There’s also the fact that registers may be larger than the numbers stored in them.

The best known example is that of the 80-bit floats of the 8087 FPU, but that’s relatively rare compared to loading integers into larger registers.

For example, if you compile

if( foo + 10 > bar) goto baz

to assembly similar to

move foo to R1
move bar to R2
add 10 to R1
subtract R2 from R1
branch-if-greater-than-zero baz

and foo and bar are 32-bits, that add can overflow if R1 and R2 also are 32-bits, but never overflows if R1 and R2 are 64-bit. That changes the result of the comparison if, for example

foo = INT_MAX
bar = INT_MAX

The designers of the CPU with 64-bits registers may not want to add variants of add (and subtract, mult, etc) that work on 32 bits (and 16 bits, and 8 bits).

They also won’t want to have their C compiler slowing down this kind of code, only because other (often relatively old and slow) CPUs exist.

I looked into doing this briefly, and a couple blockers were that I couldn't find any easy cloud services offering POWER that I could use for testing, the cheapest dev system I could find, the Talos II Development System, is itself $5000 once you add RAM and storage (https://www.raptorcs.com/content/TL2DS1/intro.html, they do have a cheaper system available in pre-order: https://www.raptorcs.com/content/TL1BC1/intro.html), and the C intrinsics that they offer work with special overloaded functions with a vector type extension to C, making it a lot harder to use the approach of just offering wrappers for basic intrinsics and then working on higher-level support on top of that.

Looks like gnzlbg put more effort into it, but ran into similar issues: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/42743#issuecomment-...
Ask HN: Shot in the dark, plain text micro blog
Ages ago I saw a self hosted twitter alternative where you place all of your "tweets" into a plain text file and hosted it anywhere. The format was something like,

2016-03-04T16:30:01Z: Hey @cucumber(https://coolasacuc.com/social.txt), how you doing?

Where when you mentioned someone you broadcasted where their social plain text micro blog was. There was also a CLI for viewing your followed (subscribed) people, and an online service that mirrored any twitter user to this service, so you could talk about a person on twitter.

Does anyone know what this service/protocol/standard/project is/was called?
I love this project. I was disappointed that you don't see Saami in Finland or Norway, there are no aboriginal languages in Australia, no Ainu in Japan, and no Navajo, Seneca, Comanche, and so forth in the United States. It's weird to find Sardinian in Australia but no Yindjibarndi.

It's a nice gesture, but it's a perverse incentive. These retail jobs need to pay a living wage. The philosophy that these jobs are stepping stones, not destinations, is clearly false. This perspective lets Walmart justify perpetual starter wages.
They're serving the same articles.

For "press freedom" defined as the writing and publishing of articles, it's unaffected.

For "press freedom" defined as literally any action a member of the press takes, sure it's affected, but that's a very flawed definition. It's not like drunk driving laws are an infringement on "press freedom", even though they occasionally affect members of the press.

> Wow, amazing that the shoulders of the giants you stand on was never a successful software project.

Those giants you're referring to made a lot of mistakes along the way.

One of those mistakes was blindly trying to force project management practices that were driven by the need to allocate material resources into projects where the only resource that's allocatable is man-hours. In projects whose success is determined by how well are material resources spent, redesigning something midway is something that's entirely unthinkable and can even dictate the project's death. That's not the case in software development projects, where the only resource is the fixed amount of man-hours that's at the project manager's disposal. With the development and adoption of a couple of software engineering practices aimed at preserving the project in a deliverable state, redesigning entire modules is essentially free. Therefore we end up with project management challenges that superficiality may appear to be the same but are actually fundamentally different.

Therefore, different types of constraints result in different optimization problems that lead to different solutions and require different approaches.

> Waterfall was iterative as well, when the needs changed, so did the project plan.

The keyword you've used is "needs". You're assuming that changes are exceptional. They are not. In software projects, requirement changes are the norm, not the exception. Changes aren't needed, they are constant. If your goal is to meet the client's needs then you need to meet the client's needs, and not some line in the sand that has no bearing with the paying customer's goals.

> Based on your comment, I suspect you've never done anything outside of scrum / agile, so you are comparing it to some mythical way of doing things you heard about (undoubtably from scrum consultants.)

You suspected wrong. In fact, I have far more years of experience in waterfall projects in real world engineering projects than in scrum/agile. Waterfall projects make sense when the requirements make sense. Software development projects based on basic software engineering practices don't incorporate some fundamental requirements found in engineering projects, thus their efficiency can and does improve by following adequate practices.

Can you elaborate on that point? Why was it necessary then, but not still necessary now?
When it is sought by the team, consensus-wise, "from below" -- I would absolutely support it. That is the team telling you what works for them, not the management telling the team how it must work.

Read your tone for yourself:

>How is no one raising the possibility that this was done to frame Russia, and that now they have changed their mind for whatever reason (perhaps fear of the ruse being discovered). Surely that’s worth considering.

You start off with a tone of disbelief that this theory that "should be obvious as a possibility" is being overlooked when all the articles I've read quote Russian sources espousing exactly that theory.

Then you don't actually provide any reasoning or evidence as to why the official story doesn't hold up, nor do you provide any evidence to support your theory.

Your theory itself doesn't make sense to me. Faking someone's death as a PR stunt that will draw media attention and scrutiny is risky. I don't see how the massive risk of credibility loss for Ukraine is worth the relatively small PR hit to Russia. The cost / benefit analysis just doesn't seem worth it.

A far more realistic theory was that the attempted hit was real, has some plausible connection to Russia, but the staging of the reporter's death was done with an eye strongly on the extra media attention and PR implications that it would bring to the case rather than solely for investigative purposes.

Most successful compliance regimes balance the need for regulation against incumbency bias by making the regulation more stringent for larger firms. Restaurants, for example. If GDPR had envisioned a €1 million global revenue floor for everything but the civil liability components, it would have been successful.

On the flip side, I think those that have been more fortunate (as in acquiring obscene wealth) have a duty of noblesse oblige to the society and people that helped them get there.

The fact that so many shop at Walmart is what keeps the Walton family wealthy. Why would it be wrong to expect them to pay that back in some way? Nobody is saying they should go broke doing it, but they owe their success not only to their business acumen and good decisions but to the people that continue to shop there in the face of alternatives.

Shifting some compensation to tuition will likely benefit Walmart in two ways: 1) attract a younger workforce who is less likely to incur health insurance expense, a strategy they’ve discussed since 2005 [1] and 2) recruit a more educated employee base who can make college-educated, middle-income customers feel comfortable shopping at Walmart.

Of course you can have a pointer to a local variable, and that variable can still spend portions of its lifetime in a register.

What won't necessarily work as expected is a shadily obtained pointer to a local variable, like by displacing &i to try to point to the same location as &j.

If &j doesn't occur anywhere (or does occur, but in a way that is optimized away), j may not even have a location.

They were for a long time, especially when they didn't collect sales tax. Many people just stopped comparison shopping and haven't realized the situation's changed.

Not necessarily. Oddly enough, Best Buy is the most convenient for me (for electronics), and it's usually not any more expensive than Amazon, at least for the stuff I buy. Amazon less convenient due to the hassle with their delivery delays and packing materials.
Problem is, that's a recipe for management ignoring all the stuff that gives developers power and agency, and taking all the micromanaging things.
Most languages have no concept of undefined behavior and they still have compilers and runtimes that can do a huge amount of optimizations.

I'm bothered by the fact that it took Consumer Reports testing to discover this issue and to have it fixed. Where was Tesla's QC on this before all this? The CR break tests don't appear to be anything unusual.
Nope, they don’t. The “volunteer” reviewers are drawn from past published authors, who in turn had their articles selected by previously published reviewers. Turtles all the way down.
This is purely speaking from my own experience, but I feel like the fears are themselves rationalizations like "oh man why can't I do X, maybe it's because I'm afraid". They themselves aren't necessarily a root cause.

I take medication for ADHD, which actually helps a lot with this. Sometimes those fears and anxieties aren't there, or if they are it's easier to push through to accomplish what needs to get done.

If you want exposure to bitcoin prices without having the risk of leaving bitcoins on an exchange (or gasp, holding them yourself), then futures are an alternative. If people are buying exposure through futures instead of buying bitcoins, that's going to reduce demand and the price.

I did some quick searching, and my gut feeling would appear to be correct: It is not legal to delete user data in order to avoid fulfilling a subject access request. It is okay if data has been routinely modified or deleted, but it must not be a result of the access request.

Quoting the Information Commisioner's Office:

Q: We have received a request but need to amend the data before sending out the
response. Should we send out the “old” version?

A: It is our view that a subject access request relates to the data held at the
time the request was received. However, in many cases, routine use of the
data may result in it being amended or even deleted while you are dealing with
the request. So it would be reasonable for you to supply information you hold
when you send out a response, even if this is different to that held when you
received the request.

However, it is not acceptable to amend or delete the data if you would not
otherwise have done so. Under the DP Bill, it is an offence to make any
amendment with the intention of preventing its disclosure.
There's so much research about procrastination, and any everybody does it, in some form or another.

Is procrastinating the norm and being driven the exception? Is something "wrong" with people that are more often than not doing everything on time? Maybe raised in a certain way, or exhibiting uncommon neural patterns.

Doing research on why people procrastinate might be like researching why people aren't running as fast as Usain Bolt.

A similar thing happened in France in the 80ies:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matei_Pavel_Haiducu

A Romanian spy was reluctant to conduct an assassination of two dissidents living in France. So he contacted the french secret services (DST). And fake attempts/executions were staged.

The one that was "killed" officially stayed low for ~3 months, which enabled the (ex-)spy to fetch his brother in Bucharest and defect to the West.

If working retail, mopping floors and stocking shelves is not an entry level job, in your opinion, then what is?

Getting married "at a certain age" (i.e. young) isn't necessarily a bad thing. On the contrary, I'd argue that being a parent (or grandparent!) while you're still young, active, and in good health is a wonderful thing. It's blindly succumbing to social pressure to make financially disastrous decisions that must be avoided. Go ahead an have a wedding party too, but do it on your terms.

Could you expand on this a little? I've dabbled with go build, but it didn't make me want to run screaming away from CMake. Where do you think it's not doing the right thing? I really like that it can generate project files that let me use the most useful debuggers on whatever platform I'm targeting. I think some aspects of its scripting language are a challenge to work with, but that has felt like a small price to pay for being able to easily work/debug in VS on Windows, Xcode on Mac, etc.
