Apple used to mock Microsoft.

Maybe people should finally figure out that if you have to mock your perceived competitor, you should probably take them seriously instead.
No, unless you have a special setup where one process on the whole machine can use AVX. That might make sense for special, controlled environments.

What I meant is that there are more registers to shuffle around at context switch time, when multiple processes use the extensions.
Lawsuit: Trustwave owes $30M for 2009 breach at Heartland Payment Systems
the quick way to tell between self-driving and mapping car sensor suites - density of the point cloud it collects, ie. type/number of sensors with the self-driving is unnecessary dense for mapping and their directionality - the self-driving is more forward looking as well as immediate vicinity of the car while the mapping is sideways and doesn't care about the immediate vicinity. I'd speculate that Apple, historically being weaker when it comes to [higher level] software, seems to have issues with building of dynamic scene perception from the big can Velodyne stream and are trying to solve it "hardware way" by structuring the perception data in more time/space consistent way inside limited sectors/planes.
Not that I disagree with the idea but do you have evidence that the average person is actually increasing spending every time they get a raise?

Why would you use markdown to take notes? Markdown is designed to be displayed as rich-text (headings, lists, etc) after authoring. If you only ever view it in plaintext as an editor, what's the point?

No, it is necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). NEC is associated with formula feeds and accounts for up to 20% of NICU costs annually. Here is a pubmed link discussing:

There's an enormous amount of complexity here. For one thing, it's not like there is an infinite amount of beef available at a fixed price. Bob's eating that burger probably on the margin increases the supply of beef, but it also on the margin increases the cost. Now everyone else has to pay 0.0000001c more for their hamburgers.

Or what if Bob bought a filet mignon instead of a hamburger. Maybe farmers will now be (on the margin), breeding cows that produce less hamburger but more steak. This could increase the price of food that poor people eat. If Bob buys a Tesla, maybe Bob helps expand the supply of Teslas, but now buying a Corolla is slightly more expensive, because there are slightly fewer economies of scales in sedans. (This is actually happening, BTW, as Americans buy larger cars.) I also spoke of Bob taking a vacation. He spent a thousand dollars on plane tickets, which has serious deleterious environmental effects, and for the most part represents a purchase of oil, not labor services. Oil workers wages may have gone up a bit, but most of the money just went into the pocket of whoever owns the oil.

These are just some examples of possible things that could happen. Without empirical testing, we could not know what the exact impacts of any given decision are, and realistically, we do not have the resources to track the impacts of each decision through the economy.
I was talking to another person in the community, now this was well over a decade ago, maybe two, with the initials "DJB". He said: "I went onto IRC once. I was mistaken for Daniel Bernstein. It was the most awful 15 minutes of my life."

I spoke to another fairly famous person a few years later, let's say author of the authoritative book on one of the alternatives for one of djb's software packages. He said something along the lines of: It's a shame djb gets along so poorly with other people, because he has a lot of good ideas.

So, agreed: Authenticity but not humility.
You also need to understand how it got that way. In this case, a lot of the things the author takes issue with are a combination of eternal backwards compatibility, really wide portability, and having originally been devised when memory was tiny and processors were slow. It's one of those things where if you rebuilt it yourself, by the time you covered all features of the original, you would be just as ugly.

FWIW, Replacing "th" with "θ" would really be a "re-placement": Theta and the "voiced dental fricative"[1] were smeared together in Old English long ago.[2]

I.e. "there" and "theater" are two different "th"'s.[3]

The crazy thing is - the voodoo works: They don't even have to hold up! The threat of litigation itself and/or the patents being a bargaining chip in such litigations are enough.

I mean, look at the 1-click example: It doesn't matter that many of their claims were deemed invalid years later, the damage (direct: expensive lawsuit, preliminary injunction, settlement; indirect: chilling effect) has been done.

I notice this on occasion when people are speaking a language I do understand, but I miss a syllable or two when they begin speaking. The rest of their speech might as well be another language as it all runs together incomprehensibly. I cannot parse the whole sentence after missing the prompt at the beginning, and cannot even separate where the words split.
Oddly enough, these are among the least concerning, least permanent aspects of the specs; not sure why they bother you so much either. It's frankly not a whole lot different from MIPS, except lacking exposed delay slots, and a number of instructions that turn out not to have been used much. My biggest issue is with how many instruction bytes it can take to load an arbitrary 64-bit immediate without an IC, but that can be gotten around by using an IC.
Thanks for sharing this video.

When she's discussing Compensations she mentions that the Transaction (T_i) can't have an input dependency on T_i-1. What are some things I should be thinking about when I have hard, ordered dependencies between microservice tasks? For example, microservice 2 (M2) requires output from M1, so the final ordering would be something like: M1 -> M2 -> M1.

Currently, I'm using a high-level, coordinating service to accomplish these long-running async tasks, with each M just sending messages to the top-level coordinator. I'd like to switch to a better pattern though, as I scale out services.

Then that's not agile.

Agile means small teams focused on one project communicating constantly with the client in a feedback loop.

You're being downvoted but it's a good question, and there is a great answer.

The more people can fully help themselves, the less I have to help them, the more of my production I get to keep.

The increased standards of living of all people, increases the potential for all. More wealth in the economy, more capital that can be invested, more income, more potential jobs.

Speaking simplistically, if my neighbor is doing better, now we can trade. Whereas perhaps he previously, in poverty, could not afford to trade with me. I just gained a new customer and perhaps he can fulfill a demand I have the other direction.

The human mind in general is extraordinary when taken to its potential. Even people with median IQs are capable of tremendous productivity and contribution when they're unleashed.

Violent crime in the US has declined dramatically at exactly the same time the US has dramatically expanded its welfare state. It's highly unlikely that's a coincidence (or solely to be chalked up to removing lead from the environment). People that are less desperate are going to be less violent, they will commit fewer crimes, it will produce a safer society.

At the far end of the scale, I dramatically benefit from there being more Einsteins, not less. I benefit from more Edisons and Teslas, not less. A stronger society ensures that less Teslas die in childhood, and reach their full potential rather than otherwise languishing.

How many great inventors were lost in Mao's genocides and famines? Or otherwise languished in 40 years of extreme, forced poverty with minimal education and sustenance? Plausibly a lot.

The higher the income of the bottom ~2/3, the less welfare they require, the lower taxes can be, and the more they can net contribute to society. The lower taxes are, the more capital becomes available in the private sector to save and invest. As an example, if you considerably move up the incomes of the people in the 30% directly below the median (not the bottom 20%), then they require less of the tax revenue to go to them for social welfare purposes, and they can become greater net contributors to helping the 20% at the very bottom (whether through paying taxes or charity).

At national levels, this has enabled for example the dramatic reduction in aid that needs to go to a country like China or South Korea, as they've climbed out of poverty and into greater prosperity. That aid can now go to the other remaining poor nations, and those countries like China & South Korea can become considerable net contributors to global aid. The whole process dramatically accelerates in a virtuous cycle. The exact same concept applies within a country as well, when it comes to lifting people out of poverty such that less aid needs to go to them and that those people can become net contributors.
Not at all! But that’s what all the other security whitewash on financial and ecommerce sites say, so to most folks it, like, totally means it’s really really secure— pinky swear!
Labor ‘shortages’ are simply an excuse to import cheap labor. There exist talent that will take a discount on pay for the fringe benefit of immigrating. This in effect is a community subsidy to the company. This is one reason why lobbying is a hugely profitable enterprise. Eventually the community becomes too taxed and social problems occur and we get populist uprisings. I consider this both an unfortunate and an entirely predictable outcome.

Summary units breakdown:

Of course, there is probably a large difference in licensing and royalty cost between the A series and the M series. Based on the numbers above, it wouldn’t surprise me if the A series results in higher revenue than the M.

True. A common starting salary in Stockholm is $50K ($37K), with that you can afford a nice and central apartment (~$20K without a mortgage, otherwise [potentially much, of course] lower).

Note that you don't rent apartments, you buy them. It makes a comparison harder.

That's very interesting. What I described is the general case, you may have an unusually wired brain, triggering logic/emotions synesthesia.

The emotions you describe are reminiscent of the "Martian colors" described by a colorblind synesthete who could see words in colors, including colors his eyes could not trigger in his brain.

Richard Feynman was notoriously synesthete. He could see math in color (builtin syntax highlighting :-).
I don't think most software needs to care about these weird exotic systems anymore (MINIX? seriously?). Maybe if that's really a goal of your software, it's reasonable to use autotools.
Not everyone is on welfare. The point is everyone should have the same basic level of resources available.

Another issue is politicians already try to attack the current welfare, Examples:

I take notes in Markdown in an editor that formats it automagically called IA Writer. Bullets are indented, headlines bolded and out-dented, etc.
It isn't that simple. A company that does "good things" for their employees can in turn reap results from those "good things". Better employees, or employees that stay long enough to have experience both have a value that returns back to shareholders.

Of course how much so spend on those "good things" is an optimization problem.

I haven't read the algorithm here yet nor all of the comments, so this may have already been covered, but in many cases when it comes to sorting integers and such you don't really need to sort them at all - you just need to count them.
I've struggled with that a couple of times.

Anecdotal evidence: I wrote a technical report describing an algorithm and its novel applications, etc. A good compromise between a high-level description of the concepts and a documentation of the actual code (and thus a guide for implementing it), in my opinion.

I tried to turn that into a scientific paper and it was rejected. Changed the entire notation to a "math-y" notation that actually "obfuscates or impresses rather than clarifies" (direct quote from the article). Accepted with positive comments on the very same aspects that got it rejected in the first place. This in a Computer Science conference.
I frequently take notes in markdown even though I rarely view it non-plaintext myself. But I use markdown because it's well-suited to conversion to other formats through pandoc, and I sometimes send notes to others (who don't like plaintext/markdown). It's particularly nice to convert to .doc, .docx, and .pdf (through LaTeX).

Perhaps this is a silly reason, but I use vim and I like my markdown syntax highlighting. I rather like reading my plaintext markdown + (default) syntax highlighting. I suppose it would be possible to write/use some txt syntax+highlighting (or some .note format, etc.), but I reinvent the wheel in enough other places to not want to do that here.

With regards to diagnosing configure, “config.log” is actually a very good record of all the work done by configure. If a check or test fails, config.log shows it alongside the exact command line used to compile/link/execute it, allowing you to reproduce a failure (or even just directly see which dependency/local quirk caused it). I’ve found very few reasons to dive into ./configure itself, which as you rightly note is a rats nest.
> Why wouldn't I want to use the chip's CPU to the fullest extent at runtime?

Because you'd rather use GNU autoconf?

If you wanted the fastest possible performance, you'd try each algorithm, profile them, then select the one that works best. This build process can do that automatically. GNU autoconf cannot.

You can tell autoconf which to use, but the package maintainer can't be trusted to do this.

Then the user will just complain that it's not that much faster than qsort.

The package maintainer would be to blame for users thinking this was slow software simply because they chose poor defaults, and nobody would ever know...
I'm not sure what you mean. If you simply take the chapter titles and google them, you end up at Head First Python [1], which seems like a great book that doesn't require $250 a year. It's probably safe to assume that this was the author's intention.

Well, for one, Linus isn't the current maintainer of Git. It's currently Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>, someone whose main responsibility in open source is looking after git, who has the time and inclination to review your contributions thoughtfully. Have you ever actually read a git man page? Or do you just get all of your git knowledge from scattered blog posts and cheat sheets? No wonder people think git is hard. Read a random git man page right now and you'll find it quite pleasant to read and containing a plethora of useful information.
That was humor. I'm aware of the centuries of anti-fox propaganda.
I've loved this aspect of CL. I often repeat a self-quote of mine (somewhat patronizingly) to my teams.

Often times, it's not necessarily how something works, but how well it breaks. Things will break, so engineer for it. You'll be happy, the team will be happy, and the business will be happy.

Debugging and error handling are first class activities. Building a thoughtful, "well engineered" tool chain around these activities is the mark of a great platform (and the developers behind it), in my opinion.
