HUST (Huazhong University of Science and Technology), HIT Shenzhen (Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen campus). These are ones I can name right away. If you add "another China," it will also be NTUST, NTU for semiconductor engineering (this is the one and only way to get a TSMC internship.)

I'm trying to remember others. I do remember that some well regarded ones are not even universities per se, but vocational colleges with 2 year diplomas.

I'll add Harbin Engineering Uni and Shenyang Uni for actual engineering studies. Heavy industry, aerospace, do shop here. Both have near nil prominence on research, but it is their undergraduate papers people are for.

It may be surprising that North-East of China other than Beijing gets engineering cred, but this is where the original Chinese industrial and arms manufacturing complex were. If you look up on the list of Chinese arms manufacturers, and in each city having a big plant, you have an accompanying "feeder" university.

Nanyang Tech has cred in mainland, but it seems that it only has a very small grad school detachment there.

South China University of Technology - simply because it is big, and is in the heart of the industrial agglomeration.

A general mid-tier option are central universities of peripheral provinces. Not they are prominent in a research domain, but companies shopping grads there look for people who genuinely got admission with good exam marks, but did not have money to go to top tier universities (read, they are cheap brain).

Fudan Uni Zhangjiang campus - probably the only uni in China that feeds domestic semiconductor industry with high-to-mid-tier cadres, well it was opened with this as its main mandate.

One last thing to note - China was and is scooping Eastern European and Indian grads by tonnes, being a foreigner from a Chinese uni does not give you much of a hand on a job market just for that alone.
STM's documentation is a bit of a mess. I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner unless you're piggybacking off a development board that uses an STM32 core. This way you can learn snippets of ARM code, but leverage an easier to use framework.

Have a look at Atmel/Microchip's AVR documentation, it's worlds better. That plus avrlibc and a few tutorials and you're golden.
Things were more affordable 50 years ago when there was a single parent working, then the precedent shifted to two parents and the cost of living adjusted accordingly. I don't see any reason that that wouldn't happen again in this case - to keep up you'd need to steadily increase the number of workers until you're an ant colony.
Very interesting, thanks for the pointer.
The burden is on tech-workers. They should make sure for which company they are selling their talents.
You’re right that there’s no official “lemon limit”, but hey do have a process for it - it’s called ‘CRU’ (Customer Replacement Unit). It’s unlikely that they’ll offer it unprompted, but really after three repairs I find it difficult they would deny your request to have the laptop replaced.

It does require approval by a manager/“Lead Genius”, but you can get there by being reasonable.

That doesn't change my answer. If you have a system in which doctors carry out shady tactics and are able to "get around the rules without getting caught", and that system is so rife with such issues that you have to actively "shop around" to avoid them, then the system is failing.
Same thoughts here. I don't have too much time to chit chat with the trainer there, I know it's required but for example I would keep exchanges to a minimum.

If this property would override default behavior, then it should be set to true, not false, i.e., not_thenable=true instead of thenable=false.
That's alright. "But somebody's going to do it, why not me" is a slippery slope to evil.
Perpetual motion machines are disfavored because they break a law of physics, not merely because they involve a stack of complicated mechanisms, each of which fixes a problem introduced by the mechanism below. If you've ever had a complicated medical problem, you know that very often you get drug A to counteract side effects of drug B, which was used treat an infection caused by procedure C which was a necessary precaution before performing treatment D to treat the underlying illness. Yes, sometimes such complicated mechanisms are obfuscating a doomed process, but other times engineering is just complicated. The Saturn V had a lot of interdependent parts too...
RTEMS supports all 32bit hardware architectures. We also run it on a PowerPC controler for a customer project, but it also runs on Sparc, Mips all Arm and many other architectures.

We don’t use the MMU so we don’t need it, some embedded chips have even small MMUs that allows it running Linux size OS but since they have very small translation lookaside buffers it needs to traverse the in RAM page table very often and performance is quite poor then

The name isn't a coincidence. I kind of agree with you, there's a whole lot of words and invented terminology but not much is being said... however solving the problems DLT currently has is (hopefully) doable even if the "well let's add XYZ to the ABC!" approach fails.

Huh? I'm talking about certificate issuance and domain ownership here. If a CA can't verify the domain with the registrar then they fail to issue a certificate, it's as simple as that. It's not like they can get a forged response over HTTPS...

Lump-Sum Investing Is the Best Strategy, Except Now
Not too complicated I would imagine, but it was an MRI, doctor visits, and back injections. One place in town laughed when I called and ask for pricing, and when I said I wanted to pay cash they hung up. So it definitely takes some asking around.

When I had knee surgery years ago, and had good insurance at the time, I asked the doctor about the price just to see. He was quick to say if I wanted/needed to pay cash he could work something out.

So they are out there, but you might have to do some digging.

And again, emergency situations are a completely different beast.

As someone who has torn down and rebuilt a thinkpad or two, I was appalled when I started looking into his and other videos on MBP repair since I've never owned a MBP. They're clearly designed with entirely different priorities; form over function has been pushed way too far thus sacrificing durability and serviceability. I guess that is okay with some people, but given the cost of the machine, I think its ridiculous. Apple can, and should, do better than this.
Sure, but do you think those riots will come first: China or Land of the Free (Home of Depraved)?
The section I particularly have a problem with is "How is the randomness for random sampling generated?" Everyone seems to think this is a solved problem but the reality is it is extremely difficult to solve. (The same problem exists for proof of stake schemes)

There is lots of complex cryptography, game theory and economics involved in working out if a robust solution really exists. The most commonly stated solution is something called a "Threshold Signature Scheme". Threshold signatures schemes (and threshold cryptography in general) have two main problems.

Firstly they don't scale well. As you add participants you need lots of extra rounds of communication and computation.

Secondly they aren't resistant to Sybil attacks. The proposed way around this is to link participation to a stake of coins (yep back to proof of stake) such that launching a Sybil attack requires lots of coins. This is not trivial however because of the "Nothing at Stake" problem where stake can be used to participate in many forks of a scheme at the same time.
All good points. My co-worker drives from medford, despite being just a few miles away, it's a 30-40 minute drive. I've never lived in the southern part of MA, but Google Maps still makes it look like an hour-ish drive from either of those towns.

I'm not complaining, just noting that it's the tax of working in cities with a lot of economic activity. The major alternative is moving to a smaller city with fewer job options, but higher quality of life, e.g. Salt Lake City, which only has 3-4 unicorns, but balances that with 5 minute commutes to gorgeous new construction. Pick your poison!
I thought Jeff Dean built everything at Google.. :)
That's an interesting tool, but merely among other. Not the next big things to structure thread usage. There are loads of problems if we wanted to generalize that solution as fundamental, and a quick review of the state of the art (of which we can have a quick preview by taking a look at these very comment threads on HN) show a wide spectrum of alternatives, sometimes for similar and sometimes for somewhat different use cases.

I see fundamental issues with it: in some cases the checking model proposed by Rust is better; also - and this is related -, your don't always fix things reliably by mindlessly extending lifetimes or delaying things until termination of others, in the same way that mindlessly switching a resource usage to a shared_ptr in C++ if you had a lifetime issue can't be done in the general case, because you could very well only be trading a bug for another. Checking capabilities are more useful and general than constructive limitations, especially when we have load of counter examples on use cases.

So without hesitation: yes, this is more structured than having no structure on the point considered, but that is not at all a sufficient criteria to make that the kind of panacea the author seems to think it is. I would have been way more positive in seeing that presented as a comparison with the other existing solutions, similar or not, and without that little escape hatch story that makes me thing the author has found a hammer and now everything looks like a nail to them.

There's a few problems there, but these amount to UEFI being a terrible, abominable spec.

The specification doesn't say that an implementation must not change the memory map inside ExitBootServices, and in practice many runtime drivers clean up or even perform RT Data allocations in that path. This results in the "MapKey is incorrect" error returned to the caller. (I've seen some that modify ACPI and SMBIOS on the fly inside the ExitBootServices path, awful, awful, awful).

So yes, the program calling ExitBootServices must be written to retry the call even if it really did avoid sandwiching any calls to UEFI between the last GetMemoryMap and ExitBootServices.

The other big Achille's heel of UEFI in general is the SetVirtualAddressMap() RT call and RT Services support in general, but Tiano's driver model makes it particularly easy to shoot yourself in the face and end up with an implementation that forces the OS to call RT services with identity mappings or even with mappings for supposedly non-RT regions. Ugh. MMIO is a favorite one to "forget" to add to the memory map as an RT entry.

UEFI uses the PE format for binaries, but doesn't actually mandate how PE should be used or what the allowed relocations are. You could build a PE binary that amounted to, say, tons of executable segments, each of which will be a separate memory map entry. Now since UEFI doesn't mandate exactly how an OS will assign virtual addresses (for SetVirtualAddressMap), nor exposes relative grouping of memory descriptors (forcing the OS to relocate these keeping relative distances) I can imagine a situation where RT drivers could break if the OS decided to aggressively compact the address map or instead introduce random large VA gaps between RT memory map entries.

I'm an ancap, so I completely agree with you from a moral perspective... but c'mon. We all know that's not how the law works.
I would say the "Proof of Stake" they're planning to move towards also defies the law of physics.
Change in job or responsibilities, when offices are allocated based on status or job description. E.g you’re a manager so you rate an office, and you move to product manager and suddenly the rules say you should be in an open space.
Or space pressure gradually ups the threshold for a single office (initial rule is for managers, then managers of teams larger than X, than department heads only...) and your career progresssion fails to keep up. Or change in HR policies...
I agree the entry fee of $50,000 is 1/3 of the cost in the US - I hope a lot of start-ups will add banking services to their business models as such (cash -> bitcoin <-> cash and in any amount giving payments to 3rd world partners for goods and services) Thus the Belt&Road project would have one currency
No, actually it was exactly the example I made, in the case of libel someone with a recognized authority (a Court) can seize/impound the libelous material and prohibit further publication (and of course not destroy each and every copy in the wild), but the procedure is very different from someone (remember not necessarily the actual Author, actually only the owner of the domain/site at a given moment) being able to prevent access to archived material published in the past (material that does not represent a libel and is not violating any Law) only because he/she can.
I concur with the "meta" answer implied by many folks here:

Also:

Data shows working consistently is a pre-requisite & often a benefit in and of itself.

Hmmm. PostgreSQL treats output rowsets as their own thing, so this works differently in a subquery than in a top-level query. Not that that's desireable, it's just a consequence of an implementation that gives a lot more flexibility in other areas (table functions, for example, where Postgres goes well beyond the standard). So looking at the standard I agree that having your example work is superior to not having it work. I'd appreciate a footnote for that particular item for Postgres, though, since the most common forms of GROUP BY dependencies do work.
I vaguely recall a reboot Twilight Zone or reboot Outer Limits where a rich woman paid a doctor to keep her alive by any means necessary, and ended up being just a head on a pedestal with one robot arm, that was limited in its range of motions such that it could not aim a gun at the head.

And also In Fallout 4: Nuka World, where the Walt Disney expy character was just an immortal head in a tiny Vault-Tec bunker.

No, it’s a Hacker News ‘feautre’. There are a number of topics/keywords that analysis found were being automatically weighted down for, I guess, generally being low quality and spammy, or rarely leading to useful discussions. I guess the intent is that the proper and good posts should “work harder” to push up through the weight.

> given that other relevant information like quality of care is available as well?

Well first off, that's not a given. The article only mentions Medicare using price and electronic medical records as a way of 'rating' providers. I can't find anything similar about Medicare rating providers based on quality of care.

Second, look up the situation with Lasik eye clinics. Another user in this thread suggested it as a "great example of a highly functional healthcare market" driven by price competition. In reality, price competition in the Lasik market has caused eye clinics to operate more like car salesmen (complete with sales commissions, aggressive/pushy sales tactics, and deceptive marketing), and not like someone who actually has your best medical interests in mind.

I'm not saying that simply introducing price competition to hospitals will lead to something like that, but it's certainly an example of price competition not being a good thing.
Agreed. It's a bad UX convention even; such as error alerts reading

"Are you sure you want to not save the document? [YES] [NO]"
I've had a bit of experience with Route 9 in Framingham. You have this one light near a Whole Foods which causes a massive backup, it can go for miles. The reason? There's another street that comes in at around a 30-40 degree angle to route 9, and it gets its own light cycle rather than having an on-ramp.

Big problem in RI, if you've ever driven down to the south county beaches on Rt 1, you'll actually be on a "highway" that has 6-7 lights. Why not just have off/on-ramps? Infrastructure is hard, apparently no one wants to spend on that.
I think you are scraping the barrel a bit by bringing military cars into it. We are obviously talking about cars for civilian use. A Ford focus is not designed for killing.
As for guns having other uses such as protection or hunting; well I view shooting animals as something only psychopaths do, and as for protection, protection from what? Most countries don't allow civilians to own guns, yet those civilians are not coming to any harm as a result of not having a gun. In fact they are safer! People in developed countries outside of America are safer, did you know that? And they don't have guns! How absurd!
I use a combination of Gmail on the desktop and Inbox on a phone. I tried to use Inbox on desktop for a while, but ended up switching back as the desktop version of Inbox was too dumbed down and controlling for my liking:

- The mobile app arbitrarily doesn't allow labelling something and keeping it in the inbox.

- It puts emails in the inbox under a folder when labelled by a filter, which usually ends obscuring important messages.

- It doesn't have something equivalent to inbox sections (I use the crap out of these as my inbox has multiple different streams of things to action in it from multiple email aliases - personal, business, opensource, travel, bills, etc).

- As others have mentioned, Inbox is not very information dense.

Google sure had a challenge updating Gmail, since there's so many people using it in different ways. It'd be really interesting to see their top usage patterns summarised.
