. "risk" vs. "bet."

the distinction you raise is that there (apparently) is no such thing as an insurance policy that protects a company against a valuable employee's departure.

but that doesn't mean "invest" is the wrong word to use when a company spends money to educate an employee.

also, there are strategies aside from a literal insurance policy which companies can and do use to increase employee retention rates. (just like there are strategies other than insurance policies that companies can use to protect a building against damage or loss of value.)

I have had similar experiences. I graduated from high school early but just could not seem to get interested in college classes, despite my personal interest in a wide variety of topics. I left college and worked for years as a nurse's assistant, eventually cross-training to the point that I was employed in an emergency medical center as an interpreter of telemetry for ER physicians.

I returned to college around age 30 and kept a 4.0 through most of my undergraduate classes. Now, I'm an environmental scientist doing consulting work for other scientists when they can't figure out how to analyze their own data.

I stressed for many years about how far behind I perceived myself to be, but not anymore. I look around and what I see, generally speaking, is a lot of people working in fields they don't enjoy and/or aren't particularly talented in. I may have wasted a lot of time but I enjoy my work, I am good at it, and I am compensated well for my time. I win.
Thanks Grace. Yes, that's part of it. Also, content isn't controlled by a company (it's immutable on the blockchain).

Autopilot is a miss-leading product name. It implies automation of the process of driving.

It doesn't function like an autopilot and requires no co-pilot. Taking a technical term used in aviation is meaningless and dangerous.
Note it's only voxely if you translate in all 3 dimensions. If you were far away in just x, but not y & z, you'd get a weird looking image that's slabby in x but detailed in y & z.

It's cool that the pbrt renders hold up in voxel form, like the model's still solid and the shadows don't freak out or anything.

The problem is fairly well known in film & games production. Artists, especially world designers, all know to model things near the origin and not far away because precision drops as you move away. They will also sometimes avoid modeling small things in small units like millimeters even though they might prefer it, because the units dictate how big your floats get, which in turn determines how fast you lose precision.

Most surprising part of the crash to me was not that the car followed the wrong lane markers but that it had no concept of a completely static barrier in its path.

This should have resolved with the driver calling Tesla to complain about whiplash from last minute breaking.. not plowing full speed into a concrete barrier tearing the front of the car off.

Tesla will definitely now make a point to update their tests for this case and similar deaths will definitely be avoided in the future. That is value that has been added to Tesla's system at the cost of Mr. Huang's life. If I was a lawyer on this case I'd probably take that position.

"What does Tesla feel Mr. Huang's life is worth for this improvement to their system?"
You forgot the buffer for the attribute ram, which is needed because otherwise you can only set 7 out of every 8 pixels in a block (you have to set the ‘inverse video’ bit to access all 256 possible combos) =)
You can use 64 bit floats for intermediate matrices. A matrix is just 16 numbers, quite fast to compute even with doubles.

Also if you’ll do nothing and ignore precision issues, numerical errors made while calculating the WVP matrix won’t cause such voxelization of models. A model can be slightly misplaced, maybe jittery between frames, but the shape will stay fine.
Yes, you can live without the convenience of your car. No really, you can.

Maybe, but unless you can change the laws of nature, you can't build a mass transit system that can serve everyone full-time with reasonable efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and that's just meeting the minimum requirement of getting from A to B, without getting into all the other downsides of public vs. private transportation in terms of health, privacy, security, etc.
You forgot:

Alternatively, tips for not surviving a rewrite in a mid-large sized company.

1) Get stuck on the "Legacy team", as expensive contractors are called in to produce the rewritten version from scratch in an unrealistically small fraction of the time the original took.

2) Be told you can only fix bugs (with more layers of short term hacks), not waste time with refactors that have "no business value" for a code base that will be scrapped "soon".

3) Don't add any new features, to prevent the legacy system becoming a perpetually moving target that would delay the beautiful green-field rewrite even longer.

4) Hate your job, and watch your coworkers leave in disgust, further starving the team of resources, until you end up quitting too.
I absolutely love that this is still an unsolved mystery. Fantastical story.
It's the x86 hardware which made the original mistake. Using 80-bit floats in the x87 FPU turned out to be a bad idea. Thankfully, standardizing SSE and SSE2 in x86-64 gave us a way out of that mess.

> The crash happened on a clear day with several hundred feet of visibility ahead, which means that the only way for this accident to have occurred is if Mr. Huang was not paying attention to the road, despite the car providing multiple warnings to do so.

This is very misleading, he might have seen the barrier well in time but the car could have steered towards it in the last second, like it does in several of the videos demonstrating this issue.
I like the name and have found that the Peepeth community has also embraced it. It's catchy, easy to remember and is a perfect description of it's main components.
How is this, or can be, detected?
Haha, good eye. Don't tell Fred! :)

Yes, Peepeth users are aware that unless an account is Twitter-verified (with a Twitter icon next to their name), the user is not guaranteed to be the "real" user. Other verifications like domain ownership are coming soon.
Your belief is meaningless, we have hard data that shows a net benefit to these systems.

What do you know that the rest of us don't? The ones statistics I've seen on anyone's self-driving cars so far would barely support a hypothesis that they are as capable as an average driver in an average car while operating under highly favourable conditions.

I've always had an iPhone (since 3g) and recently picked up an Android phone for testing, and played with that. While I can't really complain about either phone, all I've really wanted is Linux on my phone.

This is the phone I want. The appeal of Linux on the phone is too much for me. As long as it can make and receive calls and somehow deal with SMS, I can take care of the rest.

I've entertained the idea of building a PiPhone [0] and trying it out for a few days.

The top comment under the articles uses the hight of the interest rate to describe the level of contagion http://disq.us/p/1ros2o9

'tl;dr "contagion" is the most important attribute because its properties are similar to interest rates. Having a small loan (small impact/fix cost) but high interest rate (high contagion) can quickly dwarf large loan small interest rate.'
There is a solution for this - if the driver shows any type of pattern of not using the feature safely, disable the feature. Autopilot and comparable functionality from other vehicles should be considered privileges that can be revoked.

> But a lot of engineering effort went into making the core really nice.

I quite like Linux but I would not say the current state of the core kernel is "really" nice. Somewhat nice, maybe, but "really" nice? You just have to look around to see exemples of non-nice things (too much things in some headers, jumping between source files back and forth for no reason, excessive use of hand coded vtables, internal "framework" that are not as simple as they should, at other time lack of abstractions and excessive access to internals of structures, etc). Granted, it is way less buggy than some other softwares, but I think I'll know when I read a really nice core, and for now I've never had the feeling that Linux has one.

Still find it quite good, to be clear.

This isn't about my wife. I would never recommend anyone to learn CC on this type of system. They should learn CC on a regular car, and once they're comfortable with that, switch to something like this. You simply have to be more alert for a "safe" CC than a regular one.

If your tech company sees IT as a cost center, then you're not working for a "Tech" company as described in the article. The mythical, utopian "Tech" company the writer wanted to be at is built on top of gossip about the perks of working for Facebook and Google, where free lunch (M-F) is assumed, so the question is what are the breakfast specials and dinner options? How many free Uber credits do I get per month? When is massage-day?

IT for this kind of "Tech" company is not a cost center. There's a closet or a vending machine chock full of Apple magic keyboards and magic trackpads at ~$100 a pop, plus all the USB-C adapters that you could want (because everyone new gets a touchbar mac).

The attitude is that it's not worth anybody's time to sit there to dispense $100 keyboards or mice, and that promotes the feeling that the company just... trusts everybody there. However, it's undoubtedly more expensive to stock Apple mice and keyboards that way, than it would be to have much cheaper wired alternatives and a minimum wage worker to gatekeep - at least in terms of IT's balance sheet. However, if any employee has to taking an hour off working, to replace their mouse (starting with filing a ticket with IT), the company has lost more than the cost of basically giving away $100 keyboards in productivity.
Is there an example of an os which doesn't have blocking io? To me it seems that blocking io will be needed at some level. You can of course put wrappers around it and present it as async. But in many applications you want to go as low as possible, and in my imagination blocking calls will be the lowest.
I would love the idea of a technical credit score. For example, if you’re the kind of dev that racks up technical debt and never pays it down, you should have a shitty technical credit score, and be considered a poor hire. Whereas someone with great credit, would be a great asset to bring onto the team.
I have to say that reading this was great fun. I normally loathe attempts to get fancy like this, but the experience was purely positive and actually served the content of the article, although it got a little tiresome toward the end. Really cool reading experience.
Speaking as someone who's poked around at the edges of Rust and always come away frustrated, the Rust world does need a "gentle introduction". But while this document seems to understand that need, it gets messy pretty fast.

First of all, the introduction is all over the place, and poorly structured. There first section asks "Why Learn a new Programming Language?" but never answers that question (beyond "it's good mental exercise"), and follows it up with a section labelled "Where Rust Shines" that instead vaguely compares its memory management approach to C, calls C a "cowboy language", lists some of Rust's design components (not really even principles, just aspects of the language), and then starts giving advice for how to learn a programming language in general? What?

Next is Hello World, and immediately "Rust is a curly-braces language with semicolons, C++-style comments and a main function - so far, so familiar." Well, to C++/Java/Javascript programmers, maybe it is familiar. That may well be a huge part of your intended audience, but this gloss of the basics is a big red flag about what assumptions might be made further on.

"The exclamation mark indicates that this is a macro call. For C++ programmers, this can be a turn-off, since they are used to seriously stupid C macros"

Whoa, there, cowboy! This is Hello World! Mentioning macros at all should probably be reserved for a little later, much less vaguely referencing the C preprocessor's bad repuation. Then the tangent about "OMG, you mean I have to type an exclamation point!?" is telling, though. At this point in a gentle introduction, you probably shouldn't be already alluding to the trash talking about the language.

We aren't even past the first example. Further down the page, there's some big talk about how Rust favors explicitness, immediately followed by a discussion of how all the types are implicit and how confusing that can be. No mention of how you would remember that `f64` is the default floating point type...

This is a worthy attempt and probably a good first draft. It's definitely a document that needs to exist, but in its current state, it's an gentle intro that only a disaffected C++ programmer could love. But please keep working on it--I need something like this.
>It'll make you a millionaire easy.

That wasn't in dispute. The issue in contention is moving out of the middle class.

> "Tesla is extremely clear that Autopilot requires the driver to be alert and have hands on the wheel."

I am a Tesla fan, and although I previously didn't understand the criticism for the name, I now see some negatives of a name like "autopilot". IMO it implies non-intervention (and yes I know Tesla warns about this etc), but at the current stage of technology and regulation, maybe "autopilot" wasn't the best naming choice?
