Writing an OS/2 backend for a language that uses LLVM isn't impossible, but it's hard, hard work. Writing or porting a linker, implementing the low-level parts of the Rust runtime.

Fixing bugs likely requires being fluent in all of Rust, C++, LLVM IR and OS/2's variant of x86 assembly, and tracing causes from the Rust frontend through a dozen layers and subsystems until their effect show up in x86. You may think I'm exaggerating.
This seems like an oversimplification of Google’s value prop. Crawling the web is a somewhat trivial problem these days - ranking pages, removing spam, personalizing it to the viewer, and doing so in a matter of milliseconds from wherever you are in the world is a far greater problem and competitive advantage.

Pretty sure this is an oversimplification of Google’s value prop.

I didn't say anything about Google's value prop. My point is, whatever their value prop is, it's built on top of their ability to crawl the web at mass scale, and very quickly. So anybody who wants to compete with Google, by being better at "ranking pages, removing spam, personalizing it to the viewer," or whatever, will need to be able to do crawl in a similar manner. IOW, crawling is part of the "price of admission".

No, encrypting certificates falls naturally out of the TLS 1.3 design so not doing this wouldn't have made it easier to implement. I can't help you here, you believe something that's flatly contradicted by the observable facts.

Just in case anybody else is still reading this thread, here's why encrypting certificates falls out naturally:

TLS 1.3 does key exchange (today some variant of Diffie-Hellman) up front. The first message from the client comes with proposed key shares with the client's half of DH done. This means when the server receives that message it can do its half of DH and immediately derive the resulting session keys. It will still need to transmit the public parts of its DH calculations back to the client in plaintext, but alongside and immediately after those it can use encryption, even though neither client nor server are authenticated yet. So everything further is encrypted, including certificates.

The original SSL design uses RSA key exchange, which means nobody can encrypt anything until after the server's certificate has been sent, because the public key is baked into the certificate. This is clever because it inherently authenticates the remote server during key exchange, but it has numerous undesirable properties AND it's slower, so removing RSA key exchange was an early goal of TLS 1.3
So it’s 13.5 years away?

That's very cool.

One time, I decided to just put the phone in my pocket and take my bike to a location. I had the ear buds in my ears, I thought, voice is enough...

Oh my, was I wrong. I ended up missing most turn off in streets due to latency, some crossings made no sense over audio, a total disaster.

So I got a stand to attach the phone to the handle bars... And that works great, for about 20 mins. I live in Australia and the heat of the sun on the phone + google maps using CPU will literally shut off the phone as it reaches 50C+... The phone just turns off on me as I approach the hard-part of the journey... Superb.

So now I just research it before leaving, mentally map it in my mind, look up street view for turn offs... Then I Yolo it all the way. When I finally admit I'm lost, I pull up, bring out the phone and start google maps then...
I thought that the new phrenology (localizing some cognitive activity spatially somewhere in the brain) is dead. Late William Uttal provided empirical arguments to the effect that new phrenology is dead.

This said research is about mouse. Love to see this experiment performed on many human beings, at many sites, but by different research teams, with the the same spatial identity. Meta analysis on these as well. Until then, I am skeptical.
If only we could learn from past experiences, many companies have done that in the past because some CXO thought that they could save some money using hybrid frameworks, didn't go well for them and they ended up writing native apps.

Anything above 24 mL is considered dangerous if you are using refillable tanks. Very few people even bother to that high because it is much too strong. The most I could handle was 12mL, but that was on very low-powered devices.

You go down because you go for more power, partly. When I started, you could only get up to maybe 10w. These days, people are going up to 100, but I'm pretty sure they are not using any nicotine for that.

You also just don't need as much over time. Nicotine also over-ride the flavor.

I think it's sometimes difficult for those that already know how to program to look back and realise what it feels like to not now anything about programming. When you're starting out you're really learning three things at once:

General problem solving, the vernacular and methodology of programming (what's a variable, a function, control structures, how is a program run, what are expressions and statements, etc.), and finally the actual language itself.

The first two are universal across languages, but the third is very different depending on what you pick. A language like Python makes that part much simpler than a language like Rust. There's fewer hoops to jump through, less to keep track of, and you can dive in applying your newfound knowledge of the first two topics.
I remembered that Google invested in Go-Jek, so with this immersive trip and also with the data collected by Go-Jek drivers all around Indonesia, I think they will be able to provide reliable map service for motorbikes.

I used Motorbikes everyday, while in my city it is quite helpful to have Google Maps, sometimes the map just didnt understand about the rules, that this road is one way, that only cars is allowed.

One bad story that I had with Google Maps while riding a motorbike was, Google map decided to reroute itself without me knowing (phone is in my pocket, I only listened the navigation aid), I ended up circling the city back because Google Maps decided that it is the best way to get to my destination. I wasted an hour circling the city before I noticed I was heading back to the direction where I came fron and stopped to check the Google Maps app and noticed it routing me through another routes.

We do not even have good enough data to support IQ results in a single generation related to this... (there are problems when checking across cultures)
Additionally, the tests were modified over time.

Is the reaction test the same? Was it checked for reproducibility? Has an alternative hypothesis of slower muscle speed been excluded?

So, drawing any conclusion from these numbers is very, very risky, even riskier over time - unless you somehow invent time travel and give Victorian era people the exact same test we give people now.

Remember, IQ tests are graded across average in a generation...

Github's SMS or TOTP requirement for u2f use is a shame - why would you use u2f if you have already set up these? And if you want to use u2f because you don't trust your phone as a security device (hello Android users) - not good. Or maybe you don't want to mix your personal phone with work it infra, it's a bad equation there too.

I guess you could still use a software TOTP implementation on your workstation to fool Github, but then you are not getting the additional security from u2f because the totp codes are a substitute for the u2f token.
He was also a 'naive architect'. Which is a good thing and the world needs a good sprinkling of naive artists at all times. There is much to learn from them. They create their own art with its own rules and own style.

Perhaps a good way of putting it would be that there's probably not an extremely solid line like that 20%.

You would leap at a bet with 10000-1 odds, and never go for 2-1.

Let's say you can make these bets repeatedly. Would you always bet on 5.01-1 odds and never on 4.99-1 odds?

Is it that odd to think that your team has about a 20% chance to win?
Well, AI can "imagine" the full contents of complex 3D scene simply by being shown three images at various angles, so I thought there might be a possibility to train an AI how to look for patters in crypto and plaintext and "imagine" the function as well.

Other way around. If you have conversations in your inbox that you think would be interesting or useful to others, then you should post them!

Well, sure, you can program imperatively without side-effects, but you can also use side-effects within asynchronous streams. The point of using functional programming with reactive programming is that you have a guarantee that you won't get non-deterministic behavior.

tcmalloc has a lot of parameters, and the defaults are not suited to any workload I've ever seen, so I'd be interested to know if these knobs were turned for this benchmark. Things like total thread cache size make a huge difference. Also note that the tcmalloc being tested here, from the Debian package, lacks the fast-path improvements released in gperftools 2.6, which represented a roll-up of years of internal Google improvements to tcmalloc.

As I said, I'm conflicted. I've talked to a few shop owners who told me most people move off of them in short order, no different than when people start with Blu or any of the other more "cigalike" brands.

In my interpretation, no company can really stay afloat by sticking to beginners, except for a very small portion. Every "beginner" device these days is good enough for a long-time user. Even those companies have things that are for more advanced users, though the highly advanced stuff is a different world entirely.

The CA regulations opened the door for companies like Juul to thrive. No one took these sorts of companies seriously enough to suggest them to anyone. Now that CA has all these regulations, vape shops just gave up and started carrying them. It's ironic because so much of the regulations purportedly about safety, yet it's only going to take one Juul to leak to see someone dead of nicotine poison, and the company can apparently advertise as they are due to loopholes.
Almost anything can land you in prison for years, nowadays. But that doesn't mean there's no difference in impact. Gentoo can count themselves as extraordinarily lucky precisely because there is a difference, between getting hit by a troll rather than a white-collar criminal.

What would be cool if there was a very simple low power display bluetooth which just displayed an left/right/upp arrow with a number counting down when to turn or stop.

Phones don't really work mounted on a bike, but a simple display could do the job. Sort of how android watch displays an arrow, but using a low power screen.
Or just give an actual explanation. The truth doesn't have to be boring.

"In this hole here is the camera lens. When you point it at something and press the button, the camera takes a picture. Then a little computer in here turns the picture into a drawing, and then the printer puts the drawing on paper, which comes out here." Bonus points for doing a teardown to show the parts.

Kids can be just as impressed by the real world as by made-up stories, and even things learned in early childhood can have long-lasting effects. For example, once I was sitting in physics class listening to the teacher and suddenly had a flashback of my father giving a much better explanation of the same thing when I was maybe 5 years old.

Did he even bother checking error bars due to multiple test correction when verifying the correlations in pooled data?

We could ask Cochrane what they find. They tend to use many more studies than 14 as input with clear inclusion and exclusion criteria.

I suspect the author misuses statistics and fails to check internal and external validity of his measures.

How did he even get the real IQ points when the test had been changed and regraded about every 20 years? How does he convert the numbers to g? Is it general or slanted? Is his measure verified to be consistent even in a single generation across cultures? Etc.

And I'm sure some of that is because the children of Harvard graduates tend to be more qualified (in terms of other application criteria) than the general population or applicant pool.

If an additional 1000 2.0 students applied to Harvard next year this number would look even worse. But would the change be meaningful?

That's not to say they don't take legacy into account. But, as presented, those numbers can be misleading.

Nope :( The sequence starts with 1 because there is just one triangle with an area of 2 that satisfies the conditions. I ended up with a sequence similar to your previous one when I forgot to take the absolute value of area -- x1(y2-y3) + x2(y3-y1) + x3*(y1-y2))/2 . That could be a possibility in case you were using the same formula. In your first result - 1, 3, 6, 14.... , first two are right, third over-counted and rest are undercounted.
