Yep, 205/2048 = .10009..

This is something I'm actually using, as I'm serializing small int's (0-99). For those it all fits in 16 bits.
Garbage Collection is a very consequential design decision. To free that last unused object is going to take O(total writable address space) memory bandwidth.
Plus the myriad of municipalities that all want a say. It's no coincidence that the BART doesn't go all the way down the Peninsula, stopping just before Burlingame. The rich homeowners there didn't want the SF riff-raff coming to their town, therefore commuters are stuck with the Caltrain.
It would hold or not hold depending on the specifics, what "helping" mean in that case. I could take an extreme case and ask you if the engineers designing the computer that "helped" them cheat are also morally responsible ?

And I don't care about the consequences for the cheater, as long as it doesn't fallback on someone innocent or who did not voluntarily agreed to be part of the scheme

The jump from 32GB and 64GB is definitely price differentiation. But $50 for more memory on an expensive toy isn't that bad either (or maybe Apple has conditioned me to think this way).

Doing their assignments (well) contributes to grade inflation
Why do we have TLDs at all? If ANY COMBINATION OF LETTERS is now a TLD, we should be able to register myname.whatever if I want to, or in fact just whatever as a domain.

Ok, ok, I'll pay GOOGLE, the owner of the internet, for doing this now.
We are epically screwed if our only defense against this is "wear long sleeves and pants" and "try insect repellent"

We have a way for you to express that desire. You can buy the surrounding properties and keep them exactly the same.

That would likely be a major FERPA violation.
Uh, no. Mosquitos have killed around 50% of humans that have ever lived through malaria.
AWS and Google are companies. It's not their job to push for societal changes really. In fact, I hope they don't push for those. I'd prefer them to steer clear of pushing for any higher objectives, that's best left to governments and lawmakers.
Amazon isn't targeting Signal, this is their new policy based on (mostly) abusers (though I doubt Signal was intentionally trying to abuse the system for malicious reasons). Hopefully this doesn't get spun out of control, but the title of this post seems to be spinning it.
Yeah. Feminism. Thrasher's bro boarding King of Road machismo is going to get old really fast. The moment someone starts a feminism skate mag I'll be all about it.
I don't know, I don't really see a parallel between a writing assignment and a high-pressure situation like an interview. The latter is essentially impossible to cheat on with anything resembling plagiarism.
Since Signal is open source, presumably anybody can fork it with a version that implements domain fronting.
That's the issue. If someone gets the name just to sell crap guitars built in China with no quality control then the brand is screwed forever.
And that might only increase in the future

But that's the artificial stakes we're talking about, right? The school chose to make and enforce that rule. What inherently high-stakes situation is that preparing them for?
>Academic grades and degrees, to the extent that they affect your life after academia, should be based on what you can accomplish or explain, not how well you can write answers

That doesn't even make sense. Besides, what's to stop them from cheating on that too?
We had an applicant interview for an Oracle position. He did really well in the phone interviews and video interviews. Hired him, and wouldntyouknow, he looked very different in person. After a week of on boarding, it was pretty obvious that he had paid someone to do his interviews...
My guess is the great depression killed funding or interests.

It’s hard to believe, but just malaria—which is transmitted exclusively by mosquitoes—is responsible for on the order of half of all human deaths throughout history.

I wouldn't hire you. Attitudes matter. Trust matters. No way would I hire you, given the views you express.
Well that's the thing about the slippery slope argument... it always leads to jackbooted thugs marching into your living room and by then it's too late

Having heard this argument made so many times in my lifetime, I've been awaiting the sound of the jackboots on the stairwells for decades

This eternal vigilance has now become tiresome. So much to watch for, I don't think I can keep it up
An amazing amount of land opened up in the Bay Area that could have been used for housing developement with the closing of many military bases (The Presidio, Treasure Island, Alameda Naval station, Concord Naval Base, Hunters Point) and the closing of salt production in the South Bay. While a few of these areas are finally seeing some construction[1] 20 years later, the density is often low and the amount of acres set aside for green space seems excessive to me. Treasure Island, for instance, is 465 acres with 300 of those acres as parks. Cargill handed over 15,000 acres of salt ponds to state and federal agencies for wetland restoration in 2002. No housing planned. For comparison all of San Francisco is 30,000 acres.

I admit it's not fair to blame C in particular. The comparison is between how we write and execute software and how we could write and execute software, and the language absolutely comes into play, in addition to how the language is conventionally used. "Legacy" code in this context is code that was written in the past and is not going to be updated or rewritten.

I disagree that tasks performed by a computer either don't parallelize or the cost of synchronization is too high. At a fine-grained level, our compilers vectorize (i.e. parallelize) our code -- with limits imposed by C's "fake low-levelness" as described in the article -- and then our processors exploit all the parallelism they can find in the instructions. At a coarser level, even if calculating a SHA (say) isn't parallelizable, running a git command computes many SHAs. The reasons why independent computations are not done on separate processors -- even automatically -- come down to programming language features (how easy is it to express or discover the independence, one way or another) and real or perceived performance overhead. Hardware can be designed so that synchronization overhead doesn't kill the benefits of parallelization. GPUs are a case in point.

The world is going in the direction of N cores. We'll probably get something like a mash-up of a GPU and a modern CPU, eventually. If C had been overtaken by a less imperative, more data-flow-oriented language, such that everyone could recompile their code and take advantage of more cores, maybe these processors would have come sooner.
IANAL, but I could set my own completely custom user agent - I don't even need much technical expertise, a simple browser add-on would suffice - and by logging that string, I could be (depending on how unique I made my own user agent) uniquely identified.

Out of all the metrics Caddy plans to collect, it's the only one I think has some merit to its complainants. It might be simpler to only keep user agents that conform to common browser standards. But this has all been discussed in the Caddy forum thread itself, and we'd welcome your input there!
Aren't those the artificial high stakes we're talking about? I'm asking what inherently high-stakes situation that is preparing you for.
I disagree. COBOL itself as about as expressive as BASIC and twice as ugly.

The environment is also terrible but separating COBOL from the environment is pointless.
If I'm the essay writer, how is your morality forcing me to stop doing it ? Unless it become law, and actually enforced, your morality is meaningless.
This is not waht's in the title of the article!
The title says the account is threatened to be closed on the grounds of circumventing censorship!
Big fat lie!

The account suspension threat is based on using something that is not permitted! Knowingly not permitted, illegitimate use!
surfing, too.
Doesn't look like anything to me ...

Seriously - in latest Vivaldi it's so large that even zooming out the furthest (20%) I can't make out anything. The static images from the glitched browsers in the comments above are great though.
Their marketplace, groups and events have took some marketshare in the country I live in (albeit a small one). For example, for cars, I relied on Facebook as most users moved there. Many events are now running on Facebook as they can "spam" users with the invites. It is not there yet adoption wise, but also their product is not up to the standards of eventbrite for example.
Cheating is a form of dishonesty and selfishness, and breaks the social contract we rely on for a well functioning society. Some people can get away with it, and honest people bear the burden of the cost of damage. If dishonesty becomes an acceptable strategy for navigating society, it becomes the only effective strategy.
A liberal fantasy isn't heavy regulation of business, it's regulations to prevent/punish corporate robbers from exploiting the public. It's only a fantasy because corporations are buying politicians to let them further chain the populace and siphon their money in as many ways as they can get away with (and no, just not buying their product is often not a good enough solution or is hardly even a choice, like private prisons or the electrical grid).
According to the article, that's exactly what they're doing.
It's a frustratingly common thing. People think that talking about tolerance and inclusion and being more welcoming gives them personal permission to be rude, mean, intolerant and unwelcoming - maybe because they thought they already earned enough "credits" so they can afford this behavior? Or that they are "on the right side" of whatever, so it's OK to do what they just were publicly decrying doing - to the people "on the wrong side"? Scott Alexander wrote an excellent blog post about it: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything...
... yes? "My target is also guilty" is not a defense against fraud...
This too! I've seen in happen as well in my quest to delete a couple years ago.

The UX is useless by design to make it really hard to bulk delete, the backend is shitty and you can't see your content on friend's walls that disabled their account.

It is bad to the point that you wonder if it is on purpose. My guess is that it is. "Shitty product" as a deterrent to deletion.
...considering just how much got done with, say, the 6502, saying you're not getting anything done with 70s-era ICs is patently ludicrous. 70s-era microprocessors brought us the home computer revolution.

Great articles. I only wish he had written about what actually happened during the performance competition that he built up.

The part where the person thinks they have some right to tell others what to do with their properly-zoned property while simultaneously refusing to pay for that right?
OpenGL started out as being a pretty high level language and 1.0 certainly doesn't map closely to modern hardware at all. But APIs and hardware have moved closer together over time, and stuff like CUDA and Vulkan use models that are a pretty close match to the hardware they run on. When writing CUDA you can reasonably figure the number of cycles an operation will take, and benchmarking will agree, unlike CPUs that have become so non-deterministic that they are much harder to reason about.

That said, I wouldn't look to those as examples for how to design a good "low-level" CPU language, as CPUs and GPUs solve very different problems.
Let me play devil's advocate, and say that some personal data may not be immediately useful, but if continued to get collected, may become useful (for commercial exploitation) later.

For example, an online shop might collect customer addresses, even if the sale is purely digital. If the shop ever decides to expand to physical goods, those addresses will be very useful to find an optimal location.

However, GDPR prevent the shop from collecting (or more accurately, raises the cost of doing so), since the use, and value of, said data only becomes apparent in the future. So the shop makes the best choice now to remove the collection, and then suffer the future disadvantage.

- All clothes that you wear into the woods should be treated with permethrin. (Don't apply DEET, because mixing permethrin with DEET is neurotoxic.)

- Pants should always be tucked into socks.

- Wear light-colored clothing so that ticks are easier to see before they get onto your skin.

- Wear something like boxer briefs where there is tight elastic on both the wasteband and thighs.

- If you get a tick in a certain park, never go back to that park. The distribution of ticks is highly uneven, so this is surprisingly effective.

- Always check yourself in the mirror as soon as you get home, and then immediately take a shower and make sure you check every square inch of your body.

- Any clothes you wore into the woods should either go into the laundry, or else be stored in a sealed container so that any ticks on your clothing can't start running around your bedroom.

Tickborne illnesses are extremely serious, difficult or impossible to diagnose, and often deadly. But if you always follow these basic steps then you can eliminate the vast majority of the risk.

Scientists used to believe that it took 24 hours after getting bitten to transmit tickborne illnesses, but this is no longer the case. When in doubt just do the 21 days of doxycycline, although obviously this isn't something you ever want to have to do. (Some tickborne illnesses aren't treatable with doxycycline, but this is a good starting point absent other specific symptoms.)
Every creature in an ecosystem serves some niche and is part of a very complex balance, and willful eradication of an entire species is extremely irresponsible in that no one can know every consequence.
How to Migrate a Simple Web Server from Azure to Alibaba Cloud
High-level and low-level are relative, to be sure, but Java is definitely considered higher-level than C -- it was designed to target a virtual machine, for example, while C was designed to target real machines -- so I think it illustrates the article's point perfectly.
I’ve got a bunch of ideas on cheap, simple mosquito traps. I’m just not sure where to start. Patents? If anyone wants to help, get in touch.

I guess I should build some prototypes as a first step.
Russia had no problem whatsoever blocking both Amazon and Google when it was blocking Telegram a couple weeks ago. What makes you think this would be any different? In other words, why is Signal being able to operate more important than all of the other people who pay AWS and Google for services?
What do you think of this seed pitch deck?
In what units do you measure "desire-satisfaction" and "promoting creative use"? How do you know that an outcome was optimal?
