Hm yes I was wrong about that. It looks like v8 and PyPy do it (which is apparent from some Googling and grepping of the code).

I have been reading some papers on JITs and I don't see escape analysis mentioned that often. In the PyPy paper (which is over a decade old) they mention it as future work.

Still, I actually tried PyPy on a string-based workload and it was slower than CPython and used more memory. I don't know why but that contributes to my feeling that JITs are bad for string-based workloads.

I'm interested in seeing any pointers to benchmarks that show the improvements resulting from escape analysis in JITs. I haven't seen anything like that and I've done a decent amount of research.

A cursory look at this blog post makes me think it's not super straightforward:

https://v8project.blogspot.com/2017/09/disabling-escape-anal...

That post is less than a year old! i.e. the fact that v8 has been around for 10+ years and they're still updating escape analysis makes me wonder what the issue with it is. Is it hard to implement or does it not produce that much speedup? I appreciate any pointers.
Whenever a solution offers you simplicity, you're giving up flexibility. That's why I'd prefer to use a more advanced but standardized open source platform like Kubernetes.

> If you start Emacs with `emacs --no-init-file --no-site-file --no-splash` it starts (especially in non-GUI mode) in a fraction of a second.

Sure thing, but most real-world setups have multiple heavy packages installed.

> If you then write your init file(s) in a certain way (use autoloads) you can maintain this performance while retainng all your customization.

Worth noting that autoloading is useful up to a point - after a threshold, the gains are only theoretical (your reported startup was 0.1s, but immediately after Emacs startup, it froze 2 seconds because all the autoloads are now doing its work).

In the end when I open Emacs I want a bunch of stuff to happen (open files, color them with syntax, etc) - some work has to be performed sooner or later.

It really just means they believe the allegations are untrue and that they think the evidence will demonstrate they're untrue or there won't be enough evidence to prove them.

The reason this is often stated or quoted is that a defendant has to make a statement to this effect when replying to the complaint. However, at the time of the initial reply, no discovery will have occurred and therefore no evidence will be officially available to either prove or disprove the allegations. Accordingly, all you can really say at that time is "we disagree and believe the allegations in the complaint are not true and/or can't be proven."

It's a stock phrase that avoids committing to any theory of the case. (It's overused nature adds to its utility as a generic denial.) "Meritless" is also a bit of jargon that means "the alleged facts don't add up to a legal claim." It captures in one word what would otherwise be a complex phrase: "the allegations are false, and even if they are not, they fail to make up the elements of the asserted claims, and even if they did make up a legal claim, there is an applicable defense."

In the right context, it's good science. The issue with this, and most science reporting, is that the context is missing or otherwise difficult to understand.

This is quite preliminary work, using cell cultures instead of actual organisms. It's quite common for effects seen in cell cultures to be very different from what is observed in whole, living tissue. But it can still be very useful for research: it can identify key diagnostic metrics, suggest mechanisms, and otherwise guide future research.

One issue here is that we already look at general lung function quite well: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-14043-2

This study examines the general lung function of non smokers who began vaping, with metrics taken from the start of vaporizer usage. This is about as direct as you can get, though is still an observational study (i.e. they did not randomly assign people to start vaping, for obvious ethical and adherence issues).

The synthesis of these studies would be to include more analysis of lung immune function. The results already suggest that inflammation is not an issue as suggested by the cell culture.

One can hope. But the U.S. government is so deep in the pockets of corporations - hiding behind America's blind worship of the free market - that I question if we'll ever get back to a place where it's willing to intervene.

Europe has been doing a great job of picking up our slack lately, but there's only so much they can do. Most of these companies are based in America, and most of the world's market is in Asia. There's a ceiling on how much the EU can fine companies before it's easier to just stop operating there. I'm sure those numbers have been crunched and that they're walking that line.
I think I should clarify what I mean by "leftism".

I distinguish leftism from liberalism. Liberalism, in most English-speaking cultures today, is variously centrist, center-right, or center-left in outlook. Liberalism is the ACLU lawyer who fights for both the Neo-Nazi's freedom to hold a protest march in Skokie as well as the black tenant's freedom from discrimination. Liberalism is the Enlightenment. The term "liberal", in American parlance, has been intermittently hijacked by leftists, but it is a separate tradition from leftism.

The archetypal leftists were the French peasants seated in the literal left wing of the Estates-General. The French Revolution itself was a huge mess of conflicting influences, ranging from constitutional monarchists to Enlightenment republicans to the bloody-minded Jacobins. But the grand narrative was that the commoners of France represented a social and economic class that was oppressed by the other two estates (the clergy and nobility), and rose up to overthrow their oppressors. It doesn't take a lot to turn this narrative into the Marxist narrative (where the working class overthrows the oppressive bourgeoisie). With a little bit of squinting, and by throwing out the distinctly Marxist idea that class divisions are primary to gender or ethnic divisions, this narrative turns into the left-feminist narrative (where women overthrow the oppressive patriarchy), the leftist racial narratives that mostly found full fruit in places like Zimbabwe (where People Of Color overthrow the oppressive white colonizers), and so forth.

Leftism is, in my estimation, an ideological mistake. The Jacobins didn't build a grand republic, they just killed a bunch of people until the country fell under a military dictatorship. The Marxists didn't build a grand socialist republic, they just killed a bunch of people and the countries they controlled fell under despotism. Zimbabwe turned into a basket case, while its neighbor South Africa prospered by fostering reconciliation rather than retribution towards their white population. I think it's crucial for sensible, moderate, centrist, liberal people (of which I consider myself one) to identify, reject, and repudiate this narrative. Obama has made imperfect but valiant efforts at this, while Nelson Mandela's rejection of post-colonial leftism is, in my estimation, one of the greatest acts of political heroism in recent history.

Also, yes--while right-wing and non-leftist ideologies also employ tribalism, they don't employ it within the specific context of the oppression narrative.
Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things I've ever done. Just reading this thread has brought up some nostalgia.

I think ecigs and nicotine gum/lozenges should be encouraged if someone wants to quit. Many people have found them useful bridging the gap between smoking and cessation. Going even a few hours without anything is enough to cause some people give up. Having help might give them confidence to eventually follow through.

Trading addiction to cigarettes for addiction to vapes or gum is a step in the right direction, but I agree eventually you have to pay the piper.
Because when people hear a word they like, they like to try and use it every chance they get. They want to show off their large vocabulary. I remember thinking something similar when the election cycle rolls around and every pundit and news anchor is talking about how an issue "resonates" with voters. An otherwise rarely used word that becomes used to describe something specific becomes almost like a brand name.

What happens when 500 million people start to go to the few private hospitals? It looks like there could be some nice election-year “progress,” but that isn’t going to magically make more private beds appear. Perhaps funding and fixing the public hospitals might be a higher priority otherwise, private hospital prices will increase. This plan has the potential to create some serious health cost inflation. If everyone now has $7200 to spend, that’s just going to raise the prices because long waiting lists will lead to people who are private pay being able to access care more easily if they are willing to pay higher prices. But, “health insurance for all” sounds better as an election slogan than “we are going to fix the structural issues with our public hospital systems.”

Employees not showing up to work in the public hospitals? Pay them more and fire them when they don’t show up. Medicine shortages? Then buy more as well as audit the current usages of medicines to reduce waste. Not enough beds? Buy more. Fixing the public system is going to be far more sustainable than suddenly giving everyone $7200 when there isn’t enough capacity. The math doesn’t work with 500 million people unless they expect utilization rates to stay the same — which they won’t there are probably 10s of millions that don’t use the system at all, but they sure will when they can afford it. I think this politician is making promises he knows will be impossible to keep, but will help him win an election before the people realize that it was an plan with no possibility of actually increasing availability of care.

Google writes that ‘Google Compute Engine employs host isolation features which ensure that an individual core is never concurrently shared between distinct virtual machines’.

However, GCE does offer shared core machine types (f1-micro and g1-small) with 0.2 and 0.5 vCPUs respectively. This seems to contradict their statement (unless the cores are not shared after all, but that doesn’t make sense from an economical standpoint).

Also, they offer machines with one vCPU, but since a vCPU is only a single hyper-thread and not a full core, this still allows for the core to be shared over multiple VMs. If this means that Google will stop using hyperthreading and instead give everyone a full CPU core per vCPU, that will likely give noticeable performance benefits (but cost more for them).
Yes I was wrong about that [1], but now I'm interested in any benchmarks / performance evaluation of escape analysis in JITs :)

This is the weirdest error I've had regarding cache. On browsers in which I've previously
visited the website, there's some sort of "forced" cache that, no matter how many times I do Cmd+R, it still loads a cached version of an index.html file.

Also, if I do Shift+Cmd+R it correctly loads the new version (on Firefox), but if I do Cmd+R again, it loads the old cached file again!

Weirdest thing is that in Chrome, Shift+Cmd+R ONLY works if the dev console is open. Any ideas as to what can be happening here?

I'm sending a `Cache-Control: no-cache` header which only shows up on the "Shift+Cmd+R" cases. Shouldn't the file be re-cached once Shift+Cmd+R has "correctly" worked (i.e. loaded the new file)?

Yes, but they didn't exactly equivocate about the idea that oppression was bad regardless of who was oppressing whom. They didn't try and guilt Jews into not "oppressing" them; they spurred Germans into a deep hatred of the Jews that would persist independent of any situational influences.
How is the latter possible in case of 1 vCPU VM instances if 1 vCPU == 1 hyperthread? Do they give you a full core in this case?
> A privileged majority angrily attacking any attempts to refine the meaning of existing words to describe the real-world consequences of prejudice (racism), and attacking attempts to introduce new language to describe the structure of non-prejudice (privilege).

1. Which privileged majority?

2. No one is censoring you. Talk all you like. Putting ideas and thoughts in the open is critical to arriving at common truth.

3. I don't accept that use of the terminology in question, in case that was unclear. Your redefinitions and new language are not sacrosanct to me. Here's how I see the three _P_ words:

* Prejudice, colloquially speaking, is to negatively judge people based on preconceived notions and stereotypes.

* A Privilege is a specific right or advantage gained through merit or inheritance.

* Power is the ability to exercise a freedom with low risk of sanction.

Sure, let's imagine a world without elevators.

> How many people want to climb 20 stories
> of stairs every day of their life.

I'd guess a lot. How long does it take you to climb 20 stories if you're having to do it every single day of your life so you're used to it? Let's say a generous 10 seconds per floor, so that's around 3 and a half minutes.

Just waiting for and taking the elevator will easily take a minute at least. So we're left with just over 2 minutes.

This is on the order of time that it takes many people to walk from their parked car to the front door at work, or even just to park their car!

That would be nothing compared to the alternative of there being 1-3 floor houses everywhere, so you'd need to commute even further than that.

> nevermind the transportation of equipment.

Almost all of the tall houses in Amsterdam built in pre-elevator times have a hook on the top floor that can be used to hoist cargo up. Some similar arrangement could be worked out for modern houses if they didn't have elevators.
I don't understand cache fully, but I do know that if you open Dev Tools in Chrome and long-press the Refresh button, it will give you a drop down with the option "Empty Cache and Hard Reload", and also shows you that Shift+Cmd+R is just Hard Reload without emptying the cache. Sometimes I need to do this, but I don't fully know why or when.

Really? I did not realize this at all! I suppose this should make me feel 50% safer on the road as a non-drunk motorcyclist.

One time I was out with friends and I'd ridden my motorcycle. As an experiment, I had one beer and then rode home. Just that one beer that wouldn't have mattered at all in a car was very noticeable when riding my motorcycle, and I vowed no alcohol ever again when riding.
Fine, but that doesn't explain the installation of crappy Wal-Mart-special basketball hoops adjacent to the public park's pristine full-courts. Nor does it explain the U.S.'s intense aversion to public transit, which burns far hotter than any practical consideration could possibly explain. Neither does it shed any light on the sad way in which suburban dads build rickety basement bars, never stopping to consider that the point of the bar is that it is, in fact, located at the bar and not your basement.
