Between walking, driving, and biking, biking is the _most_ dangerous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micromort#Travel

Given the same commute you can expect riding a bike to be 23 times more dangerous than driving a car.

Put another way, it looks like people get into car accidents roughly once every 18 years. If instead of driving your car for your commute you rode your bike, you can expect to get into an accident every single year (and then some).

Yeah, I assumed this was the standard mode of operation -- when officers are "sure" there are drugs, then bring in the dog as an "impartial observer" to show probable cause since everyone knows that dogs don't lie. Unless, of course, they are signaled to lie by their handler.
You are simply not correct.

If you can control how threads spawn, like C# thread contexts (for example the MVC context forces async resumes on the original thread rather than an arbitrary one), this is entirely plausible without an 'opt in' model.
Its not a worthless question. However, its worth is drastically diminished by having so many answers, and so many joke answers in there. That people didn't want to curate it so that the joke answers and duplicate answers are removed and set a standard for providing an answer that is more than one line is why that type of question is closed - it takes too much time for the community that wants to maintain the site to curate it and keep it at a quality that matches the rest of the site.

The format that SE provides is a very direct Q&A that tries to cut out all of the excess and gives a single good answer. There are other sites that are better cut out for polling questions and other sites that do a better job of "what is the best ...?"

Trying to make everything fit in the SE framework puts a burden on the community that moderates and curates the material, and at some point people have said "enough" because they don't want to and others haven't stepped up to do it.

The "wrong for the format" is part of the design of the site. Note here that we're talking in a thread. You can follow the discussion. SE was designed to make discussions awkward. When there's a discussion on a site of significant scale, it becomes unmanageable and detracts from the Q&A focus. If that is a good design decision or a bad one is up to debate - but it is the design decision of SE. And there are so many other places where that discussion could be had. Why not ask that question here? or over on a competing discourse site ( https://www.askquestions.tech was started by April who wrote the post that sparked much of this)?

If Programmers (now Software Engineering) has failed is also up for debate. The name change wasn't so much of a "it failed" but rather "people keep getting the wrong impression of topicality" because yes, it took too much time to keep trying to keep the topic on what the powers that be wanted to moderate and no one else was willing to do the job of curating the content of the larger programmers scope... and after all, they're all volunteers - its really hard to make volunteers volunteer to do something they're not interested in doing.

The name change meta post is at https://softwareengineering.meta.stackexchange.com/questions... (see also the linked questions).
One way to interpret this is to focus on the pay, and just how wonderful it is.

The other way is to ask why they must pay so much? Alphabet must be a relatively awful place to work. Something is very wrong if they pay is this high.

I'm not convinced.

https://www.iubenda.com/blog/device-fingerprinting-and-cooki...

My understanding is that anything that enables fingerprinting is potentially covered.

[EDIT] So, here's a better link that specifically discusses fingerprinting and user agents in a post-GDPR world:

https://www.connectedpath.com/all-posts/2018/3/3/gdpr-and-fi...

My assumption was that the GDPR was attempting to be sufficiently broad such as to cover these kind of fingerprinting techniques but I guess not?

At least the second link makes it sound like at least some portion of people are likely to turn more towards device fingerprinting techniques specifically because they are GDPR-safe.
That's great, thanks! I was also curious if you hit scale issues on just one hub. I agree, it's best practice to not have all your eggs in one basket. I'd love to see an HA hub where this would be all taken care of for me, but hopefully by the time we go live we'll have this.

> You even get better aliasing optimizations* using union/bit fields over just using bit shifts.

My own experience with bit field optimizations was that they were worse in general for GCC and ARM compilers from 4+ years ago. LLVM was much better. For example if you tried to set a few fields that fit within a machine word to a constant value, it should be possible to set them in a single opcode but only LLVM takes the liberty to do this.

It's quite funny how most people say they hate the WinBox interface.

I agree with you, but just because we believe that doesn't make it common sense or "just." To someone else, the idea that someone who broke the law would be released simply because the law changed is a violation of justice (the ex post facto argument). The fact that I personally think it's an unjust outcome to leave them in jail (or throwing them in jail in the first place), doesn't mean that my opinion is the only correct one (I'm not a strict moral relativist, but I concede they have some good points).

This isn't the case with marijuana. No conclusion has been reached that it is "wrongfully illegal," it's just not something we want to continue prosecuting for.

This does not excuse the actions of those currently in prison for drug offenses-- we aren't punishing them because marijuana is/was illegal, we're punishing them because they decided they didn't have to abide by the law at the time it existed.

If you can see the difference in these things well I really do not know where to go from here.

>> But let's not only trot out that defense when we're looking at white-collar criminals who remind us of ourselves and look the other way for others.

You know nothing about my advocacy or when I do or do not "trot out that defense". I am almost universally Anti-Statism, being a Libertarian I talk about and advocate against all manner of government abuse, most of which is more massive (like police murdering people) than this.

Simply because I am also using it here does not mean I only talk about it for " white-collar criminals" nor do those other abuses negate this abuse. If that is your metric then no one should ever complain about the US Government at all since NK is worse... It is bullshit argument

I dont believe it should be considered a criminal enterprise.

>If you can control how threads spawn

This is an opt in model.

In general, it is not possible to know if an arbitrary thread will halt. That's the halting problem. You can restrict yourself and make sure that all threads 'return' on completion (promises, futures), or do various other things. But in an unrestricted system, it is provably impossible to know whether or not an arbitrary thread will halt.
Big companies are amazingly efficient, just not in terms you consider. They earn way more dollars for each dollar spent than smaller companies. They can do that by having income sources beyond wildest dreams of smaller companies. That's the reason they got big in the first place.

And why from the point of view of footsoldier things don't look as efficient as they could be? Because they don't have to. Because inefficiency you see is negligible and trying to eliminate it could cost more money than it's worth. Heck, some income streams are larger if you work slower than you could. You could be harming your bottom line by making things more efficient.
"ABI-specific" should be broader, more portable than "compiler specific"; different compilers must implement the same ABI on a given system (or else not interoperate). Of course bitfields are endian-specific, but two different compilers should agree on them for a given endian.

Ya,but the newest Cortex-M chips (M7, M22, and M33) do not even support bit-banding, so I wouldn't rely on that being around forever.

Not quite sure why ARM removed it. Maybe there were performance costs to all instructions due to the extra hw/decode, while bit-banding only helped a small number of instructions.

If anyone has more info, would love to hear!

Ultrasound processing is actually pretty niche: you have a whole bunch of channels with a very high sample rate (tens of MHz). In the case of medical ultrasound, a typical handheld ultrasound probe can have range from 50 to 150 parallel channels.

Because you need fast, parallel DSP, FPGAs actually really shine for ultrasound. And because production volumes are relatively low, the NRE to jump to an ASIC generally isn't justified. Just about every modern ultrasound machine does signal processing on an FPGA.
It seems like the idealist model of science - observable data, falsifiable hypothesis, repeatable experiment - is often not how science works. Aeon has a good article on this subject.

Bitfields are too useful of a feature not to use. The solution is simple: add a unit test to verify that setting one bitfield to all 1's will result in the overall 32-bit or 64-bit word having the expected value.

Add a comment explaining this too.

That will catch nonportable use in the future.

Where in the article is the allegation or assertion of invention? Wittgenstein was focused on the philosophy of language (see Tractatus, Philsophical Investigations, the brown book, etc).

Also, not all philosophy is logic.
This is something we spend a lot of time thinking about at Launch School. You need the right pedagogy for the right phase of learning (https://launchschool.com/pedagogy).

Most article writers aren't differentiating their audience enough, making their articles difficult to read for most people. There is a huge variance of "beginners", for example. Further, most developers who write these articles don't have a holistic learning framework in mind. Lastly, I'm seeing far too many technical tutorials just for SEO or attracting eyeballs lately. These articles are great for attracting attention but are typically technically shallow and add to the confusion rather than help.
It's hard to defend something like this, but i think it's important to know that this only affects MikroTik devices with the SMB service enabled (disabled by default).

Normally I’m pro simple answers but I think this answer over simplifies a bit too far. When it comes to allocating state revenue just having a presence in a state doesn’t mean as much as “where services are performed” or products sold. It’s a heck of a dance dealing with these issues some tax time.
(Retyped is part of the Bridge.NET C# -> JS/TypeScript converter)

It’s super exciting too see Bridge maintaining its place in a world that includes both C# -> WebAsm and mature TypeScript ecosystems.

I’d started to wonder if Bridge still had a role to play now that those two ecosystems are maturing, but I think the marshalling cost between WebAsm and JS/Dom is likely to discourage full WebAsm implementations in many cases, and if it does the ability to do seamless code sharing between frontend TypeScript and backend C# is pretty killer.
If you are doing research, you cannot, by definition, put a firm value on it beforehand. At best, with applied research, you can estimate a loose upper bound in the case of it being successful. Without exploratory science, we would not even have the basis to make hypotheses.
And that they grew to this point before imposing this "curation". It seems to be a recurring theme with these companies to grow to a monopoly with a place for relatively free discourse and then to do this as soon as they feel safe.
But for embedded software, ABI-specific isn't (usually) an issue. I have never seen an embedded project that changed either architectures ore compilers in the middle. In embedded, once you start the project, you're almost always using the same tooling until it dies. (Even moving to the latest rev of a compiler is rarely done, in my experience.)

So you can use bitfields, however they have to be defined to work with your compiler/architecture/hardware, and expect that they're going to continue to work for the duration. (Whether bitfields are a bad idea for other reasons is outside the scope of my comment.)
> So Recylers get thousands of systems annually that are perfectly serviceable, fully licensed with windows but they can not use that license because there is no restore CD and they have no way to obtain one. Thus MS does them a "favor" buy selling them a new license for $25 instead of just providing a way for them to restore the system

Then why don't the recyclers just get one restore CD and make copies? They could save almost $25/system....

The solution is just to make sure you have padding fields that result in an overall size that's a multiple of however many bits e.g. 32 or 64 bits. Use static_assert() to enforce the size.

See my earlier comment about unit testing too.

> My most recent understanding is that if they’re using the DUNS number as a part of the Apple Developer program, we should recommend that they email appdeveloper@dnb.com and they will advise you how to apply for your situation. Just let them know that you’re representing a US company trying to get a DUNS number but that you’re headquartered in [country outside of the US if that’s an additional consideration].

As for the solaris it is probably only UNIX where ignoring the ISO C rule that anything ending with "_t" is reserved for implementation will bite you hard as solaris' libc headers are probably the main reason for that and typedef stuff like lock_t.

As for the rest doing cycle exact emulation of 50 year old system is and probably always will be doable and from some PoV trivial: you can just simulate the hardware logic of the original implementation on RTL or even gate level and it still will be faster than realtime.

[Edit: "reserved for implementation" was missing from the first paragraph]
