Of course, simply solving Meltdown can be done on an existing CPU.

However, VLIW-like architectures could give us back the performance of out-of-order execution without the drawbacks since the compiler has much more direct control over the caches and registers used in the CPU as well as branch prediction and lots of other internals.

Of course, you also need much smarter compilers, since the Itanium failure, we've come a long way and I'm convinced that Rust and friends would be able to get the maximum out of a VLIW-like with some additional work.
While you have a point, some people seem to think that everything is an XY problem. Sometimes I just want to ask a question and not shoot down a hundred answers because they don't understand the actual restraints I've got.
Retired In Place

“Well I’ve got 3 more years, then I can retire”

“I don’t care about that release date, I’ll be retired by then!”

“The reasons I like this place are, well, job security...”

“We know your coworker does nothing all day, but he’s about to retire next December, so why try to fire him?”
Yes, which is why you should pick earliest data to be the most conservative and then say "hey, we're living much better than people in 1800s".

Comparing down is not helpful. The government is supposed to be striving up and not letting things settle compared to a low baseline or slide down.

If you're arguing that the situation is within bounds of some sort of cycle or variance, you get to show evidence for bounded variance (e.g. bands) and arguments on how much of it is normal.
1. avoid metrics. Ask during the interview how they gauge your work performance, how people get bonuses, etc. As a rule you'd much rather be judged by a person, your direct manager, than by an Excel sheet. Yes, hostile managers can be a source of stress, but they'll be that in any case. Metrics are simply an additional potential source of stress.

2. avoid having to deal with backups. Think of all the warnings about test coverage. Or about advocacy for compile-time checks, and for more thorough checks, for information in the editor as you're coding. Backup systems are all about finding out that shit's broke after it's too late and when you most urgently need it. They are an incarnation of stress. And if you do it well, nobody will ever even know. It's not "heads - bonus, tails - no bonus", but "heads - you can come into work tomorrow for the same pay, tails - you can't".
Why transportation industry is sensing a growing need for RTLS?
Okay, there are a few possibilities here, so I'll go over some of the ones I feel may be the more difficult aspects of learning to program:

1. It's much harder to read other people's code than to code yourself, so it's very easy to get put off by the apparent complexity of other people's work.

But you don't know why their work is like that. You don't know if their coding is actually good, you don't know what odd OS/browser/language version bugs are being fixed by the weirdness there, you can't see all the work that went into the program before... It can be misleading, and make you feel like you 'don't get it'.

2. Tutorials being very heavily slanted towards the beginner and expert ends of the spectrum. It's harder to go from intermediate to expert than from beginner to intermediate or learn more as an expert, because few tutorials are written for that level of expertise.

3. Similarly, figuring out why something may work the way it does on a fundamental level can be tricky. Tutorials often have a 'just trust us on this' attitude towards explaining tihngs, and don't really go into why different types of variables work, why loops work, why say Redux works the way it does, etc.

4. And I guess for some people, just the whole mindset can be difficult to get into. Programming is a very precision driven exercise, and for people used to the 'good enough' way that most of society works, that can feel jarring and awkward. It can feel like being the world's strictest dog trainer, with the computer or language or compiler or what not being a pooch that can't figure out what you want from it unless you teach it in the exact right way.
Anecdotally my wife concurs with the OP.

According to her experience(and talking with other women) as soon as the office gets 4-5 women, you get the Marie Antoinette type of tiny intrigues about issues that most heterosexual men would completely gloss over.

Theoretically a man could spin such intrigues as well.

It doesn't necessarily mean that such an office is a bad place to work as it may or may not affect overall productivity.

Personally, I've never noticed such things but then again as a programmer most working environments are 90%+ men.

I've never seen a whiteboard interview in the UK, I imagine the op would probably confirm he's never seen one in France.

The whiteboard thing seems to be a US obsession.
Yes I think so too that storing for months laters at scale started much later.

But it probably also made sense to collect them and store them before they germinate into a plant at least a few of them, otherwise then we can't eat them anymore.

Before moving around, they probably grabbed a bunch of them in a simple basket to have some food later in the day in an unknown place.

Most importantly, tubers are available at a much wider range of latitudes than tropical fruit. Chimps cant go very far away from the equator due to that, unlike hominids who have developed the enzimes to digest cooked starch.

You're describing the difference between unsecured and secured loans. The parent explicitly stated that they were talking about unsecured loans (where there's no tangible thing to repossess).
> Because he's a person. Because she has problems. Because he has a family.

That's just appeal to empathy - any human has it, until he's a sociopath, but like any other basic instinct, it's human nature to reign over it and not let it run your life.

> Because he has a family. Because that's my friend and uncle and neighbor.

Most likely he's not - there are very few people who I (or you) would actually call family and care about in the way you care about family. This Joe is most likely just an anonymous person that you don't know or care about.

> I get where you're coming from about the exasperatingly impossible web of moral obligations, but you can't give up.

I can't give up something that I didn't put on myself first.
You can get a similar workflow with Jails. Docker became popular because of the CLI but there are many similar options now on FreeBSD.
I may be feeling a touch pedantic, perhaps I just live in a different world being on the ISP side, but the Internet is not centralised at all. Large quantities of traffic ends up going to certain central locations, but the network itself is decidedly decentralised. Just look at LINX for example and the other major IXs, nobody there is telling everyone else where to send their packets, they just go where needed. In fact LINX as an organisation is a members organisation run by its members with each one, big or small, having one vote.

IXs, BGP, RIRs like RIPE, and the proliferation around the globe of access ISPs, all prove how decentralised the Internet is.

But if the point the article is trying to make is "all this content is being hosted in fewer and fewer locations and that's bad" then I completely agree. It damages choice and hugely increases the blast radius of service outages.

Now if Amazon and Facebook started offering end user connectivity, that's the time to really worry. cough Google.
5G does not replace fiber everywhere, just copper.

One of the benefits of 5G over 4G is extremely low latency.

In the industry 5G shows promise in factory/robot automation inside plants. 5G has ultra low latency and free operator independent frequencies that make it WiFi competitor.
English isn’t the creator’s first language. Read the ReadMe. Your comment is completely irrelevant.
> Because it does not make the world a better place.

This is a very high level of abstraction. Making the world a better place is sometimes interesting and to me, and sometimes it's something that I (or you) would be completely indifferent to. Unless you're from a Coke commercial or a hippy commune, "making the world a better place" is not really what you're after.

Now, how are all these things that you mentioned actually relevant to your or me?
Automatic roaming seems to be the killer feature that nobody has noticed - I know IPsec has this to a degree but Wireguard looks like it works much faster.
As far as working in east Asia: most of the BigCos have multiple headquarters and internal transfers. It’s probably easiest to get hired at an office in a country where you already have work authorization. After a year or two, you can apply for internal transfer and get assistance with visa applications and relocation costs. I know at least two people who have done this.

I don't see it. In both cases, you've got "these people" (I guess you mean conservative americans, why didn't you say so, by the way) simply ask, how is it relevant to them and their self-interest. It's the same logic.
Yup; in additiona it needs e.g. calories per m2 and cost. In the article I see a lot of leaves (very low caloric count) with a lot of employees around it in lab coats - that just can't be profitable. It can't compete with thousands of acres of high-calorie products like corn or potatoes harvested by just one guy in a combine. At the moment (According to a quora post, https://www.quora.com/How-many-people-can-be-fed-year-round-...), right now we use 0.5 acres of farmland per person; I'm sure that can be optimized a bit so let's say 0.25 acres per person, or ~1000 m2. That's an area of 30x30 meters. The Empire State Building, to name a random example, is ~130x57 meters, or about 7500m2 (very rough calculation). Therefore, you can feed about 7.5 people per floor. Give or take, very rough back of the napkin calculation.

7.5 people per floor isn't a lot and it's very expensive. Maybe useful for colonizing Mars where money isn't that big of a deal, but definitely not feed-the-world level scaling.

around southern ontario, hydroponic leaf lettuce is close to $3.00 a head...
a head will mature in 3 weeks from transplant from starter trays...
that means 21 heads of lettuce in some state of growth between leafling and finished product if you do a continuous production culture...
8 inches is adequate linear spacing for fancy leaf lettuce thus 168 linear inches per batch repetition thats 14 feet or 2 units of 7 feet...
almost everyone has the spatial capacity to produce thier own continuous supply of leaf lettuce at home, if they dont mind tending them as they would a common house plant...

I don't agree multiple processes are hackish at all. CPUs/MMUs have dedicated hardware for managing memory, O/Ss have tools to limit and monitor memory usage, and separate memory regions/segments can be very effective and simple means for security isolation (save for meltdown/rowhammer-style attacks). I know this could be used as a general argument against any innovation, but single-process-per-requests have worked well since inetd (4.3BSD in 1977). Considering hardware has improved orders-of-magnitudes since, what is the advantage of doing the same with very restricted programming models, especially when developer costs are dominating new service developments?
It's called severability.
Actually, not that hard. The speed of sound in tungsten is easily twice that of gold, hitting it with a hammer and analyzing the response on the other hand will easily tell you that it's tungsten or gold. In theory, a smartphone app could do it.

You can also test shear forces on the bar, a test you can perform easily at the bank itself (or any of the other material forces tests really). Those do usually require a bit of machinery.

Lastly, you can measure electric resistance. A gold bar will have a different resistance than a tungsten bar, especially if you compare a frequency sweep AC resistance vs DC resistance (if there is a difference, which should be about 20nOhm/m vs 50nOhm/m for Gold/Tungsten, you know the material has a core that is different from the outside).

Mark Twain: A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling:

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter 'c' would be dropped to be replased either by 'k' or 's', and likewise 'x' would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which 'c' would be retained would be the
'ch' formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform
'w' spelling, so that 'which' and 'one' would take the same konsonant,
wile Year 3 might well abolish 'y' replasing it with 'i' and Iear 4
might fiks the 'g/j' anomali wonse and for all. Jenerally, then, the
improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with
useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and
the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud

It can be both a market failure and governmental failure, either because it allowed it or because it is applying bandage solutions that actually do not work long term and not trying to figure out real ones. Alternatively it is bought by the actors causing the market failure.

Just the exploitation of certain properties of the imperfect markets that actually exist is enough for the current situation to occur in absence of arbitrage.
Market could be working exactly as modeled given a full model with big information inequality and low labour elasticity.
non-parametrics! I took that class in college. This brings back memories. I got the impression you use non parametrics when you've got a sample size of 4 and you don't want all your statistics being un-legit sounding numbers like 25, 22.5, 50.. etc. "Increase" our sample size by adding every permutation of the 4 data points we started with to the sample! Gets you some cool statsi numbers like 63.1924.
Precisely! :D
Immersive Interview with David Ripert
> Eg the word "sauce", which consists of two identical consonants and a single vowel. Why not choose å for that vowel? Sås makes a lot of sense

'sauce' has three consonants in my accent and no 'a' sound; it's a homonym of 'source'. Likewise, in your proposal, would 'pås' be a homograph for 'pass' and 'pause'?

Well, it seems you consider a “personal attack” any comment directed to another person, even if it is meaningful for the discussion and in-context. Your own guidelines ask for maintaining an identity (“On HN, users should have an identity that others can relate to.”); yet you don’t want any comments questioning anyone.

As for the rest: I don’t see how asking for proof can be considered “bullying”.

Please review the definition of bullying, because you are trivializing it and therefore hurting actual victims of bullying.

Thank you on behalf of them.

Finally, since it seems HN are in the business of deleting fair comments, I will leave the site and do my best warn others of what is happening here.

Good luck.

I was reading about non-disparage clauses and I find it disturbing that these clauses are allowed to override a law as fundamental as free speech. It's disturbing that the US needs to make new laws just to reaffirm the validity of some of its oldest, most fundamental laws.

Doesn't that in itself reduce the credibility of all laws? Maybe the real problem is that the justice system is not doing its job properly.
Custom instructions is what Tensilica Xtensa "configurable cores" about. That's different from the custom instructions you are talking about in that the technology is all about pre-fab stage, that is possible to add custom instructions on levels lower than microcode, but still it's hardcoded into the "customized" CPU. The main problem with the technology is still C compiler support for added custom instructions.

To a certain extent, although that’s a large simplification. There’s a lot more cross-pollination between European languages than on that diagram, most obviously with English nouns being adopted (le weekend, etc) but also in slightly more unexpected ways. For example, Swedish has a fair amount of French vocabulary (’glass’ for ice-cream when all other Nordic languages use ‘is’) because of a desire to integrate with the French court (which lead to Carl ‘Jean-Baptiste’ XIV Johan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_XIV_John_of_Sweden ).
Hyper-V was indeed designed to work presumably on servers. But the story does not end there.

Let me continue the story.

Windows Phone 8 came out in 2012. It was the version that signified the shift from Silverlight-based runtime to so called WinRT.

How on Earth Virtual PC could be related to Windows Phone? Here is the thing.

Windows Phone Emulator required a working Hyper-V setup. Say, you had no real Windows Phone device, but wanted to take a look at this new shiny thing. Run an emulator!

But wait. Emulator was based on Hyper-V, and Hyper-V required a CPU with SLAT feature. To give you a context, if you had an Intel Core i3 CPU, you were out of luck. You could not run the Windows Phone emulator! The same applied to a lot of other widespread CPU models. I guess only 8% of developers world-wide were lucky enough to have a CPU with a SLAT at that time.

So Microsoft ended in an intricate situation when Hyper-V was originally designed for server use only, but ended up as a critical dependency for an important desktop component (Windows Phone Emulator).

I guess you know where that headed. Just a few developers could take a grasp on Windows Phone Emulator, while the majority of them were out of luck. This factor undermined Windows Phone development. It was essentially a time bomb that led to Windows Phone app starvation in upcoming years, among other factors.

Combined with a Moore law slowdown, SLAT requirement turned out to be a weapon of mass destruction for Windows Phone. People who bought Core i3 in 2012 usually didn't bother to upgrade. So Windows Phone Emulator was much of a dead horse from the start.

--------------------------------------------------

Regarding those fancy CPU features for virtualization assistance. One may think that SLAT was an absolute requirement for Hyper-V, but here is a funny point of anecdata.

In order to workaround that nasty SLAT requirement, some developers resorted to the following scheme on CPUs that din't support SLAT: they installed VMware, installed a guest Windows OS. Then, they enabled nested virtualization in VMware machine settings. Then, they were able to set up Hyper-V in guest OS.

Imagine that, VMware actually emulated SLAT guest CPU on SLAT-less host CPU.

And only then, after all those hoops and wiggles those poor souls were able to run Windows Phone Emulator. What an experience.

Interestingly enough, Windows Phone Emulator was pretty snappy in that double virtualization setup. But the whole experience was ruined.

In a hindsight, that was a writing on the wall for Windows Phone.
That is only the case for online learning systems. Offline learning is definitely machine learning.
